There was nothing to say all the way back to the house, nothing more than that someone came to say hello one after another, the salt merchants are a fairly stable circle, although Xue Pan was impatient, but he couldn't beat all the people to death with a stick because of some people's bad things, so he was perfunctory, and the time of the funeral was set at nine o'clock in the morning, which was originally to rectify the banquet and invite guests, Xue Pan and others returned to the Lin Mansion, and the outside of the Lin Mansion was already full of people, and they all knew that Lin Ruhai was promoted to the political envoy of Jinling Province, Everyone wants to come and congratulate Lord Lin on his ascension.

"Promoted to get rich and die of his wife", this is the best blessing of secular people to be in the officialdom, but no one knows that Lin Ruhai is very sad inside, Xue Pan hurriedly entertained, he is now very high-minded, just greet at the door, and will not do anything, go down the steps and rush forward, such a noisy thing is really not good, I didn't see anyone who came to have any sadness, Daiyu had already hidden, she went inside to talk to Izumoko, but Izumoko had no time to entertain the ladies of the family.

Lin Ruhai sent someone to invite Xue Pan, and he was also puzzled by the issuance of the will, "This matter of salt introduction and reform, although you co-organized it on the surface, but the old man's excerpt is very clear, this matter is your own idea, and you did it alone, the credit is far above the old man, why did you just get a hereditary position and be slightly promoted, and the rest turned out to be nothing, it's really strange, don't worry, don't worry, I'll go to the fold tomorrow, and ask you for credit in front of the saint." ”

"Shibo doesn't need to worry about me," Xue Pan's temper is fast to come, and to go quickly, there was some displeasure when he received the order just now, at this time he had a conversation with Daiyu, talking and laughing, and all the anger dissipated for a while, seeing that Lin Ruhai wanted to ask for credit for himself again, Xue Pan shook his head and said, "Rich and rich, I am not a forced character, it is best if there is, if not, the nephew does not care very much, in any case, the family and Meimei are together, this is the best, the father died, the aunt died, I have taken care of two funerals, I really understand the impermanence of the world, one moment I was still smiling, the next moment I may be separated forever, rich and honorable, it is really a thing outside the body, there is the best, there is no bad thing, my nephew's family still has some money, and thanks to the blue eyes of Lord Shibo, I have given so much salt, and in the next few days, I don't have to go out of office to eat, drink and have fun for a lifetime, why bother with these fame and fortune? The icing on the cake is of course a happy event, but if it doesn't, it doesn't hurt, and Shibo doesn't need to worry about his nephew. ”

Lin Ruhai seemed to have never known Xue Pan, and looked at Xue Pan for a long time, "You are so open-minded, the old man is ashamed of himself." It's just that the old man still feels indebted to you in the end. ”

"There won't be any other reason, it's just that I'm still young and unqualified, so I can't be promoted," Xue Pan said with a smile, "With Lord Shibo and my uncle taking care of me, am I still afraid that I won't be able to promote?" This time it's just these things that are stopped, if not, then someone must be blocking it. "What's there to worry about, these people are all close associates of the emperor, and with their help beating the side drum, maybe the credit for this time will be made up for next time."

Lin Ruhai was a little shocked, "The nephew's idea is extremely accurate, if the old man comes to guess, it must be just a few points." ”

Of course, I have seen countless historical crossings, can I still not know such a little routine, Xue Pan snickered in his heart, it is nothing more than the rotten reason of being young, there will be no such appalling thing as the twelve-year-old Gan Luobai in the stable era, and anyone who stands out and challenges the rules will be punished by the rules. This is one reason, another reason or someone can't see it, of course, outstanding young people are always envied, and it is normal for an excellent teenager like Xue Pan to be jealous.

If Xue Pan asked himself, whether he longed for fame and fortune, of course Xue Pan yearned, but he was not very eager, and naturally he had an indifferent attitude, Lin Ruhai was so shocked that Xue Pan was good at government affairs, "If the nephew enters the officialdom, he is also a good hand." ”

"No, I'm the most afraid of constraints, the most free, take care of business, earn some money, take care of my family, this is the most comfortable day, if I send any officials, I will be bored every day."

"The nephew's temperament is very free and easy," Lin Ruhai sighed, "The old man hasn't seen through it yet, it's just that he hasn't seen through it, which caused his wife to die early, but the old man is still different from you, you are still young, you don't know the meaning of serving the country, but it doesn't matter, you are still young, you can play for a few more years." ”

"Although Shibo wants to serve the country loyally, but he also has to take care of his body, Sister Lin is still young, and she will still rely on Shibo in the future," Xue Pan faintly knew that Lin Ruhai in history also died early, leaving a Lin Daiyu to cling to his family was a little unsatisfactory, so he also advised Lin Ruhai one or two, "Shibo's body is well maintained, and my sister can live well no matter where she is." ”

"What you said is very true," Lin Ruhai said, "I am preparing for the end of the year or the New Year, and I will let the little girl go to Kyoto and let her grandmother take care of it, so that the old man can be less anxious." ”

"Is that really good?" Xue Pan said, "My sister hasn't seen anyone in her grandmother's house, this person is not familiar with the place, in case my sister is not doing well, this is ......."

"Inevitably, no," Lin Ruhai said with a smile, "The Jia family is the most knowledgeable, and rich family, the old man's two brothers-in-law are also studious people, and my mother-in-law, who loves Mrs. the most, has written several times to let the little girl enter Beijing, but the previous lady was not in good health, so it was repeatedly delayed, and now that the lady has passed away, the little girl just entered Beijing to serve her grandmother, and it is just a full filial piety." ”

Xue Pan really didn't want Lin Daiyu to enter Beijing, but he didn't know how to say it for what the reason was, to be honest, he didn't know why he kept stopping Daiyu from entering Beijing, so it was reasonable for him to stop Daiyu, "Since that's the case, it's okay." ”

Lin Ruhai is not stupid, he seems to see why Xue Pan is sullen, he twisted his beard and smiled, "The little girl is only eight years old now, she is still young, how she is, what her temper is, I can't see it, I mean, always keep her for a few more years." ”

Xue Pan didn't know why, all of a sudden, his heart was pounding violently, and it seemed that he was about to jump out of his throat, Lin Ruhai continued, "After a few years, when the little girl grows up, if the nephew doesn't dislike it, please come to the post, how about it?" ”
