Xue Pan half complained, half sincerely confided, "These days, the things outside, a lot of busy, the matter of the dock, now there is such a situation, but I am really tired, the head of the family is here, fortunately, you still take care of it, otherwise, my lazy nature, I am afraid that my mother will talk to me even more." ”

Xue Pan is now the leader and principal of the Xue family, the most important thing is to be busy with a lot of affairs outside, the original Xue family's business has been a lot, plus last year's new salt introduction affairs, plus this year's preparation to build a wharf, although it is not a matter of personal involvement, but many things have to be decided by Xue Pan, so it is a little busy.

In addition, after Jia Yucun left, although there are now many Mr. Qingke at home to help out, but it can be counted, they are not sophisticated enough, after all, these Xianggong Qingke, are all in response to poetry and songs, drinking and socializing, and the way of economy is still a little worse, so Xue Pan also had to catch them all by himself, fortunately, there are still some old family members who are loyal and willing to work, so this is a good development.

"What did my brother say, the man's family was originally going to do more errands outside, and it was not good to stay at home with us all day long," Baochai was obviously very considerate of Xue Pan, "Although Mom complained in front of my brother that you are ignorant," she covered her mouth and chuckled, "But I told my sister in private, I said that my brother is really a good boy of the first class, and he supports all the things in the family, and Mom recites Buddha every day, saying that the ancestors blessed the spirits." ”

"What ancestors bless," Xue Pan said with a smile, "I still have to rely on myself, if my mother doesn't blame me, that's the best, after a few days, the matter of the dock is over, and there is nothing important outside, at that time, I will be a master who can do it at every turn, I don't care about any idle chores, I will throw out all the brains and ask the stewards to deal with it, I will have fun for a few years by myself, and accompany you and my mother." ”

Everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as it is on the track, basically there is no need to stare at it all the time, Xue Pan was originally a person who was content and happy, in the past, he presided over the salt introduction affairs in Yangzhou, and he always had half of the salt in the world in his hands, and he missed it casually, he didn't dare to say tens of thousands, at least a few thousand salt citations can be swallowed privately, this is a common practice, even if someone exposes it, no one will think it is a strange thing, but Xue Pan did not do so, and then received 800 salt quotations and transferred 150 to Jia Lian, The rest were also handed over to Jinling Mansion to preside over the scheduling, and they were not contaminated, so they were indeed afraid of trouble.

The Xue family is not short of money now, compared to the extremely depressed Xue family scene described in the Dream of Red Mansions book, Xue Pan speculated, about his own crossing, prevented a Xue family because of the competition for the position of the Xue family and the collapse of the accident, and because of the development and development of the plague avoidance pill, so that the Xue family has a stable income with a very high income, coupled with the old salt in hand, the Xue family is becoming more and more prosperous, no longer the previous father's funeral actually asked the mother to take out the gold and silver utensils at the bottom of the box, since there is no shortage of money, life is good, Xue Pan is also ready to pack up the work in hand, finish it well, and live a good life, isn't there a saying, you must learn to live a good life and enjoy life.

Now it is also a rich and noble family, why do you have to work so hard, Xue Pan is inevitably very lazy, especially now that such a bad thing has happened at the dock, if it weren't for Xue Pan's dislike to give up halfway, I'm afraid he would have given up a long time ago, "Everything here is ready, let's go to Beijing together, go to see the relatives at home, or, you can live in Kyoto for a long time, and always have to accompany your family more." ”

"But brother, is there a big deal about this outside matter?" Baochai is still very worried about Feng Yuan's death, "My sister is young and ignorant, but my mother looks frightened, this matter is ......"

"Don't worry, don't worry," Xue Pan waved his hand, "It's just that someone is trying to blackmail us, speaking of which, it's still a good way for our own relatives," he simply put Feng Yuan and Mr. Heshan, in addition, and the Wang family intervened in the matter, and said simply, "If it weren't for these people plotting with me, I wouldn't have caused a lot of trouble now, your brother boasts that he didn't do anything wrong, but now that he is suspicious, it can't be a little troublesome, but fortunately, I was well prepared, and asked the Feng family's housekeeper to write down the testimony in advance, Let Chen Laosan's wife come out to give evidence, saying that this matter has nothing to do with me, if I can catch Mr. Heshan again, it will be the best witness, and Feng Yuan's death will not depend on me. ”

"In the future, I will have less contact with the Wang family, except for sending some things on necessary festivals, and the rest of the people will come and see each other less."

Xue Baochai saw that Xue Pan was so determined, and he had made a decision, and immediately put his mind at ease, "Brother is doing things, my sister is not worried, last year I took care of my father's funeral affairs properly, and also took back the location of our room, although my sister does not understand very well, but I also know that my brother must have spent a lot of effort, and I want my sister to say, it doesn't matter how much silver is there, my brother has said before, the family is with Meimei, this is the best." ”

"That's right," Xue Pan nodded and smiled, "I don't have to worry about things outside, my sister just takes care of our mother, and there is one more thing, last time my mother and I made it clear that it was for you to learn to be a housekeeper, I think it's not bad, but I'm afraid that you have to study again, and you have to take care of your wife, I'm afraid that you can't be busy, and I have to ask you what you mean?" ”

Baochai's eyes lit up, "What does my brother mean, are you willing to let me learn to be a housekeeper?" ”

"Look at what I said, my brother's meaning doesn't matter, you just like it, depending on what he is, as long as it is what my sister likes to do, my brother has no reason to disagree," and his sister chatted like this, Xue Pan's mood was also slightly relieved, after all, this is like a smile, not something that ordinary people can appreciate from time to time, "If you like to manage and learn some skills, then learn to manage, if you don't like it, then read your book, it doesn't matter, our family doesn't have so many rules." ”

Baochai lowered his head and thought about it, "Su Ri has also learned a lot of things with his mother, if he learns to be a housekeeper, it can be done, and my brother and mother will help me, so it must not be difficult." ”

"That's right," Xue Pan said with a smile, "With my sister to help me, then my brother and I will be much easier in the future." ”

"My brother is telling jokes again, my sister is comparable to my brother."
