[Quick Crossing + Red Mansions] I have a strong desire to survive

Always his own parents, Xue Pei had no choice but to say that Xue Pan's husband went to Beijing Chunwei together with his brother, and he still doesn't know if he can win, so he asked Zhifu Du to introduce a good gentleman for his son.

This was not a difficult task for Prefect Du at all. After returning to Jinling, he wrote a letter to one of his clan brothers who had already retired, pointing out that although Xue Pei lived in the countryside, he was very honored by the Sacred Heart. thing.

In less than half a month, the elder brother of Du Zhifu had come to Xue Pei's village now known as "Tianxin Village" and became Xue Pan's husband.Mr. Du became an official not because he was old, but because of the appointment of officials by the imperial court. There is an unwritten unspoken rule that the son does not suppress the father:

An official is fine if no one in his family is an official. If someone is an official, then everyone will acquiesce that the official position of a son cannot exceed that of a father. Otherwise, it is unfilial to put the son over the father.Mr. Du's son's Jinshi is higher than his in the past, and he is also appreciated by the officials.Seeing that he was about to be at the same level as Mr. Du, in order to make way for his son, he voluntarily resigned to the emperor.

As to why Mr. Du is willing to come to serve as Xue Pan's teacher, Xue Pei is not very knowledgeable. The person on the left and right can share the teaching tasks for him and has some official experience. Happy to let go and let Mr. Du teach Xue Pan.

Within two days, good news came from Beijing again, that Xue Xiang was selected as a Jinshi or Tanhua, which made Xue Pei's jaw drop in shock: others don't know Xue Xiang's level, how can he not know?That's a person who has no confidence in himself and thinks he's going to win the Jinshi by cheating all the way. Now you say he won the Tanhua?

Has the examiner who graded the papers lost his mind? !

Du Zhifu, who congratulated him, told Xue Pei that it was not the examiners who had lost their minds, but the emperor who had lost their minds. Qualifications for the imperial examination.

The palace examination was held in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and the emperor, the biggest examiner, wanted to come in person.It’s just that the examinees need time to answer the questions. The emperor was bored, so he took a closer look at the roster of candidates who had won Chunwei, and saw the name of Jinling Xue Xiang on it, so he asked a question. Dai Quan hurriedly asked for Xue Xiang’s details to be checked. When he came out, the emperor knew that Xue Xiang was Xue Pei's younger brother.

A few days ago, I just praised Xue Pei's upper body Tianxin, and now his younger brother came to the palace for an examination. The emperor didn't know what he was thinking, so he called Xue Xiang up in the hall and asked him: "I heard that the Xue family has been in business for generations. , why don't you follow your ancestral business and start reading instead?"

Xue Xiang was called up by the emperor in public, and everyone was watching him, and she was a little flustered, remembering that her elder brother once said that his study was approved by the emperor, and the emperor will definitely take care of him at that time.

Now he thought that the emperor really looked at him differently as his elder brother said, so he was answering the paper, so he asked himself to ask questions directly.

Strengthening himself and calming down, Xue Xiang kowtowed and said: "Caomin's elder brother once taught Caomin that whether he is studying or doing business, he should serve the saints. Let me keep in mind a sentence, farming and reading will last a long time, and poetry and books will benefit the world. Living in the countryside, I forgot the words of the sages and did not study."

Although Xue Xiang's answer was somewhat wrong, it fit the emperor's mind - he knew the two sentences Xue Xiang said, and he wrote them to Xue Pei.He felt that Xue Pei must be pointing to the couplet to teach his younger brother every day, so Xue Xiang kept these two sentences in his heart.

Xue Pei is really loyal.It's a pity, it's a pity, even if such a person is poisoned and retreats to the top of Zhuangzi, he still wants to serve himself. He always takes his own words to heart, chooses farming, and lets his brother study. With the entire Xue family, he can serve the court from two roads.

"Xue Pei is a man who can teach his brothers." The emperor said something, and glanced at his remaining sons, and said: "Xue Xiang is also a man who listens to his elder brother's teachings. The righteousness of filial piety." Ladies, think about what filial piety is, these two brothers are also from different mothers.The emperor suddenly thought too much.

The fifth prince and others didn't know why the emperor wanted to look at himself and others at this time, but they didn't want to delay them from taking the lead in shouting out the emperor's sage.Then, because Xue Xiang's essay was really not worthy of the title of champion, the examiners discussed and discussed, so they had to order him a Tanhua.

Even if it's just Tanhua, it's Tanhua who walks through the back door in front of everyone, but the one who walks through the back door is the current emperor, which is even more gratifying.When Xue Xiang returned to Jinling with Zhen Shiyin, who was also a Jinshi, Xue Pei had to throw a big banquet to celebrate him.

When Aunt Xue heard that Xue Xiang got Tanhua, she didn't even feel sour. As soon as Xue Xiang came back, she tried her best to organize a celebration banquet for Xue Xiang.But when Xue Xiang brought her back Mrs. Wang's letter, she didn't even have the thought to open it at that time, but her thoughts on arranging a congratulatory banquet became more intense.

You don't need to ask, Madam Wang heard that Xue Pei got the upper body Tianxin plaque written by the emperor, and also knew that her brother-in-law was hit by Tanhua, so she wanted to repair the relationship with her.

But she doesn't want to repair the relationship.Not to mention Mrs. Wang's attitude towards her after her husband's accident.Just talking about the things Qi Langzhong found for her is enough for my aunt to hate Mrs. Wang to the bone.

Now Aunt Xue already knew that her generous dowry was paid for by the Xue family. As her eldest sister, Mrs. Wang should have known about it earlier than her.However, Mrs. Wang still harbored resentment towards her because of the dowry. She did something to her own sister, or to the woman's heir who had a firm foothold in her husband's family. She never thought that if her sister could not give birth to a child However, Aunt Xue would never forgive her for staying in Xue's house.

Aunt Xue didn't even read the letter at the end, so Tong Xi burned it. After hearing it, Xue Pei was very satisfied. On the night before sending Xue Xiang to work in Beijing, he also called Aunt Xue together to discuss with Xue Xiang. Husband and wife live together.

Yes, now Xue Pei is going to separate from Xue Xiang. Even if Xue Xiang brings his wife and children together and cannot afford to kneel, Xue Pei still refuses to take back his words.He told Xue Xiang that he would stay in Zhuangzi for the rest of his life and would not go to Beijing, so Xue Xiang could only rely on himself after entering Beijing.

Even if he wants to work hard on his own, then Xue Xiang has to have autonomy, and he can't write a letter to ask himself, his elder brother, to make a decision on everything.It is important to know that things in the officialdom are changing rapidly, and the capital is far away from Jinling, so we should not miss Xue Xiang's affairs just to please him.

The Xue Xiang and his wife who said this were crying bitterly, feeling that his brother had considered them too thoughtfully, but he hadn't considered himself.Xue Xiang secretly decided that even if his elder brother never went to the capital all his life, he would treat his nephew as if he were his own child after he came to Beijing in the future.

After finally persuading Xue Xiang and his wife to get up and sit down with Xue Biao, Xue Pei took out a land deed and bank notes and handed them to Xue Xiang: "We had a total of 620 million taels of silver in our house that day, and you should get 62% according to the regulations. , here is 21 taels. There are also [-] Zhuangzi, because you want to work in Beijing, I will give you the two Zhuangzi from Jingxiao."

"The house you live in now also belongs to your name, and the two shops also belong to you. You don't have to worry about it, Xue Cheng will still send it to you. When Xue Cheng sends you to Beijing, let him follow you Go and change the red deed." After speaking, Xue Pei let out a sigh of relief, and finally changed the lintel again in this life.This emperor has been sitting on the dragon chair for a few years, and he will always trust the Xue family, and the next emperor will not be afraid of the Xue family.

At least while he was alive, the Xue family was safe.

Xue Xiang refused to ask for those things life and death: "Brother also said, this is something that the mansion can have. But the mansion was robbed twice, and there is no money left. I am afraid that this money is all my brother's savings .If I take them all, who will I be?"

Aunt Xue looked at the large stack of bank notes and land deeds, her eyes were hot, but she pursed her lips sensibly.It wasn't until Xue Xiang refused that she quietly let go of her concern and looked at Xue Pei eagerly.

Xue Pei knew that Xue Xiang didn't want it, but he had his own way of persuading him: "If I don't have one, you won't be able to get it out even if you force me with a knife. I'm giving you money to tell you that Xue's family has no shortage of money. The money is gone, after you become an official, just obey the law and obey the law, don't take bribes like others, and set an example for the two good students, Pan'er and Tiao'er."

Xue Xiang still wanted to decline, so Xue Pei winked at his silly son, Xue Pan stood up and said to Xue Xiang: "Second uncle, keep it. Our family is now buying land every year, if it is all in the hands of father It also makes people think about it, it might as well be distributed to the second uncle, so that there will be a setback in the future."

Xue Xiang felt that this made sense, and even Aunt Xue was frightened by the two recruiting thieves, thinking that Xue Pei's separation of the family was exactly what her son meant, and she no longer felt sorry for those bank notes and land deeds.Xue Pei nodded to his silly son in satisfaction, and said:

"Pan'er is right. But you don't have to be reluctant to spend that money, let alone think about using it to earn interest. Especially don't listen to others saying that you can get money quickly by putting money away, and then do the business of cutting off children and grandchildren."

When he said the last sentence, he was looking at Xiao Feng, and Xiao Feng stood up and received the training, saying that he would definitely persuade Xue Xiang well.Only then did Xue Pei nod in satisfaction, and confessed to Xue Xiang that he could make decisions about other matters, but he still had to discuss with him about the marriage of the two children in the future, even if they met each other, they could not marry into a noble family.

Xue Xiang knew that her elder brother was frightened by the previous incident of Mei Juren, so she talked about how Mei Juren found her after she came to Beijing, why she still wanted to be married to her family, and did not communicate after she was clearly rejected by herself. Brother understands.

After Xue Pei let go of another worry, he first sent Zhen Shiyin to work in Ningyuan County, Shanxi, and then sent Xue Xiang to Beijing, and asked people to connect Xue Xiang's courtyard with Tianxin courtyard, and clean up a courtyard for Baochai's residence. She packs it up herself.Mr. Du lived in Zhen Shiyin's courtyard, and Xue Pan followed him to study in the courtyard every day.

With Xue Xiang in the middle of the capital, the news is more informed than the guys in the two shops:

Not long after Xue Xiang entered Beijing, the person on the throne changed. This time, the "filial" third prince finally sat on the dragon chair, but the drama of Lin Daiyu abandoning her father and entering the capital did not take place. Instead, Lin Ruhai won the new emperor somehow Thanks to his appreciation, he was transferred back to Beijing.

According to Xue Xiang's letter, after Lin Ruhai entered Beijing, he had almost no contact with Rongguo Mansion, and there were rumors in Beijing that the head wife of Rongguo Mansion plotted to marry his sister-in-law.Because Lin Ruhai stayed away from the Rongguo Mansion, everyone felt that the rumors were true.However, Jia Min and Lin Daiyu's bodies looked quite good, which made some people feel that the rumors should not be fully believed.

The Rongguo Mansion may also want to eliminate the influence of rumors. The old lady in the mansion sends someone to deliver things to the Lin family every day, and everyone knows that she has delivered things.Soon Lin Ruhai took his wife back to Rongguo Mansion, and then the two mansions stopped communicating.

When Xue Xiang wrote to say that Zhen Shiyin was transferred back to the Ministry of Rites, Xue Pan was packing up and preparing to go to Beijing to Yingchunwei.After hearing the news, he knelt down in front of Xue Pei and couldn't get up. Xue Pei kicked him angrily: "If you don't win, or you only win the same Jinshi, I will write ten letters to your husband." , people will not agree to marry their daughter to you."

Xue Pan stood up with a smirk on the strength of this kick, and assured Xue Pei: "Father, don't worry, although you may not be a candidate for Tanhua, you can still think about being a Jinshi."

After being scolded by Xue Pei for being useless, Xue Pan went to Beijing to rush for the exam in high spirits, and then the new emperor went crazy like the Supreme Emperor, and even before the palace exam papers were approved, he said that Xue Pan was like a father .

Who is Xue Pan's father? He is Xue Dashan who donates money and materials with all his strength every time there is a natural disaster.

The imperial examination for the country’s selection of scholars is precisely to select such people with both political integrity and ability. When several examiners combined, Xue Pan’s papers were listed in the top ten——Xue Pan’s study time was longer than Xue Xiang’s, and Mr. Du is the real deal He was born as a Jinshi, and he has been an official for many years, so Xue Panchunwei won the No. 20 seven.

Now, according to the sage's will, go up to the top, even the censor will not say anything.So the Xue family got the reputation of uncle and nephew and Tanhua, and Xue Xiang took his nephew back to his hometown to worship the ancestors.

When they returned to Beijing, Xue Pei gave Zhen Shiyin a letter to express his intention to propose marriage on behalf of his son.Zhen Shiyin read the letter from Xue Xiang, and said with a smile: "My Yinglian is already 15 years old, if Brother Xue doesn't write again, I will have the girl's family chase the boy's family."

Since then, Xue Pan's marriage has been arranged, and Baochai's marriage has also been included in the agenda.

Speaking of which family in Jinling City doesn't want to marry the Xue family now, it's just that Xue Pei has a lot of demands, and everyone thinks that he wants to marry his daughter into a high school in Beijing.Now that the Xue family is looking for a son-in-law again, someone has sent a matchmaker to find out.

Aunt Xue wanted to let her daughter marry into Beijing, and she would take care of Xue Pan in the future.Xue Pei said that as long as a girl can live on her own, she can live a good life no matter where she lives.Those who wanted to rely on their natal family were either lacking confidence or lacking ability, saying that Aunt Xue no longer cared about Baochai's marriage.

In the end, Baochai chose the eldest grandson of Xue Pan's second husband, who was also a Jinshi of the same discipline as Xue Pan, so she married Aunt Xue's mind and went to Beijing to live with Xue Pan's brother and sister, which is also a dumbfounding thing.

In the second year of Zhi Baochai's marriage, Aunt Xue received another letter from Mrs. Wang.This time Aunt Xue didn't burn it, but opened it and read it. Mrs. Wang complained in the letter that her nephew and niece were not close to her, and she hadn't visited her house since she came to Beijing, which really chilled her heart as an aunt. .

He also said that there are only two sisters left in the Wang family, and they should support each other, and they can't be far away to make people laugh.

Aunt Xue only wrote back a few words: people are doing it, and the sky is watching.

This time Liu Li was pulled away by the shuttle again, and her mood was even calmer: Although it was a bit difficult in the early stage of being Xue Pei's first life, after nearly 20 years of peaceful life, she also collected a lot of materials, which can be used as a bond with others. Negotiating capital.

So the scene that annoyed Donald took place. The food that Liu Li brought back this time was less than half of what he had brought back last time, and the variety was so single that there was only one kind of rice.

"Ms. Liu," Donald yelled at Liu Li angrily, "Your mission has been done so badly, the base can't provide you with the supplies to go to the parallel world next time." After all, he dared not say that Liu Li would not be allowed to use the shuttle anymore.

Liu Li just looked at him so coldly: "Mr. Donald, after the last mission was over, I reminded you that I will also be tired, and I should get rest to complete the mission better. But you don't give me rest Time, I almost died in the mission. Regardless of whether the base provides me with supplies, I will not perform the next mission."

Liu Li had seen the guide winking at her just now, and understood that during the time she entered the world of Red Mansions, the other people sent by the base had failed again, and now is a good time for her to raise conditions.

Having been used to Liu Li's obedience, the complexions of the several people in charge were very ugly.But Liu Li was the only person who could bring back the supplies so far. They had to compromise with Liu Li and agreed that she would rest at the base for three days before making a new journey.

When she came to the dormitory that the base had rearranged for her, Liu Li immediately entered her own space, and only after sorting out the things in front of her did she leave the space.Outside the door, someone was already knocking gently on the door.

When I opened the door, it was the guide. Of course Liu Li wanted to invite him in.

The guide seemed not afraid that someone would see him enter Liu Li's dormitory, and briefly introduced the situation in the base to Liu Li: the zombie activities are now at a low ebb, but sporadic battles show that some zombies have also evolved, some Wisdom also arises.

In order to prevent more zombies from generating wisdom, the base had to send more action groups to stop the zombies.Therefore, the repair fluid and nutrient fluid in the base can only be used by combatants as much as possible, and internal personnel rely more on ordinary food.This is also the reason why Donald got angry when he saw that Liu Li brought back too little supplies.

Hearing that the zombies had already developed wisdom, Liu Li's heart tightened, "Are there any new zombies appearing now?" If there were still a steady stream of zombies appearing, that would not be a good thing.

The guide shook his head: "No, the reason why we suspect that the zombies have developed intelligence is that they began to attack the base consciously, instead of wandering around blindly as before, attacking when they encounter the base."

"All the zombies must be eliminated as soon as possible." Liu Li was relieved to hear that there were no new zombies, and felt that as long as all the bases cooperate to eliminate the existing zombies, future troubles can be eliminated forever.

But the guide told him that if all the bases were not attacked by zombies, they would not want to consume their own vitality and supplies.Even in their own base, the action team they sent out was only active within [-] kilometers outside their own base, as long as they could ensure that the base would not be attacked by zombies.

Liu Li asked keenly: "In other words, there is actually a buffer zone between the base and the zombies?"

The guide nodded, and looked at Liu Li puzzled, wondering why she would ask such a question, but Liu Li showed a sly smile, and asked the guide straightforwardly: "As a guide, what are you doing here?" The base doesn't get enough respect, right?"

Although the guide didn't know why Liu Li asked this, but what she said was the truth, so he nodded.Liu Li smiled at the guide: "Then what if we build a new base together and you are the person in charge of the base?"

This proposal moved the leader's heart, but there is an operational problem: "Now the relatively safe places have been occupied by the bases. According to the agreement of the bases, everyone can't attack each other, and can only join forces to deal with zombies."

Liu Li also thought of this point: "But now there is a buffer zone between the zombies and the base. It is very likely that there are a lot of blank areas where the zombies pass by."

It's not a possibility, but a certainty—the zombies have just evolved wisdom, and they used to wander blindly. They didn't have the consciousness to establish a base, and they attacked wherever they went, leaving a lot of blank areas.

However, those blank areas are often too far away, and supplies are difficult to supply, so the guide thought about it for a while, and then shook his head: "To build a base, in addition to the safe area, you also need to have supernatural beings. The supernatural beings that have been discovered, almost They have all been scooped up by the bases."

Liu Li also thought of this point: "Although it's hard to find people with supernatural abilities, they can still be found if you put your heart into it. After all, some people don't want to be restricted by the base and choose to act independently."

"They don't want to be bound by the current base, and they certainly won't want to be bound by the new base."

"No, it's not that some people don't want to be restrained at all, but because the distribution of rights in the current base has been completed, those people who join the base can only listen to other people's orders, and they want to order others in their hearts." Liu Li smiled contemptuously, No matter what time it is, there are always some people with too much power.

"Don't you want the command of the new base to be handed over to those people?" The guide himself is an ambitious person, otherwise he wouldn't have actively guided someone like Liu Li who might awaken his abilities into the base.

Liu Li saw what he was thinking and gave him a reassurance: "Don't forget, we have supplies in our hands. No matter who has the command of the base, we still have to rely on supplies."

The guide's eyes lit up: "Okay, I understand how to do it. After you come back from completing the mission next time, I will try to bring as many people with supernatural powers to see you."

Liu Li smiled lightly: "Look, at any time, the economic base can determine the superstructure. It seems that she will work harder to collect supplies for the next mission."
