Whose Evil in the Red Chamber

As a family of merchants, the Xue family was able to rank among the four major families in Jinling, which shows its extraordinary. However, the Zhen family has always had a high self-esteem, and although they have contacts with the Xue family, they have never been very close.But the Zhen family and the Jia family are family friends of the ancestors, and they have old relatives, who are very close. After one of the two daughters of the Wang family married into the Jia family and the other married into the Xue family, the Xue and Jia families became in-laws. , Borrowing the wind from Jia's family, the contacts between Xue's family and Zhen's family became more frequent.

Originally, I only heard that the Xue family was dismissed by the emperor from their errand as a comprador of medicinal materials. Later, they regained their errands as an imperial merchant after going through the door of King Zhongan. At the banquet at the Xue family's house, Jing Xuan knew that the Zhen family was probably the one connecting the Xue family and King Zhong'an.

Now that the Zhen family has set up such a welcome banquet, most likely they want to be peacemakers and resolve the old grievances between the Xue family and him and Wang Qi. As for Huan Yi, the other party made that gesture last time, The purpose of wooing is already very obvious, but it's a pity that Sun Hao's stupid things messed up the situation. This time Huan Yi appeared in Zhen's house again, it seems that he still hasn't given up.

What Jing Xuan expected was not bad at all. The Zhen family was the one who recommended the Xue family to King Zhongan. At that time, Xue Mingyi paid 1 taels of silver to the Zhen family to express his gratitude. He is still a giant, but the actual situation inside is not as good as before, so he happily accepts this generous gift from the Xue family, and the relationship with the Xue family is much closer.

Later, after the matter of picking up the driver was implemented, the Xue family lent 5 taels of silver to the Zhen family, who was struggling with money and cash flow, which was a solution to the urgent need of the Zhen family. The Zhen family made a big promise. One is to help the Xue family resolve their old grievances with Marquis Xing'an and Young Master Lin, and the other is to find an opportunity to speak well for the Xue family in front of the emperor.

The Zhen family also understands that in terms of power, the Zhen family today is not as good as it was back then, but it is still selected as the palace to take over. .Xue's family, as a family who had been named Ziwei Sheren, can also be regarded as veteran officials, and Zhen's family also has something to say in front of the emperor.

Now the Zhen family, Xue family and Prince Zhong'an's Mansion are in the same boat, if the Xue family can go further, it will also benefit the Zhen family, that's why the Zhen family contributed so much to facilitate this matter.

During the dinner, the uncle of the Zhen family and his nephew were very affectionate towards Jingxuan and Wang Qi, and Huan Yi handled his posture just right, without losing his status as the son of the prince's family, but also appeared extremely approachable, chatting and laughing happily, He coaxed Liu Boshao and the others, who were still somewhat cautious at first, to dispel some grievances.

This is especially true for Xue Mingyi. He is the generation of Jing Xuan and Wang Qi, but he did not take the airs of his elders at the banquet. My heart, I did something wrong to the young master. Although I made some money, I have no conscience. I also regret it in my heart. The Holy One is wise, punishing me this time is also my retribution. I feel much more at ease in my heart, but I can't apologize in person, I can't let go of it after all. Now that I have this opportunity, it's God who has eyes, and I still invite the little lord Haihan."

After saying these words, Xue Mingyi can be regarded as humbled to the extreme. Wang Qi felt uncomfortable, seeing that Xue Mingyi, who is an elder, behaved like this, he could only turn hostility into friendship, and quickly laughed: "Uncle Xue must not be like this, how old is he?" Things, my nephew has long forgotten."

The smile on Xue Mingyi's face was even worse when he heard this, and Uncle Zhen also smiled and said: "Now we are all our own family members. What happened in the past can be regarded as flooding the Dragon King Temple. Since we are a family, we naturally have nothing to say, but old Xue You can't take advantage of the child, an empty-mouthed apology is not authentic."

Xue Mingyi hurriedly said: "Naturally, Brother Zhen, don't worry, I can't take advantage of the child with my old face."

Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere at the banquet became more and more harmonious. Jing Xuan looked at him coldly, with a faint smile on his face. These old foxes really showed their poses.Since the Zhen family sent him a post, no matter what the purpose was, he also received this kindness. If the Xue family was obedient enough, even though he held grudges, he wouldn't be able to hold on to the Xue family.Still, it's better to hang out with a bunch of old foxes than with a bunch of idiots, isn't it?Therefore, although Jing Xuan didn't show much enthusiasm, he didn't pour cold water either.

In fact, Uncle Zhen was a little bit dissatisfied in comparison. He felt that the young master of the Lin family was a bit too airy. He was just a son of a concubine.However, Uncle Zhen also knows that the Lin family has always regarded itself as a scholarly family, and they are very lofty. This Lin Jingxuan is still a child, and some children's tempers are reasonable, and he doesn't need to be angry with a child, so he didn't reveal it. In the slightest, this banquet can be regarded as a feast for the guests and hosts.

After the banquet, everyone went back to their rooms, and Wang Qi said to Jingxuan, "It's really troublesome. If I knew it earlier, I might as well not come to join in the excitement of picking up the car!"

Wang Qi was born as a commoner, and he had only read the anecdotes of the emperor's southern tour in the story books. He was very curious, so he came here excitedly when the Zhen family sent an invitation. Being involved with King Zhong'an, Wang Qi felt very unhappy in his heart.

"This old fox from the Xue family is flexible. Don't underestimate him. Since he has shown such sincerity, we will accept his sincerity. It may be of great use in the future. As for the Huan translator, let's not worry about it for now. If he can find the Xu family, then not only the Sun family, but also King Zhongan will not be able to get any benefits, and if Huan Yi is still as polite as today, I will treat him as someone." Jing Xuan smiled, Comforted Wang Qi who was a little fuzzy.

Wang Qi now looks much smoother on the outside, and understands the rules of the game as a young master, but on the inside, he is still the same loyal academy boy who was dedicated to his friend, and the Sun family has repeatedly searched for Jingxuan. , and made the Russian style of disregarding human life, Wang Qi has long been disgusted with the Sun family, and Huan Yi is not only related to the Sun family, but Jing Xuan also had an accident on his boat, so no matter how good Huan Yi's posture is Not enough, Wang Qi didn't appreciate it either.As for the Xue family who once fell into trouble, let alone.

It is rare for a friend like Wang Qi to be a human being in two lifetimes, and now in Jing Xuan's heart, he has already regarded Wang Qi as his own younger brother.

On the second day, the Xue family sent someone to invite Jing Xuan and others to the Xue residence. Liu Boxhao and others knew that the Xue family was mainly for Jing Xuan and Wang Qi, and they didn't want to have too close contacts with the Xue family, so They all declined, and only Jingxuan and Wang Qi went to Xue's house. Although Wang Qi was reluctant in his heart, Master Xue made enough gestures at the banquet yesterday. If he didn't go, he would inevitably be criticized. Something happened.

Just arrived at the door of Xue's house, Xue Mingyi had already personally greeted him at the door, and his fat face couldn't stop smiling. Although this Xue's house was a merchant's house, the house of Xue's house was very elegant. From the layout of the courtyard to the interior furnishings, there is no craftsmanship at all, which shows the depth of the Xue family's heritage.

When he arrived at Xue Mingyi's study room, he even showed his "sincerity" that he said yesterday, and personally took out a deed of a western shop in Gusu City and handed it to Wang Qi.

"In the early years, I also set up some shops in Gusu. Later, it was too late to close many shops. Only this one was left. Because the shopkeeper was from Gusu, and he was honest and capable, I kept this shop. Now I am an old shopkeeper. I'm already old, and I plan to go home to raise it. It's a pity that there is no one to take care of this shop. It's a coincidence. I heard that the young master intends to do business in this line of business, so I thought it would be better to give this shop to the young man. Lord Hou, Quan should pay me for what I did before, and I hope little Lord Hou will not refuse." Xue Mingyi pleaded.

Wang Qi glanced at Jingxuan, saw that he was smiling and did not object, so he took over the deed. When he saw that it was the famous Jibaoxuan in Gusu City, he couldn't help being stunned. Unexpectedly, this was one of the best western shops in Gusu City. The famous Jibaoxuan turned out to be the property of the Xue family in Jinling.He also didn't expect that he had just started thinking about opening a shop, had just gone to the harbor for some activities, and hadn't reached the point of finding a shop or hiring a shopkeeper, the Xue family far away in Jinling had already gotten wind of it. Sure enough, as Jing Xuan said, there are really countless eyes staring at me now, all of these people are probably clairvoyant and clairvoyant!

Seeing that Wang Qi accepted and gave up, Xue Mingyi was really relieved in his heart. He is a businessman. Confidently, he took someone's hand short, and now that Wang Qi has accepted the things, it seems that the grievances between them have really been wiped out.

Then Xue Mingyi smiled at Jingxuan and said, "My lord, I have an unfeeling request. When my mother was alive, my mother loved to listen to operas, so I specially bought some young girls to teach at home." It is more convenient to rehearse in the inner house. Later, after my mother died, I was a rough person, impatient with this, and my wife didn't like it very much, so this class was left idle, because my mother had ordered before she left, called We treat these girls well, so I arranged them according to the routine of maids, but I was always a little unhappy. I heard that the eldest son's Lichun class is now the first one in Jiangnan, not only this Liyuan kung fu Well, I wondered if I could ask for favors in front of the Eldest Young Master and arrange a home for these girls, I wonder if the Eldest Young Master can help me with this?"

Xue Mingyi's words were meandering, obviously he was going to send Jing Xuan a few talented actors, but he said it as if he wanted Jing Xuan to do him a huge favor.Different from the bluntness to Wang Qi, Xue Mingyi's heart is as clear as a mirror. Although Wang Qi is the title of Lord Marquis, Lin Jingxuan is just the son of the Lin family, but the source of his family's unlucky before is bullying Wang Qi in name, and I'm afraid it's King Zhongping in the inside. , and even vented his anger on Lin Jingxuan today.

The identities of Lin Ruhai and the Lin family are not so affectionate, but none of them know that Lin Jingxuan's biological mother is Princess Hengyang who had a close relationship with the Son of Heaven and King Zhongping back then.If it is true about blood relationship, counting from the biological mother, the current emperor is Lin Jingxuan's cousin!

The Zhen family and the others didn't take this young master of the Lin family seriously because they felt that since the current emperor flaunts the rule of benevolence and filial piety, it must be impossible for him to interfere with courtiers favoring concubines and destroying wives, helping concubines and suppressing his sons. Xue Mingyi didn't take it seriously, maybe he didn't have it on the surface, but the benefits he could give secretly were not enough for outsiders to understand.

Xue Mingyi has a clean mind in his heart, so he is not careless towards Lin Jingxuan, and his attitude is extremely low. The biggest thing in the world is the emperor. Even though he is now appreciated by King Zhong'an, if he can go further to win the favor of the emperor, how can he? Didn't he get the most stable backing?So Xue Mingyi made up his mind to win over Jing Xuan at all costs.

Sure enough, Jing Xuan couldn't help but have a higher opinion of Xue Mingyi in his heart. No wonder the Xue family, as a family of merchants, can become one of the four major families in Jinling. For Xue Mingyi's ability to understand people's hearts, he is really a naughty Very old fox!

Xue Mingyi made this step, Jing Xuan naturally accepted his overture, and for the first time a smile appeared on his face, Xue Mingyi saw that yesterday's estranged fake smile finally faded from his face, he couldn't help letting out a long breath in his heart.

At this moment, he heard a burst of chaos outside the study. Xue Mingyi frowned, and went out of the study. Just as he was about to reprimand his servants, he saw that the respected old master who he had spent a lot of effort to invite for his son was looking angry. They came towards the study, and a group of boys tried their best to stop them, and then there was a commotion.

Seeing this scene, Xue Mingyi's face turned completely dark.

The author has something to say: Although the old fox is smart, he can't help his own stupid son. In the next chapter, Xue Xiaochong will appear dumb, and he is planning to match Xiaodai with a daughter-in-law who is a hundred times stronger than Wang Xifeng and will eat him to death!There are already two pairs of CPs in this article, so it’s better not to disturb the whole people~
