Take the farm down to earth

Chapter 88: Thunder Talisman Jade Pendant
Seeing Xue Baochai's eager expression, Xue Pan chuckled, and the ashamed Baochai blushed immediately, turned her head to look aside and ignored Xue Pan.

Xue Pan hurriedly told about Shi Zhongkui's so-called twins.

Aunt Xue patted her thigh, and said with surprise, "This method is good, this method is good."

Xue Baochai thinks about it, although there are still loopholes, but Xue Pan wants to appear in front of the world in a fair manner in the future, one is to prove that Feng Yuan's death has nothing to do with Xue Pan, and two, it seems that this is the only way to emergency.

However, this method will inevitably put Jia Yucun, the judge, at a disadvantage.

In this way, we have to get rid of Jia Yucun,

It is best for him to be dismissed from office, and there will be no official resistance when Xue Pan's case is overturned.

Thinking of this, Baochai couldn't help but feel gratitude and love for Shi Zhongkui.

Seeing that his resourceful younger sister was silent, Xue Pan knew that she also agreed with Shi Zhongkui's plan.

The two people who both admire and care about Xue Pan agree that Xue Pan has no scruples in doing things.

Then he told the story of Jia Yucun's main wife who died of illness and Fu Zheng's concubine from where he knew from his servants.

Hearing that Shi Zhongkui asked Xue Pan to investigate secretly, if there is any news, report first before making a decision, Aunt Xue, mother and daughter are immediately relieved.

Compared with Shi Zhongkui, who has proved several times that he has no plans to spare, the mother and daughter are really worried about Xue Pan.

"Brother, why don't you go back to Jinling secretly, after all, this matter is too important, and my younger sister is worried about the servants at home."

Aunt Xue didn't feel sorry for Xue Pan's hard work this time, so she nodded and said, "Pan'er, your sister is right, and mother is worried that if someone in the family is bought by Jia Yucun, it will be troublesome."

Xue Pan, who was still reluctant to go, immediately became nervous when he heard this.

"Then how about I work harder, ride a fast horse and follow the 400-mile urgent messenger, and I will be able to arrive in Jinling on the 5th or 7th."

"That won't work, my brother can't stand that tired one," Xue Baochai hurriedly shook his head, "If you get sick when you arrive, it will be a bad thing.

And taking a fast boat to walk the canal, non-stop for 5 or 6 hours, is not much slower than a 400-mile fast horse. "

It takes 10 to 12 hours to take the Clippers, and it is still possible to travel 300 miles a day.

The only trouble is that in mid-October at this time, it is very likely that there will be a fleet of autumn grain transporters from the south to the north, and there may be congestion on the canal.

But this is also much safer and more secure than a fast horse.

Xue Pan didn't think too much about it. He heard from his sister that he could walk 300 miles a day, which would only take two or three days longer. He immediately wanted to take a boat without suffering.

After agreeing, he slapped his forehead, smiled and brought two boxes containing golden melon seeds to the table and opened them.

Baochai's mother and daughter were just like Xue Pan before, their eyes were squinted by the golden light.

"Sister, this box is given by Boqian as a reward for your servants."

Aunt Xue's expression suddenly became weird, and the shy Baochai moved her position directly, turned her back to the two of them without speaking, and her ears gradually turned red.

Aunt Xue laughed, and then asked Xue Pan, "Where is this box?"

Xue Pan said proudly, "I saw that the golden melon seeds that Boqian used when rewarding his servants yesterday were very well-crafted, so I asked him casually, and he said he would give my sister and me a thousand daily expenses each.

And after using it, let someone tell him, and he will send another copy. "

Aunt Xue is overjoyed, she has both a son and a daughter. Doesn't that mean that the son-in-law treats his future uncle as well as his future wife?

And this also proved that Shi Zhongkui did have a lot of family background.

Otherwise, even the Rongguo Mansion would not casually make thousands of golden melon seeds worth a penny to reward servants.

Copper coins are of course the most used ones, and silver melon seeds and silver trees are only rewarded during festivals.

Even ordinary families rarely see gold for several years or more than ten years, and more of them are broken silver and silver ingots.

However, Aunt Xue still asked cautiously, "Pan'er, so the son-in-law's family is really rich?"

Xue Pan said carelessly, "If mother asks someone else, it must be that the Shi family has swollen their faces to pretend to be fat. In Boqian's study, apart from the lake brush, Hui ink, rice paper, and Duan inkstone I gave last year, even the chairs are ordinary. thing.

But if you look at Boqian's attitude towards Hui ink and rice paper without heartache at all and using it casually, he is not a person with rich family resources, how dare he use it, and how can he afford it. "

"Besides, he is more particular than the lady in his boudoir. He takes a bath every day and changes his clothes every day. The annual firewood money and clothes alone do a lot of damage."

I advised him to be careful of the wind and cold, but he said that I didn't understand the benefits of it, but after that, he would ask people to put a few stoves in the house before taking a bath.

The water he drank was only freshly boiled, and if it boiled on the stove for half an hour longer, he would not drink it, and had someone pour it out.

It is said that drinking this kind of water is not good for the body.

There are also things to eat, which are meat, eggs, and fresh fruits and vegetables, which are finer than what I eat.

However, he doesn't like drinking very much.So that every time I eat with him, I don't even have to drink wine. "

Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai glanced at each other with surprise expressions in their hearts.

It is a good thing for a wealthy family to like cleanliness, and it is even better for a daughter's family.

It's just water, firewood and manpower.

As for daily fresh melons, fruits and green vegetables, once winter and early spring come, it will cost money.

But thinking about the money that Shi Zhongkui puts in Baochai every month, even if it is ten times more expensive, it doesn't seem to be a big deal.

Aunt Xue chanted "Ancestor Blessing" again, while Baochai put all her heart on Shi Zhongkui.

Afterwards, the whole family began to discuss the details of Xue Pan's trip to the south, and finally Xue Pan followed the advice of the mother and daughter and went to Shi Zhongkui to discuss it again.

Then in the name of going out to do business, he secretly went south to find Xue Biao.

On the contrary, Shi Zhongkui would not avoid Xue Pan's accident, and his marriage with Xue Baochai would have to be postponed for three to five years. After thinking about it, he still let Jinmaoshu follow.

Anyway, the Anle County King was grounded, and the whole of the County King's Mansion was almost cleaned up by the emperor.

The remnants of the former prince and Bailian's people in Gyeonggi were also killed by the embroidered guards because of the information secretly provided by the golden mouse, and they fled.

It should not be able to gather in a short time.

And beside him, there is a 24-hour protection of the wandering gods day and night, and he can be regarded as successful in cultivation, with bows, arrows, big guns, and boxing skills, even ten or eight elites in the army can't get close to him.

His own safety is guaranteed, but Xue Pan is likely to become the target of others.

Even, he was not at ease, and called Liu Yuer, the carp spirit who had been cultivating in Kunming Lake, to protect Xue Pan's fast boat along the way, lest the boat capsize and cause accidents.

On the wharf of the Tongzhou Canal, Shi Zhongkui, who secretly sent Xue Pan to him, solemnly handed him a jade pendant and said, "I have already explained to you the other matters.

But this thing is a secret treasure handed down from brother's ancestors, and it has the effect of driving away thunder and evil spirits.Even if you take a bath during this trip, you have to stay on your body, and return it to me after you return to Beijing. "
