Chapter 48: Greed
"Where did you come from, wild mongrel, grandpa is talking here, what's in the way of your mother, you little bastard is talking too much here?"
Xue Pan was originally a bastard, the previous Ye Hao, who was the person of the Taishi Mansion and the Queen Mother, he could still have a little respect, but to others, he didn't know what etiquette was.
A few words made Jia Baoyu's displeasure disappear, and at the same time, it also made the person who spoke before instantly look like a black cauldron and looked at Xue Pan gloomily. Several servants next to him saw that their master was humiliated, and they were even more impatient, as if they were about to rush up and fight at the first order.
It's just that Xue Pan still tilted his head, staring at each other with disdain, his eyes provocative. Jia Baoyu felt that if this thing wasn't on his side now, he would have an urge to beat him.
"I don't know how to count things......
The other party's complexion changed for a long time, but he only scolded Xue Pan in return.
Xue Pan immediately replied: "Your grandfather just doesn't know how to be polite, how are you doing?" ”
Taking advantage of Xue Pan and the other party scolding, Jia Baoyu lowered his head and asked Jia Lian who the other party was. Jia Lian said: "He is a member of the Wu family, his name is Wu Fan, and his sister is Concubine Wu in the palace......"
Concubine Wu, Jia Baoyu vaguely remembers that she seems to be a very favored concubine in the emperor's harem. Since he is Concubine Wu's younger brother, is he at odds with the queen, so he was embarrassed with Ye Hao just now? It's not right, listening to the meaning of what he said just now, he admires the second prince very much, just like a dog's leg. The second prince is the heir of the queen.
"What is the Wu family's family background?"
"Family history?" Jia Lian sneered and said, "His father is just a fourth-grade military general, but he is born with mud legs!" He dared to talk to us like that, but it was only his sister's power. ”
Jia Baoyu touched his nose and deeply felt the arrogance in Jia Lian's heart, the four-grade official eunuch family was only born with mud legs in his mouth.
On the other side, Xue Pan and Wu Fan had already moved their livers, and they couldn't help but make a move, Jia Baoyu hurriedly leaned into Xue Pan's ear and said, "Let him fight, don't fight back!" ”
"Huh?"
Xue Pan looked back at Jia Baoyu, very puzzled. Brother Bao, I'm helping you get angry, don't you beat his mother with me, and tell me not to fight back and wait to be beaten? There are no such brothers, right?
Jia Baoyu gave him a "believe me" expression.
Although he hasn't entered Xiyuan yet, it is also the place where the Ministry of Rites collects and records birthday gifts for the Emperor, and he beats people here, and a charge of disrespecting the Emperor is enough for the Wu family to eat a pot.
If you lose or destroy a few birthday gifts because of this, you will ruin today's banquet...... Thinking about Wu Fan's father's expression after he found out, Jia Baoyu felt that it must be very interesting.
Wu Fan had already forced over, only three steps away from Xue Pan, looking at the angry look on his face, Jia Baoyu had no doubt that he was going to rush towards Xue Pan in the next second.
"Enough!"
At the critical moment, Lang Zhong, surnamed Zhao from the front of the Ministry of Rites, stood up with a slap on the board, and glared at several people: "Emperor Taishang's birthday banquet, do you dare to be wild here?" Where is the forbidden army?! ”
In the distance, the captain of the forbidden army had already discovered the commotion here and rushed over with a team of sergeants.
Jia Baoyu sighed regretfully, but without hesitation, he stepped forward to ask for sin: "My lord, forgive us, we didn't mean to sabotage the birthday banquet of the emperor, it's just that this person is too uneducated, and he has repeatedly spoken out to provoke us." If we are rude, please bear with us. ”
Zhao Langzhong saw that Jia Baoyusheng's literary quality was polite, his words and deeds were reasonable, and he didn't see him behave out of line, so he couldn't reprimand him, turned his head and glared at Wu Fan angrily: "If Gongzi Wu didn't come to congratulate Taishang on his birthday today, but came to seek personal revenge, please leave, so as not to affect Ling Zun and cause Concubine Wu's face to be damaged, hum!" ”
Wu Fan was reprimanded in person, his face was red, and he didn't dare to contradict it, because the sergeant of the forbidden army who was wearing gold armor and was holding the strong guard next to him was eyeing him. He was afraid that if he didn't say yes, he would be dragged away by these Qiu Ba who didn't know how to be polite.
Glancing at Jia Baoyu viciously, Wu Fan retreated silently.
Zhao Langzhong turned his head again, also glared at Xue Pan angrily, and then sat down and said, "Which mansion, what is the birthday gift!" ”
The people in front of them have already finished platoon, and they have arrived at Xue Pan.
Although Zhao Langzhong's tone was not very good, Xue Pan saw that he reprimanded Wu Fan, and his good impression of him still increased, and he immediately asked people to carry the birthday gift up, and then said with a smile: "My name is Xue Pan, when Emperor Taizu founded Ziwei Academy, he was in charge of government affairs, and the first Ziwei Sheren was the ancestor of my family......"
Zhao Langzhong glanced at Xue Pan, he was an official in the capital, and he had seen and heard more dignitaries. A Xue family, whose ancestors were majestic but now gradually declining and nameless, naturally would not move him.
"What's a birthday gift?"
Xue Pan gave a look, and the little servant of the Xue family uncovered the big red silk, and suddenly a golden golden Buddha appeared in everyone's sight.
Although most of the people present were not ordinary people, this kind of thing directly linked to money, gold, is still such a big one, which is still enough to attract people's attention!
"Such a big golden Buddha, this Xue family really has silver!"
"Of course, don't you know that this Xue family is under the shadow of the royal family, and has been an imperial merchant for three generations, and the family has more than one million? Such a golden Buddha is just a drop in the bucket for their family. ”
"Zizi, I see."
The whispers around made Xue Pan's face even more proud. Jia Baoyu is speechless for Xue Pan's personality, and his wealth is not exposed, in this case, even Jia Baoyu actually has a trace of envy for the wealth of the Xue family, not to mention others. Especially since the Xue family doesn't have any strong figures now, Jia Baoyu really doesn't understand what Xue Pan thinks at this time, maybe it's really simple.
Zhao Langzhong frowned, the look in his eyes was very complicated, and he couldn't help asking: "How much?" ”
Xue Pan smiled: "It's not heavy, it's not heavy, it's only seventy-eight pounds." ”
Zhao Langzhong twitched, glanced at the golden Buddha again, and wrote:
Xue family: A seventy-eight pound golden Buddha
Naturally, there were officials who immediately made a statement.
The Golden Buddha of 16 taels and 78 catties of gold is worth more than 10,000 taels of silver alone!
The ancients often said that if you have a lot of money, you are rich, and now the Xue family will give away all the wealth of the rich man with a gift.
Wu Fan watched the officials carry the golden Buddha away, and a touch of ruthlessness and greed flashed in his eyes.
The little Xue family actually dared to insult this son in public, if you don't let your family destroy all your wealth, this son will not be called Wu Fan!
Xu is saw his young master's thoughts, and the servant beside him reminded: "The Xue family is nothing, it's just that the four families of Jia Shi Wang Xue were originally the four major families of Jinling, and the relationship is strong. That kid's uncle is now the prince of the Nine Provinces Ruler. ”
"What kind of bullshit four families, this is the ...... of the capital"
Wu Fan said in a low voice, and then he didn't want to say anything here, and after registering the birthday gift, he took people away, but when he passed by Xue Pan's side, he said coldly: "It's full of copper smell, and it's unbearable!" ”
"The Eight Lambs ......"
Xue Pan was suddenly furious, and Jia Baoyu grabbed him. Seeing this, Wu Fan sneered and walked away.
"Brother Bao, what are you pulling me to do, this kind of person should teach him a good lesson!"
Jia Baoyu didn't know what to say about him, so he had to say: "If you're not afraid of being captured by the forbidden army, just go and beat him." But I can remind you that my uncle is not in the capital now, and I will see who will save you when the time comes. ”
"Uh, Brother Bao, don't be serious, I'm just talking about it...... I understood when you reminded me before, I'm not a fool, how could I beat him here, if you want to beat him, find an opportunity another day, call a group of people, and give him a good beating! ”
Xue Pan saw that Jia Baoyu was angry, and hurriedly appeased.
Jia Baoyu is no longer able to complain about Xue Pan. The longer you communicate with him, the more you will be amazed by his unique personalities such as "silly", "stupid" and "vulgar". But, then again, Xue Pan's righteousness may be his greatest merit!
What happened just now obviously had nothing to do with him, but he took the initiative to find a place for himself, and he didn't hesitate to offend anyone.
To tell the truth, people like Xue Pan can't know themselves, but being a friend can be completely established!
"You have to be careful with that Wu Fan, he is not like a good person, use your brains more when you meet him in the future, and be careful of losses."
"Just that prisoner, dare to calculate Uncle Xue?"
Xue Pan didn't care, but seeing that Jia Baoyu's face was not good-looking, he lowered his posture and said, "Okay, Brother Bao, I know that you are for my good, and I will guard against him." ”
In Xue Pan's heart, Jia Baoyu is indeed smarter than him, well, just a little bit. He admitted this, so he was willing to listen to him more, and he regarded Jia Baoyu as a brother and a trustworthy brother.
