If you really want to calculate it carefully, Xue Shao's business of buying a house is actually a win-win situation. Yu Hongye took off the rotten "haunted house" in his hands and exchanged it for a set of former residences of the prince of Lantian who were quite profitable. Xue Shao has a good Chang'an real estate, and since then there is an additional "quasi-housekeeper" who is very familiar with the local area and is very shrewd and capable to help with all the relocation chores, which cannot be bought with money.

What's more, Yu Hongye is a beauty.

Although in the eyes of the Tang Dynasty, Yu Hongye, a businesswoman, wants to make friends with the noble Lantian Gongzi is simply a fool's dream, but Xue Shao sees the shadow of a working woman in the 21st century in her. This capable, free and easy beautiful woman who never vases gives Xue Shao a good impression. In the future, there may be many places to use her.

What's more, she feels pretty good!

When the house was busy, Xue Shao rode a horse and went out of the house alone, going straight to Li Xianyuan's house. The time was just right, and it was the same night when he arrived at his house, and Li Xianyuan had just returned home.

"Where has Brother Xue gone in the past two days, so that I can find it?" Li Xianyuan greeted him and said in surprise, "Princess Taiping is also sending people around looking for you, do you know the way?" ”

"I don't know how to pinch my fingers and ask the immortals, so I just learned about it." Xue Shao smiled and sat down swaggeringly, "Li Sili, serve tea to this official!" ”

Jiupin Si Li, Li Xianyuan's official position. The Tang people used to refer to each other by the official positions they had conferred, most of the time to show respect.

But Li Xian clearly felt that Xue Shao was ridiculing him, and poured him a cup of tea and said angrily, "Taiguan Xue, please use it slowly!" ”

"Well, Brother Li is quite virtuous." Xue Shao laughed and drank the tea slowly.

"Brother Xue, did you come to make fun of me today?" Li Xianyuan glanced out of the door twice, "Why didn't the Moon Slave girl follow you?" ”

"She has other things to do." Xue Shao put down the teacup and said, "I have decided to move my family to Chang'an, and I have settled here since then. ”

"Oh?" Li Xianyuan was a little surprised and surprised, "Why did Brother Xue make a decision so suddenly?" ”

"People go to high places." Xue Shao said indifferently, "Nesting in that small place in Lantian County all day long, eating and waiting for death, there should be an end." When my new home is settled, I'm going to have a roast feast. ”

Li Xianyuan suddenly became interested, "I don't know who Brother Xue is going to invite?" ”

Xue Shao furrowed his brows slightly, "I've been thinking about this issue recently. I thought that at the moment, I must, and can only invite some people from our family surnamed Xue to participate in my roasted tail feast! ”

"......" Li Xianyuan blinked and pondered for a moment after hearing this, and nodded thoughtfully, "It makes sense, it makes sense." ”

Xue Shao smiled: "What kind of reason? ”

"Do you have to ask me?"

"I'm here today to hear your opinion."

It is rare for Xue Shao to value and give face so much, Li Xianyuan is not hypocritical, and said: "If I were Brother Xue, I would probably only invite people from my family surnamed Xue to the banquet." Nowadays, the former crown prince Li Xiangang has been deposed, and there is a rumor above the court, and it is not appropriate to gather people in private. Moreover, although Brother Xue is new to his career, many people have heard of Brother Xue and are no strangers to him. If Brother Xue only invited Zhang San, Li Si would definitely be angry in his heart; If only Li Si is invited, Zhang San will definitely be secretly displeased, and of course he can't invite the civil and military capital of the Manchu Dynasty! - Then Brother Xue only invited a few people from his own family surnamed Xue, it didn't matter, and no one had anything to say. ”

"That's what I thought, too. When I first arrived, I didn't want to lose a reputation of favoritism and offend people from the first day I joined the company. Xue Shao took over and said, "It's only my surname Xue, the Xue family was born with a big show." ”

"There are pros and cons to everything." Li Xianyuan said, "Although it is easy for Brother Xue to enter the office, he has more taboos than ordinary officials. ”

Xue Shao smiled disappreciatively and said: "Now the Xue clan in Hedong is prosperous, and there are many officials in the court, generals in the army, and officials in the frontier. It's impossible for me to invite all of them, Xue thinks to himself, and he doesn't have such a big face. After thinking about it, I think there are two elders surnamed Xue, and I have to invite them! ”

"What Brother Xue said, could it be that Xue Yuanchao, the prime minister of the dynasty, and Xue Kegou, the household servant?" Li Xianyuan said.

"Yes." Xue Shao nodded, "These two people are high-ranking and powerful, and they are both my father's uncles. Although Xue does not expect their support and care, he must at least give them some face. ”

Li Xianyuan was silent for a moment, and shook his head with a hint of embarrassment, "I'm afraid it's difficult to invite." ”

Xue Shao smiled indifferently, "Please don't ask me; Come or not come, in them. ”

"That makes sense!"

"There are two other people, I have to be invited!" Xue Shao suddenly changed his words.

"Who?"

"They are a pair of brothers, the sons of Xue Rengui, Xue Ne and Xue Chuyu!" Xue Shao said, "It is reported that these two are both in Chang'an, do you know where they live and what their positions are?" ”

Li Xianyuan was a little puzzled, "The lineage of the Xue family's Nanzu used to be a good general, but since Xue Rengui was defeated by Dafeichuan ten years ago, it has declined. Now Xue Rengui is denounced in the poor mountains and bad waters of Xiangzhou, Xue Ne is just a Chang'an city gate, Xue Chuyu's official position in the royal royal rate Yu Lin Wei is even more humble, and the two brothers are both turbid officials...... Why did Brother Xue invite them to be there? ”

"Everyone in the world is the icing on the cake, and Xue loves to send charcoal in the snow." Xue Shao smiled and said, "It's best if these big shots like Xue Yuanchao and Xue Kegou can come, and if they don't come, they won't force it; Xue Ne brothers, I have to please! ”

Li Xianyuan looked at Xue Shao deeply and nodded thoughtfully, "In this way, Brother Xue is still interested in military martial arts?" ”

Xue Shao smiled and was noncommittal.

"Brother Xue, Xiao Sheng thinks your idea is too strange!" Li Xianyuan said a little puzzled, "Brother Xue, you are not short of money or women, and even the bloodline and family are very rare among people. It is the dream of countless people in the world to win such a pair of wealth, but you were born with it. Even if you don't marry a princess, you can enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth with fresh clothes and angry horses, why do you want to ...... Determined to follow Rong? ”

"I'm tired of the days of drunkenness and singing at night. That feeling, empty to rotten. Xue Shao still smiled and replied casually. I said, do you want me to explain to you the historical trend of the next few decades, so as to analyze my motives for "aspiring to follow Rong"?

Li Xianyuan is not stupid, and seeing that Xue Shao is evasive, he will no longer ask questions.

The two chatted for a while, Li Xianyuan was about to replace the new tea, and someone came to knock on the door, "Is Li Langjun at home?" ”

A slightly older voice.

"It's Steward Chen from my house who is here." Xue Shaodao.

Li Xianyuan got up and prepared to answer the door, "You called him here?" ”

"Don't bother, I'll go with Steward Chen." Xue Shao also got up.

Li Xianyuan nodded, "Princess Taiping, how are you going to deal with it?" ”

"I'm not in a hurry, what are you in a hurry." Xue Shao smiled, "Don't worry, I have my own measure." ”

Li Xianyuan didn't want to say more, and said in his heart that the previous Lantian Gongzi always had to get by and had a muddy nightmare, but now it seems that everything is under control. It seems that he didn't come here today to find me, but to wait for this Steward Chen, and he pinched the time so accurately. He had already thought clearly about the selection of the guests for the roasted tail banquet, and he was more like a Zhizhu in his hands about Princess Taiping...... It's weird, when did he grow such a sober brain?

Xue Shao glanced at his face and said with a smile: "Brother Li, isn't he reluctant to give up on me?" ”

"Xiao Sheng doesn't have a dragon yang fetish!" Li Xianyuan shuddered and smiled bitterly, "Brother Xue is good to go, don't send it, don't send it!" ”

Xue Shaoha laughed twice, "If the princess urges someone to come to you to inquire about my news, you will answer truthfully." ”

"Okay." Li Xianyuan answered, but he couldn't guess what medicine was buried in his gourd, was this to play hide and seek with Princess Taiping?

"Farewell."

Xue Shao walked out of the courtyard gate, and Chen Xinghua, the housekeeper of Xue Mansion, stood in front of the door, and bowed when he saw Xue Shao, "It turns out that the son is here!" I don't know why the son is in a hurry to call the old decay to come? ”

Chen Xinghua is more than 50 years old, born lean, cautious and good at financial management, specializing in the management of money and tenants for large families. Not long ago, Xue Shao "fired" the original housekeeper and invited him, firstly, because of his fame, and secondly, because he was a good person so as not to reveal any flaws. It had the same intention as he had sent away so many concubines.

"From now on, I will settle in Chang'an, and I have decided to sell the old house in Lantian. But you have to take care of the accounts. The details are explained to you by their own moon slaves. Xue Shaoyan said succinctly, "Now come with me and go to the new house." ”

"Yes, Childe." Since the master has said so, even if he has a thousand doubts as a subordinate, he is not good to ask too much. Chen Xinghua has been here for a short time, and he has not yet figured out the temperament of this Lantian son, so he can only obey his words and do things according to his orders.

This is exactly the effect of Xue Shao.

Big and small things must be in their own control, step by step, and all uncontrollable factors must be minimized as much as possible, which is almost Xue Shao's habit. Perhaps because he has lived in the military for too long, he already has this kind of "meticulous" rigor in his character.

Xue Shao rode a horse and Chen Xinghua got into the car, and the master and servant walked on the wrong horse.

Chen Xinghua felt that it was very inappropriate to sit in the carriage, how could there be a reason for the master to ride a horse and I rode in the carriage, and he should not wait for me here in person, wouldn't it be appropriate to send someone to come or leave a letter?

Chen Xinghua naturally couldn't imagine that the current Lantian Gongzi had just fallen in love with the new sport of "horse riding", and it was "by the way" to wait for him here. The main purpose of Xue Shao's trip was just to show up at Li Xianyuan, so that Princess Taiping could "catch the wind and catch the shadows".

After being a special forces soldier for so many years, Xue Shao has long been accustomed to one thing - try to find out the enemy's whereabouts and thoughts while hiding himself to the greatest extent. The essence of special operations has permeated every detail of his life.
