Chapter 10: The Rebel
[Please be sure to turn to the latest chapter, it is very important for the new book period, thank you!] 】
After the little guy left, Aunt Xue became more and more confused, looked at Baochai and said, "Bao girl, what are you doing here?" ”
"Isn't it good to agree on things earlier, so that we can buy them calmly?" Aunt Xue became more and more puzzled.
got up and poured a cup of tea, Baochai slowly handed it to Aunt Xue, and then said: "Mother, the matter must be decided today, but now it's time for them to be anxious!" ”
"Only if they are more anxious, will these people agree to our plan!"
Aunt Xue nodded, it was the first time she had encountered such a big event, so she always felt uneasy in her heart.
Taking the tea handed by Baochai, Aunt Xue sighed slightly, she was only glad that she had this daughter.
Besides, in the front hall, seeing that Aunt Xue was reluctant to come out, the people in the Xue family's rooms were anxious.
If the plan is not finalized early, the Xue family may not be able to complete the imperial mission if it is dragged down, and the whole family will be unlucky at that time.
"Second uncle, how do you say this is good?"
"Yes, you have to hurry up and get an idea, if you miss the emperor's majesty's anger, no one can afford it!"
Xue Yu wanted to wait a little longer, but it could be seen that everyone was in a hurry, and his heart was no longer so firm.
Xue Pan's unfinished thing, when will he come back? Xue Yucheng was also afraid that something would go bad because of this.
"The matter must indeed be decided as soon as possible, and then someone will be sent to pass on my words, just say that I asked my wife to come out to discuss the matter!"
So another little guy went into the inner house to reply, but soon brought back news that disappointed everyone.
Aunt Xue still said that now that Xue Pan is in charge, everything will have to wait for her son to come back!
This made everyone angry, but Aunt Xue couldn't come out, and they could only stare dryly.
"Send more people to look for Pan'er, and you must find them before the sun sets!" Xue Yucheng trembled with anger.
From noon to now, the Xue family has sent three groups of people to look for it, but there is no news yet.
In fact, in the current era without mobile phones and surveillance, it is really difficult to find people in a big city like Yingtian.
The matter dragged on to this point, and the hearts of the people in all the rooms of the Xue family were panicked, and the idea of provoking trouble and asking for guilt and then fighting for benefits from the big house had faded by this time.
They only have one idea now, that is, to set the apportionment amount as soon as possible, and then the houses will do their best to complete the royal mission.
Other things can be held back by each other, but the celebrant hurriedly delivers the things he wants, and they don't dare to be slack.
After waiting for another half an hour, seeing that the sun had reached the eaves, Xue Yucheng finally couldn't wait.
"Well, let's all go and ask for a wife, we really can't wait any longer!"
Everyone present agreed to this proposal, and then helped Xue Yucheng to walk to the inner house.
Seeing that all the rooms were invited, and the attitude was extremely sincere, Aunt Xue knew that this bet was right, and it all depended on Baochai's planning.
So now, she simply listened to Baochai's idea.
At this point, Baochai didn't dare to take too big, and instructed her mother and the people of the clan to be false for a while, and finally reluctantly agreed to discuss the matter on behalf of Xue Pan.
Although the Xue family was panicked, when Aunt Xue proposed the apportionment plan, everyone still quarreled about it.
However, no matter what others said, Aunt Xue didn't let go at all, and it was a stalemate for half an hour before finally deciding the matter.
In other words, the 120,000 silver Xue family has made up 100,000, and the imperial mission can already be completed.
Then everyone discussed for another half an hour, assigned the procurement tasks of each room, and then everyone went their own way.
Back at the residence, Aunt Xue was overjoyed, and when she entered the house, she told Baochai about the situation.
"Mother, this matter has come to an end, but the remaining 20,000 silver has to be made up as soon as possible!"
"If the palace asks you to buy things again, won't you be in a hurry again!"
Aunt Xue nodded, but this matter is not in a hurry for the time being, anyway, it will have to be made up by each room at that time.
Baochai sighed, and there was nothing to say between mother and daughter for a while.
After a while, there was a commotion outside, and after a while, someone came to announce that Xue Pan had returned.
"Let him come to me at once!"
"This bastard, today's matter is so important, he went out to mess around...... I have to teach him a good lesson! ”
Hearing this, Baochai shook her head helplessly, she knew that it was useless.
After a while, Xue Pan walked into the courtyard gently, and at the moment he was still in a lot of pain, in order not to worry his mother and sister, he also made a relaxed look.
"Uncle!"
Along the way, the servants and maids saluted one after another, and Xue Pan walked straight into the house as if he didn't realize it.
But when he entered the house, he saw his mother sitting in the main hall with a frosty face, and she still held a ring ruler in her hand.
didn't wait for Xue Pan to speak, but listened to Aunt Xue scold: "Bastard, kneel!" ”
No matter how much bastard he was outside, Xue Pan's filial piety to his mother was not false at all, and he immediately knelt in place when he heard the words.
"Where have you been today?"
"I went to my friend Zhuangzi ......"
"What are you going to do?"
"There is grain in his family's treasury, and the child wants to buy it back as imperial food!"
Xue Pan has been pondering these words on the road, so the answer is like a stream at the moment.
Hearing that her son was going to do business, Aunt Xue's anger was reduced a lot, but she still asked sternly: "Don't you know that there is a big matter to be discussed in the clan today?" ”
"My son knew, I wanted to come back earlier, but it was delayed on the way!"
"As the head of the family, you don't know the severity of your actions, should you be punished?"
Xue Pan lowered his head and replied, "Yes!" ”
Aunt Xue didn't say a word, got up and walked in front of Xue Pan, and hit him on the back with a ring ruler.
Obviously, this kind of corporal punishment education method has not been used less by Aunt Xue in the past.
This also just shows a truth, corporal punishment is not very educational, otherwise Xue Pan would not be crooked.
Xue Pan was already injured on his body, and being beaten at the moment was even more painful, but he still couldn't help but shout.
"Madam, the official from the government came outside, saying that he came to the mansion to receive the silver on the order of the official Lord Hu!"
The sound of the announcement outside made Xue Pan's heart hang, for fear that his mother would investigate the matter.
"Silver? Is our Xue family the treasury of the government? ”
"The official said that he accepted the uncle's request, and the cost of helping was only paid this time!"
Hearing this, Aunt Xue's eyes swept to the son in front of her, and the meaning of questioning was extremely obvious.
"Mother, find a Westerner to buy a cannon, my son ......"
Xue Pan didn't expect the person who asked for money to come so soon, so he didn't make up the draft in advance, so that he couldn't make it up at the moment.
"What the hell is going on?" Aunt Xue waved the ring ruler and hit Xue Pan.
Xue Pan screamed miserably, but he failed to exchange for Aunt Xue's love, and then was beaten a few more times.
Baochai on the side looked extremely anxious, and hurriedly reminded: "Brother, you still don't tell the truth?" ”
So Xue Pan hurriedly confessed, and told all about the fact that he brought his servants to buy and beat people today, and then was beaten and sent to the government office, and then asked Hu Jinan for help.
"Rebel, this rebel ......"
Aunt Xue scolded a few times, hit Xue Pan a few times in a row, and then sat aside and cried, making Xue Pan kowtow again and again to admit his mistake.
"Brother, this matter is your fault, if you want me to say just forget it!" Baochai persuaded softly.
"Forget it, where do I put my face?"
"Do you still have face? You've lost all my face! Aunt Xue scolded.
Baochai reminded: "Now that the clan is about to use money, you have to use these 8,000 taels of silver to buy face, and our family will have to sell the house and land!" ”
"But Hu Jin'an's side ......"
Aunt Xue said categorically: "Give him some silver, tell him that it is better to settle the grievance, and this matter will end here!" ”
"Yes!" Xue Pan was a little reluctant.
Baochai added on the side: "The Feng family who is in prison should also be released, after all, we don't take care of it!" ”
