Chapter 43: The Xue Family's Difficulties

Because of his loyalty, Lin Ruhai will consider the problem from the position of the emperor, and he will have his words to Jia Yucun.

In fact, the different choices of Jinling officials are, in the final analysis, due to their different positions.

Of course, from being demoted to being reinstated, Jia Yucun knows how to think about himself.

So he listened to Lin Ruhai's words, but he was not moved for the time being, because he still had to seriously consider his own interests.

At present, only a small part of Ying Tianfu's accounts have not been investigated, and even if there are problems with these, they have nothing to do with the new prefect of Jia Yucun.

In other words, there is no crisis at all in Jia Yu Village, so he is not busy making choices.

But he is well aware that crises also represent opportunities, and that a good operation could save a decade of effort.

The previous dismissal made him insecure in the officialdom, so he was bent on making the official bigger, and the goal was even directed at the center of the cabinet.

Sitting in the sedan chair, Jia Yucun frowned and thought, thinking about Lin Ruhai's words repeatedly in his mind.

In fact, Qian Ruiming looked for him a few days ago, and he was guiding him to stand in line openly and secretly, but he was prevaricated by Jia Yucun.

In the past few days, he has not been idle, while collecting news from various government offices and Beijing, and at the same time carefully analyzing and considering them.

The general context of the factional struggle, he has already sorted out his basic reasoning, and it depends on how to choose next.

"There is a risk of choosing the wrong one, if you really want to choose...... can only be as Brother Lin said, choose from His Majesty's wishes! Jia Yucun secretly wondered.

But this will create another problem, if you help the crown prince, you will offend King Rui, and it will also be a trouble for him.

Do you want to continue to pretend to be stupid...... Jia Yucun was extremely entangled at the moment.

In the Xue family on the other end, Xue Pan also had a sad face.

From the beginning to the end, he didn't want to file a lawsuit, and he was miserable at this point, and today he wanted to withdraw the lawsuit in court.

But thinking of the situation when the knife was on his neck that day, Xue Pan couldn't help but shudder, and the idea of retreating suddenly disappeared.

"You mean...... Zhenjiang Mansion didn't give us an invoice? ”

"Exactly ......"

After answering, the steward of the Xue family continued: "Our ship can't pass, and the grain we bought can only be piled up, and the warehouse in Taixing is not enough, and a lot of grain is still piled up in the open air!" ”

"If it rains, I'm afraid the food will rot......"

Xue Pan clenched his fists and said viciously: "Those people in Zhenjiang Mansion don't take our advantage less on weekdays, but now they actually stumble on me, what a brute!" ”

The steward hesitated, but couldn't help but say, "Uncle, I'm just afraid of this...... It has something to do with the case in our house! ”

"I'm suing Hu Jin'an, how much does it have to do with Zhenjiang Mansion? Nonsense......"

Not everyone can see the general trend clearly, even Jia Yucun has to collect a lot of news, and it took a few days of analysis to sort out the context.

At this moment, Xue Pan retorted, and this steward also felt that he was thinking too much, so he didn't say anything more.

The steward said some other things, and then left the living room, leaving Xue Pan alone to drink alcohol.

"Uncle, Mrs. has passed the food over there!"

"Got it, got it......"

Xue Pan shook his hand impatiently, and the maid was afraid of an unwarranted disaster, so she hurriedly retreated.

Although Xue Pan is an adult, he has not yet started a family, and the number of people in the extra house is sparse, so they have always eaten together.

After pouring another sip of stuffy wine, Xue Pan set off to rush to the inner house.

"Look at you, when have you been drinking so much...... Why can't you grow up! ”

Smelling the smell of wine on her son's body, Aunt Xue couldn't help but reprimand, but Xue Pan sat indifferently.

The maids and ladies quickly put the food on the table, but Xue Pan had no appetite in the face of the delicacies, and kept thinking about the emperor's mission.

"Why didn't Baochai come over?"

"Mrs., the word has already been passed on, and the girl said that she will come over after embroidering the veil!" The maid replied.

In this era, the aristocratic lady was not only a female worker in addition to reading and writing, but the latter was especially important.

"It's not too late for a while, and then call her...... Why bother to starve your body! ”

When the words fell, there was already a sound of talking in the back hall, but it was Baochai and a few maids who came.

"Mother......

"Sit down!" Seeing her daughter coming, Aunt Xue finally smiled.

The family of three ate for a while, and seeing that the elder brother was worried, Baochai couldn't help but ask, "Brother...... But worried about the case? ”

Her sister Bing Xue is smart, maybe she can come up with a way...... Xue Pan thought so, so he told the government about the embarrassment.

"Little sister, what do you say to do? Those grains can't be delayed, and if something happens, you'll lose your head! ”

They had prepared military rations, and if they didn't deliver them on time, the punishment of the celebrant would be extremely severe.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down to suppress the widows, and these grains are prepared for His Royal Highness the Prince, why don't the eldest brother try to report this matter to the Prince?" Baochai replied softly.

Xue Pan looked confused: "It's not that it's impossible, it's just that I don't have an official status, so I can't deliver the news to the prince!" ”

Although Xue Pan's grandfather was only a member of the Zhongshu Society, he was the confidant of the ancestor Zhu Xianzhuo, and although the official rank was low, his status was respected.

Xue Pan's father is a lifter, and he hung up the title of director in the household department before his death, and he is also a serious official.

As soon as she thought of this, Aunt Xue only felt that her heart was on fire, and the more she looked at Xue Pan, the more unpleasant she felt.

"Over the years, there have been many officials who have made good friends with the government, why don't you find their way?" Baochai frowned.

"This ...... Previously, most of these people came to borrow money, but most of them were blocked back by me, and now I am looking for them to help, but I am afraid that I will ......"

"Tell me, what can you do? When your father is gone, he says, ......",

When Aunt Xue was about to train her son again, she heard Baochai say: "I remember that my aunt wrote a letter before, saying that Jia Yu Village, Yingtian Governor's Mansion, was recommended by my uncle's family before she could come to Yingtian to serve ......"

"Why don't you go to this person for help?"

"No...... Not long after he arrived in Yingtian, our family offended him, right? Baochai looked at his brother and said.

"Since there is such a relationship, then I'll give it a try!"

Xue Pan was also really anxious, so much so that he didn't even want to eat, so he got up and rushed outside.

Baochai hurriedly persuaded: "Big brother, don't be in a hurry, if it's too late today, wouldn't it be abrupt to rush to the house?" Let's go back early tomorrow morning! ”

Thinking that this really made sense, Xue Pan could only turn around and come back, sighed and began to eat.

"Pan'er, you have to find a way to get the official body of the household department as soon as possible, otherwise how can you afford this family!" Aunt Xue sighed, her sad face was clearly visible.

In the nagging of Aunt Xue, the family of three finished dinner and talked for a while before they dispersed.

Walking in the corridor of the inner house without saying a word, Baochai stopped at the corner, leaned on the railing and looked at the stars in the sky, and finally let out a sigh.

Originally, there was instability within the family, and now that they are encountering these troubles, it is difficult to feel at ease.

It's just that the brother who is the pillar of the pillar is unreliable, which makes Baochai not worried.

Behind her, only followed by the personal maid Ying'er.

"Girl, what's on your mind?" Ying'er couldn't help but ask.

In her heart, the smart and wise Baochai is like a fairy in the sky, how can she not solve her worries.

"You know what's going on!"

"Of course I do, girl...... Do you want your future husband? Speaking of this, Ying'er herself laughed.

Although they are masters and servants, their relationship is not ordinarily good, and they dare to joke when they see no one on the left and right.

knew that Ying'er wanted to make herself happy, so Baochai didn't get angry, but turned her face and said, "Ying'er, don't eat this month's sour jujube cake!" ”

Hearing this, Ying'er was immediately dumbfounded.
