As soon as Xue Pan was injured, there was indeed no male in the Xue family's big house.

And if there is no one in the main family to accompany you, it is not a treat, but an offense.

But Aunt Xue can call Jia Huan into the inner house and eat with their girls.

Jia Huan is a junior, and Xue Baochai is Sister Bao, so there is no need to avoid so much.

But it was a little weird to let Xue Baochai only accompany the guests.

Well, the wife of a merchant family like Aunt Xue, Jia Huan can probably guess a thing or two about her thoughts.

But Xue Baochai was willing to eat with him alone, which surprised Jia Huan.

With her cleverness, don't you know that this will damage her reputation?

Just as Jia Huan was thinking, Xue Baochai had generously invited Jia Huan to the table, and the two sat next to each other.

Xue Baochai said with a smile: "Brother Huan has helped my brother a lot, and my brother can have this change, thanks to Brother Huan'er's support." ”

"It stands to reason that we should have invited Brother Huan'er for this meal, but it was delayed until today, which made Brother Huan'er smile."

Speaking of which, although Xue Pan invited Jia Huan to host several times.

But Aunt Xue, this is really the first time to feast Jia Huan.

It stands to reason that when Jia Huan rescued Jia Baoyu and Xue Pan for the first time, the Xue family should have feasted him once.

Even if he didn't invite him this time, the second time Jia Huan pulled Xue Pan to do the perfume business, so that the Xue family made a lot of money at once, shouldn't he be invited?

There is also a third time to help the Xue family check the accounts, which should also be invited once.

The Xue family is a merchant family, and it would be a joke to say that they don't understand these people's sophistication.

The reason why I didn't invite it was probably because of Mrs. Wang of Rongguo Mansion.

Jia Huan didn't expect that Xue Baochai would expose his shortcomings in front of him, but let him secretly praise his cleverness.

Jia Huan couldn't help but say, "Sister Bao, Brother Xue doesn't know how many times I've invited the host." You and me, where do you need such politeness? ”

Xue Baochai raised his glass and said: "Thanks to Brother Huan, he is a person who understands things and is lenient and generous, but if you change to a smaller measure, I am afraid that it will ...... Brother Huan, sister toasts you. ”

The two of them drank the cup to the brim.

Next, Xue Baochai was generous, behaved calmly, and talked moderately. made Jia Huan very relaxed, and there was no crampedness.

Jia Huan also secretly admired Xue Baochai's profound knowledge.

And Jia Huan has a feeling that as long as Xue Baochai is willing, she can perfectly entertain people at different levels.

The two chatted a few more words, and Xue Baochai couldn't help asking: "Brother Huan, you are about to go to Ping'an County to take up the post of county commander." I don't know if the Huan brothers have a plan in their hearts? ”

Jia Huan glanced at Xue Baochai, but he didn't expect her to be interested in government affairs.

Jia Huan couldn't help but say: "Sister Bao, although I didn't go, I have sent someone over to secretly investigate the situation in Ping'an County." After arriving in Ping'an County, it will not be black-eyed. There are the emperor and Zhao Shi standing behind me, and it will not be too difficult to carry out the situation. ”

Xue Baochai said: "Brother Huan, the so-called Hades is good-looking, and the little ghost is difficult. Those who have official status are easier to deal with. On the contrary, it is those low-level officials, they are the lackeys of local wealthy families, treacherous and treacherous. ”

And all the errands, in the final analysis, are ultimately done by these officials. If they disobey the evil and secretly play tricks, things will be difficult to do. ”

"Things at the bottom have to be done by someone after all, even if there is another group of people, it may not be good. If you are dispatched from outside and are not familiar with the local situation, it will be more difficult to carry out errands. ”

After listening to Xue Baochai's words, Jia Huan couldn't help but look at her with admiration.

Xue Baochai said this, I am afraid that ordinary people and jinshi may not be able to notice these details.

Only after they have experienced the place and suffered the social beatings can they understand it little by little.

Jia Huan couldn't help laughing and said: "Sister Bao is really a heroine, if a woman can be an official, Sister Bao doesn't know how many men she can beat." ”

Hearing this, Xue Baochai couldn't help but purse his lips and smile.

Jia Huan said: "I also know these situations, and there are two ways to change this situation. One is top-down and one is bottom-up. ”

"I've come up with a way, and it's not easy to say yes or no, so I'll have to try it to find out. We will see at the end of the year. ”

Xue Baochai came up with a problem, but he didn't come up with a solution to it. At this time, when he heard Jia Huan's words, he became curious.

However, she was originally dignified and steady, and when she heard that Jia Huan didn't want to say more, she didn't ask more.

Xue Baochai said again: "Brother Huan, in Ping'an County, there are also my Xue family's perfume shop and several other shops. You have this jade pendant, and if you need manpower or silver, the Huan brothers can only instruct them to do it. When they saw this jade pendant, they saw me in the same way. ”

Jia Huan thought for a while, took the jade pendant and said, "Then I will accept it unceremoniously, and thank my sister first." ”

Xue Baochai pursed his lips and smiled: "That's exactly what is good." ”

Jia Huan suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help but say to Xue Baochai: "Sister Bao, I have something to ask you to help with." ”

Xue Baochai said: "Brother Huan, you just have to say, as long as my Xue family can do it, I will not refuse." ”

Jia Huan smiled: "It's not that serious, I just want to borrow a few people from my sister who can check the accounts." ”

Hearing this, Xue Baochai's face showed a thoughtful look, as if he had guessed what he wanted to do.

Xue Baochai couldn't help but say: "The method of checking accounts was taught to my family by Brother Huan, what is the value of this little thing." ”

"I'll send them to Ningguo Mansion in a while, Brother Huan, you just have to stay. If necessary, you can take them to Ping'an County. ”

Jia Huan did not refuse, he is now in urgent need of talents around him, and he can really use them.

Therefore, Jia Huan said: "In this way, then thank you Sister Bao." ”

The two of them didn't drink much, and they stopped after a shallow taste, and the banquet dispersed after a while.

Jia Huan went to the inner room and saw that Xue Pan had also eaten under the service of the maid.

Seeing Jia Huan coming in, Xue Pan asked, "Brother Huan'er, have you eaten well?" ”

Jia Huan smiled: "Thank you Sister Bao for your hospitality, but it was a surprise to Sister Bao." ”

Xue Pan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Brother Huan, you said it yourself, how is my sister?" ”

Xue Baochai couldn't help blushing, and said angrily: "Brother, are you crazy again?" What kind of bastard is this talking about? ”

After saying that, Xue Baochai turned around and left in shame and annoyance.

Jia Huan smiled, and didn't bother to pay attention to Xue Pan's crazy words.

He sat down for a moment, then got up and took his leave.

Back to Ning Guofu, along the way, Jia Huan had completely understood the intentions of Aunt Xue's mother and daughter.

Aunt Xue's thoughts, there is no need to say.

And Xue Baochai's thoughts, Jia Huan also guessed a thing or two.

This banquet is actually a stage for Xue Baochai to show his ability.
