As soon as the three Xue family members entered the capital, they learned that Prince Teng had been promoted to control nine provinces.
I had just set out to check the border under the order, and I missed them perfectly.
Xue Pan had always been worried about his uncle's strict discipline, but now it was just what he wanted.
Just as he was about to have his house tidied up in the capital, Xue's mother insisted on visiting relatives and friends directly.
He said that he would live with Wang's family or Jia's family for a while first.
Just ask someone to come over and clean it up in the meantime.
Despite all his reluctance, Xue Pan did not go against his mother's wishes.
After paying their respects to the Wang family, the three mothers went straight to the Jia Mansion in Rongguo.
Mrs. Wang has been waiting for them for a long time.
As soon as he heard that he was outside the house, he was so happy that he went out in person.
When sisters meet, they are filled with joy and sorrow.
After reminiscing about old times for a long time, I went to see Jia Mu.
Xue's mother donated all the people and goods she brought to Jinling.
Later, Mrs. Wang welcomed Baochai and her daughter in the inner house.
Xue Pan met with the men of Jia's family.
Jia Zheng, Jia Lian, Jia She, Jia Zhen, etc. all met.
The Rong Mansion also set up a banquet for him.
During the dinner, Jia Zheng followed the agreement with Mrs. Wang.
It was proposed that the southeast corner of Lixiang Courtyard should be given to the three Xue family members to live in first.
Regardless of whether Xue Pantong agreed or not, he sent people to the inner house to talk to Xue's mother.
Mrs. Wang also followed suit.
Before Xue's mother expressed her position, Jia's mother also sent people over to entertain the guests.
So I just agreed.
In fact, this is exactly what Xue's mother wanted.
She had always been afraid that Xue Pan would cause trouble in the capital, but she couldn't control him.
Therefore, I thought of staying in the Wang Mansion or Jia Mansion just to find some external force to restrain Xue Pan.
Coupled with Baochai's incident, it would be best to live in Jia's house.
Xue's mother also agreed with Mrs. Wang that although she was staying here, she would pay all the expenses herself.
Mrs. Wang knew that her family was rich, so she did not force herself to entertain guests.
In this way, the three Xue family members settled in Lixiangyuan.
This Lixiangyuan was originally the retirement home of Rong Guogong.
Although it is small and exquisite, the front hall and back rooms are complete.
There are more than a dozen houses in the front, and there is a door in the back that leads directly to the street.
I usually go through this door when I go out, so I don't disturb Jia's house.
There is also a corner door in the southwest, which leads directly to the east courtyard of Mrs. Wang's main room.
Daily or after meals or in the evening.
Most of Baochai's mother and daughter would come and walk around.
Xue Mu either chatted with Jia Mu or talked with Mrs. Wang.
Baochai lives with Daiyu, Sanchun and other sisters.
Or the sisters would read and play chess together, or learn to make acupuncture with Li Wan.
Mother and daughter are very happy with each other.
Only Xue Pan.
Within a few days of his stay, he had close contact with the handsome men of the Jia clan.
Take people to the club today and invite people to the casino tomorrow.
Eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, everything.
Instigated by these people.
Xue Pan's character was ten times worse than it was in Jinling.
Today he took Jin Rong and Jia Rui out for a walk and was feeling a little hungry.
Jia Rui proposed the Zhuangyuan Building outside Chongwen Gate.
The Zhuangyuan Red Pork and Sweet and Sour Pork here are excellent both in food and wine.
I didn't expect that there was no private room because I didn't make a reservation.
There is no such thing as there was originally.
But just as a few people were about to go out, they happened to catch up with the guests who had booked a private room.
Xue Pan wanted to throw money at someone, but the guest gave him a sideways glance.
I ignored him and went upstairs.
When the shopkeeper saw this, he immediately came over to smooth things over.
Just as Xue Pan was about to continue his entanglement, a voice that made his hair stand on end appeared.
Feng Yibo's voice fell upon his ears.
Xue Pan felt hundreds of human heads automatically appear in his mind.
They are swirling around him!
The two men who came with him glared at each other.
"Who are you?"
Jia Rui bared his teeth and looked at Feng Yibo.
"That's right! How can I talk to Uncle Xue?"
Jin Rong even wanted to take action.
"shut up!"
Xue Pan was startled and shouted quickly.
Can you get any good out of offending this King of Hell?
Xue Pan slowly turned around.
The moment he saw Feng Yibo, his pupils shrank.
Sure enough it was him!
He forced a smile, but his words were no longer as sharp as before.
"Feng Feng Feng Feng Feng...Why did Uncle Feng come to eat in person?"
After saying this, Xue Pan stepped down.
Without seeing any movement, the person disappeared at the door.
Jin Rong and Jia Rui were both stunned, and then looked at each other.
He quickly followed him out.
Feng Yibo was left a little confused.
"Meet an acquaintance?"
As soon as he returned to his seat, Zhou Jun asked curiously.
All three of them saw the scene just now.
Zhou Jun and Feng Yibo are from the same hometown.
I know that except for a few of them, Feng Yibo doesn't know anyone well.
"Speaking of which, you should also know this person."
Feng Yibo hasn't figured it out yet.
There have been a lot of strange things lately.
Before it was the Supreme Emperor, and then Xia Bingzhong.
Now it's Xue Pan again.
Why do you run away when you see him, and why do you look so afraid of him?
Seeing Zhou Jun frowning at him, Feng Yibo didn't hide anything.
"He is the famous 'Stupid Overlord' in Jinling."
"The one from the Xue family?"
Zhou Jun was surprised.
He was also a wealthy man in Jinling and had heard of Xue Pan.
"Um."
Feng Yibo nodded.
Liu Zheng on the side said casually: "What, are you an enemy?"
Feng Yibo shook his head.
"He's just a dandy from his hometown. It's a bit surprising to meet him here."
Liu Zheng and Yang Mingxin looked at each other and agreed without asking any more questions.
Their roots are not in Aurous Hill, so even if they really have a grudge, they won't be able to help.
"Drink, drink!"
Yang Mingxin picked up the wine pot and started pouring wine.
"Come on, come on!"
Zhou Jun was the first to lift the cup. He stood up and said:
"I would like to give a toast to the three Hanlin officials. I hope they will be promoted step by step and join the cabinet as soon as possible. Then I can support my younger brother!"
Yang Mingxin joked: "Want to go through the back door? This way is blocked!"
Feng Yibo smiled and agreed: "This matter still depends on Brother Haoran!"
Liu Zheng shook his head repeatedly and said with a smile: "You are really more beautiful than I thought!"
Several people booed, and Zhou Jun added: "At the same time, I also wish myself the best to be able to choose a sage!"
After a pause, he said in a deep voice: "Otherwise, I might not be able to drink with you next time."
After saying this, I finished my drink in one gulp, feeling somewhat tragic.
Liu Zheng was the most carefree and said first: "Nonsense! How do these trivial matters affect our drinking?"
Yang Mingxin was the best at joking and said:
"That's right! If you don't choose, it doesn't mean you're going to be released."
"Of course, I'm not talking about you. You can definitely let it go."
"Ah no, you can definitely choose!"
He made a few jokes and quickly confessed, then drank it all in one gulp.
Feng Yibo smiled, shook his head, and drank it all in one gulp.
The three of them had a drink and took two bites of food.
Feng Yibo raised his wine glass.
"I am the youngest and have been studying hard. Brother Boyan knows that I have almost no friends."
"It is a great honor for Yibo to get to know three brothers now."
He raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp, with the rim of the glass facing downwards:
"This cup is a toast to our everlasting friendship!"
Yang Mingxin was the first to follow suit and gestured with the rim of the cup pointing down.
"Friendship lasts forever, so drink this wine!"
Liu Zheng also drank it all and said with a smile:
"Yibo is the youngest, but he will become a great person in the future."
Zhou Jun seemed to be inspired by poetry and recited:
"Raise a toast to friendship, and we will gather in the pavilion tomorrow!"
…
While the four of them were drinking happily, Xue Pan returned to Lixiangyuan in a state of absent-mindedness.
