The first room of the Xue family was surprised

The Jinling Zhen family has finished discussing, and the other families are not idle either.

The Xue family, a local snake in Jinling, did not follow them to the capital at that time, but the whole family stayed in Jinling. As the royal merchant, the head of the Xue family also inherited the reputation of Ziwei Sheren, and has been running errands for the palace and the internal affairs office.

, but except for the ancestors who did Ziwei Sheren, no one did it after that, only the imperial merchants remained, and the situation gradually became dangerous.

Since the eldest son, Mr. Xue, died of illness, the Xue family's business has been declining year by year, especially the main line of the foreign trade route that supported the Xue family's financial resources. After the Jurchens came, they directly destroyed the trade route and blocked a large amount of goods.

The legitimate son of Dafang, Xue Pan, who was called the "Foolish Overlord" by Jinling City, was even more uneducated. He only knew how to drink wine and cause trouble. He also beat the scholar Feng Yuan to death in the street because of a beautiful woman. If it weren't for the Jia family and

The old relatives of the Wang family are so powerful that I don't know what to do. This period of time has made Mrs. Xue very worried.

Just after breakfast, the concierge of the Xue Mansion came over to announce that he had received a letter from the Wang family in the capital.

Mrs. Xue thought about calling Xue Baochai into the house to discuss;

"Baochai, come here, take a look. This is a letter from the Wang family in Beijing. You said that after so many years, the Wang family hasn't written any letters to me. It's strange today."

Xue Baochai thought of his brother, fearing that it was not a case of beating someone to death, so he said quickly;

"Mom, don't worry, just take a look, are you afraid it's not about my brother's lawsuit?"

"Oh, open it quickly. Didn't it say that it has been solved and the judgment is over? Why is there still something wrong?"

Xue Baochai quickly opened the envelope, took out the letter paper and started reading.

"Stop reading, just read it out and I'll listen to it. What's going on?"

Mrs. Xue saw her daughter opening the envelope and reading it for herself without making a sound. This was called being anxious.

"Mom, it's not our brother's business. It's the Wang family who asked us to ask about a distant relative of the Wang family's side house, a Jinling woman named Wang Shihan. The main purpose is to ask her if she has any family or house here. It's very important. My brother's business is not at all

I didn’t mention it.”

Xue Baochai glanced through the letter roughly, briefly stated the meaning of the letter, and repeatedly mentioned a distant relative of the Wang family, a woman named Wang Shihan. Seeing that Mrs.

Said;

"Mom, my brother's matter is fine and has been settled a long time ago. This letter seems to be very important. It was written by my uncle himself."

When Mrs. Xue heard her daughter say that Pan'er was fine, she came to her senses and took a deep breath.

"Who were you talking about just now? A distant relative of the Wang family. How come I didn't know that? Our Wang family's two families are already in the capital. Where are the other women?"

"Mother, she should be one of the ten other members of the Wang family who stayed in Jinling. I'm not talking about the main family. She must have been famous back then, otherwise she wouldn't have been mentioned."

"Oh, well, let me think about it, who is that?"

Mrs. Xue still forgot the person's name.

"Mother, this is Wang Shihan."

Xue Baochai patiently said it again.

"Hey, it sounds familiar. There really is this person. Wait, let me think about it again, Wang Shihan, Wang Shihan."

Mrs. Xue was thinking incessantly. Xue Pan had just come back from outside. He pushed the door open and sat down carelessly. When he saw the tea bowl on the table, he picked it up and finished it with a "cluck".

"Oh, my son, where did you come from? You look so thirsty, have another bowl."

As soon as Mrs. Xue saw her son coming back panting from outside, she put aside what she was thinking and directly helped pour the tea.

"Oh, brother, you have to knock on the door next time you come in, okay? I'm talking to my mother!"

As soon as Xue Pan saw that his sister was a little angry, he immediately apologized, changed the subject and agreed;

"Okay, didn't I forget? I will definitely do it next time, definitely, by the way, mother, when I entered the room, I saw you talking about something?"

Seeing her son asking herself, Mrs. Xue remembered the business and said;

"This is not a letter from your uncle from the capital, saying that he is looking for a distant relative of the Wang family, named Wang Shihan."

"Oh, I know. Isn't this mother who kept talking about Aunt Wang when I was a child? She was from the tenth room of the Wang family in Jinling. How can I think of looking for her after more than ten years? I remember mother, you said that my aunt was gone.

Northeast. Hey! When it comes to Northeast, do you know? It’s a big deal.”

Xue Pan became excited when he said this and made another bowl of tea ceremony;

"I heard from the Jinling garrison master in the restaurant that after the Jurchens from the Northeast came, the young garrison general named Zhang Jinyu in Pingyang County was really awesome. He faced off against the Jurchen Khan Huang Jitai, and hundreds of thousands of troops fought for three days and three nights. Now,

This General Zhang was named a Marquis by the imperial court, and he was the military governor of Luoyun, and he commanded nearly 300,000 troops, my God."

Xue Baochai was also very surprised after hearing this. It was hard to imagine what it would be like for hundreds of thousands of people to fight against each other.

When Mrs. Xue on the side heard about the Pingyang County Guard General, her eyes widened in shock, and she suddenly remembered that she had come to say goodbye to her stunning woman.

The legitimate daughter of the tenth room of the Wang family, a fairy-like talented woman who lived in the Wang residence on the east side of Jinghu Lake in Jinling, caused a sensation in the entire Jinling city when she appeared.

"I remembered it and I know who it is. How is it possible? She and her son have both become marquises?"

"Mother, you should speak more clearly!"

Xue Baochai still didn't know why, and she didn't know who her mother and brother were talking about.

"Hey, my girl, listen to me, you were not born when your Aunt Wang left, and your brother was still young at that time. Oh my god, Pan'er, are you right? This great martial artist has a title

Prince of real power, this is no joke, these nobles have been controlling this great force since the founding of the country, this is weird!"

Xue Pan became anxious when he heard his mother questioning him.

"Mother, I really didn't lie to you. Now everyone outside knows, especially the garrison generals are jealous to death. The garrison young man has been talked about by his father every day these days. There is no way he can make a mistake. Mother, do you know anything?

?”

When Mrs. Xue heard Xue Pan's explanation and the sudden letter from the Wang family in the capital, she knew that the matter was closely related to what she thought.

I explained to my daughter Xue Baochai;

"Baochai, if I guess correctly, the mother of the Marquis your brother just mentioned may be Wang Shihan. No wonder the Wang family wrote to ask her about it. You, Aunt Wang, are not an ordinary person! At that time, the last head of the tenth house of the Wang family

After his death, she was the only legitimate daughter left, but she sold all her property and went north alone, and I remember marrying the garrison general of Pingyang County."

"Pfft."

Xue Pan spurted the tea out, frightening the mother and daughter to hide away.

"Mother, no way! Did you remember it wrong?"

"You karma, look where you are spraying it, you are not in the right shape."

Mrs. Xue scolded with some annoyance.

"Mother, are you serious? Is the Marquis' mother really her?"

Xue Baochai was also careless after hearing this. The Northeast trade line could be saved.

"You girl, why are you so anxious? What's the matter with you?"

"Mother, our Xue family has two main business lines, one is Northeast and the other is Jiangnan. What do you think? Do you still remember what tokens you had back then?"

"Yes! Mother, please think about it quickly."

Xue Pan also echoed from the side. Although he was fooling around outside, he also knew his family's lifeline business route, so he was also a little anxious.

"You two, why are you so anxious? Why did you go already? Besides, it's been more than ten years, and not many people in Jinling City know about her going to the Northeast."

"Let me think about it, that's right! Back then, she mortgaged a village outside the city to me. She said it was a mortgage but actually sold it. It seemed like she gave it to me for 30,000 taels of silver. I asked her where she was going, and she told me

I said "outside the customs", so I gave her another 10,000 taels of silver as a way of putting it into practice. She thanked her and left that night, and it was raining heavily that day."

Mrs. Xue actually remembered that Wang Shihan and two little girls went to the house to mortgage Zhuangzi. She also remembered that the leader of the Jia family's side house forced others to do small things.

Hmm! What’s troublesome seems to be that this matter was not reported to the capital at that time.

"By the way, one more thing, I almost forgot, she was forced to leave back then, not by herself."

Xue Baochai and Xue Pan were also stunned, no way, there are still people in Jinling persecuting the Wang family.

"Mother, don't talk nonsense. There are still people in Jinling persecuting members of the Wang family?"

Xue Baochai also reminded her mother to be careful what she said.

Mrs. Xue did sneer and said nothing.

Xue Baochai and Xue Pan looked at each other. This matter was troublesome. If they couldn't handle it well, they would become enemies.
