Chapter 544: Shouren and Baochai talk about saving people
"This is your sister Baoqin."
Seeing Baoqin get off the carriage, Xue Ren's eyes flashed with relief. He has a son and a daughter, his son Xue Ke, and his daughter Xue Baoqin. Of the two children under his knees, he prefers his daughter.
Of course, the girl herself did not disappoint her. Whether it was how she treated people or acted, she was deeply influenced by her. She followed her all over the world these years, and she never complained about her hardships.
When Xue Pan saw Bao Qin looking over, he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. Without him, his sister was so beautiful.
Even though he was used to seeing stunning beauties like his own sister, he couldn't help but feel a sense of surprise in his heart.
"Meet my sister",
"Baoqin has met his brother."
The two of them greeted each other, and Xue Pan quickly got out of the way and welcomed them in.
In the courtyard, Aunt Xue and Baochai had been waiting for a long time. When they saw someone coming, they hurriedly stood up.
When Baochai met Baoqin, she had a certain affinity. The two girls were both orchids and jade trees, and they had the appearance of a moon-shy flower. They were both talented, and they were courteous and courteous, making communication even more comfortable.
"How many days did it take for my sister to walk? But she came along the canal?"
"It's been half a month. We originally planned to come along the canal, but there were officers and soldiers guarding the canal, so we had to go overland. As for whether it took twenty days or twenty-one days, I don't know.
So sure.”
Baochai took Baoqin to the inner room, leaving the outside to her mother and brother. Aunt Xue should not have stayed outside, but her husband passed away and she was not at ease with Xue Pan, so she had to do this.
Of course, this was because she was coming from her own family, otherwise she would not have received her foreign husband.
"Sister-in-law!"
Xue Ren bowed his hands and formally greeted him.
Aunt Xue nodded. She didn't have much feeling for Xue Ren. When her husband was still alive, Xue Ren was away from home all year round, traveling around for business. They met very rarely.
"Shouren, please sit down quickly!"
Xue Ren's nickname is Shouren, which means to keep benevolence and righteousness. This is what Mr. Xue asked his second son to do.
From a family that has been in business for generations, when the business becomes big, many people will be keen on doing charity. There is actually something special about this.
The old saying "No business without brilliance" originally meant that when doing business, one must operate sincerely and with integrity. However, as time goes by, this "no business without guile" has become "No business without guile". If you enter the mall without a plan in mind,
They will only become lambs to be slaughtered.
If you want to survive in a shopping mall, calculation is indispensable. Some people end up becoming neither human nor ghosts. It is not uncommon for such things to happen.
The most powerful evidence is that very few of those who have rich families can die well in the end.
When faced with a difficult fate, most of these businessmen would set up tents to provide porridge, perform charity, and seek peace of mind.
Back then, Mr. Xue had accumulated such wealth in just a few decades, and there were also many dirty tricks in it.
But those methods have to be used. Sometimes taking a step back leads to an abyss, surrounded by wolves, and there is no choice at all.
So he left the ups and downs of the business world to his eldest son, but he didn't teach his younger son much. He just wanted him to be able to keep the bottom line in business in the future.
At worst, both sons would not be involved.
Decades have passed in the blink of an eye, and now, probably in compliance with Mr. Xue's expectations, Xue's father died young, but Xue Ren stayed. If there is no luck in this, it is definitely not the case.
Aunt Xue took advantage of the situation and asked Xue Ren to sit down. Aunt Xue also knew about Xue Ren's intention from the letter before.
"Now my sister and her mother are honored by their sons. The eldest girl has been granted the title of concubine and will come to visit the bride soon. The Duke's palace has also become more and more wealthy. The things Shouren entrusts are probably not difficult, but the matters in the palace
, it is the old lady who makes the decision, and Shouren needs to go see her."
Xue Ren nodded when he heard this, but he was still quite curious when he heard about the concubine.
I couldn't help but ask: "Sister-in-law, which girl in the family is the concubine? The family is truly blessed with great grace and endless blessings!"
Hearing this, Aunt Xue smiled.
"She is the eldest daughter of Mr. Jia Zheng and the daughter of my elder sister. Her name is Jia Yuanchun. Not only was she born on an excellent day, it happened to be the first day of the new year. She was also trained by the old lady herself.
In addition, because of her good looks, she won the respect of the saints in the palace and became a noble concubine."
Xue Ren's eyes flickered twice. What Aunt Xue said was all true, but some were not entirely true.
Although he was not in the capital, the events between the imperial concubine and the champion had long been spread.
When Jia Qi returned to Beijing, he took action for the first time. I heard that it was because of this imperial concubine who called him brother.
As for what happened later, he had no way of knowing, but judging from his many years of experience in business, he definitely had something to do with the world-famous champion.
"I heard that my family has a close relationship with Champion Hou?"
Aunt Xue suddenly narrowed her eyes and looked at Xue Ren.
Her brother-in-law was not as innocent as she thought, and her words just now probably made the other party hear something.
It is true that Jia Qi's full support is indispensable for Yuanchun's appointment as a concubine, and it may be one of the most important factors. However, here, the Duke of Rongguo is not in a position to talk about this, especially the old lady and her own sister.
I don't want to hear this.
"The Champion Marquis was born in Dongfu. He is a concubine of a branch. He worked for a living in Dongfu in his early years. Later, he joined the army and became what he is today. Speaking of which, I don't know much about the relationship between him and the two houses. However,
My sister-in-law reminds you that the old lady doesn’t like to talk about him at home.”
Xue Ren remained calm, but the tea cup in his hand moved a little too slowly, almost scalding himself.
Obviously, this news was beyond Mr. Xue's expectation.
Xue Pan, on the other hand, was a little angry. He had almost been chopped into pieces by those bastards some time ago, but the Jia family couldn't do anything about it. Later, Jia Chu came forward and saved his life.
On weekdays, he wandered around Washegoulan and met all kinds of people. He often heard rumors that if the Jia family had not had the champion as its backer, it would have collapsed long ago.
The noble lineage in the capital has been beaten from beginning to end by Jia Qi, and even the head of the family has been changed. No matter how powerful the Jia family is, can it be compared to Zhenguo Zhengyi Guogong? Aren't those two families also taking advantage of it?
Jia Qi had no idea at all.
This is a bastard thing that those drinkers said when they were bragging, but Xue Pan felt that it was not wrong. At least some people in those families had real power. What about the Jia family? It was not like he had just come to the capital before? Experience
After several life and death catastrophes, he also understood a lot.
So Xue Pan muttered to himself.
"hypocritical!"
Aunt Xue said something to Xue Pan angrily.
"You dare to talk nonsense in front of your uncle!!"
At this moment, Baochai from the back room pulled Baoqin and walked out. Baochai first gave a blessing, and then said: "I heard from sister Baoqin that my uncle saved a person on the road and he was seriously injured?"
