Rikain.
As soon as Xue Pan mentioned Wang Ziteng, he was extremely disgusted.
This is not only because he is afraid of his uncle's control, but also because Wang Ziteng has been playing with Xue's family all these years.
To say that the prince has a high position and power, and is the head of the Wang family, he must have a lot of money in his name, but at his level, the expenses are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Xue Baochai saw that Xue Pan's mouth was unrestrained, so she quickly stopped her and said: "Brother, don't say a few words, if outsiders listen to this, uncle will have another opinion!"
After a pause, she saw that Xue Pan fell silent, so she continued: "We must have a charter for today's matter. I discussed it with my mother just now, and we will move back to our own house tomorrow. As for me..."
The Xue family naturally has a house in the capital, and there are more than one.
The reason why they wanted to live in Jia's mansion before was because Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Wang are sisters. They haven't seen each other for many years, so they live closer so that they can talk about themselves.
The second is that Xue's family intends to marry Jia's mansion and live in Jia's mansion first. It is more convenient to manipulate the public opinion of Jia's mansion to test the attitude of Jia's mansion.
Last but not least, Xue Pan is arrogant and unrestrained, he often causes troubles, and even beat someone to death for Xiangling in Jinling.
After arriving in Beijing, Aunt Xue wanted to use Wang Ziteng, Jia Zheng and other elders to restrain Xue Pan to avoid further troubles.
For some reason, the Xue family temporarily lived in the Lixiangyuan in Jia's mansion.
Seeing that her daughter was sad, Wang Xue said with a frowning face, "Son, although your affairs are urgent, you can't be in a hurry. Although Jia Yun promised to marry you, we can't hurry up and go?"
Xue Pan bluffed and said, "Then I'll go to Brother Yun's house later and make an appointment with him first. I don't think we should delay this matter for too long, lest we have long nights and dreams."
In fact, he really wanted his sister to marry Jia Yun. Although Jia Baoyu was his cousin, Xue Pan really looked down on him.
Xue Pan wanted to go to Jia Yun, although Xue Wangshi and Xue Baochai felt it was wrong, they did not stop him.
You can't wait for Jia Yun to propose marriage, what if he thinks that the Xue family doesn't like him and doesn't plan to ask a matchmaker to propose marriage?
Therefore, it is necessary for Xue Pan to make a statement in the past.
back street.
When Jia Yun returned home, she realized that not only Zhou Kun was here, but also more than a dozen of her classmates in Beijing.
They didn't make a special trip to visit Jia Yun, but because their wife Zhao Jin was ill, so they made an appointment together, intending to visit Zhao Jin, and diverted to inform Jia Yun.
Zhao Jin is sick, it's okay for a student not to know, if he knows, he will naturally go to see it.
So Jia Yun was kind, and after exchanging pleasantries with everyone to understand the general situation, she hurriedly went to the warehouse to choose some gifts to bring, and then went out with Zhou Kun and others.
On the carriage, Zhou Kun took a few dishes from the food box and put them on, and said with a smile: "I was playing outside today, and I didn't have time to eat lunch, so I was pulled out. It's just right now, brother Yun will accompany you." I'll have a few drinks."
Jia Yun was speechless. Since the first day he knew Zhou Kun, this guy had been drinking. He didn't expect to go to see Zhao Jin today. He would still drink when he was so serious.
"Is it appropriate to go to the Master's house smelling of alcohol later?" Jia Yun asked.
Zhou Kun laughed and said, "Why is it inappropriate? This shows that we are going to visit him sincerely!"
"There is a saying that Lei Gong doesn't beat the diners, we were dragged away at the banquet, and we didn't even care to get rid of the alcohol. Isn't that showing our concern for Master?"
"Sophistry!" Jia Yun shook her head and smiled, then said nothing more, and accompanied Zhou Kun to drink and eat in silence.
Zhao Jin lived in a farm outside the city, and the journey was not short, so the two had plenty of time to eat and chat.
"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, how is your house living now?" Zhou Kun asked.
Jia Yun smiled, took a sip of her wine, and said, "It's okay. Compared with the old house, it's better. I don't know where it is. The only thing is that it's too big. There are not many people in the house. It's a bit empty and quiet. Cool."
Zhou Kun raised his eyebrows and said, "Nobody can go to the city to buy it. You can buy it outside the city, but they are all refugees who escaped. Although the price is cheap, the slaves sold in the city are easy to use."
Jia Yun said unhappily: "You think I don't want to buy it, but you don't think about my current status. I am a grassroots person. How can I have the qualifications to support servants?"
"Tch! In this world, who cares so much?" Zhou Kun shrugged and shook his head, "Brother Yun, I found that you are too honest and serious, and to put it mildly, you are too rigid and old-fashioned!"
Jia Yun frowned and said, "You say I'm honest, I admit it, but you say I'm rigid and old-fashioned, where do you say that?"
"Hehe, you're not happy after I said it, and you don't even look at it. Now the stewards of those big families are all servants themselves, but they also have maids and servants..." Zhou Kun laughed.
Jia Yun didn't wait for him to finish speaking, she waved her hand and interrupted: "These words are so unreasonable, those servants who are in charge of things don't care about their future, don't I?"
"One more thing, the servants they raise are basically black households. Even if they have household registration, they are all affiliated with the master's family. Once there is a change, it is possible for the slave to bully the master."
Having a household registration and not having a household registration are two different things.
Although a servant sold himself, if he had a household registration, it was private property. Even if he was killed, the government would only fine him a few taels of silver at most.
But if the servant is from a black family, that is, without a household registration, or the household registration is in someone else's house, it is usually fine, but if there is a change in the master's house and the servant wants to rebel, the consequences will be unpredictable.
The two were talking on the side, and the time passed quickly.
Nearly an hour later, the convoy stopped at the gate of a manor.
In the past, Jia Yun only knew that Zhao Jin was a juren, but knew nothing about his family's situation. Now, after seeing this manor with a large area, a good location, and many fertile fields, she knew that Zhao Jin's family background must be extraordinary.
The snow started to fall again, and the rice fields and ravines were covered with snow. At a glance, the sky and the earth looked like an ink painting.
Compared with other people, Jia Yun and Zhou Kun didn't study in Qingshan Academy for a long time, so the older one led them to Zhao Jin's residence.
Zhao Jin lived on the hillside of a hill in the manor and could only walk there.
Along the winding stone ladder built of bluestone, everyone climbed up on the snow with great care.
Fortunately, there are handrails on both sides of the stone ladder, otherwise it would be really hard to say whether they could walk up with helpless scholars like them.
On such a road, Jia Yun is walking on the ground, but he adheres to the principle of keeping a low profile, so he and Zhou Kun are far behind.
After walking a few steps, Zhou Kun stood still out of breath, and said: "Just now I heard from my brother that my master was born in the Zhao family in Yidu, Qingzhou. The Zhao family is a famous family of officials. , It has only declined a little in recent years, but the foundation is still there, and Baobuqi will rise again someday."
Jia Yun nodded and asked curiously, "Compared to the Zhao family and the Li family, which one is stronger?"
Zhou Kun pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It's hard to say, each has its own merits, they are all famous eunuch families, and their family management ideas are different..."
