The Red Mansion En Xiaohou

Chapter 58 Xue Qiu
"This has nothing to do with whether your painting is good or not. It's just that you, a big brother, can't do such a thing."

Lin Daiyu corrected Jia Shan's wrong thinking with a serious face.

Jia Shan bowed her head in silence.

Since Dong Zhongshu deposed Confucianism as the sole respecter of Confucianism, all walks of life have formed the so-called three religions and nine streams in the long history of China.

Among them, the three religions are Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, the ninth stream is Baigong, and the other hundreds of schools were short-lived during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

As a result, all walks of life are divided into high and low.

Jia Shan looked down at the comic in her hand and sighed deeply.

Seeing Jia Shan's lost appearance, Lin Daiyu rubbed Jia Shan's head with her hands to express her comfort.

Lin Ruhai and Jia Jing followed Xue Biao to the home of the elder brother of the Xue clan in Yangzhou, which he said.

"My lord Lin came to pay a respectful visit, and Xue Qiu was far away to welcome him."

Before I saw him, I heard his voice first. Xue Qiu, the current head of the Xue family in Yangzhou, heard that Xue Bian brought Lin Ruhai and Jia Jing to visit, and went out to greet him in person.

I saw Xue Qiu in front of me, eight feet tall, with a face as thick as a jujube, and a long, black beard that was very eye-catching.

Xue Qiu saluted Lin Ruhai Jiajing.

Lin Ruhai kindly helped Xue Qiu up.

"Brother Qiu."

Xue Qiu greeted Xue Qiu.

Xue Qiu patted Xue Tada on the shoulder.

After being slapped, Xue Qiu grinned and avoided Xue Qiu's next slap.

Xue Qiu was taken aback.

Xue scorpion hugged Xue Qiu with a hippie smile.

"Third brother, let it go. Your slap is too hard. If it hits my body, I really can't bear it."

Xue Qiu laughed.

"Brother, you should really practice with your fragile little body."

"Nephew Xue Qiu has practiced it before."

Lin Ruhai took the initiative to talk to Xue Qiu.

Xue Qiu saluted Lin Ruhai again.

"Master Lin has good eyesight. I have indeed practiced some running back and forth on the river."

After finishing the ceremony, Xue Qiu smiled boldly.

Seeing the carefree man in front of him who acted neither humble nor overbearing, Lin Ruhai and Jia Jing felt a little more favorable in their hearts for no reason.

Xue Qiu personally invited Lin Ruhai and Jia into the house, and the four of them sat down to chat.

No matter what Lin Ruhai said.

Xue Qiu was able to cope with it with ease.

Lin Ruhai and Jia Jing looked at each other.

The idea is a bit tough. This Xue Qiu seems careless and careless, but in fact he is a piece of meat.

Facing Xue Qiu like this, it is better to get straight to the point than to say a thousand words and ten thousand words.

"Nephew Xue Qiu, does he know whose hands control the salt now?"

Lin Ruhai went straight to the point, and Xue Qiu's expression changed.

"Nowadays, the salt merchants are colluding with the officials, and selling illegal salt has become a serious disaster. This is why this old man came to find you."

Xue Qiu spoke in silence.

"What does Uncle Lin want me to do?"

"Help me introduce the Weng family."

Xue Qiu immediately got up and sent someone to see the guests off.

Looking at Xue Qiu who didn't show any face in front of him, Lin Ruhai was a little puzzled.

Just asked him to help introduce, why such a big reaction.

Lin Ruhai still didn't understand the rules of the road.

Lin Ruhai, who didn't want to give up, stopped Xue Qiu.

"My nephew really doesn't want to help."

Xue Qiu looked at Lin Ruhai like this and sighed deeply.

"Uncle Lin, forgive me. It's not because Xue Qiu doesn't want to help. It's because there are rules on the road. If it were for other things, Xue Qiu's gang would help, but Xue Qiu can't help with this matter."

"Nephew Xue Qiuxian is willing to listen to what the old man has to say."

On the way here, Xue Biao had already disclosed Xue Qiu's details.

Xue Qiu in front of him is brother-in-law with the Patriarch of the Weng family.

Lin Ruhai didn't believe that Xue Qiu in front of him couldn't help.

It's just that he doesn't want to help.

As Lin Ruhai thought, Xue Qiu, who didn't want to add trouble, already had an impatient look on his face.

"Third brother, you might as well listen to Uncle Lin."

Xue Biao uttered a voice to help Lin Ruhai.

Xue Qiu's eyes fell on Xue Qiu.

The words of the young patriarch Xue Biao still work.

Because of Xue Biao's face, Xue Qiu sat down even though he didn't want to listen.

Lin Ruhai spoke out their plan calmly.

A gleam of light flashed in Xue Qiu's eyes, which quickly dimmed again.

As Lin Ruhai said, his brother-in-law really wanted to dabble in the salt business recently, but cooperating with the imperial court was no less than seeking skin with a tiger.

Lin Ruhai looked at Xue Qiu sincerely.

Xue Qiu couldn't make up his mind, so he had to dismiss Lin Ruhai and the others first.

on the carriage,

During the conversation just now, Xue Qiu's expression changes could not be hidden from the three people in front of him.

The three of them started a discussion around Xue Qiu.

"Brother Jing, do you think Xue Qiu will help us?"

Jia Jing shook his head towards Lin Ruhai.

He didn't know anything about these folk gangs, let alone guessing their thoughts.

Lin Ruhai sighed deeply. It was the first time for both of them to step into an unknown new territory.

Xue Biao, the only mentor, is only half-knowledgeable.

Xue Biao suggested that Lin Ruhai send someone to watch the gate of the Xue family in Yangzhou to see if Xue Qiu would go to the Weng family.

Finding this is half the battle.

Lin Ruhai shook his head and refused.

Xue Qiu is a good martial artist, and his skills should be quite high.

He sent someone to watch, in case Xue Qiu found out, there would be trouble again.

Jia Jing agrees with Lin Ruhai.

Back to Lin’s house,

Jiashan comics spread in a small area.

The Lin family's housekeeper handed over Jia Shan's comics.

Lin Ruhai, who was worried about the Weng family, took the Jia Shan manga handed over by the housekeeper, glanced briefly and put it down.

"Daiyu is fine at home."

Lin Ruhai asked about Lin Daiyu's situation.

"Miss, everything is fine at home, sir."

"Grandma Rong and Fourth Master Shan went to play with Miss today, Miss had a great time."

Lin Ruhai nodded and asked the housekeeper to pay more attention to Lin Daiyu.

Now the only bloodline left in the entire Lin family is Lin Daiyu.

Even though she is a daughter, Lin Ruhai still pays close attention to her.

Because of the relationship between Lin Daiyu and Jia Shan, Lin Ruhai asked the housekeeper about Jia Shan again.

Mentioning Jia Shan, a smile appeared on the housekeeper's face unconsciously.

Lin Ruhai saw the butler's emotions in his eyes.

The butler reported to Lin Ruhai, focusing on Jia Shan's comics.

Lin Ruhai, who didn't pay much attention to Jia Shan's paintings, curiously picked up Jia Shan's paintings and looked at them.

Journey to the West, just looking at these two words, Lin Ruhai is not that interested.

Lin Ruhai looked down patiently.

The more I watch it, the more it deviates from the original style of Journey to the West.

The corners of Lin Ruhai's mouth twitched uncontrollably, and soon Lin Ruhai finished reading the three chapters Jia Shan drew today.

"Any more?"

Lin Ruhai asked subconsciously.

The butler gave a wry smile.

"This Fourth Master Shan has only painted three chapters."

A look of disappointment flashed across Lin Ruhai's face.

Picking up the manuscript on the table and looking back and forth, after reading it three times, Lin Ruhai suddenly looked up.

"Did Daiyu read it?"

The butler nodded towards Lin Ruhai.

"Miss has seen it a long time ago, and now she is forcing Fourth Master Shan to draw the following."

Lin Ruhai gave another instruction, reminding the housekeeper not to let Jia Shan get lost in playing with things and delay her studies.
