Red Mansion Taoist

Chapter 77 Xue Pan
  Jia Qiang felt a faint mental influence, but this mental influence was not as overbearing as the lame Taoist, and it was most likely just Yunfei's innate ability.

Because when Yun Fei spoke, Jia Qiang's game screen did not block this mental influence. If it was intentional, the game screen would not ignore it.

"I've heard about Master Yun for a long time, and I was thinking about going to Jinling to meet him someday. It's such a wonderful fate, but we met here!" Xi Jinge shook his paper fan lightly and said with a smile.

A little girl brought tea, and the four of them sat outside, talking to Yun Fei through the bamboo curtain.

Jia Qiang was a little confused. She said she came to meet the first courtesan in Jiangnan, but was this a meeting?

But he saw that Xi Jinge, Zhang Ximing, and the somewhat impatient Huang Zhiyuan were all accustomed to this situation.

Next, Jia Qiang was even more surprised. Yunfei was extremely knowledgeable in poetry and prose, and she had a great time chatting with Zhang Ximing and Xi Jinge.

Jia Qiang would sometimes add a sentence. After several years of study, his attainments in poetry and prose were only at the examination level. It was really impossible to compose poems casually.

Of course, he really wanted to write poetry. There were many poems in the memory of his previous life that had never appeared in the world of Red Mansions, but that was for him to prepare for future exams, not to deal with this situation.

"Stop the boat!" Just as the conversation in the boat was in full swing, a loud shout came from outside.

"Girl, there is a boat blocking the boat outside!" Mammy came in and reported.

"Hang the Wang family's flag!" Yun Fei said calmly from inside the bamboo curtain.

From the Wang family of the eight major salt merchants, it seems that Yun Fei is truly protected by the Wang family. Huang Zhiyuan's information is correct.

Neither Zhang Ximing nor Xi Jinge looked very good-looking. Their family backgrounds were considered top-notch in Yangzhou. They felt that they had lost face when someone disturbed their interest, especially in front of a beautiful woman.

But Yunfei is capable of handling it, and it's not easy for them to push forward.

Instead, Huang Zhiyuan stood up and walked to the deck.

"Come here, stop that boat for me!" Unexpectedly, the Wang family's flag was hung, and the other party still didn't show any respect.

Yun Fei, who was inside the bamboo curtain, did not expect that the Wang family's reputation had lost its effect in Yangzhou.

The Eight Major Salt Merchants are not simple. Most of the people in Yangzhou depend on the Eight Major Salt Merchants for their livelihood, not to mention the influence of the Eight Major Salt Merchants in Yangzhou.

Zhang Ximing and Xi Jinge stood up together. Although they knew that the other party must have some insistence on not giving the Wang family face, in this case, they had to step forward.

"I am Huang Zhiyuan, who are you?" Huang Zhiyuan asked loudly while looking at the approaching ship on the deck.

Huang Zhiyuan is a smooth person, otherwise how could he make friends with scholars.

After seeing that the other party ignored the Wang family's flag, he had no intention of being tough with the other party.

There are two possibilities for ignoring the Wang family's flag. One is that they don't recognize the Wang family's flag, and the other is that they don't care about the Wang family, so they ignore it.

But no matter which one it was, Huang Zhiyuan didn't want to have an immediate conflict. The main reason was that there were several strong men on the other side's ship, and besides himself, they were either scholars or women.

If a conflict really breaks out, they will most likely be thrown into the lake while on the boat, and their lives may be lost.

"I am Jinling Xue Pan. I heard that Yun Fei, the most famous prostitute in the south of the Yangtze River, is here. Call her out quickly and let me have a look!" A young master wearing a brocade robe among several strong men said loudly.

"But the eldest young master of the Xue family in Jinling?" Huang Zhiyuan's expression changed slightly, and he asked, clasping his fists.

"Do you know me?" Xue Pan looked at Huang Zhiyuan and seemed to have no impression.

"I have heard of the name Xue Pan of Jinling. There are also Young Master Zhang Zhizhou, Yangzhou Xi Jinge, and a Young Master from the capital here. Why don't you come over and sit with us!" Huang Zhiyuan invited with a smile.

Xue Pan on the opposite side seemed to be thinking, but there was no tension as before.

"Everyone, Xue Pan is one of the top tyrants in Jinling, and is nicknamed the 'Foolish Overlord'. The Xue family has a deep background and amazing financial resources. It's best not to make enemies!" Huang Zhiyuan turned to several people and said softly.

"I agreed. Why don't you move the boat over quickly? I want to see what the first courtesan in Jiangnan looks like!" Xue Pan just thought for a moment and said loudly.

The boat was connected to the boat, and Xue Pan jumped on the boat, causing the boat to sink.

"I wanted to meet Yunfei when I was in Jinling, but I never found the chance. This time when I came to Yangzhou and heard that Yunfei was here, I rushed over. Where is Yunfei?" Xue Pan asked loudly as soon as he got on the boat. road.

Jia Qiang looked at Xue Pan amusedly. His reputation as the Overlord was not wrong at all. No wonder he would beat people to death in conflicts.

I just don’t know if that thing will happen if Xue Tong is still alive.

"Don't scare everyone Yun, let me introduce these people to you first!" Huang Zhiyuan quickly grabbed Xue Pan and said.

No matter how rude Xue Pan was, he knew that he had to at least give face to the first few people who came first. Besides, as for Zhang Zhizhou's son, the Xi family in Yangzhou was considered a powerful person with some status, so he didn't want to offend him too much.

"This is Zhang Ximing, this is Xi Jinge, and this is Jia Qiang from the capital!" Huang Zhiyuan introduced to several people.

Xue Pan nodded at first, roughly clasping his fists to indicate.

But when he heard about Jia Qiang in the capital, his eyes widened to their maximum size and he looked at Jia Qiang carefully.

"Why, does Brother Xue know Brother Jia?" Huang Zhiyuan asked hurriedly, not knowing what Xue Pan meant.

"But Uncle Jia in person?" Xue Pan asked Jia Qiang.

"You are Brother Xue Tong's eldest son?" Jia Qiang asked with a faint smile.

"As expected, it's Uncle Jia. My nephew Xue Pan is kowtowing to you!" Xue Pan was sincere, kneeling down no matter the occasion.

This time he was sent to Yangzhou by his father Xue Tong to handle some affairs. After Xue Tong arrived, he went to visit Jia Qiang together.

It's just that he was very playful. Hearing the name of Yun Fei, the first prostitute in Jiangnan, he hurried over.

"Nephew Xue Xian, get up quickly!" Jia Qiang stretched out her hand to help Xue Pan and said.

"Father will come to Yangzhou in two days. I'm here to stand in front of him. I didn't expect to meet my uncle first!" Xue Pan touched his head and laughed innocently.

Huang Zhiyuan's eyes almost dropped. Looking at Xue Pan's appearance, he didn't look like a Jinling tyrant.

When he looked at Jia Qiang again, his eyes were completely different. He used to think that Jia Qiang was just Lin Ruhai's disciple, but now it seemed that Jia Qiang had a very deep background, otherwise how could he get Xue Pan to take him so seriously.

Even the head of Jinling’s Xue family has to come to visit in person. In terms of wealth, the Xue family may be a little worse than the eight major salt merchants, but in terms of influence, Jinling’s Xue family has many strengths in addition to its own influence. The powerful relatives make the Xue family very powerful in the Jiangnan area.

"Since you're here, let's go in and sit down!" Jia Qiang said with a smile when she saw that Xue Pan was no longer causing trouble.

"Uncle, please invite me first!" Xue Pan said with great respect.

Xue Pan was extremely grateful to Jia Qiang because Jia Qiang cured his father's illness. Xue Tong only told his family about this and told them not to spread it.

Xue Pan may be a little generous in other matters, but when it comes to his relatives, he is truly concerned.

He knew that if Jia Qiang hadn't treated him, his father's illness would not have lasted a few years. His father also told him personally that Jia Qiang was his uncle, and he must be treated as an elder when meeting him.

Xue Pan is here, everyone takes a seat.

"Why doesn't Yun Fei give uncle face? There is a curtain across the room. It's so unpleasant to watch!" Xue Pan said with some dissatisfaction after sitting down.

"Brother Xue, this is the rule of Mr. Yun. As long as you impress Mr. Yun with your poems and essays, Mr. Yun will leave the curtain!" Huang Zhiyuan said with a smile.

"Uncle, do you like this Yun Fei?" Xue Pan asked Jia Qiang softly.

It's just that his soft voice was not soft at all, everyone in the room heard it anyway.

Jia Qiang didn't know how to answer him. If he hadn't just recognized his nephew, he would have pretended not to know him.

"Uncle, you don't need to say anything, I understand!" Xue Pan said with a smile when Jia Qiang didn't answer.

Jia Qiang wanted to ask him, what did you understand, but she just didn't want to mess around with Xue Pan anymore and let him go.

With the addition of Xue Pan, the original atmosphere was no longer there.

If Jia Qiang hadn't stopped him many times, Xue Pan would have thrown away the bamboo curtain.

Just when everyone felt that it was boring and planned to end today's trip to Huafang, Huafang was shocked again.

"Who are you? What do you want to do?" Nanny shouted from outside, followed by a crisp slap and Nanny's scream.

"What day is it today? Why do I always get into trouble when I go out to play!" Huang Zhiyuan shouted dissatisfied.

Xue Pan felt that Huang Zhiyuan was connoting him, and glared at Huang Zhiyuan.

"I'm sorry, go out and see who's causing trouble!" Huang Zhiyuan said with a smile.

He was very confident now. Huafang was protected by the Wang family, he was from the Huang family, Zhang Zhizhou's son, the Yangzhou Xi family, and the Jinling Xue family. He couldn't think of anyone else in Yangzhou who would dare to offend him at the same time. them.

Huang Zhiyuan went out first, followed by Jia Qiang and others, and came to the deck.

At this time, everyone saw another big ship next to the boat. On the deck of the boat, Momo fell to the ground, bleeding from the corners of his mouth. In front of them stood a bearded man.

"The Jinling Zhen family is doing business, and anyone who has nothing to do with it should stay away!" The bearded man looked at the crowd and said in a deep voice.

Hearing that it was Jinling again, several people turned their attention to Xue Pan.

"Xue Pan of Jinling is here. When did the Zhen family reach out to Yangzhou!" Xue Pan said proudly while gesturing to the several strong men on his boat, holding out his belly.

"Xue Pan, why are you here? The Xue family and the Zhen family are close relatives. Are you going to help outsiders?" someone said on the big ship.

This person is a steward of the Zhen family in Jinling. Originally, Yun Fei's matter was not a big deal, so Yun Fei just didn't want to hide.

But Yunfei found the Wang family for protection, making the Jinling Zhen family seem to be afraid of the Wang family.

The Jinling Zhen family is very proud. Before, it was only a matter for the fifth young master of the Zhen family, but this time it was for the sake of the Jinling Zhen family's face that they had to take Yun Fei back.

"Yunfei is attracted by my Uncle Jia. Uncle Jia's business is my Xue family's business!" Xue Pan refused to give in and replied loudly.

"Who is in the Jia family?" the steward of the Zhen family asked, clasping his fists towards the boat.

Compared to the Xue family in Jinling, the Jia family has a closer relationship with the Zhen family, so the Zhen family manager would ask this question.

The reason why the manager of the Zhen family thought it was the Jia family, just think about the relationship between the Xue family and the Jia family, and you will know which one of the Jia family in the capital can be called uncle by Xue Pan.

"This is my uncle Jia Qiang!" Xue Pan introduced loudly before Jia Qiang could speak.

When the steward of the Zhen family standing on the big ship heard Jia Qiang's name, his pupils shrank sharply.

The name Jia Qiang is a great insult to the Zhen family.

Because of Jia Qiang, the third master of the Zhen family was imprisoned for many days, which greatly affected the Zhen family's reputation in the capital.

"Let's go first!" The manager of the Zhen family had no intention of paying attention to Yun Fei's matter, so he waved his hand and ordered.

The most important thing for him now is to send back the news about Jia Qiang in Yangzhou.

As for taking action against Jia Qiang at this moment, he has no such plan. Jia Qiang has a very close relationship with the Jia Mansion in the capital, and he is also a student of the Imperial College. If he really wants to take action against her in public, the subsequent troubles will not be small, not for a little guy like him. The steward can withstand it.

Such matters need to be decided upon by the masters of the Zhen family after discussion. Taking actions rashly will make the masters unhappy.

"Brother Jia, is your name really so scary?" Huang Zhiyuan looked at Jia Qiang and asked.

Zhang Ximing and Xi Jinge also looked at each other strangely, looking at the two waves of people looking for trouble.

Xue Pan knelt down on the spot, and the even more terrifying Jinling Zhen family immediately retreated after hearing the name.

"Brother Jia is from the Jia family in Rongning Street, Beijing?" Zhang Ximing asked.

"I just have some connection with the Jia family, not a member of his clan!" Jia Qiang shook her head and replied.

Zhang Ximing obviously didn't believe it, but he didn't ask any more questions.

One thing is certain, that is, Jia Qiang is definitely not easy to mess with.

Huang Zhiyuan's eyes were bright, and he decided to make a good friend of Jia Qiang. If he made good friends with Jia Qiang, it might bring a layer of help to the family.

"Why did you leave without fighting?" The only one who didn't feel anything was Xue Pan, who called several thugs over.

"Thank you, Mr. Jia, for your help!" When Jia Qiang and others returned to the room, the bamboo curtain was rolled up. Yun Fei looked at Jia Qiang with a sweet smile and said with a blessing.

"No need to be polite, it's just a little effort!" Jia Qiang was shocked by Yun Fei's appearance, but she quickly recovered and said with a smile.

With the development of information in later generations, there are so many beauties that he can see through various schemes, which makes him have a disposition towards beauties that is beyond that of people in this world.

He secretly glanced at the others. Zhang Ximing and Xi Jinge's eyes flashed with surprise, but there was no hint of urgency.

On the other hand, Huang Zhiyuan, who was anxious before, had clear eyes and was not fascinated by Yun Fei's beauty. His previous eagerness seemed to be intentional.

Come to think of it, the son of the Huang family, one of the eight major salt merchants, has seen and seen far more than ordinary people, and he has seen many beauties.

The funniest thing was Xue Pan. His big eyes wanted to look at Yun Fei, but he was afraid to look at her.

He glanced furtively, then quickly looked away, pretending not to look.
