Jia Lian intervened at the right time, "Baoyu doesn't need to emulate others' ambitions to destroy his own prestige. My dear brother Boqian praised your talents very much.

Otherwise, why would a great talent like him send his poems and calligraphy to the Taoist government for your appreciation?"

Jia Mu was stunned and felt happy, "Is there still such a thing?"

Jia Baoyu said a little shyly, "Brother Boqian is a humble gentleman. He said he was appraising, but he just saw that the child had some knowledge and wanted to give him some advice."

Now let alone Jia's mother, even Jia Lian looked at Jia Baoyu with an incredulous expression.

In the past, not to mention being willing to be taught, there was no teacher that Jia Baoyu could like.

This also made Jia Mu regret even more.

After that, Baoyu felt a lot more relieved. When Baoyu knew that the person Baochai was going to marry was someone he admired, there wouldn't be too much trouble.

-----

Jia She and Jia Zheng came out of Jia Mu's house and saw many people gathered outside. Jia Zheng frowned, and Jia She directly scolded them.

"Brother, do your business first."

Hearing Jia Zheng calling him eldest brother, Jia She was surprised and at the same time felt proud, and walked out quickly.

When I came to Lixiang Garden with my boy, I was surprised to find Xue Pan bowing to Xia Shouzhong repeatedly and saying thank you.

Oops, I'm late.

Jia She and Jia Zheng thought at the same time that the matter must have been discussed, and Xue Pan might have agreed as soon as he heard it, otherwise they would not have come out of the lobby together so quickly.

"I've seen Duke Pardon and Duke Zheng."

After receiving thousands of taels of silver notes, I even got a promise from Xue Pan that when the matter was completed, he would add another 3,000 taels of silver.

Xia Shouzhong was very satisfied with Xue Pan at this time, and his attitude towards Jia She and Jia Zheng also improved a lot.

Jia She and Jia Zheng hurriedly returned the greetings and asked, "Does the Prime Minister have important business here?"

"It is a good thing, a great thing to pardon the public and put the government at ease."

Xue Panxiao's eyes were dazzled, and he nodded and said, "Hahaha, it is indeed a good thing, a great thing."

When he first heard that Xia Shouzhong was looking for him, Xue Pan thought that his errand at the Ministry of Household Affairs was about to disappear, or that the Ministry of Internal Affairs was dissatisfied with the items purchased by the Xue family.

When you feel uneasy but can't find anyone to discuss it with.

Xia Shouzhong first passed away as Xue Pan's biological father. Xue Pan did not inherit the official position of Ziwei Sheren and did not meet the selection criteria, so he rejected Xue Baochai's entry into the palace.

Comparing the Qing Dynasty, girls of suitable age from the emperor's court must be selected to serve as maids or female officials in the palace as soon as they reach the age.

Ziwei Sheren is also called Zhongshu Sheren. Although his official position is from the seventh rank, he is directly under the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

And what he did was help the emperor purchase local jobs.

It can be said that he is definitely the confidant of his confidants.

But Xue Pan only held a position in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and his status suddenly dropped by a thousand miles.

Even if we really care about it, he is just a short-seller with no job, not to mention that Xue Pan is still carrying a life lawsuit, and he himself has become a black man because Jia Yucun sentenced him to death.

It can be said that if someone beat him to death in the street at this time, his death would be in vain if he went to the government.

He wanted to send Xue Baochai to the palace as a princess, but he didn't even have the qualifications to serve as the princess's entrance attendant.

So after Xue Pan heard this, he thought Xia Shouzhong was looking for him just because of this matter. Although he felt regretful, he could not help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

But I didn’t expect the surprise was yet to come.

Xia Shouzhong hinted several times, but when Xue Panyumu didn't understand, Xia Shouzhong cursed in his heart.

Some words are difficult to say clearly, and they can be understood without saying them clearly, and no one dares to go against the emperor's wishes.

But when he met an idiot like Xue Pan, Xia Shouzhong thought for a while and finally decided to say it clearly, lest he didn't speak clearly enough and let this guy misunderstand.

If something goes wrong in the end, you will be in trouble.

He drove the servant away, whispered in Xue Pan's ear, and picked out some words to clarify the matter. At the same time, he also added some of his own words to deceive Xue Pan.

Xue Pan had always been very fond of Shi Zhongkui, and his mother and sister Baochai also mentioned it several times, mistakenly thinking that their own mother and sister also treated Shi Zhongkui differently.

At this time, I heard that the emperor wanted to let the Xue family and Shi Zhongkui get married for the sake of his own father's past achievements.

Firstly, it shows that the hero has not been forgotten, and secondly, he has a close relationship with the Xue family of the royal family, and can appease and win over Shi Zhongkui, who is both talented and virtuous.

It was considered as killing three birds with one stone, and Xue Pan agreed as soon as he heard it.

This made Xia Shouzhong feel better about him. After all, everyone likes obedient and knowledgeable people.

And Xue Pan agreed. In addition to the King of Heaven and the Emperor, it was useless even if Wang Ziteng, his uncle, and Jia Zheng, his uncle, disagreed.

Even Aunt Xue's objection was of no legal use.

Xia Shouzhong was overjoyed, but thinking of Xue Pan's unreliable rumors, he couldn't help but ask again. He felt relieved when he saw Xue Pan patting his chest to assure himself.

Of course, Xia Shouzhong didn't need to worry. After all, this was the emperor's wish, but he couldn't stand up to the misdeeds of Xue Pan's past that Xia Shouzhong's men had collected.

For errands, I asked again.

Moreover, because Xue Pan's voice was a bit loud, Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai, who were eavesdropping behind the screen, couldn't help but breathe heavier when they heard Xue Pan promising Baochai to Shi Boqian, which immediately made Xia Shouzhong aware of it.

After thinking about it for a moment, Xia Shouzhong smiled as he understood.

He began to exaggerate what happened at the farm of the Duke of Tuiguo during the day today, and told it to Xue Pan openly, but secretly to Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai.

Xue Baochai blushed as if she was drunk, but the more she listened, the faster her heart beat, and her feet seemed to be nailed to the spot, unable to move.

Aunt Xue was so ecstatic that she kept chanting in her heart, "Master bless me, ancestors bless me" and so on.

As for Xue Pan, he had a proud expression on his face. When he heard something wonderful, he laughed out loud as if what Shi Zhongkui did was done by him.

Xue Pan, who said the last thing, felt that his sister was really worthy of Shi Boqian.

He asked in a low voice, "Sir, do brothers Boqian know about this marriage?"

Xia Shouzhong rolled his eyes at Xue Pan and secretly scolded Xue Pan for being uneducated and incompetent. At the very least, he should have called himself 'father-in-law' or 'internal minister' instead of an adult.

But this sentence made Xia Shouzhong feel very happy.

“Our family heard that your sister’s muscles and bones are smooth, her beauty is fragrant, her manners are elegant, and she is talented and knowledgeable.

Even if Shi Boqian had some talent and learning, he was from a poor family, so why wouldn't he want to.

Besides, the king, master, master, and father of heaven and earth all agree, so there is no room for him to speak."

"That's not right, that's not right. It's best to tell Brother Boqian first."

Seeing that Xia Shouzhong's face slowly turned gloomy, Xue Pan reacted and waved his hands hurriedly, and repeatedly slapped himself in the mouth and apologized.

If it had been anyone else, Xia Shouzhong would definitely have thought that this guy was despising himself as the Prime Minister and the Emperor, but Xue Pan's overbearing character and the few slaps in his face made the corners of his mouth bleed.

He also thought that Shi Zhongkui's master, Pang Shitong, dared to play tricks on the emperor. Although the emperor said he didn't like Pang Shitong, Xia Shouzhong knew that the emperor liked Pang Shitong very much in his heart.
