Seeing the eager expression on Xue Baochai's face, Xue Pan chuckled. Baochai blushed in embarrassment and turned to look aside, ignoring Xue Pan.

Xue Pan then hurriedly told Shi Zhongkui about the so-called twins.

Aunt Xue slapped her thigh and said with a look of surprise, "This method is good, this method is good."

Xue Baochai thought about it, although there were still loopholes, Xue Pan wanted to appear openly and openly in front of the world in the future. On the one hand, it proved that Feng Yuan's death had nothing to do with Xue Pan, and on the other hand, it seemed that this was the only emergency method.

However, this method will inevitably put the judge Jia Yucun in a disadvantageous position.

In this case, Jia Yucun must be dealt with first.

It would be best for him to be dismissed from office. When the time comes to overturn Xue Pan's case, there will be no official resistance.

Thinking of this, Baochai couldn't help but feel gratitude and love for Shi Zhongkui.

Seeing that his always resourceful sister remained silent, Xue Pan knew that she also agreed with Shi Zhongkui's plan.

Both Xue Pan admired and those who cared about him agreed that Xue Pan had no scruples when doing things.

Then he told his subordinates that Jia Yucun's wife had died of illness and that he had rehabilitated his concubine.

Aunt Xue and her daughter immediately felt relieved when they heard that Shi Zhongkui asked Xue Pan to investigate secretly and report any information first before making a decision.

Compared to Shi Zhongkui, who had proven his infallibility several times, the mother and daughter were really worried about Xue Pan.

"Brother, why don't you go back to Jinling secretly? After all, this matter is too important, and I don't want to worry about the servants at home."

Aunt Xue didn't feel sorry for Xue Pan's hard journey this time. She nodded and said, "Pan'er, your sister is right, and mother is worried that if someone in the family is bribed by Jia Yucun, it will be troublesome."

Xue Pan, who was reluctant to go at first, suddenly became nervous when he heard this.

"How about I work harder, ride a fast horse and follow the 400-mile express service, and I can reach Jinling in 5 or 7 days."

"That won't work, my brother can't stand that tired one." Xue Baochai shook his head hurriedly, "It would be a bad thing if you fall ill when you arrive.

Moreover, taking a speed boat to travel through the canal, which takes 5 or 6 hours without stopping, is not much slower than a 400-mile horse ride."

If you take the express boat for 10 to 12 hours, you can still cover 300 miles a day.

The only trouble is that in mid-October, it is very likely that there will be a fleet of ships transporting autumn grain from the south to the north, and there may be congestion on the canal.

But it is much safer and more secure than a fast horse.

Xue Pan didn't think much about it. Hearing from his sister that he could walk 300 miles in a day, it would only take two or three days longer. He immediately wanted to take a boat without having to endure hardship.

After agreeing, he slapped his forehead and took the two boxes containing golden melon seeds to the table and opened them with a smile.

Baochai, mother and daughter, were just like Xue Pan before, their eyes were narrowed by the golden light.

"Sister, this box is given to you by Bo Qian as a reward for your servants."

Aunt Xue's expression suddenly became strange, and Baochai moved her position in shame, turning her back to the two of them without saying anything, and her ears gradually turned red.

Aunt Xue laughed and then asked Xue Pan, "Where is this box?"

Xue Pan said proudly, "I saw that the golden melon seeds Boqian used when he rewarded his servants yesterday were of excellent workmanship. I asked casually, and he said that he would give me and my sister one thousand each for daily expenses.

And after you use it, ask someone to tell him, and he will ask someone to send another one."

Aunt Xue was overjoyed to have both a son and a daughter. Doesn’t that mean that the son-in-law is as good to his future uncle and his future wife?

And this also proves that Shi Zhongkui does have quite a fortune.

Otherwise, even the Rongguo Mansion would not casually make thousands of golden melon seeds weighing a penny to reward their servants.

Of course, the most commonly used coins are copper coins, and only during festivals are silver melon seeds and silver melon seeds given as rewards.

Even ordinary families rarely see gold for several years or more than ten years, and most of them are broken silver and silver ingots.

However, Aunt Xue still asked cautiously, "Pan'er, so your son-in-law's family is really wealthy?"

Xue Pan said carelessly, "If mother asked others, it must be that the Shi family is trying to make a fool of themselves. Except for the Hu pens, Hui ink, rice paper, and Duan inkstones that I gave last year, even the seats in Boqian's study are ordinary.

things.

But if you look at Boqian's attitude towards Hui ink and rice paper, he doesn't feel sad at all and uses them casually. This is not how someone with a rich family dares to use it or can afford to use it."

"Moreover, he is more particular than the lady in his boudoir. He bathes every day and changes his clothes every day. The annual firewood money and clothes alone do a lot of damage."

I advised him to be careful about the cold, but he said that I didn't understand the benefits of it. After that, he would ask someone to put several stoves in the house before taking a bath.

He would only drink water that had just been boiled. If it was left on the stove to boil for half an hour longer, he would not drink it and would have it thrown away.

They say drinking this kind of water is not good for your health.

There is also food, which includes meat, eggs, fresh fruits and green vegetables, which are more exquisite than what I eat.

However, he doesn’t really like drinking. Every time I have dinner with him, I don’t even have to drink.”

Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai looked at each other with expressions of surprise in their hearts.

Being clean is a good thing for a wealthy family, and it's even better for a daughter's family.

It just costs firewood and manpower to boil water.

As for daily fresh fruits and green vegetables, once winter and early spring arrive, it will cost money.

But thinking about the money Shi Zhongkui puts in Baochai's house every month, even if he spends ten times more money, it doesn't seem to be a big deal.

Aunt Xue chanted "ancestors' blessings" again, while Baochai's heart was entirely focused on Shi Zhongkui.

Then the family happily began to discuss the details of Xue Pan's trip south. Finally, Xue Pan followed the advice of his mother and daughter and went to Shi Zhongkui again to discuss it.

Then, under the guise of going out on business, he secretly went south to find Xue Biao.

On the contrary, Shi Zhongkui might have to postpone his marriage to Xue Baochai for three to five years if something happened to Xue Pan. After thinking about it, he decided to let the Golden Mouse follow him.

Anyway, the Prince of Anle County was banned. It can be said that everyone in the Prince's mansion was almost cleaned up by the emperor.

The remnants of the former prince and Bai Lian's people in the capital were also killed and fled by the Xiuyi Guards because of the information secretly provided by the Golden Mouse.

They should not be able to gather them together in a short time.

And he is protected 24 hours a day by the wandering gods day and night. In addition, he is also considered to be successful in cultivation. He has bows, arrows, guns, fists and kicks that are not even close to the elites of ten or eight armies.

His own safety is guaranteed, but Xue Pan may become the target of others.

He even felt uneasy and called Liu Yu'er, a carp spirit who had been cultivating in Kunming Lake, to protect Xue Pan's boat all the way to prevent it from capsizing and causing an accident.

On the dock of Tongzhou Canal, Shi Zhongkui, who secretly sent Xue Pan off, solemnly handed him a jade pendant and said, "I have already told you about the other matters.
