Rongguo Mansion, northeast corner, Lixiangyuan.

In the front hall, Xue Pan stood solemnly at the foot of the hall, looking quite embarrassed, while there were two people sitting on the left and right in the hall, one was Xue Pan's mother, Aunt Xue, and the other was Xue Pan's uncle, Wang Ziteng, who made Xue Pan look embarrassed.

Prince Teng originally came to Jia's residence to express his condolences. He had met Jia Yun at the mourning hall before, but the two did not talk much. They only exchanged greetings. Then he came to Rongguo's residence to see the old lady.

After that, I came to Lixiangyuan to see my sister and my nephews and nieces.

Although Wang Ziteng is in his forties, his figure is as tall and straight as a pine tree, his momentum is as strong as the sun, and his eyes are as bright as cold stars under his sword-shaped brows.

Xue Pan lost his father when he was young, and Aunt Xue at home was always doting on him, which naturally developed Xue Pan's indulgent temperament, so that Xue Pan acted without scruples and was not afraid of anyone, so he was beaten to death in Jinling

Got people.

Although he was not afraid of heaven or earth, Xue Pan was extremely afraid of his uncle.

Wang Ziteng was not merciful in his discipline, even his doting Aunt Xue did not dare to speak.

Damn it, he doesn't want to see his uncle......

In the hall, Wang Ziteng chatted with Aunt Xue for a few words, and then looked down at Xue Pan, who seemed to be aware of it, and stood up straight, waiting for "reprimand".

Wang Ziteng glanced at Xue Pan a few times, and Xue Pan's cold sweat almost flowed from his forehead. At this moment, Wang Ziteng opened his mouth and said: "Pan'er, there are many honorable people in Beijing. In the future, you should act more restrained. If something goes wrong, I will

Break your legs."

Xue Pan nodded hurriedly when he heard this, promising not to do anything wrong.

Aunt Xue on the side saw this and hurriedly said: "Brother, Pan'er is much more well-behaved recently and has never caused any trouble."

Wang Ziteng heard this and said dissatisfiedly: "A loving mother often fails her son. If Pan'er has such virtue, you are also responsible."

Aunt Xue had no choice but to listen to Wang Ziteng's training. After all, he was her eldest brother. He had been taught by Wang Ziteng and could not retort. Apart from the friendship between brother and sister, the most important thing was that Aunt Xue was widowed and had no man to help her.

With the eldest brother Wang Ziteng taking care of them, how could the other branches of the Xue family allow their orphans and widowed mothers to make the decision...

After all, she is her own sister, and Wang Ziteng feels distressed when she sees Aunt Xue looking so helpless. After all, Xue Pan is her only hope in the Xue family, and there is nothing Aunt Xue can do except follow Xue Pan.

I saw Wang Ziteng telling Xue Pan: "I don't care about your ridiculous things in the past. In the future, you should be more calm and restrained. Don't cause trouble and make your mother cry."

What else could Xue Pan say at this time? Apart from agreeing, he didn't dare to say anything else for fear that Wang Ziteng would "train" him.

"By the way, brother, my sister has something to ask you."

Aunt Xue couldn't bear it when she saw her son's trembling appearance, so she started talking about business, so as to save Wang Ziteng from staring at Xue Pan and lecturing him.

Wang Ziteng took a sip from the tea cup on the table and asked doubtfully: "What's the matter?"

Aunt Xue glanced at Xue Pan, and then told Wang Ziteng about the matter of asking Xue Baochai to choose talents to praise, and asked Wang Ziteng for his opinion.

After hearing this, Wang Ziteng looked at the quiet Xue Baochai in the hall, who was deep in thought. After a long time, Wang Ziteng asked: "Bao girl, what do you think?"

Xue Baochai replied: "My uncle makes the decision in everything."

As the so-called "mother is my uncle," Xue Baochai expressed his attitude in a simple sentence.

And in fact, Xue Baochai's opinion is not important.

Wang Ziteng nodded when he heard the words, satisfied with Xue Baochai's answer. As Xue Baochai was so knowledgeable and reasonable, Wang Ziteng was very satisfied with this niece. She was much better than the troublesome nephew. It was a pity that Xue Baochai was born as a girl. If not, Xue Baochai would

My aunt will not let Xue Pan, an only son, do whatever she wants.

After pondering for a moment, Wang Ziteng said: "If you have a father-in-law in the palace who can help me, I might as well give it a try."

Hearing this, Xue Baochai felt calm, but Aunt Xue's eyes lit up and she hurriedly said: "Brother thinks it's feasible, then there's no problem."

After a pause, Aunt Xue asked again: "Brother, you have been an official in the capital for many years, do you know who Princess Leping is? If she has a bad temper, my sister will not dare to send her daughter in."

Wang Ziteng raised his eyes and looked at Xue Baochai, who was dignified, quiet and beautiful.

After pondering for a moment, he then said: "Princess Leping is the youngest daughter of the Supreme Emperor, the younger sister of Prince Ning's mother. She has been favored by the Supreme Emperor since she was a child."

Hearing what Wang Ziteng said, Aunt Xue's eyes became more and more eager. After all, if she was a princess that no one cared about, which young lady from a wealthy family would be willing to suffer.

"but................"

Wang Ziteng frowned slightly, and Aunt Xue immediately became nervous when she saw this, and asked hurriedly: "Brother, is there something wrong?"

Wang Ziteng shook his head, and then said: "I heard that Princess Leping is very naughty. She wears "military uniforms" all day long and has nothing like a girl. Therefore, Princess Leping's reputation is not very good. The ministers of the DPRK

They don't want to send their daughters to the palace to study, because they are afraid of affecting the family's reputation."

Aunt Xue came back to her senses after hearing this, frowned and said: "What does eldest brother mean..."

Everyone else is worried about the family's reputation, isn't the Xue family also worried?

Wang Ziteng replied nonchalantly: "It doesn't hurt to give it a try. After all, it's my daughter's family, so it's not worth taking it as a big deal. It's just those mean-spirited scholars who care about these things."

Although the Xue family has a reputation from its ancestors, it has been passed down to this day as a home of merchants, and the situation is becoming increasingly grim. A little fame will not hinder anything.

Moreover, Wang Ziteng has a foreign surname, so he cannot always take care of the Xue family. After all, if he is chosen, he will have a backer in the future, which will also be beneficial to the Xue family.

Aunt Xue nodded after hearing this. Since her eldest brother said she could give it a try, there would be no problem. After all, Wang Ziteng had always taken care of her sister and would never harm her.

Then Aunt Xue lowered her head and said to Xue Pan down the hall: "Pan'er, you also heard what your uncle said. If that's the case, then you go and have a talk with Mr. Dai Haosheng and ask him to help him. What's the benefit?

It can’t be short of him.”

Xue Pan heard this and responded hurriedly: "Mom, don't worry, my son understands."

After a pause, Xue Pan hesitated and said: "However, Eunuch Dai also said that he is just a favor. Whether it will work or not depends on others."

Xue Pan still had to be careful when talking about this. If it didn't work out, Wang Ziteng might blame himself for not being able to do it.

In order to avoid Wang Ziteng's punishment, Xue Pan's IQ kept rising.

Hearing this, Wang Ziteng said in a deep voice: "Because of this, I think I can give it a try. If Eunuch Dai takes over everything, then I won't accept the matter."

When it comes to choosing talented people to appreciate, it would be convenient if there was someone in the palace, but it would be strange if a eunuch took over everything.

When did the praise of people have to be appointed by a eunuch? All they can do is provide some convenience.

Just like jumping in line, or saying a nice word or two in front of a noble person...

After a pause, Wang Ziteng said to Xue Pan: "Just go and try. It will be good if it works, but if it doesn't, it won't be a big deal."

When Wang Ziteng said this, Xue Pan's heart immediately relaxed and he hurriedly responded.

Xue Baochai on the side saw Wang Ziteng and others finalizing the matter. Although he wanted to say something in his heart, after thinking about it carefully, he finally sighed...
