The Soldier of the Red Mansion

Chapter 129 Mrs. Wang Knows
Zhu Zhen thought that Wang Xin was young and hot-headed and unwilling to give in. Since he couldn't convince him, he planned to go back and talk to his own general. Being a man of honesty, he didn't say much and only said a few words before leaving.

Wang Xin saw Zhu Zhen getting into a sedan chair and leaving at the camp gate. The soldiers carrying the sedan chair were all skinny.

I feel bad too.

Zhu Zhen has a soft personality. People like him would probably behave differently in a different environment. So in many things, he can only lower his standards and just take care of his own world.

Being poor cares themselves, being wealthy cares the world.

As he was leading a battalion alone, of course he had to build the Hexi Camp according to his own wishes.

But as Zhu Zhen said, if you are not envied by others, you are a mediocre person.

If you want to do something practical, you will inevitably offend people, just like the current situation.

The same was true when we fought against the Japanese pirates in Yangzhou.

Wasn’t I later driven to the capital?

Unless he doesn't care about anything else, he has connections anyway. His current position is very important even among the four major families, and he is qualified to exchange resources.

However, the ending of the four families was not good.

Also, the situation will change again after the emperor takes power.

Fortunately, he is still young and has his own unique advantages. He can take it slowly. After all, he is not the one in a hurry at the moment, so he is not panicking. Wang Xin is sitting back and not thinking about it anymore.

Then there was Xue Pan.

Xue Ke studied hard in his study. Over the years, Xue Pan grew older and became more sensible. When it came to his sister's marriage, he gradually became more serious about it, from being casual at first.

So he left the house, got in the carriage, and drove all the way to the Xue family's business.

The Xue family business is named after the royal merchant.

"Young Master, where did this come from?" When General Manager Zhang Dehui heard someone tell him that Xue Pan was coming, he hurried out to greet him with a smile, with a look of surprise on his face.

"I came over to see you. I have something I need to inquire about with the General Manager." Xue Pan did not dare to neglect the General Manager. This was the General Manager, not an ordinary shopkeeper. Seeing the doubtful look in the General Manager's eyes, he explained, "I heard that my second uncle said there was a business deal with the Beijing Camp."

So that's what it was.

Zhang Dehui led Xue Pan in and told him everything.

"What is Wang Xin like? What does General Lan think of him?" Xue Pan had no idea. Knowing the ability of his general Lan, he actually asked him.

Zhang Dehui was a little surprised and asked, "Which aspect do you mean?"

Xue Pan couldn't say anything, so he mumbled a few words, which made Zhang Dehui even more confused.

Suddenly I had a flash of inspiration.

Looking carefully at the young master's face, Zhang Dehui understood what was going on. He didn't point it out, but after thinking for a moment, he said seriously, "General Wang Xin is young and promising, very capable, and a good person."

"Is that all?" Xue Pan felt it was not enough.

Zhang Dehui said no more.

He thought it was good, but you can't judge a person by his appearance. Who knows what will happen in the future? What if he said all the good things and something went wrong in the future, wouldn't he be blamed?

Now, saying a few nice words that are not actually practical can be considered as my attitude.

He is a good person, but Zhang Dehui cannot guarantee that he can become a good son-in-law of the Xue family's eldest wife.

Xue Pan was upset because he didn't hear what he wanted to hear from General Da Lan, so he went straight to the Hexi Camp.

"Is your general here? Go and tell him that Xue Pan from the Xue family is here to visit."

Xue Pan, riding a horse with his entourage, said at the camp gate, "Someone has been coming to see the general every day these days."

Yesterday, Zhu Zhen was the clerk of the right wing. Many people recognized him and he was from the right wing army, so he did not need to be informed and could go in directly. Today, Xue Pan was an outsider, so he had to wait outside.

It was Xue Pan's first time to come to the military camp, and he was very curious.

He waited obediently outside the camp, craning his neck to look inside.

After a while.

Two people came and led Xue Pan in.

Xue Pan walked and watched, and was about to ask when he suddenly heard a greeting from a distance. He looked up and saw a man in casual clothes, tall, with a pale complexion and a smile on his face.

Wang Xin didn't expect Xue Pan to come to see him.

What does he want from me?
Wang Xin was confused, but thinking of his business with the Xue family, he gave them a good face and took the initiative to come out to greet them.

Xue Pan was in his early twenties, three years younger than himself.

He was registered in the Ministry of Revenue and was also the head of the Xue family, so Wang Xin called out, "Brother Xue Pan, how come you have time to come today? Please come in quickly."

Although Xue Pan had been playful since childhood, he was not shy about socializing. He smiled politely and said, "I should have come to see you a long time ago. Firstly, I didn't want to interrupt you. Secondly, the war broke out suddenly, and you led your troops south. I have been delayed until now. I hope you will forgive me."

"What a crime."

Wang Xin laughed.

The Jia family lost their substance, and the Xue family lost their face.

But compared to the Jia Mansion, Wang Xin values ​​the Xue Mansion more because of the Xue Mansion's business network. People who understand business networks know how valuable they are. Rebuilding a business network is not an easy task.

The reason I think this way is because of Lin Ruhai.

With Lin Ruhai around, the Jia family no longer plays a big role, and Lin Ruhai can help him handle some things.

"I've already inquired about the company, and the general manager said he's arranged for a shopkeeper to lead the team through Datong. It's estimated to take two or three months."

Xue Pan looked at Wang Xin as he spoke.

This man's demeanor and appearance are much better than Baoyu's, and he is worthy of his sister. Xue Pan nodded secretly.

Wang Xin was happy in his heart, as he could enjoy the shade under the big tree. Although the four major families were now supported by Wang Ziteng and were not as prosperous as they used to be, a lean camel was still bigger than a horse. Buying a horse was no simple matter.

Wang Xin said sincerely, "I hope this will be done as soon as possible, but I also understand the principle of business. I have been preparing for the specific details of what the Xue family wants. I didn't expect the Xue family to take the initiative to do it first, which makes me feel a little embarrassed."

With Wang Xin's call, Xue Pan felt satisfied and said with a smile, "We are one family and we don't have to talk behind each other's backs. If it were someone else's request, we would have to get what we deserve. Now that it's my brother's request, of course we should follow the first principle."

Wang Xin didn't expect Xue Pan to be so eloquent.

I remember that he was beaten up by Liu Xianglian and felt embarrassed to continue staying in the original circle. Then he went to do business with his own caravan and became sensible. In the end, he became friends with Liu Xianglian, which shows that he still has the ability to speak.

Xue Pan met Wang Xin and the favor was settled.

Leave with satisfaction.

Tell my mom as soon as you get back.

"Wang Xin, there's nothing wrong with him." Xue Pan didn't see his sister, so he spoke hurriedly after seeing his mother.

Aunt Xue frowned anxiously.

Xue Pan didn't understand and continued, "This guy is very handsome and talented, he surpasses Baoyu." Xue Pan spat out a mouthful of tea, and saw Mrs. Wang slowly walking out from the inner room with a cold face.
