160 160 Unjust Sin
◎Brother! Are you playing me?◎
Mo Yu followed Lin Ruhai to take Feng and Zhen Yinglian back to Beijing. They were going to go back to the Lin family's house.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they turned to the street in front of their house, they encountered someone blocking the road.
Mo Yu was drowsy in the carriage, but the sudden brake woke him up.
Lin Ruhai had already sent someone to check, and it turned out to be an acquaintance.
Xue Pan, who had not been seen for a long time, came to their doorstep to make trouble.
It is not accurate to say that he was making trouble. In fact, he felt that he had a serious job.
He has now changed his name to Jia Pan.
It was Jia Jing, the current old lady of Ningguo Mansion, who personally helped him change his name.
Mo Yu, Lin Ruhai and others were there when the boy was kicked out by the Xue family last time. Whenever he thought about it, he felt that the Xue family was indeed the Xue family. Such a matter as "real or fake young master" could cause a commotion in the family of relatives - they were not even relatives of the family, but the in-laws of his wife...
Just because of the relationship that went through so many twists and turns, it shouldn't be so noisy.
But thinking about the child's background, he felt that it seemed that such a commotion was understandable - who asked the four major families to have been intermarried for a long time, even if they were not intermarried, they could still have some connections in various ways.
As expected, no matter when, I always feel that the fake young master of Xue family is actually the illegitimate son of Jia family. This is too explosive, even the novel dare not write it like this...
Since Xue Pan is not the son of Xue family, he can no longer be surnamed Xue.
In Jia family, his generation should have been given a name with the character Wang, such as Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, Jia Zhu, etc.
However, Xue Pan is not a proper son of Jia family, but an illegitimate son of unknown origin, so it is not good to give him a name with the character Wang.
Not to mention that Jia Zhen and others feel disgusted, even Jia Jing himself can't take the lead in messing with his own family.
Fortunately, this old master Jing is a wonderful person - in the literal sense.
After all, he was born in a proper imperial examination family, not a scumbag, a prodigal son, or an ordinary person like the two cousins Jia She and Jia Zheng.
So his cultural accomplishment is still guaranteed.
Since he can't be called "Yu", why not just call him "Shitou" (?), just like an old man with an unexpectedly flexible mind.
It just so happens that there is a word that satisfies this situation - "Pan", which is homophonic with his original word "Pan" and implies the meaning of stone.
Jade, jade, isn't jade also a stone?
Moreover, this word "Pan" also means big and solid. If it is used as a name, it also has a very auspicious meaning. It is really suitable.
Jia Jing was very satisfied with his quick thinking and shared this joy with everyone.
Unfortunately, he was satisfied, but others didn't feel anything about it. Some
even felt very embarrassed.
First of all, this Xue Pan, oh, now called Jia Pan, was originally the legitimate son of the Xue family. Even if he was an uneducated playboy, he was considered to have mixed in the upper class circle when he was in Jinling.
Although the matter of the real and fake legitimate sons was later exposed, making him the legitimate son of the Xue family into the illegitimate son of the Jia family, but he couldn't resist the power of his halo as a major supporting role... It's probably the kind of person who is difficult to ignore, but it is absolutely impossible to make friends with him sincerely.
Why can't he be ignored?
In addition to his explosive identity, there is another reason, that is, every time everyone thinks that this guy should disappear from their sight, he will jump out and give everyone a "surprise".
This was later gradually comprehended by Mo Yu.
Thinking about this logic, it is also easy to understand. This big fool Xue is actually a very important supporting role in the original work.
It can be said that his image and life development trajectory are exactly the true portrayal of the decline of the four major families to complete destruction.
How glorious it was during the heyday of the four major families. It can be said that they were walking across the entire Jinling Province.
Even an ordinary doorman of the prefectural yamen can always take out a "talisman" from his body to sing praises to the four major families.
Such as "Jia is true, white jade is used as the hall and gold is used as the horse", "The Dragon King comes to find the King of Jinling", "Heavy snow in a good year", "Efang Palace cannot even hold a historian".
In short, just a few words vividly describe the overwhelming power and wealth of the four major families in Jinling City.
The Xue family is the Xue family with "pearls like dirt and gold like iron". Compared with the other three families with implicit power, the Xue family focuses on being rich.
After all, it is a royal merchant, so it is normal to be rich.
But it is not normal to be rich and have nothing else to do except being rich.
Because they were too keen on making money and did not pay attention to their children's education and resource accumulation, the Xue family finally became the first one to fail among the four major families.
Xue Pan's performance in the original novel is the most obvious manifestation of this point - no matter how bad the children of the Jia family are, they are at least able to read and write.
Not to mention Jia Zhu, who is a good candidate for the imperial examination.
Even Jia Zhen and Jia Lian, who are not well-known for their studies, can read and write, and deal with ordinary social etiquette and various errands.
But when it comes to Xue Pan, he can't even manage the family business, and as for reading and writing, poetry and songs, he can't even think about it.
There are also many chapters introducing this in the original novel.
For example, the famous, nonsense, shameless and vulgar "humming text" is the masterpiece of his master Xue.
Such a person is the only heir of the Xue family, one of the four major families.
His talents and abilities are not comparable to those of Jia Zhu and others, and even ordinary people cannot compare with him.
Not to mention that he has a very outstanding sister, Xue Baochai.
But in fact, Mr. Cao speaks in a sarcastic way, praising openly and criticizing secretly, and his real evaluation of this Miss Bao is not very good.
This is very ironic in itself.
To sum it up simply, the Xue family is useless, whether it is the seemingly terrible legitimate son Xue Pan, or the seemingly pretty good legitimate daughter Xue Baochai, they are not very good.
This situation is actually applicable to the entire four major families.
At this time, the original author's skill can be seen.
After reviewing the original work again in System 006, Mo Yu couldn't help but sigh again that this is really a classic masterpiece.
The amount of information in this short eighty chapters of the original work is really extraordinary.
There are all kinds of metaphors and ironies in the middle, and the clues are hidden for thousands of miles. Every sip and every bite is predestined. No wonder a discipline was developed in later generations to study the mysteries.
Of course, sighs are sighs, admiration is admiration, which does not prevent Mo Yu from eating melons and watching the show.
For the sake of convenience, he decided to call Xue Pan by his original name. The main reason was that he could not accept the setting of "illegitimate child" to some extent, and he had never thought that he would meet Xue Pan again one day.
The last time he saw this man was when his life experience was exposed and he was driven out by Xue Erye, the current patriarch of the Xue family.
Surprisingly, Aunt Xue, as his adoptive mother, did not show much emotion and let Xue Erye drive him away, as if the more than ten years of daily life before were fake.
There is no mother-son relationship at all.
Xue Baochai is the same, there is no touching brother-sister relationship.
It is indeed the cold-hearted and cold-blooded lineage of the Xue family. In addition to money and interests, he loves nothing. Well, from this point of view, he is quite loyal.
In the original novel, Xue Pan seems to be different from his mother Aunt Xue and his sister Xue Baochai. Although they are unbecoming, at least they still have some humanity in their hearts.
Whether it is Liu Xianglian and others whom he regards as real brothers, or his mother, sister, and even Lin Daiyu who has no blood relationship with him, he cares about them very much.
From this point of view, he is really not like a member of the Xue family.
If I must say, he is a bit similar to Jia Lian, so it is not very inappropriate for him to enter the Jia family.
The person sent by Lin Ruhai to inquire about the news quickly replied. It turned out that Xue Pan came to the Lin family today because he was sent by his adoptive father Jia Jing.
Since Jia Jing came to his senses last time, he has been very active in doing things since he entered his own Ningguo Mansion from Xuanzhen Temple outside the city to "cultivate".
However, even if he is obsessed with "cultivating Taoism and becoming an immortal", he is better than when Jia Zhen was the only one who had the final say in Ningguo Mansion.
The reason is that this person is a member of the imperial examination after all, and he cannot be said to be completely brainless.
Although he is obsessed with cultivating immortals, he occasionally has a brief moment of clarity.
At this time, he still thinks about life.
For example, the future of Ningguo Mansion.
In fact, if he had this intention, he would look for more in the several side branches of their Ningguo Mansion, and he would always find a few good seedlings.
To save the Jia family, it really depends on the imperial examination.
He was a successful case at that time. If it weren't for the many bad things that happened in his family, he would have accidentally seen through the world and went to Xuanzhen Temple to become a monk. It's hard to say whether Ningguo Mansion would have flourished under his hands. At least
, with him around, Jia Zhen wouldn't have let himself go so much, and Ningguo Mansion wouldn't have been so completely abandoned.
Now, he has turned back and thrown himself into the world again. Although it's a little late, it's not completely hopeless.
Originally, if he had found a child from the Jia family's side branch to train, it wouldn't be completely impossible. After all, there are many people in the Jia family. Among so many people, there are always children with poor family conditions but outstanding character and talent. If he can help them, it's unknown whether they can make a comeback in the future.
Jia Jing did think so at first, and he had even started looking for one.
It wasn't until he got crazy and had to adopt Xue Pan, who was driven out by the Xue family, as his son and train him carefully that this road to self-salvation was finally blocked.
What a joke, why do you have to raise this person when you can raise someone else?
Don't you know that this person is the most famous Xue Dashazi in the original novel?
Not only is he born naughty, he doesn't listen, he is unscrupulous, and he may even beat or kill people at any time because of a quarrel with others.
Thinking of the great achievements of Xue Dashazi in the original novel, Mo Yu couldn't help but want to shake his head and sigh.
I can't afford to offend him, I can't afford to offend him!
In a word, Xue Pan is the kind of naughty kid who can cause you to be exterminated.
I just want to ask you if you are afraid.
