But it was said that Jia Huan had a sudden idea and pulled Qin Zhong and Xue Baoqin together, so he found a free day to discuss with Liu Aiyun. Liu Aiyun had a close relationship with Qin Keqing, and when he heard that it was her brother, he immediately agreed.
Jia Huan went to signal Aunt Xue again, but she was unwilling. Because Xue Baochai's son-in-law Jiang Zirong was originally the son of Pingyuan Hou Mansion, and Qin Zhong's father was just a small camp guard from the Ministry of Industry, she was afraid that others would gossip and value her own daughter over her own.
Niece. Coincidentally, someone came to the door in the past two days to suggest that a nephew of the Liguo Mansion, the son of Gao Hanlin, was choosing a wife. Aunt Xue thought to herself, if the other person who went to Mei Hanlin's family was still from the Hanlin family, wouldn't she beat the Mei family?
Face? It makes me a little tempted.
Jia Huan went to Liu Aiyun to inquire about the Xue family. He laughed loudly when he heard about it and said, "Isn't that Gao Hanlin's son the one who gave Cong'er such a big look in the Hanlin Academy?" Then he told them about their past.
When he went to the Hanlin Academy to compile a book, Jia Cong had a joke with Gao Hanlin's son. After hearing this, Liu Aiyun became even more displeased with this person. Because Xue Pan went to Ping'an Prefecture to check out the seafood street, he wrote a letter to tell Xue Pan to hurry up.
When they came back, the other party made a joke about the matter and told Jiang Zirong in detail based on their business dealings.
Jiang Zirong understood his intention and went to bring snacks to Aunt Xue that day. He and Xue Baochai had met many times in the past, but Aunt Xue was more polite and would not allow him to see each other since they had made up their mind to get married. But she might have Baochai in Shaping.
A shadow flashed behind him. Jiang Zirong glanced at Ying'er's head shaking on the side of the screen, and knew that Baochai was coming, and pretended to ask about Baoqin's marriage. Aunt Xue took the opportunity to tell the Gao family.
Jiang Zirong burst out laughing: "Is he just the white-eyed young man?"
Aunt Xue asked hurriedly: "What kind of white-eyed young man?"
Jiang Zirong said: "The young master of the Gao family made a joke in the early years, and we laughed for many years. But it has passed long ago, and people have changed, so there is no need to mention it again. It's just that the mother-in-law still needs to carefully check this person's temperament." After that,
Then he changed the subject.
How could Aunt Xue let go of his careless words? She quickly said seriously: "Zirong, Baoqin is your sister-in-law, and her life cannot be ambiguous. If you know anything, please tell me quickly."
Jiang Zirong said: "It's an old story, I don't know if it's worth mentioning." Then he recounted what Jia Huan said about the Hanlin Academy, and then said, "He was too proud at that time, and many people didn't like him.
, gave him the nickname "White-Eyed Young Master". But that day, the three young masters of the Jia family were all wearing ordinary clothes, and others thought they were children of poor families. It took many years to find out that they were from the Rongguo Mansion. Let's look back at this
His big eye rolls were a bit funny. Not to mention whether their family was richer than Rong Guofu, Gao Hanlin couldn't compare with She Gong. Before the chaos in the capital, She Gong took care of his children, grandchildren, and nieces.
How wise it is to take him away from the capital." Seeing Aunt Xue's hesitant expression, he added, "As the saying goes, a scholar should look at each other with admiration after three days of separation. Is it possible that the young master of the Gao family has grown up in the future?"
Aunt Xue asked: "Do you know what he is like?"
Jiang Zirong smiled and said: "We have never been together. Although I was born in a wealthy family, I was quite a playboy in my early years. Now I am a businessman. How can a scholar like me look down on a common man like me?"
Aunt Xue immediately remembered that the people in Rongguo Mansion looked down upon her daughter's background, and said unhappily: "What about merchants? Their family only got a daughter-in-law from a high family, and she was just a poor scholar in the past." Then she sent their family home.
Put it down.
After Xue Baochai listened behind the screen, she turned around and told her sister, "Such a family has a bright face and rarely has a good life even after getting married. They are no different from the Mei family. They rely on their relationship with the Liguo Mansion."
I'm afraid you're still a bit arrogant, dear."
Baoqin pursed her lips and lowered her head and said, "That's what my sister said."
Suddenly Xue Biao came back and discussed with Baochai: "Today I met the Liu family. He said that the Qin family is an only son. His father is over seventy years old and his mother died early." He stretched his head to Baochai.
He lowered his voice and said, "If Bao Qin enters this family, he will definitely be the head of the family. He doesn't have to serve his mother-in-law." He said seriously, "His sister is marrying Liu Xianglian, the second master of the lumber business."
Xue Biao had never met Qin Keqing, but Baochai knew him. He was shocked when he first met Liu Er's grandma. Asked her how these years have been, she said that she had long since returned to secular life and now manages the private accounts of the big house in Rongguo Mansion. Baochai
She only said it was rare, but she was horrified in her heart. The big house of Rongguo Mansion had a lot of business dealings with the Xue family. Although most of them were on Liu Aiyun's end, she knew a little bit about it. It was really a big deal. She also guessed that it would be inseparable.
Ten, her return to secular life must have been done by Rong Guo Mansion. She thought to herself, no wonder Ning Guo Mansion had a falling out with them. The two of them talked some more, and Baochai became more and more surprised. In the past, when the Xue family still lived in Rong Guo Mansion, they also
I once thought that although Grandma Xiaorong was smart, gentle, gentle and won the hearts of everyone, she was just a daughter-in-law. She was completely different from the dignified and powerful Grandma Liu in front of her. Later, there were some differences.
The more we interacted with him, the more I respected him as a person.
Now I heard that the young master of the Qin family was the younger brother of Qin Keqing, and I was satisfied for a moment. Suddenly I remembered that I had heard some gossip about him in the Rongguo Mansion in the early years, and I was quite hesitant. When I wanted to speak, I heard Xue Biao say: "What did Mr. Liu say?
He is extremely reliable, but I trust him."
After hearing this, Baochai also said: "I know Mrs. Liu, she is a very rare and decent person. It's just that a person can make a living, and a good sister may not necessarily be a good brother. Let's ask more."
When Xue Pan got the letter, he hurried back and discussed with Liu Aiyun, Xue Baochai and others. He also invited Jia Huan to have a drink and inquired carefully. Jia Huan knew everything and talked about it in detail, and even accepted some of Qin Zhong's favors.
Xue Pan and Liu Aiyun were not literati, so they took it back to Baochai and showed it to Baoqin. Baoqin was embarrassed to look at it at first, so he just sat on the edge of the kang and rubbed the corner of his skirt.
Baochai first took it over and looked at it carefully, and said curiously: "I have heard of this brother of the Qin family a few times in the early years. He said he was shy, but in fact he was a bit petty. Now look at it, his writing style is very impressive.
There is still a bit of weight. Not to mention the frivolous character of the day, but a bit young and mature." Thinking about what happened that day when his sister was forced to become a monk, the young Mr. Qin also became calmer.
Xue Pan smiled and said: "Liu Erlang treats his wife like a precious child. As the saying goes, he loves his wife as much as he loves his wife. I guess he treats his brother-in-law too well. Isn't it because a small family is poor? Now that his family is rich and he has gone to school, it is naturally different.
"
Xue Biao said: "It's just that it wouldn't be appropriate for their family to continue to be supported by Liu Erlang. Doesn't it mean that they don't have any property?"
Xue Pan said: "Yes, but most of them were bought for his sister."
Baochai said: "It doesn't matter if you are poor. As long as the family is good, it doesn't matter if we go with them in marriage."
Xue Pan stroked his palm and said, "It's true, Girl Qin's waist should be straighter!" He smiled again, "Today I have experienced wealth and wealth for once!" Everyone laughed when he said this.
Xue Pan then went to tell Aunt Xue about the Qin family's relationship. Aunt Xue heard that "the family is well off, has no mother-in-law, is reliable, and the children are motivated", so she didn't care about her slightly lower status. Besides, their family has gradually grown over the years.
Xue Pan has made the decision.
Then he took some of Baoqin's poems and gave them to Jia Huan, who quickly sent them to Qin's house. Qin Zhong looked at them without saying anything, secretly praising in his heart, "What a talent!"
Baochai hesitated again and again, and finally quietly told Baoqin Qin Keqing's identity back then, which scared Baoqin and opened his eyes wide. Baochai warned: "Don't let my mother know! She is getting older now, and she loves to think about things before and after.
"
Baoqin said: "Whether it is the second room in Ningguo Mansion or the second room in Rongguo Mansion, they can all be regarded as if they were nothing. The eldest room of the Jia family is the one who has the ability."
Baochai nodded repeatedly: "It shows that you are not confused."
Two days later, the peacemaker for the Gao family came to ask for Xin'er. Aunt Xue declined politely, saying that her eldest brother had already chosen a family for her. The man gave some more persuasion, and Aunt Xue only went to Xue Pan.
I thought the matter was over, but a few days later, another person came. This time, it was to marry the young master of the Liu family in the government.
Are you buying something at the market? You still have to bargain." Then Aunt Xue refused again.
When the woman came back the next day, what she said was a little strange. She said: "Miss Xue Er has a poem that says, 'If you are not by the plum blossoms, you are by the willows.' The marriage she mentioned earlier about the family named Mei did not happen.
!Now the surname of the Liguo Mansion is Liu, Mrs. Xue, look at what a coincidence! Doesn’t the meaning of Miss Xue Er’s poem mean that the Mei family cannot succeed and the Liu family will succeed?”
Aunt Xue didn't know what she meant. Seeing her expression as if she had a deep meaning, she asked someone to bring the matter in and tell Baochai. Baochai was shocked and angry, and said: "How could Girl Qin's poem fall into their ears?"
Go!" He quickly sent people to invite Xue Pan back.
The boy who went there arrived at Liu Aiyun's house and explained what their eldest daughter said one by one. Xue Pan was furious! Just about to lose his temper, Liu Aiyun said: "They must have bribed some servant of the Xue family, and they got Qin."
Let the girl's writing go."
Xue Pan said angrily: "How could I not know this! I just hate them for being so ridiculous and wanton." Then he ordered the boy, "Go home quickly and lead some strong boys to beat out the old godly woman who chews her tongue.
!”
The boy was busy looking at Liu Aiyun, who was just sitting there drinking tea. The boy understood in his heart and promised to fly back home. He held up Xue Pan's banner and called a group of boys to come, each holding a broom and a stick, and he took the lead.
Entering the living room, he couldn't help but hit the old woman who was still dragging Aunt Xue and chattering away. Aunt Xue was confused, and the old woman ran away screaming. Before Aunt Xue could recover, the woman had already rolled and been beaten out.
!The boys of the Xue family were all as happy as if they were celebrating the New Year.
When Xue Pan returned home, he first comforted Aunt Xue, and then immediately went to Baochai Courtyard and said, "Ai Yun said that the Liguo Mansion is obsessed with forming a family relationship with us, I'm afraid there is some reason."
Baochai said: "I know this. I only guessed it for half a day and couldn't figure out the root cause. The two families have never been in contact with each other."
Xue Biao said from the side: "Logically speaking, it was for money. It's just that when Fang Xiong was here, he ransacked many wealthy families, and the Liguo government didn't touch it. Why did they want to attack our family?"
Baochai thought to himself: "None of the men in their house are useful, so they are sitting on nothing. I heard that their money has been exhausted long ago. If it is just for money, it wouldn't be surprising. I'm afraid there are other reasons."
The brothers and sisters discussed it for a long time, but they just couldn't guess it, so that was all. The Liguo Mansion was disappointed but did nothing.
The Xue family then sorted through everyone from top to bottom. What a surprise! In addition to finding out a daughter-in-law who stole Xue Baoqin's poems for the Liguo Mansion, there were also various people who took advantage of others and worked as spies. Xue Pan gritted his teeth:
"For the time being, every family should remember that there will be a day of reckoning." So he sold all the slaves who had been living in and out of the house, and specially selected a man with a good reputation in the industry, and told them clearly.
These people are paid to inquire about the owner's affairs for outsiders. People have seen this kind of thing a lot, so they naturally use this to lower the price. Why does Xue Pan care about such a small amount of money? As long as these people are sold to the new owner, they won't get it.
That's good.
Later, Xue Pan personally took Baoqin to the Qingxu Temple for a ritual ceremony. By chance, Liu Xianglian also brought Qin Zhong to offer incense. The two young men met once in the main hall. Qin Zhong was handsome and elegant, and Xue Baoqin was bright and charming.
Everyone was very satisfied in their hearts. Xue Pan was so happy that he took Liu Xianglian to have a drink, and the marriage was decided. After reading the book, he chose to marry in March next year.
Aunt Xue used to worry about the difficulty of finding a home for her daughter and niece. Suddenly both of them were allowed to go out. She was so happy that she couldn't help but worry about Xue Pan and Xue Pan. She couldn't control Xue Pan and Xue Pan.
There is nothing you can do if you use Xue Pan to block it.
It was New Year's Eve in a blink of an eye. Gong Kun was still in his hometown and had not returned. He only asked Ma Xing to deliver a letter back to Taiwan, saying that he would celebrate the New Year at home. Since he and Lin Daiyu were each other's agents for many things, Daiyu complained for a long time and called Jia Cong back.
After scolding her for a while, she vented her anger. Jia Cong honestly hit and scolded her, but she just found it boring, so she let it go.
Tian Gengzi's father, Tian Mao, his wife and his two brothers hurriedly arrived at the New Year's Eve in Taiwan. They saw that their daughter-in-law was pretty and well-behaved. She used to be by Jia Cong's side, but now she was working in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
Satisfied, I am ready to hold a happy event for them in the spring.
Jia Xichun and Wu You had to spend the New Year away from home this time. The two of them wrote a letter about the Kingdom of Chen. The King of Chen, the second prince in the lead, had some tricks. Even without the tiger talisman, he conquered the soldiers and horses of the Kingdom of Chen. When Xichun went to sell his son, King Chen
He also asked the Lin family girl several times how she was doing now and whether she had a wife. It seemed that she had some unresolved feelings. To reject his idea, the steward Wu who was with Miss Jia Si quietly told a beautiful short man below King Chen.
Guard, Miss Lin has chosen a family and is preparing a dowry. When the guard heard this, his eyes lit up, he thanked him again and again, and even rewarded him with a gold ingot, which was five taels!
In Beijing, Prince Shui Rong of Beijing met Jia Zheng, the second master of the Rongguo Mansion, and invited him to a teahouse for a drink. He casually mentioned that he had a daughter who was about the same age as Jia Zheng's grandson Jia Lan. He also heard that Uncle Xiao Lan was young and talented, and was famous for his poetry.
He was much taller than an ordinary young man and wanted to get married. Jia Zheng only said that Jia Lan was too young and was not ready to discuss marriage, so he declined. Shui Rong didn't feel that it was a loss of face, so he said that we would discuss it in a few years. Jia Zheng was happy.
Xi returned home and rewarded Jia Lan with a fine inkstone.
Because his daughter was not around, Lin Hai had to go to Su Zheng's house to celebrate the New Year. He was very envious when he saw Su Cheng acting like a coquettish girl. After New Year's Eve, when Jia Huan came to Su's house to pay New Year greetings to the gentlemen, he sighed and asked:
"You're not going to Taiwan just yet?"
Jia Huan said: "There must be someone in the capital. If uncle wants to visit, please wait for a while. Cong'er will have to come in March."
Lin Hai sighed again: "I really miss Yu'er a little. That's all. I will go there with Cong'er next year."
Jia Huan smiled and clapped his hands and said, "You still miss your daughter, don't you? Hehehehe." Lin Hai stroked his beard and said nothing. Jia Huan added, "It's just that now that I'm gone, I won't be able to see you sir all the time."
Lin Hai turned to look at Su Zheng and said, "You better serve Mr. Su and don't make him angry."
Jia Huan curled his lips and muttered: "When have I ever made that old man angry?"
The bloody year has quietly come to an end. The world is falling apart, and the emperor is nowhere to be seen. When the new year comes, everyone in the world has no idea what night it is.
It wasn't until February that Gong Kun returned to Taiwan. He had lost a lot of weight. After hearing the news, Yuanchun only came over and glanced at him twice, then pretended to have something important to do and left in a hurry. This incident was a bit embarrassing in everyone's eyes.
There is no three hundred taels of silver here.
Jia Cong pulled Gong Kun aside and asked, "How is my first love?"
Gong Kun smiled bitterly and said: "She has completely changed her appearance! It's like she doesn't recognize her anymore. I have already placed her properly."
Jia Cong didn't ask in detail, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Walk over, there's another sunny day ahead." He didn't mention the incident in Yuanchun, but pushed him to go and take over things with Daiyu.
Gong Kun said: "I'm afraid the students can't help Miss Lin. It's already February, Lord, we should prepare to return to Beijing."
