Chapter 755 Xiangyun is engaged, Lin Zhao is a guest
After hearing his wife's cry, Shi Ding gasped in anger and said for a long time: "Madam, I have been wronged. That's all, let's just be busy with our own affairs first. When our work abroad is settled, our whole family will be together."
Follow me and take up my post, and we will make plans then. Since she loves to stay there, let her stay there for a long time. Anyway, with the old lady here, she won't suffer much."
Where can it be so simple?
Mrs. Shi complained in her heart, but she wiped her tears and said with a sad face: "I would like her to live at home anyway, but if I think about it carefully, the old lady is the only one who is willing to do this marriage, and Baoyu's
The biological parents haven't agreed yet. Especially the second sister-in-law in the mansion, who said it was the one in the palace who said it, and Baoyu is still young. So what else is there to say? With those words from the palace,
Is it possible that our family is rushing to discuss marriage?"
"Madam, what you said makes sense. Do other people in the capital have good children?" Shi Ding was also very worried.
When it comes to foreign affairs, officialdom, or family affairs, Shi Ding is certainly not the one to mention.
But when it comes to matters involving deep residence, Shi Ding is naturally not good at it, so he can only listen to his wife's opinion.
Even if we know whose young master is outstanding, we only hear that he is good at socializing and doing well in errands.
Who knows what it's like at home.
You still have to rely on the ladies to inquire.
Mrs. Shi sighed: "The Jia family is no longer good. As for other families, I have seen a lot these days. I wonder who in the capital doesn't know about the things that this girl has done? I only keep them on my face."
It's just affection, but if we really want to marry, how can those who are good and well-informed be willing? The rest, even those who are willing, are either from bad family backgrounds, insufficient status, or bad character.
It's always hard to get what you want. Now that something like this has happened again, those who were willing before are afraid that they won't be willing now."
Shi Ding sighed and said for a long time: "What do you mean by Mrs. Yi?"
A glimmer of light flashed in Mrs. Shi's eyes, but her face was still sad, and she said: "I think that in this situation, a family with a rich family background will not be able to survive. Then let's take a step back. There are many people that I know.
A family from Xinrong? They have been through hardships before, are used to being in public, and are not that particular about their words and deeds. Naturally, they won’t care about what Yun Yatou did before. Let’s choose the legitimate son of a family with a clean family background, high status, and a lot of money.
, choose a good boy who has good character and knows how to make progress, preferably somewhere closer to our home, so that we can be considered as doing our best for Girl Yun."
Shi Ding pondered for a long time and said: "Madam, what you said makes sense. When you say this, I think of a person. Jiujiang Jiedushi, Ye Yuntian's second son, I have met him. He is a good boy who knows how to make progress, but only Ye
Your Excellency entered the official career late, and his old mother and first wife’s background was really poor, and she was not very popular. Their eldest son’s marriage was also hastily decided at first, with the daughter of a wealthy businessman. Later, he entrusted me with it.
I regret it. Now I am marrying the daughter of the Mei Hanlin family, who is a good match for me. He also told me about getting married. I thought about finding Yun Yatou in the capital, but I didn’t respond. Now in this situation, their family
It's more appropriate. That's all. I'll write to him tomorrow and ask him. When this is confirmed, you can pick up Yun Yatou. No matter how much she doesn't care about the past and they really get engaged, she can't let her do whatever she wants. If
If any gossip spreads after the engagement, we won’t be able to see anyone anymore.”
Mrs. Shi smiled gently and said: "If it is really decided that I will return to the old lady, I will naturally have to restrain Yun Yatou from embroidering the dowry at home and learn the rules. How can I let her be willful again?"
Shi Ding nodded and said, "Madam, you still understand."
A night without words.
The next day, Shi Ding indeed sent a letter to the Ye family. The Ye family admired the power of the Shi family, so they were naturally overjoyed and hurriedly responded.
As soon as Mrs. Shi received the news, she immediately went to Jia's house in person, picked up Xiangyun, and said that she would prepare various things and never let Xiangyun go out. She also beat all the servants, and they were not allowed to serve for Jia again.
Anyone in the government who spreads information will be beaten and kicked out if she checks it out.
Poor Xiangyun was crying every day, and the earth and the earth were not working. He could only embroider his dowry at home every day, and shed countless tears.
…
When the historian was busy with matters in Xiangyun, Lin Zhao came to Xue Mansion as a guest.
In the autumn rain that day, Xue Pan invited Lin Zhao to a banquet at Yuelaixuan the next day, but Lin Zhao only wanted to rest quietly, so how could he be willing to go to the banquet every day?
After this shirk, Xue Pan invited me again ten days later.
However, Daiyu occasionally caught wind and cold, so she naturally rested at home.
In ten days, Shi Xiangyun was almost ready to get engaged.
Zijin Street.
It was originally named after the Zijin Temple on this street, but because of the cute name, quite a few wealthy businessmen have settled here recently, so the word "Zijin" has added another meaning.
As early as more than ten years ago, the Xue family bought a four-door courtyard here for their stay when they came to Beijing.
However, in recent years, because Xue Pan's father died young, Aunt Xue always liked to live with her elder sister and brother in the hope of having someone to take care of her, so the house remained vacant for a long time.
But Aunt Xue had a plan in her mind, so she planned to move here, and asked Xue Pan to do some renovations.
Lin Zhao came to Zijin Street and saw the gold door nails of Xue Mansion shining brightly in the sun from a distance.
When they got closer, they saw Xue Pan standing on the steps again, dressed in bright red. From afar, he bowed and saluted: "Brother Lin!"
Before the carriage even stopped, Xue Pan came up to him excitedly, grinning and saying, "You've finally arrived!"
After saying that, he reached out to help Lin Zhao get out of the car.
But it's not his turn.
Lin Zhao is surrounded by guards and family members.
A clever positioning separated him from the outside.
Lin Zhao also landed lightly.
He looked up at the shining door and smiled: "Wenlong, your mansion is really magnificent."
"That's right!"
, brother, let me show you something rare!"
Lin Zhao came here for the first time, so naturally he could only follow Xue Pan all the way.
Just as he walked, he felt something was wrong. The layout and decoration here did not look like a banquet place at all, but looked like the hostess's residence.
He couldn't help but slow down and hesitated: "Where are we going?"
"oh."
Only then did Xue Pan remember that he had not explained it yet, so he hurriedly said: "I am hosting a banquet for my eldest brother today. It was my mother who gave me instructions. She said she wanted to see you no matter what, so she asked me to invite you to come over."
Going to see Xue Pan’s mother?
She is also Xue Baochai’s mother.
Although we are all considered relatives and have met a few times in Jia's house, we have not had any formal greetings, meetings, or conversations.
It is only natural that I should visit my mother this time.
Isn’t that how family harmony comes about?
only……
My relationship with Xue Pan shouldn’t have reached that level yet, right?
If Daiyu comes to see Baochai, since the sisters cherish each other, they should also meet Aunt Xue.
Just when Lin Zhao thought of this, Xue Pan had already greeted the front with a smile: "Tongxi, go inside and tell mother that Brother Lin has arrived!"
But since I'm here, it doesn't hurt to meet him.
Lin Zhao smiled and followed Xue Pan through the courtyard and into the main hall.
Then he saw several maids standing in front of his left head, like stars holding the moon, surrounding a woman.
However, the maid closest to Aunt Xue is particularly different.
However, Lin Zhao only glanced at it and lowered his gaze slightly.
"Mother."
Xue Pan and Yourong Yan introduced: "Cousin from the Lin family is here."
Lin Zhao cupped his hands and saluted, bowed to the end, and said respectfully: "I've met my aunt."
"Please get up quickly."
Aunt Xue had met Lin Zhao many times. She admired Lin Zhao who was young and talented and had won the trust of the emperor. She also had other thoughts deep in her heart. Naturally, she looked at Lin Zhao with a more unique look. She smiled slightly and said: "
Speaking of which, I have met him a few times in Rongguo Mansion. We are also relatives. Wenlong is a useless person. He usually only associates with some bad friends and does a lot of bad things. He was arrested by Brother Zhao's men and sent to a labor camp, but he improved a lot.
Just looking at him, he went to the right path. As a mother, I saw it in my eyes and was happy in my heart. When I saw Brother Zhao today, I couldn't help but say a few words. I also hope that Brother Zhao would take care of him more often and don't let him let go.
What trouble will he cause again?"
After finishing speaking, he said to the maid next to him: "Xiang Ling, give my gift to Brother Zhao."
"Yes, ma'am." The maid replied.
But I saw that she was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with hands as short as a plate, and her hair was trembling slightly with pearls. She was dignified and quiet, but also revealed some girlish charm, especially the natural rouge mark between her eyebrows, which was like the finishing touch.
, adding a lot of charm.
She walked up to Lin Zhao and said in a charming voice: "Uncle Lin."
It's a gift from the elders and it's hard to say no.
Lin Zhao was not shy, he reached out and took the jade pendant on the plate, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, aunt."
There was a refreshing scent in my nose, which was of course emitted by the fragrant water chestnut around me.
Lin Zhao frowned, turned his head and glanced at Xue Pan, wondering in his heart: "You kid are still playing the concubine gift game with me?"
