Thinking of this, Aunt Xue sighed, pinched her fingers and began to calculate.
My own girl is already fifteen years old, and is already considered a big girl. Whether it is Adengan or Jinling, girls at the age of thirteen or fourteen will start getting engaged, and by the age of fifteen or sixteen, they can consider getting married.
Even if you cherish your daughter and are reluctant to marry so early, you can only stay until she is seventeen or eighteen years old at most.
That is to say, those people who wield swords and guns all day long do not consider getting married until they are eighteen or nineteen years old.
But more people heard that they are used to being wild and unwilling to be restrained, so they often choose to marry a man who has lost their parents and fallen off a cliff.
It sounds like something only a crazy girl would do.
Speaking of engagements, now Shi Xiangyun, the eldest daughter of the Shi family who is younger than them, is engaged, so Bao Yatou needs to worry about things.
Aunt Xue no longer counts on the precious jade from her sister's house.
I don’t expect my girl to be the wife of my uncle.
They are just a bunch of down-and-out families who are weak on the outside but useless on the outside.
The Duke's Mansion, which can't even save his own nephew, is there anything worth fawning over?
Therefore, if a girl wants to find a good match, there is no better place than the Lin family.
It's a pity that she is a woman with no power in the family. Although Pan'er has corrected her evil ways under the supervision of others, she has lost her status and cannot forcefully beg others.
Fortunately, his daughter Lin County Master actually liked his daughter and became good friends. This is really a blessing.
With this boudoir friendship, even if she really has no fate with the Lin family in the future, she can still be considered a strong supporter of her daughter's family.
Just as Aunt Xue was thinking about it, someone sent a message at the door: "Madam, Tongle, please tell me."
"Let her in!" Aunt Xue was waiting and said hurriedly
This Tong Le is sixteen years old and is a maid from Yi Jing Ju. Because her mother is the head of the bath house in the main house, she can be regarded as Aunt Xue's repayment god.
Of course, in terms of scheming, skill, and insight, Baochai, although young, surpassed his mother. Tongle never followed Baochai into the Grand View Garden.
But two distinguished guests came today, and there were many maids and women, so Tong Le came forward to wait on them, so he quickly inquired about the news, found an excuse, and came out.
Aunt Xue was impatient, so she didn't want Le Le to speak, so she asked: "Why are County Master Lin and the others looking for the girl? Are you listening carefully?"
Tong Le first lowered his body, and while greeting Aunt Xue, he replied: "Go back to my wife. The head of County Lin and the fourth girl of the Jia family invited the girl to the Zhongnan Mountain Hot Spring Resort! They said Uncle Lin was busy there.
After finishing the official business arranged by the emperor, I gave myself a few days off and took County Lord Lin to play there!"
After hearing this, Aunt Xue beamed with joy: "Hot Spring Village. It sounds like a good place. Will you accept the offer, girl?"
Tongle shook his head: "The girl didn't say anything for a long time at first, until she was urged by the fourth girl, she said that it was the Bodhisattva who blessed me that my uncle has returned from his lost path in the past few months. Taking advantage of these few days at home, he and his wife ate fast together.
It’s convenient for going out!”
Aunt Xue frowned: "This silly girl, who wants her to thank Bodhisattva at this time? No, I have to go and have a look!"
While talking, he asked someone to prepare some snacks, left the main room, and planned to go to Yijingju. Just when Xue Pan came back from outside, he saw his mother walking in a hurry and asked, "Mom, where are you going?"
To be honest, the son is the mother's treasure, and Xue Pan is the mother's lifeblood. Ever since Father Xue died, Aunt Xue has been looking forward to Xue Pan's success every day.
It's just that a loving mother often loses her sons, and she spoiled her so much that Xue Pan became like this.
Fortunately, Xue Pan's nature was not bad. After being reformed through hard work by Lin Zhao's Jin Yiwei, he actually changed his ways and took the right path seriously, and started running his own business seriously.
Aunt Xue saw this and was happy in her heart. She had a better impression of Lin Zhao and at the same time she was more determined to find a good marriage for her daughter.
At this time, Aunt Xue saw Xue Pan and the tip of his nose was red. She couldn't help but held his hand distressedly and covered it hard: "My son, where are you going? Why don't you wear a big sweater?"
?How do the servants serve you?"
Xue Pan laughed: "Our business has almost been handled these days, so today Feng Yanei and I went on a horse race outside the city." Having said this, he looked at the food boxes carried by the maids: "Mom, this is
Are you going to give Baochai food?"
Only then did Aunt Xue remember that there was serious business there, and said to her son: "My son, you go back to the yard and put on thick clothes first, and then ask the kitchen to make wild duck soup for you to keep you away from the cold! County Master Lin and the Jia family
The fourth girls are here, let me go and take a look at them!"
"Oh. County Lord Lin is here." Xue Pan said casually: "When I was riding back, I happened to meet Brother Lin. He invited me to play in his hot spring village in two days. I agreed. County Lord Lin is here.
, I must be here to invite my sister to play together."
Aunt Xue was overjoyed when she heard this: "Uncle Lin also invited you? That's great. With you here, your sister will also have a great time."
The mother and daughter separated while talking and laughing.
Yi Jing stayed here, and Daiyu and Xichun tried to persuade her for a while, but Baochai just refused to let go. Daiyu felt strange in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. But Xichun was young after all, and she couldn't hide things in her heart, so she couldn't help but blush.
Pouting her little mouth, she looked about to get annoyed. Daiyu pulled her down and said sincerely to Baochai: "If it were an ordinary day, I wouldn't dare to trouble my sister. It's just that when I came to the capital, although I met many sisters, we
I thought of my sister first."
It's not that Baochai doesn't want to go, it's just that she feels a little uneasy. What's more, Daiyu has said so. When she was in trouble, she heard someone outside the door say: "County Master Lin is right!" Following the voice, Aunt Xue said
Came in.
Daiyu and Xichun stood up hurriedly. Aunt Xue first saluted Daiyu and then said with a smile: "I just made some new snacks in the kitchen. I was thinking about your sisters gossiping, so they can be eaten as snacks."
Having said this, he looked at the several kinds of snacks placed on the table, twitched the corner of his mouth, and did not ask the maid to put them out from the food box, but said to Baochai: "Just now, Cainiang happened to hear outside the door, the county lord said to his face
Inviting you, and calling you sister, you are so shameless as a sister. Even if you are busy now, it is not enough for two days. Since they are here to invite you sincerely, it is rude for you to make excuses.
Oh! Besides, Uncle Lin also invited your brother, what are you afraid of?"
Aunt Xue said so, and there was no reason to refuse. Baochai sighed in her heart, but she was still a little happy.
After inviting Baochai, the three sisters did not stay in Xue's Mansion any longer. They took the car together and went to Rongguo Mansion.
When Jia Mu heard that the Lin brothers and sisters were inviting Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun, and Baochai to go to the Zhongnan Mountain Hot Spring Village together, and she heard that Lin Zhao had also invited Baoyu there, her eyes shone brightly and she nodded her head.
Amidst the astonishment of Mrs.
Seeing what Jia Mu said, Mrs. Wang sighed inwardly and said, "Sisters go to the Zhongnan Mountain Villa to play. The old lady agreed. I don't have any objections, but Baoyu has to put his studies first after all, and the empress has many problems."
As instructed by Wan, I must detain him."
Hearing that she moved out as Concubine Xian De, she naturally didn't want Baoyu to get along with Lin Zhao and the others. Jia Mu's eyes flashed, and she sighed inwardly and said: "Studying is a serious matter, even the empress said so, so let Baoyu
Stay."
Mrs. Wang nodded and stopped talking.
But I thought in my heart: "That rough warrior still wants to hang out with Baoyu, what a wonderful idea!"
