Two hundred and seventy-eight chapters talk about the Lin family
When Mai Fan said this, Xue Jue's expression was really ugly.
He was a little angry at the arrogance of the Zhen family, but when the question was really asked to him, Xue Jue also knew that the Zhen family was a scholar, farmer, industrialist, and merchant, and they were also relatives, and their family was good enough for anything.
Not available.
Just thinking of this, Xue Jue sighed: "I understand, I will explain this to your mother."
"It's just that it's not a good idea if you don't see anyone these days...except for your husband and people from the government office, it's better to choose one or two families to go around."
Mai Fan is not a person who refuses to listen to advice.
He thought about it for a while and then nodded.
But while the father and son were talking, the housekeeper from the outer courtyard came over to report it.
It was said that there were two letters from the Xue family masters and they needed to be delivered to Xue Jue personally.
Needless to say, the importance of the letter that must be sent at this time is needless to say.
Since his son had already been admitted as a scholar, Xue Jue felt that there were some matters at home and it was no longer necessary to avoid his eldest son.
Judging from his thoughts after talking to him several times at home in the past few days, his son is thoughtful and has a stable personality. He can gradually become the next head of the Xue family.
Therefore, Xue Jue just asked the housekeeper to come in, received the letter, and opened the two letters in front of Mai Fan.
But when Xue Jue took a cursory look at the contents of the letter, his expression became not so good.
Mai Fan couldn't help but ask: "But what serious thing happened?"
Xue Jue shook his head slowly: "The matter is quite serious, but it doesn't have much to do with our family."
"Do you know which family your aunt from the Wang family married into?"
Mai Fan knew which aunt it was without having to think about it. He returned: "The Jia family in the capital, the residence of the Duke of Guo."
Xue Jue nodded and showed a letter in front of Mai Fan: "Do you know the Jia family your aunt married to, and who the only legitimate daughter of their family married?"
Mai Fan pointed at the words inside the letter and smiled: "My mother once said this when she was talking about family history when I was a child."
"Speaking of the daughters of their generation, the best ones to marry are the daughters of the Jia family."
"At the same age, Jia Min was able to marry a beautiful man with outstanding charm. Moreover, this man was very clean and self-sufficient. Even though Jia Min had been childless for many years, he never blamed her."
Xue Jue felt inexplicably uncomfortable when he heard this: "Did your mother really say that?"
Mai Fan smiled and built up his father's self-confidence a little: "That's what my mother said, but there was a but behind her."
"She said, it's a pity that the marriage is good for a while, but only they themselves know what will happen after the marriage."
"Now it seems that she is the best daughter to marry."
"Her husband loves her dearly. She is not restrained by her elders above her, nor burdened by her family members below. She has a son and a daughter, and she has both children. This is a truly blessed person."
It was these words that made Xue Jue's face brighten up. He was probably a little embarrassed. Xue Jue coughed again and continued the topic: "Yes, now it seems that it is not your mother who is the one to marry."
The best one?"
"Did you know that this girl from the Jia family passed away from illness a few days ago. Now that the Jia family has received the news, their nephews will be sent to mourn her in the near future."
"Because Yangzhou City is not too far away from our Jinling, there is a high probability that this relative of the Jia family will go around to Jinling to see the clan members."
"It's just that the letter sent by your aunt from the Wang family only mentioned the other party's coming over, but didn't mention anything about Uncle Lin's family. I always feel that your aunt from the Wang family doesn't feel sad for her sister-in-law at all."
"At any rate, we had a lot of friendship back then in the capital. Even someone like your mother would have shed a few tears, but there was no trace of sadness in the letter sent by someone like her."
"This made me not know where to start."
Hearing this, Mai Fan understood Xue Jue's intention: "Father, do you want to go to Yangzhou? To mourn my aunt who I can't contact in eight poles?"
"What my father did was definitely not missing his old friend. He probably wanted to discuss something with the Lin family's uncle."
"It's just that this reason should have been there, but now it has been wiped out by this aunt of the Wang family..."
"If that's the case, father, why don't you use my name to go to Yangzhou?"
???
Why didn’t Xue Jue think of this?
"What name did you use to visit?"
"Studying, admiration for Tanhualang, and our family's poor relationship."
"Actually, father, you don't need to use mother's connections at all. You just need to contact the people in charge sent by the Jia family."
"Although my aunt seems to be the head wife in the Jia family, the real inheritors of the title in the Jia family are the eldest son of the Jia family, Jia She and his family."
"When the daughter of the Jia family passed away, it was naturally impossible for the old grandmother of the Jia family to go there in person. Of course, if she really loved her daughter, like my mother, she would definitely be crying and shouting even if she was thousands of miles away.
Past."
"It's just that what I think is written in the Jia family's mind is that their old lady and even the head of the second bedroom of the big house will not come over."
"This family relationship is so indifferent. If the third generation sent out is still an insignificant person, it would really be unreasonable."
"So my son feels that the person sent to Yangzhou must be the next generation of the Jia family to seize the title."
"At this young age, the only person who can be dispatched is Jia Lian, the eldest member of the Jia family."
"In this way, my father can wait on the waterway to Yangzhou early, bring the person in charge of the Jia family to Jinling, and then we will go to the Lin Mansion in Yangzhou together. Isn't this just
Doesn’t it look very natural?”
"As for external rhetoric, all of it is put on me."
"I am the only scholar in the Xue family. I heard that the talented Tanhua Lang suffered such a great change, so why don't you go there in person to express your comfort?"
"Young Lang's personality cult is so pure that no one can find fault with it."
What my son said makes sense.
Xue Jue thought for a moment and agreed with Mai Fan's statement.
Calculating the time when the letter was delivered and the progress of Jia's departure, the matter of sending people to stop the ship should be arranged in the schedule.
Xue Jue made arrangements for this plan, but within two days, at the canal wharf heading south from the capital to Jinling, he encountered a boat from the Jia family coming to pay his respects.
