No, before the results of the Ministry of Rites were released, the two of them met in secret.
Then the entire Xue family fell into greater joy.
Everyone knows that in order to show their importance, their master specially invited the official media to prepare, and also asked his young master to lead a group of followers to the hunting ground on the outskirts of Beijing, saying that he would take advantage of the onset of autumn.
Not long after, I went to find the geese that had not come and those that had returned south, and caught a pair to prepare for the engagement.
For a moment, everyone's attention was inexplicably diverted, and the originally anxious atmosphere of waiting for results was dispersed by such a happy event as the young master's marriage.
As for which family the Xue family should go to to propose marriage?
There could be no airtight wall anywhere in the capital, not to mention that the Xue family did not hide it. Everyone knew that the person they wanted to propose to was the current minister of the Ministry of Rites, the most powerful contender for the next minister of the Ministry of Rites, Lin Ruhai.
's legitimate daughter.
For a family like this, in the eyes of the officials and officials in the capital, the Xue family is obviously high-ranking.
People always say that a high-ranking family marries a daughter. Does the Lin family want their daughter to marry a low-ranking family?
Just when everyone was ready to watch the show, they got an unexpected result.
The Lin family didn't even make things difficult, and actually accepted the engagement from the official media who came to propose marriage.
Oh my god, the direct daughter of the Lin family is said to be a fairy-like figure. In the early years of the Jia Mansion, which was leaky like a sieve, the granddaughter's granddaughter's style and personality were revealed to the sky.
.
After returning to the Lin Mansion these years, the young lady of the Lin family has kept a much lower profile, but even so...
For a while, many people were extremely angry.
But what can be done? Who allowed the Xue family to raise an excellent son?
Does this mean that Xue Pan did well in this Jinshi imperial examination?
Everyone was speculating for a while, but this could not stop the Xue family's joy.
Let’s not talk about how Xue Jue, the head of the Xue family, secretly showed off to his friends. Let’s talk about Aunt Xue. Since the two families were settled, she went to her parents’ house and Jia’s house respectively.
My natal family was used to this younger sister's behavior, but the old lady of the Jia family was almost angry to death because of Aunt Xue's reckless behavior.
"I know that the old lady's granddaughter is an outstanding girl, so she deserves a better man."
"Thank you, Mr. Lin, for your sharp eyesight and knowing that our Xue Pan is a good person. He has trained her with all his heart and soul. He is also willing to marry his daughter to our Pan'er."
"Old lady, after all this, our two families can be considered officially married."
"Tell me about it, tell me, we will have to get close to each other in the future."
"Also, since Pan'er has such a relationship with our granddaughter, it wouldn't be appropriate to have anything else."
"I have started to hang out with those ladies recently."
"Tell me, the person who arranged Xue Pan's engagement was also very helpful. Now he's going to arrange the engagement for our girl..."
At this point, Aunt Xue covered her mouth and smiled: "A few days ago, someone from the clan came to talk to me."
"Now, I only have one thing on my mind. I don't know when the Ministry of Rites will release the results. I hope that Xue Pan will get a good result in the exam, so that I won't treat the old lady's granddaughter badly."
Not a single person in the room smiled at what he said.
Everyone is feeling aggrieved but can't say anything. The Xue family is very happy, but the Jia family has been having bad luck lately...
It cannot be said that the master of their family beat the child to death, and the wife of the housekeeper was also beaten to death.
It's too late to hide this kind of thing. Now if I want to avoid being irritated, I have no choice but to send Aunt Xue away quickly.
Everyone exchanged a few cursory greetings, and a few servants were taking Aunt Xue out, but they saw two acquaintances from many years ago coming towards her.
When Aunt Xue saw this, she hurriedly hid on the rocks beside the road and waited until the two people had gone far before she came out.
When passing the gate, Aunt Xue called the gatekeeper over, stuffed a purse into his hand, and asked the question in her heart: "The monk who just passed by was wearing rags.
, whoever it is, just lure him into the Jia family's mansion."
How could the porter have a door in his mouth? He was worried that no one would talk about it. Aunt Xue was a serious relative of the Jia family. Of course, he was in a hurry and told what he knew.
"I'm afraid Madam doesn't know that there is something wrong with our young master Baoyu's jade, and that's why he has a high fever."
"And our young mistress has the same symptoms as Master Baoyu. She has been treated by so many doctors but none of them have been able to treat her well."
"This monk once had some Taoist practices and appeared in front of our house more than once."
"This time they came back from wandering, and they came to the door at this time. We have to invite people over to show our young master and his wife. We just hope that the young master can wake up, and then our Jia family will be saved.
.”
After hearing this, Aunt Xue finally understood that this monk was still running around.
The only remaining thought at the beginning that my girl was special and that she might really have great fortunes was completely dispelled because of today's meeting.
In the words of my father, he is just a liar with some skills.
As soon as she stopped thinking about it, Aunt Xue went home and thought about telling her family.
Who would have thought that when I walked to my house, the whole street would be so crowded that I couldn't walk.
"What's going on? We are from the Xue Mansion in front of us. Why are you blocking our door?"
Someone who was able to take charge of the matter said: "It turns out that I am a relative of the Xue Mansion, wishing you congratulations. Today the list of the Ministry of Rites has been released."
"Your young master won the third place in the first class, and was given the title of "Tang Hua Lang" by the emperor himself!!!"
"Ah!" After hearing the news, Aunt Xue had no time to think of anything else, so she quickly ordered the guards to use money to clear the way and let the neighbors who were having fun in front of them give way.
People who live nearby come here to be happy. How can they block the road to the main house, so Aunt Xue can naturally enter freely.
When Aunt Xue entered the yard through the back door, she saw that the Xue family had just removed the table where they were kneeling and the head of the family, with his most proud son, was standing at the gate to thank the congratulators.
This time, the Xue family is really even richer than last time.
The rank of Tanhualang alone has completely established the foundation of the Xue family.
"Hurry! Give the good news to your master! You tell me, my wife's arrival is just a coincidence. Hurry up and send a wedding invitation to your in-laws and friends."
"We're going to have a big banquet. Every family is invited. We must let everyone know that the Xue family's children are going to be successful."
