225 Attracting Demons into the Room, Fourth

It is said to be a "blind date", but in this year it is called "looking at each other".

In ancient times, it was not like modern times, where unmarried men and women could make an appointment to meet and chat, and if they were together, they would continue to be the next one, but in a magical way that made Lin Xuan feel "speechless": in a very tortuous way, the man's family went to see the girl's girl, and the woman's family went to see the man's master—and when the parents of both sides nodded, the marriage would have a follow-up.

Speaking of this, Lin Xuan had to sigh:

In his two lives, he knew almost nothing about ancient marriage customs. The only cognition is the "parents' orders, matchmakers' words" that appear very high in costume films on TV.

And the superficial understanding of these eight words made him very naïve for a while: Ancient people wanted to get married, since it was all up to their parents to say, not to mention it, this object must be found very quickly.

I never expected it!

It is true that the ancients were "blind and dumb marriages", but the real "blind and dumb" are actually only the two parties who want to get married - the two of them are their respective families, and they are completely eager to find out the eighteenth generation of each other's ancestors before they get married!

Here is a quote from his beautiful lady: "People like them are the most difficult to look at."

Lin Xuanyuan didn't understand what he said, and when his beautiful lady accepted the commission of his uncle, he didn't help his cousin find a "suitable" partner until now, so he somewhat understood this "not easy".

- Then the question arises: in the whole process of finding a partner for his cousin, what did his beautiful lady do?

- Answer, in addition to being a bridge between Cousin Lian's cousin and aunt and uncle, she helped confirm the final candidate, the beauty of the mother...... Nothing has actually been done!

First, it wasn't for her to inquire about which family had a school-age girl; second, it wasn't for her to conduct a preliminary screening; third, there was no detailed investigation of the girls on the list; fourth, when the candidates were preliminarily confirmed, as far as Lin Xuan knew, what the mother-in-law thought was good at the beginning was basically rejected; finally, the step of privately hinting to the other party that she had the intention of marrying was of course not done by the mother-in-law.

All of the above was done by Cousin Lian's cousin-in-law and aunt. Lin Xuan's mother-in-law didn't even know what his future cousin-in-law looked like, she only knew that the other party was the sister-in-law of Cousin Lian's cousin's sister-in-law's best friend.

Putting aside this relationship table full of slots, anyway, it was listed like this, and even Lin Xuan couldn't help but cover his face silently in his heart:

Don't you think, dear mother, that you're a failure?

However, his beautiful lady is like this...... The reason is not difficult for Lin Xuan to find.

It has been said before that the beauty lady felt very inferior because she couldn't give birth to children in the past, so she simply closed her door and didn't leave the house after being "cared for" by the women who were well fed outside. This situation did not improve until Lin Xuan was born.

It's just this improvement...... Even the relatives of the Lin clan have only recently become acquainted, let alone the outside-it is said that the reason why the beauty lady is friendly with the prefect's wife is that she has the meaning of entering the circle of the official's wife through the other party's guidance.

To sum up, if your mother doesn't socialize with people for a long time, how can you know who has a girl of the right age and what her character is!

...... Ah, in other words, his uncle will entrust his cousin's cousin and aunt to help after entrusting his mother-in-law...... Actually, it's kind of, prescient?

Thinking of this, Lin Xuan couldn't help but make a difficulty: ...... So, should he accuse his uncle of being insidious, or should he praise this witty?

Ahem, can Lin Xuan think of these, can his mother not think of it? Not only did she think of it, but she was also so anxious that she couldn't do it - no, there would be this time to promote Cousin Lian's visit to Yangzhou.

Theoretically, after his uncle wrote to say that this candidate was "successful", and Cousin Lian's cousin also replied that the other party was willing to marry, the next step was to "move this case to the table".

The specific approach, to put it simply, although everyone understands that we must be optimistic about each other in private, but we still have to put on a look, it is "my family 'accidentally' saw your daughter, a shocking person, will invite a matchmaker to propose", yes, these ancients are the hypocrisy of Jiemo, the pretentiousness of Jiema!

- Having said that, it doesn't matter whether the above steps show up or not.

It's just that his mother-in-law begged for "performance", and felt that his cousin could show that "the Jia family attaches importance to the female family" when he came; in addition, in his mother's "plan", if the "disguise" of cousin Lian is added, it seems to be more "justified".

And for Cousin Lian, who is preparing for the "Autumn Season", the beautiful father of the Guanglin Xuan family is a dignified Tanhualang, so there is nothing to say about the "attraction".

In the end, it can also help the beauty mother to speed up her entry into the circle of official wives!

- It's killing multiple birds with one stone!

- Okay, without further ado.

In short, under Lin Xuan's eagerness, Jia Lian finally arrived in Yangzhou smoothly the day after the former was allowed to go to the ground.

What is in the middle of the boat, transfer to the car, all skip it. It was only said that as soon as Jia Lianfu arrived at the Lin Mansion, he was directly welcomed into the main hall.

Naturally, there are three brothers and sisters Jia Min and Lin Xuan who have been waiting for a long time in the hall. Lin Ruhai is not resting today, so he is not here.

After a salute, Jia Min called Jia Lian to him and looked at him carefully.

Do the math, Jia Lian is seventeen years old this year, compared with the time when he first came to the Lin Mansion, not to mention the impetuous smell, he has added a little confidence and bookishness, which makes the whole person more and more extraordinary.

Seeing that his nephew was so outstanding, Jia Min felt proud and pity. She took the other party's hand and said in a continuous voice:

"Skinny, skinny!"

Then, she wiped the tears welling up from the corners of her eyes with a silk handkerchief with her free hand, and then said: "I really haven't seen anyone as ruthless as your old man, just leaving his own son alone in his hometown and ignoring it for so many years......"

Balabala's is a complaint.

And Jia Lian smiled and let his aunt count his old son - in fact, this is already a "routine" for him to see his aunt every time he comes back - he has listened a lot, and Jia Lian is also very skilled in how to "deal with" below. No, seeing that his aunt was almost there, Jia Lian casually defended his father for a few words, and then opened the topic, and talked about the recent situation without reporting good news and bad news, and sure enough, his aunt's attention was completely diverted.

After Jia Min listened with relish, Fang Hou noticed that her nephew's face was tired, and she hurriedly said: "Lian'er, you are tired from sitting on the boat for so long, go down first to wash and take a rest." I have ordered a feast to be prepared below, and when your uncle returns, he will wash your dust. ”

She pulled away the eldest son who held on to her cousin when she saw her: "Brother Chen, too, don't mess with your cousin now." ”

Jia Lian had nothing to do, so he went to the yard that Jia Min had cleaned up early with the maid. Lin Xuan watched Lian's cousin walk away, and was busy instructing his idle subordinate general Ke Nan Meow to follow, Fang listened to his mother's words, and led his younger brothers and sisters back to the room to play.

After that, Jia Min also went back to the room, retreated from others, and left her nurse Mama Li to speak.

Mama Li is old and refined, and when she saw that her young lady's face was wrong, although she didn't know the reason, she also estimated that it was related to the young master's family. She handed over the freshly brewed boiling tea, took the initiative to praise the young master, and only then did she say tentatively:

“...... With the appearance of our young master, what else do you have to worry about, Miss?"

When Jia Min heard this, he just sighed, his brows still deep.

- What is Jia Min worried about, it's a bit long:

It must be said that many things seem simple, but when you actually do them, you will find that there are many difficulties inside.

For example, this time to help his nephew Jia Lian say goodbye, at first Jia Min really didn't think it was so difficult - although it was really not as good as before, but the Jia family is also a descendant of the country! The eldest brother also said that he does not require the other party girl to be "full of all four corners", just "suitable".

- As everyone knows, this "suitable" is the most difficult!

It is said that "bamboo door to bamboo door, wooden door to wooden door". After all, Lian'er is the eldest son and grandson, and he will be the lord in the future, if his daughter-in-law's status is too low, not to mention affecting future communication, at least Lian'er's younger brothers will have to marry lower...... In that case, it is even more unpleasant!

In addition, the importance of the wife of the house...... Just say that the Rong Mansion when the Zhang family was in the year, compared with the Rong Mansion today, it can be seen.

In addition to the above two points, there is also the appearance...... Okay, this can be put down, as long as the facial features are good and healthy, but the personality should always be well considered, right?!

As a result, the options are greatly reduced. Moreover, she is in Yangzhou, which is not as convenient as in the capital, where it is convenient to investigate or see the girls of various families......

Moreover, the other party has such a good girl, is he happy to marry the Jia family, or is it another story!

It was precisely like this, Jia Minfang was shocked that in her heart, the Rongguo Mansion, which she had always been proud of, was no longer what she was when her father was still there.

After my father left...... Her eldest brother's virtue did not ruin the family business, even if it was blessed by the ancestors, and her second brother, who failed to pass the imperial examination for many years, could only rely on his father's deathbed excerpt to ask for the position of a member of the Ministry of Labor, but unfortunately he has not moved for so many years......

When Jia Min listed the situation of her mother's family one by one, she didn't feel bitter in her heart. Aside from the rest, let's be honest:

is Sister Juan, and she is reluctant to marry into such a family...... 166 Reading Network
