Mrs. Lin's words were endless, but Mrs. Lu smiled knowingly when she heard this, and there was some helplessness in her tone: "Mrs. Lin is afraid that she has found the wrong person, and I can't find anything from me." ”

Mrs. Lin said angrily: "I haven't even said who I want to inquire about." ”

Mrs. Pan on the side also smiled and winked at Mrs. Lin: "As soon as you say this, even I know that you are going to inquire about the young and promising county master in our county office." ”

Mrs. Lin was stunned and looked at Mrs. Lu: "Yo, it seems that there are quite a few people looking for you to inquire about Lord Xue?"

The helplessness on Mrs. Lu's face was even more obvious: "No, there were three or four people who asked me to inquire about Lord Xue at today's birthday banquet." Although my lord is a subordinate of Lord Xue, our two families do not have much contact on weekdays, and I really don't know about Lord Xue's situation. ”

Mrs. Lin couldn't help but sigh when she heard this: "Hey, he has a good family background, good looks, outstanding character, and a promising future, and he hasn't married yet, no wonder there are so many people staring at him." ”

Mrs. Pan glanced at the concubine Lin girl brought by Mrs. Lin, and lowered her voice slightly: "Are you asking for your girl?"

Mrs. Lin also glanced at the concubine, and said nonchalantly: "How is it possible! Even if I have a daughter, I may not be able to climb the son of the old family of the pavilion, let alone a concubine? It was my sister-in-law who asked me to inquire." My maternal brother is currently the governor of Liangjiang, and my niece and nephew are born with a beautiful face and a gentle and graceful temperament, and she is barely worthy of this Lord Xue in terms of family background and character. ”

Mrs. Lin's voice was not loud but she did not deliberately lower it, and He Linwan glanced at the girl Lin who came out. saw that she had buried her head low in her chest.

"If you want to inquire about this, you should find me and Mrs. He instead of Mrs. Lu. Mrs. Pan covered her mouth and smiled, and then pointed at the Wei family, "We are all from the capital, and we know a little about the affairs of the Xue family, and I heard that Lord Xue came to Shandong with Mrs. He a few years ago. ”

Mrs. Lin's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she immediately looked at Mrs. Pan and Wei: "What do you know? Tell me quickly! It stands to reason that a person like Lord Xue, even if he is not married at this age, should have a marriage contract, otherwise the Xue family should be in a hurry to arrange the marriage for him." To tell the truth, my mother's family also asked someone to secretly probe his tone. But Lord Xue didn't seem to be enthusiastic about his family affairs. ”

Mrs. Pan smiled: "Actually, what I know is only some old things. Most people in the capital know it, and it doesn't hurt to tell you. Xue Gongzi used to have a fiancée of a childhood sweetheart, but unfortunately this fiancée Fu Bo died of illness a few years ago. In recent years, there have been countless people who want to marry the Xue family. It's a pity that Xue Gongzi has a deep affection for his fiancée. has long said that he will not get married in the next few years. At that time, everyone still didn't believe it, and he didn't want to talk about marriage now, and he didn't want to talk about marriage. ”

Mrs. Lin had never been to the capital. It was the first time I heard this, and I couldn't help but be very surprised: "I have seen Lord Xue from afar for a while, and I looked at a cold and lonely person, but I didn't expect it to be an infatuated species." ”

Saying that, Mrs. Lin looked at Wei again: "Mrs. He also knows about this, right? You passed by with Lord Xue, do you think this matter is somewhat credible?"

Wei doesn't like to talk about people behind her back, but she can only cooperate with a few words on this occasion: "I only know what Mrs. Pan said just now, although I have been on the same road with Lord Xue, I have only seen him from a distance." ”

"Since Lord Xue came, who in Penglai City who has a daughter and has a bit of identity doesn't stare at him as a sweetheart?" Speaking of this, Mrs. Lin glanced at He Linwan and teased at Wei, "Mrs. He is also a person with a daughter, but she is very calm. ”

Mrs. Lu also looked at He Linwan and complimented half-truthfully: "If I have such a daughter, I am not in a hurry." Looking at the entire Penglai City, how many girls are comparable to you?"

Fifteen-year-old He Linwan can be said to be reborn compared with four years ago, her delicate facial features have now been completely opened, fresh and elegant, not vulgar or charming, especially the pair of clear Ling Ling's eyes seem to be full of the aura between heaven and earth, which can be described as clear and watery. The dull complexion that made the servants and maids in the family laugh at it before has become white and clear after several years of recuperation, and with that unique and unique temperament, people can leave a deep impression at first sight.

It stands to reason that a girl who is too good-looking may not be able to win the love of her mother-in-law, but He Linwan has a calm and upright temperament, and it is easy to gain the favor of these ladies and wives.

Mrs. Pan has no daughters, but there are two sons, and the eldest son is also sixteen years old this year, and when she reached the age of saying goodbye, she took the initiative to befriend Wei and also fell in love with He Linwan, so when she heard Mrs. Lu's words, she took the opportunity to say to Wei: "This is true! I like your girl as soon as I see it, and I can't wait to have such a daughter." In the future, the two of us should move around a lot. ”

Wei also smiled: "This year, the snow is heavy, and it never stops, which is really inconvenient to go out." ”

Mrs. Pan clicked to the end, and then chatted with Wei's about something else: "The snow is falling so much, I don't know when it will stop, and the New Year's gift sent back to Beijing this year should be prepared early." ”

Wei smiled and said: "You reminded me! A while ago, my second aunt sent me a letter to ask me to help her buy some good skins and bring them back, but I don't want to be able to pick good skins this year, and the price has quadrupled! Do you have a familiar leather shop?"

Mrs. Pan smiled when she heard this, pointed at Mrs. Lin and said to Wei: "This is not easy to do? Isn't there a powerful person in front of you? If you lack anything, you can just ask her to help you." ”

Mrs. Lu also smiled and said: "Mrs. Lin is the right person for this matter! Their Lin family has several leather shops, and our house made winter clothes last year to find the materials bought by the Lin family, and the furs are all first-class good things." ”

When Wei heard this, he looked at Mrs. Lin.

No, Mrs. Lin sighed: "I wrote it down for you, but I advise you to buy it after a while." ”

"Oh, why is that?" Although Mrs. Pan and Mrs. Lin are not too familiar, they know that Mrs. Lin is a cheerful person, and she will usually respond to what she can do.

Mrs. Lin immediately explained: "Recently, many people who have fled from the border of Daji have returned to the city, and because they are worried that the victims will enter the city and cause riots, the government has imposed a lot of restrictions on business contacts in addition to strictly screening people entering and leaving the city gates. In previous years, the leather shops under my husband's name went to Liaocheng in the northeast to receive the goods, but now the waterway and dry road leading to that side have been blocked, so the price of the leather has quadrupled recently!"

Mrs. Lu sighed: "I have also heard our master mention the disaster victims, hey! This winter is so cold, I don't know how many people will die outside the city, poor to see! They have nowhere to go but to beg for a living outside the city, but this winter outside is not very peaceful, a while ago I heard that a small village was looted by a gang of bandits, and many people died. These thieves have been exterminated by Lord Yan for several waves, and they have been born for a year or two, and they have recently started to run rampant again. ”

Mrs. Lin said disapprerovingly: "In these years, even the life of the emperor's relatives and relatives is precarious, let alone ordinary people?"

Mrs. Pan understood and blinked: "You are talking about the one who was assigned to the East Roundabout?"

"Otherwise, who else?" Mrs. Lin lowered her voice, "Donghuandao is not far from our Penglai City, so don't we locals know what the situation is on the island?

He Linwan listened to them talking and lowered her eyes to think about something, looking a little careless, but despite her absent-mindedness, she still noticed a line of sight looking at her from time to time.

He Linwan pretended to look up casually, but found that the person who had just looked at her was the girl Lin who had been keeping her head down and not saying a word.

Miss Lin should be the same age as He Linwan, with a goose egg face and big eyes, and if you look closely, she looks quite standard, but because of her personality, it is easy for people to ignore her existence.

Seeing He Lin looking at herself, Miss Lin buried her head again.

He Linwan was thinking about finding a topic to talk to Miss Lin, when Xiao Er in the teahouse came over with a pot of hot tea to add tea to them.

He Linwan didn't care about this little episode, Xiao Er filled Miss Lin with hot tea and then came to add water to He Linwan, but at this time, Miss Lin suddenly screamed and jumped up, and accidentally bumped into Xiao Er's arm holding the hot teapot.

If this happened to ordinary people, there was a chance that the person sitting in He Linwan's position would be burned by the hot water, but He Linwan quickly got up and avoided the moment Miss Lin jumped up, and at the same time, the shopkeeper hurriedly grabbed the teapot, and in the end, only a few drops of hot water splashed on the table.

The shopkeeper also seemed to be frightened by this sudden situation, he hurriedly put down the teapot in his hand, and confessed to He Linwan with a nervous face: "Miss forgiveness, Miss forgiveness, the small one is not intentional......"

He Linwan frowned, first glanced at Miss Lin, and then looked at the shopkeeper who was so frightened that his face turned white.

The four of them who were talking were also alarmed, and Wei immediately got up and walked over: "Ah Wan, what's wrong?"

He Linwan was about to reply, but the shopkeeper suddenly took the opportunity to give Wei's place to turn around, and then secretly stuffed something into He Linwan's hand. (To be continued.) )
