"It's coming, it's coming!"
When Mei Xueyan appeared, the eyes of Qi in the hall gathered.
Mrs. Chen has already received several posts, and many big families are interested in marrying Mei Xueyan, and the Xie family is even more straightforward, and they quickly invited a matchmaker and went directly to the door to propose.
The first thing Mei Xueyan saw was a matchmaker dressed eye-catchingly, not at all like the matchmaker with a wide body and a fat body wearing a mole on her chin with a silk flower in her impression, but she was dressed ceremoniously and decently, dressed brightly and festively, which made people happy to see it.
Behind him was a boy in a Confucian shirt, a little shy, but his eyes were sincere and reserved, and behind him were a man and a woman and two servants, each carrying a tray covered with red silk.
"Ah, Miss Plum! I finally saw the real person, look at this beautiful air, it really deserves its name! ”
The matchmaker directly opened her voice and shouted, her voice was high, but not harsh, picking up good words and flattering people.
"I, I didn't want to be a matchmaker, I couldn't bear the sincere plea of Mrs. Xie in the north of the city, let me say this family business for Gongzi Xie, I heard that the woman is you, don't say a word and agreed, Gongzi Xie is outstanding, the right girl is not easy to find, only Miss Mei happens to be a golden boy and jade girl, like a fairy, don't care if the family affair is successful, come, let's see the ceremony, a thousand miles of meeting is the destiny, don't miss the good fate."
Mei Xueyan held back a smile, don't underestimate this matchmaker's chatter, it seems to be nonsense, in fact, she has a lot of skills.
In a few words, the man's situation was clearly introduced, he was the son of Xie Yuanwai's family in the north of the city, his family was well-off, and his wife was sincere, and Xie Gongzi was also talented and beautiful.
Mei Xueyan glanced at Gongzi Xie, but he didn't dare to look at each other, he was a little familiar, he should be a student of the county school.
"Gongzi Xie is nineteen this year, and he was admitted to Xiucai last year, and he has a bright future in the future.
The matchmaker pulled Xie Gongzi, and the latter came forward to give a salute.
"Xiaosheng has seen Mei Maocai, and he has seen the girl's demeanor in the county school......"
Xie Gongzi is not stage frightened, but this kind of scene is always a little cramped, and Mei Xueyan replied with a curtsy.
"Hello, Senior Brother Xie."
Seeing that he was struggling, Mei Xueyan chuckled, he was indeed a good man with excellent appearance, and he was talented at the age of eighteen, and he was already a leader among his peers in Lin'an County, only half a chip inferior to Ma Jinqi.
It's a pity that Mei Xueyan has no intention of going on a blind date, of course her Langjun chooses it herself, this Xie Gongzi is obviously a half-old child, and his heart is undecided, how could Mei Xueyan agree hastily.
Under the suggestion of the matchmaker, Mr. Xie said: "This is a meeting gift for the girl, a small gift, I hope the girl will not be shabby."
His male and female attendants immediately presented the ceremonial plate with both hands, but Mei Xueyan did not pick it up.
"Xie Gongzi Haihan, I can't accept this gift, I'm really sorry to disappoint the Xie family."
Mei Xueyan said loudly, refusing straightforwardly, and also saying to the people around her, she is not in a hurry to get married, so it is better to simply refuse, lest there be other proposals.
Xie Gongzi's face changed slightly, and he was a little relieved in a little loss, Mei Xueyan guessed that he was also driven by his father and mother to put a duck on the shelf, he was less than twenty years old, and he didn't understand the love of men and women, how could he be in a hurry to ask for a wife?
It's nothing more than the elders of some big families in Lin'an who want to marry, and a hot female talent is enough to add glory to the lintel.
The matchmaker asked reluctantly: "Why is this, the girl has already divorced the Lin family, is it because Gongzi Xie has not entered the girl's eyes, or is the Xie family's sincerity not enough?" This is the first bridal gift list drawn up by Xie Yuanwai, and the girl's dissatisfaction can be brought forward......"
The matchmaker knows that Mei Xueyan is a showman, but what about the show? Women always have to marry as wives, although the Xie family is not as good as the Lin Mansion, it is also a rich and wealthy family in Lin'an.
According to the matchmaker's opinion, the female Xiucai who was abandoned by the Lin Mansion is just an abandoned woman after all, the Xie family is so sincere, can she still agree? Actually refused so decisively.
"The Xie family is a rich gentry, and Gongzi Xie is also a talent." Mei Xueyan explained, "It's that I don't have any plans to get married, and I believe that Gongzi Xie didn't come voluntarily, so please go back." ”
"Where does the girl speak, the words of the matchmaker of the parents' orders, Xie Gongzi is also willing, this is the best marriage for the girl."
Seeing her resolute attitude, the matchmaker was a little annoyed, what kind of family is Xie Fu? She is just an abandoned woman of the Lin family, Xie Yuanwai has given her enough face, and she has never seen such a woman who does not know what to do.
caused her to run away in vain, this family matter was not negotiated, the matchmaker lost the return gift, and damaged her reputation, so she was naturally not angry.
"This is Mr. Xie's birthday, the girl is now angry, if she regrets it one day, you can go to Xie's house to mention it again, yes, I, the matchmaker, have done it."
The matchmaker twisted her waist and walked quickly, muttering, "Could it be that Lin Mansion can still invite you back?" words.
On the contrary, Xie Gongzi was apologetic and apologized a few times before leaving.
After no one hindered her, Mei Xueyan and Mrs. Chen came out of Jixiang Restaurant, and today was the day when the prefect sent someone to check the accounts, and she had to rush to the county government to pay the errand.
Mei Xueyan has also written to refuse, if she is tired of these entertainments, she can't do anything.
After Mei Xueyan left, Mrs. Chen saw a tall, generous and familiar figure around the corner, and hurriedly chased after her.
"Third master! The third master stays! ”
It was Lin Saburo, he was dressed in civilian clothes, but he was strong and stood out in the streets, which was very eye-catching.
"It's Po Chen, what's the matter with you?"
Lin Saburo asked calmly, unable to see any expression, and his resolute chin was raised high.
"Since the third master has the heart to come, why don't you sit down and talk to Yan Niang in person?"
Lin Saburo said bluntly: "Who said I came to her?"
Mrs. Chen smiled: "I've seen you for a few days in a row."
Lin Sanlang's eyebrows twitched, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I'm going to the suburbs to ride a horse!"
Mrs. Chen shook her head with a smile, it is good for Lin Mansion to go to the suburbs and go directly out of the east of the city, so do you have to run through the downtown to the south of the city? What's more, you didn't even bring a horse, did you ride a wooden horse?
Lin Sanlang was arrogant and stubborn, and Mrs. Chen knew that he would never take the initiative to admit defeat and give in.
"Alas, Yan Niang was brought up by me, she is soft-hearted and kind-hearted, and she likes to hide her thoughts deeply, and she refuses to show it. Third master, you are wrong to blame her, I remember when I was a child, the Shen family punished her for not eating, the old woman in the kitchen took pity on her and gave her a boiled egg, she lied to me and said that she gave two and told me to eat one, and then I saw that she was so hungry that she was secretly eating eggshells at night......"
Mrs. Chen said with tears in her eyes and sighed, and Lin Sanlang couldn't help but be stunned.
"Such a child, who has no grievances with his wife, how can he use her tablet to vent his hatred? Third master, you really blame her. She is not close to people on the lips, but she is very good at heart. ”
Lin Saburo moved his Adam's apple, and he thought back later, of course he knew that she was to blame, otherwise he wouldn't be standing here.
But Mei Xueyan is ruthless to him, this is what he is awkward, is it possible that he still has a hot face and a cold ass?
I heard Mrs. Chen say again: "In the past few days, many families have come to propose marriage, but she refused without even thinking about it......"
"Really?"
The corners of Lin Saburo's mouth rose unconsciously, his expression was radiant, and he sank down again in a blink of an eye, staring at his dark eyes.
"The third master just saw it with his own eyes, it was the matchmaker invited by the Xie family."
"What does it have to do with me!"
Lin Saburo didn't know whether he was happy or angry, turned around and almost ran away, quite a little deserted and fled, but his steps were brisk and flying.
