Before Aunt Xue could ask Xue Zhen about her thoughts, bad news suddenly came from Ning Guofu - it was Jia Jingbintian, who lived in the Taoist Temple of Alchemy and Cultivation outside the city. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

At that time, Jia Zhen's father and son, Jia Lian and other grandfathers were not at home, and only You Shi took care of this matter by himself. Because Jia Jingnai swallowed the pill and died, You was afraid that there was another reason in it, so he only ordered people to go to Xuanzhen Temple first and locked up all the Taoist priests. He also hurriedly rushed to the outside of the city with the housekeeper and daughters-in-law, one wall invited the imperial doctor to see Jia Jing in the audience, one wall of Pegasus Express and Jia Zhen's father and son, and the other wall ordered people to notify relatives and friends. Zhang Luo's family and others wrapped Jia Jing's body and sent it to Tieji Temple for parking. He also asked Qin Tianjian to choose a time to be buried......

When the news reached the Liu family, Third Sister You was slightly stunned. She remembered that Jia Jing died the day after Baoyu's birthday in the original book, and Ning Mansion had been safe and sound since Baoyu's birthday, and Third Sister You originally thought that this would not happen. But I never thought that just two or three months had passed, and Jia Jing was finally gone.

Jia Jing died, according to the laws of the imperial court, the children and grandchildren of the direct family of Jiafu must be filial piety for three years, so Jia Zhen, Jia Rong, and Xichun in Ningguo Mansion must be filial piety for three years, and Jia Lian, Baoyu, Yingchun, Tanchun, etc., as children and nephews in Rongguo Mansion, should also keep filial piety for one year.

You Shi was originally starting to look at people for Xichun, but now that he has encountered such a thing, of course those good people who have sons of the right age are not willing to wait for three years in vain, so they have to say a sigh of annoyance to You Shi, and only give up the marriage, so they take advantage of the fact that the man is not married and the woman is not married, and he is hired to marry.

Seeing this, although You Shi was helpless, he had no choice but to give up. After all, Jia Jing died suddenly, and Xichun, as Jia Jing's daughter, must be filial piety, and this time is not suitable for talking about marriage. Fortunately, Xichun is still young this year, even if he keeps filial piety for another three years, he is only seventeen years old, which is the year of marriage.

You Shi thought so, so he had to put the marriage on hold for the time being. It will be discussed after the removal of filial piety.

The descendants of Ningfu must be filial piety, and so are the sons and nephews of Rongguofu. Mrs. Xing didn't care much about the Spring Festival, and Mrs. Wang had other plans, and she didn't want to marry Tanchun easily, but because You looked at the four girls, as mothers-in-law, they didn't have any action at all, so as not to praise and disparage outsiders. Now that Jia Jing is dying, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang will leave the marriage on the pretext.

Yingchun has always been a submissive wooden character, and when she saw that her parents didn't mention it, she didn't ask. Only Tanchun is a person with scheming in her heart, but as the daughter of the boudoir, she is not good at asking about marriage matters, so she has to be depressed and entangled in her heart.

Mrs. Xing refused to bother planning for Yingchun, but she never forgot the marriage between Xue Zhen and Xing Xiuyan. and entrusted Aunt Xue to be this matchmaker.

Aunt Xue is happy to facilitate this matter, but unfortunately this time is different from the past, the Xue brothers and sisters are no longer the pair of brothers and sisters who traveled thousands of miles to Beijing to join the Rongguo Mansion in the original book, and the Xue family's big house no longer inherits the errand of the imperial merchants, and even the Rongguo Mansion and the Wang family have lost the authority in the original work.

Now Xue Zhen is in charge of the Tai Ban business in the second room of the Xue family, and he also understands the errand of the imperial merchant from the household department, and he has joined the old eunuch who serves by the emperor's side, and this family business is just a trace of development and growth. Although Xing Xiuyan is dignified and there is nothing wrong with it, he really can't pass the exam at home, according to Xue Zhen's own calculations, he wants to marry a woman from an official eunuch family as his wife, so that he can use the power of his father-in-law's family to do a good job of trading and making a living. After all, if the imperial businessmen and imperial businessmen can't find a backer in the court, this business can't be done for a long time after all.

Therefore, Xue Zhen finally declined Aunt Xue's media.

Seeing this, Aunt Xue regretted it, but she was helpless.

Seeing this, Xue Baochai's heart moved. In private, he quietly said to Aunt Xue behind everyone's back: "Mom only thinks about protecting the media for Brother Xue Zhen, why did she forget her brother." If it is said that the relatives are close to each other, is the elder brother not as good as the Xue Zhen brothers? ”

When Aunt Xue heard this, she groaned slightly in her heart, and said with a smile: "My son, it's not that you don't know your brother's temperament, that's a horse without a dragon's head. The girl of the Xing family is so delicate and willowy, I am reluctant to tell your brother. Isn't this a waste of people? ”

That being said, Aunt Xue also dislikes Xing Xiuyan's parents and family in her heart. In her heart, Xue Pan is no matter how inappropriate, and he should be equipped with a character with all four corners. Xing Xiuyan was fine in every way, but it was a pity that she was dragged down by her parents.

When Xue Baochai saw Aunt Xue say this, she naturally thought about Aunt Xue's thoughts. In Baochai's heart, he didn't think that his brother was a helper, but he didn't expect that Rongguofu intended to repent of his marriage that day, but it was his brother Xue Pan who turned the tide and finally settled the matter. only to avoid the embarrassing situation of his golden and jade good fate, but Baoyu married someone else.

From that day on, Baochai was very grateful to his brother. This time, I saw Mrs. Xing and wanted to tell Xing Xiuyan a matchmaker, she often came into contact with Xiuyan in Rongguo Mansion, and naturally knew that this was a good girl with a dignified appearance, an open-minded temperament, and a good understanding of poetry and books. Although the family background is a little cumbersome, but marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person, according to the Xue family's current lintel family background, as well as Xue Pan's reputation as a dumb overlord, I am afraid that everyone in Beijing who is a little better will not be willing to tell the girl to Xue Pan. can take a fancy to the Xue family, either the family background is not good, or the parents want to take this opportunity to cling to the power of Rongguofu, and when the time comes, the blind marriage and dumb marriage marry a girl into the door, and I don't know what her character is. I'm afraid it's not as good as Xing Xiuyan.

Xue Baochai thought about this, and couldn't help but persuade slightly, "I live in the house, I read books and needlework with the girls every day, and I often treat the girls. Although the girl of the Xing family is not as good as the girls, it is rare to have that kind of appearance and talent, and she is not arrogant or humble, I think it is very good. Mom also knows her brother's temperament, she can't study outside, and she won't be able to take care of her livelihood, if she can marry a good wife, she can take care of him. In the future, if you raise a son and a half daughter, you will be a strong mother, and you can not only ask children to write poetry and books, but also read books and children to learn. In the future, if we can take the road of studying and taking the road of Rongguo Mansion and the Royal Mansion, our family will be regarded as changing the lintel. That's the benefit of knowing the roots. If it is a family that looks at each other from the outside, and is a plain person, we don't know how the girls in their family are educated, and if it is inappropriate to marry someone with an arrogant temperament, won't it disturb the family? ”

When Aunt Xue heard Baochai say this, she couldn't help but feel moved.

Xue Baochai saw that Aunt Xue was silent, and knew that she had stored these words in her heart. I won't say much at the moment.

Let's say that when Xue Pan's family came in the evening, Aunt Xue took advantage of the dinner season to ask Xue Pan about his opinion of the Xing family's girl.

Xue Pan knew that Aunt Xue intended to pull fiber for Xue Zhen. Hearing that Aunt Xue asked him, he didn't care too much. He immediately said: "I heard my sister and Sister Baoqin praise that the Xing family girl is good in appearance and talent, but it's a pity that the family background is too poor, and the Xue Zhen brothers are now on the errand of the imperial businessman, and they also have to manage the land trading of the Xue family's two houses, and it is reasonable to want to find a Yue family with a stronger family background." ”

Aunt Xue asked again: "I'm not asking you Brother Xue Zhen, I'm asking you, what do you think of that Xing girl?" ”

"Me?" Xue Pan's eyes widened, and he asked in a rough voice: "Mom asked me what to do, and I can't marry her." ”

"Why not. Didn't you say she had a good temperament and good looks? In that case, you should look at others now, why can't it be her. Do you also think that Miss Xing's family background is not good? Aunt Xue asked with a smile.

Xue Pan sneered and shook his head, and said bluntly: "It's not a matter of whether I can take a fancy to others. People are afraid that they won't look down on me. ”

Xue Pan is quite self-aware at this point. knows that with Xing Xiuyan's character and talent, even if he doesn't marry Xue Zhen, it is not a problem to marry a poet and a scholar. After all, no matter what she says, she is the niece and nephew of Mrs. Rongguo Mansion, and there are people in Beijing who want to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix to the Rongguo Mansion through Xing Xiuyan.

Seeing this, Aunt Xue and Baochai looked at each other and smiled. Aunt Xue said to Xue Pan: "You just said whether you want to marry Miss Xing." I'll take care of the rest. ”

Xue Pan thought about it, his face suddenly turned red, and he had to ask Xue Baoqin Aiai: "...... That Xing girl, is she good-looking. ”

Xue Baochai was very speechless, so he had to smile.

Xue Pan asked again, "How is it compared to Xiangling?" ”

Xue Baochai had no choice but to say: "Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum, each has its own merits. ”

When Xue Pan heard this, he didn't interrogate anything else, and he didn't think that Mrs. Xing would marry Xue Xiuyan after Xue Zhen refused, and would she lose face if she married Xing Xiuyan, so she said to Aunt Xue very simply: "Since that's the case, it's up to my mother to decide." ”

Aunt Xue looked at Xue Pan angrily and funny. After that, he found an opportunity to test Mrs. Xing's tone.

When Mrs. Xing learned that Xue Zhen had rejected her proposal, she was immediately ashamed and annoyed, and she couldn't wait to anger the Xue family's mother and daughter. At this moment, I heard that Aunt Xue was protecting Xue Pan again. She knew that the family business of the Xue family's big house was richer than that of the second house, although the business of the Xue family's big house has been declining day by day since the death of Xue's father, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, even if there is no million riches at the moment, five or six hundred thousand can still be taken out. What's more, Xue Baochai is about to marry into Rongguo Mansion, and the two families will be even closer at that time.

No matter what, Xue Pan's maternal uncle is still the prince Teng, a member of the court!

Mrs. Xing thought about it for a while, but she only felt that this matter was better. So he relayed Aunt Xue's words to Xing Xiuyan's parents. Uncle Xing and his wife were also very happy about the Xue family's million-dollar wealth. The two families sat down together and discussed the matter.

After the news spread, everyone in the house came to say goodbye. Only Xing Xiuyan herself, who heard the sisters talking about Xue Pan's violent temper and temperament, relying on his family background to kill people, and pampering his concubine very much, he was worried in his heart. It's just that he doesn't dare to show it on his face. Every time I get more and more worried in the boudoir. And because of the late autumn and winter, the weather will be cold. Xing Xiuyan pawned winter clothes in order to take care of the maids and ladies in the house, so sad and frozen, she became more and more sick. After a few days, he collapsed on the bed and couldn't get up.

When the sisters heard about this, they all came to visit. Because Xing Xiuyan now lives with Yingchun, and the sisters Yingchun and Tanchun live in the three small hugging houses behind Mrs. Wang's room - now Xing Xiuyan lives in the place where she cherished spring that day.

The room was small, there were many sisters, and the big girls who were waiting with the girls stood on the ground full, and it became more and more noisy.

The sisters thought that the sick did not like to make noise, and after visiting them, they went their separate ways. Only Baochai stayed quietly after everyone left, and gave Ying'er a look, only to see Ying'er come out completely, and came in with a stone-blue Doro's burden for a while. Xue Baochai opened the bag and saw that it was a set of winter clothes.

Xing Xiuyan originally had something in her heart, but when she saw this dress, she didn't feel that her face was crimson, and she was speechless.

Xue Baochai smiled and said, "Yesterday, my brother's house came in, and I only brought in such a burden. My mom and I couldn't figure out what he was doing with such a dress. I told him to give you this garment, and I was not allowed to ask my mother any more questions. I can't help it, I just listen to my brother. Now I have to ask you, what's going on? ”

Xing Xiuyan was silent for a long time, seeing that there were no outsiders in the room, so she had to quietly tell Baochai about the winter clothes she had pawned. Because he was suspicious: "I just ordered the little girl to quietly take it out and pawn it." Somehow, it was known. ”

Baochai has long known that the people of Rongning Erfu are the most rich and noble, with two decent eyes, and they will build bridges and set fires and watch people put down dishes. Not to mention that the family background is as bad as Xiuyan, it is Lin Daiyu, who only went to Beijing at the beginning, and when the good relationship of Jin Yu was almost shattered, how can he suffer less from the praise and grievances of these people.

Hearing Xing Xiuyan's words at this moment, Baochai couldn't help but hold Xing Xiuyan's hand and smiled: "I'll say it." Why did my brother always have a straight temper, but this time he actually hid it. It turns out that there is such a reason. It seems that you really have a fate with our family, there are so many pawn shops in Chang'an City, you didn't go to any of them, but went to our house. My brother found out about it. Quietly take it back and let me pass it on to you. It can be seen that you should be a member of our family, this person has not yet married, and his clothes have passed first. ”

Xing Xiuyan's face turned red when she was teased by Baochai, only to hear Baochai laugh and persuade: "It's rare that my brother, who has always been careless, has paid attention to you so much." Now I'm just glad that you haven't been here for a few days. Just wait for the good days to come, and get married. Don't listen to them talk about how bad my brother is in private, you just look at me and my mother, we sisters have been friends for so many years, naturally there is nothing to say. It's my brother, he's an unhedged horse outside, but he's the most low-pitched at home. Now you can only endure some troubles, and after enduring this time, it will be fine. ”

Xing Xiuyan smelled that her marriage to the Xue family was decided, and she was originally a little discouraged. At this moment, hearing Xue Baochai's persuasion, and hearing Xue Pan being so considerate, I couldn't help but be a little moved. but gradually lost the meaning of rejection in the heart.
