However, it was said that Jia Huan had a whim, pulled Qin Zhong and Xue Baoqin together, and found a free day to discuss with Liu Aiyun. Liu Aiyun had a close relationship with Qin Keqing, and when she heard that her younger brother immediately agreed. Jia Huan went to signal Aunt Xue again, but she was unwilling. Because Xue Baochai's son-in-law Jiang Zirong was originally the son of the Marquis of Pingyuan, and Qin Zhong's father was just a small Gongbu battalion, she was afraid that others would gossip and value her own daughters over her nieces. Coincidentally, someone came to the door to hint in the past two days that a nephew of Li Guofu and the son of Gao Hanlin was choosing a wife. Aunt Xue thought to herself, if she went to Mei Hanlin's family, she would not slap the Mei family in the face if she promised another one or the Hanlin family? It's a little tempting.

Jia Huan went to Liu Aiyun to inquire about the Xue family's intentions, laughed when he heard it, and said, "Didn't that Gao Hanlin's son throw a pair of big white eyes to Cong'er in the Hanlin Academy back then?" He told the joke that when they went to the Hanlin Academy to complete the book, Jia Cong and Gao Hanlin's son joked. Liu Aiyun listened to it and disliked this person even more. Because Xue Pan went to Ping'an Prefecture to check the seafood street, he wrote a letter to ask Xue Pan to come back soon, and on the other hand, he made a joke about it and told Jiang Zirong about it through business contacts.

Jiang Zirong made his intentions clear, and went to deliver snacks to Aunt Xue that day. In the past, he and Xue Baochai had met many times, but Aunt Xue had a lot of courtesies, and since he had settled his family affairs, he was not allowed to see each other again, but she might have Baochai flashing a shadow behind the screen. Jiang Zirong saw Ying'er's head shaking on the side of the screen, and knew that Baochai was coming, and pretended to ask about Baoqin's family. Aunt Xue took the opportunity to tell the Gao family.

Jiang Zirong laughed: "Isn't it the white-eyed little Langjun?" ”

Aunt Xue hurriedly asked, "What white-eyed little Langjun?" ”

Jiang Zirong said: "The master of the Gao family had a joke in his early years, and we laughed for many years, but it has long passed, and the people who are not sure to do it have changed, so there is no need to mention it again." It's just that the mother-in-law still has to check the person's temperament. Then he diverted the subject.

How could Aunt Xue let go of his few words that were so clueless? Busy Zhengse said: "Zirong, Baoqin is your wife and sister, and her life cannot be ambiguous." You know what, tell me quickly. ”

Jiang Zirong said: "Old things, I don't know if it's worth mentioning. Then he relayed what Jia Huan said about the Hanlin Academy, and said, "At that time, he was too proud, and many people looked at him unpleasantly, and gave him the nickname 'White-eyed Xiaolangjun'." It's just that the three masters of the Jia family were all wearing ordinary cloth clothes that day, and others thought they were children of a poor family; After many years, I knew that they were from Rongguofu. Looking back at the matter, his big white eyes were a little funny. Not to mention which is rich and noble between their family and Rongguo Mansion, where is Gao Hanlin compared to the pardon of the duke. Before the chaos in Beijing, the pardon duke pinched a little and took his children, grandchildren and nieces away from the capital, how wise he was. Seeing Aunt Xue's hesitant face, he said again, "As the saying goes, Shibei should be impressed in three days, but can you keep that the master of the Gao family growing up later?" ”

Aunt Xue asked, "Do you know how he is ordinary?" ”

Jiang Zirong laughed and said, "I've never been in contact." Although I was also born in a large family, I was quite unscrupulous in my early years, and now I am a businessman. ”

Aunt Xue immediately remembered that those people in Rongguo Mansion looked down on her daughter's background, and said unhappily: "What about Shangjia? Their family only got a high-ranking daughter-in-law, and she was just a poor scholar in the past. And he left them behind.

Xue Baochai listened behind the screen and turned around and said to her sister-in-law, and said: "Such a person, with a glorious face, it is rare to have a good life even if you marry in the past, and it is no different from the Mei family. ”

Baoqin pursed her lips and bowed her head and said, "What my sister said is true." ”

When Xue Zhen came back, he discussed with Baochai: "I met with the Liu family today, and he said that the Qin family is the only son, his father is over seventy years old, and his mother died early. He stretched out his head to Baochai's ear and lowered his voice, "If Baoqin enters this family, he will be in charge." I don't have to serve my mother-in-law yet. "His sister is married to Liu Xianglian and Liu Erye of the timber industry." ”

Xue Zhen had never seen Qin Keqing, but Baochai knew her, and she was also startled when she first saw Liu Er's grandmother. asked her how she had been over the years, and she said that she had long been vulgar, and now she was in charge of the private accounts of the big house of Rongguo Mansion. Baochai only said that it was rare, but he was shocked in his heart. Rongguo Mansion has a lot of business dealings with the Xue family, although most of them are on Liu Aiyun's side, she knows a little bit, it is really a big deal. Also guessed an eight. Nine is not far from ten, she must be done by Rongguofu. Xindao, no wonder Ning Guofu fell out with them. The two said something more, and Baochai became more and more surprised. In the past, when the Xue family was still living in Rongguo Mansion, the two of them also met, although Grandma Xiaorong was smart and proper, gentle and peaceful, and won the hearts of the people, she was just a daughter-in-law in the end, and she was completely two people with such a dignified and dignified atmosphere in front of her. Later, there were some contacts, and I respected him more and more for his ability.

When he heard that the son of the Qin family was Qin Keqing's younger brother, he was satisfied for a moment, and suddenly remembered that he had heard some gossip from him in Rongguo Mansion in his early years, and he was quite hesitant. Fang wanted to speak, but he heard Xue Zhen say: "Everyone Liu said that the family is extremely reliable, but I believe him." ”

Baochai also said after hearing this: "I know Grandma Liu, but it is extremely rare and proper. It's just the same rice to raise a hundred people, my sister is a good one, not necessarily my brother is a good one, and then ask again. ”

The head Xue Pan hurried back, discussed with Liu Aiyun, Xue Baochai and others, and personally invited Jia Huan to have a drink to inquire carefully. Jia Huan knew everything and said everything, and he also gave him a few poems by Qin Zhong. Xue Pan and Liu Aiyun are not literati, so they don't see much good, so they take it back to Baochai Baoqin to see. Baoqin was embarrassed to look at it at first, so she just sat on the edge of the kang and rubbed the corners of her skirt. Baochai took it over first and looked at it from the beginning, and said strangely: "This brother of the Qin family, I have heard a few ears in my early years, saying that he is shy, but in fact he is a little childish. Looking at this time, the style of writing is very atmospheric, and it is a little heavy. I don't see the frivolous character of the day, but some of them are young and old. Thinking about the day when his sister was forced to leave home, this little Qin Xianggong also calmed down.

Xue Pan smiled: "Liu Erlang treats his daughter-in-law like a baby." As the saying goes, he loves the house and Wu, and he is not bad for his brother-in-law. Isn't the anger of a small family poor! Now that his family is rich and he is studying, it is naturally different. ”

Xue Zhen said: "It's just that if their family has been receiving help from Liu Erlang, it is not appropriate, and their family has no property?" ”

Xue Pan said: "There are, but most of them are purchased for his sister." ”

Baochai said: "It doesn't matter if you're poor, but mortals are good, let's marry some of the past." ”

Xue Pan stroked his palm and said: "Yes, the waist of the piano girl is also straighter!" He smiled again, "I've experienced a lot of money today!" The crowd laughed.

Xue Pan then went to tell Aunt Xue that the Qin family was decided. Aunt Xue heard that "the family is well-off, there is no mother-in-law, the family is reliable, and the children are motivated", so she didn't care about the slightly lower status. Besides, over the years, their family has gradually become Xue Pan's master.

So he took a few poems of Baoqin and handed them to Jia Huan, and Jia Huan sent them to Qin's house with a cigarette. Qin Zhong looked at it, didn't say anything, and secretly praised in his heart, "Good talent!" ”

Baochai hesitated again and again, and finally quietly told Baoqin Qin Keqing's identity back then, which frightened Baoqin's eyes wide. Baochai advised: "Don't let my mother know!" She is now old, and she loves to think before and after when she encounters problems. ”

Baoqin said: "Whether it is Ningguo Mansion or the second room of Rongguo Mansion, they can all be regarded as nothing." The Jia family's big house is capable. ”

Baochai nodded again and again: "It can be seen that you are not a fool." ”

Two days later, the person who made peace for the Gao family came to ask for the letter, and Aunt Xue thanked her politely, saying that her eldest brother had chosen someone for her. The man persuaded him again, and Aunt Xue only pushed Xue Pan. I thought that this matter was over, but after a few days, another person came, but this time it was for the young master of the Liu family in Liguo Mansion to say goodbye. Xue Pan said with a smile: "Could it be that you are going to the market to buy things?" Also bargaining. So Aunt Xue refused again.

When the woman came back the next day, she said something strange. She said: "Miss Xue has a poem, 'not by the plum, but by the willow'." The family name she said earlier was Mei, and the marriage didn't work out! Now that Liguofu's surname is Liu, Mrs. Xue take a look, what a coincidence! Isn't the meaning of Miss Xue's poem that the Mei family is not the Liu family? ”

Aunt Xue didn't know what she meant, but seeing that her expression seemed to have a deep meaning, she asked her to bring this matter in and tell Baochai about it. Baochai was shocked and angry, and said: "How could the poem of the Qin girl fall into their ears!" "Hurriedly sent someone to invite Xue Pan back.

When the kid who went to Liu Aiyun's house and told them the words of the eldest girl one by one, Xue Pan was furious! Before he was about to lose his temper, Liu Aiyun said: "It must be that they bought some of the Xue family's subordinates and got the pen and ink of Miss Qin." ”

Xue Pan said angrily: "I don't know this!" I just hate them for being so ridiculous and presumptuous. He commanded the boy, "Go home quickly, and lead some strong boys to beat out the old godly woman who chews the root of her tongue!" ”

The kid was busy looking at Liu Aiyun, who only sat and drank tea. The kid understood in his heart, promised to go home with a pegasus, held Xue Pan's banner and shouted a group of boys to come with brooms and sticks, and rushed into the living room first, and couldn't help but smash it at the mother-in-law who was still chattering with Aunt Xue. Aunt Xue was blinded, and the mother-in-law shouted and ran. Before Aunt Xue came back to her senses, the person had already been beaten out! The children of the Xue family are all jubilant as if they are celebrating the New Year.

When Xue Pan returned home, he comforted Aunt Xue first, and immediately went to Baochai Courtyard and said: "Aiyun said that Li Guofu has a mind to marry us, but I am afraid that there will be some reason." ”

Baochai said: "I know this, but I only guessed for a long time and couldn't guess the root cause." The two families have never been in contact with each other. ”

Xue Zhen said on the side: "It stands to reason that it should be for money." It's just that Fang Xiong copied many big families when he was there, and the Liguo Mansion never moved, so why did he want to seek our family? ”

Baochai pondered: "None of the men in their mansion worked, and they sat and ate empty, I heard that the inner bag was already exhausted." If it's just for the money, it's not surprising. I'm afraid that there are other reasons. ”

The brothers and sisters discussed for a long time, but they couldn't guess, so they just left. Li Guofu touched his nose, but he didn't make any moves.

The Xue family combed the people up and down one by one, but it was amazing! In addition to finding out a daughter-in-law who stole Xue Baoqin's poetry manuscripts from Li Guofu, there were also various spies who accepted other people's benefits. Xue Pan gritted his teeth: "For the time being, everyone in the family remembers, there will always be a day when the accounts will be settled." So he sold all the slaves who ate inside and out, and specially selected a person with a good reputation in the industry, and clearly told the people that they were all collecting money to inquire about the affairs of the master's family for outsiders. People have seen a lot of such things, so they naturally take this price reduction. Why does Xue Pan care about such a lot of money? As long as these people are sold to the new master's house, they will not get any good.

Later, Xue Pan personally led Baoqin to Qingxuguan to make Jiao, but it happened that Liu Xianglian also brought Qin Zhong to incense. The two young men met once in the main hall. Qin Zhong is handsome and elegant, Xue Baoqin is bright and moving, and both of them are very satisfied. Xue Pan was overjoyed, and pulled Liu Xianglian to drink freely, and this family was decided, and after reading the book, he chose to send his relatives in March next year.

Aunt Xue was worried that her daughter and niece would be difficult to find someone every day, and suddenly the two of them were allowed to go out, and they were so happy that they couldn't keep their mouths together every day. It's just that he began to worry about Xue Pan and Xue Tads again. She couldn't control Xue Pan, and Xue Zhen blocked Xue Pan again, and there was no way at all.

It's the New Year in a blink of an eye. Gong Kun still did not return to his hometown, so he only sent a letter back to Taiwan, saying that he would celebrate the New Year at home. Because many things in his hands were mutual agents of Lin Daiyu, Daiyu complained for a long time, and then called Jia Cong to count down and be angry for a while. Jia Cong honestly couldn't fight back and scolded or scolded, she just felt bored, so she stopped.

Tian Gengzi's father, Tian Mao, and his two brothers hurried to the New Year's Pass to Taiwan Mansion, and saw that his daughter-in-law was pretty and well-behaved. The Hunan Pavilion is also very satisfied, and is ready to do a happy event for them in the spring.

Jia Xichun and Wu You have to spend the New Year outside this time. The two of them wrote to Chen Guo, and King Chen, the second prince who was the leader, had some means, even if there was no tiger talisman, he also subdued Chen Guo's soldiers and horses. When Xichun went to sell the son, King Chen also asked the Lin family girl several times if she was good now, and if she had a family, it seemed that there was some lingering feelings. In order to stop his thoughts, Steward Wu, who was accompanied by Miss Jia Si, quietly told a beautiful short guard under King Chen that Miss Lin had chosen someone and was preparing a dowry. The guard's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he thanked him again and again, and rewarded him with a gold ingot, which was five taels!

In Beijing, the prince of Beijing met Jia Zheng, the second master of Rongguo Mansion, and invited him to the teahouse for a drink, because he casually mentioned that he had a daughter who was the same age as Jia Zheng's grandson Jia Lan, and I heard that Uncle Xiaolan was young and talented, and his poetry was much higher than that of ordinary teenagers, and he intended to get married. Jia Zheng only said that Jia Lan was too young to discuss his relatives, so he politely refused. Shui Rong didn't feel embarrassed, so he said that he would discuss it in a few years. Jia Zhenghuan happily returned to his house and rewarded Jia Lan with a good inkstone.

Lin Hai had to go to Su Zheng's house for the New Year because his daughter was not around. Seeing Su Cheng being coquettish and foolish, I was very envious in my heart. At the end of the Chinese New Year's Eve, when Jia Huan came to Su's house to greet the gentlemen, he sighed and asked, "Are you not going to Taiwan for the time being?" ”

Jia Huan said: "There must be someone in Beijing." If my uncle wants to go and see it, he will wait for a while. In March, Cong'er had to come over. ”

Lin Hai sighed again: "I really miss Yu'er a little." Well, I'll go with Cong'er next year. ”

Jia Huan smiled and clapped his hands: "I still miss my daughter, don't you?" Hey, hey, hey. Lin Hai stroked his beard and was silent. Jia Huan said again, "It's just that this time, I can't see Mr. from time to time." ”

Lin Hai turned his head to look at Su Zheng and said, "You are good to serve your Mr. Su, don't make him angry." ”

Jia Huan pouted and muttered, "When did I make that old man angry?" ”

The bloody year has quietly come to an end. The world is falling apart, the Son of Heaven is gone, and after the New Year, everyone in the world is a little unaware of what day it is.

It wasn't until Gong Kunfang returned to Taiwan in February that he lost a lot of weight. Yuan Chun only came over and glanced at him twice when he heard the news, and then left in a hurry as if he had something important. This matter fell into the eyes of everyone, and there were no three hundred taels of silver here.

Jia Cong dragged Gong Kun aside and asked, "How is the first love?" ”

Gong Kun smiled bitterly: "It's completely changed!" As if I didn't recognize it. I've got her in place. ”

Jia Cong didn't ask carefully, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Walk over, it's a sunny day in front of you." He didn't mention the matter of Yuanchun, and pushed him to hand over things with Daiyu.

Gong Kun said: "I'm afraid that the students won't be able to help Miss Lin." It's February, my lord, it's time for us to get ready to go back to Beijing. ”
