Time flies, unconsciously at the end of the month, on this day Jia Rong, Xue Pan, Jia Qiang, Jia Yun came to the Muxi Temple outside the city, and happened to meet three beauties walking out of the three-seated sedan chair.

I saw that the young lady in front of me was descending like Chang'e in the moon, as if Xizi was reborn, and the two maids followed behind were both delicate.

Xue Pan's heart was itching, and even Xia Jingui left it behind, and hurriedly asked Jia Rong whose young lady this was.

Jia Rong pretended not to know, and instigated Xue Pan to wait for the three girls to finish the incense, and they could casually know whose girl it was all the way.

So the four of them waited at the door of the temple, and after half an hour, they saw the sedan chair restart, and several people were busy following behind, all the way to a house outside the west city, and saw that the people in the sedan chair did not show up, but entered directly from the back door, and disappeared completely.

Xue Pan was a little anxious when he saw this, complaining that the three of them shouldn't have stopped him, he knew that this was the case, so he should have stopped the sedan chair halfway to ask about it.

When several people were arguing, they suddenly saw an old woman walking out of the back door, Xue Pan hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "That mother-in-law, whose yard is this?" ”

The old woman glanced at Xue Pan, but did not answer, but still walked forward by herself.

Seeing this, Jia Yun hurriedly apologized and said: "Mother-in-law, don't blame, my brother is a little drunk, his words are inappropriate, he offended his mother-in-law, and I hope that my mother-in-law will forgive me!" ”

When the old woman heard this, Fang stopped and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

Jia Yun hurriedly said: "May I ask my mother-in-law, is this the Zhangjia Mansion?" ”

The old woman shook her head and said, "No." ”

Jia Yun said again: "But is it Old Master Li's house?" ”

The mother-in-law shook her head again and said, "No." ”

Xue Pan saw that Jia Yun couldn't stop going around in circles, and suddenly became anxious, and hurriedly asked, "Who is it?" ”

Jia Rong and Jia Qiang hurriedly held down Xue Pan, and apologized softly, and then the woman said: "This garden is Pan's house, this Pan master is also a local family in Japan, Pan master is famous, there are hundreds of acres of fertile land in the family, and there are more than a dozen shops in the city, but now only the lady and the girl are guarding the family business, and there is nothing else." ”

Xue Pan was secretly happy when he heard this, and was about to continue asking, when Jia Rong signaled him not to talk too much, and left everything to Jia Yun to come forward.

Jia Yun hit a thousand and continued to ask, "Is the girl of the Pan family a good friend?" ”

The mother-in-law shook her head and said, "The girl is in her teens this year and has not been hired. ”

Jia Yun was puzzled: "Ten years old, not too young, why haven't you been hired?" ”

The mother-in-law sighed and said: "Speaking of this girl, marriage is difficult, a few years ago, there were people who came to ask for marriage, but they all came for the Pan family's wealth, and the lady naturally did not allow it, and she loved the girl, so she had to choose someone who was outstanding in appearance, and she wanted to be quite open, so she was allowed." ”

"Because the lady chooses a son-in-law strictly, those who can't marry will release rumors to slander the girl's reputation, saying that the girl is ugly, so she uses Wanguan's family property as a companion, and it is impossible for the girl's daughter to show up to prove her innocence, and she has been delayed because of these rumors."

Xue Pan was annoyed when he heard this: "It's really hateful, the young lady is obviously as beautiful as a flower, even the maid..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Jia Yun, and Jia Yun hurriedly said: "Mother-in-law, forgive me, just now a few of us didn't see the girl's appearance in the temple, but it was abrupt, and I didn't want to bump into the girl's sedan chair again on the way back to the city, so I thought it was fate, so I came over to inquire about it." ”

The mother-in-law sighed: "Since it is a coincidence, I can't blame a few sons, just because the lady was in poor health a few days ago, the girl made a wish in the temple, and today is a good day, the girl will personally enter the temple to repay the wish. ”

"And as it should be!" Xue Pan and Jia Rong hurriedly nodded and agreed, but Xue Pan was itchy and couldn't wait to see a few women again.

Jia Yun knew Xue Pan's temperament very well, although she didn't know how to write and ink, but she liked a woman who knew how to read and be courteous, so she continued to ask: "I don't know if the girl of the Pan family knows how to write and ink?" ”

The mother-in-law smiled: "It's a coincidence that the son asked, who doesn't know that she is a talented woman in the boudoir!" often reciting poems with the sisters in the boudoir, and even the son of the man has to let her have a chip. ”

Xue Pan was even more happy when he heard this, and fantasized in his heart about what it would be like if he married such a woman and went home.

Jia Yun glanced at Xue Pan's expression, knowing that he had fallen into it, and continued to ask, "How do you old man know all about the affairs in his mansion?" ”

The mother-in-law smiled and said: "The son doesn't know, I am the nurse of this girl, because of the old age, I want to live with my son at home, and now I often come to this house, I want to go, I want to come, I will come, everything will naturally know." ”

After a few people talked for a while, it was getting late, and the woman said: "The old man is going to get food, I'm afraid that my son will come back to eat, and I don't have time to talk with you, please go back." ”

Seeing that a few people refused to leave, he said: "The old man looked at the clothes of several of you are either rich or expensive, if you take a fancy to my girl, it is not for the Pan family's wealth, and now the lady is worried about the girl's marriage, if you have a heart, you might as well come tomorrow to give it a try." ”

Jia Yun hurriedly thanked him, and Jia Rong and Jia Qiang pulled Xue Pan and left.

On the way back to the city, Jia Qiang couldn't help but be annoyed when she saw Xue Pan scratching her ears and cheeks, and joked: "Uncle Xue, didn't you fall in love with that Pan girl?" ”

Jia Rong said with a smile: "If I hadn't married my stepfamily again, I would have been tempted, not to mention that the young lady would have earned money by marrying those two maids." ”

When Xue Pan heard this, he happened to be in his heart, and hurriedly leaned up and begged: "Brother Rong, how many of you want to help me?" ”

Jia Rong pretended to make a gesture, and after asking for a few words, Fang said: "If this thing is done, how are you going to thank our brother?" ”

Xue Pan hurriedly said: "If it is done, all your expenses in Jinxiangyuan in the future will be mine, and if you like any girl, I will pay for you to buy it." ”

"Then there can be a few dollars, if Uncle Xue can come up with a thank you gift, our brother will definitely do this for you." Jia Rong said with a smile, secretly laughing in her heart You can only get this marriage because of the second uncle Zhang Luo's outer room, and I am a little afraid of Wang Xifeng's calculations in my heart, first Jia Rui, and now Xue Pan, and I secretly made up my mind that no one can provoke the second aunt in the future.

Xue Pan hurriedly agreed, and then gave Jia Rong and Jia Qiang each Xie Media's money, Jia Rong asked for 3,000 taels, and Jia Qiang also asked for 1,000 taels.

Jia Yun reminded: "We can't just listen to the woman's words, let's find a few more people to inquire." ”

Jia Qiang sneered and said, "You didn't hear that woman say that someone ruined her girl's reputation, if you find out that the girl is ugly, can we believe it?" ”

Xue Pan hurriedly shook his head and said: "Naturally not, we have all seen real people, how can we believe those unwarranted words." ”

Jia Rong smiled and said: "Brother Yun, you have always been clever, help your Uncle Xue think of a way, if it is done, Uncle Xue's thank you gift is also indispensable to you." ”

Xue Pan hurriedly hugged Jia Yun and said, "That is, if you can help me get this done, I will give you as much as I give Brother Qiang." ”

Jia Yun glanced at Xue Pan sympathetically, and after thinking for a while, he said: "I think this can't be known to the mansion in advance, let's take a look at Mrs. Pan's attitude tomorrow, Uncle Xue also has to dress up, they must find a reader for a portal like that, and Uncle Xue must also pretend to be a reader." ”

Xue Pan was worried that his family would stop it, causing the Xia family's affairs to repeat, so he nodded and agreed.

Several people made a plan for the next day's visit.

The next day, Xue Pan, Jia Rong, Jia Qiang, and Jia Yun all changed into the costumes of scholars, prepared a car of gifts, and came to Pan's house again.

Mrs. Pan personally came forward to receive a few people, and during the conversation, Jia Rong and several people indicated the identity of the Guogong Mansion, and introduced Xue Pan as the nephew of Xue Gong, the prince of Ziwei She, and the nephew of the prince Teng of the current nine provinces, the cousin of the concubine Niangniang in the palace, the family has a lot of wealth, and it is a family of poetry, books and ink.

Xue Pan also spoke honestly and rarely spoke, trying his best to show a gentle and elegant appearance.

After talking, Mrs. Pan was very satisfied with Xue Pan's family background, and said: "If Xue Gongzi has a heart, you might as well invite the media to come to the door to propose marriage, and the old body will naturally agree." ”

Xue Pan was happy in his heart when he heard it, and was about to agree, when he suddenly heard movement behind the screen, and saw the shadows of the three girls he saw yesterday flashing away.

Mrs. Pan hurriedly confessed, got up and went to the back hall.

Before long, Xue Pan and the others faintly heard the quarrel coming from the back hall, and were wondering when they saw Mrs. Pan walk out again.

Mrs. Pan saw the expressions of a few people, and took the initiative to explain: "Please also ask a few sons to forgive me, just now the maid informed the little girl of the intention of a few people, the little girl heard that Xue Gongzi is not like a scholar, so she was a little reluctant, the old body loves her daughter, naturally according to her wishes, a few please go back!" ”

Xue Pan was a little anxious, and was about to speak, Jia Yun hurriedly said: "The old lady's love for her daughter is indeed understandable, but Xue Gongzi is a good match for the young lady regardless of his character and family background, and it would be a pity to miss the good fate because of this misunderstanding." ”

Jia Rong and Jia Qiang also persuaded on the side, praising Xue Pan vigorously.

Mrs. Pan hesitated for a while and said: "Well, the little girl's marriage has always been a heart disease of the old body, and the old body has to get back the idea for her. ”

Seeing this, Xue Pan hurriedly left the family heirloom phoenix blood jade pendant, and bluntly said that this was a family heirloom token.

When Mrs. Pan heard this, she accepted the jade pendant, and after telling a few people, she asked the housekeeper to send a few people away.

After a few people left, Xue Pan wanted to go back to tell Aunt Xue, Jia Rong stopped: "I think Mrs. Pan is only moving on the spot, if Miss Pan says to move, maybe she will regret it, in order to prevent long nights and dreams, it is better for us to go to the official media to propose marriage now, even if they want to regret the marriage." ”

Xue Pan was worried that something would happen, so he hurriedly agreed, and was ready to go to tell him after getting the marriage certificate.

So several people acted separately, Jia Rong and Jia Qiang went to buy dowry, Xue Pan and Jia Yun looked for official media, everything was ready, came to Pan's house again, and set the marriage of the two.

After Xue Pan and the others left, Mrs. Pan sighed at the marriage book and Yu Pei, let Pan Yueniang out, and called a carriage to send back the three girls hired from Lexiangyuan.

After the fact, Xue Pan and a few people went to Jinxiangyuan to drink a meal, and did not go home until dark, Xue Pan told Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai about it through the wine.

Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai were shocked when they heard this, and blamed Xue Pan for setting up a marriage without the consent of the family.

Xue Pan tried his best to argue that Pan Yueniang was beautiful, how good her knowledge was, and her family background was suitable, etc., and said that she was in a hurry and said that the family was dragging on and did not let the Xia family marry, and this time she had to cut it first.

Xue Baochai saw that his brother was drunk, so he hurriedly stopped the two from arguing, asked Xue Pan to rest, and then persuaded Aunt Xue to send someone to inquire about the girl's character tomorrow.
