Chapter 231: Five Good Girls
On this day, Lu Jing was blocked by the golden warbler on the way home, Lu Jing knew what he meant when he saw him, and at the same time secretly thought to himself, Xue Baochai really formed a dependence mentality, since the emperor's business has been in contact, he will come to him when he encounters things.
Ying'er was a little apprehensive and said, "My girl asks the adults to see her." ”
"Where is your girl now?" Lu Jing asked.
A few days ago, Jia Yun had already reported Xue Pan's matter, and now the marriage of the Xue family and the Pan family has been decided, but Xue Pan still doesn't know Pan Yueniang's appearance, and he doesn't believe what the Xue family inquires, arguing that it is all slandered by others, and only urges Aunt Xue to quickly set a wedding date so that she can marry Pan Yueniang.
"In Shelter Alley!" Ying'er said, and after speaking, she added another mouth: "It's the place where adults first met my girl." ”
Lu Jing nodded, and then turned to the house in Shelter Alley with Ying'er.
Xue Baochai saw that Lu Jing had arrived, so he got out of the carriage and followed him into the courtyard, feeling a little flustered, the first thing that came to mind when he had something to do recently was to ask Lu Jing for help, and he couldn't figure out his thoughts, whether he came to him for help, or just used this as an excuse to see him.
After Xue Baochai saw the ceremony, he briefly described Xue Pan's affairs, and then Ying Ying bowed: "Can you help my brother withdraw from this marriage?" ”
Lu Jing shook his head and said: "I can't do anything about this matter, and it's not something I should come forward for, since there is a marriage certificate as a basis, the marriage is decided, not to mention that the divorce is a great humiliation for a woman, you are also a woman, and you must know the fate of being divorced." ”
Xue Baochai nodded, and suddenly felt that his request was a little reckless, if a woman encounters a divorce, it will be extremely difficult to remarry, and most of them will not be able to think about it and kill themselves.
Lu Jing thought for a while and said, "Just now you said that you have met the girl of the Pan family, what do you think of her character?" ”
In order to redeem the gaffe just now, Xue Baochai hurriedly praised: "Miss Pan has a straightforward and generous personality, and she is familiar with poetry and books, and her character and talent are excellent. ”
Lu Jing nodded and said, "Since the girl of the Pan family has an excellent character, and the Pan family's family background is worthy of the Xue family, what is your family's dissatisfaction with this marriage?" ”
Xue Baochai was speechless, and he couldn't say that it was because he was ugly, and if his brother knew about it, he would make trouble. Although Pan Yueniang didn't say much, it can be learned from her words that her brother fell into someone else's calculations, and Pan Yueniang just obeyed her mother's orders and passively accepted this marriage.
Lu Jing continued to persuade: "As the so-called marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous wife, if you marry a wife who is as beautiful as a flower but whose heart is like a snake and scorpion, it is better to marry an ugly one." ”
Xue Baochai thought of Xia Jingui's character, and didn't know how to refute it for a while, so he could only look at Lu Jing helplessly, blaming him for not having a backache when he stood and talked.
Ying'er stood at the door and said, "Is the adult willing to marry an ugly wife?" ”
After hearing this, Xue Baochai hurriedly blamed Ying'er and said: "How can you have a lot of mouth!" After speaking, he looked at Lu Jing to see how he answered.
Lu Jing smiled and said: "How can you judge a wife with beauty and ugliness, naturally it is important to emphasize virtue rather than color, and beauty and ugliness are relative, just like you are naturally ugly compared to your young lady!" ”
Ying'er continued: "Then is my young lady a beauty in the eyes of adults? ”
Lu Jing was about to answer, when he suddenly changed his words and asked, "What do you think?" ”
Ying'er hurriedly stepped into the house and said, "The five benefits of our girl are really inferior to other women." ”
Lu Jing asked, "What are the five benefits?" ”
Xue Baochai wanted to stop Ying'er from talking nonsense, but seeing Lu Jing's curious look, he sat quietly aside.
Ying'er saw that the girl didn't stop her, so she smiled and said: "First, I have a warm personality, I don't like or get angry, no matter how good or bad people are treated, I have a clear understanding in my heart, and I am also comfortable and comfortable, and I don't speak harshly." ”
Lu Jing nodded and said, "This is one thing." ”
Ying'er continued: "Second, the kung fu in poetry books is very deep, and it is not worse than Miss Lin. ”
"It can also be considered a good!" Lu Jing continued to nod.
"Third, which one of the jobs is not fine, the same flower thread will spit out brilliance in her hands, and I don't know what it looks like to cooperate with the twisting, and I pulled a needle, so superb."
Lu Jing continued: "What else? ”
Ying'er said with a smile: "The cold incense pills taken by the girl, the fragrance on the body is revealed from the skin, other people's clothes should be incense, as long as she wears her clothes for a few days, she will take off the residual fragrance, if she often wears it, it will be very fragrant." ”
Xue Baochai saw Ying'er talking about this, so she hurriedly stopped her from talking.
Ying'er saw that the girl looked unhappy, and hurriedly swallowed the fifth benefit she was about to say.
Lu Jing smiled: "I don't know how good you girls are, but I found that you have two benefits that others can't compare." ”
Ying'er was curious: "Which two?" ”
Lu Jing said with a smile: "One is that Luozi played well, and the other is to praise your girls for their good praise." ”
Ying'er saw Lu Jing joking, and hurriedly asked, "The adults haven't said whether my girl is a beauty or not?" ”
Lu Jing nodded and said: "Your girl is naturally a beauty, but there are countless beauties throughout the ages, all of them are the spirit of the sky, each has its own merits, naturally there are those who are better than the inner son, and the talent is better than the inner son, but in my heart the inner child is always the most beautiful." ”
Xue Baochai and Ying'er were happy when they heard Lu Jing's first words, and suddenly heard him praise Daiyu, and instantly felt like they had been splashed with a basin of cold water, and all of a sudden, they were cold from head to toe.
Xue Baochai even heard from these words that Lu Jing valued Daiyu, and the meaning of his words all showed that if he wanted to enter the Lu family, he needed to surrender to Daiyu, and his heart was a little gloomy in an instant.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little dull, Lu Jing continued to talk about business and asked, "Have you already told your brother about Pan Yueniang's appearance?" ”
"No, I just met her today." Xue Baochai shook his head gloomily and said, if he told his brother, he didn't know what would happen to him, and because he noticed that there was something wrong with this matter, he unconsciously came to seek Lu Jing's help.
After hearing this, Lu Jing persuaded: "Since this is the case, I advise you not to tell him." ”
Xue Baochai was puzzled: "Why is this?" ”
Lu Jing continued: "Presumably you also know your brother's temperament, if he makes trouble, it will only hurt both sides, with his temperament, if he marries a wife who can control him, his temperament must be much more restrained, I think this marriage is very good." ”
"But, but, if she marries, if my brother sees her appearance, he will still make trouble!" Xue Baochai thought for a while and said.
Lu Jing smiled: "It depends on whether your sister-in-law can lower your brother, and whether you are willing to help her." ”
Xue Baochai frowned and pondered, although Pan Yueniang has a generous personality, she is very assertive, and her figure is more burly than her brother, if you talk about skills, you should be able to subdue your brother, but after all, she is a little dissatisfied with Pan Yueniang's appearance.
Lu Jing continued: "Do you think that someone is calculating the Xue family in this matter? ”
Xue Baochai nodded and said, "That's right!" ”
Lu Jing said with a smile: "Judging from the few people you just said, I can conclude that the person who calculates your brother is a member of the Jia family, presumably your brother has provoked someone recently, and she has arranged a good family affair for your brother." ”
Xue Baochai suddenly realized after this reminder that Jia Rong, Jia Qiang, and Jia Yun were all close to Sister Feng, and when he heard his brother say that Jia Lian's outer room was arranged by him, he immediately understood that the person behind him was Sister Feng.
Lu Jing continued to persuade: "I don't think you have to resent Sister Feng, it's also a coincidence that you have this good marriage." ”
Xue Baochai lowered her head when she heard this, and thought secretly, it is estimated that Sister Feng wants to find a daughter-in-law with a strong personality and an ugly appearance for her brother, but Pan Yueniang's personality is not bad, and she is more and more dissatisfied with Sister Feng in her heart, feeling that she does not miss her relatives.
After Lu Jing finished speaking, he stopped talking, this matter had nothing to do with him, he paid attention to this matter just to reduce trouble in the future, and persuaded Xue Baochai to do the same, hoping that the Xue family and the Jia family could settle down a little bit, and save the trouble in the future.
Xue Baochai didn't have much expectation when he came to see Lu Jing, but when he persuaded him like this, his heart was also a little shaken, and he decided to investigate Pan Yueniang again, if his character is really good, he can fulfill this marriage.
After thinking for a while, he asked, "Do you know about Lord Mei Ruoqimei of the Hanlin Academy?" ”
Lu Jing asked knowingly: "In September, Master Mei was transferred to Shaanxi, and his family was outside, what did you ask him about?" ”
Xue Baochai said: "Because my cousin in the family has been married to the Mei family, I have this question. ”
Lu Jing thought about it and persuaded him: "Since you have already been with others, you must pay attention to some reputation." ”
Xue Baochai was surprised: "What do you mean, my lord?" ”
Lu Jing quoted a Fu and said: "Advance with courtesy, retreat with righteousness, must correct its name, Si Ke, men and women live together without fear, oil and oil with it, let go of evil and luxury, everything is done, those who come do not refuse, Gass is only." ”
Xue Baochai knew that what he said was that everyone lived in the Grand View Garden and did not avoid the suspicion of men and women, so he hurriedly explained: "I have already moved out of the garden, and my cousin now lives with the old lady and does not live in the garden. ”
Lu Jing nodded and said: "Since Master Mei is a family of poetry and books, presumably the rules at home are extremely strict, so it is better not to fall into the mouth." ”
Xue Baochai blessed and said: "Thank you for telling me, Baochai will explain this matter to my cousin!" ”
When Lu Jing saw that the matter was finished, he said: "If you have nothing to do, please go back, if you have something in the future, you don't have to stop me in the middle of the road every time, you can come here directly, but if there is nothing important in the future, you don't have to look for me!" ”
Xue Baochai nodded when he heard this, and after giving a salute, he took Ying'er to say goodbye and leave.
