Fu Jingene's work efficiency is still very high, and he told Master Tan about it at noon the next day.

Just as Fu Jingene expected, Bachelor Tan was happy to see this family business come to fruition.

When Master Tan returned home, he asked his entourage to call Tan Jingye over and told him about it.

When Tan Jingye heard that Master Tan was going to say goodbye to him, he immediately became vigilant: "Second uncle, which Lin family?" ”

Bachelor Tan said: "Her sister Miss Lin is now serving as a bookkeeper in the Ministry of Rites, and Miss Lin's fiancé Fu Jingene is now in Hanlin. ”

Many people in Qingshu only heard of his name but did not see him, but he had seen it when Fu Jingene was traveling across the streets.

Tan Jingye asked with his heart: "Second uncle, what kind of person is this second girl of the Lin family?" ”

Bachelor Tan said: "Lin Er girl is relatively handsome, at the age of six she studied in the Lan family women's private school for two years, and then studied in Kyoto Girls' School for five years, and after graduation, she went to teach in a private school. I specially asked your aunt to inquire, this girl is very lively and cheerful. ”

It was also because An An's temperament was completely different from Qingshu's that he would agree. If it's the same as Qingshu, no matter how good the conditions are, you can't agree.

Tan Jingye said with some hesitation: "Second uncle, why did Second Miss Lin fall in love with me if her conditions are so good?" ”

Master Tan said: "Her sister is famous, and many people are more taboo, so it's not easy to talk about family affairs. Don't be presumptuous, you are a person at a young age, and you have not insulted him with her. ”

He also knew that Tan Jingye's background was fine, except that he was not bad looking, and he had no other advantages in making a name for himself. And this fame is still a fluke, and it will be difficult to pass the test in the future unless it is lucky. So he thinks it's a good thing.

Tan Jingye was a little hesitant.

Bachelor Tan said: "Although Fu Jingene is only a six-grade editor now, he has the scheming and means to win the blue eyes of His Royal Highness the eldest grandson. If you marry Lin Er, having such a brother-in-law will be of great benefit to you in the future. ”

The more he said this, the more uneasy Tan Jingye became. His cousin is only younger than him, and he has not yet decided on a marriage, if Miss Lin is really so good, how can his second aunt cheapen him? must have been clinging to his own son first.

"Second uncle, let me think about this for a few days."

Bachelor Tan has been in the officialdom for many years, how can he not see that he has doubts: "If you have anything to say, you don't have to worry about anything." ”

Tan Jingye weighed it and said, "Second uncle, is there something wrong with this second girl of the Lin family?" ”

Master Tan looked at him in surprise and said, "Why do you think like that?" If there is anything wrong with her, how will the husband of the private school hire her? I sent someone to inquire, and the girl did a good job in the private school and was very liked by the students. ”

Hearing him say this, Tan Jingye thought about it and asked, "Second uncle, since Miss Lin is so good, why don't you decide to give it to Jingshi?" ”

Master Tan understood the meaning of his words, and said immediately: "It's not me who is the second girl Lin in your picture, it's you in Fu Hanlin's picture." ”

Tan Jingye was immediately relieved, and said that it was impossible for his uncle to think about him first with such a good condition for Second Miss Lin, otherwise his second aunt would not have to make a fuss if she knew it.

Before, because Tan Jingshi was disrespectful to him, and the second wife of Tan protected her son and complained about him, Tan Jingye moved out in anger.

"Second uncle, I haven't seen Fu Hanlin, why did he fall in love with me?"

Master Tan said: "I don't know about this. This family affair is really hard to find with a lantern, if you miss it, you will definitely not be able to find a better one than Lin Er Girl. ”

Tan Jingye also relented: "Second uncle, I want to see this Lin Er girl." ”

Hearing is false, seeing is believing, after all, marrying a wife is a lifelong event, so it's better to be cautious. If you are caught, it will be troublesome to withdraw from your relatives in the future.

Master Tan nodded and said, "I'll ask Fu Hanlin tomorrow and give you an answer." ”

As a result, on the second day, Master Tan said to him: "Fu Hanlin said that you met not long ago. ”

Now that we've met, there's no need to arrange another meeting.

Tan Jingye was a little confused: "I've seen it, when?" ”

After saying this, he suddenly remembered An An who appeared in front of the stall. In retrospect, this was obviously wrong, and even if you were illiterate, you couldn't go to the street to find someone to write a letter to.

Master Tan said with a smile: "Fu Hanlin said that you picked up Miss Lin's pearl hairpin in the back mountain of Lingshan Temple that day, and he said that you two can be regarded as the matchmaker of the Buddha." ”

Tan Jingye thought that An An would run away when he saw him, and couldn't help asking, "Does Miss Lin agree with this parent?" ”

Master Tan nodded and said, "Second Miss Lin knew that you were the one who picked up her hairpin that day, so she agreed." ”

As for how Miss Lin knew that it was Tan Jingye who picked up the hairpin, he didn't ask.

Tan Jingye said: "I want to listen to her in person, otherwise I won't feel at ease." ”

Bachelor Tan said with a smile: "Such a big matter, how could Fu Hanlin decide it without the consent of Old Madam Gu and her sisters. But if you want to meet them, I'll tell them. ”

The Lin family readily agreed, and they didn't choose the place to meet, and they directly lost the pearl hairpin in the mountain behind Lingshan Temple.

An An was dressed up beautifully this day, but when she saw Tan Jingye, she was so ashamed that she couldn't speak.

Tan Jingye knew her attitude when he saw her shy appearance, he was very happy in his heart, but he still said: "Miss Lin, I don't know my situation, you don't know clearly?" ”

"I know that you don't like your mother, and I don't know anything else."

Tan Jingye said: "My mother doesn't like me, if you marry me, she will not give you a good face when she returns to Shandong with me in the future." ”

An An said: "As long as I don't live with her all the time, I can bear it for a short time." ”

Tan Jingye's heart was relieved: "Don't worry about this, my mother will definitely live with my eldest brother in the future, and I will not stay in Heze." ”

An An also asked: "Then what if she wants to keep me in Heze to do my filial piety?" ”

Tan Jingye said: "No matter where I go, I will definitely take my wife and children with me." ”

An An said again: "What if she wants to live with us in the future?" If she doesn't like me, I don't want to live with her, otherwise we will torture each other. ”

Tan Jingye never thought about this problem, because Mrs. Tan's disgust for him was definitely unwilling to live with him. But there is a chance in everything, and if his mother insists on coming to live with him, she can't stop it.

Tan Jingye thought for a while and said: "My mother is very particular, if the place where she lives is not good, she will not move to live with us." ”

"But my sister bought me a two-entry house in Goldfish Alley, and I will definitely live there in the future."

Tan Jingye glanced at her and said, "The house in Goldfish Hutong is not cheap!" ”

"Well, my two-entry house cost more than 5,000 taels of silver, and the thief is expensive. But my brother-in-law lives there, and my sister wants me to live closer to each other so that we can take care of each other in the future. ”

Tan Jingye thought it was very good, and said: "If you live in your dowry, then my mother will not come." My mother is a good-faced person, and it is impossible to live in her daughter-in-law's dowry house. ”

An An was immediately relieved, but the polite words still had to say: "If she wants to come to stay, I will definitely welcome it." But I have to call the shots at home, and she can't tell the fingers. ”

"Of course, you are the mistress of the house, and you naturally have the final say in the affairs of the inner house."

This attitude made An An very satisfied: "You can ask any other questions." ”

Tan Jingye shook his head and said, "No." ”
