Zhu Jue felt that the third girl Xie San in front of him was different from the girl of the Wu family.

His mother often told him that the girl of the Wu family, how good she is, how beautiful she looks, how proficient she is in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she can also write poetry and songs, and she can also talk to her.

But he wants to marry a wife, not to marry a confidant and friend of his own, and when a colleague comes back, even if she looks like a fairy, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, so what?

He doesn't like it, he doesn't like it.

I just don't like it, I can't look at it.

Mrs. Zhu Jue promised Zhu Jue the six girls of Peng Chengbo's Wu family, Wu Qianyu.

Peng Chengbo's Wu family is the maiden family of the Queen Mother.

Now the old uncle of Peng Chengbo is the younger brother of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother and the official family have seriously injured this old uncle.

His mother told him that the six girls of the Wu family were willing to marry him, and they looked down on him, and they were already the ancestors of the Zhu family.

Their Zhu family is just a merchant family, while Peng Chengbo's Wu family is a high-ranking dignitary in Tokyo.

His mother also told him that if the eldest brother was still alive, he would definitely listen to her words and marry the six girls of the Wu family to enter the house.

But the big brother is no longer there, and he is not the big brother.

Besides, if the eldest brother is really alive, he will definitely not want to marry someone he doesn't like.

The six girls of the Wu family, although they are not from the eldest lady of the Wu family, but from the concubine Aunt Lin, although they are concubines, they are not worse than concubines at all.

A few days ago, Zhu Jue accompanied Mrs. Zhu to Pengchengbo's Wu family, and Mrs. Zhu made an appointment with Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Ji, the eldest lady of the Wu family, to let Zhu Jue and the six girls of the Wu family look at each other.

As a result, Zhu Jue only glanced at it a few times, and said in front of several elders of the Wu family that he didn't like the six girls of the Wu family, and said that he wanted to withdraw from the marriage.

The wife of the Zhu family, Ma Shi, was afraid of offending several ladies in Pengchengbo's mansion, so she hurriedly made amends and led Zhu Jue out of the Wu family.

Afterwards, Mrs. Zhu bought off the mother-in-law who was serving beside Mrs. Ji of the Wu family, and asked about the reaction of Mrs. Ji of the Wu family after that day, Ji was the mother-in-law, and she didn't care about the six girls of the Wu family, so she didn't take it to heart.

However, Mrs. Peng Chengbo's wife, Zhou, saw a businessman's family, disliked her own girl, and lost her temper in front of several wives of the Wu family in the mansion.

I heard that this matter finally spread to the palace and to the ears of the Queen Mother.

When the Empress Dowager heard that something like this had happened in her brother's mansion, she sent her aunt who was waiting around her out of the palace to appease Mrs. Peng Chengbo, Zhou, and canceled the marriage.

After hearing about it, the wife of the Zhu family, Ma, was afraid of offending the nobles in Tokyo City, so she hurriedly led Zhu Jue out of Tokyo City and went to Jinling City.

Zhu Jue walked to the place where Xie Yunjin had just stood, and sniffed the smell in the air carefully, the faint fragrance of flowers on Xie Yunjin's body was still in place.

The fragrance made him linger for a long time.

He didn't like any girl from the Wu family, he fell in love with her.

After returning to Qingluo Courtyard, Rue Xiang went down to prepare a hot bath for Xie Yunjin, Yuelan stayed in the house, packed up a change of clothes for Xie Yunjin, and Yulan went down to make hot tea.

Seeing that there were no maids and servants waiting around, Yuelan dared to be bold and reminded the girl.

"Girl, the slave and maid look at it, the second son of the Zhu family, looking at the girl's eyes, it is very different, the second son of the Zhu family seems to be interested in the girl. Men and women don't kiss, the girl saw the second son of the Zhu family in the future, or avoided it. ”

Yuelan combed Xie Yunjin's hair in a bun while reminding her in a low voice.

Yuelan and Zhulan were instructed by their grandmother to serve her.

Rue Xiang and Magnolia were pointed out by Ah Niang to serve her.

Yuelan said this, presumably because she was afraid that this matter would reach her grandmother's ears, and her grandmother would not be very happy when she heard it.

In fact, there is no need for Yuelan to talk to her.

Xie Yunjin himself also felt it, the second son of the Zhu family, I was afraid that he didn't come to her to ask for directions, but if he had something to say, he just wanted to talk to her.

It's just that those words, he couldn't say for a while.

Fortunately, at that time, there were no maids and servants around, and if they were seen, they were afraid that this matter would be spread.

She, an unmarried girl from Yunying, met a foreign man alone, but she was afraid that it would affect the marriage proposal.

Xie Yunjin nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Today I saw the matter of the second son of the Zhu family, so it's better not to spread it. At that time, there were only a few of you who were serving by my side, and if this matter got out and I was reprimanded by my grandmother or Auntie, you would not be able to escape. ”

Xie Yunjin accentuated his tone, and just said a few words to Yuelan.

Yuelan nodded and said.

"Since a few of us are serving by the girl's side, that is, the girl is her own person, and the girl's honor and disgrace are one, such a thing that damages the girl's reputation, and the slaves and maids dare not publicize it."

Xie Yunjin knew that even if he didn't tell Yuelan, a few of them would be tight-lipped.

They are serving by their side, if they see Zhu Jue privately, the matter of Zhu Jue is spreading, grandmother and A-Niang will only reprimand them a few words, and a few of the maids who serve them will be beaten out of the house with sticks.

After Xie Yunjin bathed, he fell asleep early.

Tonight, Rue Xiang was on duty, so Rue Xiang stayed in Xie Yunjin's house, and Yuelan stayed in the ear room next door.

……

Early in the morning, the second room of the Xie family in Jinling City handed over the news and gave it to Mrs. Lin.

Yu said that these days Jinling has been raining constantly, and it is inconvenient to enter and exit, and it is not until the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15 that he can go down to Qiantang and pick up Mrs. Lin to go back to Jinling.

Because she had to return to Jinling after August 15, Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Xie discussed, Mrs. Lin decided to accompany Mrs. Xie, and during the Mid-Autumn Festival, they went to Jinshan Temple in Hangzhou City, prayed for blessings, and met Fahai Zen Master by the way.

Mrs. Lin wanted to stay in Qiantang for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the festival gift of the Xie family's two rooms and three rooms was sent down early.

The second room of the Xie family prepared a white marble carved Guanyin Bodhisattva for Mrs. Xie, the jade quality is transparent, and the carving skills are also superior, Mrs. Xie just took a look, and felt like it, and prepared for the Mid-Autumn Festival on the day, brought it to Jinshan Temple, and invited the monks in Jinshan Temple to open the light.

The third room of the Xie family prepared a pair of fine ginseng for Mrs. Xie, as well as a few boxes of Ganoderma lucidum and a few boxes of cordyceps, although they are not very valuable, but they are a heart, and the Bai family is also in the house, so Mrs. Xie also accepted it and stored it in the library.

Because Mrs. Lin is an old lady in the second and third rooms, although she is now a guest in the Xie family, the second and third rooms still gave Mrs. Lin a gift in advance, and the second room prepared a pair of purple jade Ruyi for Mrs. Lin, the water head of the purple jade is excellent, compared to the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva in white marble, it is much better.

The third room also prepared a jade Ruyi for Mrs. Xie, which is a pair of jade Ruyi carved out of rosewood, with excellent carving skills, and red sandalwood is also superior.

The reason why the two rooms and three rooms gave the gifts to Mrs. Lin are all jade Ruyi, because next year will be Mrs. Lin's 60th birthday, and it is also meaningful to give jade Ruyi this year.

The Boxing gifts from the second and third rooms are for everyone.

Luo got a box of jewels and jade rings, as well as a few fine silks, Xie Huaizhi got a few ancient paintings of the Southern Song Dynasty from the second room master, and an ancient ink gift from the third room master.

Xie Yunjia and Xie Yunxi received the same gifts, one box of lake pens, plus four or five knives of Chengxin paper.

Xie Yunjin got a box of bead flowers from the second room, plus Jinling velvet flowers from the third room.

Xie Yunjin felt that the velvet flower was novel, and when he opened the box, he asked Yuelan Yunxiang Magnolia a few maids who were serving closely, one person took two, and the remaining few maids who were waiting in the courtyard, Xie Yunjin took a box of golden melon seeds sent by the second room the year before last, and one person grabbed a small half.

When they received the feast, they were all smiling.

I saw Xie Yunjin and said straight.

"Hello girl, girl Wanfu, girl Wan'an."

After listening to a day's "Hello girl, girl Wanfu, girl Wan'an." Xie Yunjin was tired of hearing it.

After dinner, Xie Yunjin went to Minghe Courtyard, Xie Yunjin heard that Xie Huaizhi had returned home, and she was going to go to Minghe Courtyard to meet Daddy.

Xie Yunjin entered the Minghe Courtyard and turned into the inner hall, only to see Sun Niangzi and Wen Niangzi and others, guarding outside the house, and Xu Niangzi carrying the medicine box and entering the house.

Xie Huaizhi was lying on the soft couch, Luo was massaging Xie Huaizhi's head, and Xie Yunjin hid behind the screen and listened to a few words.

"I heard Dong Rong say, you have been staying in the yamen these days, you always don't sleep well at night, and you often have nightmares, or I will go and invite the temple of Niangniang Temple to wish Falin Fangtai, go to your yamen to see, is there anything unclean in your yamen?"

"Jin Niang had nightmares before, and it was also because there were unclean things in the yard, so I invited Mrs. Farin Fang to go to your yamen to have a look, and I am so relieved."

Roche was worried about Xie Huaizhi.

Xie Huaizhi looked very tired, lying on the couch crookedly, the dark circles on his eyes were extremely heavy, as if he had not slept well for several days and nights.

"No need, what kind of place is Yamen? What kind of cow, ghost, snake and god dare to go to the yamen to make trouble? I'm just too tired, worried about Jinniang, worried about you. ”

"Yesterday, when I invited Dr. Wu from Changchun Xiandong to go to the Yamen, Dr. Wu also said, your back injury is not good, and you are still using medicine these days. You don't have to do everything yourself, just explain to Mrs. Wen to do it. ”
