When Fang Cai Luo went out with Sun Niangzi, Yuan Niangzi got the order of Mrs. Xie and sent a breakfast made in the small kitchen in Shou'an Hall to Qingluo Courtyard.

Mrs. Xie was born in Houmen and is the only daughter of the Hou Mansion.

The breakfast in the Hou Mansion was exquisite, and the table was almost full.

After Mrs. Xie married into the Xie family, this habit has not changed.

When Yuan Niangzi came over, she was followed by three or four little girls carrying food boxes, and each little girl was carrying a dish in her hand.

Looking at the table full of dishes, Roche was a little unaccustomed for a while.

"It's just breakfast, the old lady asked someone to bring so many meals, in case Jinniang can't finish it, wouldn't it be a waste."

Luo said and turned his head to glance at the Yuan lady beside Xie Yunjin.

Yuan Niangzi is Mrs. Xie's right-hand man, and she takes care of the trivial matters in Shou'an Hall with her mother.

The old lady felt sorry for Miss Jin, and said that Miss Jin had lost a lot of weight these days and needed to make up for it. The old lady also said that if the mother-in-law on the stove in the girl's house was not good at cooking, the old lady could invite a better cook for the girl. ”

The implication of Yuan Niangzi's words is that the people under her are not doing things well.

watched Jin Niang get thinner and thinner, but she was indifferent.

Luo was about to reply, only to hear Xie Yunjin on the side muttering a few words.

"Mother, the Guanghan cake in my grandmother's house is so delicious, I don't know what it's made of?"

Hearing Xie Yunjin ask, Yuan Niangzi immediately replied with a smile.

"The girl really knows how to eat, this Guanghan cake is made of osmanthus to remove the green pedicle, sprinkled with licorice water, and glutinous rice flour kneaded evenly to make it. The taste is the sweetest, and the old lady can eat three or four pieces at a time. ”

"It's just that this Guanghan cake is not restrained, and a few of us who are serving by the old lady's side can't watch the old lady eat too much, and when the old lady eats about the same, we will secretly move the Guanghan cake aside."

Mrs. Xie is from the Hou Mansion, and her words and deeds, including dressing and eating, have the style of the Hou Mansion.

Roche only thinks that these are cumbersome and unnecessary.

When Xie Yunjin had eaten almost, Yuan Niangzi instructed a few maids who had just followed and asked them to take away all the leftover meals that Xie Yunjin had eaten.

"Girl, if there is nothing to do, the old slave will go back first."

Yuan Niangzi came over at the order of Mrs. Xie.

After seeing Xie Yunjin have breakfast, she naturally has to go back to her life.

Luo asked Xu Niangzi to personally send Yuan Niangzi out.

After Xu Niangzi sent Yuan Niangzi out, Luo instructed Ruxiang to retire the servant woman who was waiting in the house, and she had a few words to say to Xie Yunjin alone.

Seeing that the servant woman waiting in the room retreated, Luo took Xie Yunjin's hand and entered the inner room.

"Jin Niang, at the beginning of the month, your uncle sent a letter, saying that your aunt had given birth to Brother Chang, and the family was now lively. Said that when I was free, I would take you back to Suzhou to see them. ”

Xie Yunjin nodded.

My mother got the news at the beginning of the month, why did she tell her now?

Could it be that her mother hid something from her?

After Xu Niangzi sent Yuan Niangzi out, she turned back, entered the house, and continued to wait by Luo's side.

Luo looked at Xie Yunjin in front of him, paused, and decided to tell her the truth of the matter.

"In addition to asking me to go back and be lively together, your uncle also wants to give your marriage a decision. Your uncle's cousin Qilin, who is one year older than you, went to the middle of the year to raise people, and this year, if he wins the Jinshi, their family will come to the door to propose. ”

"Your cousin Qilin, I have played well with you since I was a child, my character and appearance are good, and I am your uncle's family, if you marry, your aunt will not embarrass you too much."

Xie Yunjin didn't speak, lowered his head and thought about it for a while.

Uncle Luo's eldest cousin, Luo Qilin, is indeed one year older than her.

She also has some impressions of this cousin.

Luo Qilin is the grandson of the Luo family, the people who will support the Luo family in the future, Uncle Luo, Aunt Luo, and Mrs. Luo all love him very much.

But in her dream, she dreamed that Luo Qilin died not long after being hit by the Jinshi.

After winning the Jinshi, Cousin Luo followed a few friends to the lake to eat and drink, Cousin Luo drank too much that night, and when he was swimming in the lake, he accidentally fell into the lake.

Since then, he has never gotten up again.

The corpse salvage team invited by the Luo family turned over in the lake and turned almost the entire lake upside down, but still did not find the body of Cousin Luo.

Later, Aunt Luo accompanied Mrs. Luo to the temple to burn incense and pray for blessings, hoping that the Buddha could bless him, and he would see people in life and corpses in death.

It's strange to say that Uncle Luo's mother went to the temple to burn incense the day before, and she dreamed of Cousin Luo that night.

Cousin Luo asked his aunt to say that his body had drifted down the river to the Qiantang River.

If you don't find it as soon as possible, I'm afraid that you will be washed into the sea along the Qiantang River.

Aunt Luo was in a hurry, and immediately found a corpse salvage team on the second day and went to the Qiantang River to find Luo's cousin's body.

Sure enough, on the beach downstream of the Qiantang River, Cousin Luo's body was found.

Cousin Luo's body had been soaked in water for a long time, and it had become unrecognizable.

After Cousin Luo was gone, Aunt Luo was sad, and within a few years, it was gone.

Uncle Luo became depressed after experiencing the pain of losing his son and wife, and later the Luo family was defeated, and Uncle Luo did not survive.

These things were all dreamed of by Xie Yunjin.

She knew that these things would happen in the near future.

In her impression, Luo Qilin is at least a good person, she should at least help him, and she must not watch him die in vain.

Xie Yunjin didn't speak for a long time, and Luo looked at her dull gaze, a little worried in his heart.

Jin Niang is her heart, but she must not have another accident.

"What are you thinking about?"

Luo Che gently patted Xie Yunjin's head.

was patted on the head by Luo, and Xie Yunjin immediately came back to his senses.

"Mother, Jin Niang doesn't want to talk about marriage yet. Although Cousin Kirin is a good one, after all, we haven't seen each other in all these years, and I can't even remember what Cousin Kirin looks like, so how can I get engaged to Cousin Kirin like this. ”

"Otherwise, if you write a letter back to your uncle, you will say that Jin Niang is still young, and it is not too late to talk about marriage in a few years."

Listening to Xie Yunjin say this, Luo also felt that if he rashly married Jin Niang like this, he was afraid that it would not be good.

It's just that the agreement with my brother in the early years is afraid that it will be invalidated.

It's okay if Jin Niang doesn't marry to the Luo family.

Qilin is the eldest grandson of the Luo family, and the Luo family will support the court in the future, if Jin Niang marries, she will become the eldest grandson's daughter-in-law, and she will do things under the Qin family and the Gui family, but I am afraid that it is not good.

"What Jin Niang said is that my mother will write to your uncle now, explaining the reason for our divorce, and I want your uncle to see it, and he will not be too harsh on us or anything."

Luo's words fell, and the two children and grandchildren of Xu Niang were supported by each other, and they went out of Qingluo Courtyard.

When Luo went far away, Xie Yunjin called Zhulan in, she had one thing to do, and she had to explain to Zhulan alone.

"Zhulan, I want you to send someone to Suzhou to inquire, who are the people who are good friends with my cousin? When the investigation is clear, you can go back to your home! ”

Xie Yunjin said, took out five hundred taels of silver tickets from the hand ornament box on the multi-treasure shelf, and handed them to Zhulan in person.

Zhulan is a native of Suzhou.

After he was older, he was sold to Hangzhou by Ya Po.

It would be better for her to inquire about it herself.

Xie Yunjin was sure that it was not an accident that Cousin Luo fell into the water and drowned.

Someone must have done it on purpose.

Otherwise, if the person fell into the water in Hangzhou, how could he go to the Qiantang River?

There are indeed too many doubts about this matter.

It has to be suspicious.

In the dream before, Uncle Luo and Aunt Luo must have been carried away by grief and did not react for a while, so Cousin Luo finally died in vain.

Zhulan raised her head and glanced at the girl, she was going to ask the girl, and let her investigate the friends around the young master of the Luo family, what was it for.

But when she raised her head and saw Xie Yunjin, she couldn't say anything.

She felt that the girl was not the same girl she used to be.

The girl seems to have changed.

She couldn't tell where the girl had changed.

The girl sent her to Suzhou to investigate the matter of the friends around the young master of the Luo family, the girl must have her own intentions, and she still didn't ask.

In the Minghe Courtyard, Xu Niangzi went to Shou'an Hall to reply to Mrs. Xie, and Luo left Sun Niangzi alone in the house.

"Jin Niang's eight characters and Qilin's eight characters, how are you compatible? Is it a good marriage?"

Luo Shi sat on the soft couch and drank tea, while Sun Niangzi sat on the side, pinching the eight characters of Xie Yunjin and Luo Qilin.

After a while, Sun Niangzi finished it.

"Madam, the young master of the Luo family is not a good one, he is a short-lived one. If the girl marries, within three years, the girl will be widowed! ”

"How so?" The tea cup of the Doucai butterfly group flower in Luo's hand was not held steady for a while and fell to the ground.

"The unicorn is short-lived? Are you sure?" Luo was not at ease, and asked Mrs. Sun again.

"Won't Madame believe the old slave? The grandmother of the old slave has been a goddess in the township since she was a child, and the old slave's physiognomy was also taught by her grandmother. The eight characters of the young master of the Luo family are really not good, they are not a good match, please think twice! ”

Mrs. Sun knelt on the ground and replied word by word.

According to what Sun Niangzi said, Jin Niang did not marry the Luo family, it was the right choice.

If she listened to her brother's words and married Jin Niang to the Luo family, within a few years, Jin Niang would be widowed, and the rest of Jin Niang's life would be ruined.

Jin Niang can't be widowed, and Jin Niang can't be allowed to marry the Luo family.

"Today I called you over to combine the Qilin and Jin Niang eight characters, except for me, no one asks you to reply to her."

Luo Shi instructed Sun Niangzi a few words, and let Sun Niangzi go out first.

She also has to think about it, how she has to explain the marriage between Jinniang and Qilin to her brother.

Since the unicorn is short-lived, Jin Niang will never be able to marry the Luo family.

……

In Shou'an Hall, Mrs. Xie slept for a long time after breakfast.

Not long after I got up, I went into the small Buddhist hall behind the house to copy the scriptures.

In a few days, Mrs. Xie will take Xie Yunjin to Jinshan Temple to repay her vows, and by the way, she will invite Zen Master Fahai to her home.

Mrs. Xie was preparing to offer a volume of the Lotus Sutra in front of the Buddha, and Luo had been copying the scriptures in the small Buddha hall for the past few days.
