Xu Xuan looked at Yu Tang's appearance, winked at her mischievously, and said, "Guess who it is?" ”

Yu Tang couldn't help laughing and said, "I originally thought it was someone from the Xu and Li families, but it seems that it is not." Don't hang my appetite, I don't believe it, you won't tell me after lunch. ”

Xu Xuan laughed.

Indeed, she also looked for it from Xu and Li before. It's just because these two families have girls of the same age as Wei Xiaochuan. She couldn't help but say, "Of course I want to marry your family again!" But someone came to me, and after thinking about it, he thought that this family business might be better, so he cheekily went to the door and asked what you meant. ”

That is to say, it was the woman who took the initiative to mention this family business!

But Wei Xiaochuan has been studying at home since he came to Beijing, and he has never walked around, who will take a fancy to him?

Yu Tang was still a little worried about meeting someone like the Song family or the Wu family.

She still hopes that Wei Xiaochuan's future wife will pay more attention to Wei Xiaochuan's character and knowledge.

Yu Tang couldn't help but sit upright and said, "Who do you want to be a matchmaker?" ”

Xu Xuan also got serious and said with a smile: "Don't say it's you, even I, I never dreamed of it-it's Shen Fang Shen Gongzi, who lives in your house, and wants to protect his sister." ”

"Ahh Yu Tang was dumbfounded.

Xu Xuan also sighed: "Who would have thought!" It stands to reason that they also know each other, and if they had this thought, they should have said it a long time ago. How did I get to the capital, and I didn't mention it until now. I still heard that you asked me to be a matchmaker for Wei Gongzi, and I begged for my name in all directions. As she spoke, she changed her words and praised, "It can be seen that the Shen family very much hopes to form this family business." I thought about it and thought it was pretty good. Shen Fang can be the clan of the Shen family. ”

His sister is the daughter of the Shen family.

What's more, the woman took the initiative to ask for marriage, which was full of sincerity.

Yu Tang is even more afraid of what they don't know.

Xu Xuan said to her carefully: "I said that I knew each other before, but we only talked to each other a few times, and I knew that Young Master Wei was good at learning and studying hard, and I admired it very much." On the way to the capital this time, I found that Young Master Wei is also a very good person, open-minded, resolute, and assertive, and is a rare person with good character and pure kindness. Shen Gongzi has a young sister, who is the old daughter of his parents, with outstanding appearance, demure and virtuous, and her parents regard her as a palm bead, and do not want her to marry far away. He added, "He actually mentioned it to me for a few days, and I haven't seen his sister, so it's hard to agree, so I made an excuse and asked Mrs. Qin to help inquire." It was said that the girl was really good. I pondered that the Shen family has not produced any third-grade officials in the past few years, but there are many officials in the clan, and last year there was also a Pei Bo and Pei Chan of your family who were in the same year, but they failed to enter the Shu Jishi and were sent to Jiangxi to be officials. Although Wei Gongzi's family is thinner, he is Shen Fang's own eyes, and he has become a relative, and Uncle Lang is suitable, so naturally there is no contradiction. What do you think? ”

No wonder Shen Fang has been avoiding Wei Xiaochuan for the past few days!

Yu Tang said with a smile: "If you talk about family background, it is naturally our family Xiaochuan who takes advantage. But you also know that marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person, especially in a situation like the Wei family, is counting on Xiaochuan Guangzong to show off his ancestors, although he is the youngest son, he is no less than the eldest son. ”

"Got it!" Xu Xuan smiled, "Then I'll press it first, and I'll wait until you inquire clearly." ”

"It doesn't have to be that way." Yu Tang has always felt that she has to exchange her heart for heart, she said, "You just tell Shen Gongzi that they are familiar with each other, why don't you wait for them to discuss after they release the list?" ”

She can also inquire about the character of this young lady of the Shen family.

Xu Xuan said with a smile: "Shen Gongzi is probably afraid to wait until Wei Gongzi has the title of the gold list before discussing it, and he is suspicious of the poor and loves the rich, so he simply raised it before the spring." ”

Yu Tang said with a smile: "If Miss Shen is a good housekeeper, it is really a good family." ”

After all, Shen Fang is a brother, and his sister's marriage has to be told to the second elder in the family. Since he had this heart, he must have sent the letter back a long time ago, so he had a plan in mind within two days of arriving in the capital eight or nine times out of ten.

Yu Tang nodded again and again, and after sending Xu Xuan away, he immediately wrote a letter to Mrs. Wei.

Mrs. Wei is also a very shrewd and capable person, and she is her own daughter-in-law, so she will definitely be able to inquire about the situation of Shen Gongzi's sister.

It's just that what she didn't expect was that she had just sent Xu Xuan away, and the second miss of the Pei family sent someone to send a greeting post.

Yu Tang was very surprised, took the greeting post to see Mrs. Pei, and said: "I really didn't expect that she would really come to see Brother Qian as soon as she came to the capital, and said that she brought a civet cat to Brother Qian." ”

Mrs. Pei was also very happy.

Among the granddaughters of the Pei family, she has the most tortuous life, and the old man also hopes that she can be well.

Mrs. Pei couldn't help but say: "You go and ask the second daughter-in-law, if there is a doctor you know, since she came to Beijing to see a doctor, we have to help ask." ”

Yu Tang smiled: "Not only the second sister-in-law, but also the second brother and the third master, are helping to ask!" I also asked Mrs. Yin and Grandma Yang to tell us as soon as there is news. ”

Mrs. Pei bowed her head, discussed with Yu Tang the dishes to entertain Miss Pei Er, and invited the female gentleman who told the story, so she let Yu Tang go to work, and she still went to teach Brother Jiang to arithmetic.

But the old man was a little absent-minded today, so much so that he made mistakes several times.

Brother Jiang is a good and filial child, and reminded Mrs. Pei euphemistically, seeing that Mrs. Pei looked reluctant, she simply offered to rest for a while, and helped Mrs. Pei to go to the warm pavilion next to her to drink tea.

Seeing that he was young but already had an outstanding demeanor, gentle and respectful, Mrs. Pei felt a great pain in her heart, thinking that she couldn't delay the child no matter what, so she put down the teacup and took his hand and asked him in a low voice: "Have you thought about what to do in the future?" ”

Brother Jiang smiled and said, "Did grandmother hear my father say that she wanted to pass on the position of the son to the third brother?" ”

Mrs. Pei was shocked and reprimanded Pei Yan: "I am still a father, and I don't even know how to speak!" ”

Brother Jiang defended his father and said, "My father asked me a long time ago. I hadn't figured out what to do. But my father told me that responsibility and rights are equal. If I want to get it, I will lose it. If I am willing to give up, I will gain something else. I think Daddy has a point. What's more, I think the capital is very good, and I want to stay in the capital for a while. As he spoke, his eyes shining, "Brother Yin Yan is only two or three years older than me, but he has extraordinary knowledge and is already reading the Analects. He also quietly followed his father to the library of the Hanlin Academy, and I also wanted to be like him, reading all the books in the world, walking all over the world, and seeing the bizarre in the world, so that I could live in vain. ”

There are so many things to do, how can you be willing to stay in Lin'an and be willing to do business.

Mrs. Pei was both relieved and happy, hugged Brother Jiang and called "my good girl", and said: "It is good that you have such great ambitions, but studying is also a hard thing, and it is possible to achieve nothing, you have to think clearly." ”

Brother Jiang said with a smile: "Grandmother, don't worry, Daddy said that the path he chose is to kneel, and he will be finished." ”

And he said these deviant words, and taught them to his children.

Old Madam Pei said: "Nonsense." Sometimes your daddy is right, sometimes he's not. I know it's wrong, but I can't go on! ”

Brother Jiang pursed his lips and smiled, not competing with his grandmother.

He can feel the love of his grandmother, and he can also feel the love of his parents and brother.

Therefore, when they have something different from what he thinks, he can always forgive and tolerate.

He changed the topic and said with a smile: "Did the second cousin say when she would come to the house as a guest?" I'm going to draw a picture of a cat and give it to her, and she's sure to like it. ”

Mrs. Pei happily responded and accompanied Brother Jiang to paint, but she thought in her heart, where does the second girl like cats, isn't this that she has no children, is she lonely under her knees, and her temperament is so strong, she doesn't want others to see it, and she raises cats as children?

Two days later, Miss Pei Er came as scheduled.

The cat she brought to Brother Qian had spots like copper coins, which was not the same as the tiger skin that the second wife brought back to coax Brother Qian and Brother Sen, but the two cats were both very strong, and when they met, they fought first, and it was Miss Pei Er's one who won.

The second wife was worried: "This king can't see the king, do you have to give one of the cats to someone else?" ”

The second lady was much colder than before, and said with a smile: "That's not it, this fight will be good in a few days." As long as you watch, don't let them run to the third uncle. The third uncle is fiercer than a tiger. ”

The crowd laughed.

The copper coin cat was also kept.

Everybody loved it.

Only Pei Yan complained: "Didn't you say that you only hugged it to see?" Why did you stay? ”

Yu Tang had no choice but to say: "Doesn't the second aunt live on the Yang family's side?" Her mother-in-law doesn't like cats, so we helped her raise them for a few days. ”

Pei Yan sneered and said, "She has the ability to trouble her mother-in-law, what's the matter with us letting us carry her?" ”

Yu Tang hurriedly covered his mouth and said, "Where is the uncle who instigated his niece and mother-in-law to be angry?" Just talk about it in front of me, but don't shout it. ”

Pei Yan has been fighting for righteousness and squandering money outside all these years, and everyone praises him, but this kind of thing is really only said in front of Yu Tang.

He took the opportunity to kiss Yu Tang's palm, changed his clothes, and went to discuss the New Year with Pei Xuan.

Pei Xuan told him that the eldest master of the Peng family wanted to ask their brother to meet.

Pei Yan was merciless and said: "It's almost the New Year, how can he have time to run to the capital!" ”

Pei Xuan looked at his younger brother's unstingy appearance, and said with a headache: "Yan Guo Liuxiang, what you have done, sooner or later someone will know." ”

Pei Yan said: "He made an appointment with you, but he didn't ask me." If you think I should go, I'll go with you, and if you just say hello, I already know. ”

This guy is a father, and he is still so willful!

Pei Xuan was afraid that the two brothers would go together, and he would be beaten up in the house by the Peng family, so he said helplessly: "Okay, you stay at home, I'll go." ”

Pei Yan didn't care, and asked Pei Xuan: "Do you know that Pei Fei is doing salt business with others?" ”
