Three hundred and twenty-one: look at each other

Su Jinyao's family affairs have not moved, seeing that her brothers and sisters have become families and get married, only she has no family affairs, and even Su Yingchen is about to get married.

Not only is she worried, but Kang Jinglan and Qin Manhuai are also anxious here, and people want to see one after another, but they are not satisfied.

The Kang family is a businessman, and such a family recruits either those with bad intentions, just thinking that Kang Jinglan's dowry will not be less, or the nobles of the high-ranking family look down on the merchant family at all, in this case, they want to find a good family for Kang Jinglan, the mother-in-law is not difficult, the husband is upright, it doesn't matter if he is an official or a businessman, but the family background is too thin.

Qin Manhuai devoted himself to this matter as soon as he was better, and together with Kang Jinglan, he almost searched for all these middle-aged people in Xunjing.

After the New Year's festival has completely passed, this matter will be even more lively.

Someone came to the Su family to propose marriage, and the person who proposed the marriage was the Mei family, the captain of the Zhengliupin Zhaowu School.

Zhaowu Lieutenant Mei Yuan is a military officer, because he is a little wooden, plus the court is heavy on literature and light on martial arts, so there is nothing particularly close to the court, the wife died of illness ten years ago, and now this wife is continuing to enter the door, as for this Mei Yuan's son, that is, Mei Yuan's ex-wife's child, called Mei Zhenglin.

"Is the Mei family's child successful?" Kang Jinglan was a little worried, "My mother-in-law is not necessarily good to my daughter-in-law, but now that my wife is a stepmother, she won't make it more difficult for Jin'er, right?" ”

The mother's daughter is most worried about how her daughter's life is in her mother-in-law's house, whether it is smooth or not, if her mother-in-law reprimands her several times and punishes her several times, it is just a stepmother, how can Kang Jinglan not worry?

"I don't know what the character of Captain Mei's wife is, but I know a little bit about Captain Mei." Qin Manhuai said.

Speaking of fate, before Mei Yuan became a lieutenant, he had a friendship with Qin Manhuai's brother-in-law Cheng Yuanhuai, and the two were brothers who practiced martial arts in the same school, and Mei Yuan's current official position was also introduced to him by Cheng Yuanhuai.

Mei Yuan is a good martial artist, but he is not good at communication, at least such a person is not hypocritical, and he will not be flamboyant.

"My mother's brother-in-law knows Captain Mei, I can ask him to ask, as for Mei Zhenglin's child, I still have to understand it thoroughly."

If the man takes care of his wife, knows how to protect his wife, alleviates the helplessness and resentment in her heart, knows that he has a responsibility on his shoulders, and adjusts between his mother and wife, then such a family will not be bad, and the husband and wife will be harmonious and prosperous.

Two days later, Cheng Yuanhuai sent a letter and talked in detail about Mei Yuan's character.

His ex-wife has been gone for many years, and he still misses it from time to time, which shows that he is a more soft-hearted and nostalgic person, and his current wife Chu is his ex-wife's distant cousin, who doesn't like to talk, and can marry into the Mei family all because of his ex-wife's last wish, saying that the Chu family is a good person, and she will take over the care of the Mei family, take care of Mei Yuan and her own son, and the ex-wife is very relieved.

The Chu family is really doing well, taking care of the house in an orderly manner, he has a daughter named Mei Jinghan, who usually treats his cousin's son quite well, no, seeing that Mei Zhenglin is about to get married, he will work hard to find a suitable person for him.

Hearing that the Chu family had no son, only a biological daughter, Kang Jinglan finally put her mind at ease.

If you don't have a son, you don't have to plan for your son, if you have a son who will inevitably fight for the family and property in the future, it will not be good at that time.

"Then Mei Zhenglin is three years older than Jin'er, right? I don't know what the child's character is, but I have to see me to rest assured. ”

Kang Jinglan is right, what the family is not as important as the character of the son-in-law.

Su Yao, Qin Manhuai and Kang Jinglan took Su Jinyao to meet the Mei family, and Mei Yuan and Chu brought Mei Zhenglin to the Su family.

It's rare to wear it so formally, the light green silver striped Baidie wears a fancy long skirt and wears a top, covered with a light green flower-sprinkled smoke shirt outside, Su Jinyao doesn't dare to take a big step, Qiu Yue and Qiu Xia personally dress her up, and they almost use a ruler to measure the distance of each step for her.

There are not many hairpin rings on the head, only a bright moon jasper step on the bun, and the back of the bun is fixed with a begonia flower hairpin, which looks fresh and natural.

Putting on the cloak, Su Jinyao walked into the flower hall in small steps, and the children who have not decided to marry are not allowed to face each other directly, otherwise this family affair will inevitably ruin the reputation of the daughter's family, and someone will say nonsense when discussing relatives in the future" The daughter of that family has seen others, as if other people's families have not taken a fancy to her. ”

In the flower hall, the four-open screen of pine crane and rosewood was blocked there, and Su Jinyao only glanced at it from behind, and she liked Mei Zhenglin on the other side of the screen.

Mei Zhenglin is good, but he is not as warm as jade like Xiao Ling, nor is he as good-looking on his face as Bai Chuheng, and he is not Lu Yuanyi's cold and durable appearance at first glance.

Su Jinyao felt that he must have come to see her today, so he was also dressed up by his family, but this scholarly outfit was really not suitable for him to wear, and it was more suitable for Xiao Ling's figure and appearance.

Mei Zhenglin's eyebrows and eyes are very good-looking, the eyes are big, the bridge of the nose is high, and the eyebrows are particularly thick, like a lively tiger coming out, with a well-defined face, for some reason, the first time I saw Su Jinyao, I actually felt that the man in front of me was a little similar to herself.

Mei Zhenglin couldn't see Su Jinyao over there, and he didn't know that Su Jinyao was behind the screen at the moment, and he was still nervous at first, and he was sitting very unsteadily, because of his martial arts, he didn't have much knowledge, and he couldn't go with a literati like Su Yao, usually the Chu family was talking to the Su family, and he himself was sitting there, eating tea for a while and looking east and west for a while.

"Sister Nine went to see someone?" Su Yunyao was not shocked to learn the news, but she was still slightly surprised.

She wanted to know how Sister Jiu's in-laws were doing, and whether Sister Jiu's future husband would be good to her.

Su Moyao also leaned over and asked, "Mother Zhao, tell me clearly, who is the object of Sister Jiu's relationship?" How is the character? ”

"How does this slave know?" Mother Zhao held a handkerchief and did needlework, "The slave maid just listened to what Su Ningyuan's mother Qiu said, how is the character, sometimes the couple hasn't seen it after most of their lives, how can the slave and maid evaluate it now?" I heard that the son of the family was born in martial arts, and he didn't talk much, so I don't know if he got along with the nine girls. ”

"I want to see it." Su Moyao looked at Su Yunyao and said.

The two sisters reached an agreement on this matter, and Su Yunyao said, "I'll go too!" Let's take a walk outside the flower hall, maybe we'll see you. ”

Su Yao and Qin Manhuai both thought that Mei Zhenglin's child was good, and it was time for Su Jinyao to come out and let the Mei family meet him.

"Jin'er, come out and meet someone." Su Yao said.

When he saw Su Jinyao walking out of the screen, Mei Zhenglin was startled, and then subconsciously lowered his head to look at his clothes, and secretly pulled his collar, occasionally looked up at Su Jinyao, and then quickly lowered his head.

"This is the ninth girl of our family." Qin Manhuai introduced, "She is usually the most worry-free and sensible at home, and she has never quarreled with her sisters, which is also the reason why the first three ladies in the family are well raised." ”

Chu Shi looked at Su Jinyao seriously, and the love on his face couldn't be hidden, "Oh, this good child!" It's so cute! ”

Su Jinyao smiled implicitly, but it was not contrived by her, but nervous from the heart.

From childhood to now, this is the first time she has shown up on this occasion, letting people who may be her future in-laws look at herself, for fear that if she doesn't do it well, the Mei family will not like it, and she is afraid that if she does it too well, the Mei family will think that she is easy to handle, and she will bully herself from now on.

Mei Zhenglin still glanced at Su Jinyao from time to time, his face was not white, but a little tanned, and the color on his face at this time could be seen, there was a touch of red on the light brown black.

Inadvertently raised their heads, Su Jinyao and Mei Zhenglin looked at each other, both of them were stunned for a moment, and then both lowered their heads at the same time.

"Don't talk about these two children, they're quite alike!" Chu continued, "It's just that our family Lin'er practices martial arts every day, and some of them are tanned, and sitting at the table with this white and pure girl makes him even darker!" ”

Qin Manhuai and Kang Jinglan both laughed, and they were also a little satisfied with the Chu family, who was the stepmother.

It stands to reason that the stepmother will not worry too much about her son's family affairs, and she should find a family business for her son that is not very good, but the Chu family fell in love with the Su family, Su Yao is a five-grade official, and in this court that emphasizes literature and light on martial arts, he is much higher than Mei Yuan's official position.

Although Su Jinyao is a concubine, Su Jinyao is liked by the eldest lady Qin Manhuai, and the Kang family also has a rich dowry, and the Chu family found this family affair for Mei Zhenglin, which is good for Mei Zhenglin.

Knowing that Su Jinyao was participating in this kind of occasion for the first time, Chu's first sentence showed whether he liked it or not, let Su Jinyao relax a little, and then made Su Jinyao and the Su family happy by making fun of Mei Zhenglin, which can only show that this person knows how to speak etiquette, and she is very internal.

Mei Yuan hasn't spoken much, I don't know if he is embarrassed or what, or as Cheng Yuanhuai said, he is really a particularly unsociable person.

Su Yunyao and Su Moyao walked to the vicinity of the flower hall one after another, and they all lowered their bodies to eavesdrop outside, but they couldn't hear a word.

In winter, the doors and windows are closed tightly, and it is not normal to hear.

"Let's not stay here, let the Mei family see it for a while and think that our Su family girl has no rules." Su Yunyao realized this, pulled Su Moyao up, and went to the pavilion on the side.
