As soon as the Xue family brothers and sisters left, Xie Qian came out from behind the screen.

He looked at Jin Nian and said apologetically: "Xue Xiucai is a bit roundabout, you don't have to take what he said to heart." ”

Originally, Xie Qian thought that as long as he respected Xue Xiucai well, Xue Xiucai would not be too embarrassed by them, but who expected Xue Xiucai to put on their faces on the spot, saying that men and women would not kiss or not, he didn't care if he was a man, he was afraid that Jin Nian would be embarrassed if he had a thin face.

Jin Nian shook her head and said in her heart: Compared with the various unpleasant words she suffered after she was ruined in her previous life, what Xue Xiucai said was like tickling, and it was insignificant.

However, she was curious, what kind of people taught someone as stubborn as Xue Xiucai?

Seeing that Jin Nian didn't care, Qian Qian breathed a sigh of relief: "Xue Mansion was originally a big family in Huai'an Mansion, and it was also an official eunuch's family, but Xue Xiucai's parents went early, and when Xue Mansion was passed into Xue Xiucai's hands, he was still very young, and his people were not prosperous, so he gradually declined since then." ”

Therefore, Xue Mansion is headed by Xue Xiucai, so he consciously plays the role of an elder, abides by etiquette, and wants to establish a good family style?

Originally, she was a little dissatisfied with Xue Xiucai's departure halfway, but now she admires Xue Xiucai a little.

After two days like this, Xue Birong really came to talk to the prefect to talk to Jinnian.

When she heard the cuckoo come in to spread the word, Jin Nian was very surprised, she thought that Xue Birong was just saying polite words, but she didn't think that she would really come.

Although she didn't want to have too much contact with Aunt Rong's acquaintances, she was already outside the house, and she was Xue Xiucai's sister, and Jin Nian still saved him, so she still asked Du Juan to invite people in.

Xue Birong was wearing a Hunan crimson curved skirt, and the skirt was folded to outline her figure slenderly, with a kind of softness that was too weak to be dressed.

Seeing Jin Nian, she smiled softly: "I took the liberty to visit, didn't I disturb Miss Six to do business, right?" ”

Very polite opening remarks.

"How so!" Jin Nian shook her head, smiled and invited her to sit down, and asked the cuckoo to serve tea.

Jin Nian is not good at making family routines with others, not to mention Xue Birong, who only has a two-sided relationship! Therefore, after the cuckoo served the refreshment, she had to keep inviting Xue Birong to drink tea and eat snacks.

Xue Birong didn't seem to be a talker, Jin Nian invited her to tea, she smiled, and gracefully picked up a piece of pastry and took a small bite before putting it down.

In the end, Jin Nian hollowed out his mind and didn't come up with any common topics that the two could talk about, and the scene became a little embarrassing for a while.

Xue Birong also seemed to realize this, and she said embarrassedly: "Last time in the teahouse, my brother was in a hurry and walked away, delaying Miss Six, I apologize to you on his behalf." ”

Speaking of the portrait painting, Jin Nian secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and the silence between the two finally broke: "...... Naturally, Mr. Xue's business is important, and I can ask for that portrait whenever I want. ”

Actually, Jin Nian wanted to ask Xue Xiucai if he had painted the portrait well?

Blinking, she smiled and said tentatively: "But I think Mr. Xue is extremely talented in painting, but I'm afraid that the portrait has already been painted, right?" ”

Xue Birong shook his head and said with some grievances: "...... In the past few days, there have been people in the official school to inspect the school, and the master of the teaching has also come, and the elder brother is the gentleman of the school, so he has to live in the school to deal with it. ”

From this point of view, I'm afraid that the painting she wants is not yet there!

Jin Nian was a little disappointed in his heart, but seeing that Xue Birong had a sad look on his face, he comforted by the way: "Brother Ling is busy with his career, I envy you for having a responsible brother." ”

"Really?" Xue Birong smiled reluctantly, and said insincerely: "If you want to say envy, I really envy that Miss Sixth has a good cousin." ”

Jin Nian was surprised, okay, how did you get to your cousin?

Xue Birong smiled, covered her mouth and explained, "Gongzi Xie...... He escorts Miss Six back to the same prefect every day, isn't it good? ”

Jin Nian Hao Ran, I didn't expect Xue Birong to make fun of her.

The two talked again, and Xue Birong got up to say goodbye.

Jin Nian didn't keep her either, and asked Du Juan to send her out of the hospital.

After a while, the cuckoo returned.

She pursed her lips and said with some dissatisfaction: "Miss Xue went to Aunt Rong's." ”

What's so angry about this! Jin Nian thought it was funny, Xue Birong was already very close to Aunt Rong, if Xue Birong stopped paying attention to Aunt Rong because of her arrival, then Jin Nian would have to underestimate her.

Seeing that Jin Nian didn't care, Du Juan muttered in his heart that his young lady's heart was too wide, and silently removed the leftover pastries from the table.

Backyard, Aunt Rong's place.

Aunt Rong saw that Xue Birong couldn't hide her sadness, and sighed: "Why, your brother still forced you to marry his classmate?" ”

This Xue Xiucai is a stubborn person, this Xue Birong, I don't think I can escape this family affair!

Sure enough, when Xue Birong heard this, his face was full of bitterness: "My brother said that when the New Year begins, it will be settled." ”

It's October now, and it's only been two or three months since I left the year! If the other party is a meritorious person, she will admit it, but who knows that the person has not even been admitted to the fame of a showman.

Thinking of really marrying him, Xue Birong only felt that the future was uncertain.

She looked at Aunt Rong a little anxiously and said, "Sister Rong, you say, what should I do?" ”

Aunt Rong sighed, now her own affairs are still in a mess, her son dislikes her, and her biological daughter is recorded in her mother's name, and she is not close to her, how can she still have the heart to care about other people's affairs?

She just wanted to open her mouth to refuse, but the maid who poured the tea smiled and said: "Miss Xue might as well go and beg Miss Six, Mr. Xue and Gongzi Xie are close, let Gongzi Xie persuade him, maybe Mr. Xue will change his mind!" ”

Aunt Rong's eyes flashed slightly, she thought of the rumors she had heard recently, Su Jinnian was going to be ordered to Xie Qian......

Thinking that as soon as Su Jinnian came to Huai'an, her son would be sent back to Yangzhou, Aunt Rong's eyes became a little colder.

Is the eldest brother good with Mr. Xie? Xue Birong was a little puzzled, but thinking that Xie Qian was also a well-known talent in Huai'an Mansion, his eldest brother should listen to some of them, right?

Do you want to go to Jin Nian now and ask her to ask Xie Qian for help?

Thinking of this, Xue Birong suddenly became a little eager to try.

Aunt Rong is the best at observing words and feelings, and seeing that Xue Birong's face was a little anxious, she persuaded: "Birong, don't think about relying on other people's help for everything, why don't you use your own brains and think of a way?" ”

Xue Birong smiled bitterly, the eldest brother is the father, can her family affairs be decided by herself?

Aunt Rong continued: "Birong, with your appearance and character, you should be the wife of an official family, do you want to marry an unknown person?" ”

Sister Rong actually said what she wanted? Xue Birong suddenly felt a sense of shame that someone had spied on her heart!

She lowered her head and said with a sneer: "Sister Rong, don't make fun of me, I'm a young lady who has fallen into decline, how can I get such a blessing from Sister Rong!" ”

Aunt Rong's face stiffened, is Xue Birong sarcastically mocking her as a concubine? Or are you really envious of her?

But soon, Aunt Rong's face regained its softness, and she smiled: "If you don't try, how do you know that you don't have this blessing?" ”

As she spoke, she leaned into Xue Birong's ear and whispered.

"It's... This..."Xue Birong looked at Aunt Rong in shock, her eyes showing fear, "If my brother knows, he will kill me!" ”

Aunt Rong raised her eyebrows, hooked her lips and smiled: "That's all I said, if you want to fight for the future, you weigh it yourself, come to me when you think about it, I will try my best to help you!" ”

Xue Birong left the same prefect's mansion with a heavy heart.
