"Mother, all you have to do is convince your father about this. Although men don't take care of the backyard, this is not just a backyard matter, this is still the trust of the ancestors, presumably the father will not refuse to take care of this. Didn't he refuse Mama Xue's request today? ”

Xue couldn't stop nodding when he heard this.

"It's just that although the candidate should be chosen by Mrs. Xue and Mama Xue, the candidate still has to be used by the matchmaker to let the mother take a look." Speaking of this, Sanniang's face turned pale: "Mother, you are the mistress of this inner courtyard, everything that happens in this backyard, you can treat it as if you don't see it, or you can not take care of it, but you can't let things get out of your control!" ”

Xue Shi's heart was complicated when she heard this, but when she heard this, her heart was warm again, she knew that Sanniang was really good for her, so she said this in front of her stepmother.

"I remember, Sanniang, don't worry." There was a rare firmness in Xue's eyes.

Sanniang nodded, she could only make suggestions, all this still depended on Xue herself. Otherwise, it would be empty if she thought of any more way.

Sanniang chatted with Xue's for a long time on this day, and then accompanied Xue's to have lunch before returning to her West Chamber.

In the evening, after Wang Dong came back from the outer courtyard, the husband and wife had dinner, and Xue mustered up the courage to have a long talk with Wang Dong, and this night, the light in the main room was extinguished very late. It's just that when Xue and Wang Dong talked, they dismissed the maids and mothers-in-law, so no one listened to what the two said

On the second day, when Sanniang went to Xue's room to ask for peace, Xue's face was like a peach blossom, refreshed, and looked a little different from the past. Seeing Sanniang looking over, Xue nodded at her with a smile on his face.

Sanniang smiled, and Xue successfully persuaded Wang Dong.

The most important thing is that Xue Shi has self-confidence in his heart after this incident.

On this day, after Wang Dong was in the morning, he did not go to the outer courtyard first, but went straight back to the inner courtyard, and as soon as he came back, he called Mama Xue to the main room to explain. Later, when Mama Xue came out, the maid who opened the curtain found that her face was gloomy. ~

Wang Dong was half-lying on the couch, and Xue sat at the head of the bed, gently pressing the acupoint on the top of his head

"Later, you will ask someone to invite a matchmaker, this is a clean affair sooner rather than later." Wang Dong said with his eyes closed.

Xue glanced at Wang Dong and saw that his eyes were closed, and couldn't help but smile: "Don't worry, master, the concubine can save herself." ”

Wang Dong nodded, he also heard Xue yesterday to think that it was a little inappropriate for Xue Ruyu, an unmarried girl, to live here so inexplicably, and remembered what Xue Ruyu did in front of him yesterday Wang Dong shook his head secretly.

Fortunately, nothing happened, as an official in Beijing, not as outside, those imperial historians can't wait to stare at various officials for twelve hours a day, and if there is a mistake, they will be impeached. If he caused the reputation of the Wang family to be damaged in this matter, then he would have no shame to meet the ancestors and ancestors.

"You will accompany some dowry when the time comes, so that she can marry more beautifully, and it can be regarded as an explanation to your father and mother." Wang Dong explained again.

The Xue family was a little uncomfortable with the father and mother in Wang Dong's mouth, referring to Xue Hanlin and Mrs. Xue, who made her very strange and afraid, but she quickly responded softly: "The concubine knows, master, please rest assured." ”

Wang Dong nodded pleasantly.

"Isn't your lord tired? You slept late last night and went to court so early today, do you want to rest a little longer? Xue Shi was a little worried.

When Wang Dong heard this, he opened his eyes and looked at the Xue family playfully: "Don't stop, I'm afraid I can't stand it." ”

Xue Shi was stunned, and after understanding the meaning of Wang Dong's words, he was first dumbfounded, and then his face was flushed. In the past, although Wang Dong occasionally asked her during the day, he never teased her verbally during the day and made this kind of boudoir joke. She always thought that Wang Dong was very serious and serious.

Wang Dong saw her reaction, it was very interesting, just looking at it and feeling a little emotional. But thinking that there were still a bunch of things waiting for him to deal with in the outer courtyard, he only had the thought of prostitution during the day, and gently squeezed Xue's hand and got up a little reluctantly.

"Well, I'd better go to the outer courtyard."

Xue Shi also got up to help Wang Dong sort out his clothes, and Wang Dong took the opportunity to say in her ear: "When I come back in the evening, you will still serve like yesterday." ”

Xue Shi "brushed" the ground, the roots of his neck were red, and he refused to raise his head again.

Wang Dong laughed, turned around and walked out the door.

Only then did Xue raise his head, gently walked to the door curtain, gently opened the curtain a gap, and looked at Wang Dong's back in a daze. I don't know how long it took for her to hear the footsteps of a maid outside, so she was so frightened that she lowered the curtain and went back to the inner room to sit. But he couldn't help but smile shyly on his face.

The Xue family did not disappoint Wang Dong, and the matchmaker came over in the afternoon.

The Xue family asked Feng and Mama Xue to come and sit in the hall.

Feng was a little restrained, but also a little cautious. Sometimes he glanced at Mama Xue, and sometimes he looked at Xue.

Mama Xue stared at Xue for a while, Xue was a little dodgy at first, but then secretly pinched herself. After that, it will be much more natural to face Mama Xue's naan. Mama Xue frowned, thoughtful.

"Mrs. Hao, I heard that you are the No. 1 official media in the capital, so I will ask you for my cousin's marriage." Xue said to the chubby mother-in-law who was smiling kindly.

"Madam, please rest assured, you can casually inquire about the reputation of the old woman in the capital. All marriages that have been accepted by the wife and her son are all harmonious and beautiful. ”

Xue Shi smiled and nodded, briefly told Xue Ruyu's situation, and finally promised in front of everyone: "The Xue family will give Ruyu." Cousin Yu's dowry was thirty taels. ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this number, and Feng Shi looked at Xue Shi a little sluggishly.

Xue nodded at Feng: "If Aunt Cousin has any requirements, you can tell Mrs. Hao, you don't have to deal with the dowry, just leave it to me." It's just that I'm a junior and have little experience, so I still have you to choose the candidate for my cousin. Mama Xue can also help Aunt Tang take a pass. ”

Only then did Feng Shi understand that the Xue family really planned to take out three thousand taels to make a dowry for Xue Ruyu.

I was pleasantly surprised to say thanks. was stopped by Xue.

"We are a family, and aunts don't have to be polite. I have already discussed with my lord, and when my cousin gets married in the future, if my cousin wants to live with my niece, then I can live in our house with peace of mind, and my niece will support you for the rest of your life. ”

Feng Shi was grateful again, but Mama Xue looked at Xue Shi with a somewhat complicated look.

When Mrs. Hao heard this, she smiled and said, "No wonder there have been rumors outside recently that Mrs. You are worthy of being a famous family, loyal, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness." When I saw it today, the rumors were indeed true. ”

When the people in the house heard this, they only thought that the matchmaker was talking to people, and they didn't pay much attention to it. After that, Xue just sat and drank tea on the side, and did not interject, only letting Feng talk to Hao Matchmaker. Mrs. Hao mentioned several families, but they were all rejected by the Feng family. Mrs. Hao smiled and promised to go back and visit again according to the woman's request, and find a good family for Xue Ruyu.

Feng Shi was a little disappointed when he saw that there was no suitable person for the time being, but he was satisfied when he heard that there were still some picks

Mrs. Hao said goodbye, and the Xue family sent the Mu Lian beside her to send it.

Mu Lian sent Mrs. Hao to Ermen, and then took out a purse from her sleeve and gave it to Mrs. Hao: "Granny Hao, this is a reward from Mrs. Hao." ”

Mrs. Hao generously accepted: "Please treat the old woman and thank the lady, the old woman will definitely pick Miss Xue well." ”

Mulian said: "Madame said, the Xue family is not a family with lofty ambitions, and I want you to choose the right marriage for Miss Xue depending on the situation." When the candidate is finalized, come to our main room to sit down, and then let the old lady choose. Mulian bit the two words a little harder.

Mrs. Hao was surprised. Although the Xue family used to be a famous family, but this is Miss Xue, she is just a girl in a partial house, if it weren't for the dowry of three thousand taels given by Mrs. Wang, this is really hard to say, and the conditions of the old lady Xue just now are a little higher, and she still has some hair

However, this third lady Wang seemed to be disapproving, and she looked like an understanding person. With Xue's words, Mrs. Hao naturally knew what to do.

"Don't worry, girl, the old woman understands."

Mu Lian nodded: "It's best to do this before the end of the year, and our wife will be rewarded by then." ”

Mrs. Hao went with a happy face.

After solving Xue Ruyu's matter, the Xue family finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In the afternoon, when Wang Dong returned, he brought bad news: the second prince died.

It's just that although he is the emperor's sister-in-law, after all, he is only more than a year old, and he has always been sick, so he has not made too many waves outside the palace, after all, the emperor is only in his early twenties this year.

In the past few days, in addition to this bad news in Beijing, Xue's righteous deeds that day have also been spread to everyone in Beijing.

Xue was taken aback when he heard the news from Agarwood.

"Madame, you are being praised all over the capital now. Those noble ladies also have admiration on their faces when they mention you now. ”

It took Xue a long time to digest the news, and then thinking of Hao's words that day, he finally understood. The matchmaker is more well-informed than others, so it's no wonder that she knows about the rumors about her in the market before their clients.

Sure enough, after that, the Xue family began to receive invitations from the wives of various provinces. Although it is only a few households, it is much better than the embarrassing situation that no one cared about before.

Xue remembered Sanniang's series of strange actions that day, and remembered her sentence: Mother, please believe me. Naturally, I understood that Sanniang did that to pave the way for her at that time, no wonder Sanniang asked her to keep it after Yaoqin and inkstone were bought, and she didn't take it out to play with.

So since then, the Xue family has been more grateful and close to Sanniang. To be continued.
