Chapter 685: A Great Coincidence
Xue Baoqin and Lin Daiyu and Tanchun naturally met, and Xue Baoqin and Lin Daiyu had a very good relationship in the book, and now it is the same, they are familiar at first sight.
Hearing Xing Shuang's question, Xue Baoqin said with a smile: "Sister Lin is going to be married, and the second sister often goes to the eldest sister, and I am embarrassed to disturb Sister Lin when I come in, so I simply stay in the house to help my mother do some small things." ”
Xing Shuang was extremely happy when she saw that she was sensible, and said to the Zhang family with a smile: "Your daughter is really well-behaved, and her talent and appearance are first-class, I'm afraid that this marriage has already been decided, right?" ”
Sure enough, I heard Zhang's words: "The old lady set a family before she died, and she is the grandson of Mei University of Hanlin Academy." ”
When Xing Shuang heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Which Mei scholar?" ”
Zhang said with a smile: "There are a few more Mei scholars, and they are Mei Zhihan's family of Mei Zhihan, a scholar of the Inner Academy of History." ”
Xing Shuang was stunned for a long time, and suddenly burst out laughing.
Zhang looked at her in confusion, watched her laugh for a long time, and burst into tears.
"You said there was such a clever thing in this world!" Xing Shuang laughed enough, and quickly explained: "Do you know which family my niece is marrying?" ”
Zhang shook his head, and then heard Xing Shuang say again: "She is married to the third son of the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and the wife of the governor of Li is the daughter of Mei University, I heard that she is the eldest daughter in the family, and I want your daughter to marry, is it her nephew?" ”
Zhang listened to it and looked at his daughter, Xue Baoqin's face was flushed and he lowered his head, and he didn't dare to raise his head again.
Xing Shuang laughed not because there was such a coincidence, but because he was too confused.
There are two people surnamed Mei in this Hanlin Academy, one is just a Hanlin and the other is a university scholar.
Jia Liang didn't pay attention to the Hanlin Academy, so he didn't inquire much, and Xing Shuang only got to know each other a little in the chat, so she didn't know that these two people were actually father and son, and she thought they were just the same surname.
If she had known that these two people were father and son, then when Mei came, she would have known that Mei and Xue Baoqin were in-laws.
At this time, she learned that the grandson of Mei University, who was Mei Hanlin's son, had made a big fuss about herself, and she only felt that she was too stupid.
"And this thing, then aren't we kissing each other?" Zhang smiled and said, "I really didn't expect that I helped you see the gift list, and it turned out to be her family." ”
Xing Shuang hurriedly said: "Since it is such a coincidence, you can meet each other, the ceremony of Dading is on the third day of the third month of March, and you will have to talk for a while." ”
Xue Baoqin's head was getting lower and lower, and his face was red to the base of his neck. Xing Shuang saw that she was ashamed, and said with a smile: "You go to your sister Lin, I'll talk to your mother." ”
Baoqin hurriedly stood up and retired. When he went out of the door and went to the verandah, he still felt that his face was very hot.
When she arrived at Lin Daiyu, Baoqin was still thinking about this in her heart, Daiyu saw that she was absent-minded, and asked a few questions, only to learn that she and Baoqin had become relatives.
"That's great." Daiyu clasped his palms together and smiled: "If we have the opportunity to enter Beijing in the future, we will definitely be able to meet again." ”
Seeing that she was not shy at all, Baoqin's heart gradually calmed down, and she said with a red face: "In the future, please ask Sister Lin to take care of her." ”
Daiyu couldn't help laughing, and teased her: "Now you can still call me sister, you can call me a few more times, I'm afraid you will have to change your name to something else in the future." ”
Baoqin's face was red and almost dripping blood, and she hurriedly got up and chased after Daiyu to hammer her.
The two laughed for a while, and Baoqin asked Daiyu: "I heard that you and the son of the Li family still have a life-saving grace?" Good sister, tell me about it. ”
Daiyu told Baoqin about the situation that day, and Baoqin looked envious after hearing it, and sighed: "What a good story, it is not a hero who saves beauty, but a beauty who saves a hero." ”
Daiyu said with a smile: "Don't envy me, I heard that the Mei family has been scholarly for generations, and they are all extremely polite people, and when you go to the Mei family, you will definitely raise your eyebrows and respect each other." ”
Baoqin couldn't help but think about it, but she didn't dare to think about it, but she also quietly had a trace of expectation in her heart.
In the blink of an eye, in March, the Li family sent a letter over, saying that it had already departed and would arrive around the second day of the new year. Xing Shuang was busy ordering people to go to the backyard of the inn, preparing for the Li family's people to move in.
On the second day of the new year, the Li family arrived on time, but they arrived a little late, and they only docked in the afternoon.
Jia Lian took his younger brother to the dock to pick up people, first sent the Li family to the inn for a short rest, and then immediately took the Mei family back home.
Mei was very enthusiastic when he saw Xing Shuang, but he didn't see the competition between letters these days. Xing Shuang knew that she was a smart person, and she didn't expose it, so she introduced the Zhang family to her with a smile.
Hearing that Zhang's daughter was going to marry her nephew, Mei Haosheng looked at it, and couldn't help but secretly say in her heart, how could this Jia family's relatives have such an outstanding girl.
The Lin family is just that, it is the aunt and grandmother of the Jia family, but the relatives of the Xue family are just in-laws, and they also have such a good daughter, which is really smacking.
Although Xue Baoqin is shy, fortunately, she has been away with her father all the year round, and she has seen the world more than other girls. She obediently let Mei look at her, and also greeted her generously, which made Mei's impression of the Xue Er family a lot better.
I thought it was a businessman's family, but who knew that the upbringing was not much worse than that of a famous lady. That talent and temperament are even better, and his appearance and posture are also among the best.
Mei was extremely satisfied, and when she returned home, she would write a letter to her younger siblings and tell her about the girl of the Xue family.
That night, Mei stayed for dinner, and Jia Lian personally sent him back to the inn. Early the next morning, she came to the door with a congratulatory gift and officially began the ceremony.
Xing Shuang invited all the wives of officials in Guangzhou City over and started a social gathering for the first time. At the banquet, the wives of each family were shocked when they saw Daiyu's appearance. When I saw Tanchun again, they all turned their heads and ears, and there was no one in the family who was bad.
Tanchun helped her mother to come down, a little tired, and when all the official wives were seated, she quietly retreated with the waiter, ready to go back and rest.
When passing through the corridor of the outer study, Lao Yuan saw a few small people falling on the corner door, and before Tanchun approached, those people stood at the base of the wall and asked for peace.
Tanchun nodded and was about to pass, when a person came out of the corner door, and the two almost collided.
Tanchun hurriedly stopped, and when he saw the man, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and suddenly felt sad.
The first time I saw him, it was the same, but that time, the two of them collided, and this time, I stood still.
The person in front of him was Zhang Zhen, one of the two personal soldiers returned to the barracks, and the other lived in the governor's yamen, but it turned out that he had stayed.
Zhang Zhen was also stunned when he saw Tanchun, and when he saw that she had lost a lot of weight, he felt a thorn in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Miss has cleared up." ”
