Most of the people who went together this time were Xing Shuang's best friends in the past. There are Zhen Shiyin's wife Feng's, Baoling's wife Ma's, and Hubu Shangshu's wife Tie's.

In addition, there are several official wives, who were brought by the Tie family and the Ma family. Xing Shuang was not impressed, so she just smiled and nodded, because she was of the same grade as the Ma family, they were all first-class orders, and the rest of the people were not of high rank, so they didn't dare to say much.

Baochai carefully followed her cousin all the way, until the two separated on the lifting frame, and the sedan chair man carried the two up the mountain one after another, and arrived at a flat mountainside.

Xing Shuang saw that these people were surrounding him, with a flattering face, and he was prepared in his heart. Sure enough, after a few words, one of them asked, "This girl looks at her eyes." ”

Xing Shuang smiled: "This is my younger brother and sister's niece and daughter, and it has only been more than a year since I came to the capital. Because of her gentle temperament and beautiful appearance, the old lady cherished her and called her to stay in the house for a few days. The few in my family followed their grandmother to Jinling, and she was the only one at home, afraid that she would be bored, so they took her with them. ”

Although Xing Shuang did not say who his surname was, these official wives also reacted immediately.

It's also one of the four major families, and the family of the amulet, this "good year and heavy snow", although it has no status, but who doesn't know it?

Among the imperial merchants, there is only one family with a status and a big family. And the Xue family has dabbled in all aspects, and shops are opened everywhere, not only all kinds of finished products are bought and sold, but also the pawnshop Yinzhuang of the dart bureau, which can also be called famous.

Hearing that it was this girl, several official wives were curious, and surrounded Xue Baochai to ask for warmth, one asked "What do you like to do on weekdays" and the other asked "Who else is there at home", and after a while, Xue Baochai threw away his armor and looked directly at Xing Shuang for help.

Xing Shuang smiled and said, "The girl's family is ashamed, why are you embarrassed to call her so around?" The child was usually quiet, and even among the sisters, he rarely spoke. If you have any questions, just come to me, but don't bother her. ”

Baochai smiled shyly and retreated behind Xing Shuang, which made several official wives like it very much. It is good that the girl's family is generous, but when there are elders, it is more desirable to remain modest and cautious.

Baochai grasped the opportunity very well, and people also know how to advance and retreat. Xing Shuang looked at her twice in her heart, and said in her heart that this kid is really powerful.

After climbing down the mountain, there are really a few wives who are interested in Baochai. But everyone didn't say anything, after all, this is the first time they have met, and they still need to observe more.

Xue Baochai didn't know this, and was a little anxious when he returned home, saying that he had obviously performed well today, why did these wives not mention it at all in the end.

After a few more days, there was still no news, and Xue Baochai became even more anxious, and took the opportunity to ask Xing Shuang for peace.

Xing Shuang couldn't help but giggle when she heard her words. Xue Baochai also knew that it was really unruly for a girl to ask about her marriage. But her mother didn't care about her, and her brother was a mud who couldn't support the wall, so if she didn't think about herself, she could really only be an ordinary person for the rest of her life.

At this time, Xing Shuang smiled, she was ashamed and annoyed, and said with a red face: "What does my cousin mean?" ”

Xing Shuang saw that she was annoyed, so she didn't laugh at her anymore, pointed to the chair next to her and asked her to sit down, and took a sip of tea unhurriedly, and then said: "What are you anxious about, it's as simple as buying a chicken outside when you are a man and a woman?"

"These official wives, don't look at their status and wealth, but do you really want to marry regardless of the opportunity? Besides, if we want to pick here, don't people have to choose? I'm taking you to the mountain, not to see each other, but to take you into this circle, and when someone will mention you, this is the beginning.

"You weren't in the capital in the past, you don't know any of the official ladies in the capital, and you don't like your sisters, you have a lot of old friends when you were young. If no one talks about you, who knows there is another you in this world?

"This is just the beginning, if you are in a hurry, it will be self-defeating, and it will seem that you hate to marry, right? You can't become a fat man by eating in one bite, and you have to figure out everything slowly.

"Don't you want to think about it, why you failed to be selected as a princess the year before last? Is it really because of your low status? If that's the case, these official wives won't be able to ask questions around you today. Your ancestor is a Ziwei Sheren, and you have the favor of the emperor to guard the status of this imperial businessman. If it's just because of your low status, you won't even be on the waiting list.

"All you lack is one word, potential!"

When Xue Baochai heard this, it was like an empowerment, and he suddenly realized. She stood up and blessed Xing Shuang, and said with admiration: "Thank you aunt for mentioning it." ”

At this time, even a table word was saved, which shows that Xue Baochai is really convinced.

Xing Shuang smiled slightly: "Now that you haven't even built up momentum, you want to soar into the sky, that's impossible." If I want to pull you along, I naturally have to create momentum for you first, and when every household in the capital knows your Xue Baochai's name, it will not be difficult to choose a son-in-law in the future.

"It's just that I have one thing to remind you of, don't be hypocritical. It's easy to pretend, but it's hard to pretend for a lifetime. It's best to show what you are. Even if one person doesn't like it, there will be others who like it.

"Your merit is not that you are humble and courteous, but that you are in the house of an imperial merchant and are proficient in management and calculation. If you pretend to be naïve, you will fall into the cliché. ”

Xue Baochai asked puzzled: "But this girl's family, if she knows how to calculate too much, she is afraid that she will ......."

Xing Shuang sneered and said, "What are you afraid of?" Afraid that people will think that you have a city government that is difficult to deal with? You figured it out first, this decision is not to marry, but it is your future mother-in-law. If you don't understand anything, you only know the wind and snow every day, and it's a bad thing to marry back.

"If I think about it, I will have to teach my daughter-in-law to be a housekeeper in the future, and I will have to teach everything from scratch, I am afraid that my head will be big. Otherwise, how could I have set up your cousin for your second cousin? It is precisely because she is smart and clever that she is decisive in everything and knows how to do it.

"Whether this will be the family or not is the decisive factor for the grandmother in the future. If you just want to marry a concubine, or a second son, and just be an official wife, I won't mention any of you, just let you continue.

"But I know that you are not here, you must do something. Therefore, your attitude will definitely change in the future, and you will be shrewd and calculating. Like the girls of other families, where is the potential to be created? ”
