Soon, Jia's mother adapted to it in Guangzhou. If you want to talk about the climate of Guangzhou, it is really suitable for the elderly in winter. The weather is warm, and even people like Jia Mu who don't like to move around take a walk in the garden at home from time to time.

A few days have passed, and the Chinese New Year will soon come, and Jia's mother finally looked forward to the New Year in Guangzhou and enjoyed it. On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, after welcoming the God of Wealth, the Eighth Governor's Mansion was about to resume work, Jia Liang went to the Yamen as soon as he started, and the children at home also consciously ended the New Year and started their own things.

Mother Jia was not bored without the company of the children, and followed Mrs. Xing everywhere, and walked around the whole city of Guangzhou.

Xing Shuang saw that Jia's mother was playing very well here, and she didn't have to accompany herself, so she was happy and leisurely, and she was able to nourish her body.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Tanchun came to Xing Shuang early in the morning and told Xing Shuang that she was going out today.

Xing Shuang asked her, "The horse farm is so busy?" There are lanterns today, don't you go to see them? ”

Tanchun said with a smile: "I look at the lanterns every year, what is there to see." Xiao Bai said that he had contacted several large households, and that he was in need of a batch of good horses, and that I had all the good horses there and that I was going to buy some more. ”

Xing Shuang had to instruct: "Be careful, there are many people today, don't rush." ”

Tanchun Dao knew, so he went out.

As soon as Tanchun left, Xing Shuang was talking to Sister Yinglianfeng, when she heard someone outside report that it was the prefect's wife who asked to see her.

This prefect's wife is not the original one, this is the wife of the new prefect Lin Xian, also surnamed Lin. It's just that this person who usually knows that Xing Shuang doesn't like to be disturbed and rarely comes to the door, why did he suddenly come at this time today?

Xing Shuang hurriedly asked people to come in, and Mrs. Lin smiled when she entered the door, first greeted Sister Feng Yinglian, and then came to salute Xing Shuang.

Xing Shuang gave up her seat and asked her to serve tea, and then asked her, "Why are you here today?" ”

Mrs. Lin hurriedly smiled: "I made some Lantern Festival with my daughter today, all of them are very ingenious, thinking that your old lady is here, maybe she has not eaten the Lantern Festival we made there, so I will send some, please the old lady and the grandmother to eat something fresh." ”

Xing Shuang hurriedly said, "You're polite." ”

I saw that Mrs. Lin followed the people and sent the Lantern Festival up, and sure enough, each one was different. Xing Shuang counted carefully, there were seven different colors alone, and there were also different sizes.

Mrs. Lin is a native of Suzhou, and the Lantern Festival in the south of the Yangtze River is filled with meat. Xing Shuang has eaten it, but she doesn't like it, she is a resolute sweet party for things like glutinous rice balls. However, Sister Feng and Yinglian were interested, and they looked at it.

"You two like it?" Xing Shuang smiled and said to the two daughters-in-law: "Mrs. Lin's kindness, don't let it down, go and ask someone to cook it, send it to each room, everyone will taste it." ”

Wang Xifeng hurriedly got up and said yes, and personally took the maids down, but Zhen Yinglian stayed and sat down with tea.

After a while, Mrs. Lin sat down for a while, and the topic gradually changed: "It's not that I'm flattering, everyone knows that in our Guangzhou city, the most thoughtful grandmothers and girls are all concentrated in the governor's house." Why are there two grandmothers today, but they don't see the coquettish guests in the house. ”

Xing Shuang raised her eyebrows and laughed. Zhen Yinglian held the tea bowl in her hand, paused, and then laughed with her wife.

"Mrs. Lin, is this here to see my sister-in-law?" Zhen Yinglian put down the tea bowl and said to Mrs. Lin with a smile: "It's also unfortunate, she went out today, otherwise I will send someone to call her back?" ”

Mrs. Lin hurriedly said, "No, no. Then he said: "I just heard that the second girl in your mansion is very pretty, and she is also smart, I have come back a few times, but I have never seen it, and I always want to see what kind of fairy the girl in this person's mouth is." ”

Xing Shuang had already guessed what she meant, but she only smiled and said nothing. Mrs. Nalin couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive when she saw that the governor's wife did not speak, and that the governor's daughter-in-law only spoke and did not answer.

"I went to Xiao's house a few days ago, and Mrs. Xiao was really full of praise for the second girl in the house. After a few words, he didn't say anything else, only talked about the good ...... of the second girl in the house."

Mrs. Lin glanced at Xing Shuang, and saw that she was just smiling, but she didn't look like she was opposed, so she said boldly: "Speaking of this Xiao family, I heard that the eldest son of her family is also very good. is a talented person, and his temperament is also extremely gentle. If you want to say that this talent is not left behind.

And I heard that he has not yet married a wife, and he does not even have a concubine. It is really rare for such a pure-hearted person to have a good birth and a good temperament. ”

Xing Shuang looked at her silently, with "I'll just watch you perform" written on her face.

Mrs. Lin was really embarrassed, and finally gritted her teeth and said directly: "Mrs. Xiao wants to beg me to be a matchmaker, for her eldest son, and the second girl of your mansion...... You see......"

Xing Shuang was happy, and Zhen Yinglian also lowered her head and laughed.

"Mrs. Lin, although my lord is the governor, he can be regarded as a colleague with your lord. Let's get straight to the point, what do you think? Xing Shuang finally spoke, but she listened to it with a little refusal.

Mrs. Lin beat the drum in her heart, and said in her heart that she had received so many matchmaker benefits from others, and if she couldn't talk about it, she would be too sorry for the high hopes of others.

Coupled with this eldest son Xiao, he and the second girl of the Jia family are really a match made in heaven. People often see them going in and out together, why is the Jia family not worried about the girl's reputation. Why not take this opportunity to make the two happy, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?

"I'm a person, the rules are different from ordinary people, you should know where my eldest daughter is married. None of the world's common sense works with me. I only want to ask you, does his Xiao family want to marry my daughter, or does Xiao Bai want to marry my daughter? ”

As soon as Xing Shuang's words came out, Mrs. Lin suddenly had a thrill and immediately understood.

"Of course it was Xiao Gongzi who asked to marry!" Mrs. Lin smiled and said, "If the eldest prince Xiao didn't mention it to his mother, Mrs. Xiao wouldn't know that he had such a lofty idea. You must know that our Guangzhou City, and even the capital, are full of praise for the second girl in the house.

"No matter how capable her Xiao family is, she doesn't dare to easily beat the idea of the second girl in your mansion, right? But that Xiao Gongzi seemed to fall in love with the second girl in the house at first sight, so he begged his mother.

"This mother, even if she doesn't dare to climb high, she has to beg for her son, right? So that's when they found me, and I came to be the matchmaker.

"I didn't want to, this Xiao family talks about the status of the family, where is the girl in the house? But think about it again, no matter how old and temperamental this Xiao is, he is very suitable for the second girl in the house. Although the marriage is low, the Xiao family is so bad that they will not let the second girl marry and be wronged. ”
