Chapter 181: VIPs
Jia Min and Lin Ruhai are sad for their eldest son's naughtiness, and another family in Suzhou is also worried about their children's upbringing.
Xu Tongju looked at his wife's crying and weeping eyes, and he really thought that Mrs. Xu was sad because her daughter did not get a good upbringing.
"That's it! You cry like this all day long, what's the use, Qiaofeng of Jinling's Women's College also went to take the exam, she herself was not selected if she was not angry, who can complain? ”
"Master can't say that, those girls who were selected are not everyone's daughters, they have all been raised by someone since childhood, what about our Qiaofeng, and she followed her brother to read two books, and now her brother went to study in the academy, and he couldn't go back home easily, and Qiaofeng's studies were also delayed! Pity my Qiaofeng, she has such a good look, and she was born in our family, and it is so difficult to marry a good family! ”
"Humph! You mean you're blaming me for not being able to do anything! Xu Tongju said with a cold face.
"That's what the concubine body means!" Mrs. Xu said sneeringly.
Xu Tongju still respects this bad wife very much, without her support behind her, Xu Tongju would not be where he is today, maybe he is still farming in the countryside, at most he is enlightening his children in the school of the clan. Therefore, after Xu Tong became an official, he has not taken a concubine, and most of the requirements for Mrs. Xu will be met. Xu Tongju and his wife have a son and a daughter, the son Xu Jie is now studying in Jinling's Fu College, and the daughter Qiaofeng has been very beautiful since she was a child, and she is very loved by Xu Tongju and his wife, especially Mrs. Xu, who has very high expectations for her daughter, and always wants her daughter to fly on the branches, and she can also squeeze into the circle of nobles with her mother's family.
Although Xu Tongju is now an official of the sixth grade, he is from a poor family, he is not well-connected, and he is not the kind of person who is particularly good at flattering officials, so he has always only had a lot of dealings with some petty officials and officials, and among these people, let alone Mrs. Xu, even Xu Tongju did not look at the son-in-law candidate. Xu Tongju's shadow suddenly appeared in his mind, and he sneered self-deprecatingly, how can that kind of high-ranking noble son be worthy of his own family, not to mention that he has such a noble and beautiful wife, and the two are deeply affectionate, it is really whimsical.
Mrs. Xu saw that Xu Tongju had not reacted, and she didn't know where her mind had drifted, so she was a little annoyed, "Master! You are talking, you give me a quasi-word, do you agree to agree with me to go to the Lin family on East Street to ask for someone? ”
Xu Tongju listened to Mrs. Xu's words, and came back to his senses, he glanced at Mrs. Xu and said, "It's not that I don't agree, but it's impossible for you to agree to it!" Then why did he come out of the palace, and Mrs. Lin's upbringing, how could he return to the Lin family and come to our small household? ”
"Mrs. Lin is so old now, she will definitely not need Wan Wan, and if Wan Wan is old, she will not be used much in the Lin Mansion. She has never seen our Qiaofeng, if she does, she is willing to follow Qiaofeng, after all, our daughter is good-looking and has no family, the future is good, maybe she can marry a prince or something! Wouldn't it be more beautiful than in the Lin family. ”
"What are you daydreaming about, return to the prince and prince, you really dare to think about it!" Xu Tongju glared at Mrs. Xu and sneered.
"As long as those ten thousand people are willing to teach Qiaofeng well, it's not impossible that possibility, will there be a ready-made prince in this Jinling City soon? I heard that I haven't been married before! Mrs. Xu glanced at Xu Tongju, thinking of her beautiful daughter, and said proudly.
Xu Tongju's eyes flashed, and he felt that he just let Mrs. Xu go to the Lin family on East Street, if it really could be done, even if he couldn't marry the prince, he had been personally raised by someone from the palace, and such a reputation would spread out, and it would be feasible to find an ordinary high door.
Two days later, Mrs. Xu took her daughter Xu Qiaofeng to visit Jia Min at the Lin family's old house. Jia Min frowned when he heard the return.
"This Mrs. Xu is too ignorant of the rules, if she wants to visit the house, she doesn't say that she will hand over the worship post in advance, so she will find the door so much, if the wife is not there, I am afraid that she will go out and talk nonsense, and ruin the reputation of the old lady, if you see it, what if the wife can't get out of the house?" Qingzhu pouted.
"Isn't it! At what time did I come to the door, and the lord hasn't left yet! This family is too unsophisticated! The green calyx also whispered.
"That's it! Say less! Go and invite the mother and daughter to the side hall of Zhiyuan Hall, and tell her that I am dealing with the affairs of the house, and let them wait first. Pay attention to good tea and fresh snacks and fruits, let a little girl wait for you at any time, don't be rude! ”
Qingzhu got the order, so he reluctantly went out to pick up people.
Lin Ruhai only came back from his inspection of Zhuangzi yesterday, and he got up late today, practiced his exercises, had breakfast, and went out to the government a little late. He went to the study to get some notes he had put together, and hurried to the door. When he was about to reach the gate, he saw Qingzhu leading two women to meet him head-on. Lin Ruhai didn't expect that a female dependent would come to the house at this time, and it was too late to avoid it at this time.
Qingzhu also saw Lin Ruhai, she thought that Lin Ruhai had already gone out, but she didn't want him to be ready to go out at this time. I knew that I would lead the mother and daughter around, but at this time, it was obvious that there was no way to avoid it. Qingzhu stood in place to salute Lin Ruhai, Mrs. Xu's mother and daughter saw Lin Ruhai for the first time, both of them were shocked by the handsome and extraordinary man not far away, and they were stunned for a while, how can they remember the salute!
Lin Ruhai was very bored when he saw the two women staring at him so recklessly, and his face became bad. Qingzhu didn't hear the greeting voices of the two behind him, and knew that the mother and daughter must have been stunned by the appearance of their master, and suddenly the fire came up. She turned around and pushed the two of them to stand aside, making way for Lin Ruhai. Lin Ruhai did not delay, and left quickly with Lin An and Lin Xing.
Xu Qiaofeng couldn't help but quietly raise her eyes when Lin Ruhai passed by them, although it was only for a moment, and she only saw a side face, but she felt that her face was feverish, and her heart was about to jump out of her chest.
Qingzhu saw Xu Qiaofeng's nymphomaniac appearance, and secretly glanced at her with disdain, "Mrs. Xu, Miss Xu, I'm really sorry, our lord didn't expect that there would be a female family member visiting at this hour, so there is something offensive, please forgive me!" ”
