Wen Yi was stunned, frowned, and asked instead of answering: "She told you this?" There was a hint of sternness in his tone.

Wen Hui bit her lip and lowered her head: "She said it, but ...... I know that Mrs. Han had been to our house two days ago, and she didn't know that Mr. Han had rented the house to us, but she didn't know until she arrived. My mother talked to her for a long time and invited her to dinner at our house. Maybe...... That's what it was said back then......"

Wen Yi's brows furrowed even deeper, if the eldest aunt Jiang had really met with Han Tianshuang's mother, it was indeed possible to mention family affairs when she spoke, but hasn't her attitude been a little loosened recently, and she no longer stares at Han Tianshuang alone? That's why she was so happy to hear that there were many young gentlemen among the guests who came to the banquet, and it was rumored a few days ago that she was in contact with other people. In this case, why would the Jiang family use such conditions to induce the Han family to agree to the family affair? Wen Yi remembered that Liu Dongxing had mentioned that the Han family very much hoped that their son could take a step forward on the road to fame and glory to his ancestors, but Han Tianshuang looked down on fame and fortune. She had already mentioned this to the Jiang family, if the latter used this kind of thing as a bargaining chip, she didn't think that even if the family affair really happened, her daughter might not be respected by her husband?

Wen Yi turned her head to stare at Wen Hui and asked, "Sixth sister, there is something you have to figure out, did the eldest aunt really say such a thing?" If she did, how did others know? ”

Wen Hui's expression was gloomy: "I don't know if my mother said such a thing, but she may ...... Really said...... My mother is willing to do anything for me, and this kind of thing is very common in her opinion, after the eldest brother marries his sister-in-law, doesn't he also ask for the help of the Ge family from time to time? In order to keep his official position, the lord didn't say anything good about it through the Ge family......"

Indeed, this kind of thing is nothing in the officialdom, and the Jiang family may have been used to it for a long time in the capital with Master Gu, maybe it is just a mention of it, and it may not really mean tempting. But the identity of the Liubu squire can be regarded as a high authority in a place like Pingyang, and if the Han family really values their son's fame so much, it is indeed possible to be tempted. But in this case, what would Han Tianshuang think in his heart?

Wen Yi thought for a moment before she raised her head and said to Wen Hui: "Sixth sister, what do you think of this family business?" If you don't take it to heart, it doesn't matter what the eldest aunt says to others. Why do you feel uncomfortable because of a few words from your second brother and sister? ”

Wen Hui was stunned, and the roots of her ears turned red, but soon her face turned white, and she staggered to get up: "I...... I'm a little dizzy, maybe I'm drunk, go out and blow the wind......" After saying that, he turned around and left, Wen Yi got up in surprise and took two steps, saw her rushing straight out of the attic, thought about it, and called Hexiang and ordered her to follow Wen Hui closely before returning to the seat.

After a while, Orange Cloud and Runxin came back, Wen Yi asked Orange Cloud to find Wen Hui, but called Runxin to the tea room next to her, and asked in a low voice, "What did the second grandmother and the sixth lady say?" Aren't you following Miss Six? How do you give them a chance to quarrel? ”

Runxin hurriedly said: "The slave maid was not in front of her at the time, because Orange Cloud wanted to wait for the sixth lady to change her clothes, the sixth lady saw that the plum blossoms outside were blooming well, and wanted to fold a branch and go back to insert a bottle to enjoy the play, the slave maid went, and when she came back, she saw the second grandmother coming from a distance, and pulled the sixth lady to talk, and her face was very bad. Miss Six didn't pay attention to the second *** at first, but when she saw that the second grandmother's face was ugly, she refuted a few words, smiled and wanted to leave, and the second grandmother was annoyed, so she scolded Miss Six loudly. The slave and maid hurriedly ran back, the second grandmother had finished scolding, and entered the house by herself, caught a glimpse of the slave and maid, and ordered the slave and maid to go in and wait for her. The slave didn't want to disobey the order, so she had to watch Miss Six come back alone with a pale face. Orange Cloud was busy packing up the clothes that Miss Six had changed, so she fell behind with the slave maid. ”

Wen Yi frowned: "Where is the second grandmother now?" ”

"When she washed her face, she found fault with the slave and maid who didn't know how to wait, and asked the slave and maid to call her maid over, and sent the slave and maid back."

Wen Yi sneered: "Since she dislikes other people's girls and doesn't know how to wait for people, then don't call them."

When she returned to the table, Wen Xian had already sat back in her place, and seemed to be in a much better mood, with a hint of a smile on her lips, listening to the words of several ladies, and occasionally interjecting slowly. Seeing that Wen Yi was back, she also smiled and asked, "Where is my sister?" Today, your family is the east, how can you, the master, not be there? actually left so many guests to hide and idle, should be beaten, should be beaten" caused everyone to laugh.

Wen Yi was annoyed in her heart, and said with a smile: "I just ordered my subordinates to arrange the things at the big banquet in front of me, I'm really embarrassed to neglect my younger siblings." "Secretly but slandering: Who is the one who should be beaten? Do you know that today is our family? You first made trouble and scolded people at our family's banquet, and then disliked our girl's bad feelings, whose face are you slapping in the face? Who's a sister to you again?

Wen Yi had a cold attitude, did not continue the topic, but turned her head to talk to others, and the warmth and kindness were impeccable. Wen Xian was hit with a soft nail, and couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and her heart became more and more annoyed, only to feel that this ninth cousin had become more and more uncourteous since she beat her husband and became an official, so she also straightened her face. Someone talked to her again, and before she could turn around, she ignored her, and that person only felt that she was moody and inexplicable, so she interjected so enthusiastically, and now she turned around and ignored people. Several of the guests were all daughters of scholarly families, and they were arrogant, so they naturally ignored her when they saw this.

Wen Xian sat alone for a while, seeing that Wen Yi had not said good things to herself, and others did not talk to her, she couldn't help but sulk, she only felt that today's banquet was boring, the guests who came were all laymen, and they would only say something about their parents' shortcomings, or they would show off their talents, she talked to them so politely, but no one knew how to be polite, and it was better not to come

The banquet gradually came to an end, and Wen Yi was already busy sending off guests. Because most of the guests came together, mothers and sons, husbands and daughters, and the male guests at the big table in front of her always said that they were leaving, and the word came in, so that she could arrange for the female relatives of the family to leave in a carriage. Occasionally, there were male guests who were so drunk that they were reluctant to leave, but his wife was in a hurry to go home and wanted to send a message to the front to "order" her husband to leave. Wen Yi was busy sending people to pass the word, call a car, and see her off, and she was worried about what Wen Hui said, and wanted to ask the Jiang family after the banquet, for fear that she would leave early, and the two families did not live together now, so it was inconvenient to ask, so she had to ask the girl to pass the message to the Jiang family and ask her to stay for a while.

Finally, most of the guests left, and only his relatives were left in the attic, so Wen Yi could sit down and take a breath. Seeing this, Mrs. Lu smiled and said: "The first time I was at a banquet outside, and there were so many guests, it is difficult for you to arrange it properly at a young age, although there is a little chaos in the middle, but it is not bad, let's rest in the next two days."

Jiang Shi also said: "It's really not easy, when I was so young as Nine Girls, where did I experience such a big thing?" At that time, I just learned the rules from the old lady, and I remember the first time I helped the steward, I was given the errand of taking care of the dishes, cups and saucers, because the people below broke two cups, and I was reprimanded by the old lady."

Wen Yi smiled: "This is also no way, I don't have a mother-in-law director above me, although I am young and ignorant, I can only bite the bullet." Thanks to my grandmother, I have taught me a lot before, but it is the first time, and there are still many shortcomings today, so I just hope that I will not do it again next time. ”

Old Madam Lu smiled and nodded: "It's good that you can think so." You don't have to be in a hurry to do things, and you can learn slowly if you can't. Wen Yi hurriedly got up and responded respectfully.

Jiang Shi turned his head to look around: "Why don't you see Hui'er?" There are also five girls, and they just said that their family stayed to talk for a while, why did they disappear in the blink of an eye? ”

Old Madam Lu said lightly: "Maybe she is in a hurry to go home, right?" Wen Yi pursed her lips, put away her smile, turned to Jiang's Zhengse and asked, "Auntie, I heard that you have seen the wife of the Han family recently?" But mentioned the marriage of the sixth sister? ”

Jiang Shi was surprised: "Hey? How do you know? I have seen it, but marriage is also mentioned in passing. The first time I met someone, how could I be so reckless? It's going to take a few more trips before I can mention this. ”

Old Madam Lu looked at her granddaughter: "Why did you suddenly mention this?" But who said anything? ”

Wen Yi said: "The second brother and sister just had a quarrel with the sixth sister in the room where they changed clothes, I don't know where I heard about it, so I told the sixth sister that the eldest aunt used Han Gongzi's future as a bargaining chip and asked the Han family to agree to the marriage."

Jiang Shi was taken aback and stood up suddenly: "What? How dare she say such a thing? At that time, he was anxious: "This is terrible, Hui'er must blame me...... Five girls, how can I ever treat her badly when I kill a thousand knives? How dare she choreograph me like that? ”

Wen Yi noticed that she was using the word "arrangement", and hurriedly asked: "So, isn't the words of the second brother and sister true?" ”

Jiang Shi hesitated a little and stomped his feet: "That's it, although I have some selfish intentions, I am not ignorant of the seriousness, I will tell you the truth."

It turned out that Jiang had a very happy conversation with Mrs. Han that day, Mrs. Han complained a little because she didn't know that her son rented the house to the Gu family, Jiang was a caring person, so she followed her tone and talked about the children's scriptures, and found out from Mrs. Han that Han Tianshuang's family was in the middle of the road, and his parents hoped that he could be admitted to the Jinshi in one fell swoop, get ahead, and revitalize the family business, but Han Tianshuang thought that his family business was not good to take care of, and it was unrealistic to blindly expect himself to be an official, and he already had a reputation. Even if he became a jinshi, he didn't plan to leave his hometown to become an official, and he felt that there were too many bad things in the officialdom, and it was far better to study at home. After a year of stalemate, he and his parents made concessions, he went to take the Jinshi exam, but after passing the exam, his parents did not force him to become an official. However, then the Han family's parents were anxious about his marriage heir, saying that since he had failed the list, he would marry a wife and have a son first, and find him a good partner. Unexpectedly, Han Tianshuang didn't look down on any of the girls mentioned by her parents. Old Man Han was so angry that he didn't allow him to go home, and claimed that he wanted to cut off the support of the money, but when Old Lady Han was alive, he transferred all the properties in Cannes to the name of his grandson, so Han Tianshuang was not short of silver, and Mrs. Han had to persuade her son in person when she saw this, as long as she was willing to marry, it would not be a problem to follow which daughter he liked.

Jiang casually mentioned that he was also worried about his daughter's marriage, because of the conflict with his sister-in-law in the early years, and the brother-in-law and his wife were jealous of the sister-in-law's prominent family, and they wanted to get married, but the daughter lost all the good family affairs, and because of this, she damaged her reputation, and she still can't get married. The Gu family is also an official family, and it is nothing to bring a son-in-law.

Jiang Shi did have a hint when he said this, but he didn't make it clear from beginning to end, whether Mrs. Han could understand it or not was her own business. If the Han family understands and is willing to take this family affair, then after Wen Hui marries, the Jiang family will have something to reciprocate. She has recently resumed correspondence with Uncle Jiang, even if her husband Master Gu is unwilling to reach out, and there is Uncle Jiang who is about to rise to prominence to rely on, she is not worried about causing dissatisfaction among the Han family.

But where Wen Xian heard about this, Jiang didn't know anything.

However, Mrs. Lu had a guess: "Since Mrs. Han came to see her son, she naturally wants to meet with Master Han, if she has the heart to marry this family, she will also find someone to inquire about the six girls." Didn't Brother Xing introduce Han Gongzi to Brother Ning before? Those five girls should visit Mrs. Han for both reason, could it be that they heard about it at that time? ”

Jiang Shi clasped his palms: "It must be like this, alas, I knew that this was the case, I wouldn't have said that, but I didn't expect it to happen, but it hurt Hui'er......" raised his sleeves and wiped his tears.

Wen Yi said: "Auntie, don't be busy crying, this matter may not be so bad, but if we don't handle it properly, we may also ruin our reputation." This is not the capital, there are many scholars with a high and upright temperament, Han Gongzi himself does not value fame and fortune, if only a few of our families know, it is just a gossip after dinner, if it is spread out, how can Han Gongzi meet people? How do the sixth sisters meet people? She didn't say a word, that is, how did Liu Dongxing meet people? In her opinion, this matter is more serious, because of the relationship with the Gu Han family, and the matter came out of the mouth of the Liu family, Liu Dongxing and her are equivalent to being caught in the middle, and if they are not careful, they will become degenerates in the eyes of the teachers

Jiang Shi was a little panicked: "That...... So what do we do? ”

"Let's find Han Gongzi to make it clear first" Wen Yi said categorically, "Han Gongzi is a reasonable person, we have made it clear to him, as long as he doesn't misunderstand, everything is easy to say." I will ask Xianggong to persuade Brother Ning not to let his younger siblings talk nonsense outside, if my younger siblings refuse to listen, please invite someone who can talk to her" Wen Xian thinks that no one in the Gu family can cure her now? It's ridiculous, as long as she still wants this mother's family, don't think she can do whatever she wants

Wen Yi got up and called someone, intending to ask Han Tianshuang if he had left. It is very likely that a young man who comes alone like this is still drunk and chatting with his host, so he can just ask him to take a step to talk.

As a result, the girl who went to inquire about the news brought back surprising news: Han Tianshuang did not leave, but he was not at the table outside, he was invited to a corner of the corridor between the two gardens, and the person who invited him was Wen Hui...
