In the Shouqing Hall of the Hou Mansion in Pingbei, the old lady Zhang was talking to his daughters-in-law Jin and Wang, but the situation was quite mysterious, they were very close to each other, discussing something in a whisper, and sent two big girls to watch the wind at the door.

Zhang: "What's going on over there?" ”

Kim: "That's it! ”

Wang: "I don't think it's going to be bad!" ”

There was a sudden movement outside the door, "Childe, the old lady, the eldest wife, and the second wife have been waiting for you for a long time!" Xu Muqiu glanced at the girl who was talking inexplicably, thinking that I had never seen you so energetic in the past! Listening to the girl's voice just now, Xu Muqiu only felt that the eardrums shook three times.

The three women in the hall also heard the movement at the door, and hurriedly stopped the conversation, and sat down separately, with a casual look on their faces at the same time. Seeing Xu Muqiu come in to say goodbye, he was as caring as ever. It's just that Xu Muqiu is puzzled that in the past, several people were eager to keep him to sit until dark, but today after he asked for peace, he was hastily sent out, saying that it doesn't matter where he goes, just don't stay in the house!

It turned out that the three grandmothers of the Zhang family were preparing for a major event today, this Xu Muqiu had been back home for nearly a year, and seeing that he was almost sixteen years old, but the major events of his life had not yet been settled, this child was not in a hurry at all, but it could make several hostesses of the Hou Mansion worried!

If it weren't for the old lady Zhang's seeing her grandson's interest in the Qin family that day, she would have wondered if her good grandson liked women? There are a few big girls in the room, but there are no stickers? can only be a good grandson, and he doesn't know the beauty of this!

No, the three daughters of Houmen will go into battle in person, and in just a few months, they have found out the situation of school-age women in various families in Beijing, and today they are summarizing the suitable candidates in their hands, and they want to find an opportunity to introduce them to Xu Muqiu another day. I was afraid that my grandson would be thin-skinned, so I didn't tell him thoroughly, and hurriedly drove him out.

Xu Muqiu always felt that the people in the house today were weird, but he couldn't say it when he thought about it, so he could only leave the house with a stomach full of doubts. All the way, he took the little guy to wander aimlessly in this god capital.

"Brother Qiu, why are you going around here? But where to go? Jia Lian's appearance interrupted Xu Muqiu's boredom. I saw that he came over on a horse and said to Xu Muqiu head-on.

"Second Brother Lian, it's funny, it's just that there is nowhere to go, so I'm wandering around this city!." Xu Muqiu replied with a wry smile.

When Jia Lian heard this, he said loudly: "Coincidentally, Brother Qiu, there is a banquet in my house today, so come with me to have a good time!" ”

"Second Brother Lian, is the old lady in this mansion having a banquet again?"

"It's not an old lady today, it's Aunt Xue who came to the house a few days ago to invite a group of female dependents to Gao Le in the inner courtyard, and her brother Xue Pan invited male guests to eat wine in the outer courtyard, and she still wants to find you, but I happened to bump into it here! Go together, go together! As soon as he heard this, he immediately remembered the Xue family's entry into Beijing, and he was interested, but he was not polite, and followed Jia Lian directly to Jiafu!

Jia Lian led Xu Muqiu to the inner courtyard to visit Jia's mother first, and before she entered the house, she heard a burst of laughter from inside, and the voice of her daughter's house was like a silver bell blowing in the wind, which was very pleasant. It's just that there are some male voices interspersed from time to time, which spoils the scenery! Who else can there be if it's not Baoyu! Xu Muqiu was very helpless, shook his head, and walked into the inner hall.

"Godgrandson, you're here! I haven't seen you for a while, and I heard your grandmother say that she went to school? Mother Jia was very happy to see her grandson and asked.

"Grandson to your old man, the old lady is really well-informed, grandson is going to the country to learn some truth, no, just on vacation, I am in a hurry to see you!"

Mother Jia was happy to hear this, asked him to come closer, pulled him over, and said to a graceful woman beside her: "Auntie, come and see, this is the Brother Qiu I often mention to you, old lady, what I said is true, right?" ”

This graceful woman is Baochai's mother, Aunt Xue, and I saw her smile and said: "Brother, what a real fairy-like character, it is more than 10,000 times stronger than what you described, old lady!" ”

In the end, she was married to a businesswoman, Aunt Xue's ability to speak seemed to be innate, and she won the favor of Jia's mother when she opened her mouth. Xu Muqiu was ashamed of these words, and he was extremely useful in his heart at the moment. Mother Jia was happy to have a bit with Aunt Xue before letting Xu Muqiu go to meet the juniors.

Xu Muqiu met everyone one by one, and when it was Daiyu's turn, he took advantage of the unpreparedness of others and winked at her, and a thousand words were in it. But Daiyu ignored him with a small face, blaming him for not coming to see her all these days! Xu Muqiu understood what Daiyu meant, and tried to make an expression of apology, Daiyu's expression softened, and he snorted lightly to mean that he was let go.

The series of expressions of the two of them are very short-lived, and they all rely on tacit understanding, so they almost hide from everyone. There was only one person in view, that is, Baochai sitting next to Daiyu, she didn't make a sound, only showed a thoughtful appearance.

When Xu Muqiu turned around to greet her, she saw that she was really as graceful as that peony, and said generously: "I've seen my brother, Baochai is so polite!" ”

"Sister is polite, this is considered to have been seen, there is no need to be so polite in the future!"

After that, he and the ladies in the house asked for resignation, he was not Jia Baoyu after all, not to mention that Jia Lian was still waiting outside for him to go to the outer courtyard to eat and drink together?

The ladies of the inner courtyard are not like men who need to eat wine and music, and besides, Jia's mother is old, so this banquet will not be held too late. The gossip was gone. Xue's mother and daughter talked about today's events and today's people on the way back to Lixiangyuan, of course, this conversation is mainly on Xu Muqiu.

Aunt Xue said: "Can my son see Brother Qiu from the Pingbei Hou Mansion today?" I think that kid's character and appearance are excellent! ”

It turned out that the Xue family was still a relative when they entered Beijing, but the reason was no longer to avoid trouble! I don't know why Xu Muqiu took a step ahead of Xue Pan and intercepted Hu Xiangling, and he had no motive to kill people. Speaking of which, it can be regarded as saving the life of Feng Yuan, who likes male style, but unfortunately he did not take the initiative to save people, and no good deeds were recorded.

Although she did not avoid trouble, for the sake of the Xue family's business and the identity of the imperial businessman, Aunt Xue still decided to stay in this god capital for a few years, looking for an opportunity to let Baochai enter the palace to be selected. To put it bluntly, I want to find a backer, and this Xu Muqiu is also a good choice, so Aunt Xue has this question.

Xue Baochai was already extremely smart and skilled, and when she heard her mother's words, she didn't do that kind of shame, and replied quite methodically: "What my mother said is reasonable, this brother is really good, and his family background and appearance are all first-class, but my daughter may not have this opportunity." ”

Aunt Xue was puzzled when she heard this, her daughter is a first-class good, although the identity of the merchant girl is a little weaker, but this Xu Muqiu is when she is young Mu Ai, if her daughter is willing to work harder, then the position of the wife of the Hou Mansion is not afraid to think about it, it is much more reliable than the future of the palace to be selected. Thinking of this, Aunt Xue was even more eager in her heart, and hurriedly asked her daughter, what did he say just now?

Xue Baochai was silent, and didn't go to Aunt Xue's words, but in her mind, she recalled over and over again, the scene she saw in the inner courtyard, Xu Muqiu and Daiyu seemed to be flirting?
