Chapter 333: Xue Xing is engaged
Jia Mu and the others were not at home, and the Daguan Garden was lively and lively, but there were a lot of things.
In the small kitchen of Daguanyuan, two groups of people competed for power, and finally the Liu family, who had a good daughter, won the management of the small kitchen.
Her daughter Liu Wu'er was also asked by Jia Baoyu to Yihong Courtyard.
Mrs. Wang was not there, Wang Xifeng was too lazy to care, and Liu Wu'er successfully entered Yihong Courtyard.
In the blink of an eye, Baoyu's birthday has arrived.
Jia Huan and Jia Cong Jia Lan went to Yihong Courtyard early in the morning to congratulate Jia Baoyu.
didn't stay long, the two left Yihong Courtyard and went to the clan study.
After returning from the clan study, I listened to Xiao Jixiang and Pengguan and knew the excitement of the day in Daguanyuan.
This day is not only Jia Baoyu's birthday, but also Xue Baoqin's birthday, and also the birthday of Ping'er Xing Xiuyan.
The Grand View Garden was recognized by the public as having fun and eating all day long.
Jia Huan said in his heart, a whole day is not enough for them to make trouble, and the evening is the main event.
Sure enough, in the evening, Jia Baoyu held a banquet in Yihong Courtyard, invited all the girls in the garden, and a group of people ate wine and drew lots.
As written in the original book, Xue Baochai drew the peony flower stick, "Ren is ruthless and moving".
Tanchun drew the apricot blossom flower lot, "the red apricot on the sun side leans on the cloud planting".
Li Kun drew the plum blossom flower stick, "the bamboo fence hut is willing".
Shi Xiangyun drew the begonia flower stick, "I'm afraid that I will fall asleep in the middle of the night."
The musk moon draws the flower sticks of the tulip flowers, "it's time to bloom the tulip flowers".
Now that Xiangling, Raider and Qingwen have all left, Lin Daiyu has not stayed in Jiafu, and there is no lottery result for several of them.
The group played late and then dispersed.
Jia Huan didn't pay attention to the whole process, and only listened to Peng Guan's mention afterwards.
It was Fang Guan who told Peng Guan, in order to attract Peng Guan's envy.
Peng Guanke didn't envy it at all, didn't he just have a drink with a group of masters at night?
What is there to envy?
With the money for eating and drinking, it is better to reward her, and she goes to the street to buy more delicious snacks.
Jia Huan remembered Xue Zhen he saw in the spy camp.
Obviously, his sister had a birthday, but Xue Zhen didn't have much joy, and there was sadness hidden between his eyebrows.
Jia Huan stopped Xue Zhen and asked casually.
Xue Zhen did not hide it, and said what he was worried about.
He took his sister to the capital to send his sister to marry.
However, they have been in the capital for so long, and they have already greeted the Mei family, but the Mei family has not fulfilled the marriage contract for a long time.
Xue Zhen couldn't understand how the Mei family wanted to repent of marriage!
They didn't want to bear the infamy of taking the initiative to repent of their marriage, so they used procrastination to drag it to the Xue family and voluntarily withdraw from the marriage.
Anyway, it doesn't have much impact on men getting married later, but if women get married late, the impact is not small.
Jia Huan asked Xue Zhen: "What are you going to do?" Is it to quit or force the Mei family to marry your sister? β
Xue Zhen said: "Forcing the Mei family to marry Baoqin, after she marries into the Mei family, life will definitely not be easy." I want to quit my family, even if it has an impact on my sister's reputation, I can control it to the minimum. β
Jia Huan nodded in agreement, and Xue Zhen saw it quite clearly.
Jia Huan hooked his finger at Xue Zhen, and Xue Zhen came to Jia Huan's side.
Jia Huan pursed his lips and whispered: "Mei Hanlin is not very innocent, you can investigate it yourself." β
Xue Zhen hurriedly bowed his hand to Jia Huan, thanking Jia Huan for his guidance.
Dare to bully their Xue family like this, he must be good-looking for the Mei family!
Xue Zhen protected his sister very well and did not tell Xue Baoqin that the Mei family wanted to regret the marriage.
Xue Baoqin had a very happy time in the Grand View Garden.
But Xue Zhen has already made a decision, and he must tell Xue Baoqin about it.
After all, it is Xue Baoqin's lifelong event.
After listening to his brother's story, Xue Baoqin made the same decision as Xue Zhen.
Divorce!
If you marry into such a person, it will be a fire pit.
Xue Baoqin was very supportive of Xue Zhen's decision.
So, Xue Zhen found the Mei family with the token given by the Mei family.
The Mei family hadn't had time to leave the capital, they thought that Xue Zhen was here to urge marriage, and they had already thought of a reason to get Xue Zhen from the lake, but how did they know that Xue Zhen was actually here to withdraw from the marriage.
The Xue family took the initiative to withdraw from the marriage, but the Mei family did not agree, and immediately returned the Xue family's tokens and marriage letters.
Xue Zhen took the token and the marriage book and walked away.
The Mei family was very happy and discussed the matter of marrying the son of the Mei family immediately.
The Mei family has long been optimistic about the selection of relatives, and she is the daughter of a certain member of the household department.
Because of the marriage contract with the Xue family, they couldn't go to Yuanwailang's house to ask for relatives, thinking that this marriage would be yellow.
Unexpectedly, the Xue family took the initiative to withdraw from their relatives.
"Count them as acquaintances." The head of the Mei family stroked his beard and said.
The Mei family took action, and before they left Beijing, they completed the marriage with the daughter of the household member Wailang.
The daughter of the Yuanwailang family has not yet reached the end of time, but she is not in a hurry to get married, and the marriage is scheduled for two years.
All this information was sent to Xue Zhen by spies.
Xue Zhen looked at the information, thinking that there would be one more person to investigate.
This household member named Zuo Hanguang also needs to investigate.
It's not that he retaliates, but that he thinks the marriage between the Zuo family and the Mei family is too strange.
Although the Household Department member Wailang is only a six-grade official, the Household Department is the most important yamen in the court, and the positions here are all fragrant buns.
The officials here are very rich.
Although Hanlin has a noble name, he is a poor yamen.
In this way, how could the Zuo family look down on the Mei family?
Still married to the Mei family?
The Mei family will not have much help to the Zuo family.
Unlessβ
They are in the same camp.
Now the prince is not very old, and he has not yet reached the age of taking the heir.
So which camp do these two belong to?
Xue Zhen went through several forces in the court in his mind, and he couldn't make a judgment.
There is still too little information.
Xue Zhen sent the spies belonging to his subordinates out to investigate the Mei family and the Zuo family in detail.
However, this matter could not be completed in a short time, and Xue Zhen could only wait with his mind.
Now that his sister has withdrawn, he has to find a good family for his sister again.
As a result, before he could help Xue Baoqin choose a good family, Aunt Xue came to Xue Zhen with a smile.
She helped Xue Zhen take a good look at the girl in the family.
Xue Zhen asked, and found that the girl Aunt Xue favored was Xing Xiuyan.
The Xue family and the Xing family went to Beijing together, and Xue Zhen had many opportunities to meet Xing Xiuyan, and he had a good impression of this girl.
After listening to Aunt Xue's words, Xue Zhen did not object, and nodded in agreement.
He knew Aunt Xue's plan to use his marriage to win over Mrs. Xing and pave the way for Xue Baochai to marry into the Jia family.
But Xing Xiuyan is indeed a good girl, and she will be a good wife in the future.
Xue Zhen had no reason not to agree.
Aunt Xue was very happy, and when Mrs. Xing and Mother Jia returned home, she went to ask Mother Jia to be a matchmaker.
