People's growth often blossoms and bears fruit because of one thing, or because of a certain moment's heartbeat.

Xue Pan is like this.

Compared with Mrs. Xue's "high-ranking lady" plot, Xue Pan's requirements for his wife are not high, but they are not high, but they also have extremely complicated conditions.

First, he must be good-looking and beautiful, at least not too much worse than his sister Baochai.

Second, there must be filial piety, because it is not easy for his mother, Mrs. Xue, to raise their brothers and sisters, and they should also enjoy the joy of family.

And he is the eldest brother in the family, the eldest brother is like a father, and the three younger siblings have to rely on him to support him. If he marries back a woman who is selfish and has no filial piety, what will happen to his younger siblings?

It's good to be like my cousin Wang Xifeng, looking at the younger brothers and sisters in Rongguo Mansion, Xue Pan is quite envious.

Well, that's enough on the big picture. What kind of family he came from, it doesn't matter, he Xue Pan is now an official of the Sanpin East Palace, and he is already a wealthy family among wealthy families.

As for the wealth of the family, Xue Pan himself couldn't count how much silver the Xue family had now. So, do these matter?

Not to mention, Xue Pan, an iron Hanhan, is more sober than everyone else in the matter of marrying a wife.

It may seem like a low requirement, but it is extremely difficult to achieve.

But if he can really marry such a woman, he will be able to achieve family harmony and worry-free house.

After the luncheon, a few drunk people went to the room to rest, and Jia Cong took Xue Pan to the south of the city to see the "Tofu Xi Shi".

In Xue Pan's mouth, the "Tofu Shih Tzu" girl respects her parents, is a good brother, and is diligent and benevolent, that is, she will give a bowl of porridge to the beggars on the street, and she is simply a bodhisattva-like character.

Gee~

Uncle Xue would even meet such a woman?

……

Go south out of Zhengyang Gate, and you will arrive at the outer city of Jingshi.

Unlike the inner city, the outer city is actually more smoky, as the vast majority of the people who live here are ordinary people.

Compared with the high gates of the inner city, there is no fixed place in the fang market in the outer city, and often a door and window will be opened on the street, and some needles, threads, brains, meat and vegetables are placed to sell for a few dollars to subsidize the family.

"Tofu Xi Shi" girl is like this, her home is near the Chongfu Temple in Xuannanfang has a small house with two entrances, her father Yu Dali was originally a small flag official in Beijing, and he can buy this small house in the capital, and it can also be seen that the original family is good.

But when he went on an expedition to Mobei earlier, Yu Dali died in battle in the Wara royal court, although the family had the court's pension, but his mother Song was weak and sickly, and his younger siblings were young.

In order not to sit and eat empty, Yu Yao, who had passed the age of Xuan, repeatedly postponed the marriage, opened a small door at the front door, and sold tofu.

The intersection of Xue Pan and the Yu family is actually because of Yu Dali's sacrifice. Yu Dali is the Pao Ze brother who went to Mobei with him to raid, and the brother died in front of him, and he, as Paoze, has the responsibility to take care of his family.

Just like the words that the brothers would say before every great army went out.

"Brother, if I die in battle, please take care of my wife, children, and mother......"

This is the friendship between the comrades-in-arms of Paoze, and it is also the responsibility and obligation that has been passed down for thousands of years.

It's just that Xue Pan's way of taking care of this guy is a little special, this is to be a son-in-law for Pao Ze......

This small shop of the Yu family doesn't even have a serious store name, but it's still quite famous.

The main reason is that the owner is good and warm, and the tofu is not only clean, but also tastes very good.

In addition, Yu Dali died in the war for the country, and the neighbors admired the loyalty of the heroic soul, so they naturally took care of their children.

As for those bloody bullying, there have been, but they have long been scared by Xue Pan's big fist, and now no scoundrel dares to come to Yu's small shop to make trouble.

The last time he made trouble was the last time, and the man had already been accused by the forbidden army patrolling the streets, and he was thrown to Saibei to eat sand.

However, Xue Pan is not the only one who is worried about Miss Yu Yao, and there are many good sons in the forbidden army who have taken a fancy to this "Tofu Shih".

The carriage of the Jia family stopped not far from the Yu family's shop, and it was only two quarters of an hour, and two men in the army had already appeared outside the shop.

"Brother Xue, you really have a lot of 'love rivals'......"

"The person who sells the first is in front of Xue, but the local chicken and the dog~"

"I said Brother Xue, watch a few less plays in "Three Kingdoms", Guan Er Ye is too confident, so he will lose Maicheng. You see, there was another one, and that person was quite close to Miss Yu, although he was a little too young......"

"Well, that's Miss Yu's younger brother, only eight years old......"

Ahem......

Jia Cong jumped out of the carriage and squeezed his eyes at Xue Pan.

"Let's go, let's try Miss Yu's tofu ......"

After saying this, Jia Cong felt weird. But it's not important, the important thing is to hurry up and see if this Miss Yu is like Xue Pan said.

If it is really such a character, if you don't hurry up and let Xue Pan marry home, the eight ancestors of the old Xue family will have to jump out and smoke Xue Pan a few mouths.

Marrying a virtuous wife and prospering three generations, this is not a joke.

Xue Pan adjusted for a while after getting out of the car, and then temporarily pressed down the twist.

Before he walked to the front of the Yu shop, he saw that the eight-year-old child looking outside the store had bright eyes, and two dimples appeared on his fleshy face.

"It's Brother Xue, sister, it's Brother Xue who is here~"

Jia Cong looked back at Xue Pan in surprise: You guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, you still know how to save the country?

……

After the two of them sat in the small shop and tasted a bowl of tofu, Jia Cong finally figured out the current relationship between Xue Pan and Yu Yao.

Lang is affectionate, concubine...... Alas, it can't be said to be unjust, but there are concerns between the two, and this concern is not small.

Xue Pan was worried that his mother was bent on marrying him a noble girl, and she couldn't look down on Yu Yao, the daughter of a small family.

And Yu Yao's worries are greater, her mother is sick and weak, and her eight-year-old brother is not very good, and he can't even inherit his father's position as a small banner, so he can only try to take the path of studying and taking the imperial examination.

There is also a five-year-old sister at home, if she marries, what will happen to her mother? What about siblings?

Besides, how could the Xue family's Zhumen family take a fancy to themselves?

Therefore, although Xue Pan has shown it obviously, Yu Yao tries to avoid it.

However, Yu Yao's younger siblings are extremely close to Xue Pan, not only because Xue Pan has beaten away distant relatives in the clan who want to occupy their family property, but also because he has beaten away the playful hooligans who bullied their sister before.

The children's minds are so simple, they think that Brother Xue is tall and powerful, and his sister is beautiful and good-looking, and the two of them are like heroes in the play saving beauties, and they should be together.

In Jia Cong's opinion, Yu Yao is really good-looking, at least at the same level as her third sister.

But the character is by no means as gentle as water as Xue Pan said, but soft and rigid, a good girl with self-esteem and self-love, assertiveness and perseverance.

He had observed from a distance just now that Yu Yao was obviously different from Xue Pan in the face of those two followers.

The two Yu Yao were respectful and far away, and they were polite when they refused the overtures of the two.

As for Xue Pan, she must like it, but she also understands the gap between the two.

Regarding Xue Pan's intentional or unintentional confession, her response was full of regret, and she almost said that the two of them were not in the right household.

It's just that Xue Pan, who is an iron man, probably deliberately avoided the rejected response and pretended not to hear it.

It's interesting~

Jia Cong dug up the tofu brain spoonful by spoonful and ate it, quietly watching Xue Pan's expression gradually twisted.

Yu Yao wrapped the few pieces of tofu left in the store, saying that she wanted Xue Pan and Jia Cong to take them home.

"It just so happens that my grandmother likes these soft and glutinous foods, she must like them, maybe tomorrow she will let the housekeeper come to Miss Yu to set a hundred and ten catties."

"A hundred pounds? That's a lot, this tofu is not released, if the old lady likes it, it is enough to buy three or five catties to try it. ”

Yu Yao didn't know Jia Cong's identity yet, not only did she not rejoice because of the big business of more than 100 catties, but reminded Jia Cong that her tofu products were not released, and she didn't think about making a lot of money from it.

This girl's character is indeed excellent, emphasizing righteousness over profit, Xue Pan, this guy is honest and straightforward, and his vision is really outrageous.

Jia Cong snorted and poured the last half bowl of tofu brain into his stomach, and the warm tofu brain washed away the greasy wine at lunch, and he felt a lot more comfortable.

"Miss Yu, I have a lot of family, and it is estimated that more than 100 catties are not enough to eat, but I don't see that Miss Yu makes much tofu every day......"

Yu Yao smiled gently: "No way, I'm the only one in this shop, my younger brothers and sisters are young, and at most they can help me get started." I can only prepare 100 pounds a day, which is already the ultimate I can do. ”

Xue Pan's fan brother Yu Xin, who was on the side, kept clicking on his brain: "What my sister said is true, my sister and I will help, but we can only do so much." My sister said that if it weren't for the small amount of tofu I made, I wouldn't have had to wait until the government-run school was built last year to study. ”

"The court's pension is not enough, so the family sends Yu Xin to study?"

The smile on Jia Cong's face suddenly disappeared, it is said that Yu Dali died in the northern battle, even if he did not make great contributions, the imperial court's pension silver will not be less.

It was a battle in which a lone army went deep into the grassland for thousands of miles and raided the court of Warat, and there was definitely a hundred or so taels of silver.

Not to mention being rich and expensive, let Yu Xin go to study and enlighten, and he won't need five taels of silver a year.

Looking at Yu Yao's love for Yu Xin's younger brother, it is impossible to feel sorry for the five taels of silver......

"Is there someone who is greedy for money? Miss Yu can tell Ben Bo that Ben Bo is in charge of you! ”

Yu Yao was clear-minded, and according to her limited understanding of Xue Pan, she had already guessed Jia Cong's identity.

I saw her bowing, shook her head and replied: "Uncle, my father's pension was personally sent by Brother Xue, not only did it not deduct, but it also had an extra twenty taels. It's just that my mother's health has always been poor, and at that time, I suddenly heard that my father died in battle, and I almost returned with my father, but Brother Xue hired a famous doctor, and it took several months to save my life......"

"I said that I would pay for the cost of medicine, and let Brother Xin go to study first, but you didn't agree......"

"I can earn the cost of my brother's study!"

Jia Cong ignored Xue Pan's muttering and complaining, and had a higher evaluation of Yu Yao.

Those who are wise do not drink the water of the stolen springs, and those who are inexpensive are not allowed to eat from the springs. Yu Yao's character is really not to say, and the luck of the overlord is really good.

"I see......"

Jia Cong nodded, revealed the matter and did not say anything more.

He pulled Xue Pan aside and whispered, "She is indeed a good girl, does Brother Xue really want to marry her back?" ”

"This is natural, for this reason I even refused the girl introduced to me by His Highness!"

Xue Pan's answer made Jia Cong's heart feel at ease, and he smiled slightly.

"In this case, Brother Xue can make it clear to Miss Yu that you are a man, and you should have the responsibility of a man. I have a clear friendship with Miss Yu, as for my aunt's side, I'll figure it out! ”

……

In fact, Xue Pan's affection for her, Yu Yao had long seen it in her eyes.

But Yu Yao has too many concerns, which is the reason why she always avoids refusal.

After Xue Pan re-entered the shop, he did not knock on the side as usual, but expressed his heart directly, but startled Yu Yao.

"Brother Xue, I'm not worthy of you."

A hint of brightness clearly flashed in Yu Yao's eyes, but it quickly became bitter.

She shook her head, calmly packed up the things in the store, scrubbed the table, and hid the loss and regret in her heart.

Xue Pan is a good man, honest and cheerful, and a person who values love and righteousness, and is the same kind of person as his father.

It's a pity that the Xue family is a first-class high-ranking family in the country, and she is a small family girl who sells tofu for a living, how can she be worthy of a third-grade general.

The noble son of Zhumen, when he is worthy of being a noble lady who knows how to be knowledgeable. How many words did she Yu Yao recognize? Can she recite poetry and paint? She can only make tofu!

Thinking about it, Yu Yao felt that everything in front of her had become blurry, and she burst into tears.

But she quickly wiped away the tears, and when she looked up again, she had already regained her old look.

Xue Pan was stupid and didn't know how to respond to Yu Yao's refusal, Jia Cong really couldn't stand it, so he interjected and said: "I know Miss Yu's concerns, but whether you are worthy or not depends on the situation." It's true that the door is right, but in my opinion, Miss Yu is a good match for my big brother Xue......"

"That's right, it's a good match!"

Jia Cong glanced at the eager Xue Pan and shook his head amusedly.

He rearranged his language and said to Yu Yao: "I told Miss Yu that my aunt, that is, Brother Xue's mother, really wants to find a princess and noble daughter for Brother Xue, but the funny thing is that those princesses and nobles dislike my Brother Xue for not knowing a single basket of big words, thinking that he is a vulgar military man who is not worthy of them......"

Yu Yao subconsciously wanted to defend Xue Pan, frowned and said, "Who said that?" Brother Xue attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and he is a rare good man! Isn't it all said in the play, every time you slaughter more dogs, you are mostly a reader......"

"You see, in the eyes of those princesses and nobles, Brother Xue is a vulgar military man and is not worthy of them. But you can see how good Brother Xue is, and understand that he is a rare good man, this is the fate between you and Brother Xue. ”

Although the negative sentence was mostly a mistake by the reader, Jia Cong, a reader, still ignored it.

He persuaded him step by step: "As for my aunt's side, with Miss Yu's character, as long as you get along for a few days, I think she won't care about her background." After all, marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous girl, Miss Yu is so virtuous, her aunt will definitely be very rare. ”

Jia Cong's words made Yu Yao's face a little shy, and she wanted to shake her head again, but she heard Jia Cong continue: "Miss Yu, don't be in a hurry to refuse, in two days, I will invite someone who can decide on Brother Xue's family affairs to come and visit, and it will not be too late to decide after Miss Yu talks to her." ”
