Most of the residents in Xuannanfang are military households in Beijing, and the rest are craftsmen who have migrated to Beijing to do some small businesses or small workshops.

Therefore, the place is close to Chongfu Temple and Jade Emperor Temple, and many pilgrims pass by, so Yu Yao can basically maintain the consumption of silver money at home by relying on the tofu sold every day, and even save a few pennies.

Since her conversation with Jia Cong and Xue Pan two days ago, Yu Yao has had something on her mind, and she has been anxious for the past two days, looking in the direction of the street entrance in a daze when there are no guests, and occasionally blushing.

In Uncle Yongfeng's mouth, who will be the person who can manage the affairs of the Xue family?

Yu Yao's heart was always uneasy, and she was worried that the helmsman of the Xue family would look down on her.

Xue Pan has a deep love for her, and she is also very good to Xue Pan. This has nothing to do with the wealth of the Xue family, but I really think that Xue Pan is a good man like her father.

The daughter of the military family is so real, even if Xue Pan's family is surrounded by walls, as long as Xue Pan can support her for a piece of the sky, she can live with this man with all her heart.

It's a pity that the Xue family not only has a fortune of millions, but Xue Pan herself is a general of the three grades of the imperial court, and she Yu Yao is not worthy of such a good man......

Yu Yao waited for several days under such complicated emotions, until the sixth day of the seventh month, when she was tired and tired from the hot weather, she sat drowsy in front of the table with her chin in her hand on her hand, but she heard a sudden sound of horses' hooves outside the store.

"Phew~"

"Young lady, it's here."

……

The real person in charge of the Xue family has actually always been the eldest girl of the Xue family, and now she is the eldest grandson and daughter-in-law of the old man Shangshuhe of the Ministry of Rites, Xue Baochai.

From the Xue family's large and small businesses, to the trivial matters of the Xue family's house, almost everything is handled by Baochai one by one.

As for Xue Pan, who is an iron man, whenever something happens, the most common sentence on his lips is - I'll go back and ask my sister first!

After Jia Cong returned from Xuannanfang, he asked Daiyu to invite Baochai over on the second day, and after telling the reason in detail, Baochai wanted to come over to find out the details of this Yu girl.

Although her brother is not as good as Jia Cong and other princes and nobles, he can be regarded as a wealthy son, and now he is a henchman of the East Palace, the prince's former general, who will be fascinated by a girl who sells tofu......

Baochai's first impression of Yu Yao was not very good, in the matter of her brother's wife, she and her mother Mrs. Xue held the same opinion, her brother must find a girl with the right family, or even a high-ranking wife.

Only in this way can the elder brother have the help of his wife, and the Xue family's heritage can be more sufficient.

"Sister Bao, don't think about it, let's go and take a look at this 'Tofu Shih Tzu' first."

It was not only Baochai who got off the carriage, but also Daiyu who accompanied her.

The luxurious carriage stopped in front of the Yu shop, which made the nearby neighbors very curious.

After the Daiyu and Baochai sisters stepped out of the carriage, the people who were originally passing by stopped and looked over, and time seemed to stand still.

"It turns out that there are really fairies in this world~"

Jia Cong also turned over and dismounted, and smiled and nodded at Yu Yao first.

Only then did Yu Yao understand that the helmsman of the Xue family that Yongfeng Bo had said was here, and he was suddenly a little at a loss.

The Yu family's small shop closed in advance, and Jia Cong and the three of them were invited into the Yu family's courtyard, and the three of them did not disturb Yu's mother Song, who was napping on the sickbed, but only sat in the shade of the tree in the front yard.

The cool breeze under the shade of the tree was just right, and Yu Yao brought tea and snacks and fruits. Tea is not a treasure, water is no more than well water, snacks are made by Yu Yao herself, melons and fruits are just seasonal things in summer, but it can also be seen that Yu Yao attaches great importance to several people.

"Miss Yu, this is Brother Xue's own sister, and this is my fiancée......"

"The folk girl greets Her Royal Highness the Princess, and the meeting is pleasant."

Who Yongfengbo's fiancée is, few people in the capital are not clear. Her younger brother was able to enter the government-run school to study and learn calligraphy because of the blessing of Her Royal Highness Princess Wen'an.

As for Xue Pan's sister, Yu Yao also heard from him that she was married to the eldest grandson of the Ministry of Rites, and now she is a five-grade and pleasant fate.

Moreover, this eldest girl of the Xue family herself is the princess of Zhengliupin, Zanshan, and the official of the imperial court.

No wonder Yongfeng Bo said that he would invite someone who can really decide the affairs of the Xue family to come over, the eldest girl of the Xue family is extremely talented, and there are many girls of the same age around her who are both envious and admired, including her Yu Yao herself.

Daiyu just smiled gently and gave Baochai a look.

Today, she is mainly Baochai, after all, she is to show her brother a daughter-in-law.

Baochai helped Yu Yao up and carefully looked at the girl in front of her.

"No wonder my brother even rejected the candidate for peace with His Royal Highness the Prince, Miss Yu was really good-looking."

As soon as Baochai's words came out, Jia Cong and Daiyu looked at each other and smiled.

It seems that there is hope for this marriage~

Yu Yao was praised by Baochai like this, not only was she not happy and proud, but she was even more uneasy.

She said humbly: "With Her Royal Highness the princess and Yiren in front of her, how can you praise the nobles with a thin posture of the people." His Royal Highness and Yicai are the reincarnation of Luoshen, and the immortals descend to earth......"

The conversation between Baochai and Yu Yao quickly turned to Xue Pan, while Jia Cong and Daiyu sat quietly and listened.

From Jia Cong's point of view, Baochai has been in control of the whole conversation.

In a normal conversation, Baochai's train of thought seemed to be incoherent, jumping with a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west, but Jia Cong could feel the change in her attitude towards Yu Yao.

Daiyu whispered in Jia Cong's ear: "This Miss Yu and Sister Bao are like ......."

After Daiyu's reminder, Jia Cong suddenly discovered that Yu Yao was really like Baochai in terms of temperament and experience.

Although their family backgrounds are very different, these two people use their weak bodies to support their families.

"It's really ......"

Jia Cong and Daiyu bit their ears: "No wonder Sister Bao was extremely reluctant at first, and later said that she wanted to come and see for herself, and now she is even more ......"

Baochai had already taken Yu Yao's hand and told her about some things about the Xue family, such as the situation of her mother and younger siblings at home, as well as her brother's temperament and hobbies.

Jia Cong and the others are almost sure that Baochai is very satisfied with this girl with a similar temperament and experience to herself.

……

Not far from the Yu family, a group of people walked out of Chongfu Temple.

The prince was dressed in regular clothes, holding a folding fan, enjoying a rare relaxation.

"I said General Xue, can you relax a little, scratching your ears and cheeks, I feel itchy all over my body."

Xue Pan couldn't help but scratch the back of his head again, and said helplessly: "I don't want to, but I just can't calm down." Master, do you think my sister will disagree? ”

Liu Hong glanced at his confidant general speechlessly: "You are a man, you are the head of the Xue family, why do you have to be the sister in charge of everything?" Unpromising! ”

Unexpectedly, Xue Pan was not only not a little ashamed, but smiled innocently: "I'm just unproductive, beating my little sister is smarter than me, as long as my sister has an idea, there is nothing wrong." I am also relieved that she will take care of my family's affairs. ”

"You ......"

Damn, it's amazing to have a smart and capable sister!

The situation of the Xue family, as Xue Pan's monarch, Liu Hong is naturally extremely clear.

I have to say that Xue Pan has such a sister, and it is really a great blessing that the ancestral tomb is smoking.

"Alright, don't scratch it, since you're here, let's go and have a look. I'm also curious about what kind of woman she is, and she makes you fall in love with you like this. It's really unproductive, why should a husband have no wife......"

Liu Hong complained and complained, and he was still very concerned about his confidant's family affairs, otherwise he would not have matched him more than a dozen times in a year, although it didn't work out for various reasons.

……

The sudden visit of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince made Jia Cong mentally prepared.

"The fourth brother really came, I said that he would definitely be curious to come and take a look."

After several years of getting along, Jia Cong still knows His Royal Highness the Crown Prince very well. Aside from the unique maturity of the royal family, Liu Hong is a teenager, and his curiosity is not much less than that of ordinary young people.

Soon, two tables were set up in the small courtyard, Liu Hong, Jia Cong, Daiyu and a little girl sat on one table, each with a bowl of fragrant and refreshing tofu brain, digging and eating spoonful by spoonful, and eating Xue Pan and Yu Yao's melons by the way.

And Baochai went to the inner hall of the Yu family in person to meet Yu Yao's mother Song.

As for the little sister of the Yu family, Yu Ying, who was only five years old, blinked her big bright eyes, looking left and right at her brother and sister who suddenly appeared in her house.

My brothers and sisters are all so beautiful~

Liu Hong is also a good hand at raising children, and several younger siblings in his family basically grew up with him.

I saw that although Yu Ying's clothes were old and there were patches on them, they were also clean. And this little baby still has baby fat on her face, which shows that the housekeeper Yu Yao takes excellent care of her young sister and is a person who knows filial piety.

Xue Pan, this kid has a good vision, if this matter can be done, there will be no major problems in the Xue family's inner house.

When Baochai came to the front yard again, she quietly nodded to Daiyu.

Daiyu clapped her hands secretly: It's done!

The three of them secretly communicated for a short time, and soon, Liu Hong and Jia Cong, Daiyu, and Baochai left the Yu family, leaving only Xue Pan alone.

The four of them did not rush back, but went to Chongfu Temple again.

Although the vegetarian food of Chongfu Temple is not as famous as the vegetarian food of Dabao'en Temple, it also has a unique flavor.

The four of them are all acquaintances, and they don't shy away from it. sat directly in one place, while having lunch, while talking about Xue Pan's marriage.

"Xue Zanshan, what do you think of this Yu girl? Can it be a good match? ”

Baochai put down the chopsticks in his hand and nodded in response: "According to the observation of the minister, although Miss Yu is not good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she also has a unique talent. And his character is noble, and he has filial piety, and the minister thinks that this person is very compatible with my brother. ”

Liu Hong and the three of them glanced at each other, smiled and nodded.

Daiyu said: "I also think that this Miss Yu is good, and she and Sister Bao have similar personalities, and they are both people with strong personalities. ”

"It seems that Xue Pan's wish is coming true......"

Liu Hong remembered the anxious look of Xue Pan scratching his ears and cheeks before, and couldn't help laughing and said: "You don't know, Xue Pan accompanied me to visit the scenery of Chongfu Temple, scratching my ears and cheeks was not impatient, and I didn't have the heart to enjoy the rare leisure." He was worried that Xue Zanshan would not agree to this family matter, but now it seems that his vision is good, and Xue Zanshan's vision of seeing people is also good. ”

In fact, since he learned about Xue Pan's crush, he had already sent people to inquire from all aspects.

The ancestors of the Yu family, including Yu Yao's performance over the years, he inquired clearly.

How to say that Xue Pan is also his confidant, as a prince, he doesn't want any hidden dangers around him.

It can be said that he knows more about the Yu family and Yu Yao than Xue Pan.

Baochai said solemnly: "His Royal Highness praises falsely, and the minister just believes in his brother's vision...... My brother has never been so determined about one thing, he values the girl of the Yu family so much, and this girl Yu naturally has something special about her. When the minister saw it today, he finally understood that what my brother valued was Miss Yu's character, and it had nothing to do with her appearance! ”

In fact, Baochai didn't say a word, she was sure that what her brother Xue Pan valued was Yu Yao's filial piety to her parents and her character of treating her younger siblings well.

As for the appearance or something. It's just an addition.

After all, if the uncle of the Xue family wants a good-looking girl, there are more fat and thin people in Yanhuan in Jiangnan, is the Xue family short of silver?

And what Baochai is satisfied with is Yu Yao's character.

The talents of those so-called noble girls in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are not important at all in Baochai's eyes.

Liu Hong nodded, and he also agreed with Baochai's opinion on this point.

He untied the jade pendant hanging from his waist and handed it to Baochai.

"This piece of jade should be regarded as a congratulatory gift to the Xue family, and Xue Zanshan accepted it on your brother's behalf. When you go back to tell Mrs. Xue about this, you can use this jade to tell your mother what it means to be lonely, Xue Pan is Lonely's henchman, and he doesn't need to rely on the help of his wife, Lone is the biggest backer of the Xue family! ”

Liu Hong's attitude surprised Baochai, and he hurriedly got up and took it, and Ying Ying bowed: "Brother Xie His Royal Highness Longen!" ”

……

Jia Cong didn't know how Baochai and Mrs. Xue talked, but the Xue family quickly invited Mrs. Xing to be a Chinese and went to the Yu family in Xuannanfang to propose marriage to Xue Pan.

Xue Pan happily chartered the largest restaurant in Nanchifang City, hosted a banquet for colleagues and friends, and announced his family affairs.

The Xue and Yu families soon pushed forward the marriage, and the Yu family's small shop was still open, but the few military men who were worried about this "Tofu Xi Shi" did not appear near the small shop.

When Jia Cong went to the palace, he met Liu Hong several times and complained about Xue Pan, who forgot about him as a gentleman when he had a sweetheart, and he often couldn't find anyone in the past two days.

The two of them didn't have to guess to know where this guy had gone, after all, every time Xue Pan returned to the East Palace, he would carry several pieces of tofu in his hand, shouting that this was something his fiancée asked him to bring to the prince to try.

Xue Pan's family affairs are finalized, and Jia Cong can be regarded as missing a matter.

He ignored the grinning "Dumb Overlord" and Liu Hong buried in the official document on the first table.

Recently, there has been no major incident between the DPRK and China, and the measures of the new policy are steadily advancing.

Now the only headache for the two of them is the Wusizang mission that came to the capital from the plateau a few days ago.

The living Buddha of the national teacher of Wusizang came to the capital to take advantage of the threat brought by the Westerners to Great Xia, and wanted to prostitute a wave of the Celestial Empire's financial rewards.

After all, if Great Xia wants to win over Wu Sizang, how can he do it without some blood?

But when he met Jia Cong, not only did he not get a reward, but he was also severely reprimanded by the emperor.

After waiting for a response from the imperial court, the Ministry of Rites said this morning that he planned to go back.

The emperor didn't bother to pay attention to this trivial matter, so he threw the fold to his son, and the prince had full authority to dispose of it.

"Brother Cong, do you want to ...... it halfway? Lest the tiger return to the mountain! ”

Liu Hong's throat-cutting action fell into the eyes of the attendant on the side, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

The master was taken by Yongfeng Bo, how can he fight and kill at every turn!

Jia Cong shook his head: "It doesn't matter whether Ali Ma Bala is dead or alive, what we have to do now is to advance the movement to emancipate serfs." Fourth brother, this matter still has to rely on the Dragon Guards, please ask Cao Dudu to come over first, let's listen to his opinion. ”
