Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 570
Jia Min was extremely disturbed, but Lin Ruhai had no choice but to say this again, which was tantamount to riding a tiger.Is it really necessary to betroth Daiyu to Xue Hong?Is there any compromise?
"Master, this..."

Lin Ruhai patted Jia Min's shoulder comfortingly: "I'm going to discuss this matter with Xue's father and son now, and see if there can be a satisfactory solution to the matter."

Jia Min hurriedly said: "In that case, I'll follow along. Marriage is a matter of parents' fate, and now it is related to my Yu'er's life. Even if the master asks me to stay at home and wait, I can't wait." gone."

The husband and wife hurriedly got into the carriage and arrived at Xue's house in a short while.

The Xue family was very lively here, so a servant came to report: "If you go back to the master, Mr. Lin and his wife are here."

Xue Yi was taken aback: "Master Lin? It's sooner or later, isn't their family entertaining guests? If I remember correctly, tomorrow is the day to entertain their family. Why is it here?"

Xue Hong hurriedly said: "Maybe Mr. Lin is in a hurry. Father will go over and have a look first. Brother and I are here to deal with it. It's time for the banquet to be dismissed. It is expected that nothing will happen."

After hearing this, Xue Yi hurriedly withdrew from the banquet and went to the study to meet Lin Ruhai and Jia Min.

After about half a cup of tea, a servant next to Li Ruhai came over and called Xue Hong aside: "Second Master, the master told you to come over, saying that there is something urgent, so hurry up."

Xue Hong didn't even have time to say a word to Xue Pan, so she was dragged to Xue Yi's place. Seeing Xue Yi and Lin Ruhai's couple had extremely dignified expressions, Xue Hong wondered, "What's the matter? How could the atmosphere be like this?"

Xue Yi sighed and explained the reason for Lin Ruhai and his wife's visit, and now even Xue Hong's face became serious.

Although the people around him, even Baochai, have already been betrothed to others, but he always feels that talking about marriage is always far away from him.In fact, he had already made up his mind. Even if Xue Yi arranged some kind of marriage for him, if the woman he liked was not the woman he liked, he could use the excuse of "not marrying a wife if you are not successful" and it would be fine to marry later.Anyway, he doesn't think it's a good thing to get married and become someone's husband in his teens. Civilized society advocates late marriage and late childbearing. Marriage will be given the color of intertwined interests, and he still has a struggle in his heart.

But now...

To be wrong, it is not a big mistake for Lin Ruhai to say anything unscrupulously in order to protect his daughter in that situation.But you said that it is not good to promise to whom, why do you say that it was promised to me?Could it be that you have a good impression of me on weekdays, and you have long thought of marrying your daughter to me?Hello, isn't it?If you dare to say it, I can't believe it. Who doesn't know that your Lin family has been a nobleman for several generations, and your eyes have grown to the top of your head. How can you look up to the Xue family who have been in business for generations?

"Lin...uncle Lin, this...you are just trying to prevaricate the emperor, isn't it true?"

After hearing this, Lin Ruhai raised his eyebrows and said: "What? You look unhappy, can it be that my Yu'er is not good enough for you?"

Xue Hong waved her hands again and again: "No, no, no, I didn't mean that, Uncle Lin, don't get me wrong. Let me say something that doesn't worry you, it's impossible for the emperor not to think about it for his son, for a noble daughter like Qianjin. , even if the object is not the prince, it is the royal family who did not run away. Even if you said that you betrothed your daughter to me, if the emperor comes down with an imperial decree, don't say that you are not married or have no ceremony, even if you have changed the wedding invitation, just I'm afraid I won't be able to win over the emperor, it's not like this has never happened before. I'm afraid that I won't be able to win over the emperor after all."

"..."

Lin Ruhai was silent for a while: "Seeing my answer like this, the emperor naturally knows that I don't want to. The matter of children is not sweet. Although the royal family of this dynasty has a precedent of ordering engaged women to marry separately, that is not the case. It was in the early years that he could not find a suitable woman to make a marriage. Nowadays, the surroundings are peaceful, and there is no need for a woman to marry, and the emperor chooses a side Fujin for his son. Naturally, he can't do persecution. It’s about the marriage of the married woman. Isn’t he afraid of the pen in the historian’s hand?”

Xue Hong listened, and nodded: "That's true. But... Hong'er always feels that it is too early to get married now. Although I have a reputation for educating people, I am still young, and I still want to pass the imperial examination in the future." Let’s try again during the exam. To tell you the truth, I have already made up my mind to marry a wife, but now that the incident happened suddenly, if Uncle Lin doesn’t dislike my background as a businessman from the Xue family, I am very willing to replace the Lin family. Relief. But, I never meant Miss Xiao to miss Lin. Now, in order to avoid the sharp edge, Uncle Lin has no choice but to say that she betrothed Miss Lin to me. If the limelight passes, the emperor will not persecute Uncle Lin anymore. My uncle went to choose a good match for Miss Lin, and he just casually said that I, Xue Hong, made a mistake, and that's all he wanted to do, and Xue Hong would never say anything else."

"Hong'er!"

When Xue Hong said this, Xue Yi was not happy to hear it.Why should his good son suffer the humiliation of retiring because of Lin Ruhai's words?
Xue Yi became unhappy, and said seriously: "Master Lin, this matter has nothing to do with our Xue family from the beginning to the end. It was you who said in front of the emperor that you betrothed your daughter to my Xue family. It stands to reason that a man is a real man. , if you say it, you have to admit it, you should really send your daughter to our Xue family in eight-carried sedan chairs, if you don’t, it’s a crime of deceiving the emperor. The reason for marrying a wife is that our Xue family temple is too small to afford the big Buddha of Miss Lin. It’s not that I don’t believe in the family tradition of the Lin family, it’s just that the family backgrounds of our Xue and Lin families are very different. "If Miss Lin refuses to be disciplined and listens to her parents-in-law and her husband after passing through the door, we may not even be able to say a word about her family background. Our Xue family doesn't want to cause such trouble. Hong'er just said that we can't do it." Lord, I'm his father, and it's not my turn to worry about his marriage. If you say you're going to retire or not, don't tell me your daughter doesn't want to marry into the royal family, and my son will suffer the humiliation of quitting because of your words ? At that time, your daughter will be able to live lightly, and she can marry whomever she wants. On the contrary, I, Hong'er, will be scandalized for no reason. Who else is willing to marry their daughter to him? I don't agree, I can't just watch My son has ruined his lifelong happiness!"
