The son of the red mansion is unscrupulous

Ping'er nodded again and again, and also felt that Wang Xifeng's sentence "I would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail" was very reasonable, because I took some money from Wang Xifeng and bought the servant at the corner gate while it was dark, and went there Go down to the crowd room and ask her brother to go to Rongguo Mansion.

Today is different, now the Ping'er brothers wandered around the back door of Jia's house for a long time, and finally met a slightly familiar person, but that person didn't dare to lead him directly into the mansion, so he could only go to the front door in a serious manner to ask someone to pass him on.

The people at the door heard that they belonged to the Wang family, and they didn't have a message from the master or wife, so they refused to pass it on. Brother Ping'er begged repeatedly, and then went to find Zhao Tianliang.

Zhao Tianliang went to see Brother Ping'er, asked a few words, and learned that it was about Wang Xifeng, so he told Jia Lian as a joke, and after Jia Lian nodded, he led Brother Ping'er to see Jia's mother.

After hearing about Wang Xifeng's thoughts, Jia's mother sighed in her heart. Leaving aside the aggression of the Wang family, Wang Xifeng's current situation was partly due to her, so she agreed wholeheartedly.

Brother Ping'er thanked Jia Mu, and hurried back to tell Wang Xifeng the news.

Letters from Mrs. Wang Ziteng and Jia Mu were sent to Aunt Xue in Jinling successively. The two things in these two letters are very good things for Aunt Xue.

Xue Baochai also understands that the Xue family is different today, even though they have some wealth, it is difficult for Xue Pan to find a decent official daughter to marry him, and he also feels that Wang Xifeng is smart and capable, restraining Xue Pan in the future, and can revive the Xue family's family business, so he repeatedly told Xue Pan My aunt said congratulations.

Xue Pan thought of Wang Xifeng's beautiful appearance and slender figure, and liked him very much. He felt that it was God's blessing that a person who was unimaginable in the past fell in love with him, but he couldn't help but asked worriedly: "Uncle, will you?"

Aunt Xue knew that Wang Xifeng was marrying into Xue's family, so she was a little hesitant, fearing that Wang Ziteng's rejection would make her look ugly; then she felt that Wang's daughter's reputation was affected by Jia's mother, and other good families might not be willing to take her. When their family went to ask, it was also a big favor for the prince.The rest is fine, the most important thing is, Wang Xifeng has a shameful appearance and a thunderous fierceness inside. If she can restrain Xue Pan, isn't it better than anything else?So he tentatively asked the pair of children: "Why don't you send a letter to ask your uncle what he means?"

Xue Baochai shook her head, "This letter was sent by the old lady of the Jia family at the request of Sister Feng. Sister Feng must have kept it from Uncle. Why don't we go to the capital and ask Mother to tell Uncle face to face, promise a betrothal gift, and Brother will send it to you again?" After kneeling down and begging for a while, so Uncle couldn't bear it and agreed. If it's a letter, if Uncle reads the letter and becomes suspicious and asks Sister Feng, wouldn't it be embarrassing for her?"

"After all, you are more careful." Aunt Xue nodded, since she wanted to call Wang Xifeng into the door, how could she not cherish her reputation.

After discussing with the three of them, the mother and son packed up their luggage in an orderly manner, arranged for servants to guard the Jinling house, sent people to Beijing to clean the courtyard in the capital, and cleaned up the Jinling shop before the family went to the capital.

After entering the capital, he first lived in his own house and sent someone to deliver a letter to the Wang family.A day later, Xue Pan was wearing a red gold crown, purple and gold arrow sleeves, water green damask trousers, and a pair of small soap-colored court boots with a foundation, looking heroic.

When Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai saw each other, they thought that Wang Ziteng would not be able to find fault when he saw Xue Pan, so they asked people to bring extra gifts and rituals, and the family of three went to Wang's house in sedan chairs.

After entering the gate of Wangjiayi, Mrs. Wang Xifeng and Mrs. Wang Zisheng led sister Wang Xifeng and newcomer Chu Ruhui to pick her up. Mrs. Wang Ziteng saw that Xue Baochai's face was like a silver basin, his eyes were like apricots, and his lips were red without spots. Her eyebrows were not drawn but green, and she thought to herself that maybe this person will be very lucky in the future, so she took her hand affectionately and said: "The nuns have been waiting at home a few months ago, and the niece will follow her later." I'll see you."

Seeing her aunt being so enthusiastic, Xue Baochai felt hopeful that she would enter the palace, with only a slight smile on her face but full of ambition in her heart. Seeing Wang Xifeng in a red dress warmly supporting Aunt Xue, she felt more and more that it was a good thing for Xue Wang's family to get married, so she went again Seeing Wang Ren's wife, Chu Ruhui, who is new to the door, and seeing that she is dressed in simple and generous clothes, she is as light as a chrysanthemum, and she is not blindly extravagant and flamboyant just because she married into the Wang family, so she feels that Chu Ruhui is worth dating.

The whole family came into the house affectionately. When Aunt Xue saw Xue Pan looking at Wang Xifeng, her eyes were straightened. She was afraid that he would be rude to Wang Xifeng. She coughed and said with a smile: "I will take their sisters to talk to my brother. In a word, I haven't seen my brother for a long time, and I miss him very much."

Mrs. Wang Ziteng nodded, and also noticed that Xue Pan didn't dare to look at Wang Xifeng in the past, but now she secretly looked at her every now and then, but Wang Xifeng, who had always been arrogant and arrogant, had always pretended to be docile and gentle at this time. Just pretending not to see, nodded and smiled: "Master is waiting for my sister's niece and niece in the inner study, you go ahead."

Aunt Xue smiled and led Xue Pan and Xue Baochai to Wang Ziteng's study. Although it was inconvenient to give instructions because they were on the road to Wang's house, she also told Xue Pan to be more honest with her eyes.

As soon as she entered the inner study, she saw Wang Ziteng sitting upright behind the desk in the west room waiting. Xue Baochai thought suspiciously: she also went to Beijing in the past. Although she didn't remember much, she never heard her mother mention that her uncle had Waiting so solemnly, could it be that uncle also intends to promise Wang Xifeng to her brother?

"I've seen uncle." Xue Pan, Xue Baochai, brothers and sisters knelt on the futon and kowtowed to Prince Teng when the maid came over.

Wang Ziteng called them up again and again, stroked his beard and said gratifiedly: "My brother-in-law passed away a few years ago, I don't want my sister to raise a pair of nieces and nieces. Seeing that Pan'er and Baochai are all promising in the future, my brother-in-law is in the spring If you know, you can rest in peace."

When Aunt Xue heard her brother mentioning her deceased husband, her eyes were red and she choked up, and she said, "It's also thanks to my brother's help, otherwise how would I have survived till now?"

Wang Ziteng hurriedly ordered the three members of the Xue family to sit down beside him, looked at Xue Baochai again and again, saw that she was calm and calm at any time, and her demeanor was far from that of ordinary women. Not even half as good as her."

Aunt Xue said with a smile: "She is a child's family, how can she not resist boasting, but she is a little quieter." After narrating a few homely things, thanking Wang Ziteng for finding a nanny for Xue's family, she said to Xue Baochai: "Miss Go talk to your aunts and nuns first, and I'll come later."

Xue Baochai agreed, got up and gave Prince Teng a blessing, and then retreated.

Wang Ziteng wondered, wondering what Aunt Xue had to say to dismiss Xue Baochai?

Aunt Xue waited for Xue Baochai to leave, she sat on a chair in embarrassment and said, "Young girl Feng came to Beijing last time. I don't know how many catties and taels I have. When I saw Miss Feng, I immediately missed it. I have been told many times, lest my brother might look down on him, so I have no face to speak. Now I heard that Feng girl and Jia's affairs are not going to work, so I dare to say such a sentence."

Wang Ziteng was startled, and he pursed his lips tightly without saying a word. He first thought that Xue Pan was a toad who wanted to eat swan meat. After all, the current Xue family is very different from when Aunt Xue married in. It would be too much for Wang Xifeng to marry in. Qu Cai; but other families really couldn't find a suitable one; although he was determined to get Wang Xifeng to enter the palace, the palace is not so easy to marry, even he can't even look down on those down-and-out royal families who are willing to marry Wang Xifeng's dowry "Since the Xue family is willing to marry, then there is no fear of the Xue family being won over by the Rongguo Mansion. There are still three thousand nails on the broken boat. Although the Xue family is different from the past, the family is still quite rich, and there is another one who has both talents and virtues. There will be a sister-in-law with great fortune in the future, so it is not wronged Wang Xifeng.So he thought it over and over again, and he agreed in his heart, but he was afraid that Wang Xifeng would be dissatisfied and make some remarks that would make him look bad, so he asked someone to go to Wang Xifeng's place to knock on the sidelines, and when Wang Xifeng said that everything was up to him, he decided to do it. Immediately agreed.

Aunt Xue was full of joy, and Xue Pan was even more elated.

Wang Ziteng had to reprimand Xue Pan by saying a few words about changing his past after getting engaged, and then said: "You also know what happened between Feng girl and the Jia family, those are all bad things done by the old lady and the second wife of the Jia family. , has nothing to do with Feng girl."

Aunt Xue quickly agreed: "Brother, don't worry, the family is flesh and blood. Could it be that we will look down on Feng girl? Pan'er has been aggrieved by Feng girl along the way. I also hope that Feng girl will help me manage the house and help Pan'er in the future." Do business decently."

After Wang Ziteng sighed heavily, he told how the Jia family broke their promises, and even the Xu family.

Aunt Xue was a little embarrassed, only then did she realize that after marrying the Wang family, the relationship between Xue Pan and Xu Yuhang could only be weakened. After weighing the pros and cons, she didn't feel that there was anything important about Xu Yuhang and Jia Lian.Knowing that Xue Pan valued loyalty, he was afraid that he would contradict Wang Ziteng, so he hurriedly said with a smile: "Madam Feng is not an ordinary woman, so naturally her dowry should be more."

When Wang Ziteng heard this, he felt more and more that the marriage was well done, so he said: "Discuss with your sister-in-law about hiring a matchmaker to match the horoscope. Girl Feng's parents died young, and we are uncles and aunts. We must not treat her badly." It is."

Aunt Xue heard that Wang Ziteng wanted to make a big fuss about Wang Xifeng's marriage, and she quickly agreed because she favored Wang Xifeng. Then she saw that Prince Zhongyi's mansion had sent a long history to lead Xue Pan out, and met Wang Ren outside the door. Ask Xue Pan to go around the capital with Wang Ren, and talk to Mrs. Wang Ziteng by himself.

Xue Panru was in a dream. For a long time, he couldn't believe that he could marry Wang Xifeng. After leaving Wang Ziteng's study, he dreamed of the gods and couples after marriage. Hearing Wang Ren yelling for him to buy wine, he said boldly: "Uncle wants to drink, what's the trouble? I'll take Uncle to eat in my own restaurant."

Wang Ren was very happy when he heard this, and immediately embraced Xue Pan and called his brother-in-law affectionately. He didn't know that Wang Xifeng had already taken precautions against him because of his previous slip of the tongue. Self is inexhaustible.

After the two got out of Wang's house and got on their horses, they walked for a quarter of an hour and arrived at Xue's restaurant on the West Street of Gulou.

Xue Pannahan got up, entered his restaurant and asked, "Who owns the restaurant next door? Why are there so many people?"

Seeing the owner coming, the person in charge rushed to bow to him, and then said a little sourly: "That was originally the chief executive of the Jia family, and the second master of the Jia family even robbed the servants' wealth! Now the second master Lian has taken over, I don't know. How did you come up with a room full of Western guys' objects, so that those with shallow eyes will come to join in the fun."

"What kind of Western objects?" Wang Ren heard that it was Jia Lian's restaurant, so he wanted to go there to make trouble.

Xue Pan recently took care of some business—although he caused a lot of trouble for the guys, but at least he took care of it. After hearing what the shopkeeper said, he felt that the prices of those foreign goods were high, and ordinary people had one or two. It's very respectable, if you take it out and use it in the restaurant, you'll have to look at it, and turn out with Wang Ren to the next door. Although you didn't see any foreign goods after entering the door, there are a few words on the sign posted all around. Even he was intimidated by the fancy foreign language. He couldn't help feeling that this restaurant was not for ordinary people to enter. A handsome young man in a vermilion shirt with a big red mop on his forehead.

The young man turned his head and said to the people upstairs as he went downstairs: "Is this okay? Brother Zhu is weak, how can he bear this? His life will be ruined there, and he must tell Second Brother Lian as soon as possible. "While speaking, he has already stepped out of the restaurant.

It was fine that Xue Pan didn't listen to this, but when he did, he immediately left Wang Ren behind and quickly followed the handsome young man, grabbed his sleeve and asked, "But something happened to my big brother Zhu?"

That man was Feng Ziying, who had a good friendship with Jia Lian. Although Feng Ziying didn't recognize Xue Pan, but he heard that he was very close to Jia Lian in his words, so he walked out and said, "I won't be able to tell for a while. I'll go to Rongguo Mansion to talk to Lian's second brother."

"Hey—" Xue Pan just agreed, when Wang Ren grabbed his arm.

"Brother-in-law, have you forgotten that our family has an enmity with the Jia family?" Wang Ren raised his eyebrows and stared at Xue Pan, thinking that this man is really a fool. up.

Xue Pan was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that this marriage was not perfect, sighed heavily, and could only watch Feng Ziying gallop away on horseback.
