Mrs. Xue was also happy to see the note that Shen’s family handed back, and she clapped her hands and sighed when she and her daughter-in-law were sitting and grinding their teeth: “Earlier, when Sister Bao was young, a monk and Taoist priest came to teach us to make a golden lock with her, and said that we must Only a brother with jade is worthy of it. Sure enough, today, the name of the brother of the Shen family does not have the word jade in it. I thought it was the youngest son of my Jia family's second-bedroom sister's family, so I was bored in vain. For a while. In terms of the children's own personalities and talents, this Shen family brother is now a third-rank official. Regardless of how much lower the military officer is than the other ones, he is still better than the one who has not played. "Xu Ying has a better understanding than her: "This man has to live in the world, after all he has to be willing to make progress. I think that the elder brother of the Shen family is better than the sons of the noble families in Beijing. He has his own ability, which is better than that of his ancestors." If you want, how do you know that in the future you will not be able to earn the royal order of the Duke with Sister Bao?"

The little old lady smiled and narrowed her eyes when she heard this, and hurriedly sent her servants to make some snacks and send them to Shen's house as a gift.Now that Xiaoding is over, there is finally no need to worry about Baochai's marriage, and there is no rush for Xue Tiaobaoqin to be the only one left in the family.

Suddenly one day, Mrs. Xia, who is also an imperial businessman, sent a post to come to visit. At that time, Mrs. Xue was sending a new order on behalf of the family to bring all kinds of festive satin from the south to choose wedding dress materials for her daughter. After receiving the post, she called her mother-in-law. The son prepares the place.After noon, Mrs. Xia came to the door with her daughter Xia Jingui and another wife from the Imperial Merchant.When the housekeeper delivered the posts to the main courtyard, Baochai was flirting with Baoqin. Now that they heard that it was Xia's family, they hurriedly invited Su Momo and Li Momo to accompany them, and they brought their own Bailing followed his mother to meet the guests.It's not that I'm afraid of the Xia family, it's that their family's education is a little lower than others, Baochai is afraid that if someone comes to the door with a request and says it doesn't fit, there will be an accident, anyway, you can't figure out what harm the Xia family has done, be careful You can never be too cautious.

As far as Xia Jingui is concerned, it is indeed a top-notch appearance in an ordinary family, but it is a pity that it is still slightly inferior to the girls from Jia Shixue Wang's four families.In addition, he was never properly brought up since he was a child, and he is an illiterate, ignorant, unruly and self-willed master. In terms of temperament, he is half a capital away from Baochai and Daiyu.In her previous life, when she married Xue Pan, she made trouble out of nothing just to get along with her eldest sister Baochai, and made troubles to her death. She even forcibly changed her name, which shows her bad character.Later, he even managed to prescribe medicine to the mother-in-law and the concubines in the house, which can only be described as unreasonable.

Now she followed her mother to Xue's house as a guest, and when she looked up, she saw a snow puppet-like, rare and beautiful girl standing behind Mrs. Xue, feeling jealous and hated when she felt ashamed.Later, I heard that the eldest daughter of the Xue family said that she had married a young military officer from the third rank, and it was as unbearable as pouring a pot of boiling oil on her chest.In the past, Xia Jingui had a high opinion of herself, and even the sweet-scented osmanthus grown at home had to be called "Chang'e tree", and she often compared herself to Chang'e, but now she finds that people have changed from Chang'e to toads and toads under the roots of the tree. In time, my lungs were about to explode.

Mrs. Xia doesn't know what's going on in her daughter's heart at this moment, the imperial merchants of their family are different from Xue's family, they only pay tribute to the above-mentioned seedlings and flowers, and they only do business for merchants.Regardless of the housewife, she is really good at doing business, has a good eye, and is quick to start. After hearing the housekeeper mention Xue Biao, I kept it in my heart. I was afraid that this good son-in-law would be preempted by others. He brought his daughter directly to the door.

This is the kind of family who don't pay much attention to, only wanting what they want, and don't remember whether others want it or not until the child's face is taken care of.Mrs. Xia calculated that even if the Xue family didn't want to, just spread the news of the marriage between the two families first, and naturally no one else would come to talk to him about other marriages. .Besides, Xue Biao was not born by Mrs. Xue, but actually her nephew from the next house, and her own daughter was born with a beautiful face, so as long as she wins over this younger child, Mrs. Xue, as an aunt, will have nothing to say.

It so happened that Xue Pan took Xuying out that day, and before Xue Biao came back from the north, Mrs. Xue and Baochai and Baoqin's mother were the only ones at home. No wonder Baochai responded like an enemy.

Mrs. Xia is very shrewd and capable just by looking at her face, but she doesn't repeat her compliments when she enters the door.First he praised Xue's house, then he smashed the flowers and trees planted by Shezan's house, and then he praised Miss Xue, and then he talked to his own daughter: "Our sister's fate is very good. She always dreamed that golden leaves grew on the osmanthus tree, and when she landed at home, she got the title of imperial merchant. It was more difficult for her father to go to the family in the past few years. You can count on the name. Although I dare not compare with Miss Xue, the other girls are not as good."

At first, Mrs. Xue didn't understand what she meant, she just nodded and praised the child, and then she felt that something was wrong, she immediately turned her face and sat down with a smile, refusing to say anything more.Mrs. Xia talked to herself for a while, and if no one made a fuss, it was boring, so she looked at the accompanying guest with a wink.The lady who accompanied her was also the mistress of the Imperial Merchant, but her business plate was inferior, so at this time she had to smile and come over to take the stage with her.Mrs. Xue got impatient with them, asked the servant girl to exchange hot tea before she opened her mouth and said, "Miss Xia is naturally very good. There is an old saying that there are no ugly girls under twenty. She is as fresh and tender as green onions. I like it. Unlike us, the older one stays silent all day and the younger one chatters non-stop. Regardless of the eldest son, only the second son of the uncle’s family will go to the temple to give a gift to his elder brother when he gets married this year. After all, the master said that he has violated the Tai Sui these few years, and he is not called a marriage, so I am really worried." As soon as he said this, he didn't want to.

Now Mrs. Xue is different from her previous life, and she looks down on people like the Xia family.In his previous life, Xue Pan's reputation in the capital was rotten, not to mention girls from official families, even girls from ordinary families with good nationality would be like a beast avoiding a flood when they saw him.At that time, the Xia family was thinking about stealing the Xue family's wealth, and the Xue family was also thinking about the disappearance of the Xia family. After two times, they all got together and became in-laws.Now my son Xue Pan is married to a girl from the Hou family, and his daughter has also talked about the official marriage. Even if the first two are not biological, they must not be wronged. How can they take the Xia family into their eyes?Only a girl with a decent background and a straight face is willing to agree.

Mrs. Xia still had a smile on her face, she took this note unexpectedly, she didn't smile or didn't smile, the expression seemed to be hard-pressed on her face, she barely covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed twice.Seeing the guest, the accompanying guest hurriedly picked up the new material of the season and diverted the conversation, and finally it didn't make Mrs. Xia's face completely fall to the ground and she couldn't pick it up.Sitting behind her mother, Xia Jingui felt even more ashamed. She was always inferior to the eldest daughter of the Xue family and felt depressed. Now that she wanted to talk about marriage with his family but was blocked by others, her face turned a little pale.Mrs. Xue didn't bother with the little girl, she just ordered the housekeeper to prepare the satin and send it to her.Seeing this, Mrs. Xia couldn't sit still any longer, so she reluctantly resigned and went back with her daughter and accompanying guests.

When going out, Baochai took the time to tell the housekeeper, and ordered a woman to hold the satin cloth outside and send Xia's family out of the alley, so that in case of any accident in the future, there will be talk.Mrs. Xia never expected that the Xue family would be so bad at doing things, she didn't take advantage of the slightest opportunity, so she had no choice but to grind her teeth and tell the coachman to leave quickly, and she didn't want to come to this shameful place again.Xia Jingui complained to her mother while sitting in the car: "That Xue scorpion is very good, but he is doing business with his uncle's house to make a living, and he also assigns his sister to others. There are aunts, sister-in-laws and aunts on the board. Look at each other. Go up with a sly face, and don’t want to.” Mrs. Xia scolded her for being stupid: “Then Xue Pan, everyone in the market knows that he is a worthless person who can’t do business, and Miss Xue is about to go out. Get married too, let's see who in the Xue family has the right words? This Xue Biao's parents are dead, and when you go through the door, this five-entry mansion has a business, and there are countless good jewelry in the library. All the ingredients are yours. Why don’t you use the hot energy in the family just now? What this kind of family wants most is a wife who can support, what a delicate lady!” Xia Jingui pouted and talked with her mother. Facing the noise: "When you went out, didn't you tell me to restrain myself and pretend to be virtuous and generous? Now it's on my head again." The two mothers complained non-stop, and they were unwilling to do so.

Mrs. Xue sent Mrs. Xia and her party out, and hurried back to change into light clothes. She also asked the maid to wring the handkerchief and wipe her face. It’s not straight, you have to twist your waist, and you’re not afraid of flashing it, who will show it to you! I hate girls who are crazy about standing and sitting, no matter how much they teach, they can’t learn to be a quiet person Son. If you tell Brother Tada about such a daughter-in-law, you will have to be poked by your relatives when you go out." Baochai felt confident when she heard her mother say this, and shook her head lightly, saying: "This girl from the Xia family I have an aggressive spirit in my body, so I'm afraid that I didn't follow the right person. If she is called the head of the family, she may not be able to boost the family business, but it is not suitable for our family. Now we are the first in the imperial business circle, and everything is safe. But, there is no need to ask for a fortune."

Mrs. Xue handed the handkerchief to the servant girl, turned around and patted her hand and said, "My son, I am just as you think, and the best thing is for the whole family to be safe. But today, I am looking forward to seeing the Xia family from the top." If you don’t, you’re still willing to say a few good words to her. You don’t need to have more contact with her family in the future, and a widow with a daughter will talk about the good life of a girl without being afraid of panic!” As he spoke, he put the Xia family out of his mind and stopped thinking about it.

But in the end someone came to talk to Xue Biao about marriage, Mrs. Xue still put it in her heart, the child is not in front of her for the time being, so she had to go to Baoqin to ask first.After hearing this, Baoqin pursed her lips and said with a smile: "When we were in Suzhou in the past, we met a girl by chance at the Panxiang Temple in Xuantou. Her family seemed to be surnamed Xing. She rented a house in the temple to make a living. My brother often talked about She probably also likes the kind of transparent and intelligent people. It's funny to say that this Miss Xing happens to be the niece of the wife's niece of the eldest wife of Rongfu Dongyuan. The courtyard." Mrs. Xue was overjoyed when she heard her say this, since Xue Biao had a girl in his heart, he had to ask him to fulfill his wish before he could come up with a good pair.

Immediately, I wrote a letter with my elder sister and asked my daughter-in-law to bring a box of fruit to ask her to settle down.The mother-in-law happily carried the letter in the box, and Mrs. Wang happened to be busy preparing for her mother-in-law's [-]th birthday at home. She was very happy when she received the letter from her younger sister, so she stuffed it into her sleeve and took it with her to see Mrs. Jia.

At this time, Tanchun Xichun was sitting in front of Jia Mu to make fun of her, and Du Baoyu was rolling in the old lady's arms, rubbing her hands like twisting candy, wanting to go out and play.Mother Jia put one hand on her head and wiped her grandson's sweat, and rubbed her back with the other to coax him, saying: "The sun is hot outside now, it hurts to go out carefully, and call out when the sun is gone, don't make trouble. " Just as he was talking, the servant girl informed Mrs. Wang that she was coming, and Baoyu really didn't dare to act wild and sat down obediently.Then Mrs. Jia smiled and said to Mrs. Wang who had just come in: "Sure enough, the son listens to his mother, and he will be honest as soon as he says you are here." It is because this child is related to his ancestors that he is like this, and he would not dare to borrow his courage in front of his father." Jia Mu smiled and asked her: "Is there something in the family that asks you to come here?"

Mrs. Wang took out the letter written by Mrs. Xue in her sleeve and presented it to Jia Mu: "My aunt has something good to think about our relatives' family. Since her big girl got a small contract, she has become more and more leisurely. Now she wants to serve her husband's family." Uncle and nephew say they are relatives, and they say they have taken a fancy to Miss Xing from the big house." At this point, Tanchun Xichun looked at each other and got up to leave. Mrs. Wang watched the two of them go out, and asked Yuanyang to take Baoyu out. After playing, I continued to say: "I thought, that's fine. Miss Xing lives in our house for some reason, and it's nothing more than an extra bowl of food for us, but it's not right after all. I'm afraid What is the statute for the girl when she grows up, and there is no way to arrange her, and she is fostered by relatives, I am afraid that she herself is uneasy. Now talking about this relationship, at least she will have a place to go." Mother Jia rushed behind and beat her shoulder. Amber raised her chin, and the maid hurriedly put the beauty fist on the tray on the square table, held her breath and lowered her eyebrows, walked down to take the letter from Mrs. Wang, turned around and read it with Jia Mu.

Old lady Jia first listened to her reading, and then she asked someone to fetch the crystal glasses and put them on to read, then put down the letter paper and asked the eldest maid Suyun to go to the east courtyard to invite the elder.Jia Amnesty was holding the newly bought concubine Ji in the yard, listening to Qu'er and eating wine, when he heard that his mother was calling for someone, he probably rinsed his mouth and changed into crooked clothes, then followed.The maidservants around Jia Mu usually avoid Jia She, for fear that if they get caught, they will be sent to the East Courtyard to suffer a living crime.Now that Suyun was ordered to come over, he had no choice but to shrug his shoulders and lower his head, his forehead and hair just covered his small face tightly.Jia Amnesty didn't like this kind of unattractive girl, so she let out a cold snort and finally let her go.

When the two arrived at Jiamu's main courtyard one after the other, the old lady gave him the letter from Xue's family, took off her glasses and said, "Your careless daughter-in-law has also been locked up and taught for a long time. Will she succeed in the end?" What? I thought that since the aunt and wife of relatives are interested in her niece, I might as well show my aunt and let her out to have a look. One thing is worse than one thing less, such big relatives and girls don’t know that it’s not beautiful to stay at home after all, it’s better to send out early.”

Jia She went through the letter in a daze, and nodded in agreement.He had taken a fancy to Xue Biao at first, but he couldn't find a reason to talk about it. Now that the Xue family just came up, he saved a lot of thought, and immediately said with his tongue: "I think it's very good. Then the Xing family is not a big deal. What an amazing family, marrying the girl to the second wife of Xue's family counts them as high-ranking, so as to get rid of this family, I don't bother to send them away." The old lady Jia became angry when she heard him talking, and waved him out Chau: "Why do you drink like this again in the blue sky and white sun? You don't know how to take care of yourself at your age, and you just mess around with those dubious things. Let's see what happens to you!" Holding his breath, he cursed and turned back He called out to his son again: "Miss Xing, don't treat her badly, ask your wife to make some dowry with her, the old rule is five thousand silver in the box, just send it out like an ordinary girl in our family, and it doesn't look biased. I will reward her with two sets of jewelry and a few pieces of material, and you can figure out the rest. The concubine's family will not care about these things."

Jia Shegong bowed his hands in response, turned around and walked out, went back to the east courtyard and explained to the wives, he didn't even see Madam Xing, and continued to go to the banquet to have fun with his little wife.

Seeing his tired and lazy look, Mrs. Jia became angry again, and she only complained to Mrs. Wang: "People outside always say that I am biased, but I gave birth to both children. Why should I be biased? Only the boss The most abominable thing is that it’s like mud and can’t be pasted on the wall. It’s just not listening to what I’ve said over and over again. I’m really mad at me. The family business rests on the shoulders of such children and grandchildren, and the ancestors can’t sleep well!” Mrs. Wang was so frightened. He bowed his head, stood up and stood by the side, and waited for the old lady to chatter enough before sitting down again.Mother Jia saw that her daughter-in-law was so stupid that she didn't know how to persuade her, so she sighed and said, "go ahead, tell the auntie that we will agree to this marriage. It's been a long time since we've been going back and forth, maybe these relatives will be of great use in the future. By the way, Bao Sister is talking about the great-grandson of the old Shen Xiang’s family earlier? Remember to remind me to put on makeup with her when the time comes. This is also a pity, after all, I have decided to be a martial artist, and I don’t know what the future will be.” Said with his eyelids slightly closed, as if Go to sleep.

Mrs. Wang saw that she was short of energy, so she had to bless Fu and leave. When she returned to Rongxi Hall, she called the girl over and asked them to write a reply letter to Xue's family according to what she said.
