[Red Mansion + Martial Arts] The Virgin Strikes

"Master, do you mean that he found out we were acting?" Lai Wang stared round, why didn't he notice, he still thought he acted pretty well, didn't expect it, didn't expect it. "Master, the character surnamed Li is so treacherous, do we have to find someone else for the eldest girl?"

"No, I'll choose him." Smart people are easy to handle, smart people know current affairs, and smart people know how to assess the situation.Baochai is smart, she will never look at someone who is stupid than her, and someone like Li Qing might be her good match.The everything system has the final say, let Li Qing and Baochai meet, if the system doesn't approve, it's not too late to find them again.

"I think Mr. Li is also very good. He looks handsome and has a gentle temper. Uh... In addition to being too smart, his family is a little too poor." Life is not as moist as that of the Xue family boy .

"Poverty is not a problem. Our Xue family is not short of money." One should not only focus on the present, but also focus on the future. This Li Qing is Baochai's future.

When he got home, Qian Xiaoqiao told Aunt Xue the result of his meeting.After Aunt Xue heard about it, she didn't care about Li Qing's appearance and character, but thought that his family was poor and his background was poor. Her thoughts were similar to Laiwang's.

"Although he is now a fifth-rank Hanlin, he will definitely be promoted in the future. There is a saying in the court recently: "Non-jinshi does not enter the Hanlin, and non-Hanlin does not enter the cabinet." The prosperity of the Hanlin Academy in this dynasty is unique. Most of the above-mentioned officials are from the Hanlin Academy, and the emperor has gradually begun to pay attention to the talents who have passed the imperial examination. As for these aristocratic families, corruption has been going on for a long time, and sooner or later they will become a thorn in the emperor's eyes."

"Pan'er, you mean someone like Rong Mansion would—"

"Well," Qian Xiaoqiao looked at Aunt Xue indifferently, "It's a pity that they don't know they are in the tiger's den."

Aunt Xue was extremely shocked, and became frightened after hearing what her son said. She was also from a big family, his brother, sister... God, fortunately, there is someone in the family who can understand the matter, otherwise the future of the Xue family would be nothing. future.

"I'm old, and I'm still a woman. I can't understand many things. I don't have the sharpness of your youth. From now on, you will be the master of everything in the family. Your sister and I will trust you."

Seeing Aunt Xue sighing, Qian Xiaoqiao didn't know what to persuade, but luckily let her reflect.It is a good thing that Aunt Xue is willing to delegate power, but she will no longer be entangled in the marriage between Baochai and his sister's son Baoyu.

It is better to hit the sun than to choose the day. On the second day, Qian Xiaoqiao invited Li Qing and his younger brother Li Yuan to Lixiangyuan for a walk.

Li Qing's birthday just passed the month before last, and the marriage has not yet been decided. On the one hand, it is because there are no elders in the family to make arrangements for him.So when Li Qing came to the school for the first time, Qian Xiaoqiao was not in a hurry to let Baochai meet him, but asked Li Yuan, who was only seven years old, to meet Baochai and told them to cultivate their relationship first.Baochai is the most open-minded and calm person, able to please others, and even children. She and Li Yuan did not get along for a long time, and she amused this child a lot.When Li Yuan was about to leave, he was very reluctant to part with Baochai, and kept talking to Sister Baochai.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Qian Xiaoqiao ordered someone to set up a carriage, and brought some gifts to send his brother surnamed Li back home.

"Sister Bao is really a good person. She played with me and asked me what I like. I told him I like playing chess the most. She played chess with me and gave me a lot of delicious food." Li Yuan ran into the house happily, He joyfully pulled his elder brother, and took out a delicate pouch embroidered with orchid butterflies from his bosom, and poured out a few jade pendants and some golden melon seeds from it. "This is a meeting gift from Sister Bao, brother, we don't have to worry about our meal money this month!". "

Li Qing looked at the things on the table with a slight smile, patted his younger brother on the head and asked, "You seem to like your sister Bao very much, and you only heard about her along the way."

"Yes, I like her the most, she treats me like my own sister." Li Yuan replied crisply.

"What if she is your sister-in-law?" Li Qing's inquiring eyes fell on his younger brother.

sister in law?Li Yuan stared at his elder brother with wide-eyed eyes in disbelief. After a long silence, he suddenly jumped up and shouted: "That's great, elder brother, go and marry Sister Bao into the house to be my sister-in-law, so that I won't be alone in the future." People are bored."

Li Qing smiled and rolled his eyes. After leading his younger brother to take a shower and change clothes, he coaxed him to sleep.After Li Yuan fell asleep, Li Qing came to the study with a pensive face, unfolded the painting by Wang Meng, and stared at the painting until dawn...

With the lesson from last time, Rikain's servants are extremely honest.This time Uncle Xue brought someone to see Aunt Xue, no one dared to reveal a word, especially to Jia's family, it's no joke to be sent to Mongolia, and even a strong man can die on the road. Not to mention these tender-skinned boys and girls who are used to living half of their masters.

Not long after, Li Qing took the initiative to post a post asking to meet Xue Pan.

Seeing that he was interested, Qian Xiaoqiao specially chose a big room this time, and placed a sumptuous food and drink outside, chatting and drinking with him, while Baochai, Aunt Xue and four nuns sat in the hut.Aunt Xue asked Baochai to secretly take a look at Li Qing through the curtain to see if he liked it.Baochai only glanced at him, vaguely seeing a handsome figure from behind, and felt that he was somewhat similar to his eldest brother, and his heart beat wildly.

[[Subquest Guidance] Players are requested to carefully choose their words, and don't carelessly accept Li Qing's hints! 】

"Brother Xue is handsome and talented, and he is already well-known in our capital city. I heard that you are also very popular in Jinling, your hometown. The matchmaker who told you that you are close has almost leveled the threshold of your family. Is this really the case? "

Qian Xiaoqiao nodded with a smile.

Li Qing praised: "Brother Xue is really lucky, I am very envious of him."

"I think you are a dragon and phoenix among people. You have won the Jinshi at a young age, and your future is boundless! Speaking of your age, you are not too young. Isn't it too demanding?"

"The family has no wealth and power, and few people know people like Brother Xue. In the early years, because of the mother's death, the recruitment of the young emperor was delayed until now. Now it is time to start a family and continue the children, otherwise I will be unfilial. I am dissatisfied with Brother Xue. I don’t ask too much, a confidant is enough. Even if I, Li Qing, will become famous in the future, and I will be worshiped as a first-rank official, I will not accept any concubines to humiliate my wife.”

"Brother Li is indeed a rare lover! It's so inconvenient today, I'll invite you to the Zhuangyuan building to meet again, how about we talk about it in detail?" Qian Xiaoqiao hinted at Li Qing with a smile, and Li Qing looked at it gratefully. To him, stood up and bowed solemnly.

……

Not long after, the Li family hired a matchmaker, and with drums and gongs, they formally made an engagement.

When Mrs. Wang heard the news, she jumped in anger.The Xue family had only lived in Lixiangyuan for half a year when Baochai's marriage was suddenly settled.Moreover, she reached the stage of engagement quietly, and the dowry has already been passed through the paperwork, so this marriage cannot be broken up.

Mrs. Wang twisted off the Buddhist beads angrily. While scolding Zhou Rui's family for being unworthy, she blamed her sister in her heart for being obedient and obedient. She didn't even give her the slightest word about such a big matter.Mrs. Wang angrily went to Lixiangyuan to inquire about the crime, but she was in vain, and was told by the maid that Aunt Xue and Baochai were both at Jiamu's place.She moved to Jia Mu's courtyard, blushed and entered the door, but was taken aback by the laughter in the room.

When Jia Mu saw that Mrs. Wang had arrived, she smiled beamingly and said, "Come and congratulate your sister and your niece!"

Mrs. Wang smiled awkwardly, said congratulations to Aunt Xue, and then said, "Why didn't you discuss such a big matter with us in advance, so what is the Li family like, okay?"

"Well, young and promising, he won the Jinshi examination at a young age and entered the Imperial Academy. He will be promising in the future. His family is also simple, with only one younger brother. In the future, Baochai will not have to serve his parents-in-law when he gets married. , she is the only one in the back house to take the medicine."

"What a marriage!" Jiamu looked at Mrs. Wang, smiled from ear to ear, and took Daiyu into her arms.

Mrs. Wang was so angry that she was half dead, but she didn't dare to show it on her face.She was still not quite reconciled, and held on to Aunt Xue's fault: "It's better to tell us earlier, and help you see if you are right. Both parents died, and there are only two brothers left? I don't know if it's okay, you , it shouldn’t be so fast, it’s better to be more cautious.”
