Eldest sister is not easy to do

Just as the Shen family's jokes were being passed around, the weather became hotter.The soil in Yangzhou is low, and it is yellow mold solar term in April, and it is summer in May, with scorching sun in the sky.Fortunately, Lin's family has a good pavilion and water pavilion. If you sit in it and shake your fan to enjoy the shade, you will feel at ease.As for the beginning of June, in less than half a month, the bean vines will grow up on the ground, twisting around the bamboo and wood and entangled with the shed, but it is more ventilated and cooler than the built gazebo.Shu Yu was afraid that Daiyu would be bored in the room all day, so she took her with her, set up a chair, and fanned herself to enjoy the cool air.

Lin Ruhai's condition is getting better day by day.By the end of June, I was able to get out of bed and walk around.It was at this time that the first matchmaker who heard the name of Miss Lin's family came to the door to propose marriage.The person who proposed the marriage was a son from nearby Guazhou County, surnamed Chen Mingyan.His ancestor was a meritorious official, a hereditary marquis, and his father is now an official in the court, so he left this son to study at home.Now that he has reached the age of starting a family, the father wants to find a good girl for his son.This girl must not only be beautiful, but also have both ability and political integrity.This coincidence made her fall in love with Shu Yu, the eldest lady of the Lin family.

On this day, Shen Qian received the matchmaker Su who proposed marriage.This person is a local gold medal iceman in Yangzhou, and Shen Qian knows that these people have a good mouth.He was not in a hurry to ask about the young master's character, but just served him with good tea and water.When the tea was dry, the Matchmaker Su couldn't bear it any longer, and began to boast about how handsome her young master was, and how well he matched Miss Lin's horoscope.In the end, Matchmaker Su asked Mrs. Lin what she meant: Who is in charge of this young lady's marriage?

Shen Qian said with a faint smile: "This matter should be decided by the old lady. But the old lady is old, and she doesn't know much about the outside world. It's better for me to ask more clearly: that young master is really good-natured ? How many concubines are there in the family? Are there any deficiencies? Are the parents-in-law mean, do the three aunts and seven aunts like the Lin family..."

Matchmaker Su said with a smile: "When it comes to inquiring about information, I'm not boasting. In and outside the city of Jiangsu, in every village and every town, as big as the sons and brothers of eunuchs in small townships, we all know good moral character, length and stature. The Chen family The young master asked me to inquire, but the people in the vicinity either thought he was a small official or an ordinary person. I went back and forth and found more than a dozen young ladies one after another. None of them liked the young master. Suddenly one day, my family The young master talked about the characters of the Lin family, and after inquiring, I found out that the young lady of your family is in the boudoir. And the horoscope is very suitable for the young master of my family, this is really a godsend..."

"It turns out that Mr. Chen heard about the name of my young lady..." Shen Qian nodded with a smile.After sending Matchmaker Su away, she turned around, and Shen Qian sent someone to inquire about Mr. Chen's character and behavior.

It will take five or six days to get news.How did he know that on the third day, he found out about Mr. Chen's family.But it's quite different from what the matchmaker Su said: Although Mr. Chen Yan is also a Confucian scholar who has entered school, he has the reputation of studying.In fact, there is no real study, and because the old father doesn't care, and the loving mother loves it.So I have raised a spendthrift temperament since I was a child.There is also a group of helpers under the door.These people fight around with eagles and dogs all day long, or have fun among the flowers.Drinking and eating meat oppressed the people, slept with prostitutes, spent time and wine.This Mr. Chen mixed with this group of people, what good is there for him!

On the contrary, Shen Qian breathed a sigh of relief: I'm afraid that some good guy will find her, and this Shu Yu will find a good husband for nothing.Wouldn't this make his Lin family prosperous? !Then think about my nephew Shen Wei—a nice big marriage, but someone messed it up.So much so that it made a big fuss.This incident has tarnished the reputation of the Shen family.

And the couple got along for two months, and they were not very harmonious.She was also upset because of this.Now it was Shu Yu's turn to get married, how could she live a better life than her own nephew? !Not to mention that they have turned against each other.Fire and water cannot be tolerated.

Shen Qian had intended to let this second niece, who had no father or mother, marry a pickle.It can not only avenge, but also show that the nephew's marriage is still "happy".It's all right now: an ignorant, gamer is here.This is truly a blessing in disguise.Shen Qian immediately planned all day long, and met with the Su matchmaker the next day.

Shen Qian was not polite, and said affectionately: "It turns out that what the mother said is true: Mr. Chen is a good one. But this kind of marriage, is it so easy? Even the sons and daughters of a small family in the country, it is necessary for the central media to say Let's ask for a job and agree to get married. What's more, the Lin family is the family of a prince, and Mr. Chen is an official family. You should be more cautious than ordinary people... In my opinion, your son must look for this marriage again A valuable matchmaker is the best way to seek it. And the matchmaker should be an official of the fifth grade or above. Only in this way can he be worthy of the official position of the master. As a relative, I can continue to praise the son. Benefits. Wait until the old lady thinks about it, and then hire a thousand gold. Then there is no reason for this marriage to fail!."

The matchmaker nodded repeatedly, thinking: This third aunt seems to be afraid that her niece won't be able to get married.He said: "Ma'am is right. My son has some friendship with the prefect of Guazhou. Why not let him be the matchmaker." Shen Qian said: "If the prefect is willing to go as a matchmaker, it will be safe." Su Matchmaker hurriedly asked someone to write a letter , A famous post to send to my young master.Shen Qian said with a smile: "Everything is ready now, only the east wind is owed. We will beg the master tomorrow, and the old lady will make the decision."

Matchmaker Su was taken aback: I have never seen a wife who married off a daughter in such a hurry.After another thought: yes.Such a girl who has no father and no mother, and the eldest will not marry, is a burden to leave at home.And judging from Shen Qian's meaning, this niece might be a little alienated from her.I'm afraid that the relationship between the two is not good.This Mrs. Shen is despising her niece!But this is what a matchmaker wishes for.I was secretly happy in my heart, and didn't say anything at the moment.He just talked nonsense with Shen Qian.Chen Yan, an ignorant dude, is always described as a studious student who is eager to learn and make progress.So that Lin Ruhai, the old lady, is satisfied.

On the next day, Shen Qian and Matchmaker Su came to the main room.Lin Ruhai was sick and sleepy for a long time, but thinking about his busy business, he had already come to the lobby to discuss important matters with several Qing customers.

Shen Qian didn't wait for all the Qing customers to evade, so she led Matchmaker Su to Lin Ruhai.Lin Ruhai already knew about Su Matchmaker's intentions, so he led the two into the inner room.But the inner room is gorgeously decorated, and all kinds of exquisite study rooms are complete with four treasures.A pair of East China Sea coral curtains are hanging idle, and there is also a gilded Pixiu stove burning incense.

Matchmaker Su couldn't help admiring: Although it's just the residence of the imperial censor, the Lin family exudes a sense of nobility everywhere.Looking at the style inside and outside, it is no less than the mansion of a third-rank official.And I can't help but weigh how much money will be in the red envelope in the future.Thinking of this section, I couldn't help but feel elated.Just about to say some compliments, Shen Qian spoke first:

"My lord, Shu'er's happy event has really arrived! A few days ago, the Chen family asked someone to come and kiss me. I was still a little scruples, so I specially sent someone to inquire: That Mr. Chen is the son of Chen Hanlin today. He has been full since childhood." He reads poetry and books, and he is a heroic person who loves others. Moreover, there is no in-laws to look after him at home, if he and Shu Er's good deeds can be accomplished, this is really a wonderful thing!" Shen Qian looked happy.Looking at her tone, it seems that Mr. Chen is a fairy who fell from the sky.

After hearing this, Lin Ruhai remained silent.After a long time, he sighed slightly.Replied: "My sister-in-law is bothering you...ahem...actually, you don't need to worry about it. Three years ago, I asked someone to visit the outstanding young people nearby, to find a good family for Shu'er, and to fulfill my late brother's wish. But... ...I have not heard that there is an outstanding Mr. Chen in Guazhou. Did you hear some nonsense from a showy matchmaker a few days ago?! What kind of gossip did you hear, and you praised him so much? Tell me, this Chen family is Which son of the Chen family, if there is something good to say, I will send someone to visit him privately."

As soon as the words fell, Matchmaker Su's expression changed.

"This, this... It seems that I was confused." Shen Qian was also surprised, and looked straight at Lin Ruhai.He hesitated, not knowing how to justify.It was true that she was confused: Although Jia Min didn't want to see Shu Yu, Lin Ruhai didn't put much thought on Shu Yu.But what Lin Erye said on his deathbed was to choose a good marriage for his daughter.Now she made up her own mind and wanted to cheat her niece, but instead lifted a rock to shoot herself in the foot.Does it hurt?pain!Because Lin Ruhai didn't give her any face, she exposed her on the spot.what does that mean?It means that Lin Ruhai is quite dissatisfied with the matchmaking!She offended the patriarch of the Lin clan!

Lin Ruhai coughed twice.Looking at the two people who looked like logs, I felt bored for a while, and said slowly: "You don't have to worry about Shu'er's marriage from now on. The old lady said that when I recover from my illness, I will let my third brother move out. Now, It's time for you to pack up your things too. Grange shop, keep what should be kept. And Yanyu, since the old lady has already assigned her to the young master of the Qin family. You husband and wife are thinking of the child, so don't take her away It happens that the old lady is lonely in front of her, so let her accompany the old lady. In the future, it will be beautiful to order the child under the wife's knee to be married as the second grade."

Shen Qian raised her head in surprise, and looked at Lin Ruhai in disbelief.The two compartments were silent, Daiyu opened the curtain and walked up slowly.Gently took Lin Ruhai's arm, smiling like a flower: "Daddy, sister is waiting for you to take medicine! Why have you been waiting for so long? You are not well yet. Don't catch a cold." After finishing speaking, she helped Lin Ruhai enter out of the house.He turned back and glared at Shen Qian, his eyes full of resentment.This glance was like a flash of lightning, brightening Shen Qian's mind: Shu Yu did it!However, what can she do?The veil was twisted several times in the palm of his hand, and his silver teeth were almost crushed:

She was careless!It actually fell on Shu Yu's hands.
