[Red Mansions] Dependents

The so-called Iraqis are on the water side.The biggest thought in Jingyu's mind now is to ask for it.

It all started when Lin Ruhai met the Juzis. Lin Ruhai chatted with the Juzis for a while, exchanged poems and books for a while, and those Juzis left, but Lin Ruhai left behind Mo Yang, Xuan Yi and Jingyu. It's been a long time since the few people got together because of the imperial examination, so they had to have a good chat.

And Jingyu came out to relieve his hand, and on the way back after the relief, he was thinking about things in his head and felt that he had gone the wrong way. He saw this scene in front of him. He made tea with a smile, and his movements were flowing like clouds and flowing water. From time to time, he raised his head and smiled at the two playful girls, or shook his head slightly, and then continued to lower his head and lower his eyes, doing the movements on his hands.

At this moment, Jingyu could only describe it as a thumping action, and suddenly he understood why those sentimental lines in the Book of Songs, such as Guanju, Caige, Taoyao, etc., can be passed down to this day. This is the most primitive feeling of human beings. Now he has the urge to ask for it as described in Jian Jia, and then he talks about life and death, and talks with Zicheng.Hold your hand and grow old with you.

However, impulsiveness is impulsive after all, and it is not good for Jingyu to ruin the reputation of other girls, and this is the inner courtyard of his mentor. Going back the way he came, he happened to meet the servant who came out to look for him, Jingyu quickly returned to Lin Ruhai's study.

The others didn't notice anything unusual about Jingyu, but Lin Ruhai noticed Jingyu's disappearance before leaving, but Lin Ruhai didn't investigate anything further.

Lin Ruhai also had a good candidate for Yaxin during the conversation with the visiting examiner this time, and when Jia Rong came to pick him up, he sent Yaxin the candidate and family background he had written. Today, more than a dozen people came For example, Lin Ruhai also learned a lot during the conversation, so he selected five, and the top three among these five were naturally Mo Yang and the others.

Yaxin is satisfied with this look, it is indeed much more detailed than what she checked, and at least there is quality assurance, this time she found the right person.

Looking at each of them, Yaxin finally focused on the three of Moyang who were in the capital, and Yaxin was most satisfied with Geng Jingyu. Not to mention the centuries-old scholarly fragrance, this seemingly unreasonable ancestral precept attracted Yaxin the most. Yes, this kind of family should be very satisfied with Miaoyu. In this era when women are virtuous without talent, there are very few people who value women's literary talents, and even fewer have simple family structures. Geng The family structure of the family is simple enough. There are few wives and concubines for generations. After all, he is a scholar and understands the truth that women are difficult to raise. Don’t be afraid of anything else. If the backyard catches fire, it is not fun. She doesn't know how to take concubines, this is what makes Yaxin most satisfied.

"Mother, have you found a good candidate?" Seeing Yaxin's smiling face, Keqing knew that she must have found a good candidate.

Yaxin took a few pieces of paper written by Lin Ruhai and said to Keqing: "These two people are not from the capital, so I don't worry about it. Ran'er is married so far away, and we can't help if she is bullied, and these three people in the capital They are all good, I am most optimistic about the one from the Geng family, I am satisfied in all aspects, and they are two years older than Ran'er, so they are the best candidates, but I don't know if they are satisfied with our Ran'er."

Ke Qing smiled slightly: "Ke Qing shouldn't take a look at this thing, mother should show it to my younger sister, and she should be satisfied."

"You're right. I looked happy, but I forgot about it. If Ran'er is not satisfied, it's useless to say anything." Yaxin said, and then sent someone to find Miaoyu.

Seeing that the visitor only called herself, Miaoyu knew what it was for. She didn't forget the things Lin Ruhai gave Jia Rong before she left. She was embarrassed all the way, so she came a bit late: "Auntie."

Seeing Miaoyu's dodging eyes, Yaxin knew that she had guessed it: "It seems that you also know why my aunt came to you."

Miaoyu pretended not to know, and looked at Yaxin with puzzled eyes.

"I'm going to put on a show, it's okay, there are no outsiders now, you can pick and choose, which one is satisfactory." Yaxin handed the paper to Miaoyu.

Miaoyu hesitated whether to accept or not.

Seeing her twitching, Yaxin took the paper and stood next to Miaoyu and read the detailed information of the three people in the capital to Miaoyu. Miaoyu listened silently with her head bowed. I am very grateful to Yaxin for her concern for me, but marriage is usually ordered by her parents and the matchmaker's words, even if she wants to, she has no nerve to say so.

"Ran'er listens to my aunt." Miaoyu said after listening.

Seeing this, Yaxin knew that there was nothing to ask, so she told Miaoyu what she thought, "What does Ran'er think of the Geng family?"

Miaoyu didn't know how to say it, but she knew that Yaxin must have thought about it for herself, so this person must be good, so she said softly "Yes."

"That's good, then aunt let Rong'er inform Uncle Lin first, and when she is free in a few days, aunt will post a post to invite Madam Geng to come over to the house slowly." Seeing Miaoyu nodding her head in agreement, Yaxin said happily.

Miao Yu immediately blushed.

This time, after Geng Jingyu returned home, he couldn't think of tea anymore, his mind was full of the scenes he saw that day, the only difference was that there was only one scene, the picture of the woman cleaning her hands and burning incense to make tea.

"Du-dun." The knock on the door interrupted Jingyu's thoughts.

"Mother, why are you here?" Jingyu asked when he saw that it was his mother who opened the door and entered.

Mrs. Geng smiled kindly and said: "Mother saw that you didn't have enough for dinner tonight, and she was afraid that you would be hungry, so she made a supper for you, but did it disturb your reading?" Usually at this time, Jingyu is reading at night in the study Yes, so I have this question.

"No. But I haven't eaten my mother's cooking for many years, so I don't know if the taste is still so good?" Jingyu put down the book in his hand and smiled guiltyly. Been in a trance for so long.

Mrs. Geng pulled Jingyu to sit down at the table: "Then let's try to see if Mother's craftsmanship has deteriorated."

"Yeah. The taste hasn't changed at all, but mother made a little cooking for dad at night, right?" Jingyu said after taking a bite.

Mrs. Geng clenched her fist and tapped Jingyu's forehead: "You child, even your mother dares to make fun of you."

Then Mrs. Geng sat aside and watched Jingyu finish eating, then she looked at him seriously and asked, "What happened when you went out today?"

"No." Jingyu denied it.

Mrs. Geng became even more worried: "You still want to lie to your mother. You have been absent-minded since you came back, but what trouble have you encountered?"

"There is no trouble, mother, don't worry." Jingyu replied, and then thought about it again, thinking that it might be better to tell his mother about it, so he said: "Today I went to visit my teacher with my friends, and I lost my way in the teacher's mansion. I accidentally broke into the inner courtyard and saw a girl."

"Is it the daughter of the Lin family?" Mrs. Geng finally understood that this matter was troubled by love.

Jingyu shook his head and said: "No. The daughter of my benefactor is still young, this girl is about fourteen or five years old."

"Did you see her girl?"

Jingyu nodded embarrassedly.

"What about the girl, what is her attitude towards you?"

Jingyu was like a child who was caught doing something bad, squeaking, "The girl didn't see me."

"Then do you know which girl it is, mother will show you." Mrs. Geng seemed very interested in the object of her son's first love.

Jingyu shook his head in disappointment again, Mrs. Geng looked at her stupid son and expressed surprise, when did her son act so stupidly.

"It's okay, I'll ask your father to ask Master Lin tomorrow, and I'm sure we can find someone." Mrs. Geng comforted her son.

Although Geng Jingyu's father agreed to Mrs. Geng to inquire about it, a big man would have the nerve to inquire about the little girl. If he was misunderstood, he would lose his old face.

Father Geng, who had finally struggled for a few days, was urged by his wife to talk to Lin Ruhai for the sake of his son's future happiness. This question was a serious question, not only did he know that the girl was the one who made waves some time ago The Gao family's daughter also learned that she asked Lin Ruhai to help her watch people, and Lin Ruhai told her about her son, and they seemed quite satisfied.

He quickly thanked Lin Ruhai, and when he got home, he told Mrs. Geng and Jingyu what he had heard.

Mrs. Geng glanced at Jingyu and said, "I told you to propose marriage at that time, but you were not happy about it. You made such a big circle for nothing." To propose marriage, but people refused to live or die.

"Yes, yes, mother, you are the most wise, when is mother going to propose marriage?" Jingyu knew the news of his ideal, but couldn't wait.

Seeing Jingyu's anxious appearance, Mrs. Geng said unhurriedly: "No hurry, no hurry, our family has no relationship with Ningguo Mansion, so why did they hand over the post, it seems that it is for this matter, I will go over tomorrow Look at that girl, if she is really good, mother will immediately find a matchmaker to propose marriage for you."

====================================================================== =============

"How is Mrs. Guo's health recently?" Mrs. Geng asked after seeing Yaxin.

Yaxin smiled and said: "It's much better. Look at me, this guest has forgotten to introduce. This is my sister-in-law Xichun, this is my daughter-in-law Qin, and this is my niece who survived the catastrophe, single name One word."

"Madam is very lucky. These are all beauties. If I look at them every day, I will feel at ease. All serious illnesses and pains will be cured without medicine." Mrs. Geng said, her eyes lingering on Miaoyu for a while.

Then he pulled Miaoyu and said: "I have heard about this child, but it is a pity that I saw it. He was in trouble at a young age. Fortunately, he has been found now. In the future, he will definitely be blessed."

"Mrs. Xie said auspicious words." Miao Yu blessed her body and said.

Yaxin also said: "Really? I'm just worried about her temper now. Maybe it's because she has been with the Buddha for a long time, and she has become calmer, and she doesn't understand the worldly ways. Her parents are gone, so an aunt will inevitably have to worry about her. , My daughter’s family is getting older, and she won’t stay here for long, so I’m afraid she’ll marry someone who’s not good and be bullied.” Finally, she got the news that the young master has taken a fancy to Miaoyu.

"What kind of family does Madam want to find for her?" Madam Geng immediately followed up.

"I don't ask for anything. I don't want the best. I just want to find someone who is suitable. This kid has a good literary talent. If I find someone who doesn't accept women's talents, no matter how good the family background is, I will suffer." Yaxin said

Mrs. Geng had heard people say that, and seeing the child standing beside Yaxin obediently, taking care of her from time to time, she felt satisfied, so she said bluntly: "I feel good about this child. It just so happens that there is a child in my family. My son, I have not married a wife yet, what does Madam think?"

"Since my wife has said so, I have also heard about some things about Mr. Geng's family, and I believe in the Geng family, so I have no objections." Yaxin didn't want to continue practicing Tai Chi anymore.

Mrs. Geng was also pleased with Yaxin's straightforwardness, and said: "Then this handsome girl will give me an advantage. I'll go back and make preparations, and choose a good day to propose marriage."

"My wife, don't wait, this matter is not in a hurry, since you are here, why don't you sit for a while, the tea made by Ran'er is very fragrant, it's not too late to leave after drinking it, isn't it?" Yaxin was also happy to see Mrs. Geng being so eager, at least it showed that she valued her.

"Yes, yes, look at how impatient I am. My in-laws have already said so, so I must stay and have a good taste." Mrs. Geng looked at Yaxin and said with a smile.
