Enter the red building

Mrs. Xue arrived in the capital early in the morning, and Xue Qiu hurried to the pier with his servants to pick up his mother and sister.The two of them traveled all the way, Xue Qiu didn't have time to say anything to them, so he asked the servants to take his mother and sister to tidy up, and after changing their clothes, they sat together drinking tea and talking about things after the break.

Xue Baoqin hadn't seen him for a long time. Looking at Xue Qiu's excited face, he said happily, "Brother, you are really amazing! It's actually three yuan and first!" His eyes were full of admiration.

Xue Qiu said with a smile: "It's thanks to my sister's auspicious words, thank you for my sister's confidence in my brother's success."

Xue Baoqin didn't feel embarrassed at all, and accepted Xue Qiu's thanks with a smile, and said with a smile: "Of course, if I didn't pray for my brother in my heart, my brother might not be able to get three yuan."

Xue Qiu rolled his eyes at Xue Baoqin, and said helplessly, "How dare you say that!"

Mrs. Xue, who was next to her, was very relieved to see the laughter of the two brothers and sisters, and said to Xue Qiu: "Qiu'er, you must have been tired during this time!" Xue Qiu has lost a lot of weight recently, and his chin is pointed, but I have grown a lot taller, and I can't talk about getting tired.

Xue Qiu wryly smiled and said: "Mother, how can I be troubled! Didn't you realize that I have grown a lot taller?" Xue Qiu stood up from the chair and asked Mrs. Xue to take a look at his tall figure.

"Indeed, my elder brother has grown a lot taller. It looks like a beautiful tree facing the wind, a handsome talent!" Xue Baoqin looked at Xue Qiu, smiling and sighing.

Xue Qiu naturally knew that his sister was really teasing him, so he glanced at Xue Baoqin and said, "Ghost girl, do you want me to tell you what that kid from the Mei family looks like? Hey, hey!" Xue Qiu deliberately teased Xue Baoqin, sighing He took a deep breath, as if there was something unspeakable about that appearance.

When Xue Baoqin heard Xue Qiu mentioning the young master of the Mei family whom she had a marriage contract with, she couldn't help wondering what kind of person he was, but looking at his brother's hesitant appearance, could it be that he looked very——.

Looking at Xue Baoqin's eyes eager to know, Xue Qiu raised the corner of his mouth and said seriously: "He looks really——really."

"What's really going on? Brother, why didn't you tell me?" Xue Baoqin asked directly because she was impatiently seduced by Xue Qiu.

Xue Qiu couldn't stop laughing, and said, "Mother, can you see how anxious my sister is?"

Mrs. Xue knew that Xue Qiu was really teasing Xue Baoqin. She had seen Mei Xuan from the Mei family before. She was good-looking, but she was soft-tempered.

Xue Baoqin realized that she was being teased by her brother, and she asked her future husband-in-law what he would look like regardless of etiquette. She really didn't have the restraint of a daughter's family.Xue Baoqin was about to cry, lowered her head and shook Mrs. Xue's arm, and said, "Mother, look at my brother bullying me."

Mrs. Xue quickly glared at Xue Qiu, and comforted Xue Baoqin: "Don't pay attention to him, he just talks nonsense."

Xue Qiu was speechless for Xue Baoqin's trick. Seeing the two of them attacking together, he said with a sad face, "I'm wronged! Why are you talking about me?"

But Mrs. Xue said: "Who called you elder brother?" Mrs. Xue asked again: "Has someone from the Mei family come?" He knew that his son might not go to the Mei's first, but the Mei family could only come to visit in person.

Xue Qiu smiled and said: "The elder of the Mei family came with Mei Xuan, and he wanted me to go to Mei's house some other day." Xue Qiu felt a strong sense of contrast when he said that.

Mrs. Xue looked at Xue Qiu's disdainful look, and she knew a little bit in her heart. Looking at Xue Baoqin, if it wasn't for Qin'er, Qiu'er might not associate with the Mei family.Mrs. Xue sighed, and said: "Since they have already given face so much, we naturally can't be too arrogant. We will visit Mei's house in a few days."

Xue Qiu nodded, he understood all these reasons, and said: "Mother, I will report to the Imperial Academy tomorrow to take up my post. I'm afraid I will be very busy with many handover matters, and I may not be able to accompany my mother. But after a few days I think it will be better."

Mrs. Xue smiled, "Naturally, you are already an official, so naturally you have to be busy with court affairs. You can't be lazy."

Xue Qiu said with a smile: "Mother, don't worry, my son will definitely be a good official, just like his adoptive father."

Mrs. Xue nodded, and said sadly: "If your father knows——, he will be very pleased."

Seeing that her mother was sad, Xue Baoqin quickly advised, "Mother is fine, why are you crying?"

Mrs. Xue wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said, "No, I'm happy!" Then she raised her head and asked Xue Qiu, "Qiu'er, it's time to prepare for your marriage. Do you have someone in mind?"

As soon as Xue Qiu heard his mother ask him if he had a crush, he immediately thought of Lin Daiyu, but felt a burst of heartache, and smiled, and said, "Son, how could there be a crush?"

yes?How could there be?Nor should there be!

However, Xue Baoqin noticed the gloomy look in Xue Qiu's eyes, and she became more and more sure of her guess. Looking at her brother's forced smile, Xue Baoqin felt very distressed.She herself didn't know what it was like to like, but looking at her brother, she knew that liking someone who shouldn't be liked was a very painful thing.She didn't know how deep and unbearable this kind of pain was. Xue Baoqin only hoped that her brother would not suffer from this kind of pain again.

Mrs. Xue heard Xue Qiu say that he didn't like anyone, and knew in her heart that Qiu'er didn't know a few girls, how could she have someone in her heart, and said with a smile: "Then how about mother finding a good marriage for you?"

Xue Qiu tried to calm down his mood, and said with a smile: "Mother, my son is not in a hurry!" Xue Qiu smiled on the surface, but he was very tormented in his heart. He obviously liked her, but he couldn't say it out.My heart is like being on fire, and I still have to say that I am fine.I will be fine!

Mrs. Xue said angrily: "Don't worry, your sister is getting married soon. Don't worry."

But Xue Baoqin quit, why did she blame herself, and said strangely: "Why is mother talking about her daughter?"

Xue Qiu really couldn't accept the matchmaker's words, let go of the obsession in his heart, and said: "The son will only consider his own marriage after the younger sister gets married."

Mrs. Xue said disapprovingly: "How can you be later than your sister?"

Just as Xue Qiu wanted to persuade his mother, he saw Wang Fu hurried in and said, "Ma'am, a girl came outside the door and said she was looking for the uncle."

"What? A girl is looking for me?" Xue Qiu was very surprised that he didn't seem to know any girl, it couldn't be Daiyu, he wouldn't come out of Jia's mansion, so who else could it be?

After Mrs. Xue heard it, she looked happy, she glanced at Xue Qiu, and said that she had no crush, and now that all the girls came to her door, no wonder she wanted to wait for Qin'er to get married before thinking about her own marriage, but this It would be too reckless to know which daughter the girl is, so she just ran to other people's house like this.

The woman outside the door is wearing a light-colored vibrating-style skirt with a narrow waist and full sleeves of light-colored jasmine, a pink belt tied around her waist, and jade pendants and other things. She has light-painted crescent eyebrows, and her skin is better than snow. She stands gracefully in front of the door. , the woman is Shui Linglong.
