Enter the red building

There is an endless stream of people visiting Zhennan General's Mansion.All the officials in the capital know that Xue Qiu, the Zhennan General, has made great achievements in pacifying the pirates in Guangdong and Guangxi, and will soon return to Beijing to report on his duties. After he returns, he will definitely be rewarded by the emperor. Mutually.At this time, of course, we must establish a good relationship with Xue's family, so that we can take care of anything in the future.

Mrs. Xue can be said to be both happy and depressed at the same time. Of course she is happy because her son is safe and well and has done meritorious service. Not very comfortable.But Mrs. Xue still couldn't hide the joy and pride between her eyebrows, and she forced herself to receive these inner women with a smile on her face.

But what Mrs. Xue didn't expect was that she was suffering from phlegm syndrome because of her uncomfortable body, dizzy head, chest tightness and qi deficiency.

Xue Baoqin has also known many ladies from great families. She is no longer the daughter of that lowly merchant, she is now the only direct sister of General Zhennan, her status is naturally much higher, maybe her status will be even more prominent.Among these ladies, it is rare that there is a woman who admires the elder brother. The elder brother is not only the rare three-yuan and the number one scholar in ancient times, but also the youngest general.

Mrs. Xue really didn't know what to say to these families who were thinking of getting married.

The son already has someone in his heart, and it has reached the point where Feiqing will not marry. I really don't know what to do with the two of them.The people who came to say goodbye are also big families in the capital, so it's really hard to refuse directly, for fear of hurting face and breaking friendship.Now this status was acquired by her son with all her life, Mrs. Xue didn't want to offend some people, and make Qiu'er suffer from them in the future.

Nanny Li walked in a few steps and said, "Ma'am, the eldest wife of the Mei family has brought her two daughters to the house."

Mrs. Xue's face turned serious, and she said coldly: "Why are you here again? We are not like their Mei family thinking about regretting the marriage."

Nanny Li smiled, and said with relief: "It's natural. It's the Mei family's heartbeat,

Afraid of losing this good relationship. "

Mrs. Xue sighed and didn't say anything else, but felt sorry for her daughter. It was really aggrieved that a good general's sister was going to marry into a fourth-rank servant and a bachelor's residence.The people who asked Qin'er these days were much better than the Mei family.Forget it, everyone has their own destiny, and Qin'er won't suffer any grievances at her husband's house in the future.

Putting away these thoughts, Mrs. Xue walked to the main hall with a smile on her face, and smiled as soon as she entered the door: "Why are you here when you are free?"

The eldest wife of the Mei family is surnamed Tang. She is almost forty years old, but she is well maintained. She still looks very charming when she frowns and smiles. She is wearing a golden orchid embroidered autumn shirt with a dark purple waistcoat on the outside and a dark blue skirt underneath. Said: "It's not for the marriage between our two families!"

Mrs. Xue smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes, and she looked at the two girls standing beside her.Among the two girls, the elder one was Mei Ting, the eldest daughter, who was wearing a light red dress, with a beautiful jade hairpin on her head, and her eyebrows were delicate.The younger one is Mei Yan, who is wearing a light purple long dress, a simple flowing cloud bun, and a pair of red phoenix eyes, adding a bit of charm to this childish face.

The two sisters hurriedly bowed to Mrs. Xue, "I met Aunt Xue!"

Mrs. Xue smiled, and stretched out her hand to support the two sisters, "Don't be too polite." Then she turned to Zhiqiu, the maid, and said, "Hurry up and take the two girls from the Mei family to Miss's place, you don't have to be in front of us. Take it easy. Don't forget the tea and snacks!"

Zhiqiu hurriedly bent down to respond.The two girls of Mei's family glanced at their mother, Mrs. Tang, and seeing her nodding slightly in agreement, they smiled and followed Zhiqiu to the southeast courtyard.

Mrs. Tang warned again, "Don't break the rules!"

Mrs. Xue picked up a cup of tea on the high table and asked, "Isn't the marriage between this Qin'er and your family's Mei Xuan already settled? What happened?"

Mrs. Tang smiled a little embarrassedly, and said, "Nothing happened. I just wanted to settle down the two of them's life earlier, so I could prepare earlier."

Mrs. Xue's complexion changed slightly, and she put down the white porcelain teacup in her hand. She knew that the Mei family wanted to settle down earlier so that no accidents would happen. Zi Zi said, "This Qiu'er hasn't come back yet, so it's hard to set a date for Qin'er. After all, Qiu'er is her only elder brother, so I have to tell him!"

Mrs. Tang smiled sarcastically, she also knew that she was too anxious, but recently there were many people who went to Xue's house to ask about Xue Baoqin's marriage. What I'm afraid of is that the Xue family has this knot in their hearts, and they don't want to marry Xue Baoqin to the Mei family.Mrs. Tang thought for a while, and then said, "Isn't nephew Xue Qiu coming back soon? I want to settle this matter first, and then handle it after he comes back. This way I don't panic, everything is ready."

Mrs. Xue thought for a moment and said, "This day must be after Qiu'er comes back."

Mrs. Tang smiled and said: "Of course, this Baoqin must be married off by his brother. Mrs. Xue, don't worry. These rules will not be bad, and Baoqin will never be wronged."

Mrs. Xue also smiled, but her brows were very tired, her head was a little dizzy, her chest was tight, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed a few times.

Mrs. Tang looked at Mrs. Xue's pale face, and asked worriedly, "Mrs. Xue, are you okay? Your complexion is not very good."

Nanny Li hurriedly helped Mrs. Xue to calm down, and couldn't help saying: "Madam, you seem to be like this these days, why don't you find a doctor to take a look?"

Mrs. Xue smiled modestly, and said to Mrs. Tang: "Maybe I've been a little tired recently, it doesn't matter."

Mrs. Tang also knew that since the news that Xue Qiu had pacified the pirates in Guangdong and Guangxi, it was the Zhennan General's Mansion that had really become the object of fawning for everyone in the capital, and it was in the limelight for a while.Now the rightful lord has not come back, if he comes back, I'm afraid it will really be full of people.Thinking of this, Mrs. Tang felt a little jealous again. How could this lowly Xue family merchant be so prominent one day, become the friend of every family in the capital, and make herself have to smile. Thinking about it, I really feel uncomfortable.

But this is just thinking about it, Mrs. Tang dare not show the slightest jealousy on her face, not to mention that Xue's family is more prominent than Mei's now, and her son's future future will depend on Xue Qiu's gang.Mrs. Tang said with concern: "Mrs. Xue, you have to take good care of your body and don't tire yourself out. You will enjoy happiness in the future."

Mrs. Xue smiled, "I know that!"

Mrs. Tang saw that today's affairs were almost done, and said with a smile: "Then I will ask the matchmaker to take a look at the Geng Posts of the two of them tomorrow, and choose a good day."

Mrs. Xue nodded. She also knew that most girls were about to get married when they were fifteen or sixteen years old, so she didn't say anything more, just said: "Qin'er, I'm going to get married. After that——"

Madam Tang understood the meaning of Madam Xue's words, and immediately answered, "Don't worry, our Mei family will never let Baoqin be wronged."

Mrs. Xue nodded, she believed that the Mei family would not dare to neglect Qin'er, after all, her status was there.

Mrs. Tang asked curiously, "Mrs. Xue, why isn't nephew Xue Qiu engaged yet?"

Mrs. Xue was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, but didn't answer, but felt very bitter in her heart.
