Baochai is a mermaid

When Mrs. Mei woke up, she took Erlang's hand and began to cry.

Her Erlang is good-looking, good at homework, filial and sensible, and now he has won the Jinshi again, and he is still in the top ten of the second class. His future is boundless, but he has been implicated by his family. Marry a girl from a small family.

I knew that my relatives were not easy to mess with, so why did she insist on gossiping, forcing the master to break his promise, forcing Da Lang to marry a tigress back home, and now the chickens are flying eggs, and Er Lang's marriage is also implicated.

Is this God's punishment for her?

Seeing her mother crying sadly, Mei Wenpeng patted her mother's hand, and said sincerely: "Mother, knowing your mistakes can make things better. After thinking about it, I will go to Xue's family to take the blame and ask to marry the eldest daughter of Xue's family."

Only in this way can the rumors be put to rest.

Mrs. Mei thought that pleading guilty to thorns was just a casual statement. When she saw that Mei Wenpeng had taken off his outer robe and top and was only wearing his middle coat, and his skin was pierced by thorns, and half of his body was bloody, she covered her mouth and her eyes, which had been dry for many days, suddenly closed. The long-lost water gushes out.

At this moment, she really regretted it, regretting it so much that her intestines were green, and she wished she could change places with her son.

Ke Mei's family has been driven to a dead end, unless this is the case, there is no turning back.

If the Xue family is willing to change her mind, she is willing to agree to any conditions, and when Xue Baoqin passes through the door, she will definitely offer her up like an offering to a Bodhisattva.

Of course, Mei Wenpeng didn't give her this chance, he gave up the examination of Shu Jishi, and took Xue Baoqin to Yangzhou to become a magistrate.

These are all later stories.

Mei Wenpeng walked all the way to Xue's house to plead guilty, and attracted many people to watch. Because of his outstanding appearance, he was quickly recognized by others, saying that he was this year's new academician, and he was No. 7 in the second class.

It caused a commotion again, and more and more people gathered to watch, gradually forming a long dragon, attracting all the people from the Wucheng Bingma Division.

People were talking about it, wondering where the second master of the Mei family was going and what he was going to do.

Someone who knew Mei Wenpeng couldn't help but ask, "Brother Mei, what kind of song do you sing?"

Mei Wenpeng: "Apologize for the crime."

"Apology to whom?"

"The second master of the Xue family."

"Why?"

Mei Wenpeng told everyone how the second master of the Xue family helped Mei Hanlin back then, how the Mei family ungrateful and regretted their marriage, and how they spread rumors to make trouble.

Everyone was furious after hearing this, but seeing the bloody thorns on his back, they held back their words and followed him silently to the gate of Xue's house.

The concierge had already received the news and went in. At this time, the door of the Xue family opened, and the second master of the Xue family stood at the door, with the word Chuan twisted between his brows.

There is an old saying that punishment is not enough for a scholar-bureaucrat, and Mei Wenpeng came here after he was awarded a Jinshi, which really made him suffer.

When people approached and saw the blood-stained shirt, the second master of the Xue family began to waver, but his lips were pursed into a line.

At this moment, Xue Baoer was holding Xue Baoqin behind the gate and peeping through the crack of the door. When she saw Mei Wenpeng half-stained with blood, Xue Baoer let out a soft "ah", and said to herself, this buddy is hardworking.

Xue Baoqin wanted to pull Xue Baoer back, but Xue Baoer refused. Instead, she changed places with her and held Xue Baoqin to let her look out.

"How is it? Do you like it?" Xue Baoer asked.

Xue Baoqin only took one look and then blushed: "He, why did he do this?"

The Xue family tacitly didn't tell Xue Baoqin about the repentance of the marriage, so Xue Baoqin only knew that she was engaged to the son of the Mei family, but he didn't know which son it was.

I saw that Mei Wenpeng was tall, handsome, and his brows were full of awe-inspiring righteousness. He also heard from people outside that he had just won a Jinshi, and his ranking was quite high.

This person is too perfect to find fault at all.

Xue Bao'er knew what was going on at a glance, and hurriedly called the young man over, said a few words softly, the young man was startled, and ran out to send a message to the second master of the Xue family.

The second master of the Xue family wanted to embarrass Mei Wenpeng at first, but after hearing what the boy said, he glanced behind him, cleared his throat, and reprimanded him: "Showing your chest and showing your back in broad daylight is a disgrace to politeness, come in and talk soon !"

Mei Wenpeng: "..."

He followed the second master of the Xue family into the door, and for no reason remembered the look that the second master of the Xue family had looked behind him before he changed his mind. He turned his head as if in a feeling, and happened to see the two little girls hiding behind the door.

One of them is slightly taller, with a pink face and peach cheeks, and a slender figure, while the other is so white that it shines, it seems extremely beautiful, but it is so unreal, as ethereal as a cloud in the sky.

There are only two girls in the Xue family's eldest room and the second room. The older one is the eldest concubine of An Guogong's mansion, and the younger one is the eldest girl of the second room.

It stands to reason that the eldest concubine of the Duke of Anguo's mansion is married, and it is appropriate to wear a woman's hair in a bun, but the two little girls in front of me are wearing a falling horse bun and the other is wearing a double-ring bun. They stand side by side like twin sisters, like twin sisters. Peonies and peonies are extremely difficult to identify.

Which one is the one he wants to marry?

Suddenly the wind picked up and the silk handkerchief fell, the tall girl let out a low cry, Mei Wenpeng bent down to pick it up and handed it back to her, but the moment she handed it out, the pink and white handkerchief was stained with blood.Mei Wenpeng turned his palm over and sure enough, his palm was stained with blood, probably when he was tying thorns at home, he was stabbed without knowing it.

Xue Baoqin went to pick it up with a blushing face, and was about to say thank you, but saw the man flipped his wrist and put her silk handkerchief into his arms, he was carrying thorns on his back, his back was wet with blood, only the front of the shirt was clean.

But that was her silk handkerchief, a girl's personal thing, how could he...

Thinking about it, I suddenly heard the second master of the Xue family order the servant: "Let the second master of the Mei family go to the clean room to freshen up. This one is covered in gray and blood, what a shame!"

Xue Baoqin was so ashamed that her face flushed, and she couldn't care less about the handkerchief, she hurriedly dragged Xue Baoer to hide behind the flower tree.

The two sneaked out just now, and hid behind the flower tree without the maidservants. Xue Baoqin stomped her feet angrily, calling Mei Wenpeng a disciple.

But Xue Bao'er said with a smile: "There is blood on his hands, it must be blood on the veil, wait a minute, let's see how he behaves."

After Mei Wenpeng washed and washed, she changed into a brand new moon white gown, wearing Moshang Ren Ruyu, a son who is unparalleled in the world, and just won the second-class Jinshi, Xue's mother and second wife can't find any faults.

It's just that the Mei family is really hateful, and naturally they won't have a good face towards Mei Wenpeng.Mei Wenpeng apologized sincerely, with a humble attitude, and proposed a marriage proposal. Only then did Xue's mother and second wife look better.

The second master of the Xue family frowned but did not let go, and said in a calm voice: "There is a law in this dynasty, and the families and relatives of officials are not allowed to engage in business. Now that you are a Jinshi, how can you marry a merchant girl?"

The second master of the Xue family was born as a scholar, and the whole family lives on a few acres of Susukida. It is a proper farming and studying family.

But Xue Biao took over the business of Xue's parents' house, and the business of Xue's family grew bigger and bigger in the past few years.

Xue Baoqin is a merchant girl.

If this problem is not resolved, there will be no marriage at all.

Unexpectedly, Mei Wenpeng was already prepared, and respectfully said: "Shibo is very worried, but my nephew heard that this law is not well implemented in Jiangnan."

The second master of the Xue family was obviously taken aback: "You, you... Could it be possible..."

Those who are admitted to Jinshi, especially those who are in the top ten of the second class, usually take the examination of Shujishi, and strive to stay in the Imperial Academy and become a Beijing official.When you have enough qualifications, you can go abroad, the official position will be higher, and you will have better political achievements. Then you can be a servant in the sixth department after being transferred back to the capital.

Mei Hanlin took this road at the beginning, but he was already in his thirties when he passed the Jinshi examination, and Mei Wenpeng was only a weak crown. Court is not impossible.

Ke Mei asked Peng what he had just said.

There are many wealthy businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River, especially in Jinling and Yangzhou. Most of the wealthy businessmen colluded with the government, and sometimes they got married. Most of the government turned a blind eye and turned a blind eye.

But that is Jiangnan, where the sky is high and the emperor is far away.

This is not the case in the capital city, where the law is the strictest, and Yushitai is not just for nothing.

unless……

"My nephew doesn't intend to follow my father's old path, become an official in the capital, and gain seniority." Mei Wenpeng smiled, "My nephew wants to go back to the south of the Yangtze River and become a parent official to benefit the people in one side."

The second master of the Xue family let out an "ah" in disappointment, it's really a pity that the top two ranks are so high.

But then again, it seems that only in this way can the two families get married.

In the end, the second master and the second wife of the Xue family agreed to discuss marriage again, Mei Wenpeng said goodbye and left, and when the maid led her to the Chuihua Gate, she saw the two little girls again.

Mei Wenpeng stood still, took out from his bosom a silk handkerchief that was obviously still half wet but was clean, and handed it to the maid who led the way: "Please, sister, return this silk handkerchief to that girl."

The servant girl blinked: "Is it for Miss Qin, or Princess Shizi?"

Mei Wenpeng deliberately did not look at the two little girls, and only talked to the servant girl: "This is the first time Mei came to Xue's residence, so I don't know which one is Miss Qin and which one is Shizifei."

The servant girl thought for a while, and said: "The taller one is Miss Qin, and the shorter one is Shizifei."

Mei Wenpeng slightly pursed his lips, looked away from Xue Baoqin, put back the half-wet handkerchief again, and walked away.

The maid hurriedly followed and asked, "Didn't you return the handkerchief?"

Mei Wenpeng took a look at Xue Baoqin and said with a smile: "When Mei comes next time, I can pay it back myself."

Over there, Xue Baoqin was still waiting for someone to return the handkerchief, but seeing that person glanced at her and left, she couldn't help complaining to Xue Baoer: "It can be seen that he is a disciple."

Xue Bao'er, a disciple of the board, had seen it too much, and he didn't take it seriously when he heard the words: "Not necessarily."

When the little maid who led the way came back, Xue Baoer stopped her to ask, and the little maid told the whole conversation between her and Mei Wenpeng.

"Is that veil clean?" Xue Baoer asked.

The little maid recalled it for a while: "Clean is clean, it just looks a little wet."

It should have been washed.

He didn't return the handkerchief on the spot, it must be because the handkerchief was soiled by him, and he thought about returning it after cleaning it.

It shows that this person is very careful and particular.

Taking the opportunity of returning the handkerchief, he figured out which one was Xue Baoqin, and secretly poked at each other. It can be seen that this person has a strong heart and is not a bookworm.

After finding out that the handkerchief belonged to Xue Baoqin, he would not return it, and said that when he came to return it in person in the future, he probably fell in love with Xue Baoqin, and hinted that the two families might get married.

This man...is a bit interesting.

Xue Baoer made a bet with Xue Baoqin that the second master must have agreed to the marriage, but Xue Baoqin didn't believe it, but when she asked, it was true.

Xue Baoqin blushed again.

After that, Mei Hanlin brought Mrs. Mei to the door to apologize in person. The second master and second wife of the Xue family were very optimistic about Mei Wenpeng and didn't care about it anymore.

When the Mei family asked a matchmaker to come to propose marriage, another good news came from Northwest.
