[Comprehensive Wear] It's hard to be a princess

Even though the plot has long gone off track, fate has caused many people to go to the capital either actively or passively. However, this time the center of gathering is no longer Rongguo Mansion.

Xue Biao's family came to Beijing not to join Xue Wang's family. Since Xue Wang's family brought a pair of children to Beijing, Xue Biao's family has rarely had contact with them.Xue Biao's father was also educated. Because he was a concubine, he was taught since he was a child not to compete with his elder brother for the family business. Therefore, he has always been very law-abiding.Xue's family is actually generous in floating wealth. They are not short of money. Therefore, when Xue Biao's family was separated, the property they received was not too small. Ordinary wealthy households are stronger.

Xue Biao's lineage also doesn't plan to continue to do business. If they really continue to be businessmen, they will end up running errands for Xue Bian and the others. Therefore, they plan to change careers. Therefore, Xue Biao's father bought a lot of real estate at the beginning. I also invested in several workshops, and the income is not bad.If you have money, you have to worry about your children's future.

Xue Biao is a man who inherits their family business. He is not as temperamental as Xue Pan. At least he can keep the family property and there will be no major problems in the future. But Xue Baoqin is different. The label of Shang's daughter, her father has no serious fame, and although her elder brother is still reliable, if he puts it in the mouth of others, he is a rich man.To put it bluntly, Xue Baoqin belongs to the kind who has a certain dowry but does not have enough social status, so the marriage will inevitably be bumpy.

Back then, Father Xue had sponsored a scholar surnamed Mei. If Father Xue hadn't helped, this person would have died of illness in the inn, let alone a gold medal winner.Later, with the support of the Xue family, this man was successfully admitted to Juren. Later, he took money from the Xue family and went to Beijing to rush for the exam three times in a row. I brought it up by myself, and I will be a son-daughter relative with the Xue family in the future, and then I exchanged Geng Tie, but after this person was successfully admitted to Jinshi and entered the Hanlin Academy, this person stopped mentioning this sentence, and the two families had no relationship at all. Nothing.

Mei Hanlin thought very clearly, generally speaking, the ones who suffer the most are the girls. Boys marry later, so it can be said that their future is the most important thing, but girls will be looked down upon immediately after they are old. .Now that Xue's father is gone, and Xue Biao is still a half-grown boy, Mei Hanlin naturally doesn't think that the other party is qualified to discuss any marriage with his family, and he has nothing to do with him, so he adopts the tactic of procrastinating.As long as it drags on, the Xue family will not be able to take it anymore and will voluntarily withdraw the engagement.At that time, it's not that I don't want to repay the favor, but that others don't want it, so I will have face.

The Xue family's mother and son are not fools either, they treat the Mei family as if they were their sons and daughters' in-laws. Every year, there are a lot of rituals, but the Mei family is extremely indifferent, and the gifts are perfunctory, and they never talk about marriage. , it can be seen that the other party is not willing to marry his own daughter again.

The Xue family is not ordinary people, they are also people who have seen the world. When Xue Jian was alive, even the prefect of Jinling was polite to the Xue family in the land of Jinling. Mei Hanlin was a humble scholar with no roots. , is rare, but for the Xue family, it is not worth licking their cheeks and sticking it.Therefore, after realizing the Mei family's plan, Xue Biao discussed with his mother, and decided to go to Beijing to find the Mei family to make things clear. Anyway, this marriage was booked early, and the Xue family never told anyone else. Quietly annulled the marriage, and everyone went their own way, lest the Mei family think that they must curry favor with them.

Xue Baoqin is not an ignorant girl whose mind is full of love and love. Her father died young, and she grew up with her. Regarding marriage, her mother also asked her opinion. Her meaning is also very simple. Before marriage, people despise you That's the case, even if you really hold on to the marriage contract with the cheek, after you get married, on their territory, whether you get sick or die, it's just a matter of their words, and it's worth paying for this decent marriage. Is it your own life or even your life?

When Xue Baoqin said this, Xue's family naturally decided to withdraw from the engagement. Baoqin was not too old, so it would not be too late to discuss after two years.

Xing Xiuyan followed the Escort team, tossed and turned many times, and finally entered Beijing. Along the way, she really turned herself into a taciturn young man. She forced herself to help the Escorts move things and write letters for others. She also learned to drink with a bunch of rough people, and when she heard some nasty jokes from them, she was blushing at first, but then she got used to it.Maybe someone saw her fault, but no one exposed it. At least along the way, everyone maintained basic kindness towards her. Even so, Xing Xiuyan breathed a sigh of relief when he arrived in the capital.

Compared with other places, the capital city is much more open. There are too many foreigners who come to the capital city to seek a living. Although the people in the capital city have a kind of pride in their bones, they are not xenophobic. After all, those high-ranking people in the capital city today, Many of them did not stay in the capital from the beginning, and there are not many officials from the capital who are serious and honest. Therefore, the natives in the capital do not have the kind of arrogance with their nostrils turned upside down. On the contrary, they are more tolerant and kind to outsiders. of.

Xing Xiuyan has now been able to calmly tell people that he is here to find relatives, and everyone has given blessings to this. Xing Xiuyan cheered up and planned to find out how many nunneries there are in Beijing. It would be better to place an order too.Xing Xiuyan is running out of money. In order to prevent being discovered or to take advantage of something, she has to spend money honestly to live in a decent hotel, and it has to be a single room, which is not cheap. If she can't find Mrs. Xuanyin before the flowers are over, then she has to find a way to make a living first.

Fortunately, Mrs. Xuanyin is quite well-known in the capital. She was a legend in the south of the Yangtze River. After she became a monk, she was also a figure in the circle of Buddhism and Taoism. I visited people in the Buddhist and Taoist circles in the capital.Then someone knew that she was proficient in innate calculation, and it was inevitable that someone would come to her door.

Although Master Xuanyin made few shots, he was sure to hit every time. Therefore, not to mention the upper class, even the people in the capital knew the name of Master Xuanyin.

Therefore, Xing Xiuyan found out after a little inquiring, and couldn't help being overjoyed at the moment, and the next day found the Jingshui nunnery where Master Xuanyin had temporarily placed an order.

Master Xuanyin was a little puzzled when she heard that an old friend from Panxiang Temple was visiting. She is not a fairy, she knows who is visiting on a whim, and there is no need to make a fortune about it. At that moment, I immediately guessed what happened.

Master Xuanyin also had some sympathy for Xing Xiuyan. She is a clever girl, but unfortunately, with such parents, she listened to what Xing Xiuyan was about to encounter in the quiet room. Xing Xiuyan lowered her head, somewhat Pinching the hem of his clothes uneasily, he said in a low voice, "I really have no other choice, and I have nowhere to go. Apart from you, I really don't know who else can help me!"

Master Xuanyin sighed too much. Logically speaking, marriage is nothing more than the order of parents and the words of a matchmaker. However, a father who is unkind will sell his daughter to be a concubine for money. A daughter is not reconciled. It is reasonable to run away directly.

Mrs. Xuanyin was also surprised that Xing Xiuyan did not encounter any twists and turns along the way, which is enough to show that Xing Xiuyan's fate is not bad, so she pondered for a while and said, "Although it is understandable for you to leave home, but if the news spread When you go to Gusu, look for it from your family, they are parents after all, even the government can't make decisions for you!"

Xing Xiuyan didn't say anything, just knelt down, "I also ask my teacher to give me an idea!"

Master Xuanyin laughed lightly, "People value self-help, and then God helps them! You have earned a way out for yourself. Although I am an outsider, I am willing to give you some convenience!"

Master Xuanyin thought too much about Princess Fengguo and Princess Changning whom he had met before, and immediately had an idea. These two princesses are people with ideas. Although they don't shout slogans, they still want to It is a different path for women in the world.Since Empress Wu Zetian was born, those men no longer allow women to touch the edge of power. If they want to break the current situation, they don't know how much they need to pay. Therefore, the two princesses are nothing more than beating the side drums. A woman's path that can change her destiny.

As an outsider, Master Xuanyin is naturally helpless in many things, at most she will keep Xing Xiuyan as a registered disciple and protect Xing Xiuyan for a while, but those two princesses can give Xing Xiuyan a way to settle down.

Therefore, Master Xuanyin said, "Before I brought Miaoyu to the capital, it was because of Princess Fengguo's mansion. Now, Princess Fengguo's mansion recruits female officials all the year round. If there are women who feel that they have some talents, they can come and recommend themselves!"

Now Keqing actually also has the task of recruiting Fengyu. After all, Fengyu is married, and it would be inconvenient to find an unmarried girl by her side, so she still hangs with Keqing.

In this way, what is needed is naturally not only talents who are willing to farm, but also other people. Even after discussing with Ke Qing, Feng Yu also considered building a vocational school for girls in the future. Primary education is to teach literacy and arithmetic. Textile female celebrities, and then select those with special skills to learn various technical skills.

When Xing Xiuyan heard that Miaoyu was there, she immediately felt that she had a backbone, and directly expressed that she was willing to give it a try.

On the other side of the Xue family, Xue scorpion successfully blocked Mei Hanlin, canceled the marriage, and took back the token and marriage letter. Originally, they planned to visit the Xue Wang family and they would return to Jinling, but Xue Baoqin also heard about the selection of female officials by the princess mansion. For the matter, she said right away that she wanted to go too, why can only men look down on women when they are so prosperous, she also wants to prove to others that women are not tools that they can grab benefits and then throw away at will!
