[Red Mansions] Why does Xiaoye want to whitewash
Chapter 121
"That's because you have high vision, aunt. Otherwise, based on our family background and Baochai's character, those who want to propose marriage have broken through the threshold!"
Wang Xifeng said this to save face, but although there are indeed many people who have come to Xue's family to propose marriage for such a long time, how can she be satisfied!That's why Wang Xue was frowning.
"You and Lian'er can be trusted by me, and the young master of the Zhang family is so promising. I am satisfied with such a marriage..." Xue Wang's face was full of satisfaction, and her eyes were full of tenderness when she looked at Wang Xifeng.
Although my aunt is usually very kind to them, it is the first time that she has been so close to them. Wang Xifeng felt relieved, so she said: "Auntie doesn't have to rush to make a decision. You can also ask Baochai's opinion. The Zhang family said If we agree, they will choose a date after Chunwei to come and propose marriage, so we can't delay the imperial examination, don't you think?"
"This is as it should be, or you are thoughtful."
The compliments were sent out as if they didn’t want money. The smile on Wang Xifeng’s face remained the same, and he said a few words modestly, then said: “I know, aunt, you have been worrying about your cousin’s marriage. You see, our second master met in the capital. There are so many people, why don't you ask him to help you see if there are any better ones, at least you can control your cousin and save you from worrying, what do you think?"
When Wang Xue heard this, she looked at her niece excitedly, "But is there a suitable candidate?"
"That's not true. My cousin is the heir of the Xue family. Naturally, I have to communicate with you, aunt, and I can't make decisions on my own." Wang Xifeng paid attention to the expression on the aunt's face, and said: "My niece feels that although my cousin is a bit willful , his nature is not bad, so thinking about Auntie, you feel sorry for him, why don't you find a good wife, maybe you will take care of him."
"It's still Feng girl, you know my aunt well, everyone thinks he is not a good person, but Pan'er is really considerate and selfless to me and Baochai, I also want to discipline, but every time I think of them being so young and losing their father, I just can't bear to part with it in my heart..." As she spoke, tears seemed to be about to fall.
Wang Xifeng hurriedly handed over a handkerchief, and coaxed: "Look, didn't I come to talk about a happy event today? Don't cry, or my cousin and cousin will find out and blame the niece!"
"Auntie is crying with joy." Xue Wang wiped her eyes with a handkerchief. Although the circles of her eyes were still red, she did not shed any more tears.
Clapping Wang Xifeng's hand, he said: "Then you and Lian'er will take care of your cousin's affairs. Thank you, aunt."
"We'll keep that in mind."
However, Wang Xifeng said that it doesn't matter to let the Xue family consider it. When the Xue family came to visit within two days, the Xue Wang family told them that they agreed to the marriage, and then Wang Xifeng was the middleman. Zhang Xiujin's wife went to the Xue family to exchange. Got a token.
Everyone in the Jia family knew about this matter, and everyone in the Jia family was convinced of Jia Lian's ability to protect the media. What's more, the candidates they showed the girls were very reliable, which is very rare.
During the Chinese New Year, the Zhang family and the Xue family began to formally walk around, giving each other gifts, and this year the Xue family alone gave Jia Lian and his wife a richer gift than in previous years, which made Wang Xifeng, who had been busy for a long time, feel very comfortable.
Not long after the New Year, it was Chunwei. According to Jia Zhu, the past few days have been much warmer than when he took the exam, but the Zhang brothers stayed in the south all the year round, so it must be difficult to adapt to the exam room.
During the few days of the exam, Jia Lian would take time to go to Zhang's house to see if there was any need for help. Fortunately, both of them were in good health, and at the end of the day, they were not to the extent that Jia Zhu was bedridden.
For this reason, Jia Lian also laughed at Jia Zhu Yitong again, after all, he gave up the first spring because of illness.Jia Zhu had nothing to say about this, so he could only let him tease him, but then he asked the children's martial arts master to give them extra lessons, which made the children complain unceasingly.
Jia Lian just watched with a smile. In the eyes of the children, he seemed to be more talkative than Jia Zhu. Compared with Jia Zhu, who was a little stricter, he was more willing to talk to him about anything, including Jia Lan.
It's just that they all don't know that he is the one with the worst heart, and Jia Zhu is the one who is the one who is responsible for blinding several pairs of innocent eyes.
After the palace examination, all the Zhang family brothers were admitted to Jinshi. Zhang Xiuqi got good grades. He got No.8 in the exam when he was a teenager. He was the youngest among the top ten. For a while, many people in the capital were asking about it. his news.
Aunt Xue was very nervous about this, but she couldn't go to Zhang's house to ask, so she could only come to Rongguo Mansion to try it out with Wang Xifeng.Jia Lian didn't go out that day, and didn't give much comfort when he saw him, so he directly invited them to watch the Jinshi parade together at that time.
"I've already booked a private room. My sister-in-law of the Zhang family will also bring the children, and my aunt will go there with her cousins." After speaking, the corners of her lips curled up again, and she said with a smile: "My cousin can also prepare A flower, when Xiu Qi arrives and throws it to him, he will definitely be happy."
Xue Wang smiled and said happily, "I'll let Baochai make a silk flower with my own hands when I go back!"
Wang Xifeng was listening, and asked Jia Lian, "Baochai made it himself, what if I can't receive it?"
"No." Jia Lian directly denied this possibility, "My cousin has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his skills are still good. We will see if Baochai can throw it more accurately."
"That must be possible."
When the person left with peace of mind, Wang Xifeng suddenly said: "It's not my aunt's uneasiness. The marriage has not been formally settled, and Xiu Qi did so well in the exam. There must be a better choice."
"The Zhang family won't go back on their word." Besides, there may not be a better choice. Many people should still wait and see, after all, no one knows whether the emperor will still hold grudges for what happened back then.
Therefore, the reason why Zhang's uncle did not resolutely oppose Xiu Qi's proposal to marry Xue Baochai must have considered this point, otherwise, didn't they know that Xiu Qi's grades would be good?
Everyone must have their own plans, and Jia Lian has no doubts about it.Therefore, rather than believing in the character of the Zhang family, it is better to say that the marriage between the Zhang and Xue families is beneficial to each other.
On the day of the parade, Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng took the children of the family to join in the fun, but Jia's mother and others did not go. Their relationship with the Zhang family is there. I didn't think about trying to ease it, but I didn't stop the children. interact with each other.
It was the first time for Daiyu and Lin Ke to watch Jinshi Parade. Seeing that the first three people wearing Jinshi uniforms looked completely different from those behind them, they whispered: "Daddy must have been so majestic back then."
Jia Lan nodded beside him, and said, "My father was already very powerful back then, and my uncle was a Tanhua Lang back then, so he must be even more powerful!"
The two siblings showed proud smiles, but when mentioning her father, Daiyu couldn't stop thinking about her, and she was in no mood to continue looking at it for a while.
Baochai really made a silk flower with her own hands, but she and Zhang Xiuqi hadn't formally engaged yet, so she was a little shy for a while, if Aunt Xue hadn't pushed her to the window and met Zhang Xiuqi's eyes, maybe everyone would have passed by.
They were all here, even though she was still a little ashamed, Baochai still raised her hand, waved it a little, and threw it down.
Zhang Xiuqi had been waiting for a long time. When he saw her movement, he kept staring at the silk flower. When it fell nearby, he stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and then kicked it into his arms without any hesitation, without the hairpin on his head. superior.
From the beginning of the action of the two, the others watched, and when they saw the silk flower being received, they all exclaimed teasingly, making Xue Baochai's face blushing all the time.
It's rare for everyone to come out, the restaurant Jia Lian ordered also has signature dishes, and he didn't rush to leave, so he directly invited everyone to have a meal here.It's just that the female relatives took the children in the private room, while Jia Lian and Xue Pan went to the lobby outside.
The consumption of this restaurant is in this era, basically only dignitaries and nobles come here, so when two people are eating in the lobby, people they know well will come to say hello from time to time, and then they simply find a big table to sit together, Those who come are not afraid.
It takes a long time for a group of people to sit together chatting and drinking. After Jia Lian and Xue Pan sent all their friends away, they asked the women in the private room upstairs to come out. Rongguo Mansion.
And the Xue family didn't wait too long, the Zhang family formally offered the job after the Spring Festival, because Zhang Xiuqi was not too young, although he was reluctant to give up, the wedding date was still set after Baochai and Jiji next year.
Zhang Xiuqi will stay in the Shuchang Hall to study, while Zhang Xiujin will be released, but there will be a period of vacation for Jinshi to go back to their hometown to worship their ancestors. The two brothers will bring their families and prepare to go back to their hometown.
Jia Lian took Xue Pan to see off the people, and the servants were carrying luggage to the boat, and the four of them were talking at the pier.
"Cousin is gone, I don't know when we can meet again." Jia Lian felt a little bit sad, transportation is inconvenient in this day and age, and both of them have official positions, presumably unless one day Zhang Xiujin can return to Beijing to report on his duties, they There is no chance to see you again.
Zhang Xiujin patted Jia Lian on the shoulder and said, "When we go back this time, father and mother will definitely return to Beijing for Xiu Qi's marriage. Father will be very happy to see you. As for the two of us, there is no permanent feast in the world. Cousin is far away knowing that you are all well, and I am satisfied."
"Will grandma come?"
Zhang Xiujin shook his head, "Grandmother has not been in good health these past few years, and my parents won't rest assured that she will travel long distances for the elderly. My job is not far from my hometown, and I plan to take my grandmother there to take care of her."
If both uncle and aunt come back to Beijing, there is really no way for the old man to be at ease in his hometown alone. It is just what Zhang Xiujin said, "Does it mean that uncle and aunt will also go to cousin's side?"
"Yes." Zhang Xiujin glanced at his younger brother, and replied with a smile: "Only Xiuqi will stay in the capital, and I have to ask my cousin to take care of him when the time comes."
Wang Xifeng said this to save face, but although there are indeed many people who have come to Xue's family to propose marriage for such a long time, how can she be satisfied!That's why Wang Xue was frowning.
"You and Lian'er can be trusted by me, and the young master of the Zhang family is so promising. I am satisfied with such a marriage..." Xue Wang's face was full of satisfaction, and her eyes were full of tenderness when she looked at Wang Xifeng.
