Red House Reorganization Family

Lin Daiyu wanted to visit Jiang Wen to be polite, but Lin Ruhai thought that her daughter was still in the filial age, and she might feel sad when she went to visit the person who would become a stepmother in the future, so she sent someone to Jiang Wen's house to apologize to them, Jiang Wen naturally could considerate.

Most of the members of the Lin family who came this time came to Jia Min's funeral before, but Lin Daiyu didn't know the old patriarch and Xu Hehua's mother and son, so they came out politely after being introduced by their father.

The rest of the Lin family didn't want to say anything to the little girl, but Xu Hehua couldn't help pulling Lin Daiyu to say some pity words. Her words were self-righteous and self-righteous, and some of them didn't sound so pleasing to the ears.

The aunt of Xu Hehua, the second room of the Tang family, is better at reading people's faces than she is. Seeing that Lin Daiyu's expression is not right, she immediately stepped forward and interrupted: "Lotus, girl Daiyu must be feeling unwell after traveling for several days. Don't drag her into talking."

When Xu Hehua heard this, she immediately looked at Lin Daiyu with empathy, and said distressedly: "Poor man, your little face is indeed a little pale, go back quickly, and find your sister Qiuwen and brother Pengcheng to accompany you when you are done." play."

Lin Daiyu only smiled politely, and said to her father again to the elders, then turned and left the main hall.

Xu Hehua kept looking at Lin Daiyu's back, her eyes flickered, and when she returned to the house later, she immediately pulled her daughter and son and said, "You two, remember to spend more time with sister Daiyu, you know?"

Qiuwen looked at her mother silently, and nodded slowly after a while.Wu Pengcheng didn't save face that much, he turned his head and refused, "I'm a boy, how can I play with girls? I'll be laughed at!"

"What do you know?" Xu Hehua lightly poked her son's head with her finger, and said in disdain, "Coaxing Mrs. Lin's daughter is of great benefit. Isn't Lin Chen an example?"

As soon as Qi Qiuwen heard her mother's words, she immediately stood in front of her younger brother, separated the two, and said solemnly: "Mother, it's wrong for you to teach my younger brother like this. If you do this again, I will tell my grandmother."

"You still taught your mother a lesson!" Xu Hehua pointed at her daughter's nose, becoming angry from embarrassment, but now this dead girl has no sense of existence when she is silent, but she has learned to complain, she can't do anything to others even if she is mad !

Wu Pengcheng has always stood in the united front with his sister, now he also showed his head from behind her sister, and said to his mother-in-law: "I will be in the exam like Big Brother Chen in the future, and I don't have time to play with girls!"

Qi Qiuwen turned her head to look at her younger brother appreciatively, stretched out her hand and patted it, and said, "Cheng Er, my sister will take you out to play." After speaking, the two siblings left the mother's house hand in hand, leaving Xu Hehua alone in the room Very irritable.

But how could she calm down so easily, she was not happy with her son and daughter at this time, so she went to the manager of the Lin family and asked him to prepare a carriage to take her to Jiang Wen's place.

And Jiang Wen, although he didn't understand why the widow had to stay at home after remarrying, but there were indeed many things at home. Xue and Xu contracted most of the things, but the relatives wanted Jiang Wen to receive them.

At this moment, she was receiving Ye Yunyi and Xue's mother and daughter at home. Even though her mother was busy with the wedding, she still didn't forget to be a matchmaker, so she urged Jiang Wen to invite Ye Yunyi over when she had a little spare time.

Ye Yunyi originally didn't want to come over to disturb her at this time, but Jiang Wen invited her, so she came as an appointment, and when Jiang Wen introduced her to the guests sitting in the room, she immediately reacted and directed at Xue's family. Compared with other people who met for the first time, the mother and daughter were a little closer.

The Xue family's status in Jinling is different from that of ordinary businessmen. The wives of officials, big and small, in Jinling will give her some face when they meet Wang Xue, so the mother and daughter of Xue's family will not be frightened because of who they see.At this time, talking to Ye Yunyi was very natural, and there was Xue Baochai, a smooth and easy-going girl, warming up the scene in the middle, so the atmosphere was naturally very harmonious.

Ye Yunyi only had three sons, and she said several times that she was envious of others having daughters. Now that she saw Xue Baochai, who was so thoughtful, she couldn't stop praising: "This child is really smart! Madam Xue is blessed!"

Wang Xue glanced at her daughter Baochai proudly, and said, "I'm not afraid of your jokes. My son makes me angry every day. Fortunately, such a caring daughter is finally comforting me. I'm just afraid that the family will not live up to expectations and delay my life." ruined her future..."

"Mom—" Xue Baochai comforted softly: "There are so many people in difficult situations in this world, and our family is not bad, so why bother to feel sorry for yourself? Just work hard to live well."

If the other family background is not as good as that of the Xue family, they might think she is hypocritical when they hear Wang Xue's words, but Ye Yunyi's natal family is still of good background, so she naturally knows that even the imperial merchants are looked down upon by many aristocratic families.

And Xue Baochai has always been the top lady among all the ladies in Jinling, she has not really seen the difference between her and the real official lady, even if she is vaguely aware of it, she still has a sense of arrogance in her heart.

Ye Yunyi is not disgusted with this kind of pride. She doesn't like girls who are timid and shy. For people like them, pride should be engraved in their bones. Obviously, Xue Baochai is more attractive than her mother.

But for Xue Wang, her daughter's performance is too sensible, which makes her even more unwilling to let Baochai's future fall behind due to some external factors.At this time, he hesitated and said: "The business at home needs to be inspected. I have been thinking about whether to let Baochai participate in the draft when I get to the capital... I didn't want to say it at this time to bother my cousin, but I have no one at home. People who negotiate, alas—"

Xue Baochai is used to everything, so it is natural to talk about the draft at this time, but it is still a bit inappropriate to say it in front of her daughter. Ye Yunyi lowered her eyes slightly, and Jiang Wen was Said to Xue Baochai: "Baochai, go to your aunt's place to play for a while, the two of them must be bored!"

Xue Baochai understood, stood up like a stream of kindness, bowed slightly to the three elders, and walked out.

Xue Wang's family is really undecided, Rongguo Mansion's niece Yuanchun is such a good girl, she was selected as a female official in the palace, she has no future for such a long time, let alone her daughter?She really loves her daughter, and she dare not make a decision lightly to delay her life.

Jiang Wen knew that Xue Wang's family was planning to go out to inspect the business, but now the servants around Xue Pan did not dare to condone Xue Pan after the strict orders of Xue Wang. He should not commit another crime, so he did not expect Xue Wang's There is also the idea of ​​bringing Xue Baochai to the Beijing draft.

The mother and daughter of the Xue family didn't know the purpose of today's visit, but Jiang Wen and Ye Yunyi knew it well. After considering it for a while, he said, "Baochai is still young, so don't be in a hurry. If there is any change in the situation in the future, maybe you don't have to worry about it?"

"Her brother doesn't live up to expectations. He will be old in two years. How can he not be in a hurry?"

In this era, boys and girls get married early, and Xue Baochai is a girl, so there is no delay. It is normal for Xue Wang to think so...

Just as Jiang Wen was thinking, the servants came to report that Xu Hehua had come. When she heard it, she could just temporarily divert the topic from the topic, so she reversed her impatience when she heard Xu Hehua's name before, and beckoned the servants to bring her in.

As soon as Xu Hehua came in, she saw two well-dressed and elegant ladies. Knowing their identities from Jiang Wen, her attitude became more enthusiastic. Hard-to-reach people are worth befriending.

But her emotional intelligence is so obvious in flattery that Jiang Wen couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart, can't she not show a little bit?She looked embarrassed for her.

However, considering that she was a relative of the Lin family, Ye Yunyi and Xue Wang were quite polite to Xu Hehua, but after all, her arrival made the atmosphere not as natural as before, and Ye Yunyi bid farewell not long after.

Jiang Wen tried to persuade her to stay for a while, and said to Mrs. Xue and Xu Hehua, "I'll give her off, and you can do it yourself."

Afterwards, Jiang Wen accompanied Ye Yunyi out of the main house, and was not in a hurry to see her off. They walked slowly around the small garden for a while, thinking about her mother's instructions, and dutifully asked: "What do you think of my cousin? "

"Not very scheming."

When Jiang Wen heard this, he gave her a thumbs up and praised: "You can see that people hit the nail on the head. On the contrary, it was my deceased cousin who didn't know how to grow his brain. He is really the most intelligent person in the Xue family. !"

However, regarding the legend of this cousin, Jiang Wen is also hearsay. Of course, among them, the Xue family contributed the most, and it is a pity every time it is mentioned. decline.

It's just that it doesn't matter now, Jiang Wen looked at Ye Yunyi, "My mother told me to ask you, is there any possibility?"

What Xue meant at the time was that if Ye Yunyi felt that it was inappropriate, she could make other plans in the future. After all, she was about to have a son-in-law who was inspecting the salt censor, and her connections must be much stronger than that of an old woman like her.

Jiang Wen didn't know what to say to her anymore, but middle-aged women were extremely lethal, and now as long as she didn't come to torment her, she didn't hesitate to pass on errands.

After hearing Jiang Wen's words, Ye Yunyi did not give an answer directly, but said: "I have never met Xue's son, why don't you tell me the truth, how will he behave?"

"Xue Pan is completely spoiled. That kid has not inherited his father's brain at all. He is also nicknamed 'Stupid King' outside. One can imagine his temper. The last time I went back to Jinling, I beat him up , Biao sister-in-law was more cruel to punish the servants around him, no one urged him, and he didn't cause any trouble during this time."

She didn't care about being a relative at all when she said this, Ye Yunyi nodded, and then asked: "Since you made a move, does he have any resentment?"

"That's not true, just avoid me." When I came to Yangzhou, except for the first time when I came to see him, Xue Wang said that Xue Pan was busy with family business, and Jiang Wen believed everything.

Even so, Ye Yunyi nodded again, and said, "I think we can make up, but the details can only be confirmed after I inform my aunt."

"It's natural."
