The day of engagement is approaching, Jiang Wen only gave You Tingyu a bracelet last time, thinking how she will become his future daughter-in-law, so he planned to take the time to go shopping and see if there is any suitable girl Bought something like a face for her.

Coincidentally, I received a greeting card from Xue Pan, saying that he came back from outside and came to visit the elders. Jiang Wen felt that he was really sleepy and came to give pillows, so when he came to the door, the smile on his face was very gentle.

Xue Pan didn't really want to see this aunt at first, but he had to come because of etiquette. Now when he saw her weird smile that was different from the previous meeting, he felt goosebumps all over his body, and he couldn't help it. The corner of her mouth twitched and she asked, "Auntie, are you feeling unwell?"

Jiang Wen rolled his eyes at him, and reached out his hand to signal him to drink tea, "Drink your tea, do you have anything to do later?"

Xue Pan didn't dare to drink tea, he only held the teacup and dared not make any big moves, "Nothing else, what do you need me to do, auntie? You just order it."

"That's just right. I want to go out and visit a jewelry store. Does your family have one? It's better to let Xue's earn money than to let others earn it."

"My aunt needs someone to send it over for you to choose for yourself. Besides, what kind of money do you need?" Xue Pan is extremely proud, and he really thinks that this is not bad. Some lose face.

However, Jiang Wen can't really take advantage of others. This is for his future daughter-in-law. Of course, he has to spend the money himself to show sincerity, so he said, "I'm not being polite to you. Just go out with me for a walk, and see what's interesting at home."

When Xue Pan heard it, what else could he say, and he immediately agreed.

Seeing him nodding, Jiang Wen continued to let him drink tea, "Don't say my aunt didn't treat you well, drink tea."

Xue Pan took a sip helplessly, then put it down, and said: "The shop also prepares good tea for the guests, and it's the same to drink there. If Aunt wants to see it, why not go now."

Jiang Wen was not polite to Xue Pan either, and the two of them went out and got into the Xue family's carriage. The servants of the Xue family were extremely respectful when they saw Jiang Wen. After all, the legend of Jiang Wen was still circulating in the Xue family for many years.

Because her destination was very clear, Xue Pan ordered the coachman, and the carriage drove to Xue's jewelry shop.

"I buy things very quickly, and I'll pay if I like them. I won't let you accompany me for nothing today. My aunt invites you to dinner at noon. How about it?"

Xue Pan wanted to say that he didn't need the elders to invite him to dinner. Isn't this slapping Uncle Xue in the face?But then he realized that this person was not an ordinary person, so he could only accept it, and let her arrange it whatever he wanted.

The jewelry shop of the Xue family is huge, and the shopkeeper personally greeted them as soon as they entered. Xue Pan waved at the shopkeeper, then turned to his aunt and asked, "Auntie, should I go to the private room to look at the shopkeeper first?"

"Is there any difference?"

“The ones downstairs are cheaper and more common.”

Since it was to be given away, and Youjia is not a small family, Jiang Wen naturally couldn't choose too bad, so he said: "Then go to the private room."

Xue Pan nodded, and said to the shopkeeper, "Someone take us upstairs."

When the owner came, the shopkeeper naturally had to entertain him in person, he ordered the waiter to make tea, and after a few more instructions, he came to the private room in person, and asked respectfully: "Master, madam, what do you want to choose?" This kind of jewelry, let someone bring the small ones."

Xue Pan looked at his aunt, and Jiang Wen said with a smile, "It's for teenage girls. If you have any styles, bring them here and let me have a look."

Jiang Wen also generally knows that the price of some jewelry with particularly good materials and workmanship is extremely high. If she didn't have Lin Ruhai's money in hand, how could she say so casually.

But when she chose a set of masks and knew the price, she was still taken aback, and couldn't help sighing, no wonder everyone said that the Xue family was rich, and the business was extremely profitable.

"Auntie, if you want it, you don't have to pay for it..."

Jiang Wen waved his hand and reluctantly refused: "If you have the heart, you can give my aunt a better price, and I can't make you lose it." Then, pointing to a suit that is very suitable for Daiyu, he said: "I will count this together too. Let's go."

Seeing her distressed expression, Xue Pan's tone was unquestionable. After holding back a smile, he said to the shopkeeper's righteous words: "This is the aunt of the Xue family, so I will give you a preferential price."

Although the shopkeeper didn't know that this lady was the aunt of the Xue family, after the uncle said so, he immediately nodded and gave a new price. Jiang Wen heard it and said: "Then I will ask someone to give you the money later." You send it over."

It was impossible for Jiang Wen to go out with such a large amount of money, Xue Pan wanted to give it to her directly, and naturally he didn't care when to pay, so the two of them left the shop with two sets of hoods.

After agreeing to invite Xue Pan to dinner, Jiang Wen gave the head and face to the servants, and asked them to take it back first, and then paid the bill from Lin Er's housekeeper, but she raised a little bit when talking about the price, and relatives could not Let people lose money in business.

After explaining, he looked at Xue Pan and asked, "Where do you want to eat, Pan'er?"

"Is it the first time for Auntie to go shopping? You decide."

When Jiang Wen heard this, he couldn't help but hooked his lips into a smile, and praised: "Pan'er, you are amazing, and now you are so good at it? Then I can't waste your heart..." So he thought for a while, and said: "This capital city There should be a restaurant that many scholars go to, right? The two of us go there to eat."

Xue Pan was noncommittal, but he never went to that kind of place. He really didn't know where there was a good place to go, so he asked someone to go in and ask the shopkeeper. He found the nearest restaurant, and then drove there.

This is a place frequented by scholars, and the decorations inside are extremely elegant. Jiang Wen is now influenced by the Lin family, and his appreciation level has also increased a little. Looking at the paintings and calligraphy hanging on the wall, he can tell whether they are good or bad. up.

Xiaoer came to greet them, Xue Pan wanted to go to the private room upstairs, but when he asked, it was already full, he was a little unhappy, his face darkened.

"It's okay, just sit in the lobby." Jiang Wen said to Xiao Er with grateful eyes: "Find us a quiet place."

"Okay, ma'am, please come inside."

When he was led to sit down, the waiter introduced the signature dishes of the restaurant. Jiang Wen saw that the names were poetic, so he didn't feel guilty, so he asked what they were.

Xiao Er introduced to the guests as usual, Jiang Wen asked Xue Pan for his opinion and ordered the dishes, then smiled and said: "The environment is different, so maybe the appetite will be different too?"

Xue Pan looked at the tall calligraphy and paintings hanging around him, curled his lips and said, "It is said that these scholars are noble, but let their noble things be smoked by smoke, and I don't know how elegant they can be."

When Jiang Wen heard this, he patted the winking boy, and said in a low voice: "Although I also think that those calligraphy and paintings must be stained with the smell of food, but let's just think about it in our hearts, don't say this in other people's places. Kind of like finding fault."

Xue Pan just casually said that he was not ignorant of his aunt's teachings, so he naturally listened to them.Fortunately, the food in this restaurant tasted really good, and he ate quite happily.

Jiang Wen ordered a pot of the so-called "Zhuangyuan Red", and sipped it when he was almost done eating, and listened to some scholars talking about "Zhihu Zhe Ye" there.

"Brother Ding, that Lin Zifei you mentioned, I saw it last time when I participated in the literary conference, it doesn't seem like what you said..."

Zifei is Lin Chen's character, and Lin Ruhai obtained it for him in advance, so when they heard the word "Lin Zifei", Jiang Wen and Xue Pan looked over it one after another.

There were three young men wearing scholar's robes on the table. The material of the clothes seemed to be of good family background. At this moment, the man with his back to them said in a disdainful tone: "You know the face, but you don't know the heart. You can see what you look like!"

"This..." The scholar in blue clothes was puzzled and said, "Brother Ding, what's the inside story?"

"Didn't I tell you last time? That kid was originally a child of the Lin family. Later, her mother remarried to Master Lin, the inspector of salt and censor Lin, and was taught by Master Lin wholeheartedly. Otherwise, what do you think he is doing?" Can you pass the Jinshi exam at this age?"

"Anything like that?"

The scholar surnamed Ding said firmly: "Of course, the Xunyan Yushi was born in Tanhualang, and he is also the son-in-law of the Rongguo Mansion!"

At this time, Xue Pan heard that they were gossiping about Lin Chen, and immediately got up, but Jiang Wen pressed his shoulders, "Calm down."

"What luck!"

"Better luck is yet to come! Because of his stepfather, he was able to get advice from the old man Youjia when he came to the capital, but now the Lin family is actually negotiating with Youjia! I don't know if he used some means to get it." Miss Youjia's blue eyes..."

"Really?"

"That's still fake, if it's not true, it won't be spread..."

Xue Pan looked angry, stared at those people and said to his aunt: "Should we just let them talk nonsense?"

"Then what are you going to do?" Jiang Wen looked at Xue Pan with very cold eyes, and said, "We don't know their identities, so don't cause trouble impulsively."

"Auntie! You weren't so cowardly when you beat me up!" Xue Pan couldn't accept it very much, and said angrily, "The Xue family is one of the four major families. Are you still afraid of them?!"

"Know what!" Seeing his voice getting louder, Jiang Wen poked his head with his hand, and said, "Don't scare people with the four big families, the four big families are not the kings of heaven! Back then I knew you were Xue Pan I just beat you straight up!"

Xue Pan choked, then straightened his head with a bit of disappointment and said: "Then let them slander Lin Chen? They also framed the relationship between my cousin and Miss Youjia! Auntie, you mother-in-law just endure it like this?"

"When did I say I can bear it?" Jiang Wen let go of Xue Pan's hand and said, "I just saw you looking like you were going to fight and let you calm down!"

Jiang Wen was suppressing Xue Pan's mindless fighting spirit, while the man surnamed Ding was talking nonsense: "That Lin Zifei is the most scheming person, and he tried his best to please the Shangguan in the Imperial Academy. If you want me to say that this kind of person If you come out in the future, aren’t you just a person who is trying to catch fame?”

"Brother Ding, do you even know anything about the Imperial Academy?"

Before the man could reply, he suddenly heard a female voice behind him, "I'm also very curious, why does this young master know about the affairs of the Imperial Academy, and so arrogantly frames the imperial court officials, I wonder which family he is from? "
