The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 435 Make another appointment with Zijin Street

【Run and walk~】

However, when Aunt Xue and Baochai learned of the unreasonable demands of the Mei family, they were also very angry.

Aunt Xue complained a few words first, and then said worryingly: "The old lady has been treating girl Qin like a baby these two days, and she is going to let your aunt recognize her as a goddaughter. Let's move out at this time. what happened?"

Compared with her mother, Xue Baochai was obviously calmer, and quickly analyzed the motives of the Mei family for doing so, and said helplessly: "It's because we didn't think carefully before, and Mei Hanlin is said to be a very square person, about I don't like the recent reviews of the Rongguo Mansion, so..."

Hearing that her daughter seemed to want to excuse the Mei family, Aunt Xue couldn't help but frowned slightly: "Then it's up to you?"

"This matter mainly depends on what Xue Biao thinks—I think what he means is probably because he doesn't want to quarrel with the Mei family. After all, Baoqin will still be the daughter-in-law of the Mei family."

Aunt Xue also agreed with Baochai's judgment, but what should the old lady do?

Baochai thought for a while, and then suggested: "How about this, tomorrow you can take Xue Biao to the old house on Zijin Street, and have a face-to-face talk with Mei Hanlin and his wife—no matter how anxious he is, the matter is not trivial. It will stop every day.”

"Baoqin's side doesn't need to be in a hurry to move. When the old lady is fresh and the two families are almost ready, it won't be too late to pick her up and go to Zijin Street to get married."

"Hey~"

Aunt Xue sighed: "That's the only way to go."

If it was her own children, she would have to discuss the marriage if she couldn't say it.

But Baoqin is a niece after all, not to mention the death of Xue Biao's father, even if she is angry as an aunt, she can't intervene too much on her behalf.

"That's the second thing."

Baochai reminded again: "Big brother must be taken care of there. If he really wants to make him do something stupid, then the in-laws will become enemies. What face do we have to see the second aunt and the second brother under Jiuquan?" uncle?
"Extremely extreme, but please don't let your brother mess up!"

As Aunt Xue said, she walked back and forth in the room for a few steps, but couldn't help wondering: "If we were at home, it would be easy to handle, but now who can restrain him? Or... I will first Move back to live?"

But Baochai didn't agree with this method: "Even if Mom moves back, the birthday is not over yet, so you won't show up in the next few days? Besides, if the Zijin Street is really busy, you will inevitably show up. "

"where……"

Seeing that her proposal was rejected, Aunt Xue had no choice but to look at her daughter expectantly.

Xue Baochai was also entangled, thinking for a long time before saying: "If it doesn't work, let's find a reason to let my brother go out of Beijing, for example, let him go to inspect the shops everywhere - logically, he should have been familiar with these things long ago."

Although Aunt Xue was reluctant to let her son run around outside, but the two evils were the lesser of two evils, she could only bear her heartache and nodded in agreement.

After the mother and daughter set the rules, they were preparing to strike while the iron was hot, and then concocted a route that was not too far and not too close, which would allow Xue Pan to stay outside for enough time without causing him to work too hard.

I don't want Mrs. Wang to send Caixia suddenly, saying that she has good news to tell Aunt Xue.

Aunt Xue thought it was a matter of taking Baoqin to be her daughter, but when she hurried to the main room, Mrs. Wang asked in relief, "Guess who I saw just now?"

Aunt Xue: "Who?"

Mrs. Wang laughed and said, "Mrs. Xia—that's the wife of Osmanthus Xia's family! Not only did she not dislike Wen Long, but she also hinted that we should come to propose marriage as soon as possible!"

"really?!"

Aunt Xue couldn't help being overjoyed when she heard the words, and recited Amitabha several times in succession.

Xue Pan's marriage was originally her biggest heart disease, but Xue Pan was involved in the heart disease incident a while ago, and her reputation further declined.

Under such circumstances, the Xia family is still willing to marry their only child, which is really great news.

But Aunt Xue thought about it again, and suddenly became embarrassed again. It stands to reason that since the Xia family offered to hand over the ladder at this time, the Xue family should hurry up and climb along the ladder.

But the problem is that because of the Mei family's affairs, I was about to let Xue Pan go out of Beijing to avoid it.

now……

Mrs. Wang didn't notice her dilemma for a moment, and she laughed again: "It's Wen Long who strives for success. I heard that he spoke clearly and wisely in public when the imperial merchants gathered, which made Mrs. Xia make up her mind to pursue this marriage! "

"I see."

Aunt Xue suddenly realized that Baochai had hoped that Xue Pan would change her reputation during this imperial business gathering so that she could marry a well-matched girl back home—although the Xia family is also an imperial merchant, it is still inferior to the Xue family. More than one file.

It was precisely because of such thoughts that he did not take the initiative to contact the Xia family at the beginning.

It's just that before Xue Pan showed his face, he would lose his face. The Xia family would naturally become the best choice.

After listening to Mrs. Wang's praise of Xue Pan's progress recently, Aunt Xue smiled helplessly and said: "You don't know how much he weighs? Brother Shun taught those words, and no one has learned about the New Political Science and Engineering. Can be more clear than brother Shun."

"Jiao Shun taught it?"

Mrs. Wang frowned slightly, and asked casually, "Why would he meddle in this matter?"

"This……"

Aunt Xue said hesitantly: "Of course I asked for it - because my sister wanted to avoid suspicion at that time, so I made an appointment to meet at the old house on Zijin Street."

She hesitated and hesitated because she remembered Jiao Shun's gift of wood carvings.

But Mrs. Wang misunderstood, she thought to herself, no wonder my younger sister noticed Jiao Shun's wolf ambition in advance, and she deliberately slipped her mouth in front of her, but it turned out that there was such a thing in private.

She felt "suddenly", and urged: "Since this is the case, let's not miss Xia's family. You have to make preparations in the past few days, and when the old lady's birthday is over, you should settle the marriage as soon as possible—" —It’s best to get married at the end of the year, when the elder brother gets married, the younger sister can get married, right?”

Aunt Xue was conflicted, but she also knew that the Mei family had a grudge against the Rongguo Mansion, so it was not good for Mrs. Wang to know.

So he had no choice but to agree first, and went back to his room to find Baochai to make up his mind.

But Baochai was in trouble for a while after hearing the cause and effect.

Entrusted by her aunt, Baoqin's marriage is of course not to be missed. Considering her brother's current reputation, being able to marry Miss Xia's family is also a good thing that is hard to find even with a lantern. If you miss this village, there is no such shop. up!
After thinking about it for a while, she could only evade the important point and said lightly in the end: "Brother is so angry for a while, it may not be true—let's find out the pros and cons first, and then mention the Xia family's..."

Speaking of this, she hesitated for a while, and then said: "Let's say that Miss Xia's appearance, talent and learning are similar to that of Sister Lin. At that time, my brother will naturally take care of it. At this time, Yue Mo will not be able to care about nonsense."

"That's all it takes."

Aunt Xue was still a little worried, but compared to her son's marriage, taking some risks was nothing.

Immediately afterwards, Baochai said: "Besides, this time it was due to brother Jiao's help. Otherwise, brother would not be able to win the lottery, and there would be no such thing as Mrs. Xia's initiative to propose marriage—not to mention that he has been promoted to the altar wine now." , we should get closer to the Jiao family often, so as to live up to the friendship between my mother and Aunt Laiwang since childhood."

After a pause, he suggested: "In my opinion, Mom might as well prepare a big gift for him, just in time for his family to get tiles. It's both a thank you gift and a congratulatory gift, and it's just as generous as it is."

This is a normal human relationship.

Aunt Xue was about to nod her head when she heard the words, but a flash came to her mind that on the day of Jia Mu's birthday, Jiao Shun said that she would give her another gift.

For a moment her heart was beating wildly, and she didn't know why she blurted out: "Since it's a generous gift, it's better to be in a hurry to meet people's needs. Why, why don't I ask him to meet him on Zijin Street tomorrow, and ask him about his house?" What's missing in the new house, wouldn't it be appropriate for us to help fill it in?"

Seeing that her mother was rarely thoughtful, Xue Baochai naturally had no objections.

but……

"Why did mother stumble when she spoke?"

"W-Where is there..."

Being noticed by her daughter, Aunt Xue's heart was in her throat, and she wanted to deny it, but her tongue couldn't control her, so she could only sneer and say, "It's just, I accidentally bit my tongue just now, I'm afraid you're worried, that's why I said Did not say."

Xue Baochai vaguely saw that there was something hidden, but after thinking about it, she thought that Aunt Xue was regretting that she hadn't been engaged to the Jiao family back then.

There was no further questioning at the moment.

Only then did Aunt Xue breathe a sigh of relief, but she felt ashamed immediately.

Secretly thought that he was getting old, but why did he keep getting confused again and again?

If He Shun brother has something...

How do I face my dead husband under the nine springs?
How should I face the children who are about to get married?
The more Aunt Xue thought about it, the more she regretted and blamed herself, but the more she regretted, the more she blamed herself, the more restless her heart was, the more Aunt Xue's palms were irritated, her chest was hot, and her face was swollen.

So much so that the words of regret came to his lips, but he couldn't open his mouth no matter what.

…………

This afternoon.

After seeing off the last group of guests, Jiao Shun was watching his daughter with his eyes closed, when he suddenly got a message from Xue's family, saying that he was invited to talk about things at the old house on Zijin Street after the office tomorrow night.

Jiao Shun remembered that when he teased Aunt Xue earlier, although she hadn't responded positively, she hadn't firmly refused either, obviously her heart had relaxed a little, so she was gearing up to take the opportunity to go further.

But when Xing Xiuyan heard him explain that Minger would go to Zijin Street for an appointment, and probably wouldn't come back for dinner in the evening, Xing Xiuyan stopped talking.

Jiao Shun naturally understood why she was like this, and thought that since Qixi designed the Miaoyu, nearly a month had passed, and it was time to go and check the results.

It would be best if we can have double happiness, but if not, we can make some foreshadowing.

After some shameless calculations, he sighed: "Forget it, you don't have to be embarrassed. I'll go to that temple to have a look again. I don't know the blessings that fake nun has cultivated for several generations, but I know you. A friend in need."

As he said that, he suddenly pecked Xing Xiuyan's face again, and said with a smile: "But I am the most blessed one."

"Father~"

Seeing how considerate her uncle was, Xing Xiuyan was so touched that she rested her head on Jiao Shun's shoulder, got up again after a while, took out a string of Buddhist beads made of agarwood and jade from the makeup box, and handed it to Jiao Shun: "Her temper, I'm afraid I may not be willing to accept the kindness of the master, this string of beads..."

As she said that, she couldn't help sighing again: "She gave me a bunch of similar ones before, but unfortunately they pawned them off to make up for money before going to Beijing. I asked Siqi to buy this bunch of new ones—my lord just said If it is returned to its original owner, she will probably accept it."

Although this string of Buddha beads doesn't look very valuable, it shouldn't be a problem to change it for a dozen taels of silver, so Jiao Shun's plan will be disrupted a bit.

But seeing Xing Xiuyan put so much effort into it, how could he bear to refuse?

Not to mention that the plan was disrupted, even if Miaoyu took the money as money and flew away, so what?
Immediately took the bracelet over and sighed: "It's really hard to bother you so much."

Then she couldn't help complaining: "It's obvious that she has brought it on herself, we are rushing to help now, and we have to take care of her face, and let her take advantage of all the cheap things in the world!"

"It's all my fault. I've made my father feel wronged."

"It's not a grievance, but I have to charge some interest."

As Jiao Shun said, he wrapped Xing Xiuyan in his arms.

Xing Xiuyan was out of breath from being held by him, and struggled hurriedly: "No way, the full moon has not yet passed, don't be picky, sir! Let's wait until tomorrow..."

"Why didn't you pass?"

Jiao Shun sniffed at it like a dog, and argued, "Zhixia was born during the day, so it's already a full moon. Since she's a full moon, we should be consummated."

Xing Xiuyan couldn't hold him back, and only waited for a half-push and half-satisfaction, but she was concerned about her daughter being at the side, so she shyly said: "Then, don't stay in this room."

Hearing this, Jiao Shun picked her up and went to the north room without saying a word.

…………

evening.

When Mei Hanlin returned home, he heard that someone from Xue's family had sent a post, so he quickly opened it to examine it carefully.

Seeing that although the above did not say when to move out of Rongguo Mansion, but proposed to meet at the old house on Zijin Street, Mei Hanlin was generally satisfied with this.

However, he was not very satisfied with the time of the above-mentioned "one narration in the afternoon". The Imperial Academy has been clamoring for a collective letter in the past two days, imploring the emperor to withdraw the order to establish the engineering college. Why is he absent at this time?

Besides, if it is known that he is going to see his in-laws in the Rongguo Mansion, won't it affect his future?
Mei Hanlin put the post on the table and pondered for a while, then ordered the steward: "Go to Zijin Street again and tell Xue's family that I have work to do tomorrow, and I'm afraid I won't be able to go to the appointment until nightfall."

The steward respectfully responded, and was about to go down to arrange the manpower when he suddenly realized and asked in surprise, "Master, isn't Mr. Xue in Rongguo Mansion?"

"so what?"

Mei Hanlin's complexion darkened, and he scolded: "Our family is married to the Xue family, what does it have to do with the Rongguo Mansion? In the future, if there is anything that needs to be communicated, you will only go to Xue's house on Zijin Street!"

The manager was busy and agreed, and went down to make arrangements obediently.

So the news was sent to Zijin Street first, but because of the curfew on Zijin Street, the news was not delivered to Rongguo Mansion in time.

By the time Aunt Xue got the news, it was already noon the next day...
