Red House Shoufu

Chapter 146
Suffering in adversity made Xue Baochai more mature than his peers.

Lin Shu agrees with Wang Huan that there are many people who are born intelligent, but not many can turn intelligence into excellence.Isn't Jia Baoyu the most obvious example?
He opened his mouth and said: "The Xue family has finally overcome the difficulties. With the prince standing behind, even the Zhongxin Palace will not dare to reach out easily."

If Prince Zhongxin dared to snatch food from Gao Yongheng's bowl, the soldiers of Prince Zhongshun would dare to attack the door.I don't know how many times this kind of thing happened in the capital, even the Supreme Emperor couldn't do anything about this son.

"Speaking of this Xue Biao, I recalled an old incident. The daughter of the second wife of the Xue family had a marriage contract with the son of Mei Runan, the Mei editor of the Imperial Academy. At that time, Mei Runan had not yet won the first place, and his father happened to be a Jurong Commander. , the Mei family is from the Jurong family. When we got engaged, my father took me to congratulate me."

Wang Huan suddenly remembered the past. During these days, he had a lot of interactions with Mei Runan in the Imperial Academy.Mei Wenhe, the son of Mei Runan, was fourteen years old, and was selected as a scholar last year. He is regarded as a young talent.

But there was one thing that made him a little strange. There were rumors in the Hanlin Academy that the Mei family was looking around, wanting to tell Mei Wenhe a good marriage.

"Could it be that the Mei family has divorced the Xue family?"

Wang Huan expressed his doubts, Jia Lian and Lin Shu both shook their heads.It is estimated that no one knows about this except the Xue family.

If Xue Baoqin's father is still there, the Xue family is rich, and Xue's father has an errand to find rare treasures for the royal family, how can the Mei family withdraw their marriage.

But now there are only orphans and widows left in the Xue family, and Mei Runan has entered the Hanlin Academy again.Even if it's just for seniority, in the future, at worst, he can be a fifth-rank magistrate.

Back then, in order to take advantage of the four major families, they got engaged to the second wife of the Xue family.Now that the Xue family is not as good as before, the Mei family may have the intention of destroying their relatives.

Lin Shu frowned and reminded Jia Lian: "Second Brother Lian, about the matter of the Xue family, you should remind Miss Xue after you go back. If the Mei and Xue families had divorced early, that's all. If not, the character of the Mei family is a bit embarrassing. .Since the prince wants to use Xue Biao to do things, he can't let people of this character get involved."

Jia Lian nodded in response, the wind and rain in the capital was at its most critical moment, and any slight flaw could be exploited by the enemy.

The three of them sighed for a while, using the matter of the Xue family to lament that every family has a hard-to-recite scripture.

……

Xue Baochai quietly returned to the Jinxiu Garden, calmed down, and continued to play with Yingchun and others.

Although it was a flower viewing feast, but the weather was hot, most of the people in the garden were divided into several small circles to play independently.

For example, Yingchun and the others are in the circle, and they are all close to each other.

Among them are Sanchun from Ningrong and Rongfu, Wang Yuan from the Lin family temporarily, Xiangyun and Xianglan from the Shi family, Xue Baochai from the Xue family, Chen family from the Qi government, Ma family from the Zhiguo government, and Wei from the general Yunhui residence. Waiting for some girls at home.

Concubine Cui and Cui Liushi have been indifferent to Daiyu for a long time, and the wives next to her ordered her to compliment her, saying that she might as well accept her as a goddaughter.A group of people are all good people, and there is no way to see Princess Cui's plan.

My family is inferior to being loyal to the palace, and I am not qualified to marry the Rongjia county head who is treated differently by the emperor.

Seeing that Concubine Cui has even found a matchmaker, and Daiyu, who is a top choice in terms of background, appearance, character and knowledge, has no fate with them, a sour feeling suddenly came to her heart.

If I had known that the flower viewing banquet in Prince Zhongshun's mansion was for them to eat lemons, they wouldn't come if they were killed.

……

When the guests gradually left, Lin Shu and the other three waited in the front yard to pick them up.

"His Royal Highness, I'll just wait here. You've been tired all day, so you don't need to be with me..."

Lin Shu only felt that the eldest son standing beside him was an eyesore. This guy kept looking in the direction of Jinxiu Garden, his intentions were too obvious.

Gao Wanjiang was really tired after a busy day.But what is the purpose of his poetry meeting? Isn't it just to get in touch with the Lin family.

It's a pity that men and women are different, and he can't have too much contact with the owner of that beautiful figure, so he can only take a look at it when seeing off the guests.

Hearing Lin Shu's words, Gao Wanjiang still maintained a gentle manner, and said with a smile: "You are distinguished guests in the mansion, I can't be negligent..."

Just as they were talking, Gao Yunwan led someone to send Daiyu Sanchun and the others over, and after a few salutes, they each got into the carriage.

Leaving aside the fact that the little sisters met each other and said goodbye, after Da Daiyu appeared, Gao Wanjiang's eyes did not move away.

When the carriage slowly left the gate of the palace, Gao Wanjiang was still staring at the direction in which everyone left.

"Brother, the eyeballs fell off!"

Gao Yunwan looked at the stupid Gao Wanjiang with contempt: "If you have the intention, go propose marriage to Xueshi Lin. Today, many wives and wives have fallen in love with younger sister Yu, and even the eldest aunt is rare to pull younger sister Yu. Let go."

When the alarm bell sounded, Gao Wanjiang immediately turned around and walked quickly to the inner courtyard.If it's another mansion, it's fine, just ambush around the Lin family, and give a stick to anyone who proposes a marriage.But if the eldest aunt proposes marriage to his cousin, it's not easy for him to start.

At this time, Princess Cui was listening to the female officer report today's accounts, when Gao Wanjiang hurried in, looking anxious.

Concubine Cui asked the female officer to step down, leaving only the eldest maid, Jin Lan, to wait on her.

After the female officer went out, Gao Wanjiang asked eagerly: "Mother, I heard that my aunt intends to marry the county master Rongjia for my cousin?"

Concubine Cui saw her son, who had always been prudent, panicked, but she wanted to tease him with some evil intentions.She said unhurriedly: "Yeah, since I met Yu'er, I have been thinking about holding the red line for you brothers. Originally, I planned to show you, but you didn't mean that. This No, your eldest aunt has taken a fancy to Yu'er right away..."

"How is this possible?"

"Why can't this work?"

"Obviously I came first..."

"What did you come first? Last time I asked you, you told me that's not the case!"

Gao Wanjiang's face flushed red in anxiety.Princess Cui saw that her son was getting impatient, so she said: "I will ask your father to go to the Lin family to find out. If the Lin family does not object, I will ask your aunt to propose marriage for you!"

"No, I don't agree. Mother, my son has fallen in love with the county magistrate Rongjia, even my cousin..."

Gao Wanjiang objected loudly, and looked at Princess Cui dumbfounded in the middle of the sentence: "Mother, what did you just say? Let my aunt go to the Lin family to propose marriage for my son?"

"Yeah, I originally planned to let your aunt come to meet Yu'er. She and Yu'er's mother are old acquaintances. If you two are destined, she will be just right."

Gao Wanjiang was overjoyed by Princess Cui's words, and he bowed down excitedly to Princess Cui: "My son, thank you mother..."

Princess Cui poured cold water on her excited son: "Don't be too happy, this matter not only needs to be approved by the Lin family, but also to ask your uncle's opinion. If you really want to marry Yu'er, why not marry me?" It depends on whether your imperial uncle agrees or not!"
