Red House Shoufu

Chapter 33 Matchmaking
Wang Qi looked at Lin Shu who was bowing to him, and remembered Wang Xiaoshi's words a few days ago, "The night is long and there are many dreams, so it's better to settle the marriage as soon as possible."

"Okay, it's all my family, don't be polite, sit down and talk."

The maid served hot tea, then closed the door and went out.

Lin Shu glanced at the red-burning stove, the tongue of fire licked the coke, and the room was full of warmth.

"Are you going to take off your clothes on the eighth day? I wonder when you plan to go to Beijing?" Wang Qi asked straight to the point.

Lin Shu nodded: "The eighth day of this month is the 27th month of filial piety. My nephew plans to leave for the north the next day."

"So urgent?" Wang Qi's reaction was a bit loud, and he coughed lightly: "But it's true, the test will be held in February next spring, so we have to leave early."

Da Chu inherited the Ming system, and the examination was held once every three years, at the beginning of February of the year of Dabi.Relying on the canal in the south of the Yangtze River, without accident, it can reach the capital in about ten days and a half months.

However, Lin Shu set off so early not only to participate in the Chunwei Grand Competition, but also to take advantage of the situation and avoid possible dangers.

Even if Jia Lian and his wife didn't want to go back to Beijing, they had to go back to Rongguo Mansion before the Chinese New Year.He just took advantage of Jia Lianlong's name as the envoy of the guard town to avoid those who made his own ideas.

Wang Qi said thoughtfully: "Alright, go to the capital early, wait for work with ease, and strive to win the championship in one fell swoop."

"Uncle said, I don't know when brother Weizhong is going to leave?"

Hearing Lin Shu mentioning Wang Huan, Wang Qi frowned: "Huan'er, go north with Jinyu."

"Ah, dad, my son still wants to go to the capital after the new year... well, my son obeys!" Wang Huan looked at his father in surprise. Didn't he say that he would start again in the third day of junior high school two days ago? Why did he change his mind again? ?
However, Wang Huan was quite happy to go north with Lin Shu and Jia Lian, as he had never seen the New Year in the capital.

"Jinyu, Huan'er is naturally reckless, this time in Beijing, please help me watch him more."

Wang Qi knows his son too well, he is good at everything, but he is too playful.Lin Shu thinks it is safe to do things, let Wang Huan follow Lin Shu, he is more at ease.

Lin Shu and Wang Huan looked at each other and smiled. They never expected that the agreement made on the Qinhuai River that year would come true three years later.

He cupped his hands to Wang Qi and said, "Uncle, you're being polite, but middle brother happens to be with my nephew. Now go to the capital and stay at my house. After the spring, uncle and aunt will wait for the good news and come north."

The house of the Lin family in the capital city was bought by the ancestors of the Lin family during the time of Taizu. The five-advance mansion demonstrated the glory of the five generations of princes.

Lin Lu, the younger brother of Lin Fu, the steward of Lin Fu in Suzhou, has been guarding in the capital to take care of him.Lin Shu had written to Lin Lu a long time ago, asking Lin Lu to arrange for someone to clean up the mansion thoroughly. After this visit, he might have little chance to leave.

Wang Qi nodded gratifiedly, he was still very relieved when Lin Shu handled his affairs.However, he remembered Wang Xiaoshi's advice again, and he felt a headache.

……

In the back hall, Wang Xiaoshi and Wang Xifeng whispered about women, while Daiyu and Wang Yuan beside them were still "fighting" on the chessboard.

In a short while, Daiyu's Baizi will be defeated, and Wang Yuan is ready to take Daiyu's words...

Perhaps Daiyu had something on her mind today, and when her defeat was revealed, she sighed: "Sister Wang, I lost..."

Although Wang Yuan was surprised that Daiyu didn't caress the chessboard and act coquettishly today, she still smiled and comforted her: "Today you took nine steps more than last time. It seems that you are not far from victory."

She demonstrated the game deduction to Daiyu on the chessboard, and Daiyu's eyes only stared at the black and white interlacing on the chessboard.

"Sister Wang is so powerful, this is the third method!"

Wang Yuan made the last move: "The purpose of playing chess is to win. No matter which way you play, whether it is stuck or killed, there is only one goal, and that is to win. Sister Lin is sometimes too worried about gains and losses. Some useless pieces should be discarded." You have to give up. If you are indecisive, you often lose the opportunity.”

Every time she plays chess, Wang Yuan will leave a few chances for Daiyu, but Daiyu often falls behind because of worrying about gains and losses, in order to protect her chess pieces.

This is all caused by Daiyu's character, and Wang Yuan tried to persuade him by playing chess.

Daiyu couldn't fail to hear Wang Yuan's kindness, Mammy Zhang and Mammy Lu also said similar things.Distant relatives of the Suzhou clan, relatives of the Rongguo Mansion in the capital, some people should stay away, so let's stay away.

The two looked at the chessboard silently, each thinking about their own thoughts.Sitting on the soft couch, Wang Xiaoshi and Wang Xifeng suddenly noticed that Daiyu and Wang Yuan had fallen silent, and looked over curiously.

Wang Xiaoshi asked suspiciously: "What are you two doing staring at the chessboard?"

Daiyu came back to her senses, and quickly said: "Sister Wang is teaching me how to play chess..."

"You can be regarded as having met your opponent. In the mansion, only the second sister was able to face you one or two. If there is a chance in the future, you must introduce Sister Wang to the second sister. They will definitely meet each other."

Wang Xifeng mentioned Yingchun, and the image of Yingchun appeared in Daiyu's mind.

Wang Xiaoshi next to him said with a smile: "The girl in the government must be extraordinary. Yuan'er was raised by the master as a man since she was a child, so she was sent to the imperial examination with Huan'er."

When Wang Xifeng heard this, his eyes lit up.Immediately took over the topic and said: "Sister Wang is very good-looking, and I don't know how many people will step over the threshold to marry her in the future. I wonder if my aunt has seen her?"

These words were a bit straightforward, Wang Yuan blushed on the spot, and Daiyu stared at Wang Xiaoshi nervously.

"Unknowingly, Yuan'er has reached the age to see each other. I'm ashamed to say that Huan'er lost Chunwei last time. As a mother, I put all my thoughts on him."

Wang Xiaoshi looked at Wang Yuan softly, then turned around and said to Wang Xifeng: "A few old relatives came to Jinling a few days ago. After seeing Yuan'er, they fell in love with her very much. They wanted to match her nephew and Nuan'er together." .But because the child has not yet achieved fame, and the master is not very satisfied..."

Wang Xifeng became impatient when he heard this: "Auntie, what do you think of my cousin Lin Shu?"

Ok?
Wang Xiaoshi looked at Wang Xifeng in surprise. Although she had just heard Wang Xifeng mention Wang Yuan's marriage, she was already prepared, but she never expected the surprise to come so quickly.

Wang Xifeng, it's really refreshing!
"Jinyu is of course a good child. The child taught by Lin Zhongzheng has both ability and political integrity, and has an excellent character. He has known Huan'er for many years, and the master often said that Jinyu has a bright future. If Yuan'er can have such a good husband Son-in-law, I am relieved."

Wang Xiaoshi praised Lin Shu again and again, making Daiyu, who was listening quietly beside her, very proud. Her brother is of course the best man in the world.

Wang Yuan lowered her head, her face was red and hot, and the root of her neck was red.She didn't expect to suddenly talk about her marriage today, and according to her mother and Sister Feng, it was to match her with Lin's elder brother.
