The journey of the heavens by Jia Huan, the salted fish

Chapter 361 Shi Xiangyun's marriage failed

Jia Baoyu stayed in the Yihong Courtyard for several days and did not go out.

Not for anything else, but to catch up with homework.

Before Jia Zheng came back, he hurriedly finished the leftover homework.

Several girls' families helped him with some of his homework, which relieved Jia Baoyu's pressure.

What made him even happier was that Jia Zheng's letter had arrived again, saying that it was a tsunami near the sea, and several people had been trampled.

After hearing this, Baoyu put the book aside again and continued to wander.

In May, it was the day when Wang Ziteng's daughter married Baoninghou's son.

The Jia family is related to the Wang family and the Shi family, so naturally the whole family went to the wedding banquet.

As the cousin of the bride, Wang Xifeng had to help even more, and she was so busy that she never touched the ground.

Jia Huan followed to have a wedding banquet, and met the two princes of the Shi family.

These two people are too capable, but now they have the desire to seek refuge in the present, but they have nowhere to go.

It's not that they can become the emperor's subordinates just because they show their loyalty directly to the emperor.

The spies found out what the two were thinking and reported it to Jia Huan.

Jia Huan also reported to the emperor, and the emperor gave Jia Huan instructions to give the two historians a clear path.

Of course, Jia Huan himself will not come forward.

Xue Biao took the jug to toast Shi Ding and Shi Nai.

Shi Ding and Shi Nai accepted Xue Biao's toast with a smile, and heard Xue Biao say that he wanted to ask the two Lords about something.

Shi Ding smiled: "What's the matter with you, despite me. We are still capable of helping you."

Even if a family of historians with two lords declines, they are still more powerful than a family of imperial merchants with connections.

Xue Biao smiled and spit out a name.

Shi Ding and Shi Nai's expressions changed, and they looked at each other.

The eyes of the two became sharp, and they looked at Xue Biao carefully.

Xue Biao calmly faced the two of them.

Shi Ding suddenly remembered that when his father was still alive, he had mentioned that Xue's family might be the royal spies, helping the royal family to inquire about information about Jiangnan.

Otherwise, how could the Xue family, as a merchant, form four big families with the family of the three princes and uncles?
So, is what my father said true?

Shi Ding stood up and made a gesture of invitation to Xue Biao: "Go to the study to talk."

Xue Biao smiled and followed the two masters to the study.

The others didn't know what they said, but three days later, Shi Ding and Shi Nai were summoned into the palace by the emperor.

When they left the palace, both of them carried the imperial decree.

When the two returned to the mansion, the family members began to pack their luggage. They accepted the emperor's order and were going to station in other places.

To outsiders, the two seemed to be exiled by the emperor, but in fact, they have been accepted by today and become the emperor's subordinates.

Going out of Beijing is also doing business for the emperor.

Once things are done, they will naturally be able to return to Beijing.

Shi Ding asked his wife to go to Rongguo Mansion to pick up Shi Xiangyun, but they couldn't all leave and leave Shi Xiangyun alone in the capital.

Mrs. Shi heheed twice, and said: "Your good niece would like to leave her alone in the capital, so that she can live in Rongguo Mansion for a long time."

Shi Ding frowned: "She's a girl from the Shi family, so it's not good to live in the Jia family all the time."

Mrs. Shi: "It's not good to let her become the Jia family."

Shi Ding asked, "What do you mean?"

Mrs. Shi: "It's not what I mean, but your good niece. She's all about Jia Baoyu."

Shi Ding's eyes lit up when he heard the words: "This is a good marriage."

Mrs. Shi shook her head: "I think my aunt wants to match that child from the Lin family with Jia Baoyu."

Shi Ding: "Lin Ruhai doesn't like Jia Baoyu."

Based on Jia Baoyu's words that the scholars were national thieves and lu beetles, Lin Ruhai would not marry his daughter to Jia Baoyu.

Didn't you see that Lin Ruhai, a master, hasn't called Jia Baoyu to teach him for a long time?

This is a disappointment to Jia Baoyu!

Such a Jia Baoyu would definitely not be the candidate for Lin Ruhai's son-in-law.

But being his niece and son-in-law is enough.

Shi Ding said: "Go and mention it to your aunt and the second sister-in-law of Zheng, and see their reactions. If they agree, then the marriage between Xiangyun and Baoyu will be settled. If they don't agree, then choose another family for Xiangyun."

Mrs. Shi nodded in agreement.

The next day, Mrs. Shi came to Rongguo Mansion and said that she was going to other places with Shi Ding.

Shi Xiangyun was very unhappy when she heard that the two uncles were leaving. She didn't want to leave the capital with either of them.

Mrs. Shi knew this would happen, she sent Shi Xiangyun away with a smile, and mentioned Shi Xiangyun and Jia Baoyu's marriage to Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang naturally disagreed, she wanted Xue Baochai to be her daughter-in-law even more.

Even Lin Daiyu is better than Shi Xiangyun who has no parents.

Mrs. Wang then shirked that Jia Baoyu was still young and didn't want to be engaged to Jia Baoyu so early.

Jia's mother was willing. She had already seen Lin Ruhai's attitude and knew that Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu would not succeed, so she deliberately matched Jia Baoyu and Shi Xiangyun.

Shi Xiangyun's background is much stronger than Xue Baochai's. Her stupid daughter-in-law only knows the current interests and doesn't think about Jia Baoyu's future at all, which makes Jia's mother very dissatisfied.

Jia's mother expressed her optimism to Jia Baoyu and Shi Xiangyun to Mrs. Shi.

The completely different attitudes of the two made Mrs. Shi a little embarrassed. Should I choose another family for Shi Xiangyun?

After Mrs. Shi went back, she told Shi Ding their different attitudes and let Shi Ding make his own decision.

Shi Ding said that he would wait.

He felt that Shi Xiangyun and Jia Baoyu had a high possibility of success. After all, Jiamu was the old lord of the Rongguo Mansion, and Jia Zheng respected Jiamu very much.

As long as Jia's mother speaks, Jia Zheng agrees to the marriage between Shi Xiangyun and Jia Baoyu, and it is useless for Mrs. Wang to object.

Mrs. Shi mentioned Shi Xiangyun's unwillingness to leave Jia's house again, and Shi Ding snorted.

"Then it's better to keep her in Jia's house. It's just for her to cultivate more relationship with Jia Baoyu." Shi Ding said.

For this niece, Shi Ding did not have much patience.

Especially when I heard from my wife that Shi Xiangyun often talked about how hard she was living outside, as if how bad they were to her as uncles and aunts.

Discredit uncle and aunt outside.

This made Shi Ding not angry, the little affection for this niece disappeared because of anger.

Shi Ding and Mrs. Shi left the capital with their family not long after, and Shi Nai's family also left, leaving only Shi Xiangyun in Rongguo Mansion.

Shi Xiangyun was so happy that she could stay in Rongguo Mansion for a long time.

Both Jia's mother and Shi Xiangyun thought that Shi Ding and Mrs. Shi kept Shi Xiangyun in order to let Shi Xiangyun and Jia Baoyu develop a relationship. They didn't know that Shi Ding had given up on this niece.

While Shi Xiangyun was happy, he brought a group of people in the Grand View Garden to celebrate with the re-opening of the Poetry Club.

The theme of this issue of Poetry Club is catkins.

Shi Xiangyun first wrote a poem: "How can it be that the embroidered velvet is vomited, and the half curtain of fragrant mist is rolled up, and it is picked up by itself, making the cuckoo cry and the swallow jealous. Stay, stay! Don't let the spring go away.".
