The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 176
After hearing Mrs. Xu's words, Mrs. Lu felt a little moved.These two girls are about the same age, but they never told anyone.Xiuyan is easy to deal with, but Lu's family is not worried about her own daughter's marriage, but she is only afraid of failing to find a good marriage for Daiyu because of failing to live up to Master Lin's entrustment.

Mrs. Xu's aunt is an old concubine favored by the Supreme Emperor. Although she is gone, the Supreme Emperor's favor for the Xu family has not been diminished.The Xu family's in-laws are all over the capital, and Mrs. Xu's natal family is also well-known. If her sister-in-law is said to be superior, then this prominent family in Jining is by no means an ordinary person.

Lu Shi pondered for a while before asking: "I don't know which young master in the Qianfu is the one who made peace?"

Mrs. Xu hurriedly laughed and said: "It's the eldest son of the second wife of the Gan family, my sister-in-law's nephew, with a single name and a character, and this year, he worshiped under the name of Jining Confucian Hong Shijin, the current head name of Jining Mansion Jieyuan. Needless to say about his talent and appearance, he is a first-class handsome man, he has received a lot of praise from his family, and the old man of the Gan family is most proud of his grandson, except for..."

Mrs. Xu was a little embarrassed: "The only thing is that this child has lost both parents since he was a child, and he was raised by the old man's side." Mrs. Xu was afraid that Mrs. Lu might misunderstand her, so she explained to her immediately: "Go find this child's father. It was the original South Henan Road garrison. Eight years ago, there was a great turmoil in Miaojiang. Gan Mi's father was ordered to suppress it. After being transported back for a hundred days, his mother was buried in front of the coffin. Now the old lady of the Gan family is not the original spouse, thanks to the care of Gan Mi's grandfather, and the wife of the Gan family who takes care of Gan Mi as her own son , This is how the child achieves today."

Mrs. Lu nodded knowingly, but after thinking about it, there was something wrong with it: "Then it seems that the wife of the eldest wife of the Gan family is qualified to be a matchmaker for Gan Mi, so how can she become a Gan family?" Is your sister-in-law talking about something?"

Mrs. Xu looked embarrassed, and laughed twice: "Sister of the Xing family, how could you not know that every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite! The Gan family has five generations under the same roof, and there are two or three hundred people in the family, how can you not?" A conflict? The eldest wife of the Gan family wanted to take this opportunity to tie Gan Mi to her side thoroughly, but Gan Mi is an upright person. Even the old man did not expect such an achievement in this rural examination, so... the old man thought For a grandson, find someone with good looks and secondly, the most important thing is to be able to accompany Gan Mi day and night, so that the husband and wife will go along with each other."

On the one hand, Mrs. Lu was attracted by this talented Ganmi, who got to know Yuan at a young age, and will take the big exam next year. Maybe Mei Yusen is not his opponent, but when he heard about the intricate interpersonal relationship of Mr. Gan, Mrs. Lu became a little timid. .She was only afraid that Daiyu's life's happiness would be ruined if she didn't think carefully for a while. If that was the case, even if she was smashed to pieces, it would be difficult for her to face the spirit of Master Lin Ruhai.

Mrs. Xu left behind Gan Mi's birth date and left with some regret.

When the two girls came back in the evening, Lu didn't dare to mention a word in front of them. She only told Xing Zhong behind her back when Xing Zhong came back.

Now Xing Zhong is being reused. Although he changed his career temporarily, everyone in the armory station admires Xing Zhong. Not long after Xing Zhong went to the armory station, he became friends with those small officials.Xing Zhong was generous with money, and often treated guests to dinner, but the places he went to were not brothels and Chu restaurants, but several famous restaurants in Gyeonggi Province. He made many friends with wine and meat. Zhong really has some skills, and he is not someone who relies on money all the way to the top.

Xing Zhong is busy with official duties, and all the big and small affairs of the family are handed over to Lu Shi to take care of them. Now when he hears his wife say this, he feels ashamed: "I almost forgot that the two girls have indeed reached the age to talk about marriage. Think it was our time! I seem to have heard about the Qianmi introduced by Mrs. Xu, and tomorrow I will send Axi to ask brother Lian, he is well-informed, and I think he will know something."

On the second day, after Jia Lian got off the yamen, he came to Fengwei Hutong. When he got to the gate, he found that Ouyang's house on the opposite side had moved in and out of several large boxes, so he whispered to Wang'er to find out why.When Jia Lian was waiting for Xing Zhong in the living room, Wang Er rushed to report: "It is said that Ouyang's family brought something from Yangzhou, and it was all in the box."

Jia Lian sneered twice: "It's definitely not a good thing to rape or steal."

Jia Lian didn't care, because at this time Xing Zhong had already walked in, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile on his face: "Uncle is now at the time when he needs to be reused, and my nephew has heard about it for a long time in the Ministry of Punishment. Congratulations to Uncle." It is!"

Xing Zhong scolded with a smile: "You boy, I haven't seen you for a few days, but your ability to flatter has become stronger." Xing Zhong took the opportunity to ask him if he knew the Jining Gan family.

"Why don't you know? This Jining Gan family is well-known for its generosity. It also had some contacts with the Rongguo Mansion more than ten years ago. It's just that when our old lady left, he immediately became estranged. He hasn't had any contact with him in the past seven or eight years."

Seeing that his uncle asked something strange, Jia Lian couldn't help laughing when he remembered that there were several young sons in the Gan family: "Could it be that Uncle is thinking about finding sister Xing's husband? If it is true, then the Gan family is really It's a good choice, my nephew heard that there is a young man named Gan Mi in the Gan family who is really good, and he will definitely not be wronged by sister Xiuyan!"

Xing Zhong laughed loudly, but he didn't explain what was going on here, he just gave Jia Lian a chance, and asked more about this Gan Mi's character.Jia Lian only thought that his guess was right, and thought of the goodness of sister Xiuyan, Jia Lian paid more attention to this matter. After returning home, he explained to Wang Xifeng that he was inquiring in the yamen, and asked Sister Feng to also look and ask those who had something to do with the Gan family in Jining. Related family members.

In a few days, it was the young year. Mother Jia missed Daiyu and sent Li Wan to pick her up for the New Year.Lu Shi left Li Gongcai at home for lunch, but still refused to let Lin Daiyu go.

"Good boy, just tell the old lady when you go back. Xiuyan and I will personally send Lin girl back tomorrow, and reassure her. It just so happens that I have something to discuss with the old lady."

Li Gongcai heaved a sigh of relief when he heard such words, when she came, she was afraid of being rejected, and it would be difficult for her to do business when she went back.Now that there is such a guarantee from his uncle and wife, how can Li Gongcai not like it?

When Xiuyan walked in, Li Wan and Lu Shi were sitting on the kang and chatting.

"My sister-in-law hasn't come to our house for a few days, and Brother Lan is also gone this time, what do you think?"

Li Wan waved his hands again and again, with a smile in his mouth: "His half-jin oil bottle, An Neng can be on the table? But I have won a scholar, and I am already Amitabha. I don't know how to thank the Buddha, and I dare not ask for anything else!"

Li Wan thought of the drafts of strategies and theories sent by Xing Xiuyan before Boy Lan took the exam, and quickly thanked him: "Boy Lan knew I was coming yesterday and asked me to thank his Aunt Xiuyan. Those few pages of manuscripts could not be more appropriate. Useful!"

Xiuyan snuggled up beside Lu Shi and said with a smile: "What's the matter? It's hard for Lang Geer to be so keen on learning. How can I still have a few famous papers for this subject that I just got? And gave Lan boy!"

Li Wan smiled from ear to ear, and only took the Xing family more seriously.

When Li Gongcai returned to Rongguo Mansion, Mother Jia knew that Mrs. Lu would send Daiyu back in person tomorrow, so she hurriedly smiled and asked Yuanyang to lead seven or eight little girls into the garden to tidy up the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.The green bamboos in the garden of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion have long been lifeless. Coincidentally, when Baoyu got the news, he also came to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion to watch the excitement and decorate the room for his sister Lin.

Seeing Yuanyang's frowning look, Baoyu hurriedly laughed and said, "I think it's a big deal, so it's what Sister Yuanyang did for this. You should have said it earlier! Yesterday, Mama Lai honored me with two pots of narcissus, and now they are placed on the window sill. Come on, the taste is so fragrant and pleasant! I will send two little girls to fetch it."

Yuanyang grabbed Jia Baoyu, and said with a smile: "The raiders are the most rigorous. You only sent two little maids, how can you give them? I should go there myself, so that I can see how valuable the things in your Yihong Courtyard are." , I obeyed the order of the old lady, but I will not be soft on anyone who catches my fancy?"

Jia Baoyu couldn't stop laughing when he heard this, pulled the mandarin ducks and went to Yihong Courtyard.At that time, Xiren watched the little girl Chunyan feed water to my starlings, and heard that the second master brought the old lady's sister Yuanyang over here. Look at the door.

The ground was covered with snow, and the snow only stopped yesterday. The mothers of the rough envoys wanted to sweep it out, but Baoyu clamored to enjoy the snow and compose poems tomorrow, and they would not allow them to sweep away the slightest bit.It's still up to the attackers, and only the family has tidied up a trail.

The mandarin duck is wearing a bright red and a big mountain blue fur cloak. Just looking at the color, you can tell that it must be something that the old lady used back then.Although the color is old-fashioned, the thing is really good. Looking from a distance, it has a layer of luster like fish scales.

Reflecting the snow on the ground, it looks even more graceful and graceful.

Immediately, a strange feeling surged in Xi Xin's mind.Seeing Xiren standing at the door in thin clothes, Jia Baoyu quickly walked over, covered Xiren's hand, and said in a tone of reproach: "You said yesterday that your throat was uncomfortable, why did you come out today? How can it be good if it is broken!"

Xiren smiled faintly: "I heard from the maids that you brought mandarin ducks, so I came out to greet you."

The three of them entered the room, and Yuanyang saw the narcissus on the window sill at a glance.It is indeed like what Baoyu said, the flowers are so beautiful, the branches are flourishing, and the flowers are beautiful. If Miss Lin sees it, she will definitely like it!
When Xiren heard that Baoyu was going to send the flowers to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, he hurriedly said, "You are confused! I just said that we will have a community in our garden from tomorrow. You send all the flowers. The girls are here. And what reward?"

Jia Baoyu smiled without hesitation: "You can put the poetry club in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion." The more Baoyu thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was brilliant, and he hurriedly sent Chunyan to get a paper and pen to write down the invitation card, and Xiren stared aside with anger. There is just no way to stop it!
