Chapter 435(1/2)
【Start running~】
But it was said that Aunt Xue and Baochai were both very angry after learning about the Mei family's unreasonable request.
Aunt Xue complained a few words at first, and then said worriedly: "The old lady has been treating Girl Qin like a baby these past two days, and she is planning to ask your aunt to recognize her as a goddaughter. Let's move out now.
What's going on?"
Compared to his mother, Xue Baochai was obviously calmer. He quickly analyzed the Mei family's motives for doing this, and said helplessly: "It's because we didn't think carefully enough before. I heard that Mei Hanlin is a very upright person, so maybe...
I don’t like the recent reputation of Rongguo Mansion, so..."
Hearing that her daughter seemed to want to excuse the Mei family, Aunt Xue couldn't help but frown slightly: "What do you want?"
"This matter mainly depends on what Xue Biao thinks. I see what he means. Most likely he is unwilling to antagonize the Mei family. After all, Bao Qin will still want to be the daughter-in-law of the Mei family."
Aunt Xue agreed with Baochai's judgment, but what should the old lady do?
Baochai thought for a while and then suggested: "Otherwise, tomorrow you take Xue Biao to the old house on Zijin Street and have a talk with Mei Hanlin and his wife in person. No matter how anxious he is, things won't be resolved in three or five days."
It can be done."
"Baoqin, there's no need to rush to move here. Once the old lady gets over her fresh energy and both families are almost ready, it won't be too late to take her to Zijin Street to be married."
"Hey~"
Aunt Xue sighed: "That's all we can do."
If it were her own children, she would have to discuss the marriage without any hesitation.
But Baoqin is a niece after all, not to mention Xue Biao's father's death. Even if she, the aunt, is angry, it is not good for her to interfere too much.
"That's the next best thing."
Baochai reminded again: "Brother, you must keep an eye on him. If he does something stupid, then the in-laws will become enemies. How can we have the face to meet the second aunt and the second sister under Jiuquan?"
Uncle?
"It's very true, but you must not let your brother do something stupid!"
Aunt Xue said, pacing back and forth in the room, but she couldn't help but wonder: "It would be easier if we were at home, but who can restrain him now, here and there? Or... I will do it first.
Move back in?"
Baochai, however, did not agree with this approach: "Even if mom moves back, the birthday is not over yet, so won't you show up in the next few days? Besides, if there is really an uproar over there on Zijin Street, you will inevitably have to show up.
"
"where……"
Seeing that her proposal was rejected, Aunt Xue immediately had no choice but to look at her daughter expectantly.
Xue Baochai was also in a dilemma. He thought about it for a long time before he said: "If it doesn't work out, let's find an excuse to let my brother go out of the capital. For example, let him visit various shops and reason. He should be familiar with these things long ago."
Although Aunt Xue was reluctant to let her son run around outside, she had to choose the lesser of two evils, so she could only endure her heartache and nod in agreement.
After the mother and daughter decided on the schedule, they were preparing to strike while the iron was hot and concoct a route that was neither far nor near, which would allow Xue Pan to stay outside for enough time without making him too tired.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Wang suddenly sent Caixia, saying she had good news to tell Aunt Xue.
Aunt Xue just thought that she would accept Baoqin as her goddaughter. Unexpectedly, when she hurried to the main room, Mrs. Wang was relieved and asked: "Guess who I just saw?"
Aunt Xue: "Who?"
Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "Mrs. Xia is the wife of the Osmanthus Xia family! Not only did she not dislike Wenlong in her words, she also hinted that we should come as soon as possible to propose marriage!"
"really?!"
Aunt Xue couldn't help but be overjoyed when she heard this. She folded her hands and recited Amitabha several times.
Xue Pan's marriage was originally her biggest worry, but recently she was involved in a heart disease incident, and her reputation for trouble dropped further.
Under such circumstances, the Xia family is still willing to marry their only child, which is really great news.
However, Aunt Xue suddenly thought about it and suddenly became embarrassed. Logically speaking, since the Xia family took the initiative to hand over the ladder at this time, the Xue family should quickly climb up the pole.
But the problem is that because of the Mei family's affairs, I am planning to ask Xue Pan to leave the capital for a while.
now……
Mrs. Wang didn't notice her dilemma for a moment, and smiled again: "It was Wen Long who was trying his best. I heard that he spoke eloquently in public when the royal merchants gathered together, so Mrs. Xia made up her mind to get married!
"
"I see."
Aunt Xue suddenly realized that Baochai had originally hoped that Xue Pan would change his reputation at this gathering of imperial merchants so that he could marry a well-matched girl. Although the Xia family was also an imperial merchant, it was still more than one step behind the Xue family.
files.
It was precisely because of these thoughts that he did not take the initiative to contact the Xia family.
I just didn't expect that Xue Pan would be humiliated before he showed up. Taking into account both the inside and outside, the Xia family would naturally become the best choice.
After hearing Mrs. Wang's praise of Xue Pan's recent progress, Aunt Xue smiled helplessly and said: "You still don't know how much he weighs? Those words were taught by Brother Shun, and there is no one to talk about the New Deal and Engineering."
I know better than Brother Shun."
"Taught by Jiao Shun?"
Mrs. Wang frowned slightly and asked casually: "Why would he interfere in this matter?"
"this……"
Aunt Xue said hesitantly: "Of course I came forward to ask for it. Because at that time, my sister wanted to avoid suspicion, so she made an appointment to meet at the old house on Zijin Street."
She was hesitating and hesitating because she thought of Jiao Shun's gift of wood carvings.
But Mrs. Wang misunderstood, thinking that no wonder her sister had noticed Jiao Shun's ambition in advance and deliberately let it slip in front of her, but it turned out that there was such a thing going on in private.
She felt a sudden realization in her heart and urged: "Since this is the case, we can't miss the Xia family even more. You have been busy preparing for the past few days. When the old lady's birthday is over, we will finalize the marriage as soon as possible."
We can get married by the end of the year, and the elder brother will get married, and the younger sister will get married, right?"
Aunt Xue was conflicted, but she also knew that the Mei family had a grudge against the Rongguo Mansion, so she couldn't let Mrs. Wang know about it.
So I had to agree first and go back to my house to look for Baochai and make up my mind.
After Baochai heard the cause and effect, he felt troubled for a while.
Entrusted by her aunt, Bao Qin's marriage must not be compromised. Considering her brother's current reputation, being able to marry a Miss Xia family is a good thing that is hard to find even with a lantern. If you want to miss this village, there is no such shop.
Got it!
After thinking about it, she finally had no choice but to evade the important and take the easy way out: "Brother may not be able to do what he really knows when he is angry for a while. Let's first clarify the interests and harms, and then mention the Xia family's..."
At this point, she hesitated for a moment and then said: "Let's just say that Miss Xia is similar to Sister Lin in appearance, talent and learning. By then, my brother will naturally be interested in her and probably won't be able to care about the nonsense anymore."
"That's all we have to do."
Aunt Xue was still a little worried, but compared to the important matter of her son's marriage, taking some risks was nothing.
Immediately I heard Baochai say: "Again, it was Brother Jiao who helped me this time. Otherwise, my brother would not have been able to get the lucky draw, let alone Mrs. Xia's proposal of marriage. What's more, he has raised the sacrificial wine. Let's
He should have frequent contacts with the Jiao family, so that he could live up to the friendship between his mother and Aunt Laiwang since childhood."
After a pause, he suggested: "In my opinion, mom might as well prepare a generous gift to send. It's just in time for his house to be tiled. It is both a thank you gift and a congratulatory gift. A heavier gift is appropriate."
This is a serious human relationship.
Aunt Xue was about to nod her head when she heard this, but something suddenly came to her mind that on the day of Jia's mother's birthday, Jiao Shun said that she would give her another gift.
Her heart was beating wildly for a moment, and she blurted out for some reason: "Since it's a generous gift, it's better to be anxious for what the person needs. Why don't I ask him to meet him on Zijin Street tomorrow? Let's meet him and ask him about his house."
If there is still something 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 objection.
but……
"Why is mom stumbling when talking?"
"Where, where is there..."
When her daughter noticed something strange, Aunt Xue's heart was in her throat. She wanted to deny it, but her tongue really didn't obey her, so she had to laugh and said: "It was just now. I accidentally bit my tongue just now. I was afraid that you would be worried, so I
Didn’t say anything.”
Xue Baochai vaguely noticed that there was something hidden, but on second thought, she thought that Aunt Xue was regretting that she had not been able to get engaged to the Jiao family.
At that moment, he did not continue to ask questions.
Aunt Xue breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately felt ashamed again.
I secretly thought that even though I was old, why did I still get confused again and again?
If there is anything to Heshun brother...
How do I face my deceased husband who is under the influence of Jiuquan?
How should we face our 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 and blamed herself, the more her heart began to stir in her heart. It was so irritating that Aunt Xue's palms became wet, her chest felt hot, and her face became swollen.
So much so that the words of regret came to my lips, but I couldn't open them anyway.
To be continued...
