Fu Jingen is still very efficient in his work. He talked about this with Mr. Tan at noon the next day.

Just as Fu Jingen expected, Mr. Tan was happy to see this marriage.

When Shi Xueshu Tan returned home, he asked his entourage to call Tan Jingye over and talked about this with him.

When Tan Jingye heard that Mr. Tan wanted to say he was dear, he became alert: "Second uncle, which Lin family?"

Mr. Tan said: "Her sister, Miss Lin, is now serving in the Ministry of Rites. Miss Lin's fiancé Fu Jingen is the second most recent student in Hanlin."

Many people in Qingshu only heard of his name but did not see him, but he had seen Fu Jingen when he was parading on horseback.

Tan Jingye asked with his heart, "Uncle Second, what kind of person is this second girl in the Lin family?"

Mr. Tan said: "Miss Lin Er is quite pretty. She studied at the Lan family girl's private school for two years at the age of six. Later, she studied at the Kyoto girl for five years. After graduation, she went to a private school to teach. I specifically asked your aunt to inquire. This girl is lively and cheerful."

It was because An An's temperament was completely different from Qingshu that he agreed. If he was the same as Qingshu, he would not agree even if he had good conditions.

Tan Jingye said hesitantly: "Uncle Second, why did Miss Lin like me with such good conditions?"

Mr. Tan said: "Her sister is famous and many people are more taboo, so marriage is hard to say. Don't belittle yourself. You are a juren at a young age, and you will not be humiliated even if you are worthy of her."

He also knew Tan Jingye's background, and he had no other advantages except for being good-looking and having a good reputation as a Juren. This Juren's fame was a lucky result. It would be difficult to pass the exam unless he was full of luck in the future. So he thought this marriage was very good.

Tan Jingye was a little hesitant.

Mr. Tan said: "Although Fu Jingen is only a sixth-grade editor now, he has the scheming and means to gain the eye of His Highness Changsun. If you marry Miss Lin Er, having such a brother-in-law will be of great benefit to you in the future."

The more he said this, the more he was, the more he was worried. His cousin was only younger than him and hadn't gotten into a marriage. If Miss Lin was so good, how could his second aunt have been cheap? It must be the first to focus on his son.

"Uncle Second, I'll think about this for a few days."

Mr. Tan has been in the officialdom for many years, but he can't tell that he has doubts: "You can say whatever you have, and you don't have any concerns."

Tan Jingye measured and said, "Uncle Second, is this second girl in the Lin family wrong?"

Mr. Tan looked at him in surprise and said, "Why do you think so? If there is anything wrong with her, how could the private school teacher hire her? I have sent someone to inquire. That girl did a good job in the private school and was very popular with the students."

After hearing what he said, Tan Jingye thought about it and asked, "Second Uncle, since Miss Lin is so good, why don't you give it to Jingshi?"

Mr. Tan understood what he meant and said immediately: "It's not the second girl Lin I like for you, but Fu Hanlin liked you."

Tan Jingye was relieved immediately and said that his uncle could not think of him first with such good conditions, otherwise his second aunt would have had a fuss.

Before, it was because Tan Jingshi was rude to him and Mrs. Tan protected her son and complained to him. Tan Jingye moved out in anger.

"Uncle Second, I have never met Fu Hanlin. How did he like me?"

Mr. Tan said, "I don't know this. It's really hard to find this marriage with lanterns. If you miss it, you will definitely not be able to find a better person than Miss Lin Er."

Tan Jingye also let go: "Uncle II, I want to meet this second girl Lin."

It is true that you hear it as a false hearing. After all, getting married is a lifelong major event, it is better to be cautious. If you are cheated, it will be troublesome to quit your marriage in the future.

Mr. Tan nodded and said, "I will ask Fu Hanlin tomorrow and I will give you a reply."

As a result, on the second day, Mr. Tan said to him: "Fu Hanlin said you met not long ago."

Since we have met each other, there is no need to arrange another meeting.

Tan Jingye was a little confused: "I have seen it, when?"

After saying this, he suddenly remembered An An who appeared in front of the stall. Looking back now, this matter is obviously wrong. He is so rich in clothes that even if he is illiterate, he will not be able to go to the street to find someone to write letters.

Shi Shi Tan smiled and said, "Fu Hanlin said that you picked up Miss Lin Er's pearl hairpin on the back mountain of Lingshan Temple that day. He said that you two were also considered matchmakers led by the Buddha."

Tan Jingye thought that An An ran away when he saw him, and couldn't help but ask, "Does Miss Lin agree to this marriage?"

Xueshi Tan nodded and said, "Miss Lin Er knew that you were the one who picked up her hairpin that day, so she agreed."

As for how Miss Lin Er knew that Tan Jingye was the one who picked up the hairpin, he didn't ask.

Tan Jingye said: "I want to listen to her in person, otherwise I will not feel at ease."

Mr. Tan said funny: "For such a big thing, how could Fu Hanlin make a decision without the consent of Mrs. Gu and her sisters. But you can just meet me, I'll tell them."

The Lin family agreed readily, and they didn’t choose the location for meeting, and they were directly at the place where the pearl hairpins were thrown out on the mountain behind Lingshan Temple.

An An was dressed up beautifully this day, but when he saw Tan Jingye, he was so embarrassed that he couldn't even speak.

When Tan Jingye saw her shy appearance, he knew her attitude. He was very happy but said: "Miss Lin, don't you know my situation?"

"I just know that you don't want your mother to like, and I don't know much about the others."

Tan Jingye said: "My mother doesn't like me. If you marry me, she will probably not give you a good face if you follow me back to Shandong in the future."

An An said: "As long as I don't live with her all the time, I can tolerate it in a short period of time."

Tan Jingye felt relieved: "Don't worry, my mother will definitely live with my elder brother in the future, and I will not stay in Heze."

An An also asked, "What if she wants to keep me in Heze to fulfill her filial piety?"

Tan Jingye said: "No matter where I go, I will definitely have to take my wife and children."

An An said again: "What if she wants to live with us in the future? If she doesn't like me, I don't want to live with her, or they will torture each other."

Tan Jingye never thought about this problem, because Mrs. Tan's disgust with him must not want to live with him. But everything is in case, and his mother insists on coming to live with him, but she can't stop it.

Tan Jingye thought for a while and said, "My mother is very particular. If she lives in a bad place, she will not move in with us."

"But my sister bought me a two-entry house in Jinyu Hutong, and she will definitely live there in the future."

Tan Jingye glanced at her and said, "The house in Jinyu Hutong is not cheap!"

"Well, my two-entry house cost more than 5,000 taels of silver, which is very expensive. But my brother-in-law lives there, and my sister wants me to live closer and take care of each other if there is anything in the future."

Tan Jingye thought it was pretty good and said, "If I live in your dowry, my mother wouldn't come. My mother is a good person and she cannot live in her daughter-in-law's dowry house."

An An was relieved, but she still said politely: "If she wants to live, I will definitely welcome you. But I have to make the decision on the family matters, and she can't point fingers."

"Of course, you have the final say about you being the mistress of the family."

This attitude made An An very satisfied: "You can ask any questions you have."
