Aunt Xue was startled for a moment. As for Shouxiao, is it inappropriate to say this? However, after thinking about it, he nodded, "My nephew is younger than Pan'er and has not yet been engaged; on the other hand, my niece was engaged to the second son of the Mei Hanlin family in Beijing when her father was still alive."
"Well, it's time to take advantage of the filial piety period to take a good look at that family. If it doesn't work, break off the engagement as soon as possible, so entering Beijing early also has the advantage of entering Beijing early." Ou Mengmeng nodded and said smoothly, "The sisters are studying recently. Housekeeper, your girl is about the same size as Ying'er. When they have class in the morning, will Miss Xue attend?"
"Of course, of course, it's really a dream to be taught by the old lady." Aunt Xue said happily.
"The four Jinling families are not as good as they used to be. Each family is tightening its doors and strengthening the upbringing of its descendants. They can no longer run wild like they did before, with the blessing of their ancestors' merits." Ou Mengmeng let out a long sigh.
"Yes, the second brother also said just now that the old lady sent the heirs of the three Wang, Jia and Xue families to the northwest for the sake of the family's successor. Looking at Pan'er's recent letter, it has been very effective. These days "My niece has always wanted to come over and kowtow to you." Aunt Xue kept smiling. After saying that, he also asked someone to present a white jade Guanyin statue, "I heard that you are missing a Guanyin statue. Ours is not as good as yours, but it is barely visible. Please accept it."
Ou Mengmeng looked at the Guanyin. This one was made of white jade. Although it was not mutton-fat white jade, white jade was revered before Ci Xi, so she looked a little proud when she looked at Aunt Xue.
She probably heard that the old lady gave the concubine an jade Guanyin in exchange for Yuanchun. She had never seen the old lady's jade Guanyin, but when choosing a gift for the old lady, she chose this one and saved it. Old lady, don't underestimate the Xue family's intention.
Ou Mengmeng wanted to support herself. The goddaughter of the Wang family was really a big problem! Mrs. Wang teaches nothing like that. Looking at the Xue family, if it were not for Aunt Xue, I am afraid that the Xue family would not be as miserable in the future.
So think about it, the Wang family actually hates the four great families of Jinling, right? Then he taught his daughter a bad lesson and killed the other three families, so that only their family was left. The question is, even if there is only one family left, should you educate your son well? It is almost as if everyone will die together.
Yuanchun was also embarrassed. Why didn't the old lady have Guanyin? Just to change yourself, Aunt Xue, what does this mean? If you lose it, our Xue family will make up for you. Do you want to step on the old lady?
Looking at the Guanyin again, she didn't say, the old lady's Guanyin is several times the size of yours. This is a one-year-old jade statue of Guanyin. In addition to carvings by famous artists, the key point is that the top of Guanyin's head has its own firelight. Those are treasures from the palace of the previous dynasty, how can they be compared with those from the common people like you.
"Thank you for remembering me, but I don't dare to invite more guests to Guanyin Bodhisattva. It's better for my concubine to keep such a good statue as an enshrinement." Ou Mengmeng smiled and waved her hand. She didn't even bother to say any kind words, she just didn't want to bother.
"Brother Pan, you guys often write letters?" Mrs. .
"Lian'er won't you write?" Aunt Xue waved people off quickly and took over the conversation herself. She didn't think about it at all. The old lady didn't like it. She was quite worried that it should be given anyway. I gave it to you. Don't you want it to be just right? Jumping for joy.
Baochai was embarrassed this time, but it was difficult to tell. He observed the other sisters carefully. They were all sitting on the kang in a formal manner, whispering and laughing in low voices without looking at this side. It was obvious that they had received an excellent education. She didn't want to interrupt, she didn't dare to mess around.
When Wang Ziteng arrived at Jiangyunxuan in the afternoon, he was actually a little exhausted mentally and physically. In December, he sent Wang Ren and others to the northwest camp. The Jia and Wang families there had some foundations, so there was still plenty of soldiers for these young masters.
I came over there to report some information when I had nothing to do. Now I feel that although the Jia family's son is naughty, he is as naughty as naughty. Know what is practical, understand what people say, and know what is good and what is bad. So in the military camp, the three of them were very united and knew not to offend the instructor. So the three of them were actually the fastest among the five to adapt. They immediately changed their attitude towards life without any process, as if they were born in the camp.
The second person to change was Xue Pan. Xue Pan is stupid, but stupid people are actually kind of good. Although they don’t know how to restrain their selfish desires, they still know what is good and what is bad.
, repay kindness and show loyalty. He felt that these brothers were assigned for him, so he was very grateful and sincerely wanted to learn well, because he felt that only after he had learned well could his brothers leave.
Everyone has changed for the better, only Wang Ren of his own family, only him, will die if caught, but alive if released. He also caught the weakness of the Northwest Camp. They didn't dare to do anything to them, so they just destroyed it.
The Northwest Camp was actually only managed on behalf of Wang Rencai, Wang Ziteng's nephew and the only heir to the Wang family. People didn't dare to do anything to him.
Wang Ren also told Jia's uncle, nephew, and Xue Pan that as long as it was ruined, they could live the same comfortable life as before.
If it weren't for the fact that both Jia Lian and Jia Rong had wives writing letters, one letter every three days, even though it was their own business, the two of them knew that as soon as they left the capital, they would be imprisoned by the old lady in West Road to learn housekeeping, Jia Rong, Jia Lian They all breathed a huge sigh of relief.
Of course, Jia Rong and Jia Lian's worries are different, but one thing is the same. It is much safer to know that their daughter-in-law is in front of the old lady's eyes. Although one of them felt that his wife could not protect him, the other felt that her daughter-in-law was too courageous and someone should take care of her.
The two of them wanted to go back as soon as possible, so they got even more excited. Regardless of Wang Ren's death, they wanted to let people say that they had changed, and that they could support Ning Rong's second residence, and then they could go back to see their wife. Especially after three days of writing a letter, they seemed to be getting closer and closer to their daughter-in-law.
This made Wang Ren even more miserable. Wang Ziteng now wanted to die just thinking about his nephew. Now he doesn't even have the desire to be promoted. What he's thinking about is whether he should transfer these few people back from the northwest and teach them himself. That is the future of the Wang family!
So in the afternoon he and Aunt Xue talked about family inheritance for a long time. It didn't matter where they lived, and let's not talk about money.
Wang Ziteng's eyesight is really not that shallow. In particular, the Xue family is now truly rich, with more land and real estate in their hands. But these are nothing to Wang Ziteng. But what is most important to Aunt Xue now? If your son improves and doesn't allow him to do business, he means he is guarding the family business honestly and does not fail, and he is a good boy.
So now she wants to fawn over the old lady and teach Baochai well while the old lady is still here. He will take advantage of these two years to choose a promising young officer for Baochai, so that the family can support her. More than half way up. If you choose a good wife, she will really have someone to rely on in her later years.
Aunt Xue is a concubine and has no independent opinions. After hearing what her second brother said, she immediately thought of currying favor with the old lady. Otherwise, she would not have given them to the old lady when she first entered the house. Now that it was dinner, she thought of giving the old lady something.
