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

Chapter 333 Xue Xing is Engaged
Jia Mu and the others were not at home, the Grand View Garden was bustling with activity, but a lot of things happened.

In the small kitchen of Daguanyuan, two groups competed for power, and finally the Liu family, who had a good daughter, won the management right of the small kitchen.

Her daughter Liu Wu'er was also sent to Yihong Courtyard by Jia Baoyu.

Wang Xifeng didn't bother to care about Mrs. Wang's absence, and Liu Wu'er entered Yihong Courtyard smoothly.

In a blink of an eye, Baoyu's birthday came.

Jia Huan, Jia Cong and Jia Lan went to Yihong Courtyard early in the morning to congratulate Jia Baoyu.

Without staying longer, the two left Yihong Courtyard and went to ethnology.

After returning from ethnology, listening to the stories of Xiao Jixiang and Pengguan, I knew the excitement of the Grand View Garden on this day.

This day is not only Jia Baoyu's birthday, but also Xue Baoqin's birthday, and also Pinger Xing Xiuyan's birthday.

The audience in the Grand View Garden used this excuse to eat, drink and have fun all day long.

Jia Huan thought, the whole day is not enough for them to make trouble, and the night is the highlight.

Sure enough, at night, Jia Baoyu held a banquet in Yihong Courtyard, invited all the girls in the garden, and a group of people ate wine and drew flower lots.

As written in the original book, Xue Baochai won the peony lottery, "Even if it is ruthless, it is moving."

Tanchun drew a lottery of apricot blossoms, "Red apricots are planted against the clouds by the sun".

Li Wan won the lottery of plum blossoms, "I am willing to live in a hut with a bamboo fence".

Shi Xiangyun won the flower lottery of Begonia, "I'm afraid that the flower will fall asleep late at night."

Musk Moon draws the flower lottery of Tumi flowers, "it's time for Tumi flowers to bloom".

Now Xiangling, Xiren, and Qingwen have all left, and Lin Daiyu has not stayed in Jia's house, and there is no lottery result for them.

A group of people played until very late, and then dispersed.

Jia Huan didn't pay attention the whole time, only heard Peng Guan mention it afterwards.

It was Fang Guan who told Peng Guan, in order to make Peng Guan envious.

Peng Guan was not envious at all, didn't he just have a drink with a group of masters at night?

What is there to envy?
If you have the money for drinking, it's better to reward her. She went to the street to buy more delicious snacks.

Jia Huan remembered Xue Biao he saw in the spy camp.

It was obvious that his younger sister celebrated her birthday, but Xue Biao didn't have much joy, with melancholy hidden between her brows.

Jia Huan stopped Xue Biao and asked a question.

Xue Biao didn't hide it, and told his worries.

He took his younger sister to the capital to send her off to get married.

However, they have been in the capital for so long, and they have already greeted the Mei family, but the Mei family has not fulfilled their marriage contract for a long time. A few days ago, the Mei family was planning to leave the capital because the family members were sent out to serve as officials.

Xue Biao couldn't understand why, the Mei family wanted to regret the marriage!
They didn't want to bear the infamy of voluntarily reneging on the marriage, so they used dragging tactics to drag it to the Xue family to voluntarily withdraw the engagement.

Anyway, it doesn't matter if a man gets married later, but if a woman gets married later, the impact is not small.

Jia Huan asked Xue Biao, "What is your plan? Do you want to withdraw from the marriage or force the Mei family to marry your sister?"

Xue Biao said: "Forcing the Mei family to marry Baoqin, her life will definitely not be easy after she marries into the Mei family. I want to withdraw from the marriage. Even if it affects my sister's reputation, I can control it to a minimum."

Jia Huan nodded in agreement, and Xue Biao saw it quite clearly.

Jia Huan hooked his fingers at Xue Biao, and Xue Biao came to Jia Huan's side.

Jia Huan raised his lips and said in a low voice, "Mei Hanlin is not very innocent, you can investigate for yourself."

Xue Biao hurriedly cupped his hands at Jia Huan, thanking Jia Huan for his guidance.

He dared to insult their Xue family like this, he must make the Mei family look good!
Xue Biao protected his younger sister very well, and did not tell Xue Baoqin that the Mei family wanted to regret the marriage.

Xue Baoqin had a very happy time in Grand View Garden.

But Xue Biao has already made a decision, and must tell Xue Baoqin about it.

After all, it is Xue Baoqin's lifelong event.

After hearing her brother's story, Xue Baoqin made the same decision as Xue Biao.

break off an engagement!
Such a family, marrying into it is a pit of fire.

Xue Baoqin is very supportive of Xue Biao's decision.

So, Xue Biao went to the Mei family with the token from the Mei family.

Before the Mei family had time to leave the capital, they thought that Xue Biao was here to urge the marriage, and they had already figured out a reason to fool Xue Biao, but they didn't know that Xue Biao came to divorce the engagement.

The Xue family took the initiative to withdraw the engagement, and the Mei family immediately returned the Xue family's token and marriage certificate wherever they refused.

Xue Biao walked away with the token and marriage letter.

The Mei family was overjoyed, and they were discussing the matter of betrothing the young master of the Mei family immediately.

The Mei family has long been optimistic about the betrothal candidate, and it is the daughter of a member of the household department, Wai Lang's family.

Because of the marriage contract with Xue's family, they couldn't go to Yuanwailang's house to propose marriage, thinking that the marriage would be ruined.

Unexpectedly, in a turn of events, Xue's family took the initiative to withdraw their engagement.

"They are acquainted." The head of the Mei family stroked his beard and said.

The Mei family took action, and before they left Beijing, they completed the engagement with the daughter of the household member Wailang.

The daughter of Yuan Wai Lang's family is not yet of age, so they are not in a hurry to get married, and the marriage is scheduled for two years.

All this information was sent to Xue Biao by the spies.

Xue Biao looked at the information, thinking that there would be one more person to investigate.

Uwairo, a member of the household department named Zuo Hanguang, also needs to investigate.

It wasn't that he was retaliating, but that he felt that the marriage between the Zuo family and the Mei family was too strange.

Although Wailang, a member of the household department, is only a sixth-rank official, the household department is the most important yamen in the court, and the positions here are all fragrant.

The officials here are all rich.

Although Hanlin is famous, it is a poor yamen.

So, how could the Zuo family have a crush on the Mei family?

Still marrying the Mei family?

The Mei family will not be of much help to the Zuo family.

unless--

They are in the same camp.

Now the prince is still young, not yet old enough to seize the throne.

Which camp do these two belong to?
Xue Biao went through several forces in the court in his mind, unable to make a judgment.

There is still too little information.

Xue Biao sent out the spies belonging to him to investigate the Mei family and the Zuo family in detail.

However, this matter cannot be completed in a short time, Xue Biao can only press his mind and wait.

Now that his sister has divorced, he has to find a good family for her again.

In the end, before he could help Xue Baoqin choose a good family, Aunt Xue came to look for Xue Biao with a smile.

She helped Xue Biao take care of the girls in the family.

Xue Biao asked, and found that Aunt Xue's favorite girl was Xing Xiuyan.

The Xue family and the Xing family went to Beijing together, and Xue Biao had many opportunities to meet Xing Xiuyan, so he had a good impression of this girl.

After hearing Aunt Xue's words, Xue Biao did not object, and nodded in agreement.

He knew Aunt Xue's plan was to use his marriage to win Mrs. Xing and pave the way for Xue Baochai to marry into the Jia family.

But Xing Xiuyan is indeed a good girl, and she will be a good wife in the future.

Xue Biao has no reason not to agree.

Aunt Xue was very happy, and when Mrs. Xing and Mother Jia returned home, she went to ask Mother Jia to be a matchmaker.
