Plane Mall: I became a group favorite by hoarding goods

Chapter 241
"Well, maybe it's because we Xingqi is as beautiful as a flower and want to marry back as a daughter-in-law?"

"Sister-in-law!"

Shen Xingqi's little face turned pink again.

Cheng Xi couldn't help stretching out his sinful hand and squeezed it, "Do you know Mr. Du from Huaishan Academy?"

"I met that gentleman when I was a child. He is the father of Mrs. Du and Mrs. Xie."

"Well, Mr. Du and Mr. Jiang have been friends for many years. Mr. Du has taught countless students. Your brother is one of them. Now his son-in-law has just become the prefect of Lin'an Prefecture."

Shen Xingqi was pulling her out of the seventh-floor attic at this time, and blinked when she heard the words, "Sister-in-law means that Mr. Xie's promotion is related to Mr. Du?"

"What do you think?"

"Lord Xie's reputation has always been very good. He used to be the magistrate of Lin'an Prefecture, and his outstanding achievements are only one step away from the magistrate. However, our Lin'an Prefecture has always been prosperous, and there must be many officials who want to come here."

Shen Xingqi is a smart girl who understands everything. When she saw Cheng Xi, she smiled and continued to analyze:
"Mr. Du's eldest son is an official in Beijing, and he married a noble woman in Beijing. He must be able to speak in Beijing. Most of Mr. Du's students are in Lin'an Mansion, and his youngest son is also a master of the academy. Thank you, sir. It is most appropriate to become the magistrate."

Cheng Xi looked at her in surprise, but she didn't expect that she just said a word, and the little girl smoothed things out.

"It is undeniable that Mr. Xie has outstanding political achievements, but this can only make his name appear on the candidate list of the prefect of Lin'an."

"So what plays a decisive role is the connections of the Du family in Beijing, China and Lin'an?"

"That's right. Since ancient times, officialdom has always paid attention to contacts, whether it is promotion or communication. The major families do not have such good knowledge as Old Master Du. Most of them use marriage and relatives to draw closer relationships and weave a dense network."

Shen Xingqi stopped, stood under the peach tree and pondered, "Did those wives just want to marry me to win over brother?"

"In the entire Lin'an Mansion, my husband is indeed the student with the greatest potential. If there is no accident, he will definitely have a place in the officialdom in the future."

Cheng Xi continued to guide, "The first grade in the palace examination will directly enter the Imperial Academy, from the sixth rank and the seventh grade official position, the second rank or enter other yamen in Beijing, and most of the rest of Jinshi and fellow Jinshi are released as ninth rank county magistrates."

"But the wives sitting in the Taohua Pavilion are all of good status. Zhizhou, Tongpan and several generals are all higher than the seventh rank. Even if my brother stays in the Imperial Academy for a few years, he is not as good as him."

"That's right, although it is said that high-marriage women are low-marriage daughter-in-laws, the difference between two married families cannot be too great."

"So they are for the concubine at home?"

First blood sons can't marry, but bastards can. Which big family doesn't have many bad bastards these days?

Shen Xingqi turned around and looked at the Peach Blossom Pavilion not far away. Most of the wives brought young ladies who had not left the pavilion, and they were gathering in a few small groups to chat happily.And the wives who held the hands of other little girls showed joy and looked at them. The little girl's face was either generous or blushing, how similar to her just now?
Alas--

"Sister-in-law, I don't want to marry!"

So scary.

The little girl was terrified. She originally thought that what she attended today was a flower appreciation banquet where poetry and poetry were recited, but she never expected that it would be a blind date banquet!
Cheng Xi was amused by her reaction of avoiding snakes and scorpions, and laughed while leaning on a tree.

Shen Xingqi hugged her arm coquettishly, "I'm not married, I'm still young."

"It's not too young, it will be ready in a few months."

"Sister-in-law~"

"Okay, stop teasing me."

Cheng Xi had seen enough of her jokes, "Telling you these things is just to make you more discerning, I'm not willing to marry such a beautiful cutie."

"It is indeed a beautiful cutie, is this Miss Shen?"

A lady under the peach blossom tree came slowly, with only a smartly dressed girl beside her, she didn't look like a maid.

Shen Xingqi put down her arms around Cheng Xi, stepped back slightly and turned into a lady for a second.

Cheng Xi was embarrassed when he saw this, and with a few petals scattered all over his dress, he smiled and saluted the visitor.

"So it's Mrs. Qin, I'm Cheng Xi, this is indeed my sister."

"Xingqi has met Mrs. Qin."

"I've heard Zheng'er tell Mrs. Shen and Miss Shen a long time ago. That kid stayed away all day a few days ago. Didn't he cause trouble for you?"

"How come? Mr. Qin is both talented and beautiful, and he is also a bosom friend of your husband. Every time you come to the door, you will exchange ideas with your husband."

Thinking of her son, Mrs. Qin sighed with a headache, "It's hard for you to find someone who is both talented and beautiful to describe him."

"." My mother's complaints are the most deadly.

"Qiu Wei, son of Qin, won the first prize of the scriptures, he must be talented and learned, and he has inherited some of your looks from your wife. He is unparalleled in beauty, so he can naturally afford the words "both talent and appearance."

Mrs. Qin was even more sad, "So, he is talented and good-looking, so why doesn't he lean on the gentle, elegant, jade tree, graceful and elegant?"

"." With all due respect, as long as he doesn't speak, he can still be fooled.

The smile on Cheng Xi's face almost froze.

My mother doesn't want to see her, so what can she do as an outsider?
"Let's not talk about him anymore, just thinking about it makes me upset."

Mrs. Qin introduced the girl beside her who had been silent all this time, "This is Song Xiaowei's younger sister, Song Yan, who is currently living in the Qin Mansion. The weather is just right today, so come out to enjoy the flowers with me."

"It turned out to be Miss Song."

"Mrs. Shen, Miss Shen."

The other party smiled sweetly at the two of them, with a bit of playfulness, "I heard from my brother that Shenjia Village is a good place, can I go and play with Mrs. Shen?"

"Of course, Miss Song is always welcome."

Song Yan's facial features were somewhat similar to Song Zhi's, Cheng Xi looked at her clothes again and guessed that she should be a martial artist.

——Song Zhi is from the capital, and Song Yan was originally from the capital, why did she come here?
Mrs. Qin looked serious when she heard the two men mention Shenjia Village, "Thanks to you husband and wife for saving your life that day when the mansion was flooded. I originally wanted to go to the gate to thank you immediately after the city gate opened, but was held back by trivial matters. .”

"Ma'am, you are serious. The merchant ships of the Qin family have transported more than a dozen shipments of grain recently to help the Lin'an Prefecture in disaster relief. My husband and I admire it very much."

"Then how can it be the same? Even the big things can't go beyond the grace of saving lives. You and Zheng'er are of the same generation, how about I call you Xi'er?"

"of course can."

"Is there something going on at Xi'er's house in three days? I heard that Shenjia Village is located at the foot of Shennong Mountain. The scenery is picturesque. Master and I are also welcome to join in the fun?"

"Waiting for Master Qin and Mrs. Qin, they will sweep the couch to welcome them."

"Since I already call you Xi'er, call me Auntie."

"Aunt Qin."

Shen Xingqi beside her also called out to her aunt under Mrs. Qin's expectant eyes, and Mrs. Qin smiled even brighter.
