As soon as Jingheng left, Qin Xiaoxiao and Princess Huguo couldn't cheer up for several days, and even the two little ones were not as active as usual. It was not until Qinshan Lin Qiuniang came to the capital that she and her mother went to Huguo Temple to prepare for the funeral.

After Jingheng prayed for safety, the group of people gradually calmed down.

On this day, the family was enjoying the cool weather by the waterside pavilion. A maid came up to inform them, but it was Mrs. Xu who came to the door and was waiting in the front hall.

Qin Xiaoxiao was a little surprised. After talking to Qinshan Lin Qiuniang, she went back to Anyiyuan and changed into decent clothes before going to the front hall to meet the guests.

"Master's wife, why are you here on such a hot day?" She walked into the room and greeted Mrs. Xu with a smile. Seeing that the annoyance on Mrs. Xu's face had not yet dissipated, she couldn't help but scolded: "If you have anything to do, send someone to let me know."

It’s just a word, there’s no need for you to come here in person.”

She studied and became literate under Xu Ze at the age of four, and she was not considered a teacher until she was fourteen years old. During these ten years, Xu Ze taught her carefully and did not hold back at all because she was a woman. Even if he repeatedly used the ruler of her

, and also thinking about her wholeheartedly.

She will never forget this strong friendship between teachers and students throughout her life. She respects Xu Ze and Mrs. Xu from the bottom of her heart and will visit them every year and festival. In the past two years, she has brought her twins with her, looking forward to Xu Ze's future.

If you like them, you will be willing to teach them and solve their problems in the future.

Mrs. Xu, who was over fifty years old, had gray hair on her temples, but she was in good spirits. After hearing what Qin Xiaoxiao said, she said unhappily: "Am I so useless? What can I do if I only walk a few steps? I stay in the house every day.

You can’t even die of suffocation here!”

Qin Xiaoxiao coaxed: "The weather is too hot. Aren't I afraid that you will suffer from heat stroke? This has nothing to do with whether you are successful or not."

Mrs. Xu glared at her, did not continue talking to her, and explained the purpose of her visit straightforwardly: "I have to ask you for something. You can help me find out later. If it can be done, I will definitely give you a thick red envelope.

.”

Qin Xiaoxiao heard this and said sternly: "What are you asking me for? My wife's business is my business. You don't have to be polite to me!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Xu became more reserved in her speech: "I remember that your brother is the same age as you. He is nineteen this year, right?"

Qin Xiaoxiao's heart moved, and she nodded with a smile: "Well, it will be Sanbao's nineteenth birthday in a while, and I'm still thinking about what gift to give."

Mrs. Xu probably knew that she had guessed it, so she simply said openly: "When your sister Yan'er reaches the age of leaving the court, her parents want to find a son-in-law who knows her roots and treats her well. I immediately thought of Sanbao."

Speaking of this, she felt a little embarrassed.

Earlier, she had taken a fancy to Dabao and wanted her second granddaughter to marry him. At that time, other people in the Xu family also thought it was feasible. As a result, Dabao abandoned his literary career and went into business. The eldest son of the Xu family felt that it was inappropriate, so he suppressed the matter and never

mentioned.

At the moment, she is inevitably a little uncomfortable when it comes to her granddaughter and her three treasures.

Suppressing her thoughts, she suddenly thought of something and asked anxiously: "Did your second uncle and second aunt not propose marriage to the third treasure?"

Qin Xiaoxiao's guess was confirmed. While thinking about whether this marriage could be done, he quickly replied: "No, Sanbao was so focused on studying that he didn't have time to think about these things. Fortunately, he is not too old and has a good family at home."

It’s all up to him.”

Mrs. Xu felt relieved and the smile on her face deepened: "You know Yan'er's character very well. I have watched Sanbao grow up. He is a very good child. If the two of them are destined to be together, they will be both talented and beautiful."

A perfect match."

The Xu family has two sons. Xu Yan is the youngest daughter of the second son, who just got haircut this year. Not to mention her cute appearance, the Xu family has a very strict upbringing, and both men and women have first-class moral character, which has never been passed down.

There have been bad ones.

Qin Xiaoxiao has been studying in the Xu family for ten years and has watched Xu Yan grow up, so she naturally knows that she is a good girl.

However, when it comes to Sanbao's life-long matters, his opinion is the most important, so he looked at Mrs. Xu and said solemnly: "Master's wife, I want to check Sanbao's tone first. It's just that this silly boy has just entered the Hanlin Academy and wants to serve the imperial court.

I don’t know if I have enlightened myself.”

Sanbao participated in this year's Spring Festival and won the top spot in one fell swoop and became Huiyuan. During the palace examination, he also performed extremely well and was without any suspense selected as the number one scholar by Emperor He of the Yuan Dynasty.

Since then, the Qin family has become a sensation, with two number one scholars in one family and one number one in the sixth grade.

Qin Xiaoxiao's bet of two thousand taels of silver increased fivefold to ten thousand taels, making a net profit of eight thousand taels. The other bettors also made at least two hundred taels, and they all thanked her profusely at that time.

Let them make a small fortune.

Mrs. Xu understood what she was saying, waved her hand and said, "You can feel free to ask, it doesn't matter even if Sanbao doesn't mean it, it's not like my granddaughter can't get married!"

Qin Xiaoxiao felt relieved and agreed that he would get a reply within three days and would not let the Xu family wait any longer.

Mrs. Xu didn't stay long, ate two pieces of iced watermelon and left in a hurry.

Qin Xiaoxiao came to the waterside with more than half of the iced watermelon left, and at the urging of the two little guys, gave each of them a small piece.

Heitan also came over to join in the fun, meowing around her, and finally got a large piece of iced watermelon, which made the twins so greedy that they whimsically exchanged it for a small piece of their own watermelon.

Heitan was not stupid. He was tired of being harassed by Mo Mo. He ran to the rockery with a watermelon in his mouth, and even Mo Mo angrily called it a stingy one. He would not give it the delicious ones next time.

Qin Shan and Lin Qiuniang were very happy to see it. When they finished eating the watermelon silently and jumped on their laps to act coquettishly, racking their brains to take a bite of the melon, they refused without mercy.

In short, I will love you and I will never condone you.

The old and young people laughed and laughed for a while, and Lin Qiuniang asked casually: "Mrs. Xu came to see you on this hot day. Is there something very important?"

Qin Xiaoxiao hadn't asked Sanbao yet and didn't know what he meant. After hearing her mother's question, she said vaguely: "When my granddaughter reached the age of leaving the pavilion, she wanted to find someone who knew everything and asked me if there was anything here.

The right person."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Shan slapped his thigh fiercely and said: "Look for me wherever you are, Sanbao is a ready candidate!"

Lin Qiuniang's eyes lit up and she nodded repeatedly: "Isn't it appropriate for the Xu family to know everything about the Three Treasures if the wealth is not going to outsiders? When I came here, your grandma was still talking about the marriage of the Three Treasures. If these two can get married, I will be extremely happy!"

Qin Xiaoxiao did not expect that her parents agreed that this marriage could be done. Although it was funny, she also thought that this marriage might be possible, so she said: "I will have someone guard the entrance of the Hanlin Academy in a while, and let Sanbao come over to have dinner. Let's

Talk to him."

Qin Shan and Lin Qiuniang naturally had no objections and asked her to just do it.

However, Lin Qiuniang thought that the Xu family and Erfang's family backgrounds were very different, and they might look down on the Three Treasures, so she felt that it was inappropriate to do so: "I think it's better to ask the Xu family's opinion on the Three Treasures first. If they are satisfied with the Three Treasures, we can talk to the Three Treasures again."

Not too late, otherwise Sanbao thinks it's good, and the Xu family will think Sanbao wants to climb high."

Qin Xiaoxiao said hurriedly: "It's okay, there are no outsiders here, it doesn't hurt that we ask Sanbao first."

Hearing what she said, Lin Qiuniang stopped trying to stop her and inquired carefully about the Xu family's little granddaughter. Seeing that her daughter spoke highly of the Xu family's little granddaughter, she became more and more hopeful that this marriage would come true.

In the evening, Sanbao came over. After dinner, Qin Xiaoxiao called him aside and asked him what he thought of Xu Yan.

She had studied with Xu Ze before, and Sanbao often went to Xu's house, so naturally she had met Xu Yan. Xu Yan was four years younger than the two siblings, so the three of them could not hang out in the same place, but they were still familiar.

Sanbao was not stupid. He understood his cousin's intention and asked, "Do you like her very much?"

Qin Xiaoxiao was speechless: "It doesn't matter whether I like it or not, as long as you like it."

Sanbao smiled slightly: "The woman you like must be extraordinary."

Qin Xiaoxiao stared at him: "I'm telling you something serious, don't talk about him."

Sanbao said helplessly: "I haven't seen her since you started teaching. How should I answer this?"

Qin Xiaoxiao thought for a while and said: "When you Mu Xiu, I will invite my wife to the tea house for tea. When the two of you meet, if you like each other, we will settle the marriage. If you two don't like each other, then we will

Pretend there is no such thing.”

When San Bao heard the words, a pair of big, hopeful eyes appeared in his mind. When he came to his senses, he found that he had nodded unconsciously.

Qin Xiaoxiao was overjoyed: "Sure, it's settled. I'll go to the Xu Mansion in person tomorrow to discuss it with my wife."

Sanbao opened and closed his mouth, but in the end he said no objection.

After breakfast the next day, Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't wait to rush to the Xu Mansion and talk to Mrs. Xu.

Mrs. Xu thought it would be good for the two young men to meet, so she called Xu Yan over and asked her what she meant.

Xu Yan knew her family's thoughts a long time ago and was not averse to being together with San Bao. She shyly and timidly agreed in front of Qin Xiaoxiao.

There are still seven or eight days before Sanbao's rest day, but Qinshan Lin Qiuniang, who has been in the capital for less than half a month, can't wait any longer and hurries back to the village to tend the crops.

Now is the season when weeds are growing wildly. If we don't clear them in time, this year's harvest will be in jeopardy. If we don't rush back in time, the two elders of the family will definitely not see the crops being destroyed by weeds, and they will have to work in the scorching heat.

Mr. Qin and Mrs. Miao are too old to bear the fatigue. If the heat breaks out, it will be useless even if their intestines turn green.

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't want to stay too long. He repeatedly told them to spend money to hire someone if they couldn't do anything, and then sent them off with large and small packages.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day for Sanbao to take a rest, and she happily went with Sanbao to the teahouse she had made an appointment with Mrs. Xu. Afraid that the two young people would be embarrassed when they first met, she even brought the twins to liven up the atmosphere.

Not long after the group of four arrived, Mrs. Xu came over with Xu Yan.

The moment he saw Xu Yan, Sanbao was obviously stunned. He didn't expect that the little girl who bumped into his arms recklessly many years ago would grow into the beautiful girl in front of him who was so slim and graceful that he didn't dare to recognize her.

Xu Yan noticed his gaze and quietly raised her eyebrows. The moment she saw Sanbao's face clearly, a look of surprise appeared on her beautiful face.
