Chapter 374： test (2)

   In Fan Zijin's opinion, the eldest lady of the Jin family is narrow-minded, and no matter how weak her face is, she can't hide the little tricks she is playing. Her vision is too narrow.

Although Miss Li is domineering, but fortunately, her dominance is comparable to her family background, but her eldest cousin is so good, so naturally she has to choose a better one.

Mu Yangling felt that the eldest lady of the Jin family was not good. She faced the contact with them directly, and her senses were more direct, so she said: "I think the three girls of the Li family are good."

"If it weren't for her, with the temper of Miss Li Er and Miss Jin, I'm afraid they would have quarreled on the spot. Although those ladies didn't interrupt at the time, they obviously had their own positions. If no one came out to stop them, they would definitely quarrel. They have equal identities, even if they have quarreled, but in the end it must be me who suffers."

Qi Haoran frowned, "So Miss Li San actually helped you out?"

Fan Zijin smiled and said: "Her main purpose is not to help A Ling, but she just doesn't want the Li family to have a conflict with the Jin family and make the Li family humiliated in front of everyone, but she did pull A Ling, um, share. For the sake of the family's reputation, you can temporarily suppress the conflict with your cousin." Fan Zijin frowned and said, "But this Li San girl has no good reputation in the city, so it can be seen that she has always been mediocre."

"Maybe others hide their clumsiness," Mu Yangling thought of her calm appearance, and became more and more sure of her judgment, saying: "I think her behavior is a little quiet."

Fan Zijin didn't speak, Qi Haoran thought for a long time, flashed back and forth in his mind about the situation of Miss Li San that he had investigated, and pondered: "I also think this Miss Li San is good, let's go, let's go to Big Brother and let Big Brother make up his mind. ."

Mu Yangling immediately jumped up and patted the grass clippings on his body, and followed him down the mountain with a basket, Fan Zijin could only slowly follow behind them.

Qi Haoran was eating in the dining room, and when he saw the three of them coming back, Mu Yangling was still wearing patched village girl clothes, he knew they were going out again, he lowered his head and continued to eat. The three standing in front of them, "Tell me, what did you do today?"

Qi Haoran was busy talking about what they planned to test those noble ladies, and described their performance vividly.

Most of the ladies who went on the outing this time were Qi Xiuyuan's blind date.

After two months of civil strife in the Jin Kingdom, the fourth prince Wulie finally won the throne, but he failed to suppress his brothers, and even a few tribes took the opportunity to break away from the Jin Kingdom, and the Mongols under their rule They also began to be dishonest, so facing Da Zhou, they couldn't find time to take revenge for the time being.

Therefore, we can only negotiate temporarily. Emperor Duanzong agreed to the peace talks after hesitating for a long time in the palace. Last month, the envoys appointed by the Jin Kingdom set off from the Jin Kingdom. They should have arrived at Lin'an Mansion at this time. Therefore, Qi Xiuyuan and Yuan The general's reward and punishment also came down.

Just as everyone thought, because they defended the conquered city, their merits outweighed their demerits, and because of their high reputation among the people, the emperor finally punished them. A pile of gold and silver jewelry.

For Qi Xiuyuan, it is better not to reward him, because all his rewards are collected by the Qi family in the capital, and in the end, none of them will fall into the hands of their brothers.

Therefore, after receiving the imperial decree for the rewards, Qi Xiuyuan wrote a note of gratitude to Dade, expressing that he would use all the rewards to help the disabled soldiers, and entrusted the Ministry of War to help with the accounting.

Typically, he would rather take advantage of outsiders than Qi's father and his concubine.

Although Qi Xiuyuan didn't get promoted, his reputation was on the rise. Everyone knows that the young and promising General Qi didn't say kiss, but the matchmaker who said kiss broke the threshold of the Qi family in an instant.

Most of the people who are willing to talk to Qi Xiuyuan about their relationship are officials around the third rank, both civil and military, but because the background of the Qi family and the family situation are there, people who are so good and distressed about their daughters must avoid them. It's a check, so it can be predicted that the quality is poor.

So when the Jingzhao Mansion heard the news, Qi Haoran began to make a fuss about choosing a daughter-in-law for the eldest brother, and the Xingzhou Mansion, Hanzhong Mansion and Jingzhao Mansion, many people also adhered to the principle of getting the moon first. Ask the matchmaker to step on the door of Qi's house.

Qi Xiuyuan felt that instead of leaving the marriage under the control of others, it would be better for him to do it himself, and choose the one that suits his heart anyway.

Therefore, during this time, he often went out on blind dates. Almost every other day, a father invited him out to drink tea, drink and eat, and then inadvertently met his daughter who was riding a horse or playing or returning home...

Fortunately, although Dazhou's etiquette is becoming more and more strict, the parents are still open-minded, and blind dates are still within the allowable range before getting married.

But getting married is not just about seeing each other, but knowing the family background is enough. For Qi Xiuyuan, the most important thing is to understand the character of the other person.

This kind of thing is usually a female relative, but his mother died early, and his stepmother couldn't rely on him. Even Rong Xuan's wife was not here, so it was impossible to ask her to come forward. There was no way, Qi Haoran could only call Fan Zijin and Mu Yangling. , find other ways to understand the character of those noble girls.

And this time out, Qi Haoran bought the low-level girls of some of the noble girls. The purpose was to give Mu Yangling the opportunity to contact them, inspect them, and how their character and conduct can only be determined by their words. Observing the world.

Qi Xiuyuan knew that the three children were for his own good, and he didn't reprimand them, but he also had his own source of information, so he didn't use the three children to come forward, lest the three of them make trouble again, Qi Xiuyuan said: "I already have it in my heart. Candidate, you don't have to go to work."

Qi Haoran asked enthusiastically, "Big brother, who is it?"

A smile appeared on the corner of Qi Xiuyuan's mouth, and said, "Like you, I have a crush on the three girls of the Li family, and I have already asked your eldest brother Rong to go to Xingyuan Mansion to invite the wife of Xuanfu Envoy as a matchmaker. As long as the Li family agrees to this marriage, I will Just write a book and ask the emperor to grant her marriage."

Fan Zijin said: "The Holy Guru will promise to grant marriage?"

Qi Haoran said with a smile: "It doesn't matter whether he agrees or not, the key is that the eldest brother has reported to the sage, and even the father should not want to interfere in the eldest brother's marriage."

Qi Xiuyuan nodded with a smile, "That's what I mean, so don't let me go out and run around these few days. What should you do? If you mess up the marriage, see how I deal with you."

Qi Haoran stuck out his tongue, knowing that his eldest brother's marriage was settled, his heart was suddenly fulfilled, and he happily pulled Mu Yangling out.

Mu Yangling tugged at the hand he was holding. Seeing that he couldn't pull it out, he could only let him hold it and asked, "Why did Brother Qi fall in love with Miss Li San?"

"What's so strange about this, after the eldest brother came to Jingzhao Mansion, the Li family was the most active. Isn't the first person who suggested that the eldest brother got married was the head of the Li family?" Qi Haoran said indifferently: "The eldest brother has been to the Li family several times. Second, isn't it normal to see Miss Li San who was pulled out? Big brother has such a bright eye, and you can naturally see that she has a good character at a glance."

Mu Yangling tilted his head and accepted this statement.

But is it really so? Only Qi Xiuyuan knew that it was not. What really moved his heart was the pale-faced girl Li San who had been standing in the hall and instructing people to fight against the wandering golden soldiers that night.
