Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 332 Considerations of both parties, Xue Pan wants to snatch Xia Jingui (please subscribe and vote monthly)
When Xia Jingui returned home, he immediately informed his family about the incident.

Since his father died young, his mother is the only close relative in the family.

Therefore, I could only tell my mother about this matter.

When Xia's mother heard that the brother of the Empress of the West Palace was going to marry her daughter, her first reaction was to feel flattered.

However, when she heard her daughter talk about Xue Pan's stupid and vulgar appearance, she couldn't help but feel a little hesitant.

Although the Xia family was not a prominent scholar family, it was still an imperial merchant named in the Ministry of Household Affairs.

The osmanthus trees, sweet-scented osmanthus and other seedlings and flowers in the palace were all tribute from the Xia family.

After thinking about it again and again, Xia's mother decided to wait for a while before talking about it.

First, I need to find someone to personally inquire about the authenticity of the other party's identity.

In addition, after hearing what her daughter Jin Gui said, the other party will come to the house to propose marriage within three days.

Whether this was a casual talk or whether it was true, Xia's mother didn't know at the moment.

It's impossible to tell whether the other person is that kind of person just based on his daughter's words.

When Xia Jingui saw that her mother was hesitant about this matter, she suddenly became dissatisfied.

However, amid this dissatisfaction, the young lady from the Xia family also had some inner conflicts.

If what the man surnamed Xue said was true, he would still be considered a high achiever just by looking at the lintel.

But when he thought of the other party's vulgar, dark and depressed appearance, Xia Jingui suddenly felt a little off-putting.

All in all, Xue Pan currently belongs to the kind of food that is tasteless and a pity to throw away in his heart.

Seeing that her daughter was a little upset by this matter, Xia's mother came to her and said, "Why don't I ask your uncle what he means? He was an official in the court before, although he was not a high official. Son, but I also know a few people, so I can’t ask him to help inquire about this matter, and then we can make a decision.”

Hearing this, Xia Jingui nodded slightly and said, "That's fine. You go and ask him to help you inquire, and at the same time listen to his opinion before we talk about it. Anyway, there are still two days to do this."

Seeing that her daughter agreed, Xia's mother immediately called a carriage and drove to her brother's house.

Coincidentally, Xia Jingui's uncle originally worked in the Ministry of Punishment. Although he was not a high-ranking official, he only did things like assisting the heads of the Ministry of Punishment with document exchanges and copying.

But anyway, I also know a few people in the Penal Department Yamen.

After hearing what his sister said, he immediately went to the Ministry of Punishment and found the two former colleagues.

After some inquiring, I found out that there was indeed a man named Xue Pan, and indeed he was indeed Empress Xue’s brother.

However, the son of the Minister of Punishment and Xue Pan had a history of feuding.

People below have also heard of this situation.

Therefore, when Xia Jingui's uncle came to inquire about the situation, the people from the Ministry of Punishment revealed that the other party had hurt people.

However, they didn't say much because they were afraid that if the other party really got married to the Xia family, it would be bad for what they said to reach the other party's ears.

And Xia Jingui's uncle, after hearing the hurtful deeds of Xue Pan in Fengyue Land, was suddenly shocked and inexplicable.

Because he discovered a small detail. Judging from the time, this guy had just been released from the prison of the Ministry of Punishment after hurting someone, and he wanted to seduce his niece Xia Jingui before he got home.

This situation, even as a man, made him feel speechless.

This was simply a case of lust. He didn't succeed in the Land of the Wind and Moon, so he turned around and targeted the young lady from a good family.

Such a person would be spoiled if his niece married.

With this in mind, he immediately informed his sister about the matter after returning.

After Xia's mother heard about this, her inner balance instantly tilted.At this moment, she was already inclined not to climb this high branch.

She knew what her daughter's temper was like.

With her competitive character, no matter who she marries into, she will definitely not be willing to be a submissive and submissive woman.

And the man named Xue, judging from the incident of drinking flower wine and hurting others, is not a kind person.

If these two people are forced to live together, they will definitely live in peace.

Xia Jingui didn't have a good impression of Xue Pan at all, and after hearing this incident, the little attachment in his heart was instantly eliminated.

Coupled with the change in her mother's attitude, she has made up her mind that no matter when the other party comes to the house, she will just stay away from him.

With this in mind, Xia Jingui asked her mother to instruct the people below to close the door of the Xia family for three days. During this period, no one was allowed to enter the house.

After hearing her daughter's idea, Xia's mother immediately agreed.

After all, the other party's identity is there. If he really comes to propose marriage and refuses to accept it, it will indeed refute the other party's face.

It's hard to see guests behind closed doors like this, even if the other party comes, it's hard to say anything.

After Xue Pan returned to Xue's house, he asked the people below to go out to purchase the betrothal items, while he went to Gongniyuan alone to find his mother, Aunt Xue.

At this time, Xue Pan was in high spirits, and his heart was extremely hot.

Xia Jingui's charming appearance lingers in her mind all the time.

Especially the snow-white skin that can be broken by blows, is still very attractive even to Xue Pan who has been lingering in the land of wind and moon for a long time.

And the beauty mark on the corner of Xia Jingui's mouth made Xue Pan greedy to the core, and she couldn't wait to take a bite.

Under such circumstances, Xue Pan had already made plans.

I will take care of everything today and go to the Xia family to propose marriage early tomorrow morning.

However, when Xue Pan came to Tongniyuan and told Aunt Xue and sister Xue Baochai about the matter, they rejected it directly.

There are two main reasons. First, they don't believe in such a thing as love at first sight.

In their eyes, this important matter of marriage requires many considerations before making a final decision.

And Xue Pan's hurried behavior is completely inconsistent with the Xue family's way of doing things.

As for another point, the so-called imperial merchant Xue Pan said was not a good match in the eyes of Xue Baochai and her mother.

In that era, the status of businessmen was very low.

Only those who serve as officials and butchers are good matches.

Even if the other party is really an imperial businessman with the title of emperor, this is not a good match for the current Xue family.

Therefore, after Xue Pan arrived at Guniyuan, he was immediately put in a bad light.

However, the eldest young master of the Xue family has always had a dull and overbearing temperament.

In addition, this time he came out unscathed after walking around the prison of the Ministry of Punishments, and his courage became even greater.

When Xue Pan left Ganniyuan, he had already made up his mind.

Tomorrow I will come to propose marriage in person. If the other party doesn't agree, I will just rob him.

No matter what, he must get that girl named Xia Jingui within three days.
