Twin Brocade

Chapter 593 Disrespectful
However, in this hustle and bustle, there was nothing wrong with the failed candidates.They were dejected, licking their wounds alone, preparing for the next fight.

And when we meet again next time, everyone wasted another three years.Perhaps, the candidates among them will give up their Jinshi status due to various reasons.

The students who went to Beijing from other places packed their luggage and left the capital one after another.There were a lot fewer people in Luoyang City, but the lively atmosphere continued unabated.

At a flower viewing party, Mrs. Chu walked slowly on the veranda, as if waiting for something.

Not long after she was made to wait, a maid came up and whispered something in her ear.Mrs. Chu nodded to show she understood, then turned and walked in another direction.

The timing was just right, as soon as she walked to a moon gate, she saw the servant girl helping Si Lansheng out of it.

"Madam, long time no see." Mrs. Chu said calmly.

A look of surprise flashed across Si Lansheng's face, and then he smiled and said, "Yes, it's been a long time, but it's a coincidence." What a coincidence, it was clearly waiting for her on purpose.

Since the divorce, the relationship between the two families has returned to the previous situation, even more deliberately avoided than before.

After all, although the divorce did not hurt the peace this time, no matter what the reason is, there will always be some subtle embarrassment when meeting in such a social occasion.

Both Si Lansheng and Mrs. Chu are women who understand the rules of the backyard, and they understand that if they meet, even if they don't talk, there will always be some good people who will discuss right and wrong.

As for the divorce, the two families have a tacit understanding and want to forget it and fade it away.

So, with Mrs. Chu's character and ability, how could she meet her by such a coincidence?He also took the initiative to greet him, which is not unusual.

Si Lansheng saw through this point, but he couldn't tell the truth. He would hear Mrs. Chu's intentions before explaining.

Mrs. Chu made a gesture towards the garden, and said: "It's rare to have a fate, why don't we go for a walk together. I happen to have something to do, please ask the eldest lady to help me with an idea."

Si Lansheng was not surprised by her invitation, and said with a smile: "As long as I can help, I will definitely not refuse. It's all my fault, and your son is on the list. I have never personally asked for such a happy event. Congratulations, madam."

Chu Mo won the Jinshi, and Si Lansheng sent his family to send congratulatory gifts to his door.In-laws can't do it, and they can't be enemies, right?Avoiding suspicion is avoiding suspicion, and the etiquette is indispensable.

The two walked along the flower path, and Mrs. Chu said: "I'm not considered an outsider with the eldest wife. I'll just say it straight. I don't know if the marriage of sister Xian under the knee of the eldest brother of the wife's natal family has been agreed upon." People?"

"Ordinarily, I shouldn't take the liberty to ask the eldest lady to come here. But after thinking about it, I really don't have a better candidate than you." Mrs. Chu's tone was full of apology.

Indeed, even if the marriage of the Fang and Chu families failed, they were the two families who had discussed marriage.Fang Jinshu and Chu Mo were once an unmarried couple.

With such a relationship, it would seem a bit rude to entrust Chu Mo's marriage to Si Lansheng again.

But when Mrs. Chu said this, Si Lansheng understood the reason.She waved her hand and said: "Mrs. Chu has a good intention, I thank you in advance on behalf of Sister Xian."

She said that only because Si Huixian, the eldest daughter of her elder brother Si Qiliang's knee, had a serious illness two years ago, and there were some bad gossips.

Serious illness, just claimed to the outside world.

Si Huixian is two years older than Fang Jinhui, and it's time to discuss marriage.Fang Jinhui's marriage was arranged early, and her marriage has also been watched for a long time.

However, at the critical moment when the Si family was optimistic about their marriage and both families tested each other's tone.At a summer banquet, Si Huixian accidentally fell into the water, and happened to be spotted by several men visiting the garden.

The summer shirt is light and thin, and after being soaked in water, it is attached to the body, and the skin is faintly visible.

Fortunately, the servant girl serving Si Huixian reacted quickly and quickly blocked her, so she was not seen more.But such a short effort of a few breaths is a fatal injury to a woman's reputation.

Not only did the marriage being discussed come to nothing, after that Si Huixian fell seriously ill and fell silent without going out.Except for blood relatives, she no longer set foot on other social occasions.

Although the Si family said that she was recuperating from an illness, the reason for this could be known with a little inquiring.With such a reputation, her marriage has been delayed year after year.

Si Lansheng was well aware of this matter.

Where Si Huixian accidentally fell into the water that day, she was clearly framed by someone.The most suspected person was the woman who married the man who had discussed marriage with the Si family.

But no evidence was found then, and even less likely now.Even though the Si family was annoyed, they had no choice but to admit this dumb fault.

In private, Xu Yue told Si Lansheng about this matter, and it's not like the Si family didn't take action.But no matter what, Si Huixian's marriage was delayed like this.

Seeing that she has reached the age of Ji for more than two years, and the marriage is still not settled, it has become a heart problem for Xu Yue.

Therefore, Mrs. Chu's intention to come to find Si Lansheng to be an intermediary again is really very well thought out.Because of Si Huixian's situation, it was not appropriate for her to invite anyone to her door. Only Si Lansheng, the aunt of the Si family, would make Xu Yue think otherwise.

"The eldest lady is too polite." Mrs. Chu said with a smile: "I met Miss Xian a few times when she was young. When I grow up, I also know her character."

Since she opened her mouth, she has already inquired about Si Huixian very clearly.

In terms of family status, the Chu family is far inferior to the Si family.Dr. Chu's official position is very important, but Si Huixian's grandfather was the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, her father was a doctor in the Ministry of War, and her eldest brother Si Qiliang was a Jinshi in the third year of Qinglong's reign, and now he also has an official position.

Even in the court hall, the families whose grandparents and grandchildren have been officials in the court at the same time for three generations can be counted with one slap.

Si Huixian's natal backstage is not hard.

The only fly in the ointment is that her reputation has been dragged down, which has caused her to pass the age of discussing marriage.Otherwise, how can we wait for the Chu family to ask someone to propose marriage at this time?At her age, she was married a long time ago, and she might have a child.

But even so, Si Huixian was not something that Chu Mo could ask to marry.Therefore, when Chu Mo became a Jinshi and qualified to be an official, she came to Si Lansheng to talk about it.

How could Mrs. Chu not care about the marriage of her only son-in-law?Since the Fang family retired, she has been paying attention.When she fell in love with Si Huixian, she began to plan silently, waiting for the results of Chunwei's announcement.

Fortunately, Chu Mo did not disappoint her, and obtained the honor of Jinshi, which gave her the qualification to propose marriage to the Si family.

Otherwise, she had no choice but to lower her requirements and ask to marry another woman who was far inferior to Si Huixian but had a virtuous character.When Chu Mo reached his age, he had another foot on the threshold of officialdom, and his marriage could not be delayed any longer.
