Rebirth: The first daughter-in-law

That night, due to an accident, the lanterns caught fire on South Street in Beijing, causing the lanterns of all the stalls to catch fire, causing chaos among the crowd.

According to the results of the government inspection the next day, eight people were burned, and dozens of them were trampled. As for the person who was burned to death, it was naturally a means of covering up the murder. Afterwards, the government issued an order,

It is prohibited to use fire in lanterns within three years of the Lantern Festival, which also bans Lantern Festival activities in disguise.

When Xie Jingya returned to Xie's Mansion to ask for Mrs. Xie's safety, Aunt Su nervously asked if she was injured. Her concerned expression was really comparable to that of her own mother, but Xie Jingya just said lightly that she was not injured.

"Where are the other sisters?" Xie Jingya glanced at Aunt Su and asked.

"They have just come back not long ago, and now they have gone back to the courtyard to rest. You should also rest quickly!" Mrs. Xie said tiredly, waving her hand to signal everyone to leave.

When Xie Jingya left, she always felt that Aunt Su's expression was a little strange, but after tonight's torment, she was very tired, so she went straight back to her yard.

Banxiang prepared some tea and snacks. When he saw Xie Jingya coming back, he took some of the still warm tea and snacks and asked, "Miss, do you want some?"

Xie Jingya waved her hand, indicating no, "What happened tonight?"

Banxiang put the tea and food back into place, and then replied: "When the ladies came back, there was some commotion in the house. I heard that there was a fire on South Street tonight, and the crowd was in chaos. There were many people.

Some were stepped on the ground and injured, and some were pushed into the water."

"It's normal for a fire to cause confusion. Are any of the ladies in the house injured?" Xie Jingya asked calmly.

"Miss Seventh seemed to have been squeezed into the water by the crowd. Fortunately, she was rescued." Banxiang paused for a while and continued: "Besides Miss Seven, there was also a man who fell into the water. Miss Seven also fell in.

Rescued by that man."

"Does that person know that she is the seventh lady of the Xie Mansion? Has he seen the appearance of the seventh lady?" Xie Jingya continued to ask. It seems that things have really gone wrong for the Xie Mansion this year, and things that have dishonored the reputation have happened one after another.

"This servant doesn't know about this." Banxiang added, "But when the seventh lady fell into the water, the lady in the mansion called for help, but she didn't say which lady it was."

"This means that those outside only know that a young lady in the Xie Mansion fell into the water and was rescued by a man, but they don't know which young lady in the Xie Mansion it was, right?"

"Well, that's it." Banxiang replied, "I heard that many people saw it, because at that time there were many officers, soldiers and people carrying water to put out the fire in the river."

Xie Jingyi is very ambitious at heart. It would be better if the man who rescued her was a noble man, but if he was a poor man, Xie Jingyi would definitely cause trouble in the Xie Mansion.

"Where did you rest tonight, sir?" Xie Jingya was very satisfied with her father's performance these days.

"I still rested at Aunt An's place." Banxiang answered truthfully.

Xie Jingya smiled, picked up a cup of tea and took two sips.

Seeing that the questions were finished, Banxia served Xie Jingya to rest.

The next day, a woman with a big flower on her ear and a big flower on her temples came to Xie's house. She was dressed like a matchmaker. She smiled and asked to see Mrs. Xie. The housekeeper asked the old lady for her opinion before letting the man into the house.

Mrs. Xie naturally cannot turn away this matchmaker. You must know that a lot of news cannot be transmitted without these matchmakers. If Mrs. Xie refuses to meet today, then this matchmaker may say something to discredit her.

Xie Mansion, rich people are most taboo about these things.

The person who came to the door was Matchmaker Wang from Xicheng Street. Mrs. Xie, the second wife and Aunt Su were all in the hall.

"The old lady is here to say hello to the old lady." After saying this, he gave a salute, then gave a salute to the second wife, and a half salute to Aunt Su.

Mrs. Xie didn't ask what brought Matchmaker Wang here. She just chatted for a few words about what kind of marriages had happened in recent days. Matchmaker Wang was not in a hurry and went back one by one, and then talked about the Xie family.

.

"If you want to talk about this marriage, sometimes there really has to be a fate. No, my wife, Mrs. Wang, came to my door today. If it hadn't been for the water in South Street yesterday, the boy from the Zhang family in the west of the city might have gone to the Xie Mansion.

My young lady missed this fate." Matchmaker Wang changed the topic to the main topic.

"The Zhang family in the west of the city?" Aunt Su said calmly.

"Yes, it's Zhang Yong, the eldest son of Shopkeeper Zhang of Zhangji Grocery Store in the west of the city. Although his family is not as good as Xie's Mansion, it still has enough food and clothing. The most important thing is that this is a fate given by God.

What a gift." Matchmaker Wang said with a grin, not paying attention to her frozen face.

"This is just a joke. Zhang Ji's shop in the west of the city has nothing to do with our Xie family. None of our ladies from the Xie family have any fate with the Zhang family. Are you kidding me?

." The second wife opened her mouth and spoke coldly.

What kind of thing is that? A small shopkeeper who runs a grocery store actually wants to follow the Xie family to climb high. He really doesn't know what is good and what is wrong, and he doesn't look in the mirror to see what kind of virtue he is.

"Second Madam, what you said is wrong. Yesterday, when we were walking in the water on South Street, Miss Xie Fu fell into the water, but the boy from the Zhang family rescued her. At that time, there were many officers, soldiers and civilians who saw the boy from the Zhang family holding her up.

, The bodies of the two people are wet and they are stuck together. If this is not fate from God, then it is fate from God." Matchmaker Wang smiled, but there was a hint of threat in her words.

.

The reason why Matchmaker Wang is willing to take this job is not only because of the generous money given by the Zhang family, but more importantly, the boy from the Zhang family is her nephew. If she can get into the Xie Mansion, it will be a big deal.

It was a matter of Guangmenlin, so she had to facilitate this marriage no matter what. Of course, the Zhang family promised her that as long as she got this marriage, any way to get rich in the future would definitely belong to Matchmaker Wang.

"I've heard a joke today. A six-year-old girl who hasn't fully grown yet fell into the water and was rescued by someone. It's a fate that God has to give." The second wife sneered and said harshly.

.

"Second Madam, this is an unreasonable statement. When the boy from the Zhang family rescued Miss Xie Fu, he didn't have a six-year-old body. He had a nine-year-old body if not a twelve-year-old. After all, he was still old enough to talk about marriage.

Well, besides, the marriage can be decided first, and the date of getting married can be postponed." Matchmaker Wang had already made preparations, so she still smiled in the face of cynicism.

She and the Zhang family were determined to be related to this family. She did not believe that if the rumors spread outside, the Xie family could not ignore the reputation of the young lady. Besides, if these rumors spread, those high-ranking officials would not want to be with her again.

Miss Xie Fu said it was dear.
