Jia Min's Counterattack

Xiang Yunting habitually nodded in agreement, but it didn't mean he agreed with Zhen Yingjia's words, he just didn't dare and couldn't take any action against Zhen Yingjia.But the dissatisfaction with Lin Ruhai in his heart had reached its peak, and he didn't want to admit that he was jealous of Lin Ruhai.

Jia Min got up early in the morning and asked someone to deliver a post to Xie's family in Bird Clothes Lane, and then packed up the gifts prepared in advance, as well as the things that Xie asked her to bring, and filled a large cart full.The Lin family's mansion is only a quarter of an hour away from Bird Clothes Lane. Lin Ruhai didn't come together today, and Jia Min's carriage didn't stop at the gate. The Xie family actually removed the threshold and let the carriage enter through the gate.Jia Min was a bit puzzled by this approach, she was just a housewife, even when she went to Jia Dai Confucianism yesterday, she had never received such courtesy, even if she was the emperor's own county head, such behavior was a little too much.Jia Min frowned, and for a moment couldn't understand the reason why the Xie family did this, but at this time the carriage also stopped at the second gate, Jia Min didn't care to think too much, and got out of the carriage.As soon as he stood firmly, he saw an old woman and a group of female relatives saluting him. Jia Min hurried forward and grabbed the old woman's arm, "Old lady, don't do this! Isn't this a shame for me! I came to visit the old lady, so this made me uneasy!"

"The county lord came to Xie's house in person. I should bring the daughters of Xie's family to kneel to welcome me!" Although Xie's family is a family that has been passed down for thousands of years, it is no longer as powerful as it was back then. Among the many descendants of Xie's family, only three are in power Officials, these three are not of high rank, and none of them is a Beijing official. The Xie family, who is far away from the court, can still maintain today's glory in the south of the Yangtze River, but it is only because of the prestige of their ancestors.As for Mrs. Xie herself, she has no orders. She is respected by everyone in the circle of noble ladies in Jinling City, which shows that her personality and methods are very unusual.

"The old lady is polite, I am far away from the capital now, so I don't need to pay attention to these red tapes, not to mention that my relationship with sister Xie is very close, the old lady can be regarded as my elder, I am here today to visit the elder! "

"The county lord and the little girl love each other as sisters, the old man is very happy! The county lord invites the hall to serve tea!"

Jia Min and Mrs. Xie all moved to the reception hall in the backyard, and the little maids presented Mingqian Longjing. Jia Min observed carefully and found that both the master and the servants of the Xie family were very well behaved. The etiquette is observed, and the furnishings are also very exquisite and grand, showing the heritage of a thousand-year-old family everywhere.

Mrs. Xie introduced all her family members to Jia Min one by one, and Jia Min also gave them a meeting gift.Lin Lang, who came with him, was naturally loved by everyone, and received a lot of gifts for the meeting.After seeing the ceremony, Mrs. Xie asked people to leave first, leaving only her eldest daughter-in-law Wang Shi to serve by her side. This Wang Shi is the eldest daughter of the upright Wuyi Lane Wang family. A dignified and virtuous person.

Jia Min handed Mrs. Xie's letter to Mrs. Xie. After reading her daughter's letter, Mrs. Xie couldn't help but miss her, and her eyes couldn't help but get wet.

"Old lady, don't be sad. Sister Xie and Brother Li are singing in harmony. Master Li and Mrs. Li are also very lenient to Sister Xie. Both children are healthy and sensible. Sister Xie asked me to tell you that she lived in Li's house. Very good!" Jia Min comforted.

"I know! Even as a mother, I will inevitably miss her. No matter how good she says, I won't be at ease if I can't see her."

"I also understand the heart of the old lady. It's just that children want the old man to live a long and healthy life without any worries! Although you don't see sister Xie often, sister Xie definitely wants you to be happy all day long. You Just because of this, thank you sister and take care of yourself!"

"Thank you for the enlightenment, the county magistrate! It's okay that my daughter has been in the capital all the time. This spring, my son-in-law will take up the post in Shanxi! Shanxi doesn't need the capital, my daughter is going to suffer!"

"Old lady, as long as I thank my sister, the family of four can live happily anywhere, what do you think?"

The old lady Xie nodded, and changed the topic, "The county lord has been to Zhen's house?"

"I've been there! My natal family and the Zhen family are relatives, and my father sent a letter to Mr. Zhen when I came this time,"

The old lady Xie pondered for a moment and said: "The county lord is on good terms with my daughter, I have to remind the county lord a few words, lest the county lord be deceived and lose money!"

"Also ask the old lady for advice!"

"In this area of ​​the south of the Yangtze River, especially in Jinling City, the Zhen family is the dominant family. Although our Xie family is quite famous, everyone also looks at it for the sake of a thousand-year-old family. Unlike the Zhen family, they are genuine. overwhelming power."

Jia Min heard that Mrs. Xie was quite critical of the Zhen family in her words, so she smiled and said: "I also heard about this when I was in the capital!"

"Presumably the county lord knows something about what the Zhen family is doing, but the county lord knows that the Zhen family's hands are now reaching out to other places."

Jia Min's expression was expressionless, she just sipped her tea and listened carefully to Mrs. Xie's speech.The old lady Xie couldn't help admiring in her heart, this Jiamin county lord is so courageous, such a young man can have such a heart, this Jiamin county lord is also extraordinary!

The old lady Xie took a sip of tea and continued: "The Zhen family secretly opened several mines in Jiangxi and Hunan, including gold mines and iron mines! The county chief knows that these are not trivial! The Zhen family's ambitions are not small! "

Jia Min smiled and looked at Mrs. Xie and said, "Old lady, I'm just a housewife. Although I have received the emperor's favor and made me the county magistrate, I don't have the ability to take care of these things!" In fact, Jia Min He had already learned from Lin Ruhai what Zhen Yingjia had done in Jiangnan. Jia Min even suspected that the emperor knew about these things. At least the Zhen family will be fine while old lady Zhen is alive.The old lady Xie told her this, but she wanted to spread these things to the capital through her mouth, or wanted to use Lin Ruhai to suppress the Zhen family.Jia Min is not stupid, he will not be used by others, and he will not let anyone destroy the layout of the emperor and Lin Ruhai.

"Does the old lady know about the relationship between the old lady Zhen and the emperor?"

"I know a little bit about this. The emperor's forgiveness to the Zhen family is also due to the presence of Mrs. Zhen. The emperor is nostalgic. Just looking at how generous the emperor is to his father Rong Rong, one knows that the emperor will not punish the elderly lightly." Mrs. Xie knew It is not so easy to persuade Jia Min to make a move, but she is not in a hurry. She must first get Jia Min's approval and let Jia Min stand on the same side as the Xie family.
