Mei Wenhe helped his mother, Mrs. Mei, hurried back to her house, all the way she felt that people passing by outside the carriage were holding back their smiles and pointing at her house, and when they reached the door of the house, they didn't even dare to lift their heads, and quickly opened the door to cover their faces and sneak in He yelled and quickly closed the door.When Mei Hanlin came back from the yamen at night, he saw Fa's wife tearful. He said that the Xue family's wife was rude, and that the Xue family had no way to teach their daughters.In short, he made a fuss about retiring from his family, and he had to punish Xue Pan before he could vent his anger.

Mei Hanlin heard that his family had fallen out with Xue's family, and he stood frozen in the living room for a long time without making a sound, and only when he came to his senses did he want to ask the family law to teach his son a lesson.Mrs. Mei stopped him screaming and scolded him: "Obviously the daughter of the Xue family is not good enough for my son. If you don't argue with the Xue family, why do you beat me? If you touch my son today, I will I won’t let it go with you!” Saying that, even the chairs and stools overturned Sapo.Mei Hanlin had no choice but to tremble all over with anger, pointed at her and shouted: "A woman's opinion! If you hadn't indulged that evil obstacle, he would have developed a temper that can't be raised, with high eyes and low hands! Besides, the girl in his room What's going on with the child, you don't know what's going on? Also, why did your mother insist on saving that evil child when she just left? Now the Xue family must know something, and they are waiting for us to step into the pit. It's good for you He turned his face up to be beaten, and everyone knows that after the beating, he still wants to publicize it, because he thinks he has not lost face enough!" Mrs. Mei's face was crossed with snot and tears, and she said in a low voice, "Is it possible that my son is raised by myself? Can't it work? Whose elder brother doesn't arrange people in the house when he grows up? Besides, there are one or two bastards in the house and it's worth making a fuss. What if they have been sent to their hometown? After all, they are our family's flesh and blood, so it's hard to be a good grandson I don’t want achievements anymore, how many people can’t ask for a brother, my niece from afar from my mother’s family has two nieces in my life, how can I be sorry for your Mei family!” Mei Hanlin suddenly felt dizzy: “The Xue family is not easy to provoke!”

Mrs. Mei twisted her neck and said disdainfully: "No matter what, it's only a one-term imperial merchant, and last month, the higher-ups were displeased, and a good position was moved to Qingshui Yamen, what are you afraid of!" Mei Hanlin was anxious and angry Stamped his feet and let out a "boom": "If the Xue family has no ability at all, how can they keep such a big business, how many families in the capital alone can tear it up and eat it raw. "It's not that you haven't heard of it. Do you really think their family is vegetarian? Not to mention anything else, just their in-laws are enough to crush us to death. Don't talk about the previous dispute between King Xue and Mrs. Xue, no matter what The aunt and concubine of the Wang family have never committed anything that would embarrass their natal family, I am afraid that now that the two families have reconciled as before, you are very brave in jumping out!" After hearing this, Mrs. Mei suddenly thought of the four kings and eight fathers Angry, and the Xue family is old relatives with many wealthy families in Jinling, a layer of cold sweat broke out on the back and cried: "What should I do? I'm afraid I have offended the Xue family to death today." Said After that, he told Mei Hanlin about today's events in detail. After hearing this, Mei Hanlin only sighed and said: "The matter has come to this point, and there is nothing to do for a while. The child needs to be looked for, and he has to look for it. Leave it alone, and don't ask Wenhe to go outside for the next two days."

He originally wanted to wait a few days for the Xue family to calm down and then come to the house to make amends, so maybe this matter will be over.After all, no matter how a woman withdraws from her marriage, it's hard to say, unless the Xue family really wants to tear their face apart, otherwise it won't go to that point.Unexpectedly, Xue Pan and Xue Biao invited Lin Ruhai to come to Mei's house together on the holiday two days later to ask for the token that Bao Qin's father had left with Mei's house.

Lin Ruhai has already stepped into the cabinet with one foot now, and he will be promoted as long as one of the bosses in the cabinet steps down. thing.And Mei Hanlin is just a junior official of the fifth grade in the Hanlin Academy. In the past, it was not easy to strike up a conversation with Mr. Lin, but today he would come to his house.Just as he was tremblingly inviting Lin Ruhai into the study, the concierge ran over and said that Jia She, the first-rank general of the Rongguo Mansion, came to the door.Although Jia's family is not the most important thing now, after all, the title of first-rank general is there, and it is a hereditary title. Mei Hanlin is even worse, and Fu ran out to welcome people in through the gate.Seeing Lin Ruhai sitting here, Jia She looked at Lin Ruhai sitting here, smiled and cupped hands, and began to exchange greetings with "brother-in-law" and "brother-in-law", and there were Xue Pan and Xue Biao waiting attentively beside him. Is it Lin's place or not Jia's?

Mei Hanlin originally had extravagant hopes, maybe Xue's family invited in-laws to marry their sons and daughters, but Xue Pan rolled his eyes and stretched out his hand and said, "Bring it, my uncle threw your money into the water that day. I heard a ringing sound, only the white jade panqiu pendant that was used as a token at that time came back, your son is going to marry that noble girl, and don't try to make up my sister again." I couldn't help but spit in my heart. It's quite big, and it's a noble family, and it's a noble girl, and I don't care about the quality of my materials, so I just keep daydreaming!

Hearing what he said, Mei Hanlin's voice was cool, and he just smiled and said: "Master Lin, General Jia, Uncle Xue, Second Master Xue, it's because I don't repair my inner curtains, and I can't teach my children well. I'm sorry Mrs. Xue And Miss Xue. But the marriage decided by the parents is not broken immediately, and it hurts the dignity of Miss Xue, isn't it? This month, I will let my unworthy son clean up the house, and the bastard will also adopt relatives. Don't embarrass Second Miss Xue anymore. Besides, Master Lin also received the Minister of Rites, he is the most ceremonial, his wives are all good, concubines are involved in business, Second Miss Xue is a lady from a famous family, how can she care about those things."

Lin Ruhai shook his sleeves and just smiled, bowed his head and blew on the teacup to drink tea, but Jia She patted his stomach and laughed twice and cursed: "Do you really think our family is a kindness hall in Beijing? Take it easy The girl brought a dowry to support your family? Pooh! You can earn a lot of property for nothing if you turn your mouth, I don’t dare to dream of such a sweet dream.” There is nothing good to say about a meal, and Mei Hanlin stared blankly. Eyes wide open.Lin Ruhai waited until Jia She had scolded enough, then put down the teacup, smiled and said to Mei Hanlin, "Is there any embarrassment between the girl's house and the concubine's room in your son's room? When did your mother go? The birthday of your eldest grandson seems to be a bit out of date. This official can handle it."

Speaking of this, Mei Hanlin still doesn't understand anything. The Xue family is afraid that they have already found out the messy things in their own family, and they are waiting for an opportunity to explode.If he refuses to accept his softness and speak out and call off the marriage today, he is afraid that an impeachment document will be placed on today's desk tomorrow, and the black yarn on his head can almost be taken off.At the moment, he could only beg a few more words, whether he was unwilling to take out the jade pendant that Xue Tiaobaoqin's father gave him as a token that day and return it to Xue's family, saying that the marriage between the two families was over, and then sent the debt-collecting guests out.

Two days later, Jinyiwei's spies suddenly caught a group of kidnappers around Gyeonggi, and coincidentally, there were two elder brothers from the Mei family among them.Shen Yu and Shen Tongzhi brought the two boys to Mei's mansion in person. When they met Mei Hanlin, they knew that they had heard that the Mei family was looking for children. These two were exactly the same as the rumors in the market, so I came to ask if it was true. If it wasn't for him, he would be sent to the Children's Charity Bureau and other people's homes to be taken back to be a moth.If they were sober, they might be in a hurry to send the two children out, but seeing that Mei Hanlin hesitated several times, he still recognized the children and sent them to Mrs. Mei in the backyard, and sent Master Jin Yiwei out with gratitude.After the person left, he hurriedly coaxed the children and asked how they were called to abduct him. The younger one said he was angry, and the older one said that he was going out to play tricks.All the way, they were only closed in the carriage or the cabin, and they didn't see the kidnapper's face, only heard the voice with a Longxi accent.

The Xue family is a wealthy family in Jinling, and most of the members of the family are from Jinling, how can someone speak with a Longxi accent?Mei Hanlin just shook his head and lamented that the Xue family was careful and couldn't find a loophole, so he had to swallow the bad breath and talk to his son about it.However, almost everyone in the capital heard that his family already had two concubines, and they refused to take the girl with him so easily, so they had to delay it year after year, and it was impossible to think about the benefits of the Xue family.

When the matter was settled, Baochai specially opened a large treasury and found a roll of Mi Fu's Misty Rain and Xiaoxiang Map and a Warring States Period wrong gold, silver, bronze, four dragons and four phoenix plans, and handed them over to Xue Pan, Xue Bian and Jia She. The way is to thank him for upholding justice with his family.When Jia Amnesty saw these two things, he liked them very much, and kept saying that he would come to the door if there was anything to do in the future, and he hurriedly dismissed the Xue family brothers, so he wanted to close the door so that he could have a closer look.When Xue Pan and Xue Biao bowed and left, Jia Shefu thought of something again, and just quietly stood in the room and looked out at Xue Biao. The more he looked, the more satisfied he was, but he had some thoughts in his heart, which he couldn't say for the time being.

His second wife, the Xing family, has been locked in the courtyard for a long time, so it stands to reason that relatives of the Xing family came to the door to speak out.Unexpectedly, Mrs. Xing's younger brother, Xing Dequan, has no virtue at all, and he doesn't care about his own sister's life or death. He and his wife blindly rely on Jia's support in the capital to survive.When I first came here, I simply put a fifteen or six-year-old girl in for foster care, euphemistically called "filial aunt", I am afraid that Miss Xing Xiuyan can't even tell what her aunt looks like, so she has to be ashamed and humiliated every day. The Zhuijin Building where he lives does not leave his house.Jia Amnesty intends to send this girl away, and then drive Uncle Xing and his in-laws away so as not to hold his breath. Right now, he is very anxious to find someone to take over with her.Although the days of the Jia family are declining, the airs have not yet collapsed, and the family still needs some face. Therefore, Jia Amnesty is unwilling to make a gourd case, so he sees that the young people of the Xue family are good. If this cheap niece is sold Throwing away the burden of the Xing family, and looking left and right, the more you look, the more you feel that Xue Biao is pleasing to the eye.

Xue Biao didn't know that in the past two days, many households had stared at him, and he accompanied Xue Pan to Lin's house to thank Lin Ruhai on his own.If it wasn't for Lin Ruhai who was behind the battle, Jia Amnesty alone might not be able to make the Mei family let go.Now the Mei family only said to the outside world that they had found an eminent monk, and the two children were considered to be incompatible, and they were all lucky children, but they couldn't get together, so the marriage had to be dropped, which was to save each other's face.After all, the Xue family was afraid of their daughter's reputation being damaged, so they didn't pursue her relentlessly, and finally got what they wanted.

As soon as the matter here is over, it will be the Dragon Boat Festival.This year, Baochai, Baoqin and Xuying tried about twenty kinds of small rice dumplings, but they were still only the size of a baby's fist, and they only took two bites at once.Because everyone said it was good to eat at home, I simply took the prescription to the shop and asked the shop to make a box and sell it in the restaurant.The boxes of his house are exquisitely carved, and the contents inside are also fresh and clean. People like them from the bottom of their hearts when they see them, so they sell very well.Some ordinary officials in the capital don't want anyone who goes to the ceremony at home, and they only have a few Zanhe boxes from Xue's restaurant, which is very dignified.Mrs. Xue was also very proud to see that her daughter-in-law was like a real sister, so she decided to send the small rice dumpling skewers specially made by her own chef to her relatives.

The day before the Dragon Boat Festival, Mrs. Xue invited the old master who was enshrined at home to read Mishou behind closed doors in the inner courtyard. With a team of people came.Xue Pan and Xue Biao went out early in the morning. Those who went to the yamen went to the yamen, and those who went to the shop to settle the accounts went to the shop to settle the accounts. Xu Ying happened to go back to visit his father. There were only two Baochai and Baoqin left at home. He had no choice but to call his mother-in-law Come in and see.The two women were dressed very gorgeously, and the silver and blue satin made people's eyes hurt. Seeing the eldest girl of the Xue family bent down and knelt to give blessings, they stood up straight and the hairpins on their heads jingled each other.

Baochai returned the gift with a slight nod, and wondered with a smile: "Didn't the gift for the Dragon Boat Festival have been delivered a few days ago, what's the matter today?" We are so ashamed and panicked. The girls in my family are going to marry into Beijing next year. If the dowry comes from Jinling now, it would be too hasty and ugly, so I thought about saving it at the relatives’ homes in Beijing first, and taking it together when the time comes. If you save it, it will be convenient. Besides, there are many good things that are not available in the market, and you can save on buying." The words sounded reasonable, and Baochai laughed: "In this case, we have the right to congratulate Sister Yihe, put the things here, and just say something when you need it.” The old woman was overjoyed, got up and blessed again, and told Liba porter to move the box into the gate of Xue’s house, thanked and thanked before leaving, saying that it was urgent Turning around to Jinling to hand over business to the master's house, he didn't even sit down much.

When Zhen's family went out, Baochai was busy exploring the spring and wrote a letter asking his daughter-in-law to bring a basket of sachets to Jia's house. When the daughter-in-law came back, she replied, "Miss, the third girl of Jia's family said that in the morning, Zhen's family will also go to Jia's house." Jia's family sent two boxes, but it means that Mrs. Feng'an may want to live in the capital next year, and she will send some furniture in advance to help her relatives keep it." After hearing this, Baochai snorted and said, "This is just a trick. Selling dog meat. The Zhen family also has a house in the capital, and they have a big treasury and servants, and they can't believe it. They insist on putting things in relatives' homes, and they try their best to say that they are precious and good things. Isn't this attracting people to sneak in? Sitting next to her, Baoqin wondered, "Why is this? Sister, you wouldn't do such a thing. What does the Zhen family want?"

Baochai put down the tea bowl and explained to her with a smile: "The Zhen family is only afraid that something will happen, otherwise they will not store their belongings in the relatives' house instead of their own house. He also named the girl to be married or the name of Mrs. An. It's easy to ask for. Everyone should take good care of it with him. When the famine hits in the future, we can ask for it and move back. The life of the family will still be fine; Where is the place?" It is also a crime to hide the belongings of an official, and you cannot escape the search of the house.Baochai vaguely remembered that when the Jia family was raided in the previous life, countless amounts of money and IOUs were confiscated from the room of her aunt, Mrs. Wang. Later, she asked someone to dig out a box of things left by the Zhen family, which became one of the terms of the Jia family's conviction. one.

After hearing Baochai's explanation, Baoqin was still puzzled: "What could happen to the Zhen family? When I was young, I traveled all over the world with my father, and I only heard people say that the Zhen family was the emperor of Jinling. Even a piece of silk can’t leave Jinling’s borders. What’s so scary about this family, they have to go around begging for their possessions like a bereaved dog.” Baochai shook her head: “That’s not what I said. Today is not the emperor, and the emperor’s confidantes are hard to please. I like it today. Besides, even the emperor? How can those sitting in the imperial city tolerate it? The Zhen family can rely on Mrs. Feng'an for thousands of years? I'm afraid it won't look good, and I'm afraid to wait for Mrs. Feng'an In case the crane loses its protection, it's all better to take some precautions in advance." Baoqin suddenly realized, and said anxiously: "Then these things are not hard to handle? How to get them, they should be driven out from the beginning."

Baochai smiled bitterly and said, "That's how you treat your relatives? When you are in trouble, you ask for help. When someone is in trouble and asks you to come to the door, you just shut the door and drive them out. Who will dare to associate with Xue's family in the future?" .Furthermore, these are all conjectures after all, and things that have no shadow can't be taken as real. You don't have to worry, I know." She was thinking about this, so she asked the young man to go to the Lin Mansion and the Shen Mansion to talk about today's events. It can be regarded as asking for advice on how to deal with the Zhen family's things.If you really want to be stupid and honest, you must not let people in, but it is even more impossible to refuse people to come in from the beginning.The Xue family still has to stay in the capital, and offending all relatives is not a way to build a family.

After the young man went out for about two hours, there was no news from the Lin residence, but Shen Tongzhi came to the door again.Baoqin smiled and got up and went back to the yard, but Baochai had no choice but to come out and order tea and snacks to entertain the guests.Shen Yu hurried in from the outside, saw Miss Xue bowed her hands and bowed, and said, "Hello, Miss Xue." Baochai bowed her head behind the crystal curtain to return the salute, and the host and guest sat far apart.Only Bailing stood behind Baochai in Shen Yujian's room, and he went straight to the point and said, "So that the girl can know that the Zhen family is in great trouble, and as soon as Mrs. Feng'an swallows her breath, she will try to question him. Can't take it."
