Mei Xun heard the words, glanced at the three of them solemnly, and asked, "According to your opinion, how should we get rid of the relationship?"

The second younger brother Meizhu said in a deep voice: "You can't do everything, but you can show your attitude to the outside world. Isn't today the old lady's birthday? Qing Luo sent someone to deliver a letter yesterday, saying that Lin Ruhai would send his registered disciple, who is also from the Jia family in the capital If someone comes to congratulate him on his birthday, we can just treat it indifferently. As long as outsiders can see that the Mei family and the Lin family are not the same, they naturally have no reason to anger the Mei family!"

Chapter 159

"Brother Qiang, you will enter the Plum Garden in a while, and you will go directly to the second gate with me, to celebrate the old lady's birthday, and then go to the Meiqing Hall in the front yard."

In the carriage, through the curtain, Aunt Mei said to Jia Qiang warmly.

It's no wonder that there are countless beauties in Yangzhou City, but after Jia Min, Lin Ruhai only dotes on this girl. Her voice is soft and soft, but she doesn't have any enchantment. When she hears it, she gives birth to the image of a virtuous woman from a good family.

Jia Qiang twitched the corners of her mouth and responded respectfully.

In terms of seniority, this is the same generation as his aunt...

After driving for more than half an hour, I saw a large garden in the west of Yangzhou City.

The three gates are open. Unlike the northern screen walls, the plum garden uses rockery as the screen wall.

A clear spring drawn from nowhere hangs upside down into a waterfall, which makes people forget the customs.

A young girl in Tsing Yi from the Mei family had already stepped forward to lead Aunt Mei's carriage inside.

However, just when Jia Qiang was going to accompany him all the way, a man who looked like a housekeeper appeared and said with a smile: "My brother, the second gate is where the family members of the inner house are located. It is not easy for a man of his age to enter the house." gone."

As soon as these words came out, Jia Qiang was startled.

He was not yet married, and he was ordered by Lin Ruhai to give the Mei family a face.

He couldn't believe that Aunt Mei didn't send someone to inform the Mei family in advance, but he couldn't come in to celebrate the old lady of the Mei family's birthday?

Before Jia Qiang could speak, Aunt Mei in the carriage lifted the curtains and shouted angrily, "Sun Cai, what are you talking about? This is our grand nephew who is very important to our master. Do you dare to stop the old lady from celebrating her birthday? Still not backing down!"

Such a gentle person is so angry, it can be seen that he is furious in his heart.

Unexpectedly, instead of retreating, Sun Cai said with a smirk: "So that the second aunt knows, this is exactly what the old lady and the master meant. Today, there are not only the family members in the inner house, but also other people's family members." Miss, is it inappropriate for the second aunt to bring a brother of this age in?"

How can Aunt Mei be a concubine and housekeeper in the back house of Yanyuan Yamen, so how can she be just a fool?

She said in a decisive tone that was completely different from her gentle demeanor: "Okay, since the Mei family doesn't welcome us, then we won't forcefully post it. Brother Qiang, let's go home!"

Jia Qiang nodded, looked at Sun Cai coldly, and was about to turn the carriage around, but at this moment, a large servant girl came out from the second door and said with a smile: "Ah! My aunt is back! The old man People urged me a few times, but I haven't seen it all the time, now that it's here, why don't you go in quickly?"

Inside the carriage, Aunt Mei said in a deep voice: "I wanted to go in, but now I can't enter this door. Mei Xiang, you go in and ask the old lady. Sun Cai said that it was the old lady and the elder who sent it, and our master sent it on purpose. The people who came to celebrate the old lady’s birthday have improved in their family, are they serious? If it is true, I will marry and follow my husband, and I am already a member of the Lin family, so I will not be able to enter your Mei family’s door in the future!”

The girl named Mei Xiang was taken aback when she heard the words, quickly glanced at Sun Cai whose expression was changing, then skipped Jia Qiang's face, paused, and hurried to the back house.

At this time, people of all kinds coming and going from outside the second gate had already seen this scene in their eyes and spread it to the outside...

This Yangzhou mansion is really about to change.

……

Yanyuan yamen.

Zhonglin Hall.

The censor Chen Rong looked at Lin Ruhai who was convalescing on the couch with a solemn expression, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, this matter should not be false, there has been a lot of rumors outside, but it's just strange, how can there be no news from Jinling? Wasn't Jia Yucun, the magistrate of Yingtian, recommended by an adult? If such a big event really happened, how could he..."

Although Lin Ruhai's expression was indifferent, the corners of his eyes twitched when he heard the word Jia Yucun.

Now that I think about it, I really misjudged the person...

When he was seriously ill at the beginning, Jia Yucun personally rushed to Yangzhou to ask the doctor for medicine. Even when he returned to Jinling, he sent someone to ask him every three days.

After the doctor said that he was terminally ill and hopeless, the frequency of asking about illnesses dropped greatly.

After he sent someone to the capital to let Daiyu come back to attend her death, Jinling was completely silent.

He has been ill all the time, so he didn't think about it.

Looking at it now, this person is really as Jia Qiang said, extremely cold-hearted.

Fortunately, he survived...

Lin Ruhai exhaled lightly, smiled at Chen Rong, and said, "Mianren, haven't you been here enough for the Yanyuan yamen? Are you not tired of everything about salt affairs?"

Chen Rong forced a smile when he heard this, and said, "Even so, my lord is still in Yangzhou, and there are people in Jinling..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Ruhai waved his hand and said, "I even submitted the legacy, how can the emperor not send someone to supervise the salt affairs? Although you are recommended by me, the holy family is not good enough... But I didn't expect , Han Banshan will actually serve as the governor of Liangjiang. It seems that the matter of Brother Qiang's stay in the capital has caused quite a stir. Otherwise, Han Banshan should have stepped into the military plane this time."

Hearing this, Chen Rong said with a strange expression: "Brother Qiang has made such a big enemy? Then he still wants to gain a foothold in the southern province? Han Banshan is famous all over the world and bears the hope of the world. After serving as governor for three years, I'm afraid It is possible to directly enter the military aircraft and become the chief minister."

The central government of Dayan is highly centralized, and the chief military officer is really the prime minister of the world!

With such a person, Chen Rong couldn't think of what Jia Qiang could do...

Lin Ruhai smiled and said: "It's just some misunderstanding. Besides, it may not be a good thing for Banshan to join the military plane at this time. As for Brother Qiang... Mian Ren may not know that although Banshan has never been an official in the same province as me, But we have known each other for a long time. In the 28th year of the early Jing Dynasty, for the first time, I was ruthless in Yangzhou and wiped out the gang of salt smugglers headed by the Gou family. I stole 200 million taels of stolen silver. I went to Henan, which was suffering from the flood of the Yellow River, and solved the disaster of Ban Shangong, the governor of Henan at that time. Since then, I have exchanged letters with him every three months to discuss the way to govern the people and become an official. Ban Shangong, He is indeed my good teacher."

Chen Rong didn't know that Lin Ruhai and Han Bin had this level of friendship, and he was pleasantly surprised: "There is such a relationship? If so, wouldn't it be like the adults are to me?"

Lin Ruhai chuckled, and was about to say something more, when the butler outside the hall suddenly said: "Master, word came in from the front office, saying that there is an old man outside who wants to see the master, and he said his name is Han Bin."

Chen Rong was inexplicable when he heard the words, excitedly asked first: "What's his name?"

The butler replied: "It is said that he looks like a farmer..."

Chen Rong wanted to ask more questions, but Lin Ruhai had already got up and said, "Follow me quickly to meet the half monkey!"

……

"Grandma, the old lady said that there are many guests and their relatives here today, which is really inconvenient... However, the old lady has already sent Uncle Gu to accompany the distinguished guests in person, and said that after the birthday banquet is over, she will definitely receive the distinguished guests in person. Worry."

Outside the second gate of Meiyuan, the girl next to the old lady of the Mei family smiled and said to Aunt Mei.

Aunt Mei still felt that something was wrong, but today was the old lady of the Mei family's [-]th birthday, so she didn't want to make a fuss, so she asked Jia Qiang, "Brother Qiang, what do you think?"

Jia Qiang knew that something serious must have happened, otherwise the Mei family would only do such a thing unless they lost their minds and went crazy.

It's just that he couldn't think of what happened to make the Mei family so crazy.

However, no matter what happened, Jia Qiang was not afraid.

With Yanyuan yamen and Lin Ruhai around, Yangzhou border, it is good for him not to do anything wrong, why would he worry about a Mei family playing tricks.
