Chapter 105 Invitation from the Patriarch of the He Family
Little did they know that back at the He family mansion, as soon as He Shao, the head of the He family, came back, He Jing's cousins started to report He Jing.
The He family mansion faces south, is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and is luxurious and magnificent. With the addition of layers of exotic flowers and plants, it gives a sense of being in a fairyland.
A luxurious carriage stopped in front of the gate of the He residence, with a red silk roof and a circle of pearls inlaid on the edge.
The tall and handsome coachman jumped down from under the carriage and used a jade ruyi to lift the curtain for the people in the carriage.
A dignified and graceful woman got off the carriage. She was so well-maintained that one could not tell her age.
She had a noble look, with a high nose bridge and rosy lips. The maroon gold brocade dress she wore made her look extremely good.
This woman is the owner of the He residence, He Shao, the head of the He family.
After receiving the good news that He Lin was released from prison and the Yun family suffered a severe blow, He Shao's slightly raised mouth corners revealed her good mood today.
Except for He Jing and He Lin, all the younger generations of the He family were waiting at home.
The He family members of He Jing's generation were all dressed in jewels and gorgeous looks, which were very pleasing to the eyes. They stood on both sides of the He family's hall.
Seeing He Shao walking into the hall, He family's second branch brother and sister He Fengqing and He Manyu came to greet her early.
One rubbed He Shao's shoulders, and the other handed her scented tea.
He Manyu helped He Shao sit down: "Thanks to aunt's hard work today, He Lin is finally free. He has always been reckless in doing things, and this time he has caused aunt a lot of trouble."
He Fengqing also served the scented tea he had prepared: "It's good that He Lin and He Jing are not here today, so that Auntie won't be upset when she sees them."
He Shao didn't say anything and closed her eyes.
He Manyu's technique of massaging He Shao's shoulders was just right. She whispered softly into He Shao's ear: "Aunt, I heard that He Jing was very close to the exiled prisoners. This is embarrassing for our He family."
He Fengqing then fanned the flames: "He Jing said that he helped the He family deal with medicinal materials, and he used this fugitive as a middleman. Now, apart from the deposit of 5,000 taels of silver, he hasn't seen anything else. Could it be that he was cheated?"
"Yes, He Jing has always been unreliable. I was really in a hurry this time, so I gave him the unsaleable herbs in the medicine shop."
He Manyu and her brother sang in unison: "Now that I think about it, I feel panic. That was a medicinal herb worth 20,000 silver coins."
"Oh? A fugitive?" He Shao blew on the gilded carved teacup in her hand, her tone flat: "Where did the fugitive come from?"
When He Fengqing saw that his words had taken effect, he quickly said, "They are from the capital and will be exiled to Haizhou."
"I heard that the exile who gave He Jing advice is from the Marquis of Zhaoping's mansion and is currently staying at the post station in Lianzhou."
He Manyu explained, "Pirates are rampant at sea recently. Lianzhou has no time to arrange a ship for these prisoners, so they are temporarily stranded at the Lianzhou Post Station."
Hearing that it was the Marquis of Zhaoping's Mansion, He Shao narrowed her eyes and asked speculatively, "What does He Jing want to do?"
He Manyu looked nervous: "Aunt, the Zhaoping Marquis's Mansion is charged with treason. Cousin He Jing is trying to kill our He family."
He Fangzhi, the eldest of this generation of the He family, stood aside, quietly watching the two people from the second branch trying to please He Shao.
He didn't say a single slanderous word and acted very neutrally: "Aunt, cousin He Jing always trusts others easily. He is not a bad person by nature."
He Manyu curled her lips, "Brother, you are too tolerant of He Jing. He has never been disciplined by his parents since he was a child, how good can his temper be?"
There was really no need for these two idiots from the Second House family to act so impatient. They did not rashly intervene in He Lin's affairs. It was He Jing who was running around alone. Even if he did not make any contributions, he had worked hard.
How could a powerful person like my aunt not see the clumsy little tricks of this brother and sister? It was because she saw that He Jing had really pulled He Lin out of jail and defeated the Yun family, she became anxious and was afraid that this useless person who had been trampled under her feet would turn the tables.
He Fangzhi knew what was going on, but he had no intention of stopping the brother and sister from doing this. It would be a good idea to remind his aunt about the outstanding balance of the medicinal materials so that He Jing's contribution this time would not be too conspicuous.
Speaking of He Jing, He Fangzhi secretly sighed that He Jing was really lucky. The Grand Minister of Agriculture suddenly visited Lianzhou. He heard that the Yunhai County Magistrate Lin Ye discovered a new crop called potato, which was very high-yielding, and specially reported it to the Grand Minister of Agriculture.
He Jing had previously shown off his power in Tianshui Village of Yunhai County and was taught a lesson by Lin Ye, and the two of them came into contact. When He Jing was negotiating with the county magistrate He Lin about the follow-up matters of controlling the locust plague in Tianshui Village, he learned about the visit of the Grand Minister of Agriculture, and first invited the Grand Minister of Agriculture to Lianzhou to investigate and deal with the Tura flowers.
The people in the He family firmly believed this statement because it seemed very reasonable and was also supported by facts.
Little did they know that this explanation was spread by He Lin's "water army" in order to make the Grand Minister of Agriculture's surprise attack seem reasonable.
After listening to what the others said, He Shao groaned and said, "Since that not-so-simple exile is in Lianzhou, why not invite her to my birthday party to meet me?"
He Shao took a sip of tea and said, "I want to see who this person is."
He Manyu was surprised to hear her aunt say that she wanted to invite the criminal to a banquet. Just as she was about to speak out to stop her, He Fangzhi spoke first, "Nephew will do it right away. It's your 40th birthday, and we'll host a banquet for everyone."
"This exile team has suffered a lot on the way. Auntie is generous and kind-hearted. She is willing to use her kindness to influence these exiles. It will be a good thing if the news gets out."
As the most prominent family in Lingnan, the He family would hold grand banquets on important occasions to entertain people from all over Lingnan. Exiling more than 60 people from the team was no big deal.
The reason why He Fangzhi invited people here is reasonable and can also bring good reputation to the head of the He family.
He Shao nodded with satisfaction. Although her nephew was cunning, he was a worry-free person when it came to getting things done.
*
At 9:00 p.m. the next day, a piece of good news spread among the exile team at the post station.
This group of exiles were stranded in Lianzhou, and they happened to encounter the 40th birthday banquet of He Shao, the head of the He family, the richest family in Lingnan. A grand banquet was held to entertain the people, and these exiles could also take advantage of it and have a good meal.
Everyone at the post station was in a festive mood, but Jiang Lili felt something was wrong.
Sure enough, He Jing brought her news as soon as he arrived at the inn: "My aunt is testing your Zhaoping Marquis Mansion, especially you, you must be prepared to meet my aunt."
After that, he added: "Don't worry, although my aunt likes to find fault with people, she is not a big deal."
Jiang Lili was waiting for a meeting with the head of the He family: "Don't worry, I have made all the preparations."
Now it’s all about ensuring that He Jing’s image is foolproof.
