The heavens start with letting the bullets fly

Chapter 597 Chen Zhaojue's small matter, Nan Wangtu's big ambition
Daiyu went back and talked to Chen Zhao about Baoqin and the third son Mei Hanlin's marriage, frowning and said: "Sir, can you help Miss Baoqin?"

Chen Zhao chuckled: "Why is this so difficult? Since she is Brother Pan's cousin and your handkerchief acquaintance, it is naturally obligatory."

"A few days later, there will be various rumors in the market, saying that the Mei family is hooking up with the Ye family on the Lingnan political road. The daughter of the Ye family is sixteen this year, and she is about the same age as the third son of the Mei family. The Mei family intends to marry , so I want to abandon the Xue family, and the reason why I am dragging the girl from the Xue family now is that I don’t want my own family to propose a marriage contract. Mei Hanlin doesn’t want the world to say that his family is an ungrateful person who forgets the poor and the humble when he is rich.”

Daiyu couldn't help being dumbfounded when she heard this, and quickly asked: "Master, is what you said true or false?"

"Of course it's false." Chen Zhaodao: "The best way to destroy a person is not to murder and set fire to him, but to destroy his reputation. In fact, this is not enough, but it is enough to make Miss Xue's brother feel angry I went to Mei's house to discuss the explanation."

Daiyu frowned and said, "But if this is the case, wouldn't the Ye family girl's reputation be ruined?"

Chen Zhao waved his hand: "The Ye family, the inspector of Lingnan, has no daughter at all, but how many people in the capital know about this?"

He paused, and then said: "Besides, when the Mei Xue family divorces, no one will mention this matter."

Daiyu shook her head and said, "Can't the Mei family take the initiative to propose a divorce?"

Chen Zhao sighed: "Ma'am, the world is dangerous, how can you accomplish things overnight?"

……

The marriage between Xue Baoqin and Mei Jiaerlang was arranged when Xue's father was still alive—that is, when Xue Pan's second uncle was still alive.

Ever since Xue Baoqin's father passed away, the Mei family had the intention of going back and forth, and because of this, Mrs. Xue thought of letting her daughter go to Beijing first, and walk around with a few prominent relatives, so that the Mei family would have more scruples.

But Xue Baoqin returned to Xue's Mansion on Zijin Street and arrived at the small courtyard where her brothers and sisters lived. Because she walked quietly, no one noticed that the girl came back for a while. Lu is ferocious, and suddenly sighs, and he doesn't know who it is.

It was my elder brother Xue Biao.

Xue Baoqin hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and jokingly said: "Brother sighs and sighs here alone, is it because he is tired of spring and autumn?"

Xue Biao was suddenly startled. When he turned around and saw his sister in front of him, he immediately returned to normal and said, "When my sister came back, I didn't even tell you."

Xue Baoqin took advantage of the opportunity and sat on the railing, looked at her brother with big watery eyes, and asked, "It's just going home, what do you want to pass on, it's just what brother is thinking."

She paused, and without waiting for her brother to speak, she stretched out her pale fingers and said with a smile, "My brother took up the family business early on. He knows how to advance and retreat, and he is determined. He will never worry about business matters, and let him be so helpless." Yes, I'm afraid it's only my little sister's business. Could it be the Mei family's business?"

"Little sister...you..."

Xue Biao was slightly startled and couldn't help but open his mouth and said: "Since you know everything, let me tell you - I suddenly got the news last night in the evening. Mei Shibo has been ordered to be released and will leave Beijing to take up his post in the near future. "

"I knew it……"

Xue Baoqin said quietly: "So, the other side didn't take the initiative to inform us at all?"

It seems that my sister already knows the news.

Unexpectedly, the news in Rongguo Mansion is quite well-informed.

But if you think about it, the Rongguo Mansion is the Duke's mansion after all, and Lian's second master is in the Department of General Affairs, so it's not difficult to know some inside information. ?
This thought flashed through Xue Biao's mind, and he shook his head and smiled wryly: "So far, there has been no news about it, but everyone else knows that he will leave Beijing soon."

Xue Baoqin snorted coldly, his eyes full of anger.

She naturally had to be weak in front of the Lord Langhuan, but she couldn't be that weak in front of her pillar brother.

Because she and her brother depend on each other for life.

I don't want my brother to be too sad for himself.

It's just that the Mei family's behavior is so disgusting and disgusting.

She sighed and said: "When Dad was there, he was respectable to the Supreme Emperor. The Mei family naturally valued us. Now that the Supreme Emperor is honored to raise the Dragon Head Palace, and Dad has passed away, we have lost our dignity in the royal family. Naturally, they don't value us. There's nothing strange about the consistent behavior of people in this world."

Hearing that his sister had broken through the key point, Xue Biao couldn't help but burst into another wry smile. After a while, he restrained himself and said resolutely: "I'm going to see Mr. Mei Shibo off, so I can ask you clearly—although our father is gone. , but my family will not rush up and let others do it!"

Baoqin sighed, although there was some helplessness in her eyes, she didn't shed any tears, she just said: "The Mei family is a family of officials and officials, we are just merchants, our status is not equal, they naturally look down on us, they just rely on The power of my aunt's family and the county lord, if they marry me unwillingly, they must be disgusted in every possible way. If I am treated harshly and my status has been determined, I will have nowhere to say even if I suffer, so I have to live with it , that’s lifelong hopelessness.”

"It's better to retire now. There are many people who have withdrawn because of incompatibility. I am not one of them. Let's say to the outside world that when we got engaged, we were young, and we only exchanged Geng posts without asking names. Now it's been two years. I was about to get married, so I thought about going through the six ceremonies, but I only found out that the horoscope did not match after asking my name. After all, the reputation of the family is not too much trouble."

Xue Biao was slightly shocked when he heard this.

When my sister said these words, it seemed that she had been thinking about this matter for a long time.

It's a pity that I still look forward and backward.

If you have a sister like this, what can you ask for?
While Xue Biao was sighing, a servant suddenly announced: "The eldest son of the Mei family came to visit with a steward, and his attitude was very humble."

Did the Mei family send someone here?

Xue Biao and Bao Qin looked at each other, and both saw the doubt in each other's eyes.

However, Xue Biao reacted quickly after all, and immediately raised his voice: "Please wait in the living room."

After Xue Biao walked into the living room, he saw the eldest son of the Mei family kneeling on the ground with a thud, kowtowing his head repeatedly, his forehead hit the floor, and there was a continuous "bang bang".

"Brother Mei, what are you doing?" Xue Biao was taken aback, and quickly stepped forward to help him up.

"My Mei family was rude first, and my father said that he must kowtow. My Mei family has a little peace of mind."

"You and I are family friends, why are you being rude? Brother Mei is really polite." Xue Biao said.

"No, no, no, it's my Mei family who was the first to be rude."

The eldest son of the Mei family paused, and then said with an apologetic expression: "At the beginning when my third brother and Lingmei were engaged, they were young and only exchanged Geng notes without asking their names. Now that they are both older, they Thinking about going through the six ceremonies, who would have known that the incompatibility of horoscopes would only be known after asking the name, which is a great evil, especially my third younger brother, if he marries Miss Xue, he must restrain his wife, and if he is older, he will restrain his father and son, With such a terrible situation, the Mei family has no choice but to withdraw from the marriage."

After all, the eldest son of the Mei family beckoned, and the steward immediately sent a gift box.

"Inside this box is a little money, plus two or three shops. It's not worth much, but it is my family's heart. In addition, we will arrange a concert for three opera troupes in Wangjiang Tower to publicize this matter to everyone. It will definitely It won't damage Miss Xue's reputation in the slightest."

"what?"

Even though Xue Biao's city was quite deep, he couldn't help but be stunned.

In his eyes, although the head of the Mei family is only an imperial scholar, his contacts are all over the capital, and he can be released if he wants to. It is not something that a mere Xue family can resist.

It stands to reason that at most he would go to Mei's house to mess around, but he might not get any benefits.

But the Mei family actually came to plead guilty!

The sun rises in the west?

After Xue Biao sent the Mei family away, he opened the box and was stunned again.

There are 3 taels of banknotes in the box!

In addition, there are property rights deeds for three shops on busy streets in the capital, and the procedures are complete.

In addition, there were invitation cards from several theaters. The list above was arranged in great detail, and one could tell at a glance that the programs that the Mei family had spent a lot of effort in arranging were all programs that damaged the reputation of the Mei family and promoted the Xue family.

Sure enough, Xue Baoqin's reputation was not damaged in the slightest.

Even if they were backed by the Rongguo Mansion, the Jia family wouldn't break up with the Mei family just because of such a trivial matter, would they?
It can also make the Mei family bleed so much.

Could it be that there are noble people to help?
"County Lin must have entrusted his husband to do it. He must have held the Mei family's handle and made his family submit obediently." Xue Baoqin said firmly after hearing what her brother said, and shared the conversation with Lin Daiyu yesterday with her brother. Say it again.

Xue Biao sighed: "It turned out to be Mr. Chen. I was in Songjiang for a while. I thought it was just a familiar face. I didn't expect that he would miss us so much. Let him take the shot. No wonder the Mei family is so subdued. Such a kindness, my brothers and sisters should See Mr. Chen personally and kowtow to him."

But I thought in my heart: "No wonder my aunt wants to marry my eldest sister to Chen Zhao as a wife, and let my elder brother work hard with Chen Zhao. Only by holding such thighs can I live a good life!"

"If my younger sister marries into Uncle Yunyang's residence...the matter has to be discussed in the long run."

……

The Southern King of the capital stayed behind at his mansion.

"This Chen Zhao, when will you leave the capital, have you inquired carefully?"

In the study, Nan Wang Xia Ruofeng sat in the middle, looked at the steward kneeling below, and asked lightly.

"Go back to the prince, the little one has already found out..."

The servants hurriedly reported the inquired news in detail.

"Okay, you go down."

Nan Wang waved the steward to leave.

There were only three people sitting in the study at this time.

In addition to the Southern King Xia Ruofeng and the Southern King's son Xia Yongchang, there is also a middle-aged man dressed in white snow and tall on a lonely cliff. He is the head of the Nanhai School, the Sword Master Ye Gucheng.

"This Chen Zhao left the capital, and there are no more people who are out of control here, so we will deal with this matter according to the time plan, Master Ye, please leave everything alone."

Xia Ruofeng stood up and saluted Ye Gucheng solemnly.

"Don't worry, my lord, Ye and the Nanhai faction will definitely go through fire and water, and they will do whatever they want."

Ye Gucheng's tone was flat, but his eyes were very hot.

If this is accomplished, the Nanhai Sect will definitely become the No. [-] sect in the world, surpassing Shaolin and Wudang, suppressing the Demon Sect and suppressing the Beggar Gang.
