The eldest son of the red mansion

After hearing this, Mei Hanlin didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly ordered the messenger to come in.

If Mei Hanlin used to want to avoid this marriage, but now it is different. The Xue family is a relative of the emperor. It is said that they were favored by Xue Baochai in the palace and gave birth to a child. Now the eldest child has been sealed. King Qi.

Just relying on this child, the Xue family can guarantee decades of wealth and prosperity.

After a while, the butler led a travel-worn servant in.

Although the man was full of travel and dust, his face was very proud. He didn't kowtow when he saw Mei Hanlin, but just cupped his hands and said, "Greetings to Mr. Mei."

Mei Hanlin was not happy when he saw that the family was so rude.

Mei Hanlin's housekeeper naturally saw their displeasure with the organization, so he said to the person next to him, "Which family do you teach the rules, and you are so ignorant. Why don't you kneel down and salute when you see my master?"

But the servant said nonchalantly: "My family is a relative of the emperor. Our girl is a noble concubine in the palace. It is considered too polite for me to surrender to your lord just now."

Mei Hanlin didn't want to offend this servant yet, so he could only hold back his anger and said: "Since you are sent by the Xue family to deliver the letter, let me read the letter."

After hearing Mei Hanlin's request for a letter, this servant took out a large envelope from his pocket, and handed it to the butler beside him.

The butler gave the servant of the Xue family a hard look, then took the letter, held it in both hands and sent it to Mei Hanlin.

Mei Hanlin opened the big envelope and saw two letters inside.

Mei Hanlin looked at the covers of the two letters, picked the one written by Xue Pan and opened it.This look, the more you look at it, the more heart sutra, until finally the sweat on your face is streaming out.

It turns out that in this letter, Xue Pan did not hide anything, and told Mei Hanlin directly that Xue Baoqin went to the palace to visit Xue Baochai, and did not want to be photographed by the emperor. This marriage is easy for everyone, otherwise, if the emperor finds out in the end, there will be no good fruit for their family.

Mei Hanlin put down Xue Pan's letter, and opened another letter from Xue Bian to read.

This letter is roughly the same as the letter written by Xue Pan, but the tone is much more tactful. In this letter, there is also a geng post that was originally escorted by the two parties when they got married, and then a silver note of several hundred taels, which was a gift from Mei Hanlin at that time. Engagement gift.

After Mei Hanlin finished reading, he sighed silently, blaming himself for being late. If he had married his third son and Xue Baoqin long ago, there would be no trouble like today.

Mei Hanlin has nothing to do now, after all, his arms can't twist his thighs, and now he has to take a step back and go further into the abyss.

Mei Hanlin was also a straightforward person, he wrote a letter of resignation with the Four Treasures of the Study on the spot, and then ordered the butler to go to the inner house to find his wife, and brought Xue Qin's Geng post.

Mei Hanlin took the Geng Tie, sealed the Geng Tie and the letter in an envelope, and sent it to the servant of the Xue family.

"Here are the papers for retiring and Baoqin's post. You go back and hand them over to your master."

Seeing Mei Hanlin so happy now, he was a little impressed. When he came, he thought that Mei Hanlin would evade in every possible way, and then he would have to threaten him with words. He didn't expect Mei Hanlin to see things so clearly, and immediately Agreed to divorce.

"Thank you, Master Mei. After I go back, I will report the truth to the master. I also ask Master Mei to interact with our master more in the future. It will be a good thing to help each other in the future."

After hearing this, Mei Hanlin nodded again and again, and then ordered the housekeeper to fetch ten taels of silver, and gave it to this servant as a settlement.

The family got the money, so they left in a hurry, because their organization could wait for this matter impatiently. What Xue Pan meant was that they called off the marriage before Xue Baoqin was entrusted, so as to avoid trouble in the future.

After a few days of work, this letter was sent to Xue Pan's desk.Xue Pan read the letter once, with a smug smile on his face, and then he said to Xue Biao beside him: "How is it? I said he is an official of Sesame Mung Bean, how dare he go against our will, look It's not that the document of resignation has already been written, and Geng Tie will be back soon. I will send someone to send a message to Baochai in the palace in a short time, so that she can rest assured."

Xue Baochai received a message from her brother that night, and when Xue Baochai told Xue Baoqin the news, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing the marriage has always been a knot in Xue Baoqin's heart. At first, she was worried that Mei Hanlin would regret the marriage, but after entering the palace to serve Jia Ke, she was afraid of being raped by Mei Hanlin.

Now Xue Baoqin can finally sleep soundly.

Chapter 717

Besides, since Jia Ke got the beauty Xue Baoqin, she often stayed in Xue Baochai's Zhongcui Palace these days.

Sometimes they even put the two sisters on the same bed and let them work together as a husband.

Just a few days after Jia Ke was happy, he got a report that the envoy of the Tatars had entered the imperial city and settled down in the Lifan Courtyard.

After Jia Ke received the report, he did not immediately meet the Tatar envoy, but sent Fan Kang, the minister of military affairs, to meet him.

Fan Kang got Jia Ke's will, and brought people to Li Fanyuan the next day.

Wulong, the head of the Lifan Academy, is a subordinate promoted by Fan Kang since he took over the Ministry of Rites, and he can be regarded as Fan Kang's confidant.

Wulong heard the report from his subordinates, saying that it was Fan Kang who came, and before he even had time to put on his hat, he ran out of the lobby in a hurry and came to the gate of Li Fan Yuan.

Before Wulong came to the door, he saw Fan Kang had already entered the barber shop and came towards the lobby.

Wulong hastily stepped forward to salute Fan Kang: "My next official, Wulong, I have met Master Shangshu."

"No need to be too polite, let me ask you, how is the arrangement of the Tatar envoy?"

"If you want to return to your lord, I have already arranged him in the Huitong Size Pavilion (the state guesthouse in ancient times). If you want to see him, I will lead the way for you."

"In that case, take me to meet these envoys."

So Wulong led the way, followed by Fan Kang, and left the Lifanyuan, heading for the Huitong Size Pavilion near the Lifanyuan.

After they entered the Huitong Size Pavilion, they turned left and entered a delicate courtyard, Odengeril, the envoy of the Tatars.

Aodenggerile was anxiously waiting for Jia Ke to be received in the audience, but he didn't know that he had been living these days and no one came to call him, so he was anxious there.

On this day, I suddenly received a report from a young man in the library that Fan Kang, Minister of Rites, came to visit.

Ao Denggerile immediately understood that this was the prelude to Jia Ke's meeting with him, because since Jia Ke wanted to meet him, he naturally had to ask the ins and outs, so he sent someone over to find out about his tone.

Aodenggeril did not neglect the visitor, he hurried out of the small courtyard, and saw Fan Kang waiting for him there with a smile on his face.

So Ao Denggerile hurried forward to salute Fan Kang, "My next Tatar envoy, Aodenggerile, has met Lord Fan, Minister of the Great Yan."

Fan Kang hurriedly stepped forward to return the gift, and then the two of them said a few polite words at the door, and then entered the small courtyard together.

Fan Kang sat in the middle of the main hall in the small courtyard, and Aodenggerile could only accompany him at the side, and then the servants brought up fragrant tea, the two of them took a sip each, and then began to talk.

"I have not communicated with the Tatars for many years, so I don't know what the envoys are doing to us this time."

When Aodenggerile heard this, he knew that it was a meat show, "Fan Shangshu didn't know something. These years, you and our two countries have been fighting for years. It can be said that people have lost their lives. Our Chao Khan couldn't bear the continued suffering of the people of the two countries, so we sent I came to make peace with you. I hope that you and my two families will fight each other from now on, and the people of the two countries will be at peace."

Fan Kang nodded silently after hearing this, and then said: "The two countries have been at war over the years, not only the court has suffered a heavy burden, but even the people of the two countries on the border have suffered a lot. The two countries are also a good thing."

When Aodenggerile heard Fan Kang's meaning, he understood that he also agreed to the reconciliation between the two countries, so he said while the iron was hot: "Master Fan is really far-sighted, and this time I also brought sincerity to Khan."

Fan Kang became interested when he heard what he said. What kind of sincerity did this Tatar bring?Is it compensation for land cession, or annual tribute.

"Lord Fan, my family Khan heard that Emperor Dayan has a younger sister who is an adult but is not married. My family Khan is willing to marry the princess as the Yanshi (Queen) of my Great Tatar."

After hearing this, Fan Kang thought about it and thought it was not bad. Since ancient times, in order to appease the grassland, the Central Plains dynasty often married their own princess to the lord of the grassland as the queen.

If Jia Ke can marry his younger sister to Arslen Khan, it can be regarded as temporarily appeasing the other party, and when the Central Plains is ready, he can go north in one fell swoop.

"What the envoy said is just right. If this matter becomes a good thing for you and my family, you and I will be in-laws and help each other from now on. In this way, how can the countries in the four directions not be shocked?"
