Jia Min's Counterattack

At the ancestral house in Jinling, Wang Ziteng also had a concubine brother. After Wang Ziteng died, the news spread to Jinling, and the Wang family in Wuyi Lane expelled Wang Ziteng and his family.When Wang Ziteng's concubine found out, he vomited blood and died on the spot. His wife was about to give birth, and after learning of her husband's death, she found it difficult to give birth to a daughter, so she followed him, leaving behind an eight-year-old son and a newborn baby. little daughter.Now that Wang Ziteng's wife and children have returned to the ancestral home in Jinling, Wang Ziteng's first wife not only has to support his own children, but also takes care of the two orphans of his uncle's family.Originally, he thought that he would only raise his uncle's son and give away his daughter, but when Wang Ziteng's wife saw the newborn little girl for the first time, she felt soft-hearted. Such a delicate and cute little doll is really reluctant to give away. He raised her in his house and named her Xifeng.

The last of the four major families is the royal merchant Xue's family married to Wang Ziteng's concubine sister Xiao Wang.The master of the Xue family is now approaching his sixtieth year. He has two sons, the eldest son is born of a concubine, and the second son is born of his concubine, who married Xiao Wang.The Xue family's business covers a wide range, and they have the title of imperial merchant, responsible for purchasing utensils and jewelry in the palace, so they can be said to be rich.Because of the status of the Zhen family in the south of the Yangtze River, the Xue family and the Zhen family also had close contacts. The Xue family often sent money to the Zhen family, and the Zhen family also helped the Xue family a lot in business.

When Lin Ruhai and Jia Min came to the door, Jia Dairu brought his family and other heads of the Jia family to greet him at the gate. Although they were relatives, Lin Ruhai was a serious fifth-rank official. Greetings are also reasonable.But if everyone from the other houses of the family was called over to greet them, the battle would become even bigger.When the neighbors saw the members of the Jia family standing at the gate, those who didn't know it thought something important had happened. After inquiring carefully, they found out that it was the aunt and uncle from the Rongguo Mansion in the capital who came to the house to pay New Year's greetings.No one in Jinling knew the two Dukes of Jia's family. Now that their aunts and wives came, they were very curious and wanted to see the elegant demeanor of the girls of the Duke's mansion.

Lin Ruhai and Jia Min did not expect to see so many people when they got off the carriage.Jia Dairu and others bowed down together, shouting: "Greetings to Lord Jiamin! Greetings to Lord Lin!" Many spectators also bowed down unconsciously.Both Jia Min and Lin Ruhai were taken aback for a moment, and then looked at each other. Jia Min immediately said: "Please hurry up, my relatives, there is no need for such a battle!" Lin Ruhai also personally stepped forward to help the leader, Jia Dairu. stand up.

After Jia Dairu got up, he looked up and saw the faces of Lin Ruhai and Jia Min clearly, and he was stunned on the spot. Lin Ruhai smiled and called him several times, but it was his son behind him who came to his senses and pulled Jia Dairu's clothes behind him before he turned back. God came. "Master Lin and Lord Lin, please come in quickly!" Jia Dairu smiled uncomfortably.

As the figures of Jia Min and Lin Ruhai entered the courtyard of Jia Dai Confucianism, the crowds gradually dispersed, but the matter about the county head Jiamin of Rongguo Mansion and her husband Master Lin, the magistrate of Suzhou, became a matter of Jinling. The hottest topic in town.Even members of the Jia family were sought after, and they would ask them about Jia Min and Lin Ruhai wherever they went.

Jia Min, like Lin Ruhai, did not eat at Jia Dairu's mansion. Jia Min met with the female family members of the clan and got to know each other for a while, then he went back to his mansion with Lin Ruhai and Lin Lang on the pretext of being tired due to pregnancy.

In the evening, Lin Ruhai received a letter from the servants of the Zhen family. After thinking about it for a moment, he discussed with Jia Min: "Min'er, we will return to Suzhou by Qichen the day after tomorrow at the latest. Why don't you bring Lang Lang alone tomorrow?" Let's go to Xie's mansion to meet Mrs. Xie. Mr. Zhen sent me a letter, saying that he will hold a banquet at his mansion tomorrow, and many people in the Jiangnan official circles will attend. He invited me to go with him. I think it is a good idea Chances are that Zhen Yingjia can introduce these officials to me, which is a hundred times better than if I get to know them one by one, so I decided to go to the Daozhen Mansion tomorrow for a banquet, and I won't accompany you to Xie's house."

Jia Min naturally knew which was more important, so she nodded and said, "Your husband, just be busy with your work, I will arrange everything. I will go to see Mrs. Xie tomorrow and nothing will happen. We can set off early in the morning."

In Zhen Yingjia's study, Xiang Yunting was talking about Lin Ruhai with Zhen Yingjia.

"Master Zhen, I heard that this Lin Ruhai is in the capital and has caused us trouble a lot!"

Zhen Yingjia took a meaningful look at Xiang Yunting, and smiled ironically: "Looking at me, I don't know what good things your good daughter has done?"

Xiang Yunting's face suddenly turned pale, and he also knew that his daughter had not only failed to help Mr. Zhen, but instead provoked Lin Ruhai and Jia Min to death, and was directly put under house arrest by the emperor. It's almost there.He is not an open-minded person. Now that Lin Ruhai is working under him, he originally wanted to make things difficult for him, but he also knows that Lin Ruhai's Yue family's Rongguo Mansion has a good relationship with the Zhen family, so he wants to test it out today. .Who knew that Zhen Yingjia would expose her little trick so bluntly.Xiang Yunting's tensed forehead was sweating, and he glanced at Zhen Yingjia from time to time to see if Zhen Yingjia was angry.

Zhen Yingjia took a few sips of tea with the tea bowl, and casually put the tea bowl on the Eight Immortals table beside her. The sound of putting down the tea bowl was a bit loud, which made Xiang Yunting shiver in fright.Zhen Yingjia gave Xiang Yunting a contemptuous look, and then said: "Lin Ruhai is a key talent cultivated by the emperor, he will not stay in Jiangnan for too long, you must help him support him, and let him make a good political achievement as soon as possible Come, of course, we must let him know that we helped him, and let him remember our great kindness."

"Yes! I will definitely do the same! But, please forgive my stupidity, I don't understand the purpose of Master Zhen's doing this."

Zhen Yingjia glared at Xiang Yunting irritably, this idiot, if it wasn't because he was so obedient and easy to control, he really wouldn't want to spend more time with such an idiot.

"You don't even think about why the emperor trained him to use him! After he returns to the capital, he will be a close minister of the emperor, and more likely he will be the assistant minister chosen by the emperor for the prince. Do you think he is important to us?"

Xiang Yunting didn't look at Zhen Yingjia in shock, he didn't expect this young Lin Ruhai to be so lucky.He thought in his heart, and unconsciously said: "This kid's life is really good!"

Zhen Yingjia snorted coldly, "If you can have his shrewdness and talent, your life will be very good!"
