Jia Min's Counterattack

Today is the Dragon Boat Festival. There are many spectators gathered by the riverside. There are more than a dozen dragon boats parked on the broad river. They are all selected by various states and counties to participate in today's dragon boat competition. Some of them are formed by several big merchants themselves. The dragon boat team also came to participate in the dragon boat competition.Every year, these merchants would donate some money to be used as a lottery for the competition, and the government agreed to let their own dragon boat team join in the fun.The Liu family in Yangzhou and the Xue family in Jinling come to participate in the dragon boat race every year. Of course, they donate a lot of money to the government every year.

As the magistrate of Yingtian Mansion, Lin Ruhai is going to host this dragon boat competition.Therefore, Lin Ruhai took Jia Min and his mother and son to a high platform built by the river.It is close to the river, which is the best place to watch the dragon boat race.As the princess of the second rank, Jia Min's fief also participated in this dragon boat race, and her place was prepared on the high platform.

When some officials who arrived in advance saw Lin Ruhai's family coming, they quickly stood up to greet Jia Min and Lin Ruhai.At this moment, Zhen Yingjia also came up and appeared behind Jia Min and the others.

Jia Min and Lin Ruhai turned around and saw that Zhen Yingjia was standing there with a smile looking at them, not intending to salute Jia Min at all.According to the rules, Zhen Yingjia has no official position now, so she shouldn't appear on this high platform at all, but Zhen Yingjia not only came today, but also obviously wanted to suppress Jia Min and Lin Ruhai, and stand up in front of the officials.You know, not to mention that Lin Ruhai is now a fourth-rank magistrate, but Jia Min is a second-rank princess. He not only has a title but also a fief, and can be regarded as a member of the royal family.Today, Jia Min bowed his head in front of her, so Jia Min will always be a head shorter than the Zhen family in Jinling City from now on.

"Uncle Zhen is here too! I heard from the eldest brother of the Zhen family that Uncle Zhen was in poor health recently, so I thought you wouldn't go out? Didn't expect to meet you here today? Is Uncle Zhen in good health? Today is you Did you bring your family with you? I haven’t seen the old lady for a long time, and I just moved to Jinling, so I have to worry about everything. When I have free time, I must go to the old lady’s house to pay a visit to the old lady!” Jia Min laughed He walked to Zhen Yingjia's side, stood side by side with him, and asked Zhen Yingjia a bunch of questions as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Since Ma'am, Uncle Zhen is here, let's invite him to sit down and talk!" Lin Ruhai said while looking at Jia Min.

"Look at me, when I saw Uncle Zhen, I was so happy that I forgot everything. Please, Uncle Zhen, let's sit down and talk!"

Like their masters, Jia Min and Lin Ruhai led Zhen Yingjia, who looked a bit ugly, to the seat.Jia Min has the highest grade, she went straight to the middle seat and stopped, then smiled slightly at Zhen Yingjia, stretched out her hand as a gesture of invitation, and gave Zhen Yingjia the seat on her right hand side, and sat on her left hand side naturally. It was Lin Ruhai.

"Uncle Zhen sit next to me, we can talk!" Jia Min sat in the middle seat after speaking, then looked at Zhen Yingjia and said, "Uncle Zhen, sit down quickly!"

Zhen Yingjia's complexion is as ugly as it needs to be. He came here today to show off Jia Min, but he didn't expect Jia Min to take the lead in every step. Lin Ruhai tore his face, he can't fall out with them now, not only can't fall out, but also make friends with them on the surface, after all, the emperor stands behind them, and he still doesn't have the ability to contend with the emperor.But if he wants to stay, his face will be gone. In the eyes of these officials, he is afraid of Jia Min, so what face is there to let these people be with him?

Lin Ruhai stretched out his hand to help Zhen Yingjia with a smile, and before Zhen Yingjia could react, he was already sitting in his seat.

"Uncle Zhen just obeys the rules of etiquette too much. You are a senior, so you should sit here!" Lin Ruhai's words resolved Zhen Yingjia's embarrassment, making it look like he didn't sit down right away because he felt that it was inappropriate for him to sit next to Jia Min. of.

Before Zhen Yingjia could say a word, he was diverted from the direction by Jia Min and Lin Ruhai. At this moment, it would be even more inappropriate for him to say anything or do anything.Zhen Yingjia had no choice but to smile and said: "Although the old man is idle at home now, I also want to join in the fun, and get together and chat with all my former colleagues!"

"Uncle Zhen should come out and walk around more. My husband told me a few days ago that I need to ask Uncle Zhen about some things! Our house is almost cleaned up, and we will have a housewarming banquet in a few days. I will still visit Uncle Zhen at that time." Take the time to come and have a few drinks in the humble house!"

"Okay! When the time comes, my niece should prepare a few jars of good wine, and your Uncle Zhen and I will enjoy this glass of wine!"

"No problem! Uncle Zhen can just go, and my niece and I have enough wine! Can we go back on our agreement?"

"Definitely! Definitely!" Zhen Yingjia wiped her beard and said with a smile, a hint of calculation flashed in her eyes.

Jia Min asked some innocuous words again, and Zhen Yingjia also acted as if she and Jia Min had a good conversation.At this time, Hua Chong came over to Jia Min and Lin Ruhai saluted and said, "I would like to report to Princess Hui, Master, the merchants who donated money for this dragon boat race would like to see you two. I wonder if the princess would like it." see them?"

Jia Min nodded and said, "See you! Without their generosity, we wouldn't have seen such a grand dragon boat race, right! What do you think, husband?"

"Just listen to Madam! Invite them here!"

"Yes! This subordinate is going to invite them here!" Hua Chong took a few steps back, turned around and got off the high platform, and brought five men to Jia Min and the others in a short while.

"Greetings to Princess Hui, Mrs. Lin! I have met Master Zhen!" The five knelt down to salute Jia Min and the others, and habitually brought Zhen Yingjia along.Zhen Yingjia twitched the corner of her mouth indiscriminately, Jia Min and Lin Ruhai didn't seem to notice anything wrong, and smiled and told them to get up.

Liu Jinbao gave gifts to the Lin family years ago, hoping that his eldest grandson, Liu Guanjie, would worship under Lin Ruhai's family, but Jia Min refused to let him in. Later, Liu Guanjie did not find a chance to talk to Lin Ruhai at the wedding of Fourth Master Zhen. Later, Lin Ruhai and the others went to Mount Putuo just after the Chinese New Year. Liu Guanjie had no chance to see Lin Ruhai, so he had to go back to Xixi Academy to continue his studies.This time Liu Jinbao had the opportunity to meet Lin Ruhai, and wanted to mention his grandson, but just as he was about to speak, he was snatched away by Second Master Xue.

"Master Hui, speaking of which, we are serious in-laws! Zhuo Jing and the second wife of the Rongguo Mansion are sisters. I wonder if Princess Hui still remembers?"
