Xue Baoqin and the Mei family's son-in-law affair was taken down when the Xue family's father was still alive - that is, when Xue Pan's second uncle was not dead.

Since the death of Xue Baoqin's father, the Mei family has had a repetition intention, and it is precisely because of this that Mrs. Xue thought of letting her daughter go to Beijing first and walk around with a few prominent relatives, so that the Mei family could have more scruples.

But said that Xue Baoqin returned to Xuefu on Zijin Street, and arrived at the small courtyard where his brother and sister lived, because he walked quietly, no one noticed that the girl came back for a while, Baoqin was about to look for his brother Xue Zhen, but saw a person sitting alone under the porch, suddenly his face was hideous, and he suddenly sighed, and he didn't know who he was with.

It was his brother Xue Zhen.

Xue Baoqin hesitated slightly, then stepped forward and quipped: "My brother is here alone and sighs, could it be that he is sleepy in the spring?"

Xue Zhen was taken aback, and when he turned around and saw that it was his sister in person, he immediately returned to normal and said, "When my sister came back, I won't tell you." ”

Xue Baoqin sat on the railing, looked at her brother with big watery eyes, and asked, "It's just a trip home, what do you want, it's just what my brother is thinking." ”

She paused, and without waiting for her brother to speak, she stretched out her white fingers and said with a smile: "My brother took on the family business early, knows how to advance and retreat, and has the courage, I will never worry about business matters, I am afraid that the only thing that can make my brother so helpless is the matter of the little sister." Could it be the Mei family's business?"

"Little sister...... You ......"

Xue Zhen was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but open his mouth and said: "Since you know everything, then I'll tell you - I suddenly got the news last evening that Mei Shibo had ordered to be released, and he would leave Beijing to take up his post in the near future." ”

"I knew ......"

Xue Baoqin said faintly: "In this way, they didn't take the initiative to notify us at all?"

It seems that my sister already knows the news.

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

But think about it, it's spread all over the street, how could Rongguo Mansion not know?

Xue Zhen flashed this thought in his heart, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "So far, I haven't even revealed a little rumor, but everyone else knows that he will leave Beijing soon." ”

Xue Baoqin snorted coldly, his eyes full of annoyance.

In front of the county lord, she naturally has to be a little weaker, but in front of her brother who is the pillar, she can't be so weak.

Because she and her brother depend on each other.

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

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

She sighed and said: "At that time, when my father was here, I was a little decent in the emperor's place, and the Mei family naturally valued us, but now that my father has died, we have no dignity in the royal family, so they naturally don't value us." There is something strange about the people of this world who praise the high and step on the low, and the consistent behavior. ”

Xue Zhen heard that his sister had broken through the trick, and couldn't help but smile bitterly again, and after half a sound, he retracted and said resolutely: "I'm going to see off Mei Shibo, and then I can ask for a clear understanding - although our father is gone, my family will not rush to be practiced!"

Baoqin sighed, although there was some helplessness in his eyes, but there was no teardrop, just said: "The Mei family is a family of eunuchs, we are just merchants, and the identity is not equal, they naturally look down on us, that is, relying on the power of my aunt's family, they are unwilling to marry me in, and they will be disgusted in every way. ”

"It's better to retire now, there are more people who have withdrawn because of the disagreement between the eight characters, and I am not the same. Externally, let's say that when we first set up a marriage, I was young, I only exchanged Geng posts, and I didn't ask for a name, and now I am going to get married in two years, so I want to go through the six ceremonies, who knows that the eight characters don't match when I ask the name, it is for the big murderer, for the good of the two families, I agreed to withdraw from the marriage. In this way, although I have been affected a little, it does not have much to do with our family's reputation. ”

Xue Zhen was slightly shocked when he heard this.

When his sister said this, it seems that she has been thinking about this matter for a long time.

It's a pity that I'm still looking ahead and backward.

If you have a sister like this, what more can you ask for?

Xue Zhen was sighing, and suddenly someone reported: "The eldest prince of the Mei family came to visit with a steward, and his attitude was very humble. ”

The Mei family sent someone?

Xue Zhen and Bao Qin glanced at each other, and they both saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

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

After Xue Zhen walked into the living room, he saw the eldest son of the Mei family kneeling on the ground with a pop, kowtowing again and again, and his head smashed on the floor, "bang" sounded.

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

"My Mei family was rude first, my father said that he would kowtow to this, and my Mei family would have a trace of peace of mind. ”

"You and I are friends of the two worlds, why is it rude, Brother Mei is really polite. Xue Zhen said.

"No, no, no, it's really my Mei family's rudeness. ”

The eldest son of the Mei family paused, and said apologetically: "When my second brother and Sister Ling were married, the two were young, and they only exchanged Geng posts, and they didn't ask for names. ”

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

"In this box, there is a little money, plus two or three shops, it is not worth much, but it is more or less my family's heart, in addition, we will arrange three opera troupes to sing in Wangjiang Tower, and everyone will know about this matter, and it will definitely not let Miss Xue's reputation be lost at all. ”

"What?"

Rao is Xue Zhencheng Mansion is quite deep, and he can't help but be dumbfounded.

In his eyes, although the head of the Mei family is just a Hanlin, he has connections all over the capital, and he can release it if he wants to, and it is not something that a single Xue family can fight against.

After Xue Zhen sent the Mei family away, he opened the box and couldn't help but be stunned again.

There are 30,000 taels of silver tickets in the box!

In addition, there are three property rights deeds of shops on the bustling streets of the capital, all of which are complete in formalities.

The other is to take the invitations of a few theaters, the above list is arranged in great detail, and at a glance, you can know that the Mei family has spent a lot of effort to arrange the programs, which are all damaging the reputation of the Mei family and promoting the Xue family.

Sure enough, Xue Baoqin's reputation was not damaged at all.

Even if they are backed by Rongguo Mansion, the Jia family will not tear up their faces with the Mei family because of this trivial matter.

can also make the Mei family bleed so much.

Could it be that there are noble people to help?

"It must have been Lord Lin who asked his brother to do it, presumably pinching the handle of the Mei family, so that his family could obediently comply. Xue Baoqin listened to her brother's words, said firmly, and told her brother about the conversation with Lin Daiyu a few days ago.

Xue Zhen sighed: "It turned out to be the eldest sister's husband's family, Zhong Qinbo and Jinyi Wei both commanded Lin Dutang to help! With such a great grace, my brother and sister should see Lin Dutang in person and kowtow to him. ”

But I thought in my heart: "In the future, I will definitely let my sister not go to Rongguo Mansion, and socialize more with my eldest sister and Lord Lin, maybe in the future, I will have to ask the Lin family to tell my sister that they are good relatives!"

"But no matter what, Uncle Lin is really a reincarnated Bodhisattva! If there is a chance, I, Xue Zhen, will definitely go to the soup and fight the fire, and I will not give up. ”
