Thinking in her heart, this new aunt said that she could not be favored for a few more days, so she served more diligently.

gave Jin Hai a hot bath, and went to the kitchen to serve a digested meal, waiting for Jin Hai's snow-white little face to barely recover a little blood.

Jin Hai was uncomfortable, and he couldn't raise his appetite for the dishes on the table, and he was leaning on the pillow on the kang, and he drank the porridge without a mouthful.

was persuaded by the safflower, and introduced the Qian family.

Mother and daughter saw each other, but it was only a day apart, as if they hadn't seen each other in several lifetimes.

Qian's eyes were red, and he looked at Jin Hai, his only precious daughter, who was still childish after last night, with a childish face, red at the end of his eyes, and a little spring.

Although the description is pale, it generally looks good, and then look at the table full of dishes on the kang table, all of which are good meals.

Knowing that Jin Hai was not frustrated, he breathed a sigh of relief first.

Jin Hai suffered such a big sin yesterday, and when he saw Qian, he shouted his mother tremblingly, and tears fell down.

Qian stepped forward quickly, hugged Jin Hai in his arms, and comforted him.

Because Aoba was accompanying the rough mother-in-law, the girl Honghua withdrew very interestingly, leaving some space for the mother and daughter to talk privately.

The mother and daughter hugged their heads and cried for a while, before they could barely stop their tears.

Qian looked at Jin Hai for a while, and then asked in a low voice: "Last night, it was-" I really couldn't ask.

Jin Hai's little face was pale, and he only lifted his clothes, revealing the scars on his body, and after a night, the bruises became more and more terrifying.

Qian's heart trembled, tears came out all of a sudden, and he hugged Jin Hai and cried: "My poor Jin Hai—"

While taking out the wound medicine in his arms: "Lie down quickly, let my mother apply the medicine to you-"

Jin Hai's face changed, although she was her mother, but her place that she couldn't say clearly was uncomfortable, and it hurt when she moved, even if she was young, she knew that it was not easy to say it.

What's more, after crying at the moment, I calmed down, and I also knew that I had such an experience, and it wasn't because of Mei Changan?

Qian's mother-in-law, no matter how much she hurts herself in her mouth, can't she resist her father?

Since you can bear to send your daughter as a concubine, who is distressed now?

Therefore, he refused with a cold face.

"Why is my mother crying now, it looks like she hurts me, if she really hurts me, why didn't you stop my father from sending me in?"

"My son, what you say is a stab in my mother's heart - why doesn't my mother really feel sorry for you? Isn't that impossible? Who would dare not listen to your father's words? Besides, your father can't help it, if he doesn't send you in, our family will suffer! ”

"Who made your aunt's cheap girl, if she agrees and is obediently sent in, where can you suffer such a crime? Do you think your father's heart doesn't hurt?

？ Yesterday you were picked up, and your father was so uncomfortable that he drank half a night's stuffy wine. Before I went to bed, I remembered you and told me to come and see you. ”

"You are the meat that fell from us and your father, who do you hurt if it doesn't hurt? Isn't this all impossible? If you want to blame, blame your old girl! She was the one who hurt you! Now she doesn't know whether she lives or dies, she has been robbed, and even if she comes back in the future, she will lose her reputation, which can be regarded as her retribution! ”

Qian listened to Jin Hai and resented her and Mei Changan in his heart, how could he not be sad in his heart.

She is naturally weak-hearted, but she can't show it in front of Jin Hai, and only pushes this crime on Mei Xiaotong.

When Jin Hai heard this, she simply said to her heart, if Mei Xiaotong didn't agree to be sent to this mansion, how could it be her turn?

If Mei Xiaotong obediently becomes an adult's concubine, she will rise to the top, and she will still be an innocent girl's family, and she will be able to marry a good husband in the future.

It's because of her that she fell into such a field!

Thinking like this, Jin Hai's face showed resentment: "Mei Xiaotong! ”

I also secretly made up my mind in my heart, I have to let people inquire about it, see where Mei Xiaotong was kidnapped by the strongman, and I have to know that she is not doing well, and I am happy! Qian was relieved to see that Jin Hai was changed by what he said.

accompanied Jin Hai Haosheng to imagine the tragic situation of Mei Xiaotong falling into the hands of thieves and being ravaged and ruined, and then he felt relieved.

Seeing that Jin Hai was in a better mood, Qian asked cautiously: "Jin Hai, was the adult okay with you last night?" Now that you're an adult, you're not at home, and you can't be petty! Serve the adults well! If not, you just think about how your mother serves your father on weekdays, follow along, and respect adults as heaven, you know? ”

Jin Hai was still a half-old child, although he had a grudge against Qian and Mei Chang'an before, he was coaxed by Qian's few words and forgot about it.

Hearing Qian's concerned question again, tears suddenly came out, and he choked up: "Mother, I'm so scared, it hurts-"

Qian's tears also welled up, hugging Jin Hai: "My son, this is what women have to go through, you can bear with it, and it will be fine in the future!" The next time an adult comes to your house again, remember not to cry and mourn, but to be happy to know? ”

"Mother, but I'm afraid, it really hurts, mother-" Jin Hai remembered last night, and couldn't help but turn pale.

"Jin Hai, you are now an adult, your lifelong hope is to be an adult, if you don't coax the adult and stay in your room more, how will you live in the future? While the adults are still a little fresh to you, hurry up and conceive a child, that is the foundation of your life in the future! "Qian's bitter mouth.

Jin Hai's face froze, she was still a child herself, so let her conceive a child?

Besides, when she woke up today, there was a bowl of duck soup waiting for her.

I don't know why, Jin Hai's words came to his lips,

The ghost sent the god to swallow this thing back, and only nodded vaguely in agreement.

Seeing that the time is not early, the red flowers and green leaves outside have knocked on the door several times to remind them.

Qian was reluctant to get up and touched Jin Hai's face: "Mother is going home, you are good, serve the adults carefully, you know?" ”

Jin Hai gritted his teeth and nodded, struggled to get off the kang with tears in his eyes, sent Qian to the gate of the courtyard, and watched Qian go away, so he wiped his tears and gritted his teeth and entered the house.

When Qian returned home, Mei Changan didn't go out for a day, waiting for the news that Qian brought back, and when she saw that Qian was back, she hurriedly grabbed it and went to the house.

"How's the golden hairpin? Did it happen yesterday? Mei Changan asked nervously.

Qian nodded.

Mei Changan put his mind at ease and showed a smile: "That's good, that's good!" With the appearance of our golden hairpin, we are carefully serving adults, and if we have a son and a half daughter in the future, we will be completely firm! If you're fine, go see Jin Hai, teach her more, don't be petty, do you hear? ”

Qian lowered his eyebrows and agreed.

Mei Changan patted his thigh excitedly, as if he had thought of a good day in the future.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard someone knock on the door: "Master Wang, is Master Wang at home?" Tall man, please—"

Mei Changan immediately stood up, rushed to the gate of the courtyard in three steps and two steps, stopped again, tidied up his hair and clothes, and then pretended to be chic and opened the door unhurriedly: "Wang is at home, what is the matter with me?" ”

"Something big has happened, my lord is angry, let me ask Master Wang to discuss it quickly-" The person who came was Gao Jin's little guy, and he dragged Mei Changan and ran.

Mei Changan didn't care about explaining, so he followed the little guy into the carriage and left......

As soon as I entered the county office, I found that the atmosphere was not right.

There were only two or three people in the study, all of them were silent and did not speak, and Gao Jin, who was sitting in the middle, was even more black as iron.

Seeing Mei Changan come in, thinking of his daughter's taste yesterday, Gao Jin nodded reluctantly: "You came just in time, everyone has arrived, and I just happened to tell you about the matter, now something big has happened in our Qi City, one is not good, I'm afraid that this Qi City will change the world!" ”

As soon as these words came out, several people present showed surprise.

Everyone knows Qicheng, even if Mei Changan didn't know before, a few days ago he said that he wanted to dedicate his sister to Gao Jin, and said that he would also dedicate Gao Jin to the dividends of the dyeing workshop, plus Mei Changan was born with a good face, and he was very good at talking, and every sentence seemed to be able to scratch Gao Jin's itch.

Gao Jin could see that Mei Changan was really attached, and he did have some real skills, although his reputation was a little not good, but for Gao Jin, it was nothing.

What scholar doesn't want to be an official? What does that mean? Learn to write and martial arts, and sell it to Dimei's family.

A poor talent with no connections, no money and no luck, what else can he do besides clinging to himself? Gao Jin has a handle

If you can control Mei Chang'an, you naturally don't mind these.

So it also revealed the inside story that Mei Changan didn't know about before, and let Mei Changan spy behind the scenes of Qicheng.

As soon as Gao Jin arrived in Qicheng, he quickly got in touch with those local snakes, Qicheng was named after minerals, and these minerals were owned by the imperial court at the beginning.

Slowly, some of them, or the newly added mines, became the private property of the troops stationed here to guard them.

Later, the descendants of these garrisons naturally took over these things, and slowly for decades, Qicheng was almost completely operational.

When the county order came to Qicheng, he would either be with the light and dust, cooperate with them, and make a fortune together from the imperial court.

Either they just want to report this matter to the imperial court, so that the imperial court can take this cancer, but it's a pity that the county orders who generally think like this, including their families, basically didn't leave Qicheng alive.

Therefore, although Qicheng is a wealthy county, no one with a spectrum in his heart will think of coming here to be an official, where is being an official, it is simply a death!

Gao Jin did learn a little bit about Qi Cheng through the relationship on Xia's side, he was a bold man, but he made a bet, and sure enough, the bet was right.

Qi Cheng also knew that the death of the county order in three days and two ends would naturally arouse the suspicion and investigation of the court above, and if it was really broken, I was afraid that it would be a felony of raiding the family and exterminating the clan.

Because as soon as he saw Gao Jin coming, he took the initiative to find them and asked for cooperation, where would he refuse?

The two sides hit it off, and the two sides ended this friendly interview in a peaceful atmosphere.

It is determined that Gao Jin will also be able to get a piece of the pie in the future, and he will not waver during his tenure.

Since then, Gao Jin only needs to open one eye and close one eye, and a large amount of silver will flow into his purse.

This private mine is Gao Jin's cash cow, his cornucopia, and he is stricter than those local snakes.

Regarding dealing with these local snakes and collecting money, Gao Jin himself does not interfere, so he naturally has to find a confidant.

Originally, Zhang Pengju was the first consideration, but Gao Jin saw that Zhang Pengju was old, and he couldn't do it for long, so he had to tell the old man and return to his hometown, wouldn't it be troublesome?

One more person knows, one more danger, isn't it?

After planning for a long time, Mei Changan entered his eyes, and now that he sees that Mei Changan has even lost his name, what else can he say? That's him! Young, ruthless, and able to speak! Only such a person can resist those earthly snakes and bite off a bigger piece of meat from their hands. Since then, Mei Changan has become Gao Jin's staff member who is in charge of the situation of private mines, and it can be regarded as a fertilizer that does not flow into the fields of outsiders.

Eating and drinking in the restaurant that day was the time when everyone met, and it was also the time to introduce Mei Changan to everyone.

The local snakes have already had a tacit understanding, since this Mei Chang'an is the eyeliner of the county lord and the representative of the county lord, then everyone naturally has to get along well and give some

Little sweetie, I can only be hello in the future, hello, everyone.

Drinking delicious wine and food, eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and then hugging the enchanting courtesans, as well as the meeting gifts of the local snakes.

However, after a meal, Mei Changan collected nearly 100 taels of silver tickets, and also received a few good things, and immediately made up for the shortfall.

Why is Mei Changan so determined to send Jin Hai to Gao Jin as a concubine? Because he knew that without this relationship, how could he make Gao Jin trust him?

He took his own only daughter as a vote and handed it to Gao Jin.

Gao Jin also tacitly accepted this nomination.

The relationship between father and daughter cannot compare to the immediate interests and future wealth.

Let's talk about Gao Jin, I slept with a tender little beauty yesterday, and when I was proud of the spring breeze, I received a letter.

It was sent by a fellow snake in the land.

I read the content of the letter: It turned out that there was a shortage of people in the mine before the Chinese New Year, and the output required after the New Year was high.

Something happened after the year, and one of these beggars died, and I don't know what happened, so there was a disturbance in the mines, and the beggars rebelled, killed the guards who were guarding them, and ran away.

Ran away, ran away, was found and caught back, over the years, there were a lot of people who stole away from the mine, and they were basically caught, the entire land of this Qi City is theirs, these miners, all of whom are tortured and extremely weak, can they run there?

At first, no one took it seriously, and chased after it according to the old routine, only to find that the group of escaped beggars disappeared without a trace, and no matter how much they searched, they couldn't find it.

Let the people guard the main roads in and out of Qi City, and search the city, but still find nothing.

On the contrary, it was found out that there was a terrible nobleman who didn't know when he arrived in Qicheng.

Gao Jin saw that it was like thunder, and the pride of the man in the morning had long been frightened away.

Gao Jin is not stupid, not only is he not stupid, he is quite smart, otherwise he would not have gone from an ordinary reader to today.

He soon realized that he was afraid that the storm in Qicheng was coming.

So immediately bring your henchmen to discuss how to deal with it.

Waiting for Gao Jin to talk about the matter in general, a few henchmen understood, not to mention anything else, everyone knew about the involvement of Gao Jin and the local snakes, but it was just a matter of the majority and the less.

The two or three people at this moment are the most trusted by Gao Jin at present, and they know that they and Gao Jin are both prosperous and loss-making.

If something really happened to Gao Jin, they wouldn't be able to wash it clean.

Therefore, several people glanced at each other, and Mei Changan first arched his hand and said, "My lord, may I ask who is that incredible nobleman?" ”

Gao Jin showed an indescribable expression, and only spoke after a while: "That's Lord Kyoto Weiguo." ”

this

As soon as a few words came out, several staff members present were dumbfounded.

Wei Guogong! Song Hong!

That's really a thunderous and famous person.

At the beginning, Wei Guogong was one of the eight founding princes of the country, and he was very favored by the founding emperor and made great contributions to Taizu.

He is loyal and loyal, and he will judge the situation and judge the situation, so he has won the hereditary replacement of Taizu's Danshu iron coupon, this honor is not only in the current dynasty, but also in the past dynasties, it is also very rare.

It is really as long as the descendants of the Weiguo Mansion do not rebel to the death, they will work with the imperial court to pass on the glory and wealth from generation to generation.

It's a pity that when the Weiguo Mansion was in the first emperor, because it stood on the wrong team, it lost its sacred heart, and gradually fell silent, falling from a first-class magnate to a third-rate.

Fortunately, the current head of the Weiguo Mansion is also quite courageous, after the new emperor ascended the throne, seized the opportunity, and gradually entered the eyes of the new emperor, for the new emperor, after guarding the frontier for decades, he retired successfully, took the initiative to hand over the military power, returned to Kyoto, and became the most popular magnate around the new emperor in one fell swoop.

With the Guardian Mansion, he returned to the top elite circle in Kyoto.

Such a big man, they probably don't even have the chance to meet in their lives, but they are actually in Qicheng at this moment?

Not only a few staff, but even Gao Jin didn't believe it.

However, Mei Changan barely kept calm: "At this time, the first month has not ended, why did Wei Guogong appear in Qicheng?" Qicheng is nearly a thousand miles away from Kyoto, what is the purpose of his coming to Qicheng? Will? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed.

※※※

The largest inn in the courtyard.

Plum blossoms are fragrant.

The kang in the house was burned enough, and it was enough to wear a thin robe.

The man Mei Xiaotong saw that day, wearing a dark green brocade robe, leaned on the pillow on the kang, pushed the window open, and the cold air with Mei Xiang in the courtyard rushed in.

Ordinary people alternate between hot and cold like this, and they can't say that they want to shiver, but the man looks indifferent.

Opposite him, sitting was An Huahao.

If Mei Xiaotong was there, she would have found out why she felt that the man she met in the inn that day looked a little familiar, and he was a little similar to An Huahao.

At this moment, the two are sitting facing each other, and anyone with eyes can see that there must be a blood relationship between the two.
