Chapter 155: The Xie Family
Xiang Yunting habitually nodded yes, but it didn't mean that he recognized Zhen Yingjia's words, he just didn't dare and couldn't make any moves to resist Zhen Yingjia. But the dissatisfaction with Lin Ruhai in his heart has arrived, and he doesn't want to admit that he is jealous of Lin Ruhai.
Jia Min got up early in the morning and asked someone to hand over the post to the Xie family in Wuyi Lane, and then packed up the gifts prepared in advance, as well as the things that Xie asked her to bring, and loaded a large cart. The Lin family's mansion is only a quarter of an hour away from Wuyi Lane, and Lin Ruhai did not come with him today, Jia Min's carriage did not stop at the gate, and the Xie family actually unloaded the threshold and let the carriage enter directly through the gate. Jia Min was a little puzzled by this approach, she was just a woman in the house, even if she went to Jia Dai Confucianism yesterday, she had never received such courtesy, even if she was the county lord of the emperor's own title, such a move was a bit excessive. Jia Min frowned, and couldn't understand the reason why the Xie family did this for a while, and at this time, the carriage also stopped at the second gate, and Jia Min didn't think much about it, so he got out of the carriage. As soon as he stood firmly, he saw an old woman with a group of female relatives saluting him, Jia Min quickly took two steps forward and dragged the old woman's arm, "Old lady, don't do this!" Doesn't that torment me! I had come to visit the old lady, and that made me uneasy! ”
"The county lord came to the Xie family in person, and the old body should have brought the daughter of the Xie family to kneel to greet him!" Although the Xie family is a family that has been inherited for thousands of years, it is no longer as powerful as it was back then, only three of the descendants of the Xie family are officials in the court, and none of them are high-level, and none of them are Beijing officials. And Mrs. Xie herself has no orders, she can be respected by everyone in the circle of noblewomen in Jinling City, which shows that her personality and methods are very unusual.
"The old lady is polite, I am far away from the capital now, and I don't pay attention to these red tapes, not to mention that I have a very close relationship with Sister Xie, and the old lady is also my elder, I came to visit the elders today!"
"The county lord and the little girl are sisters and sisters, and the old body is very pleased! The county lord invites the hall to have tea! ”
Jia Min and Mrs. Xie all moved to the hall of the backyard to entertain guests, and the little maids presented the dragon well before the Ming Dynasty, Jia Min observed it carefully, and found that the Xie family, whether it was the master or the subordinates, knew the rules and etiquette very well, and the supplies and furnishings were also very delicate and atmospheric, showing the heritage of the millennium family everywhere.

Mrs. Xie introduced her daughters to Jia Min one by one, and Jia Min also gave a meeting gift. Lin Lang, who came with him, naturally got everyone's love again, and he also received a lot of meeting gifts. After seeing the ceremony, Mrs. Xie asked her to retreat first, leaving her eldest daughter-in-law Wang to serve by her side, this Wang is the eldest daughter of the serious Wuyi Lane Wang family, and she is a dignified and virtuous person at first glance.
Jia Min handed Mrs. Xie's letter to Mrs. Xie, and when Mrs. Xie read her daughter's letter, she couldn't help but miss it, and her eyes couldn't help but moisten.
"The old lady doesn't have to be sad, Sister Xie and Brother Li are harmonious, Lord Li and Mrs. Li are also very lenient to Sister Xie, and the two children are also healthy and sensible, Sister Xie asked me to tell you that she is living well in the Li Mansion!" Jia Min reassured.
"I know! It's inevitable that I, a mother, will miss her, no matter how good she says, I don't feel at ease if I don't see each other. ”
"I also understand the old lady's heart, but as a child, I hope that the old man can live a long and healthy life, carefree! Although you can't see Sister Xie often, Sister Xie must want you to be happy all day long, and you have to take care of your body for this Sister Xie! ”
"Thank you for your enlightenment! It's good that the little girl has been in the capital, but this spring is about to take up the post of son-in-law in Shanxi! Shanxi doesn't need the capital, my daughter is going to suffer! ”
"Old lady, as long as Sister Xie's family of four can live happily anywhere together, what do you say?"
Old Mrs. Xie nodded and pulled the topic away, "Has the county lord been to Zhen's house?" ”
"Been there! My mother's family is related to the Zhen family, and this time my father sent a letter to Master Zhen."
Old Mrs. Xie pondered for a moment and said: "The county lord and my little girl should be good, and the old man must remind the county lord of two sentences, so as not to be deceived and suffer losses!" ”
"Please also ask the old lady to give advice!"
"In this Jiangnan area, especially in Jinling City, the Zhen family can be said to be a dominant family. Although our Xie family is also quite famous, everyone is also looking at the thousand-year-old inheritance family to give face, unlike the Zhen family, they are truly powerful. ”
Jia Min heard that Mrs. Xie had a lot of complaints about the Zhen family, so she smiled and said, "I also heard these things when I was in the capital!" ”

"Presumably, the county lord also knows something about what the Zhen family has done, but the county lord knows that the Zhen family's hand is now stretched out to other places."
Jia Min had no waves on his face, just drank tea and listened carefully to Mrs. Xie's speech. Mrs. Xie couldn't help but admire in her heart, this Jiamin County Lord is so courageous, he can have such a heart at a young age, and this Jiamin County Lord is also an extraordinary person!
Old Mrs. Xie took a sip of tea and continued: "The Zhen family secretly opened several mines in Jiangxi and Hunan, including gold mines and iron mines! The county lord knows that these are not trivial! The Zhen family's ambition is not small! ”
Jia Min smiled and glanced at Mrs. Xie and said, "Old lady, I am just a woman in the house, although I have received the emperor's grace and given the title of county lord, but I don't have the ability to take care of these things!" In fact, Jia Min had already learned some of the things Zhen Yingjia did in Jiangnan from Lin Ruhai, and Jia Min even suspected that the emperor knew about these things, but at this time, when these things were made public from time to time, the emperor would not tear his face with the Zhen family at present, at least when the old lady Zhen was alive, the Zhen family would definitely be fine. Mrs. Xie told her this, but she wanted to spread these things to the capital through her mouth, or she wanted to use Lin Ruhai to suppress the Zhen family. Jia Min is not stupid, he will not be used, and he will not let anyone destroy the layout of the emperor and Lin Ruhai.
"Does the old lady know the relationship between Mrs. Zhen and the emperor?"
"I know a little bit about this, and the emperor's leniency for the Zhen family is also because of the presence of Mrs. Zhen. The emperor is a nostalgic person, just looking at how generous the emperor is to Ling Zun Guogong, he knows that the emperor will not punish the old man easily. Mrs. Xie knew that it was not so easy to persuade Jia Min to make a move, but she was not in a hurry, she first had to get Jia Min's approval and let Jia Min and the Xie family stand on the same side.
