Chapter 154: Coming to the door
On the side of Jinling's ancestral house, Wang Ziteng also has a cousin, after Wang Ziteng died, the news spread to Jinling, and the Wang family in Wuyi Lane gave Wang Ziteng their branch to the clan. After Wang Ziteng's cousin found out, he vomited blood and died on the spot, and his wife was about to give birth, and after knowing the death of her husband, it was difficult to give birth to a daughter, and she also followed, leaving a son who had just turned eight years old and a newborn daughter. Now Wang Ziteng's wife has returned to the ancestral house in Jinling, and Wang Ziteng's wife not only has to raise her own children, but also is responsible for raising the two orphans of the uncle's family. Originally, I wanted to only raise the uncle's son and give my daughter away, but when Wang Ziteng's wife saw the newborn girl for the first time, she didn't feel soft-hearted, such a delicate and cute little doll was really reluctant to give it away, so she was raised in her own house and named Xifeng.
The last of the four major families is the imperial merchant Xue family married to Wang Ziteng's sister-in-law, Xiao Wang. The master of the Xue family is now close to the age of sixtieth, and he has two sons, the eldest son is a concubine, and the second son is born by his wife, and he is married to Xiao Wang. The Xue family's business covers a wide range of areas, and they have the title of imperial merchant, and are responsible for the procurement of utensils and jewelry in the palace, so they can be described as rich. Because of the Zhen family's status in Jiangnan, the Xue family also has close contacts with the Zhen family, and the Xue family has sent silver to the Zhen family, and the Zhen family has also helped the Xue family a lot in business.
When Lin Ruhai and Jia Min came to the door, Jia Dairu took his family and the other members of the Jia family to greet him at the gate. But if you call the other people in the family to greet you, the battle will be a little bigger. The neighbors saw the Jia family standing at the gate, and they didn't know that something big had happened, and after inquiring carefully, they learned that it was the aunt and uncle of Rongguo Mansion in the capital who came to the house to pay their respects. No one in Jinling knows the two grandfathers of the Jia family, and now that their aunt and wife are here, they are very curious and want to see the demeanor of the girls in the Guogong Mansion.
Lin Ruhai and Jia Min didn't expect to see so many people when they got off the carriage. Jia Dairu and the others bowed down in unison and shouted: "Meet the county lord of Jiamin!" Meet Lord Lin! A lot of people who watched the excitement also unconsciously followed and bowed. Jia Min and Lin Ruhai were both stunned, then glanced at each other, and Jia Min immediately said: "Please get up quickly, your own relatives, there is no need for such a battle!" Lin Ruhai also personally stepped forward to help the leader Jia Dairu up.

After Jia Dairu got up, he looked up and saw the faces of Lin Ruhai and Jia Min clearly, and was stunned on the spot, Lin Ruhai called him several times with a smile, or the son behind him reacted and pulled off Jia Dairu's shirt behind him, and he came back to his senses. "The county lord and Lord Lin, please come with me!" Jia Dairu smiled a little uncomfortably.
As Jia Min and Lin Ruhai entered the courtyard gate of Jia Dai Confucianism, the lively crowd gradually dispersed, but the matter about the county lord of Rongguo Mansion and her husband, Lord Lin of Suzhou Zhizhou, became the hottest topic in Jinling City for a while. Even the clansmen of the Jia family are also sought after, and wherever they go, they have to ask them about Jia Min and Lin Ruhai.
Jia Min and Lin Ruhai did not eat in Jia Dairu's house, Jia Min and the ladies of the clan met and greeted each other for a while, and then under the pretext of being pregnant and tired, they went back to their mansion with Lin Ruhai and Lin Lang.
In the evening, Lin Ruhai received a letter from Zhen's subordinates, he thought about it for a while, and discussed with Jia Min: "Min'er, we will return to Suzhou at the latest the day after tomorrow." It's better to take Lang'er alone tomorrow to meet Mrs. Xie at Xie Mansion. Master Zhen sent me a letter, saying that tomorrow there will be a banquet in his mansion, and many figures in the Jiangnan officialdom will participate, and invite me to go with me, I think this is a good opportunity, and it is a hundred times stronger for Zhen Yingjia to come forward to help me introduce these officials, which is a hundred times stronger than me getting acquainted with one by one, so I still decided to go to the banquet in Zhen's mansion tomorrow, and I will not accompany you to Xie's house. ”
Jia Min naturally knew which was more important, so he nodded and said: "Husband, just take care of you, I will arrange everything, tomorrow I will go to see the old lady Xie and there will be nothing to do, and we can leave early the day after tomorrow." ”
In Zhen Yingjia's study, Xiang Yunting was talking to Zhen Yingjia about Lin Ruhai.
"Lord Zhen, I heard that this Lin Ruhai is in the capital, but he is not making trouble for us!"
Zhen Yingjia glanced at Xiang Yunting meaningfully, and smiled sarcastically: "Look at me, don't you 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 Master Zhen so far, but had instead gone to provoke Lin Ruhai and Jia Min to death, and was directly put under house arrest by the emperor, in fact, it was almost the same as being locked in a cold palace. He is not an open-minded person, Lin Ruhai is now working under him, he originally wanted to make things difficult for him, but he also knew that Lin Ruhai's Yue family's Rongguo Mansion had a good relationship with the Zhen family, so he wanted to test it today. Who knew that Zhen Yingjia would expose his little trick so bluntly. Xiang Yunting's nervous forehead was sweating, and he swept Zhen Yingjia with his eyes from time to time to see if Zhen Yingjia was angry.

Zhen Yingjia took a few sips of tea with the tea bowl, and put the tea bowl on the table of the Eight Immortals next to him casually, and the sound of the tea bowl being put down was a little loud, which frightened Xiang Yunting shuddered. Zhen Yingjia glanced at Xiang Yunting with disdain, and then said: "Lin Ruhai is a talent that the emperor focuses on cultivating, he will not stay in Jiangnan for too long, you must help him support him, let him make a beautiful political achievement as soon as possible, of course, you must let him know that it was us who helped him, and ask him to remember our great kindness." ”
"Yes! The lower officials must do it! It's just that I beg your pardon for being stupid and not understanding Lord Zhen's intentions in doing this. ”
Zhen Yingjia glared at Xiang Yunting irritably, this idiot, if it weren't for his special obedience, he really didn't want to follow such a fool to talk more.
"You don't want to think about why the emperor cultivated him and reused him! After he returns to the capital, he will be a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and it is more likely that the emperor will choose an auxiliary minister for the crown prince, do you say that he is important to us? ”
Xiang Yunting looked at Zhen Yingjia without shock, he didn't expect this young Lin Ruhai to be so good. He thought in his heart, and said unconsciously: "This kid's life is really good!" ”
Zhen Yingjia snorted disdainfully, "If you can have his shrewdness and talent, your life will also be very good!" ”
