Not to mention, Wang Xifeng really understands Jia Lian's mind very well.

Hearing that Master Xue's frame appeared in Tianjin, Jia Lian knew what was going on. I'm also considering whether to meet in person.

The third generation of the four major families of Jia Wang Shi Xue, except for the prince Teng of the Wang family, there are not many people who have a future. This Master Xue is one of them, and he is the best.

Thinking of this, Jia Lian remembered that when he had just crossed over, he had investigated the deeds of the Xue family out of curiosity.

You must know that the reason why the four families of Jiawang and Shi Xue are collectively called the four major families of Jinling. Although it is because the four families are all natives of Jinling, the three families of Jia Shiwang really made military achievements when the country was founded.

Needless to say, the Jia family is a two-country prince and a first-class martial arts general of the country.

The first generation of the historian Baoling Hou was also both civil and military, not only served as the general of the Jingwei Jinling battalion. And he won the title of Shang Shuling.

Shang Shuling, who was once the head of the hundred officials in the Sui and Tang dynasties, began to become an official title in the late Zhou Dynasty. Especially for military attachés, many times when there is no seal, they will add a book order.

And although the ancestor of the Wang family, the prince, is not as conspicuous as the first two, he is only a county uncle, that is, a third-class uncle. However, the original prince was one of the founders of the East China Sea Division, and the Wang family also relied on the water to have the title of "Dragon King invited King Jinling".

However, the rise of Xue Gong, the first generation of the Xue family, is very mysterious. Jia Lian also took a lot of effort to know that the Xue family turned out to be the retainer of the Heavenly Family.

Later, the Xue family also assumed the responsibility of detecting Jiangnan for the Heavenly Family, and they could be regarded as subordinates of the Zhen family.

Fortunately, this generation of Master Xue died early, and the successor Xue Pan had no future, and Aunt Xue moved her family north and cut off contact with Jiangnan and the Zhen family. Otherwise, when the Zhen family is raided, the Xue family may still be implicated.

Jia Lian was sorting out his thoughts, and a subordinate came in to report,

"My lord, the housekeeper of your mansion is here, saying that he is here to deliver the message on the orders of his wife."

Jia Lian frowned, Wang Xifeng has been very well-behaved since he came to Tianjin, and he never bothered Jia Lian when he was in the yamen, this time it seems that there must be something wrong.

"Call him in."

"Second master, please say hello to the master." After Qing'er came in, she immediately saluted Jia Lian in a proper manner. He already knew that his master hated rampant slaves and maids the most, so Qing'er followed Jia Lian and always reminded him of his duty.

"Wake up, what's going on at home?"

"Today, my grandmother took her two aunts out for a walk. On the street, I met Master Xue, the head of the Xue family who came to Tianjin to inspect the business, and my grandmother invited Master Xue back to the house to sit down. Grandma asked me to come and ask my grandfather to show me if I wanted to go back and see him. ”

Jia Lian's eyes lit up, Wang Xifeng's thing was just right. The head of the Xue family came to Tianjin, and he knew that he didn't come to visit because he was a junior.

After all, among the four major families, the Wang family has been separated from the Jia family, and the Shi family has become a bunch of waste, and if the Xue family, which has little to do with politics, is separated from the Jia family, then the four major families will exist in name only.

But if he really came to the door, his and the Xue family's current identities would be a little sensitive.

That's for the best.

"I'll go back as soon as I take care of my official business, you go back first and let my wife be sure to receive my uncle attentively."

Jia Lian could actually go back immediately. , but after thinking about it for a while, he decided to wait. The reason why Master Xue accepted Wang Xifeng's invitation was clear to Jia Lian.

In the original book, Master Xue died, and Aunt Xue took the Xue Pan brothers and sisters into Beijing with their family, which was almost equivalent to giving up the foundation of the Xue family in Jiangnan.

Otherwise, with the mind of an inner house woman like Aunt Xue, she would definitely not have such courage.

You must know that the retainers of the Heavenly Family, especially those like the Xue Family, have a very heavy weight. Ziwei is the emperor star, and Ziwei Sheren is the title given by the Dazheng Tianjia to important retainers. It is this identity that gives the first generation of Xue Gong the confidence to be tied with the three families of Jia Wangshi.

And leaving Jiangnan means that the Xue family has taken off their royal coat and has since become an ordinary royal merchant family.

Master Xue saw very clearly that his health was not good, and his second brother was not a long-lived person. In addition to the two brothers, the rest of the Xue family, including his sister-in-law Xue Pan, is difficult to take on the big responsibility.

So he dragged his sick body around, and before he died, he took off the royal coat for the Xue family, so that the Xue family could live smoothly on the family business he had saved. also planned to send the only outstanding descendant, his daughter Xue Baochai, into the palace to leave a hope for the re-emergence of the Xue family.

This is Jia Lian's conclusion based on the intelligence investigated by Jinyi Mansion, and I have to say that Jia Lian thinks that this is the most suitable path for the Xue family. It's just that Master Xue has an unconscious son and an unvirtuous wife, which has led to a good road not being taken.

As for Master Xue's visit to Tianjin this time, Jia Lian knew very well that looking at the Feng number was just an excuse, and he should have come for himself.

In fact, Jia Lian was right, Master Xue not only came to Jia Lian, but also chased Jia Lian for most of the country.

Originally, when Aunt Xue entered Shenjing, she did not choose to go to the Wang family but went to the Jia family with a cheeky face, but Master Xue saw through a little.

In order to seek the progress of the prince's career, the Wang family needs a large amount of money. Mrs. Wang embezzled a large amount of silver from the Jia family to the Wang family, and Aunt Xue also supported the Wang family from the Xue family.

It's just that Aunt Xue is much more measured than Mrs. Wang, and Master Xue is much stronger than Jia Zheng. In addition, the Xue family has always been in the south of the Yangtze River, so the Wang family does not get much from the Xue family.

Once the Xue family is like-minded, with the two pieces of materials Aunt Xue and Xue Pan, Master Xue fully believes that the Xue family will soon be eaten by the Wang family.

And going to Jia's house is different, Jia's family is a good-looking person, and no one is working hard in his career. In addition, the Jia family has a big business, and they can't look down on the Feng brand.

Sheltered in the Jia family, with Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng here, the Xue family has nothing to do.

But he didn't expect that Jia Lian would be born. not only brought the Jia family back into the ranks of Wuxun's relatives and nobles, but also became a high-ranking official in brocade.

Hearing that Jia Lian had arrived in Jiangnan, Master Xue, who was originally in Shudi, hurried back to see Jia Lian.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived in Jinling, Jia Lian had already completed his official business and set off to return to Beijing. and took Wang Zisheng's family away.

Master Xue made a quick decision and asked Aunt Xue to be ready to move at any time, and he took Xue Pan's brothers and sisters to Beijing at the same time.

When I arrived in Shenjing, I heard that the war in northern Xinjiang was chaotic, and Jia Lian was sent to Tianjin by the Son of Heaven. At the same time, I also heard that Mrs. Wang and the second room were deprived of housekeeping rights by Jia's mother and kicked out of Rongxi Hall.

Master Xue knew that the situation was very unfavorable, and his time was running out, so he had to connect with Jia Lian as soon as possible.

That's why I rushed to Tianjin again. was worried about how to go to the Yamen of the town government to see Jia Lian, and saw Wang Xifeng wandering on the street.
