While a group of noble ladies were exchanging information, the children beside them were also playing happily. They could only stay at home on weekdays, but it was frustrating them.
The boys are on the left side of the lady, and the right side is where the girls socialize and talk.
Daiyu looked at the round-faced sister in front of her with her eyes widened.
On her head is a dark and glossy bun, her lips are red but not dotted, her eyebrows are green but not painted, her face is like a silver basin, and her eyes are like apricots.
He was born with lustrous muscles and bones, and elegant manners.
Somehow, when Daiyu saw this sister who was three years older than herself, she felt an inexplicable hostility in her heart.
Xue Baochai also looked at the little sister who was inexplicably hostile in front of her with a puzzled expression. However, as a merchant, she was influenced by the worldly sophistication and made her put aside her doubts for the time being. She took the initiative to talk, hoping to relieve the hostility.
"This is the sister of the Lin family! How old is your sister?"
Xue Baochai took advantage of the situation and took Daiyu's little hand.
Daiyu was about to break away, but she thought that she could not damage the Lin family's upbringing, so she could only let Xue Baochai hold her hand.
"Sister Xue, my sister is seven years old this year."
Daiyu replied softly.
"Have you ever read any books?"
"I just briefly read four books, some elementary books and some miscellaneous travel notes..."
"Oh? What miscellaneous books has my sister read?"
Xue Baochai also became interested and happily chatted with Daiyu.
The two of them talked about some miscellaneous books they had read, and they suddenly felt that they had met each other late, and the inexplicable hostility in Daiyu's heart disappeared without a trace.
After feeling that the hostility on the sister of the Lin family had disappeared, Xue Baochai also breathed a sigh of relief, and then started talking to Daiyu more vigorously.
Seeing their two little daughters chatting animatedly, Xue Wang and Jia Min looked at each other, and Xue Wang quickly walked to Jia Min's side.
"We haven't seen each other for so many years, but sister Min is still so radiant..." Mrs. Xue Wang looked at Jia Min's still radiant face with a complex expression and said with emotion.
"Second sister... has changed a lot..." Jia Min looked at Xue Wang's face that had begun to wrinkle, and felt a little moved in her heart.
The two of them have known each other since they were children. Miss Wang is seven or eight years older than him, and she is also a veritable little sister.
Since the second sister-in-law Wang Shuqing married into the Duke's mansion, they have seen each other more often.
When the Wang sisters compared each other, Jia Min lamented at that time, they are both sisters, how come the gap is so big?
Although my sister doesn't have a good temper, she knows how to assess the situation and deal with people tactfully.
On the contrary, as the elder sister, the second sister-in-law often behaves like a monster and goes crazy, cannot see herself clearly, and is often embarrassed by herself. The relationship between the two was also forged at that time.
The battle between sister-in-law and sister-in-law continued until the eve of her wedding.
I only remember that I discovered that my second sister-in-law had gone to her parents' house to steal property belonging to the family, so I encouraged my eldest nephew Jia Hui, who was still honest at the time, to complain to his father.
As expected, the eldest nephew Jia Hui ran straight towards Lixiangyuan, unable to stop him!
Not long after, the angrily father, holding a mace, took his eldest nephew's hand and walked towards the public treasury.
There was a lot of excitement, and it was only in the evening that she learned about the punishment for the second sister-in-law.
The second sister-in-law was forced to kneel in the Buddhist hall for fifteen days and copied the "Women's Precepts" ten times.
However, because Miss Min Si was about to get married, all punishments were postponed.
The only regret that is not a regret is that the eldest nephew Jia Hui was also punished by his mother to kneel in the ancestral hall for seven days for reporting the following crimes to his elders.
So far, the relationship between the eldest nephew Jia Hui and his second aunt has been established, but their relationship is also not good.
I'm really sorry, eldest nephew, it was your aunt who hurt you!
However, for her, Jia Min, the ending was pretty good. Although her innocent nephew was implicated, it also ended another war.
From the moment Jia Min got on the sedan chair, Jia Min knew that the war was over.
The two battles, the war between aunt and sister-in-law and the war between aunt and nephew, both ended with Miss Jia Min's victory.
"What? My cousin from the Xue family wants to marry Baochai to Brother Hui?"
Jia Min was a little surprised after hearing Wang Xue's words.
"Yes, the comprador qualification of the Grand Governor is nothing more than a help in times of need for the Xue family. It really saved the entire Xue family and preserved the Huangshang brand. Moreover, the Xue family has not married the Jia family for a long time... "
Although she was very sad that her daughter was about to become someone else's concubine, as the wife of the Xue family, Mrs. Xue Wang clearly knew that the Xue family was her real home, and the so-called Wang family was just a place where she grew up and could help, But we can't help on the premise of damaging the Xue family.
Now, in the entire Xue family, only his daughter is qualified to become the concubine of Jia Hui, the powerful commander-in-chief of the Left Army and the great general of Sima.
And according to the information we just heard, Jia Hui is also a person who will be responsible for his woman to the end, and will not change his heart, at least not easily.
It's really good. Moreover, Jia Hui's husband has also discussed with him the reason why Jia Hui helped the Xue family. Making money is secondary. After all, the caravans in the Western Regions made him extremely rich.
The most important thing is the status of the Xue family in the south. He needs a hole to tear the Jiangnan family apart, a nail buried deep in Jiangnan. If there is no in-law relationship as a guarantee, no matter how old relatives are, Jia Hui will not be able to truly succeed. Trust their Xue family.
"Sister and Xue's cousin have really made up their minds? Are they really going to let Baochai be Brother Hui's concubine?" Jia Min finally confirmed.
"...Yes, Baochai is able to marry the governor as a concubine. It is a blessing that she has cultivated for several lifetimes..." She said festive words, but Jia Min saw that Wang Xue's eyes were red, and finally she held back her tears. Went back.
"Sigh... well, let me help my sister this time. I will repair a letter for my family tomorrow and tell my elder brother and mother about it. But the most important thing is not what my family means, but what Brother Hui wants. !
But sister, please relax, my family will definitely agree. I will add another sentence to ask them to keep quiet for now, and then we can ask Brother Hui what he means. "
Jia Min also wants to understand the joints. It doesn't matter whether Brother Hui likes Xue Baochai or not. He will definitely accept her. Now he is just talking about some scenes to prevent Xue Wang from being so desperate and embarrassed.
"Then... thank you for your hard work, sister..." Her daughter was engaged. Mrs. Xue Wang didn't want to laugh but wanted to cry, but she could only accept the congratulations of the ladies around her with red eyes and a forced smile.
Jia Min saw this scene in her eyes and felt lucky more than once that she was born into a noble family. In her early years, she had the love of her grandfather and parents, the favor of her two brothers, and even had a wife after she got married. Her husband and eldest nephew protected her.
Reincarnation technology is really important.
. . . . . .
"Hahaha, Uncle Shi, my brother Pan is so strong. Why don't you let him practice martial arts with me?" Jia Hui said to Xue Qin as if he was drunk.
thump!
"You bastard, the Governor wants to promote you, but why don't you kneel down and thank me!"
Xue Qin put his foot on the back of Xue Pan's knee, and Xue Pan immediately knelt down on the ground. Then Xue Qin also knelt down, and pressed Xue Pan's head with his right hand, knocking it to the ground.
"Xue family, thank you for the promotion, Chief Governor!"
"Hahaha, okay, okay!" Jia Hui looked up to the sky and laughed. Now, he has conquered the Xue family. This nail that the four major families have nailed to Jiangnan officially belongs to him!
The officials on the side also hurriedly came over and said auspicious words to congratulate themselves on accepting a future warrior. Jia Hui was also humble.
Xue Qin is also very happy now.
The original plan was for his daughter Baochai to marry into the Dunhuang County Duke's mansion and become Jia Hui's concubine, and they would become related by marriage from then on.
But who could have imagined that the Chief Governor took the initiative to promote the Xue family. He actually took a fancy to his stupid son's physique and wanted him to go to the martial arts path.
Presumably, the wife in the back house has already reached an agreement with cousin Jia Min, right?
In this way, my Xue family's main house is about to undergo a complete transformation!
. . . . . .
Everyone drank until late at night, and when the group was about to break up, Jia Hui suddenly said something.
"The imperial court seems to have a new policy on salt tax. It wants to change the salt tax. It also said that it will provide some support...and it seems that it will crack down on some...but, who knows?"
The salt merchants who heard Jia Hui's words suddenly woke up and suddenly became drunk.
Then they broke up.
The lobby of the back house.
"Brother Hui, why is what you said today different from what we expected?" Lin Ruhai also looked sober.
They had rehearsed in the back house before. They had clearly arranged what to say and what not to say to whomever they met.
At first, everything went according to plan, people said what they said, and ghosts said what they said.
But when the salt merchant came on stage, things were suddenly disrupted by Jia Hui's words.
At this time, Jia Hui felt as if he had not drank, sitting soberly on the chair.
"Because I have been thinking about something, and I didn't understand it until the salt merchant arrived."
"Oh, what do you want to understand?" Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Hui.
"Brother Zhu, tell me, what is my identity?" Jia Hui looked at Jia Zhu, who was just slightly drunk.
"Identity? What identity? Brother, do you mean the Governor or the General?" Jia Zhu said, scratching his head.
"These are additional identities, guess again."
"This...is that the Duke?" Jia Zhu thought for a while and then guessed.
"A warrior! Your eldest brother, I am a warrior!" With a slap on his forehead, Jia Hui stood up and walked to Jia Zhu.
"A certain family is the best martial artist in the world!"
Jia Hui suddenly turned around and looked at Lin Ruhai who was thoughtful.
"I am a warrior, why should I use civil servant methods that I am completely unfamiliar with to deal with salt merchants?
I thought about it and realized that I already have all the power in the world! And why do you spend so much effort dealing with salt merchants? Jiangnan Daying and Jiangnan Family are my real goals!
So, I want to change the rhythm of things to what I am good at. As long as I catch the salt dealers in any irregularities, I will kill them all and ransack their homes! "
Jia Hui snorted coldly.
"But I am truly worthy of being a salt merchant. Whether it is rules or clothing, I am really impeccable, so I changed my routine again!"
"What's the trick?" Jia Zhu was already confused.
"Forcing them to jump over the wall! As long as they lose their minds and become so anxious that they want to take risks and make a desperate decision to assassinate a certain family, then that's what that family is best at!"
"You mean, counterinsurgency! Isn't this the government forcing the people to rebel?" Lin Ruhai said anxiously.
"No, no, no, how can you ask the officials to force the people to rebel? I have already told them in advance that the court will revise the tax system, and at the same time it will clean up a few companies and support a few more. This is called righteousness!"
"Divide and collapse!" Jia Zhu said suddenly.
"Yes, but it just needs time to ferment.
In two or three days, a certain family will leave for Jinling, so let them cause chaos first! "
Jia Hui walked out of the main hall and looked at the full moon in the sky.
"It's time for these salt merchants, who have been in peace for a long time, to see what it means to be the best warrior in the world!"
Two chapters presented! Six thousand six hundred words in total! I'm so sleepy, go to sleep!
