In Tingzhu Pavilion, the largest teahouse in the capital, Mei Lin and County Lord Jili sat around the table in a private room at the far end.
There are not many private rooms like this in Tingzhu Pavilion. Such private rooms not only have a beautiful environment, but they are also elegant and quiet.
In addition, this place is located in a lively area of the capital, with restaurants, brothels, and jewelry shops nearby. It is bustling with people, but when you come here, it is unusually clean.
An important reason is that such a private room has a minimum consumption, which is at least fifty taels of silver.
In addition, a pot of tea costs at least 20 taels of silver, and a stack of snacks costs 10 taels of silver. It is basically impossible to leave Tingzhu Pavilion without one or two hundred taels of silver.
This time, Mei Lin and Jili asked someone to tell the Lord Jili that they could help him get out of trouble.
As for the predicament, Meilin did not go into details, she just said it was the predicament at hand!
Qi Li's current dilemma is that he doesn't want to marry Liao Rong. Although she didn't believe that a concubine from the Huai'an Marquis Mansion could have such abilities, she was now urgently ill and sought medical treatment.
Then I thought again, although Mei Lin cannot enter the prince's palace for the time being, her net worth has been significantly different after being selected as the prince's concubine. In all likelihood, in order to compensate her, the royal family may, Also give her certain rewards, such as giving her the title of Lord of the County, Lord of the County, etc.
Or, arrange a nice marriage for her.
In short, with the mentality of treating a dead horse as a living horse, the head of Jili County agreed to meet Mei Lin.
Mei Lin saw the arrogant look on the face of the Lord of Qili County, and knew that she was like this by nature, and that she must be frightened and anxious inside now, so she just tried to stay calm in front of her.
So I didn’t go into too much detail and got straight to the point.
"Actually, the situation of the county owner is also easy to solve."
Qi Li looked at her coldly,
"What do you think."
Mei Lin poured herself a cup of tea and thought to herself, a cup of tea like this would probably cost more than five taels of silver, so drink some first and enjoy it a little!
Mei Lin smiled and said,
"As long as there is a more suitable person than the county lord to replace you and marry Liao Rong's regent, the power of the county lord will naturally be eliminated."
The Lord of Jili County snorted,
"You are making fun of me, right? If there is such a person, you are stupid for treating me as my father, queen, mother, concubine, and my brother? Don't you know how to find this person to marry me to Liao Rong?"
Mei Lin was not anxious or annoyed, and continued to drink tea.
"There is no one in front of me, that's because the county leader is the most suitable candidate. If with the efforts of the county leader, a person with slightly worse conditions than the county leader can surpass the county leader in one or several aspects, , Regent Liaorong might even retreat and do the next best thing when he has to, so wouldn’t the county owner be able to escape unscathed?"
Mei Lin's words were a bit confusing, and Qi Li didn't understand it for a while. She looked at Meilin doubtfully, and Meilin continued,
"Actually, the status of County Lord Jiaoli is similar to yours. Why was County Lord Jiaoli not selected? Has the County Lord ever thought about it?"
County Lord Qili thought to himself, yes, at that time, she was only focused on County Lord Yangxu. The mother-in-law said that she did not choose Yangxu because Yangxu was strong and scheming, and Regent Liaorong was afraid that he would not be able to control him. Therefore, I chose myself with a simple mind.
Now, after Jing Meilin said this, the head of Lili County thought, that Jiaoli is not that smart, so why not choose her?
Seeing that the Lord of Qili County was following her own train of thought, Mei Lin secretly breathed a sigh of relief and felt proud, so she continued,
"Although County Lord Jiaoli's father and brother are also relatives of the emperor and have a certain say in the court, they have no background in the military. But you, County Lord, are different. Apart from anything else, the County Lord's family and Li The Duke's family has a blood relationship, and this is actually what Regent Liaorong values."
When Qi Li heard the words, he blurted out,
"Since we are looking for a leader, wouldn't Duke Qin's daughter and my cousin Li Fanling be more suitable?"
Mei Lin lowered her head and smiled,
"The army of the Duke of Qin is mainly stationed in the south. It is thousands of miles away from Liao Rong, so it cannot help Liao Rong at all. But the Li Army is different. The Li Army is stationed adjacent to the border with Liao Rong. Once Bei Liao If we attack Liao Rong, if Liao Rong is related to us by marriage, the Li Jiajun will definitely not stand idly by. But if the Li Jiajun pretends not to know about the marriage with the Duke of Qin, or the rescue is slow and ineffective, then what can they do to the Li Jiajun? so……"
Meilin paused.
The Lord of Qili County couldn't wait to say,
"You mean, you mean the regent's target is Li Jiajun? Then why didn't he directly propose to the emperor to marry his cousin? Instead, he half-hiddenly said something about the county master and princess. As a result, Yangxu's father caught up with him He held his smelly feet and pushed me up!"
Mei Lin remained silent.
It was Yangxu and her father who were flattering her. It was clear that the Holy Emperor could not refute the regent's face, nor could he respond to the regent's requests.
Therefore, the prince of Long'an County pretended to propose it, and they "hit it off immediately".
Qi Li said anxiously,
"What exactly do you want to say?"
Meilin sighed,
"Actually, in the heart of the regent, Li Fanling is more suitable. But he has no way to propose it. If he proposes to marry Li Fanling, wouldn't his ambition be obvious? Our emperor will definitely refuse it, and there will be no turning back. Room! But if the county chief can bring the two of them together in some way, Regent Liaorong will see the county chief's talent and dare not have any inappropriate thoughts. At the same time, he will also be grateful to the county chief. The emperor will also feel sad in his heart. You’ll be relieved and won’t be able to say anything, right?”
Qi Li hesitated and said,
"But she is my cousin after all..."
The Lord of Jili County used to have no psychological burden for teasing others, but he was still very protective of his relatives.
Meilin smiled and shook her head.
"County Lord, those who make big things happen don't stick to trivial matters. Since we are close sisters, we should think about you! She, Li Fanling, should not let you go into dangerous places for her. The target of the Liaorong Regent is Li Jiajun, but Li Fanling takes advantage of you. Being a raft, how unfair is this to you? Shouldn’t the Li family’s affairs be resolved by the people of Duke Li’s Mansion themselves? How can you be allowed to act as a shield in front of you? How can you be so confident? In fact, in their hearts Erqing! You think even a little concubine like me, a little concubine of the Marquis of Huai'an, can understand it, how can they not understand it? "
These words made Qili feel depressed. She looked at Meilin suspiciously.
"You mean, my aunt, cousin, and eldest cousin are deliberately pretending to be confused and want me to go through this muddy water and ask me to marry Liao Rong for my cousin?"
Meilin was secretly happy. Sure enough, following her hint, Zuili came to this conclusion himself!
Ji Jun once told them a joke, saying that there was a chef who was deceived over and over again. Before, he would not sit on that chair despite saying anything, but later he took the initiative to sit on that chair.
Then, he begged the scammer to sell him this "chair" at a high price, no matter how much money he paid!
It seems that this kind of thing is true!
Ji Jun really didn’t lie to himself!
It will be easier next time.
Mei Lin nodded heavily and said,
"Of course it is. Otherwise, why do you think the county prince and the prince are so sad? As the county prince and the prince, if they fight to the death to the emperor, do you think the emperor can not give the county prince this face? That is Because, if you don't go, Li Fanling has to go. Between you and Li Fanling, the county prince values love and righteousness. Of course, he will not push his niece out and sacrifice his own daughter. The county prince understands the righteousness, But he fell into the Li family's trick, County Lord, can you bear to let the county prince be tricked by them?"
The Lord of Qili County looked at Mei Lin for a moment, thought for a moment, and said, I'll think about it, you go back first!
Meilin smiled and walked out of the room behind Fu Fu.
The Lord of Jili County looked at Mei Lin's back and suddenly thought, since the target is Li Jiajun, is Ji Min more suitable?
He couldn't do anything to frame his cousin, but at this critical moment, Qi Li was able to quickly find a reason for himself to push Ji Min out to get married.
Mei Lin walked out of Tingzhu Pavilion, feeling very proud. With the money in her pocket, she felt much lighter.
I originally planned to grit my teeth and spend money, but unexpectedly, that fool Zuili was fooled and lost money!
Green Plum Road,
"Miss, you never mentioned Miss Ji from the beginning to the end. Did you forget to mention it?"
Mei Lin smiled and said,
"I mean it, don't worry, the head of Jili County will take the initiative to lure Ji Min into the ditch."
Lu Mei is still a little worried,
"Could Lord Jili County be so stupid?"
Mei Lin looked disdainful;
"Otherwise? Who do you think she is? If she hadn't reincarnated and been the county boss at birth, she would have died eight hundred times! Now, in my eyes, she is just a monkey! I set up a pole here, and she will It will climb up in a hurry! Climb a little slower, it's all your miscalculation and mine!"
