Mei Hanlin made up his mind and smiled at his son Mei Wenhe and said: "Procrastinate if you can, and then wait for the situation to become clear. If Prince Zhongshun can really climb to the top of Dabao in the future, then we will break off an engagement!
If Prince Zhongshun also messes up, then we will not cancel the engagement.
As long as we cater to both sides and continue to survive in the cracks, it shouldn't be difficult. "
Mei Wenhe originally thought that Mei Hanlin had come up with some clever trick, but he never expected that it was still the same old trick.
However, Mei Wenhe really had no better way, so he could only nod his head blankly, flatter his father Mei Hanlin, and said with a smile: "Father Mingjue, just do what my father said!"
Unexpectedly, the Mei family father and son were chatting at home.
As soon as Prince Zhongshun's men left on the front foot, Jia Yun's men came over on the back foot.
The person who came was also an acquaintance. He was Jia Qiang, the upright great-great-grandson of Ningguo Mansion.
Yuan also came over to inquire about this matter.
Logically speaking, after Ningguo Mansion fell into decline, Jia Qiang should have been implicated and fell into the clouds.
Just because of Jia Yun's appreciation and promotion of Jia Qiang, Jia Qiang was able to have a certain climate and status.
Today Jia Qiang came to visit, but she came to ask what the Mei family wanted.
It turned out that Jia Qiang arrived later and saw the figure coming out of Prince Zhongshun's residence at the gate of Mei's house.
Jia Qiang just watched this matter from a distance and did not dare to disturb him.
However, due to the rift between the Yun Mansion and Prince Zhongshun's Mansion, although there is no conclusive evidence for the previous hatred, for the big shots, old and new hatreds, whether they are together or not, are just commonplace.
Jia Qiang deliberately delayed behind, but unexpectedly clashed with people from Prince Zhongshun's palace.
The same servant from the Mei Mansion who passed the news before came over again: "Master, people from the Yun Mansion are here!"
Mei Hanlin frowned deeply, feeling extremely unhappy and happy in his heart.
A tiger left on the front foot, and a wolf came on the back foot.
A tiger in front and a wolf in the back, are you going to make life easier for others?
Mei Hanlin looked at the boy and sighed sadly: "Oh, is it because God wants to destroy my Mei Mansion?"
After sighing, he looked at the servant in the mansion with cold eyes and said, "Please, please, ask him to come in and talk."
After that, the boy hurried outside to welcome Jia Qiang into the mansion.
Mei Hanlin looked at Jia Qiang and said with a smile: "I don't know, what does Master Yun mean? Could it be that you are also here for the marriage?"
Jia Qiang smiled and didn't sit too much. She just conveyed Jia Yun's words: "Brother Yun sent me to pass a message to Master Mei. Chao Qin Mu and Chu are not the actions of wise men. If Master Mei still plans to fight with snakes and mice, Then I’m afraid it won’t be that easy.”
Mei Hanlin was a sensible person and immediately heard the threat in Jia Yun's words. He immediately slammed the table and shouted angrily: "Asshole! I have been in the officialdom for many years and am one of the most distinguished people in the world. He, a junior, is only temporary now." After gaining power, he is so arrogant and arrogant. Could it be that he still plans to attack me?"
Seeing Mei Hanlin getting angry, Jia Qiang was not afraid and smiled calmly: "I saw that people from Prince Zhongshun's residence also came over."
After that, Jia Qiang stood up and left without saying more. .
Mei Hanlin rubbed his forehead, looked deeply at Jia Qiang who was leaving, and snorted coldly: "A fox is pretending to be a tiger, who is he, and he deserves to be so wild and unrestrained in front of me?
However, it was just temporary gain. People like this throughout the ages died without knowing how. "
Neither Zhao Gao nor He Shen can be arrogant for a lifetime.
After all, a minister is a minister, and a minister is not a king.
Even Shang Yang would not be able to escape death after Qin Xiaogong died.
In Mei Hanlin's view, unless Jia Yun plans to rebel, she will definitely die in the future.
Therefore, Mei Hanlin is not optimistic about Jia Yun's future at all.
He is an honest official, does not engage in corruption or bribery, and cherishes his feathers. He is a member of a distinguished family.
Clear stream.
This gave Mei Hanlin great confidence. As long as he made no mistakes, he would be invulnerable. Even if he offended Jia Yun, what could Jia Yun do to him?
At this moment, Mei Hanlin had made up his mind to fight Jia Yun to the end and never give in.
Immediately, Mei Hanlin shouted to the servant in the mansion: "Prepare the sedan chair!"
Mei Wenhe stood up at this time and asked: "Father, where are you going?"
Mei Hanlin sneered: "Prince Zhongshun's Mansion."
After that, Mei Hanlin left Mei Mansion and went to Prince Zhongshun Mansion to express his attitude.
And after Jia Qiang returned to Yun Mansion, she truthfully reported what she saw today to Jia Yun.
Jia Yun groaned: "It seems that Mei Hanlin is going to defect to Prince Zhongshun and become our enemy.
Previously, during the An Ming case, he followed a group of elites to impeach me.
It's time to settle this account. "
As he was speaking, Jia Qiang also nodded with deep understanding: "But, Brother Yun, Mei Hanlin is not corrupt and does not take bribes. He is an upright official. How can we bring him down?"
Jia Yun smiled, took a sip of tea, and then said with a smile: "Although he is an upright official, he is not really impeccable.
There are no impeccable people in this world.
As long as you seize his weakness and take advantage of his weaknesses, he will naturally destroy himself.
Forget it, it's time to take Mei Hanlin's knife and let those things without eyes see who is the real winner. "
The next moment, Jia Yun ordered Jia Qiang: "Go and call Ni Er, we still need his help in this matter."
Not long after, Jia Qiang hurriedly called Ni Er to come to the house to talk.
Xiang Ling walked over from the side, looked at Jia Yun with a smile, and said, "Husband, the wedding clothes decided by the marriage are all ready. The sisters are all satisfied and called me to tell my husband to come and have a look."
When Jia Yun heard this, all the anger in her heart disappeared. She stood up and hugged Xiang Ling's slim waist, full of contentment.
He looked at Xiang Ling and smiled: "Then let's go over and look at the wedding clothes!"
After that, the two went to the inner house at the back intimately.
The other maids in Yun Mansion didn't dare to say anything when they saw this, they just smiled at Xiang Ling secretly.
At this moment, in the wedding room of the back house, everyone was waiting for Jia Yun's arrival.
Qin Keqing, Lin Daiyu, and Xue Baochai all came over.
They were sitting in the house. When they saw Jia Yun coming, they hurriedly stood up to greet him: "Husband, you are here. Look, what is this house like? Might it catch your eye?"
Jia Yunxiao looked at Lin Daiyu, walked over and held Lin Daiyu's hand, saying, "Madam, did you arrange this all?"
"Yes and no, I just made suggestions from the side, and the sisters all helped, so it can't be attributed to me alone."
As she spoke, Lin Daiyu blinked at Xue Baochai and Qin Keqing, indicating that she had not forgotten the help of her sisters.
