Chapter 809 Uncle Lin is really a reincarnated Bodhisattva
The marriage between Xue Baoqin and Mei Jiaerlang was arranged when the Xue family's father was still alive, that is, when Xue Pan's second uncle was not dead yet.
Ever since Xue Baoqin's father passed away, the Mei family has been going back and forth. Because of this, Mrs. Xue thought that letting her daughter go to Beijing first to hang out with a few prominent relatives would give the Mei family more worries.
But Xue Baoqin returned to Xue Mansion on Zijin Street and arrived at the small courtyard where his brother and sister lived. Because he walked quietly, no one noticed that the girl was back. Baoqin was about to look for his brother Xue Biao when he saw a man sitting alone on the porch.
Lu looked ferocious, and suddenly sighed, not knowing who he was talking to.
It was his elder brother Xue Biao.
Xue Baoqin hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and joked: "My brother is sighing alone here. Could it be that he is feeling sleepy in spring and thinking about autumn?"
Xue Biao was suddenly startled. When he turned around and saw his sister in front of him, he immediately returned to normal and said, "When my sister came back, I didn't even tell you."
Xue Baoqin took the opportunity to sit on the railing, looked at his brother with big watery eyes, and asked: "I'm just going home. What do you want to communicate? It's just what my brother is thinking."
She paused, and without waiting for her brother to speak, she stretched out her green-white fingers and said with a smile: "My brother has taken on the family business early. He knows how to advance and retreat, and he is determined. He will never worry about business matters and make him so helpless."
Yes, I’m afraid it’s only my younger sister’s problem. Could it be the Mei family’s problem?”
"Little sister...you..."
Xue Biao was slightly startled, and couldn't help but open his mouth and said: "Since you know everything, I will tell you. Yesterday evening, I suddenly got the news that Mei Shibo has been ordered to be released, and he will leave Beijing to take up his post in the near future."
"I knew..."
Xue Baoqin said quietly: "So, they didn't take the initiative to notify us at all?"
It seems that my sister already knows the news.
Unexpectedly, the information in Rongguo Mansion was quite well-informed.
But think about it, it has spread all over the street, how could Rongguo Mansion not know?
This thought flashed through Xue Biao's mind, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "So far, not even a bit of news has been revealed. On the contrary, everyone else knows that he will leave Beijing soon."
Xue Baoqin snorted coldly, his eyes full of anger.
Naturally, she had to act weak in front of the princess, but she couldn't be that weak in front of her brother, who was the mainstay.
Because she and her brother depend on each other.
I don’t want my brother to be too sad for me.
It's just that the Mei family's behavior is really disgusting and disgusting.
She sighed and said: "At that time, when dad was here, we were all decent with the Supreme Emperor. The Mei family naturally valued us. Now that dad has passed away, we have no dignity in the royal family. Naturally, they don't value us. This
Is there anything strange about the consistent behavior of people in the world who praise those who are superior and those who are inferior?"
Xue Biao couldn't help but smile bitterly again when his sister pointed out the key. He stopped after a while and resolutely said: "I'm going to see Mei Shibo off, so I can ask him clearly. Although our father is no longer here, our family
But I won’t rush to let others do anything wrong to me!”
Bao Qin sighed, although there was some helplessness in his eyes, but there were no tears at all, he just said: "The Mei family is a family of officials, we are just merchants, and they naturally look down on us because of the unequal status.
If the powerful people in my aunt's family marry me unwillingly, they will definitely dislike me in every possible way. If I am harshly criticized and treated badly, and my status is already determined, I will have nowhere to go even if I suffer, so I will have to endure it.
It’s called a life of hopelessness.”
"It's better to call it quits now. After all, there are many people who have called it quits because of incompatible horoscopes, and I'm not the least of them. To the outside world, let's just say that when we first got engaged, we were young and only exchanged invitations without asking our names. Now it's been two years.
I was about to get married, so I thought about going through the six rites, but when I asked about my name, I found out that the incompatibility was a serious disaster. For the sake of the good of both families, we decided to break off the engagement. In this way, although I have been affected a little, for us
After all, the family’s reputation isn’t too much of a concern.”
Xue Biao was slightly shocked when he heard this.
When my sister said these words, it seemed that she had been thinking about this matter for a long time.
It’s a pity that I still look forward and backward.
With a sister like this, what more can a brother ask for?
While Xue Biao was sighing, suddenly a servant announced: "The eldest son of the Mei family came to visit with a steward, and his attitude was very humble."
Did the Mei family send someone here?
Xue Biao and Bao Qin looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
However, Xue Biao reacted quickly after all, and immediately raised his voice: "Ask him to wait in the living room."
When Xue Biao walked into the living room, he saw the eldest son of the Mei family kneeling down on the ground with a bang, kowtowing repeatedly, and his forehead hit the floor with a loud "bang bang" sound.
"Brother Mei, what are you doing?" Xue Biao was shocked and quickly stepped forward to help him up.
"My Mei family is rude first. My father said that I must kowtow to you. Only then will my Mei family feel at ease."
"You and I are family friends, how can you be rude? Brother Mei is really polite." Xue Biao said.
"No, no, no, it's my Mei family who was the first to be rude."
The eldest son of the Mei family paused and said with an apologetic look: "When my second brother and your sister got engaged, they were young and only exchanged invitations without asking their names. Now that they are older, they
After thinking about going through the six rites, who would have thought that after asking for names, I found out that the incompatibility of the horoscopes is a serious evil, especially for my second brother. If he marries Miss Xue, he will definitely be a slave to his wife, and if he is older, he will be a slave to his father and his son.
Such a serious disaster forced the Mei family to divorce themselves."
After saying that, the eldest son of the Mei family waved, and the steward immediately sent a gift box.
"Inside this box is a little money, plus two or three shops. It's not worth much, but it's something my family loves. In addition, we will arrange a concert for three opera troupes in Wangjiang Tower to publicize this matter to everyone. It will definitely
I won’t let Miss Xue’s reputation suffer any loss.”
"What?"
Even though Xue Biao's city was quite deep, he couldn't help but be stunned.
In his eyes, although the head of the Mei family is just a member of the Hanlin family, he has connections all over the capital and can be spread out wherever he wants. This is not something that a mere Xue family can fight against.
After Xue Biao sent the Mei family away, he opened the box and was stunned again.
There are thirty thousand taels of silver notes in the box!
In addition, there are property rights deeds for three shops on busy streets in Beijing, and the procedures are complete.
The other thing is to get invitations from several theaters. The lists above are arranged in great detail. At a glance, you can see that the Mei family has put a lot of effort into arranging the programs, all of which harm the reputation of the Mei family and promote the Xue family.
Sure enough, Xue Baoqin's reputation was not damaged at all.
Even with the Rongguo Mansion behind them, the Jia family would not break up with the Mei family over this trivial matter.
And it can cause the Mei family to bleed like this.
Could there be someone noble to help?
"Princess Lin must have asked his brother to do it. He must have held the Mei family's hand and made his family obey." After hearing what his brother said, Xue Baoqin said firmly, and related the conversation with Lin Daiyu a few days ago and
My brother said it again.
Xue Biao sighed: "It turns out that it's the eldest sister's husband, Uncle Zhongqin, Lin Dutang, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, who is helping me! If he takes action, no wonder the Mei family is so subdued. For such a great favor, my brother and sister should see Lin Dutang in person.
Kowtow to him."
But I thought in my heart: "In the future, I must tell my sister not to go to Rongguo Mansion, and to interact more with eldest sister, Princess Lin. Maybe in the future, I will have to ask the Lin family to tell my sister that we are getting married!"
"But no matter what, Uncle Lin is truly the reincarnated Bodhisattva! If given the chance, I, Xue Biao, will go through fire and water without hesitation."
