The most popular thing in the market is what happened recently, when people from the Xue family in Jinling caused a farce in the Mei Hanlin family.
I heard, I just heard...
Mei Hanlin was in poverty when he was young, and his life was very difficult. It was very difficult to even fill his stomach, let alone think about the imperial examination.
It was a certain master of the Xue family in Jinling who helped him and gave him some money so that he could concentrate on the imperial examination. This is how Mei Hanlin became famous.
Mei Hanlin was also a ruthless person. When he was down and out and accepted the financial aid, he made an arrangement with the good man of the Xue family to arrange the in-laws for his children. Only then was he able to receive a steady stream of monetary support. It can be said that he became successful by selling his son.
It turned out that this guy was really talented in the imperial examination. He passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi in one go. He also entered the Hanlin Academy and became the Imperial Academy of the Qing Dynasty.
After becoming an official, Mei Hanlin suddenly turned against others...
On the pretext that the Xue family's daughter is still young, she has been delaying the marriage that she had agreed upon long ago.
As a result, Mei Hanlin succeeded in delaying the good man surnamed Xue until he fell ill and died, and then directly refused to admit that there was any marriage.
Now, Mei Hanlin is getting married again to his colleague because his son has been married before, which is extremely shameless.
Just a few days ago, a young man from the Xue family in Jinling went directly to Mei Hanlin's house with a group of followers, wanting to discuss the previous marriage.
As a result, Mei Hanlin categorically opposed the marriage, severely scolded the Xue family for being rude, and asked the other party to leave the Mei family quickly.
This time, the young master of the Xue family was annoyed...
He didn't make too much trouble at Mei's house. Instead, he asked his followers to get several buckets of feces and dump them directly at the door of Mei Hanlin's house. Suddenly, the entire Hanlin Street smelled bad.
As soon as this incident came out, it immediately caused a sensation in the entire capital!
The people in the capital rushed to Hanlin Street. Sure enough, they smelled an unusual smell and immediately laughed and laughed.
When have they ever seen the Hanlin gentlemen from Hanlin Street suffer such humiliation? It was as if someone stepped on their necks and pooped and peed.
It is a pity that the young master of the Xue family in Jinling is not stingy and does not care about the opinions of outsiders. He just keeps talking about the grievances of the Xue family and Mei Hanlin's "wolf-hearted".
The incident got so big that Mei Hanlin was so angry that he even invited officials from Shuntian Prefecture to handle the matter.
The officials of Shuntian Prefecture did not dare to neglect, and hurried over to take a look. It turned out that the troublemaker turned out to be Uncle Xue!
When he heard the reason, he immediately gave up the idea of intervening and just found an excuse to slip away.
Damn, this nerd like Mei Hanlin doesn't know how powerful Uncle Xue is, but they, the officials of Shuntian Prefecture, know very well and can't afford to offend him.
Besides, the things Mei Hanlin did can really be described as "wolf-hearted" and "ungrateful". It's not much worse than Chen Shimei in Bao Gong's case. It's really not likable.
I don’t know how it happened, but this matter spread throughout the capital in just a few days, and suddenly became the hottest topic.
At this time, even the colleagues in the Hanlin Academy did not dare to have too much contact with Mei Hanlin, lest they cause embarrassment.
Heard, still heard...
Mei Hanlin was so angry that he almost vomited blood. The colleague who was married to his son before broke off the engagement and even became his enemy.
In addition, Mei Hanlin's reputation suffered a devastating blow and he basically could no longer stay in the Hanlin Academy or even in the capital.
It was at this moment that the young master of the Xue family in Jinling dealt him the most violent blow.
Under the watchful eyes of countless officials and citizens of the capital, the son of the Xue family swaggered to the door of Mei Hanlin's house. Without knocking, he took out a letter of regret, indicating that the daughter of the Xue family had directly severed the marriage relationship with the Mei family, and the two families were strangers from now on.
After making a loud announcement, he directly posted the marriage regret letter on the door of Mei's house, then walked away with a swagger.
The whole capital was once again in shock...
The reputation of the Xue family in Jinling was unparalleled for a time. Mei Hanlin was completely nailed to the pillar of shame and had difficulty getting out. The ending waiting for him will definitely not be too wonderful.
After making a fuss outside for a while, Xue Pan returned home, facing his cousin who was crying all day long and had a headache.
"I said cousin, there is no need to be like this, you should be happy!"
He didn't know how to coax girls, so he said earnestly: "Do you know what old guy Mei Hanlin planned when I came to your door this time?"
Seeing the crying Lihua Daiyu's cousin looked up, Xue Pan suddenly became interested, and said angrily with a cold eyebrow: "This old bastard actually wants to marry you first, and then find a way to make you suddenly die of illness. Such a
Come to Mei's house and you can get rid of the burden of our Xue family!"
As soon as these words came out, not only the person involved, Xue Baoqin, turned pale with fright, but also Xue Baochai, who was comforting him, was stunned.
"Brother, that won't be the case, right?"
At this time, Xue Baochai was already married, and the person she married was also an outstanding student of the Jia clan. Now her husband was an official of the eighth rank, and his future was quite good.
"Why not?"
Xue Pan sneered: "Have you never heard that my sister is the most poisonous person but a scholar?"
After saying that, he said to the stunned Xue Baoqin: "Cousin, so you are lucky this time. I just happened to come to find out the situation. Otherwise, you would really be at your mercy!"
"Brother, don't scare your cousin!"
Xue Baochai glared at his brother angrily: Can you speak?
"Thanks for your help, cousin!"
Xue Baoqin obviously knew what was going on, and even though he was extremely sad, he still had to work hard to say thank you.
Although this time, she has become a laughing stock among the officials and people in the capital, but her life is not a problem no matter what. If she marries into the Mei family...
Thinking about it makes me shudder.
"We are all relatives, no need to be polite!"
Xue Pan waved his hand and said carelessly: "Mei Hanlin will have to shed his skin this time even if he doesn't die. Don't expect that boy from his family to have any future in the future!"
Speaking of this, Leng Ran said: "If the boss hadn't allowed me to be cruel, I really wish that their whole family would be destroyed!"
"Brother, please don't mess around!"
Xue Baochai was really depressed and hurriedly persuaded: "Mei Hanlin values fame the most. At this time, his reputation is completely ruined, which is almost like killing him!"
Xue Pan nodded in approval and said with a smile: "Sister, don't worry, brother, I know it well, I won't beat myself up just because of a dirty villain like Mei Hanlin, it's really not worth it!"
No matter how you put it, you have followed Jia Cong all over the world and gained broad knowledge.
Not talking about what he did in Xishan, nor the water-generating fire in the south of the Yangtze River, just talking about the military strength in southern Xinjiang made Xue Pan much more mature and steady.
Otherwise, it won't be Xue Pan's turn to make a big fuss about Mei Hanlin's family this time. Wouldn't Xue Pan, the brother of the person involved, be a better choice?
It's just that Xue Pan has a "notorious name" outside, so his presence will be more intimidating. At least some forces on the surface will not take action easily.
“Brother, it’s better to do less of this kind of thing in the future!”
Xue Baochai didn't know what he was thinking, so he suddenly persuaded him: "Even if brother wants to do things for brother Cong, he should still do business!"
"I know, I know, I still need you to teach me!"
Xue Pan said cheerfully: "The boss naturally has his own rules when it comes to things, so we don't need to discuss them here!"
There was something strange in his heart. He felt that his sister's thoughts had changed after she got married. He was too lazy to pay more attention, but he would not be easily persuaded.
Xue Baochai sighed and said nothing more...
In fact, her ambition is not small. If she wants to help her husband become a high-ranking official, she must at least step into the ranks of a third-rank official.
Obviously, if you hang around in Jia Cong's small circle, you can't be a leader, and you can't concentrate all your resources to promote yourself. It's not easy to achieve your goals.
Both Xue Baochai and her married husband were keenly aware of this and wanted to break away from the constraints of this small circle, or they no longer wanted to obey Jia Cong's orders.
Xue Baochai and her husband are very realistic. No matter how capable Jia Cong is, he is inherently inferior to others if he is not an official. Why can he be the leader of their group of officials? Even Liu Xianglian and his wife would be more convinced.
In short, it is difficult to realize my ambition in my heart, so I want to get out of the small circle.
only……
The officialdom is too dangerous. If you are not careful, you may be in catastrophe. If you don't have a solid backing, you can easily lose everyone.
Xue Baochai really wanted to ask her brother Xue Pan to become her husband's arm completely, instead of spending a lot of resources of the Xue family, especially money resources, on Jia Cong.
Xue Pan may or may not know these things. It is obvious that he has no intention of breaking away from Jia Cong. He still sees some things relatively accurately.
As they grew older and each had their own families, their original thoughts changed. It was hard to say whether it was good or bad, but now Xue Pan was quite unhappy about it.
Only when you have real contact with Jia Cong for a long time can you know how powerful he really is.
Although Jia Cong is not an official, he may have access to resources that ordinary prefects cannot match, and he can easily promote the promotion and transfer of a prefect-level official.
In addition, Jia Cong has a very good relationship with the Prince of Chu, and is vaguely appreciated by the senior officials of the Xungui Group. There are some things that even Xue Pan, a confidant, cannot understand.
But he knew one thing, there was absolutely nothing wrong with holding Jia Cong's thigh tightly!
Facts have proved that Xue Pan's choice was not wrong. Since he followed Jia Cong, he has suffered almost nothing.
The most dangerous time was when he was detained by a gang of fake mountain bandits in Ping'an Prefecture in Xishan, but wasn't he quickly released by the boss Jia Cong?
Without Jia Cong as the boss, how could the Xue family be so familiar with the Crown Prince of Chu and hang out in front of a frontier official like Lin Ruhai?
Various thoughts flashed through his mind, but Xue Pan ignored them and quickly changed the subject, saying that they wanted to celebrate the 80th birthday of the old lady of Rong Mansion this time...
