Yangzhou North City, Feng Family.

Today is the 70th birthday of the old lady of the Mei family. Although the Mei family is not among the eight major salt merchants in Yangzhou, it is the largest salt merchant in Yangzhou, not Hui merchants.

In addition, the Mei family sent their daughter to the salt courtyard as a concubine, and Lin Ruhai's wife died early. Although there were two or three concubines in the room, the Mei family was the butler.

Therefore, all ethnic groups in Yangzhou have to give the Mei family a little bit of thin air.

As a local prominent family, the Feng family will not miss the birthday of the old lady of the Mei family.

Early in the morning, the head of the family Feng Jian changed his clothes and asked someone to prepare a gift and prepare to go to the plum garden.

The prosperity of the Mei family is not only because of competing for the locals in Yangzhou to gain some face among salt merchants, but more importantly, Mr. Fu Weng, a master of calligraphy all over the world.

When Mr. Fu Weng was alive, the Emperor summoned him several times on the southern tour and highly praised his Mei's calligraphy, praising him: Mr. Fu Weng's calligraphy is very different in nature.Its noble and roundness is popular among Chu Mo, and it is beyond the reach of all scholars.If you are unintentionally, your spirit will be unique, like a breeze blowing and a slight cloud rolling, which will be quite natural.

Mr. Fu Weng has become the most famous master in Yangzhou for the past two hundred years.

The eight major salt merchants in Yangzhou are rich, but they are all proud of having the writing of Mr. Fu Weng.

This also made the Mei family feel a little more noble.

Feng Jian was about to bring his two young and gentle sons to Meiyuan to celebrate his birthday, but when he saw the eldest son Feng Cheng look ecstatic, he came hurriedly with his adopted son Feng Ke.

Although Feng Jian ignored the common affairs, he paid attention to the Confucian way of cultivating energy. He frowned and scolded: How can he be in a panic?

Feng Cheng hurriedly bowed to apologize, then looked up and said excitedly: Master, Jiangning's uncle sent someone to send an urgent letter, saying that the new governor of Liangjiang has already arrived...

Feng Jian was inexplicably informed when he heard this, and said: The new governor has come, what does it have to do with you?

Feng Cheng lags behind and immediately said: It's not this. The key is that the emperor wants to depose the Salt Courtyard and the responsibility of inspecting the salt will be led by the Liangjiang Governor's Office.From now on, there will be no more Yanyuan yamen in Yangzhou Prefecture!!

Feng Cheng is now a soldier in Yangzhou Prefecture, and is in charge of military affairs, civilians, military examinations, public security and other matters.

If Yangzhou Prefecture loses the high-ranking Salt Courtyard, Yangzhou Prefecture will be the highest authority.

In this way, the Feng family will definitely have a rise in popularity and its momentum will be different!

Feng Ke was even more excited than him and said excitedly: A relative of the Censor of the Salt Court dared to pretend to be big in Yangzhou Prefecture!Let me take a look at how they will pretend to be big from now on!Thanks to not listening to that shitty Lord Lin last night, otherwise...

The residence!

Feng Jian yelled: "A bastard, Lord Lin is the third-rank censor of the current dynasty. Can you talk about it?"

Feng Ke immediately became honest, and Feng Jian said to Feng Cheng again: Even if this is the case, don’t be proud.My Feng family can last for decades in Yangzhou. What is the basis for watching how many rich salt merchants and families of rich people?Is it a high or low?

Feng Cheng calmed down and bowed and said: My father taught me the lesson that our Feng family is to do good to others. If we can avoid making evil with others, we will not make evil with others.My father also said that although salt profit is heavy, it will cause more disasters if it is heavy.Therefore, although the Feng family is a prominent family in Yangzhou, they cannot touch the salt and profit.

Having said that, Feng Cheng's eyes still couldn't hide his disappointment.

If Feng Cheng was not jealous of the local giant house like the Feng family, watching a group of Hui merchants calling for the wind and rain in Yangzhou, spending money like soil, and having a wealth of wealth to an unimaginable extent. How could Feng Cheng not be jealous?

Feng Jian said earnestly: The benefits of ice are already rich enough. What's the use of asking for so much money?If you only seek extravagance and guarantee it to your father, it will definitely be a way to cause disaster!!How many salt merchants have died in the past decade!

Feng Cheng paused and said softly: Father, the salt merchants who died in the past few years all died at the hands of the Salt Courtyard.But now the Salt Courtyard is about to be banned and the highest supervisory power is transferred back to Jinling, so Yangzhou Prefecture will take on the responsibilities of supervising salt merchants. By then, the military will be directly responsible for the arrest of salt diced salt for private salt.As a soldier in the government office, my son is in charge of this area... My father, the right time, place and people are all in my Feng family.God does not take it, but he will suffer the consequences!

Feng Jian was impatient in housework. After thinking about it, he felt that it seemed reasonable, but he would not waver easily. He waved his hand and said: I will discuss this matter later. Now go to Meiyuan first.

After Feng Jian got on the carriage first, his youngest son Feng Zuo whispered to Feng Cheng: Brother, from now on, my Feng family will become more prestigious in the future?

Feng Cheng nodded to this incompetent concubine brother, and taught him a lesson: You must not lose the dignity of my Feng family outside.

Feng Zuo smiled, his eyebrows and eyes were full of jumping, and he patted his chest and promised: Brother, don’t worry, I will never lose the face of our Feng family!

……

West of Yangzhou City, plum garden.

Today should have been the happy day of the Mei family.

On the 70th birthday of the old lady, it was also reported from the Salt Courtyard that Lin Ruhai had survived the death disaster.

You should know that although the Mei family girl only works as a concubine in the salt courtyard, among Lin Ruhai’s three concubines, Aunt Mei is the most favored and even helps Lin Ruhai to take care of all the affairs of the inner house.

Lin Ruhai's wife died early and never reunited. Aunt Mei is equivalent to the mistress of the Salt Courtyard.

How could the Mei family not benefit from it?

However, it was the day when the two happiness came, but unexpectedly it was covered with a different atmosphere...

Have you heard that the new Governor of Liangjiang arrived in Jinling three or four days ago and has been visiting privately on a private basis.

Yo!Have you heard of it too?Then you heard that the salt courtyard of our Yangzhou Prefecture will be abolished and they will all be under the jurisdiction of the Liangjiang Governor’s Office?

True or fake?

Is this fake?It takes only one day to take a boat from Jinling to Yangzhou. If you ride a fast horse, you will arrive in half a day.Yesterday afternoon, Han Bin, the new Governor of Liangjiang, asked for a seal of imperial edicts. Accompanied by the governor, governor and censor, he presided over the position of the Governor of Liangjiang and passed on the emperor's will.Well-informed, I received a letter before dawn today!

Ouch!So what should we do if the salt courtyard in Yangzhou Prefecture?

Are you stuffed with donkey hair in your ears?Didn’t you hear me just now that the Salt Courtyard is about to be cut off!

Oh, if this is the case, the sky in Yangzhou Prefecture will change.This Mei family... is afraid it's not as good as before?

Who knows this?No matter what, can you still live a good life today, right?The Salt Courtyard is still there, and the person surnamed Lin is not dead, just look at the future.There is another interesting thing. I heard that a Feng family fake boy met the Lin family from the Salt Courtyard yesterday. Yesterday, the head of the Feng family personally booked a room in Tianhai Pavilion to apologize. Hey, if the Yanyuan Courtyard is really going to be abolished, the Feng family will be developed, and I wonder if his family will find the place back.

Even if the Salt Courtyard is to be lifted, Lord Lin will probably have to go back to the capital to go to Gaosheng, and the Feng family will find something nonsense.

You don’t admit that you are stupid, the Lin family is leaving, but can the Mei family leave?Previously, the Mei family relied on the Salt Courtyard and firmly sat in the first place in the local wealthy family in Yangzhou Prefecture, the Feng family was second, and the Xu family was third.What's going on?Look, there are many good shows!

The disciples from Yangzhou who came to give gifts and bookmaking gathered outside the plum garden, showing off the news that had begun to spread.

And the Mei family's inner house also caused a turmoil due to these messy rumors.

In Mei Qing Hall, Mei Xun, the head of the Mei family, looked solemn. How could he not think of the things that the followers outside could think of?

There is more than one Feng family who is worried about.

No matter how great the Feng family is, it is just a successor in the six rooms in the Yangzhou Prefecture Office. The Mei family has its own meritorious people. Moreover, the Mei family even had a Hanlin family in the capital. How could the Feng family move down?

It doesn’t matter if there is only one Feng family, but I don’t know how many people in Yangzhou have to wait for Lin Ruhai to fall and then stomp them!

Over the past decade, Lin Ruhai has been ruthlessly attacking the salt merchants who smuggled and private salt. Many salt merchants have fallen into his hands, and the whole family has been affected.

These salt merchants are not isolated, and how many old friends are involved in their relatives?

Lin Ruhai's youngest son who died young back then was gone by accident?

If he had not endorsed the pain of losing his son, how could his first wife worry about dying from illness?

If Lin Ruhai really dies, that's fine.

He first lost his son, then lost his wife, and finally he died himself, leaving only an orphan girl, which is also considered a descendant of Juezong, so he can barely explain it to others.

After those enemies vented their anger and relieved their hatred, they would not chase the Mei family again. After all, the Mei family was not easy to meet.

Or if he can continue to be the censor of the Salt Court after he comes back to life, then no one else dares to commit suicide.

The most difficult thing is that this situation is now. Although I have survived, I have to leave my post and get promoted and make money.

How can this help the hatred in the hearts of the enemies?

The salt merchants may not be afraid even if Lin Ruhai, who is not directly in charge of salt administration, can be promoted to become a cabinet minister in the future.

There are more than one cabinet minister in great Yàn. Are there still few cabinet ministers who are respected by them?

Someone can check and balance him...

But in this situation, their salt merchants had no choice but to take Lin Ruhai's helplessness and would not let out a sigh of anger.

Who else can they take their anger on?

Hateful Ah!

The Mei family is not Lin Ruhai's serious in-laws. After Mr. Fu Weng of the Mei family passed away, Lin Ruhai almost never entered the Mei family's gate again.

He didn't get much good things, and he was going to share the anger of other families for him.

Mei Xun, brothers Mei Zhu, Mei Jiu, Zi Mei Gu, and other current leaders of the Mei family gathered together to discuss countermeasures urgently.

Brother, you can’t hesitate anymore. If you want to break it, then break it. Otherwise, when Lin Ruhai pats his butt and leaves, the Mei family will be in trouble!

It's Brother Ah, the second brother is right. Over the years, it has been said that the Mei family has become the number one rural destination in Yangzhou Prefecture after the glory of the Salt Courtyard. But we know our own affairs. After his father passed away, he never visited our Mei family again. What kind of relative can he be considered a relative?People don’t recognize us at all, why should we take the blame for him?

The father and son also thought that what the second and third uncles said were reasonable.After the news came from Jinling before dawn, four of the eight major salt merchants who originally said that they would be present today did not come, but only gave gifts, and even the gifts were not short of 30% in previous years!The momentum is not good, so our family should make a statement as soon as possible!

After hearing what his brother and son said, Mei Xun frowned and said slowly: But, Lord Lin, after all, he hasn't left yet...

As soon as this was said, the two brothers and one son said in unison: It will be too late to wait for him to leave!

Upon hearing this, Mei Xun glanced over the three of them with a serious look and asked: In your opinion, how should we distinguish between them?

The second brother Mei Zhu said in a deep voice: You can’t do anything but show your attitude to the outside world.Isn’t today the old lady’s birthday?Qing Luo sent someone to deliver a letter yesterday, saying that Lin Ruhai would send his registered disciple, who was also from the Jia family in the capital to celebrate his birthday, so we can just treat him coldly.As long as outsiders see, the Mei family and the Lin family are not the same, they naturally have no reason to take their anger at the Mei family!
