"Brother Keng, my sister knows that the martial arts community is so large that among those who serve the country, there will inevitably be some black sheep among them. The concubine also said that the court should punish the black sheep, but after all, the mainstream of the martial arts community is still loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and for The great Zhou Dynasty made great contributions. Brother Keng, your uncle, and your father-in-law all guarded the border for the country for decades. These courts all saw it. Therefore, these situations must be distinguished and it is not appropriate to generalize. Or just crucify any family or group directly..."
As soon as Yuanchun's words came out, Feng Ziying, Mrs. Jia Zhengwang and even Jia Baoyu were all impressed.
The people trained in this palace are indeed different. Their positions, angles and heights seem to have a sense of overall situation. It is a pity that it is the Renshou Palace and not the Qianqing Palace.
"Eldest sister is right. The Wuxun family as a whole also serves the imperial court. Those black sheep cannot represent the Wuxun community. I believe that the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Long Jinwei will come up with a clear and accurate conclusion about this." Feng Ziying responded with ease.
Yuan Chun frowned slightly. This elder of the Feng family was also difficult to deal with. He couldn't speak in such a situation. He didn't know if he understood his purpose?
"Brother Keng, this matter is of great importance, and families like the Shi family and the Ma family have a big business and have worked hard for the court for so many years. There are too many people in Lin Lin, so it is inevitable that there will be some people with treacherous thoughts and intentions to make trouble among them. This aspect is quite important. You must be on guard."
Feng Ziying laughed.
This Yuanchun is still a little young. The previous words were already explicit enough, but the following words are too straightforward, and it is easy to be criticized. Only she and she can say it, but there are other people. , even my biological parents and brothers should not be like this.
But it's understandable. It's probably the first time I've been arranged by Renshou Palace to do something, and I still lack experience.
With Yuanchun's intelligence, he was able to adapt quickly.
Feng Ziying estimated that during this period of time, Yuan Chun might frequently leave the palace to meet with him, acting as a messenger between Renshou Palace and the civil servants.
Seeing Feng Ziying's smile, Yuan Chun's face felt a little feverish. She knew that she might have been too revealing. The concubine had reminded her before, but once again, she really didn't have such a sense of proportion when she was in it.
He was a little embarrassed, but he couldn't blame the other party. However, at this time, Yuanchun knew that the other party had understood the meaning of his words, and he bit his lip gently and changed the subject: "Brother Keng, thank you for troublesome Baoyu. "
Feng Ziying smiled even more happily, "Sister, whatever you say, Baoyu is like my brother. Naturally, I hope that Baoyu will have a good future. Now Baoyu is good at poetry and poetry, and he has also made some achievements in poetry. If he can It would be best to go further..."
Yuanchun felt relieved and nodded: "Well, I thought that was the case. If Baoyu can become a scholar, that would be the best thing. Baoyu, what do you think?"
Baoyu's face suddenly became sad. Is it so easy for this scholar to take the exam? My eldest brother was admitted as a scholar at the age of fourteen, but his body was broken down by the torment. How could he make the same mistake again?
Seeing Baoyu's expression of mourning, Feng Ziying also smiled and said, "Baoyu, you just need to work hard, and it doesn't take just one or two years to achieve this goal. My eldest sister is just setting a direction for you. You can't do it at the age of fourteen. How about sixteen? If sixteen is not enough, what about eighteen or twenty? After all, you have to have a direction and goal in studying, right?"
Regarding Brother Feng's soft cheeks for her, Baoyu was convinced and nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice.
Seeing this situation, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang could only comfort each other. At least Baoyu was still interested in studying, and was not as disgusted with reading as before. This was an improvement.
Yuanchun couldn't see this, but what could she do? Feng Ziying set a goal for him, which was to pass the scholar examination, which was pretty good, so that he wouldn't waste every day.
*******
Seeing Jia Lian coming back, Wang Xifeng couldn't help but stepped forward to welcome Jia Lian into the house and asked anxiously: "How is it?"
"What?" Jia Lian asked.
"What about the Yun family thing I asked you to ask about?" Wang Xifeng became anxious.
She and Jia Lian only said that the Yun family's daughter-in-law and she were in love with each other, so they cared about her, but they kept the other side in the dark because Shi Guangzhu's daughter was indeed acquainted with Wang Xifeng, but she had not had much contact with her over the years.
"I asked, but Brother Keng didn't know very well. He just knew that the Yun Guang and Ma Xia cases were indeed related. The Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Long Jinwei had indeed seized Yun Guang and raided the Yun family's residence in Xi'an. The mansion over there,... Brother Keng is coming over for a drink at noon, so just ask,..."
As soon as she heard that Yun Guang's residence in Xi'an was raided, Wang Xifeng's face turned pale and her body began to tremble.
Jia Lian, on the other hand, was thinking about his own concerns, but did not notice the change in Sister Feng's expression, and just lay down on the bed.
His father told him that he must squeeze out tens of thousands of taels of silver from the Ma family, but this matter still fell on him, which made Jia Lian very helpless.
After trying to dodge to no avail, Jia Lian saw that his father's cane was about to swing towards him, so Jia Lian could only respond first.
I still have to find a solution from Brother Keng. He won't ruin a big thing just for his father's selfish gain.
Seeing that Brother Keng's reputation is getting stronger and stronger, and he is about to be re-employed by the imperial court, how can he give up his bright future for such a thing?
Brother Keng also told himself that the court will definitely make big moves in the next step. There are many kinds of businesses involved, and there will always be opportunities of his own.
It's just that Brother Keng didn't say what kind of business he was doing. He only said that it was promising, which made Jia Lian feel itchy. He made an appointment that Brother Keng would come to his place for dinner later, so he wanted to ask him carefully. Fan.
Jia Lian was previously worried that Feng Ziying would no longer want to eat in the house, but he did not expect that she would readily accept the invitation, which moved Jia Lian quite a bit. This brother Keng did not lose out on him just because the tide had risen, it was still the same. Loyalty.
Here Jia Lian was just lying on the bed thinking about his own affairs, while over there Wang Xifeng was sitting alone in the east room thinking about things.
His pale face was changing. Wang Xifeng also knew that this kind of thing could be big or small. If he interfered with the judiciary and suppressed officials, if the censor took advantage of it and refused to give up, he was afraid that the Jia family would be implicated. and the Wang family.
Many people in the Jia family have long disliked him relying on his aunt to run the family, and his mother-in-law is also deeply dissatisfied with him. Once these things are exposed, I'm afraid it will immediately trigger a huge turmoil. It's hard for Jia's mother and aunt to protect themselves anymore, and they may even have to go to court.
Thinking that she might be imprisoned, Wang Xifeng found it difficult to control her fear, not counting the Wang family.
The second uncle is now in a sensitive position and is trying his best to avoid such a turmoil, so he asked the Jia family to come forward. If his second uncle knew that he was using his name and the Jia family's name to intervene in the lawsuit to gain money, I'm afraid it would be even worse. He is so full of resentment that this family relationship may be severed.
The question is what to do now?
She didn't dare let Jia Lian know about such things.
Jia Lian has been unable to see these things since he started working outside.
He wouldn't allow loan sharking, and he was firmly opposed to taking on litigation to make some money, so she didn't dare to talk to Jia Lian about it.
Now that such a big disaster has happened, which is related to the future of the Jia family and the Wang family, I am afraid that Jia Lian will fall out with him immediately if he finds out.
"Ping'er!"
"Hey, grandma." Ping'er noticed Wang Xifeng's restlessness early in the morning. His eyes were darkened. It was obvious that he didn't sleep well last night. He also sat in a daze from time to time, not knowing what to think. , she didn’t dare to ask any more questions.
The atmosphere in the mansion has been a bit strange these days. The eldest master and the second master often discuss things together, which is something they have never seen before.
The eldest girl, who rarely comes back, also came back, but she only heard that she had entered the house, but no one was there. She had wanted to meet these sisters more or less before, so it was obvious that something was going on.
Today, Uncle Feng came to the house again. The first and second masters, the second master Lian and the second master Bao all went to see him. It was so solemn. Even though Feng Ziying had made great contributions in Western Xinjiang, it was still true. It's better not to let the Jia family mobilize troops and mobilize people like this.
After all, there is something weird in it, but a servant like her doesn't know it.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw Wang Xifeng looking directly at her, which shocked Ping'er, "Grandma, what's wrong?"
"Ping'er, how do I treat you on weekdays?" Wang Xifeng said suddenly.
Ping'er was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder were about to burst. What was he going to do? He quickly knelt down and said, "Grandma, why did you say this? I have been my grandma since I was a child. Grandma has been kind and reborn since I was a girl. From the time I was a girl to the time I got married, I have never disobeyed..."
"Then if grandma wants to ask for something, can you rely on me?" Wang Xifeng spoke slowly, but her tone was tragic and unquestionable.
"Ah? Grandma, if you have anything to do, just tell me, even if you let me die, I won't dare to complain..." Ping'er became more and more frightened. She didn't know whether Wang Xifeng had gone crazy or was possessed by evil spirits.
"Okay!" Wang Xifeng suddenly pulled Ping'er up and knelt down, "I have something to ask of you today!"
"Ah?!" Ping'er's face turned pale with shock, "Grandma, grandma! What did you do today? Why are you doing this? Are you trying to kill this slave? If you have anything you can tell me, as long as I can do it , I dare not shirk the blame even if my body is broken into pieces..."
Wang Xifeng then told the situation one by one, and also told Jia Lian about the proposal that the master and his wife had made to Jia Lian to give Ping'er to the Feng family. Hearing Ping'er standing there twisting his sweat towel, he was full of excitement. His face was complex, mixed with confusion and helplessness.
After a long time, Ping'er lowered his eyelids and said quietly: "Grandma, either this slave despises himself, or as grandma said, Uncle Feng took advantage of my body and ruined my innocence. So what? My slave The body is like grass. Uncle Feng just took possession of the slave's body. It is nothing to show. The government will not pay attention to such things at all. What's more, the master and his wife had this intention in the first place. Wouldn't it be more convenient for them? You want to use this to blackmail Uncle Feng, I’m afraid it’s useless, right?”
Wang Xifeng's face showed a hint of viciousness, and she waved her hand, "You are second best in this area. Of course I have backup plans."
Ping'er was puzzled. He had sacrificed his own life, but what else could he do next? What else could he do?
He made it very clear that he was letting Feng Ziying do whatever he wanted. He was only exchanging his innocence, but he did no harm to Feng Ziying. If he wanted to blackmail the other party with this, the other party would not pay attention at all, and would only make him angry.
At most, it would create a rift between Jia Lian and Feng Ziying, but how would this help Wang Xifeng's worries? Maybe the other party will take even more severe revenge.
