Zhen Baochen felt that his father had lost everything.
Only three days after returning to Jinling, Zhen Baochen felt that Jinling City had completely changed, and it completely lost the flavor of Nanjing City in the past.
There seemed to be a layer of dust on the gates of the Nanjing Sixth Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and there were only a few people inside.
After losing the status of Nanjing, Jinling City was suddenly knocked back to its original shape. It seemed that even the people in Jinling City felt that their energy and energy had been shortened.
Zhen Baochen realized the dilemma of the Zhen family, that is, they simply did not know who to find to communicate, manage, or contact them.
It turns out that Prince Yi Zhong is here, Tang Mu, Zhu Gu and his gang are here, Jia Jing can also speak, and Jia Yucun and others are always smiling, but look at it now, Nanjing’s halo has been lost, and everyone who can speak can All the people are gone, and the only ones left are the drowned dogs with their backs broken, such as Jia Jing and Shui Rong.
And what use are these people? It was worthless and meaningless, and they even hoped that the Zhen family would help them.
Even people like the Ding family and the Tang family were able to find a way out and took action immediately, but the Zhen family failed to catch him.
The Capital City can't be relied upon at all now. It will take at least a month to go back and forth with the messenger. And can going to the messenger solve the problem? Will others accept and pay attention to you?
Either the father should go in person, and he must have the determination to give up his wealth to avoid disaster. It is not three to five million, not even one million. He must have the courage and determination to use all the family assets, and maybe he can escape this disaster.
But his father, uncle, and others obviously couldn't do this. Their idea was to use half of the family's wealth to buy connections, and then even if the Zhen family died down, they would hide their strength and stay dormant, and Xu Tu would rise again in the future.
But who will give you such a chance to breathe?
The second uncle went to Songjiang Mansion with a large banknote, intending to bring in the Dong family and the Lu family.
But Zhen Baochen felt that it might not be that simple. You can't settle things with a banknote of hundreds of thousands of taels. There are many people who may not accept it if you send it to their door, or they may not dare to accept it.
Just like himself and Bao Yu, his father eagerly went to Jia Yucun to help connect Feng Ziying and was willing to let the two of him serve the scarf festival. However, Jia Yucun came up with a delaying plan. He neither said yes nor said no, so he just delayed. It consumes time and energy, and this is the most dangerous.
Father should not stay in Jinling City. Staying in Jinling City is the biggest mistake. There is no one who can help or talk to him. In this situation, the Zhen family can only sit back and wait for death. .
My father should have gone to Beijing a long time ago, with Prince Yi Zhong, or Tang Mi and others, even if he suffered some grievances and idleness.
By following these people to the capital, the Zhen family's money can quickly exert its power through these people, and these people also need the money. Instead of keeping a dead sum of money now, what's the point?
A pile of silver that cannot be used is worse than a pile of scrap metal.
The current situation of the Zhen family can be described in one sentence: a fish swimming in the cauldron, sitting back and waiting to die.
Zhen Baochen was very anxious, but she was just a woman, and she was a woman who had just been divorced by her husband's family. Her status was embarrassing, and she had a lot of beauty in her chest. But without her father's approval, how many people in the family would listen to her?
What's more, Zhen Baochen is also at a loss and doesn't know where to start. My father went to find Jia Jing again. This was my advice to my father.
Although it turned out that my father and Jia Jing were unhappy because of various trivial matters, that was all in the past.
Jia Yucun is unreliable, but Jia Jing can give it a try.
Now that everyone is in the same boat, Jia Jing seems to be sitting on the Diaoyutai. I don't know what path this guy has taken. I think he can protect himself wisely, but it is still okay to come to him and ask for a solution without asking for help.
At any rate, everyone was the first to follow Prince Yoshitaka. If they could survive this storm, everyone would still be able to take care of him in the future.
But this was not enough. Zhen Baochen took a deep breath and walked around the room.
The Ding family did a great job, and immediately sent back their dowry maids, servants, Tong Pozi and servants along with the dowry. Obviously, they wanted to completely draw a clear line and cut it clearly to avoid being implicated by the Zhen family. thus
It can be seen how bad the Ding family's judgment of the Zhen family's situation was, and this was accomplished in just over a month.
Zhen Baochen analyzed that it was largely due to Ding Deju's prediction, and then quickly notified his father-in-law and husband, and then made such a decisive response in time.
It is said that a couple's love lasts for a hundred days. She has been married to the Ding family for eight years. Although she has never given birth to any children, Zhen Baochen does not think it is her fault. Her husband has some health problems. It is just that such secrets are not enough for outsiders to understand, but it seems that This did not affect the relationship between the couple.
Although it was a little lighter, perhaps this was how the relationship between husband and wife was originally, treating each other as guests and caring for each other. Zhen Baochen once thought that his whole life would pass like this, but he did not expect that his life would suddenly change when he was about to turn twenty-three.
Tomorrow is his birthday. Zhen Baochen stood in front of the window lattice and stared out the window silently. I sighed in my heart, who still remembers me?
Her father-in-law's disdain, her husband's ruthlessness, and her husband's behavior all made Zhen Baochen feel pain in her heart.
Although on the surface he was able to hold up the scene in front of the people in the house without showing any signs of it, the sleepless nights and the tears on his pillow all told Zhen Baochen that he was not that strong and confident.
"Sister!" Baoyu's voice came from outside the door. Zhen Baochen adjusted his expression, turned his head, smiled broadly, and looked at his younger brother and cousin who walked in, "Baoyu, Baoyu."
Zhen Baoyu still looked full of energy, with a purple gold crown with two dragons grabbing pearls on her head, a gold embroidered purple band wiping her forehead, her face was like a crown jade, and she was full of energy. She walked in with a big wooden box in her hand, "Sister, tomorrow What day is this, do you remember?"
Zhen Baochen was surprised, "What day?"
"It's your birthday, eldest sister, have you forgotten it yourself?" Zhen Baoyu looked back with a smile on her face, looked back at Zhen Baoyu provocatively, and said proudly: "Baoyu, how about it? I said that eldest sister is in a bad mood when she comes back. I must have forgotten my own birthday, but I remember it firmly. It turns out that before my eldest sister got married, my family would prepare gifts for her every birthday. But I know that my eldest sister didn’t care much about it, only what was most important to her. ?」
Zhen Baochen looked at his younger brother. Although he was not born to the same mother, the relationship between the siblings was no worse than the relationship between the second sister and Baoyu. Although he remembered Baoyu's birthday clearly, he also remembered his own birthday. Baoyu's preferences are still fresh in his memory.
With a happy smile on his face, Zhen Baochen was moved and couldn't help but tremble slightly. How long can such a life last? Maybe tomorrow or next month, will the Zhen family melt away like snow under the sun?
"Baoyu, Baoyu, it's hard for you to still remember my sister's birthday. But there is something going on in the house now, and my sister has just come back, so there is no need to spend so much time..." Zhen Baochen sighed in his heart, but his face was filled with joy. In front of him, he took the box handed over by Zhen Baoyu.
"Hehe, this is eldest sister's favorite snack from Tongbaozhai - Honey Green Osmanthus, Chestnut Flour Cake. Look, it has five colors of ingredients, each with five flavors: sweet and sour, light sweet, pure sweet, light sweet. It's fresh and sweet. I specially ordered this from Tongbaozhai. It was delivered in advance today. I want my eldest sister to have a mouthful of delicious food on her birthday.
Zhen Baoyu's face was like a silver basin and her eyes were like bright stars. The admiration she revealed moved Zhen Baochen.
Zhen Baochen took a deep breath. His younger brother was good at everything, but he didn't like worldly affairs. It was said that Baoyu from the Jia family in the capital city was the same. He didn't know what the situation was like now that the Jia family had fallen sadly.
Zhen Baochen had seen Jia Jia Baoyu.
When I was twelve years old, I and my two younger sisters went to the capital with their father and met all the girls from the Jia family.
Jia Jiayuan's four daughters, Yingtanxi, and Zhen Jiachen's three sisters, Xuanyu, gathered together. It was just a long time ago. At that time, Jia Jiayuanchun's oldest was only thirteen years old, and the other girls were younger than him. The impression was no longer very deep, but The beauty and refinement of the girls are still engraved in Zhen Baochen's heart.
The relationship between the Zhen and Jia families has always been close, but it has tended to fade in recent years. The Zhen family is busy with their career and business, so they don't pay much attention to the declining Jia family.
.
Jia Jing came to Nanjing alone. Because he was in charge of the household department, he had a very unhappy relationship with his father's illicit affair. Therefore, the current relationship between Zhen and Jia's family has become a dispensable and useless thing.
The problem is that now the Zhen family is following in the footsteps of the Jia family, and may even end up worse and more tragic than the Jia family. The Jia family still has the Feng family to help the village, but now what about the Zhen family?
When a wall falls and everyone pushes it down, those who add insult to injury will soon appear.
Looking at Baoyu who silently lowered her eyebrows, Zhen Baochen knew that this cousin was actually much more sensible than Baoyu. She also knew the current precarious situation of the Zhen family, so although she came with gifts in hand, her interest was obviously not high. And the sorrow between his brows and eyes also said a lot.
"Baoyu, you are very considerate. My sister has not had Tongbaozhai's dim sum for a long time. I must try it today and have a full meal." Zhen Baochen took the box and smiled, "Baoyu, what about you, since you are all here If you are here to congratulate me, you should bring out your gifts, right?"
Zhen Baoyu didn't expect her sister to be able to keep her composure. She still looked calm and calm. The worries in her heart were slightly relieved. She held out a jade and wood double comb and said sincerely: "Sister, this is something that my little sister accidentally discovered." This comb is made of ebony wood and Hetian jade. It is half wood and half jade. It is joined together with a mortise and tenon structure. It is very practical. I wish my sister that after using this comb, everything will go well in the future.
