Jiangnan, Zhen family.
Mrs. Xu, the wife of the Zhen family, looked at her husband, the master of the Zhen family, Zhen Yingjia, the president of Jinling Provincial Tiren Academy, with a look of sadness and sadness on her face.
Mrs. Xu thought about the future scene and couldn't help crying: "Master, I have sent our three daughters to Rongguo Mansion according to your instructions before, and I also told the old lady to take care of them. matter.
I originally wanted to let my three daughters live in Rongguo Mansion and never come back to avoid disaster.
But who knew that the old lady of Rongguo Mansion would not allow this matter, and the matter would not proceed further.
Now our three daughters all live at home, and our Baoyu is a master who doesn't wake up to things.
Recently, the whole Jinling Mansion has been rumored that Jia Yun and Prince Zhongshun came here just to investigate our family's old accounts and come to punish our family crimes under the emperor's order.
I thought to myself, it was inevitable that my house would be confiscated.
What should we do?
Woohoo.
..."
As she spoke, Mrs. Xu couldn't help but burst into tears and burst into tears.
At this time, Zhen Yingjia also looked unhappy and irritable, and hurriedly scolded: "Why are you crying?
Hasn’t our family been charged yet?
Even if our family is really accused in the future, cannot make up for the shortfall of the court, and is really ransacked, I will leave a way out for you. .Ь.
I can't do it anymore!
Sooner or later, you will end up being assigned to the frontier and never hired.
But you are different from Baoyu and your daughters.
I asked you to go to the Rongguo Mansion to give you money before. When our family is in trouble in the future, just let the Rongguo Mansion buy you back. It should be fine.
As for Baoyu, Baoyu is young and what happened back then will not be punished to him.
Your Majesty actually knows what this deficit is about.
For the sake of the former Emperor Taizu, he would also leave a way out for our family.
When someone ransacked their home, they only lost their title and official status, and confiscated their property.
As long as Baoyu can wake up in the future, he may not be able to be named on the gold list and bring our family back to the ranks of wealthy families again.
As the saying goes, this skinny camel is bigger than a horse.
As long as Baoyu takes his fame seriously, Rongguo Mansion will definitely take care of him if he gets money.
In the future, Baoyu's official career will be much smoother.
In addition, I also ordered you to visit other big families, including the four princes and the eight princes. Who doesn't have money from our family?
As long as their power does not decline, Baoyu still has a bright future! "
Zhen Yingjia had actually known the emperor's thoughts for a long time, so she had prepared a way out for herself and the entire family in advance.
Zhen Yingjia is definitely doomed.
It is inevitable that we will end up being sent to the frontier.
But the ladies at home do not have to go with him.
As long as you can afford the money, whether it is a maid or a girl from the Zhen family, they can be bought and sold.
For example, in the original Dream of Red Mansions, after the Rongguo Mansion was ransacked, Wang Xifeng's biological daughter Qiaoer was not sold to the Jiaofangsi, but was bought by a brothel and became a little girl in the brothel.
Another example is Shi Xiangyun. Shi Xiangyun was also in trouble after his family was ransacked, and he was also sold to a brothel as a prostitute.
Therefore, Zhen Yingjia had already thought of this.
As long as you have money, it shouldn't be difficult to buy back your daughter and wife.
At most, it's just a matter of spending more money.
Zhen Yingjia even thought that the Rongguo Mansion took the money and did nothing. After seeing the Zhen family in trouble, she planned to stand by, take the money, and do nothing.
Therefore, Zhen Yingjia also sent her family's money to other big families.
Any big family that has close contact with the Zhen family has received Zhen's help.
The money sent home.
As long as one of them has a conscience, the ladies and girls of the Zhen family can escape.
There is no need to be reduced to a prostitute.
It's just that Zhen Yingjia thought very well and calculated well. Even her son Zhen Baoyu suddenly realized that his future in the imperial examination and his official career had been planned and arranged in advance.
In Zhen Yingjia's opinion, although the Zhen family was ransacked, as long as nothing happened to the four major families and the eight princes, the Zhen family would still have a future.
Even if they take a step back, all the major families are adding insult to injury and are unwilling to help the Zhen family, and they have no intention of buying back the girls and wives of the Zhen family.
Relying on the Zhen family's ancestral sacrificial fields, it was enough for Zhen Baoyu to have no worries about food and drink, and to take the imperial examination with peace of mind.
When the imperial court ransacked a house, the ancestral property held by the family for sacrifice was not included in the list of houses to be searched.
Therefore, Qin Keqing asked Wang Xifeng to buy more sacrificial fields for ancestor worship in the ancestral land of Jia Mansion in Jinling Prefecture to avoid the inspection of the imperial court, thereby achieving a perfect emergency escape and leaving the foundation for farming and studying for imperial examinations for future generations. .
At this point, even if the top wealthy and powerful people fell into a poor family, they were still a poor family, not poor people.
As long as a generation can work hard for fame and rely on their past reputation and connections, as well as their fallen connections and sophistication, it may not be impossible for them to return to the peak of power.
The path paved by Zhen Yingjia has already been clearly arranged.
Therefore, Zhen Yingjia looked at the lady sitting next to her and said, "Things in the world are unpredictable. Who could have imagined that something like this would happen?"
While Zhen Yingjia and his wife were hiding in the house to discuss the future, the entire Zhen family was also in chaos.
Especially the maids and slaves had a change of heart and began to plot to escape.
Chaos abounds and is frowned upon.
At this moment, in the house of the old lady of the Zhen family, when the old lady learned about what happened outside, she couldn't help but become furious. Unable to withstand such a blow, the old lady fainted directly.
The maid serving Mrs. Zhen in the mansion turned pale and frightened when she saw this, and shouted loudly: "It's not good, it's not good, someone comes quickly! The old lady has passed out."
Everyone standing outside heard the news inside and hurried in to check the situation.
When they saw Mrs. Zhen who had passed out, they couldn't help crying.
As one person cries, everyone cries one after another, making the whole room a mess.
When the masters, wives, girls and young men of the Zhen family heard that their ancestor had passed away, they immediately ran over to visit the old lady and asked hurriedly: "Mr. Zhong, where is the doctor? Hurry up and call the doctor over to see the doctor." !」
For a time, the entire Zhen family was shrouded in the sadness of doomsday.
The three beautiful girls from the Zhen family looked at the old lady lying on the hospital bed and couldn't help crying: "Grandma, we can't live without you in our family!"
