The girls in the mansion and Mrs. Xu also knew what Mrs. Zhen planned to do.
Some maids who knew about it thought in their hearts: This is the old lady who wants to worship Buddha and pray for blessings.
Therefore, everyone in the mansion hurriedly served Old Mrs. Zhen and laid out a short red felt worship mat so that Old Mrs. Zhen could kneel here without bumping her knees.
Mrs. Zhen knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times.
Then I saw old Mrs. Zhen holding three sticks of incense in her trembling hands, intending to offer incense to the gods and Buddhas. She knelt down to pray devoutly that the Zhen family could survive this disaster, turn the crisis into safety, and bring good fortune in the event of death.
Old Mrs. Zhen first recited the Buddha's name once, and then with tears in her eyes she prayed to heaven and earth, saying: "The Emperor and the Bodhisattva are above, I, the Zhenmen Zhao family, pray sincerely, asking the Buddha and the Bodhisattva to show mercy.
For several lifetimes, I, the Zhenmen, have not dared to be cruel and tyrannical.
I help my husband and my son. Even though I cannot do good things, I dare not do evil things.
It must be that the children and grandchildren of the younger generation are arrogant, extravagant, wasteful and squandering natural resources, so that the whole government will be inspected.
Now the family is restless, and the children and grandchildren are about to be confiscated and imprisoned by the court, which is naturally a disaster.
All the sins in this matter are all sins committed by me alone. I don't teach my children and grandchildren to follow the way of heaven, so this is the end.
I am asking the Emperor to bless you right now: those who are in prison will turn into good luck, and those who are sick will be able to find a safe place as soon as possible.
There are always sins committed by the whole family, and one is willing to bear them all, and only asks for forgiveness for the children and grandchildren.
If the emperor takes pity on me and thinks of my piety, he will grant me an early death and forgive the sins of my children and grandchildren. "
Mrs. Zhen said this silently in her heart, but she couldn't help but feel sad and sobbed.
Seeing that Old Mrs. Zhen did not speak, the people nearby suddenly burst into tears. They also hurriedly stepped forward to help Old Mrs. Zhen. They tried to persuade and say some comforting words, and at the same time hurriedly helped Old Mrs. Zhen to enter. Go and rest in the room.
Mrs. Xu took Zhen Baoyu and her three daughters to help Mrs. Zhen into the room inside. After another good meal of comfort, Mrs. Zhen slowly relaxed her mood and took a breath for the time being.
After everyone left, Mrs. Xu called Zhen Baoyu and said, "Baoyu! Our family will definitely not survive this time. You are the male son of our family. Even if the imperial court confiscates your family, you still have the kindness of your ancestors and the four princes and eight princes." In terms of face, I will definitely not implicate you.
xь., you can also be protected.
Mom just hopes that you can wake up this time, study hard, and strive for fame.
Even if your mother and father die in the future, they can die with a smile on their face. "
When Zhen Baoyu saw Mrs. Xu talking about such sad things, she hurriedly knelt down, hugged Mrs. Xu's knees, and said, "Mom, Baoyu can't live without you!"
Mrs. Xu couldn't help but shed tears when she heard this.
Zhen Baoyu was reluctant to let Mrs. Xu leave, but how could Mrs. Xu be willing to let Zhen Baoyu leave?
Now all the imperial ministers sent by the imperial court are here.
Both Jia Yun and Prince Zhongshun came.
Mrs. Xu already knew in her heart that she was afraid that she would not escape death this time.
But Mrs. Xu couldn't worry about her sons and daughters, so she couldn't help sobbing, and said hurriedly: "If our family is really ruined in the future, there will still be a sacrificial field left by our ancestors for you.
The abundant food produced in these fields every year is enough for you to make a living and cultivate your family.
You have not been bad at talent since you were a child, but the old lady pampered you too much, which made you evolve into such a virtuous person.
From now on, neither mother nor the old lady can take care of you anymore.
You have to take care of yourself, don't let yourself be confused anymore.
It’s time to work hard for the imperial examination! "
Mrs. Xu advised her son Zhen Baoyu in front of her, and then sighed and said: "Okay, my son, you can go back and rest today, and think carefully about what my mother and ancestors are telling you today. if.
I have a few words for my mother to tell my sisters. "
After saying that, he saw Zhen Baoyu getting up and walking away with tears on her face.
.
After Zhen Baoyu left, Mrs. Xu quickly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and ordered her three daughters to be called.
She looked at the three daughters in front of her and said, "You must also know about our family's affairs!
My mother has already discussed this matter with your father.
Next, I will take you to the Jia Mansion to pay a visit to Mr. Yun.
I heard that Lord Yun is extremely beautiful and is a lustful and romantic gentleman. xь.
If you go to Yun Mansion, you will not suffer any loss in the future. "
Mrs. Xu didn't originally intend to do this.
After all, their daughter is their heart and soul, how could they let go of her so easily?
It was just that the situation forced them to do this.
As long as Jia Yun is willing to accept these three daughters, Zhen Baoyu will have a big backer in the court.
This big backer, because of the connection with the three sisters of the Zhen family, is much more reliable than the Rongguo Mansion.
What's more, when the Zhen family is really ransacked, they will be completely ruined.
These three noble ladies could not escape the fate of being sold into Jiaofangsi and brothels.
Therefore, instead of watching his daughter sell meat in a brothel, it is better to just serve Jia Yun.
However, Mrs. Xu also knows that her daughters are all arrogant masters, and ordinary people cannot fall into their eyes.
Furthermore, the three women are all sisters and will marry Jia Yun as their concubine.
This is simply more exaggerated than the Ehuang Nüying back then.
At least this hurdle in my heart should be difficult to pass.
Therefore, Mrs. Xu called her three daughters to take psychological precautions in advance, so as not to cause trouble and ruin this only chance to escape. .Ь.
Hearing Mrs. Xu's words, the three daughters' expressions changed slightly, and they were also thinking about this matter in their hearts.
I thought deeply in my heart: I guess that woman was going to get married.
The three sisters all married Jia Yun as concubines. From then on, they stayed by Jia Yun's side and had someone to take care of them.
Moreover, they had been to Rongguo Mansion before and had communicated with Jia Tanchun and others, so they knew what kind of person Jia Yun was.
Therefore, the three sisters did not object to this arrangement.
Rather than letting them sell meat in a brothel, it would be better to marry Jia Yun and enjoy the wealth.
Mrs. Xu couldn't help but smile after seeing that her daughters did not object to this matter.
This was a rare happy moment for her in the past few days.
As long as Jia Yun nods and these three sisters are sent over, then the Zhen family will have all their escape options.
Zhen Baoyu can work and study in the imperial examination, and her daughters can also enjoy wealth and glory with Jia Yun entrusting them for life.
As for Mrs. Xu and Master Zhen, they don’t think about other things!
This time they cannot escape death.
Especially the master of the Zhen family, he can be exempted from death penalty but cannot escape from living crime. He is sent to the frontier and will definitely die.
