Chapter 1749 The Renzi scroll gives roses to others
There was a look of satisfaction on Mother Jia's face, and then she sighed softly: "I can trust you, but I also know that sometimes even you can't make the decision. This matter is not trivial. It is also a matter of life and death for the Jia family. I don’t dare to hope for anything else, I just hope that the daughters of the Jia family will not be humiliated. As for Baoyu, Huan Geer and even Langeer, I look away. If a man lives in the world, if he suffers some hardships, it may not be a bad thing..."
I have to say that Jia's mother has some wisdom and foresight in being able to control the prince in the second house of Rong Ning. With this knowledge alone, she can get a glimpse of it, but I don't know why she fainted on Jia Baoyu's stubborn rock. After all, if Jia Baoyu had been able to cultivate himself since childhood, he wouldn't be in this situation now.
“The old lady is right.” Feng Ziying responded respectfully.
"I'm afraid the Rongguo Mansion can't be saved. I've also thought about it. Girl Lin is also a member of your Feng family. Didn't the Jia family borrow 200,000 taels of silver from the Lin family to build the garden?" Jia Mu raised her hand and said, "Mandarin ducks." He had already handed out a piece of paper with both hands, "This is the IOU that I asked Zheng'er to write back then. Although I didn't give it to Lin Yatou, it has always been in my hands. Now I have an explanation..."
Feng Ziying glanced doubtfully and remained silent.
"The final fate of Rongguo Mansion is probably to be sold by the government, but this garden was built with money from the Lin family. It might not be easy to tell if it had been anyone else, but Miss Lin is going to marry you, Brother Keng, you can help Waiting for Lin Yatou to recover the money from the sales proceeds..."
When Jia Mu said this, Feng Ziying also understood, shook her head, and said with a wry smile: "Old lady, I'm afraid this money is not easy to get. The court will seize it and sell it, which means it needs money, so it will not approve this kind of loan. , otherwise the imperial court will not be able to raise funds through sales if they are all used in this way."
Jia Mu sighed, "I have also thought about this, but now that's all I can do. Otherwise, the Rongguo Mansion will just confiscate it, and Lin Yatou's money will be wasted..."
"Old lady, you should not pay too much attention to these things. You will not take the money with you until you die. Even without this money, if Sister Lin enters the Feng family, can Ziying still treat her badly?" Feng Ziying looked at it. Looking at Daiyu who lowered her head and wiped her tears, "Ziying will also try her best to help the other sisters. Let's see how the court decides..."
As for these people, Tanchun and Xichun are the daughters of Jia Zheng and Jia Jing, and Shi Xiangyun is Sun Shaozu's engaged wife. I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to escape. Even Feng Ziying cannot exonerate them, and the same goes for Li Wan. Her father, Li Shouzhong, is now the right minister of the Ministry of Rites of the Puppet Dynasty. Even though she is married, she is the daughter-in-law of Jia Zheng, so she cannot escape.
What Feng Ziying said was just to make everyone feel welcome and express an attitude. We can only wait and see what the specific situation will be.
As for how the imperial court will deal with the rest of the family in the Rongguo Mansion besides the masters, it is hard to say now, such as the slaves and children bought in, as well as more children born in the family, as well as those with the direct descendants and the five servants. There are too many uncertainties for the Jia family outside.
Jia Mu took a deep breath and suddenly said: "You all go out first, and I will have a few words with Brother Keng."
Everyone was surprised, but they all stood up silently and retreated.
Only Jia Mu, Yuanyang, and Feng Ziying were left in the house.
"Ziying, please tell me the truth. How will the court deal with the Jia family?" Jia's mother went straight to the point, but her tone was particularly calm: "I am over seventy and my time is running out, but the Jia family cannot be wiped out by me. , I can't say anything about Jia Jing's matter. It was the choice of the head of their Ningguo Mansion, but Zheng'er knows it. He definitely doesn't have the guts to be the minister of Guanglu Temple, so he is probably accepted by others. Forced, I can’t help myself. I hope Brother Keng can help your uncle Zheng Shi distinguish this matter..."
Feng Ziying was about to explain, but Jia Mu waved her hand to stop her: "I didn't say that I want you to go to the court now to find out. The court will not listen to this now. No matter whether the Rongguo Mansion confiscates the house or distributes it, I'm afraid you can't hide it, but What about the future? When the imperial court's crusade against Jiangnan is over, they will be cleared one by one. If Zheng'er is really forced to do this, then please ask Brother Keng to help clear Zheng'er's name, which can also leave some hope for the Jia family..."
Jia's mother was devastated. She also knew that even if Jia Zheng's matter could be clarified, Jia Jing was also a member of the Jia family, or a long branch. The Wang family was the legitimate daughter of the Wang family, but Li Wan's father was willing to be the right minister of the Ministry of Rites of the puppet dynasty. The nephew Shi Nai is a rebel general, and Baoyu's wife is also the legitimate daughter of the Niu family. They are all closely related to important officials of the puppet dynasty. How can the Rongguo Mansion get away with it?
But Jia Mu knew that she must not give up in despair at this time, otherwise the entire Rongguo Mansion would really disappear. She must retain a hope for the Jia family no matter what.
"Brother Keng, I know that what you said is really difficult to defend. I only hope that the court will be cleared of Zheng'er's matter, so that we can leave some hope for the Jia family..." Seeing that Feng Ziying didn't seem to understand, Jia The mother continued: "Zheng'er is old, so of course I don't count on him, but what about Huan Ge'er and Lang Ge'er? Both of them are good at reading. If Zheng'er's matter cannot be cleared up, even if Huan Ge'er is Brother and Brother Lang will be blocked from studying for the imperial examination, so how can the Jia family still have hope?"
So, Feng Ziying had to admire Jia Mu's thoughtful and meticulous consideration. Although the Jia family was involved in many things, for Jia Huan and Jia Lan, Jia Zheng's affairs were the core.
As long as Jia Zheng can be acquitted, at least Jia Huan and Jia Lan will be able to retain the opportunity to get a background in the imperial examination.
After all, the other people who committed the crime were not close relatives of Jia Huanjia Lan. Even if they were affected by some implication, they would not block the way out.
With a slight chin, Feng Ziying finally nodded: "What the old lady said is true. Ziying didn't consider this aspect. Brother Huan and Brother Lan are both my disciples. Naturally, I will not sit idly by and do nothing. I will definitely understand." I will do my best to help them, even Baoyu, and I will do my best..."
Mother Jia waved her hands very seriously: "Brother Keng, although I love Baoyu, this is not the time to think about Baoyu. If the Jia family wants to survive, it will have to fall on Brother Huan and Brother Lan." , as long as the two of them can survive this disaster, Baoyu will naturally be able to protect Yu Yin. During this period, Baoyu will suffer some hardships, which is worth it, so I ask Brother Keng to put his thoughts on Brother Huan and Brother Lang. Of course, Brother Cong, if you have the chance, please help."
Jia Cong has not been mentioned before, which is enough to show how dissatisfied the old lady is with her eldest son Jia She. Pulse, this time I finally thought of it.
“The old lady is serious, even if you don’t mention these things, this is also my responsibility.” Feng Ziying nodded.
"As the saying goes, no thanks can be expressed for a great favor. The Jia family is like this now. I really can't thank you. I heard that Brother Keng thinks highly of Yuanyang. She has also been with me for so many years. In terms of character and work, I am not boasting. First-class, it turns out that I kept her just to reassure myself and let her guard the family's little possessions for me, but it's meaningless now, so I want to give the mandarin duck to Brother Keng, and nothing else. He said that you are still capable of running a house for Brother Keng,..."
Mother Jia's eyes fell on Yuanyang, who was kneeling on the ground with tears streaming down her face. She reached out and rubbed Yuanyang's head, "There is no banquet in the world that never comes to an end. I have delayed Yuanyang for so many years. Yuanyang, you are already twenty. Change it." In other families, I have long been married off or given to the master of the house, so it is a comfort to me that you can stay with Brother Keng today."
"No, ancestor, the mandarin duck will not leave, even if he is killed, the slave will serve you for the rest of his life. If you want to drive the slave away now, why not let the slave die..." The mandarin duck knelt in front of Jia Mu and kowtowed repeatedly. The forehead was red and swollen, which made Feng Ziying feel distressed.
Jia Mu was also in tears. She touched Yuanyang's head, shook her head and said, "Yuanyang,..."
Feng Ziying knew that Jia's mother might indeed have good intentions, but this was by no means a good time. This would trap Yuanyang in injustice and make Yuanyang's reputation in the Jia family suddenly ruined. Moreover, with Yuanyang's character, she would probably live with her for the rest of her life. In the midst of self-blame and guilt.
"Old lady, Ziying does like Yuanyang and is willing to have Yuanyang, but it is not suitable now and Yuanyang will not accept it." Feng Ziying smiled and said: "How about this, if Ziying accepts your thanks, it will be Yuanyang's. After the body contract is settled, you can be regarded as my person, but I still let Yuanyang accompany the old lady until Yuanyang feels that his wish is over, and then he comes to my place, what do you think?"
Mother Jia's eyes lit up, and Feng Ziying also knew that the other party understood what she meant, but it seemed that Yuanyang hadn't understood it yet, "If anything happens to Rongguo Mansion in the future, Yuanyang will be considered a member of the Feng family, but he must repay his kindness and follow the old lady." I can help you look after you, and you can also send messages and messages, etc..."
Only then did Yuanyang react. She was ashamed, happy and surprised. She raised her red and swollen eyes and looked at the two of them. Mother Jia finally nodded, but there was a sense of relief and satisfaction in her eyes: "Brother Keng, you are still thoughtful, Jia My family owes you a lot, and I can only repay you by seeing Yingchun and Daiyu come to have a good life."
