Yurong was sleeping soundly when she suddenly heard a deafening knock on the door. Yurong scolded angrily: "What are you knocking on the door in the middle of the night?" The Yu family is not in good health, and the Jiang family's chores have always been taken care of by Yurong.

The maid hurriedly walked in and said, "Second lady, it's not good, the old lady is gone." "The old lady is the pillar of the family, and now without the Jiang family, the sky has collapsed.

When Yurong heard this, she scolded angrily: "The old lady is fine in the afternoon, why is it gone? "The reason why Yurong is so angry is because if Jiang Wenrui is gone, he will really become an orphan and a widow. This orphan and widow shall not be bullied to death.

The maid knelt on the ground and cried and said, "Second lady, how dare the slave and maid make up nonsense in such a way. "The old lady is gone, the Jiang family is down, and their future is also worrying.

Yurong was stunned, but she quickly reacted. Father-in-law's afternoon was fine, but this big night was gone, there was something strange about this, she had to figure it out. Changing into filial piety clothes, Yurong went to the front yard to find the big housekeeper. When he knew that his father-in-law was forced to death by Yan Wushuang, Yurong knew that the Jiang family was in trouble.

After so many things, Yurong is much stronger than back then. Since the Jiang family can't be saved, she has to plan for her and her son's future lives. Thinking of this, Yurong immediately sent an escort to find Han Jiancheng. In recent years, Yurong has had frequent contacts with Han Jiancheng. At this time, she only dared to trust Han Jiancheng.

Back in her yard, Yurong packed all her gold and silver jewelry. As for the deed and land deed and silver ticket for the dowry, she carried it closely.

Han Jiancheng was far away from the Jiang family, and when he arrived at the Jiang family, the chickens began to crow.

Yurong waited for Han Jiancheng at the side door, gave the three large packages he carried with him to his entourage, and put the deed paper hidden by him into Han Jiancheng's hand. Yurong held Han Jiancheng's hand and said, "Big brother, this is all my belongings." From now on, I'm going to live on that. ”

The person who went to invite Han Jiancheng only said that Mrs. Jiang had passed away, and did not say anything else. Seeing Yurong's appearance, Han Jiancheng hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

Yurong said: "My father-in-law committed an accident and was known by King Yan, and he committed suicide by taking poison last night. I see that after dawn, the Jiang family will be seized. Big brother, you leave quickly with these things. "Yan Wushuang mostly raided his house and imprisoned most of the officials who committed crimes, and Yurong didn't think that the Jiang family would be an exception.

When Han Jiancheng heard this, he hurriedly put the thick deed paper close to his body, and then said anxiously: "I can take things away, but what should you do with Brother Zheng?"

Han Yurong said: "If Brother Zheng and I are arrested and imprisoned, please ask the eldest brother to ask the third sister to save us." "If you go with Han Jiancheng now, maybe you will implicate him. Rather than this, it is better to wait and see what happens. is really in prison, please Yuchen, she and Brother Zheng should not be in danger of their lives.

Han Jiancheng also knew that the stakes were high, so he didn't stay, and immediately went home with his things. No matter what, it was impossible for Yan Wushuang to go to his house to search for things.

Jiang Kun is worthy of being Jiang Wenrui's most trustworthy person, and when Yu didn't know about Yurong and didn't take care of things, he took care of Jiang Wenrui's affairs properly. When Yurong arrived in the front yard, the mourning hall was all built. Brother Zheng wore a filial piety robe and knelt beside the coffin to watch the paper money burned.

Seeing Yurong, Brother Zheng cried loudly: "Mother, why did you come? Grandpa, grandpa, he's gone." "Jiang Hongfu's children are in Jiangnan, and Brother Zheng is the only grandchild in the capital. Jiang Wenrui naturally likes him very much, and personally enlightens him, and his ancestors and grandchildren have a deep affection.

Yurong said with tears in her eyes: "Mother knows, mother knows." Brother Zheng'er is good, send grandpa on his last journey. "I'm afraid that the old lady will live or die, and I won't be able to rest in peace.

Not long after dawn, officers and soldiers surrounded the entire Jiang family. The leader knew that Yurong was the aunt of the prince of Yan, and said to Han Yurong: "Second Mrs. Jiang, we are on an errand, please forgive me for the offense." ”

Han Yurong hugged his son, who was trembling with fear, and said, "This is the mourning hall, I just hope you don't disturb the peace of the dead." As for the rest, she couldn't stop it.

In addition to the white cloth couplets hanging in the mourning hall, there are only some incense candles and other things left, which are all worthless things. Moreover, these things for the dead, they are not touched by them, and they are unlucky. The man glanced at it and nodded, "Yes." ”

Seeing this, Jiang Kun glanced at Han Yurong gratefully. At this critical moment, he can still maintain the last dignity of the old lady, and it is not in vain for the old lady to maintain the Han family over the years.

Officers and soldiers are like bandits, scavenging everywhere. As long as it is valuable, they will not let it go. Yu Shi originally vomited blood and fainted when he heard the news of Old Lady Jiang's death, and then looked at the officers and soldiers who were as fierce as bandits, and was too frightened, so he followed without mentioning it in one breath.

Yu's coffin has also been prepared a long time ago, and the officers and soldiers of this thing are reluctant to ask for it, for the same reason as before, bad luck.

The entire Jiang family was turned over, and all the valuable things were packed and shipped away. After that, the leader looked for Yurong and said, "Give you three days, and within three days I will send someone to collect the house." ”

Han Yurong was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Please rest assured, we will definitely move out within three days." She also thought that the mother and son would be arrested and sent to prison, but now they don't have to go to prison to just vacate the house, which is not an accident.

The person at the head was very satisfied with Han Yurong's knowledge.

Han Yurong called Jiang Kun and said, "You also heard what the man said just now, first go find a place to store the coffins of the old lady and the old lady." We'll take care of the rest. ”

Jiang Kun said: "Madam, the old lady has an explanation before his death, and asked the old slave to send his coffin back to Jiangnan to be buried in the ancestral house." Three days later, I will take the old lady's coffin back to Jiangnan. "Although the three-day period is a bit rushed, as long as it is properly arranged, there is no problem.

Yurong asked, "What about the old lady?"

Jiang Kun gave Yurong a big gift and said, "The old lady's aftermath, please ask the lady to take care of it." "Now the road is not smooth, he only sent the old lady's coffin back to Jiangnan, it was a little difficult, and Yu couldn't take care of it.

Yurong nodded and said, "I will first place the old lady's coffin in the nunnery, and then I will have the opportunity to help the spirit back to Jiangnan later." "Let's just say this, who knows what the situation will be in the future. And Yurong never planned to go to Jiangnan. In the capital, she has brothers and sisters to rely on, and when she went to Jiangnan, she didn't know anyone well, and the orphans and widows encountered something that really made the earth and the earth not work every day.

When he returned to the backyard and saw that his house was like a locust crossing the border, there was nothing, and Yurong felt a little uncomfortable. However, thinking that the money handed over to Han Jiancheng was enough for her and Brother Zheng to have no worries about food and clothing, she felt a little comforted in her heart.

That night, many of the Jiang family's subordinates ran away at night. Yurong didn't care about it after knowing it, and said, "Let them go!"

Mr. Gao got the news and invited two female dart masters to follow Yurong and Brother Zheng at a high price, he was afraid that someone would take advantage of the chaos to be unfavorable to Yurong's mother and son. There is a dart master to ensure the safety of the couple. Facts have proved that Mr. Gao's worries are not superfluous, and someone really has the idea of beating Yurong and Brother Zheng. Fortunately, there was a female dart master, and this matter passed without danger.

On the morning of the second day, Jiang Kun helped Ling to return to Jiangnan. Yurong took the coffin of Brother Zheng'er and sent it to the nunnery.

After Yu's coffin was settled, Yurong took Brother Zheng and followed Han Jiancheng back to his house.

Lu led the two to a small courtyard. Lu Shi said apologetically: "Fifth sister, the place is a little small, don't dislike it." "The house they live in is not small, but there are many people living in the house, so it is a little crowded.

At this time, Yurong would still be picky, and choked up: "What did my sister-in-law say? And I mean it from the bottom of my heart. Orphans and widows are the easiest to be bullied, the Jiang family has been completely defeated, and she can only rely on Han Jiancheng before Brother Zheng grows up.

Lu Shi held Yurong's hand and said, "Don't think about it, you still have Brother Zheng." For his sake, you have to be good too. "The Lu family also suffered at the beginning, so the Lu family felt the same way.

Yurong wiped her tears and said, "I know, thank you sister-in-law." ”

Although the courtyard is small, it also has six rooms, plus a firewood room and a small kitchen, which can be said to be fully equipped.

The personal maid Honghua turned around, and whispered to Yurong: "Madam, the kitchen is very clean, are we going to open the fire ourselves in the future?" Yurong has suffered so much and learned to be obedient, and now the two maids around her are what she bought from Renyazi. She was not very old when she bought it, and she was very loyal to her after all these years of training, so she only took these two maids with her when she returned to her parents' house this time.

Yurong said: "Well, we will fire ourselves in the future." If you want to eat, just ask the purchase office to buy it. "I want to live in my mother's house because I want to get the protection of my eldest brother, but I don't want my eldest brother to support their mother and son.

Honghua nodded and didn't ask any more.

In the evening, Han Jiancheng came over, took out the things that Yurong had given him before and returned them to Yurong, and said, "You are also tired these days, take a good rest." In the future, I will live at home with Ah Zheng'an peace of mind. ”

Yurong held a thick stack of deed papers, and said with some uneasiness: "Big brother, do you think the people from the government will come after you to ask for these things?"

Han Jiancheng said: "Didn't you say that these are your dowries? The implication of Han Jiancheng's words is that if there is the Jiang family's industry here, it is uncertain.

Yurong hurriedly said: "These are my dowries, and the contract is also my name." "Over the years, the Yurong housekeeper has made a lot of oil and water from the public, Jiang Wenrui and the Yu family both know it, but both of them have turned a blind eye. Yurong began to exchange the money he got for shops and fields, and later felt that the situation was not right, so he didn't buy any more properties, and saved them.

Han Jian said, "Then there's nothing to worry about. By the way, do you have a silver ticket in your hand?" Seeing Yurong nodding, Han Jiancheng said: "I don't know what the situation will be in the future, I think it's better to exchange it for cash." ”

Yurong was a little surprised, and asked, "Big brother, is it time to start fighting again?" If this is the case, then we need to save some food!" During the war, the price of grain rose so much that sometimes even silver could not buy food.

Han Jiancheng nodded and said, "I want to buy a small house nearby, and then dig a cellar to store grain." "The situation outside is not good, and Han Jiancheng also has a sense of crisis.

Yurong asked, "Big brother, is the money on hand not suitable?" Seeing Han Jiancheng nodding, Yurong gave Han Jiancheng all the silver tickets of four thousand two or five hundred taels in his hand, and said, "Big brother, you can use these." ”

Han Jiancheng took the silver ticket and said: "I only have two thousand taels left, I will use this first, and I will return it to you if I have money in the future, and I will exchange the rest for you in cash." ”

Yurong said: "The eldest brother said this is too outward, what else is there to pay back, I am also for myself and Brother Zheng." By the way, big brother, don't let your sister-in-law know about this!"

Han Jiancheng was a little hesitant.

Yurong said: "Big brother, don't blame me for speaking ugly. The sister-in-law is a good one, but the Lu family is a bottomless pit. In the past few years, how much money has my sister-in-law subsidized, I'm afraid that there is not much dowry now, right?" There are sixteen people in the Lu family's big house, and they don't have to produce, so they all rely on his sister-in-law to make up for it. And these people are also picky, and this year's expenses are not small.

Han Jiancheng was silent and said, "It's not easy for your sister-in-law. "The old lady of the Lu family always comes to complain about her hardships and cry poor, how can the Lu family be hard-hearted as a daughter.

Yurong snorted lightly and said, "Big brother, I have nothing to say that my sister-in-law is willing to use the dowry to supplement her mother's family, but she can't take the Han family's money to her mother's family." It's still peaceful, but if there is chaos in the future, according to what the eldest brother said, will you still have to help them? If you don't help them, and they know that we have hidden food, they will definitely bring disaster to them. After speaking, Yurong looked at Han Jiancheng and said, "Big brother, I'm not alarmist. The sister-in-law's mother and her sister-in-law were not good things, and when they came out of the prison that day, they were able to drive away the penniless second master and wife of the Han family. Big brother, the second master of the Lu family was not kind to them before the accident. "Such an ungrateful person, Yurong disdains to associate with it.

Han Jiancheng thought for a while and said, "I'll tell your sister-in-law that I bought the house for you, so she won't be suspicious." "Han Jiancheng is not a holy father, and it is not good for his wife to take most of the dowry to supplement her mother's family, how can he be comfortable in his heart! It's just that it is all his wife's dowry silver, and he can't say anything as a big man.

Yurong nodded and said, "That's fine, the people of the Lu family know that there is nothing to say." ”

Seeing Han Jiancheng away, Yurong sat on the chair and sighed softly.

Honghua took a glass of water and handed it to Yurong, and said, "Madame is worried about the people of the Lu family?" After more than ten members of the Lu family were in trouble, they didn't find a way to make a living by themselves, and it was enough to rely on the girl who got married.

Yurong shook his head and said, "No matter how the Lu family is, it can't involve me. "She lives in her mother's house, and she is not raised by her mother's family, but she is not afraid of the insatiable people of the Lu family.

Honghua was a little puzzled and asked, "What is the lady sighing for?" The Jiang family was defeated, and Yurong didn't look much decadent. So now it's like this, which makes Honghua feel weird.

Yurong said: "I just remember what happened when I was a child. Think about the third sister and the fourth sister, and then look at myself. "She is the most unsuccessful of the three sisters.

Honghua was relieved: "Madam, I don't think the third aunt and grandmother may have a good life. Maybe she's not as good as your wife!" "There are a lot of warblers and Yanyan in King Yan's mansion, and the third aunt and grandmother are famous for not caring about things, how can they live well!"

Yurong smiled bitterly: "What kind of good am I, it's the fourth sister who is really doing well." I think I used to provoke her from time to time, I'm afraid she didn't pay attention to my little actions that day!"

Honghua didn't know how to persuade: "Madam, it's getting late, it's time to rest." "Princess Pingxi, such a character is too far away from them.

Yurong muttered: "At that time, I was ignorant and didn't know that sisters should stay together. "If I had a good relationship with Yuchen and Yuxi when I was young, I would not have to worry about it now and in the future. Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine to take in this world.

PS: Everyone is changing, and Yurong is no exception.
