Chapter 234: Small Courtyard
Chapter 234
What the Chen family has left behind is not only nearly half of the family assets, but also the authority and dignity of the past. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
This truth is understood by Zhihua, by Master Chen, and by the old lady of the Yuan family......
As the night approached dark, the eldest lady Shi brought back the news that Governor Yuan had been imprisoned.
"The daughter-in-law has been waiting until now, and the prince has been by the side of the long-lived lord and has not returned. It was Lord Guerjia who died, and the concubine Rong Niangniang in the palace was injured, and it is said that the emperor had a big temper, and he picked off the eldest lord's crown flower feather on the spot......" Shi Shi said and couldn't help but pull out a handkerchief to wipe his tears.
What she didn't say was when she was waiting for news at Zhang Jia's side Fujin.
The Shi family had already borrowed people to send news to his mother's family in the capital.
How to settle the case of the eldest master, if you have to plan a way out for your children first, especially when the eldest daughter has only reached the age of Huaxin, she will be delayed by herself.
Thinking of the previous letter from my mother to tempt her, she intended to give her eldest daughter to the sister-in-law of the third brother's family.
Shi didn't understand it, and he didn't complain in his heart: I didn't know what the situation of the Yuan family in Jiangnan was, and a few sisters in the family still pushed her book out to test the waters.
Now that she is having a good time, she thinks that the fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, and she wants to take back the eldest daughter with the dowry!
Don't think too well, don't complain too much in Shi's heart.
At this moment and then, now thinking back to his own decision, Shi almost regretted his intestines.
Old Madam Yuan Rao was prepared, her heart sank, and she couldn't speak.
The second master took advantage of the hazy night to personally watch the two loyal servants drive the carriage out of the city gate.
When I come back, I will go and say hello to Mrs. Yuan.
"Mother, the matter of the eldest brother has not yet been decided, and the Pingguo Mansion is not as decent as the head of the palace in front of the royal family. After this trip, wouldn't it be troublesome if people didn't dare to take over? As soon as the second master came back, he also got the news of Governor Yuan, and his mood was indescribably depressed.
Old Madam Yuan thought about it, the old lady in the Pingguo Mansion she had seen when she was young. seemed to be a little disdainful and dazed: "It's really without the dignity in front of the royal family, so I am more willing to succeed, after all, wealth is moving......
Could it be that the Pingguo Mansion will still be marked with the objects stored at home?
The second master was shocked, stood up and said angrily: "Good courage, they should be saving people in danger, if something really happens, it is not to take advantage of the fire to rob." ”
"When will your temper change? If it weren't for their family's greed, what if we would have moved the silver from the treasury out and put it on the street, how many people would dare to come out and pick it up? Old Madam Yuan hated him and waved his hand to drive him out.
was still scolded by his mother, the second master was unspeakably depressed in his heart, and he retired in frustration.
As soon as he went out, the maid quietly brought a big bowl of soup and medicine, and persuaded in a low voice: "Ancestor, this is still the prescription that the doctor came to prescribe last time, let's invite the doctor to come over and have a look!" ”
The old ancestor's palpitations were committed again, but the eldest master couldn't come back, and the second master didn't take care of it.
Old Madam Yuan was afraid that the big guy who was disturbing would be restless, so she dragged her sick body to stand up, how good is this.
But at this time, where can Mrs. Yuan still take care of her body, she has a faint premonition, I am afraid that this thing will not be good.
instructed the maid to grind, personally wrote a letter, sealed the lacquer mouth, and told her to put it away carefully, waiting for one to take out and hand it over to the eldest lady for arrangement.
Old Madam Yuan is older than the person who sent things over, so she must meet the master of Pingguo Gong and leave a seal as required.
Otherwise, even if the box is carried to Dali Temple to surrender, it cannot be left to the Pingguo Mansion.
This is already the worst plan, after all, the old woman has not seen her for many years, and she can't say what kind of temper she has at the moment. Who knows that in the end, thanks to Mrs. Yuan, she kept such a hand, otherwise the thing would have been deceived by others in vain.
At the end of the next day, Concubine Rong woke up leisurely, and the heart that Qianlong Ye was carrying fell to the ground.
The doctor said, 'As long as the mother wakes up, the rest is to slowly recuperate'. The emperor also understands this truth, and the reward of Yishui is even more to move to Rong Concubine without money.
But before Qianlong Ye completely relaxed, there was no good news about the results of the guards' returns.
First of all, the third prince Zhu and others ran away after such a scene, and a group of guards chased out the slightest useful news and did not come back.
It's as if they made a hole and disappeared out of thin air. Lord Qianlong has never suffered such a big loss, and the degree of anger and anger can be imagined;
Another piece of news proves that the guards are useful. The thieves who killed Guerjia Atai and Zhu San were not a group of people at all, and it turned out that there were still people who wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob.
Thinking about it again, he didn't have to follow all the guards left by him, but coincidentally, the people in Governor Yuan's yamen didn't see it.
Qianlong Ye has been in business for so many years, and he didn't believe in such a coincidental 'coincidence'.
In line with the principle of 'it is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let go of one', the emperor's anger sentenced the Yuan family's property to be confiscated on the spot, and all adult men were exiled.
The rest of the women and children did not move, and the right should be the last bit of dignity left for the Jiangnan family.
Under the nest, there are no eggs.
What's more, on the day when the old men of the Yuan family were escorted out of the city, the old woman of the Yuan family, Chen, was in a state of anxiety and anger, and she went with her.
The Zuo family can gain a firm foothold in Shilin, and the most important thing is reputation.
Not to mention taking the second wife, mother and son back, and not even a housekeeper came out to say a word of greeting that day.
People go to tea and cool, it's really nothing more than that.
Just when the two Yuan family concubines had nothing to rely on, fortunately, the slaves who had turned back from the capital arrived.
A thin piece of paper, on which is printed is the private seal of Mrs. Yuan, who is now in charge of the Pingguo Mansion.
The mother's family didn't wait, but Shi was relieved after all, and after taking the old lady's explanation and discussing it with the second wife, he arranged for several girls in the family to go to Beijing.
Only the three young ladies of the Yuan family left, leaving the Shi family and the left one to guard the young grandson, and the other to guard the second child and live in Jiangnan.
The people who raided the house didn't look at the dowry list, and they barely left a little bit of personal silver around the female dependents, and even the title deed of this small courtyard where they are now settled was sent by Mu Ling, who was next to the eldest girl of the Chen family.
The original story is that the eldest girl of their family got the news of the death of the old lady of the Yuan family, and she fell ill when she was too sad.
I also hope that the two ladies will not dislike their girls' intentions, this courtyard is a little small, and it should be a temporary place to stay.
