Volume 2 This Goes to Xie Mansion Chapter 250, each drifting away
Chapter 250, each drifting away
Man Man walked in with a bouncing in his hand, holding a letter in his hand, saying that it was Changsheng's family letter, Changsheng was overjoyed, and quickly took it, signaled Man Wu to take Jinshu out to play, and then closed the door and began to read the letter.
When the eldest brother Zhou Ansheng left, Changsheng asked him to secretly inquire about the whereabouts of Aunt Mo and several girls in Jinshu Courtyard, and he didn't know what the result was, so she was so anxious. As for other people, such as the clear girl Douhuang, she doesn't have much to do with her, and she doesn't have so much energy to care.
The current situation of the Xie family, the future of life and death is uncertain, and the masters are not yet able to protect themselves, how can they have any energy to care about the former house slaves? The old lady can be ruthless and not ask about Aunt Rui, who has served her for decades since she was a child, and of course she will not care about others.
Although Changsheng is now dependent on others to live, she has no ability to ask about this, let alone inquire, but she just can't rest assured, if the eldest brother doesn't come, she is worried and can't do anything, because the old lady doesn't care, she herself is not good at coming forward, and there is no one to trust, now there is a way, of course she wants to know their whereabouts in order to make her own peace of mind.
After the raid, they were escorted to the prison of the Criminal Department, and the hired servants, maids, embroiderers, cooks, etc. were all dismissed, and the house slaves who signed the deed of sale were not so lucky, and more than 100 of them, regardless of men, women, and children, were sold by the government. As for the end, it depends on the fate of each person, the end of a skill will not be bad, the old and sick can't be sold, the government will not spend money to raise in vain, it is generally driven away, if no one is taken in by relatives and friends, it will become a beggar, wait for the old owner's situation to improve and then defect, the Xie family's situation, even if someone knows it, they will not come to vote, and they will lose their lives.
The most worrying thing about the end is the young girls, if someone continues to buy them as slaves and concubines or be bought by poor families as wives, it is better to be afraid of being sold into the ** building and ruined for life, which is also what Changsheng is most worried about.
Although Zihu has a brother and sister-in-law, her parents died early, and her brother and sister-in-law are ruthless and greedy, where are they willing to pay for her, they will probably only avoid it. Although she is ordinary, she will not be sold into the ** building, but because she was harmed by the Ming and Qing dynasties, it is not finished, whether people buy a wife, a concubine or a girl, they will not want it, and she will either be the most inferior rotten kiln, or a man who is extremely poor or disabled and can't get a wife, no matter which one it is, it is not what Changsheng wants to see.
Sister Winnie and Coke are young, beautiful and smart, and Changsheng hopes that they can be bought by other families to be girls, and they will not fall into any unbearable place.
The eldest brother didn't pay what she entrusted, and sure enough, he asked clearly, and Changsheng was relieved after reading the letter, but he frowned.
These people were sold the day after they were escorted to Beijing. Aunt Tai and Douhuang were the first to sell, and their whereabouts are unknown after the two were bought together. Changsheng is puzzled, Aunt Tai is old and frail, although Douhuang is beautiful, it is not finished, and there are still people who buy them? The princelings are now a scourge in the court, and the former relatives and friends are now too late to avoid the Xie family, who dares not to avoid the suspicion of buying the old slaves of the Xie Mansion? Not to mention others, Xie Mingzhu didn't dare to come forward to buy Ruigu who took care of her growing up in order to avoid suspicion, let alone others? Changsheng can only hope that they can get by, and find them after Mingjing is released from prison.
Zihu's fate was unexpectedly good, and she was bought as a concubine by a poor farmer outside the capital. Zhou Ansheng specially went to inquire, this farmer is only in his early twenties, young and healthy, good character, his wife died of illness and left a son and a daughter, he was worried that marrying another wife would abuse a pair of children, and he couldn't afford to marry a wife, so he wanted to buy a concubine room but couldn't do it, and Zihu because of his ordinary appearance and not a complete wall, all the girls were sold out that day, only she was left, and the people in the government were in a hurry to get rid of it, so the price was very low, just the farmer went into the city to sell vegetables, seeing that Zihu was young and healthy and good-looking, the key is that the price is very low He can afford it, I didn't care if the wall was finished, so I bought it back as a concubine. I heard that the farmer has a good heart, seeing that Zihu is kind and can endure hardships, and loves his young children very much, but he really treats her well, Zihu is now pregnant, although it is a concubine, but the farmer does not marry a wife, except for the name and wife are no different, this family is really not bad except for being poorer. Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief, and was sincerely happy for Zihu, her fate was indeed unexpectedly good, and he secretly thought that he would definitely visit her when he had the opportunity in the future and do his best to help her.
What made her puzzled was that Sister Winnie and Coke Kexi were bought by a person at the same time, and when she heard that he came, she neither looked nor picked, so she directly named these four girls, paid the money and quickly took the carriage and left, there is no way to know who this person is, and Zhou Ansheng can't ask if he spends the money. Let Changsheng be both worried and reassured, reassuring that the other party is a person with an identity, maybe the Xie family is old, in order to avoid the suspicion of the Xie family, he is unwilling to let people know, at least it will never be **Lou, **Lou has added fresh, and people generally have to hype up and solicit business. The question is where will they end? What is the situation now? I can only hope that such a smart and kind person will definitely have a good place.
In any case, knowing their general situation is much better than keeping it in my heart before. In order not to let the old lady suspect it, and to reassure her parents, she burned the letter, and wrote a letter to the house and asked the house to be handed over to Lao Xia to send home at the post station, hoping that they would have a day of reunion.
The days went on so peacefully, in the blink of an eye, it was the month of Layue, the Spring Festival was approaching, and it had been almost a year since Changsheng left his hometown. She knows very well the reason why the old lady is still more generous to herself and Jinshu for the time being, in addition to Jinshu can't do without herself, but also because the Xie family's fortune and misfortune are still uncertain, no teacher dares to come to the door, so she can only cope with teaching Jinwen and Jinshu to read, which is somewhat useful.
Jin Shu was treated favorably because it was not clear what the root cause of the robbery was. Although the days of the villa seem to be isolated from the world, the news of the court is still coming through Xie Mingzhu, because there is no one else, the old lady's eyesight is not good, Lin Xinhui is too busy, most of the letters are read to the old lady, and the reply is also written by her, so she also knows the news of the court clearly, combined with the little historical knowledge she has, she is more and more suspicious of the cause of the disaster, although what Ming Che did to provoke the King of Qin cannot be known for the time being.
According to the bit of history she knows, Li Shimin is not a person who loves to hold grudges. After the Xuanwumen Incident, only the relatives and henchmen of the prince and King Qi really ended badly, and everyone else was either demoted or dismissed, most of the princelings let it go, and there was no settlement after the autumn, of course, there were also reasons for stabilizing the court, and it was not a good thing for the new emperor to ascend the throne and the people were panicked.
Cheng Ziyu's father was a staff member who won Li Jiancheng's trust, and the Cheng family was only exiled, and he was not beheaded all over the house. The famous Wei Zheng in history was also Li Jiancheng's most important person, and before the Xuanwumen Incident, he repeatedly urged Li Jiancheng to kill Li Shimin as soon as possible. However, after the Xuanwumen Incident, Li Shimin cherished his talent, not only did not remember the past grudges, but also entrusted him with important responsibilities, becoming a generation of famous ministers, and the monarchs and ministers jointly achieved the famous Zhenguan rule.
Therefore, although the Ming and Qing dynasties did some things for Li Jiancheng, he was just a petty person in the princelings, and he was not taken seriously by the new emperor at all.
All kinds of court news from Xie Mingzhu, if it was only because of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Xie family would not have been raided at all. Xie Wuya was a strong supporter of King Qin at the beginning, and almost all of the Xie family's property was sold to King Qin for military funds, and later Xie Wuya in order to keep the strategic land of Wugong County for King Qin, he did not hesitate to give up the title and only made a small martial arts county uncle, and when he was dying, he said that the Xie family should be loyal to King Qin no matter what.
Although the old lady and the Ming and Qing dynasties were under the influence of the Pei family, and also judged the situation for the future of the Xie family, they later betrayed the king of Qin against her husband's last words, and stood on the side of the prince very firmly. Despite this, if you don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, it is on this old relationship, and Li Shimin should also let go of the Xie family.
Although the old lady was suspicious of Ming Che, she also knew that Ming Che was a firm Qin king, so she still thought that the Xie family was suffering from herself and the Ming and Qing dynasties, and thought that the new emperor had just ascended the throne and couldn't take care of it for the time being. So for the time being, Jinshu's life in this villa will not be bad, and it can be seen from the fact that the old lady can't forget this unkissed granddaughter when she has any delicious food.
Others don't know, Changsheng judged the situation, became more and more convinced that his suspicions were correct, and became more and more worried, always feeling that the current good life would be lost at any time.
The old lady is already very estranged from Mingche, and because she doesn't like Lin Xinyi and Xiao Jinshu, if she learns the real reason why the Xie Mansion was copied, and knows that Mingche has been rejected by the new emperor, she will definitely not treat Jinshu well, what should she do then? It's good that Mingche and Mingjing can get out of prison, no matter what, they always protect Jinshu, if they can't get out of prison all the time, how can they and Jinshu make a living under the old lady?
If she can stay, it's good to say, that is, she can always protect Jinshu if she suffers some grievances, and the old lady sees that she is dedicated to teaching Jinwen and Jinshu to read, and she may leave some affection for Jinshu, but she is afraid that the old lady will be very angry and dismiss herself and leave Jinshu alone.
At that time, even if she wanted to take Jinshu away, she couldn't do it. The old lady is always Jinshu's grandmother, if Brother Mingche can't get out of prison, she is also her only guardian, if the old lady doesn't want to, no one can take Jinshu from her. She has both the obligation to take care of Jinshu and the obligation to discipline her, even if she abuses her, outsiders can't interfere.
And Mingche's two concubines, Aunt Li and Aunt Mo, will definitely be taken away, that is, to please the old lady to stay, they know that Mingche is hopeless and unpredictable when he gets out of prison, and they all hate Lin Xinyi from the bottom of their hearts, where will they really be good to Jinshu? As long as you don't become an accomplice in order to please the old lady, it's okay, what should you do when you go?
