======================================
After Mrs. Xie went back yesterday, Xie Yuze remembered the friendship between master and apprentice, and because Mrs. Xie took pity on Zhen Lin, hinting that several royal historians with good relationships pushed the fault to the Cheng family, although the impact on Zhen Lin was irreparable, but it was better to say that it was the man's fault than to be splashed with dirty water.
In the last trouble in the Jinluan Palace, Xie Yuze suddenly realized that many of the Pei family's efforts to help the Cheng family speak, were from the Six Princes' faction.
How can Cheng Langyuan ask the supporters of the six princes of Empress Zhang's concubine to speak for him? The answer is obvious.
Zhen Xuan's eyes drooped when she heard this, she couldn't bear to see Zhen Lin's reaction, even she felt so sad that she couldn't breathe, let alone Zhen Lin.
It turns out that after reaching the most difficult time, no matter how deep the feelings are, they can't withstand fame and fortune after all.
I want Cheng Langyuan and the eldest master to study in the academy together, go to Beijing to take the exam together, and be named on the gold list together, but one stays in the capital because of the family's legacy, and the other has a perennial release that I don't know when I will be able to enter Beijing and stay in office.
Jealousy is the beginning of the darkest emotions in the depths of human nature, and once you start to be jealous, you don't care about anything.
The fifth old man also darkened his eyes as he spoke, he remembered the expression of the eldest master when he heard Xie Yuze say these things just now, and he couldn't help but feel sad.
The eldest lord held his wrist before he had the strength to speak, and he said: "I know that he has always wanted to enter Beijing, and he has always asked me to dredge." Over the years, I have helped everywhere I can, but the factional struggle is fierce, and there are people staring at the large and small seats in the capital, where can I be a neutral person so easily arrange for him. This time he finally got a position in Zhan Shifucheng, I am happy for him, especially happy for him, I think he has survived. Who knew that he had taken refuge in the Zhang family! Yes! Everyone has their own ambitions, and I won't say anything about him. ”
Speaking of this, the eldest man coughed a few times, and his hands kept shaking: "Just why, why do you treat my four girls like this?" The four girls were born and raised by him, how could he be ruthless enough to harm her for the rest of her life! ”
Xie Yuze sneered at Cheng Langyuan: "If he doesn't stage a drama that shocks the whole city, how can he sit firmly in the position of the dog's leg of the Zhang family?" ”
"How does the emperor judge?" The eldest lord asked anxiously.
Xie Yuze shook his head and sighed: "The emperor didn't say anything, but I looked at it and was very dissatisfied." It's just that the storage position has not been decided, and the emperor will not punish the people of the six princes now, which will ruin the balance. But what you think of the six princes in your heart is not something that we courtiers can infer in vain. ”
After the fifth master said this, he looked at the thoughtful expressions of the people in the room, thought about it and added: "Lord Xie said that this matter is done so undignified, it is not good for the six princes, it is estimated that it is the result of being targeted, and several princes are tilting their designs with each other." Take pity on our four girls and become their pawns. ”
The answer is already in front of us, but even so, there is still no solution.
Even if he relies on public opinion to help Zhenlin recover some, it will only be like this in this life. Unless you wait until the day when the Cheng family is criticized, you can have a saying, but on that day, who knows how many years Lu Dao will ask Zhen Lin to wait?
Duan Shi blinked his blood-red eyes, forced his tears back, patted Zhen Lin's hand, and said, "Four girls, you have to remember what you promised me just now, we don't care what those men do, we live our own lives." When we go back to Yongzhou, naturally the old lady is in charge, don't be afraid. ”
Zhen Lin nodded emphatically.
On the tenth day of the first month of May, the hottest topic in the streets and alleys of the capital is no longer Pei Shilang's daughter who was dismissed when she got on the sedan chair, but the injury of the rich businessman who was injured by the maiden nephew of Emperor Deng Guifei before.
Master Shangshubai of the Ministry of Rites was still kept in the dark at first, and after knowing that he was angry, he sent someone to Hualou to catch his son back, but the result was a lot of trouble, and the old bustard of Hualou also reported to the official.
For a while, the city was full of wind and rain, the people were watching jokes, and there was something new to say in the imperial history, and Lord Bai in the Jinluan Palace kowtowed and confessed his guilt.
When Master Pei heard this, he also understood in his heart that this was all arranged by Xie Yuze in order to make those people no longer worry about Zhenlin's affairs, and he knew that a few girls would indeed no longer have a good place to belong in Beijing, so he promised to let the Duan family take them back.
The day of the return trip was set for the end of May, and the time was tight, and everyone was busy packing their things.
Zhen Lin's dowry was left in the capital, and she didn't bring it, first, to travel lightly, and secondly, to see things and thoughts, which added to the boredom.
Zhen Xuan didn't have many things, so she packed them up early.
On May 28, the seventh master, Zhen Che, Zhen Hui, and Zhen De saw them off, and the fifth master, his wife, and sister-in-law returned to Yongzhou with several children.
Duan was afraid that Zhende would cause trouble, so he specially instructed: "Even if you hear someone talking nonsense, don't pay attention to it." Just study, be angry, no matter what happens to the four girls in the future, they have to rely on you as a younger brother. ”
Zhenhuan tearfully said goodbye to Zhenhui and followed the sisters on the boat.
Zhen Xuan's seasickness this time was not as bad as the first time, but in the end, she was not in the mood to go for a walk on the deck, stay in her own room, and occasionally go to talk to Zhen Lin.
It will be Yongzhou in another night, Zhen Xuan was just about to get up and come out of Zhen Lin, but was stopped by Zhen Lin: "Seventh sister......"
Zhen Lin frowned, as if she had made a lot of determination, Zhen Xuan did not urge, and waited for Zhen Lin to speak slowly.
"I know that on the day I was divorced, I should have cut myself off." Zhen Lin said very lightly, but the content of her words still made Hua Lu Hua Ji startled, and looked at Zhen Lin in a daze, Zhen Lin didn't realize it, and continued, "I'm broken, and you can talk about a good family again." But I sat all night, and I couldn't get that hand. ”
Zhen Xuan clenched Zhen Lin's hand, only to feel that her fingertips were cold: "Fourth sister......"
"Call me cowardly or selfish, I don't dare to die like this. If I die, what will happen to my father and mother? What should the old lady do? The white-haired man sent the black-haired man ......" Zhen Lin took a deep breath and shook Zhen Xuan's hand when she said this, "I am trying to make a living, but I want to burden you." I know that none of you will blame me now, if I really die, it will be worthless for me, but in the future, when your marriage is blocked, what will you think of me? ”
It's not a temptation, it's not a retreat, it's really hesitating, it's really worrying, between the two dilemmas, Zhen Lin can't die calmly, she wants to live, but she is even more afraid of being spurned by her sisters in the future.
Zhen Xuan held Zhen Lin in her arms and said softly: "Fourth sister, there is not only one way to commit suicide, the eldest uncle and grandmother will come up with a way, we just need you to live well." ”
Zhen Lin didn't speak again, and leaned against Zhen Xuan with her eyes down.
At noon on the second day, the big ship docked, did not stop long, got into the carriage and rushed all the way to Yongzhou. It took another two whole days to finally enter Yongzhou City.
The Pei family's old house had already received a letter from the fast horse whip back in Beijing, and the door was opened quickly, and the carriage stopped outside Qingrong Hall, and it was too late to freshen up when they got off the car, so everyone went to the old lady's house.
At the same time, Mrs. Jiang came with the help of Zhenjiao, and the Ji family also accompanied Mrs. Li into Qingrong Hall, and the Zhou family was busy.
After waiting for a few old ladies to sit down, Duan took Zhen Lin to kneel, hanging his head and listening to Mrs. Ma's instructions.
Old Mrs. Ma didn't look at Duan, but only stopped at Zhen Lin, the most blessed and sensible of all her granddaughters, who originally thought that she didn't need to worry about the most, but suffered such a disaster.
I haven't seen her for half a year, and Mrs. Ma's voice has aged a lot: "It's not clear in the letter, Old Five, tell me again, what's going on in the capital now?" ”
The fifth master responded, and talked in detail about the dispute between several princes for succession, and also said the reason for the Cheng family's divorce.
Mrs. Ma was sad when she heard this, and slapped a few times: "Cheng Langyuan, Cheng Langyuan, I have called my mother for more than ten years, but she is a white-eyed wolf at the end." Good! That's pretty good! After saying this, Mrs. Ma stared at Zhen Lin with a sharp look in her eyes, and said, "Four girls, this is your life, don't hate, your surname is Pei, the young lady of the Pei family is delicious and drunk to this age, and you have to take responsibility." ”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this sentence.
Zhen Xuan looked at Mrs. Ma, afraid that her old man would spit out that sentence; Aunt Li was shocked, and suddenly remembered what Aunt He said to Zhenke at that time.
Duan's face turned pale, she wanted to keep this daughter no matter what, she kowtowed three times, and said with a crying voice: "Old lady, the daughter-in-law has thought about it, and the daughter-in-law sent the four girls to the nunnery outside the city, and asked her to become a monk and recite the peace sutra for the whole family." ”
How could Mrs. Ma not know that the Duan family wanted to fight for Zhen Lin in front of her, and she was reluctant in her heart, looking at Zhen Lin who was kneeling there without a little fear and grievance, and there was a burst of pain: "My old woman is so old, is she willing to do this kind of thing?" Count it yourself, how many are down there? There are still six people who haven't gotten on the sedan chair! It's not just us Qingrongtang, Qingde, Qingfu, Qinghe, Qing'an, which one has no girl? ”
Duan's body shook and was about to fall, and he looked at Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Li pleadingly: "Two uncles ......"
"Sister-in-law......" Mrs. Li was the first to speak, she and Mrs. Ma were too young and concubine, how could they not guess her thoughts. Mrs. Ma was reluctant in every way, but she couldn't let go of her mouth first, and she had to open her mouth by the other people in the other rooms before she could go down the pole. In all fairness, Zhen Xuan is about to say goodbye, but if she wants to force the sensible and gentle Zhen Lin to die, she can't do it, so it is better to sell Mrs. Li a favor.
