Chapter 268: The Mother of the Son Travels Thousands of Miles is worried

Although the relocation of the capital is imminent, Nanjing is still a prosperous and peaceful scene. Until now, there are still many court officials who think that the ancient capital of the six dynasties is the most suitable place for the capital in the whole world, but Zhu Di is the temperament of the nine cows that can't be pulled back, and the officials who advised and opposed it did not end well, and they had to watch the ministries and institutes move to the north one after another. Therefore, in order to try to stay in Nanjing, many people even often ran to the East Palace and the Chengguo Mansion.

In contrast, Zhang Zhuo, the county magistrate of Jiangning, is only a seven-rank sesame official, so he doesn't have to bother jumping up and down like other officials. Only he is in the imperial capital, everyone is a Shangguan, and more than half of the days when he is sent to entertain outside the county are ushered in, which is really difficult for the county. If it weren't for his strong backing, and Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, taking care of him in many ways, just because he was an official for the first time, this mistake could make people pick out a lot.

In the Ming system, where there are officials, they do not live in the official room in the public party, and those who live in the public house on the street have eighty rods, so he and the Sun family naturally live in the Jiangning County Ya. Because it is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, this Jiangning County Ya is more than twice as large as the ordinary Shang County Ya, and there are many houses in the back ya, and all the family members and servants are easily placed. Without the mother-in-law and concubine, Sun's life was comfortable, that is, when the concubine Hongluan was diagnosed with pregnancy, she was a little annoyed, but it was over.

Zhang You and his wife are in love, and they know that Sun's heart is quite high, and his heart is limited, so most of his son's situation as an official outside is hidden from his wife. Therefore, the Sun family only regarded Zhang Yue as stable in office, and did not know that the Du family and the Meng family had accidents one after another. She only cares about taking care of her daughter on weekdays, and is cautious about keeping the house, but she rarely interacts with other women.

On this day, she was in the room and the two girls of pearl peony were picking and choosing among a few silk satins, preparing to make two new belly pockets for her daughter, when she suddenly heard a young daughter-in-law outside the door: "Mrs., the uncle outside is here, saying that he specially opened the seal to see his wife!" ”

Upon hearing this, Sun was stunned. Her ancestors are also eunuchs, although her father is not a scholar, but the family is still well-off, and it is also a big family in Kaifeng Mansion, so she will marry the Zhang family at the beginning. However, after the death of her father, the two brothers divided the family property, but no one paid attention to her sister, who was not welcomed in the Zhang family. It wasn't until her husband and son were born in the imperial examination that they often sent some things, but their affection for each other had long since faded.

Casually putting down a cocoon silk in her hand, she couldn't help but sneer: "Specially come to see me? I think when I was anxious about Brother Yue's illness, where were they? Where were they when I was angry everywhere in my house? Where were they when I went home and begged them to try to help me? At this time, I deliberately came to see me from Kaifeng, but I don't see it! ”

Pearl knew that Sun was talking angrily, so she hurriedly stood up and persuaded: "Madam, since the eldest uncle came from Kaifeng specially, no matter what it is, you should always see it, otherwise it is not good for people to gossip." If it wasn't a big deal, his wife would have answered him; If there is something difficult, the wife just pushes it, and others have nothing to say. The eldest wife and the second wife's maiden family are all well-known families, and they are quite helpful to them on weekdays. Now that the old man and the young master have made achievements, why not help her mother's family. ”

"I'm afraid they can't support Liu Adou!" Sun said this, but his heart was still moved by Pearl's words, and he glanced at her and smiled, "Since you said so, go out with me to meet him." Peony stay here and pick again, pick two horses with no thread, and wait for me to come back before using the needle. ”

Peony hurriedly responded, and Pearl smiled and followed Sun out of the house. Because this is a relative of the family, Sun ordered to meet guests in the small flower hall. As soon as she stepped into the threshold, she saw her eldest brother Sun Fengwei sitting on the first chair on the left. I saw that he was wearing a Weiluo Huayang scarf on his head, a tide blue gauze shirt, a stone blue silk tie around his waist, and a pair of gray black cloth shoes under his feet, which looked much older than a few years ago.

Seeing the Sun family coming in, Sun Fengwei was stunned for a moment, and then got up to greet him with a smile on his face: "Third sister." ”

Sun hated the old things in the past, and only lightly agreed at this time, seeing that Sun Feng was still sitting alone, she couldn't help frowning. She is a woman's family, so it naturally doesn't matter if she sees her own brother, but what is she doing when she sees an outsider for no reason? At that moment, she asked with a calm face: "Big brother, you came here, why did you bring others?" ”

"Where is the outsider, this is our cousin who is not out of Wufu, the fourth brother Sun Fengjia, you saw it at home when you were a child, how did you forget?" Sun Fengwei didn't seem to see Sun's cold look, and looked at the person who looked down while saying, "The fourth brother's family has always lived in the western part of Zhejiang, and he happened to meet me when he went to Henan some time ago, so I thought about going to Beijing to see you." Actually, I've wanted to come for a long time, but you also know that my family has a large population, and it takes a lot of ...... to eat, drink, and chew."

Hearing Sun Fengwei say this, Sun felt even more angry. At this time, Sun Fengjia stood up, he was wearing an azure wide-sleeved gauze robe, wearing a dragon scale gauze scarf on his head, tidying up neatly, and politely stepped forward to meet him. Sun didn't know what kind of way this cousin he hadn't met for a long time was, so he was busy returning the salute. After a polite exchange of words between the two sides, she saw Sun Fengjia holding a red carved lacquer box from the small table next to her.

"Third sister, I have been living in western Zhejiang, but I haven't been back to Kaifeng for a long time, you have never caught up with all kinds of major events when you got married, and it was also this time that I returned to Kaifeng and happened to bump into the seventh brother, so I knew that the two families are so close now. I haven't seen you for many years, this is a little bit of my heart, it's all a specialty of western Zhejiang, don't laugh at the third sister, I'll just pick some worthless things. ”

Stretch out your hand not to hit the smiling person, and besides, what Sun hated was only the brother who was ruthless at the beginning, and he didn't have any dislike for Sun Fengjia. At this time, hearing him say politely, she hurriedly thanked her, signaled the pearl beside her to reach out and take it, and then sat on the main seat on the west side of the head. After the guest and host sat down again, Sun Feng had to salivate and say that his family was getting worse now, and the cost of marrying his children was huge, and at the end he was cheeky and said that the Sun family was blessed.

"It wasn't that I didn't mean not to go to the door of the Zhang family at the beginning, but I was really embarrassed to fall into the middle of the family. Zhang's house is the first door in Kaifeng, that old lady has big rules, am I not afraid of losing your face? Now that my brother-in-law and nephew are promising, the third sister, you should be the wife of the official, and I am also happy for you from the bottom of my heart. I heard that my nephew is now very favored, and he went back to Beijing a few days ago, and now he went to Qingzhou as a messenger, and he will definitely have a bright future in the future......"

Sun was originally quite happy to hear it, but when her brother talked more and more, she actually mentioned that Zhang Yue returned to Beijing, and then went to Qingzhou, and her face suddenly changed greatly. A few days ago, her son sent a letter, and Zhang You read the letter with her, how could she not mention these things at all, Zhang You even said that his son did a good job in Qingzhou, safe and sound? For a while, she only felt that her heart was numb, and she didn't listen to Sun Fengwei's set of compliments.

Sun Fengwei never noticed her distraction, but Sun Fengjia was keenly aware of it. He didn't come here just to climb this rich relative, but to ask for something else, so he coughed lightly and interrupted Sun Fengwei's endless touting. Seeing that Sun's face was stunned, and he might not be able to hear what he said, he simply stood up and gave Sun a deep look: "Third sister, today I came to the door with my seventh brother, in fact, there is still a big thing to ask for, I hope you can help!" ”

Seeing that Sun was still stunned, Pearl hurriedly gently pushed her arm beside her and reminded in a low voice, "Madam! ”

At this moment, Sun's heart was full of sons, and when she came back to her senses and saw Sun Fengjia rushing to the ground, she came back to her senses, and hurriedly stood up and said: "Fourth brother, please get up quickly, if there is something to say, I will naturally help if I can help." It's just that I'm a woman's family, and I never care about outside things, if there is really anything important, it has to be decided by my master. ”

"Third sister, I can't hide it, I also knew that my son and Ling Lang were the same Jinshi, and they both took office in Shandong by coincidence. It's just that he is impatient and arrogant, and his boss, colleagues, and subordinates don't get along well, and he was actually imprisoned for doing something wrong. I've spent so much effort and never asked about him, so I'm cheeky enough to ask for your help. I don't ask him to keep any official position, I just want him to save his life, and I, as a father, will be satisfied! ”

Sun never expected that Sun Fengjia would beg for this, and suddenly the six gods were ownerless. She is now also full of thoughts about her son, and she lives by herself, Sun Fengjia's son is locked up in Jinyiwei's prison and his life and death are uncertain, so he is naturally even more worried. However, at the beginning, Zhang Xin spent countless efforts on the family in order to get rid of the crime, even if she wanted to help, where did she have this ability?

After thinking about it, she had to say with a face full of embarrassment: "Fourth brother, it's not that I don't want to help, it's really difficult to find a way in Jinyiwei's place, my lord is only a seventh-grade official......"

Before he finished speaking, Sun Fengwei on the side hurriedly said: "Third sister, don't underestimate your brother-in-law, when I was in Kaifeng, I once saw my brother-in-law and Yuan Qianhu from the Henan Health Center having eaten at the same table, and they looked extremely intimate. That Yuan Qianhu is now Yuan's commander, if there is a word from his brother-in-law, isn't this thing very easy to do? Besides, of course the fourth brother won't let you help plainly, for the sake of his son, he will not hesitate to do anything about the family property, fourth brother, don't you say? ”

Sun Fengjia only wanted to grasp the only life-saving straw at the moment, so he simply took advantage of the situation and knelt down: "Third sister, I also know that this matter has a lot to do with it, but I hope you will save my son." If there is a place to go, I will find as many places as I want. I only have such a son, if he has three longs and two shorts, our husband and wife will not be able to live......"

In the face of this bitter pleading, Sun thought of Zhang Yue who was far away for a while, and couldn't help but feel like a knife. Sun Fengjia, the cousin here, did everything to save his son, but what about her own son? Is everything really safe now?
