Chapter 674: Aunt and Nephew Whispering
「…… I was sent to Yangzhou before my cousin came to see me, saying that the person who bought me was a friend of my father's life, and that he was actually sheltering me...... I believed! On the way, I heard the official mention that my aunt and cousin had sold me to Yanliu Lane in Yangzhou, and at first I naturally didn't believe that my aunt and cousin would be so vicious. I thought it was those officials who deceived me, and I didn't believe it even when I arrived in Yangzhou......
Zhen continued to reminisce.
It wasn't until the Bai family ransomed her that she knew more details.
Originally, the second room master of Zhen's mansion in Yangzhou was also a friend of Zhen's father, and he really wanted to buy Zhen home as a daughter.
But she was stopped by the old lady of the Zhenguo Mansion, and sold her to Yangzhou Yanliu Lane with her cousin.
When the Bai family learned of the accident in Zhen's mansion, they rushed to the capital from Huaicheng to visit, and rescued Grandma Du and Aunt Chen Zhen Rong, who were also sold to Yangzhou by the old lady.
The Bai family went to the capital to look for Zhen's, and from the old lady's subordinates, they learned that Zhen's had been sold to Yanliu Lane in Yangzhou.
"Fu'er, my aunt will definitely get justice for you, you believe me." The Queen Mother's eyes were filled with tears, and she stabilized her emotions and said, "I will definitely not let you wait too long."
"I believe Auntie." Zhen said.
"Sister-in-law for so many years, I have mistaken her, I never imagined that she would attack you." The Queen Mother gritted her teeth and said.
Zhen smiled.
She didn't understand it before.
Compared with her mother's sternness, the eldest aunt is always gentle and kind, never angry.
Back then, in Zhen's Mansion, from top to bottom, it was the eldest aunt who was more popular.
Even she is closer to her aunt.
I didn't expect such an honest and honest person to hide a femme fatale.
The eldest aunt can also figure it out if she has such a mind.
When the uncle died, the eldest aunt was pregnant with a posthumous son, and the huge marquis mansion could not be left unmanned, so the emperor at that time let the second room inherit the title of the Duke of Zhenguo.
The eldest aunt was naturally unwilling.
So as soon as he seized the opportunity, he vented his hatred on the heads of everyone in the second room.
"Don't worry, there is a god three feet above your head, and people are watching the sky, and what she added to you and your parents, I will get it back sooner or later." The Queen Mother said.
Now it is clear that Zhen's sale to Yangzhou was the handiwork of the old lady and Zhen Chen, but I don't know how much they participated in the fall of Zhen's mansion and the death of the second brother and sister-in-law.
This also involves King Kang.
The reason why Dafang's mother and son were pardoned was that Emperor Zuo took pity on Zhen Chen's talent, and Dafang's mother and son had always been orphans and widows and did not participate in Zhen's "rebellion", so they were pardoned.
Looking at it now, I don't know if the mother and son exchanged anything from the Zhen Mansion in exchange for staying out of the matter.
But once things are done, they will have their feet, and sooner or later they will find out!
Zhen believes in time and the Queen Mother.
「…… Mama Zhang, who is next to the old lady, is a conscience, when I was sold to Yangzhou, she stuffed me with a few taels of silver. Later, the Bai family came to the capital to look for me, and she also reported the news. But as the eldest aunt's person, she can't betray the master, and it's not easy to release my news to the Bai family......" Zhen said.
"How long have you been in Yangzhou? I've hurt you." The Queen Mother held Zhen's hand, the eldest lady of the Zhen family, who was now extremely rough and had calluses left over from farm work in her palms.
Think of a place like Smoke Willow Lane, even if Zhen only stayed for two months, it was enough to become a nightmare for a lifetime.
"Two months. If you don't give you food, you learn music every day, and if you make a mistake, you will be beaten." Zhen said calmly, "But it's all over, compared to the other women in our house who were sold, I'm lucky enough."
In those two months, Zhen saw a girl who was sold to Yangzhou as a child, was raised as a thin horse, learned the kung fu of serving people, and traveled among the princes and princes.
The lucky ones can be concubines, and more of them will die.
Fortunately, she was saved by the Bai family before she had time to go to this tragic road.
And more female dependents of the Bai family are not so lucky, Grandma Du and Chang Mama
Mama's sisters in the house didn't know where they were sold.
Even the third lady of the Zhen Mansion didn't know where she fell.
The Queen Mother sent someone to look for her, but only found the whereabouts of her and Zhen Rong.
Others have not been heard from.
"The Bai family is a kind family, and this is also thanks to the good deeds and blessings accumulated by your mother when she was alive." The Queen Mother carefully touched the cocoon on Zhen's hand, thinking of her second sister-in-law who died tragically in the snowy night, her eyes were red.
"The Bai family is indeed kind. Auntie, you only pity me for living a hard life in the countryside, but I really don't feel too bitter. In order to save me, the Bai family sold all their land and houses. In those years, although my life was a little harder, it was very comfortable." Zhen said with a smile.
"I heard that after Xiao Yuanbao was born, your family's life is getting better and better." The Queen Mother asked.
"That's true." Zhen thought for a moment and said, "Auntie, you must have heard that Xiao Yuanbao does speak with a bit of spirit. I'm afraid that this matter will spread more and more in the capital in the future......
Zhen spoke out about his concerns.
Xiao Fuyuan spoke Ling, and the reputation of a little lucky girl was spread in Huaicheng.
The capital is not as good as Huaicheng, and Zhen doesn't want his daughter's fame to be too great.
In Huaicheng, there is still Mrs. Shen Jiaru who wants to take Xiao Fuyuan away as a child daughter-in-law, not to mention a place like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in Beijing.
"I'll keep an eye on this."
When the Queen Mother thought of Xiao Fuyuan, a smile appeared on her face.
Although they had only been together for a few hours, the child had won her heart.
"By the way, there is another matter I want you to discuss in the capital. Do you have any thoughts on the fourth family member?" The Queen Mother asked.
mentioned the family affairs of his fourth child, Zhen cheered up.
Isn't it that the Queen Mother has a suitable candidate?
"Auntie, the fourth child has also reached the age of marriage. Now he is serving in the Hanlin Academy, and he is the champion again, and my aunt doesn't say that I know that his family affairs are concerned by many people. My idea is very simple, regardless of family, it is important that two people look at each other so that they can live in harmony in the future. Secondly, if the fourth cousin is satisfied, then I don't ask for anything."
Zhen's words reveal two layers of once, Bai Panmei is now an official of the imperial court, and his family affairs are destined not to be referred to casually. If you have to become a chess piece, then you must also choose the one that the fourth child likes among the chess pieces.
This is the sacrifice that Bai Panmei is destined to make in her career.
After all, one cannot seek the best of both worlds.
Zhen understands this.
The Queen Mother naturally understood her niece's thoughts, so she asked, "Do you remember General Ji in the palace when the first emperor was King Jing?"
General Ji, the Queen Mother naturally has an impression.
Like King Jing, he was not favored, followed King Jing to the border, and accompanied King Jing and King Qin to make great achievements.
After King Jing seized the world, the situation was unstable, the Rong State invaded on the border, and General Ji was not at ease
