Jinling City, the old house of the Wang family.
The three elders of the Wang family invited the four elders of the Jia family, the two elders of the Shi family, and the two elders of the Xue family to take their seats with a smile.
After the four families and the capital were divided into sects, the Jinling sect was controlled by these elders.
The clan leader has never been selected because they knew that if they really chose a clan leader, his identity, official position, and status would not be as good as the branch of the capital, and he would be subject to the control at that time.
Therefore, we control the family by using the old age.
First, if you get older, and second, you will not be suppressed by the capital.
It has to be said that in the battle for power and tricks, the Chinese people have always been extremely smart.
please!
Please!
After some courtesy, eleven old people sat down.
After talking about the cold treatment of Jia Qiang at the banquet yesterday, the veteran Wang family sighed: It’s not easy to get in touch with Ah. In his generation, how can there be family affection in his eyes?I treat me as if nothing is there, as if I am a poor relative who is begging for food and fighting for autumn wind.
The old man from the second family shook his head and said: Maybe he is too young and has great-grandchildren, so he deliberately treats him coldly?Alas, I'm very alienated anyway.
The old man from the three families sneered: I didn’t point at the Beijing area to eat a grain of rice, and I didn’t spend a penny on them. Why do they have that kind of virtue?
Everyone in the Shi family laughed and said: Don’t you know what kind of style this young and successful marquis is in Beijing? The emperor valued him, and the empress was even more favored. She was companion of the prince and did not take anyone seriously except Lin Ruhai. The people from the two Duke's mansions in the Jia family's capital were almost taken away by him. Isn't your Wang family the same?
Everyone in the Wang family smiled bitterly: Like the Wang family, Zi Teng, the capital city, was ordered to have a birthday, and a few children were sent to celebrate the birthday.As a result, it was fine if he was beaten half to death, but he was driven back to Jinling.I heard from them that the marquis of the Jia family thought they were from the south and were careful of them and forced Ziteng to drive them back.I heard that your historians have also been ruthless?
The two old masters of the Shi family shook their heads and said: The two marquises in the capital of the Shi family are very unsatisfied. They are both Wuhou, but they are not as good as a young man, so it's better not to mention it.
Everyone in the Xue family smiled bitterly and said: Not to mention the Xue family, the plump font left by their ancestors was taken over by people.
The Jia family always said indifferently: The division of sects in Beijing is not a big deal, and the heroes of Yuanping have almost no place to stand outside, and the successful and arrogant little beast breeder inside. He looks down on our sect in the south and runs to the south to win.
Everyone in the Wang family shook their heads and said: Everyone, please calm down. At this age, why bother with a young man again?Since this young powerful man came here this time, we have to take advantage of this opportunity to get things done.After this, I want to find an opportunity to make him nod and agree. It’s so difficult!
Everyone in the Jia family frowned and said: What does De Rong mean by the new law?
Everyone in the Wang family nodded and said: If we really check the land and measure the land again, we will have great trouble!
The old man from the historian family also said with a serious expression: Now we are still hiding under the mercy of our ancestors, and we don’t have to pay much tax on the land under our name.But if we remeasure the land and register the yellow book, the government will find that we have already separated from the capital.Our land is not under the name of the Duke's Mansion or the Marquis' Mansion.The land of the Wang family’s Jinling houses is not under Wang Ziteng’s name, right?In this way, you must pay taxes and even perform corvee service!This is a big deal that takes our lives and cuts off our foundation!
The old man from the Wang family nodded and said: It's Ah, so the government cannot succeed.But, what should I do?
The old man from the Shi family said: It’s useless to think of other ways in this matter, I can only look at the young marquis of the Jia family.He is just winning, and Lin Ruhai behind him is the prime minister of the dynasty.As long as he agrees, Jinling Mansion will not treat our four families anyway.Even if it is the Governor of Liangjiang, he cannot force himself, otherwise he will not be able to be the official!
Everyone in the Jia family frowned and said: But looking at his current attitude... When he arrived in Jinling, he didn't even get my door.I sent someone to invite them to a family banquet, and his personal guards only said that they were not here...
The boss of the Wang family laughed and said: It’s true that Brother Fengze doesn’t know that they went to Xuanwu Lake to take a boat trip today?
The Jia family members sighed: My intention is that he does not take us elders seriously at all.Yes, even Enhou and Cunzhou in Beijing even beat him and scold him whenever he wanted to. The eighth room in the middle of the capital made him unable to lift his head... How could we ask him to agree to this matter?
The second elder of the Xue family suddenly laughed and said: This matter is probably going to fall on the Wang family...
The old stranger of the three Wang family members said: Why does it fall on the Wang family?The Wang family invited him to a banquet, but ended up losing face...
The second elder of the Xue family laughed and said: That second person from your Wang family.Grandma, although she is an aunt, she is very close to him...
As soon as these words were spoken, the three elders of the Wang family looked a little unfair.
This kind of thing is like meat rotting in a pot and covering the lid with the pot, folding the arm into the sleeve, hiding it if it can be hidden.
Although it is uncommon for every household to say this, it still feels ugly when people say it in person.
The three elders of the Wang family are not fuel-efficient. They smiled and said with a slight smile: The Xue family has become Ah, isn’t the legitimate lady in the Xue family’s house promised her to others by the Xue family?Not a real house yet...
The two old people in the Xue family immediately turned dark.
Everyone in the Jia family waved their hands and advised him: Alas, let’s stop quarreling, we should think of ways.
Everyone in the Wang family said: According to my wishes, it is better to open a ancestral temple and worship ancestors.And I don’t believe that he can be cold to us and treat our ancestors coldly?As long as he is willing to kowtow, he can declare to the public that we are divided from the capital and there is no separation at all!Which of them doesn’t believe it, just go to Beijing to ask!We will still remember the land in their names, but in fact, it is still ours.I don’t believe it, can they still run back to compete for land?
As soon as these words were spoken, all the elders laughed and said they were great good.
After a group of people discussed the matter of worshiping ancestors, the two elders of the Wang family said again: Then... how should we explain the matter of the Cao Gang?I was wondering if he was so cold to us because of the Suzhou Prefecture?I heard that he was extremely angry in Suzhou Prefecture...
What does the matter in Suzhou Prefecture have to do with us? We just collected some money from others and said a few words occasionally. That's all we can depend on?
The two old members of the Jia family shook their heads and said disdainfully.
The old man from Shi Jiajia reminded: If you want to accuse him of a crime, you will be in trouble!
The two old members of the Jia family sneered and said, "I want to see, what are the crimes that have come from? I have been separated for several lifetimes. What can the prince do to me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a loud scream and scolding from outside, and the sound became louder and louder, until a scream sounded, as if it was shattering, and his feet were in a mess.
The eleven old people in the family looked solemn, and the elders of the Wang family said in a deep voice: Third brother, go out and see what's going on.
As soon as the three elders of the Wang family got up, they heard the outer door being kicked open with a slam. Countless two generals and governors' offices were in with swords.
Under the order of the Governor General, the major case of the culprit was founded.Those who dare to resist will be killed without any quarrel!
The Governor of Liangjiang has a flag of kings in his hand, which is equivalent to Shangfang's sword.
When things are urgent, all the under-ranks of the third rank can be executed first and then reported, let alone a group of so-called family elders?
Under the sword and war, a group of family members who have lived a pampered life for the rest of their lives were all dissatisfied. If you don’t talk about anything, what will happen to me?
……
Jinling City, Ningguo Mansion.
In the room in the back house, Feng Jie'er, Daiyu, Tanchun and others looked at a woman who nodded and smiled with a little tricky look, and there was also a young girl who was elegant, steady, gentle and peaceful.
This woman is the wife of Mrs. Xing Zhong, the brother of Mrs. Xing.
This girl is the daughter of Xing Zhong and his wife, Xing Xiuyan.
Feng Jie'er and Daiyu were entertaining Song's seat, while the eyes of the others fell on Xing Xiuyan.
It was cold this time, and Xing Xiuyan only wore an old felt cloak. Because it was cold, she looked like she was hunched.
Compared with the wealthy daughters in this room with brilliant embroidery and magnificent appearance, wearing gold, jade and silk all over the body, she is really humble and has no sense of existence.
However, what is interesting is that judging from Xing Xiuyan's calm and gentle gaze, she did not seem to feel embarrassed, nor did she introduce herself, nor did she have any expression of envy and jealousy.
This is the only point that lets the girls look at her differently.
Tanchun asked Xiangyun in a low voice: Who do you think she looks like?
Xiangyun replied quietly: I always feel like a person, but I can't remember it... Do you also think she looks like her?Which one... Could it be Sister Bao?
Tanchun shook his head and smiled: It's just a little bit, not a whole.Look at her, do you look like the princess of the Yin family?The immortal quality she was born is that she has a unique smoky and cloudy color.Not humble or arrogant, even though her mother... she doesn't feel embarrassed or complaining. This is even more rare, even better than me.
When Aunt Zhao did something unbearable, Tanchun wished she could not mask her face with a gauze and never see anyone again.
But doing this may not be correct. Just as Jia Qiang once said, Aunt Zhao's background prevented her from knowing the right position everywhere like a lady from studying and polite.
Such a person does ridiculous things, which is actually a kind of tragedy. He should give pity instead of shame.
Tanchun understood the truth, but she still couldn't...
And at the moment, Xing Xiuyan seems to be much more calm.
Song's face was a little deformed, and he kept complaining: I really couldn't survive anymore. I had rented a house in Panxiang Temple, Xuanmeng, Suzhou for ten years, but now I don't even have the money to rent the house.I could only make up some money and go to Beijing to join my aunt.It happened to be heard that the nobles of the Jia family were in Jinling, so we begged to come.
These words immediately made Feng Jie'er and Daiyu feel tricky.
Daiyu thought about it and felt that this matter still depends on how Feng Jie'er handled it.
At least on the surface, Feng Jie'er is still Mrs. Xing's daughter-in-law, so she has to pay attention to the Song family calling her aunt.
But how could Feng Jie'er agree with such an elder in her heart?Wouldn't you find yourself uncomfortable...
Even Mrs. Xing went in, not to mention that Xing Zhong was not Mrs. Xing's biological brother, but just a cousin.
Feng Jie'er smiled and was about to speak, but saw Yuanyang's mother Jin Cai's family coming in quickly and cried: It's amazing, the mansion has advanced troops and taken away our family, my son and two managers!
Everyone was shocked. Soon after, Jia Qiang came in and said with a heavy expression: The four families of Jia, Shi, Wang and Xue in Jinling were involved in a major case. Tonight, the Governor General of Liangjiang was dispatched to acquire people. You don’t have to worry about anything. If they are really guilty, then that's all. But if you are not guilty, the Governor's Office of Liangjiang must give me an explanation! snort!
Feng Jie'er was confused when she heard this. She was extremely worried about the situation of her parents and brothers at home, so she hurriedly asked.
Jia Qiang's face became more and more solemn, and she said in a deep voice: They have also been arrested and jailed...
Ah!!
When Feng Jie'er heard this, she felt like she was struck by lightning. Then she looked at Jia Qiang in tears and cried: Qiang'er...
Daiyu pondered for a moment and asked: Brother Qiang, what kind of big case is it? You are not saying that Sister Feng’s father is very honest and responsible, is he implicated in misunderstandings?
Jia Qiang sighed and said slowly: It was Caisheng who cut off that case.
What?
oops!
The girls were shocked when they heard this and exclaimed.
But Feng Jie'er forgot her curse on those bad guys before, and her legs became weak. She pulled Jia Qiang's arm and cried and begged: Qiang'er, at least save their lives!
When Jia Qiang heard this, he was about to speak, but an old lady came in and said, "Marty, there is someone coming from outside. It was sent by Master Lin from the capital. I have told you about something urgent.He is at the door now...
Upon hearing this, Jia Qiang first patted Feng Jie'er holding his hand. After Feng Jie'er let go, Jia Qiang went out.
The sisters heard something from outside the door that made them terrified: Marquis, the young man came to the court overnight to pass the message to the court.After the Marquis left the capital, the second wife of Rongfu reported a bloody letter, accusing the Marquis of disobedience and unfiliality, plotting to murder the Grandfather Jing and Grandfather Rong of the East Mansion, harshly abused the two masters of the Western Mansion, and forbidden the mother of the imperial concubine, and many more evil crimes.There is a lot of strife in the court and the country, and all the royal families, nobles, civil and military officials have written letters to behead the marquis to reconcile the world.The prime minister asked the marquis to prepare early!
