Chapter 619

the other side.

Li Wan led Daiyu Sanchun back to the Grand View Garden, originally intending to disband on the spot and go back to each family.

But Tanchun also suggested that it is better to show the poems I made today to my second elder brother, so that he can experience the vitality of spring and April, and put out the idea of ​​the ancient Buddha with the blue lamp dying this remaining life.

As soon as this idea was brought up, Xichun was very displeased.

But preventing Jia Baoyu from becoming a monk right now is the political correctness in the Grand View Garden, so she can't say anything.

So a group of people sorted out the transcribed poems and went to Yihong Courtyard to visit Baoyu together.

In fact, according to Mrs. Wang's intention, she wanted Jia Baoyu to choose another place to live. After all, there were many life lawsuits in this Yihong courtyard, but Jia Baoyu insisted so hard that Mrs. Wang still failed to persuade him.

"Yo~"

However, when he entered the gate of the courtyard, it was not Jia Baoyu but Wang Xifeng who greeted him first.

It was Second Grandma Feng who was holding a raccoon cat in her arms, wrapped in plain filial piety, and asked with a smile: "You guys have intentions, and you ran to Yihong Courtyard just after you came back."

"That's no match for you."

Li Wan leaned forward, stretched out his hand and stroked the cat's head a few times, and asked, "When did you come here?"

"You and your wife walked forward, and I came behind - there is no one in charge of the Grand View Garden, so I don't want to stare at this little ancestor? I am here to deal with housework, and he is in a daze. It’s not too late.”

Just as he was talking, Jia Baoyu also came out from the inside, and the sisters smiled in front of each other, beckoning everyone to enter the room and sit down.

Wang Xifeng was arguing with Li Wan while walking into the house, when a servant woman suddenly caught up with her and came to her ear in a panic and said something.

Wang Xifeng showed surprise on his face, so he charged everyone with a crime, and left Yihong Courtyard alone.

When she got outside, she frowned and asked the servant: "Why did my brother come here suddenly? Isn't he in the south?"

But it turned out that what the servant woman had just said was: Wang Ren came to visit suddenly.

"The uncle didn't say anything, but it seems that there is something urgent to see grandma."

Something urgent?

Thinking of all kinds of bad deeds of her own brother, Wang Xifeng's heart twitched abruptly, and wondered to himself, maybe he was trying to get his money?

wishful thinking!

Wang Xifeng gritted her silver teeth secretly, but since the person has come, she wants to see him no matter what.

So he followed the servant woman to the side hall in the front yard.

She entered the door with a pretty face, and wanted to give Wang Ren a bad start, but before she could speak, Wang Ren jumped up and said in a changed voice: "Sister, it's not good, it's not good! It's a disaster!"

Wang Xifeng saw that he didn't seem to be lying, so he turned the left and right screens back, and asked: "What's wrong? Could it be that brother has caused some trouble again? Please speak clearly!"

"If only I got into trouble!"

Wang Rendun beat his chest: "It's a long story. At the beginning of last month, there were rumors that the deputy general Zhang under my father's command had robbed merchant ships. My father called him to inquire. The deputy general argued that he found a Western merchant ship. He hid contraband and encountered resistance when he was about to seize it, and because he lost a few brothers, he was annoyed for a while, so he washed the merchant ship."

"This lieutenant general is my father's confidant, and my father thought that there was no proof of the incident at sea, not to mention that it was Yang Yi who killed him, so he didn't take it seriously. He just scolded the fu general and dismissed the matter. Hidden."

"Who would have imagined that within a few days, that deputy general Zhang would go out to sea and abscond with two warships in his arms. My father was surprised that something was wrong. After careful investigation, he found out that the cargo that Vice General Zhang looted was not a Western Yi merchant ship at all, but a ship that had just arrived from Europa. The returning Great Xia Merchant Ship!"

When Wang Xifeng heard this, he was already dumbfounded.

I don't think Wang Ren would have something to say: "Father asked again, and the merchant ship was a big official and businessman in Zhejiang and Zhejiang. If the deputy general Zhang hadn't escaped with the ship, the matter might have been hidden, but now..."

"The two Zhejiang people have always had a lot of influence in the court. I heard that this cargo is worth three to four hundred thousand taels of silver. If they find out about this, An Kenshan will let it go?!"

"That's why my father hurriedly sent me to Beijing, hoping to find ways to ease the situation."

After listening to Wang Ren's words, Wang Xifeng turned around anxiously, and slapped the back of her hand on the palm of her hand: "How do you want me to ease and resolve such a big matter? Don't say it's me, I'm afraid our masters and wives will be helpless after hearing this!"

"Isn't there still a Xiande concubine in the palace?"

Wang Ren's eyes were filled with hope: "Wouldn't it be better to ask your mother to explain a few words than a thousand words from outside?"

"What do you know? Because His Majesty suffered a stroke..."

"But I heard that the empress has been released?"

"It was released, but I haven't been able to see the emperor."

Wang Xifeng didn't really want to discuss the matter of Concubine Xiande's falling out of favor, so she asked again: "Could it be that the master just points at the empress?"

"That's not true. My father asked me to try to contact the culprit behind the scenes and promised to pay for all losses—but even if they promised not to pursue it, the fact that Vice General Zhang fled with the warship will always be hidden."

Speaking of this, he raised his head and looked at Wang Xifeng: "Father said, I'm afraid that I won't be able to collect so much cash for a while, and I'm afraid I will ask you to borrow some temporarily."

"This……"

Wang Xifeng was extremely reluctant, but she also knew that her biggest reliance was actually not the Rongguo Mansion, but Wang Taiwei.

Therefore, after hesitating again and again, he still let go: "Since it's a loan, let's find a middleman."

"There's no rush about silver."

Wang Ren leaned forward and asked again: "Except for the empress, who else can exert strength in the court?"

After hearing this, the word 'Jiao Shun' almost blurted out.

But soon Wang Xifeng dismissed this idea again, Jiao Shun is now fighting with those civil servants like fire and water, if he doesn't end, it's fine, if once he ends, how can those civil servants give up?

It's okay to ask him for advice...

Just as he was thinking, Wang Ren saw that she was speechless for a long time, so he couldn't help but suggested again: "Why don't you ask your uncle or aunt first? At least it's cheaper to ask my uncle to be a middleman and deal with those suffering people. "

In the past, Wang Xifeng might still count on Jia Zheng, but this time the turmoil has lifted the fig leaf of the Rongguo Mansion nakedly. Without the support of Jia Yuanchun, Jia Zheng is like a headless chicken. Less money, but no effect at all.

What's even more speechless is that when Jia Yucun and others hid from the Rongguo Mansion before, and now they post it again, not only is he not annoyed, but he also finds reasons to be considerate to the other party. In the end, he only listened to a few soft words, and then he was happy again ' up.

But in front of her natal family, Wang Xifeng didn't want to admit the downfall of her husband's family, so she said vaguely: "My wife has gone to Xue's house today, I'm afraid she won't be back until tomorrow - besides, you have to let me lay the groundwork, don't shake the world as soon as you come up." of."

When Wang Ren heard that his aunt was not there, he was also worried that he would bump into the south wall in front of Jia Zheng, so he had no choice but to get up: "Then I'll go back and report that I'm safe. Mom doesn't even know I'm back."

 It burned all night yesterday, and it was still 38.2 by four o'clock

  While the symptoms are still mild in the morning, I will write out this chapter first, and I will probably fall down again in the afternoon.
