Gui Zi Scroll Chapter 465: A dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, and 'wisdom' emerges from the rush

Of course there is friendship, and it is friendship in bed, but the Zhen brothers have no way of knowing.

Zhen Yingjia shook her head.

In the letter, her daughter only mentioned that she had the chance to return to Beijing with Feng Keng's help. But what makes Zhen Yingjia wonder is that her daughter is now a member of the Shui family. Can the Shui Rong family still be pardoned?

If the Shui family could really be forgiven, why would Shui Rong drink away his sorrows all day long?

However, it is possible that the emperor's illegitimate daughter mentioned by the second child is the emperor's illegitimate daughter, but Zhen Yingjia does not think that the current emperor still has the mind to take this into consideration.

The current emperor has four sons and seven or eight real daughters, let alone such an illegitimate daughter with an embarrassing status?

How much attention can he get? What attracts attention is just the fact that the emperor had an affair with Concubine Ying and gave birth to the child.

But now that the previous emperor has passed away, and even Emperor Yonglong has become the emperor, who still cares about these old things?

Isn’t there too much nonsense like this in the royal family?

If you really cared, why did you let Jia Jing marry this illegitimate daughter as his grandson's daughter-in-law without any explanation? Now it is even said that she was divorced by Jia Jing's grandson.

"Bao Qi seems to be very familiar with that woman now. The letter also mentioned that the woman helped them a lot, but the Mu family and the Shui family, who can help them much now?" Zhen Yingjia sighed, "Even if it is.

The imperial court doesn’t care about them, but who can help them pick them up after they’ve collapsed?”

Zhen Yingjia's words also made Zhen Yingyu feel sad.

Once a wealthy family like this falls, there is almost no chance for them to stand up again.

Just like the Zhen family, once it falls, countless people will step on it, and countless people will pounce on it to share the food, so the Zhen family must not fall.

"Brother, if you throw away your money, as long as our family doesn't collapse, we can eventually earn it back. But once our family collapses, there will be nothing left." Zhen Yingyu gritted his teeth: "We have no way with Sun Chengzong, but with Feng Keng

, I thought about it, I still have to go, it’s worth it even if I have to sacrifice one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand.”

Zhen Yingjia was slightly moved, "But I've posted twice, but they didn't respond at all. You can't find the temple gate even if you carry a pig's head."

Zhen Yingyu's face was gloomy and uncertain, and he said after a long time: "Brother, do you know what Li Shouzhong did?"

Zhen Yingjia looked at the other party in surprise and confusion.

"He sent his two nieces into Feng Keng's house as concubines..." Zhen Yingyu admired Li Shouzhong's ruthlessness.

After all, we are all scholars, so we can do such a thing without fear of making the Fang family laugh.

Of course, not much is known to the outside world, but Zhen Yingyu naturally has his own information channels, so it should be accurate.

Feng Keng came to Jiangnan with no concubines except for a female bodyguard who was a concubine. However, the sudden appearance of two more women naturally could not be hidden from anyone who was interested. If he inquired around carefully, he would not be able to hide it in Jinling City.

A local snake would naturally know the origins of these two women.

"It is said that Jia Hua was the one who pulled the strings and acted as a good pimp!" Zhen Yingyu said fiercely.

Zhen Yingjia was also a little in disbelief.

Didn't Li Shouzhong always claim to be a scholar? Apart from being a bit obsessed with officialdom, he seemed to attach great importance to the Li family's status as a scholar. Why did he do such a shameful thing?

Shouldn't this be something only a powerful and unscrupulous person can do?

Really?" Zhen Yingjia asked in shock: "Jia Yucun is so shameless and not afraid of impeachment by the censor?"

"If you want to impeach the censor, you should first focus on Feng Keng. He dared to take the family members of criminal officials as concubines. Isn't this giving someone a handle? I don't believe that Feng Keng can cover the sky in the court without even a single political opponent?"

Zhen Yingyu's words made his brother shake his head: "Feng Keng has made great achievements in pacifying the south of the Yangtze River. Normally, the cabinet would not agree if he could not defeat him. What are these things? Even if he embezzled hundreds of thousands, I'm afraid the court would not agree.

I will ask."

"It's a pity that I heard that Feng Keng is a womanizer, but he doesn't value money very much. Even if we gave him one or two hundred thousand, he might not be willing to accept it." Zhen Yingyu sighed, "I don't know who gave it to me.

Li Shouzhong came up with such an idea and voted

The reason is that I think Li Shouzhong is getting drunk all the time now, maybe he is just pretending to confuse the outside world."

Suddenly feeling his brother's gaze, Zhen Yingyu didn't react yet and raised his eyes in surprise: "What's wrong, brother?"

"Bao Yu..." As soon as Zhen Yingjia said this, she saw her brother's expression change suddenly, and she shook her head, "Forget it, forget it, I didn't say anything."

There are three legitimate daughters in the Zhen family, two are the eldest daughter, Zhen Yingjia, and one is the second daughter, Zhen Yingyu.

Zhen Yingjia's eldest daughter, Zhen Baochen, married into the Ding family, but this daughter was born to her original wife.

After the death of his first wife, Zhen Yingjia gave birth to second daughters Zhen Baoqi and Zhen Baoyu. Zhen Baoqi married Beijing Wang Shuirong.

But at that time, Shui Rong quietly fled south and left all his family members in the capital, so Zhen Baoqi was exiled to Shaanxi.

Zhen Yingyu only had one legitimate daughter, Zhen Baoyu, who was seventeen years old and had not yet betrothed anyone. She was known as a talented woman in Jinling City. Together with her cousins ​​Zhen Baochen and Zhen Baoqi, they were known as the Zhen family's three jade. She originally wanted to give it to Prince Yizhong's fourth son, but

It didn't work out, and later I wanted to marry Tang Binyin's son, but I never found the opportunity, so I put it off.

This was Zhen Yingyu's most beloved daughter and she regarded her as a precious jade, so when Zhen Yingjia mentioned her, Zhen Yingyu's expression changed.

Seeing his brother waving his hands and saying nothing, Zhen Yingyu's face relaxed slightly, "Brother, I can rely on you for other things, but I can't do anything about Bao Yu..."

"I know, hey, I'm not treating the virus indiscriminately, losing my sense of proportion, and losing my opinion?" Zhen Yingjia sighed, "As you said, if Feng Keng really doesn't like money, let's give him

He may not be interested in offering two or three hundred thousand yuan. The Feng family has a good financial background and may not be much inferior to us, especially if they marry Lin Ruhai’s daughter..."

"If he doesn't accept it, the worst we can do is wait until Gu Bingqian comes and offer it directly..." Zhen Yingyu gritted his teeth.

"Gu Bingqian?" Zhen Yingjia's face turned cold, "Then it's not two to three million, but maybe two to three million. I know Gu Bingqian well. Although he is greedy for money, he is even more greedy for power! He just joined the cabinet.

He only wants to secure his position so that he can be the chief minister in the future. Tang and Mu are still staring at his buttocks and trying to grab his pigtails. How can he give someone a hand? I'm worried that if he comes to Jiangnan to take charge, he will be worse than Sun Chengzong and others.

Feng Keng is even more ruthless!"

Two to three million means almost swallowing up most of the Zhen family's entire property. The key is that even if you offer it, the other party may not let the Zhen family go. This is the most terrible thing.

Zhen Yingyu's forehead was soaked with sweat and he hesitated to speak, but Zhen Yingjia waved his hand to relieve his suffering, "Forget it, second brother, Li Shouzhong offered his two nieces, Feng Keng dared to accept it, after all, Li Shouzhong said nothing

Big or small, it may not be impossible for Feng Ziying to mediate, but what about our Zhen family? Even if you let Bao Yu go, Feng Keng may not dare to take it. And if he really ruined Bao Yu, he would lift his pants.

If you don’t admit it, we will be helpless..."

Zhen Yingyu was speechless.

Zhen Yingjia didn't know that her daughter had been "ruined" by Feng Ziying a long time ago, and she was a master who kept her promises. If she really knew that Feng Ziying really put all the effort into getting her daughter back to the capital, she didn't know what choice he would make.

.

After Zhen Baoyu sent the letter to her father, she quietly hid behind the door and did not leave.

During this time, the atmosphere at home was so gloomy that he no longer dared to go outside for entertainment.

Zhen Baoyu was not born to be a scholar. Zhen Baoyu was much freer and more optimistic than Jia Baoyu in the capital. He was good at flying eagles and lackeys, singing and playing roles, playing antiques, fighting crickets, and all the things that a playboy should do.

But even he noticed that the mood in the city had suddenly changed.

After Prince Yi Zhong returned to Beijing, he felt the atmosphere in the family becoming increasingly tense and anxious. His father's irritability and his uncle's sighs all showed that the family was facing a huge disaster.

It's not like there haven't been troubles in the family before, but it's never been like this.

Zhen Baoyu, who was hiding behind the door, originally wanted to hear what her sister said in her letter, especially what happened to her fiancée Mu Tan, who was sent to Shaanxi together with her sister.

Not long after he got engaged to the legitimate daughter of the Mu family, the North-South Revolution happened, and the marriage between the two families was put on hold until now.

Zhen Baoyu is not that eager to get married. In his opinion, it seems more comfortable to enjoy a happy life leisurely. But on the surface, he also needs to care about the situation of the Mu family, especially his fiancée.

.

But he never expected to hear some words that made his hands and feet feel cold.

Of course he knew who Li Shouzhong was. It turned out that the Imperial Academy held a wine ceremony and his daughter married Baoyu's brother in Jingli. The Zhen and Jia families had always been close and knew the details.

Li Shouzhong's two nieces were even more graceful and talented, and were admired by countless scholars in Jinling City.

It's just that Li Shouzhong always had a high opinion and disdained scholars from a poor family. However, he was from a scholarly and prestigious family, and because the Li sisters only had widowed mothers in their family, the Li family would naturally refuse to take her as a concubine if she was not of high family status.

Who would have thought that the Li sisters would be taken into Feng Keng's house as concubines by Li Shouzhong, his uncle. This made Zhen Baoyu, who was once somewhat envious of the two girls' talents, simply unable to accept it.

That's all. His father actually wanted to send his cousin Zhen Baoyu into Feng's house as a concubine. This simply overturned Zhen Baoyu's understanding of her father. How could her father become such a virtuous person?

It's simply shameful and pathetic.

Zhen Baoyu didn't pay much attention to the subsequent words. Whether it was two to three million, or two to three million, it didn't have much impression on him. He only knew that he was never short of money, and he didn't care about family matters.

Never asked.

It was not until her father and uncle sighed that Zhen Baoyu quietly left.

When I went out, I happened to meet my cousin who came over with a calm and indifferent face.
