Chapter 177 The gathering of mother and daughter moved heaven and earth
After Qingwen left, Jia Yun walked alone for a while and then left the back garden, walked outside the second gate, and found Yu Zhu at the General Administration Courtyard on West Road.
Today, Yu Zhu is not only the captain of Jia Yun's personal soldiers, but also the steward of Jia Yun's house.
Firstly, Jia Yun's house lacked a housekeeper, and secondly, Yu Zhu was not only good in character, high in force, but also resourceful, and was deeply trusted by Jia Yun.
It must be said that Yu Zhu is a rare talent, otherwise he would not have been deeply appreciated by Cao Wei when he was a personal soldier beside Cao Wei.
Jia Yun found Yu Zhu in the General Administration Court, and after rejecting the other servants, she said to Zhu, "I have an errand that I want to send to you."
Yu Zhu responded solemnly: "If you have any errands, sir, just give me your orders."
Jia Yun said: "I want you to go south to Suzhou to find someone and bring him to see me!"
Immediately, Jia Yun explained the errand to Yu Zhu in detail...
The original work does not indicate where Jia Yucun met Feng Su and Feng's family by chance when he was serving as the prefect.
However, since Jia Yucun hooked up with Jia Zheng, he has kept in contact with Jia's family and became so-called friends with Jia Zheng, so much so that Jia Yun has met Jia Yucun three times.
So Jia Yun knew that Jia Yucun had served as the prefect of Suzhou Prefecture.
It means, Feng Su, the Feng family lives in Suzhou Prefecture.
In addition, based on the details in the original work, Jia Yun judged that Feng Su and the Feng family probably lived in Suzhou City, or lived near Suzhou City.
The Feng family is a wealthy family.
There were also two pieces of news about the Feng family that shocked the local neighborhood. One was that Feng Su's son-in-law Zhen Shiyin ran away from home, and the other was that when Jia Yucun was the prefect of Suzhou Prefecture, he took in the Feng family's maid Jiao Xing as his second wife for only one year.
Jiao Xing gave birth to a son. Half a year later, Jia Yucun's first wife died of illness, and Jiao Xing was promoted to Mrs. Xu Xian.
With this information, it is not difficult to find the Feng family in Suzhou Prefecture.
Jia Yun asked Yu Zhu to take two soldiers with him to run this errand, and took twenty taels of gold and some silver for Yu Zhu to take with him. Some of the silver was for Yu Zhu and three other soldiers, and twenty taels were given to Yu Zhu and other three soldiers.
Gold is a spare.
Jia Yun's request is that as long as Feng is still alive, and on the premise that it does not break the law, let Yu Zhu find ways to bring Feng to Shenjing City to see him!
Jia Yun didn't want Yu Zhu to cause any illegal trouble during this trip.
In addition, Jia Yun asked Yu Zhu to keep this mission a secret. Even Yu Zhu's wife was not allowed to tell him, and even the two soldiers who followed him south had to wait until they found Feng.
The reason is that Feng may be dead. Once this happens and the news reaches Xiang Ling's ears, Xiang Ling will be disappointed and sad, and a good thing will turn into a bad thing.
The next morning, Yu Zhu took two soldiers and went south to Suzhou...
…
…
Time flies, like a fleeting year.
Nearly three months have passed in the blink of an eye, and the time has come to May 15th, and spring has entered the midsummer season.
On May 15th of last year, Jia Yun was taking the field examination for the martial arts examination. On that day, Jia Yun became the number one scholar in martial arts. She also became the first young martial artist to win three yuan and the young martial artist to be six yuan in history.
One year later today, Jia Yun is already the first-class imperial bodyguard and the imperial envoy of the Coal Mine Division, and has even become engaged to Xue Baochai...
Things are really unpredictable!
On May 15th this year, Jia Yun was not as prosperous as last year. She was just on duty at the Coal Mine Department of the Ministry of Industry as usual.
And in the evening of that day, Yu Zhu and three other soldiers who went south to Suzhou returned and successfully brought back the Feng family, that is, Xiangling Niang.
However, there was an uninvited guest who came with Yu Zhu. This person was Feng Su, Feng's father and Xiangling's grandfather.
Feng Su was accompanied by several strong followers.
Coincidentally, when Yu Zhu and his party returned to the door of the house, Jia Yun also happened to be returning from get off work at the Coal Mine Department of the Ministry of Industry.
"Sir!" When Yu Zhu saw Jia Yun, he hurried forward and greeted him respectfully.
Jia Yun asked: "Have people brought them back?"
Yu Zhu smiled and said: "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my destiny and brought the Feng family back, but..."
Before he finished speaking, a gray-haired old man came over, took a closer look at the official uniform of a fifth-grade doctor that Jia Yun was wearing, and then said hello with a smile on his face: "Are you Mr. Jia?"
Yu Zhu couldn't help frowning and briefly introduced Jia Yun: "My lord, he is Feng Su."
Jia Yun said "haha" in her heart. He didn't understand the situation at the moment, so he said politely: "It's me. You have worked hard all the way."
Feng Su was even more flattering: "I heard Mr. Jia talk about Mr. Jia's deeds, and I knew that Mr. Jia was a very capable man. I admired him very much, so I eagerly followed him from Suzhou to Beijing. Although it was really hard along the way.
, but seeing Mr. Jia today, my hard work is not in vain."
Jia Yun didn't want to talk nonsense with this old man. He had to understand the situation first.
Immediately, Jia Yun asked his soldiers to take Feng Su, Feng Shi, and several followers to the middle hall to wait, while Jia Yun took Yu Zhu into the outer study.
Like Jia Zheng in Rongguo Mansion, Jia Yun also had an inner study and an outer study in his house. The outer study was also located near the west corner gate. The difference was that Jia Zheng often stayed in the outer study, while Jia Yun rarely stayed in the outer study.
Stay in the study room.
After entering the outer study, Jia Yun asked Yu Zhu to report back in detail about the trip.
After hearing this, Jia Yun sighed and felt disgusted.
I sigh for Feng's sake. I feel that Feng's fate is as miserable as her daughter Xiangling's!
The disgust is directed at Feng Su, thinking that Feng Su is a greedy relative!
The original article wrote:
After Xiang Ling was abducted by a kidnapper when she was just a few years old, Zhen Shiyin and Feng's couple were very disappointed. They cried day and night and even wanted to die.
A month later, Zhen Shiyin fell ill. Feng also became ill with longing for his daughter and asked a doctor for treatment every day.
Another month later, there was another fire in the house and it was reduced to rubble. Zhen Shi and Feng moved to the farm.
Moreover, due to the rise of rats and thieves, who robbed the fields, rats and dogs stole, and officers and soldiers hunted them down, it was difficult to settle down on the farm. Zhen Shi retreated, and the Feng family had no choice but to sell the farm and seek refuge with Feng Su.
The Feng family was a large landowner, and they felt unhappy when their son-in-law and daughter came to seek refuge with him. Fortunately, Zhen Shiyin still had a lot of money, so Feng Su took Zhen Shiyin's money and gave some rotten houses in thin fields to Zhen Shiyin and the Feng family.
Zhen Shiyin was a scholar, but he was not a good farmer. He barely managed to survive for one or two years and then became very poor.
Feng Su was very unhappy with Zhen Shiyin and often made sarcastic remarks.
Zhen Shiyin regretted that he had taken refuge with Feng Su, and because he was old, sick, and living in poverty, he ran away from home and disappeared ever since.
This incident caused a sensation in the neighborhood.
Feng family cried so hard that she had to live with Feng Su with her two former maids. One of the maids was Jiao Xing. Feng Su did not want to raise them in vain and asked them to do acupuncture day and night to earn money.
Later, when Jia Yucun became the prefect of Suzhou Prefecture, he happened to meet the maid Jiao Xing on the street and wanted to take Jiao Xing as his second wife. Of course Feng Su was eager to do so, so he persuaded Feng Su to do it in front of the Feng family. Jia Yucun rewarded Feng Su with a hundred taels for this.
Silver also gave Feng a lot of property.
The above is all written in the original article.
The following story is not written in the original work.
According to Yu Zhu's report, many of the properties given to Feng from Jia Yucun were later taken away by Feng Su, and even Feng's only remaining maid was sold by Feng Su.
In the next few years, Mr. Feng lived in Feng Su's house.
In fact, if Mrs. Feng hadn't still missed her daughter in her heart, she would have sought death long ago.
This time Yu Zhu found Feng in Suzhou Prefecture and wanted to take Feng away, but Feng Su refused to let her go. The lion asked for five hundred taels of silver before letting her go.
Yu Zhu gave Feng Su twenty taels of gold and asked Feng Su to follow him back to Shenjing City. When he arrived at Shenjing City, Jia Yun would give Feng Su another three hundred taels of silver.
There was no other way, Jia Yun had ordered Yu Zhu to find a way to bring Feng to Shenjing City without breaking the law, otherwise Yu Zhu would not agree to such a thing and would use "special means".
Feng Su took several able-bodied followers and followed him to Shenjing City. Not only did he want the remaining three hundred taels of silver, but he also wanted to take the opportunity to curry favor with a nobleman like Jia Yun.
In Jia Yun's view, this Feng Su is undoubtedly another greedy relative!
If Feng Su accepts twenty taels of gold this time and releases Feng, that's fine. Jia Yun won't go to Suzhou Mansion to punish him. But now Feng Su has followed Jia Yun to Shenjing City and Jia Yun's Mansion.
Then this guy will be in trouble!
Haha, our Second Master Yun specializes in treating all kinds of greedy relatives. This is his specialty!
…
…
At this time, the Yu Zhu family walked into the outer study. Although Yu Zhu was here, the couple had not seen each other for three months. At the moment, the Yu Zhu family did not bother to say hello to Yu Zhu, and said to Jia Yun: "Second Master,
The wife calls you."
The news of Jia Yun's return home has reached Bu Wuniang.
The news of Yu Zhu's return home has also reached Bu Wuniang.
Yu Zhu is the captain of Jia Yun's personal soldiers, and Yu Zhu's family is also the steward wife of Jia Yun's house. She often stays with Bu Wuniang. Naturally, the matter of Yu Zhu taking two personal soldiers to go south on errands has caused a lot of confusion in Bu Wu.
My mother paid attention.
Bu Wuniang asked Jia Yun more than once what errands she had sent to Yu Zhu, but Jia Yun didn't say anything. Bu Wuniang was curious about this, and so did the maids such as Xiren, Zijuan, Qingwen, Xiangling, and Liu Wuer.
curious.
Now three months have passed, Yu Zhu finally came back, and suddenly brought back some guests. Bu Wuniang hurriedly called Jia Yun to ask about it.
Immediately, Jia Yun asked Yu Zhu to go to the middle hall to bring Feng over.
Jia Yun brought Fengshi to Bu Wuniang Courtyard.
Asking Mrs. Feng to wait outside the door, Jia Yun first walked into the bright room of the main room and found that Xiren, Zijuan, Qingwen, Xiangling, Liu Wuer and others were all there.
Bu Wuniang got straight to the point: "Is Yu Zhu coming back from a business trip to Beijing?"
Jia Yun said: "Yes."
Bu Wuniang asked: "How many guests did he bring back?"
Jia Yun said: "Yes."
Bu Wuniang asked again: "Now can you tell me, what errand did you ask Yu Zhu to do? Who are those guests?"
Jia Yun glanced at Xiangling subconsciously, and then said: "Mom, I sent Yu Zhu out of the capital this time because I heard someone told me about Xiangling's whereabouts, and asked Yu Zhu to find Xiangling."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was stunned, especially Xiang Ling.
Xiang Ling, who had always been reserved in front of Jia Yun, couldn't wait to ask: "Second Master, you... are you telling the truth? Do you know the whereabouts of my mother?"
Jia Yun smiled slightly: "It's a coincidence. Before I went south to Huainan, I accidentally heard a person from Suzhou tell the story of a neighbor in his past. This neighbor was called Zhen Shiyin. This Zhen Shiyin had a daughter with a nickname.
Yinglian."
Obviously, Jia Yun made this up. He can't truthfully say that he learned about it through the original work, right?
Speaking of this, Jia Yun looked at Xiang Ling specifically. As expected, Xiang Ling's face changed drastically, and her eyes suddenly became moist...
In the original novel, whenever someone asked Xiang Ling about her parents in her hometown, Xiang Ling replied that she could not remember.
Jia Yun was skeptical about this. He thought about how old Xiangling was when she was abducted. It stands to reason that in this era, in wealthy families, girls of that age not only have some memory, but also some sense.
.
Jia Yun felt that Xiang Ling should remember some things from her childhood. The reason why Xiang Ling always replied that she did not remember in the original work was because she was afraid of being beaten by the kidnappers and did not dare to say that she remembered.
In fact, Xiangling does remember some things from her childhood.
For example, although she does not remember the name "Zhen Shiyin", she still remembers her surname "Zhen" and her nickname "Yinglian".
So now that he heard Jia Yun's words, Xiang Ling's face changed drastically, and her eyes immediately became moist.
Jia Yun continued to tell, detailing the affairs of Zhen Shiyin, Feng Shi, and Feng Su.
Xiangling burst into tears after hearing this.
Bu Wuniang asked: "Yun'er, how did you know that Zhen Yinglian in this story is Xiangling?"
Xiren, Zijuan, Qingwen and Liu Wuer were also curious.
Jia Yun said: "The person from Huainan also mentioned that Zhen Yinglian had a rouge mole the size of a rice grain between her eyebrows, which was brought from the womb. I then thought that Zhen Yinglian might be Xiangling. Xiangling had such a rouge mole between her eyebrows, and
Xiangling was also abducted and raised by a kidnapper when she was a child."
Everyone was astonished when they heard this.
Jia Yun said: "Of course, this matter is not certain, but I still sent my soldiers south to Suzhou to bring the Feng family. Whether the Feng family is Xiangling's mother or not, they will probably decide after they meet.
It can be revealed.”
Xiangling, who was already in tears, said excitedly: "Second Master, have you brought my mother?"
Jia Yun smiled: "We still don't know whether she is your mother. We will tell you after we meet her."
Haha, Jia Yun can be sure that Feng will definitely recognize Xiang Ling once she sees her!
The original work says that a young monk who lived in the Calabash Temple near Zhen's house could recognize Xiang Ling after many years. How could Feng, as Xiang Ling's mother, not recognize her?
After saying that, Jia Yun asked the little maid to go out and bring Feng in.
Jia Yun secretly sighed in her heart: Next is to witness the touching moment of mother and daughter getting together!
Sure enough, when Mrs. Feng walked into the Mingjian and saw Xiangling, Mrs. Feng immediately recognized Xiangling. Although it had been many years, Xiangling's general appearance was still the same as when she was a child, not to mention the little grain of rice between her eyebrows.
Big and small rouge moles...
In fact, even though Mrs. Feng is much older than she was after these years of suffering, Xiangling's memories of her childhood were brought back when she saw Mrs. Feng, and she was able to recognize the sallow-looking "mother-in-law" in front of her.
, it is my mother who still has the charm from back then.
So, mother and daughter Feng and Xiangling hugged each other and cried loudly!
What a touching scene!
Even Bu Wuniang was moved to tears, Xiren, Zijuan, Qingwen, and Liu Wuer were also moved to tears.
