The eldest son of the red mansion

Not to mention, there are still many strong men patrolling around on the street. Seeing the blatant appearance of these people, Zhen Zhenxian already understood from the bottom of his heart that something is really wrong with his home this time.

It turned out that these people who were blatantly monitoring the Zhen family were sent by Jia Yucun. This Jia Yucun is not a good official. When he was in Jinling City, he also worked hand in hand with the Zhen family and took advantage of it.

But there is one thing, Jia Yucun is loyal to Jia Ke, ever since he received Jia Ke's letter, this Jia Yucun has taken heart, and immediately cut off all contact with the Zhen family.

This time, when the imperial envoy came, he became even more unscrupulous, and immediately sent people to drive away all the hawkers near Zhen's house, just because he was afraid that those people in Zhen's house would fish in troubled waters and abscond quietly.

Zhen Zhenxian returned to the Zhen family compound and came to the main hall. There are already more than a dozen old people waiting for him. These are the elders of various clans of the Zhen family. Now they are discussing how to get over this difficult time. .

As soon as these people saw that Zhen Zhenxian had returned, they surrounded him together and couldn't wait to ask.

"How is it? Did Mr. Tian agree to mediate for us?"

"Has the silver been sent out? What is the reply of the imperial envoy?"

Zhen Zhenxian pushed these people away with a gloomy face, and then went directly to the center of the lobby and sat down.

These people also saw that Zhen Zhenxian's complexion was not good, and knew that this time might not go well, so they all walked around quietly one by one, waiting for Zhen Zhenxian to introduce the situation.

Zhen Zhenxian sat in the middle and took a breath, and then said: "Master Tian may not be able to help this time, he didn't even accept the money I sent. Let's quickly find another way."

At this moment, the people below became a mess. Tian Ye is one of the biggest backers of their family. After all, Tian Ye is the minister of military affairs, and his words are very important in the court. Now even he can't help. Who else can speak for their family?

One of the old men who was nearly [-] years old suddenly stood up as soon as he slapped the table, and then pointed at Zhen Zhenxian and cursed: "You spoiled son, when you wanted to do this, I absolutely opposed it. I don't understand, how did you come up with this idea, don't you know that your arms can't twist your thighs?"

Zhen Zhenxian's face is very ugly now, but he can't refute it with a word.

At this time, another older man stood beside him, and said to the [-]-year-old man, "Since the fourth sit back, the sky hasn't fallen yet."

Hearing this, the sixty-year-old man could only helplessly sit back on the chair, but stared at Zhen Zhenxian wishing he could eat him.

Seeing that someone helped him out, Zhen Zhenxian hurriedly said to the old man gratefully: "Thank you uncle, this time it was not my idea alone. Everyone was there at the time, but in the end there was no objection?"

The oldest old man nodded and said: "This time the disaster is not small, I'm afraid we can't bear it anymore, you should go to the inner house and talk to your mother, and then write a letter to Beijing, begging our concubine Empress, if it doesn't work, I can only put down this face and go to the old lady of Rongguo Mansion."

Zhen Zhenxian nodded and said nothing more, this was also the last resort.

The 6-year-old fourth master, after listening to these words, thought for a while and said, "Should we make some preparations, just in case?"

When Zhen Zhenxian heard what he said, he could only explain to him: "Fourth uncle, I'm afraid it won't work. Have you noticed that there are at least two or three hundred people under surveillance around our house, and they are sent to other places. Which one dares to accept it?"

Chapter 549

After listening to Zhen Zhenxian's words, the sixty-year-old man said: "If you want me to say that Baoyu and a few girls are sent to the Rongguo Mansion in the capital city in the name of visiting relatives, these scoundrels of Jia Ke will not dare to stop them even if they have the courage. Rongguo Mansion, as long as the old ladies there leave them behind for a moment, I don’t think anyone in the world would dare to go to Rongguo Mansion to arrest people.”

Zhen Zhenxian was shocked when he heard this, why didn't he think of it?It's just that Jia Ke didn't let herself go, as long as the old lady spoke, the big thing would be over.

So he bowed his hands to the old man and said, "Thank you fourth uncle for reminding me, I'll talk to my mother after I go now, and see what the old man thinks."

The [-]-year-old man nodded, turned around and left the main hall. He went back to prepare. He still had a lucky heart and asked the master's family to send Baoyu and a few girls to the capital. He secretly saw if it was possible. Send your own to the countryside quietly, and let them hide their names.

And the old man in the middle, looking at these two people, shook his head, thinking about these things at this time, it seemed that he was doomed.

Besides, Zhen Zhenxian went back to the inner house and changed his clothes after seeing off the clan members and elders before heading to his mother's yard.

When they arrived at the main room where his mother lived, the maids went in to announce and opened the curtain to send Zhen Zhenxian into the main room.

As soon as Zhen Zhenxian entered the main room, he saw his child Zhen Baoyu, nestled in the arms of the old lady, joking with him, looking out of shape.

As soon as Zhen Baoyu saw his father coming, his expression changed immediately, and he hurriedly saluted Zhen Zhenxian.

Zhen Zhenxian didn't have time to teach this rebellious son a lesson, so he just waved him away.

Zhen Baoyu disappeared in no time as if she had received an amnesty.

Seeing this, his mother complained and said: "It's always like this, Baoyu was scared out of his wits by you."

Zhen Zhenxian hurriedly saluted his mother first, and then replied: "Baoyu is really useless, if this continues, what will our family do in the future?"

The old lady knew the same reason, but she couldn't bear to take care of Baoyu, so she could only keep silent.

Seeing that the old lady remained silent, Zhen Zhenxian could only continue to say, "Mother, I am here this time to discuss something with you."

After listening to her son's words, the old lady of the Zhen family waved her hand to let all the maids and women below go out.

"Just tell me if you have anything to say? I know what you are, and you can't come without something important."

Zhen Zhenxian said ashamedly: "It's all because the sons didn't live up to their expectations. This time, there was a disaster. It depends on the mother to avoid it."

The old lady Zhenmu closed her eyes and thought for a while and said, "Is it because of the grain harvest this year?"

"Mother is really insightful."

"This matter is a bit too hasty. If the Jia family's power is stable in another year or two, we are giving them a reminder. I think they will not care about us for the stability of the world."

Zhen Zhenxian stood there silently listening to his mother's teaching, thinking about the meaning of her words.

Mother Zhen went on to say: "And now that the Jia family has just gained power, and they are thinking of killing chickens and monkeys, you join in. If he doesn't punish you, who will you punish?"

After Zhen Zhenxian finished, it was like seeing the moon immediately after clearing the clouds. What I didn't understand before was completely understood now.

"Also ask my mother to give me an idea."

Mother Zhen was still thinking deeply with her eyes closed, thinking about how to get through this difficult time.

"I reminded you at the time that you didn't take my words to heart. Now that you are at the end of your rope, the solution is one. Send a message to the empress in the palace, asking her to go to Fengzao Palace to plead with Empress Xiande, One is that I personally wrote a letter to Rongguo Mansion to show to the old lady there, and asked her to scratch us this time for the sake of my relatives for several lifetimes."

After Zhen Zhenxian finished listening, he could only nod his head. These methods of his mother were just pinning his hopes on others.My own Zhen family didn't take any actual actions, but at this point, people are fighting for swords, and I am fish and meat, so this is the only way to do it.

Zhen Zhenxian thought for a while, and then told his mother about the idea that his fourth uncle gave him in the main hall just now.

Mother Zhen nodded after thinking for a while, even if she could not overcome the difficulties this time, she could keep Baoyu and the girls, and it would be regarded as leaving a future for the Zhen family.

After Zhen Zhenxian went out, Zhen's mother sat there and began to sigh. In fact, she also knew in her heart that the disaster this time was not caused by harvesting food.

Over the years, they have used the power of the Supreme Emperor to control the secret guards in the south of the Yangtze River. To be honest, the power of the Zhen family in the south of the Yangtze River has expanded greatly.

There are some things that offend people. If you hand over the hidden guards, although you can get peace for a while, there will be endless troubles.

Originally, mother Zhen wanted to stop it with all her strength after getting the news from the front, but thinking back, if she didn't take risks, the Zhen family would gradually decline in the future, and in the end they would be eaten up by these gentry in Jiangnan, so she didn't I tried my best to stop the front, and there was still a little luck in my heart. I never thought that disaster would come immediately.This Jia Ke doesn't care about helping each other with her relatives for several lifetimes, she only cares about power.

Zhen Zhenxian didn't do anything else for the next day or two, the only thing he did was to change Zhen Baoyu and the girls in the mansion all over again.

Then in a lively noon, these girls and Zhen Baoyu were sent out of the Zhen residence through the corner gate.

Those who monitored them did not expect that Zhen Zhenxian would send people out when people came and went at noon, and these people did not specialize in doing this, and the Zhen family they monitored was the head of the spies. It could be prevented, so in a moment of negligence, Zhen Baoyu and the others left Jinling City and went straight to the capital by boat.

The rest of the Zhen family saw that Zhen Zhenxian had quietly sent their children out of Jinling City, and wanted to follow suit, so they made their own plans. As a result, they were discovered by those who were watching them as soon as they left the house, and then they were kicked out go back.
