Lord of Fortune

The letter from Yizhou was quickly delivered to Han Mengqin. Han Mengqin only glanced at the signer of the letter, but did not open it, and smiled coldly: "The news of dismissal has just reached Yizhou. My good father sent someone to send this letter in a hurry, and he knew it was to plead for mercy. Since he had the face to do such a thing, why should he ask me now!"

Vanilla stepped forward obediently, and offered Han Mengqin her favorite tea, glanced at the letter, showing disdain on her face: "Princess, please take this letter away for you, leave no excuses." Respondent." As he spoke, he scolded the little girl who brought the letter to Baba: "In the future, the letters from Yizhou don't have to be sent to the princess, so as not to upset the princess."

The little maid had only entered the mansion not long ago, and she didn't know what the relationship between Han Mengqin and Master Han was. After listening to Xiang Cao's words, she learned that the relationship between the princess and that Master Han in Yizhou was probably not good. Immediately, he lowered his head and dared not make a sound.

Han Mengqin glanced at her indifferently, and there was a terrifying light in her beautiful eyes, which made people dare not make mistakes.The little servant girl just felt that she was staring at her like this, and she broke out in a layer of cold sweat, and immediately made up her mind that in the future, she must obey Vanilla's order and stop pretending to be smart.

"Okay, step back, you have nothing to do here."

After Xiang Cao waved the little girl back, she muttered: "The new batch of people are not well-behaved, so they have to be trained again."

……

At that time, the Han family was in a gloomy state.

Both Mr. Han and Mrs. Han were taken away. Mrs. Han was crying at home, and said after a while: "My granddaughter is the royal princess, you can't treat my son like this, let him go quickly, or I will make you look good." !" After a while, he asked again: "Go and see, has my good granddaughter sent someone back? Her father has been arrested, and it is time for her support. Why is she not here..."

Han Mengling and Han Mengyin looked at each other, both of them were helpless.

When Han Mengqin was still at home, Mrs. Han didn't treat her well.When Han Mengqin left the Han family and returned to Beijing, the old lady Han still looked like she wanted to drive Han Mengqin out of the house, but since Han Mengqin was named the princess of Pingyang, in the mouth of the old lady Han, Han Mengqin Qin has turned from a shame to her pride, bragging about how filial her granddaughter is to everyone, no one knows how good the relationship between Mrs. Han and Han Mengqin is.

From then on, Han Mengling and Han Mengyin knew that their seemingly rigid grandmother was also a person who knew how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

It's a pity that no matter how well she acts in front of others, she can't fool herself or her two granddaughters.

After being urged by Mrs. Han to write a letter to ask for help from Han Mengqin again, Han Mengling took Han Mengyin to the small study room: "What can we do with this matter? Eldest sister obviously doesn't want to intervene. Now father and mother are still in prison It's closed..."

After all, Master Han and Mrs. Han are Han Mengling's parents. Although there are some shortcomings, Han Mengling still hopes that they will come out sooner.Therefore, not only Mrs. Han paid attention to the news in the capital, but also Han Mengling.Han Mengling knew in her heart that Han Mengqin had an enmity with Mr. Han and Mrs. Han, and it was unlikely that she would speak up for them, but she still couldn't help secretly hoping that Han Mengqin would take care of the bond of flesh and blood.

Compared with Han Mengling, Han Mengyin is much more sensible. She took a sip of tea, and then said slowly: "Second sister thinks, does eldest sister help father or wife out? Or, according to the crimes committed by father and wife, Does Second Sister think they should be let out?"

Han Mengling's face turned pale, Han Mengyin's words broke her self-deception.

Han Mengyin said: "It seems that the second sister has also figured it out. It is impossible for the eldest sister to cover up the father for personal gain. Grandmother wants the eldest sister to intercede with the emperor and empress to release the father. That is impossible."

Unlike Han Mengling, Han Mengyin didn't have much affection for Master Han and Mrs. Han, so she was able to look at the problem more rationally in this matter.

Han Mengyin stared into Han Mengling's eyes, and said seriously: "Actually, in my opinion, being imprisoned is a good thing for father and wife. Ever since the eldest sister became princess, father and wife have become more and more unscrupulous. No matter what they did, the big sister would take care of them, but they didn’t know that the law of the country is not merciful. Although the father and wife made mistakes, fortunately, they were not such terrible mistakes. Let them learn some lessons. In the future, they Just be honest. This is a good thing for them and for the big sister."

Han Mengling nodded: "You are right."

These days, Han Mengling took care of the Shuren organization for Han Mengqin, and she got in touch with a lot of things outside, and Han Mengling also gained a lot of knowledge, and she was no longer the ignorant little girl she used to be.

After Master Han and Mrs. Han did those things, she also tried to persuade her parents, but perhaps because of unsatisfactory life, Master Han and Mrs. Han's temperament became more and more left.I hope that the lessons learned this time can really wake them up and live a peaceful life in the future.

"Big sister refuses to make a move. Grandmother will definitely not give up. We have to think of a countermeasure first. Don't let grandma spread nonsense and ruin big sister's reputation." Han Mengyin said.

Because Han Mengqin valued it, Han Mengling now has a lot of face in this three-acre land.She is well aware of how she changed from an unfavored concubine daughter of the Han family to an existence that even the daughters of high-ranking officials greet her with a smile, so she is very protective of Han Mengqin.Whenever there is anything that may hurt Han Mengqin's interests, she will try her best to stop it.

"Grandmother suddenly heard the news that father and wife were taken away. She was overly sad and fell ill. From today on, all posts to grandma will be pushed. Let grandma recuperate at home."

Han Mengling looked at Han Mengyin in surprise: "You, you want to..." Put grandma under house arrest?

There was silence in Han Mengyin's eyes, she said unquestionably: "Let's do it like this."

Although she was younger, she was more and more like Han Mengqin. When she spoke with a tiger's face, even Han Mengling didn't dare to refute her.

The old lady Han who was still showing off her might in the Han Mansion didn't know that her fate had already been sealed.In the future, she can only be a noble decoration in Han Mansion.For this unclear grandmother, Han Mengyin will not indulge.

"It's really not easy for big sister to get to where she is today. This incident has also reminded us. In the future, we have to restrain our own family members. I will tell the patriarch tomorrow, but whoever dares to Doing evil under the banner of big sister, discrediting big sister, and directly expelling the family."

Han Mengling was dumbfounded: "This punishment is too severe, right?"

"If you are not strict, how can you deter some ignorant clansmen?" Han Mengyin said: "Elder sister gave me 3000 taels of silver and asked me to divide it into four parts for the clansmen to use. Of the 1000 taels, elder sister asked me to give it to the clan. Zhongmai Sacrifice Field——Our family has made a fortune not long ago, and the population is small. The 1000 taels of sacrificial land is more than enough for our Han family to chew on. In addition, there is 1000 taels of silver as money to support the clansmen to study. Elder sister is lenient to outsiders, and she will treat our own family just as well. If there are seedlings of that kind among our clan, eldest sister will naturally not be stingy."

"The remaining 1000 taels will be divided into two shares, one for emergency use, and one for rewarding those who have contributed to the clan. If any clansman has a good idea, you can also use the other money as a realization The funds for that idea. I will hand over the money to the patriarch, who will use it and be supervised by the elders. Big sister is a person who values ​​affection. will do them a disservice."

Han Mengling had to admit that Han Mengqin was very thoughtful.Hit with a stick, and then give a sweet date, so that the clansmen will not be afraid of restlessness.

"Then... the father and the others... shall we just leave it alone?" Han Mengling couldn't worry about her parents after all.

Han Mengyin said: "I have checked our Daqi law code. According to the mistakes made by my father and wife, I am afraid that I will be exiled. At that time, let's help my father and wife to take care of one or two, so that the life of father and wife will not be too sad. , is our filial piety as daughters. At that time, the eldest sister will definitely send some things over, and for the sake of the elder sister, those jailers should not make things difficult for the father and wife."

Han Mengyin has already made up her mind, if Han Mengqin is unwilling to send someone to deliver something, then she will prepare something in Han Mengqin's name and send it to Master Han and Mrs. Han.No matter how bad Mr. Han is, as daughters, they have to do their best to save face, so as not to be criticized for this.

Hearing this, Han Mengling sighed and stopped talking.She is not as successful as Han Mengqin, nor as courageous as Han Mengling. In this case, following Han Mengling's words seems to be the best choice.

Han Mengyin quickly found the patriarch and explained what Han Mengqin meant.

For Han Mengqin's orders, the patriarch cooperated quite well.Since the rise of Han Mengqin, the Han family has gained a lot of glory, which is an honor that several generations of the Han family have not been able to earn.Therefore, even though Han Mengqin was young enough to be the patriarch's granddaughter, the patriarch still regarded her words as golden rules.

Most of the people of the Han clan have a mellow heart, and whatever the patriarch says, that's all.

Only a small number of clan members were dissatisfied with this matter - Han Mengqin donated tens of millions of money at will, how could he be so stingy when it was used to resettle the clansmen?Could it be that in Han Mengqin's eyes, these clansmen are not as good as some strangers?

"We have to think of a way to make things worse, so that girl Qin can spend more money for us. Now that girl Qin has become the princess, speaking of which, we are also considered relatives of the emperor, and a few thousand taels of silver is enough do what?"

"That's very true. According to me, Girl Qin should give tens of thousands of taels to each family, so that the clansmen can set up their own businesses."

"It's just that we are separated from girl Qin by a layer, so it's not good to just speak rashly like this. Let's go to girl Qin's grandmother. She is girl Qin's elder. She will come forward, even girl Qin dare not." reject!"

These people handed out greeting cards one after another, and they were going to come to visit Mrs. Han.It's a pity that Han Mengyin was already prepared to block all these people from the door, not even letting in the threshold.

Seeing these people leave cursingly, Han Mengling looked at Han Mengyin with some disapproval: "They came here to visit grandma on purpose, even if we don't let them see grandma, we should invite them in for a while, shall we? They chased us away, they didn't know how to organize us when they went outside!"

Han Mengyin sneered and said: "My good sister, have you ever heard a saying that it is easier to ask the Buddha than to give it away? As soon as these people arrive at our door, their eyes start to roll around, obviously they are planning something. Such a People, I am impatient to deal with them. The patriarch has already informed the people of the new rules. Looking back, if these people dare to do something, we can just use them to make an example of others, so that the people of the family know that we are not talking casually!"
