There is no phoenix

After hearing this, Yuanyang burst into tears and said, "Old lady, I know you are doing it for my own good, but let me tell you, others may not take the vows they made seriously, but I am different from Yuanyang, and I will do what I say. My wife loved me a lot, and I also respect her. If the old lady still feels pity for me, then promise me not to talk about how the old man married, and I will never agree to it even if I die."

When Jia Mu heard this, she could only sigh: "Good boy, don't be sad, of course I won't force you. Just to make my infatuated old son change his mind, you have to get married as soon as possible so that he can give up. I Now tell you about the second family. Outside our mansion, there is a young man who is 21 years old and looks very neat. They said that he can come into the mansion to show you. If you want, I will let him in tomorrow. As long as You are married, and with me here, my old son will not do anything to you anymore. What do you think?"

After hearing this, Yuanyang remembered what Jia She said, if it was outside the mansion, who else could escape Jia She's grasp?The wound on Yanhong's hand, and those desperate words, seemed to be in his ears.It seemed that he had to make up his mind quickly.

Thinking of this, Yuanyang said: "Old lady, if you really love me, I just hope that the old lady will fulfill her previous promise and give me freedom after the next year. Now it is only more than a month before Chinese New Year, when the time comes, the old lady will pity Yuanyang and let me Get out of here. As for whom to marry, just follow fate and don't bother the old lady. The old lady is getting old, I just hope you can take care of yourself, even if my golden mandarin duck reaches the ends of the earth, I will thank the old lady for the rest of my life."

After Yuanyang finished speaking, she knelt down and kowtowed in front of Jiamu, which made Jiamu feel a little guilty for a while.

Jia Mu sighed: "Forget it, Yuanyang, you get up first, don't do this. Don't worry, I will remember what I promised you."

Yuanyang knelt down and said: "Old lady, then you can give Yuanyang a specific date now, such as the first day of the first lunar month or the second day of the first lunar month for me to be free?"

Mother Jia thought for a while and said, "Well, Yuanyang, I will sell you a contract on the fifth day of the first lunar month. From then on, you will be a free man. If you want to go, you can stay with yourself."

Yuanyang kowtowed and said: "Thank you, old lady, for your kindness. I, Yuanyang, will be your servant in my next life, and I will repay you!"

Seeing that Yuanyang spoke so emotionally and decisively, Jia's mother sighed: "Yuanyang, it seems that we only have the fate of master and servant, not mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Get up."

Yuanyang then stood up and was still helping Jiamu grind ink. Jiamu said, "After sitting for so long and talking so much, I don't want to write now. I'd better wait for Baoyu's father to come back."

However, Liu Xianglian from Liuzhai didn't know about the ransacking of the Ningguo Mansion until noon on the [-]th, when she had dinner with Zhang Jun and Zhang Jian in the Western Beijing Military Camp.

It turned out that because Tang Biao in the Western Beijing military camp had a cold, Zhang Jian went back to the imperial city to buy medicine for Zhang Jian, and heard many people rumors that Ningguo Mansion was ransacked.Although it was not the Rongguo Mansion that was ransacked, Zhang Jian was very happy.Because I finally know that the emperor is beginning to keep his promise.

Pretending to be a tea guest, Zhang Jian wandered around the imperial city for a week, and went to see the Ningguo Mansion. Sure enough, he saw that the gate of the Ningguo Mansion had been sealed, so he returned to the Jingxi Military Camp, and took this Informed Zhang Jun and Liu Xianglian.

Liu Xianglian was very surprised when she heard this, but it was hard to say that Ningguo Mansion was her wife's natal home.He thought that Shui Rong had come to him at dusk yesterday, saying that Princess Lin wanted to see Xichun, but he didn't mention anything about Ningguo Mansion.

Returning to the city from the Western Jingxi Military Camp in the evening, Liu Xianglian went to Feng Ziying's place first, and learned how the Ningguo Mansion was raided, and sighed: "No wonder my sister left there so decisively. Fortunately, the emperor sent me to the Western Beijing Military Camp, otherwise Let me go to Ningguo Mansion on business, I don't know how to tell my sister in the future."

Feng Ziying said: "That's right, neither you nor me were sent, even the young prince didn't know. The young prince said that he was going back from you to see the prince of Beijing to leave the mansion, and he went up to ask and found out that the emperor was because of the food and grass in the east city. He was burned, and some people reported that Ningguo Mansion gathered people to gamble when they went to court, so they ordered the prince and Prince Beijing to go there. Originally, the emperor also wanted to bury Qin Keqing in Ningguo Mansion that day, saying that if the prince and Prince Beijing went to Ningguo Mansion There has been some restraint there, and they can be dealt with lightly, but they are still drinking and gambling, and there are many cars and horses outside the house, making the crown prince and the king of Beijing Jing angry."

Liu Xianglian said: "If it's just gathering people to gamble and seduce the children of the aristocratic family, I'm afraid Jia Zhen and his son will not be in danger of their lives. Just don't find out that there are other disasters."

Feng Ziying nodded and said: "I went to Dongcheng today, and the young prince said that he was still hiding the truth from Princess Lin and Xianglian. You and the fourth girl have not been married for a long time, so I suggest you also hide it first. Anyway, the Ministry of Criminal Justice has not yet convicted so quickly. "

Liu Xianglian sighed: "That's all I can do. However, I want to go there to see Jia Zhen and his son when I have time. I know them, so they probably won't think about other places."

Feng Ziying said: "Xiang Lian, if you want to visit them, I can also go with you. The emperor knows that we all know Jia Zhen, and we are not here to intercede. However, if you visit them, they will definitely be very surprised , what will you say to them then?"

Liu Xianglian said: "I'll go and see them first, and if they are missing something, I can send some to them as a way of being a friend. Ziying, you don't know, my sister is stubborn, she looks cold and cold, but she doesn't have it in her heart." It's so cold. If I don't go to see them, I will feel ashamed of my sister for the rest of my life."

Feng Ziying smiled and said: "Of course I know the temperament of the fourth girl. My one is not the same. She has been wronged for so many years as a monk, but her affection for the emperor and even the whole royal family is no less than any other royal family. I just asked for leave. , She also often reminded him not to miss the official business. Lin Wangfei is also like this, if she is not very sick, she has been hiding the truth from the young prince, and reminds the young prince every day not to miss the official business. , in front of us, we will never say anything about Jia’s family.”

Liu Xianglian said: "It's a day to be able to hide it. In this way, I will come back earlier on the 21st, and then we will go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to see them."

Feng Ziying nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you at home!"

In the next few days, Liu Xianglian learned that the female family members of the Ningguo Mansion had been redeemed by the Rongguo Mansion, and the servants had been sold. Knowing that the emperor did not blame those innocent female family members and children, Liu Xianglian felt at ease.

Even so, every time Liu Xianglian came home, Xichun quickly ran down the steps, took Liu Xianglian's cloak and greeted her relatives. On their own infinite tenderness.

On the night of the [-]th, Xichun leaned in Liu Xianglian's arms and said emotionally: "Brother Liu, we have been married for more than half a month in a blink of an eye. I want to ask Brother Liu to help me with something, and I hope Brother Liu will agree."

Liu Xianglian stretched out her hand to stroke Xichun's face and said: "Sister, just say what you want, we are already husband and wife, your business is my business, so why don't you help me?"

Xichun said: "Brother, do you know that I can marry you as a wife now, who helped me get through so many difficulties?"

Liu Xianglian said, "Is that your sister Lin?"

Xichun shook her head and said: "No, it's a color screen. In the Grand View Garden, since Miaoyu's sister Lin left, my third sister was also taken to Nan'an Palace. From then on, spend the long night with me and listen to my heart Even if I plan to leave Jia’s mansion, it’s Caiping who will help me to accompany me without hesitation. Brother Liu, if it weren’t for Caiping, I wouldn’t be able to leave Jia’s mansion, let alone go to Gusu.”

Liu Xianglian said: "Sister, I know, how do you want me to help her?"

Xichun said: "Now I have a place to live. On the day of our wedding, I promised Caiping that from now on, she will be like my sister Lin and Miao, and she will be my own sister. Brother, I know you There are quite a few young people in the Imperial Guard, you can choose a good man for Caiping and make Caiping a decent home, okay?"

Liu Xianglian listened and said with a smile: "It's easy, don't talk about others, now there are three good men like me in the Western Beijing Military Camp, but they don't have a house yet."

After Liu Xianglian finished speaking, she talked about the three brothers Zhang Jun, Zhang Jian and Tang Biao.Only the matter of Brother Jin was concealed, because this matter has already been implicated in Jia's house.

After hearing this, Xichun smiled and said, "Which of the three brothers do you think is more suitable for a color screen?"

Liu Xianglian said: "I don't know about that. You can ask Cai Ping carefully tomorrow, what kind of man do you like. Zhang Jun and Zhang Jian are very forthright, Tang Biao is not very talkative, and he is very nice."

Xichun thought for a while and said: "How about this, big brother, you have to talk to them one by one when you have time. Zhang Jun is the oldest, so talk to him first. If he is interested, you can bring him to our house for dinner. Let him meet Caiping As long as Zhang Jun is willing, we will help them with other things."

Liu Xianglian smiled and said, "Okay, I'll follow my sister."
