Struggle of Baochai

"Madam, Master Zhen and Mrs. Zhen are here."

While everyone was thinking about it, the steward of the outer court came over to answer.

"Which Master Zhen?"

The eldest wife of the third room was startled, and asked Mrs. Xue disregarding the rules first.

The steward glanced at Mrs. Xue, nodded when he saw it, and replied cautiously: "It's Mr. Zhen, the new head of the Shanghai Customs."

"It's him?" The third wife took a deep breath: "Does Master Zhen still have some relationship with the Zhen family? He was a Jinshi during the Tianyou period and won the trust of the regent. Now that Shanghai Customs is newly opened, Princess Duanhui recommends him To be the first head of the customs?"

"It's Master Zhen." The steward of the outer court agreed: "Madam, what do you want now?"

"Hurry up and open the middle door, let... that's all, Baochai and I will go to greet you in person." Mrs. Xue shouted, and then said to her sisters-in-law: "I'm really sorry, there are guests at home... "

Those few were startled, they didn't dare to have any thoughts at all, and they were afraid of Mr. Zhen's power, so they all got up and said goodbye. Only the second wife was wondering how the first room got connected with the Zhen family, and she thought it was necessary to go back. figure it out.

Asking the steward to send away the wives in all seven rooms, Mrs. Xue and Baochai hurriedly arranged their makeup and clothes, and hurried to the main gate to meet Zhen's couple.

If it is said that Baochai was not very clear about the duties of the customs, but now she has a clear mind, this Lord Zhen is definitely a person who is in the heart of the emperor.

A few days ago, when she learned of Xiangling's life experience, Baochai had already read the newspaper and studied Master Zhen's background.

Zhen Shiyin, a Jinshi of Tianyou for three years, once served as the magistrate of Yongfeng County, Ji'an Prefecture, Jiangxi Province. After three years, he was promoted to Tongzhi of Ji'an Prefecture because of his meritorious service in governing Yongfeng, and later became the prefect of Ji'an Prefecture. After being released from prison, for some unknown reason, he did not return to Ji'an Mansion but went to teach at Kyoto University. Although he was a teacher, he still had his official position, which was more expensive than other teachers.

In the 13th year of Tianyou, Zhen Shiyin became the vice president of Kyoto University, and was sent to the customs until the beginning of last year, recommended by Princess Duanhui.

When Zhen Shiyin took the Jinshi examination, it happened to be during the regency of Princess Duanhui's mother. As a Jinshi, he was a student of the Prince Regent. He became the head of the customs because Princess Duanhui recommended him. , even the earlier Emperor Tianyou and the current Emperor Qianyuan also trusted him.

What's more, the current prime minister was also promoted by the regent back then, and he is of the same line as Zhen Shiyin. Therefore, although Zhen Shiyin's official position is not very high, his connections are extremely deep, and his background is extremely noble. up.

While Baochai was thinking, he had already moved to the door, and saw a four-wheeled carriage parked at the door. The car is full of clothes and I don't know what it is.

A girl in apricot clothes was standing under the car, reaching out to caress a beautiful woman in her 40s and [-]s to get off the car. After she got out of the car, she got closer and saw that her face was a bit haggard, and thin crow's feet could be seen at the end of her eyes. Presumably, she was much older than she looked.

On the other side of the carriage, a middle-aged man in his 50s and [-]s with short hair and wearing a blue robe turned around, reached out to support the beautiful woman and whispered a few words of comfort.

Looking up, he saw Mrs. Xue came out with a girl, seven or eight maids, and miscellaneous people in charge. The middle-aged man quickly straightened his clothes and stepped forward, saying, "This is Mrs. Xue, my benefactor. Shi Yin is very anxious." Please forgive me for coming here.”

The beautiful woman beside him gave a deep salute: "Feng's family is very polite."

Mrs. Xue was busy returning the gift, and Baochai also hurriedly saluted Zhen Shiyin and sealed her.

After the salute, Mrs. Xue said with a smile: "A few days ago, I was thinking about when you will come. We are looking forward to it sooner or later. Today is really a happy event."

Baochai smiled and said, "Mom, Mrs. Zhen and Mrs. Zhen are exhausted after a long journey, please come home and wait for them to wash up before talking."

Mrs. Xue nodded: "Yes, Lord Zhen, Mrs. Zhen please."

A group of people entered the house, but the stewards brought by the Zhen family and the stewards of the Xue family were carrying things outside the door, and it took them two or three hours to carry the things brought down by the Zhen family.

As soon as Zhen's couple entered the main hall of Xue's house, Feng couldn't help but look forward to the direction of the inner courtyard with tears in his eyes: "Mrs. Xue, where is my poor daughter?"

"This?" Mrs. Xue was a little embarrassed: "Mrs. Zhen, let's talk after a break."

Zhen Shiyin stood up and said, "There's no need to rest. She's always talking about Yinglian along the way. If I don't let her see her, I'm afraid I won't be able to do anything."

Baochai also said: "Mom, let's invite Miss Zhen out to see you first."

Mrs. Xue hurriedly asked someone to call Xiangling. For a while, Xiangling brought Que'er into the door. When Mrs. Feng saw Xiangling's appearance, she couldn't hold it back anymore, and fell down on the chair crying.

When Xiangling was abducted by a kidnapper, she already had some memories, but she didn't have any memories of seeing her family for so many years.

Now that I saw my biological mother, all the memories about my family that remained deep in my memory came to my mind for a while, and I couldn't help but burst into tears.

Even Zhen Shiyin turned around and wiped away tears.

There were tears in Baochai's eyes, Mrs. Xue was the most tender-hearted, and she started to cry when she saw this scene.

For a while, there was crying in the main hall.

Feng took Xiang Ling's hand and looked carefully, then stroked her head to see her appearance clearly, and then looked at the rouge mole on her forehead, she didn't know that this was her own daughter.

"My son, I really want to be my mother." Hugging Xiangling, who should be called Zhen Yinglian now, Feng cried again.

Zhen Shiyin couldn't see it, so he came over to pick up the two mothers, looked at Yinglian carefully, and combined the image of his daughter in his memory with the girl in front of him, and because he was a blood relative, he was familiar with Yinglian's kindness and kindness. Love cannot be faked, Zhen Shiyin was excited and sad, a big man hugged Yinglian like a woman and cried a few times: "My son, you were abducted back then, and you searched all over for your father. No, but it hurts."

Yinglian was finally able to see her parents, her loving mother, and her father's gentleness. She was determined, and after crying for a while, she wiped away her tears and tried to persuade her parents.

Finally, the family calmed down, Feng Shi hugged Yinglian and sat down, Zhen Shiyin also sat aside, the family of three looked very close, but Baochai felt sore when he thought of his father and brother.

Mrs. Xue wiped away her tears with a smile on her face: "You are finally reunited as a family. This is a good thing and a happy event. This ordeal is finally over. From now on, your family will be safe and happy for the rest of your life. No more suffering."

"Thank you for your good words." Feng thanked Mrs. Xue, and saw that Yinglian's dress was no different from that of Baochai. benevolence and righteousness.
