Chapter 42: The Yong family has avenged their grievances

Views:

That afternoon, Feng Liao took Yong Ruo back to her natal home.

Zhou was very pleasantly surprised, and pulled Yong Ruo to look and look, with a smile on his face and tears in his eyes.

"I thought I had already stepped into the coffin with one foot. The last time you came back was the last time for the two of you. Who would have thought that God has mercy on me? Doctor Xu and your folk prescription are very effective and brought me back to life... "Zhou said, wiping away tears.

"That's Niangji's celestial appearance, and he was rescued by a nobleman like Mr. Feng!" Yong Ruo glanced at Fengliao, the sparkle in his eyes.

Feng Liao put her hands behind her back, raised her chin slightly, and smiled very reservedly.

Zhou said with a smile: "That's your blessing, and it's also my good fortune!"

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Feng Liao waved his hand, and Jiao Tong took two steps forward, and presented the house deed and land deed with the names of Yong Qiao and Yong Miao, together with the family card of the Yong family, to Zhou with both hands.

"What is this?" Zhou, who didn't know why, took it, took a closer look, and was shocked, "This... this... what's going on?"

Feng Liao explained her plan, and said, "No matter whether the second brother Yong and the third brother Yong can make achievements in the examination room, I will ask Ruoruo to be a side concubine. But side concubines and side concubines are also different. If there is a competent person in the natal family, Ruoruo will have more confidence in dealing with other female family members of the royal family in the future. After the birth of my child, if Ruoruo and I have a capable uncle, we will have more opportunities to communicate with the royal family members Two points of respect... "

Looking at the house deed and land deed in her hand, Zhou's fingers trembled slightly, and she was stunned for a while before saying: "The prince gave such a generous gift, how can he explain it to the elders in the family?"

Feng Liao shook her head and said: "I don't need to explain this matter to the elders in my family. I have opened my own mansion. Although the county king's mansion is not as rich as the prince's mansion, it is nothing more than 30,000 taels of silver. Those The Xungui Family bought a troupe of small operas and spent more than this amount of money. If my parents and seniors knew about this, they would at most ask and make fun of it, and would not pay any attention to it at all."

"But..." Mrs. Zhou was still a little worried, "Isn't it too ostentatious for the prince to treat the Yong family so favorably?"

What she really feared in her heart was: when the princess enters the door in the future and finds out about this matter, she doesn't know how to be so cautious!

Feng Liao laughed again: "This is my king's love for Ruoruo, and it's also for the sake of my king's and Ruoruo's children. The lady doesn't have to worry too much, just accept it with a smile. When the lady recovers, please supervise her The second and third younger brothers study, don't let them go astray, that is the best reward for me."

This is the first time he calls himself "the king" in front of Zhou. The implication is: this small amount of money is nothing to me, a majestic prince, so don't refuse.

Yong Ruo also persuaded Mrs. Zhou: "I also agree with this matter. The second and third brothers are not stupid people. Since the prince wants to support them, why not let them try the road of studying and taking the imperial examination? If they are lucky enough to get a job and come back , can also earn a royal order for mother, and shine on the lintel of the Yong family, right?"

Have a dream! What if it comes true

Mrs. Zhou couldn't say anything to refuse!

A thought suddenly flashed in her mind: the prince supports Yong Qiao and Yong Miao to study, is it possible that he wants to avenge the Yong family? If this grievance is not cleared, Yong Qiao and Yong Miao will be the sons of criminals, and they will not even be qualified to enter the examination room, so how can they get fame and order

It's just that this matter was so beautiful that she didn't dare to think about it or ask more questions. So she let Sister Li, who was waiting beside her, help her out of bed, and solemnly blessed Feng Liao: "The prince is so loving, the little lady is ashamed to accept it!"

Feng Liaolian said: "My lady, you don't have to be so polite!" But it was inconvenient to help her with her own hands, so she asked Yong Ruo to support Mrs. Zhou, and said, "After all, I am a junior! My lady bowed to me, which made me feel uneasy."

Only then did Mrs. Zhou lie back on the bed again, and asked Yong Qiao to keep the house deed and the household slip together.

Feng Liao then discussed with the Zhou family about moving.

"My lady chooses a good day, and I will send a proper person to help her move. There is one thing I want to tell my lady: I love the plum tree in the yard outside. After my wife and my second and third brothers move, I will I want to send a gardener to transplant this plum tree to my house. I also hope that my wife will do it."

"It's just a plum tree. If you like it, you can just dig it up."

Then Feng Liao talked about the master he found for Yong Qiao and Yong Miao, and really praised Tan Hua Lang's knowledge and character. Then he said: After moving, Yongjiao and Yongmiao can go to Mr. An's place to have enlightenment.

Yong Qiao and Yong Miao heard their eyes light up, and they kept asking when they would move.

Mrs. Zhou said: "As the saying goes: An inch of time is an inch of gold. Don't delay your studies, pick a day that is closest to you!"

The girl Lianzhi happily went to find Huang Li and handed it to Mrs. Zhou. Zhou chose to move in three days.

For a while, the Yong family was in high spirits.

Yong Qiao and Yong Miao are glad to finally be able to study seriously. Yong Miao was already imagining that after he became a Jinshi and became a high official, he would eat delicious food every day...

The servants of the Yong family were happy because after moving, their living conditions would be greatly improved.

The next day, Mrs. Zhou sent Yong Qiao, Yong Miao and Sister-in-law Li to see the new house.

After Yongqiao and Yongmiao came back, they bragged about the size, layout, furniture, bed curtains and bedding of the new house, wishing they could live in the new house right away. They also went to the door of Mr. An's private school, and squatted for a long time from a distance, but they didn't have the courage to take a closer look.

On the day of the move, Feng Liao sent over a sufficient number of people, and the Yong family didn't have much to move, so they moved away easily, leaving no room for the neighbors who wanted to help and make fun of it. land.

Seeing the Yong family drifting away, the neighbors around talked a lot, their eyes turned green with envy, and they said that the Yong family raised a good daughter, who was born rich and honored, and the whole family was about to prosper!

Another neighbor came over and asked the old servant Fengliao sent to see the house: Is the house of the Yong family going to sell

I made up my mind to pay attention, as long as the Yong family is willing to sell, I will buy this house and benefit from the good feng shui of this house-some Feng Shui masters have already praised this house of the Yong family to the sky!

The old servant pretended to be deaf and dumb, stared and said: How can I know what the master thinks? I'm just a housekeeper!

The Zhou family did not invite the former neighbors to the new house to warm up the house, because Feng Liao had already invited all the officials and their families of the Heng County Prince's Mansion to the Yong's new house to warm up the house.

There is really no way to arrange a seat for two people with such disparity in status. If there is a chance in the future, just invite the one or two who are close to the Yong family and have good family traditions.

Yong Ruo also followed Feng Liao to the Yong family's new house to congratulate him.

Seeing the excited and joyful expressions on the faces of Zhou Shi, Yong Qiao, and Yong Miao, she felt sincerely happy.

When everyone was happy, the gatekeeper came to report: Shuntian Mansion has come!

Zhou's heart was agitated when he heard the official came, and his face suddenly turned pale.

Yong Ruo quickly comforted her: "Mother, don't worry! The Wei family has fallen! Shuntian Mansion Yuemo is here to find the sufferer!"

The Zhou family turned to look at her stupidly, and it took a long time to realize: "The Wei family has fallen?"

Yongruo nodded: "Now Shuntian Mansion is investigating and prosecuting the Wei family's illegal activities. The Ministry of Criminal Affairs and Yushitai have sent officials to supervise and interrogate. Mother, father is about to be punished!"

After she finished speaking briefly, she looked at Mrs. Zhou with a little worry. She has been delaying telling Zhou Shi about the Wei family's news, just wanting to wait until Zhou's health is better, and then let her receive this stimulation, lest extreme joy turn into sorrow.

Zhou stayed there like a wooden man.

After a while, the corners of her mouth twitched, as if she wanted to laugh. But before the smile could unfold, it uncontrollably turned into crying.

Her eyes quickly filled with tears...

All the strength in her body seemed to be taken away by the sudden good news, she couldn't stand at all, she fell to the ground, even Yong Ruo and Sister-in-law Li couldn't help her.

"The Wei family has fallen? The Wei family that has no conscience has fallen?" Mrs. Zhou sat powerlessly on the ground, with the expression on her face like crying and laughing, sad and happy.

In an instant, the tears in her eyes, like broken beads, kept rolling down...

Yong Ruo knelt down in front of her, held her hand and said, "Mother, cry if you want to! Don't hold back..."

Before she finished speaking, she couldn't continue because she wanted to cry too! She couldn't hold back, and shed tears directly with Zhou: "...our family has held back long enough!"

Yong Qiao on the side also burst into tears, and rushed over to hold Zhou's other hand and cried together.

Yong Miao was still young, so he didn't really understand the enmity between his family and the Wei family, but when he saw his mother, brothers and sisters were crying, he was terrified, so he came over and cried together.

Zhou's crying gradually became louder, and in the middle of the crying, there were two vague and strange laughter.

She suddenly looked up at the sky, crying, laughing, and shouting in a stern voice: "Old man! Did you see it? God opened his eyes! Uh, God opened his eyes!! Those dogs of the Wei family who killed thousands of knives will be killed. Retribution... Haha! Retribution!! Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."

The four members of the Yong family hugged each other and cried. Everyone around wiped away their tears.

Feng Liao squatted down, and gently patted Yong Ruo's shoulder to show comfort.

After they had cried enough, Feng Liao persuaded: "Crying too much hurts your body! Let's stop the tears for now and listen to what the people in Shuntian Mansion have to say!"

Crying loudly, Zhou finally washed away all the years of depression with tears, feeling extremely happy.

She was recovering from a long illness, but she didn't feel tired, after freshening up and washing, she went to the front hall in person to meet the servants of Shuntian Mansion.

The servant from the Shuntian Mansion had already been "accompanied by a lot of conversations" by an official of the Hengjun Prince's Mansion. When he saw Mrs. Zhou at this time, his legs were a little weak in fear.

But he was a servant for many years, so he forced himself to pass on the words that should be passed on calmly: Tomorrow, Shuntian Mansion will try the Yong family's restaurant for poisoning, followed by the arson case of the unlucky Yong family's silk and satin shop. Many witnesses and material evidences are ready, only the sufferer of the Yong family needs to come to the hall to testify.

"Please reply to Mr. Fu Yin, the little lady will definitely come to the hall tomorrow! Even if I give up my life, I still want to sue my family for my grievances!" Zhou said forcefully, and began to cry again.

The officer agreed respectfully, left the Yong family shaking his legs, got on a poor horse and returned to Shuntian Mansion, and told the governor about the situation of the Yong family.

Mr. Fu Yin slapped his thigh, and suddenly realized: "I'll just say it! What are the people of the Prince of England going to do to impeach a little Wei family? It turns out that the Prince of Hengjun stood up for the beauty! Tsk tsk, the Prince of Hengjun spared no effort in manpower and material resources, everywhere Search for evidence against the Wei family... From this point of view, this Yongmei is very favored!"

The guard wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, and clucked his tongue: "That's not it! Such a big house with three entrances costs at least six or seven thousand taels. The Prince of Hengjun gave it away as soon as he said it, and even sent all the officials of the palace Go to the warm house... While waiting for Mrs. Yong to come out of the inner house, the little one was 'accompanied' by the officials of the royal family and her stomach and legs trembled... Tsk tsk, I don't know what kind of beauty that Yongmei is. She lives in Mopan Hutong. It has been several years since the place was snatched away by the nearby hooligans, it’s really lucky!”

Mr. Fu Yin shook his head with a smile, and sighed again: "The way of heaven is reincarnation... I feel that this sentence has some sense! When the Wei family was bullying others, how could they think that the daughter of a certain suffering master would have such a blessing?" ?His family does not leave room for anything, no wonder the family business gathers quickly and dissipates quickly! Now, this huge family wealth and the future of the children and grandchildren are about to be ruined... "

After figuring out the cause and effect behind it, he also knew how the case would end!

The next day, Shuntian Mansion held two trials. Mrs. Zhou came to the court in person and complained bitterly about the Wei family's various evil deeds, crying and crying.

Wang Hu, an important witness, was also transferred to Shuntian Mansion. His concubine Qiu Shi has also been arrested. Wang Hu's suspicion of killing his wife and destroying his body was cleared, but he committed adultery with his married wife Qiu Shi, and framed his master who had taken in and raised him for many years.

A few days later, Shuntian Mansion concluded the Wei family's case, submitted it to the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and handed over the dossier and memorial to the palace.

Wei Yaozu, the official son of the Wei family, has no way to manage the family. He connives at his relatives to do harm to the village, removes his fame and official position, and demotes him to the rank of common people. The rest of the Wei family, those who should be killed should be killed, those who should be raped, those who should be beaten, and those who should be beaten.

At the same time, the Wei family cleverly seized the plundered property and returned it to the original owner; if it could not be returned, the Wei family's property would be doubled as compensation.

The original small courtyard of the Yong family has become a part of the Wei family garden. Shuntian Mansion then compensated the Wei family's two largest and most valuable shops to the Yong family.

On the day when the verdict was announced, Zhou's body had basically recovered, and a basket of firecrackers was set off at home, and a large banquet was held to celebrate.

The next day, she took Yong Qiao and Yong Miao out of the city to visit the tombs of Father Yong and the ancestors of the Yong family to comfort the dead: the lintel of the Yong family has finally recovered its innocence! Children and grandchildren no longer have to bow their heads to be human!

When the case of the Wei family was settled, Feng Liao found a time to take Yong Qiao and Yong Miao to Mr. An's private school.

The official disciples of Mr. An Mingfei are basically scholars and famous scholars. But with such a famous teacher around, members of the An clan, relatives and friends naturally wanted to send their children to him to teach, so Yong Qiao and Yong Miao still had several classmates of the same age.

In order to get rid of the chaff and save the chaff—in fact, mainly for peace of mind, Mr. An's private school has very strict rules. Those who are mischievous, expelled; those with bad conduct, expelled; those with poor qualifications, expelled; those with lazy temperament, expelled...

Under such strict rules, those who can stay are good children who are diligent, inquisitive, united and friendly—at least on the surface.

After Yong Qiao and Yong Miao went there tremblingly, they did not encounter school violence.

There is no time to do homework, write, and memorize. Who has the time to bully them? Besides, how can Meng Tong, who can enter this An's private school, have no background? Can you bully casually

Thus, the two children of the Yong family settled down and began to study.

They have suffered countless hardships, suffered endless grievances, and tasted despair. Now that they have such good learning conditions, they naturally cherish them even more. If it wasn't for Mrs. Zhou telling them not to be too hasty, they would all be studying without sleep or food!

Master's teaching, I don't want to miss every word. The homework assigned by Mr. is never discounted, and he always tries his best to complete it to the best. Even though Mr. An has always been very strict with students, he is satisfied with their seriousness and rigor.

Coupled with the fact that they are already smart, with good memory and comprehension skills, Mr. An gradually began to really like them a little bit.

Of course, they still have a long way to go if they want to truly become teachers and become famous in the examination field.
