4.89 Saint Lady
After a while, the inner courtyard of the Zhen family, Fengshengyuan - this is when Emperor Longwu stayed at the Zhen family for the first time on his southern tour, he personally bestowed the title of "Mrs. Fengsheng" on the wife of the Zhen family, and after personally inscribing a plaque, arranged for the then crown prince , the later Prince Yi Zhong led others to hang it up.

"My grandson has met his ancestors and his father!" Zhen Jue, who had looked like a young master from aristocratic family just now, immediately lost his temper after entering the main hall. He first knelt down to salute Madam Feng Sheng who was sitting in the middle, and then to his father. After saying hello, he finally glanced sideways at Zhen Lang, the second son of the Zhen family, who was kneeling in the corner. After Zhen Yingjia nodded, he stood up and stood to one side.

"Boss, do you have any questions?" Zhen Yingjia asked, twirling her goatee.

"Father, I don't understand, do you need such courtesy for a mere thousand households?" Zhen Jue, who had a "you and me brother" expression just now, lost all kindness at this moment, "Even if he can be valued by His Highness Yongchang , is it possible that he can surpass the descendants of those twelve families? Giving him enough face is just a career as a general soldier, so why bother?"

"You, I still don't see you enough." Zhen Jue didn't expect that he could get Mrs. Feng Sheng to answer after just complaining a few times. He was so frightened that he quickly knelt down to apologize, "Okay, don't think too much about it today. Most of the face is not given to him, but you will definitely still doubt it, because even if a serious master comes to Rongguo Mansion, the most he can do is like this."

"My grandson doesn't dare!" Zhen Jue quickly stood up at Madam Feng Sheng's signal, but still did not give in.

"It's not like you've never seen that girl from Yongchang. When have you ever seen her praise someone? You've also read that letter. What did you praise her for?" Madam Feng Sheng smiled kindly and pointed to the position where Zhen Yingjia's head was lowered to signal Zhen Yingjia. Jue sat down and said, "If that's all, then he's just a 'young talent'. This old lady has lived this long in vain, what kind of talent has she not seen?"

However, there is another thing mentioned in the letter. You guys probably didn't pay attention to it. The Dongfang girl from the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion under Yongchang was promised to go out by her. She would rather not have the title to follow; the marriage of a mere guard commander. , it is indeed not worth anything, but don’t forget, Dongfang girl has been serving Yongchang since she was a child, and she is the only one around her! "

"Ancestor is saying that Your Highness Yongchang..." As soon as these words came out, even Zhen Yingjia couldn't sit still. Zhen Jue simply stood up suddenly and asked, "What's going on?"

"Master's affairs are not something that we slaves can interfere with." Mrs. Fengsheng waved her hand, causing Zhen Yingjia and his son's expressions to change suddenly, "This royal matter has always been like this. The so-called 'rules' of a group of rotten scholars and poor people, is it possible that the royal family should be forced to do so?" Also comply? What's more, the boy named Huang is indeed not someone to be praised, and he has failed His Majesty in vain.

If it was just like this, it was just to give him some dignity, and he didn't really do anything to him. But he was in Huguang, and he had dealt with several local gangsters in just a few months. This ability deserves respect. Today If we don't care about it, how could he take it seriously? "

"You two, remember, having a background may not necessarily mean anything, and being capable doesn't matter. But if you have someone to support you and you are capable, such people should be given some dignity no matter what." Zhen Yingjia looked back at Zhen Jue , Brother Zhen Lang, said with a serious expression, "Especially you, Lang'er, you have indeed suffered a lot of grievances for your family on weekdays, but you must also make a clear distinction between what you can do and what you must never touch.

Wang Ziteng is still capable, but it's no more than that. If he were put in Zhou Yang's position, he wouldn't be able to do this if he had enough face. Being able to do it within a three-year term is considered a great achievement, but it still requires the help of the Rongguo Mansion.

What's more, the messy things inside the Wang family have already spread all over Jinling. You did a good job of using that trash to explore the way, but you shouldn't have left a clue for our own slaves to take action. That boy came in today and it was clear.' "Please excuse me", but it leaves us without a lot of means. "

"Dad, I just led people to quell a few unruly people, how capable can I be? If I had replaced the children, I could have left none of them behind!" Zhen Lang, who was obviously "punishing him by kneeling down", was very unconvinced, "Besides, It’s not that I want to give my slaves to Wang Ren, it’s that the Wang family is basically empty-handed in Jinling, how can they find more than 20 strong men who dare to fight?"

"Bringing your own elite troops over there and tying down a mere local tycoon is nothing of the sort." Zhen Yingjia glanced sideways, so frightened that Zhen Lang quickly lowered his head, "But if you arrive almost alone, how can you practice in just a few months? There are not many elite soldiers in the world who can kill thousands of unruly people with less than half of their troops.

The Second Master Lian of Rongguo Mansion is now the county magistrate of Yancheng. Haven't you all heard about his reputation?Fortunately, he knows how to advance and retreat. If he can't do it himself, he will raise a few capable slaves. This kind of approach is quite reasonable in a family like ours. Does Lang'er understand the meaning of being a father? "

"My child understands!" Zhen Lang said "I understand", but what was written on his face was "unconvinced".

"Rongguo Mansion, hey!" The father and son were talking, but they heard the sainted lady sigh softly, "Back then, Duke Ning and Rong stood side by side and were recognized as the first in martial arts in the world. How majestic it was, but it was only ten thousand. How did it take a few years to reach this land now? That girl from Yongchang has been dealing with the Jia family since she was a child, but now she is too lazy to visit again.

The same goes for my old sister. Let alone the whole family, why did their own affairs get all over the city?When Enhou was young, the old women had seen them all, how could it be so unbearable?It's good now, the whole family has no distinction between the elders and the younger ones, and it's fine to be talked about when it spreads out, but it's mirrored by the present His Majesty, don't forget, he is also not the eldest son of the Supreme Emperor! "

"Mother, it's Xi'er." Zhen Yingjia's face changed suddenly. "At first, Luo'er ignored him and went with the prince, letting the old woman with white hair give away the black-haired one, leaving Xi'er alone." Mrs. Feng Sheng sighed softly and raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, " He was also ambitious and didn't want to drag it out like this, but he shouldn't use the Rongguo Mansion as a quarrel, which would ruin the past friendship.

Fortunately, he still has a few filial men under him who have not forgotten the prince's grace. But how many years have passed?No amount of favor can withstand time. How many people are still willing to help now?Although the old woman didn't care about him for some time, she also knew that his current livelihood was getting worse day by day. "

"The ancestors want this kid..." Zhen Yingjia's face turned serious, and she turned to glare at her two sons sternly. Zhen Jue and Zhen Lang quickly lowered their heads and left the yard quietly.

"The Zhen family is the servants of the royal family. No matter what the master has done, the slaves should not care about it." Mrs. Feng Sheng said lightly, "But those of us who are slaves must not forget the grace of the master. Xi'er must be We can’t help you much, but if there is anyone who wants to repay the favor we serve, we shouldn’t say too much.”

"This" Zhen Yingjia's expression changed and she said in embarrassment, "Zhang Bo, the prefect of Wuchang, came from a humble background. When he came to Beijing alone to take the exam, he accidentally contracted the cold and almost lost his life. It was all because of the prince's kindness that he helped him complete the imperial exam and passed the exam. The second-ranked Jinshi are among the few civil servants still alive."

"Not many people know about this matter anymore, so it's normal for them to forget it." Madam Feng Sheng said lightly, "The Supreme Emperor is busy with everything, and he is always in a bad state. How can he take care of so many things? Don't let him worry about trivial matters. The old man took the trouble to take care of the descendants of your poor sister.

Also, the girl who entered the Ningguo Mansion, even though she was not Luo'er's biological child, still wanted to call Xi'er 'brother'. Why did I hear that her life in the mansion was very unsatisfactory, and she had to bring her own bodyguards to avoid it? Being bullied?The old woman has a relationship with the Jia family, but that doesn't mean she is blind and can't see. "

"Mom, I'm sorry, but I have nothing to do with crossing the river." Zhen Yingjia said with a wry smile, "But even so, I can guess that Xi'er must be interested in the friendship between Ningguo Mansion and the Yun family in Ping'an Prefecture. If not, If there is an accident, I am afraid that I have already caught up with him now, but with the power in His Majesty's hands, it is difficult to hide so many actions."

"The Gyeonggi area has always been the plate of that girl from Yongchang, and she is used to being close to the prince, so she doesn't think she talks much." Mrs. Fengsheng sighed softly, with a nostalgic look on her face, "It's such a pity. If the prince had Knowing her ability, if he had helped her up as early as possible, there would be no way for others to plot against her and ruin the relationship between father and son.

I asked you to give the boy surnamed Zhou some dignity, and also to take care of Yongchang. Don't forget that if you have more people, you will have to spend money to raise them. How can she have so much income?But in the past six months, it has gradually gained its current momentum. Even after crossing the Yangtze River, she has her hands on it. This is no small feat!
In addition, these days, the second bedroom of the Xue family has also brought benefits to the family. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be this boy who helped set up a line with Yongchang. I know what you are thinking. The Supreme Emperor has indeed grown up, but don’t forget No matter what, Xi'er is half of the Zhen family. We know this, and Your Majesty also knows it! "

"Mother, I understand what you mean, but in today's situation, where is Xi'er's chance?" Zhen Yingjia suddenly became anxious, "No matter whether we reach out directly or not, he can't do anything. It's better."

"You only saw Xi'er's difficulties, but you forgot how much trouble His Majesty still has?" Madam Feng Sheng stood up slowly, and Zhen Yingjia hurried up and helped her walk in the courtyard, "The Emperor is still here after all, so we have to say less. For ten or eight years, Xi'er has indeed been in a difficult situation, and it doesn't matter if you don't want to help.

However, you only focused on accommodating His Majesty, but never thought of going further. You need to know that His Majesty is not very prosperous now and has only two young mistresses at his knees. Don't you know the attitude of that girl Yongchang?Furthermore, the other one is not ours anyway, so why not make up your mind early so that even if His Majesty is dissatisfied in the future, he can directly deal with his son's slaves? "

"I understand, kid!" Zhen Yingjia looked happy, and then asked doubtfully, "But where is Xi'er?"

"Your Majesty is in his prime, and he is dedicated to progress." Mrs. Feng Sheng's expression became much calmer. "It's natural to have random thoughts in your free time. It is indeed rare for Xi'er to have a chance, but after all, he is the first son of the royal family and the grandson of the emperor. , he will have no problems; if there is a need in the future, don't forget to take care of him, it can be regarded as doing your best for Luo Er."

"Don't worry, mother!" Zhen Yingjia nodded quickly, "That boy from the Zhou family?"

"He doesn't care for a while, just help Yongchang take care of him." Mrs. Feng Sheng said in a cold tone.

Zhen Luo, the younger sister of Zhen Yingjia, the royal concubine of Prince Yi Zhong, and the biological mother of Prince Yi Zhong, died in love when Prince Yi Zhong died in the 32nd year of Longwu.
