Chapter 204 Signature
Yuanchun is eager to return to her parents' home.
The 'knife' hanging over the parents' heads finally fell.
Fortunately, cousin Lanzhi was able to keep her parents alive for the sake of her deceased grandfather.
Others...
Yuanchun didn't dare to think about anything else.
She didn't have the right to think about anything else.
The cousin is half a month younger than her.
If it were her..., she might have been gone in this world for a long time.
But Lan Zhi relied on himself to get to where he is today step by step.
She killed Tatars on the battlefield and avenged her uncle and two cousins. At the same time, she also made great contributions to Dazhao like her great-grandfather and grandfather. How rare this is!
When Yuanchun was sorting out secret records in the palace that were difficult for outsiders to see, he knew how difficult it was for a woman to secure her credit among a group of men.
The achievements of women that can be recorded in history books during their lifetime are far greater than everyone imagines.
But they were all weakened.
In other words, a large part of their achievements will be transferred to men with backing.
The reputation they left behind among the people will gradually fade into smoke and dust as time goes by, turning into untestable legends.
There are even unscrupulous literati who use articles to vilify their names and distort everything they have ever done. In the end, their good reputation turns into infamy.
Yuanchun is helpless about this, but he also cherishes his blood-related cousin Lanzhi even more.
If the cousin hadn't come back in time, the aunt and brother Zhen would have been like the uncle and never been seen again.
Yuanchun felt grateful to her for saving his life.
She couldn't imagine the consequences of losing her aunt in her family.
She was afraid that her parents' family would go back to the past.
It's not impossible.
The grandmother was in poor health and doted on her children and grandchildren.
The uncle has no one to restrain him, so he may let himself go immediately.
Even if there were clan rules... probably no one would dare to take care of him.
Not to mention the father.
He cried more and more in front of his grandmother, and as time went by...
Yuanchun could not forget what her elder brother said to her that day. He said that when the eldest uncle was pregnant with her little cousin, everyone said that she would not survive the birth. At that time, her mother started to have thoughts about Dongfu.
As the saying goes, if there are no internal ghosts, there will be no outside thieves.
The other party could clearly tell the time when the uncle and the others returned to the city that day, as well as the manpower arrangement...
The eldest brother was afraid and told her.
But Yuanchun is also afraid.
Brother Rong is still young. If something happens to the eldest uncle and Brother Zhen, it seems that the grandmother favors the father. In addition, the uncle wants to get rid of his father. It is really possible for them to succeed. After all, the eldest sister-in-law has no children. At most, she will give her a child in the future. Just keep it in the yard.
This is still the best outcome. If it is not good, the elder sister-in-law will die as soon as she is ill, and Brother Rong will not grow up. This is all possible.
Yuanchun has been in the palace for several years, and he has seen a lot of silent killings.
Now Lanzhi is willing to leave his parents alive for the sake of his grandfather, and let them rely on themselves from now on...
Yuanchun thinks it's pretty good.
Everyone is responsible for what they have done.
Although it is difficult to rely on yourself, at least you are alive.
When Yuanchun walked into Shen Ning's yard, Baoyu, Daiyu and others had been there for a while.
A group of little kids never thought that they would be allowed to participate in this matter.
According to Jiazheng and Wang, that is not what they want at all.
However, these children are also their relatives.
Especially Baoyu and Huan'er, I can't survive anymore, so my son secretly supports them a little, how normal is it!
But now...
Both Jia Zheng and Wang knew that they would have no choice in the future.
The children were chirping and saying that for their lives, everyone had to sign a mutual supervision responsibility.
Whoever dares to secretly fund her in the future will have all their future marriage money as compensation to Cousin Lan. Regardless of whether they are men or women, they will also be beaten forty times.
As for the possible funding from the Wang family... although the family has no control over it, since the second master and second wife chose the second option, they should abide by it.
If Lan Zhi cannot come back for a while, as long as she dares to accept it, the clan will take action on her behalf.
Yuanchun looked at the items listed by a group of younger brothers and sisters and was speechless.
Lanzhi was very happy.
She had never known these little guys were so cute.
Especially my cousin Min Mei, named Mei Jieer.
No wonder he forced his uncle to beat up all the men in the Min family.
This means that the third aunt is fine.
If something happens to Third Aunt, she will probably kill all the men in the Min family.
Lan Zhi also likes Xiao Daiyu very much. This child has a quick mind. She summarizes everyone's opinions and writes a mutual supervision responsibility letter.
This mutual supervision responsibility letter must be signed by everyone.
Lanzhi watched his younger brothers and sisters writing furiously and copying them into copies.
They have to have this thing in everyone's hands.
Lanzhi decided to get another one for her parents and brothers, and then put it under their memorial tablets.
The life of ordinary people is not so easy.
Many people died of poverty and disease.
Lanzhi didn't believe that these two people, who had been served by a group of maids and women since childhood, could live as long as ordinary people.
Killing them all at once would be too cheap for them.
She just wants them to experience the gap from the Jia family's paradise days to the dust.
Let them slowly despair in poverty and disease.
You can eat enough if you stretch your hand, but your head will fall off if you stretch your hand.
She cared about filial piety, cared about the world's human relationships, she gave them a chance, she let them live, but in the end they had to go to the road of death, so who is to blame?
No one can blame her.
If you don't want to die, if you live a mediocre life and endure poverty... then just endure it. For the second master and second wife who are used to a good life, this may be a different kind of hell on earth.
Because if you don’t put in a grain of rice or a piece of firewood, it won’t come to your home if you don’t work hard.
Lan Zhi expects them to live in hell.
A letter of mutual supervision responsibility was written out, and everyone present signed it.
Jia Zheng and Wang signed their signatures very quickly, not only because they were unwilling to show off in front of their descendants, but also because of the cold weather.
No matter how warm the room was, it couldn't stop them from wearing less clothes and carrying thorn sticks on their backs.
After signing, when they came back to make a mark, others used ink pads, but Lan Zhi used a knife to sweep their ink pads away.
This, this...
Everyone present knew what she meant.
Wang and Jia Zheng didn't dare to say anything. They each pricked their fingers with the thorns on the wattle sticks and pressed the bloody fingerprints.
Although Shen Ning's written name was a bit weak due to illness, this feeling was so wonderful.
In The Book of Red Mansions, apart from Jia Mu, the couple who can most influence everyone's destiny will have to rely on God and their own hands for food from now on.
Oops~
Shen Ning first admired their bloody fingerprints, and then pressed his fingerprints on each of his own names.
She decided to keep this piece of paper and take it to her grave when she died.
"Auntie, if you are tired, please go back to your room and rest first."
Xiao Daiyu saw the sweat on her head and couldn't help coming over to care.
"..."
Shen Ning resisted the urge to touch her little face.
The little girl's health looks better than the one in the Red Mansion, but she is not making a big mistake. She is sick, in case she is infected.
"One thing to help my aunt," she said in a hoarse voice, speaking out each word in a small voice, "Sign Yue'er's name and ask her to click it all again."
ah?
No need!
Only little Yue'er can crawl. But seeing her aunt's serious look, Xiao Daiyu blinked and said, "Oh, I'll write it right now."
"And me, and me!"
A group of little guys all came over.
Soon, they were assigned the work themselves.
Because Shen Ning told Daiyu that she could write five copies for Jia Yue, and everyone else should rely on their abilities to see who can write faster!
Anyway, including the four extra copies Lan Zhi needed, Shen Ning signed thirty copies with her own name.
Twenty-nine of them were given to them personally, and one of them was included in the Jia family tree to serve as a warning to future generations.
Little Yue'er, who had not yet fallen asleep, was brought over and was about to howl. Suddenly she saw so many people, especially the sisters who used to play with her, and she giggled happily.
Her little paws were pressed with ink pads by her sisters, who pressed their fingerprints one by one.
The little girl couldn't be more happy.
Since she made this move, of course Jia Cong and Jia Huan were also brought over.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
But compared to the happy little Yue'er, they are much less courageous.
Although she was still young and ignorant, her aunt and maids were all honest and obedient when she came, and the person kneeling in the hall looked very familiar.
It’s good that the two of them weren’t scared to tears.
Shen Ning was very happy that she could sign three more times, while Jia Zheng and Wang had to make three bloody fingerprints.
Finally, this session was over and it was their turn for the twenty-big board.
In order to prevent the children from being frightened, Daiyu and the other children were kicked away again.
But Min Mei came back secretly, and she was so happy when she heard the sound of the board hitting the flesh in the side room.
Humph, her father dared to do that to their mother and son, wasn't it because the second uncle was in charge of her grandfather's family, and he didn't care about her mother's life or death at all.
It's okay now!
Min Mei left with satisfaction. Aunt Zhou hugged Jia Zheng and Wang's clothes and felt very comfortable.
It's just that she can't let others see it.
But the second master and second wife left the house, and she...
Aunt Zhou lowered her head. When the old lady sighed and was about to get up and leave, she cried and knelt on the ground. "Old lady, cousin," she knelt down to Jia Mu, but her eyes were looking at Lanzhi, "Master and Mrs. What will happen to Aunt Zhao and I if we leave?”
Um?
Unlike Mother Jia, who almost forgot about her, Lan Zhi's eyes narrowed, "Were you also involved in that letter?"
"No, no, no..."
Aunt Zhou was shocked.
"Then it's over."
If Aunt Zhou is asked to follow, won't Jia Zheng and Wang have someone to serve them?
"Grandma!"
Lanzhi glanced at the clothes she was still holding when she was kneeling on the ground, turned to the old lady, and said, "What are you going to do with Aunt Zhou and Aunt Zhao?"
How to deal with it?
Jia Mu looked at the poor Aunt Zhou.
The Jia family is not short of food.
Asking her to serve Er'er would definitely not work if Lanzhi was like this.
That's all, Aunt Zhou not only gave birth to a child for the second son, but also took care of the second son very considerately when it was inconvenient.
"What it was like before, it will be like in the future." The old lady sighed, "Zhu'er, you are raising it for your father here at Aunt Zhou's place. Even at Aunt Zhao's place... before Huan'er grew up, you also Help your father raise it!”
"Yes!"
Jia Zhu agreed respectfully.
"Did you hear that?"
Lan Zhi looked at Aunt Zhou.
Aunt Zhou kowtowed happily, "Yes! Thank you, old lady, thank you, sir, thank you, cousin."
Finally, those two people were going to live a hard life.
Finally, Wang's son still wanted to support her in her old age.
As an aunt, she gets two taels of silver a month, a maid to serve her, and clothes for all seasons. As long as she does her job and doesn't cause trouble at all, with the tempers of the uncle and grandma, she will definitely be able to take care of her easily.
"This dress..."
Before Aunt Zhou was about to reply, Lanzhi said: "Grandma, since the second master and second wife want to go out and live on their own, then these clothes are not suitable, right?"
Which silk, satin or cotton can be worn by ordinary people?
Not to mention the fur coat.
If you pawn it from any pawn shop, it will be enough to eat and drink for several months.
"Then...Youshi..."
"Old lady, your orders!"
Youshi got up quickly.
"Are there any winter clothes made for the servants in the house?"
"Yes."
Youshi said hurriedly: "I'm going to get one set for each of my second uncle and second aunt."
"Lanzhi, do you think this is okay?"
It's definitely not going to work if you don't comfort this end.
Jia Mu has resigned herself to her fate.
"Yes!"
Lanzhi bent down and saluted, "Lanzhi is here to thank the old lady for my mother, father and two brothers."
Now I don’t call grandma anymore.
Jia Mu was also helpless, "As a family, what foreign language can we say?"
Er'er and Wang were unpopular.
When Baoyu saw them, they were all avoiding cat and mouse.
"Now that all the things you didn't like are gone, you finally returned to Beijing and stayed in Xifu for two days. Your mother's small courtyard is still there."
She extended an invitation to her.
No matter what, just because of the child's strength, she had to recognize her for the Duke.
"You go live in your mother's yard, play with your sisters, and just... go home for her."
"...Okay!"
When Lanzhi saw Jia Ju and Jia Min's expectant looks, somewhere in her heart she felt a little sour and a little soft, "Thank you so much, grandma, and please trouble my aunt and second sister-in-law."
"Hey family, what are you talking about?"
Mr. Xing immediately became happy.
She and the master are indeed in charge of Rongguo Mansion!
Lan Zhi thanked the wrong person.
"Girl Feng, go back and clean up for your sister."
"Hey~~~"
Wang Xifeng admires capable women.
It's a pity that her surname is Wang, and her uncle Wang Ziteng is her enemy.
The Jia family sent a lot of things to Ningxia. Although she was careful, she did not say a word to Lan Zhi in any of the letters.
She was afraid that her joining would make Lanzhi even more resistant to the Jia family.
Today...
Wang Xifeng felt that Lan Zhi didn't look at her any differently because she was from the Wang family.
This alone makes it worth cherishing for her.
"...Then I'll trouble my second cousin sister-in-law."
Lan Zhi nodded towards her.
The eldest aunt here is sick, and the eldest cousin Zhen is also injured. Several times when she comes over, she can see the second cousin helping the eldest cousin.
Moreover, I heard from the third aunt Jia Kui that the second cousin was very cheerful and took good care of her, her cousin, and her cousins.
The most important thing is that she has a good relationship with her second cousin. Because of her family's affairs, she has cut off all contact with her parents' family.
Based on this alone, Lan Zhi felt that she should be treated with more respect! !
Thanks to book friend Fufu i for the 10,000-coin reward. It won’t work today, so I’ll update it tomorrow! !
