Chapter 224: The Old Lady of the Zhen Family in the Red Chamber (1)
Since hundreds of years ago, after the northern families flew south, the southern convenience has gradually developed. In addition, the chaos in the world starts with the north, and the south is relatively stable. Therefore, in the past century, it has developed far beyond the north. Just the south of the Yangtze River accounts for 30% of the world's tax and grain production, which is extremely prosperous.
The Zhen family in Jiangnan is one of the best.
Almost a local emperor.
Even the four major families in Zhili, Jinling, Jiangnan Province cannot be compared with the Zhen family in Jiangnan.
Because the four major families can only be called the four major families of Jinling, but the Zhen family is named Jiangnan, and Jinling is only part of Jiangnan.
As for why the Zhen family is so rich?
That has to be said to the old lady of the Zhen family.
The old lady of Zhen family entered the palace at a young age. At the age of 18, she became Emperor Shizong's wet nurse and accompanied Emperor Shizong. She was highly respected by Emperor Shizong. Before and after the new emperor ascended the throne, the old lady of Zhen family was also served as the head of the nanny. It was not until the eighteenth year of the throne that the old lady of Zhen family resigned and returned home.
The emperor is quite grateful to Mrs. Zhen for his nanny's kindness. He specially named the old lady of Zhen as the wife of the sage. He also selected a granddaughter of Mrs. Zhen into the palace and named the Shufei, the head of the four concubines.
At this point, the Zhen family is very glorious.
Go to the sky in one step.
Since then, he has taken over Jiangnan four times, and the power is like adding fuel to the fire, and it is very busy.
No one in Jiangnan dares to show his face.
Even if the prince came to Jiangnan in person, he had to come to pay tribute to the Holy Madam to show his respect.
...
Zhen’s ancestral home, Fengshen Lady’s Mansion
In the main room, Qiao Mu stroked his forehead with some headaches. This time his original wish was really troublesome.
Although it seems simple, I just hope that the Zhen family will not be confiscated and exterminated, but this is also very difficult.
The Zhen family is now praised too highly and has done all kinds of illegal and disorderly affairs. The emperor is still alive. No matter how he is looking for his beloved concubine and the sixth prince, or the face of his original wife, he will not attack the Zhen family.
But once the current emperor goes up.
The successor to the throne was not the sixth prince who had blood ties to the Zhen family, so it would be difficult for the Zhen family to escape.
Because no matter the status of the Zhen family in Jiangnan, the Zhen family owes millions of taels of silver in the national treasury, or the Zhen family is bound to fight for the throne, it all means that their family is in this very dangerous vortex and it is difficult for them to break free.
"It seems that there are only two ways to break the deadlock.
Either let the emperor live for decades or find a way to make the sixth prince ascend the throne and become emperor.
There is no need to be too anxious. You should have twenty years of life now. Take your time. Let’s look back at the character of your great-grandson prince, your character and talent, what kind of person he learned.
If it's too bad, forget it."
After Qiao Mu straightened out the current situation, he quickly figured out two simplest and most direct ways to break the situation. However, she couldn't decide which one to choose. She had to see if her great-grandson of the sixth prince was suitable for being an emperor?
It is one thing to save the Zhen family, but we cannot push the people of the world into the sea of fire in order to save the Zhen family.
If this is true, then the merits and luck that Qiaomu obtained from Old Lady Zhen is not enough to offset the karma that harms the world. Qiaomu cannot do things arbitrarily when doing tasks in different worlds.
If she does good things that are beneficial to the world and the people, then the world consciousness will not deliberately stop them, and will even bring down a certain amount of merit and fortune. But if she makes trouble and causes chaos in the world and suffers from the world, even if she does not bring down the punishment of heaven, she will also bring down endless karma.
How terrible karma is self-evident.
The number of people can trigger the decline of the five heavens and man.
The kind that is destroyed by both souls and souls.
This thing is naturally unwilling to touch.
That is why she will work hard while completing her original tasks in every world, not just for merit and luck.
When Qiaomu was thinking about how to meet the Sixth Prince far away in the capital, the maid outside walked in:
"Old lady, the second master is here!"
"Sega, let him in."
The Zhen family has three bedrooms, the eldest son of the original body, who went there early. Although there are several grandchildren and great-grandchildren in the big house, they are not as good as they can only give up an official position.
The third son of the third wife is a playboy.
The fathers are like this, not to mention that the grandsons and great-grandchildren below are worse than the big house. At least they donate an official position. They are not willing to donate to donate the official position, so they stay at home to enjoy the treatment of the public servants at home. They take money directly from the public servants and rely on their parents. They are almost a domineering Jiangnan.
Only the second son of the second wife is barely capable. Now he is a Jiangnan weaving factory, and he is a fifth-rank position. Although the position seems to be not high, it is an imperial envoy appointed by the emperor. Many officials privately call this position the President of the Jinling Provincial Tyrant Court.
Where is Tirenyuan?
This is the place where the imperial examinations were held, and the cabinet ministers and emperors sometimes worked here. In this way, the officials' private nicknames of Jiangnan weaving were naturally meaningful.
Obviously, this is a special position that is extremely valued by the emperor, even considered to be the emperor's eyes and ears, and can also reach the Tianting directly.
That's why even the governor and governor of Jiangnan were unwilling to offend him.
Not long after Qiao Mu said that Zhen Sega would come in, Zhen Sega brought several boxes with her servants. As soon as she came in, she smiled and bowed to Qiao Mu:
"Mom, the emperor knows that this is your 81st birthday, and you also know that you don't want to have a big fuss.
So I specially sent someone to send some birthday gifts.
Look, do you want to take a look?"
When he said this, Zhen Sega looked glorious. After all, even if other super-class wifes had their 80th birthday, the emperor might not give them something, but his mother, who was 81 years old and her birthday was not the full birthday, and the emperor even gave her birthday gifts on time.
It can be seen that his mother's position in the emperor's heart.
It also shows that their home is stable.
"Let's put it aside first, and don't forget to submit a memorial to thank you even if you look back. By the way, are your kids coming back today? Don't tell me that they won't come back for my birthday today. Also, the third family should come here too. There are so many people here, and I happen to have something to tell you."
Qiao Mu happened to want to sort out his family affairs, but now it is the 81st birthday of his original body. It is a rare day to be reunited, so naturally he can't let it go, so he has to quickly tell what he wants to say.
Otherwise, if you want people to gather so together next time, you will probably have to wait for the New Year.
"Mom, of course I won't forget to thank you.
As for those young men in my family, they will definitely come here. I had already notified them half a month ago. There should be no problem with the third family, after all, they are still polite.
By the way, mom, what's there to say?"
Zhen Sega first answered Qiaomu's inquiry, and then asked Qiaomu what he wanted to say.
