Chapter 2196 Gui Zi Scroll One stone stirs up thousands of waves, it’s different
Yingchun was finally born.
Finally, the Duan family was overjoyed and gave birth to a son, and he was very important.
Everyone was smiling and in a happy mood, but it was hard to say whether there were other complex emotions involved.
Shen Yixiu, Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu took turns to go in and take a look. Looking at Yingchun who looked pale and tired but extremely excited and joyful, the girls congratulated each other and silently gathered their energy.
She must work hard like she did in the Spring Festival and give birth to a son, so that her position as a lady can be stable in the Feng family.
Siqi was even more excited than she was after giving birth to her own son, her face was glowing red, and she was almost flying as she ran forward and backward.
This is indeed a big and proud event, and the shadow of the elder being sent into exile has been swept away.
Tan Chun, Xichun and Li Wan also went to congratulate him. After all, Yingchun was from the Jia family, and the birth of a son meant that Ermu, who used to be the least favored in the Jia family, was now second only to Shen in the Feng family. Yi Xiu, Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu are on the same level, even Xue Baoqin and Miaoyu are incomparable. Why don't you have a son by your side?
The news that the Feng family finally had a male heir quickly spread throughout the capital. People with good connections came to congratulate him. Even Qi Yongtai and Qiao Yingjia sent family members to send congratulatory gifts.
Logically speaking, a concubine is not worthy of such a concubine, but the situation of the Feng family is too special. They still have no heirs. It is rare to have hope of continuing their incest, so it is naturally different.
After the birth, the Feng family immediately sent people to deliver a message to Xuzhou and Shaanxi, so that both Feng Tang and Feng Ziying knew that the Feng family was having a baby.
"Second sister is so lucky." Daiyu returned to her room. Just as she had time to say something, she heard the voice of snow geese outside the door: "The third girl is here."
Daiyu quickly stood up and went out, "Hey, I just asked you to come here, and you said you wanted to go back. How did you realize it this time?"
"My elder sister-in-law is going to go shopping on the street, and the fourth girl is going to the Shen family's sister's place. I thought it would be better to come sit here with you for a while and chat." Tan Chun walked in, Shi Shu and Cui Mo followed behind.
"It turns out that you came to me because you had nowhere to go. It was in vain that I invited you here with good intentions, but you have to manipulate me." Daiyu raised her mouth and complained, but she had already held Tanchun's arm affectionately.
Zijuan and Shu Cuimo both laughed.
Now Tanchun is relatively close to Daiyu and Baochai in this house, but although he visits Baochai very frequently, he has never been able to let go of Daiyu. It turns out that when Baoqin was here, he might have been It was more lively, but now that Bao Qin was gone, Ying Chun was inconvenienced, and Bao Chai was alone, so Bao Chai and Dai Yu often got together, and it became even more lively than before.
"How could I have figured it out? Before, I thought that the four girls would go back alone and be deserted. Who would have thought that she had already made an appointment with the Shen sister, and the elder sister-in-law also wanted to go out on the street, leaving me alone? I don’t want to go back, so I decided to come to your place to enjoy the autumn breeze. I just want to have a meal in the evening." Tan Chun said with a smile.
"That's good, you can have dinner at my place. You don't have to go back at night. You can sleep with me. Maybe we haven't been together for a long time." Daiyu was even more happy when she heard this, "Zicuckoo, go over there and invite me."
Please Sister Bao, it’s okay for her to be alone at home. Second Sister will definitely have a good sleep today, and she can’t help. It’s better to come over. The three of us haven’t talked together for a long time.
Just in time for a night chat together."
Tanchun was slightly surprised. She thought that Baochai and Daiyu might not be so close because they each married into the Feng family and each took charge of a house. But now it seems that this is not the case.
Daiyu and Baochai seemed to have become closer after Brother Feng left. Thinking that Xue Baoqin also left, Tan Chunruo realized something.
"That's perfect. I'm still thinking about whether Sister Bao will be unhappy if she eats and rests at your place instead of going to Sister Bao's. Now that she's here too, the three of us will really
You can talk happily now." Tan Chun sighed quietly, "Speaking of which, this kind of situation only happened when we were in Rongguo Mansion. Suddenly, things have changed, and you are all married...
"
Daiyu's heart moved slightly and she glanced at Tanchun.
He took the other person's hand, winked, and signaled Zijuan and Shishu Cuimo to go out. Zijuan immediately understood and called Shishu Cuimo and the others to go out, leaving only Daiyu and Tanchun in the room.
Tanchun seemed to realize that Daiyu was avoiding the maids and wanted to say something to him. His face suddenly turned red and he wanted to get up, but Daiyu pulled him to sit down.
"Tan girl, there are only you and me here today. You know my temperament well, and I can probably guess a little bit about your thoughts. How about we talk frankly and openly today?"
Daiyu smiled, looking at the shy Tanchundao, it was rare to see this girl with such an expression.
"I don't know what you are talking about." Tan Chunqiang said to himself, "What can I say? I am still a prisoner's family member. What can I think about? The only hope is that the master can come back safely and the court will not punish him.
Damn it, I was forced to go to Nanjing, there is no way I would take the initiative to rebel."
Daiyu pursed her lips and looked at Tanchun, half-smiling but not smiling, "Why are you still refusing to reveal your true feelings in front of me?"
Tanchun's face turned redder and redder, he bit his lip and shook his head without saying a word.
"Okay, you and I, sisters, have known each other for so many years. Don't you know my temperament, or am I unclear about yours?" Daiyu sighed, "In terms of age, you are not young anymore, just a little younger than me.
Son, who knows how long the Jia family's case will drag on? It is said that the imperial army will pacify Jiangnan by the middle of next year at the latest, but it doesn't look certain, but even if Jiangnan is pacified, my uncle and their cases may not be there.
It was settled so easily, what should you do?"
Tan Chun said nothing. She turned eighteen after the Chinese New Year. She is considered an older youth in this era. This is secondary. The key is that there are too many people involved in the Jiangnan rebellion case. This has to be tried one by one. Who knows how long it will take?
?
In addition, even if the trial can be concluded quickly, can the Jia family be acquitted?
Jia She has been exiled to Shaanxi, but it is said that the treason case is still pending, but the trial of his affair with foreign enemies in Ping'an Prefecture has been decided, and the treason case has not been concluded, so it may be aggravated in the future.
, this will have to wait until Jia Zheng, Jia Jing and other members of the Jia family come together for trial and judgment.
Tanchun finally spoke, but his face slowly returned to normal, but it was a little more sad: "I understand my sister's good intentions, but what can I do now? As long as the master and their cases are not settled in one day, we will
This family has always been a suspect in the pending case. Under this situation, even Brother Feng can't change anything. Moreover, even if the court really solves the Jiangnan issue and has to pronounce a verdict on the conspiracy case, it will take time, and
If it is really decided that we all have to be exiled like Yun Yatou and the old master, then what should we do?"
Tanchun's words stopped Daiyu and asked, yes, if Dali Temple really decrees that she will be exiled, what should she do? Should Brother Feng be allowed to take a convict as a concubine?
This is impossible, it is against the laws of the imperial court, and may lead to deprivation of official title.
Another possibility is to be sold into the Jiaofang Division.
This result is actually not too unacceptable, because compared to being exiled to a remote and cold place, at least your life can be saved in Jiaofangsi. If you meet a benefactor who likes you, he will spend a lot of money.
If the price is enough to redeem you as a concubine, that would be the best outcome.
Shi Xiangyun was exiled to Shaanxi Province. Daiyu and the others knew that Feng Ziying would have to be taken care of to some extent if he was in Shaanxi. However, Daiyu and the others had no idea what would become of them. Apart from writing a letter to Feng Ziying, they had nothing else to do.
Method.
But they had also heard that the consequences of exile were not very good. Many family members of prisoners went to the border areas and died in foreign lands within three to five years.
How many women who are usually pampered and pampered, but suddenly the environment changes, and they have to suffer and suffer, how many weak women can bear it? Therefore, death by suicide from illness, exhaustion, etc. is the most common result.
Therefore, being assigned to the teaching department is not actually the worst outcome for many people. Miaoyu's mother was in the same situation. She was attracted by Lin Ruhai, and then she had Miaoyu. It's just that Miaoyu's mother's personality
Weirdly, after giving birth to Miaoyu, she still refused to join the Lin family as a concubine, preferring to become a layman in a temple.
But if she is sent to the Jiaofang Department, that woman's reputation will be ruined for the rest of her life. Even if she encounters an amnesty, she will be ruined.
It can be seen that women who have been in the Jiaofangsi, except for merchants, may not be so particular about it. They feel that it is quite proud to take a woman from an official family as a concubine. For a wealthy family, it is unacceptable.
This is also why Lin Ruhai redeemed Miaoyu's mother's life, but still did not take Miaoyu's mother as a concubine. She was worried about this reputation. This is also why Miaoyu's mother hated Lin Ruhai at first and later refused to enter the Lin family.
In other words, there may be two fates before Tanchun and Xichun. One is to be exiled, then they are convicts. Feng Ziying cannot take them as concubines unless she gets a general amnesty.
One is to enter the Jiaofangsi, which is not considered a convict. To enter the Jiaofangsi is equivalent to being a slave. Anyone who needs to pay money to redeem her will belong to the one who paid the money, whether it is a concubine or a concubine.
It doesn't matter whether you are a maid or a maid, it's all up to you.
And even if she is taken as a concubine, it is the most despicable concubine and belongs to the humble concubine category.
It can be said that neither of these two roads is a good road.
The former needs to wait, even if it means waiting for a general amnesty. This status as a convict woman is considered unlucky in the eyes of many people. It is taboo for many people. It is almost impossible to have a good marriage. Being a concubine is the best result.
As soon as the latter enters the Jiaofang Division, his reputation and status are fixed and he can never raise his head. Just like an actor like Lingguan or Baoguan, there is no room for improvement once he enters the theater.
