Chapter 757
Yurong was sleeping soundly when she suddenly heard a deafening knock on the door. Yurong scolded angrily: "What kind of door are you knocking at in the middle of the night?" Yu's health was not good, and Yurong was always taking care of Jiang's household affairs.
The maid hurried in and said, "Second madam, it's not good, the old man is gone." The old man is the pillar of the family, and now the sky is falling without the Jiang family.
When Yurong heard this, she scolded angrily: "The old man was fine in the afternoon, why is it gone? I'll tear your mouth apart." The reason why Yurong was so angry was because Jiang Wenrui would be fine if they were gone. She really became an orphan and a widowed mother. This orphan and widow must not be bullied to death.
The maid knelt on the ground and cried and said, "Second madam, how dare the slaves and servants make up such things." The old lady is gone, the Jiang family has collapsed, and their future is also worrying.
Yurong was stunned, but she quickly reacted. Father-in-law was fine in the afternoon, but it was gone this evening. There was something strange about it, and she had to figure it out. After changing into filial piety, Yurong went to the front yard to find the big housekeeper. When she knew that her father-in-law was forced to death by Yan Wushuang, Yurong knew that the Jiang family was in danger.
After so many things, Yurong is much stronger than before. Since the Jiang family can't keep it, she has to make plans for her and her son's future life. Thinking of this, Yurong immediately sent her companion to find Han Jiancheng. In recent years, Yurong has frequent exchanges with Han Jiancheng. At this time, she only dared to trust Han Jiancheng.
Back in her yard, Yurong packed all her gold and silver jewelry. As for the dowry's house deed, Tian deed and bank notes, she took it with her.
Han Jiancheng was far away from Jiang's house, and when he arrived at Jiang's house, the chickens began to croak.
Yurong waited for Han Jiancheng at the side door, gave the three large packages that he carried with him to his entourage, and put the deed paper that was hidden close to him in Han Jiancheng's hands. Yurong held Han Jiancheng's hand and said, "Brother, this is all my belongings. In the future, I will live on this."
The person who went to invite Han Jiancheng only said that Mrs. Jiang had passed away, and nothing else. Seeing Yurong's appearance, Han Jiancheng hurriedly asked, "What happened?"
Yurong said: "My father-in-law committed a crime, and King Yan found out. He took poison and committed suicide last night. After I see the dawn, the Jiang family will be sealed up. Brother, take these things and leave quickly." Wushuang often ransacked their homes and sent them to prison for the officials who committed crimes. Yurong didn't think the Jiang family would be an exception.
Hearing this, Han Jiancheng hurriedly put the thick piece of deed paper close to his body, and then said anxiously, "I can take things away, but what about you and Brother Zheng?"
Han Yurong said, "If my brother and I are arrested and imprisoned, I will ask the eldest brother to ask the third sister to save us." Now that he is gone with Han Jiancheng, he may be implicated. Instead, it is better to wait and see. I'm really in jail, beg Yuchen, she and Brother Zheng shouldn't have their lives in danger.
Han Jiancheng also knew that it was a big deal, so he didn't stop, and immediately went home with his things. No matter what, it was impossible for Yan Wushuang to go to his house to search for things.
Jiang Kun is worthy of being Jiang Wenrui's most trusted person. Without Yu Rong's knowledge of Yu Rong and no management, he took care of Jiang Wenrui's funeral properly. When Yurong arrived in the front yard, the mourning hall was ready. Brother Zheng wore a filial robe and knelt beside the coffin to watch the burning of paper money.
Seeing Yurong, Brother Zheng burst into tears: "Mother, why did you come? Grandpa is gone, grandpa is gone." Jiang Hongfu's children are in Jiangnan, and Brother Zheng is the only grandchild in the capital. Jiang Wenrui naturally loves him very much, and he personally enlightens him. His grandparents and grandchildren have deep feelings for him.
Yurong said with tears in her eyes: "Mother knows, she knows. Brother Zheng, be good, send Grandpa the last ride." He was afraid that the old man would not be able to rest in peace.
Not long after dawn, officers and soldiers surrounded the entire Jiang family. The leader knew that Yurong was the aunt of Prince Yan's son, and said to Han Yurong, "Mrs. Jiang,
I have been ordered to do errands, please forgive me if I offended you. "
Han Yurong hugged her shivering son and said, "This is the mourning hall. I just hope you don't disturb the peace of the deceased." As for the rest, she couldn't stop it.
In addition to the white cloth couplets hanging in the mourning hall, there are only some incense candles and other things left, which are all worthless things. Moreover, these things used by the dead are not touched by them, which is bad luck. The man glanced and nodded and said, "Yes."
Seeing this, Jiang Kun glanced at Han Yurong gratefully. At this critical moment, he can still maintain the final dignity of the old man, and it is not a waste of time for the grandfather to maintain the Han family all these years.
Officers and soldiers are like bandits, scavenging for things everywhere. As long as it is valuable, they will not let it go. Yu Shi originally vomited blood and fainted when he heard the news of Mrs. Jiang's passing. Now, when he looked at the officers and soldiers like bandits, he was so frightened that he didn't mention it in one breath and followed.
Yu's coffin has been prepared long ago, and the officers and soldiers did not want it. The reason was the same as before, bad luck.
After turning over the entire Jiang family, all the valuables were packed and transported away. Afterwards, the leader looked for Yurong and said, "Give you three minutes, and within three minutes I will send someone to collect the house."
Han Yurong was overjoyed when she heard this, and said, "Please don't worry, sir, we will move out within three rì." She thought that the mother and son would be arrested and sent to jail, but now they don't need to go to jail, they just make up the house, but it's not a pleasant surprise.
The leader was very satisfied with Han Yurong's knowledge.
Han Yurong called Jiang Kun and said, "You heard what that person said just now. First, find a place to store the coffins of the old man and the old lady. We will make plans for the rest."
Jiang Kun said: "Ma'am, the old man had an explanation before his death that the old slave would send his coffin back to Jiangnan to be buried in the ancestral house. After three days, I will take the old man's coffin back to Jiangnan." Although the time was a little rushed, but As long as it's properly arranged, there's no problem.
Yurong asked, "What about the old lady?"
Jiang Kun gave Yurong a big gift and said: "The old lady's affairs, I will ask the lady to take care of it." Now the road is not peaceful, it is a little difficult for him to only send the old lady's coffin back to Jiangnan, so he can't take care of it. .
Yurong nodded and said, "I'll put the old lady's coffin in the nunnery first, and I'll help the spirit back to Jiangnan when I have a chance later." That said, who knows what will happen in the future. As for Yurong, she never planned to go to Jiangnan. In the capital, she had brothers and sisters to rely on, but when she went to the south of the Yangtze River, she didn't know anyone well. When an orphan, a widow, or a mother happened to be in trouble, it really made Tian Tian's life ineffective.
Back in the backyard, Yurong felt a little uncomfortable when she saw that her house was gone as if locusts had passed through the border. But thinking that the money handed over to Han Jiancheng is enough for her and Zheng Ge'er to have no worries about food and clothing, she felt a little comfort in her heart.
That night, many servants of the Jiang family ran away at night. Yurong knew that she didn't care in the future, and said, "Let them go!" She couldn't take care of herself, how could she manage those fugitive slaves.
When Mr. Gao got the news, he paid a high price to invite two female escorts to follow Yurong and Zheng Geer. He was afraid that someone would take advantage of the sex to be detrimental to Yurong's mother and son. There are guards who can ensure the safety of the girls. Facts have proved that Mr. Gao's worries are not superfluous. Someone really hit Yurong and Zheng Ge'er's idea. Fortunately, there was a female escort, and this matter passed without any danger.
On the second morning, Jiang Kun helped his spirit back to Jiangnan. Yurong took Zheng Ge'er Yu's coffin to the nunnery.
After Yu's coffin was settled, Yurong took Zheng Geer and followed Han Jiancheng back to his house.
Lu led the two to a small courtyard. Lu Shi said apologetically: "Five sisters, the place is a little small, don't dislike it."
At this time, Yurong could be picky and choked: "What did my sister-in-law say? I'm very grateful that you can give me and Brother Zheng a place to live." This is sincere. Orphans and widows are the easiest to be bullied. The Jiang family has been completely defeated. Before Zheng Geer grows up, she can only rely on Han Jiancheng.
Holding Yurong's hand, Mrs. Lu said, "Don't think about it, you still have a political brother. For him, you have to take care of yourself."
Yurong wiped her tears and said, "I know, thank you, sister-in-law."
Although this yard is small, it also has six rooms, plus a firewood room and a small kitchen, it can be said that it has all the internal organs.
The close maid Honghua turned around and whispered to Yurong: "Madam, the kitchen is very clean, do we want to open fire by ourselves in the future?" Yurong has learned so much after suffering so much. This maid was bought from Renya. She was not very old when she bought it, and she has been very loyal to her after training over the years, so she only brought these two maids with her when she returned to her parents' house this time.
Yurong said, "Well, we'll start our own fire in the future. If you want to eat, just let the shopping place buy it." Living in her family's home is because she wants the protection of her eldest brother, but not for the eldest brother to support their mother and son.
Hong Hua nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
In the evening, Han Jiancheng came over, took out the things Yurong gave him before and gave them back to Yurong, and said, "You are tired these days, take a good rest. I will live at home with A Zhengan in the future. ."
Yurong held a thick stack of deed papers, and said with some uneasiness: "Brother, do you think people from the government will come after them to ask for these things?"
Han Jiancheng said, "Didn't you say that these are all your dowry? People have let them go, and your dowry officials should not pursue it any more." Han Jiancheng's implication is that if there is any Jiang family property here , then it is impossible to say.
Yurong said hurriedly, "These are my dowries, and my name is on the contract." Over the years, Yurong's housekeeper has made a lot of money from the duke. Jiang Wenrui and Yu's both know it, but both of them are silent. One eye closed. Yurong began to exchange the money she got for shops and fields. Later, she felt that the situation was not right, so she stopped buying property and saved it all.
Han Jian said; "Then there is nothing to worry about. By the way, do you have a bank note in your hand?" Seeing Yurong nodding, Han Jiancheng said, "I don't know what the situation will be in the future, I think it is better to change it to cash. Better."
Yurong was a little surprised and asked, "Brother, is the war going to start again? If so, let's save more food!" During the war, the price of food rose sharply, and sometimes even money could not buy food. .
Han Jiancheng nodded and said, "I want to buy a small house nearby, and then dig a cellar to store food." The situation outside was not good, and Han Jiancheng also felt a sense of crisis.
Yurong asked, "Brother, do you have bad money?" Seeing Han Jiancheng nodding, Yurong gave Han Jiancheng all the 42,500 taels of money and said, "Brother, take these and use them. "
Han Jiancheng took the silver note and said, "I'm only two thousand taels short. I'll use this first, and I'll give it back to you when I have the money. I'll exchange the rest for you in cash."
Yurong said: "Big brother is too outrageous to say this. What else can I do? I'm doing this for myself and brother Zheng. By the way, brother, don't let my sister-in-law know about this!"
Han Jiancheng hesitated.
Yurong said, "Brother, don't blame me for speaking badly. My sister-in-law is good, but the Lu family is a bottomless pit. How much money my sister-in-law has subsidized in the past few years, I am afraid that there is not much dowry now, right?" There are sixteen people, and they are not involved in childbirth, relying entirely on his sister-in-law to subsidize. Moreover, these people are still picky, and this year's expenses are not a small amount.
Han Jiancheng was silent for a while and said, "It's not easy for your sister-in-law." The old lady of the Lu family always came to complain and cry about poverty. How could the Lu family be hard-hearted as a daughter.
Yurong snorted softly: "Big brother, I have nothing to say if my sister-in-law is willing to use the dowry to supplement her parents' family, but she can't take the Han family's money to use it for her parents' family. It's still peaceful now, but according to the elder brother's words, if * *Get up, do you still want to help them? If you don’t help them, and they know that we have hidden food, then there will be disaster.” After speaking, Yurong looked at Han Jiancheng and said, “Brother, I am not alarmist. Sister-in-law's mother and her sister-in-law are not a good thing. When rì comes out of prison, they can chase away the penniless second master of the Han family and his wife. Brother, the second master of the Lu family treated them well before the accident." An ungrateful person, Yurong disdains to associate with them.
Han Jiancheng thought for a moment and said, "I told your sister-in-law that I bought the house for you, so that she would not be suspicious." Han Jiancheng is not a holy father, and it is not good for his wife to take most of the dowry to supplement her parents' family. How can I feel comfortable! It's just that it's his wife's dowry silver, and he, a big man, can't say anything.
Yurong nodded and said, "That's fine, the Lu family knows and has nothing to say."
After seeing Han Jiancheng away, Yurong sat on the chair and sighed softly.
Hong Hua brought a glass of water and handed it to Yu Rong, and said, "Madame is worrying about the Lu family?" After more than a dozen people in the Lu family were in distress, if they didn't find a way to make a living, it was enough to rely on the married girl. .
Yurong shook her head and said, "The Lu family can't be involved in my head no matter what." She lives in her mother's house, and she doesn't want to be raised by her mother, so she's not afraid of the greedy people of the Lu family.
Hong Hua didn't understand, and asked, "What is the madam sighing?" The Jiang family was defeated, and Yurong didn't look too decadent. So now, it makes Honghua feel strange.
Yurong said, "I just think about my childhood. Think about the third and fourth sisters, and then look at myself." She is the one who has failed the most in life among the three sisters.
Hong Hua reassured: "Madam, I don't think the third aunt's nǎinǎi may be doing well. I'm not sure, she is not as good as you, madam!" There are quite a few Yingying and Yanyan in Yan Wang's mansion, and the third aunt's nǎinǎi Is famous no matter what, how can you live well!
Yurong smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not good at all. It's the fourth sister who has a good life. I think I used to provoke her from time to time. I'm afraid she didn't take my little actions in her eyes at all!" She calculated, with Yuxi's scheming means, afraid that she would not know if she was calculated.
Hong Hua didn't know how to persuade her: "Madam, it's too late, it's time to rest." Princess Pingxi, such a person is too far away from them.
Yurong murmured, "I was young at that time, I didn't know that sisters should stay and depend on each other." If you had a good relationship with Yuchen and Yuxi when you were young, you would not have to worry about the future. Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in this world.
ps: Everyone is changing, and Yurong is no exception. (To be continued)
