Chapter 2196 The Guizi Scroll stirs up thousands of waves with one stone, with different thoughts

 Yingchun was finally born.

Finally, Duan and his wife were overjoyed and gave birth to a son, who 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 women congratulated each other and silently gathered their energy.

You must strive for success just like welcoming the spring and give birth to a son, so that your position as a eldest lady can be stable in the Feng family.

Si Qi was even more excited than she was after giving birth to her own son. Her face was 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 old man being sent into exile has been swept away.

Tan Chun, Xichun and Li Wan also went to congratulate her. After all, Yingchun belonged to the Jia family, and the birth of a son meant that Ermu, who used to be the least favored in the Jia family, now had a status in the Feng family that was second only to Shen. Yi Xiu, Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu have reached such heights that even Xue Baoqin and Miaoyu cannot compare to each other. 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 for them to have hope of continuing their incestuous relationship, so it is naturally different.

After the birth, the Feng family immediately sent someone to deliver a message to Xuzhou and Shaanxi, so that both Feng Tang and Feng Ziying knew that the Feng family had an heir.

"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 over, 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 for a while and chat." Tan Chun walked in, serving the book and saying Cuimo 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 all my good intentions, but you have to manipulate me." Daiyu raised her mouth and complained, but she had already hugged Tanchun's arm affectionately.

 Zicjuan and Shishu 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 Baoqin was gone, Yingchun was inconvenienced, and Baochai was alone, so Baochai and Daiyu often got together, but it was even more lively than before.

"Have I ever thought about it? 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? Now, I don’t want to go back, so I decided to come here to enjoy the autumn breeze, so I can 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. It's just a good time to talk in bed together at night."

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, Tanchun 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." Tan Chun sighed, "Speaking of which, this kind of situation only happened when we were in Rongguo Mansion. Then things changed and people changed, and you all got married..."

Daiyu's heart moved slightly, she glanced at Tanchun, 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. Only Daiyu and Tanchun were left.

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 don't you 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 New Year. She was considered an older youth in this era. This was secondary. The key was that there were too many people involved in the Jiangnan rebellion case. This would have to be tried one by one. Who knows how long it would take? ?

Furthermore, even if the case can be brought to trial quickly, will the Jia family be able to escape guilt?

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 had slowly returned to normal, but it was a little more sad: "I understand 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 pending criminal. 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 treason case, it will take time, and If it is really sentenced that we all have to be exiled like Yun Yatou and the old master, then what should we do?"

Tanchun’s words stopped Daiyu, yes, what if Dali Temple really sentenced her to exile? 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 result in the 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. Daiyu and the others knew that Feng Ziying would be taken care of in some way because of Feng Ziying's presence 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.

—Therefore, death by suicide due to illness and exhaustion is the most common result.

Therefore, being sent to the Jiaofangsi is actually not the worst ending for many people. Miaoyu's mother was in such a 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 the temple.

But if a woman is sent to the Jiaofangsi, her reputation will be ruined for the rest of her life. Even if she can be released in the event of an amnesty, a woman who has been in the Jiaofangsi, except for merchants, may not be so particular about accepting a woman from an official family. I am quite proud of this, but for a wealthy family, this is unacceptable.

This is also why Lin Ruhai redeemed Miaoyu's mother's body, 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 join 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 he gets a general amnesty.

One is to enter the Jiaofangsi, which is not considered as a convict. Entering the Jiaofangsi is equivalent to being a slave. Anyone who pays money to redeem her will be 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.

Moreover, even if she is taken as a concubine, it is the most humble concubine and is considered a lowly concubine.

 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, and is taboo to many people. It is almost impossible to have a good marriage, and being a concubine is the best result.

As soon as the latter enters the Jiaofang Division, their reputation and status are fixed and they can never raise their heads. Just like those who were born as actors such as Ling Guan and Bao Guan, they will never have any room for improvement once they enter the theater.
