The big bandit in the Red Mansion robbed Lin Daiyu at the beginning

Jia Zheng smiled bitterly and said,

"So that the old lady knows, when I return from the palace, the imperial guards will be waiting for me at the gate of the Ministry of Works!"

"Huh? So anxious!"

Yeast's expression changed drastically. While feeling the seriousness of the situation in Yangzhou, he became even more worried about Jia Zheng.

Forced a smile and comforted,

"You don't have to be like this. The imperial court intends to pacify Qingfeng Village and quell the war. This is a good thing!"

"It is said that when two countries are at war, envoys are not executed. Even if pacification fails, I believe that you, the imperial envoy, will not suffer any harm."

As he spoke, he looked at Jia Zheng and said earnestly,

"Don't worry, I will take good care of Baoyu and your illegitimate son!"

Although Grandmother Jia knew that Jia Zheng might be in danger on this trip.

However, in the current generation of the Jia family, apart from an empty title, the head of the Jia family, Jia Zheng, is just a fifth-rank doctor.

If there are no special circumstances, I am afraid that it will completely decline in two or three generations and become like everyone else!

There are certainly risks in Jia Zheng's appointment as an imperial envoy this time.

But wealth and honor are achieved through risk. After the house of the Duke of Shanguo next door was ransacked, her sense of crisis became even more intense.

It was not until the imperial edict arrived today that the situation was somewhat relieved.

After listening to what Grandmother Jia said,

Jia Zheng also understood what the old lady meant.

The imperial edict and rewards had already arrived, leaving him no room for resistance.

Rather than being extremely reluctant and refusing, which might even anger the palace, he had to go in the end.

It would be better to take a gamble for the survival of the Jia family.

If this appeasement can achieve the desired results, it is possible that the Jia family will prosper again.

He opened his mouth for a long time, but in the end Jia Zheng said nothing.

He sighed and nodded, saying,

"Don't worry, old lady. Regardless of success or failure, the palace will not treat our Jia family unfairly."

"But I am only worried about those two good-for-nothing bastards. After Baoyu recovers from his injuries, I hope you will teach him well and stop doting on him like you did in the past."

When Lady Jia heard this, she was instinctively displeased and subconsciously wanted to refute it.

But when he saw Jia Zheng's eyes full of expectation, he couldn't help but burst into tears and said,

"Go, go, share the country's worries and serve the country with loyalty. This is the duty of a minister."

"No matter what, old lady, I will definitely help you raise Baoyu to adulthood as long as I have a breath left.

"Yes, old lady, my son is gone!"

After kowtowed three times, Jia Zheng stood up and turned away with a fearless attitude.

Mrs. Wang and the Sanchun sisters all looked at Jia Zheng's back with tears in their eyes, but they couldn't say anything.

At this moment, Grandmother Jia was also in a state of great confusion. She immediately said she was tired and returned to her own courtyard.

All the young ladies and wives also left.

After Lin Daiyu returned to Furong Courtyard with her nanny,

He clasped his hands in front of him, pressed them against his chest and said happily,

"I never thought that in just a few months, Brother Qingfeng would be able to develop the village to such a large scale."

"I was actually able to get the imperial court to issue an edict to recruit them. Why didn't you tell me earlier, Nanny, instead of making me worry every day?"

Aunt Rong said with a smile,

"Miss, the Bee Master and you often exchange letters."

"The Peak Master will naturally inform you of anything you need to know. Although I serve you daily, I dare not rashly say anything irrelevant that might disturb your mood, young lady."

Lin Daiyu just said it casually and didn't mean to blame him.

After thinking for a while, he asked with anticipation,

"Mammy, what do you mean, now that the imperial court intends to recruit Brother Qingfeng, does that mean that once Brother Qingfeng accepts the offer, we'll be able to meet soon?"

"This one……"

Upon hearing this, Aunt Rong was slightly stunned, then lowered her head and remained silent.

Lin Daiyu didn't notice Rong Mama's expression, and continued to speak happily.

"Brother Qingfeng is truly amazing. He was able to get the imperial court to issue an order personally."
