Then there is no more

The trend of the world, united for a long time will be divided, and divided for a long time will be united.This country changed its surname a hundred years ago, and now it belongs to the old Zhao family.

The emperors of the old Zhao family had a short lifespan. Sometimes an emperor passed away just a few years after sitting on the dragon chair, before he had time to give birth to his son.Then what to do?Then the loyal ministers can only go to the clan to choose the new emperor.Now is the first year of Kanghe, the new emperor is only fourteen years old and has just ascended the throne.

Before Emperor Kanghe came to the throne, there were three emperors in just ten years.

When it came to Emperor Kanghe, he was not the son of the first emperor, but a poor child who lost his father when he was young and his mother when he was young in a remote clan.Looking up and down, Emperor Kanghe's great-grandfather was indeed the emperor, but in his generation, he almost starved himself to death!If it hadn't been for the loyal ministers who had gone through all the bad things in the previous emperor's time and made up their minds to find a new emperor who would not be encumbered by his family, Emperor Kanghe would definitely not be able to sit on the throne.

General Shen was ordered to send the new emperor to Beijing. Now that the new emperor has successfully ascended the throne, he should pack up and go back to the northwest.

General Shen is just in his early thirties and is the eldest son of the Great General Zhenbei.Because the person in charge of Zhenbei Army is still his own father, General Shen, who is in his 30s, can only be called Major General.The major general married his wife Fang. The husband and wife were deeply affectionate, and they played harmoniously. They already had a son and a daughter under their knees.

His son is the eldest of the two households in the Shen family, so he is the eldest master.His daughter is ranked fourth, so she is the fourth girl.

At this time, the disguised young master was standing alone at the entrance of an alley in Nancheng.

There has always been a saying in the capital that the east is rich and the west is rich.There are Guozijian and Taixue in Dongcheng, and it is also the residence of many nobles and important ministers, so it is naturally worthy of a noble name.Small officials and wealthy businessmen live in the west city, and there are several prosperous markets, which can also be called a rich word.As for Nancheng, it is too close to Caishikou, and Caishikou is the place where imperial court prisoners are beheaded every autumn. The nobles think that the bloody smell here is too bloody, and they are afraid of causing bad luck. Let alone living in Nancheng, there is no need for it at ordinary times. They will not easily move to Nancheng, so Nancheng has gradually become a gathering place for the poor.

The 12-year-old young master came to Nancheng for the first time.He grew up in the rough wind and sand in the northwest, and he didn't have the squeamishness of a young man in the capital, so squatting at the entrance of the alley like a ruffian, he would not be out of tune with the surrounding environment.It was early in the morning, and the young master had not been waiting for long, when a middle-aged man in bunts came out of the alley, with his head bowed and hurried on his way, as if bent over by the misery of life.

The young master got up, walked towards the man, and bumped the man's shoulder as if he had no eyes.

The man raised his head subconsciously.

The young master quickly lowered his head, said "Sorry", and continued to walk deep into the alley as if he was in a hurry.

The man was in a hurry to go to work at the dock, but he didn't take this matter to heart, and went out of the alley without looking back.

The young master went deep into the alley, clutched his chest, leaned against the wall, and took a deep breath.so similar!It's so similar!

The young master does not look like General Shen, nor Fang, but no one has ever suspected that he is a child of the Shen family, because it is said that he looks like his grandfather.Fang's natal family is in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. The young master has never met his grandfather, but the dowry Fang brought from her natal family said that he is [-] to [-]% similar to Fang's father.Sixty-seven points of similarity sounds like a blood relationship can be confirmed. However, just now the young master saw the middle-aged man's face, and he is [-]% similar to this middle-aged man!The remaining two points are not the same, because the man's face has already grown wrinkles from the vicissitudes of life.

If the young master hadn't deliberately disguised himself when he went out, the man would probably be stunned.

Three days ago, the Eldest Young Master picked up a small note on the desk in the study room. On the note, he wrote a sentence and an address.This address is this small alley in Nancheng.The young master only thought it was someone's prank, but he was really curious, so he came to take a look.

Could it be that what was written on the note is true?Is he really the dove that occupies the magpie's nest?

No, no, no, you can't be disturbed by the black hands behind the scenes.

The fact that people are similar does not mean that they are related by blood.The reason why he looks like this middle-aged man may just be a coincidence.The focus now is not on the middle-aged man, but on that note.First of all, where did this note come from?Secondly, what purpose did the person who wrote the note have?The young master didn't believe that the person who gave the note had good intentions.This must be a conspiracy against the Shen family!

The young master sneered.

The first wife of the Shen family has two rooms.One room is the big room where the young master lives, and the other room is the second room where the young master and second uncle live.The young master went to the northwest with his parents when he was less than one year old, and his younger sister was born in the northwest.At this time, there was a saying that the military commander was away and his family members were not allowed to leave the capital, but since the grandfather of the young master is still in charge of the Zhenbei Army, it is enough for his grandfather to leave his wife and young son's family in the capital.When the eldest young master's grandfather retired and it was his father's turn to take charge of the Northern Army, then his mother, Fang Shi, and his younger sister would not be able to leave Beijing.

Because the eldest son of the Shen family has been staying in the northwest, the young master doesn't know much about the situation in central Beijing.

Who is plotting against the Shen family?The young master has no idea about this.

"Father must know about this." The young master said to himself in his heart.

Although the young master had already made a decision, he did not leave the alley.Waiting for the alley to gradually become lively, the young master caught an old lady who was sitting on the threshold sewing shoe soles, went up to say hello, and said, "Ma'am, I'm here to look for relatives, you know that butcher Li Where do you live?"

The aunt shook her head and said, "Pig butcher? There is no pig butcher in our alley."

The young master pretended to be anxious, and said eagerly, "Ma'am, why don't you think about it again? The address my uncle left me is this alley, and according to his address, it should be that house... ..." The young master pointed to the home of the middle-aged man who looked very similar to him.

The aunt looked in the direction the young master pointed.

The young master licked his lips and said, "But when I knocked on the door just now, no one answered."

The aunt shook her head again and said: "The family's surname is Bian, and they have lived here for more than ten years. Before them, there lived a porter named Zhang, and there was no one surnamed Li. I have lived in this alley all my life. We really haven’t lived in a pig butcher here, you can look elsewhere.”

"I... I don't know where to look for it!" The young master was about to cry, "Is the family really named Bian?"

The aunt said: "The real surname is Bian. The owner of the house was originally a scholar, so he shouldn't have come to live with us, but he had a bad luck more than ten years ago..." The old aunt casually talked about the experience of Bian Xiucai. People from the capital city originally lived in Beicheng, and their family opened a small private school, so life is not difficult.

Twelve years ago, Bian Xiucai's wife gave birth to a child. The family was happy, but the child was lost less than a week after birth. It must have been carried away by thieves.Although the matter was reported to the Yamen, the child was not found.Not long after, Bian Xiucai's small private school suddenly got involved in a small lawsuit, and all his family property was confiscated, even his reputation as a scholar was taken away.He took his wife and fled to Nancheng.Because of the loss of the child, his wife was frightened during the confinement period, and gradually her body broke down, and she couldn't get out of bed for eight out of ten days.

The young master's heart beat wildly when he heard it: "Someone actually went to someone else's house to steal a child? What are the characteristics of that child? Can you still find it?"

"The couple have been looking for the child, but I reckon they won't be able to find it." The aunt slowly shook her head, "Listen to them, the child's features look very much like his father's, and the child's There is also a small mole on the buttocks, which grows on the left buttock."

The young master almost wanted to reach out and cover his butt.There is a small mole on his left butt!

There is a saying in Fang's natal family that there is a mole on a man's buttocks, which means that he has a "sit" fate.Who can sit still all the time?Naturally, he is a scholar!So when the young master was three or four years old, Fang often made fun of the mole on his buttocks in private, coaxing him to go to school and take the No. [-] Scholar exam.However, Young General Shen scoffed at this statement. His son naturally wanted to inherit his father's career as a general, so he would not be a sour scholar!

The young master was startled.How come it's such a coincidence that the lost child of the Bian family also has a mole on his buttocks?However, the story of their husband and wife was passed on from other people's mouths, and it was only spread in the south city, at most it was spread to the north city, and it would definitely not reach the ears of the nobles in the east city.If the young master hadn't picked up that little note in his study, he would never have known that there was a person who looked like him living in Nancheng.

So, the focus is still on that note.

The young master still didn't doubt his identity.How could his father not be his real father, how could his mother not be his real mother?He was born in Shen's family, could someone come into Shen's house to exchange a child?The young master suspects that the Bian family couple are pawns arranged by the mastermind behind the scenes, and the mastermind behind the scenes is really cunning!The Bian family and his wife have been looking for a child, and if they catch someone, they will talk about the child's characteristics, so the rumor that the child has a mole on the buttock has been spread for more than ten years.Therefore, if someone is really plotting against the Shen family, then this game has been laid out more than ten years ago.

The young master asked around in the alley, but naturally he couldn't find "Zhuzhu Li". After all, he made up this character, but he listened to the affairs of the Bian family.He pretended to be downcast and left with a sigh.After walking two streets, he jumped into an unassuming carriage parked by the side of the road.After washing off his disguise in the car and changing his clothes, the young master turned back into the handsome young master of the Shen family.

When stepping into the gate of Shen's house, the young master ran into his second uncle.

Second Master Shen looked at the young master with joy.He has a good wife and beautiful concubines, and he has seven or eight daughters, but he hasn't even given birth to a son, so he can only look at his elder nephew with greedy eyes.Second Master Shen handed the birdcage in his hand to the Eldest Young Master, and said, "This is the bird I found for your eldest sister, you can play with it!"

The young master had a very good impression of the second uncle. Although the second uncle was raised by his grandmother and was an incomprehensible playboy, the playboy also had a heart of sincerity.Seeing so many younger sisters in the second uncle's family, the young master sometimes felt a little dazed, as if he had had so many older sisters in his previous life.

In short, although the uncle and nephew have not seen each other for 11 years, there is no barrier between them.

The eldest young master smiled and said: "Since it is for the eldest sister to play with, how can I win people's love..." He lowered his head and looked at the bird. Just don't know how much it will say.He teased the bird, but the bird remained silent.

Second Master Shen thought so too, his daughter was waiting eagerly, this parrot should be sent to his daughter first, at worst, he could get a better one for his nephew in a few days.However, he was unwilling to give up the opportunity to get close to his nephew, so he said, "Why don't you give this bird a name?"

"Jiaojiao. Let's call her Jiaojiao." The young master said without thinking.The flowing pet, the iron-clad pet.

The parrot hopped around in the cage, and finally opened its mouth, saying: "It's ugly! I call Hua Hua! Master Hua is a thief!"

Second Master Shen: "..."

Eldest Young Master: "..."

How could such a vulgar bird be the company of the girls at home?

Second Master Shen smiled awkwardly and said, "This bird is weird and clever. It's not suitable for your sister. You can raise it."
