[The Legend of Zhen Huan] Rebirth of An Lingrong

After An Linglong left, Bai's family fell seriously ill, An Ning asked An's mother for instructions, and moved to "Ilan Courtyard" to serve Bai's sick.Perhaps the blow was too great, Bai's illness has been repeated, and he didn't get better until the end of the year, but it hurt the bottom, and he has been sick all the time, and his complexion is not very good.Bai's health was about to improve, and An Ning moved out of "Ilan Courtyard" again.

It was already December, and Jixiang's stomach was already very big, and it might start at any time.An's mother was getting old and couldn't bear the troubles, so Fang decided to hire a Wen Po, and moved Jixiang and Wen Po to the "Ilan Courtyard", and sent Madam Yun to take care of her together.Seeing his future grandson, Bai's spirit improved a lot, and his body also improved.

On the seventh day of December, on the eve of the Laba Festival, auspiciousness was activated, and a healthy baby girl was born smoothly.When the news came, the whole family was busy preparing the Laba porridge to be distributed tomorrow. When they learned that a daughter was born, everyone just nodded to show that they knew, and there was no further text.There was no reward, and no greeting.

Bai also doesn't like this granddaughter very much. In Bai's heart, her daughter will belong to someone else when she grows up, and only a son can inherit the family business. She even wants to adopt that grandson whom she has never seen before.It's just that she still has to think about how to realize this wish. After Laba, the Bai family began to make small movements frequently.

Ling Rong knew that Ji Xiang had given birth to a girl, and probably knew Bai's plan, but she didn't plan to do anything now.At the end of another year, Ling Rong is very busy. Although the learning of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting has temporarily stopped, Ling Rong still feels that there is not enough time.

The business of "Yaotiaolou" is even better than Ling Rong expected. After all, Chuzhou is a big city with well-developed water and land routes. It is a distribution center for goods and there are many merchants passing by.

Ling Rong is currently busy sorting out the head and face patterns used on the third floor of "Guanju Pavilion", picked up some and slightly modified them, and made a batch of jewelry and sent them to "Yaotiaolou", ready to try the market first.On the other hand, Mausoleum still needs to start drawing new designs. The VIP room on the third floor of "Guanju Pavilion" has always been in a state of short supply, and the supply is in short supply.

After the New Year, Ling Rong received another large amount of money, Ling Rong exchanged [-]% of it into small bank notes and kept the rest in the bank.With enough money in his hand, Ling Rong had a new idea in his heart, so he went to Fang to discuss it.

"Rong'er, have you figured it out? In this way, you will basically lose all the money you have earned these days, and your father's heart is on that Bai family, so why bother! Mother still hopes that you can save more Yin Zi is by your side." Fang looked at Ling Rong and persuaded him earnestly.

"Mother, father is the head of the An family after all, Rong'er will only be better if father's future is good, right?" Ling Rong persuaded with a smile, "Furthermore, Brother Linglong just left, and Aunt Bai felt very sad. , it’s not a big deal for daddy to accompany him more. Mother has four of us, brothers and sisters, and we all love mother the most.”

"You, you have been big-minded since you were a child. Mother can't tell you. Don't worry about this matter. Mother will discuss it with your grandmother and father." Fang nodded affectionately on Lingrong's head and compromised.

"Rong'er knows that mother loves me the most." Ling Rong lay in Fang's arms and said coquettishly.

The matter that Lingrong consulted with the Fang family was to clear the matter of donating officials to An Bihuai. An Bihuai is now the county magistrate of the eighth rank, and the county magistrate is the seventh rank.Ling Rong thought that he would at least donate an official of the seventh rank or higher to An Bihuai, so that some things would be easier to handle.

Donating officials in the Qing Dynasty was no different from ordinary business transactions. As long as there was enough silver, you could donate a good official position.It's just that the official position obtained in this way is not as respectable as the official position obtained through the orthodox scientific examination.It's a pity that An Bihuai doesn't have that talent, nor does he have that perseverance. If he wants to be promoted, he has to buy it.

Buying an official is a big deal after all, although An's mother is tempted, she has to consider a lot.An's family has a weak foundation. If they buy an official at this time, they will definitely empty out their family's wealth. An's mother doesn't want to do that.She values ​​Ling Zhi's future more. She doesn't think it is a good thing for An Bihuai to have a high official position. A high position means greater responsibility and more mistakes. She cannot let Ling Zhi be implicated.

An's mother didn't believe that buying an official was Fang's idea, and Fang didn't have such thoughts.An's mother invited Ling Rong to her courtyard and asked Ling Rong what she thought.Ling Rong only explained some of the real reasons while avoiding the seriousness, and then handed over the silver taels prepared in advance to An's mother, and An's mother agreed.

The matter of donating an official was decided in this way. According to the amount of money he had, he finally donated a seventh-rank inspector experience to An Bihuai.

An's family doesn't have any property in Chuzhou, only the two-entry small house that Ling Rong bought for Ling Zhi that day and Ling Rong's own "Slim House".No matter which one is not suitable for a large family to live in, what's more, An Bihuai doesn't know about these things, and An's mother only knows a little bit. Mausoleum is not so selfless, and she doesn't want to give up the things she has worked so hard to manage.

The reason why Ling Rong is willing to donate money to An Bihuai is to find a backer for his business before Ling Zhi has an official status; He found a backer for himself so that Ling Rong could not touch her easily.Now that An Linglong was gone, it was An Ning's turn to be next, but she still had to pave the way before she could do it.

Before An Bihuai went to the state to take office, An's mother sent someone to make arrangements.The family had just taken a large sum of money to An Bihuai to dredge and donate officials, and there was not much money left, so they had to reluctantly buy a three-entry house first.This kind of house can't accommodate all the An family members, so when An Bihuai took office, only Fang Shi and Wei Shi followed along with the three younger ones.An's mother stayed at home with the three brothers and sisters of Lingrong and the Bai family, and planned to wait until the situation was better before moving the family to Chuzhou.

An Bihuai was not at home, and the Bai family had no backer, so they became completely honest.Ling Rong doesn't plan to touch Bai Shi and An Ning for the time being, her main goal now is to earn more money and study more things hard.Since she can't control her future destiny, she can only work hard to arm herself and make herself stronger. The next three years are the key.

In the first year, Ling Rong focused on self-improvement, urging herself to continuously learn various skills, and constantly urging those around her to study hard and make continuous progress; Ling Rong knew clearly whether she would enter the palace again in the future or be lucky Marrying into an ordinary family, the people around her will be her greatest support, and their importance is not even inferior to that of the family!

During this whole year, Ling Rong seldom had time to relax, and she filled up her schedule.The only entertainment is to be with Tian'er, sometimes to go shopping, sometimes to go horseback riding.Originally, Tian'er wanted to drag Ling Rong to learn martial arts, but unfortunately Ling Rong really didn't have the talent in this area, after two days of learning, he was injured all over his body, so he had no choice but to give up.In the end, they could only settle for the next best thing and learn dance together, which made Tian'er satisfied.

In the second year, after careful planning by An's mother, Ling Rong and Fang's family, they finally had enough money to buy a big house in Chuzhou after a year and a half, and they were able to move their family to Chuzhou.

The family relocation means family reunion. This is a happy event, but there is still one thing that Lingrong has not handled well, and these days I am a little anxious.This is a peaceful marriage.

The laws of the Qing Dynasty stipulated that all women aged 14 to 16 from the Eight Banners officials of the Manchu, Mongolian and Han armies, sergeants from other households, and idle men must participate in the three-year-old women's draft. Women over the age of 17 no longer participate.It stands to reason that before An Ning participated in the draft, she could not enter into a marriage contract privately. The problem lies in An Ning's background.

When An Ning was born, the Bai family hadn't even entered An's house, she was still a widow, not even an outsider.Although the farce at the full moon banquet forced An's mother to compromise and let Bai Shi and An Ning in.But An's mother didn't like Bai's behavior very much. For the sake of her status as the eldest daughter of Ling Rong's An family, and also for the reputation of An's family, she declared that An Ning was the cousin of Bai's former husband's family.He only said that An Ning was adopted under the Bai family's name because there was no descendant in the Bai family's line of husband's family.Later, the Bai family remarried and brought An Ning to An's family to take care of them. However, according to the genealogical records, An Ning was not from the An family. She was just a Han woman and was not eligible to participate in the draft. reason.

Later, somehow An Ning hooked up with the county magistrate's nephew and got engaged.The mausoleum has not disturbed An Ning, and the big reason is because of this marriage. Although the county magistrate is not a high-ranking official, in Songyang County, the county magistrate has enough power.Ling Rong actively recruited An Bihuai to donate officials, also in order to get rid of this predicament.Now, everyone is equal, and there is no one who is superior to others, and many things are much easier to do.

Ling Rong originally planned to ruin An Ning's marriage, but something happened recently that made Ling Rong change his mind.

It was rumored that An Ning's fiancé was jealous of others in Hualou, and got into a big fight and was seriously injured.Although no life was injured, it seems that some roots of illness have also fallen.Although his family kept it hidden, there were still a lot of rumors leaked out, it is said that he became disabled and his temperament changed drastically.So, Ling Rong specially asked someone to confirm the authenticity of the news. After confirming that it was correct, Ling Rong decided not to be a villain who ruined other people's marriages, and kindly blocked the news to prevent it from reaching An Ning and Bai's family. in the ear.

After An Ning's matter was settled, Ling Rong followed An's mother in a good mood, and took all the rest of An's family to Chuzhou.Unexpectedly, I got a big "surprise" as soon as I went to the state.

Ling Rong looked at the slender and weak woman on the right side of An Bihuai, with an ugly expression on her face.Judging by the woman's demeanor, she must be a "Yangzhou skinny horse". In recent years, the trend of raising "skinny horses" has been very popular in the Qinhuai area.Unexpectedly, she and Fang's tried their best to help An Bihuai find a future and save up a family business, but he, An Bihuai, is lucky to be happy in Chuzhou!I am so sorry for them!Ling Rong's good mood disappeared in an instant, and An's mother's face was not very good-looking, but neither of them was restless, and they did not explode on the spot.

When An Mu and Ling Rong arrived, the mansion naturally prepared a welcome banquet.It was a rare family reunion, and Mrs. Bai was also released.An's mother is the eldest, so she naturally sits in the main seat, then An Bihuai and Fang's sit on the left and right sides of An's mother, then Ling Zhi and Ling Rong should be the four brothers and sisters, and finally the concubine and concubine, and the concubine is the last.In this way, Mrs. Bai sat down with the new Aunt Qiao.When two women with similar styles met each other, they were extremely jealous, and Ming Chao's sarcasm made Ling Rong feel a little better.

After the welcome banquet, Ling Rong learned from Mrs. Fang that this Mrs. Qiao was a gift from An Bihuai's Shangfeng, and that it was indeed a "Yangzhou skinny horse".An Bihuai is very fond of her, but that woman is very smart, and she fights for favor, but she has never had a confrontation with Fang.That being the case, Ling Rong doesn't plan to do anything for the time being, and I believe An's mother will do something.

After settling in, Ling Rong began to organize the business here in Chuzhou. The shop of "Yaotiaolou" is too small, and the supply is already in short supply. Ling Rong needs a bigger shop and more silver taels, and she wants to start some other businesses.

In the third year, Ling Rong more than doubled the size of her business, and of course she was not alone.There are more dignitaries and dignitaries in Chuzhou. Because of Ling Zhiyayuan's good reputation, Ling Rong was fortunate to be able to talk and connect with the wife of the Chief Envoy of Zhejiang Province, Mrs. Merdilla.The chief envoy's department is a subordinate official of the governor. Although the governor and the governor are still suppressed above, they are also official positions with real power. It is not easy for Ling Rong to get on the line with his wife.

This is actually due to Ling Zhi, Ling Zhi is well educated and humble. During the "Luming Banquet", he was fortunate to meet Mr. Cai, the chief envoy. Mr. Cai's surname is actually Cai Erjia, and he belongs to the Manchurian Banner.Master Cai admired Ling Zhi's talent quite a lot, and wanted Ling Zhi to guide his son's knowledge.After An's family moved to Chuzhou, Ling Zhi handed over a greeting card to Cai's mansion, and then slowly got online.

For the past three years, Ling Rong has made plans step by step, accumulating strength little by little for her family and her home. She only hopes that when the storm comes, there will be a warm harbor where she can settle down.
