[The Legend of Zhen Huan] Rebirth of An Lingrong

Three years have passed, and this year Lexus will go to the capital to take part in the examination.The general examination is held in the capital Gongyuan in spring, and the examination period is in March, so it is also called Chunwei.

After the Lantern Festival, An's mother and Fang's family began to prepare for Ling Zhi to go north to take the exam. The March spring in the capital was cold, and it was still very cold.It is a kind of torture for the students who take the exam, especially for the students who are used to the warm climate in the south.

It was a long way to go to the capital, An's mother and Fang's were very worried, they prepared a lot of things, and people picked and picked a few times, but they were still worried.

"Grandmother, mother, why don't I bring a few people to accompany my brother to the capital?" Ling Rong suggested after thinking about it for a few days.

"No!" "No!" An's mother and Fang's unanimously vetoed.

"Rong'er, grandma knows that you love your brother. But after all, you are a big girl who is about to grow up, so you can't go out casually like before. Besides, it's cold in the capital, and your body is weak. If you suffer How can you get the wind and cold!" Mother An persuaded patiently.

"But..." Ling Rong was worried.

"Rong'er, don't worry, listen to grandma." An's mother held Ling Rong's hand to comfort her.

"Actually, our Anjia still has relatives in the capital, but we don't usually move around much. She is your grandfather's sister, and you should call her aunt. This time, grandma wrote her a letter with the cheek, and she also I promised to help take care of Ling Zhi. So, Ronger, you don't have to worry so much. "

"Grandma?" Ling Rong was puzzled, she had never heard that the An family had other relatives besides theirs.In her memory, starting from her great-grandfather, the An family has been passed down in a single line with no side branches. Where did this aunt come from?

"It's a long story, and it goes back to the generation of your ancestors. Our ancestors of the An family were also authentic Manchus. They lived outside the customs, but they were just ordinary nomads. Not abundant.

Later, Emperor Taizong founded the Qing Dynasty and brought a large number of people into the pass, including your Gaozu family.After entering the customs, Han culture was gradually accepted, and later the flag registration was strictly divided, and the Han army flag was added. Our family has a weak foundation, so we entered the Han army flag. "An's mother said melancholy, Ling Rong listened very carefully, she never knew that there were such connections in the family.

"Banner people are not allowed to engage in business. Although they have enclose countless lands since entering the customs, and they can receive annual grain, the life of banner people without official positions is still relatively difficult. Your Gaozu's family belongs to such a family.

Later, many bannermen began to seek other ways out, and most of them did business in the name of domestic servants, and your great-grandfather also had such thoughts. "An's mother took a sip of tea and continued: "Your great-grandfather was the eldest son of the concubine in the family, and your biological mother was just a housewife, and she bled profusely after giving birth to her son.Your great-grandfather has become an invisible person in the family, and his life is worse than that of a favored servant.However, your great-grandfather's concubine's wife was very jealous, and always looked down on your great-grandfather, so she took this opportunity to register your great-grandfather as a merchant and became the nominal shopkeeper of the family.You know, no one within three generations of Shang nationality can take part in the imperial examination! "Speaking of this, there was a hint of hatred in An's mother's voice.

"Grandmother..." Ling Rong called out worriedly, Mother An took a breath, and continued: "Your great-grandfather has been holding back and working hard to manage the family's business. There is indeed a lot of money. The more money in the clan, the ability to find a few official positions for the younger generation, and gradually have some background. And even your great-grandfather also has a certain right to speak, and secretly transferred it under the management Part of the assets, operating a lot of their own industries.

Later, when your great-grandfather reached the age of marrying a wife, because the elders in the clan favored your great-grandfather, his aunt did not dare to bully her too much, so she married a daughter from a Manchurian banner family. His father is indeed the magistrate of the fourth grade, and he holds certain real power.Although this concubine's mother is not of high birth, she is quite loved by Qi Ama.

After your great-grandfather got married, he moved out to live alone. Relying on the property he bought before and the shade of his father-in-law, his life became better and better.Soon, they had a son and a daughter.However, without the cash cow of your great-grandfather, the business of the family plummeted, and the people of the family changed their minds.

At that time, your great-grandfather's father-in-law passed away, and those people joined forces to embezzle your great-grandfather's family business.Under the frame of those people, your great-grandmother died unexpectedly.This completely angered your great-grandfather, so your great-grandfather used all his property as a bet, and joined forces with local officials and wealthy gentry to completely embezzle and dismantle the family's property.

After that, your great-grandfather changed his name and took your grandfather and your aunt to Songyang County to settle down.Not long after, your great-grandfather died of depression, leaving only two and a half older children to depend on each other.

Later, your grandfather slowly started a family business, and your aunt got married and was still a scholar.Later, your grandfather passed away, and your aunt followed her husband to work elsewhere, and gradually the two families became estranged.Also, it was only in recent years that we got in touch again. "

"We've been in Songyang County for so many years, why didn't my aunt and grandma come around with us?" Ling Rong was puzzled.

"Hey... In the end, your aunt is also a miserable person. She has been married for many years and has no income. Her mother's family has no backing. Life is difficult. When your grandfather just left, your aunt sent someone to send money to help Your father and I did it secretly, and we didn’t dare to let the in-law’s family know. Later, I heard that she gave birth to a daughter, and life was easier. Later, when we were far away, there was no news. "

"Grandmother, is it really okay for my brother to bother my aunt? My aunt has enough troubles at home, and my brother is going to take the exam soon, and he has to concentrate on studying. This...isn't right." After listening to An's mother, Lingrong said, I am more determined to follow.

"Your great-uncle has been retired, and the concubine is serving as an official outside. Now the old couple lives alone in the old house. Usually, your aunt takes care of it. There are not so many outsiders in the family, so it's okay." An's mother explained.

"After all, it's uncomfortable to live under the fence. My brother will have a trial soon. Rong'er wants my brother to feel at ease and have no worries. Grandmother should follow Rong'er! Rong'er will take good care of herself and her brother." Ling Rong knelt on the ground Request, unwilling to compromise on this.

"Rong'er..." Mother An sighed, this child is too stubborn, and always likes to carry heavy burdens on his back.

"Grandmother, please do it!" Ling Rong begged with his head on the ground.

"You! Bull tempered! Get up, grandma promises you." An's mother asked someone to help the mausoleum up, and reluctantly compromised.Among all the children, this granddaughter of hers has the tenacity and drive of her grandfather the most. If she hadn't been born as a daughter, it would be great for Ling Rong to inherit the family business.Hey... good fortune tricks people.

With An's mother's permission, Lingrong began to prepare things for the north.In fact, when An's mother and Fang's were preparing the luggage for Ling Zhi, Ling Rong had already started to prepare, but he didn't want to make too much movement.It's good now, she doesn't need to worry about anything anymore, she can play to her heart's content.

Mausoleum is divided into several parts in terms of business matters. Naturally, Anjia's shop and property are entrusted to Fang and Anfu. Anfu has also grown a lot over the years, so there is no problem in keeping it; Mausoleum's own property is directly entrusted to them. Entrust it to the major shopkeepers, and Ling Jie will supervise it on his behalf.That's right, it was Ling Jie.Although Ling Jie is only 9 years old this year, he has already studied with Ling Rong for two years.Ling Jie has had a paranoid love for silver since he was a child. He is more talented in business than Ling Rong, but he is still young and needs to be tempered. The few months when Ling Rong is away is the best training opportunity.

After arranging the family affairs, Ling Rong and Ling Zhi set off on the road with two nuns, four maids, four servants, two coachmen and two large carriages.

All the way north, the colder and colder it is, which makes everyone who is used to the warm weather in the south feel a little uncomfortable.It was not too far from Chuzhou to Kyoto, and they had plenty of time, so they didn't have to rush day and night, and basically chose to stay in inns.After half a month of stop and go like this, Ling Rong and his party arrived in Kyoto.

"It's getting late today, let's find an inn to stay overnight, and it won't be too late to visit my aunt after repairing." Ling Rong got out of the carriage and said to Ling Zhi on the side.

"Well, that's fine." Ling Zhi was also a little tired, and he put his cloak on his body, and agreed.

A group of people found a nearby inn to stay and had a night's rest. The next day, Lingrong sent someone to the "Zhuangzhai Yahang", intending to rent a house for a temporary stay.The people in the tooth shop worked very quickly, and there was news that day, Lingrong changed into men's clothes, took the nanny and the servants to look at the house, and finally chose a house with two entrances.The house is fairly new, and there are all kinds of household items inside, so you can move in after a little tidying up.Because Mausoleum is a short-term lease, the dental office requires Mausoleum to pay all the rent at once.After paying the money and going through the formalities, the group moved in.

The house has been unoccupied for some time, and it is chilly everywhere.Lingrong sent people to buy a lot of high-quality silver charcoal and came back. The hot charcoal pot was fired, and only then did he feel a little bit of popularity.

After settling in, Ling Zhi sent someone to hand over a greeting card, planning to visit their aunt the next day.

Their uncle's surname is Li, and he is also the banner of the Han army.When their aunt got married, she was just a poor scholar. Later, she was admitted to Juren. Later, because she failed in three subjects in the general examination, she was selected by the Ministry of Rites and served as a low-level official.After so many years of mediocrity, he was only a fifth-rank official when he became an official.

The next day, Ling Zhi and Ling Rong got up early to pack up, took the prepared gifts, and went to Li Mansion.It must have been arranged by their aunt and grandmother in advance. As soon as they arrived at the door, a housekeeper greeted them and sent the two brothers and sisters to the hall of the main courtyard.The two old men were already waiting there, looking out the door anxiously.

"Grandnephew Ling Zhi, please meet your uncle and aunt." "Grandniece Ling Rong, please meet your uncle and aunt." Ling Zhi and Ling Rong went up to meet the two elders together.

"Okay, okay, nephew and grandson, get up, get up." Mr. Li said with a smile.

"Come and let me see, after so many years, it's considered to be seeing my natal family again." The old lady said with a sob.

"Mom, you should be happy, why are you crying? Stop doing this, and carefully scare the two children." A gentle female voice comforted.

"Hey! Look at me too! Zhi'er, Rong'er, sit down quickly, come and serve tea!" The old lady quickly put away her tears and ordered.

"This has always been Aunt Fen? Ling Zhi has met Aunt Fen." Ling Zhi said politely.Seeing the woman's appearance, Ling Rong on the side was stunned for a moment, only to recover when he heard Ling Zhi's name for the woman, and hurried forward to meet her.

After the ceremony, the two brothers and sisters took their seats and chatted with the two old people.Ling Rong was a little absent-minded, looking at the person she should call her aunt from time to time.She was too familiar with that face, it was Aunt Xiao's face!

She remembered that in her last life, Aunt Xiao should have entered the door when she was Jiji, but she was not very clear about her identity.All I know is that she is quite a powerful woman, who can hold an abacus in each hand to settle accounts at the same time.After entering the door, he quickly reached the point where he could rival the Bai family, and he was a very capable person.And he took good care of their mother and daughter, Ling Rong has always been grateful to her.

I wonder if they are alone?Ling Rong was troubled.Until the two left Li Mansion, Ling Rong was still struggling with this issue.That night, he sent people out to inquire about the news.

Aunt Xiao was one of the few people in the previous life who treated her sincerely, and she will definitely try her best to repay this kindness.
