He Shen

Shanbao turned around and took a closer look at the brass lock hanging on the door panel. He held it with both hands, inserted it in and closed it, and locked it. Then he took the key from his waist and inserted it into the keyhole. After twisting it twice, the brass lock snapped. opened.

The lock was not broken.

Shanbao finally feels relieved, anyway, with Fukang'an's identity, it is impossible to come to his house to be a thief.Never mind, remember to ask next time.

Hanging the copper lock and the chain on the branch of the persimmon tree in the courtyard, Shanbao smiled when he thought of what Fukang'an had sent, rubbed his hands, turned around and entered the west wing room.

Fucha's family is a first-class wealthy family in the capital, and they are respectable, so the things they send are naturally decent, and the precious things are packed in exquisite carved wooden boxes.

Ginseng, deer beetle, tiger bone, these are medicinal materials.

The bags are wrapped in Songjiang cloth, made of silk and satin, and they are all sky blue and soapy green, a color suitable for young men to wear.

Generally speaking, Fukang'an's gift is not thin, and it is very appropriate.People can't find anything wrong with it, but they sigh in their hearts, it's so caring.If Shanbao was really an 11-year-old child, he would probably be moved.

Of course, even Shanbao now has to pretend to be moved.

Although it seems that he doesn't know good and bad, Fukang'an's gift is much more valuable than Fang Bao's gift, but Fang Bao's family background is average, and he can give Shanbao an old ginseng, which is probably a real treasure.

Fukang'an's ceremony was mixed with too many other things, but Shanbao still learned of Fukang'an's kindness. According to his current status, it is a great blessing to be valued by Fukang'an.

Shanbao carried the silk and satin into the room, left an old ginseng, and found a gray leather bag to pack a few medicinal materials. He didn't even bother to eat, locked the door with the medicinal materials, and went straight to Tongrentang. pharmacy.

At any time, a person is good-looking and good-looking, Shanbao is handsome, his clothes are not good, but they are clean and tidy, he is also a scholar, and he is polite. I took a few extra glances at the wound on his forehead.

Shanbao was generous and frank, "I still asked your doctor to see me when I was sick, and now I am cured, but these medicinal materials are not used at home for a while. The family is in trouble, so I simply use it for some money to live. You are Tong Ren Tang Shopkeeper, you must be knowledgeable, you know the quality of this medicinal material, so give me a fair price."

The shopkeeper believed Shanbao's words to seven percent, and nodded with a smile, "My lord, to tell you the truth, all three of yours are of average quality. This ginseng is a hundred-year-old wild ginseng, and the deer is cut from an adult deer. The tiger bones are also good. In this way, we are in the business of old customers, and you will not be at a disadvantage. I will give you a total of 500 taels for these three items. What do you think? I don’t think other shops can open except our Tong Ren Tang. Pay such a price."

"Okay, Tongrentang is an old shop in Beijing, I can trust it." Shanbao smiled, your family's history is longer than that of the Qing Dynasty.

"Then do you want a bank note or cash?"

"Give me 50 taels of cash, and exchange the rest for small bills."

500 taels is not a small amount, the shopkeeper first invited Shanbao to the side hall to have tea, ordered the waiter to wait on him, and went to the owner's house to get the silver in person.

This Tongrentang is indeed a medicine shop, even the tea in it smells like traditional Chinese medicine, Shanbao smiled, "Your tea also smells like medicine."

The gray-gown guy who served beside him was also very smart, he held tea for Shanbao and added tea, explaining, "Our master said that it is cold in winter, so he made some medicinal ginger tea to dispel the cold and warm the lungs, and the more you drink it, the warmer you will be."

Shanbao drank his tea slowly and thoughtfully, thinking that Fukang'an was really generous.However, it was probably not bought by his family, it must have been given by someone else, and Fukang'an resold it to him, which made him make a small fortune.

As soon as he got the money, Shanbao walked home, bought some donkey meat and burned it, wrapped it in oiled paper, and took it home with him.

Xiao Xizi pointed at Shanbao with sharp eyes and said, "Third Master, look, isn't that Mr. Shanbao from Niu Hulu's family?"

Fukang'an didn't dare to go home at noon. He secretly came out from the government school to visit Shanbao, but he was really not confident to eat Shanbao's food, so he ate lunch at the restaurant. He didn't expect to see Shanbao diagonally opposite when he left. Huoshao Shop buys Huoshao.

Fukang'an's eyes were sharp, and he could clearly see the gentle and delicate side face of that person from a distance, as white and greasy as jade. Is it so gentle?

Shanbao quickly went away with the fire in his arms, not noticing Fukang'an's master and servant.

Fukang'an had to go to the government school to study in the afternoon. Although he came from a good background, his father was very strict with him. If he knew that he was playing truant for no reason, a reprimand would be inevitable, so he didn't go to say hello to Shanbao.

Xiao Xizi said, "At school, everyone said that Uncle Shanbao's family was not well-off, but I didn't expect him to be so poor. Third Master, you are kind, but you have helped Uncle Shanbao."

Fukang'an thought of the "creaking" bed of Shanbao's family, and thought about whether to send some money to Shanbao's family.After thinking about it again and again, I gave up.Conquering a person is not such a simple matter, and money must be used wisely in order to exert its greatest effect.It was as if he had heard of Shanbao's name a long time ago, but if he intervened when he was being bullied the most, Shanbao's gratitude to him would reach the highest.

Now that the medicinal materials have just been sent, it is not suitable to send them again, it is better to wait for a better opportunity before showing kindness.

Shanbao returned home happily, and first pushed the gate of the courtyard backwards, Shanbao hid the silver before he started eating.He was just growing up, and his appetite was very good. He ate four donkey meat in a row before he was full, and drank half a pot of coarse tea.

The winter sun was just right, and Shanbao had a full stomach, so he hired a carriage outside and went directly to the woodware store.

No need for anything else, at least buy a solid bed first, at least he and Fubao can't worry about whether the bed will collapse all night, and then dare not turn over all night.

However, Shanbao was not placed in his original room.He, Ama, was an official to the second grade before his death, and his family's house was also a three-entry mansion, but it is a pity that now it is desolate, many rooms are empty, and many things have been sold by the stepmother.

The empty house, where only the two brothers live, is really desolate and desolate.

Yesterday, Shanbao and Fubao cleaned up the main room, and now they set up a new bed, covered it with newly purchased thick quilts, and brought the small coal stove in, at least they can sleep comfortably and warmly.

Shanbao simply took off his cotton shoes, climbed onto the bed, covered himself with a quilt, held a book in his hand, and read the book carefully.He had never read these scriptures and histories in his previous life, but for some reason, as long as he turned the pages of the book, the translation and understanding of this ancient text would automatically appear in his mind. He wondered countless times whether the previous Shanbao still existed in this body, But because this kind of thinking was too frightening, Shanbao took the initiative to Ah Q, who cares, he is Shanbao now anyway!

In addition to taking back the property, it is important that he familiarize himself with these scriptures as quickly as possible, and then make a living through the imperial examination.He knew that Heshen was Qianlong's number one favorite, and he was quite talented, but now that he lived in a dilapidated house and ate carrots, how could he let Qianlong know that there was Niu Hulu Shanbao in the world?

There seemed to be a gust of wind blowing around his neck, Shanbao suddenly thought of a strange rumor between Qianlong and Heshen.

When Qianlong was the crown prince, he once entered the palace for some business and saw a concubine of his father, Yongzheng, who was extremely beautiful and was doing makeup in front of the mirror. He couldn't help but want to make a joke with her, so he covered the concubine's eyes with both hands from behind , The concubine didn't know what to do, so she hit back with a comb, hitting Qianlong's forehead just right.When Qianlong's mother saw it, she said that the concubine had molested the prince and committed suicide by giving her silk.Qianlong felt sorry for the concubine, so he tapped the concubine's neck with cinnabar, and said sadly: "I have hurt you, and the soul has a spirit. After 20 years, will he be with me again?"

Later, when Heshen entered the palace to serve as his driver, the more Qianlong looked at Heshen, the more he looked like the concubine who died unjustly. When he examined his neck, he found a red birthmark on his neck.Knocking on her age also coincides with the time when the concubine died, exactly 25 years.Qianlong became more and more surprised, and thought that He Shen was the reincarnation of the concubine who died unjustly.

Shanbao shivered violently. He jumped out of bed, pulled out the bronze mirror, and looked at it for a long time. Although the bronze mirror was not very clear, it could be seen that his neck was smooth and white, and there was absolutely no trace of it. Blemishes such as red birthmarks or rouge hemorrhoids.

Shanbao breathed a sigh of relief. He was born in Qianlong for 15 years, and the age difference between Qianlong and Qianlong was as long as 39 years. Wash it up and give the old man a rabbit ending.

However, it is estimated that Qianlong was a face control, and the strongest evidence is that Fukang'an, one of the two favorite ministers during the Qianlong period, was also born like a dog.

Of course, Niu Hulu Shanbao, the second of the two favorite ministers during the Qianlong period, who was called the most beautiful man in Manchuria by later generations, was naturally not bad.

Looking at the somewhat feminine and beautiful young man in the mirror, Shanbao secretly decided to strengthen his body and exercise. His appearance was really unsafe in the Qing Dynasty, which was known for its homosexuality, especially now that he has no power or power. Be extra careful.

Shanbao thought wildly for a while, but finally he focused on going to Suo Chuoluo's house tomorrow. At present, getting the property back is still the top priority.

So Shanbao made some good preparations.
