Thinking of the plot of the original book, Fu Li smiled: "It's true that something is wrong, but it's okay, I can handle it."
What's wrong?After all, his only son had just died, his wife was seriously ill, and his daughter was young. Under such circumstances, Lin Ruhai wanted to send his wife and daughter back to the capital to recuperate. No one could tell what was wrong.
But it is not so normal to contact Lin Ruhai for the tenure of the Huaiyang patrol salt censor.
In the original book, Lin Ruhai sat in the position of Xunyan Yushi for five or six years, and finally even died directly in this position. However, this does not mean that the tenure of Xunyan Yushi is five or six years.Except for Beijing officials, the general term of office of local officials is three years, and the position of patrolling salt censor is in charge of salt affairs, so it is a big deal, and the term of office is cut to only one year.
In the original book, it is actually very abnormal for Lin Ruhai to be a salt censor for five or six years.
Many red scholars speculate that this is probably because Lin Ruhai became the victim of the game between the top rulers of the two dynasties, the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor.
But in this world, because Mrs. Wang's drugging Jia Min was exposed in advance, the Lin family had long since broken up with the Jia family, and even directly voted under the command of the fourth prince. , There is no chance to seize power with Emperor Yonghe at all, so it is naturally impossible for Lin Ruhai to become a victim of the game between the two in power.
If there is no accident, Lin Ruhai will return to Beijing next year.
The term of office was only one year, and Lin Ruhai's family worked tirelessly to bring the bones of the youngest son back to Gusu for burial... Under such circumstances, even if Jia Min was seriously ill, shouldn't he stay with Lin Ruhai in Huaiyang to recuperate? After the one-year term ends, return to the capital together?
What made Jia Min rush back to the capital even though he was seriously ill?
Is it Brother Jin?Indeed.
But it's not entirely because of Brother Jin.
After all, Brother Jin is staying in the capital, so even if the Lin family wants him to recognize his ancestors, it stands to reason that there is no need to be in a hurry.
It was originally like this, but who made...
Fu Li is going to marry Wei Yan in two months?
Because of Fu Li's request, the two families tacitly shortened the time for the three letters and six rituals. The originally planned one-year walk was directly reduced by several months.Later, after Emperor Yonghe issued a decree to bestow the marriage, he specially assigned many courtiers from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to help. After the two families discussed, they simply shortened the time again to half a year.
It has been more than four months since Wei Yan invited a respected and respected ancestor to Fu Li's house to propose marriage, and in less than two months, Wei Yan will use eight sedan chairs to carry Fu Li back to Ding It's Weihou Mansion.
This had nothing to do with the Lin family. After all, the Lin family and the Dingwei Hou Mansion had no friendship at all except that they were colleagues who served under the fourth prince's command before he ascended the throne.But who let Fu Li be Brother Jin's mother?
If Fu Li married into Dingweihou's Mansion, the Lin family would not be so easy to recognize Brother Jin again.
What the Lin family is most afraid of is Fu Li's obstruction.
So Jia Min's condition was not good, so she hurried back to the capital with her daughter Daiyu.
After returning to Lin's house, Jia Min didn't even finish dressing up, so he sent someone to Fu Li's place to hand over a greeting card the next day.
Aunt Tian looked at Fu Li with worried eyes: "Miss Fu, do you want to see this Mrs. Lin?"
About Brother Jin's life experience, Aunt Tian and others knew much earlier than Brother Jin.So even though she didn't know the true identity of Mrs. Lin, just looking at this surname, Aunt Tian subconsciously thought of Brother Jin's biological father.
Fu Li smiled and nodded: "Of course I want to see you. Go get someone to call back, and just say that I'm free the day after tomorrow, and I'll invite Mrs. Lin to the Zuixiang Building in Beijing."
Aunt Tian turned around, paused, then looked back at Fu Li: "Miss Fu, do you really want to see Mrs. Lin?"
Fu Li met her concerned eyes and couldn't help laughing: "Then Mrs. Lin is not a scourge. I just met her once. Could it be that she can directly eat me when she sees me?"
Aunt Tian paused, and couldn't help asking: "This Mrs. Lin's husband, but the magistrate back then?"
This is not a secret worth hiding, so she simply nodded: "According to common sense, Brother Jin still calls Mrs. Lin a aunt."
"Then why did you..."
"Because of her existence, it doesn't matter to Brother Jin." Fu Li interrupted Aunt Tian with a smile, "Did you forget that today is different from the past, I am no longer the same person who didn't even want to open a noodle restaurant. Are there enough Yinti people to buy the store?"
"People don't fight with officials..."
"The emperor is standing behind me," Fu Li raised his eyebrows, "And, isn't Wei Yan an official?"
Aunt Tian was stunned, and a smile immediately filled her face: "I understand, I'll go and answer now."
Besides, on Jia Min's side, after she asked someone to send the greeting card to Fu Li's house, she was actually beating drums in her heart.
When the Bazhou capital left, Fu Li was just a helper who was kicked out of the Lin family because of a mistake and could only help in the noodle shop.But now, Fu Li not only has business all over Daxia, but she is also about to marry Dingwei Hou Weixuan who is powerful and powerful in Daxia, comparable to her father Jia Daishan.With such a huge difference in status, Jia Min was really uncertain about Fu Li's attitude.
She even felt that even if she handed the greeting card to Fu Li, it would be impossible for her to meet her.
But the truth is...
"Return to Madam, someone from the Fu family sent a message that the master's house will be free in the next day, and invite you to meet at Zuixiang Tower."
Jia Min froze, then frowned: "Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"
The servant's voice was firm: "This servant confirms that if the servant of the Fu family did not intentionally make a mistake, then this servant definitely did not make a mistake."
Jia Min raised his hand and let people go down.
What does that mean?Could it be that the Wei family was dissatisfied with her son, worried that the existence of that child would affect the status of Marquis Wei's original concubine, so they didn't want her to bring her son into the Wei family?And Fu Li couldn't wait to send that child back to the Lin family in order to marry into the Wei family?
But it's not right, if this is the case, Fu Li would have brought the child to the Lin family long ago, so why would he have been waiting for the Lin family to speak?
In order to raise the child's status?
That's not right, given the current situation of the Lin family, even if the child returned to the Lin family on his own initiative, the master will only take good care of him and will never treat him badly.Even if it was her, for her own daughter, she would only treat that child as her own, and would not let him be bullied in the slightest.
Fu Li's unexpected move made Jia Min think for a long time, but he couldn't figure it out.
"cough cough cough
Suddenly, Jia Min's throat itched and he coughed uncontrollably.
The maid beside her hurried forward to help her up, patted her on the back, and brought her warm tea.
Jia Min endured it for a while, and wanted to take the tea, but her chest felt oppressed, she slipped her hand, and dropped the teacup to the ground.There was another violent coughing sound in the room. Jia Min covered her mouth with the veil. After a while, her chest felt more comfortable. She took it away, and then found that the veil had been stained with blood.
The servant girl was anxious, and quickly said: "Madam, don't think too much, the doctor has said that your illness is caused by overthinking and stagnation in your heart, that's why you haven't recovered. You can take a rest, don't think about it anymore. It's gone."
Jia Min patted the servant girl's hand and shook her head: "Where can I rest?"
The youngest son of the Lin family had just died, if Fu Li's son could not be brought back to the Lin family, not only would the next generation of the Lin family not have a man to stand up for the family, but they might end up with no children and grandchildren, and the incense would not last.
She and the master already had a deep relationship, and she always felt guilty for not being able to spread the branches and leaves for the Lin family.But counting the time, Fu Li's son should have been conceived the night she made a mistake and gave the master medicine, but she didn't keep him at the Lin's house for observation after half a month and let the doctor feel the pulse, so she immediately took him He was kicked out of the Lin family, so that Fu Li's son was left outside, and now it is extremely difficult to bring him back to the Lin family.
And the fact that the Lin family ended up in this situation is because Jia Wang's family is too vicious, but at the root, it is also inextricably linked with her. She always thought that if she didn't marry into the Lin family, Jia Wang's family would definitely marry her. The thought of not taking action against the Lin family made her feel even more guilty...
Even if she didn't want to, what would her daughter do in the future?
Jia Min is very clear about her physical condition. The spices given to her by her shady second sister-in-law caused her to lose two children, damaged her vitality, and damaged her body.Later, she never got pregnant, and in order to have a child, she ate too many folk remedies, which caused irreparable damage to her body...
This serious illness came violently, but it was not sudden. It was just an outbreak of illness suppressed by youth and precious medicine in the early years. She had a premonition in her heart that she might not be able to survive this time.
The master's health is not much better than hers, and I don't know how long he can protect Daiyu from the wind and rain.
Her natal family was unreliable, so she could only find a way to find a brother for Daiyu, hoping to leave her with someone to rely on.As for the child not coming from his stomach?Wasn't the son who died early also born to his aunt?It's enough to add a brother to Daiyu, and she has no intention of disliking him for his low status.
At this moment, it was reported that Daiyu woke up from her afternoon nap and came to say hello.
Jia Min quickly restrained her sad face, and asked her daughter to be invited into the room.
As soon as Daiyu came in, she greeted Jia Min.Jia Min quickly stopped her movement, and pulled the person in front of her, so that she could look at her carefully.
A previous serious illness made Daiyu's already thin face look even clearer.When she looked up at herself, she frowned, she burst into tears, and panted slightly, which made people feel affectionate.
But Jia Min just felt uncomfortable: "Didn't I tell you before that you don't have to come over to say hello, and you can recuperate in your room?"
Daiyu looked at Jia Min worriedly, and said in a timid voice, "Madam, my daughter is worried about you."
Looking at the unshakable sadness between Daiyu's brows, what else can she say?I could only stretch out my hand to smooth Daiyu's brow, and then said softly: "The doctor said when he came to take my pulse, as long as I take good care of my illness, this disease will definitely get better. My health is much better than Yu'er, Yu'er It's best for my son to recuperate well, and don't make me worry."
Daiyu flung herself into Jia Min's arms embarrassingly, and laughed softly, "Daughter can save me, and I won't come to greet my wife in the evening."
The two of them had just suffered a serious illness, and the doctor had told them to go to bed early, and it was nothing like greeting her every night.
Jia Min poked Daiyu's head and smiled helplessly.
Early this morning, after Jia Min finished her breakfast, she hurriedly asked her to take out the clothes she had gone out to change into, and then took a few maidservants with her to go to see Fu Li.
Unexpectedly, at the door, Jia Min saw Daiyu guarding there early.
She was stunned for a moment, and hurried forward to pull him back: "Daiyu, why didn't you rest in your room, instead you ran out?"
Daiyu took a look at Jia Min, walked over and took her hand: "Daughter heard that my wife is going out today to meet my brother's mother who is living abroad. Yu'er wants to see my brother, so..."
Jia Min's eyes froze, and his eyes turned around on the maidservants around him. After confirming that the news was not leaked by his confidants, he sighed, looked at Daiyu and shook his head: "Today's past is just talking, let's talk about it. What will happen to the child after she returns to Lin's house, Fu... She probably won't let me see your brother. Even if you go there eagerly, you won't be able to see him. Be good, Yu'er, you stay at home today , when your brother returns to the Lin family in the future, you will have plenty of time to spend with him. Okay?"
Daiyu was a sensible little girl, she could only nod her head when she saw that her mother was in trouble.
Jia Min patted Daiyu's hand, and turned to look at the servant girl beside her: "The girl is weak, how can she go outside and blow the wind for so long? Hurry up and take the girl back to the room!"
The servant girl was startled, and quickly took Daiyu to her yard.
When she could no longer see her daughter at all, Jia Min got into the carriage supported by the servant girl.
Soon, she came to Zuixiang Tower.
In order to show his sincerity, Jia Min deliberately left the house half an hour earlier, and when he arrived at the Zuixiang Building, he was still several incense sticks away from the agreed time.
But when the staff of Zuixiang Building heard that her surname was Jia, they asked her again.
He asked her too much: "I wonder if this lady's husband's family name is Lin?"
Jia Min looked at him suspiciously and nodded, "My husband's family name is indeed Lin."
"The little one is right," the clerk said with a smile, "a lady came over and reserved a room on the second floor, saying that she wanted to invite Mrs. Lin to dinner, and asked the little one to wait at the door. I thought you would arrive in a while, but I didn't expect you to come so early."
Jia Min was startled: "Is the lady's surname Fu?"
The clerk nodded: "Exactly, that lady said, if you ask her identity, I will tell you directly, she is from Bazhou Prefecture, and her surname is Fu."
Jia Min suppressed his doubts, smiled and asked the assistant to lead the way.
Soon, she entered the room that Fu Li had booked.
But there was no one there.
She frowned, and couldn't help turning her head to look at the buddy: "Didn't you say that Mrs. Fu has already come to Zuixianglou?"
Seeing that Jia Min was angry, the clerk quickly explained: "Mrs. Fu has indeed come to Zuixianglou long ago, but she seems to know our shopkeeper. When the shopkeeper heard that Mrs. Fu came to the door, he went up to greet her, and then invited her to another shopkeeper. The room is going to reminisce about the old days. Please wait a moment, the little one will go and invite Mrs. Fu over immediately."
Jia Min nodded and sat on the chair next to him.
Besides, on Fu Li's side, after she agreed to meet Jia Min, she didn't plan to come here earlier.
If she was in too much of a hurry, Jia Min would inevitably look down upon her.After all, it is Jia Min who is begging Brother Jin to recognize his ancestors and return to his family, and it is not she who wants Brother Jin to return to the Lin family. Brother Jin has no idea about returning to the Lin family now.
It's just that yesterday afternoon, a member of the Bazhou Chamber of Commerce sent someone to send a message to her, saying that the shopkeeper of Zuixianglou wanted to see her.
When meeting the queen before, Fu Li knew that the Zuixiang Tower was actually the property of the emperor, so this time she thought that the shopkeeper who wanted to see her was either the queen, or he was given to Zuixiang in the Bazhou government. Boss You, who is the boss of Xianglou.
Unexpectedly, after the meeting, Fu Li found that the person who wanted to see her was not either of the two.
"Old Mr. Tang? How did you become the shopkeeper of Zuixianglou?" Fu Li looked curiously at the gloomy and rather villainous old man in front of him, "Aren't you in Jiangnan?"
Tang Ming raised his eyes and glanced at Fu Li, and said lightly: "You have a good relationship with Qian Da, don't you know that the old man came to the capital a few years ago?"
Fu Li chuckled: "You have a special status and your whereabouts are a mystery. Who can say for sure whether you really came to the capital?"
Tang Ming glanced at Fu Li and sneered: "Young people nowadays are amazing. I thought that Qian Da was already a good young talent, but I didn't expect Mrs. Fu to be more sophisticated than Qian Da, and her brain is also more sophisticated. more sober than him."
Fu Li frowned: "What do you mean? What happened to Qian Da?"
Tang Ming looked at Fu Li with that gloomy look for a long time, and when Fu Li became impatient, he said quietly: "Don't worry, he's fine. He was coaxed and fell so badly that he almost failed." climb up."
He smiled and said, "This man, it's better not to be too greedy."
Fu Li squinted his eyes, and suddenly raised his eyebrows and laughed: "It's not up to others to decide whether to be greedy or not. Who can have no desire? As long as he can hold it by himself, he is considered greedy." Now, what's bothering the others?"
The smile on Tang Ming's face sank: "I originally planned to tell Mrs. Fu about Qian Da's current situation so that you could persuade him, but looking at Mrs. Fu's attitude, it is obvious that she didn't intend to care about helping you a lot back then. How big is Qian? I don’t know if Qian Da will feel disappointed after knowing your attitude, and feel that I gave my heart and soul to help you, and I fed the dog with good intentions.”
Fu Li sneered: "At the beginning, I had a business with Qian Da with a clearly marked price, so I couldn't say whether I would help or not. Since Mr. Tang can say such a thing, I think the relationship with Qian Da is not very good. Otherwise, how could he let me You misunderstood the real relationship between us? Oh, look at my memory, I even forgot that before you left Jiangnan, you cheated Qian Da. Sent to hell, not to mention your current status, I am afraid that you will be busy, and even the credit you earned at the beginning will be taken away by you."
"Although the matter of seizing the heirloom is inherently dangerous, it's the first time I've heard of someone as careless as you." Fu Li smiled and looked at Tang Ming with a rather indifferent look, "You heard that With the existence of Chili Pepper, I deliberately ran back to Bazhou Mansion and pulled Qian Da into your thief boat, but didn't treat him well, and only used him as a bargaining chip that could be used, and threw it away before it was used up. Even my master never told Qian Da, is it a bad thing for you to do this?"
"Everyone misses their hometown. If you meet a fellow countryman when you are traveling, you will be sincere and will only help each other. Fortunately, you went back to your hometown to coax a second idiot out of it for a little profit. After getting the things, you turned your back Stabbing a knife and wanting to enjoy the credit alone, tell yourself, isn't it too inhuman for you to do so?"
Tang Ming didn't seem to have expected that Fu Li's mouth would be so sharp, and he never thought that Qian Da would tell Fu Li everything that happened back then, and couldn't find the right words to refute Fu Li's accusation.
After Fu Li finished speaking, he wanted to speak, so he looked at Tang Ming so coldly, and never spoke again.
It was rare for Tang Ming to feel a little bit of pressure in the silence.
After a while, Tang Ming suddenly laughed lightly, and then he said, "Qian Da told me before that if he was in trouble, he would just call you. I still didn't believe it, but now I believe it. You are indeed worthy of him." trust."
After saying that, Tang Ming looked out of the window with a sad look in his eyes.
Fu Li was stunned for a moment, and instead of meddling in Tang Ming's business, he asked Qian Da: "With Qian Da's temperament of vengeance, since you betrayed him back then, it's fine if he didn't retaliate against you, how could he return to you? Say something like that?"
Tang Ming looked at Fu Li, and suddenly smiled. There was no gloom in this smile, nor did he have the uncomfortable feeling like a tarsal maggot. Tang Ming's gloomy temperament made him look a little more kind. At first glance, he thought he was a kind-hearted little old man.
"Do you think that if I was really cruel and wanted to send Qian Da's life to fill a hole, with his innocence at the time, even if he was on guard, he could really avoid the old man's tricks?" Tang Ming picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea. , "This old man has been in business for decades, from starting from scratch to earning a big business, the difficulty and the various calculations he has experienced, let's just talk about the Bazhou Chamber of Commerce..."
"A unofficial organization that unites almost all the well-known organizations in Bazhou. Do you think the establishment of the Bazhou Chamber of Commerce is really that simple?"
Tang Ming only mentioned it once, but didn't go into details. Instead, he talked about Qian Da: "Qian Da found some things in the south of the Yangtze River. Originally, he would not expose them due to his prudence. But the emperor's ascension to the throne is too So quickly, not only the various forces on the capital side were caught off guard, but even the Jiangnan side was in a mess because of the news. The family Qian Da investigated was also thrown into disarray by the news of the emperor's ascension to the throne, especially After Jia's family was raided, he wanted to erase the evidence at all costs, but Qian Da was caught off guard for a while, exposed his identity, and was almost arrested by that family, and now he is hiding in Tibet and dare not show his face at all."
"Although I didn't kill Qian Da at the beginning, I cheated him, so Qian Da didn't lie to me after that. But because we both work for the present, and because of the task, I also I went to Jiangnan a few times and got in touch with it a few times. The relationship between the two has eased, and naturally it is not as tense as before."
"Seriously, I should be regarded as Qian Da's immediate boss." Tang Ming looked at Fu Li, "So it's not surprising that I have Qian Da's contact information, nor is it anything suspicious."
Fu Li didn't believe it, and looked at Tang Ming with raised eyebrows: "Mr. Tang, I'm just an ordinary citizen. Even if I have provided some help to the emperor and registered in front of the emperor, I am still an ordinary citizen. But you are different, You are the emperor's true confidant."
If Qian Da really found out something and was in danger because of it, shouldn't you report this matter to the emperor?Tell her what to do?She can't enter the palace to face the saint, let alone plant a pair of wings on herself, and then fly to the south of the Yangtze River to save people.
Tang Ming's eyes sank: "My immediate superior doesn't want to report this matter, and I am not qualified to meet the emperor and queen, so I can only look for you."
Fu Li was stunned, subconsciously wanting to refute Tang Ming's words
If the news that Qian Da found out is really that important, even threatening his own life, why is your immediate superior unwilling to report it?Isn't he afraid that the emperor will pursue him after he finds out, and then punish him for delaying the case?
But she soon realized that this flaw was so big, with Tang Ming's scheming, he would never be able to deceive her with such a quick-to-break thing.
Fu Li cheered up, and his expression became more serious: "What is the news, which is so important that it threatens the life of Qian Da who found out the truth, but makes Tang Ming's immediate boss unwilling to report it?"
Tang Ming squinted his eyes, walked to the door and listened for a while, then opened the window and looked around. After careful inspection, he answered Fu Li's question in a low voice: "It's about the only blood left by Prince Yizhong in this world."
Fu Li immediately slumped on the chair with a rather speechless expression: "Didn't you hear before that the adopted daughter Ying Shanlang adopted in the Yangsheng Tang is the only daughter left by Prince Yizhong? Qian Dayuan is in the south of the Yangtze River. How could it be possible?" Find information about that one? Besides, the identity of Miss Qin has already been exposed, even if Qian Da finds out more information about her, it is impossible to endanger his life."
She is really crazy to believe Tang Ming's words.
Fu Li glanced at Tang Ming, got up and was about to leave the room
She also made an appointment with Jia Min today because it was related to the future of her son Brother Jin, so she better not stay here and listen to Tang Ming's nonsense.
"If I said that before Qin Ye came to the Yangshengtang to adopt Prince Yizhong's daughter, the child would have been swapped!"
Fu Li suddenly turned his head and looked at Tang Ming in disbelief: "What did you say?"
Tang Ming grinned, eyes gloomy: "I said, the illegitimate daughter of Prince Yizhong who is being rumored all over the world is actually a fake. She is just a substitute for Prince Yizhong's real daughter, who was made by Prince Yizhong back then. How could Prince Yizhong know the Jia family so well, so how could he not know that if he told the Jia family his daughter's identity, he would use it as a bargaining chip to save lives or exchange for glory and wealth?"
Fu Li was stunned, and subconsciously thought of what Jia Zhen did to Qin Keqing, the daughter-in-law, in the original book...
She licked her dry lips and looked at Tang Ming: "What you said is true?"
Tang Ming sneered: "If what Qian Da investigated is true, then what I said must be true."
Fu Li looked at Tang Ming and was at a loss for a while.
She seemed to have been thinking for a long time, but the reality was only a moment passed.She took a deep breath and looked into Tang Ming's eyes: "What is the name of Prince Yizhong's real daughter now? Who raised her? What is her identity now?"
Seeing that Fu Li believed his words, Tang Ming was slightly relieved in his heart.
But on the surface, he did not show the slightest bit, and his attitude was still quite strong: "Qian Da didn't pass much information to me, only that the person who raised His Highness was from Gusu, and no one in the family was an official, but in the local It can be regarded as rich and rich, and can provide better living conditions for His Royal Highness. However, after he ascended the throne, the Jia family, who heard that Qin Keqing's identity was known, did not get any favors, and was directly ransacked. Qin Ye, who adopted Qin Keqing It seems that I didn't get any benefits from it, but instead received a lot of blame for the things I committed before..."
"So he sent that Highness directly to Panxiang Temple."
"However, I don't know what the inside story is." Tang Ming's attitude was cautious, "Qian Da only investigated the identity of His Royal Highness, but before he could investigate more, his whereabouts were discovered, so he had no choice but to run away. Moreover, the content of the letter is limited, and he has no way to tell me more detailed information."
With such limited information, it is naturally impossible to lock the other party's identity if it is another person.
But Fu Li has read the original work of Dream of the Red Chamber
, even if I can't remember many details clearly, but I can't remember clearly about Twelve Chai's life experience
If Fu Li remembered correctly, when Miaoyu, one of the twelve beauties, appeared on the stage, it seemed that she was from Gusu, and although she was a monk with hair, she also became a monk in Panxiang Temple.And because Miaoyu's life experience is mysterious, and many of the items she carries are even more valuable than the luxurious Rongguo Mansion, it's not that no one guesses that Miaoyu is the real illegitimate daughter of Prince Yizhong.
Fu Li was dumbfounded: "Why is Qian Da involved in this matter?"
Royal secrets, no matter what dynasty it is in, are very serious matters. How courageous is Qian Da, or does he think he has superpowers?How dare you get involved in such a big event, it's just a matter of life!
Tang Ming glanced at Fu Li and sighed: "He also discovered this secret by accident. If he had known that the royal family and Prince Yizhong would be involved, he would not have dared to touch it even if he had the guts to do so. He is indeed very courageous. According to the news he sent before, the family behaved suspiciously, and there were private soldiers in the house. As long as private soldiers are involved in anything, it is definitely not a trivial matter. I think it will be beneficial to investigate the secrets hidden by that family."
The corner of Fu Li's mouth twitched, Qian Da's temper was indeed...
She shook her head and saluted Tang Ming: "Thanks to the old gentleman for helping to spread the word this time, I will definitely find a way to tell the emperor about this, so that Qian Da's life will not be in danger."
Tang Ming heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately shook his head: "The relationship between me and Qian Da is not that good. I will do this this time because I feel guilty for cheating him at the beginning. Qian and Shi are settled. This is between me and Qian Da, so there is really no need for Madam Fu to thank me for this."
After finishing speaking, Tang Ming got up and prepared to leave the room, and then continued to be his shopkeeper of Zuixianglou.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the door, he saw a person standing outside the door.
Tang Ming's eyes were almost narrowed into a slit, and a smile that made people feel refreshed was put on his face in a second, but his eyes hidden under the eyelids wanted to swallow up the person in front of him. fierce light.
The guy didn't realize the danger, and he still smiled brightly: "Shopkeeper, Mrs. Lin who Mrs. Fu made an appointment with has arrived and is waiting in the room." After speaking, he looked at Fu Li behind Tang Ming, "Mrs. Fu, if you Hurry up after chatting with the shopkeeper? Mrs. Lin seems a little anxious."
Fu Li glanced at Tang Ming, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and then looked at the guy: "I see, I'll go right away."
"Oh, then I'll go down and help."
"Go down."
As soon as the voice fell, the guy ran across the corridor and left the second floor along the stairs.
"You think the chap heard us?"
"I hadn't heard his footsteps before."
Fu Li was stunned, thought for a while and then shook his head: "He is a fellow of Zuixianglou, you can figure it out for yourself. But it's best to interrogate him carefully and make sure there is really something wrong with him, and then do other things. "
Tang Ming turned his head to look at Fu Li, and sneered: "The kindness of a woman!"
After saying that, he also went downstairs along the route of that guy.
Fu Li shrugged and didn't mind his own business. Instead, he walked to the door of the room he had booked before, pushed the door open and entered.
"You're here." Jia Min heard the voice and got up immediately.
Fu Li smiled, walked up to Jia Min and sat down: "Mrs. Lin, you don't need to be polite, you can sit too."
Jia Min was stunned for a moment, and after regaining consciousness, she couldn't help but smile wryly: "It's been so many years since you've been gone, and you're so imposing that people dare not recognize you."
Fu Li was stunned, and then laughed: "Mrs. Lin's words are too exaggerated."
Jia Min shook his head: "You may not know it yourself, but I can see it clearly. When you were still in the Lin family, although you had a beautiful face, you couldn't show your temperament, although it is not like the other two families. The slaves who were born are generally timid, but they also have a petty air, which makes people feel uneasy. But now..."
She glanced at Fu Li and said with a wry smile, "If you had acted like this when we first met, I'm afraid I wouldn't have stayed in the Lin family."
With Fu Li's current words and deeds, if the two appear together, others may not be able to distinguish who is the wife and who is the concubine.
Before Jia Min came here today, she still had a bit of contempt for Fu Liyuan in her heart, but after only one meeting, she resolutely put away this contempt and became cautious towards her.
Fu Li smiled: "With my current wealth, I won't be forced to be a concubine just because of a few hundred taels of silver."
Jia Min was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled: "That's right, today is different."
The two of them spoke a few words, then they faced each other in silence, not knowing what else to say.
Although the two are sitting face to face now, their identities back then were really embarrassing, and they had no chance to get along with each other except to ask for peace, so naturally they didn't have many old stories to tell.
Jia Min was a little embarrassed. After thinking about it, she cut straight to the point: "I heard that you gave birth to a son within a year after you left the Lin family?"
Fu Li looked at Jia Min, and suddenly laughed: "Madam Lin wants to ask, is Brother Jin the child of Mrs. Lin?"
Jia Min froze instantly, never expecting Fu Li to be so straightforward.
After being stunned for a while, she turned her head to look at Fu Li and said, "That kid's name is Brother Jin?"
Fu Li raised his eyebrows and nodded briskly: "Yes, the nickname given by my adoptive father means a bright future. How about it? Does it sound nice?"
Jia Min nodded, with 12 points in her heart: "Do you have a big name?"
Fu Li chuckled: "Brother Jin follows my surname, and his first name is also simple. It is called Fu Wenjin. It was also taken by my adoptive father. Brother Jin was only two or three years old at the time. Not only did he grab the four treasures of the study, such as brushes, ink, paper and inkstones, when he was in the Zhou Dynasty, , and later revealed an amazing talent for reading. My adoptive father thought, why not call him Wen Jin, hoping that he could write splendid articles and rely on his articles to have a bright future."
"Madam Lin may not know that my adoptive father is no less talented than Master Lin. Brother Jin has studied with him since he was a child, but at the age of five or six, he has already learned more than many adults. Adoptive father It was said at the time that if Brother Jin is talented, even if he goes to take the imperial examination, he will be able to come back as a scholar."
"Later, he was lucky enough to be favored by a master, and he was able to study under his name. Before leaving Bazhou, the master said that although Brother Jin is only eight years old, he can already take part in the rural examination. If you're lucky, it's not impossible to be a young man in the exam."
"But Mu Xiuyu will be destroyed by Lin Feng, brother Jin is too young, we are going to suppress him, let him grow up later"
Jia Min was stunned, feeling absurdly ashamed for a while.
If the child was raised in Lin's family since he was a child, he could get such a good education, and then pass the exam at the age of eight?I'm afraid I can't?Although the master has learned a lot, he has to be on duty in the yamen almost every day. Where did he get so much time to teach the children?
But thinking of Daiyu, she regained her self-confidence in an instant: Although brother Jin is very good, her daughter is not bad at all.
Fu Li naturally saw the change in Jia Min's attitude, and laughed.
What's wrong?After all, his only son had just died, his wife was seriously ill, and his daughter was young. Under such circumstances, Lin Ruhai wanted to send his wife and daughter back to the capital to recuperate. No one could tell what was wrong.
But it is not so normal to contact Lin Ruhai for the tenure of the Huaiyang patrol salt censor.
In the original book, Lin Ruhai sat in the position of Xunyan Yushi for five or six years, and finally even died directly in this position. However, this does not mean that the tenure of Xunyan Yushi is five or six years.Except for Beijing officials, the general term of office of local officials is three years, and the position of patrolling salt censor is in charge of salt affairs, so it is a big deal, and the term of office is cut to only one year.
In the original book, it is actually very abnormal for Lin Ruhai to be a salt censor for five or six years.
Many red scholars speculate that this is probably because Lin Ruhai became the victim of the game between the top rulers of the two dynasties, the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor.
But in this world, because Mrs. Wang's drugging Jia Min was exposed in advance, the Lin family had long since broken up with the Jia family, and even directly voted under the command of the fourth prince. , There is no chance to seize power with Emperor Yonghe at all, so it is naturally impossible for Lin Ruhai to become a victim of the game between the two in power.
If there is no accident, Lin Ruhai will return to Beijing next year.
The term of office was only one year, and Lin Ruhai's family worked tirelessly to bring the bones of the youngest son back to Gusu for burial... Under such circumstances, even if Jia Min was seriously ill, shouldn't he stay with Lin Ruhai in Huaiyang to recuperate? After the one-year term ends, return to the capital together?
What made Jia Min rush back to the capital even though he was seriously ill?
Is it Brother Jin?Indeed.
But it's not entirely because of Brother Jin.
After all, Brother Jin is staying in the capital, so even if the Lin family wants him to recognize his ancestors, it stands to reason that there is no need to be in a hurry.
It was originally like this, but who made...
Fu Li is going to marry Wei Yan in two months?
Because of Fu Li's request, the two families tacitly shortened the time for the three letters and six rituals. The originally planned one-year walk was directly reduced by several months.Later, after Emperor Yonghe issued a decree to bestow the marriage, he specially assigned many courtiers from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to help. After the two families discussed, they simply shortened the time again to half a year.
It has been more than four months since Wei Yan invited a respected and respected ancestor to Fu Li's house to propose marriage, and in less than two months, Wei Yan will use eight sedan chairs to carry Fu Li back to Ding It's Weihou Mansion.
This had nothing to do with the Lin family. After all, the Lin family and the Dingwei Hou Mansion had no friendship at all except that they were colleagues who served under the fourth prince's command before he ascended the throne.But who let Fu Li be Brother Jin's mother?
If Fu Li married into Dingweihou's Mansion, the Lin family would not be so easy to recognize Brother Jin again.
What the Lin family is most afraid of is Fu Li's obstruction.
So Jia Min's condition was not good, so she hurried back to the capital with her daughter Daiyu.
After returning to Lin's house, Jia Min didn't even finish dressing up, so he sent someone to Fu Li's place to hand over a greeting card the next day.
Aunt Tian looked at Fu Li with worried eyes: "Miss Fu, do you want to see this Mrs. Lin?"
About Brother Jin's life experience, Aunt Tian and others knew much earlier than Brother Jin.So even though she didn't know the true identity of Mrs. Lin, just looking at this surname, Aunt Tian subconsciously thought of Brother Jin's biological father.
Fu Li smiled and nodded: "Of course I want to see you. Go get someone to call back, and just say that I'm free the day after tomorrow, and I'll invite Mrs. Lin to the Zuixiang Building in Beijing."
Aunt Tian turned around, paused, then looked back at Fu Li: "Miss Fu, do you really want to see Mrs. Lin?"
Fu Li met her concerned eyes and couldn't help laughing: "Then Mrs. Lin is not a scourge. I just met her once. Could it be that she can directly eat me when she sees me?"
Aunt Tian paused, and couldn't help asking: "This Mrs. Lin's husband, but the magistrate back then?"
This is not a secret worth hiding, so she simply nodded: "According to common sense, Brother Jin still calls Mrs. Lin a aunt."
"Then why did you..."
"Because of her existence, it doesn't matter to Brother Jin." Fu Li interrupted Aunt Tian with a smile, "Did you forget that today is different from the past, I am no longer the same person who didn't even want to open a noodle restaurant. Are there enough Yinti people to buy the store?"
"People don't fight with officials..."
"The emperor is standing behind me," Fu Li raised his eyebrows, "And, isn't Wei Yan an official?"
Aunt Tian was stunned, and a smile immediately filled her face: "I understand, I'll go and answer now."
Besides, on Jia Min's side, after she asked someone to send the greeting card to Fu Li's house, she was actually beating drums in her heart.
When the Bazhou capital left, Fu Li was just a helper who was kicked out of the Lin family because of a mistake and could only help in the noodle shop.But now, Fu Li not only has business all over Daxia, but she is also about to marry Dingwei Hou Weixuan who is powerful and powerful in Daxia, comparable to her father Jia Daishan.With such a huge difference in status, Jia Min was really uncertain about Fu Li's attitude.
She even felt that even if she handed the greeting card to Fu Li, it would be impossible for her to meet her.
But the truth is...
"Return to Madam, someone from the Fu family sent a message that the master's house will be free in the next day, and invite you to meet at Zuixiang Tower."
Jia Min froze, then frowned: "Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"
The servant's voice was firm: "This servant confirms that if the servant of the Fu family did not intentionally make a mistake, then this servant definitely did not make a mistake."
Jia Min raised his hand and let people go down.
What does that mean?Could it be that the Wei family was dissatisfied with her son, worried that the existence of that child would affect the status of Marquis Wei's original concubine, so they didn't want her to bring her son into the Wei family?And Fu Li couldn't wait to send that child back to the Lin family in order to marry into the Wei family?
But it's not right, if this is the case, Fu Li would have brought the child to the Lin family long ago, so why would he have been waiting for the Lin family to speak?
In order to raise the child's status?
That's not right, given the current situation of the Lin family, even if the child returned to the Lin family on his own initiative, the master will only take good care of him and will never treat him badly.Even if it was her, for her own daughter, she would only treat that child as her own, and would not let him be bullied in the slightest.
Fu Li's unexpected move made Jia Min think for a long time, but he couldn't figure it out.
"cough cough cough
Suddenly, Jia Min's throat itched and he coughed uncontrollably.
The maid beside her hurried forward to help her up, patted her on the back, and brought her warm tea.
Jia Min endured it for a while, and wanted to take the tea, but her chest felt oppressed, she slipped her hand, and dropped the teacup to the ground.There was another violent coughing sound in the room. Jia Min covered her mouth with the veil. After a while, her chest felt more comfortable. She took it away, and then found that the veil had been stained with blood.
The servant girl was anxious, and quickly said: "Madam, don't think too much, the doctor has said that your illness is caused by overthinking and stagnation in your heart, that's why you haven't recovered. You can take a rest, don't think about it anymore. It's gone."
Jia Min patted the servant girl's hand and shook her head: "Where can I rest?"
The youngest son of the Lin family had just died, if Fu Li's son could not be brought back to the Lin family, not only would the next generation of the Lin family not have a man to stand up for the family, but they might end up with no children and grandchildren, and the incense would not last.
She and the master already had a deep relationship, and she always felt guilty for not being able to spread the branches and leaves for the Lin family.But counting the time, Fu Li's son should have been conceived the night she made a mistake and gave the master medicine, but she didn't keep him at the Lin's house for observation after half a month and let the doctor feel the pulse, so she immediately took him He was kicked out of the Lin family, so that Fu Li's son was left outside, and now it is extremely difficult to bring him back to the Lin family.
And the fact that the Lin family ended up in this situation is because Jia Wang's family is too vicious, but at the root, it is also inextricably linked with her. She always thought that if she didn't marry into the Lin family, Jia Wang's family would definitely marry her. The thought of not taking action against the Lin family made her feel even more guilty...
Even if she didn't want to, what would her daughter do in the future?
Jia Min is very clear about her physical condition. The spices given to her by her shady second sister-in-law caused her to lose two children, damaged her vitality, and damaged her body.Later, she never got pregnant, and in order to have a child, she ate too many folk remedies, which caused irreparable damage to her body...
This serious illness came violently, but it was not sudden. It was just an outbreak of illness suppressed by youth and precious medicine in the early years. She had a premonition in her heart that she might not be able to survive this time.
The master's health is not much better than hers, and I don't know how long he can protect Daiyu from the wind and rain.
Her natal family was unreliable, so she could only find a way to find a brother for Daiyu, hoping to leave her with someone to rely on.As for the child not coming from his stomach?Wasn't the son who died early also born to his aunt?It's enough to add a brother to Daiyu, and she has no intention of disliking him for his low status.
At this moment, it was reported that Daiyu woke up from her afternoon nap and came to say hello.
Jia Min quickly restrained her sad face, and asked her daughter to be invited into the room.
As soon as Daiyu came in, she greeted Jia Min.Jia Min quickly stopped her movement, and pulled the person in front of her, so that she could look at her carefully.
A previous serious illness made Daiyu's already thin face look even clearer.When she looked up at herself, she frowned, she burst into tears, and panted slightly, which made people feel affectionate.
But Jia Min just felt uncomfortable: "Didn't I tell you before that you don't have to come over to say hello, and you can recuperate in your room?"
Daiyu looked at Jia Min worriedly, and said in a timid voice, "Madam, my daughter is worried about you."
Looking at the unshakable sadness between Daiyu's brows, what else can she say?I could only stretch out my hand to smooth Daiyu's brow, and then said softly: "The doctor said when he came to take my pulse, as long as I take good care of my illness, this disease will definitely get better. My health is much better than Yu'er, Yu'er It's best for my son to recuperate well, and don't make me worry."
Daiyu flung herself into Jia Min's arms embarrassingly, and laughed softly, "Daughter can save me, and I won't come to greet my wife in the evening."
The two of them had just suffered a serious illness, and the doctor had told them to go to bed early, and it was nothing like greeting her every night.
Jia Min poked Daiyu's head and smiled helplessly.
Early this morning, after Jia Min finished her breakfast, she hurriedly asked her to take out the clothes she had gone out to change into, and then took a few maidservants with her to go to see Fu Li.
Unexpectedly, at the door, Jia Min saw Daiyu guarding there early.
She was stunned for a moment, and hurried forward to pull him back: "Daiyu, why didn't you rest in your room, instead you ran out?"
Daiyu took a look at Jia Min, walked over and took her hand: "Daughter heard that my wife is going out today to meet my brother's mother who is living abroad. Yu'er wants to see my brother, so..."
Jia Min's eyes froze, and his eyes turned around on the maidservants around him. After confirming that the news was not leaked by his confidants, he sighed, looked at Daiyu and shook his head: "Today's past is just talking, let's talk about it. What will happen to the child after she returns to Lin's house, Fu... She probably won't let me see your brother. Even if you go there eagerly, you won't be able to see him. Be good, Yu'er, you stay at home today , when your brother returns to the Lin family in the future, you will have plenty of time to spend with him. Okay?"
Daiyu was a sensible little girl, she could only nod her head when she saw that her mother was in trouble.
Jia Min patted Daiyu's hand, and turned to look at the servant girl beside her: "The girl is weak, how can she go outside and blow the wind for so long? Hurry up and take the girl back to the room!"
The servant girl was startled, and quickly took Daiyu to her yard.
When she could no longer see her daughter at all, Jia Min got into the carriage supported by the servant girl.
Soon, she came to Zuixiang Tower.
In order to show his sincerity, Jia Min deliberately left the house half an hour earlier, and when he arrived at the Zuixiang Building, he was still several incense sticks away from the agreed time.
But when the staff of Zuixiang Building heard that her surname was Jia, they asked her again.
He asked her too much: "I wonder if this lady's husband's family name is Lin?"
Jia Min looked at him suspiciously and nodded, "My husband's family name is indeed Lin."
"The little one is right," the clerk said with a smile, "a lady came over and reserved a room on the second floor, saying that she wanted to invite Mrs. Lin to dinner, and asked the little one to wait at the door. I thought you would arrive in a while, but I didn't expect you to come so early."
Jia Min was startled: "Is the lady's surname Fu?"
The clerk nodded: "Exactly, that lady said, if you ask her identity, I will tell you directly, she is from Bazhou Prefecture, and her surname is Fu."
Jia Min suppressed his doubts, smiled and asked the assistant to lead the way.
Soon, she entered the room that Fu Li had booked.
But there was no one there.
She frowned, and couldn't help turning her head to look at the buddy: "Didn't you say that Mrs. Fu has already come to Zuixianglou?"
Seeing that Jia Min was angry, the clerk quickly explained: "Mrs. Fu has indeed come to Zuixianglou long ago, but she seems to know our shopkeeper. When the shopkeeper heard that Mrs. Fu came to the door, he went up to greet her, and then invited her to another shopkeeper. The room is going to reminisce about the old days. Please wait a moment, the little one will go and invite Mrs. Fu over immediately."
Jia Min nodded and sat on the chair next to him.
Besides, on Fu Li's side, after she agreed to meet Jia Min, she didn't plan to come here earlier.
If she was in too much of a hurry, Jia Min would inevitably look down upon her.After all, it is Jia Min who is begging Brother Jin to recognize his ancestors and return to his family, and it is not she who wants Brother Jin to return to the Lin family. Brother Jin has no idea about returning to the Lin family now.
It's just that yesterday afternoon, a member of the Bazhou Chamber of Commerce sent someone to send a message to her, saying that the shopkeeper of Zuixianglou wanted to see her.
When meeting the queen before, Fu Li knew that the Zuixiang Tower was actually the property of the emperor, so this time she thought that the shopkeeper who wanted to see her was either the queen, or he was given to Zuixiang in the Bazhou government. Boss You, who is the boss of Xianglou.
Unexpectedly, after the meeting, Fu Li found that the person who wanted to see her was not either of the two.
"Old Mr. Tang? How did you become the shopkeeper of Zuixianglou?" Fu Li looked curiously at the gloomy and rather villainous old man in front of him, "Aren't you in Jiangnan?"
Tang Ming raised his eyes and glanced at Fu Li, and said lightly: "You have a good relationship with Qian Da, don't you know that the old man came to the capital a few years ago?"
Fu Li chuckled: "You have a special status and your whereabouts are a mystery. Who can say for sure whether you really came to the capital?"
Tang Ming glanced at Fu Li and sneered: "Young people nowadays are amazing. I thought that Qian Da was already a good young talent, but I didn't expect Mrs. Fu to be more sophisticated than Qian Da, and her brain is also more sophisticated. more sober than him."
Fu Li frowned: "What do you mean? What happened to Qian Da?"
Tang Ming looked at Fu Li with that gloomy look for a long time, and when Fu Li became impatient, he said quietly: "Don't worry, he's fine. He was coaxed and fell so badly that he almost failed." climb up."
He smiled and said, "This man, it's better not to be too greedy."
Fu Li squinted his eyes, and suddenly raised his eyebrows and laughed: "It's not up to others to decide whether to be greedy or not. Who can have no desire? As long as he can hold it by himself, he is considered greedy." Now, what's bothering the others?"
The smile on Tang Ming's face sank: "I originally planned to tell Mrs. Fu about Qian Da's current situation so that you could persuade him, but looking at Mrs. Fu's attitude, it is obvious that she didn't intend to care about helping you a lot back then. How big is Qian? I don’t know if Qian Da will feel disappointed after knowing your attitude, and feel that I gave my heart and soul to help you, and I fed the dog with good intentions.”
Fu Li sneered: "At the beginning, I had a business with Qian Da with a clearly marked price, so I couldn't say whether I would help or not. Since Mr. Tang can say such a thing, I think the relationship with Qian Da is not very good. Otherwise, how could he let me You misunderstood the real relationship between us? Oh, look at my memory, I even forgot that before you left Jiangnan, you cheated Qian Da. Sent to hell, not to mention your current status, I am afraid that you will be busy, and even the credit you earned at the beginning will be taken away by you."
"Although the matter of seizing the heirloom is inherently dangerous, it's the first time I've heard of someone as careless as you." Fu Li smiled and looked at Tang Ming with a rather indifferent look, "You heard that With the existence of Chili Pepper, I deliberately ran back to Bazhou Mansion and pulled Qian Da into your thief boat, but didn't treat him well, and only used him as a bargaining chip that could be used, and threw it away before it was used up. Even my master never told Qian Da, is it a bad thing for you to do this?"
"Everyone misses their hometown. If you meet a fellow countryman when you are traveling, you will be sincere and will only help each other. Fortunately, you went back to your hometown to coax a second idiot out of it for a little profit. After getting the things, you turned your back Stabbing a knife and wanting to enjoy the credit alone, tell yourself, isn't it too inhuman for you to do so?"
Tang Ming didn't seem to have expected that Fu Li's mouth would be so sharp, and he never thought that Qian Da would tell Fu Li everything that happened back then, and couldn't find the right words to refute Fu Li's accusation.
After Fu Li finished speaking, he wanted to speak, so he looked at Tang Ming so coldly, and never spoke again.
It was rare for Tang Ming to feel a little bit of pressure in the silence.
After a while, Tang Ming suddenly laughed lightly, and then he said, "Qian Da told me before that if he was in trouble, he would just call you. I still didn't believe it, but now I believe it. You are indeed worthy of him." trust."
After saying that, Tang Ming looked out of the window with a sad look in his eyes.
Fu Li was stunned for a moment, and instead of meddling in Tang Ming's business, he asked Qian Da: "With Qian Da's temperament of vengeance, since you betrayed him back then, it's fine if he didn't retaliate against you, how could he return to you? Say something like that?"
Tang Ming looked at Fu Li, and suddenly smiled. There was no gloom in this smile, nor did he have the uncomfortable feeling like a tarsal maggot. Tang Ming's gloomy temperament made him look a little more kind. At first glance, he thought he was a kind-hearted little old man.
"Do you think that if I was really cruel and wanted to send Qian Da's life to fill a hole, with his innocence at the time, even if he was on guard, he could really avoid the old man's tricks?" Tang Ming picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea. , "This old man has been in business for decades, from starting from scratch to earning a big business, the difficulty and the various calculations he has experienced, let's just talk about the Bazhou Chamber of Commerce..."
"A unofficial organization that unites almost all the well-known organizations in Bazhou. Do you think the establishment of the Bazhou Chamber of Commerce is really that simple?"
Tang Ming only mentioned it once, but didn't go into details. Instead, he talked about Qian Da: "Qian Da found some things in the south of the Yangtze River. Originally, he would not expose them due to his prudence. But the emperor's ascension to the throne is too So quickly, not only the various forces on the capital side were caught off guard, but even the Jiangnan side was in a mess because of the news. The family Qian Da investigated was also thrown into disarray by the news of the emperor's ascension to the throne, especially After Jia's family was raided, he wanted to erase the evidence at all costs, but Qian Da was caught off guard for a while, exposed his identity, and was almost arrested by that family, and now he is hiding in Tibet and dare not show his face at all."
"Although I didn't kill Qian Da at the beginning, I cheated him, so Qian Da didn't lie to me after that. But because we both work for the present, and because of the task, I also I went to Jiangnan a few times and got in touch with it a few times. The relationship between the two has eased, and naturally it is not as tense as before."
"Seriously, I should be regarded as Qian Da's immediate boss." Tang Ming looked at Fu Li, "So it's not surprising that I have Qian Da's contact information, nor is it anything suspicious."
Fu Li didn't believe it, and looked at Tang Ming with raised eyebrows: "Mr. Tang, I'm just an ordinary citizen. Even if I have provided some help to the emperor and registered in front of the emperor, I am still an ordinary citizen. But you are different, You are the emperor's true confidant."
If Qian Da really found out something and was in danger because of it, shouldn't you report this matter to the emperor?Tell her what to do?She can't enter the palace to face the saint, let alone plant a pair of wings on herself, and then fly to the south of the Yangtze River to save people.
Tang Ming's eyes sank: "My immediate superior doesn't want to report this matter, and I am not qualified to meet the emperor and queen, so I can only look for you."
Fu Li was stunned, subconsciously wanting to refute Tang Ming's words
If the news that Qian Da found out is really that important, even threatening his own life, why is your immediate superior unwilling to report it?Isn't he afraid that the emperor will pursue him after he finds out, and then punish him for delaying the case?
But she soon realized that this flaw was so big, with Tang Ming's scheming, he would never be able to deceive her with such a quick-to-break thing.
Fu Li cheered up, and his expression became more serious: "What is the news, which is so important that it threatens the life of Qian Da who found out the truth, but makes Tang Ming's immediate boss unwilling to report it?"
Tang Ming squinted his eyes, walked to the door and listened for a while, then opened the window and looked around. After careful inspection, he answered Fu Li's question in a low voice: "It's about the only blood left by Prince Yizhong in this world."
Fu Li immediately slumped on the chair with a rather speechless expression: "Didn't you hear before that the adopted daughter Ying Shanlang adopted in the Yangsheng Tang is the only daughter left by Prince Yizhong? Qian Dayuan is in the south of the Yangtze River. How could it be possible?" Find information about that one? Besides, the identity of Miss Qin has already been exposed, even if Qian Da finds out more information about her, it is impossible to endanger his life."
She is really crazy to believe Tang Ming's words.
Fu Li glanced at Tang Ming, got up and was about to leave the room
She also made an appointment with Jia Min today because it was related to the future of her son Brother Jin, so she better not stay here and listen to Tang Ming's nonsense.
"If I said that before Qin Ye came to the Yangshengtang to adopt Prince Yizhong's daughter, the child would have been swapped!"
Fu Li suddenly turned his head and looked at Tang Ming in disbelief: "What did you say?"
Tang Ming grinned, eyes gloomy: "I said, the illegitimate daughter of Prince Yizhong who is being rumored all over the world is actually a fake. She is just a substitute for Prince Yizhong's real daughter, who was made by Prince Yizhong back then. How could Prince Yizhong know the Jia family so well, so how could he not know that if he told the Jia family his daughter's identity, he would use it as a bargaining chip to save lives or exchange for glory and wealth?"
Fu Li was stunned, and subconsciously thought of what Jia Zhen did to Qin Keqing, the daughter-in-law, in the original book...
She licked her dry lips and looked at Tang Ming: "What you said is true?"
Tang Ming sneered: "If what Qian Da investigated is true, then what I said must be true."
Fu Li looked at Tang Ming and was at a loss for a while.
She seemed to have been thinking for a long time, but the reality was only a moment passed.She took a deep breath and looked into Tang Ming's eyes: "What is the name of Prince Yizhong's real daughter now? Who raised her? What is her identity now?"
Seeing that Fu Li believed his words, Tang Ming was slightly relieved in his heart.
But on the surface, he did not show the slightest bit, and his attitude was still quite strong: "Qian Da didn't pass much information to me, only that the person who raised His Highness was from Gusu, and no one in the family was an official, but in the local It can be regarded as rich and rich, and can provide better living conditions for His Royal Highness. However, after he ascended the throne, the Jia family, who heard that Qin Keqing's identity was known, did not get any favors, and was directly ransacked. Qin Ye, who adopted Qin Keqing It seems that I didn't get any benefits from it, but instead received a lot of blame for the things I committed before..."
"So he sent that Highness directly to Panxiang Temple."
"However, I don't know what the inside story is." Tang Ming's attitude was cautious, "Qian Da only investigated the identity of His Royal Highness, but before he could investigate more, his whereabouts were discovered, so he had no choice but to run away. Moreover, the content of the letter is limited, and he has no way to tell me more detailed information."
With such limited information, it is naturally impossible to lock the other party's identity if it is another person.
But Fu Li has read the original work of Dream of the Red Chamber
, even if I can't remember many details clearly, but I can't remember clearly about Twelve Chai's life experience
If Fu Li remembered correctly, when Miaoyu, one of the twelve beauties, appeared on the stage, it seemed that she was from Gusu, and although she was a monk with hair, she also became a monk in Panxiang Temple.And because Miaoyu's life experience is mysterious, and many of the items she carries are even more valuable than the luxurious Rongguo Mansion, it's not that no one guesses that Miaoyu is the real illegitimate daughter of Prince Yizhong.
Fu Li was dumbfounded: "Why is Qian Da involved in this matter?"
Royal secrets, no matter what dynasty it is in, are very serious matters. How courageous is Qian Da, or does he think he has superpowers?How dare you get involved in such a big event, it's just a matter of life!
Tang Ming glanced at Fu Li and sighed: "He also discovered this secret by accident. If he had known that the royal family and Prince Yizhong would be involved, he would not have dared to touch it even if he had the guts to do so. He is indeed very courageous. According to the news he sent before, the family behaved suspiciously, and there were private soldiers in the house. As long as private soldiers are involved in anything, it is definitely not a trivial matter. I think it will be beneficial to investigate the secrets hidden by that family."
The corner of Fu Li's mouth twitched, Qian Da's temper was indeed...
She shook her head and saluted Tang Ming: "Thanks to the old gentleman for helping to spread the word this time, I will definitely find a way to tell the emperor about this, so that Qian Da's life will not be in danger."
Tang Ming heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately shook his head: "The relationship between me and Qian Da is not that good. I will do this this time because I feel guilty for cheating him at the beginning. Qian and Shi are settled. This is between me and Qian Da, so there is really no need for Madam Fu to thank me for this."
After finishing speaking, Tang Ming got up and prepared to leave the room, and then continued to be his shopkeeper of Zuixianglou.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the door, he saw a person standing outside the door.
Tang Ming's eyes were almost narrowed into a slit, and a smile that made people feel refreshed was put on his face in a second, but his eyes hidden under the eyelids wanted to swallow up the person in front of him. fierce light.
The guy didn't realize the danger, and he still smiled brightly: "Shopkeeper, Mrs. Lin who Mrs. Fu made an appointment with has arrived and is waiting in the room." After speaking, he looked at Fu Li behind Tang Ming, "Mrs. Fu, if you Hurry up after chatting with the shopkeeper? Mrs. Lin seems a little anxious."
Fu Li glanced at Tang Ming, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and then looked at the guy: "I see, I'll go right away."
"Oh, then I'll go down and help."
"Go down."
As soon as the voice fell, the guy ran across the corridor and left the second floor along the stairs.
"You think the chap heard us?"
"I hadn't heard his footsteps before."
Fu Li was stunned, thought for a while and then shook his head: "He is a fellow of Zuixianglou, you can figure it out for yourself. But it's best to interrogate him carefully and make sure there is really something wrong with him, and then do other things. "
Tang Ming turned his head to look at Fu Li, and sneered: "The kindness of a woman!"
After saying that, he also went downstairs along the route of that guy.
Fu Li shrugged and didn't mind his own business. Instead, he walked to the door of the room he had booked before, pushed the door open and entered.
"You're here." Jia Min heard the voice and got up immediately.
Fu Li smiled, walked up to Jia Min and sat down: "Mrs. Lin, you don't need to be polite, you can sit too."
Jia Min was stunned for a moment, and after regaining consciousness, she couldn't help but smile wryly: "It's been so many years since you've been gone, and you're so imposing that people dare not recognize you."
Fu Li was stunned, and then laughed: "Mrs. Lin's words are too exaggerated."
Jia Min shook his head: "You may not know it yourself, but I can see it clearly. When you were still in the Lin family, although you had a beautiful face, you couldn't show your temperament, although it is not like the other two families. The slaves who were born are generally timid, but they also have a petty air, which makes people feel uneasy. But now..."
She glanced at Fu Li and said with a wry smile, "If you had acted like this when we first met, I'm afraid I wouldn't have stayed in the Lin family."
With Fu Li's current words and deeds, if the two appear together, others may not be able to distinguish who is the wife and who is the concubine.
Before Jia Min came here today, she still had a bit of contempt for Fu Liyuan in her heart, but after only one meeting, she resolutely put away this contempt and became cautious towards her.
Fu Li smiled: "With my current wealth, I won't be forced to be a concubine just because of a few hundred taels of silver."
Jia Min was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled: "That's right, today is different."
The two of them spoke a few words, then they faced each other in silence, not knowing what else to say.
Although the two are sitting face to face now, their identities back then were really embarrassing, and they had no chance to get along with each other except to ask for peace, so naturally they didn't have many old stories to tell.
Jia Min was a little embarrassed. After thinking about it, she cut straight to the point: "I heard that you gave birth to a son within a year after you left the Lin family?"
Fu Li looked at Jia Min, and suddenly laughed: "Madam Lin wants to ask, is Brother Jin the child of Mrs. Lin?"
Jia Min froze instantly, never expecting Fu Li to be so straightforward.
After being stunned for a while, she turned her head to look at Fu Li and said, "That kid's name is Brother Jin?"
Fu Li raised his eyebrows and nodded briskly: "Yes, the nickname given by my adoptive father means a bright future. How about it? Does it sound nice?"
Jia Min nodded, with 12 points in her heart: "Do you have a big name?"
Fu Li chuckled: "Brother Jin follows my surname, and his first name is also simple. It is called Fu Wenjin. It was also taken by my adoptive father. Brother Jin was only two or three years old at the time. Not only did he grab the four treasures of the study, such as brushes, ink, paper and inkstones, when he was in the Zhou Dynasty, , and later revealed an amazing talent for reading. My adoptive father thought, why not call him Wen Jin, hoping that he could write splendid articles and rely on his articles to have a bright future."
"Madam Lin may not know that my adoptive father is no less talented than Master Lin. Brother Jin has studied with him since he was a child, but at the age of five or six, he has already learned more than many adults. Adoptive father It was said at the time that if Brother Jin is talented, even if he goes to take the imperial examination, he will be able to come back as a scholar."
"Later, he was lucky enough to be favored by a master, and he was able to study under his name. Before leaving Bazhou, the master said that although Brother Jin is only eight years old, he can already take part in the rural examination. If you're lucky, it's not impossible to be a young man in the exam."
"But Mu Xiuyu will be destroyed by Lin Feng, brother Jin is too young, we are going to suppress him, let him grow up later"
Jia Min was stunned, feeling absurdly ashamed for a while.
If the child was raised in Lin's family since he was a child, he could get such a good education, and then pass the exam at the age of eight?I'm afraid I can't?Although the master has learned a lot, he has to be on duty in the yamen almost every day. Where did he get so much time to teach the children?
But thinking of Daiyu, she regained her self-confidence in an instant: Although brother Jin is very good, her daughter is not bad at all.
Fu Li naturally saw the change in Jia Min's attitude, and laughed.
