"I can't be the master," Fu Li said with a calm face, "I won't agree with Brother Jin leaving me, but if he wants to recognize his ancestors, I won't stop him, anyway, it's just a name on the genealogy It's just, I don't care."
Fu Li didn't intend to say that at first. After all, although she likes the little girl Daiyu, because of Brother Jin, she has always kept her attitude away from the Lin family and didn't want to get involved.
However, just now when she was talking about Brother Jin's imperial examination, she suddenly thought of one thing: if Brother Jin wants to take part in the imperial examination, he must first return to his hometown.
The child's household registration has always followed the father.
If Brother Jin didn't plan to take the imperial examination, his domicile was in the capital, so his origin would naturally not affect him, and even who his father was would not have much influence on him.
But if Brother Jin wants to take the imperial examination, his background is very important.
According to the regulations of the imperial court, every candidate who takes part in the imperial examination must write down the names, household registrations and other information of his three generations of ancestors, that is, his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather.
The official name of this information is called "family certificate".
No matter which dynasty it was in, the imperial examination system, an examination system that could directly become an official, could not be without a threshold. Many people were doomed from birth to not be able to take the imperial examination in this life.In Daxia, the law clearly stipulates that all prostitutes, superiors, clerks, soldiers, criminal officials, etc. and their descendants are not allowed to participate in the imperial examination and then become officials.
If the descendants of these people want to participate in the imperial examination, they have to give up their original occupations, and after three generations of reproduction, they can truly get rid of the influence of their occupations and thus receive the same treatment as ordinary people.
The existence of the family certificate is to check your origin for qualification review.
The main content of the family certificate includes information such as my birthplace, character, age, birth date, and the names of my great-grandfather, grandfather, and father. If there is an official position, it must also be stated.At the same time, it is necessary to indicate the mother's surname, the status of the gift, whether the grandparents and parents are still alive, the name of the brother, and if there is an official position, it must also be written.
After marrying a wife, the wife's surname must also be written
When Fu Li heard the news, he almost immediately thought of the famous beauty case: Chen Shimei went to Beijing to win the first prize in the exam, but when the emperor asked about his wife, he concealed that he had a wife and children in his hometown. the fact that he was able to marry the princess.
Other dynasties don't know, but at least in Daxia, it is absolutely impossible for this kind of thing to happen.
No matter how scheming a person is, it is impossible for a person to have the fact that no one can know that he is married after he gets married, and then hide his wife's information every time he takes an exam, so as to forge the fact that he has never married a wife. Appearance?
This is only the content that needs to be stated when taking the imperial examination for the first time. After taking the college examination, the township examination and other examinations, the family certificate will also add the number of people who took the provincial court examination and the number of the township examination. name and other information.
Unless Brother Jin doesn't take the imperial examination, he will inevitably have a relationship with the Lin family.
Especially with Fu Li and Wei Yan's marriage being made public, her early life with the original owner has long been uncovered, and other people have long speculated about Jin Ge'er's identity, and it is even more impossible for Jin Ge'er to tear up with the Lin family.
Since no matter whether Brother Jin denies her ancestors or not, she will be involved with the Lin family in the future, so there is no need for her to guard against the Lin family like a scourge
She couldn't invent a biological father for Brother Jing.The time when she left the Lin family and the time when she was pregnant with Brother Jin was so close together that there was no possibility of another marriage. If she invented another biological father for Brother Jin, and his parents were not married, then Brother Jin would be an adulterer. The status of the adulterous son is lower than that of the bastard, and even looked down upon.
Just like what Fu Li and Jia Min said, it's just to record a name in the Lin family's genealogy, and it's not about taking Brother Jin away from her. What should she care about?
Fu Li didn't think what she said was a big deal, but she didn't expect that Jia Min was a little excited after hearing this.
Her face was still dignified and reserved, but her eyes were a little red: "What you said is true?"
Fu Li raised his eyebrows, he couldn't understand why Jia Min was so excited, he couldn't help but ask her: "I just won't stop Brother Jin from recognizing his ancestors, and I won't agree with you to bring Brother Jin back. The Lin family. And this matter depends on Brother Jin's own thoughts, I will not nod for him, let alone ask him to recognize Lin Ruhai as his father."
Jia Min smiled and nodded: "That's enough."
Fu Li looked at her suspiciously: "Are you sure?"
"I'm very sure," Jia Min smiled, "I don't know what the master thinks, but for me, as long as I let others know that my daughter also has brothers, it doesn't mean that people will be bullied, and there is no family to go back to." I'm quite satisfied."
After all, based on the relationship between her and Fu Li, even if Brother Jin returns to the Lin family, that child may not be deeply in love with Daiyu's brother and sister.
Jia Min felt relieved, and was willing to talk more: "And if Brother Jin is here, the huge family property of the Lin family will not be handed over to the court in vain." Worried that Fu Li would not understand, she explained, "If the Lin family is under There are no males in a generation. According to the regulations of the imperial court, 70.00% of the ancestral property of the Lin family must be returned to the clan. But when he followed the world, in order not to implicate the clan, the old ancestor divided the clan under the auspices of the patriarch before leaving. No one Unexpectedly, the descendants of the Lin family were few, and when they came to the master, he was the only one left."
"There are still a few families in the Tang family, but after several generations, they have already been born with the master, and there is really no friendship at all."
"Furthermore, the return of the ancestral property is only heard in the handed over clan, but never heard of handed over to the Tang clan."
"If the master leaves and the Lin family has no successors, then [-]% of the family property accumulated by the Lin family over the past few generations will be handed over to the imperial court, and the remaining [-]% will be taken to my husband's house as my daughter's dowry. "
Fu Li nodded. Out of curiosity, she had checked the information on this topic, so she knew a little about it.
Even if there is a daughter in the family, Jia Min can only hand over half of the family property to the court. It is normal for Jia Min to feel unwilling because of this.
but……
Fu Li was curious: "What if Brother Jin falls in love with the Lin family's property after he recognizes his ancestor and returns to his clan, and wants to snatch it, and even refuses to leave [-]% to your daughter, what should you do?"
Although she knew Brother Jin would not do this, but Jia Min had never even met Brother Jin, so where did she get her confidence?
Jia Min smiled wryly: "Could it be that my daughter can keep the [-]% of the family property if it is handed over to my daughter? If there is no reliance, [-]% of the Lin family's family property is a reminder to her. Children crossing the market with gold bricks are full of evil intentions." People who want to snatch it away. Even if Brother Jin is interested in the Lin family's property and doesn't want my daughter to use it, at least my daughter can keep the dowry I brought to the Lin family back then."
When Jia Min married Lin Ruhai, the Rongguo Mansion was at its most powerful. As the only legitimate daughter of the Rongguo Mansion's generation, the dowry she took away from the Rongguo Mansion was a real red dowry.
Even if there is no Lin family business, Jia Min's dowry is enough for her daughter to spend her life in luxury.
Jia Min looked at Fu Li, and suddenly smiled and said, "With your disdainful attitude towards the Lin family, your son's eyelids are not so shallow that he won't let go of my dowry after he got the Lin family's property, right? "
Fu Li was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Don't worry, Brother Jin has no interest in the Lin family's property."
Her eyes flickered, and she thought that the Lin family was a scholarly family, and there were many rare and unique books in the family, and Brother Jin might like those things more.But there's no need to take those books away, Brother Jin can be copied by someone and then taken away, right?
Jia Min suddenly became curious about Fu Li's business: "Is your business so good that you can't even look down on the family property accumulated by the Lin family for several generations? You must know that the ancestors of the Lin family fought with the emperor back then. Others are robbing gold, silver and jewelry, but the ancestors robbed a lot of rare books and antiques. Those people didn't know the value of these things at that time, but these things can't be summed up in the word "valuable" now. "
"Furthermore, although the ancestors were all about robbing antiques and books, they also robbed gold and silver. The Lin family's family property is much bigger than outsiders imagined."
Seeing that Fu Li was still unmoved, Jia Min didn't know what the reason was, and continued: "Because of the fact that the Lin family has been passed down for several generations, the status of each Lin family's mistress is quite high, and the dowry brought into the Lin family is also a fortune. Fei's assets..."
Fu Li looked at Jia Min, suddenly chuckled, and then simply leaned into her ear and whispered: "Do you know how much income my shops can bring me every month? A shop is at least 400 taels, and more is more It can reach several thousand taels, and I have opened at least four such shops in every county, and there are more than a dozen in the prefecture."
"In addition, in order to supply the food materials in these shops, I also bought a lot of fields, villages and hills in various places, and they can also bring me an amazing amount of income every month. The most important thing is that these income It is alive, it is continuous, as long as there are no accidents, it can even exist for a hundred years, hundreds of years, but what about the assets of the Lin family?"
"Even if my assets are not as good as the Lin family's now, what will happen in ten years? What will happen in 20 years? What will happen in 50 years?"
After finishing speaking, Fu Li sat back in his seat, picked up the teacup, and drank it slowly.
Jia Min was stunned: "You..."
You talked for a long time, but she couldn't say a complete sentence.
As the mistress of the Lin family, Jia Min is naturally good at managing accounts. After hearing Fu Li's words, she couldn't help but silently began to count in her heart. The huge number was stunned.
For a long while, she could only look at Fu Li with a wry smile: "Brother Jin has you as a mother, so there is really no need to covet the assets of the Lin family."
With such an understanding, Jia Min should have been happy.After all, if Brother Jin looked down on the Lin family's property, he would naturally not fight for it. At least half or even all of the Lin family's assets could be left to her daughter. But for some reason, facing Fu Liyun's indifferent attitude, Jia Min was not happy at all.
Probably, the things that I put on my heart and mind are not worth mentioning to others. Such a gap will inevitably make people disappointed and uncomfortable.
Fu Li raised his hand and knocked on the table, and said with a smile: "The most important thing has not been resolved yet? Brother Jin already knows his own life experience, but he has never said that he wants to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors. Even now, he You never even said that you want to see Lord Lin. You have told me so much, can you really guarantee that Brother Jin will return to the Lin family in the future?"
Jia Min was very confident at first. After all, in her opinion, Fu Li's child is connected by blood with the Lin family. As long as his mother, who has a deep relationship with him, doesn't mind and won't stop her, it will only be a matter of time before the Lin family recognizes him.
But looking at Fu Li, Jia Min was suddenly not so sure.
Seeing the look of hesitation, Fuli paused, and said abruptly: "If I didn't know that the queen would not lie to me, it would be really difficult for me to compare you with the Wei-Jin famous scholar that the queen said Min. You seem to be too carefree, but you are not free and easy at all."
Jia Min was stunned, and subconsciously thought of the relaxed, carefree, laughing, poetic, wine and camellia girlhood: "Everyone is subject to change."
After a pause, the corner of her mouth curled into a bitter arc, "Although I don't like my second sister-in-law very much, and I don't like her precious phoenix egg, but he is right in one sentence. This woman , before getting married
Shiny pearls, after getting married, become hideous dead fish-eye pearls. "
Fu Li rolled his eyes: "If you become a dead fish eyeball, don't drag others into the water. Anyway, I don't agree with that."
She is only in her early thirties this year, and it is the time when the flowers are blooming the most, so she is not a dead eyeball.
Looking at Fu Li's rosy cheeks, Jia Min couldn't help but raised her hand to touch her face. The two of them were obviously less than five years old, but when they sat together, she was more than 15 years older than Fu Li: "It's true. , you haven't turned into a dead fish eyeball yet."
After Jia Min left, Fu Li did not stay in Zuixianglou for long.
After Duke Zhou left, Fu Li paid more and more attention to those people who were in Bazhou Prefecture. She would help them whenever they encountered difficulties.What's more, Qian Da's life is in danger this time, if she doesn't help, Qian Da will really die.
It's just that the original fourth princess who had met her once had become a queen now, and she couldn't see her even if she wanted to.Yonghe Digui is the lord of a country, so naturally it is even more impossible for her to see her casually.
After hesitating, Fu Li wrote a letter, asking Mrs. Tian to send it to Dingweihou Mansion.
After all, this matter was related to the royal family. After returning home in the evening and seeing the letter, Wei Yan went to the palace almost non-stop to see the emperor.
Emperor Yonghe sat on the chair, frowning tightly: "Is Qin Keqing a fake?"
Wei Yan cupped his hands: "I don't know. But this matter is of great importance. Since the identity of Miss Qin in the palace is in doubt, I think it's better to investigate clearly. Your Majesty, before Miss Qin entered the palace, there was no time at all. Investigate her identity?"
Where is there no time to investigate her identity?It was simply that the Taihuang was so eager to think about it that he couldn't even wait for a few days to investigate, so he couldn't wait to take him into the palace to accompany him instead of Prince Yizhong who died tragically that year.
Emperor Yonghe recalled Qin Keqing's gorgeous face, and then recalled that the abolished prince's appearance was not particularly outstanding, frowned, nodded and said: "You are right, the Qin girl next to the father is probably not Prince Yizhong. Bloodline, since Gusu has found out the truth, hurry up and bring your troops..."
"Your Majesty," Wei Yan helplessly interrupted Emperor Yonghe, "my minister is going to get married next month."
If it might threaten the court's military affairs, he would naturally be willing to postpone the wedding and come back to get married after completing the tasks assigned by the emperor.But even though this matter involved royal blood, that Highness was just the illegitimate daughter of Prince Yizhong who committed suicide after failing to force the palace...
What's more, the emperor is not the only one available.
Although Emperor Yonghe was narrow-minded, he was not an unreasonable emperor after all. Hearing this, he nodded: "Then you go back first, and I will arrange other people to take over this matter as soon as possible."
I thought it would take at least two or three months to fully investigate this matter, but what no one expected was that Yalang Qianda, who used to be a fish in water in the market, would rely on himself without rescuers. With the experience of dealing with the three religions and nine streams, he stood out from the blockade of the family that raised the blood of Prince Yizhong, and boldly kidnapped Miaoyu and came straight to the capital.
Just a few days before Fu Li got married, Aunt Tian suddenly picked up a letter in the corner, and then found out about it and where Qian Da was hiding now.
Fu Li: "..." She never thought that Qian Da would be so capable.
After thinking about it, she hurriedly asked Aunt Tian to deliver the letter to Wei Yan.
According to the rules, the bride and groom cannot meet one month before the wedding.Even if Fu Li didn't care about this custom, he couldn't bear the nagging of Aunt Tian and others, so he could only stay at home obediently, waiting for Wei Yan to come to marry him.
Because this letter is very important, when Aunt Tian found out that Wei Yan was not at the mansion, but went out to prepare the things needed for marriage, she didn't even dare to hand it over to others. He waited at the door from day to night, and only when he saw Wei Yan, did he personally hand over the letter to him.
After reading the letter, Wei Yan: "..."
Forget it, what else can I do?He can only enter the palace again.
During this period of time, Wei Yan specially asked for leave, and he seldom wandered around in front of Emperor Yonghe. He naturally knew what Wei Yan was busy with during this period.Seeing him entering the palace now, I still feel a little strange: "You are not at home preparing to get married, what are you doing here?"
Wei Yan didn't say anything, and directly handed the letter to Emperor Yonghe.
After Emperor Yonghe saw it, he was not as speechless as Fu Li and Wei Yan, but rather happy, and he admired Qian Da's approach: "This Qian Da can rely on his own ability without help from anyone. Escaped from the hunt, and even brought back the daughter left by Prince Yizhong back to the capital, what a skill! I will remember him as a great contribution!"
Wei Yan had no choice but to say, "The matter of rewarding meritorious deeds is yet to come. Your Majesty, should you send troops to Qian Da's hiding place now, and bring him and that girl back to the palace to inquire about the situation."
Emperor Yonghe laughed: "What Aiqing said is that I ordered you to immediately lead troops to Qian Da's hiding place and bring him back to the palace."
Wei Yan took the order and quickly retreated.
Qian Da traveled all the way from Suzhou to the capital. In order not to let others find out his identity, he hid all the way, not even daring to stay in an inn.It was only after leaving Jiangnan that he dared to take Miaoyu to live in the inn, and the basic necessities of life were arranged according to the highest standards.
But even though Miaoyu has been wandering outside, those people dare not let her be wronged, and the food and clothing are the best standard they can supply.Having grown up to this age, except for the absence of her parents, Miaoyu's life is better than when Jia Min was in her boudoir.And what about money?Even if he didn't want to wrong this aunt, he was fleeing after all, so how much money could he bring with him?What's more, even if he brought enough money, he wouldn't dare to be extravagant and wasteful to attract other people's attention.
It was the best standard in Qian Da's mind, but it really made Miao Yu suffer a lot.
She is also a noble person, so she has a lot of dissatisfaction with Qian Da.But Miaoyu is not stupid, knowing that Qian Da owns her wealth and life, even if she holds grudges for Qian Da's actions, she dare not show the slightest bit.
But who is Qian Da?He has been in the market since he was a child, and he has seen all kinds of faces, so how could he not see her dissatisfaction?
However, Qian Da knew very well that although this girl Miaoyu was quite noble in real life, upon closer inspection, she was really nothing.After all, his father was Prince Yizhong who failed to force the palace, and his mother was just the daughter of an ordinary squire. Apart from a good-looking face, there was really nothing worthy of taboo for him.
As long as Miaoyu is not injured, after sending her back to the royal family, he will have nothing to do with this girl, and in her capacity, it is even more impossible for her to do anything to him.
So if you are dissatisfied, you will be dissatisfied, and Qian Da doesn't care at all.
He cares more about...
"Why hasn't Mrs. Fu sent someone here? The people in the capital are very blind. If someone finds us and strikes at this ancestor in advance, I will be finished." To snatch it away and bring it to the capital is to be greedy for the credit that can be obtained after accomplishing this, but I don't want to put my own life on it.
In order to avoid people's eyes and ears, and because the gold and silver on his body had already been spent, after Qian Da came to the capital, he took Miaoyu and hid it in a ruined temple.But this ruined temple is really remote, and there are few people around, if Qian Da himself doesn't make any noise, there will be a dead silence all around, which makes people feel panicky.
Just when Qian Da was waiting impatiently, he suddenly heard the sound of orderly footsteps coming towards him.
Qian Da was startled, and hurried to the door to look outside: "Wei Yan?"
Wei Yan, who was at the front of the line, heard someone calling his name, looked up following the voice, and immediately recognized Qian Da: "Qian Da, are you okay? Where's Your Highness?"
Qian Da hurriedly turned to let Wei Yan in: "Miao...His Highness is inside, neither injured nor sick, everything is fine."
Wei Yan nodded, and just after entering the door, he saw a girl sitting on a haystack.
The girl was only nine or ten years old, with a bun tied on her head casually. Although her expression was not very good-looking, her clothes were neat, her face was neat, and her eyes were clear and energetic.What surprised Wei Yan the most was the baby fat that hadn't faded from the girl's face.
Obviously, despite the limited conditions along the way, Qian Da did not let her be wronged.
Wei Yan turned his head and nodded at Qian Da: "The Emperor already knew about this matter, and he specially asked me to come here to pick His Highness back to the palace. Since His Highness was brought back to the capital by you, you should also enter the palace with him. Remember, no matter the emperor Whatever you ask, you must answer it without any deception."
Qian Dalian nodded repeatedly: "Master Wei, I know."
Soon, Wei Yan and his party brought Miaoyu and Qian Da into the palace.
After seeing Miaoyu, Emperor Yonghe blurted out: "She must be the second brother's daughter!"
Without him, this face is so similar to Prince Yizhong who died young, it was almost carved out of the same mold.It's just that one edge is sharper, and the arc of a detail is more rounded.
Obviously they have similar facial features, but they are not so outstanding when they are on the face of the abandoned prince, but they are quite eye-catching when they are on the face of the little girl.
Countless thoughts flashed through Emperor Yonghe's mind quickly, and he quickly pressed them down.
After he asked someone to take Miaoyu down, he looked at Qian Da who had been kneeling on the ground, motionless: "You are Qian Da?"
Qian Da nodded: "Return to Your Majesty, the grass-roots people are Qian Da."
Emperor Yonghe became interested: "Tell me about how you found out that the girl's identity was wrong?"
Qian Da felt a little flustered, and couldn't help turning his head to look at Wei Yan.
But Wei Yan lowered his head at this time, watching his nose, mouth and heart, without any peripheral vision falling on him.
Qian Da swallowed, and after careful consideration, he said, "Back to the emperor, Cao Min was originally ordered to go to Gusu to investigate the remnants of the Eighth Prince, but unexpectedly discovered that there were private soldiers hidden in the Song family's mansion. Cao Min panicked at that time." , Immediately realized that something was wrong with the Song family, so he quickly found a way to sneak into the Song family, intending to find out their purpose of raising private soldiers."
Private soldiers?
Emperor Yonghe narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression much solemn.
Qian Da didn't know, and continued: "Unexpectedly, after entering the mansion, the grass people discovered that although those private soldiers were indeed raised by the Song family, their real masters were not the Song family, but Prince Yizhong. At that time, the grass people felt that It's strange, because Prince Yizhong has already... It doesn't make sense that these private soldiers don't want to leave quickly when the master is gone, but still gather together."
"Caomin realized that these private soldiers were not the point, so they did not act rashly after getting the evidence, but chose to lie dormant."
"For half a year before the grassroots entered the Song family, except for those private soldiers, there was nothing wrong with the basic necessities of life of the entire Song family. Not only did they speak and behave as usual, but even those private soldiers stayed in the Song family all the time. , using his identity as a servant to cover up, and he didn't do anything out of the ordinary."
"However, half a year later, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the entire Song family was dispatched, and the whole family got into a carriage and went to Panxiang Temple." At this point, Qian and Dao took a careful look at Emperor Yonghe, worried that he would mind.
After all, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival that Prince Yizhong forced the palace.
Emperor Yonghe waved his hand: "Continue."
Only then did Qian Da heave a sigh of relief, and continued: "Caomin waited for more than half a year, and originally planned to give up, thinking that it would be enough to spread the news of the Song family raising private soldiers. After discovering that something was wrong with the Song family , Cao Min immediately regained his spirits and realized that this is the best opportunity. So he tried to sneak into the team of servants again, and also entered Panxiang Temple."
"It was also in the Panxiang Temple that the grass people knew that the Song family's early years
Sanfang, who both died due to accidents, still has a daughter alive.It's just because he was sick since he was a child, and it was useless to buy a lot of substitutes, so the other two households of the Song family were sent to Panxiang Temple to practice. "
"It's not surprising at first. Although the grassroots came from a lowly background, they also had contact with many officials and rich people. It is actually quite common for this kind of thing to raise a substitute for their own sick and disaster-stricken children. After it worked, I personally entered the Buddhist sect, but Caomin only thought it was a dispute over the interests of the Song family and the third family, and didn't think of anything else."
"But after seeing that girl, Cao Min realized that there was something else wrong with this matter."
"Oh?" Emperor Yonghe looked at Qian Da, "What's wrong?"
Emperor Yonghe had an ordinary attitude, while Qian Da was relaxed, and couldn't help showing some of his true nature.He smiled slyly: "Caomin managed to follow the boss of the Song family, and then saw the girl from the third room. But different from the miserable loneliness in Caomin's imagination, the girl was dressed unusually, lived The utensils placed around the nunnery are far more luxurious than those of the Song family, and many things are even impossible to get because of the financial status of the Song family."
"What surprised Caomin the most was the Song family's attitude towards that girl. It was so respectful. It didn't look like they were treating a lonely and helpless junior. Instead, they treated them like noble people. They were unfamiliar and humble. And those who originally treated her The private soldiers of the Song family, who were lukewarm, became respectful after seeing that girl."
Things are so abnormal, even a fool should realize that something is wrong.
"Caomin realized that this girl was the secret that the Song family was trying to hide, so after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Caomin left the Song family and sneaked into the Panxiang Temple. After staying in the temple for a few days, Caomin learned of that girl. The Taoist name of this girl after she got married is Miaoyu. I also know that Miaoyu has a master who is very good at performing congenital numbers."
Emperor Yonghe frowned: "Extremely fine to perform innate divine numbers?"
Qian Da was taken aback by Emperor Yonghe, and then nodded quickly: "That master is indeed quite capable."
"How to say?"
"After the Caomin sneaked into Panxiang Temple for a few days, they managed to enter the master's meditation room. Unexpectedly, just after entering the door, the master who originally said that he was going to travel far came back to the room, and even broke the identity of the Caomin."
Emperor Yonghe was dubious about these gods and ghosts, and couldn't help guessing: "Perhaps the Song family already knew about your existence, and someone told Miaoyu's master."
"However, the master told Caomin about Miss Miaoyu's identity, and after finding out the evidence, Caomin originally didn't plan to take Miss Miaoyu and escape back to Beijing just in case. It was the master who sent her away. In the hands of Caomin, and said, and said..."
"say what?"
"And said that if Ms. Miaoyu is not brought back to the capital this time, even if the imperial court brings soldiers to arrest people, it will be impossible to find Ms. Miaoyu. And after Ms. Miaoyu is taken away by those people, it is very likely that something will happen. Something bad."
In fact, what the master said was that if Miaoyu is not taken away, Miaoyu will be taken away in the future, and then she will die at a young age.
But don't tell Emperor Yonghe this.
He had just met his flesh-and-blood relative, even if he had no feelings for that niece, he might not be willing to hear him "curse" the other party.
"And the jade pendant that can prove Miss Miaoyu's identity, as well as other evidences, were only able to be stolen by the grassroots in such a short period of time because the master helped the shaman to calculate the exact location."
After hearing this, Wei Yan thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, there should indeed be miraculous things in this world, but it's just that people with real abilities don't easily reveal themselves to others. Before when I was on business in the south of the Yangtze River, I heard that Several things like this happened."
Different from the stranger Qian Da, Emperor Yonghe obviously knew Wei Yan quite well, and naturally he also knew that he was not the kind of person who would aimlessly.
Hearing this, he immediately turned his attention to Wei Yan: "Ai Qing, tell me about those things."
Wei Yan nodded: "The first incident also happened in the boundary of Gusu. There is a squire named Zhen in Gusu. His surname is Zhen and his name is Fei, and his character is Shiyin. , so he never participated in the imperial examination, but because of his charitable nature, he was quite famous in the local area, so he was promoted as a famous family. Zhen Shiyin lived a good life in the first half of his life. The only regret is that he has no children, only one daughter But he doesn't seem to think it's a big deal, he still respects his wife very much, never takes concubines, and also loves his only daughter very much."
"However, a few years ago, a monk and a lame Taoist priest came to Zhen's house and said some specious things to Zhen Shiyin. From what others said, it seemed that his daughter was a disaster. It will bring disasters to the family, and there will be accidents during the Lantern Festival. So I want to make her only daughter a monk."
"Zhen Shiyin didn't believe it, so he drove the monk away together. Who knew that during the Lantern Festival, his only daughter was indeed abducted and sold because of his servant's dereliction of duty. Not long after that, a fire broke out in the calabash temple near Zhen's house, causing Then burn the Zhen family down."
Emperor Yonghe narrowed his eyes, his expression became more serious: "Is there any more?"
"The second case we heard about happened in the Xue family of the four major families in Jinling."
"The Xue family?" If Emperor Yonghe was shocked when he heard about Zhen Shiyin's family before, but he didn't take it to heart. Not a good idea.
Wei Yan didn't seem to notice that Emperor Yonghe was unusual, and continued: "Xue Renting, the head of the Xue family, has a son and a daughter. The son is so stubborn that he can't be raised. It's nothing unusual. His daughter is a bit strange. It is said that she was born with a fever. For this disease, a lot of doctors were hired and a lot of money was spent, but there was no effect. Later, a bald monk gave her a Haishang, and gave her a pack of medicine powder as an introduction, and she was fine after taking a pill. "
"Such miraculous?" Emperor Yonghe rolled his eyes, not knowing what he thought of, and the expression on his face made people feel terrified.
Wei Yan was also a little apprehensive at this time, but the relationship between the two was unusual, so he could still maintain his composure: "The Xue family didn't seem to intend to hide the specific prescription above the sea, and they seemed to regard it as something to boast about. You can talk about it casually to others. Wei Chen thought it was strange at the time, so he made a point of getting someone to write it down."
"Do you still remember what medicinal materials were written in that prescription?"
"12 taels of white peony stamens in spring, 12 taels of white lotus stamens in summer, 12 taels of white hibiscus stamens in autumn, 12 taels of white plum blossoms in winter..."
Wei Yan said a lot, and Emperor Yonghe listened very seriously, but after listening, he frowned: "That's all? Is this prescription a trick released by the Xue family, the real prescription is still hidden by them ?”
Wei Yan shook his head: "Wei Chen asked someone to steal a grain from the eldest daughter of the Xue family, and then handed it over to the imperial physician for analysis. There are indeed these things in it. But thinking about the rain, the seasons, etc., the imperial physician does not know how to check it. .Besides, the bald-headed monk gave the eldest daughter of the Xue family a pack of powdered medicine back then, and the minister also asked someone to steal some, but the imperial physician couldn't find out what the ingredients were at all."
Emperor Yonghe's whole body was condensed, as if he had thought of something bad.
After a long time, he raised his hand to signal Wei Yan to continue.
Wei Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and sighed: "The strangest thing about it is that this prescription sounds like a toss-up, even the royal family can't match these things easily, but after the bald monk left, I don't know what it is. Whether it’s because of the beauty of the heavens, or because of other reasons, the Xue family managed to arrange everything within a year or two.”
"The name of the medicine?"
"The Xue family said it was called Lengxiang Wan. After eating it, the girl from the Xue family still had a lingering fragrance." Wei Yan thought for a while, and said, "And it seems that the bald monk gave it back to the Xue family. The girl had two auspicious words, so she must carve them on the gold utensils. Those two words are called "never leave, never leave, and the youth will last forever", which was chiseled on a golden lock by the Xue family, and let the eldest girl of the Xue family wear it every day. "
After hearing this, Emperor Yonghe's expression returned to normal, but when he heard the "knock knock" sound of his hand on the table, he knew that he was definitely not in a calm mood.
"Any other examples?"
Wei Yan opened his mouth, hesitating whether to say or not.
Of course he still knew about a case, but the other party's identity was a bit special, so he couldn't open it.
Emperor Yonghe saw his hesitation
Fu Li didn't intend to say that at first. After all, although she likes the little girl Daiyu, because of Brother Jin, she has always kept her attitude away from the Lin family and didn't want to get involved.
However, just now when she was talking about Brother Jin's imperial examination, she suddenly thought of one thing: if Brother Jin wants to take part in the imperial examination, he must first return to his hometown.
The child's household registration has always followed the father.
If Brother Jin didn't plan to take the imperial examination, his domicile was in the capital, so his origin would naturally not affect him, and even who his father was would not have much influence on him.
But if Brother Jin wants to take the imperial examination, his background is very important.
According to the regulations of the imperial court, every candidate who takes part in the imperial examination must write down the names, household registrations and other information of his three generations of ancestors, that is, his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather.
The official name of this information is called "family certificate".
No matter which dynasty it was in, the imperial examination system, an examination system that could directly become an official, could not be without a threshold. Many people were doomed from birth to not be able to take the imperial examination in this life.In Daxia, the law clearly stipulates that all prostitutes, superiors, clerks, soldiers, criminal officials, etc. and their descendants are not allowed to participate in the imperial examination and then become officials.
If the descendants of these people want to participate in the imperial examination, they have to give up their original occupations, and after three generations of reproduction, they can truly get rid of the influence of their occupations and thus receive the same treatment as ordinary people.
The existence of the family certificate is to check your origin for qualification review.
The main content of the family certificate includes information such as my birthplace, character, age, birth date, and the names of my great-grandfather, grandfather, and father. If there is an official position, it must also be stated.At the same time, it is necessary to indicate the mother's surname, the status of the gift, whether the grandparents and parents are still alive, the name of the brother, and if there is an official position, it must also be written.
After marrying a wife, the wife's surname must also be written
When Fu Li heard the news, he almost immediately thought of the famous beauty case: Chen Shimei went to Beijing to win the first prize in the exam, but when the emperor asked about his wife, he concealed that he had a wife and children in his hometown. the fact that he was able to marry the princess.
Other dynasties don't know, but at least in Daxia, it is absolutely impossible for this kind of thing to happen.
No matter how scheming a person is, it is impossible for a person to have the fact that no one can know that he is married after he gets married, and then hide his wife's information every time he takes an exam, so as to forge the fact that he has never married a wife. Appearance?
This is only the content that needs to be stated when taking the imperial examination for the first time. After taking the college examination, the township examination and other examinations, the family certificate will also add the number of people who took the provincial court examination and the number of the township examination. name and other information.
Unless Brother Jin doesn't take the imperial examination, he will inevitably have a relationship with the Lin family.
Especially with Fu Li and Wei Yan's marriage being made public, her early life with the original owner has long been uncovered, and other people have long speculated about Jin Ge'er's identity, and it is even more impossible for Jin Ge'er to tear up with the Lin family.
Since no matter whether Brother Jin denies her ancestors or not, she will be involved with the Lin family in the future, so there is no need for her to guard against the Lin family like a scourge
She couldn't invent a biological father for Brother Jing.The time when she left the Lin family and the time when she was pregnant with Brother Jin was so close together that there was no possibility of another marriage. If she invented another biological father for Brother Jin, and his parents were not married, then Brother Jin would be an adulterer. The status of the adulterous son is lower than that of the bastard, and even looked down upon.
Just like what Fu Li and Jia Min said, it's just to record a name in the Lin family's genealogy, and it's not about taking Brother Jin away from her. What should she care about?
Fu Li didn't think what she said was a big deal, but she didn't expect that Jia Min was a little excited after hearing this.
Her face was still dignified and reserved, but her eyes were a little red: "What you said is true?"
Fu Li raised his eyebrows, he couldn't understand why Jia Min was so excited, he couldn't help but ask her: "I just won't stop Brother Jin from recognizing his ancestors, and I won't agree with you to bring Brother Jin back. The Lin family. And this matter depends on Brother Jin's own thoughts, I will not nod for him, let alone ask him to recognize Lin Ruhai as his father."
Jia Min smiled and nodded: "That's enough."
Fu Li looked at her suspiciously: "Are you sure?"
"I'm very sure," Jia Min smiled, "I don't know what the master thinks, but for me, as long as I let others know that my daughter also has brothers, it doesn't mean that people will be bullied, and there is no family to go back to." I'm quite satisfied."
After all, based on the relationship between her and Fu Li, even if Brother Jin returns to the Lin family, that child may not be deeply in love with Daiyu's brother and sister.
Jia Min felt relieved, and was willing to talk more: "And if Brother Jin is here, the huge family property of the Lin family will not be handed over to the court in vain." Worried that Fu Li would not understand, she explained, "If the Lin family is under There are no males in a generation. According to the regulations of the imperial court, 70.00% of the ancestral property of the Lin family must be returned to the clan. But when he followed the world, in order not to implicate the clan, the old ancestor divided the clan under the auspices of the patriarch before leaving. No one Unexpectedly, the descendants of the Lin family were few, and when they came to the master, he was the only one left."
"There are still a few families in the Tang family, but after several generations, they have already been born with the master, and there is really no friendship at all."
"Furthermore, the return of the ancestral property is only heard in the handed over clan, but never heard of handed over to the Tang clan."
"If the master leaves and the Lin family has no successors, then [-]% of the family property accumulated by the Lin family over the past few generations will be handed over to the imperial court, and the remaining [-]% will be taken to my husband's house as my daughter's dowry. "
Fu Li nodded. Out of curiosity, she had checked the information on this topic, so she knew a little about it.
Even if there is a daughter in the family, Jia Min can only hand over half of the family property to the court. It is normal for Jia Min to feel unwilling because of this.
but……
Fu Li was curious: "What if Brother Jin falls in love with the Lin family's property after he recognizes his ancestor and returns to his clan, and wants to snatch it, and even refuses to leave [-]% to your daughter, what should you do?"
Although she knew Brother Jin would not do this, but Jia Min had never even met Brother Jin, so where did she get her confidence?
Jia Min smiled wryly: "Could it be that my daughter can keep the [-]% of the family property if it is handed over to my daughter? If there is no reliance, [-]% of the Lin family's family property is a reminder to her. Children crossing the market with gold bricks are full of evil intentions." People who want to snatch it away. Even if Brother Jin is interested in the Lin family's property and doesn't want my daughter to use it, at least my daughter can keep the dowry I brought to the Lin family back then."
When Jia Min married Lin Ruhai, the Rongguo Mansion was at its most powerful. As the only legitimate daughter of the Rongguo Mansion's generation, the dowry she took away from the Rongguo Mansion was a real red dowry.
Even if there is no Lin family business, Jia Min's dowry is enough for her daughter to spend her life in luxury.
Jia Min looked at Fu Li, and suddenly smiled and said, "With your disdainful attitude towards the Lin family, your son's eyelids are not so shallow that he won't let go of my dowry after he got the Lin family's property, right? "
Fu Li was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Don't worry, Brother Jin has no interest in the Lin family's property."
Her eyes flickered, and she thought that the Lin family was a scholarly family, and there were many rare and unique books in the family, and Brother Jin might like those things more.But there's no need to take those books away, Brother Jin can be copied by someone and then taken away, right?
Jia Min suddenly became curious about Fu Li's business: "Is your business so good that you can't even look down on the family property accumulated by the Lin family for several generations? You must know that the ancestors of the Lin family fought with the emperor back then. Others are robbing gold, silver and jewelry, but the ancestors robbed a lot of rare books and antiques. Those people didn't know the value of these things at that time, but these things can't be summed up in the word "valuable" now. "
"Furthermore, although the ancestors were all about robbing antiques and books, they also robbed gold and silver. The Lin family's family property is much bigger than outsiders imagined."
Seeing that Fu Li was still unmoved, Jia Min didn't know what the reason was, and continued: "Because of the fact that the Lin family has been passed down for several generations, the status of each Lin family's mistress is quite high, and the dowry brought into the Lin family is also a fortune. Fei's assets..."
Fu Li looked at Jia Min, suddenly chuckled, and then simply leaned into her ear and whispered: "Do you know how much income my shops can bring me every month? A shop is at least 400 taels, and more is more It can reach several thousand taels, and I have opened at least four such shops in every county, and there are more than a dozen in the prefecture."
"In addition, in order to supply the food materials in these shops, I also bought a lot of fields, villages and hills in various places, and they can also bring me an amazing amount of income every month. The most important thing is that these income It is alive, it is continuous, as long as there are no accidents, it can even exist for a hundred years, hundreds of years, but what about the assets of the Lin family?"
"Even if my assets are not as good as the Lin family's now, what will happen in ten years? What will happen in 20 years? What will happen in 50 years?"
After finishing speaking, Fu Li sat back in his seat, picked up the teacup, and drank it slowly.
Jia Min was stunned: "You..."
You talked for a long time, but she couldn't say a complete sentence.
As the mistress of the Lin family, Jia Min is naturally good at managing accounts. After hearing Fu Li's words, she couldn't help but silently began to count in her heart. The huge number was stunned.
For a long while, she could only look at Fu Li with a wry smile: "Brother Jin has you as a mother, so there is really no need to covet the assets of the Lin family."
With such an understanding, Jia Min should have been happy.After all, if Brother Jin looked down on the Lin family's property, he would naturally not fight for it. At least half or even all of the Lin family's assets could be left to her daughter. But for some reason, facing Fu Liyun's indifferent attitude, Jia Min was not happy at all.
Probably, the things that I put on my heart and mind are not worth mentioning to others. Such a gap will inevitably make people disappointed and uncomfortable.
Fu Li raised his hand and knocked on the table, and said with a smile: "The most important thing has not been resolved yet? Brother Jin already knows his own life experience, but he has never said that he wants to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors. Even now, he You never even said that you want to see Lord Lin. You have told me so much, can you really guarantee that Brother Jin will return to the Lin family in the future?"
Jia Min was very confident at first. After all, in her opinion, Fu Li's child is connected by blood with the Lin family. As long as his mother, who has a deep relationship with him, doesn't mind and won't stop her, it will only be a matter of time before the Lin family recognizes him.
But looking at Fu Li, Jia Min was suddenly not so sure.
Seeing the look of hesitation, Fuli paused, and said abruptly: "If I didn't know that the queen would not lie to me, it would be really difficult for me to compare you with the Wei-Jin famous scholar that the queen said Min. You seem to be too carefree, but you are not free and easy at all."
Jia Min was stunned, and subconsciously thought of the relaxed, carefree, laughing, poetic, wine and camellia girlhood: "Everyone is subject to change."
After a pause, the corner of her mouth curled into a bitter arc, "Although I don't like my second sister-in-law very much, and I don't like her precious phoenix egg, but he is right in one sentence. This woman , before getting married
Shiny pearls, after getting married, become hideous dead fish-eye pearls. "
Fu Li rolled his eyes: "If you become a dead fish eyeball, don't drag others into the water. Anyway, I don't agree with that."
She is only in her early thirties this year, and it is the time when the flowers are blooming the most, so she is not a dead eyeball.
Looking at Fu Li's rosy cheeks, Jia Min couldn't help but raised her hand to touch her face. The two of them were obviously less than five years old, but when they sat together, she was more than 15 years older than Fu Li: "It's true. , you haven't turned into a dead fish eyeball yet."
After Jia Min left, Fu Li did not stay in Zuixianglou for long.
After Duke Zhou left, Fu Li paid more and more attention to those people who were in Bazhou Prefecture. She would help them whenever they encountered difficulties.What's more, Qian Da's life is in danger this time, if she doesn't help, Qian Da will really die.
It's just that the original fourth princess who had met her once had become a queen now, and she couldn't see her even if she wanted to.Yonghe Digui is the lord of a country, so naturally it is even more impossible for her to see her casually.
After hesitating, Fu Li wrote a letter, asking Mrs. Tian to send it to Dingweihou Mansion.
After all, this matter was related to the royal family. After returning home in the evening and seeing the letter, Wei Yan went to the palace almost non-stop to see the emperor.
Emperor Yonghe sat on the chair, frowning tightly: "Is Qin Keqing a fake?"
Wei Yan cupped his hands: "I don't know. But this matter is of great importance. Since the identity of Miss Qin in the palace is in doubt, I think it's better to investigate clearly. Your Majesty, before Miss Qin entered the palace, there was no time at all. Investigate her identity?"
Where is there no time to investigate her identity?It was simply that the Taihuang was so eager to think about it that he couldn't even wait for a few days to investigate, so he couldn't wait to take him into the palace to accompany him instead of Prince Yizhong who died tragically that year.
Emperor Yonghe recalled Qin Keqing's gorgeous face, and then recalled that the abolished prince's appearance was not particularly outstanding, frowned, nodded and said: "You are right, the Qin girl next to the father is probably not Prince Yizhong. Bloodline, since Gusu has found out the truth, hurry up and bring your troops..."
"Your Majesty," Wei Yan helplessly interrupted Emperor Yonghe, "my minister is going to get married next month."
If it might threaten the court's military affairs, he would naturally be willing to postpone the wedding and come back to get married after completing the tasks assigned by the emperor.But even though this matter involved royal blood, that Highness was just the illegitimate daughter of Prince Yizhong who committed suicide after failing to force the palace...
What's more, the emperor is not the only one available.
Although Emperor Yonghe was narrow-minded, he was not an unreasonable emperor after all. Hearing this, he nodded: "Then you go back first, and I will arrange other people to take over this matter as soon as possible."
I thought it would take at least two or three months to fully investigate this matter, but what no one expected was that Yalang Qianda, who used to be a fish in water in the market, would rely on himself without rescuers. With the experience of dealing with the three religions and nine streams, he stood out from the blockade of the family that raised the blood of Prince Yizhong, and boldly kidnapped Miaoyu and came straight to the capital.
Just a few days before Fu Li got married, Aunt Tian suddenly picked up a letter in the corner, and then found out about it and where Qian Da was hiding now.
Fu Li: "..." She never thought that Qian Da would be so capable.
After thinking about it, she hurriedly asked Aunt Tian to deliver the letter to Wei Yan.
According to the rules, the bride and groom cannot meet one month before the wedding.Even if Fu Li didn't care about this custom, he couldn't bear the nagging of Aunt Tian and others, so he could only stay at home obediently, waiting for Wei Yan to come to marry him.
Because this letter is very important, when Aunt Tian found out that Wei Yan was not at the mansion, but went out to prepare the things needed for marriage, she didn't even dare to hand it over to others. He waited at the door from day to night, and only when he saw Wei Yan, did he personally hand over the letter to him.
After reading the letter, Wei Yan: "..."
Forget it, what else can I do?He can only enter the palace again.
During this period of time, Wei Yan specially asked for leave, and he seldom wandered around in front of Emperor Yonghe. He naturally knew what Wei Yan was busy with during this period.Seeing him entering the palace now, I still feel a little strange: "You are not at home preparing to get married, what are you doing here?"
Wei Yan didn't say anything, and directly handed the letter to Emperor Yonghe.
After Emperor Yonghe saw it, he was not as speechless as Fu Li and Wei Yan, but rather happy, and he admired Qian Da's approach: "This Qian Da can rely on his own ability without help from anyone. Escaped from the hunt, and even brought back the daughter left by Prince Yizhong back to the capital, what a skill! I will remember him as a great contribution!"
Wei Yan had no choice but to say, "The matter of rewarding meritorious deeds is yet to come. Your Majesty, should you send troops to Qian Da's hiding place now, and bring him and that girl back to the palace to inquire about the situation."
Emperor Yonghe laughed: "What Aiqing said is that I ordered you to immediately lead troops to Qian Da's hiding place and bring him back to the palace."
Wei Yan took the order and quickly retreated.
Qian Da traveled all the way from Suzhou to the capital. In order not to let others find out his identity, he hid all the way, not even daring to stay in an inn.It was only after leaving Jiangnan that he dared to take Miaoyu to live in the inn, and the basic necessities of life were arranged according to the highest standards.
But even though Miaoyu has been wandering outside, those people dare not let her be wronged, and the food and clothing are the best standard they can supply.Having grown up to this age, except for the absence of her parents, Miaoyu's life is better than when Jia Min was in her boudoir.And what about money?Even if he didn't want to wrong this aunt, he was fleeing after all, so how much money could he bring with him?What's more, even if he brought enough money, he wouldn't dare to be extravagant and wasteful to attract other people's attention.
It was the best standard in Qian Da's mind, but it really made Miao Yu suffer a lot.
She is also a noble person, so she has a lot of dissatisfaction with Qian Da.But Miaoyu is not stupid, knowing that Qian Da owns her wealth and life, even if she holds grudges for Qian Da's actions, she dare not show the slightest bit.
But who is Qian Da?He has been in the market since he was a child, and he has seen all kinds of faces, so how could he not see her dissatisfaction?
However, Qian Da knew very well that although this girl Miaoyu was quite noble in real life, upon closer inspection, she was really nothing.After all, his father was Prince Yizhong who failed to force the palace, and his mother was just the daughter of an ordinary squire. Apart from a good-looking face, there was really nothing worthy of taboo for him.
As long as Miaoyu is not injured, after sending her back to the royal family, he will have nothing to do with this girl, and in her capacity, it is even more impossible for her to do anything to him.
So if you are dissatisfied, you will be dissatisfied, and Qian Da doesn't care at all.
He cares more about...
"Why hasn't Mrs. Fu sent someone here? The people in the capital are very blind. If someone finds us and strikes at this ancestor in advance, I will be finished." To snatch it away and bring it to the capital is to be greedy for the credit that can be obtained after accomplishing this, but I don't want to put my own life on it.
In order to avoid people's eyes and ears, and because the gold and silver on his body had already been spent, after Qian Da came to the capital, he took Miaoyu and hid it in a ruined temple.But this ruined temple is really remote, and there are few people around, if Qian Da himself doesn't make any noise, there will be a dead silence all around, which makes people feel panicky.
Just when Qian Da was waiting impatiently, he suddenly heard the sound of orderly footsteps coming towards him.
Qian Da was startled, and hurried to the door to look outside: "Wei Yan?"
Wei Yan, who was at the front of the line, heard someone calling his name, looked up following the voice, and immediately recognized Qian Da: "Qian Da, are you okay? Where's Your Highness?"
Qian Da hurriedly turned to let Wei Yan in: "Miao...His Highness is inside, neither injured nor sick, everything is fine."
Wei Yan nodded, and just after entering the door, he saw a girl sitting on a haystack.
The girl was only nine or ten years old, with a bun tied on her head casually. Although her expression was not very good-looking, her clothes were neat, her face was neat, and her eyes were clear and energetic.What surprised Wei Yan the most was the baby fat that hadn't faded from the girl's face.
Obviously, despite the limited conditions along the way, Qian Da did not let her be wronged.
Wei Yan turned his head and nodded at Qian Da: "The Emperor already knew about this matter, and he specially asked me to come here to pick His Highness back to the palace. Since His Highness was brought back to the capital by you, you should also enter the palace with him. Remember, no matter the emperor Whatever you ask, you must answer it without any deception."
Qian Dalian nodded repeatedly: "Master Wei, I know."
Soon, Wei Yan and his party brought Miaoyu and Qian Da into the palace.
After seeing Miaoyu, Emperor Yonghe blurted out: "She must be the second brother's daughter!"
Without him, this face is so similar to Prince Yizhong who died young, it was almost carved out of the same mold.It's just that one edge is sharper, and the arc of a detail is more rounded.
Obviously they have similar facial features, but they are not so outstanding when they are on the face of the abandoned prince, but they are quite eye-catching when they are on the face of the little girl.
Countless thoughts flashed through Emperor Yonghe's mind quickly, and he quickly pressed them down.
After he asked someone to take Miaoyu down, he looked at Qian Da who had been kneeling on the ground, motionless: "You are Qian Da?"
Qian Da nodded: "Return to Your Majesty, the grass-roots people are Qian Da."
Emperor Yonghe became interested: "Tell me about how you found out that the girl's identity was wrong?"
Qian Da felt a little flustered, and couldn't help turning his head to look at Wei Yan.
But Wei Yan lowered his head at this time, watching his nose, mouth and heart, without any peripheral vision falling on him.
Qian Da swallowed, and after careful consideration, he said, "Back to the emperor, Cao Min was originally ordered to go to Gusu to investigate the remnants of the Eighth Prince, but unexpectedly discovered that there were private soldiers hidden in the Song family's mansion. Cao Min panicked at that time." , Immediately realized that something was wrong with the Song family, so he quickly found a way to sneak into the Song family, intending to find out their purpose of raising private soldiers."
Private soldiers?
Emperor Yonghe narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression much solemn.
Qian Da didn't know, and continued: "Unexpectedly, after entering the mansion, the grass people discovered that although those private soldiers were indeed raised by the Song family, their real masters were not the Song family, but Prince Yizhong. At that time, the grass people felt that It's strange, because Prince Yizhong has already... It doesn't make sense that these private soldiers don't want to leave quickly when the master is gone, but still gather together."
"Caomin realized that these private soldiers were not the point, so they did not act rashly after getting the evidence, but chose to lie dormant."
"For half a year before the grassroots entered the Song family, except for those private soldiers, there was nothing wrong with the basic necessities of life of the entire Song family. Not only did they speak and behave as usual, but even those private soldiers stayed in the Song family all the time. , using his identity as a servant to cover up, and he didn't do anything out of the ordinary."
"However, half a year later, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the entire Song family was dispatched, and the whole family got into a carriage and went to Panxiang Temple." At this point, Qian and Dao took a careful look at Emperor Yonghe, worried that he would mind.
After all, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival that Prince Yizhong forced the palace.
Emperor Yonghe waved his hand: "Continue."
Only then did Qian Da heave a sigh of relief, and continued: "Caomin waited for more than half a year, and originally planned to give up, thinking that it would be enough to spread the news of the Song family raising private soldiers. After discovering that something was wrong with the Song family , Cao Min immediately regained his spirits and realized that this is the best opportunity. So he tried to sneak into the team of servants again, and also entered Panxiang Temple."
"It was also in the Panxiang Temple that the grass people knew that the Song family's early years
Sanfang, who both died due to accidents, still has a daughter alive.It's just because he was sick since he was a child, and it was useless to buy a lot of substitutes, so the other two households of the Song family were sent to Panxiang Temple to practice. "
"It's not surprising at first. Although the grassroots came from a lowly background, they also had contact with many officials and rich people. It is actually quite common for this kind of thing to raise a substitute for their own sick and disaster-stricken children. After it worked, I personally entered the Buddhist sect, but Caomin only thought it was a dispute over the interests of the Song family and the third family, and didn't think of anything else."
"But after seeing that girl, Cao Min realized that there was something else wrong with this matter."
"Oh?" Emperor Yonghe looked at Qian Da, "What's wrong?"
Emperor Yonghe had an ordinary attitude, while Qian Da was relaxed, and couldn't help showing some of his true nature.He smiled slyly: "Caomin managed to follow the boss of the Song family, and then saw the girl from the third room. But different from the miserable loneliness in Caomin's imagination, the girl was dressed unusually, lived The utensils placed around the nunnery are far more luxurious than those of the Song family, and many things are even impossible to get because of the financial status of the Song family."
"What surprised Caomin the most was the Song family's attitude towards that girl. It was so respectful. It didn't look like they were treating a lonely and helpless junior. Instead, they treated them like noble people. They were unfamiliar and humble. And those who originally treated her The private soldiers of the Song family, who were lukewarm, became respectful after seeing that girl."
Things are so abnormal, even a fool should realize that something is wrong.
"Caomin realized that this girl was the secret that the Song family was trying to hide, so after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Caomin left the Song family and sneaked into the Panxiang Temple. After staying in the temple for a few days, Caomin learned of that girl. The Taoist name of this girl after she got married is Miaoyu. I also know that Miaoyu has a master who is very good at performing congenital numbers."
Emperor Yonghe frowned: "Extremely fine to perform innate divine numbers?"
Qian Da was taken aback by Emperor Yonghe, and then nodded quickly: "That master is indeed quite capable."
"How to say?"
"After the Caomin sneaked into Panxiang Temple for a few days, they managed to enter the master's meditation room. Unexpectedly, just after entering the door, the master who originally said that he was going to travel far came back to the room, and even broke the identity of the Caomin."
Emperor Yonghe was dubious about these gods and ghosts, and couldn't help guessing: "Perhaps the Song family already knew about your existence, and someone told Miaoyu's master."
"However, the master told Caomin about Miss Miaoyu's identity, and after finding out the evidence, Caomin originally didn't plan to take Miss Miaoyu and escape back to Beijing just in case. It was the master who sent her away. In the hands of Caomin, and said, and said..."
"say what?"
"And said that if Ms. Miaoyu is not brought back to the capital this time, even if the imperial court brings soldiers to arrest people, it will be impossible to find Ms. Miaoyu. And after Ms. Miaoyu is taken away by those people, it is very likely that something will happen. Something bad."
In fact, what the master said was that if Miaoyu is not taken away, Miaoyu will be taken away in the future, and then she will die at a young age.
But don't tell Emperor Yonghe this.
He had just met his flesh-and-blood relative, even if he had no feelings for that niece, he might not be willing to hear him "curse" the other party.
"And the jade pendant that can prove Miss Miaoyu's identity, as well as other evidences, were only able to be stolen by the grassroots in such a short period of time because the master helped the shaman to calculate the exact location."
After hearing this, Wei Yan thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, there should indeed be miraculous things in this world, but it's just that people with real abilities don't easily reveal themselves to others. Before when I was on business in the south of the Yangtze River, I heard that Several things like this happened."
Different from the stranger Qian Da, Emperor Yonghe obviously knew Wei Yan quite well, and naturally he also knew that he was not the kind of person who would aimlessly.
Hearing this, he immediately turned his attention to Wei Yan: "Ai Qing, tell me about those things."
Wei Yan nodded: "The first incident also happened in the boundary of Gusu. There is a squire named Zhen in Gusu. His surname is Zhen and his name is Fei, and his character is Shiyin. , so he never participated in the imperial examination, but because of his charitable nature, he was quite famous in the local area, so he was promoted as a famous family. Zhen Shiyin lived a good life in the first half of his life. The only regret is that he has no children, only one daughter But he doesn't seem to think it's a big deal, he still respects his wife very much, never takes concubines, and also loves his only daughter very much."
"However, a few years ago, a monk and a lame Taoist priest came to Zhen's house and said some specious things to Zhen Shiyin. From what others said, it seemed that his daughter was a disaster. It will bring disasters to the family, and there will be accidents during the Lantern Festival. So I want to make her only daughter a monk."
"Zhen Shiyin didn't believe it, so he drove the monk away together. Who knew that during the Lantern Festival, his only daughter was indeed abducted and sold because of his servant's dereliction of duty. Not long after that, a fire broke out in the calabash temple near Zhen's house, causing Then burn the Zhen family down."
Emperor Yonghe narrowed his eyes, his expression became more serious: "Is there any more?"
"The second case we heard about happened in the Xue family of the four major families in Jinling."
"The Xue family?" If Emperor Yonghe was shocked when he heard about Zhen Shiyin's family before, but he didn't take it to heart. Not a good idea.
Wei Yan didn't seem to notice that Emperor Yonghe was unusual, and continued: "Xue Renting, the head of the Xue family, has a son and a daughter. The son is so stubborn that he can't be raised. It's nothing unusual. His daughter is a bit strange. It is said that she was born with a fever. For this disease, a lot of doctors were hired and a lot of money was spent, but there was no effect. Later, a bald monk gave her a Haishang, and gave her a pack of medicine powder as an introduction, and she was fine after taking a pill. "
"Such miraculous?" Emperor Yonghe rolled his eyes, not knowing what he thought of, and the expression on his face made people feel terrified.
Wei Yan was also a little apprehensive at this time, but the relationship between the two was unusual, so he could still maintain his composure: "The Xue family didn't seem to intend to hide the specific prescription above the sea, and they seemed to regard it as something to boast about. You can talk about it casually to others. Wei Chen thought it was strange at the time, so he made a point of getting someone to write it down."
"Do you still remember what medicinal materials were written in that prescription?"
"12 taels of white peony stamens in spring, 12 taels of white lotus stamens in summer, 12 taels of white hibiscus stamens in autumn, 12 taels of white plum blossoms in winter..."
Wei Yan said a lot, and Emperor Yonghe listened very seriously, but after listening, he frowned: "That's all? Is this prescription a trick released by the Xue family, the real prescription is still hidden by them ?”
Wei Yan shook his head: "Wei Chen asked someone to steal a grain from the eldest daughter of the Xue family, and then handed it over to the imperial physician for analysis. There are indeed these things in it. But thinking about the rain, the seasons, etc., the imperial physician does not know how to check it. .Besides, the bald-headed monk gave the eldest daughter of the Xue family a pack of powdered medicine back then, and the minister also asked someone to steal some, but the imperial physician couldn't find out what the ingredients were at all."
Emperor Yonghe's whole body was condensed, as if he had thought of something bad.
After a long time, he raised his hand to signal Wei Yan to continue.
Wei Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and sighed: "The strangest thing about it is that this prescription sounds like a toss-up, even the royal family can't match these things easily, but after the bald monk left, I don't know what it is. Whether it’s because of the beauty of the heavens, or because of other reasons, the Xue family managed to arrange everything within a year or two.”
"The name of the medicine?"
"The Xue family said it was called Lengxiang Wan. After eating it, the girl from the Xue family still had a lingering fragrance." Wei Yan thought for a while, and said, "And it seems that the bald monk gave it back to the Xue family. The girl had two auspicious words, so she must carve them on the gold utensils. Those two words are called "never leave, never leave, and the youth will last forever", which was chiseled on a golden lock by the Xue family, and let the eldest girl of the Xue family wear it every day. "
After hearing this, Emperor Yonghe's expression returned to normal, but when he heard the "knock knock" sound of his hand on the table, he knew that he was definitely not in a calm mood.
"Any other examples?"
Wei Yan opened his mouth, hesitating whether to say or not.
Of course he still knew about a case, but the other party's identity was a bit special, so he couldn't open it.
Emperor Yonghe saw his hesitation
