In the thirty-second year of Jiajing, the year of Guichou, the fifteenth day of the first month.

Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture, Daming.

Although it is located in the south of the Yangtze River, the cold wind is howling, and the pedestrians on the road are scattered, and only a few children in new clothes are occasionally seen bouncing.

Huating was the fief of Lu Xun, the Marquis of Huating of the Three Kingdoms of Eastern Wu, so this place has been headed by the surname Lu for thousands of years.

However, in the Yuan Dynasty, Huating was promoted from the county to the government, and gradually became a place where literati and writers gathered, and many Jiangnan clans moved here, and the most famous is the Qian family, which is known as "the southeast Zhongwang and Wu Yue Fuxing".

The east of Huating City is mostly a big family house, which has an alley that runs through the north and south, and is called "Zhuangyuan Lane" by the county people because it once had a champion.

And this champion is Qian Fu of the Qian family, the Huiyuan and champion of the three years of Hongzhi, and the people living in this alley are all members of the Qian clan.

A few idlers in the south of the alley were chatting, and a thin young man walked briskly, looking calm but hurrying.

"Did you hear that? It is said that Brother Yuan is going to Hangzhou. ”

"There's no way, the shop in Hangzhou has to be disposed of, and it is said that a few guys have died." The older middle-aged man looked up at the sky, "I'm afraid there will be snow on this day, it's really hard for him." ”

"But Brother Yuan'er's temperament has changed." A frivolous young man deliberately said loudly, seeing that the young man's footsteps did not stop, he snorted and muttered: "This is afraid!" ”

"If you're really scared, you'll fall out with the Xu family?" Someone on the side scoffed, "It is said that the unsuccessful person of the Xu family hit him on the back of the head with a stick, and Brother Yuan fainted for three days before waking up, and for this reason, he missed last year's township test ......"

The wind released from the Xu family...... said that Brother Yuan harassed the daughters of the Xu family......"

"How is that possible!"

"I heard that Brother Yuan called the 'Brother Huang' of the Xu family!"

"Hahahaha......"

Everyone was stunned for a moment and laughed, and some people laughed and said: "No wonder others say that Brother Yuan doesn't let his great-ancestor Hetan Gongzhuan be beautiful!" ”

"Shaohu Gong is now in the cabinet, so naturally he doesn't want others to mention that his ancestors were in the ......."

The frivolous young man laughed and said, "Hey, Hetan Gong...... But feng shui takes turns, maybe I can grow like the Xu family in the future! ”

"Haha, then you have to ensure that your son is a jinshi first."

"I have to make sure you don't leave too early, Mrs. Xu hasn't enjoyed the blessing for long!"

Standing at the door of a mansion at the north end of the alley, Qian Yuan sighed slightly, it has only been more than four months since he came to this time and space, but he has tasted all the joys and sorrows.

I was hit by the bus that rushed into the café, and I was happy to be able to come to this era and regain my life.

Parents are loving, and family harmony is also joyful.

It is even more joyful to come through and be a talented man, and the name of the head of the government examination is even more joyful, and Songjiang is a famous imperial examination house.

It's a pity that happiness is followed by sadness, my father and brother went out to do business, and the bad news came before the New Year's Festival, both of them died, and even the corpse was not brought back, and the mother and sister-in-law fell ill, Qian Yuan had to take on the heavy responsibility, take care of the funeral, and give a bereavement pension to the guys who died together.

It's only the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, but Hangzhou still has to go, Qian Yuan has no choice but to go by himself, and he can't let his sister who is only ten years old go.

The most important thing is that Qian Yuan vaguely guessed that he caused the disaster of his father and brother's death.

More than three months ago, I came up with a secret recipe that was extremely precious in this era, and my father and brother made a lot of money from trafficking goods to Hangzhou and Ningbo.

But two months ago, the bad news came, my father and brother encountered Japanese robbers on the sea road back to Ningbo from Zhoushan Ligang, the ship was destroyed, the people and goods were empty, and even the corpse could not be brought back for burial.

Qian Yuan didn't believe that it was such a coincidence, his father and brother had been on this line for many years, and something happened when they happened to make the first batch of new goods.

"Young Master Yuan." The old servant at the door greeted with sharp eyes, "Madame has greeted you, Young Master Yuan just enters." ”

Qian Yuan nodded and walked into the mansion, this is the house of Qian Zheng, the only clansman of the Qian family who is currently prominent, and he is also Qian Yuan's second uncle.

Qian Yuan's grandfather and grandmother died early, and his father Qian Rui was in business for his younger brother Qian Zheng to study, the latter was a Jinshi in the 14th year of Jiajing, and was elected as a Shujishi, but he was involved in the Xia Yan case and resigned angrily after being demoted out of Beijing.

Qian Zheng came out, his wife Lu stayed in Huating, the two families have always been close, Lu has no children, so he has always treated Qian Yuan like a parent, if it weren't for the Lu family to send someone to assist in this funeral, Qian Yuan, who had just arrived, had to be full of money, and he thought that a memorial service would be over......

"Brother Yuan is here." Lu, who is only in his thirties this year, looks like he is in his fifties, "How is your mother today?" I have already taken your uncle's post and asked the Gu family. ”

"Thank you, uncle." Qian Yuan saluted and got up and said, "Mother is much better today, I will go to Hangzhou tomorrow, and I will ask my uncle and aunt to take care of me at home." ”

"There is no need to say much about it, it's a pity that you ......" Lu sighed: "Originally, you should have taken the township test last year, but this delay is three years." ”

The corners of Qian Yuan's mouth twitched, his predecessor was on the way to Nanjing Township to take the test, and he just crossed over, and after waking up, he kept shouting headaches when he figured out the current situation, otherwise, the first township of the government test case would have handed in the blank papers......

But it is precisely because of this that when I was recuperating in Zhuangzi, I spent a lot of time to come up with the so-called secret recipe.

"But my temperament has changed." Lu carefully looked at the nephew in front of him with a young face but a hint of wind and frost, "Remember that trouble will come from your mouth in the future." ”

The corners of Qian Yuan's mouth twitched, he didn't know what happened until he returned to Songjiang last year......

At that time, Qian Yuan, who went to Nanjing to prepare for the township test, met his classmate Xu Fan on the road, but this one did not go to participate in the township test, but went to the capital to hug his thigh...... His father, Xu Jie, was promoted to the rank of Cabinet Scholar at the end of the previous year.

Xu Fan and Qian Yuan are in the same academy, and the latter is quite famous at a young age, Xu Fan has repeatedly failed to pass the test, and he has not even passed the government test last year, so he can only take the road of Yin Shi.

The two didn't deal with each other in the first place, and they sneered at each other on the road, but Qian Yuan was much stronger than Xu Fan in this regard.

Qian Yuan's harsh words are quite famous in the entire Songjiang Mansion, and many people call him Xiao's great-grandfather Qian Fu, who is in the legend of the community...... You can't say the dead live, but you can say the living dead!

In the end, Qian Yuan's sentence "Brother Huang" completely tore his face, Xu Jie's grandfather Xu Li joined the Huang family back then, and did not change his surname back to Xu until his father Xu Huang became a Cheng in Bapin County.

Xu Fan's mouth was not good, but his hands were quite sharp, but Qian Yuan also brought servants, and the two groups of people started on the streets of Suzhou, and one of the Xu family's carriages was overturned, and Qian Yuan was hit by a stick in the back of the head, and he woke up in a coma for three days.

Qian Yuan, who had crossed over, couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh after figuring out the ins and outs...... He was not a good person in his previous life, and he often caused trouble, but he never refused to hurt people with words, which is the least cost-effective among the methods of scolding!

Since childhood, he has studied hard and has a talented name, has a strange and stubborn temperament, and has a snarky mouth...... Qian Yuan really doesn't want this person!

And Qian Yuan knew that it was thirty-one years after Jiajing...... I wanted to hug Xu Jie's thighs!

Lu asked the maid to take out a package, which contained a few warm cotton clothes and various medicines, and carefully advised, "By the way, you go to Hangzhou this time to bring the horse steward of the outer courtyard, he has been serving your second uncle before, if you encounter trouble in Hangzhou, you can go down the river to Huizhou Mansion to find your uncle." ”

Qian Yuan thanked him deeply and discussed with the steward Ma and then went out of the house, at this time there was already a light snow falling in the sky, and he returned home in the wind and snow, and as soon as he entered the door, he heard someone in the porter shouting in a thick voice, "Young master, this is Mr. Gu." ”

This is Gu Dingfang's eldest son Gu Congli, Gu Dingfang is a native of Songjiang Shanghai, proficient in medical skills, favored by Emperor Jiajing, and was called as the imperial doctor of the Shengji Palace.

Qian Yuan had a little impression of the name Gu Congli, as if he had seen it in the Shanghai Museum of Natural History before......

After some diagnosis, Gu Congli left the prescription and left in a hurry, Qian Yuan asked someone to grab the medicine and let his sister be in charge of decocting the medicine.

Qian mother, who was leaning crookedly on the head of the bed, drank medicine while unconsciously staring at the only remaining male in the family...... It's not a bad thing, the original bitter mouth is now locked, but it's not a good thing, sometimes you can't hear a few words at the end of the day.

"Leave tomorrow." Qian Yuan watched his sister finish serving her mother and drinking the medicine, and then said slowly: "The shop in Hangzhou is going to be disposed of, it is said that there are four guys who died over there, and the pension is generous, and there may be arrears, I will deal with it together this time." ”

Mother Tan is a native of Jiangxi, married to Songjiang, has a weak temperament, rarely assertive, and only knows how to sigh with tears, "This time it was my mother who dragged you down." ”

Although he was only seventeen years old, Qian Yuan, who had been a man in two lifetimes, did not have the temper that a young man was used to, he was silent for a moment and then got up, "That's true, but after three years, I hope my mother won't drag me down anymore." ”

Tan Shi first mentioned it, and then her whole body relaxed, tears involuntarily burst out of her eyes, she naturally understood this sentence, her son was persuading himself to take care of his body.
