Yang Xingkang feels that he has been living in the shadow of others.

When he was a child, his neighbors always said that he was really good at reincarnation, and there were so many families in the village, the Yang family was rich, and the Yang family also had a relative who was the Duchess of Fuguo. He was born in the Yang family.

Later, Yang Li married to the Fuguo Mansion, and some people said that this Yang Xingkang is really lucky, in addition to being reincarnated, he also has a good sister, and he will be a direct relative of the Fuguo Mansion in the future, and he doesn't have to do anything, pie will fall from the sky.

Yang Xingkang's parents are simple people, and the children they teach cannot have any bad intentions, that is, their reading ability is poor, and they have been admitted to the imperial examination for several years, but they have not even been admitted to the show.

Later, I had to give up, and if I didn't give up, the ballad that the village children made up for Yang Xingkang to fail the test was ten sentences long. One sentence a year update.

Gu Chunchao's exam ability is poor, so he can open a leisure garden, but Yang Xingkang doesn't have this ability, but he wants to prove himself.

The Yang family is a tenant who has some land, but it has been contracted, these tenants are poor people in the village, and there is no need for someone to manage it, and the tenants will take the initiative to pay grain during the autumn harvest.

So Yang Xingkang decided to go to the capital to have a try. Prove it to everyone. The family knew that he had never been far away, so he asked his daughter-in-law to follow, so that there was a response and discussion in case of trouble.

The child is also a few years old, and he said that the education in the capital is good, so he took him to the capital to study in a private school.

The husband and wife also entered the capital for the first time, and they didn't have any skills, so they followed the villagers to learn to do business, and opened a small grocery store in the East Market, mainly selling the specialty cotton of their hometown.

But cotton is not available all year round, usually the daughter-in-law looks at the store, and he goes to do some small business with others to buy and sell, which is objectively very difficult, basically making a living.

Sometimes the account period is long, and you can't open the pot, and you have to take care of Yang Likai to ask for silver, Yang Likai didn't want to care, but my brother and sister-in-law came to the capital with my eldest nephew, and the adults were hungry, and the children couldn't stand it.

And my nephew is already studying at a private school in the capital, and the monthly tuition fee is a fixed expense, so I can't say that I won't let my child study if I don't have money. So Yang Li's monthly money is gone.

But it's so difficult, Yang Xingkang is still gritting his teeth and insisting, because he has a breath in his heart, that is, he especially wants to prove to others that he is not relying on his family, he is a very capable person.

In fact, he really thinks too much, reincarnation is a technical job, and he was reincarnated into a wealthy family, which already shows that he is very capable.

Later, Yang Li drove back to her hometown, and the husband and wife went back together. Yang Likai knew his brother very well and knew that he didn't have great skills, so he didn't want his brother to return to the capital, and Yang Xingkang also agreed.

But when he just returned to his hometown, many people who looked down on him before looked down on him differently, and he immediately felt different. He felt that the hardships he had endured in the capital before were worth it.

After all, Yang Xingkang is also a person who has been in the capital, and the capital of drinking and bragging is different, when everyone asked him when he would return to the capital, he immediately said that he would go back after taking care of his family.

This time his daughter-in-law didn't want to go back with him, compared with his hometown in the capital, those days were too bitter, and now in his hometown, Yang Li drove back, not only brought a lot of maids and servants, but also rested in the old house and built a new house.

I don't have to do anything at home, there are people to serve, before Yang Xingkang went to the capital, she was willing to follow, and another reason was that she didn't want to stay at home to serve her mother-in-law, this will Yang Li come back, this work is not her turn.

Now eating and drinking spicy food all day long, who would think about living the life of the capital, the capital is prosperous, what does it have to do with herself as a poor person, the memory left by the capital is that it is difficult to make money, and it is easy to spend money.

Besides, Yang Likai is no longer in the capital, and if something happens, no one will help him.

Yang Xingkang reluctantly went to Beijing alone. This time, I got more money, and I didn't plan to do grocery store business, and I didn't mainly look at the store, so I was going to learn to do some quick money business like patchwork. It's really not good, and I'm doing some reselling business like before.

As a result, before the end of the year, he met a person nicknamed "Xiao Cripple", and took him to do business that was not allowed by the imperial court, that is, fireworks made in small folk workshops and sold to the common people, because the fireworks were cheap and the business was good.

There is also the sale of some private tea, Xiliangguo controls tea, he buys some good tea from tea farmers cheaply, and then sells it to the people. Of course, the price is much cheaper than that of the official store.

He didn't go home from the previous year to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and he has been selling fireworks and tea, which is the first time in Yang Xingkang's life that he has made so much money.

There is a good saying, blessings are not double, disasters are not one-way, just when Yang Xingkang made money and was about to go home to spend his old age, he encountered an incident.

Yang Xingkang rented a courtyard house in the capital, he didn't know that this was the house of the Fuguo Mansion, this area was occupied by poor people, and the Fuguo Mansion did not have the manpower to deal with the rental matter, so he contracted the small courtyard to the tooth shop.

The tooth shop is the intermediary, and they pay the rent directly to the auxiliary government. Then collect the rent from the tenant.

One day, Yang Xingkang heard his landlord and a woman arguing in the yard. Out of curiosity, the tenants in the courtyard all came out to see what was going on.

It turned out that the woman claimed to be the wife of a previous tenant, saying that he had left home shortly after he got married, and was messing around outside, and he had lived with his concubine before, and he had come to catch the adulterer.

also took out the marriage certificate given by the government to show everyone to prove that he was not lying.

The people of the tooth shop said in their hearts, I only care about renting a house, and the family ethics are not my own business, so they drove people out, but the woman didn't do it, and the two quarreled.

Everyone came up to persuade the fight, but the woman didn't leave, she had to wait for her father-in-law to come back, and make it clear to her face, but your father-in-law is no longer renting a house here, and you can't wait for anyone.

The final solution is for the woman to rent the house where her husband lived before and wait for his husband to come back.

In addition to the way this woman appeared, she was actually a quiet character, and after living for a few days, everyone didn't feel her presence.

Yang Xingkang also has some buddies in the capital, and he is ready to go back to his hometown, and a few buddies gathered, so they found a tavern to drink, and finally drank high.

Yang Xingkang didn't remember how he got home, and when he woke up, he found himself lying on a strange bed, and a strange woman was sleeping next to him, which was quite good-looking.

Yang Xingkang doesn't remember anything anyway, this woman is the woman who came to catch the rape that day, named Qiao Niang. According to her, Yang Xingkang broke into her room last night and forced herself, but Qiao Niang didn't shout, because she was afraid that everyone would know that it would be bad for anyone.

Qiao Niang said that Yang Xingkang was not responsible, so this incident should have never happened.

Yang Xingkang is a little guilty, objectively speaking, he is a kind person, although he can't remember what happened yesterday, but it is always a fact that he woke up in someone else's house, and Qiao Niang is not responsible, which makes him even more guilty.

At this moment, it is the first month, many strangers have already gone home for the New Year, Yang Xingkang felt that he was a little suspected of evading responsibility when he went home immediately, so he decided not to go back, accompanied Qiaoniang in the capital, and the two strangers suddenly found a sympathy for each other.

Yang Xingkang used to take care of his own life by his daughter-in-law, and during the past year, no one accompanied him in the capital was his own, of course, he lived a chaotic life, these days with the care of Qiao Niang, the whole person seems to be a few years younger, and suddenly found the feeling of the beginning of love.

Qiao Niang also made it clear that she has no plans to remarry, since her father-in-law can mess around outside, she has no choice, which makes herself more happy.

Of course, Yang Xingkang also longs for a woman by his side, and now that there is such a beautiful woman around him who doesn't need to be responsible, what reason is there to refuse?

The two came together like this.

After the New Year, the people in the yard came back, Yang Xingkang said to the outside world, he hired Qiao Niang, laundry and cooking, in fact, everyone understands that this kind of dew couple in the capital is also very common, as long as you don't make trouble with the government, let's live like this.

During this period, Xiao Cripple was arrested and confessed to Yang Xingkang, and the government issued a fine for Yang Xingkang to pay, although Yang Xingkang felt that the amount was wrong and wanted to talk to Ding Renyou to help, but he never found anyone.

He said in his heart that he would just forget it, and he would pay the fine when he was free, after all, he would have to mix in the capital.

A few months ago, there was a garden party in the capital, and the two of them were wandering on the street, and they heard that the new Oiran Hua Lili of Baihualou also came, and out of curiosity, the two of them waited to see the Oiran.

As a result, it was hard to see, Qiao Niang said that the Oiran was her sister who had been lost for many years, and the black mole under the Oiran looked exactly the same as her sister's. Yang Xingkang didn't believe it, but there was no way to confirm it.

Baihualou recruits laundry mothers-in-law all year round, because of the heavy workload, the loss of mother-in-law is serious.

In order to confirm her statement, Qiao Niang went to apply for the laundry woman of Baihualou.

As a result, half a month later, Qiao Niang told Yang Xingkang that she had recognized her sister. Yang Xingkang also thinks it's very good, he is a person with a wife and a child, and he wanted to say that although he can't give Qiaoniang a future, he must give her some money when he breaks up, which can be regarded as compensation.

This will be Qiao Niang has a younger sister, and she is finally a little dependent.

A few months later, that is, a few days ago, Qiao Niang came back and told Yang Xingkang that her sister was taken in by Gu Zhirui, the son of the Ministry of Shangshu, and Zhong Jingliu, the second son of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, the first gentleman in the capital, and at the same time.

The old bustard has agreed to redeem himself.

But these two Hua Lili don't like it, and the silver that Hua Lili has saved in the past two years is enough for her to redeem herself, but these two sons are powerful, and they are not easy to offend, I hope Yang Xingkang will help and use Hua Lili's silver to help her redeem herself.

Qiao Niang never asked Yang Xingkang to do anything, this matter is not too difficult, just come forward to bid, and besides, the old bustard already recognizes money and does not recognize people, and the money is high, so he will naturally release people.

Yang Xingkang agreed to this matter, but who would have thought that on the day of redeeming Hua Lili, he almost died, and for some reason Yang Xingkang had just given the old bustard a silver ticket here, and the two sons over there had a big fight.

Fortunately, the forbidden army of the Jiumen Admiral's Mansion came in time, otherwise the two noble sons would have lost their lives because of the battle for the Oiran, and they could stay in the headlines of the capital for a long time. At this moment, the two sons are recuperating in their respective mansions.
