It was the spring of 1890.

This year is of course worth remembering for Wang Shiyu, who is beautiful and elegant in Xiushui Mingshan. He had just been promoted to high school in "Qiuqiu", and in order to prepare for the next examination, he had been living in the capital for a while.

The rivers of the Qing Empire are declining, but at the feet of this son of heaven, there is a bright building looking at the sea, the wind is moving, and the party is thriving.

A few days ago, passing through Yanshan, he encountered mountain bandits, and was arrested into a bandit's den, and almost lost his life.

Fortunately, he worked hard.

rescued the strangely dressed Gege, and she was shocked by this Gege, saying that he would not marry. But he has a sweetheart, okay.

The beauty said that she wanted to make a promise, how is this good?

Sad, sad.

At that time, Ahn Wonxun of the Ahn family in Hwanghae-do, North Korea, was following the Korean envoy to the Qing court, this was the second time he came to the Qing country, and he came with his father last time, and he was very restrained.

This is a great opportunity.

For the first time, he served as the spokesperson of the An family in Huanghae Province, so why don't you play handsome and cool and have a good time? As for the money, he has a lot of money, and it is best to find a few treasures and bring them to North Korea, so that his few friends who have no knowledge can open their eyes.

I heard that there are good things flowing out of the palace everywhere now.

Coincidentally, yesterday I met two down-and-out Eight Banners disciples for him, saying that they had things from the palace in their hands and could sell them to him at a low price.

It's really hard to get through the iron shoes and nowhere to find them.

Happy, he asked them to trade in Wangxianglou today.

This Wangjiang Tower, located at the downtown entrance of East Street, was a place that everyone knew and knew at that time.

Outside the door is full of traffic, and inside is full of people.

The elegant seat on the second floor is a quiet place, there is a son sitting near the window, holding a jade fan and shaking it gently, his starry eyes are faint, his eyebrows are slightly locked, and he looks sad and full of thoughts.

With a luxurious face and good clothes, it is Wang Shijie.

Just now, I tried my best to avoid Gege, who was chasing after me. A big-footed woman in fancy dress and running all over the street wants to marry him, how do you tell him to be obedient?

On the street, she dared to block his way, only pulling his clothes.

"Where you go, I'll go with you." She said.

"I made an appointment with a friend to drink tea and listen to music in Tianxiang Pavilion, that place is not suitable for women, Gege should please go back to the house first." He thought he was prevaricating her with the name of a brothel, and she ran away in a hurry.

Who knew that she actually said: "Isn't it a brothel, I'll go with you." ”

The crowd burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at," she said, "I will marry him sooner or later, and if he goes to a brothel, of course I will go with him, and of course I will drink tea and listen to music, but I will not be allowed to spend the night there." ”

It was as if they were husband and wife.

"Gege, our son-in-law has nothing to do with you, it doesn't seem good for you to say this." The servant Sigui said.

"But we spent the night in the mountain temple, and I'm already one of his people." She looked shy.

"It turns out that there are already husband and wife, no wonder." Some onlookers whispered.

He was so embarrassed that he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.

It's no wonder that he is sitting in this Wangjiang Tower full of sorrow, and even the servant Sigui standing next to him is in a daze like his own master.

"Ugh." Childe sighed softly.

"Ugh." Sigui also sighed.

"What are you sighing about?" Wang Shijie didn't say angrily.

"Young master, you are worried, little one, I have to worry about you. That Gege, young master, you really can't be provoked, and you can't hide. ”

"You kid don't open any pot." Wang Shijie picked up the fan and knocked Sigui on the head.

"I'm telling the truth." Wang Sigui touched his head and said.

The reason why Wang Shiyu is so distressed is because he can't escape the forced marriage. But he has a sweetheart, Bi'er is still waiting for him in his hometown, how can he be ungrateful if he is lifted, wouldn't he become Chen Shimei?

Just as he was worried, there were three strange people over there, and the sound of the argument attracted his attention.

They said that two of them were dressed in nondescript flag uniforms, and the other was dressed as North Koreans.

Half a ring, he finally understood, it turned out that the North Korean wanted to buy the treasures of the two flag men, but the silver ticket was not enough, saying that it was 1,500 taels, and he only had 1,000 taels on him, and everyone bargained there.

Originally, Wang Shiyu, a newcomer, didn't bother to pay attention to this matter, but looking left and right, those two people didn't look like flag people at all, even if they were down-and-out Eight Banner disciples, they shouldn't behave like this.

Look at the so-called treasure, nine times out of ten it is also a fake.

These people dare to deceive at the feet of the Son of Heaven so blatantly, I am afraid that they also have a great background, and this matter does not matter if it is good. However, this is not Wang Shiyu's character.

He was about to get up and remind the North Korean, but he was stopped by his servant Sigui, who knew the young master's nosy temper,

"Young Master," Sigui stopped the young master and shook his head and said, "You don't meddle anymore, okay?" Last time you saved that young lady, but you didn't marry a person, today you want to help this North Korean, maybe you will provoke someone to come over, stick to you, and it will be troublesome to make a personal promise. ”

This is used with his body, and Wang Shijie's tea is going to be sprayed.

However, what Sigui said also has some truth, but you can't watch people being deceived.

With an idea, he shouted, "Hey, that." ”

Two false flag men, one North Korean, and three looked back in surprise. The two pretending to be the children of the Eight Banners were surprised, and they were clearly vicious eyes. Wang Shiyu pretended not to understand, calmly put down the teacup, and walked over.

He pointed to Na'an Yuanxun and said: "You guy, I finally met you again today, I sold you a hosta two days ago, and you also said that the silver ticket was not enough, so I took a box of Korean ginseng and exchanged it with me." When I got home, I found that all of them were defective, God has eyes, let me meet you here, if you don't give me money today, I will pull you to see the official. ”

"These two big brothers, please also help me to testify." Wang Shiyu saluted the two liars who pretended to be flag men and said.

The two liars looked at each other, gave each other a look, and then bluffed and said, "It turns out that you are a liar, and I knew that I would not waste time with you." ”

After saying that, he walked away.

An Yuanxun knew that Wang Shiyu was saving him? I don't know what to do, he was bitten by this Cheng who didn't know where to jump out.

"You, what do you mean by that? Have I ever bought a hosta from you? ”

Wang Shijie didn't answer, just sat down and drank tea with a smile.

The shopkeeper came over and said, "You are a foreigner, you don't understand anything, those two people are liars at all." We didn't dare to speak up, not because the bullies couldn't afford to mess with us. Thanks to this lord who saved you, you still don't appreciate it. ”

An Yuanxun suddenly woke up.

In this way, two young people from different countries and different backgrounds can be regarded as stumbling by mistake, and they have formed a friendship and opened the century-old history of the Anwang family.

"Oh, that's how grandpa and grandpa met." Xiao Min'er still had the sugar given by her brother in her mouth, how sweet it was, she was reluctant to bite and swallow it, she wanted to take it in her mouth little by little.

But naturally, there are still brothers who don't know very well, how the An family was destroyed by the Tongjian Mansion because they were reformists, and how the foreign public security fathers were exiled to China. This time he was no longer a noble child, but an exiled merchant whose country had been ruined.

When they met again, both of them sighed.

Wang Shijie has been officially represented, and he has also heard a little about what happened to the An family in North Korea.

He is also a reformer, and he is convinced that only change can save the country, and he is full of sympathy for An Yuanxun's plight.

Even though he knew that he was in the midst of an unpredictable political whirlpool, he still tried his best to help Ahn Won-hoon, who had just fled to China, and even funded him to carry out Korean rescue activities in China.

After all, he is a world businessman, and in the past few years, An Yuanxun's business in China has been booming, and the secret national salvation activities have also been in full swing.

But Wang Shijie encountered the catastrophe of his life at this moment, Emperor Guangxu failed to reform and was placed under house arrest, and he was urgently recruited back to Beijing by Cixi in Shandong, and set off on the same day.

On the day the decree arrived, Ahn was visiting the house.

Wang Shijie is not stupid, of course he has a hunch that this trip is a life of nine deaths. In fact, a day ago, he had already received a flying pigeon message from the eldest lady Chu Cao, and he had a chance to escape.

But he didn't.

You say that he is pedantic, and that he cannot be disobeyed, and that's what he thinks.

Husband, why are you afraid of life and death? What he can't rest assured about is the concubine who is about to give birth in a few months, Bi'er. Bi'er has followed him for so many years, it's just that he has no name and no points, and now he is about to give birth, he ......
