"I went to the capital, that slut is really cheap, the man has not returned for ten years, and he said that he died outside, who knew that he had become a big official of the imperial court, and now, he took his family to the capital to enjoy happiness."

"To the capital? What is a man called? ”

"Call, uh, I don't dare to say it, but it's a big official."

"It's okay, I won't tell anyone." The Qin clan's chatterbox opened, forgetting his predicament for a while, Yun Chengyang became patient, they knew how to interrogate very well, and knew how to induce the captives to speak.

"Qian Xiancong, everyone in our area knows that this slut has made me miserable, and now I don't dare to go out, lest others laugh at me."

"Qian Xiancong?"

"Yes, you know him? You say, my eldest sister-in-law, if it weren't for the fact that my brain was in the water and she remarried someone else, she would now be wearing a silk and satin car, and she would enjoy endless blessings? ”

"Did Qian Xiancong bring his son back to the capital?"

"Yes."

"How many children did Qian Xiancong and his ex-wife have?"

"Just one, the slut didn't treat the child well back then, and now the son doesn't recognize her, she really deserves it, and we don't even get a blessing, okay, we are his own concubines, we made a fortune, and we didn't even say a word, and when we heard the news, they went to Beijing early."

"Qian Xiancong, are there any other women?"

"No, oh, no, listen to my dead ghost man, someone married a county lord's mother, the queen mother gave the marriage, ouch God, the spectrum is very big, but only gave my man twenty taels of silver, the dead ghost lived in the hotel to eat along the way, and when he got home, half of it was gone, bah, the richer he was, the more stingy he became, hum, he only gave us twenty taels of silver......" Qin's babbling endlessly.

Yun Chengyang's heart fluctuated, Qian Xiancong gave birth to a son here, and when he entered the capital, there was only one girl by his side, and the name was still the same, called Qian Wenjin.

What's going on? Could it be that the lady exchanged her daughter for someone else's son? No, Granny Zhang said that she lost the eldest girl. Could it be that this He Shi picked it up? But what about He's son?

Anyway, this Qian Wenjin has a strange background.

Yun Chengyang saw that he couldn't say anything from Qin's mouth, so he wanted to find He's: "What about your eldest sister-in-law?" ”

"I don't know!"

"Tell the truth!"

"Woo, I really don't know, I heard that when Master Qian returned to his hometown, he asked people to arrest her, and later, there was no shadow, perhaps, kill her."

Yun Chengyang was speechless, feeling that Qin's inference might be true, Qian Xiancong was such a big official, and killing a woman who did not abide by women's morals was not a crime at all.

Yun Chengyang untied the rope: "Go back by yourself, dare to reveal a word about meeting me, see if I don't want your dog's life!" ”

"I won't say it, I swear, if I don't keep my promise, there will be five thunderstorms in the sky!" The Qin clan was in a hurry to get out and said anything.

Yun Chengyang put away the rope, and a few dodges melted into the night, Qin Shi felt frightened and drenched in cold sweat, and was blown by the night wind, and the spirit shivered, she wrapped herself in the quilt, and stumbled and groped her way home by the moonlight.

Yun Chengyang and several other scouts met on the river beach the next morning, and when they saw that he had finally made a breakthrough, several people were excited, discussed readjusting the scope of the investigation, and slowly began to investigate.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Xiao Yi received a secret report from Yun Chengyang, he was in a mood, and he was waiting at the gate of the palace early in the morning, watching Qian Xiancong take his wife into the palace to worship, but unfortunately, Qian Xiancong did not bring his daughter, which made him disappointed.

In order to hide people's eyes, Xiao Yi didn't dare to make a big move, nor did he dare to go to the Qian Mansion rashly to visit, so he could only arrange someone to quietly inquire about Qian Xiancong.

Qian Wenjin is Qian Xiancong's adopted daughter, and it is no secret that she is in the circle of high-ranking officials in the capital, Xiao Yi inquired a little, and then knew the news, and suddenly, I couldn't wait to take a look at it immediately, after all, when my daughter was a child, that appearance was a copy of his wife, and now, there is always a little similarity, right?

Xiao Yi asked people to stay near the Qian family, thinking that the daughter of the Qian family would come out to play on the 15th Lantern Festival, who would have thought that this hope would be dashed again.

Every time Wen Jin went to the hotel in Weifu, she put on makeup and changed her name, only a few people who were staring at her knew about it, and Xiao Yi hadn't inquired about it yet, otherwise, she would have to go to the hotel to wait for the rabbit.

Just when Xiao Yi scratched his ears and cheeks, wanting to see Wen Jin's true face and identify whether it was his biological daughter, there was news from Shanyang that he had found the woman who was a nurse for his son back then.

Xiao Yi couldn't help it, and asked the emperor for leave, saying that he wanted to go out to travel.

Emperor Yongchang was observing his reaction, and at this moment he was basically sure that Xiao Yi was not the murderer of his wife and daughter, and he was still trying his best to find his lost children, so he nodded happily.

In order not to make Xiao Yi suspicious, Emperor Yongchang also gave Xiao Yi a secret decree in a fake manner, asking him to secretly investigate whether the official reputation of the officials along the way was honest and incorruptible, and how capable he was.

Xiao Yi agreed, went home and told Zhao Yulan that he had been ordered by the emperor, and Zhao Yulan was very happy when she saw that the man had been reused by the emperor, but she didn't suspect anything.

Xiao Yi told Zhao Yulan that the emperor asked him to go to the northwest, and after walking out of the city for a day, he suddenly turned around, changed his clothes, and went straight to Shanyang County.

Of the two nurses that Mrs. Xiao trusted, one lost her daughter, and the other sold her son. This Mu Pozi, back then and Granny Zhang walked in a completely different direction, she was blind in the dark for half the night, and finally came to a small village called Zuojiazhuang, she was the son of the Xiao family, she had never suffered since she was a child, and her hunger alone made her unbearable.

In the west of the village, there is a bachelor Zuo Shilang, in his thirties, his skin is not bad, his wife is dead, the family is poor and lazy, and he has been a bachelor for seven or eight years.

Zuo Shilang saw that he had a son, so he looked at Xiao Yuchen brought by Mu Pozi like a thorn in his eye.

On this day, Mu Pozi went out to hug firewood, followed by Xiao Yuchen, who was holding a small bamboo rake, on the side of the official road outside the village, and met a team of guards, surrounded by a high-headed flat-headed black paint cart, the people in the car didn't know what it looked like, anyway, the entourage outside was wearing satin clothes.

Mu Pozi watched blankly, remembering her misfortune, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

The people in the carriage were looking out through the window, dressed in tattered wooden women, and they couldn't get into his eyes, but Xiao Yuchen surprised the people in the car: "How can there be a child in a small village with such a rich face?" ”

It turns out that this Fan Yuanwai is a wealthy squire, once worked as a magistrate, his only son died of a sudden illness five years ago, and the two older daughters are married, seeing that he is over fifty years old, there is no one to inherit the big family, and the people of the same clan are eyeing each other, he can't sleep day and night, and is worried.

"If I buy this child, and say to the outside world that it was born in the outer room of Minghu City, even if those people know that it is fake, they will never dare to confront me, and when I am not in good health, they will divide the family property into multiple parts, and the daughter, brother, and clan will each get benefits, I think I can save this child's life, he is a rich and noble minister, maybe I can carry forward my family in the future." The plan has been decided, Fan Yuanwai ordered the stop, and recruited his cronies Fan Wu'er, so he turned the road and went straight to Shanyang County, where he stayed.

After more than ten days, Fan Wuer successfully bought Xiao Yuchen from Mu Pozi, Mu Pozi didn't dare to tell the truth at that time, and lied that Xiao Yuchen was her own child, her husband's surname was Huang, the man died, she was not allowed to be a woman, she was swept out, and the people in the village believed her words, Xiao Yuchen had changed his surname to Zuo at this moment, and on the deed of sale, it was written Zuo Dalang.

Fan Yuanwai also sent someone from Minghu City to pick up his distant cousin who was a widow of one of his concubines, and said that it was in the outer room of Minghu City, Xiao Yuchen also changed his name to Fan Yiyang, and his nickname was Yinqun, and he became a child of the Fan family.

Fan Yuanwai still did not give up the hope of having a child, and he hoped that Xiao Yuchen could lead a group of children from the Fan family.

Xiao Yuchen was abused by Zuo Shilang and Mu Pozi, the little child, he was forced to take care of the child, collect firewood, clean the house, and follow Fan Yuanwai, the old man was like a treasure, he was very good to him, Fan Yuanwai repeatedly told him that he was his father, Xiao Yuchen believed it, the two got along for a month, and when they returned to Fan's house, they were already intimate, and no one saw that something was wrong.

Fan Yuanwai's widowed cousin, and a seven-year-old daughter, Fan Yuanwai all recognized it and said that it was his own, and his wife had a gap with him because of this, and he didn't explain, and he became more and more sincere, and the people of the clan were convinced.

Xiao Yuchen was in Fan's family until he was seven years old, and the two concubines brought back by Fan Yuanwai from Minghu City were pregnant one after another, and they both gave birth to boys, those who coveted the Fan family's property, all of them were like ashes, and there was no hope.

Fan Yuanwai did not dislike Xiao Yuchen because of this, but thought that this child was blessed and brought him two biological sons, and he cherished Xiao Yuchen more and more, and outsiders believed that Xiao Yuchen was a child of the Fan family.

This is also Fan Yuanwai's accumulation of blessings for himself, and in the end, he really planted melons and got melons, and enjoyed the blessings of Xiao Yuchen.

Although Xiao Yuchen has experienced several setbacks, he has not suffered much and has grown up smoothly.

Xiao Yi listened to Mu Pozi's confession and sold his son, and he was so angry that he drew a knife and was about to cut this cheap slave in two, Mu Pozi was so frightened that he kowtowed again and again: "I know where the son was sold." ”

"Where?" Xiao Yiqiang held back his anger and asked.

"It's not that I want to sell my son, but I'm too poor at home, and I'm afraid that my son will suffer,......"

"Less wordy!"

"Yes, I sent Zuo Shilang to follow the carriage quietly, and learned that the buyer's surname was Fan, known as Fan Yuanwai, he later went all the way west, Zuo Shilang followed for three days, afraid of being discovered, so he returned.

It turned out that Zuo Shilang still wanted to wait for Xiao Yuchen to grow up, take charge of the house, and then pretend to be his father and blackmail, but he was discovered by people outside Fan Yuan, chased and beat him, Zuo Shilang fled in a hurry, and he didn't dare to tell the truth when he came back.

Xiao Yi had no choice but to temporarily let Mu Pozi be put into custody, and when Fan Yuan was found, if the other party denied it and refused to return his son, he had to ask Mu Pozi to testify, so he temporarily left her a cheap life. ”

Although I know that all the way to the west, there will be traces of the Fan family in three days, but the sea of people is vast, how much to the west, is the person to look for?

Xiao Yi took people to visit along the way, and time passed day by day, where is a rich man surnamed Fan, which made him feel anxious, but there was still no news.

At this time, it was already the twenty-second day of the first month, and the hundred officials began to go to court, and Wen Jin's restaurant also reopened. Everyone is jealous that she has earned 1,000 taels of silver in two months, only Wen Jin understands that she has not recovered her capital, and is even in a serious loss stage, during the decoration and Chinese New Year, the rent is a lot, and the hotel is not open.

During this period of operation, the hotel still exposed a lot of problems, Wen Jin made adjustments and rectifications, and at the beginning of the new business season, the hotel got off to a good start.

In previous years, just after the New Year, the hotels were extremely bleak, but this year is different, compared to the year, the lifters from all over the country have entered Beijing one after another, Wenjin's hotel, the consumption is not high, and there are private rooms, which immediately became the first choice for those who borrow the club.

Except for the extremely wealthy families and those who have relatives in the capital, most of the people choose to stay in the guild hall and nearby, mainly because they are not familiar with the place, and there are hometown people who will take care of them.

Wen Jin's box charges people for more than an hour, mainly because of these moves, after eating, they sit down and talk highly, the box is heated, warm as spring, and they don't know how many times more comfortable than they are outside, so they can't think about it, and they don't close at night, refusing to leave.

Fortunately, Wen Jin was prepared and implemented this policy at the beginning, otherwise, he would have become "Yang Bailao".

Nearby restaurants, it is easy to wait until the triennial big competition, a look at Taibaiju to pull away most of the business, are also anxious, have played the box no charge signboard, but they have very few boxes, generally only three or four, guests come, often told that there is no, or Wen Jin is good here, there are many boxes, turn over quickly, most of the cases will not disappoint customers, there are naturally more people to come.

Fortunately, it has been open for a while, and with a small change, the people in the store quickly adapted, otherwise, Wen Jin would really be too busy. If you ask her what else is going on? The Qian family came out with two pregnant women at once, and Wei couldn't handle this business alone, so he had Wen Jin's help, in fact, Wen Jin was the lead singer, and Wei was helping. These are not a matter, the biggest thing in the Qian Mansion is now the county lord of Yujie, she has some pregnancy irritability, saying that if she wants to eat meat, she has to eat it, and she has to be the kind of fat person who takes a bite of oil, except for Wen Jin, no one can persuade her, otherwise, she can't control her temper.

The whole family was very worried, even if Wen Jin stopped him, the county lord of Yujie still inflated like a balloon, and his weight grew at least twenty pounds in a month, he used to be the kind of person with a slightly larger skeleton but not much meat, but now there is meat all over his body, and his double chin is out, and the whole person is like a peach blossom and his face is like a full moon.

The aesthetics of this era is to be such a person with a waist and flesh, and when they see the lord of Yujie, they don't praise her for being rich and noble, the Qian family is worried, but the people outside praise her.

After more than a month, the imperial examination is about to start, and the whole family is worried about Wen Han, the county lord's taste seems to know that he is not taken seriously, and it suddenly changes, otherwise, it is really enough for Wen Jin to be busy.

Early in the morning of this day, Wen Han took Sun Yanping, plus two servants from Qianfu, and took a carriage to the direction of Guozijian, where the examination room was located, and he was full of confidence to reassure everyone, up and down the house, which one can really put his mind at ease? He took the exam inside for three days, and the people outside worried about him for three days, and he stayed for one night, and when he went back to continue the exam, the people at home continued to worry.

Wen Jin also has to come up with a plan, so that the hotel will make a lot of money after the exam.

Guozijian Examination Institute, all in Xicheng, especially outside the examination institute, is the champion building, those high-standard and high-end celebration banquets, must be held in Xicheng, and Wen Jin's hotel, will focus on slightly lower grade celebration banquets, for example, those businessmen, the banquet in the Jinshi's fellow villagers, as well as these Jinshi's counter-invitation, the new Jinshi is not rich, Xicheng high-standard restaurant, a meal to eat hundreds of taels or even hundreds of taels of silver, they can't afford to spend, Wen Jin here, there is a box, and elegant, it is their first choice.

Wen Jin launched a package for the celebration banquet in a timely manner, and then asked someone to draw an advertising poster and post it, and he was very busy.

From the end of the exam, the lifters waited for the list, went to Wen Jin in groups to drink and spend time, and after the exam, they feasted each other, and the excitement was delayed until the end of May, and businessmen from all over the country have also entered Beijing to do business.

Wen Han got his wish and won the 51st place in the second class. The three of the first class can be directly conferred officials, and the rest of the jinshi, the emperor selected a part to enter the six ministries to observe the government, and the rest were delegated to local posts.

Because Wen Han had the experience of making meritorious contributions in Zhongjiang Mansion, he didn't have to watch politics this time, and the emperor directly put him in the household department and served as the head of the six products, which made the first and second class jinshi envious.

The filial piety of the first emperor expired for a year, Qin Tianjian selected the auspicious time and good day, and the Yongchang Emperor took the ministers to sacrifice to heaven and earth, and then sacrificed to the ancestors and the first emperor, and took off the filial piety clothes covered by his body.

The next day, the sound of silk and bamboo everywhere in the capital, and the musicians who had been holding back for a year, no one paid for it, and they couldn't help but come out to perform with itchy hands.

Beautiful and vulgar, she can still make money, such a girl, even if she grew up in the countryside, is also a good couple that men dream of, not to mention those noble families, some have ways to suppress their daughters-in-law, they are not afraid of Wen Jin entering the door, cocking their tails and posing qualifications, and disobeying discipline, at this moment, there are more people who are asking to marry.

The county lord of Yujie has already identified three candidates, and he will only wait for the emperor's filial piety period to expire, and then he will betroth her. On the Queen Mother's side, she sent a message from her father-in-law, saying that she was going to marry Wen Jin and asked the county lord of Yujie not to be busy. The county lord of Yujie was surprised and delighted, and the queen mother pointed to marriage, which is a great honor.
