The little lady from the Fan family was actually promised to be a concubine to the son of an ordinary businessman.
When the news came out, many ladies and wives opened their eyes wide in shock.
They are also very social, and there are very few people who have no impression of the mother and daughter of the Fan family. After all, the young lady of the Fan family is really good-looking.
Although the Fan family and the Zhao family's divorce caused a lot of trouble in the city, but from the beginning to the end, Fan Yuan, the eldest son of the Fan family, was the one who made the trouble. He was beaten so hard that he couldn't get out of bed for half a month.
With his attitude, and Fan Yuan's reputation as a dude, even if people want to make a joke, it should be a joke that Mr. Fan is not strict with his children. innocent victims.
Because of this, coupled with the fact that Ms. Fan is good at pretending to be virtuous and dignified, as she gets older, many people come to propose marriage, and since the Fan family retired, they have always declined all attempts From what she meant, it was clear that she wanted to choose a good husband for her only daughter.
Why is it so good, suddenly news came out that Dao was promised to a merchant's son as a concubine
The sons of merchants were originally unable to take the imperial examinations and be officials. No matter how big the business was, if they had no backing, even a county magistrate would be able to make them have nowhere to ask for help.
Ordinary officials and officials would not marry a businessman if they could not marry a businessman.
Marrying a businessman, or being a concubine, how can it be possible that there is nothing tricky about it.
And when the noble ladies and young ladies in the capital were at a loss, Mr. Fan, as if he couldn't wait for a moment, directly carried a small sedan chair out through the back door, and handed it to the merchant's son.
Even though Mrs. Fan cried so hard and wanted to refuse such a marriage, Mr. Fan, who had always been gentle to her, ignored his wife's tears at this moment, and didn't even prepare the original dowry.
He couldn't help being in a hurry.
After knowing the identity of the businessman's son, Miss Fan cried hard, and refused to marry her life and death. Master Fan also cared about his desire to send his daughter into the palace, and planned to give the businessman's son some benefits, so he sealed his mouth. , just as if it never happened.
But he never expected that his daughter would be so stupid. The two had only known each other for a month, and then they gave away her innocent body.
She knew that she had lost her virginity, and she tried to fool her and let him, a father, send her to the palace, but she never thought that if His Majesty found out, the family's head would be lost.
Lord Fan hated his daughter for letting herself down, and hated that she almost killed him, so he simply ignored the last bit of father-daughter relationship, tied her up, put her in a sedan chair and carried her out.
When Mrs. Fan knew about this and tried to stop her, she would have been locked in the room long ago. Even if she was allowed to cry hard, Master Fan would not soften her heart.
"Master, how can you be so heartless, Ru'er is still so young, she has been raised up pampered, how can she bear to be a concubine in a place as far away as Jinling..."
Madam Fan was weeping, her beautiful face was full of pleading, "I beg the master to let Ru'er come back, even if she is married in Beijing, let's choose a lower family, nothing will happen..."
"Married to Beijing?"
Master Fan's face was as dark as water, and his voice was extremely cold, "Since she has lost her virginity, she should marry that merchant. If she marries in Beijing, if the news spreads that she is not innocent, how can our Fan family stay here?" Get a foothold in Kyoto."
Knowing that what her husband said was right, Madam Fan couldn't help the tears rolling down her face, she cried and begged, "Then let's not marry Ru'er to Beijing, let's marry outside, master, If Ru'er becomes a concubine, she will never be able to stand up again in the future, master!!!"
Her motherly kindness did not soften Mrs. Fan's heart. He lowered his eyes indifferently, and said coldly, "Even if she didn't marry in the capital, it is an indisputable fact that she lost her body. As long as it is true, someone will expose it." day."
"No, no." Mrs. Fan cried so much that she almost fainted, she said with a pale face, "I will find out how to hide it for Ru'er."
"What if you didn't hide it?"
Maybe because he didn't want to argue with Mrs. Fan anymore, Master Fan said impatiently, "Don't just think about Ru'er, Yuan Jie is still so young, if the outside world finds out that he has a wife who is not married, he will lose his virginity. My sister, not to mention marrying a wife in the future, her official career will be affected."
Hearing that it would affect her youngest son, Mrs. Fan cried and looked at her husband blankly with a pale face.
"If you are worried about her, then send a few people there. Now that the news of her marriage has spread, it will not be good for Yuan Jie to bring her back at this time."
Seeing that his son Mrs. Fan really stopped making trouble, Master Fan's tone became a bit more serious, "It was you who made your daughter mess around, so don't cry and cry in front of me. Let Taoer take care of it."
Tao'er is one of Mrs. Fan's concubines. Although she is good-looking, but because she is not as good-looking as Mrs. Fan, she has never been favored by her.
Now looking at the woman in front of her who is teasing her daughter to lose her virginity and trying to cover up the matter, and thinking about the gentle, caring, never troublesome, gentle Tao'er, Master Fan is naturally more at ease about Tao'er.
After he finished speaking, he saw Mrs. Fan suddenly raised her head and looked at him with an unbelievable gaze. Because the face that had cried seemed to be a little older, he immediately looked away with some disgust, and left alone. Mrs. Fan's face was full of tears, she knelt on the ground numbly, and wept bitterly.
Why did this happen? She clearly inquired about everything, including the carriage His Majesty left the palace, the clothes His Majesty was wearing, and the attendants by his side.
What the hell is going wrong.

"General."
Lang Su looked at the chess game in front of him that seemed to be lost, and raised his head to look at his friend sitting opposite him, "Yuan Cai, you seem to be very happy today?"
Fan Yuan just smiled, his face was still a little round despite the hard work of martial arts training and marching, "Yes, I'm very happy."
"It's just that I won a few games in a row." The two played chess for a day, and Lang Su naturally felt that it was because of Fan Yuan that he was winning all the time, so he was so happy. Start playing chess.
"Speaking of which, during this period of time, I always feel that something is different about you."
"Is it different?"
With a smile on his lips, Fan Yuan picked up the chess piece and said with a light smile, "Lang Su, do you have any enemies?"
"There used to be one." Lang Su rolled his eyes, "Isn't this playing chess with me?"
"I'm talking about the enemy of life and death."
Fan Yuan just dropped the chess piece in his hand, his eyes darkened slightly, and his voice seemed to be getting softer, "If there is such an enemy, what would you do?"
"Enemy of life and death?"
Lang Su frowned slightly, not understanding, "Where did we come from life-and-death enemies, even if we were always fighting before, it didn't reach the point of death."
"I said, you kid didn't provoke some enemies somewhere, did you?"
Seeing that Lang Su was in a hurry, Fan Yuan's smile was more serious than before, "It's just asking casually, why take it seriously, come on, continue."
He looked at him suspiciously for a few times, and after confirming that his friend's expression really seemed to have nothing to hide, Lang Sucai continued to take the chess piece dubiously, and complained casually, "Before you and I played chess, we always won and lost. Why do I seem to be It's like I never beat you."
"It doesn't seem like, you just haven't beaten me." Fan Yuancai put down the chess in his hand after the opponent placed a chess piece, "You always like to go straight when you play chess, and you don't notice when there are traps. Naturally, I will always lose to me."
"You didn't always let me lose before."
Before Fan Yuan went to grab the chess pieces, his smile remained unchanged, "That's because I let you."
"I owe you a beating! Don't think that Jiu Niang won't beat you if she protects me!"
"Senior and young are in order, you should call me aunt."
Lang Su's face suddenly turned red, and he concealed it awkwardly, "I don't want to call my aunt to the little lady who is younger than me!"
In the past, Fan Yuan might really have believed his words, but now when he looked at Lang Su again, he could easily see clearly the trace of affection and shyness hidden in his heart.
He was not happy, but his expression was a little bit gloomy.
Only those who grew up pampered and protected like Lang Su have the right to be so easy to deceive.
And he, who lost his family member and wanted to take revenge, had no choice but to stand up by himself.
After playing chess, Lang Su couldn't wait to go to the martial arts field to swing.
What he is most impatient with is playing chess. He doesn't understand the meaning of two people sitting opposite each other on a chessboard, but when he was with Liu Guojun, the general in the army said that they should come back and practice playing chess. hone your mind.
After a month, I didn't feel my xinxing was tempered, and my buttocks seemed to be hurting from sitting.
Lang Su couldn't wait to practice martial arts and move his body, but Fan Yuan changed his clothes and left the house.
He had begged His Majesty before and refused to return to the mansion, perhaps because of Lang Su's relationship, His Majesty was a little more lenient to him, so he really obeyed him and let Fan Yuan continue to live in Lang Mansion.
Master Fan didn't like this son who went to the battlefield without telling him, so he just let him stay in the Lang's house like this, never thinking about whether his son, who is regarded as a feud between the two families, would be wronged.
He didn't care about it, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were also panicked by the thunderbolt of His Majesty on the dragon chair, so they didn't have the heart to take care of this kind of thing.
The difference from the last time is that this time Fan Yuan can enter and leave Lang's mansion at will. After he went out, the servants bought back after returning to the capital had already prepared the carriage. Get into the carriage.
"How are things going?"
"If you go back to Mr. Lang, you've already bought all the things and put them in place."
Fan Yuan nodded and asked, "Is anyone suspicious?"
The servant replied respectfully, "No, their family is still very happy."
The carriage drove all the way out of the city, and arrived at a street outside. This is a city that is relatively close to Kyoto, and it is crowded with people coming and going.
Fan Yuan just got out of the carriage and went to a shop. The clerk in the shop immediately wanted to salute when he saw him. He waved his hand, and the clerk quickly retreated obediently. At the door of the store, I looked directly at the opposite side.
Opposite is a tailor's shop, and it seems that it will be spring in the past two days, but the cold wind is unwilling to let go, so more people come to buy cotton-padded clothes.
The lady in charge in the shop was very busy, and a man who looked stocky was being ordered around by her. The husband and wife cooperated to prepare the clothes requested by several customers, and watched them leave satisfied.
There was an old lady with her eyes closed sitting in front of the store, wearing a thick cotton padded coat, leaning on a cane and leaning on her crutches to bask in the sun with her head slightly raised. With a sigh of relief, he quickly took out the water and handed it to her hand firmly, "Mother, drink some water, the weather is very dry."
The old woman closed her eyes, raised the water tremblingly, and took a few sips obediently. After all, she couldn't control her hand trembling when she was old, and some water inevitably spilled outside. Fortunately, there was a lady holding a handkerchief carefully in the water. Next, it didn't get to the top of the clothes.
When she finished drinking, the old voice tremblingly said, "Okay, okay..."
"Hey, mother, come on, wipe your mouth."
The lady carefully wiped the water stains around the old lady's mouth with a handkerchief, and asked softly, "Are you hungry? Do you want me to get something to eat?"
"Not hungry, not hungry..."
The old lady still had her eyes closed, and said words unclearly, "Yes, bask in the sun."
The daughter-in-law straightened up and gathered her mother-in-law's clothes so that she would not be frozen, and then went to the house to continue working.
Fan Yuan stared blankly, hearing the envious voices of the two women in the shop next to him.
"Mother-in-law Miao is blessed. Look at this son and daughter-in-law who are filial, and are taken care of so well even though they are blind."
"Didn't there be a mother-in-law in the East Street before who was out of her mind? The family didn't care, and she ran out and couldn't find her."
"I heard that their family met a nobleman some time ago. They said that they were related to their family. They also introduced this man to work. They got a lot of money and could always bring something back. After this, Granny Miao will be considered a blessing. .”
There was an unfilial woman who heard this and felt uncomfortable, and said sourly, "What's the use of being filial in the family? I don't know if I don't know it or not. I heard that she always ran to the water's edge before, saying that she wanted to be filial. What kind of lady was saved, and the whole family cried and hugged her back."
"Didn't the Miao family say that? Granny Miao served a nobleman before, but she was sent out after she lost her mind. I guess she was the lady of the noble family."
"Hey, have you heard about the incident on West Street..."
It was just a group of old women's gossip, Fan Yuan stared blankly at the old woman who was squinting and basking in the sun, but her eyes were already red.
He couldn't remember what happened when he was a child, but he vaguely remembered asking Mrs. Fan why the nanny disappeared. He wanted a nanny, and a strange face was pushed in front of him. Everyone said: Isn't this nanny
Later, he really only remembered this nanny.
If my aunt hadn't been found, if she hadn't told him those clues, Fan Yuan wouldn't have known about those old things that had been buried for many years.
His mother doesn't want to die at all.
At that time, the mansion treated her as the daughter of a guilty minister very badly, even Fan Yuancai was not liked by her own father, and her mother knew that if she left, the only son would be without support.
So, how could she kill herself
His Majesty gave him hands, so Fan Yuan began to investigate bit by bit.
He found the maid and servant who were betrayed by the Fan family more than ten years ago, and finally pieced together the truth of the year.
At the beginning, when her mother returned to the mansion, she wanted to ask her loving husband to help defend her family, but what she got was suspicious eyes from the mansion.
They suspected that she had lost her virginity. After all, everyone in the capital knew what kind of temperament the Huns were.
Even if only one old servant died of illness beside her, even if there was no trace on her body.
Mother's situation gradually deteriorated.
But even so, she is still working hard to live.
Until that day, somehow, she fell into the water.
At that time, she was still struggling, and she caught some driftwood that came from nowhere in the water, and asked for help from the people on the shore.
The loyal nanny could not know how to drink water, so she went to find someone to rescue her in desperation. On the way, she met his father.
Lord Fan sealed the garden and no one was allowed to enter or leave.
The nanny was gagged and locked in the woodshed.
That night, no one was left in the garden except Fan Yuancai's biological mother.
She could only hug the driftwood, helplessly waiting for death in the cold water.
On the second day, the news that Mrs. Qiu committed suicide in grief because of the heavy responsibility of her natal family was spread.
Everyone who came to express their condolences should comfort the red-eyed Mr. Fan, "Don't be too sad."
But how could anyone know that it was him who blocked his wife's final life.
The nanny had long been released on the contract of prostitution, and she was not considered a servant of the Fan family. Master Fan was not easy to do it, and was worried that she would be spotted. At this moment, she developed a high fever.
No one gave her medicine, so she was locked in the firewood room, and she was burned unconscious.
When she woke up again, she was already in a daze.
Master Fan, who had originally made up his mind to stop doing nothing, hesitated. The stupid nanny was released from the mansion without notifying her family to pick it up, so she just ran away without a trace. The family members came back.
When she was by Mrs. Qiu's side, she was only in her early thirties, but after all these years of wasting, she looked like an old woman in her sixties.
The family didn't know what happened to her, they only knew that when she saw the water's edge, she always rushed in desperately, and finally murmured to save the mother.
If His Majesty hadn't sent him to the Lang's Mansion, perhaps in this life, he would just be a mediocre dude, and until he died, he wouldn't know how much wronged his biological mother had suffered.
The man helped his wife finish the work, and was going to continue to work. He shaved his hair and went out, "Mother, I'm going to work. When the sun is gone, you can go in and rest. It's very cold today."
The old lady closed her eyes and smiled wrinkledly. She didn't know if she understood. She stretched out her hand tremblingly. The man put his hand into his mother's in cooperation, and she patted it with a smile, "Don't be afraid." Ah, just a pat."
"Hey, mother, I'm leaving."
Fan Yuan just looked at this scene. At that time, he was still young, but after trying hard to recall, he seemed to recall that he was held in a warm embrace. When he woke up at night, the woman who couldn't see clearly would Walking back and forth with him in his arms, coaxing him softly:
"Xiao Langjun, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the nurse is here, don't be afraid..."
After coaxing him well and gently putting him on the bed, she would pat his hands, "Just pat..."
The worker was finishing packing up, but in a blink of an eye, he saw tears on the face of the master, and his eyes widened in surprise, "Mr.
Fan Yuan closed his eyes, stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears on his face, and said in a calm voice, "It's fine, take care of it."
He got up, and the servants on the side quickly followed behind.
The job looked strangely at the owner getting into the carriage and leaving, scratching his head, why is it like this every time, when he came, sat in the front and left without doing anything.
On the carriage, Fan Yuan looked at the sky and said loudly, "Go to the Prime Minister's Mansion."
He will seek justice for his mother.
Let the person who killed her get the retribution he deserved.
****
"Why don't you leave yet?"
After Zhao Shuqing watered his precious flowers, he turned his head and saw the luxuriously dressed emperor sitting on the swing, swinging leisurely.
"I am waiting for guests."
Holding the book in his hands, Wei Mingyan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "I entered the household department, so I thought of a way to make money?"
Zhao Shuqing put down the homemade sprinkler speechlessly, "Then the cotton and potatoes are not earning enough?"
"These are all to be handed over to the common people. I will not take for myself something that could have saved the lives of thousands of people for a little money."
The emperor retracted his legs on the ground, "Zhang Yuan, come here and give me a push."
Zhang Yuan on the side immediately ran over in small steps, pushing the emperor sitting on the swing one after another, and whispering flattery while pushing, "Your Majesty, is this strength enough?"
"Well, comfortable."
Wei Mingyan threw the book on the stone table casually, leaned back slightly, and said with an idea, "No, Shuqing, if you think of something that can make you a lot of money, I will seal you, um, seal it." What are you doing..."
Zhao Shuqing's originally indifferent expression paused, and he turned his head indifferently, his eyes were full of calm, but there was a small wave of excitement in his heart.
Lord! !
Lord Feng! !
Is the correct route to the pinnacle of life finally come
Wei Mingyan didn't say anything, looked at Zhao Shuqing's gaze and nodded, "Yes, it's exactly what you think."
Hit the road!
Zhao Shuqing watered the flowers a little faster.
It's rare that the ancient emperor had a day of empathy.
Let him think about it, what modern things can make money by moving here.
He was thinking calmly on this side, while the emperor sitting on the swing on the other side was already thinking about it, "In the future, there will be Fan Yuancai and Lang Su guarding the country outside, and Shuqing inside and you will settle the treasury. Just take Jiu'er to play around."
Zhao Shuqing, immersed in the joy of being crowned king, silently laughed at this whimsical ancient emperor in his heart.
He also settled the treasury, and he didn't care about it as soon as the throne was in hand.
And Lang Su and Fan Yuancai, one of them is more unreliable than the other, and the other is more careless than the other, guarding the country? It's better to guard yourself first.
Thinking about it, he watered more briskly.
That's right, he is a modern person after all, wouldn't it be easy to crush the ancients in IQ
Well, it's decided, when he becomes a prince, he won't do anything, just wait to instruct others to work.
Yes, this is the correct route.
