Jinghong Building

Chapter 318 The goddaughter of the He family (two chapters in one)

A month later, Dong Jinzhen joined the Ministry of Works' Construction and Cleaning Office and served as the Minister of State.

Since He Ran entered Beijing, the female officials under her command have always been very eye-catching.

Needless to say, He Xiulong is not the case. Even Nie Lian, who is far away in Jin, has attracted a lot of discussion. Some scholars who failed the official exams have even made a special trip from the capital to Pingding, and want to compete with Nie Lian's poems and essays.

Of course, after they calmed down, they knew they were reckless.

The heavy rains lasted for several days caused the house that had been disrepaired for many years to collapse. As a pacification master, Nie Lian was struggling on the front line of rescue, sweating profusely and had no time to pay attention to them.

After entering Beijing, only five female officials were added to the two official examinations, and these five female officials are still only interns and have not been officially appointed.

In other words, Dong Jin was the first female official appointed by He Ran after entering Beijing, and he was a sixth-ranked official!

Some people only guessed from Dong Jinzhen's surname that she came from the home of Dong Qiying, the former Minister of Works. Some women even remember that the Dong family seemed to have a granddaughter, and they are almost this age now.

Although it is separated by a river, there is always some news that can be transmitted to Jinling.

As soon as Dong Xi returned to Jinling, the news that Dong Jinzhen had taken office reached Dong Ruoying's ears.

He was furious.

Because his career was not glorious, and there was no seed of studying among the descendants of the Dong family, so to date, none of his four sons and more than a dozen grandsons have been an official.

He was anxious to find a way to open up the inheritance. As long as his descendants learned the unique skills of family traditions, they could become an official in the court even if they failed the imperial examination.

But now, the things he was unable to get was easily obtained by Dong Jinzhen, the little bitch.

How could he tolerate this tone?

Today, what else does Dong Ruoying not understand?

He underestimated Dong Jinzhen that dead girl!

When Dong Ruoying was sure that Dong Jinzhen was in the Dong family, she had never learned the skill of creating tricks.

Although Dong Ruoying is not good at learning skills, he has also taught her all his talents to her descendants.

But the women are excluded.

It's not just targeting Dong Jinzhen.

But whether it is his daughter or granddaughter, they all have no qualifications to learn these.

When Dong Jinzhen was in the Dong family, he knew nothing about these things at all.

Who is He Ran?

Dong Ruoying has never received any competition and has heard of it.

It is said that the top scorer in the official exam is still internship, not to mention that Dong Jinzhen has not even participated in the official exam.

So Dong Jinzhen must have really caught up in He Ran's eyes, and He Ran saw her talent.

If you can join the Ministry of Industry or the Training and Construction Department, do you still need to guess?

Dong Jinzhen opened up the inheritance that originally belonged to the descendants of the Dong family. Not only did she open it, she also learned it!

Now Dong Jinzhen, just like her grandfather Dong Qiying, has allowed those in power to see his (her) amazing talent!

Thinking that all the things that originally belonged to him were learned by Dong Jinzhen, Dong Ruoying was so angry that she vomited an old mouthful of blood.

Why? Those who clearly belong to him and his descendants.

Dong Qiying died, and Dong Qiying's son was also dead. Although there was no male at the eldest house, this inheritance was still stolen by the eldest house.

He kept the four boxes containing inheritance for decades and studied them for decades.

He smashed it with an iron hammer and chopped it with an axe. If he hadn't been worried about the things inside being destroyed, he would have used even black gunpowder.

But in the end, it was all empty.

The little orphan he never took seriously not only made him foolishly, but also brought those inheritances to He Ran.

If he had known this, he would have been eradicated.

Unfortunately, he woke up too late.

Dong Ruoying was so angry that she couldn't get sick.

Of course, the new emperor also heard the news that Dong Ruoying could hear.

However, Dong Ruoying heard what her children and grandchildren said when she came back, but the new emperor saw it in the memorial.

Dong Ruoying, who had already retired, was participated by her former political enemies.

This time, it was no longer a collusion with bandits, but a collusion with He Ran.

Fu Yansheng's son still had to take the official exam before he could become an official, but Dong Ruoying's granddaughter could become an official directly, and the starting point was not low.

He Ran attached so much importance to Dong Ruoying that he valued his granddaughter so much.

Dong Ruoying, this is definitely a spy hidden among the imperial officials.

Even the fact that Dong Ruoying returned home after resigning, she became evidence that he, a spy, would hide for a long time.

There were not many officials who retired, but the court did not have the rigid regulations that officials had to return to their hometowns. There were also many officials who retired did not return to their hometowns until they died.

Why did Dong Ruoying come back?

Could he be able to calculate and calculate that the emperor is going to move the capital?

He is not a living god, so of course he can't calculate it.

But if Dong Ruoying is He Ran’s spy, then these questions will be answered.

Dong Ruoying has been an official in the court for more than 30 years, so how could he have no political enemies? Now that the person is presenting a memorial, they are also presenting it. Dong Ruoying, who is lying at home, still doesn't know that he is almost drowned by the spitty star.

By the time Dong Ruoying knew about these things, it was too late.

The Jinyiwei confiscated the Dong family, and Dong Ruoying's family was imprisoned.

Dong Ruoying was shocked and scared after being imprisoned. Although he was not a spy, he had a secret and was guilty of being a thief.

If he kills his brother and nephew, and impersonates him, he will be criticized even if he dies.

His good reputation for working hard for decades was over.

And his descendants can't be affected?

It is even more difficult for them to enter the court to become officials.

Dong Ruoying was already ill, and the Jinyiwei imposed severe punishment on him. Dong Ruoying had just enjoyed a torture instrument and died.

After Dong Ruoying's death, the new emperor originally wanted to exile the descendants of the Dong family, but then he thought about it and made up his mind that Dong Ruoying's four sons and more than a dozen grandsons were all executed.

Compared with the dead men, the female family of the Dong family was not much better.

All the female family members under the age of 30 became official traitors, while those over 30 were rewarded as slaves to officials.

When Dong Jinzhen, who was far away in the capital, heard the news, he just smiled and quarreled with several colleagues over whether to add wheels to the original design.

As Dong Ruoying guessed, Dong Jin really caught He Ran's eyes, and He Ran really liked her talent.

Two months later, good news came, the whole area of ​​Shandong Province changed its flag, and every city in Shandong Province, the army flag fluttered in the wind.

At the same time, Wu Ji, who was far away in Shaanxi, met He Shuting again.

Wu Ji met He Shuting at the mansion of He Zhi, the general of Xijing.

He Zhi's surname is He, and it has nothing to do with He Ran. He was the deputy general of Wu Dongming before. After Wu Dongming raised his army, he sent He Zhi to be the general of Xijing and commanded the 50,000 army.

In addition to being Wu Dongming's deputy general, He Zhi also has another relationship with the two families. When Mrs. Wu was nine months pregnant, the son of Tad invaded the territory, and Wu Dongming was seriously injured and almost died.

When the news came, Mrs. Wu fell in a hurry and gave birth prematurely. She had no stable wife. It was He Zhi's wife who delivered Mrs. Wu, and Wu Ji was Mrs. He who delivered the birth.

Mrs. Wu was too frightened. Wu Ji had no milk after she was born. Mrs. He's son was four months old at that time, and Mrs. He still had milk because she was in the military camp and she didn't find a suitable wet nurse until three months later. Before that, Wu Ji has always eaten Mrs. He's milk.

It is also for this reason that Wu Ji respects Mrs. He very much.

On Mrs. He’s fifty birthday, Wu Ji not only gave him a great gift, but also went there in person.

But Wu Ji never expected that he would meet his goddaughter in the He family that Mrs. He had just recognized not long ago, and this goddaughter turned out to be He Shuting.

Wu Ji was shocked, but he did not ask in front of other guests.

After leaving the He family, Wu Ji sent someone to investigate the matter.

After checking, I found out that Mrs. He had returned to Maochuan not long ago.

Although Mrs. He came to Xijing with her husband, her favorite youngest son, He Hao, worked in Maochuan. Not long ago, He Hao's wife gave birth to twins. Mrs. He was overjoyed and went to Maochuan to visit her grandson in person.

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

On the way back, he encountered heavy rain and Mrs. He's carriage was stuck in the mud. Although it was finally pushed out, Mrs. He was also wet from the rain. But the place was not in front of the village or the shop behind the village, and there was not even a place to shelter from the rain.

Later they finally found a dilapidated temple, but Mrs. He and her two maids all had high fevers.

Mrs. He and her group had more than 30 people, but except for these two maids, the others were all men.

The symptoms of the two maids were even worse than that of Mrs. He. They were so feverish that they could not take care of Mrs. He at all.

In addition to them, there is also a girl who sheltered from the rain in the dilapidated temple, and that girl is He Shuting.

He Shuting took the initiative to come over to help. She took care of the master and the two servants all night. After dawn, the entourage invited the doctor to come over, prescribed the prescription and grabbed the medicine, and He Shuting also fed the medicine to them.

After Mrs. He subsided, she learned that He Shuting was also going to Xijing, so she asked her to go with her.

After returning to Xijing, Mrs. He persuaded her husband to recognize He Shuting as her adopted daughter.

Wu Ji was surprised. It was just because He Shuting took care of Mrs. He, so Mrs. He accepted her as her goddaughter?

And He Zhi actually agreed?

You should know that the current northwest is actually the world of Wu.

If it weren't for the concern that he would offend He Ran, it would be impossible for Wu Dongming to become king.

He Zhi is Wu Dongming's confidant. Wu Dongming is like this, and He Zhi's status is also rising.

He Zhi and his wife are both meticulous people. He Shuting is close to showing kindness. Even if she wants to repay her kindness, can’t she give money?

Or tell He Shuting a good marriage and give him a generous dowry.

Why do you need to recognize your goddaughter?

For a family like them, if they really want to recognize their goddaughter, they must also recognize a good match and know the truth.

Wu Ji couldn't figure it out, but he was secretly happy in his heart.

This girl is overwhelmed by her hardships.

With the backer of He Zhi and his wife, He Shuting can not only live a stable life, but also be able to marry as the daughter of the He family in the future.

Wu Ji grew up in the military camp since he was a child and had no sisters at home. The only young women he had contacted was He Shuting.

Thinking of He Shuting's clear eyes as if they were frightened deer, Wu Ji's heart felt sweet.

He Zhi and his wife only have four sons. Mrs. He has always wanted to have a daughter. Now that she has the adopted daughter He Shuting, I think she is reluctant to let her marry early, so she will always stay by her side for an additional year or two.

And he often comes to Xijing, so can he see that cute girl often?

Wu Ji suddenly had expectations.

Unfortunately, Mrs. He’s birthday has passed. What excuse will he have to find next time before going to He’s mansion?

There are different identities. Although he is close to the He family and his wife, he cannot go to the He family often.

That night, Wu Ji suffered from insomnia.

Wu Ji, who had insomnia, didn't know that on the way He Shuting followed Mrs. He to Xijing, she confessed her life experience to Mrs. He.

She comes from the legitimate family of the He family in Zhending. Her father's name is He Wenqing, and her half-sister is He Ran!

Of course, she did not conceal the killing of He Shuming.

Because of the real and fake daughters, He Ran was not close to the He family. In addition, Master He disappeared again, and He Ran never came back after leaving home.

But when she and her younger brother came to join, He Ran took them in and took great care of them.

Unfortunately, just after He Ran entered Beijing, his brother He Shuming found Jinyang and tricked her out and wanted to sell her.

During the argument, she killed He Shuming by mistake.

In order not to cause criticism to her dear elder sister, she fled here in anonymity.

But she is just a weak woman, with a huge world, but she has no place to live.

He Shuting cried and said to Mrs. He, "Madam, please accept me and let me be a maid for you. I don't want monthly money. I only eat a bowl of rice every day. I don't want anything. I just want you to take it in. I."

Mrs. He's face changed drastically. The kind-hearted girl in front of her turned out to be He Ran's real sister!

Mrs. He did not believe He Shuting's words, but she did not believe them.

She returned to Xijing and asked her husband to send someone to inquire about the situation.

He Zhi had a close confidant who was Zhending. The close confidant wrote a letter to Zhending’s relative that day, and soon received a reply.

He Ran has two younger brothers, He Shuming and He Shuqiao, and her sister is He Shuting.

All three of them are not in Zhending and do not know where to go.

He Zhi asked his friend in Jinyang to help him check it out, and found the martial arts master He Shuting mentioned. The martial arts master has a special identity. He is from the Ran army. He never accepts disciples. All the disciples he has taken are It has something to do with Ran Jun, and one of his favorite apprentices is He Shuqiao.

He Shuqiao has an older sister named He Shuting, who disappeared not long ago.

Because of He Ran, many people followed her surname He, but no one doubted the identity of He Shuqiao's siblings. They all thought that they were just like those people, who changed their surnames to have a good future.

All of this can match, and He Shuting's words and deeds can prove that she has been a lady from a noble family and can't pretend.

And she said nothing about the matter of the Zhending He family.

At this point, He Zhi and his wife no longer doubted.

After discussing, the couple decided to recognize He Shuting as their goddaughter.

Wu Dongming and He Ran have formed an alliance, and it is still unknown what the future trend will be.

But it is absolutely right to keep He Shuting by his side.

If Wu Dongming and He Ran have been in good faith, then they took He Shuting in, which is to show their goodwill to He Ran.

And if Wu Dongming and He Ran turn against each other, He Shuting will not be a bad thing in their hands.

If a person is still the same person, it depends on how to use it.
