The Second Journey of the Playboy

This time Zhou An is wearing a boy named Zhou An. He is 15 years old this year and is the eldest son of his family. He has two younger brothers, a nine-year-old named Zhou Dong and a seven-year-old named Zhou Yuan.

Zhou An was not his parents' biological son, but was picked up in the wild when he was four or five years old.

At that time, a hunter went hunting in the mountains, and met little Zhou An who was unconscious by a river.

Although the clothes on Zhou An's body were dirty, it could be seen that the material was very good.Orion woke up Zhou An, fed him something to eat, and asked him where he came from.

It stands to reason that he should have remembered something when he was four or five years old, but Zhou An was particularly at a loss, he didn't know what to ask, and he didn't remember anything about the past.

Seeing this, Orion had no choice but to kindly take him to report to the official.

County magistrate Zhou Haoran also felt that maybe this was a child from a wealthy family who was abducted and trafficked.It's just that the child doesn't remember anything, and secondly, there is no token on him, and no one in the county government reported the loss of the child.

Seeing Zhou An's cleverness, Zhou Haoran liked him very much. He gave Orion ten taels of silver, took Zhou An back home, and raised him as his own son.

They have been married for four years and have nothing to do.There has always been a folk saying about recruiting younger brothers.Anyway, there is no shortage of food at home.This child is so cute and cute, so he might as well keep him by his side. If he meets the biological parents of this child, maybe he will have a good relationship.Of course, this kind of hope is very small. A four- or five-year-old child who can't remember anything will grow up a few years later, and he will not look the same as when he was a child. Even if the parents come to the child, they may not be able to recognize it.

Sure enough, within two months of his parents adopting Zhou An, Zhou An's adoptive mother, the magistrate's wife, became pregnant.

Both the husband and wife felt that these two sons might have been recruited by Zhou An. Although they later gave birth to two more sons, their parents treated Zhou An as if they had already given birth.

Father Zhou came from a poor family and had no connections. Ever since he became a Jinshi, he has been here as a county magistrate for several years.Fortunately, he has no big ambitions.

Well, even if there is, it is for nothing.Anyway, Father Zhou is quite open-minded.In addition to handling cases, if you have nothing to do, you can watch the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court, and the clouds outside the window.

However, due to unforeseen circumstances, when Zhou An was in his teens, Father Zhou got involved in a case.

This case actually has nothing to do with Zhou Haoran.After he took office, it can't be said that Doc has been dedicated to his duties and conscientiously, but at least his hands and feet are clean. He usually only takes some filial piety within the rules, and has never taken what he shouldn't have or done what he shouldn't have done.Anyway, to sum it up in one sentence, I have never done anything corrupt and perverted.

It's just that, sometimes in the officialdom, it's unavoidable to suffer from certain things.

After this case was settled, Caishikou cracked a lot of heads. Father Zhou was lucky. After going up and down, he just lost his official position. Fortunately, his life was saved, and the family packed up and went back to their hometown.

Zhou Haoran's hometown is in a village on the outskirts of Beijing. The Zhou family was originally from a poor family. The most promising member of the Zhou family is Zhou Haoran. After he became the county magistrate, he also saved some family property. A lot, but fortunately, my hometown also has dozens of acres of land. , the family can be regarded as living and working in peace and contentment in their hometown.

In any case, nothing is better than nothing.

His father is usually at home, personally giving lectures to his three sons.The whole family lived happily and peacefully.

This year, Zhou An was selected as a scholar.Naturally, the family will invite the clan members and some respected elders in the village to come over for a drink.

At the banquet, Zhou An was given a few extra drinks, and when he returned to the room, he accidentally kowtowed at the door, and as a result, he remembered everything from the past.

He was already five years old when he was picked up by his adoptive parents, and he began to remember things.He still remembered that he was Wei Yang, the eldest son of Wei Qian, Marquis of Anyang, and his mother was Yang Jialin, the daughter of Yang Quan, the servant of the Ministry of Rites.There is also an uncle on it, Yang Jiaze.

He followed his father to watch the fireworks on August [-]th, and was knocked out by his father's long-term follower, Changgui. Knock on the stone, all the previous things are forgotten.

But he knew who the person who killed him was.

How did he know?

The villains talk too much.

After Chang Gui knocked him out, he handed him over to someone who put him in a sack.He woke up not long after he was in the sack, and he heard the man say, "Oh, kid, don't blame me, blame you for blocking your second brother's way and obstructing people's eyes. We also use money to do things .”

His second brother was born to his father's aunt, Aunt Zheng.

Aunt Zheng is a good concubine, the daughter of a county magistrate from another place.One year when his father was away on business, he passed by the county where Aunt Zheng's father was an official. Somehow, he and Aunt Zheng saw each other right.Then when his father came back, he brought his new concubine back.

Later, Aunt Zheng gave birth to a son, Wei Yu.

Then, there was the matter of his abduction.

Zhou An quickly told his father about it.

When Zhou Haoran heard this, his eyes narrowed. This was a matter of private affairs.Tell your son, don't rush to the Hou's mansion to recognize relatives, but inquire first.

He raised Zhou An since he was a child, and he always regarded Zhou An as his own son. The relationship between father and son was deep, so he naturally stood by Zhou An.

"Your grandfather, he will be gone before we return to Beijing." Father Zhou gave his son a vaccination first.The minister of the Ministry of Rites is considered an important minister in the court, and his news naturally spread quickly in the officialdom.

As a result, after inquiring, there was no good news.

His mother disappeared two years after he disappeared, and his uncle Yang Jiaze only had a reputation as a scholar, and he didn't even pass the exams. He was originally a small official in the Ministry of Rites relying on his grandfather's relationship.As a result, he was raped shortly after his grandfather passed away, and now, his uncle's family has also gone to the suburbs of Beijing.But it was a big deal with Zhou's family, they were in the western suburbs, and my uncle's house was in the eastern suburbs.

The original Aunt Zheng has now been brought upright and has become the successor Mrs. Anyanghou.Aunt Zheng's natal sister was selected into the palace and became a concubine. Now she has given birth to the sixth prince and is named Concubine Li.

Zhou An's second younger brother, Wei Yu, was named Anyang Hou Shizi last year.

Zhou An was dumbfounded when he heard it, what should we do?

At this time, Zhou An crossed over.

The original owner's wish was to seek justice for himself and to deal with those who wronged him and his mother.

"Father, I'm going to go to my uncle's house, and ask about the situation back then." Zhou An thought for a while and said.

"Go." Zhou Haoran thought for a while and nodded.

According to various evidences, after Zhou An disappeared, it was Aunt Zheng's mother and son who benefited.Only the mother and son are more likely to buy off Anyanghou's side.

But there may be other secrets, so let's talk to Zhou An's family first to identify the enemy first.

Zhou An took his servant, Mo Liu, to Yangjiazhuang in the eastern suburbs.

"Old man, you are being polite. Let me inquire. Does Mr. Yang, the former servant of the Ministry of Rites, live in this area?" When he arrived in the village, Zhou An asked an old man who lived there.

"Then, that's the big willow tree." The old man glanced at Zhou An, hesitated, and said.

"Who are you?" the old man asked.

"My father knew Mr. Yang before, and he asked Mr. Yang for advice on articles. We only returned to Beijing after receiving Mr. Yang's advice. I heard that Mr. Yang passed away. My father asked me to come and see." Zhou An smiled slightly. replied.

"Oh, the Yang family has been miserable since Master Yang passed away." The old man shook his head and left.

Zhou An sighed in his heart, who said otherwise.

"Speaking of this family, alas, the children and grandchildren are also useless." Looking at Zhou An with a sad face, a passing aunt explained. "Their family was originally married to the Marquis of Anyang, you know, the Marquis of Anyang is now Master Yang's son-in-law."

Zhou An nodded, saying in his heart that I know.

"Anyang Marquis Mansion, but the founding Marquis Mansion, how many generations have been passed down, how many generations of Marquis Lords are the emperor's confidantes, ordinary people can't climb it! Do you know?" the aunt said again.

Zhou An nodded and signaled the other party with his eyes, please continue.

To be honest, the other party's speech was very unpleasant, but there should be some new information in it.

"Guess what, later, after Master Yang passed away, not long after, Master Yang's daughter, Mrs. Anyang Hou, also went. But it stands to reason that even if his daughter is gone, the two families are also relatives, right? Master Yang is gone. , Mr. Yang’s son is not up to date, he is just a petty official, can this be seen in the imperial capital? As the old saying goes, in the imperial capital, even if a brick is dropped, it can hit a third-rank official.”

Zhou An nodded.This sentence is indeed true, it is the case.

"If you're smart, don't you have to maintain the relationship between the two families? As you said, that Yang Jiaze is useless, bastard! He went straight to the door of the Anyang Marquis Mansion and took the dowry list back to his sister. The dowry. The dowry is coming back, isn’t it the meaning of breaking off the relationship, this time, it will be completely broken with the Anyang Hou Mansion. Sigh, let him do away with a good relative.” The aunt shook her head.

Zhou Anxin said, if you don't want the dowry back, why don't you leave it to others?Wouldn't it be nice for my uncle to come back and leave it for his own children?

When the grandfather was alive, the Yang family was in full swing, and he knew that the dowry for his daughter must be generous, but the Yang family fell into disarray later on, and it is conceivable that there were few ways to make money.Uncle has been dismissed from office again, and the family has no income, so he must want to get the big money back.

From the uncle's point of view, the nephew disappeared for no apparent reason, and the elder sister also died in the back house. Could it be that the Anyang Houfu still has some affection for the Yang family?

It's better for the two parties to tear each other apart, and let people know that the two families are particularly ignorant, and the other party will be a little scrupulous when acting.

If you want Zhou An to say, it's good, it's wonderful!Need to croak!

He just likes such a pure and unaffected uncle!

Doing tasks, upgrading and fighting monsters, encountering enemies is not scary, there are always more ways than difficulties.What I'm afraid of is meeting pig teammates, who can't figure it out.

Zhou An felt that maybe, he could partner with his uncle to stir up trouble in the imperial capital.

The author has something to say: Today is even later.Every time I finish writing a story, I don't know what to write for the next story.Selection is so difficult!

This is the update on the 29th, wait for my 30D update on the [-]th!
