Nongmen Shenjue

Another half a month later, I finally waited for news from Qiuling County.

During this period, the various factions in the court kept fighting, but there was no county king who fell into a big tumble like Duan County king, but they fought with each other, and the people under them were bound to lose.

Chen Shiliu came to announce the good news that his wife was pregnant and the fetal image was stable.He was about to become a father for the first time, Chen Shiliu was overjoyed, and even specially invited a table of wine, including Zhai Junyang, Wei Yangyu and others, but Mu Qingyan didn't go.Earlier, he deliberately kept a low profile and told Chen Shiliu not to mention that he was in the capital when he was away, so he didn't plan to go out now.

There was one other thing, which was really unexpected.

Since Jingxian went to Hanye Temple, she has been guarding the door and closing the door. In the past, she stopped enjoying flowers and banquets with others, as if to restrain Meng Lang and change her mind.This was just an uninformed outsider's joke, and seeing someone who was close to him in the past was turned away and ridiculed, Mu Qingyan knew this well.

Unexpectedly, in less than a month, Jing Xian returned to Liu's house!

Of course, the Liu family is willing to accept her back, but they will never allow her to use her current name. It is impossible for the Liu family to admit that "Jing Xianhuazhu" is the daughter of the Liu family.Externally, Jingxian left the capital and went to find another clean place to become a monk and practice.

Jing Xian, who returned to Liu's family, was no longer Liu Bin's daughter, but a girl from Liu's family, who changed her name to "Liu Qingran".

The outside world knew of the existence of this woman, not because the Liu family intended to publicize it, but because the news could not be concealed.

Liu Qingran, as a girl from far away from the Liu family, first came to the capital for a short time, suddenly flew up a branch and turned into a phoenix, and married Deng Xuzhi, the only son of the minister of rites.

Deng Xu's age is 35-[-], this is not his first marriage, Liu Qingran started as a second wife.Even so, Liu Qingran was only a girl from far away from the Liu family in name, and his father was a scholar to put it nicely, but in fact he could only rely on the power of the Liu family in the capital.Even if it is a girl from the Liu family, after all, she is far away and her status is really low. In the marriage market that pays attention to the right marriage, being able to enter the servant's mansion as a stepwife is a high priority.

In fact, if it wasn't for Deng Xuzhi's own intention, the Deng family would definitely not be happy with this marriage.

Deng Xuzhi is the only son. Although he had a first wife earlier, he only left behind a daughter, who is 13 years old and is talking about marriage.It's been five or six years since his first wife passed away. Deng Xuzhi was quite picky, and never married again.Therefore, marrying a little-known girl from the Liu family is really news.

However, although Deng Xuzhi is cautious in marrying a wife, he is not a person who cultivates his morals.

On the contrary, this Deng Xuzhi has been intelligent since he was a child, and he is excellent in both poetry and painting.There are several famous concubines around him, and the maidservants who are not famous are all charming and charming, and without exception, they are literate and proficient.

Deng Xuzhi married Liu Qingran because of his beauty and talent.

Just because Jingxian's reputation is not very good, he changed his identity as a compromise.

It is also due to Deng Xu's stubborn nature. If he refuses to marry, it will be useless to anyone.The Deng family is also anxious, not to mention that there is no hostess in the family, and it is inconvenient to socialize, just say that there are nearly forty people, but there is no son to inherit the incense, isn't this going to be extinct!This time Deng Xuzhi wanted to marry the daughter of the Liu family, so of course "Liu Qingran" knew the details, and he didn't know how the Deng family discussed it, and finally agreed.

Many people are interested in this, the Liu family and the Deng family have never been in contact with each other, so they suddenly got married.

The daughter of the Liu family became the princess of Kangjun, but the Deng family was close to the king of Zhuangjun.

The Deng family is also a big family, and Deng Xuzhi's uncle is a great official in the frontier, the governor of the second rank, and his uncle is also an official to the fourth rank magistrate, and all the sons and nephews in the family are educated.Although Deng Xuzhi didn't seek an official position, it wasn't that he lacked talent, but that he didn't have the ambition. He had participated in the palace examination, if he wanted to, his family would have found a job for him.

The reason why the Deng family let him go was because of his outstanding talent, he was well-known among the literary circles, which was beneficial to the family.

Chen Shiliu came to announce the good news earlier, and he muttered about this matter: "I didn't expect that Jingxian would marry someone, but he married Deng Xuzhi from the Deng family. Could it be that Duan County King has fallen, and Kang County King wants... Tsk, It doesn't look like it."

Chen Shiliu didn't know about Jing Xian's real life experience.

Even about Jing Xian being the daughter of the Liu family, Chen Shiliu only found out after Jing Xian returned to the Liu family.Changing the name and changing the surname is to hide the truth from ordinary people. Who can not know the true identity of "Liu Qingran" from a family with real roots.It stands to reason that Jing Xian's background is not low, as Liu Bin's daughter, it is quite appropriate to marry Deng Xuzhi as a step-wife, but her reputation is damaged.

Seriously speaking, what Jing Xian did just cut off her way to be a regular wife, like privately many people want to take her as a concubine, or privately raise her as a foreign house, how can such a proud person like Jing Xian want to ?Even reciting poems and feasting with others, she is the one who picks people, never anyone picks her.

It was her extremely high posture and she was indeed talented and beautiful, which made Deng Xuzhi so obsessed with her, that she was even willing to marry her back home.

However, if that's all, the Deng family will not let go so easily.

Mu Qingyan didn't need to guess, knowing that Jing Xian's sudden change of mind must have something to do with the letter in his mother tablet.She hated the Liu family so much, but she was willing to go back to the Liu family and marry an old man as her successor as a daughter of the Liu family.

This is just the first step of being free. She wants to destroy the Liu family.

Doesn't the Liu family know?It's just that the Liu family didn't expect that Princess Kangjun would be confused?

Neither, but they are powerless to stop it.

They did not dare to defy King Kangjun.

This marriage was a bit hasty, as there had been vague news earlier, now that the wedding was approaching, and the affairs of Prince Duan had calmed down, people had time to care about other things.

The wedding is in August, very close.

During this period of time, the Liu family was very busy in order to arrange the dowry. "Liu Qingran" has a special status. How can the Liu family be happy, but they dare not be perfunctory, and they will bear it no matter how hard they face each other.Throughout the Liu family, there was no flames of war, but dark waves were surging.

On the day when Jingxian got married, Qiuling County sent news.

The news is that Gao Tian brought it in, as usual, in a small sealed bamboo tube.

The night was dark, most people had already slept peacefully, Mu Qingyan and Wen Jixue also fell asleep.It's just that the news from Qiuling County was unusual, so Gao Tian didn't dare to delay and reported it outside the window.

Wen Jixue woke up immediately, directly opened the window, and connected the bamboo tube.

Mu Qingyan then woke up, blew on the torch, and lit the candlestick.

Wen Jixue moved quickly, even though the words on the paper were as thin as mosquitoes and densely packed, his eyesight was not damaged.It was almost three lines at a glance, and when he saw the end part, his complexion changed instantly, and he grabbed the palm of the hand and broke off a corner of the table.

Seeing him like this, one knows that something important must have been found out, perhaps, the identity of "Cai Junchi" has finally become clear.

"Who is it?" Mu Qingyan asked softly.

Wen Jixue was full of tyranny, took a few deep breaths, suppressed his emotions, but didn't say a word, just handed him the paper in his hand.

Mu Qingyan took the paper, leaned in front of the lamp, and finally saw the content clearly——

The team from Qiuling County got better results than expected, and the long-term pursuit was not in vain.Originally they guessed that the second child of the Chang family might have passed away, and it was true.The second son of the Chang family died seven years ago. However, the mother-in-law of the Chang family is still alive. Although she is in her sixties, she is still in good health.

In this way, it is natural to inquire about it from the Chang family's mother-in-law.

This woman was shrewd when she was young. It was she who persuaded the three brothers of the Chang family to split up because of the oil workshop. , Find a better way out for the family.

She still remembers that the Chang family adopted a distant relative named "Liu Sheng".

She was young then, her eldest son was three years younger than Liu Sheng, and she had a younger son who was still pregnant.The Chang family had some wealth at that time, but it had a large population.The oldest family has seven or eight families, and the third child has four members. Not to mention that there will be more people in the future, but now that these children are older, they will get a lot of money when they marry.

The three sisters-in-law discussed in private, guessing the origin of "Liu Sheng".

My parents-in-law know that if there is no reason or benefit, how can white-collar workers keep it alone.

Vaguely, some clues were found, which seemed to be related to the Songling Mansion.

The mother-in-law of the Chang family thought in the wrong direction, mistakenly thinking that it was an illegitimate child from the Cai family, and it was not easy to take it home, so she was fostered in their house.Considering that it was not for nothing, and the Cai family was richer than theirs, the sisters-in-law didn't speak, so she didn't say anything.

It's just that I didn't expect that my own child didn't go to school, but he got a foreigner who didn't have a household name to go to the academy.

She is jealous in her heart, who doesn't know how to read well.

As guessed, when Liu Sheng first entered the academy, he followed Lin Bohan.Liu Sheng wanted to be famous in his studies. When he arrived in Tongshan, he knew the name of Tongshan Academy, so he was not tempted.Chang's family often delivered sesame oil to Bohan Lin's house, so Liu Sheng followed him whenever he could, looking for an opportunity to show off.Bohan Lim liked him a little when he saw that he was quick-witted and thoughtful, and he had something to say.After contacting him twice more, Lin Bohan thought about it and kept him by his side to be a book boy.

In name, he is a book boy, but in fact he is learning to read and write with Lin Bohan.

After that, Liu Sheng seldom appeared in Chang's house, and the old neighbors did not remember him.

But the mother-in-law of the Chang family remembered it very clearly.

In the eyes of the Chang family's mother-in-law, Liu Sheng was really lucky.Fortunately, he was appreciated by Bohan Lin and stayed by his side to teach.Two years later, Lin Bohan was fighting against others, and happened to have an accident at home, he resigned from the library and returned home, and took Liu Sheng away.

The Chang family didn't know about this matter until late, they had been away for more than a month, and someone in the family mentioned it by chance, and the Chang family's parents-in-law only talked about it.

Liu Sheng was only raised in Chang's family in name, and Cai's family paid for food and clothing.Since Liu Sheng went to the academy, he didn't live in Chang's house. The money and goods that Cai's family sent to Tongzhou were divided into two parts, one for Chang's house and one for Liu Sheng.Naturally, Liu Sheng wanted to go with Lin Bohan, but he also told the Cai family that the Chang family had nothing to do with it.

The mother-in-law of the Chang family also said that although Liu Sheng left with Lin Bohan, he did not go to the Lin family.

Lin Bohan was good at calligraphy and painting, but Liu Sheng wanted to take the imperial examinations for his official career.Lin Bohan felt that Liu Sheng was indeed a good material for studying, and it was a pity to bury him, so he planned to introduce him to a friend, who happened to drop him off on his way back to his hometown.

The Chang family's wife still remembers that Bohan Lin's friend's surname is "Gongsun", which is a compound surname, which is easy to remember.

Lin Bohan had known about Tongzhou by the way when he was in Tongzhou, and later he also went to his hometown to investigate.Now that his friend named Gongsun is mentioned, he can quickly find it from the information.

The paper is just a brief overview: Gongsun Wen, a native of Yunpu County, died 32 years ago.He has three sons, the eldest son, Gongsun Mao, died young and had no children; the second son, Gongsun Fu, died five years ago, and the third son, Gongsun Liang, abandoned his pen and joined the army.
