Chapter 221 Why aren’t you?
June.
The new emperor ascended the throne amidst blood and gore.
After that, there were no more disturbances in the court.
Prince Li committed many evil deeds and the evidence of his crimes was conclusive. After his failure, he managed to escape from the capital. In his fiefdom, he angrily denounced the previous emperor for his incompetence and for entrusting such an important task to an ignorant child. He said that if things continued like this, the Southern Jin would surely find an opportunity to annex the country. He used this rhetoric to deceive the people into supporting him as king.
But unfortunately, Prince Li’s fiefdom was near Chiling Pass.
It is neither far nor near from Honglu County.
It is enough to make its rapid development process seem miraculous.
If Xue Yongan had risen up in rebellion, the people might have rushed in.
Prince Li?
Sorry, they don’t know each other!
At the same time, the court was facing a major purge.
All of Prince Li's followers were thrown into prison, while centrists like those in the Duke's Mansion were transferred to idle positions.
Duke Xue planned and calculated, but he did not expect that the ninth prince would ascend the throne. He hurriedly sent a letter to Honglu County, saying that his daughter-in-law was jealous of his nephew's talent and tried to take advantage of his nephew's reputation. Now she has been punished to guard the ancestral temple for a long time. He asked his nephew when he would be free to go back and visit?
Xue Yongan ignored him.
As soon as the letter was delivered to Chen Chunxing, she used it as straw paper to roast sweet potatoes.
Summer harvest is a good day.
What she cared more about than what was happening in the capital was the people's stomachs.
It's a time when natural disasters and man-made calamities are constantly occurring. God sent her here. She should do some serious work before returning to the underworld, right?
Letting sweet potato seedlings spread all over the country is probably the first thing!
——
Another year is coming to an end.
The turbulent situation finally calmed down completely.
Although the Empress did not gain power, Gan, a loyal official in the military, was still valued.
There is no use for scholars in troubled times.
This is the lesson that Jiu learned in the Shen family.
Didn't you see the third son of the Shen family always getting beaten? He wanted a general, not a weakling!
Naturally, all the unjust cases that had been hastily settled because of Prince Li’s Mansion were reopened.
The first one is the Earl of Camping’s Palace.
Yang Yucheng personally went to the Shen family, hoping that Shen Chunxing could take Shen Mingqiu back to the capital.
"Who said we are descendants of the Jiang family?"
"You aren't?" Yang Yucheng was puzzled and blurted out, "Then you collected the things so quickly. Does that mean I've been delivering to the wrong people all this time?"
Chen Chunxing chuckled and took Yang Yucheng out of the house and came to the bustling food street.
Point toward the crowd.
"Did you see that little girl with the red armband catching spitters?"
Yang Yucheng looked at Wu Min and felt that this girl had a heroic spirit.
Well, they are very ruthless in issuing fines.
"Is she the direct descendant of the Jiang family?"
"no."
“…”
Chen Chunxing smiled again and pointed towards the entrance of the bookstore.
"Did you see that kid who was drawing in public and said he wanted to be a cartoonist?"
Wu Qing has recently fallen in love with the new gadgets in the market, and even took an old man as his master, which has caused Diao a headache for a while.
Yang Yucheng stared at the abstract painting in front of him, his voice trembling: "Don't tell me he is the direct descendant of the Jiang family?"
This time, Shen Chunxing finally nodded, gloating and saying, "I'm looking forward to how you can guide a dropout child back on the right track."
“…”
Yang Yucheng's nose is not a nose, and his face is not a face.
He is just an old subordinate of Mr. Jiang, not his son, so why should he discipline the child?!
In short.
In the end, Yang Yucheng didn't leave because Wu Min was on a blind date recently and couldn't spare the time to go to the capital.
And Wu Qing is also a sister slave.
As for who to go on a blind date with, well, that requires mentioning the far-sighted old lady of the Shen family.
Previously, Diao went to Yangjiatun and brought a cook to the school.
At that time, she was planning to introduce him to Wu Min.
That girl is at the age of getting married and she has lost her parents. Doesn't that mean her elders need to keep an eye on her?
Wu Min didn't have this intention at first, but Chen Chunxing threw all the jobs, big and small, to her, and most of the business in the narrow village was food.
Although the underworld army can come up with countless recipes, only a few of them can really cook.
Wu Min couldn't possibly ask Magistrate Xue for everything, could he? He could only go to the academy to find Meng Xu.
After a few interactions, the two of them really hit it off.
In response, Chen Chunxing criticized the old lady: "It's not allowed to marry before the age of 18. You are harming her!"
Diao thought her granddaughter was farting.
She's already an old maid at 18!
But if her granddaughter is willing, she can get married later, even at the age of 28, the old lady won’t mind!
Xue Yongan quickly covered Chen Chunxing with his hands and took the talkative girl away.
Eighteen is already his bottom line. If he reaches twenty-eight, he will really become an old man!
——
Three years later.
In the eighth month of the autumn examination, Shen Mingqiu passed the examination successfully and won the first place.
In the spring examination in February of the following year, he was successfully promoted to Gongshi.
During the palace examination, the young emperor asked the students a question: What makes a country strong?
Under the gaze of many examiners, Shen Mingqiu rolled his eyes at the emperor, who smiled at him.
Afterwards, this daring candidate took Honglu County as the starting point, expounding on the importance of time, place, people and sustainable development, and wrote a long and eloquent article that shocked the whole government and the public.
The article is really good, but the emperor must also be given face.
Chen Mingqiu was unsurprisingly chosen as the top scholar. At the age of fourteen, he became the youngest top scholar in the history of the Xia Yuan Dynasty.
Later, when he was conferred the title in court, he knelt before all the civil and military officials and said in a loud voice: "I have something to report to Your Majesty first, for I am afraid I have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor."
The little emperor had obviously anticipated this and said solemnly, "My dear minister, please tell me what you want to say."
Shen Mingqiu narrated calmly, "My original surname wasn't Shen, but Cui..."
All civil and military officials knew that the General Zhenbei’s Mansion belonged to the Cui family.
Another shock to the government and the public.
Back then, the Cui family suffered injustice and was wiped out. Now, their descendants have finally appeared.
After Prince Li's downfall, all sorts of evidence emerged like bamboo shoots after rain, and the truth of this case was easily uncovered.
However, Shen Mingqiu refused the honor from the General's Mansion and entered the court as an official as a commoner.
He only asked the emperor for an imperial edict.
The news spread back to the North.
Yang Yucheng and Wei Da went to the house together.
He stared at Chen Chunxing for a long time with a very complicated look, and finally said in frustration: "I actually forgot about that talented woman who astonished the whole capital."
No wonder Mr. Wei Qian is so protective of him.
The Wei family and the Cui family are relatives by marriage.
"If you want to rebuild the general's mansion, it would be easy. Why do you let Mingqiu give up?" Wei Da was puzzled.
"That was Mingqiu's own decision. No one else can interfere." Chen Chunxing smiled, even more puzzled than the two of them. "Besides, who said I'm from the Cui family?"
Yang Yucheng was surprised: "Why aren't you?"
Diao, who came to see the official with tea in her hand, spat and took the tea away angrily.
The two were confused.
Chen Chunxing spread her hands and shrugged: "I am a typical farm girl. My last name is Shen in this life, and it will probably be the same in the next life."
Anyway, after she goes to the underworld, she can call herself whatever she wants.
At first,
The manor under the name of the general was attacked at night, and the criminals ran to the next door. Chen Chunxing woke up from a thin body and was dragging his adoptive father home when he met two children who came out of a dog hole.
In order to save her own life, the eldest daughter of the legitimate wife, who was famous in the capital, pushed her half-brother, who had been sick for many years, to the villain.
When the six-year-old child fell into the corner, someone handed a knife to him in despair.
The knife miraculously pierced into the chest of the villain behind him.
Blood splattered all over the child's face.
Chen Chunxing climbed up from the pile of dead bodies and looked back. In addition to the young child, a little girl had followed him without him noticing.
According to the young boy's introduction to the little girl, this person had come to the mansion with a traveling doctor to treat his illness...
Chen Chunxing looked at the faces of the two men and was overjoyed on the spot.
Life is hard, but there is hope that happiness will come after suffering.
The other one has an even more miserable life.
But it was precisely this sudden misfortune that saved the little girl from the poison doctor.
She turned around and hid her stepfather's body, took the knife back from the child, sneaked to the next door, and came back to tell the mute girl that she would never have to worry again.
Later, the Shen family had two more children.
While complaining about her granddaughter picking up things at random, Diao took her under her wings and replaced her grandchildren who died of illness.
The Shen family has four sons in three generations.
Only Chen Chunxing can be said to have the blood of the Shen family flowing in his veins.
As for the little fourth child, he was picked up from the mountains by the old lady herself.
She blamed her granddaughter for being nosy, but she was no different.
