Money is hard to buy, time is easy

Chapter 90

In the main hall of the other courtyard sat a strange boy in his teens. He was dressed in brocade clothes and a golden crown on his head. Although he was young, the aura in his expression and manner could not be ignored. Right now, he was looking at Ah Hong with great interest.

"Are you the descendant of Imperial Doctor Xie?" The young man behind the boy asked after coughing twice.

Ah Hong stood silently, behind him were two strong men with swords, if he made a slight movement, the two sharp long swords would give him a chill from behind at any time.

The calmness on the surface does not mean the calmness of the heart. In fact, the anxiety and panic in Ah Hong's heart can hardly be suppressed.Duan Jian had only been away for two hours, and this group of people appeared outside the other courtyard without anyone noticing. When he got up, he firmly grasped the exit of the other courtyard, and it was impossible to fly.

After waiting for a stick of incense, the boy and teenager appeared surrounded by many subordinates.

Ah Hong ignored the boy's question, put his fist to his mouth and coughed, and glanced at the boy, indicating what to do?

But the boy didn't even bother to look out of the corner of his eye. The young man had no choice but to continue talking, but he was not made to be a bad person. He said intimidating words, but he couldn't show a vicious look, "I advise you to keep the little boy Tell me about Yuan's whereabouts obediently, as long as you tell, gold and silver power will be at your fingertips, otherwise you will be favored!"

Now not only Ah Hong, but even the boy looked at him like an idiot. The young man took a step back silently, muttering in his heart, I have never done such a thing of bullying. This is the specialty of the eldest brother. Why did you take me out? take this trip...

The subordinates are useless, so the boy can only speak in person, "Xie Hongwen."

In memory, almost no one ever called him by his full name. When he was a child, his relatives called him Hongwen. After the sale, the guards would only call him around rudely. He didn’t deserve a name. He has been calling for more than ten years, but now that he hears the other party's address, Ah Hong is stunned for a while.

"Xie Hongwen." The boy called out again, "If you are willing to speak out, I can promise you that although I can't overturn the Xie family's case, it is still possible to get rid of your crime and slavery. Even if you want to return to the man's Identity, I can agree."

Can't reverse the case for the Xie family, even if he is cleared of the crime, and he did think about trying to restore his identity as a man, but this idea gradually faded as his relationship with Duan Jian deepened, and turned into wanting to be with Duan Jian. Duan Jian stayed together for life, if it was Duan Jian, he would be willing to have children for her.

The boy seemed to have known for a long time that he could not impress Ah Hong, and he was not unhappy because he remained silent.

The silence didn't last long, when a man dressed like a leader stepped in, bowed his fists and reported, "Your Highness, King Jin has arrived."

King Jin is only in his thirties this year, and his appearance is five points similar to that of the prince. Speaking of which, the prince does not have much resemblance to the current emperor. This is a taboo in the court and the harem.

It's not that no one has secretly speculated about the prince's lineage, and the rumors even reached the emperor's ears for a time. As a result, the emperor put the concubine who had spread the rumors into the cold palace, and all the servants were executed.The favored concubine who was thrown into the cold palace used to rely on the emperor's favor and dared to challenge the queen, but she never thought that the emperor would turn her face when she said it would, and the family in front of her would also be implicated. The emperor's cold-bloodedness and cruelty made everyone silent Sound, dare not have the slightest doubt about the prince's lineage.

King Jin's feelings for this only nephew are quite complicated. On the one hand, he longs for his deceased brother through the nephew, and on the other hand, he hates the other half of the nephew's blood flowing in his heart.

When he learned that his elder brother still had a child living outside, King Jin vowed to take back what belonged to his elder brother. He endured it for many years and could no longer restrain himself.

"Uncle Huang, you're here." The prince didn't see anything unusual, but still had a smile on his face.

"Why are you here?" King Jin came in a hurry after receiving the news, but he was still a step late. There were too many restraints on him, and he couldn't leave just by saying, "Where is he?"

The crown prince talked about him from left to right, "If the emperor uncle appears here, the one in Longjing must be a substitute."

One of the reasons why King Jin hates his nephew is that this expression and tone of voice are so much like the emperor. At this time, the prince is not like his other biological father at all, even if his appearance is similar to that of his relatives. The elder brother is like being printed out of the same mold.

King Jin frowned, and turned his eyes to another person in the room, "Are you a descendant of the Xie family?" He didn't like the Xie family, and even hated it. If it weren't for the doctor Xie, the emperor would not be able to realize his crazy ideas. , his elder brother will not die after being humiliated, for him, the Xie family deserves to die!

Ah Hong felt the other party's anger, if he hadn't been worried about the prince, he would have cut him down with a sword.

"Don't worry, Uncle Huang, he'll be here soon." The prince said, successfully distracting King Jin's attention, Ah Hong breathed a sigh of relief.

The prince put away his smile, "But, uncle, have you ever thought that even if you get Xiao Yuan back, the situation will not be as you imagined?" Unlike King Jin, the prince's feelings for the uncle are still good, It was precisely because he didn't want to see the emperor's uncle walking down the same road that he took the initiative to ask the emperor for orders, and took it upon himself. As for the Zhan family, didn't he know what those people were really thinking?

It's a pity that the current King Jin can't listen to anything he says.

Xiao Yuan was restless along the way, vaguely speculating about his future destiny, and at the same time secretly made up his mind that if it was really irreversible, at least he would exchange himself for Duan Jian and the others' safety.

The speed of the carriage is very fast, and the closer you get to the other courtyard, the more impatient Duan Jian will be. If something happens to Ah Hong... He forbids himself to think about it any longer, Ah Hong will be fine, otherwise everything he has done will be ruined. What's the point.

The other courtyard is located in a remote place, and the nearby farmers did not notice the carriages going back and forth.

Duan Jian and Xiao Yuan were not put down until the carriage entered the yard.The guards only removed the rope from Duan Jian's feet, but her hands were still tied, and she was taken to an empty room for guarding, while Xiao Yuan was taken to the main hall.

As soon as Xiao Yuan appeared, King Jin's eyes lit up, but quickly dimmed when he saw Xiao Yuan's appearance clearly.Xiao Yuan's handsome appearance is more inherited from his biological mother. In comparison, the prince looks more like his deceased brother, and most importantly, Xiao Yuan is actually a real son, even if King Jin succeeds in seizing the throne, The courtiers will not admit that a real son sits on the Ninth Five-Year Honor.The news brought back by his spies intentionally or unintentionally concealed the most important point. At this time, King Jin thought that perhaps the emperor had seen everything in his eyes from the very beginning.

The crown prince took into consideration King Jin's instantly dejected expression, and still said: "Uncle Huang, why don't you come and ask Xiao Yuan what's on your mind." Only what Xiao Yuan said in person can make King Jin really give up.

Xiao Yuan trembled, the people in the room should be his relatives, the boy who is younger than him is his younger brother?But the way he looked at him was terrible, and there was a bit of contempt hidden.

"Presumably you already know your identity, why don't you come and see, do you want to recognize the royal family? Even if you can't be a prince, you can be the son of a prince, rich and powerful, powerful and status, as long as you nod, what do you want?" What is there, how about it?" The prince's words were full of temptation.

"I, I think..." Xiao Yuan was terrified. The other party's eyes seemed to be looking at a dead person. He was obviously a child younger than himself. Facing the persecution, he couldn't help but take two steps back, but he still mustered up the courage to say, "I I want to go home, can you let me go home..."

When Xiao Yuan said this, the light in King Jin's eyes was completely extinguished, and he left without even looking at Xiao Yuan, as if he never existed.If Xiao Yuan didn't show up, he could continue to work hard with hope.It is a pity that the world cannot be repeated, and the dead cannot be resurrected.

The prince seemed to be expecting it, but he was disappointed that he didn't realize it. Even if he didn't admit that Xiao Yuan was his brother, the cowardly appearance of the other party still made him angry. Brothers!

"I will send someone to send you back to your hometown, on the condition that you never set foot in Longjing in this lifetime."

"Really?" Xiao Yuan was pleasantly surprised, thinking of Duan Jian and A Hong, he quickly asked, "Then, can you let them go too, they are all good people!"

The prince seemed to have just remembered and stepped back to the side without saying a word, "As for others, they don't have such good luck..." Xiao Yuan interrupted him before he finished speaking, "Why?"

"Between you and them, you can only choose one. You live, or they live. How would you choose?" The prince said viciously.

Xiao Yuan's unbelievable eyes pleased the prince, and the other party took his time to wait for his answer.

"I choose them to live." Xiao Yuan finally said, his expression did not seem to be fake, and an unexpected expression finally appeared on the prince's face.

In the end, the prince took Xiao Yuan away and left a sentence to Ah Hong, "I believe you are a smart person who knows what to say and what not to say. In the same way, and the uncle who gave you, can you afford it?" Consequences of going your own way."

After everyone evacuated, Duan Jian was released. She couldn't wait to find Ah Hong, and hugged Ah Hong with fear on her face.

Ah Hong patted Duan Jian on the back reassuringly, "It's all right now, and you don't have to worry about it anymore." The prince's warning to him was not a guarantee for him, as long as he didn't reveal the truth of the matter, the prince would protect him the safety of their family.

The past can never be revisited, cherish the present, and finally be able to unload the burden of many years, Ah Hong feels at ease like never before.

The staff under the prince moved very quickly. Within two days, the haggard Wei Yuanzi was released. After seeing Ah Hong, he knelt down and cried loudly. He must have suffered a lot. This time it was fake, next time But not necessarily, no matter how unwilling he is in his heart, he should let it go for Ah Hong's safety.

The bandits in Luo Laoshan disappeared, and the bandit suppressing army was ordered to evacuate. The people of Luocheng hadn’t felt at ease for two days, and another major event happened. It is said that they colluded with profiteers, embezzled officials and banks, and even dared to get involved in disaster relief funds.At the same time, the son-in-law of the dean of the academy was also arrested. What is amazing is that his wife handed over the account book, which is an important evidence of corruption. , but she herself could not escape no matter what.

Jinzhu, who was an accomplice, was also confessed by Pei Yiyi. When the government came to the Sanfeng Pavilion to arrest her, Jinzhu had been waiting for a long time, calmly washed off the makeup on her face, changed into a man's plain clothes, and held the man's arm For the hair bun, he sent it in as a man, and he had to go out as a man.

There were crowds of spectators inside and outside the door. Jinzhu stepped out of the gate of Sanfeng Pavilion. At this time, there was a commotion in the crowd outside the door. Yinping squeezed in with difficulty under Gao Liang's maintenance, but only Jinzhu could be seen. The back of him, but he can't do anything, Gao Liang is tightly bound, covering his mouth with one hand or he will yell out.

Jinzhu actually saw Yinping, but he couldn't stop.

At the end of the dispute that day, Yinping slapped him angrily, and shouted sharply, "You are a man, not a real son!"

He was slapped, but he was not very angry in his heart, because he knew how to hurt the other party more severely, and said with a sneer: "Yeah, I am a man, but you taught me how to please men!"

Shock, uneasiness, guilt, pain... Intertwined together, Yinping's expression at that time, he will never forget it for the rest of his life.

Yinping tried his best but couldn't see Jinzhu. He had a serious illness. He heard all the people involved in the case beheaded from the sick bed, and he fainted. After waking up, he didn't remember it. Fortunately, he didn't ask again, let him think that Jinzhu was redeemed by a wealthy businessman, although he will never see each other again, at least he is still alive, isn't he?

As for Lian Lie and Mu Yu, they disappeared completely after the incident. Duan Jian would occasionally think of her friends who hadn’t heard from her, and she felt a little melancholy, but she didn’t show it. Since Ah Hong said that they were still alive, there would be a day when they would meet again , he believed that with the ability of those two people, they would definitely live well.

However, for Duan Jian and Ah Hong, this is someone else's business. The most important thing right now is their future.

Outside the delivery room, Duan Jian kept circling in circles, muttering, "Why haven't you been born yet? It's been two hours!" Duan Wei, four years old, rolled his eyes at his father, three years old Xie Zhong, the younger brother, pulled the corner of his clothes and said, "Brother, I'm hungry."

"Brother will take you to eat." Duan Wei held his younger brother's hand, leaving his father behind, and the two brothers went to the kitchen to find something to eat.

Duan Jian turned around for an unknown amount of time, when the voice in the room suddenly became louder, and after a while, Grandma Wen opened the door and revealed half of her face, "Congratulations, master, all are well."

Duan Jian was about to jump up, she stretched out her foot and wanted to step into the house, but she was stopped outside the door just like the previous two times, "Master, you can't go in!" He closed the door with his face, rules are rules, no matter how much he scratches his head, he won't do.

After finally being able to go in, the lump of flesh the size of a fist had been washed and wrapped in cotton cloth, and Ah Hong was still sleeping. It took a lot of energy to be able to give birth smoothly at his age.

For several years after that, Ah Hong did not conceive. He originally thought that when he was young, his body was damaged and he could no longer bear children. Ah Hong felt ashamed of Duan Jian, but he would not let Duan Jian take a concubine because of this, and Duan Jian didn't think about it at all. Instead, he comforts Ah Hong to relax after having no future.

When Wei Yuanzi diagnosed that Ah Hong was pregnant, his reaction turned out to be whether Wei Yuanzi's diagnosis was wrong...

Now that the third child is born, Ah Hong is already able to calm down. The child in his belly eats and drinks well, and he is bigger than his two elder brothers.

Duan Jian and Ah Hong, including their two sons, thought they were also sons this time, but unexpectedly, when the membrane fell off, it gave the whole family a big surprise.

The baby girl with a pink body seemed to feel the gaze from her parents, and slowly opened her eyes to welcome the first smile in the world.

The author has something to say: It’s finally over, and I actually wrote 22. Although the speed is very poor, it is the longest article I have ever written. Thank you for your company all the time!

Next, there are probably three episodes, Lin Lier, Lian Lie, and Jin Zhu, to explain some things that were not mentioned in the main text.

Some people may think that many things in the text are not clear, such as the unfinished ending in the legend, in fact, in my setting, what I want to write is always the life of Duan Jian and Ah Hong, and those things that do not affect their lives It's all been mentioned in one stroke, such as Xie's family, Xiao Yuan, etc., as they said, these are other people's affairs, which have nothing to do with them, and will not have any impact on them.

For example, if I write a story with the process of Lian Lie and Mu Yu bringing Xiao Yuan back to Longjing as the main line (of course, this is impossible), Duan Jian and A Hong are just background elements in it, just passing it by. .

There will be more fierce beasts in the future. My plan is to have a main plot in one volume and then add a few small stories. Now I have finished the outline of the first volume, which means that the second volume has not yet been thought out... But no Influence the story of the first volume!So each volume will not be too long, about 7.

Then I will write a beastman article. For a child lover, I always feel a bit regretful that I haven’t written a beastman article.

Finally, thank you all for watching to the end!

☆, extra one

Today is the full moon day of Lin Hao's son, and the Lin family is full of guests.Today's Lin family is no longer an inconspicuous small dry goods store in the past. After Lin Hao took over the store, it developed into one of the best large stores in Luocheng in less than ten years. Therefore, half of the people who came to congratulate today are from Lin Hao's business. Among the partners I met, there are many who came to Lin Dongtao on a good day to get close to acquaintances.In addition to the banquet at home, there is also a row of running water banquets on the street outside the house. No matter who comes to the Lin's house, they are welcome to come. Even if they have no money, they can take a seat if they say a few auspicious words.

During the banquet, Lin Dong hugged his grandson and smiled from ear to ear.

The white and clean baby was wrapped in a small red quilt, sleeping soundly with clenched fists, even if being carried around in the noisy hall, at most twisted its small body twice and fell asleep again with its small mouth, very well-behaved.

Different from the liveliness in the front yard, the backyard of the Lin family was quiet. The servants outside the door walked on tiptoes, not daring to breathe, for fear of offending the master in the house.

With a crackling sound, another porcelain bowl hit the ground and shattered into several pieces.

Ajia looked at her son Lin You who was lazily lying on the couch, and came out out of anger. She walked over and pointed her finger at her son's head, "Sleep, sleep, sleep! You know how to sleep! If this continues, the family There is no place for our sister-in-law! You just wait for your father to die, and our sister-in-law will be kicked out!"

Lin You went out to play yesterday and didn't come back until midnight, and now his mind is still not clear, and he was very unhappy to be woken up by Eminem, "Eminem, what are you doing again!"

A few years ago, when Ajia watched Lin Dong gradually hand over the family property to that damned Lin Hao, it wasn't like he didn't have trouble, but no matter whether he cried or quarreled, it was Lin Dong who had decided a long time ago that Lin Hao would inherit the family property. According to the written evidence, this is also the condition that Lin Lier and Lin Amu agreed to Ajia's entry, but Ajia tried her best to stop it.

Looking back on the scene at that time, Ajia still gritted her teeth with hatred.In the past, as long as he complained to Lin Dong endlessly with tears in his eyes, Lin Dong was easy to soften his heart, and would try his best to satisfy his own conditions with a few soft words to him.But unexpectedly, in this matter, Lin Dong was extremely resolute, and would not let go no matter what.

"Wuuu... I know that Dafang doesn't want to see our sister-in-law. If in the future... at that time, our sister-in-law will have no one to rely on, I don't care, but our son You'er is only fourteen this year! Brother Dong, You should always think about You'er." As she spoke, Ajia covered her face sadly and wept.

Lin Dong was silent for a moment, then took Ajia's shoulders and said, "Ahao is the eldest son, so he should inherit the family property. As for other things, you don't have to worry about it. I still have some private property, which is enough for both of you to live on."

Ajia's eyes lit up when she heard that Lin Dong kept private property, but when she thought that these private properties were nothing compared to the Lin family's, she hated Lin Li'er and the others even more in her heart, as well as that immortal Lin Amu.He gave birth to a son to the Lin family. That old man would only smile when he saw his grandson. When he saw him, he would always have raised eyebrows and raised eyes. He used Lin Lier as an example everywhere. The good things were covered tightly, and the rest of the rags after the eldest house was picked out were his son's turn.

But Lin Dong is a dutiful son, no matter how resentful A Jia is, she dare not show the slightest bit in front of Lin Dong.In order for his son to inherit the family property, he has served Lin Dong meticulously for ten years. He usually has disputes with the big house and even finds fault on purpose. Lin You had more, but unexpectedly, Lin Dong stubbornly decided to let the eldest son inherit the family property.

Seeing that the family property was about to fall into the hands of the big house, Ajia felt helpless no matter how anxious she was, so she planned to put her son in the shop as well. Even if she couldn't inherit it now, it's better to get a firm foothold first, and then slowly give Lin Dong a blow. Pillow wind, as long as Lin Amu is dead, I don't believe Lin Dong can't change his words.

Ajia thought very well, but unfortunately his son Lin You is not a capable man, and he didn't appreciate his mother's painstaking efforts at all.Lin You, who was spoiled since he was a child, was far inferior to Lin Hao in terms of thinking and doing things. After half a month, he felt tired and refused to go to the shop to help. Even though Ajia was holding a ruler behind him, he still fished for three days net.Sent him to the shop, not only did not work, but also stole the money from the account, was caught by Lin Hao and Lin Dong, and in the end Ajia rushed over to intercede, Lin Dong did not ask the family law, but punished him for a month That's all.But even this month, Lin You was so suffocated that he waited until the day he could go out, without telling Ajia, and took his servants out to have fun until late at night.

The road on the son's side is impassable, no matter how unwilling Ajia is, she has nothing to do, she can only watch Lin Hao take over everything, and then slowly grow to the current scale.

Although Lin Dong dotes on Ajia and his youngest son Lin You, who are much younger than him, he is not an idiot. son.Facts have proved that his vision is correct. Lin Hao has indeed done a good job. The blue is better than the blue, and he secretly saved a private property and intends to hand it over to Ajiamuzi. If the eldest son is willing to take care of Ajiamuzi, that is The best, otherwise this private property is enough for them to live comfortably.

After Lin Hao came to power, Lin Dong gradually ceased to be in charge, especially after his grandson was born, he seemed to have everything he could do, and even Lin You had to be put in the back seat, and all the big and small things in the family account books were handed over to Lin Li Son.Ajia wanted to ask Lin Dong for a comment, but now the family's income depends entirely on Lin Hao, and even Lin Dong depends on Lin Hao's face, so Ajia can only swallow her anger, who will let her son not live up to it!

Just like today, when Lin Hao’s son had a full moon banquet, they couldn’t even show up at the banquet, just because Lin Li’er said that there is no reason for a concubine to show up to entertain guests. Trembling, Lin Dong was at the side at the time, but he didn't say a word, just hugging his grandson for fun.

At this time, Ajia really panicked.

A few years later, Lin Dong fell ill and died.Ajia and Lin Youpu were crying out of breath in front of the sick bed. At this time, Lin Dong was speechless and could only look at his wife and eldest son with expectant eyes. Lin Hao lowered his head to avoid his father Lin Li'er met Lin Dong's gaze with a blank expression on his face. In Lin Dong's earnest eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up. This was the joy that had been suppressed for many years and was finally released. It passed away in a short time. .

Lin Dong swallowed his last breath with disappointment in his eyes, and Ajia and Lin You cried more bitterly, for Lin Dong and their future destiny.

As soon as the filial piety was over, Lin Dong invited the elders of the clan to separate the family, and Lin You and Ajia were purged and left the house.

Lin Li'er and Lin Dong have been husband and wife for many years, and it can be guessed that Lin Dong must have left a way for their mother-in-law. However, the days are still long, and the future is unknown. After so many years, I don't care about waiting a period of time.

Without Lin Dong's control, Lin You squandered all his money in just over a year, and finally sold his house and land to make up for the shortfall of his gambling debts, so he turned his mind on his own mother.

At this time, Ajia was in his thirties, had lived a good life in the Lin family for more than ten years, and was well maintained. He was mortgaged three taels of silver, and no one knew where he was taken.Before being taken away by Ren Yazi, Ajia had disheveled hair and looked like a madman. Lin You hid aside and shivered, with his face sideways and eyes closed, and Ajia's sharp curses filled his ears.

After Lin Hao learned about it, she went home and told Lin Lier about it.

Lin Lier's mood was not as happy as expected, he suddenly realized that he had let go of it before he knew it, and his younger daughter was going to leave the cabinet soon, and now his heart was filled with the younger daughter's marriage, There is no way to separate your mind from paying attention to outsiders.

Life is always about living by yourself, isn't it?

The author has something to say: I think Lin Lier has lost love for Lin Dong for a long time, so she will not feel hatred because of Lin Dong's betrayal, and in that environment, it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines Now, talking about loyalty with Lin Dong is worse than letting him live a better life with his children. A peaceful and monotonous life is more in line with his character.

As for Ajia, with the same personality of Lin Lier, I think he is a gentle and even cowardly person. Even if he is hit, he will not mutate from a small white rabbit into a Godzilla. , probably can’t do it, just drive them out of the house. On the other hand, it also shows that he really doesn’t have much feeling for Ajia. Compared with her husband being robbed, he hates her more It's just revenge for your kindness.

_(:з」∠)_In fact, this article is really not bloody...

Then there is Jinzhu's episode, and Mu Yu's episode, I still have to think about it, because if I want to fully explain the matter of Mu Yu's couple, I guess I can open another article, but I don't want to open it, so I still think about it. Simplify it.
