Chapter 307: The Imperial Capital Goes Forty-Two


A-Nian couldn't describe how she felt.

Although she had never had any more expectations for a woman who abandoned her parents and children like this, there was always a touch of warmth in A-Nian's memory that told her not to go out.

Vague memories of running around and not eating from strangers.

That kind of faint warmth always stayed in A-Nian's somewhat vague childhood.

But now, seeing that person leave without leaving a trace of nostalgia, all the warmth suddenly turned into ice, making A-Nian's whole body feel cold from head to toe, from that distant memory to the depths of his heart.

I will never live like them.

A Nian warned herself.

The old ghost suddenly said, "Do you still remember the five hundred taels of silver?"

Ah Nian sarcastically said, "Thank you for reminding me, my mother is only worth five hundred taels."

The old ghost sighed, "She and Xu Ning parted ways at that time, and she probably only had this amount of money.

Of course people change, but I always thought that these five hundred taels were also the majority of her net worth at that time.

If she was a stranger, no She would leave most of her family to you and me.

At that time, she was very affectionate towards us.

If she didn’t have any affection at all, she wouldn’t have given birth to a child like that.

If you have children, you will know how hard it is to raise children.”

"If I don't raise it, I won't give birth."

The old ghost said, "How do you know that she didn't plan to raise her back then?"

"Maybe it needs to be raised, but it is so difficult for a woman to raise a child without the support of a man.

The hardships of life will make her find that she can live a better life without this child, and then, with a cruel heart, she will abandon this child.

Children, after all, not all mothers think that their children are more important than themselves."

The old ghost sighed, "Some mothers will value their children more than their own lives.

Empress Xie of Mei Palace, when the Western Barbarians proposed marriage to our court, the late Emperor ordered the daughter of the Xie family to marry the Western Barbarians on behalf of the princess.

However, the court chose Empress Xie, who was not yet a hairpin girl, and her biological mother, Mrs.

Wei Guo, was not allowed to marry.

She got married and committed suicide before the imperial edict came to Xie's house.

As soon as Mrs.

Wei died, Queen Xie had to keep her filial piety, so the court chose a girl from the Duke of Zhao's family.

Later, Queen Xie was accused of marrying her. " "Thank you to the Queen's mother, who loves her more than life."

The old ghost didn't know whether to envy or sigh, "We are just not lucky enough to meet such a mother."

Ah Nian's anger subsided a little, and he said awkwardly, "I'm better off than you.

I met Sister Zijin."

There was a hint of smile in the old ghost's voice, "Yes.

You are luckier than me."

Anian asked, "How did you live back then?"

In the past, the old ghost rarely talked to Anian about his own life, and he rarely even talked to Anian about the situation in the imperial capital.

Especially after discovering that many things in the imperial capital were different from what he had done back then, the old ghost rarely spoke.

Today, he no longer refused to hide it and talked to A Nian, "At that time, not only did I not meet your sister Zijin, I also never went to the He family.

I was always at the Jiang family.

The adoptive mother suspected I am the illegitimate son of my adoptive father, so you can imagine the attitude of the Jiang family towards me, and that brat Jiang Ren, I often had fights with him when I was young."

The old ghost was more open-minded than A-Nian, "At that time, I was like you and was admitted to Furong Academy.

The Jiang family didn't want to pay for my education.

This doesn't mean that the Jiang family is not good.

Read, again, I am not related to anyone, so there is no reason to treat me well.

Especially, the cost of studying is nothing to a rich family, but it is a big deal to the Jiang family.

Expenses.

Fortunately, my adoptive father always cared about my studies and sent money back.

The Jiang family was not as enthusiastic as the He family, but they were also reasonable people, so they sent me to study just like you did, every year.

I can get rewards from the academy.

Until I pass the scholar examination, I can support myself when I go to the state capital to take the imperial examination, but then it will cost a lot of money to take the imperial examination. , I want to study, I need money for pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and I also need money for socializing with friends.

Furthermore, Bishui County is a small place, and the teachers in the academy can teach me to pass the exam, but if I want to be among the best in the spring exam, I have to go out and become a teacher.

Travel.

My adoptive father's career is not as smooth as yours in this life, and the Jiang family doesn't treat me as well as the He family treats you.

Don't think it's because you took out five hundred taels of silver before me.

Think about it, the clothes, shoes and socks you have worn over the years are not of the best materials, but you can wear whatever Ah Lie wears.

Clothes for all seasons, even though the needlework and money are the thick needles and threads of Sister Zijin. , but I have single clothes in summer and cotton robes in winter, nothing less than yours.

It may not be worth much money, but how much money do you have to spend to buy such meticulous care."

"Sister Zijin and I have a love for each other."

Ah Nian said, and then emphasized, "Sister Zijin is not a thick needle and a big thread.

She can make clothes very quickly.

She can make two clothes in one day."

The old ghost smiled and said, "You can see that beauty is in the eye of the beholder."

"What do you mean by lovers?

Sister Zijin and I are husband and wife."

A Nian corrected.

"Chengchengcheng, your sister Zijin is good at everything.

No one can compare with her.

That's all."

The old ghost was about to surrender.

A Nian nodded, expressing satisfaction.

The old ghost said, "Speaking of which, you kid is really quite lucky."

A Nianxin said, "That is" The old ghost said, "I remember when I was young, I studied at night.

It was the time when I was growing tall.

I would always feel hungry when I studied at night.

Where can I find someone to make me a midnight snack?

Today I will make steamed buns and tomorrow I will make dumplings.

I had nothing but chicken noodle soup at that time.

After dinner, I would go to the kitchen and ask for some pancakes to keep.

But at night, the pancakes were already cold and were left half-warm in the teapot.

Eat the tea soup, My stomach was full, but it was cold.

Later, the boy Jiang Ren said he wanted to have a midnight snack while studying at night, so the Jiang family made him a midnight snack.

Since we lived in the same house, I naturally had a share.

Ren gets sleepy when he reads.

He doesn't want to read.

He probably said this because he knew I would eat pancakes at night.

To be honest, Jiang Ren has been a warm-hearted person all his life

.

"

Ah Nian agrees with this.

Jiang Ren is not only warm-hearted, in fact, he has a pity for the young and the old.

Back then, he felt sorry for He Qi, but somehow, the two got together.

"I was short of money at that time, and it was difficult for me to even go out.

When I was going to Chaoyun Temple, Master Chaoyun reminded me.

I found the shoes I had left when I was young and dug out five hundred taels of silver notes.

Only then could I visit the famous master. , and later succeeded in the imperial examination."

The old ghost said, "I was not like you in spring.

When I arrived in the imperial capital, I just settled down and studied.

I lived in a temple and studied hard.

Fortunately, I succeeded in one fell swoop, and I have a bright future."

A Nian asked, "How did you fare after that?"

"How should I put it?

I'm better than you in officialdom, but to be honest, I envy your life more."

Ah Nian understands Lao Gui very well.

He also feels that he has a better life than Lao Gui.

Needless to say, he grew up with Sister Zijin when he was a child.

Ah Nian said, "When I was a child, when I first came to Sister Zijin's house, you don't know how well Sister Zijin treated Ah Lie.

Ah Lie was just like a little pig at that time.

Sister Zijin would wake him up every morning and would also Let him pee.

I just thought, how nice it would be if she was so kind to me."

"You were jealous of Ah Lie when you were a child."

"It's not jealousy, it's just envy."

Anian said, "I can't remember clearly what happened when I first arrived at my adoptive father's house.

I just remember that Sister Zijin talked to me.

When I arrived at Sister Zijin's house, we were actually there.

She sleeps in the same room and on the same bed.

When she is sleeping, her mouth is turned up and her little face is swollen, which is not to mention how beautiful she is. " Old ghost, "It wasn't long ago that you left your mother.

Do you still remember what your mother looked like?"

Ah Nian said, "I see Sister Zijin every day, so I remember her clearly.

I haven't seen her in many years, do you remember?"

The old ghost said, "That's eleven or twelve years."

A Nian sighed, "I don't even remember the specific time.

Maybe I was having such a good time with Sister Zijin that I forgot about being with her."

His mother didn't remember him in her heart.

Over the years, he has never kept her in his heart.

When I was a child, I followed Sister Zijin around.

When I got older, I went to school.

When I got older, in addition to studying, I also thought about how to pursue Sister Zijin.

Also, Sister Zijin is so capable, which makes A Nianguai feel pressured.

Later, during the examination for merit and fame, some people plotted against Sister Zijin, and they were engaged, married, married, married, and became officials.

A Nian was so busy that he really had no time to lament the spring and autumn, sigh with emotion over the years, and miss his parents.

He doesn't seem to lack his parents either.

Although Aunt Shen is a bit serious, she treats him well.

Uncle He is a very good person.

He never even said a word to him.

Every time he takes him out, he always looks like this.

This kid has a lot of potential.

As an elder, I also have a bright face.

As for Grandma He, A-Nian’s concepts of financial management, concepts of husband and wife, and concepts of life were all taught by Grandma He.

When he was growing up, he not only had his favorite sister Zijin, but also relatives such as brother Aliejun, third sister, brother Awen, and brother Aren.

The teachings his parents can give him have been replaced by others, and the hard work of the parents in raising him has also been replaced by others.

Of course he also thought about what his parents were doing, abandoning him, and whether they were better off.

Today, I saw it.

It turned out that they were really doing well after abandoning him.

Ah Nian let out a long sigh.

If they hadn't abandoned him, what kind of life would he have had?

No, this is not possible.

Xu Ning was ruthless and unrighteous, and the token from the British government in his grandfather's relics was nothing more than a fuse.

When the Zhao and Li families used such power to force Zijin's sister to enter the palace, Zijin's sister refused.

Later, the late Emperor himself spoke, and Sister Zijin did not waver at all.

Sister Zijin is not a noble-minded person.

In fact, Sister Zijin likes to save money.

But in Sister Zijin’s heart, friendship is more important than wealth and glory, so Sister Zijin will not abandon him because of wealth and glory.

Xu Ning was different.

When he gained fame and found that he could have a wife who was more suitable in terms of status, his heart was shaken.

That token just gave him a reason to betray.

Xu Ning abandoned Jiang Lan.

As the old ghost said, Jiang Lan should still have feelings for Xu Ning at that time, otherwise, she would not have given birth to him.

After giving birth to him and raising him, A-Nian also believed that Jiang Lan loved him a long, long time ago.

But, later, Jiang Lan slowly discovered that blood relations were not as important as her own, so in order to live a better life, Jiang Lan abandoned him.

Ah Nian actually wanted to be grateful to Jiang Lan for not giving him away casually.

Jiang Lan had given him to his adoptive father Shen Su for adoption throughout his life.

Even Lao Gui's previous life was actually thanks to his adoptive father, and this is especially true for A-Nian in this life.

If it weren't for his adoptive father, he would not have met Sister Zijin.

In fact, Ah Nian, who had calmed down, was extremely glad that Jiang Lan abandoned him when she realized that she was more important.

Otherwise, with Jianglan's current coldness and indifference, what would she do when faced with a child she doesn't love?

Maybe, even the five hundred taels of friendship will no longer exist.

Ah Nian asked the old ghost, "Are you envious of me?"

The old ghost smiled and said, "I have my own life, and I envy you for what you have done.

Although your luck is better than mine, I also have my own feelings and righteousness in my life."

Ah Nian said, "But to be honest, if I hadn't met Sister Zijin and her family, I might have had the same unpleasant temperament as you."

Old ghost:: It’s really annoying in future generations.

Ah Nian is not only annoying, but also a smart kind of annoying, because, he said next, "You always want to see them, just because your previous life was not as good as mine, so keep thinking about them."

The old ghost protested, "Can you stop showing off your life of a wife and children?"

Ah Nian snorted twice and couldn't help laughing but his eyes rolled up.

He forgot about Jiang Lan's cold-hearted look just now, because Ah Nian recalled his own growth process, and then he felt very sober and happy.

He realized that growing up with Zijin's sister was definitely better than growing up with his biological mother.

Even if his biological mother had not abandoned him, depending on her temperament, it was very likely that he would have developed a vengeful and gloomy character.

The old ghost said, "Do you want to know who I married when I was a senior?"

A Nian had no such idea at all and said, "No one is as good as Sister Zijin to marry.

For me, Sister Zijin can abandon the wealth and honor before her eyes like a pair of worn-out shoes.

Can your wife in that life be able to do it?"

The old ghost choked A-Nian again.

When A-Nian saw that the old ghost was silent and knew that the old ghost was obviously not as good as him in marrying a wife, A-Nian kindly comforted him and said, "You also said that in your life I also have my own feelings and righteousness.

I think, although you are not as good as me, you still have merit. .

Besides, your life is over long ago, and your wishes are over.

You can do whatever you want and don’t be reluctant to leave me.

We are just different selves in the two worlds."

A Nian regained his mood.

One thing is that the old ghost should leave quickly, and he has helped him achieve his wish.

Once the old ghost is gone, he will be able to have little Zaozi with his sister Zijin.

The old ghost said, "What a heartless boy."

Anian asked, "Are you leaving or not?"

"I also want to say goodbye to Zijin girl."

Ah Nian was immediately furious, and he was unwilling to say goodbye, "Sister Zijin doesn't care about you at all, and we have no friendship with you."

The old ghost made a sound, very cheeky like A Nian, and said, "We have known each other since our last life."

"Shit, sister Zijin doesn't know what happened in her previous life."

A Nian chased the old ghost, "Hurry up, hurry up and go away."

The old ghost said angrily, "You heartless guy, you have forgotten how I taught you your homework back then."

Ah Nian said in a matter-of-fact manner, "You are me, do I need to thank myself?

Besides, if it weren't for you, wouldn't I have to try my best to meet these two disgusting people?

It hurts my mood.

If you don't say anything, you He said, "You delayed me for three years and prevented me from giving birth to a son.

I can't go any further with Sister Zijin.

You are a human being and you didn't do this.

You still say that I have no friendship.

I need someone else.

I have already asked Maoshan Taoist priests to come over and exorcise the ghosts."

The old ghost said, "I don't know whether I will be born or not."

Ah Nian stumbled and almost fell to the ground, saying, "You couldn't have given birth in your last life."

The old ghost said nothing.

Ah Nian was hit hard, and the old ghost said, "I didn't have children in my previous life, so I don't think you are like this."

It's okay not to be comforted.

This comfort is completely solid.

Ah Nian now feels that life is boring.

He never thought that he was a eunuch in his previous life.

You know, the old ghost lives in A-Nian's body.

He can vaguely feel what A-Nian is thinking.

The old ghost immediately emphasized, "I am not a eunuch."

"If you can't have children, what's the difference between being a eunuch?"

The old ghost asked, "Then you are a eunuch" "I'm not."

Ah Nian's self-esteem would never allow him to admit it.

Ah Nian was so shocked that it took him a long time for his IQ to return to normal.

He asked the old ghost, "You just said that I have never raised a child and don't know how hard it is to raise a child.

Listening to what you just said, it sounds like you have raised a child."

It’s like that.

How can you say such a thing if you don’t have any children?”

The old ghost sighed, "I've never eaten pork, but I've seen pigs run before."

"Shit."

Ah Nian didn't know when he learned He Lao Niang's colloquialism, and said to the old ghost very ungracefully, "It's so interesting to raise children, look at Brother Xing, look at Chongyang, and Brother A Ren's house Brother Bao is plump and tender, and very attractive to people.”

The old ghost said, "It's fat and tender.

Those who didn't know would have thought you were talking about roast duck."

A Nian ignored the old ghost and could think of a fat and tender baby as a fat, tender and fragrant roast duck.

It was normal for such a person to be unable to give birth to a child.

Ah Nian had no idea that he would not be able to give birth.

He and the old ghost were completely different people living in different worlds, and the old ghost's experience was completely different from his.

For example, the old ghost's luck is not as good as his, this poor old ghost.

Ah Nian said, "You don't have any descendants, so when you die, no one will burn paper money for you."

Old ghost: Is this because his descendants are concerned about his underground life?

A-Nian sighed, "After you leave, I will perform rituals for you on the Ghost Festival, so that you can have a better life underground.

In the future, you can bribe the ghosts and give birth to a good child in your next life.

You don't have to Envy me."

Old ghost: How did this kid know that he envied him?

Anian asked, "It's because of this wish that you entered my body."

The old ghost sighed, "Actually, at the beginning, I only remembered who I was.

When I saw Master Chaoyun, I remembered what happened when I was young.

Later, I slowly remembered."

"Did you become a lonely ghost because there was no one to worship you?"

The old ghost was angry, "Am I a lonely wild ghost?

I am an ignorant boy.

When my soul was wandering, a voice asked me if I had any unfulfilled wishes.

My wish in this life is to never see another person again after I grow up.

As for my parents, they just thought about it.

When I wake up, I will be here with you.

It seems that I am willing to stay here.

If I could leave, I would have left long ago."

Ah Nian was shocked, "Is it possible that you can't leave now?"

What about his married life with Sister Zijin?

The old ghost said in a very bad tone, "I said I wanted to say goodbye to Zijin."

A Nian said angrily, "You don't even know Sister Zijin or I, so what's the point of saying goodbye?

You should leave quickly.

It's the same thing for me to say to Sister Zijin."

The old ghost refuses to leave.

Ah Nian began to criticize him again, "Your temperament is not as popular as mine."

The old ghost ignored his status and age and said, "You are still popular because of your disrespectful behavior.

I really don't know how Zi Jin became blind."

Ah Nian almost jumped up, "My sister Zijin and I were childhood sweethearts."

"Xu Ning and Jiang Lan grew up together and are childhood sweethearts."

Ah Nian made unlucky noises several times deep in his heart and said to the old ghost, "Don't mean to harm me."

The old ghost will not always quarrel with his little child.

The old ghost said, "Okay, okay, don't worry, I can't leave until the opportunity comes.

I feel that the last opportunity lies with Zijin." ” Ah Nian said gloomily, "If you don't leave, I will really have to find a Taoist priest to help me get rid of ghosts when I get back."

The old ghost said, "You are also considered my descendant."

A Nian asked back, "What would you do if there was an annoying guy who kept getting in between you and your new wife for more than three years, forcing you to be Liu Xiahui?"

The old ghost stopped talking, and Anian said, "I have done my best to tolerate you for three years."

The old ghost said, "You are holding it in so much."

Ah Nian hummed twice, "I don't know why you have such an unfulfilled wish.

Even if you have an unfulfilled wish, you should ask the gods to cast a bad luck spell on the two people who created the world that day.

See if there is anything good to see.

Me, I don’t want to see you at all.”

The old ghost sighed, "Why do you call me Nian?

Nian, Nianxiang.

Hey, I thought..."

Ah Nian spoke objectively now, saying, "Even if I have thoughts, they are from the past.

Things have changed and people have changed, so what if we meet again.

If we really took us seriously in the first place, we would not have given you and me to be raised by our adoptive father." ” The old ghost takes this seriously.

When the palace servant came to report that Mr.

Jiang was waiting for Grandma Jiang outside, He Zijin's eyes lit up.

Although Queen Xie was a very dignified person, maybe He Zijin's temperament caught Queen Xie's eyes, or Queen Xie saw that In the face of Uncle Fang, Queen Xie said warmly, "Go ahead."

He Zijin stood up, bowed and followed the palace people.

Queen Xie said, "They are a very good couple."

Taoist Chao Yun smiled and said, "When I was young, we always walked hand in hand when we went out."

There was warmth in Empress Xie's eyes, "That's good."

This girl, whose temperament was said to be similar to her mother's when she was young, could categorically reject the late emperor's admiration for her betrothed fiancé.

She also hoped that this girl would live a happy life.

Well done.

Ah Nian was waiting for Sister Zijin in the plum forest outside Wanmei Palace.

He kept looking in the direction of the palace gate.

He saw a beautiful figure coming out and walking quickly towards him.

Ah Nian smiled slightly and stepped forward to meet her.

A-Nian stretched out her hand, and just when Sister Zijin was about to hold it, she felt a breeze blowing by, as if someone hugged her gently, and then the wind went away.

A Nian seemed to hear a sigh, as if someone whispered in his heart, my wish to God is that if there is an afterlife, let me meet the one I love since childhood.

Ah Nian was in a daze for a moment, and his hand fell into sister Zijin's.

Ah Nian scolded him, "You old man."

You actually lied to him for so many years.

Sister Zijin looked at A-Nian with concern, "Are you okay?"

A Nian announced the good news to Zijin's sister with a crooked look, "It's all solved."

The old ghost finally got out.

Sister Zijin said, "He's gone."

Speaking of the old ghost, when he was in A-Nian's body, sister Zijin also felt that the old ghost was a nuisance, but when the ghost actually left, sister Zijin was a little reluctant to leave.

"Let's go back quickly."

A Nian didn't feel any regret for the old ghost at all, and whispered into Sister Zijin's ear, "Go home to the bridal chamber."

Then, Sister Zijin no longer had time to miss the old ghost, because Ah Nian's face really smiled like a flower.

Sister Zijin couldn't help but smile, and they went down the mountain hand in hand.

The author has something to say: s: Good lunch everyone, I’m thinking about writing a side story about an old ghost gd1806102:
