Chapter 2 Powerful Qingshanbao Gets Broken Engagement
Ye Fan finally remembered who the particularly famous celebrity named Niu Hulu was. He was the most corrupt official after the Qianlong Dynasty, known as Heshenhe in Hezhongtang.
He Shen is a man from the Zhenghong Banner. His father, Niu Hulu Changbao, was an official of the second rank Fujian Dutong (equivalent to the commander of a military division, sometimes called deputy capital). He was an honest official, but he died when He Shen was ten years old.
Except for leaving Heshen with the rank of third-class Yunqi Captain, nothing else was left. Therefore, the "Manuscript of Qing History" records that Heshen was young and poor, and this was the real reason.
Heshen's original name was Niu Hulu Shanbao. It is said that the name Heshen was changed to his Chinese name by a gentleman from the official school of Xian'an Palace after he went to school. As his official position became bigger and bigger, more and more people knew Heshen's name.
Gradually, the name Shanbao became less and less popular.
Yes, Ye Fan originally thought that his soul had traveled into the body of an ordinary person. It wasn't until he heard the name Chang Bao that he suddenly remembered that he was not only famous, but also very famous. He was actually the person mentioned in the ballad of later generations.
Heshen in "Heshen fell, Jiaqing was full".
However, he was only happy for a while. Looking at the miserable scene in front of him and thinking about Heshen's fate, his smile slowly solidified, and a voice came to his mind: "Do you really want to be Heshen? Do you really want to do it?
That big corrupt official He Shen? Do you really want to be that short-lived ghost He Shen?"
He fell into deep contemplation. On the one hand, he did not want to refuse the life of rich clothing and food, and on the other hand, he did not want to have his life ended by a piece of white silk at the age of forty-nine.
This is really a dilemma. Can we get the best of both worlds? His mind was spinning, and he suddenly reached out and patted his forehead. He smiled in his heart and said, "I seem to be stupid because of time travel. The fifteenth brother is probably still a little kid now."
I have hundreds of years more knowledge and experience than him, so why are you afraid that I can't defeat him? Why Bai Ling wants to die? I have to change this fate."
Ye Fan figured everything out and no longer struggled. Only then did he realize that the room was quiet and the young woman had long since disappeared.
Fu Bao is naturally He Lin, and as for the young woman, she is naturally He Shen's stepmother.
Ye Fan vaguely remembered that after the death of He Shen's biological mother, Chang Bao found a successor in order to take care of the two brothers. He was also a well-established figure. Her father was Wu Mitai, who eventually became the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and the Bachelor of Dongge University.
However, when she got married, Wu Mitai's official position was probably not high enough, right? Otherwise, even if she was a concubine, she would not have been allowed to be a second wife.
Ye Fan was thinking randomly.
It is said that Heshen's stepmother treated Heshen and Lin brothers very harshly. I met her today. She is a pretty good woman. Yes, after Heshen's death, all his achievements were wiped out, and the person who established his biography was
Since it is an official, it naturally tries its best to slander it. This is probably the case.
When Ye Fan was thinking wildly, a faint fragrance suddenly came from the end of his nose. He couldn't help but stop his thoughts, shrugged his nose vigorously, and his stomach also made a rumble. After a while, the closed door creaked, and Wu Mishi and
blessing
Bao Yi walked in one after another. Wu Mi held a bowl of steaming millet porridge in her hand, and Fu Bao also held a bowl in his hand. They actually ordered pickles with vinegar and chopped green onions, which was surprising.
The index finger moves greatly, and the appetite suddenly rises.
Ye Fan was also very hungry. He took the rice porridge from Wu Mishi's hand. He didn't care about burning his mouth and sipped on the pickles. Soon he had a big bowl of rice porridge, and then he felt that his stomach was empty.
A lot less, and now I have time to listen to Fu Bao talking in my ear:
"Brother, you are finally awake. You have been unconscious these days, which has made me and my mother very anxious. No, in order to treat you, my mother took out her favorite jade hairpin and let me use it as a pawn.
Wow, that pawnshop guy is really disgusting. He only gave ten taels of such good hairpins. This is not the way to bully people. He ****, when I become a general one day, I will have to plunder this pawnshop!"
"Fu Bao, don't say bad words!" Wu Mi said softly: "'How can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan?' You two brothers are both promising people. Don't take the words of a young person to heart."
Fu Bao nodded, and Shan Bao thought to himself that his E Niang was a sensible person. Suddenly, he remembered a question that had been confusing him, and couldn't help but blurt out: "E Niang, Ama's official position is in Fujian.
Du Tong, what's wrong with our family...?"
"Alas -" Wu Mi gave a long sigh and said nothing, but Fu Bao said: "I still don't believe it when I said that you have completely forgotten everything in the past. You really don't remember? Have you forgotten? Since Ama left,
Later, I got a serious illness, and my mother and you moved our front door
The shop was cashed out and the imperial doctor was invited to save my life. This time you broke your head and lay there for several days. My mother-in-law and I have discussed it. If you still don't wake up,
, we sold our Zhuangzi in Tongzhou and hired the imperial physician from the palace..."
That's right! Even if Chang Bao is upright and honest, as the highest military officer of a province, it is impossible that he has not saved a penny. By the way, there is Zhuangzi, but he said: "Since there is Zhuangzi, why is the family still like this...
…"
"There was a severe drought this year and almost no crops were harvested. Eniang saw that the tenants were pitiful, so she exempted them from rent. This is what we have agreed upon!" Wu Mi said softly. In ancient times, women paid attention to obeying their fathers at home.
She obeys her husband when she gets married, and obeys her son after her husband dies, so when faced with Ye Fan's questions, she didn't show any signs of impatience.
Ye Fan was not surprised that Wu Mi was kind-hearted, but when she said that she had discussed this matter with the original Shanbao, he must have agreed. This surprised Ye Fan. After thinking about it, although He Shen
He is known as a corrupt official, but many things are said by later historians. It is impossible to say how reliable it is, so he is relieved.
After solving the doubts in his heart, Ye Fan was so happy that he couldn't help but take a closer look at Mrs. Wu. He saw that she was in her mid-twenties, with picturesque features, almond-shaped eyes and peach cheeks, and she exuded a mature yet slightly green look.
Her astringent temperament is contradictory yet unified, making her a rare beauty. But although her eyes are bright, they can't hide the faint sadness and indignation hidden inside, making people feel pity at first sight.
.
Are you worried about your engagement being annulled? Or are you worried about your future life? I’m afraid it’s both, right? Ye Fan thought to himself, unconsciously gradually recognizing his current identity, and thought to himself:
"Since I have the fate to become a good treasure and a Heshen, I have the obligation to let you live a good life. As for breaking off the engagement, although Feng Wenwen is a well-educated and sensible person and has a deep love for Heshen and his wife, it is not because of what her grandfather did.
It doesn't matter if you don't want it - if you want to change your destiny, just start from this matter! Shouldn't you break off the engagement? I'll beg you to stop it by then!"
"Eniang, then Feng Mansion..." Ye Fan, oh, it should be Shanbao, he made up his mind, and was about to persuade Wu Mi, but was interrupted by the other party:
"Why, did you hear everything?"
"Well, I heard everything, but I can't move!" Shanbao didn't hide it either.
"It's good to hear it. Now that I think about it carefully, Ying Lian has some truth. After all, you have been lying in bed these days, except for hanging with your breath, just like a dead person. This is my granddaughter... Now
Well, God bless you, you have finally woken up. It just so happens that in two days it will be Mrs. Feng's fiftieth birthday. E Niang will prepare some birthday gifts for you and come to your door. When Ying Lian sees that you are in good health, he will naturally
Take back the idea of breaking off the engagement."
Shanbao smiled slightly: "Mom, don't worry about it. As the saying goes, time can tell people's hearts. Through this matter, we have finally come to know their family's character. It's just a good time to retreat. Now we can just go up to the pole and deliver it to my door. I will return the favor."
No more!"
"Bah," Mrs. Wu spat, "about our family's situation, you..." She wanted to say, "You don't know," but she stopped when she remembered Shanbao's current situation, paused and said, "Na Ying
Lian is the Minister of the Interior, a popular figure in front of the Long Live Lord. He is just such a precious granddaughter. It is your fate that he would like you to be his grandson-in-law. Listen to my mother and don’t be angry..."
Wu Mi's earnest words of persuasion aroused the arrogance in Shanbao's heart. He interrupted him and said proudly: "Eniang, don't say anything else. I have already made up my mind. It's not a big birthday, it's a big sedan chair."
I won’t go even if you lift me!”
