Chapter 1124: A Replaced Life
However, Qi Wang was too lazy to listen to his preaching, so he threw down the words, "I still have something to do," and walked out of the house with big strides.
Qi Baotian: "..."
This kid was originally quite obedient, but why did he become like this this time?
Qi Baotian was unhappy, but everyone had already left. Even if he was unhappy, there was no way. He shook his sleeves and turned around and entered the room.
But after Qi Wang left the Qi family, he did not go anywhere else, but staggered to the river.
There is a small river outside Taohua Village. The women in the village are basically doing their clothes by the small river. There are quite a few women washing clothes by the river. When they see Qi Wang coming, everyone immediately became interested and greeted him.
The people of the Great Zhou Dynasty were open-minded and were not as harsh as other dynasties. Men and women were not very careful in their defenses. As long as they did not do anything out of order, women did not have to avoid men when they saw them like they did in the previous dynasty.
In addition, the people who come to wash clothes are basically older women, and they are all Qi Wang's elders. In Taohua Village, a small village, they are related to each other, so they naturally need to avoid more things.
"Erzhu, you are back. How many days can you stay at home this time?"
"Erzhu, did your mother say you want to marry you when you come back this time? You are not young this year. Have your mother not prepared for this?"
As soon as an aunt from the Qi family spoke, the other women also reacted.
Yes, Qi Wang is twenty years old this year. On the other young men in the village, there have been several children, but Qi Wang has not yet made any noise.
The fourth and fifth ladies of the Qi family have all gotten married. The third child of Qi is different from other children because of his studies. What about Qi Wang? He doesn’t need to study and get a good fortune. Why has the marriage been delayed?
Everyone looked at Qi Wang together, and muttered in their hearts.
Could it be that the Qi family didn't love Qi Wang? This is not right. The work he had given to Qi Wang to the county town was given to him. If it weren't for his love for him, such a good work wouldn't be given to him. He could learn skills in a restaurant and still have two cents of silver a month. If it weren't for his son's plan, could he go to the county town?
Facing everyone's thoughtful look, Qi Wang still looked generous and open. He found an empty stone and sat down, raised his head and looked sad.
His look of "I have something to worry about and come and ask me quickly" attracted the attention of the big guy, and he couldn't help asking him what had happened.
"Erzhu, what's wrong with you? I finally came home and came here, why are you not in a good mood?"
"Yes, Erzhu, if there is anything, you can tell us, and we can also think of ways for you."
It is hard to refuse the kindness. Everyone is so enthusiastic about helping. How could Qi Wang hide anything from them?
"I just feel a little uncomfortable. My mother told me before that because my family had to support Sanzhu to go to school, there was no money and there was no way to arrange a marriage for me."
When others heard this, although they thought there was something strange, they could understand it. After all, studying is quite expensive. In addition to Shu Xiu, pen, ink, paper and inkstone are all a large amount of expenses, not to mention that Qi Qingfeng will have to go to the Mansion City to participate in the Mansion Examination next year. It is another large amount of money spent, so it is normal for money to be tight.
Or people often say that it is difficult for poor families to have noble children, but this is because of this reason, they are all caused by lack of money.
However, Qi Baotian and Qi Laodao are both very capable, and Qi Laosan also has stable jobs, otherwise, they would not be able to support Qi Qingfeng's schooling.
The Fourth Aunt, who had just spoken, said, "Erzhu, if the family is really difficult, it's nothing to wait. When Sanzhu is admitted to the juren, life will be better."
Although scholars and juren are only one level apart, their treatment is very different. People say that poor scholars and rich juren are. If Qi Qingfeng really can pass the juren, he will not have to rely on his family to get money in the future.
After hearing the Fourth Aunt's words, Qi Wang's face showed a strong bitterness. He sighed, and the expression on his face became a little more lonely.
"If it's for the three pillars, that's not good, but today I saw my mother take a tael of silver to my uncle, and I feel so uncomfortable..."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present couldn't help but gasp.
One tael of silver? That's not a small amount. You should know that the good acre of paddy fields here are only one tael of silver. If it's a little bit of land, you can buy two acres directly.
Wang Zhaodi gave her brother a tael of silver as soon as she made a move. Could she have made a fortune? Otherwise, would her hands be so relaxed?
But if you are really rich, how could you not arrange a marriage for your second son?
Everyone looked different, and they didn't know what they had guessed randomly.
Qi Wang seemed to have not noticed their expressions, and his mood became more and more depressed, and his words became more and more sad and pitiful.
"I have paid too much for this family. I only left a dozen copper coins for the monthly wages, and gave them all to my mother. My mother also said that the money will be saved for the sake of saving, and I will use it for me when I get married in the future... If the money is used by my third brother, I will not have any ideas, but why should I give so much money to my uncle?"
He didn't take Qi Wang's money, and gave it to that woman Wang Zhaodi? This is wrong. How did they remember that Wang Zhaodi said that she only took half of it and took all the rest to Qi Wang himself?
Wang Zhaodi probably never thought that her second son would run into the pile of women to complain. Perhaps because she was sure that the second boy was obedient and would not talk nonsense among the pile of women, she spoke strongly at the time, and she portrayed herself into a good mother who was not greedy for her children's money. As a result, as soon as Qi Wang came over, her Western scenery was naturally exposed.
"Oh, Erzhu, didn't your mother say she took half of your salary? Why did she take it all away? When did she start taking your money?"
Qi Wang replied honestly: "When I went to work, I knew that the restaurant was full of food and accommodation, so my mother asked me to hand over all the money to her."
Everyone didn't care about washing clothes and calculated silently. Qi Wang had been working in the county restaurant for four years, and had two taels and four cents of silver a year to calculate. After four years, there were almost nine taels of silver, not to mention that there were various rewards in the restaurant during the holidays. The money she could get was far more than this.
Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk, I thought Wang Zhaodi loved Qi Wang the most, but she didn't expect that she was so cruel. She got all the wages for him, but she didn't arrange marriages for him. It would be fine if she didn't arrange marriages. A person who is all grandmother still paid for his younger brother. He could do this with such a large amount of one tael of silver. How much money did she pay for when they didn't see it?
Everyone had all kinds of speculations in their hearts, but naturally they would not say it in front of Qi Wang, which made him feel heartbroken. Instead, everyone advised Qi Wang to not think about it.
"Oh, your mother didn't think it was intentional. He still loved you. If it weren't for you, she wouldn't have let you go to a restaurant to work."
"Yes, yes, maybe your mother is thinking about waiting for Sanzhu to pass the imperial examination and then looking for a better wife for you. Don't be anxious."
Everyone has everything they say, and some people ask Qi Wang to grow a little more attentively, don’t be as confused as before, and give all the money to his mother.
"Money is a courageous person. If you go back and discuss with your parents, you should keep some of it yourself. For such a big person, there are so many places to use money, so don't be so honest."
Qi Wang nodded nodded whenever everyone advised him, as if he had listened to everyone's persuasion.
Seeing him like this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that it was getting late, they had to cook when they went back, so they were busy cleaning the remaining clothes. After getting everything done, they greeted Qi Wang one after another, and then they left the river in groups in groups.
Because Qi Wang was in a bad mood, he wanted to relieve his depression here, but did not go back with them.
After everyone left, Qi Wang let out a long breath of turbid air, and his expression on his face was better than before.
The original owner was a big word and didn't know a single word. Because the intentional person was willing to let him go, his personality was a bit vulgar. It was not easy to maintain such a person's personality.
No one in the family knew the identity of the original owner except Wang Zhaodi, and no one in the village suspected that Qi Erzhu, who looked particularly outstanding, was not Qi Baotian and Wang Zhaodi.
After all, not all children look exactly like their parents in this year, and there are also things in the countryside where parents look good, but children are ugly, or their parents are ugly, but children are beautiful.
Although the original owner had outstanding appearance, he was ignorant and vulgar, which made his original good appearance a little bit, and he didn't look so outstanding.
The original owner always thought that he was the child of the Qi family, and he always felt that besides Qi Laosan, he was the most favored at home. After all, he was the only one who worked in the county town, and his parents have always treated him very well.
The original owner had an accident when he passed the imperial examination in Qi Qingfeng and was preparing to go to Beijing to take the imperial examination.
At that time, Qi Qingfeng passed the Juren exam and prepared to go to Beijing to take the exam. Because the journey was long, the Qi family was afraid that he would make any mistakes, so they asked the original owner to accompany him to Beijing for the exam.
However, on the way to Beijing on their boat, the original owner accidentally fell into the water. Because the river was turbulent and the boatman could not rescue him, the original owner drowned, and even the bones were not salvaged.
If it were just like this, the original owner would be afraid that he would regard all this as an accident and would think that everything was because he was not lucky enough to end up like this. However, all this was not an accident.
Only after the original owner died did he realize that he was not the child of the Qi family, but the youngest son of the prime minister of the current dynasty.
Twenty years ago, the life was far from as peaceful as it is now. When the Prime Minister's wife returned home, she met a refugee. By chance, she fell into Sanhe Village and was rescued by the village women there.
The Prime Minister's wife was pregnant, but because of frightened, the fetus was born prematurely, and the person who delivered the baby was the village woman who saved her.
The Prime Minister's wife had been in the village woman's house for half a month, but was finally found by her family and picked them up.
At that time, the Prime Minister's wife did not reveal her identity, but in order to thank the village woman who saved her, she still left a sum of money.
However, at that time, the prime minister was just a county magistrate, with limited money and not much money given, but for the merchants, the money was not too much.
A story that cannot be in the vulgarity happens like this.
The village woman who saved the Prime Minister's wife was Wang Zhaodi's mother, and the person who helped her deliver the baby was also Wang Zhaodi's mother.
But by chance, Wang Zhaodi, who went home to visit her parents at that time, also got angry and gave birth to a baby boy with the Prime Minister's wife.
Perhaps because of the obsession or for some other reasons, Wang Zhaodi secretly replaced the two children while the others were unprepared.
Her child became the child of the wife of the official family, and the child of the official family became Qi Erzhu.
Perhaps because of guilt, Wang Zhaodi was pretty good to the original owner, but these good things were not discovered before Qi Qingfeng's study talent, and after discovering it, the good things changed.
Later, the original owner died, and Qi Qingfeng successfully entered the capital to take the scientific examination. By chance, he met the youngest son of the prime minister of the dynasty.
The two are two years apart, but their appearance is very similar. People believe that they are twin brothers.
The appearance is so similar that it has nothing to do with it, and someone has to believe it.
The connections of the prime minister at that time are beyond ordinary people's imagination, and the truth will be revealed soon.
All the survey results show that everything is just an accident.
The prime minister's youngest son was extremely talented in studying and was the top scholar at the age of seventeen. Because of this reason, the prime minister has always liked this young son very much.
Later, even if the truth was revealed, he knew that the youngest son he liked was not his bloodline, and Cheng's feelings for him did not weaken much.
However, after knowing that he was not the prince of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he did not choose to stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but left the Prime Minister's Mansion and took his parents and relatives to the capital.
The original owner was already dead, and everything at the beginning was just an accident. In addition, the Prime Minister's family loved the house and the Wuwu family, so it was naturally excellent to treat the Qi family.
With the help of the prime minister, whether it was the real Qi Laoer or the third Qi Qingfeng, his career was very smooth. The real Qi Laoer was even a great minister. Because of him, the Qi family also became a noble family.
Everyone is very good, except for the original owner who died early.
His life was completely destroyed by Wang Zhaodi's own selfishness, but his biological parents gave the Qi family countless compensation, which almost equals supporting them step by step to the high position.
No one remembers the dead Qi Erzhu, who was like a trivial thing, and was naturally forgotten by everyone.
Qi Wang slowly opened his eyes and looked at the blue sky above his head, a hint of hostility appeared in his eyes.
Are there so many coincidences in this world?
Qi Wang didn't think so. The original owner was not very brave. He was very afraid of water because of a drowning experience when he was a child. He rarely went to the riverside. How could he fall off the boat because of enjoying the scenery when he was on the boat?
His death was not an accident, but it was obvious who was the one who attacked him.
No one suspected that Wang Zhaodi, a village woman, dared to change her two children. She did the first thing secretly. Except for her, no one knew that the original owner was not her biological son.
What's even more tricky is that Wang Zhaodi didn't tell anyone around her about the child.
However, Qi Wang felt that Wang Zhaodi should have told Qi Qingfeng about the original owner's life experience. In addition, she should have said something else. Perhaps Wang Zhaodi did not have the idea of letting the original owner die, but Qi Qingfeng, the man, still solved the original owner just in case.
No wonder the original owner was so resentful that he couldn't get rid of his resentment. After all, he was the biggest victim. The person who caused him could live freely and happily with his reasons. It would be strange if he didn't resent.
The distance from Taohua Village to Beijing is long. If you want to recognize your relatives, you can get the capital. However, before that, he would not mind asking for some interest.
Wang Zhaodi portrayed herself as a good mother, making everyone think she was very good to the original owner, but he just let her do it.
Wang Zhaodi's mask should be revealed. The fastest update for Lily is free and has no anti-theft or anti-theft.
