Style: Historical Author: Song HunWords: 3311Update Time: 24/01/12 11:34:02
Liang Shanqiu's parents have died long ago, and his only parents now are his adoptive father and adoptive mother.

Of course, the adoptive parents wanted Liang Shanqiu to get married, but the person they wanted to marry was not Zhu Yingxiu, but Ren Liqin.

They have no sons, and their only daughter is Ren Liqin.

Their life plan is for Liang Shanqiu to become his uncle and provide for them until they die.

Now this future uncle is really striving for success. Not only has he been admitted to the Juren Examination, he has also been admitted to the Jinshi Examination, and he has even become the county magistrate.

The old couple was so excited that they couldn't sleep all night. They were talking about leaving for Chengdu tomorrow.

The old couple were very thrifty, and with the constant support from Ren Liqin's role as "weaver girl", they also made a lot of money.

With this money, they can travel from Changzhou to Chengdu.

The only thing I want now is to turn my adopted son into an uncle and have a grandson as soon as possible.

Of course, if there are more children, one of them must have the surname Ren so that the Ren family can continue the family legacy.

After a month of climbing mountains and wading in rivers, a family of three finally arrived at the legendary Land of Abundance.

They did not have time to visit Jintang County, which was famous inside and outside the Song Dynasty, so they came directly to Lingquan County.

They looked at Lingquan County curiously and saw that Lingquan County was bleak and cold in popularity, far away from Changzhou, and the entire county was relatively shabby.

But after all, this is under the rule of the future uncle. While they are pointing, they are full of longing for the future.

The Yamen was also very deserted. There were not as many people as expected. With the sixth room and the third class, there were only a few dozen people.

Now there is no county magistrate, county captain, or chief registrar. After all, this is a small county.

Hearing that the county magistrate's father was here, the policeman ran quickly.

When his adoptive father and mother arrived from thousands of miles away, Liang Shanqiu respectfully knelt down to greet them, regardless of the fact that the ground was not very clean.

Ren's father hurriedly stepped forward and helped Liang Shanqiu up. With tears streaming down his face, he said, "Qiu'er, now that you are promising, you have lived up to the expectations of your biological parents and us."

Liang Shanqiu hurriedly said he didn't dare, and knelt down to thank his adoptive father and mother for their upbringing.

This child must have too many etiquette, even though we are your adoptive parents.

Ren Liqin's parents thought of this, but they were still very happy. Although they were county magistrates, they were still very filial.

Father Ren and Mother Ren looked at each other and couldn't help but smile. It was really worth it for them to come here all the way from Changzhou.

Father Ren looked at his daughter who was looking down shyly and elegantly dressed, and then at Liang Shanqiu, who looked talented in a green official uniform, and couldn't help laughing.

"Qiu'er, you and Qin'er are not young at all, and now that you are successful and famous, you should get married." Father Ren and Mother Ren were full of smiles and formally urged Liang Shanqiu to get married.

"No, Qiu'er cannot marry his sister!" Liang Shanqiu replied flatly.

"Why not? Do you want to abandon Qin'er when you become the county magistrate?" Ren's father was furious, his chest was rising and falling, and he pointed at Liang Shanqiu, almost fainting.

"Because she...she..." Liang Shanqiu didn't know what to say.

"She, what's wrong with her?" Ren's mother supported her wife and stared at Liang Shanqiu bitterly, asking him to tell him.

Liang Shanqiu bit his lip and said flatly: "Because she doesn't follow the rules of women!" Liang Shanqiu looked at Ren Liqin and finally said.

Ren Liqin's face was pale and shaky, and she said: "Brother, what are you talking nonsense? You are insulting my sister's innocence. My sister is dead."

At this time, Liang Shanqiu respectfully knelt down and said to the two old people: "Qiu'er will always remember the kindness of his parents in raising him, and he will definitely support these two old people as his biological parents."

At this point, he ignored the pale Ren Liqin and said, "I will never marry my sister in this life."

"Qiu'er, don't think that since you become the county magistrate, I won't dare to beat you. It's natural for me to beat my son." Ren's father became furious and pointed at Liang Shanqiu and said.

Liang Shanqiu still knelt on the ground, raised his neck high, and said: "Even if the father beats his son to death, the son will not marry his sister."

"You have grown up and your wings have become strong. Now you dare to deny your parents." Elder Ren burst into tears and pointed at Liang Shanqiu and said, "You, my son, don't admit it."

Liang Shanqiu still knelt on the ground respectfully and said: "How dare your son forget the kindness of his parents in raising him? But my son is determined not to marry his sister."

Ren Liqin held her head and cried, covered her face and ran outside the Yamen, causing people in the Yamen to avoid it.

They discussed carefully and shook their heads. They did not expect that the magistrate would encounter such things just after taking office.

After all, this is a matter within the magistrate's family. Maybe they can discuss it in private, but they would never dare to say it in person.

These people shook their heads while discussing. The fact that the magistrate abandoned his engaged wife just after he took office would definitely have a huge impact on his reputation and career.

Some older officials' expressions changed when they saw Liang Shanqiu.

Liang Shanqiu had just taken office. Not only was he young and talented, but he had also become a county magistrate, which made these old fritters jealous.

Unexpectedly, Liang Shanqiu could not help but rejoice in the misfortune.

Not only did they relish in others' misfortune, they also decided to publicize today's incident everywhere and tarnish the reputation of the new county magistrate.

They have already planned how to make the new magistrate miserable until he can no longer hold his head high and will run away from his subordinates when they see him.

Only in this way can they completely control the new magistrate, evade the magistrate, and gain greater power from the magistrate.

They have decided to turn the new magistrate into a puppet, allowing them to manipulate him at will to maximize their benefits.

Ren Liqin's parents were happy to come to Chengdu from Changzhou with their daughter. They never expected that their uncle would turn into someone else's uncle?

Liang Shanqiu, your parents died young, so we saved a lot of money to support you in your studies. Now that you are getting ahead, is this how you repay us?

Ren Liqin's parents were so angry that they wanted to fight Liang Shanqiu.

As soon as Ren Liqin rushed out, she met an aunt.

The aunt stopped her and kept asking her questions, which finally gave her some comfort.

When the aunt found out that her fiancé had abandoned her, she said, "This is simple, isn't there a government?"

"How does the government control this?" Ren Liqin asked while wiping her tears.

The kind-hearted aunt said: "Let's go to court."

"But if the slave family doesn't know how to write a complaint, how can they file a lawsuit?" Ren Liqin asked doubtfully.

"I can find someone to write a complaint for you, but it will cost you copper coins." The aunt stared at her and said.

In fact, this aunt is the wife of a petty official, and her purpose is naturally to discredit the new magistrate.

The bigger the lawsuit gets, the worse Liang Shanqiu's reputation becomes.

The idea of ​​these petty officials is that Liang Shanqiu is famous not only in Lingquan County, but also in Chengdu Prefecture, and even in the entire Chengdu Prefecture.

But these people guessed the beginning, but not the end.

But I didn't expect that the ending would be unexpected. It was not Liang Shanqiu who abandoned Ren Liqin, but Ren Liqin who abandoned Liang Shanqiu.

Neither his father nor his mother believed in this result, thinking that the crows in the world were like blackbirds, so of course they were officials guarding each other.

The worst case scenario is that I go back to sell my house and go to the imperial palace in the capital to beat the Dengwen drum!

In Sichuan, your officials guard each other, but the emperor does not.

Seeing the angry looks of Ren Liqin's parents, this problem must be solved.

Although the Emperor will eventually understand the truth, none of you Sichuan officialdom can handle this matter well.

If these little things are taken care of, what else does the officialdom need from you guys?

Having found a solution, Zhao Ping asked his mother to persuade Ren Liqin's parents.

Seeing that her mother was not only as beautiful as a fairy, but also had a royal decree, Ren Liqin's parents had no choice but to open the door to welcome her.

The mother told Ren Liqin's parents that they could find a doctor in Jintang County and take her daughter's pulse.

They didn't believe it and went to one doctor after another before they found out that Ren Liqin was indeed pregnant.

It was like a bolt from the blue. I didn’t expect that my daughter would become pregnant out of wedlock.

The two old men's mouths were shaking and they both covered their faces.

Ren's father picked up his palm and was about to hit his daughter.

Ren's mother hurriedly stopped him and said, "Qin'er is pregnant. If you do this, you will kill two people."

"Could it be that the fetus is Liang Shanqiu's?" After thinking for a while, Ren's mother said after thinking about it.

It is indeed possible. Could this fetus be Liang Shanqiu's?

But Liang Shanqiu has been studying, and Ren Liqin has been working as a weaver in the weaving workshop for a long time.

He basically had no contact with Ren Liqin and was obviously not from Liang Shanqiu.

Whose is this? Under severe questioning from her parents, Ren Liqin finally confessed.

This belongs to the bankrupt Ma Rong, not Liang Shanqiu at all.

Father Ren slapped Ren Liqin's face this time.

Ren Liqin hugged her face and cried loudly. Ren's mother hurriedly persuaded Ren's father and comforted Ren Liqin.

Ren's father wanted to hit Ren Liqin angrily, but Ren's mother hugged her tightly.

Father Ren was so angry that he stamped his feet, pointed at Ren Liqin and scolded her: "If Qin'er had admitted earlier that she had lost her virginity, the matter could have been settled quietly and privately. Now not only is my daughter's reputation bad, but Qiu'er's reputation is also bad."

When he said this, he couldn't help but shed tears. He raised his hands and looked at the sky and said, "God, this villain committed evil in his previous life, and he punished our family like this."

"God, if you want to punish me, just punish me." At this point, he couldn't help but kneel on the ground and burst into tears.

Zhao Ping and his mother saw him behind and felt that Ren's father was still a loyal person.

He stepped forward and saluted Ren's father and said, "My father-in-law, things are not as bad as you seem. There is still room for redemption."

Father Ren couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that it was Zhao Ping, a disciple of this god.

If Zhao Ping can't solve it, who else can solve it? He said it can be solved if it can be solved.

Zhao Ping proposed that if Liang Shanqiu wanted to get married, his parents must be present.

Ren's father looked at Ren Liqin. If this daughter was not so vain, then it would definitely be his daughter who got married.

Thinking of this, he sighed, hesitated and nodded with a wry smile.

Although Liang Shanqiu is an adopted son, he currently has no other sons, and his daughter's reputation has been ruined, so she can only place her hopes on Liang Shanqiu.

Soon, Liang Shanqiu and Zhu Yingxiu found an auspicious day and finally got married.

Although the two went through twists and turns, with Zhao Ping's help intentionally or unintentionally, they finally came to a happy ending.

But the matter was not over yet. Yun Wuya suddenly jumped out to scare Zhao Ping and Liang Shanqiu.
