The farmer has a mall

Chapter 298 Fake Li Chunmei
Wen Ran, who was too scared to say anything before, suddenly became excited when he heard this.

"Students don't!" He denied shamefully and angrily, his face flushed red.

"Students study sage books, how can they be greedy for money, not to mention that Miss Chunmei is the student's savior. The two of us have already made a covenant. When student Chunxi enters the list, we will marry her. Who knows that God will not fulfill his wish... "

Wen Ran's eyes were red, and he slowly told what happened to him.

He grew up in a poor family, and his mother lived frugally for him to study hard for ten years. He even sold the few acres of land three years ago to raise enough money for him to attend the exam in Beijing.

In order to save money, Wen Ran took a shortcut and walked through a mountain path, but unexpectedly encountered wolves!
While fleeing in a panic, Wen Ran rolled down from a high place. Although he escaped being eaten by wolves, he broke his leg and couldn't move.

Facing the several-meter-high hillside, he could only wait there to die.

Three days later, when he was so hungry and dizzy, he didn't even have the strength to move his fingers, and thought he was going to die, Li Chunmei rescued him like a fairy who fell from the sky.

Not only took him home to take good care of him, but also took out his own savings and asked a doctor to prescribe medicine for him.

The two had been together for a long time, and they secretly fell in love with each other, and soon they made a private decision for life.

Missing Chun Wei's Wen Ran's promise due to leg problems, he will marry her as his wife in the middle of next year.

Wen Ran said with a bitter face: "Although the students are not considered to be extremely talented, they are more diligent than others. Although they can't guarantee the top three in high school, there is no problem at all in being a finalist."

"The student hoped that her leg would get better soon, so that she could marry her in the next year, but the doctor told her that my leg would never get better..."

People with disabilities are not allowed to participate in scientific examinations, no matter what dynasty or generation this is the rule.

Han Chuang studied hard for ten years and wiped out his family's wealth, but when he got such bad news, Wen Ran felt all hope was lost.

I stopped reading the books I held in my hand every day, and just stared blankly in the direction of my hometown.

Li Chunmei, who didn't know the truth, only thought that he missed his old mother, and tried every means to collect some money, reluctantly sent him to the carriage back home, and made an appointment with him to see him again next spring.

Knowing that he was disqualified from taking the scientific examination, Wen Ran didn't dare to look her in the eye, responded indiscriminately, and left without looking back.

A year passed in a flash, and Wen Ran spent every day in thoughts and self-blame, and he felt a little dazed.

Only then did Wen's mother realize the strangeness of her son, and after asking the reason thoroughly, she slapped him hard.

This was the first time Wen Ran had been beaten since he was a child, and the beating made him feel pain in his heart.

Mother Wen beat him because she thought he had cheated on the girl. No matter what, he shouldn't have disappeared without a confession.

Wen Ran was also woken up by his mother's slap, so he cheered up and went to the town to find a job. After a year, he saved enough money, left his mother with a family and went out.

However, Wen Ran, who was eager to return home, arrived in Li Chunmei's village, but felt uneasy in his heart.

I haven't seen him for two years, I don't know if she still hates him, if she will be happy to see him again, or if she is already married...

With an uncertain mood, Wen Ran wandered outside the village for a few days, and finally gritted his teeth and went up the mountain.

But when he pushed open the familiar wooden door, he saw only dust in the yard.

After asking the villagers at the foot of the mountain, they found out that Li Chunmei went to the capital alone after Chunwei passed the second year after he left, and never returned.

Wen Ranru was struck by lightning, knowing that she was looking for her, so she limped to the capital with her luggage on her back.

"Living in the capital is not easy. The students tried their best to find Miss Chunmei. They wanted to stay and continue to look for her, but they couldn't find a job because of a lame leg."

He looked sad, and the despair of not being able to find his lover was accompanied by tears falling slowly.

The capital is full of talents, and the most indispensable thing is scholars. Who would abandon a normal person and use a person with handicapped legs?
In desperation, Wen Ran had no choice but to leave the capital, asked someone to deliver a letter to his mother, and then stayed at Li Chunmei's house.

This stay has lasted more than half a year, he was looking forward to seeing that familiar petite figure every day, but he never got his wish.

And for more than half a year, the villagers saw that he was pitiful, so they hired him as a private school teacher to teach the children in the village.

Although he didn't have much money, saving up enough money was enough for him to go to the capital again.

Unexpectedly, before he had saved enough money, Fu Tuo's people went looking for him.

After listening to his narration, there was silence in the royal study.

Everyone understood that Gu Nanyan's purpose was to let Wen Ran prove that Li Chunmei in the palace was not the real Li Chunmei.

After all, it was obvious that the daughter of an Orion family, no matter how good her skills were, would not be able to escape the Imperial Forest Army in the palace.

And that Chunmei girl, I'm afraid something happened to her a long time ago, and she will never be found again.

"The county yamen are ordered by the imperial court to select innocent girls of the right age from among the people, who are recommended by local gentry or famous families to enter the palace as maidservants, and this fake Li Chunmei was selected into the palace two years ago."

"Her recommender is Xiang Changming, the owner of the largest rouge shop in the capital."

Gu Nanyan said slowly, then looked in the direction of Concubine Xian.

"If you want to come to this person, Concubine Xian should be no stranger."

Emperor Anyang was a little surprised, but he didn't expect to involve Concubine Xiangui again.

"What's the origin of Xiang Changming?"

Choosing a court lady is different from choosing a concubine, the requirements are not so strict, as long as there are no defects.

However, one must have a clean background, lest some people with ulterior motives sneak into the palace, so even if the palace maids are recommended, the screening is very strict, even if the general merchants are rich, they will not be good if they are not famous.

"Xiang Changming is considered to be a well-known wealthy businessman in the middle of Beijing. Every [-]th day of the Lunar New Year, he will set up a shed outside the city to give porridge and medicine to the homeless or poor. He is a well-known benevolent person in the capital."

Emperor Anyang stroked his beard in relief when he heard the words, and praised: "This kind of kindness is indeed worthy of the word 'good man'. If all my merchants in Anyang follow him as an example, there will be no starvation in the world."

"However, what is his relationship with my noble concubine?"

Gu Nanyan rolled her eyes at him and refused to comment on his naive thoughts.

"Xiang Changming took a concubine a few years ago, the wife of Ding Moqin, the editor of the Imperial Academy, and the daughter of her natal cousin."

"Ding Moqin?" Emperor Anyang murmured.

"I remember that my concubine's elder brother worked in the Imperial Academy."

"That's right, Ding Moqin is indeed my elder brother." Concubine Xian looked at Gu Nanyan, and said with a faint smile, "The princess wants to say that this assassin is my elder brother, Master Ding?"

Gu Nanyan smacked his lips: "Not really."

"It might be yours, too."

Concubine Xian's eyes twitched, and she twitched her mouth stiffly: "Princess, you are joking, how could I send such a dangerous person into the palace, even Master Ding would not."

"Besides, even if this person is recommended by Xiang's family to enter the palace, he may be dropped by others after entering the palace. How can he insist that she has something to do with my natal family?"

"After all, as you said, Li Chunmei wears a face scarf all year round. No one has ever seen her face. Even if she changes people, no one will know."

Her voice was as gentle as usual, without the slightest hint of guilt.

"I'm afraid I will disappoint Concubine Xian, then Li Chunmei did change before entering the palace." Fu Tuo said.

"Why is the prince so sure?" Concubine Wan was puzzled, and cast a hesitant glance at Concubine Xian.

"Because Li Chunmei is not qualified to enter the palace at all!"

"Why?" Emperor Anyang asked very curiously.

Fu Tuo wriggled the blood jade finger in his hand, the old god was there.

"Everyone only knows that Li Chunmei covers her face all day long, but they don't know the reason why she covers her face is because there is a palm-sized birthmark on her right cheek!"

It would shock the nobles in the palace, the maids entering the palace must have no scars on their faces, not even small birthmarks, let alone ones as big as a palm.

Therefore, Li Chunmei did not have the conditions to enter the palace from the very beginning, as long as Xiang Changming was not blind, it is absolutely impossible to recommend her to enter the palace!
