The journey of the heavens by Jia Huan, the salted fish

From the second wife's mouth, Jia Huan learned that he had a cousin.

It is known that this exiled cousin and his first cousin Jia Yu are twin brothers.

It is even more known that these two people are not Mrs. Hou's biological children, but the children who were left behind by their mother.

The biological mother of the two brothers was the fertility tool specially prepared for herself by Mrs. Hou.

Mrs. Hou's body was unable to conceive a child, so she prepared a tool for herself early in the morning.

There were many nights when Madam Hou would get Mr. Hou drunk and then ask a servant to serve him.

The tool man didn't know Mrs. Hou's tool, and thought that she was also the Marquis's woman, and would become his aunt in the future, give birth to children, become half-master of the Marquis's house, and call his slaves and maids.

When it was confirmed that the tool was pregnant, Mrs. Hou pretended to be pregnant herself.

When she was about to give birth, Mrs. Hou took the tool man to her dowry village. After the tool man gave birth to a child, she took advantage of the tool man.

Mrs. Hou returned to the Hou Mansion with the child born by the tool man, but she did not expect that the tool man had a child in his belly.

The person who collected the body of the tool man found that the child in the body was still alive, so he dug the child out of the body of the tool man.

The corpse collector was a childless old woman who wanted to adopt a child and raise him to die.

The old woman then took her children away from the capital and settled down in her hometown in the northwest, a village.

But the old woman did not live for a few years. When the child was six years old, the old woman died.

Fortunately, not long after her death, the child was adopted by an old Taoist priest on the mountain near the village.

The old Taoist priest said that the child was very intelligent and accepted him as his disciple.

More than ten years later, the old Taoist priest passed away, and a child named Qingxu inherited the Taoist temple, although it was a very dilapidated and small Taoist temple.

But at least the child has a place to live, an acre of land, and can support himself.

And he was discovered because a clan member of the Hou Mansion went to the northwest to do business. He passed by the mountain in the middle of the night and went to the Taoist temple to stay overnight. He saw the little Taoist priest Qingxu who looked exactly like the prince Jia Yu.

The tribesmen were very surprised and always felt that the little Taoist priest Qingxu might have something to do with the Hou Mansion.

After returning to the capital, he told the Marquis about the incident.

The Marquis also felt that something was fishy, ​​so he sent his confidants to investigate the little Taoist priest Qingxu.

The confidants followed the clues of the old woman who adopted the little Taoist priest Qingxu and found out Mrs. Hou's dowry, the tool man, and a series of designs of Mrs. Hou.

Mr. Hou was furious and went to Mrs. Hou to verify.

Faced with the evidence, Mrs. Hou could not deny it and could only admit it.

The Marquis sent people to the northwest to pick up the young Taoist priest Qingxu.

After all, he is the blood of the Hou family, and the Marquis cannot let him wander outside.

And this incident spread in the Hou Mansion, and the aunts and concubines in the first house started jumping up and down.

They believed that the prince was not the legitimate son, but the child of an unknown woman. His status was not even as high as that of a concubine. Why should he be the prince of the Hou family?
They all want to be the heirs of the Hou Mansion themselves.

Lord Houhehe.

The Marquis is not someone who dotes on his concubines and kills his wife, and he will not allow his concubine to jump on Mrs. Hou's head just because she has done something wrong - after all, Mrs. Hou's natal family is no worse than the Hou Mansion.

The prince recorded in the genealogy is Mrs. Hou's son, so he is the legitimate son.

A named legitimate son is also a legitimate son.

The most important thing is that the prince was carefully raised by the Marquis. He is very satisfied with his legitimate son, much more satisfied than his other sons.

Moreover, the legitimate son is also the prince's companion. With this status alone, it is impossible for the Marquis to deprive him of his status as heir apparent.

Mr. Hou and Mrs. Hou discussed it and told the public that the little Taoist priest Qingxu was weak when he was born and was afraid that he would die young.

A Taoist priest told his fortune and said that he could grow up healthily only by practicing spiritual practice.

In order for the child to survive, Mr. Hou and Mrs. Hou had no choice but to let their son be taken away by the Taoist priest even if they were reluctant to give up.

Now 20 years have passed and the child has grown up healthily.Mr. Hou and Mrs. Hou took the man back to the capital, thinking that it would be best for him to return to secular life, marry a wife and have children.

The Marquis issued a hush-hush order in the palace, prohibiting any mention of the origins of Jia Yu and the young Taoist priest Qingxu, otherwise he would not be lenient.

Naturally, the servants in the mansion did not dare to discuss it any more.

Although the aunts and concubines of the big house were unconvinced, they did not dare to disobey the Marquis's order and could only stop their activities.

But they want to vent their unhappiness.

They couldn't do anything to the Crown Prince, after all, the Crown Prince controlled more powerful connections than them.

They were no match for the Crown Prince.

Then the other person is the person they vent to.

A little Taoist priest from a small place in the countryside has no connections or abilities, why should he just let them bully him?

Unless the prince wants to stand up for his biological brother.

But will the prince do it?
Presumably he doesn't like this brother who has exposed his true identity.

Without this biological brother, he would have always been the legitimate son of the Hou family, and he was the envy of everyone.

Where it becomes as awkward as it is now.

I guess I hate this person to death.

Thinking like this, the bastards were sharpening their knives and waiting for the young Taoist priest Qingxu to return home. They would first give him a showdown and then bully him in various ways.

The second room has seen enough drama.

The second lady was extremely happy.

She and Mrs. Hou have never dealt with each other.

Mrs. Hou relied on her good background and always looked down on the second lady who came from an imperial merchant. She often said that the second lady was a stinker.

The second lady hated Mrs. Hou very much. This time she was finally able to see Mrs. Hou's jokes. The second lady always ate one more bowl of food for a month.

If she hadn't been afraid of offending Mr. Hou, she would have wanted people to set off firecrackers to celebrate.

The second lady took Jia Huan to watch the joke together.

Maybe Mrs. Fuji likes Jia Huan's son the most.

Although the eldest son is very good, he only focuses on studying and outside affairs, and cannot talk to the second wife.

But Jia Huan was able to accompany the second lady to share gossip.

The second lady was naturally partial to Jia Huan, the younger son.

The second lady didn't care how good her son was. She said that with the family fortune of the Hou Mansion, her son would live well after the family was separated.

The second wife cares more about whether her son is caring to her.

The eldest son was not considerate to begin with, but after marrying his daughter-in-law, he only wanted her daughter-in-law. The second wife was even more dissatisfied, and her heart turned even more towards the younger son.

The second lady actually hid part of her private property, which was left to her youngest son Jia Huan in the future.

Jia Huan knew the arrangement of the second wife and was grateful to his mother in this life.

Every time I return to the Hou Mansion, I spend most of my time with the second lady.

"Huan'er, come on, I've asked someone to make your favorite couple."

The second lady waved to Jia Huan.

Jia Huan walked forward with a smile and sat down next to the second lady.

"Mother, I heard that the Taoist priest Qingxu has entered the city?!"
