Chapter 103 Things Twenty Years Ago

"The villain's Yue family's surname is Sun, and the Sun family's ancestral delivery skills are inherited by the Sun family. The villain's wife is the only daughter in the family, and the villain is the son-in-law of the family," Tang Shun sighed and continued, "Although the Sun family is doing business with a family of aunts and sisters, it is impossible to go to the top, but it can often go to and from wealthy families. The villain does not brag. More than 20 years ago, except for the nobles in the palace, the wealthy families in the capital all invited the Sun family's wife to deliver the baby."

Tang Shun sighed again, as if he was sighing endlessly: "It was just spring that year, and the villain's wife came back from outside, and was both happy and worried. What was happy was that a wealthy wife was about to arrive, and she offered a high price of fifty taels of silver, so she asked her to go to the mansion in advance to take care of the mother waiting for the delivery. She also said that as long as she was safe, no matter whether she had a boy or a girl, she would give her another fifty taels of Fenghong. This was the first-class price in the capital. My mother's face was shining, so she was happy; but it made her worry.

It's not a small matter. It turns out that the wife is in poor health. She has two children who have died before. They all died soon after they fall into trouble. My wife has experience. She said that this situation is actually no wonder that the mother is stable. This is the reason for the child's parents. Either the parents' families have inherited hidden diseases that affect the offspring, or the parents' own physical condition is not good, and the child is weak from the womb and cannot survive even after birth. But she can't tell the master's words, and people don't believe it after saying this."

At this point, everyone in the hall guessed who the family was.

Zhang Ruoxi's wife gave birth to two children in succession, and all died young. Mrs. Zhang couldn't afford to suffer.

The prefect Li asked in a deep voice: "Tang Shun, who is the family your wife is talking about?"

Tang Shun turned around and looked at Zhang Ruoxi with small eyes. He was still timid, but he had already straightened his back.

"If you want to go back to the adult, the one who asked the villain to deliver the baby is Zhang Shanchang's house. The villain went to his house to find my wife, so he knew him!"

"It's nonsense. Zhang has never seen this person before. Please do not listen to this slutty talk." Zhang Ruoxi said coldly.

The eldest prince coughed dryly and ignored Zhang Ruoxi. He said to Tang Shun: "Tang Shun, continue talking, does your wife take on this business? So what happened later, why didn't she come with you?"

Tang Shun suddenly lay on the ground and kowtowed a few times. When he raised his head again, his forehead was covered in purple.

"The villain's wife was very hesitant. The mother of the family had already lost two births in a row, and this was inevitable. So she went to discuss with her aunt that her aunt was more experienced than her and had a few tricks in her hands. Because she was old and had a tremor, she stopped taking business. The villain still remembered that my wife came back happily that day and said that she could take it on the business. The villain asked her carefully, and she said that her aunt taught her a secret recipe. If the child is lucky, it would be fine. If the child is lucky, she could live for a full month. As long as the child is full of a month, it would not be blamed for the peaceful lady."

"What happened later?" As soon as Tang Shun stopped, the people watching outside shouted at him in unison.

Tang Shun looked outside and continued: "The villain's wife moved into the Zhang family seven days in advance. By the way, this Zhang family is not the Zhang family in the lotus pond, nor the Zhang family in the front street of Baoxiang Temple, but the Zhang family in Liushu Hutong."

Tang Shun said something a bit confusing, but anyone who is familiar with the Zhang family can understand it at first.

The Zhang family in Lotus Pond is an old house, living in the Zhang family's legitimate house. Now the Tongzheng envoy Zhang Er lives there.

The Zhang family in Baoxiang Temple Front Street is the second house of the Zhang family. Mr. Zhang Ruoxi and Mr. Zhang Wu are the second houses. The second house's family member is Mr. Zhang San. Ten years ago, after Mr. Zhang San passed away, Mr. Zhang San lived there with his three sons. Now the person in charge is Mr. Zhang Tao. After Mr. Zhang Wu was released back to Beijing, he has not bought a house for the time being, and the family also lives in Baoxiang Temple Front Street.

The Zhang family in Liushu Hutong is Zhang Ruoxi's house. As we all know, Zhang Ruoxi moved to Shanshuixiang after his wife died. Before that, his family lived in Liushu Hutong.

"One day, my wife asked a servant to come to my house to report the news, saying that Zhang Jinshi's family gave birth to a daughter, and that mother and daughter were safe, and my wife would have to stay in the Zhang family for a few more days. After the three rituals, she would come back, so I feel relieved. I heard that I was very happy in the future. At least the daughter of the Zhang family died without falling into the grass. This is of course a good thing. Three days later, I went to the Zhang family to pick up people. Everyone should know that all the gold and silver rituals that the wealthy families rewarded during the three rituals were collected by Wen Po. This Jinshi is a child of the Zhang family in the Lotus Pond. It is a first-class wealthy family. The reward must be indispensable. My wife brought so many things alone. If she was stolen, it would be troublesome. Therefore, when I went there, I brought my eldest son with me.

The eldest son was fourteen years old that year, like a calf. My father and I happily went to Liushu Hutong to pick up people. On the way, I promised him to the eldest son. His mother came back to get the money, so she took him to the Zhuangyuan Building for a good meal. But when we arrived at Liushu Hutong, the doormen heard that we were here to pick up people, so they told us that my wife had left an hour ago. At that time, we really believed it, and thought the two had gone apart. I promised that she went back alone and met someone who robbed money, so I hurriedly took her eldest son home. But there was only my five-year-old daughter at home, and her mother had never come back at all.

I panicked as soon as I heard this, and took my son out to look for it, but it was dark and we found no one. There was no way, so I had to come to Liushu Hutong again. The door insisted and said that my wife had already gone home. I was half-believing and half-doubted, and I couldn't help but argue with him. The soldiers of the city passed by here and asked us why we were quarreling. I told the people about my woman's disappearance. The people of the city patrol asked the door again, but they didn't expect that the door said that my wife had probably run away with a wild man and humiliated me in every way. My eldest son was young and energetic. When the door said this, he was so angry that he beat the door in front of the city patrol soldiers.

This alarmed Zhang Jinshi. It was Mr. Zhang Shanzhu. I thought he would explain my wife's affairs after he came out, but he didn't expect that he asked the patrolman to capture my son. He was an official. Besides, the patrolman saw my son beat people with his own eyes, so he really captured the man in the Five City Military and Ma Si.

I was worried about my eldest son, so I stuffed a few taels of silver and asked them to take care of it so that the prisoners would bully him. I continued to look for my wife. After searching for it all night, I was caught by the patrolmen again. There was no way, both of them entered the five cities. The next day, they sent me home to get the fine, but as soon as I entered the house, I found that my little daughter was missing! As soon as I ran out of the house, I heard someone say that a dead child was fished out of the well. When I went over, I saw that the one fished out of the well was my daughter!"
