Chapter 172 Don’t give Zhu Qizhen a chance to be born!

Hu Jian, Huzhou Prefecture.

Jia Baoyu, looking haggard and emaciated, came to the gate of the dilapidated courtyard with a tray of food and handed it to the nanny guarding the door.

The old maids sent by the palace to look after the palace had cold faces like sculptures.

After carefully checking the dishes and making sure there were no problems, they were sent to the hospital.

Jia Baoyu looked at the closed courtyard gate, feeling sad.

The old lady was sick, and Mrs. Wang was locked up in the yard to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures. Jia Zheng was so busy all day that he didn't care about him at all.

It was not until this time that Jia Baoyu realized how pitiful a child without anyone loving him was.

Unfortunately, at this point there is nothing that can be done.

Without the service of beautiful maids, I had to do everything by myself.

He has to do all the washing and cooking, things that he used to be too lazy to do.

Without money, you can forget about romance.

Since he is from outside, the local playboys also give him face. Once he goes out, he will be framed and teased, and his life is miserable.

He really wanted to go back to the days when he lived in Rongguo Mansion, but unfortunately he no longer had the chance.

The only way out is to go to the provincial school with Jia Huan and study hard, trying to change his fate through studying.

Jia Baoyu, who was praised for his talent and thought that he would easily be nominated for the imperial examination if he studied hard, was shocked to find when he really started to study that his level was not much different from Jia Huan!
His so-called talent is nothing more than miscellaneous knowledge.

He was deeply averse to the eight-part essay format required for the imperial examination, so naturally his level of writing was not very good.

Back in his cramped room, Jia Baoyu lay on the bed and looked up at the unfamiliar ceiling, murmuring in pain, "Sisters, did you miss me?"

In the capital, there is the Grand View Garden.

The girls gathered in the Longcui Temple to listen to Miss Miaoyu's lecture.

Miaoyu was a nun who lived in the Grand View Garden with her hair uncut. She was originally invited by Mrs. Wang to live in the Grand View Garden.

Unexpectedly, not long after he arrived, the Jia family was gone and the entire Grand View Garden belonged to Chen Ran.

She originally wanted to leave, but Chen Ran allowed her to stay and pray for the women in the family.

Miaoyu, who had nowhere to go, agreed after being persuaded by Qin Keqing and others.

She is about the same age as Daiyu and the others, but due to health reasons she has to practice Buddhism with her hair uncut, and has lived in peace and tranquility with green lamps and ancient Buddhas for many years.

However, when Daiyu and others moved into the Grand View Garden, they dragged her along to play and party all day long, which unknowingly affected her determination to practice.

In order to cultivate her mind for spiritual practice, she specially invited all the sisters to come to Longcui Temple to study Buddhism.

"Sister Miaoyu." Lin Daiyu made a face and said, "Buddha said not to kill, but what if bandits come to kill us? Should we stick out our necks for them to kill?"

Xichun next to her immediately responded, "Sister Lin is so beautiful, the bandits won't be willing to kill you. If you stick out your neck, what will come to you is not a knife, but..."

Before she finished her words, Lin Daiyu was already laughing and reaching out to pinch her little face. "You dare to say anything? I'll tear your mouth to pieces~"

All the girls laughed and it was very lively.

"Yo~" Feng Jieer's mature female voice came from outside the door, "What are you talking about? You are laughing so happily."

Feng Jieer, whose figure had become noticeably plumper, teased as soon as she entered the room, "What good fortune did Miss Lin get that made you so happy?"

Lin Daiyu pinched her waist and pretended to be fierce. "You are a female imperial envoy. Why are you here if you don't want to confiscate the property? Are you planning to confiscate the Rongcui Nunnery of sister Miaoyu?"

The girls burst into laughter again. Yingchun, who was lively for once, hugged Miaoyu as if to protect her.

Wang Xifeng and Jia Tanchun together searched the entire Rongguo Mansion.

The good days of the servants in the house are over. Every household has been thoroughly investigated, and all the dirty deeds they have done in the past have been exposed.

Chen Ran doesn't care about anyone's face here, and he doesn't care whose maid you are or which lady's wife you belong to.

His response was very simple: first confiscate the person’s property and then exile him.

The confiscation of property included all the money, houses, and even the land and shops owned by the servants.

No matter who they were, they were all sent to be official slaves.

The most typical example is the Lai family.

Relying on the power of the Jia family, Lai worked as a servant when he was in the Jia family, but became the master when he returned to his own home.

The garden at home was beautifully cultivated, and he also owned farms and shops.

Even the grandsons in the family can donate money to become officials and become wealthy, just like those drivers who use lanterns to assess damages, they are so awesome.

Unfortunately, I met Chen Ran.

Everything in the house was confiscated, and the family members became official slaves. From then on, they were to do hard labor to build bridges and roads and repair city walls for the Zhou Dynasty.

If you want to make money from the government, that’s only possible in your dreams.

If they were civilians, it would be fine, but as slaves, their lives and property were in the hands of their masters.

Not to mention having solid evidence, even if there wasn't any, arranging their lives would be just a matter of a word.

Wang Xifeng and Jia Tanchun, thanks to Chen Ran's momentum, were able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Thinking back to when they were in the Jia family, even the so-called masters like them had to give face to these prominent servants, and even had to be ridiculed and unable to get things done.

Sister Feng's mouth is much more powerful than Sister Lin's. Suck... cough cough, she dares to say anything when she is against people. "What kind of ability do I have? I am still more capable. Miss Lin has a sharp tongue. I stayed with her for one night and couldn't even eat the next day."

Those who understand will naturally understand and will cover their mouths and laugh.

Those who don't understand are at a loss. They don't understand why Chen Ran went to stay at Lin Daiyu's house for one night, and why Lin Daiyu couldn't eat the next day?
When the topic comes to this point, Lin Daiyu is naturally no match for Feng Jieer.

She was so angry that she stamped her feet repeatedly and was about to go forward and start fighting, grabbing the hem of her skirt.

The laughter and joy in the Rongcui Temple also infected Miaoyu, who felt that this family seemed more interesting and humane than the Jia family who had always been controlling.

What she didn't know now was that this thought of hers would disappear in a few days.

The girls moved into the Grand View Garden one after another, while Chen Ran handled official business during the day and took turns living in different places at night according to the schedule. Among them, Jia Yingchun and Miaoyu lived together.

That night, the two played a few rounds of chess, chatted for a while, and then went to bed together.

After all, according to the schedule, Chen Ran will not come today.

But in the middle of the night, Miaoyu suddenly woke up.

The noise around her was so loud that she felt like she was in a dream.

Jia Yingchun suppressed her anger and asked, "Master, aren't we going to Hengwu Courtyard tonight?"

"Don't mention it, Baochai's relatives came early."

Miaoyu was confused. Miss Xue's relatives came? They should stay in the guest rooms, why are they staying in Hengwu Courtyard?

Jia Yingchun's fighting ability was very weak and she was quickly defeated.

Chen Ran, who was still not satisfied, went into the bed next door.

By the time Jia Yingchun gradually came to her senses and realized something was wrong and exclaimed "She is not Siqi~", Miaoyu's sobbing could be heard from next door.

A few days later, Longcui Temple closed because no one lived there.

The emperor finally couldn't hold on any longer and passed away when Xiu'er was six months old.

The new emperor's name was Xiu'er.

The emperor's will designated Chen Ran as regent, in charge of overseeing state affairs until the young emperor grew up.

The virtuous concubine who escaped naturally became the empress dowager.

Everything has settled.

Having gone through the training in the late Ming Dynasty, Chen Ran's ability to govern is beyond doubt.

He governed the country in a stable manner, gradually promoted the integration of officials and gentry in paying taxes and cracking down on land annexation.

Externally, it promoted maritime trade on a large scale, encouraged officials and gentry from all over the country to go out to sea to acquire land, and join in the Age of Discovery as much as possible.

In an era without the brutal slavery of the Qing Dynasty, no one could stop Middle-earth from going out.

As for the mansion, many girls gathered together and lived their lives with laughter, and there was no such sad ending as in the original book.

Chen Ran, who has completed the strategy, can leave at any time, and of course can come back at any time.

He was not in a hurry to leave, and regarded this mission world as a benefit granted by the system.

After all, there are so many high-quality beauties in the Grand View Garden, and he has not enjoyed enough of such beautiful days.

Chen Ran waited until the system couldn't stand it anymore and forced him to start the next mission world. Only then did he reluctantly set off.

"Do you know Zhu Qizhen?"

"Wala students?"

"That's him. Among the hundreds of emperors in the Middle-earth, Zhu Qizhen is the one who is qualified to compete for the title of the worst emperor."

Chen Ran spread his hands speechlessly. "This new world won't ask me to save Zhu Qizhen, right? Then I have to use points to buy his father's identity."

"It's not about saving him." The system responded simply, "It's about preventing him from being born."

"That's great." Chen Ran clapped his hands immediately. "It's a great shame for Middle-earth that such a scumbag can be the emperor."

"Are you asking me to help Zhu Yunwen this time? This guy is a hopeless case."

"You'll know when you go."

The first day of April in the fifteenth year of Hongwu, Yingtian Prefecture.

Not surprisingly, the identity assigned to him by the system was still that of a landless refugee who was about to be captured by the government and forced to work.

"I'm speechless." Chen Ran spread his hands. "Can't you give me a better identity?"

The system did not respond, but simply opened the system mall in front of him.

There are all kinds of identity options available, and you can even directly replace Zhu Yuanzhang's identity.

In the "fifteenth year of Hongwu" Chen Ran thought again and again, and finally decided to spend twenty points of deviation value and chose the identity of a traveling doctor.

A traveling doctor who travels alone.

The atmosphere in Yingtian Prefecture was somewhat tense. The pedestrians on the street had solemn expressions. From time to time, Jinyiwei wearing three-mountain wingless hats and dark black robes hurried past.

Standing on the street, Chen Ran looked around and met the eyes of a team of Jinyiwei not far away.

When the captain-general of the team saw the traveling doctor's pole he was carrying, his eyes lit up and he rushed over.

"A doctor?"

"Yes."

"take away!"

Chen Ran was so angry that he laughed, "Is there illegal medical practice in the Ming Dynasty?"

The Jinyiwei didn't care about that and just carried him away.

They came all the way to the Beizhenfusi and packed themselves into a yard and finished their business.

There were already quite a few people in the yard, and judging from their attire, they were all doctors.

"Everyone, please come with me." Chen Ran bowed and saluted. "May I ask you, what happened?"

"Are you new here?" Someone in the crowd responded, "The Crown Prince is ill, and we were all captured to treat him."

"Oh." Chen Ran nodded. "So that's how it is. I wonder what disease the Crown Prince has?"

"Don't even think about it. There's nothing we can do if Bian Que is captured."

"The prince has smallpox!"
