Reborn in Dunhuang, I am farming and doing business in the desert

After writing the letter, Shen Zhao sent it directly to the royal altar and collected some offerings at the same time.

Then she wrote another letter to her brother, asking about Concubine Li's family, including whether she had any children, how old they were, and what their names were.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Shen Zhao recalled the letter from his eldest brother.

The letter said that Concubine Li had a son who was six years old and was deeply loved by the emperor. His Majesty had wanted to make this youngest son the crown prince several times, but was stopped by court officials.

Because the emperor has an eldest son, born to the late queen, who is almost eight years old this year and is being fostered under the name of Concubine Shu.

My brother also said that the emperor was extremely angry when he received the decree from the god of the community today. He immediately scolded Li Guifei's father, Marquis Pingyang, and ordered the recall of General Li Gan.

Shen Zhao burned the letter and slowly recalled his memories of his past life.

In her previous life, she had never heard that the emperor had another legitimate eldest son. She only knew that he had only one son, who was named crown prince at the age of eight and whose mother's surname was Li.

The reason why I remember it clearly is that the Li family was extremely domineering in the capital, and even the servants in their family could be bullied and dominated the market.

He had suffered losses at the hands of Li's servants, and they had taken away a lot of his property.

I didn't expect that even after I opened a shop in the northwest desert, the Li family still came to rob me of my wealth.

In this case, I will use my identity as the community god to make some careful plans.

More than twenty days passed in a flash, and the Chinese New Year was about to come, but Qin Yi suddenly came back.

This time he came back with Concubine Li's younger brother Li Gan. When he learned that his mother Qin Yang was sentenced to death by hanging for murdering Gao Qiuqiu, he said nothing and left with his sister.

Before leaving, Qin Yi looked towards the Shen family with resentment, and lifted his sister onto the horse's back with both hands.

Although Qin Shu was dirty and had frostbite on her face, she had grown a lot taller and was wearing thick cotton robes and trousers, and warm cotton shoes on her feet. It was obvious that Uncle Qin and his wife did not deduct her food and clothing.

But Qin Yi couldn't see all this, and without saying a word to Uncle Qin, he urged his horse to leave Yanzeli.

Arriving in front of the Department Store Inn, Qin Yi narrowed his eyes and said to Li Gan who was sitting in the carriage: "General, this inn is opened by the postmaster Shen Ang. Is this against the law?"

Li Gan snorted, "Of course it's against the law. Merchants in this dynasty are not allowed to be officials. I will report this to His Majesty when I return."

Now, he was in a hurry to get on with his journey and had no time to dwell on this.

Moreover, the door of the inn was tightly closed and would not open no matter how hard they knocked. There was also a large group of garrison soldiers gathered nearby to watch, so they really couldn't act rashly.

Qin Yi was very disappointed when he heard Li Gan say this.

But now that things have come to this, it would be better for me to return to Beijing as soon as possible.

So a large group of people and horses rushed towards the capital, riding horses during the day and resting at the post station at night.

More than 20 days later, Qin Yi finally returned to the capital with his sister. Looking at the tall and majestic city walls, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

He had a very hard life in this life and almost died in the Western Regions.

The most hateful person is Shen Zhao. He is rich and capable, but he watched his mother die.

"You vicious woman, just wait! I will make your whole family buried with my mother!" Qin Yi swore fiercely and entered the city gate with his sister.

When he first learned that he was left behind in the Western Regions Protectorate as a soldier, he was completely stunned and thought he would never be able to go back in this lifetime.

Fortunately, God has mercy on him. Someone wants to investigate Li Yu's death, and he is sent back to Yumen Pass as an insider, where he meets Li Gan, the uncle of the future prince.

Although Li Gan was a fool, he was lucky. He had a sister who was a royal concubine to protect him, and he had a smooth and successful life.

He was indeed the chosen one, and even God was helping him.

As long as he could get close to the Li family in this life, his career might be smoother than in his previous life.

Qin Yi looked around while riding on horseback, imagining the future, and couldn't help feeling a little complacent.

I don't know if Lingyao is married or not? If she wants to marry King Rui, I will definitely find a way to stop her. Thinking of Xue Lingyao, Qin Yi felt a pain in his heart again.

I treated her wholeheartedly, but she turned out to be as treacherous as Shen Zhao.

As expected, they look the same and have the same vicious hearts.

Maybe I should teach her a lesson and let her taste the feeling of being betrayed by her loved ones!

Thinking of this, Qin Yi felt much better and his tone became lighter: "Shu'er, do you want to meet Lingyao and Xue Yi?"

Qin Shu nodded.

Qin Yi looked down at his sister and said softly, "Once we settle down, I will take you to visit the Xue family."

Qin Shu touched the chilblains on his face and shook his head: "Let's go when the weather gets warmer. I want to make some decent clothes for my brother."

Qin Yi:.
Where does he get the money to make clothes?

The reason for visiting the Xue family was just to borrow some money from Xue Song.

By the way, I will go visit my father’s old friends and borrow some money so that I can rent a small courtyard and settle down.

Touching the few dozen coins in his bag, Qin Yi suddenly thought of Shen Zhao again.

In her previous life, she had never worried about money. Even in the most difficult times, as long as she asked Shen Zhao for help, she would give her some money for emergency.

I never thought that I would be so poor in this life that I couldn't even afford to make clothes for my sister.

The more Qin Yi thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and he urged his horse to follow Li Gan's team.

They soon arrived at the place, and after dismounting, the warhorse was taken away by Li Gan's personal guards.

The brother and sister looked at each other and had no choice but to follow Li Gan into the Pingyang Marquis Mansion.

Soon, Marquis Pingyang summoned him for questioning. After learning that Li Yu's death was indeed an accident, the white-bearded old man burst into tears.

Finally, Qin Yi brought his sister out of the Marquis' Mansion with five hundred more coins in his hand.

After using the money to rent three huts, buy two clay jars and bowls, and bedding and mats, the brother and sister became penniless again and did not have even ten cents in their hands.

Qin Yi had no choice but to visit the Xue family, but he couldn't even see any of the Xue family members.

After wandering outside the door for a long time, Qin Yi left in depression. He then went to visit his father's old friends and the officials who recommended him in his previous life, but they said they didn't know him and he couldn't even get in the door.

Qin Yi's fists were clenched so hard that they made a creaking sound. He had no choice but to wander around the market in the capital.

He hadn't eaten for the whole day and his stomach was growling with hunger. When he saw a child throwing away a finger-sized bun, he wanted to pick it up and eat it.

In the end, he didn't do so, and just watched how merchants and vendors did business.

But no matter what kind of business you do, you need capital. Even if you are like a peddler selling sesame cakes with a basket, you still need money to buy the ingredients and cook it.

Qin Yi was a little desperate.

He had no money and no letter of recommendation, and even that idiot Li Gan was unwilling to accept him.

All his previous assumptions turned out to be empty talk, and now he didn't know what to do.

Suddenly, he saw Shen Xun, dressed in gorgeous official robes, riding a horse, followed by a dozen guards.

Qin Yi followed them secretly and soon arrived at an official residence.

There is a plaque on the gate of the official residence, with two large black characters written on it: Shen's Residence. (End of this chapter)
