Infinite Doomsday: I rely on space to stock up and bully the scum

Chapter 139: Aftermath (End of Copy)

"Have you heard? The Wang family in Jiangcheng was executed for treason!"

"Which Wang family?"

"Who else could it be? It must be the Wang's grain shop, the Wang family that sells grain. I heard that they secretly sell grain to the outside of the Great Wall every year to make money from selling out their country."

For a moment, countless people applauded.

The Wang family, which was once a powerful family in Jiangzhou, fell into decline and became the topic of conversation among the people of Jiangcheng.

It's spring again, and willow catkins are flying all over the city.

Jiangzhou City is bustling with people and traffic, and the cries of street vendors are endless.

The plaque in the original palace has been removed and new people have moved in.

The coachman drove the carriage steadily to the door, and an old man with extraordinary clothes and a kind face slowly got out of the carriage with the help of a woman.

The two of them walked together into the mansion.

On the plaque on the gate, there were two big characters written: Li Mansion.

"Cui Cui, look at you. After you got married, you didn't even come back to visit your parents more often. Your two brothers and sister-in-law are the same. They are busy all day long."

The woman had her hair tied up in a bun. Time had made her more gentle, less aggressive and more steady.

Li Cuicui gently stroked Jiang Jiang's back, which was unconsciously hunched due to his age, with a smile on her face.

"Yes, yes, mother, I will come back more often in the future."

They say the older you get the more childish you are. The older my mother gets, the more like a child she becomes. At home, she has a great time playing with her great-grandchildren.

Every time Li Dongliang wanted to teach the children a lesson, his mother would always protect the younger ones and say that he was more naughty than the other children when he wore open-crotch pants, which made Li Dongliang so embarrassed that he would walk away in anger.

So Li Cuicui didn't argue with Jiang Jiang at all. They just agreed with whatever their mother said.

"Back then you said you would never marry and stay with mom, but in the end, you were still kidnapped by that brat Gu Peifeng."

Speaking of this, Jiang Jiang became a little angry.

That year, Gu Peifeng pretended to faint at the gate of their original courtyard and was seen by Li Cuicui who was out. She picked him up, called a doctor, and helped take care of him.

Jiang Jiang was also busy at the time. Her family shop had just opened and was short of staff, so she had to look after it herself.

By the time the store was gradually getting on track, Li Cuicui and Gu Peifeng had already developed a secret crush on each other.

At first, they thought Gu Peifeng was just an orphan.

Jiang Jiang doesn't have any prejudice against family background. If Li Cuicui likes him and Gu Peifeng is a good person, she will not force the two of them to separate.

Later, after they got married, Jiang Jiang found out that Gu Peifeng was actually the slave who was rescued by accident from Li Cuicui's lost purse, and was also the "original" magistrate of Wushan County.

Gu Peifeng was a second-class Jinshi in the eighth year of Yuanyou. His mother died early. In the same year, his father died of illness, and he observed mourning for three years.

At the end of three years, he rushed to Wushan County to take up his post with his servant Gu Yan. However, he fell ill with a high fever on the way and Gu Yan stole the official seal, documents, and household registration, thus substituting a cat for a prince.

After being displaced, he was sold as a slave and transported to Jiangzhou.

According to Gu Peifeng, he was good at everything except lacking some luck.

The best luck in his life was meeting Li Cuicui.

As fate would have it, her purse fell in front of him, and the knife inside saved his life.

He was originally thrown into a mass grave, but he used a knife to cut the ropes, and used the two cents in the rope to buy something to save his life. Finally, he used the special hair flower to find Li Cuicui.

Li Sheng has always been quite dissatisfied with this. He thinks that Gu Peifeng is a very cunning and scheming person. He took advantage of his poor health and his sister's kindness and deliberately fainted at their doorstep. Fortunately, he was very good to his sister, so good that Li Sheng felt a little guilty towards this brother-in-law.

Li Cuicui said east, Gu Peifeng didn't dare to go west. When Li Cuicui asked him to kill the chicken, Gu Peifeng didn't dare to kill the duck.

He did not take concubines or have a mistress, so even if his colleagues mocked him for being henpecked, Gu Peifeng would just laugh it off.

"Madam, the second lady and the master are back."

As soon as Jiang Jiang and Li Cuicui sat down, a servant came to report.

"Mom, we are back!"

Sun Qiaoqiao is efficient and quick in her work. As soon as she got home, she went straight to find Jiang Jiang.

In recent years, she and Li Sheng have been running a shop. Their original shop has grown into a bigger one under their management, with shops of all sizes spread all over Jiangcheng. Shopkeepers Li and Sun have also become famous.

As soon as Sun Qiaoqiao entered the room, she looked behind Li Cuicui, as if there was someone hiding there.

"Cui Cui, where is Gu Peifeng? Didn't he come back with you?"

"I'm afraid you're not concerned about whether Gu Peifeng will come back, but whether his gift will come back."

Jiang Jiang saw through Sun Qiaoqiao's wishful thinking at a glance and said with a smile.

Whenever there was a reunion, Gu Peifeng would always bring gifts for everyone in the family. Sun Qiaoqiao said this as a good-natured joke.

Sun Qiaoqiao deliberately shrank her neck and made a gesture for mercy, which made everyone laugh.

At this time, Li Cuicui explained: "He had just been promoted to the position of Tongzhifu of Qingzhou, and he really couldn't spare the time, so he had to let me come back alone first, but he asked me to bring back all the gifts, and everyone got one."

That's true. Qingzhou is still quite a distance away from Jiangzhou, and it took Li Cuicui nearly a week to get there by boat.

After a while, everyone from the big house came back. They opened an escort agency and recruited a large number of talented and ambitious people in the past few years. Among them was one named Zhou Yan, who was the most brave and good at fighting.

The last to arrive were Li Chan and Li Juan, and their husbands followed them.

It can be said that everyone who could go home has returned.

The reason they gathered together was because of a great piece of good news.

Li Laibao, or Li Ziqian after he changed his name, won the top spot in the imperial examination!

Li Ziqian was far away in Kyoto, and the news came back.

He performed extremely well in the palace examination, which left a deep impression on the emperor, who appointed him as the top scholar on the spot.

I heard that because of his handsome appearance, he was originally going to be named Tanhualang. However, Li Sheng ranked first in the county examination, prefectural examination, and imperial examination, which was already a minor top three. What was even more commendable was that he was a Jieyuan in the provincial examination and a Yuan in the metropolitan examination. If he was chosen as the Zhuangyuan in the palace examination, he would be a major top three.

Since the founding of the dynasty, there have been only two scholars who have won the top three places in the imperial examinations, and there has never been anyone who has won six places in a row.

The current emperor has been on the throne for only three years. If, under his rule, a disciple emerges who wins six top honors in the imperial examinations, it will be a matter that will go down in history and be remembered for thousands of years.

The prefect of Jiangzhou brought officials of all ranks to Li's residence to congratulate him. Everyone knew that if nothing unexpected happened, Li Ziqian would rise to a high position in the government.

The Li family has become completely prosperous now!

Amidst the congratulations from the crowd, Jiang Jiang just smiled. She raised her head slightly, looked at the plaque engraved with the words "Li Mansion", and thanked them silently in her heart.

Thank you, alien.
