With He Shen's current status and ability..,

Naturally, it could not be built.

He turned his gaze to Qianlong.

He Shen had really made a fortune,

When did it start?

Since he became the Minister of the Treasury, he managed the cloth treasury and had quite the financial ability,

Which greatly increased the stock of cloth.

In addition, he was born handsome and tall.

When Qianlong saw him, he felt that he really cherished such a talented and good-looking young man,

So he promoted him to the imperial bodyguard of the Qianqing sect and vice commander.

From then on, He Shen was Qianlong's favorite.

In the next two years..,

He Shen's promotion speed was comparable to sitting on a rocket.

In his previous life, He Shen had rolled around in the business world.

He Shen needed to learn things slowly, but he did not need to,

He could use them directly.

He Shen gradually became engrossed in his thoughts.

"Young Master.."

"Young Master" Xuan Tong Daozhang rubbed his knees uneasily.

He was clearly a character in Fujian,

Ordinary people did not dare to offend him easily,

But when he was in front of He Shen, Xuan Tong Daozhang always felt that he was a head shorter and did not dare to be rash at all.

"Well, you should rest first.

If you have any plans, let me know tomorrow. "

Xuan Tong Daozhang had no choice but to agree.

"Bring a bowl of sweet water for the Taoist priest," He Shen said.

The maidservant responded,

She took the sweet water and snacks and placed them in front of Xuan Tong Daozhang.

These things..,

Were something that Xuan Tong Daozhang had never seen before,

He suppressed the surprise in his heart,

It was not good to show any signs of being a country bumpkin.

Sure enough, there were many good things in the capital.

Xuan Tong Daozhang sighed as he could not help but gulp down the food and drink.

He Shen leisurely admired his posture. He already had a vague idea of what was going on.

These sweet water and snacks were made on the basis of the original food of the Qing dynasty, after more precise processing.

Naturally, it was much more meticulous.

It was not comparable to the food and drink in the palace, but if it was among the common people, it was enough to amaze people.

He Shen was very satisfied.

There would be another way to make money in the future.

"Please rest, Taoist Master." He Shen stood up and left.

Xuan Tong Daozhang did not dare to stop him. He stood up and nodded repeatedly, watching He Shen leave.

After He Shen left, Xuan Tong Daozhang started to look around the house.

It didn't appear to be very rich, but it was full of exquisite aura.

Xuan Tong Daozhang recalled He Shen's appearance just now and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The capital was indeed different.

In front of him, she felt even more insignificant.

The maids quickly cleared away the dishes.

Xuan Tong Daozhang glanced at the table and found a letter on it.

When he opened it, Xuan Tong Daozhang immediately quivered.

The more he looked down, the more he trembled.

It was not because he was afraid, but because he was excited.

He knew that the young master had already prepared for this.

Xuan Tong Daozhang folded the letter and put it in his pocket. He did not look for He Shen again and even moved out the next day.

After that, Xuan Tong Daozhang lived in a small Taoist temple on the outskirts of the capital.

A few people who had heard of his reputation came to visit him.

Under their guidance, Xuan Tong Daozhang gradually entered the circle of the wealthy in the capital.

And this was only the first step for him to re-establish his reputation in the capital.

In the 31st year of Qianlong, the imperial examinations were held.

He Shen was 16 years old.

His teachers, Wu Shengqin and Wu Shenglan, valued He Shen's talent and ability very much. They spent a lot of effort on He Shen and hoped that He Shen could obtain a good ranking.

This year, the small Taoist temple finally gained some fame.

Any strange illness that ordinary doctors were unable to treat could be treated here.

Although the noble families in the capital were particularly disdainful of this place, they more or less had some impression of this Taoist temple.

At this time, He Shen was sitting under the window, opening the letter in his hand.

One letter was written by Xuan Tong Daozhang, and it was about the recent situation of his Taoist temple.

He Shen hastily swept through it, then tore it to pieces and burned it.

The other letter was from Yangzhou.

He Shen opened it quickly, and there was a slight smile at the corner of his mouth that he did not notice.

But soon, the smile disappeared.

This letter was not written by Daiyu, but by Lin Ruhai.

For some reason, Jia Yucun was reinstated as an official by Lin Ruhai, but Daiyu did not come to the capital.

He Shen felt very helpless. It was probably because he had delayed Jia Min's death with his own strength.

Naturally, the people of Rongguo Province would not come to pick him up.

He Shen restrained his thoughts and carefully skimmed through the contents of the letter.

Soon, He Shen raised his eyebrows, and the corner of his mouth curled up without leaving a trace.

It did not deviate too much from the plot of the book.

The people sent by Rongguo Province to Yangzhou were still on the way. Probably because the letter had been sent earlier, Lin Ruhai could not wait to write another letter to He Shen before the people had arrived.

Lin Ruhai was not sure whether to let Daiyu come to the capital with the people from Rongguo Province.

After all, he couldn't leave Ren Land. Even if Daiyu had maids and servants by her side, she was still going to her maternal grandfather's home. Lin Ruhai still couldn't let her go.

Thus, he entrusted the letter to He Shen.

He Shen folded the letter and pressed it against his chest.

In fact, there was no need for Lin Ruhai to specially entrust the letter to him. If Daiyu came to the capital, he would naturally take care of him.

As he was thinking, there was a sudden knock on the window.

He Shen looked up and saw He Lin standing outside with an aggrieved expression.

He Shen had to put down the letter in his hand, "What's wrong? Did someone bully you?"

"I heard it at the official school today," He Lin said angrily.

"What did they say?"

"They said that you are going to get married in a few days."

He Shen was amused.

He was going to get married. Why didn't he know about it?

Seeing that He Shen did not say anything, He Lin felt even more disappointed. He lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "I heard that she is the granddaughter of Feng Yinglian, the governor of Zhili. If someone from such a family does not treat me well in the future, you won't be able to protect me."

He Shen was even more amused, "What nonsense are you talking about? I have never even seen the girl you are talking about."

"Are, are you serious?" He Lin looked up at him. There were still tears in the corners of his eyes, "But they all said that you are going to get married first before you go for the exam."

He Shen searched through his memory for a while.

He vaguely remembered that someone seemed to have mentioned this to him recently.

But He Shen's mind was not on it at all.

Moreover, in his opinion, he was not old. Those girls were even younger.

How could he marry them?

He Shen shook his head, "Don't disturb your brother. Go back and read your books. You only listen to rumors all day long. Why are you so immature?"

He Lin raised his hand to wipe his tears, but he laughed, "It's good that you are not going to get married."

He Shen pursed his lips and did not say anything.

Get married.

He did not even find a girl he liked in his previous life, let alone in this life.

He was afraid that no girl who grew up under the influence of feudal etiquette would be suitable for him.

Thinking of this, He Shen suddenly broke the writing brush.

Wait a minute.

He was not going to get married.

But Daiyu was going to get married in the future.

He Shen thought about it, but he really could not think of who Sister Lin would marry in the future.

Jia Baoyu was definitely not going to happen.

Although Jia Baoyu was not bad in nature, with his temperament, if he were to be with Daiyu, Daiyu would suffer a lot and suffer a lot. She might even go down the road of death in the original work.

How could that happen?

Once he thought about it, he couldn't stop himself.

When He Shen came back to his senses, his hands were already stained with ink.

The rice paper on the table was also in a mess.

He Shen knocked on the table and said to the door, "Call Steward Liu in."

The person outside responded.

Not long after, Steward Liu carefully pushed the door open and came in.

He bowed in front of He Shen and asked eagerly with a smile, "Young Master, what can I do for you?"

He Shen smiled slightly and looked at Steward Liu from head to toe.

He Shen rarely smiled in the house. Once he smiled, Steward Liu was very nervous and secretly wondered if he had done something wrong.

"Steward Liu once said that he had a five-year-old daughter who died. Is that right?"

"Yes." Steward Liu was confused, but he quickly responded.

"Steward Liu only has a son now. He should have had both a daughter and a son, but now it's a pity." He Shen sighed softly, as if he really felt pity for Steward Liu.

Steward Liu nodded blankly, "It's my wife. When she thinks of this, she will be sad for a long time."

"Why don't you adopt a daughter?" He Shen said.

"Adopted daughter."

He Shen smiled again and pushed a piece of paper in front of him, "Look, this is the girl's birthday and eight characters and a portrait. She is quite well-behaved.

It's not a loss to adopt a daughter with you.

Coincidentally, this girl was abandoned by her parents when she was very young. She is very pitiful. "

Steward Liu nodded confusedly. When he held the paper in his hand and looked at his son's kung fu for a while, he vaguely understood in his mind.

Presumably, the young master wanted to do something, but he couldn't do it openly, so he had to borrow his hand.

In the background of this era, there were bold and ambitious servants, but there were more servants who were loyal to their masters.

Because once they became slaves, they would be lowly for the rest of their lives.

Their honor and disgrace, wealth, and honor were one with their masters.

Naturally, they were willing to be cattle or horses for their masters.

Steward Liu nodded, lowered his head and said, "I will send someone to recognize her."

"No, you go personally."

Steward Liu nodded without hesitation, "Yes."

If this trip could win the young master's favor, it would be greatly worth it.

Everyone in this residence knew that the young master would have great achievements in the future.

Steward Liu didn't ask for anything else, but he hoped that in the future, his son would be able to bask in some of the glory.

On the same day, Steward Liu packed his bags and set out with a cart driver and a young maid.

The person he wanted to go to was Gusu.

The person he was looking for was a girl named "Xue Yan."

When Steward Liu found Xue Yan, he found out that this girl was a servant of a large family. She had been the personal maidservant of that family's young miss since she was young.

Steward Liu took the opportunity and finally saw the girl named "Xue Yan."

Xue Yan had no impression of her parents. She originally thought that this person was a swindler, but the other party revealed his identity and said that he came from the capital and was a housekeeper of an official's family.

He also brought a young maid with him.

The young maid was very attentive and actually poured tea for Xue Yan.

Xue Yan had never had such an experience before. The feeling in her heart suddenly changed.

Not to mention that she didn't have anything to swindle.

What if the other party was really lying to her. However, Xue Yan felt that it was different to have a father, even if it was only for a short period of time.

It was also different.

It was like in the past, she could be bullied by others.

But suddenly, she found that she also had someone to rely on. She didn't have to be so timid and afraid. When she was sad, she would hide in the quilt and cry.
