1675 AD, Great Qian Dynasty,

Jiangnan region, Jin Ling Prefecture,

A youth of about fifteen was looking at the bare walls of his home, a hint of hesitation rising in his eyes.

"Where the hell did this bring me? Is this still domestic?"

Standing up in disbelief, Zhang Cheng spoke in a daze.

Walking to a mirror that could no longer clearly reflect a person's face, he immediately collapsed.

One second he was still enjoying the life of a CEO, the next second he was in a home with bare walls, who could handle this?

Arriving at a courtyard that seemed not to have been cleaned for a long time, Zhang Cheng sat dejectedly on a dry well.

He had already received the memories of his predecessor, but unfortunately, he didn't get any useful information, and this was more like a fictional world!

The current Great Qian Dynasty was the empire that the Great Ancestor "re-captured" during the Tumu Crisis back then.

He had once driven out the Hu barbarians in the north, pacified rebels internally, and re-stabilized the Han people's empire.

And Zhang Cheng was now also a clansman of the founding dukes, Jia Yan and Jia Yuan.

However, the grace of a gentleman is cut off after five generations, and for Zhang Cheng's lineage, it was just the fifth generation.

The entire Jia family, twelve branches in Jin Ling, eight branches in the capital, and Zhang Cheng's branch was perhaps the worst of them all!

Because the glory of the Jia family hadn't shone on them at all.

His father was originally a concubine's son, and after the family split, he didn't have any talent in any aspect, only living off the family's farmland, but his mother was also in poor health.

For the sake of livelihood, his father had to go out to engage in merchant business, and eventually died in a bandit riot!

And this was news that only arrived two days ago, causing the original body to be unable to bear the pressure and directly collapse!

"Cough cough cough!"

A weak voice rang out, Zhang Cheng hurriedly stood up and headed towards the room.

Looking at his mother with a pale face, Zhang Cheng hurriedly said, "Mother, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, Jue-ge'er, it's just your father, has he sent a letter, when will he be back!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng before her, his mother, Jia Liu Shi, asked.

"Mother, don't worry, father has sent a letter, he will be back very soon."

Comforting his mother with a smile, Zhang Cheng said, "Now there is only Cuizhu in the house to take care of mother, I am uneasy, and plan to find some more people to take care of you!"

"No, there isn't much money left in the house, you still need to study, this silver must be left for you!" Looking at Zhang Cheng before her, Jia Liu Shi hurriedly refused.

And hearing his mother say this, Zhang Cheng lowered his head and said, "Don't worry, mother, it's still early for me to study, now you are the priority! I will handle the money and food matters!"

Comforting his mother, Zhang Cheng looked at Cuizhu to the side and said, "Sorry to trouble you, sister Cuizhu!"

"Young Master, no, taking care of the mistress is my duty!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng thank her, Cuizhu immediately bowed.

Standing up and walking outside, Zhang Cheng looked at the courtyard before him, now so desolate, and couldn't help but feel bitter.

A fallen family, a sick mother, what should be done about this!

Coming out of the house, Zhang Cheng looked at the neighbors along the street and nodded politely in greeting.

Because the people living here were basically clansmen of the Jia family, and in terms of seniority, Zhang Cheng was still an uncle to many people!

"Uncle, are you going to the bookstore today?"

Just as Zhang Cheng was striding forward, the person walking beside him asked with a smile.

"Wei-ge'er, aren't you going to help at the shop?"

Looking at Jia Wei, who was a generation younger than him, Zhang Cheng asked.

"I heard that someone from the Jia family in the capital has come, it seems they are selecting people to go to the northern lands..."

Speaking in a low voice, Wei-ge'er's face was full of seriousness.

"Oh? Is it the Ningguo Mansion or the Rongguo Mansion?"

Hearing Wei-ge'er's words, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but frown.

Because even though the Great Ancestor drove out the foreign enemies back then, the empire was still turbulent.

The Retired Emperor had once worked diligently, pacifying Liaodong in the north, but as a result, a 300,000-strong army went on an expedition, only to be beaten so badly they didn't dare to fight back.

Since then, he completely lost his spirit, visiting Jiangnan eight times, singing and dancing every night.

Eventually, three years ago, his actions provoked the Crown Prince's anger.

Crown Prince: If you can't do it, step down, I'll do it!

Like Mordred, the Crown Prince launched a military remonstrance, wanting to drag his father off the throne.

But in this failed war, the Jia family stood on the wrong side.

The former Crown Prince's attendant, Jia Jing, directly ran to a Taoist temple to cultivate immortality, and Jia She, Jia Enhou, also became a complete "scoundrel"!

And was this what they wanted? No, that was because they did it wrong!

In a struggle, standing on the wrong side isn't scary, what's scary is that you stood on the wrong side and didn't know you were wrong? That's your problem!

The famous philosopher, Li Qiankun, once said, when you're out in the world, if you're wrong, admit it, and if you get beaten, stand straight!

So after the Crown Prince died, the two mansions, as the face of the Rongguo Mansion, directly hid away!

The current Emperor is the fourth son of the Retired Emperor, that's right, he is the one who won by lying down!

Because in the entire Great Qian Dynasty, no second person suitable for succession could be found!

However, after dealing with the Crown Prince's matter, the Retired Emperor became critically ill, and he should have passed away, but he survived, and his body became very healthy, which made the current Emperor dumbfounded.

Because he was all prepared to reorganize the court, but as a result, his father was still alive, two suns in the sky!

"The Jia family in the capital, why would they come to Jin Ling to look for people?"

Looking at Wei-ge'er, Zhang Cheng asked.

"Isn't it because they're afraid of death! They can't bear to let their own grandsons go! So they can only come to Jin Ling!"

Speaking to Zhang Cheng, Wei-ge'er's face showed a look of disgust.

When enjoying blessings, the two mansions were in the capital, majestic and imposing, but when trouble came, they remembered the clansmen in Jin Ling!

Facing Wei-ge'er's statement, Zhang Cheng didn't say anything, after all, it had nothing to do with him.

He still had to earn money to treat his mother's illness!

Watching Zhang Cheng leave, Wei-ge'er looked regretful.

Because the former Uncle Jue was a child prodigy, obtaining the title of child scholar before the age of nine, but afterwards, because Grandma Liu was critically ill, he had to suspend his studies and take care of her at home, what a pity!

Wearing a green shirt, Zhang Cheng came to the side of the Qin Huai River, looking at the bustling streets, and couldn't help but sigh.

Because how should he take this first step?

"Forget it, let's go to the human-trafficking shop first and find two helpers for Cuizhu!"

Thinking of the large house with only Cuizhu working alone, Zhang Cheng felt a bit guilty.

Because she came with his mother as a dowry maid, and has been taking care of the whole family.

However, just as Zhang Cheng arrived in front of the human-trafficking shop, he suddenly froze in place, because he didn't bring any money!

Squinting his eyes, Zhang Cheng turned around, skillfully squatted on the side of the road, and began to look for "fated people" on the street!

Zhang Cheng: I don't have money, it doesn't matter, as long as you do!
