Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

The Fourth Prince had not expected that such a good seedling as Nian Gengyao would fall into his own fields, but since he had already planted his own vegetable garden, he could not let Nian Gengyao run away.

But Nian Gengyao couldn't do it too obviously. He could become the governor of Sichuan and a frontier official, which was inseparable from Kangxi's special appreciation and promotion. Especially in the current situation, everyone knows that Kangxi cares about whether his dead sons have colluded with court officials. Nian Gengyao has a bright future, why must he follow the fourth prince to the end?

Nian Gengyao was a proud man. He climbed up the ladder with his own abilities and did not need to rely on the Fourth Prince's connections. Why did he have to bow down to the Fourth Prince and become his slave?

Nian Gengyao is not needed, but the entire Nian family is living under the Fourth Prince. Can you help the entire clan by yourself?

Nian Gengyao's father, Nian Xialing, had a different view on the Fourth Prince than Nian Gengyao. Before his retirement, Nian Xialing served as the governor of Huguang. He was the first to suggest that the silver for the seven prefectures of Huguang be incorporated into the land tax collection, which was also the predecessor of the "tax on land" system.

The Fourth Prince was very interested in the tax law that Nian Xialing had tried out in Huguang. Therefore, Nian Xialing was also optimistic about the Fourth Prince.

With the tacit agreement between the two parties, it was decided that Nian, the daughter of Nian Xialing and sister of Nian Gengyao, would be the concubine of Prince Yong in the 52nd year of Emperor Kangxi's reign.

Thousands of miles away, Nian Gengyao in Sichuan heard that his sister was betrothed to the Fourth Prince. He wrote a letter to Nian Xialing with displeasure, saying that as long as he was around, the Nian family could only go uphill and not downhill. His sister should find a suitable match, and if she had to marry a prince, he felt that the Eighth Prince was better than the Fourth Prince.

After receiving Nian Gengyao's letter, Nian Xialing wished that Nian Gengyao was right in front of him so that he could beat him hard with the cane in his hand to prevent Nian Gengyao from having a brain seizure and bringing harm to the entire family.

Whether Nian Gengyao was willing or not, the Nian family was already under the control of the Fourth Prince, and there was no room for maneuver. If Nian Gengyao was a staunch loyal minister to Emperor Kangxi, no one would say anything. But if he tried to flirt with the princes and wanted to win the credit of being a follower of the emperor, no matter who Nian Gengyao chose, he would be branded as a slave of two surnames.

In particular, Nian Gengyao was stationed in Sichuan and had little contact with his family in recent years. Nian Xialing didn't know how Nian Gengyao was connected with the Eighth Prince. When she first saw the Eighth Prince's name in Nian Gengyao's letter, Nian Xialing thought her eyes were blurry, otherwise how could she see the Eighth Prince?

This also made Nian Xialing firm in his idea - the ship of the Eighth Prince would definitely sink.

Nian Xialing retired from the post of Governor of Huguang in the 43rd year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi. If Nian Xialing had been frail and sickly, or had reached old age, it would not have been a big deal, but Nian Xialing lived until the 5th year of the reign of Emperor Yongzheng. If Nian Gengyao had not gotten into trouble, Nian Xialing might have lived for several more years!

As a smart man, Nian Xialing had only one reason for his emergency avoidance. His reforms in Huguang were very successful, and he collected more tax silver. Then someone set his sights on this big piece of fat meat. Or rather, more than one party set their sights on it. After a fierce competition, the winner was the princeling party.

In fact, when he realized that someone was eyeing Huguang, Nian Xialing wanted to leave this place of trouble. But when he saw that the last person to come was the prince's gang, Nian Xialing knew that he could not escape even if he was transferred back to the capital. After all, who doesn't know which is more important, a money bag or a treasure pot that can make money?

The prince was not satisfied with his current situation and even wanted to get his hands on Huguang's tax revenue. What was he trying to do? Was he planning a rebellion? On the other hand, did Kangxi know about it? He didn't know now, but he would know it sooner or later.

When Nian Xialing was carrying out the reform in Huguang, he offended the local gentry. If the gentry joined forces with the capital, Nian Xialing was afraid that he would die without a burial place. In addition, Nian Gengyao had already entered the government and was highly appreciated by Emperor Kangxi. Nian Xialing finally decided to retreat while the tide was at hand to save the family.

With the experience of the past, looking at the Eighth Prince again, Nian Xialing felt that it was just a replay of the past. The Eighth Prince would not think that he was more important to Kangxi than the Crown Prince, right? Otherwise, why would the Eighth Prince think that Kangxi could tolerate him seeking the throne so desperately?

Did the Eighth Prince feel that this court was too big and too empty? It seemed as if he had tried his best but had no idea how to make the court officials remember him and see him.

Nian Xialing didn't understand the Eighth Prince's thoughts. He just wanted to scold Nian Gengyao to wake him up, so he wrote dozens of pages of letters. If he still didn't repent, then Nian Xialing would have to go there in person with a cane:).

Nian Gengyao received dozens of pages of Nian Xialing's letter and felt very aggrieved. He just wanted to find a wise leader to rely on and expressed his disdain for the Fourth Prince and his liking for the Eighth Prince. Why did he receive a criticism from Nian Xialing? Yaoyao felt aggrieved, but Yaoyao didn't say anything.jpg.

But Nian Xialing's scolding did remind Nian Gengyao that he dared not openly get involved with the Eighth Prince. As for behind the scenes, who hasn't invested in a few princes? The eldest brother doesn't laugh at the second brother.

The Fourth Prince received this news, but he couldn't laugh at all. Nian Gengyao was so bold, playing both sides, wanting to be a fence-sitter without even considering whether he was worthy or not?

The most infuriating thing is that even though he knows that Nian Gengyao is wavering in his current position, the Fourth Prince can't say anything. He even wants to be more intimate with the Nian family and tie Nian Gengyao to his side.

In this regard, Liu Youyou's comment was, even if Nian Shilan has a crooked mouth and eyes, Big Fat Ju can still say with a clear conscience that she is the most beautiful woman in the world!

After the selection in the 52nd year, the decree was quickly issued to grant Nian to Prince Yong as his concubine.

The Yong Prince's Mansion, which had not seen such a happy event for a long time, started to get busy again. The last time such an arrangement was made, two concubines entered the mansion. However, they were the same person but had different fates. One became the legitimate wife, and the other was half dead in the "cold palace". Now another concubine was going to enter the mansion, and no one knew what kind of storm it would cause.

This had no effect on Lu Yingfeng. She couldn't hold her daughter tightly enough, so how could she care about these things? She had finally understood that the backyard still depended on Fu Jin's eyes. As long as Fu Jin kept this attitude, Lu Yingfeng would not make trouble.

Li Jingyan was much more anxious. She asked Cuiguo anxiously, "I heard that Nian is very beautiful. None of the concubines in this year's show can compare to her. She has the Nian family behind her. If she gives birth to a little prince, how can there be a place for Hongshi?"

Cuiguo could only try to comfort her, "Our young master is very sincere. We don't know when Nian will be blessed. Besides, how can we be sure whether we will have a son or a daughter?"

Cuiguo's words had many loopholes, but they were enough to coax Li Jingyan. Li Jingyan continued to worry about Hongshi who was studying in the palace.

Qi Yuebin was probably the most upset. First, Li Jingyan became a concubine, and now Nian became a concubine. When would it be her turn? She said to herself, "I heard that Nian is also a daughter of a general. I wonder if I can get along with her."
