Auntie Wang occasionally came over to help Jiujiu collect the bill. After calculating the profit, Auntie Wang's eyes almost popped out. Jiujiu earned half of her money in such a short time. She was really blessed.
Because the workload was heavier, Jiujiu also found a few people to help, but the main secret recipe was still in her hands.
Just when both Jiujiu and Wang Shi were making money, there was a piece of news from outside. It was said that Zhu Changsheng snatched the artist from someone. He snatched the artist from the other side, but he was directly killed by the other side. When he was found, his bones were already cold.
At this moment, it was only two months since Zhu Changsheng and Cui Yuan got married.
After Zhu Changsheng's death, Zhu Changsheng's parents immediately treated Cui Yuan the same way they treated Lianxiang. They said that Cui Yuan was a jinx. She killed their baby son, Zhu Changsheng.
However, Cui Yuan was not a soft bun like Lianxiang. They would swallow whatever they said. When they started to scold, Cui Yuan covered her stomach and said that her stomach hurt. The doctor had already been bribed by Cui Yuan. When the doctor came over, he said that Cui Yuan was pregnant for almost three months.
Why was it three months? Because Cui Yuan and Zhu Changsheng slept together before they got married.
Originally, when Zhu Changsheng died, Zhu Changsheng's parents felt that life was hopeless. They wanted to teach Cui Yuan a lesson. But at this moment, when they heard that Cui Yuan was pregnant with Zhu Changsheng's child, they instantly treated Cui Yuan as their great aunt.
But in fact, Cui Yuan's belly was the bandit leader's child.
However, the problem was that Zhu Changsheng's parents didn't know. Instead, they treated Cui Yuan as a treasure. The child in Cui Yuan's belly was even more precious. They couldn't wait to give everything to the other party.
After Jiujiu got the news, she inexplicably felt that it was an eye for an eye.
In the beginning, Zhu Changsheng's family drove Lianxiang away and even killed Lianxiang when Lianxiang started her new life. In this life, Zhu Changsheng still died without Lianxiang's involvement. But they met such a black-hearted girl, Cui Yuan, who treated other people's children as her own treasure. It was really an eye for an eye.
However, all of this was not in Jiujiu's thoughts, because she seemed to be pregnant.
After Jiujiu was pregnant, the braised meat business that Jiujiu was doing was also intervened by Auntie Wang. The daily production volume was reduced to half of the previous. Many things that were more cumbersome in the manufacturing process were directly said not to do so. Therefore, Jiujiu's braised meat stall became only selling braised meat, pig's trotters and pig's head. and pig's head braised meat stall.
Although the money was not as much as before, because it was hunger marketing, it was still sold out every day.
When Jiujiu gave birth to a child in the next year, a major event happened in the capital.
Not long after Jiujiu gave birth to the child, it happened to be the spring examination. Because it was held every three years, the emperor paid special attention to it. He even went to see the test paper in person.
On this day, the emperor saw a better answer and was fascinated by it. Suddenly, he heard the minister below calling him. When the emperor looked up, he saw the minister's indescribable expression.
Intuition told the Emperor that something bad was going to happen. When he received the papers handed over by the examiner, the Emperor's face turned black in an instant. Because the answers for four or five papers were exactly the same, even the punctuation marks were the same.
What did this mean? It meant that someone had leaked the questions in advance, and those people's answers were bought by the same person.
Moreover, this was not as simple as leaking the questions. It was simply a slap in the emperor's face. The emperor was furious in an instant.
The emperor threw the test paper in his hand to the ground and let people quickly and thoroughly check it.
Because of the seriousness of the matter, the person who sold the questions was arrested that night. Early the next morning, all the people who bought the questions were also arrested.
Just when Wang Gui was dreaming that his son would be the top scorer and he would be the father of the top scorer, his son was directly taken away by the constables.
Wang Gui always thought that his son would wear the top scorer's official robe and ride a tall horse in the street to be seen by everyone. However, the reality was so cruel. The top scorer's official robe was not there, nor was the tall horse, but there was a set of prison clothes.
Because Wang Shi had been sent to prison twice, she was dumbfounded when she saw the officials, so she subconsciously did not go forward. Instead, Wang Gui, who was a newborn calf that was not afraid of tigers, went forward to fight with the constables and was directly arrested. When Wang Gui was released three days later, his whole body was as listless as an eggplant that had lost its moisture. At this time, Wang Gui and Wang Shi also knew what their son had done.
His son was involved in buying and selling the questions of the imperial examination in spring.
Moreover, there were dozens of students like his son. When Wang Gui found out about this, he was completely dumbfounded. He clearly remembered that the person said that he would only sell it to him. Why? Why did he sell it to so many people? He didn't keep his word?
This was Wang Gui's first reaction.
He clearly said that he would only sell them to us. Why did he sell them to others?
However, what was done could not be undone. It was useless for Wang Gui to complain. The only thing he could do now was to find a way to get his son out. After all, he only had one son.
But before Wang Gui could find a way to get his son out, the emperor directly issued a decree. This time, the matter of participating in the buying and selling of the questions was very serious, so no matter if it was an official or a student, they would all be beheaded in public.
After hearing the news that her son would be beheaded, Wang Shi directly fainted. Although Wang Gui did not faint, he was almost fainted.
After Jiujiu heard the news, she inexplicably felt that it was retribution.
At that time, Wang Gui wanted his son to be the top scorer in the imperial examination. He even sold Lianxiang for the top scorer. As a result, his son's life was directly ruined because of this test paper.
Sure enough, heaven and earth had a good reincarnation. Who would be spared by heaven?
However, Li Shuan had long severed his relationship with Wang Shi's family, and Jiujiu had already married Wang Gui. Even if he looked for connections, he could not find her here.
However, the fact was so wonderful. Just when Jiujiu thought that Wang Gui would not come to her, Wang Gui came to her. Not only did Wang Gui look for Jiujiu, but he also asked Wang Yue to spare his son's life during the beheading.
At this moment, Wang Gui was no longer as arrogant as before. He looked as pitiful as a chick that had fallen into the water. Especially because he had to bear the pain of losing his son, Wang Gui's face was haggard. His lips were chapped and even began to bleed. He looked miserable. If someone who did not know about it came, they would definitely sympathize with Wang Gui.
However, not to mention that Jiujiu felt that Wang Gui's son deserved it, Wang Gui's request for Wang Yue to spare his son's life made Jiujiu want to laugh.
