People are among the Eight Immortals, starting from Painted Skin Ghost

Chapter 366 The Eight Immortals in the Shangdong finally gather together! 【one】

"Cao Jingqian?"

Alai frowned, he couldn't understand what Ao Lin said.

He thought about how the name he had been called for more than 20 years could be changed randomly. Although his parents were both dead, he couldn't change his surname randomly.

Thinking of this, he became angry, and regardless of Ao Lin's identity, he said angrily:

"My name is Alai, not Cao Jingqian!"

When Ao Lin heard this, he was not upset at all. He looked at the ruined temple with his hands behind his hands and said with a smile:

"If you become Cao Jingqian, you will have endless glory, wealth, wealth and beauty. Don't you want to live a useless life like this every day, being looked down upon by others?"

"This……"

Hearing this, Alai was a little moved.

Since coming to Kaifeng, he has received too many cold looks and lives in fear almost every day.

Passing by a restaurant, I thought about going in and having a drink.

I wandered around the Chun Tower several times and saw the prostitutes dressed up in colorful clothes and looking pretty, and I thought about criticizing them.

But you don’t even have a copper penny on your body?

Seeing Alai's expression, Ao Lin knew in his heart that he must be tempted.

"How is it? How do you think about it?"

Ao Lin asked, looking a little impatient.

If this Alai's appearance and age were not in line with what he had in mind, how could Ao Lin waste time talking to a mortal?

As if he could tell that Ao Lin was impatient, Alai's heart tightened and he immediately responded:

"I'm willing, little one!"

But soon, he showed a troubled expression:

"It's just that I'm afraid of exposing myself..."

"What's so difficult about this?"

Ao Lin smiled.

Seeing this, Alai looked strange. He wondered what Ao Lin meant by this.

For a moment, he suddenly felt a burning pain in his arm, as if he had been bitten by a poisonous snake.

He gasped.

When I took a look at his sleeves, I discovered that there was an old scar on his wrist from some time ago.

Ao Linggang wanted to ask about this.

Unexpectedly, he felt a stab in his head again, and suddenly the world in front of his eyes was spinning, and he suddenly passed out.

When he woke up again, Alai suddenly felt that there were more memories in his mind that did not belong to him.

There are always many figures appearing in the memories.

After he calmed down, Alai realized that the extra memory he had was that of Cao Jingqian, Cao Jingxiu's younger brother.

"This……"

Alai was shocked and stared at Ao Lin blankly, a little at a loss.

"Now that you have all the memories of Cao Jingqian, you are not afraid of revealing your secrets now, are you?"

Ao Lin smiled.

"No...not afraid." Alai replied weakly.

Although he is just a local hooligan, he also understands what a serious crime it is to rape relatives of the emperor!

What's more, he is still pretending to be Uncle Cao Guo's brother!

Do not!

To be precise, the identity of the person he impersonated was also Uncle Cao Guo!

Therefore, Alai was still unsure.

Seeing that the work was done, Ao Lin didn't want to wait too long, so he told Alai:

"Remember, from now on, you are Cao Jingqian!"

"After you meet the Cao family, you will do everything you can to bring down the Cao family, especially Cao Jingxiu!"

"Little note...taken it down!"

Although Alai didn't understand why, he still nodded in agreement.

After all, if he didn't listen to the person in front of him, he might not survive the next second.

When he raised his head again, he was shocked to realize that Ao Lin had left the ruined temple at some point.

"Who is he, that he has such great abilities?!"

After Ao Lin left, Alai felt puzzled and confused.

But soon, he no longer paid attention to this matter. He felt a burst of cheers and joy in his heart at the sudden new identity. He couldn't help shouting to the sky, as if he wanted to vent his more than twenty years of useless anger:

"From now on, I am Cao Jingqian, and no one dares to look down on me anymore!"

……

……

Kaifeng City.

Cao family.

After Yan Na Cao Lanyun went to the palace, she was quite favored by Zhao Zhen. Even though the harem was not easy to fight, she still lived like a fish in water.

Coupled with Cao Lanyun's quick thinking and good understanding of etiquette, even the Queen Mother praised her and was very satisfied with the marriage.

Say.

After Cao Jingxiu became the Minister of Punishment, he began to retry the Wanguan Bank case.

After less than half a month, the truth of the case was revealed, justice was served to the victim, and the strict laws of the Song Dynasty were demonstrated.

So that the literary and artistic circles of the whole court did not dare to underestimate him.

As for Mrs. Cao, she was very happy to see that her son and daughter were both so outstanding.

But every time at this moment, Mrs. Cao still felt a little sad.

She was always thinking about her youngest son.

I always hope she is still alive in this world.

One day, we can find the Cao family.

……

……

This day.

Mrs. Cao, as usual, ordered her maid to bring the money for incense and oil. She was going to the temple to burn incense and hope that Qian'er would be found soon.

Who would have thought that before leaving the flower hall, a servant would come to report:

"Old Madam, there is a beggar outside the door. He calls himself Cao Jingqian and says he wants to see the Old Madam."

"Oh? Another one?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Cao was not surprised. Instead, she looked like this and said calmly.

The Cao family lost a son many years ago. Now many officials in Kaifeng have known about it, and there are also rumors in the public. This is not a rare thing.

When interested people learn about this, they think that people of the right age, without father or mother, always like to come here to recognize their relatives.

After all, who made the Cao family prosperous and prosperous now?

Mrs. Cao was kind-hearted. After testing these people who recognized her relatives, she found that they were not Qian'er.

He wasn't angry either. Instead, he took care of the meal and then sent him away.

Thinking that one day even though I am down and out, I will still have the courage to come here.

"Let me wait in the hall."

Mrs. Cao ordered.

Although she probably knew in her heart that the person coming was probably not her Qian'er.

But Mrs. Cao still had a glimmer of hope.

I decided to go to the temple to burn incense later.

"Yes, old lady." The doorman responded.

……

……

"come in."

"My old lady, I want you to wait in the side hall."

The servant came to the door and said to Alai.

After saying that, he led Alai to the Cao Mansion.

When he came to Cao's Mansion for the first time, even though Alai had a few memories in his mind, he still couldn't help but look around. But when he saw the green tiles, red eaves, and red couplets engraved with Jie, he knew he belonged to a wealthy family.

Thinking that it would be his own home soon, Alai was overjoyed and his expression became more relaxed.

The servant took Alai to the side hall and left first.

Alai is the only one left here.

Alai didn't stand or sit in the side hall. After staying for a while, he saw that the porcelain in the room was bright and there were many orbs, and he almost started to have evil thoughts again.

But even so, I still couldn't help but touch it.

At this moment, Alai suddenly heard footsteps outside the door. His face changed slightly, and he quickly put down the porcelain in his hand and stood aside respectfully.

Soon.

A gray-haired old lady walked in with the support of several maids.

"mother?"

Seeing Mrs. Cao, Alai immediately recognized her and hurriedly stepped forward to acknowledge her.

"This little brother, please wait a moment."

Mrs. Cao waved her hand and said.

"I..." Alai was startled.

But he kept his mouth shut.

Mrs. Cao slowly sat down and soon looked at Alai. Seeing that his clothes were in tatters and his face was slovenly, I realized that what the servant had said before was true, this man was really a beggar.

"Brother, you said your name is Cao Jingqian?"

After coming back to her senses, Mrs. Cao asked him.

"Yes, madam." Alai replied.

Mrs. Cao asked thoughtfully:

"How did you find this place?"

Alai said without thinking:

"A while ago, I was begging in Chongzhou. I heard that there was an uncle named Cao in the court. After asking about it carefully, I found out that his name was Cao Jingxiu, and he was the eldest brother."

"Then I begged all the way to Beijing, and after asking people about it, I found out about the road to Cao's mansion, and I got here."

"When the child was less than five years old, he was picked up on the street. At that time, he only remembered an elder brother named Cao Jingxiu."

When he came, he had already thought about it.

After hearing this, Mrs. Cao's face straightened slightly.

Cao Jingqian was a little over four years old when he was lost.

Although children aged four or five can remember things, they cannot remember much.

But it’s still possible to remember a person’s name.

"I remember that the year I was lost, my eldest brother overslept while reading at night, accidentally knocked over the lamp, and almost burned down the house."

Seeing that Mrs. Cao seemed to believe her, Ao Lin continued.

What he said is the truth.

The words fell.

Mrs. Cao's expression changed again, and she felt suddenly excited. She hurriedly asked:

"You...what do you remember?"

"I remember my second sister had a cat. I loved teasing it when I was a child."

"correct!"

"That year, I was playing with my eldest brother and accidentally fell into the well in the courtyard. In order to save me, my eldest brother took my hand and rubbed it against the mouth of the well, which made me bleed. My mother even beat him after that."

"When the injury healed, my eldest brother and I both had scars on our arms!"

"Mom, I am really Jing Qian!"

Having said this, Alai suddenly knelt down, moved step by step towards Mrs. Cao's feet, and pulled open his sleeves to reveal the scar on his arm.

Seeing the scar, Mrs. Cao was suddenly stunned.

Suddenly I remembered that afternoon many years ago.

Suddenly, Mrs. Cao's eyes were red, she held Cao Jingqian in her arms, and said with tears streaming down her face:

"Jingqian, my son, you are finally home!"

"Mom, I've been going crazy looking for you these past few years!"

Mrs. Cao was sobbing and crying.

At this moment, Alai felt calm in his heart. He seemed to be infected by Mrs. Cao's love for her son, or maybe he felt guilty. He also made a sound of pain and wailed:

"mother!"

"I finally found you!"

"We will never be separated again!"

Mrs. Cao held Cao Jingqian in her arms and saw that he was thin, dirty and pitiful. She felt even sadder in her heart and choked up:

"We won't separate!"

"We won't be separated anymore..."

"My Qian'er, you have suffered outside all these years!"

……

……

This day.

In the palace, Cao Lanyun received a letter from home saying that her mother had found her younger brother.

After hearing this, Cao Lanyun was very happy and hurriedly told the emperor.

Zhao Zhen naturally allowed her to go home and visit.

Uncle Cao Guo also received a letter from his mother in the Ministry of Punishment.

According to the letter, he found his younger brother Cao Jingqian.

Although Cao Jingxiu had many doubts about this.

But when I got home and saw the wound on Alai's wrist, and compared the two, it was very consistent, so I completely gave up my worries.

That night.

Mrs. Cao held a feast at home to celebrate finding Cao Jingqian.

When Cao Jingxiu and Cao Lanyun returned home, Cao Jingqian had already changed his outfit and was wearing rich clothes. He loved it.

At the dinner table, Mrs. Cao told Cao Jingxiu and Cao Lanyun about Cao Jingqian's experiences abroad these years.

After learning that Cao Jingqian was taken away as a child, he started begging from others.

Finally, a poor old couple bought him.

I thought I could live a stable life, but unexpectedly, three years later, the old couple both died.

This time, Cao Jingqian became an orphan.

Back to the old days of begging for a living.

During this period, I had no choice but to steal things in order to survive...

Hearing this, Cao Jingxiu felt unhappy.

If it hadn't been for his negligence back then, maybe Cao Jingqian would have already studied like him and might still be an official.

The worst thing is that there is no need to worry about food and clothing at home.

When Cao Lanyun learned about these past events, her eyes filled with tears and she felt very sympathetic.

During the dinner, after listening to what Mrs. Cao said, Alai burst into tears for a moment, perhaps remembering the embarrassments of the past.

Seeing this, Mrs. Cao comforted her and said:

"Qian'er, don't be sad!"

"From now on, we will be even more kind to you!"

"If you lose it over the years, our whole family will make up for it for you!"

talking.

Mrs. Cao took out a stack of banknotes from her arms and stuffed a lot of gold and silver into him.

Alai had never seen so much money before. He smiled happily and quickly took it all and thanked Mrs. Cao:

"Thank you, mother!"

"As expected, my mother is the best to me!"

"You're welcome. I'll tell mom after you finish spending it."

Mrs. Cao shook her head and smiled lovingly.

Seeing Cao Jingqian's happy look, Mrs. Cao was also very happy.

But Cao Jingxiu felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

I feel like my mother is too doting.

But when he thought about it, he felt relieved again after his little brother had suffered so much outside.

……

……

The next morning.

After Alai got up and had breakfast, he took his entourage and the silver coins given by Mrs. Cao last night and went to the street.

First, I wandered around for a while, and when I came to a crowded place, I shouted, "I am the uncle of the country, you all must give way to me!"

He even found the people who bullied him in the past, and ordered his followers to beat those people up hard to relieve his anger.

At noon, Alai felt hungry, so he casually walked into a restaurant and ordered a table of delicacies, wine and delicacies.

The so-called fullness and warmth make you think about lust.

After Alai had eaten and drank enough, he visited the most famous Chunfeng Tower in the capital.

I ordered seven or eight girls at once to have fun with me.

Among them, there is also a top card.

He originally accompanied others, but Alai disagreed and directly revealed his identity as the uncle of the country and threw things to vent his anger.

Seeing this, the nanny didn't dare to offend him, so she had no choice but to let the card come over and serve the old man.

As everyone knows, Alai's move was resented by others.

Alai stayed in Chunfeng Tower for most of the day. It wasn't until after dark that he felt weak, climbed out of bed, and returned to Cao Mansion.

In the following days, Alai was like this every day, eating big fish and meat every day, either staying at Chunfeng Tower or hanging out in the casino.

Within a few days, all the money given by Mrs. Cao was spent.

at the same time.

The documents impeaching Cao Jingqian arrived at the Ministry of Justice like snowflakes.

……

……

　The countdown is almost over
