Along the way, Tan Qianyang was also thinking about the meaning of his mother, Tan Lishi.

Tan Qianyang is not the only legitimate son in the Tan Mansion.

In fact, Tanfu's population is very prosperous.

My father, Tan Dahai, was said to have been a businessman, but ended up marrying Tan Li, the daughter of a wealthy local businessman.

With the help of Tan Li's natal family, Tan Dahai's business grew bigger and bigger, and eventually he established such a large family business in Anyang County.

Tan Dahai and Tan Li have a total of four sons and one daughter.

The eldest brother Tan Qianjun joined the army. In his early years, he followed a general and rose through the ranks. Now he has reached the high position of a general in charge of the army.

The second brother, Tan Qianli, is quite business-savvy and has been doing business with his father. He is basically the heir to the Tan family business.

Tan Qianwen, the third brother, has been known as a child prodigy since he was a child. He studied in the imperial examinations and won the Jinshi along the way. Now he is working as an official.

The fourth sister, Tan Qianhong, had married far away a few years ago. Her husband's family was said to be a family of officials, and their life was quite good.

The fifth child is Tan Qianyang.

Tan Qianyang's brothers are all so outstanding.

He is capable of both literary and military skills, and even the person who will inherit the family business has been decided on early.

What can he do?

Tan Qianyang didn't seem to need to do anything.

All he needs to do is be a carefree rich young man.

In the entire Tan Mansion, only the second brothers, Tan Qianli and Tan Qianyang, were left at the knees of their parents.

The second brother often follows his father, Tan Dahai, on business trips and is rarely at home.

Tan Qianyang is the only one who has always been filial to his mother, Tan Li.

Therefore, Mrs. Tan Li also dotes on Tan Qianyang very much.

Almost everything you ask for is available.

Tan Qianyang became a "dandy" mostly because of Tan Li's pampering.

Tan Qianyang basically knows everything about the situation in the Tan Mansion.

As long as he wants it, then basically there won't be any big problem if he talks to his mother.

The matter about Li Shusheng and Zheng Niang is just a trivial matter to the Tan family.

As long as Tan Qianyang opens his mouth, Tan Li will definitely not stop him.

Thinking of this, Tan Qianyang felt so settled that even his walking pace became much brisker.

Soon, Tan Qianyang arrived at the dining room.

Mother Tan Li still said with a kind face: "My son, please sit down and eat."

"Yes, mother."

Tan Qianyang is very well-behaved in front of her mother.

Ms. Tan Li has been keeping in good health and doesn’t eat much.

Therefore, I just kept watching Tan Qianyang eat.

The older you get, the more doted you are on your children.

Ms. Tan Li felt that she was very satisfied just watching Tan Qianyang eat.

It is said that the emperor loves the eldest son and the common people love the youngest son. This concept is most vividly reflected in Tan Li.

Her "preference" for Tan Qianyang is almost universally known to everyone in the Tan family.

After breakfast, Tan Qianyang hesitated, but still asked: "Mom, about Li Shusheng..."

Mrs. Tan Li smiled slightly and said: "Steward, please tell the young master carefully about that scholar Li."

"Yes, ma'am."

The old housekeeper still bowed and said cautiously: "Master, after investigation by the old servant, I found that Li Shusheng's name is not Li Yuanlang, but Li Maocai."

"This Li Maocai is from Anyang County. His family is a small businessman. He has studied for several years and even took the exam, but he failed to pass the boy's exam, so he is not a boy."

"A few years ago, Li Maocai's parents died of an illness. He was idle and had no power, so he could only make a living by selling his property. He was already in his twenties and had not yet gotten married."

"But Li Maocai had a good skin, so he simply wandered among prostitutes in brothels, defrauding money and sex."

"At the beginning, he was a little wary and usually looked for girls from brothels from other places. But this year, Li Maocai returned to Anyang County and set his sights on the Zheng girl from Huayulou."

"The young master should already know what happened next, so I won't elaborate further."

The old housekeeper stood with his hands down, bowing slightly, and what he was describing seemed ordinary.

However, Tan Qianyang knew that it was not easy for the old housekeeper to find out a person's details to this extent in just one day!

"Son, if you want to help Zheng Niang, take the housekeeper with you. He will help you find Li Maocai."

"However, once something has been done, it must be done thoroughly!"

"If you can't do it, you can leave it to the butler."

Mrs. Tan Li warned calmly.

However, Tan Qianyang's heart trembled slightly.

He already understood what Tan Li meant.

It would be too easy for the Tan Mansion to deal with a prodigal who has no father, no mother, and no relatives.

"Mom, I want to try it first and see how it works?"

"If it really can't be handled, I will hand it over to the butler."

Tan Qianyang thought for a while and answered truthfully.

He wants to resolve the "sorrow in the guzheng".

In fact, Tan Qianyang doesn't know exactly how to resolve it.

We can only try to find Li Mao first, and then we can make the final decision.

"Okay, my son has grown up and has his own mind."

"Go ahead."

"By the way, bring more guards, just in case."

Tan Qianyang stood up and left the dining room.

The old butler followed closely behind.

"Well, Luliu, you follow."

"The housekeeper, guards and other personnel are all arranged by you."

"Yes, Master."

Tan Qianyang also specially asked Luliu to bring Zheng Niang's guzheng.

Tan Qianyang didn't know how to resolve the grief in Gu Zheng, but it should be right to take Gu Zheng to see Li Maocai.

The butler quickly arranged the carriage.

So, Tan Qianyang got into the carriage, and a large group of people from the Tan Mansion also set off slowly.

...

Li Maocai has been living a good life recently.

He got a large sum of money from Zheng Niang.

He hid for a while before, but after finding nothing happened, he came out again and wandered around various fireworks places in Anyang County.

A few days ago, Li Maocai set his sights on another target.

The owner of a flower boat on the Anyang River, Nightingale!

There is a river in Anyang County. At night, there are many flower boats for many children from rich families to have fun on the river.

This nightingale has just arrived in Anyang County less than a month ago.

But Li Maocai vaguely saw that Nightingale spent a lot of money, and the silks, satins and jewelry on her body were all valuable.

She should be a famous prostitute from other places.

This kind of famous prostitute must have a lot of money accumulated over many years.

If he could deceive Nightingale, I'm afraid Li Maocai would have a good life in the next few years.

Therefore, Li Maocai was particularly concerned about it.

For several days in a row, I would board Nightingale's flower boat almost every day, and spend a lot of money, creating a generous and generous image.

But the nightingale seems to be more shrewd.
