"Withered vines and old trees, no crows, little bridges and running water, my house is ruined. Alas! The world is so difficult!"
Liang An sat blankly under the old tree by the river, sighing as he looked at his unfamiliar face reflected in the river.
“I’ve traveled through time, I’ve really traveled through time.
As long as I don't want to be a wealthy businessman for the prince, I will admit it, but it's just that I just came through time and there is nothing to eat at home, and what should I do if I still have ten taels of silver? "
As Liang An, who once had ideals and ambitions, he went to teach in remote mountainous areas after graduating from college. He accidentally stepped on the air while climbing over the mountains and came here. The only thing he was lucky about was that the original owner had the same name, surname and gender as him and did not let him The embarrassment of changing the door just after crossing over.
I just laughed to myself and had a new idea.
"Perhaps I will still be my ancestor in future generations, so let's live in peace.
Liang An, ah, since Liang An can't go back, there's no need to worry about who he will be in the future.
Anyway, I will be an orphan in future generations. Except for my teachers and classmates, no one will remember Liang An in future generations. "
Liang An laughed like this, and his stomach suddenly growled. He held his stomach with one hand, put the other hand in front of his eyes, and scanned his ruined house.
Except for a few winter melons on the winter melon vines that were trampled down by the servants of Cui's wife who came to collect debts a few days ago, there was nothing to eat.
Liang An sighed helplessly. Will he starve to death just after crossing over?
In this life, Liang An had just passed the exam and his father congratulated Liang An. However, when he went to fish in the river in front of his house, the water quality was not good and he became seriously ill. He sold several acres of thin farmland at home and borrowed twenty taels of silver. Not saved.
Liang An, who had not eaten for several days, fell to the ground in a rage after being pressed for debt by the Cui family's servants. Not only did he scare away the Cui family's servants, but he also scared away his own life. In the end, Liang An, a great young man from later generations, was killed. Brought over.
Liang An rubbed his belly and muttered, "You can't starve yourself to death anymore, you have to find a way to get some food."
Fishing is a good choice.
With this idea in mind, Liang An quickly made some simple traps for fishing. Resisting the hunger in his stomach, he placed it on both sides of the river and waited for the fish to take the bait.
However, Liang An had just finished his work and was about to return to the courtyard to drink some water to relieve his hunger, when he saw an old man standing at the door of his courtyard, looking around.
"Xiao Anzi, are you here?"
Listening to this voice, the image of the village chief appeared in Liang An's mind, and he was also an elder of his family.
"Fourth Grandpa, you are here. I would also like to thank Fourth Grandpa for helping bury my husband."
"Good boy, you are suffering. Your father is also a gentleman in our village. It is great to teach children how to read and write. How come a good person is gone? For you to be like this... ugh!"
At the end of the sentence, the village chief sighed heavily, but Liang An was heartbroken and hurriedly comforted the village chief.
"Fourth Grandpa cannot force himself on some things, so let's live a good life now."
It's not that Liang An didn't want to take the imperial examination or seek fame, it's just that the great young people who came from later generations were proficient in everything, not to mention poetry, poetry, physics and chemistry, but what's the use of this? Only he does not understand the Four Books and Five Classics. Under such circumstances, how to take the imperial examination?
An overview? Isn't this a joke?
But just as Liang An was thinking about this embarrassing situation, the village chief looked at him and said.
"Now it is indeed time to live a good life first. I originally came to persuade you, but I didn't expect that you would be more tolerant.
In the future, when you have sufficient conditions, you can take the examination to become a scholar, and if you can be a civil servant, even if you don't take the imperial examination, it will be good to be an official in the county. "
As soon as the village chief finished speaking, he suddenly slapped his thigh, "Look, I'm going too far. I'm here to take you to get your wife."
"ah?"
Liang An was stunned by the village chief's words, but his mind immediately thought of the situation in his country.
Although the Dakang Dynasty was located all over the world, it was surrounded by foreign tribes that could not deal with Dakang, and the population was depleted due to successive wars.
The imperial court stipulated that men must be married at age 18 and women at age 16. Those who are not married but remain at home will have to pay another 30% tax.
Under such circumstances, there are many people who have no money to marry, which makes some girls unable to get married and have to be sent by the government.
Liang An felt a little uneasy at the thought of bringing back a wife.
"Fourth Grandpa, I still don't have enough to eat, so I want to bring back a daughter-in-law..."
But before Liang An could say anything, Fourth Grandpa had already pulled Liang An forward quickly.
"The important thing is to carry on the family lineage."
"Where is this?"
Liang An was helplessly dragged to the scene of selecting a daughter-in-law by his fourth grandfather. He saw that most of the people in Liangjia Village had arrived, and there were several banker men about the same age as Liang An who each selected a daughter-in-law and were smiling happily there. .
Seeing that all the good wives had been picked, the village chief couldn't help but said to Liang An, "Why are you late? Look at the wife Liang Er picked, she must be a good hand at work.
Look at Liang Santiao's daughter-in-law, although she is short but not strong, she is also capable of giving birth, and they are all pretty good. "
It's just that the village chief was praising the wives chosen by his fellow villagers. In Liang An's opinion, all of them were female tyrannosaurs like flowers. How could this be a good wife?
However, as soon as Liang An left his job, the village chief took Liang An to the front to introduce Liang An to the government servant who was responsible for giving birth to his wife.
The yamen officer looked at Liang An, who was stunned, and didn't say anything. He casually pointed at the woman next to him.
"You are the last one in your Liangjia Village, and this time there is only the last girl left. There is no choice, she is yours."
As soon as the yamen officer finished speaking, he couldn't help but take out a document in his hand, then took Liang An's hand and pressed a fingerprint on it, then stuffed the document into Liang An's arms and then went to greet the guys to go back and drink. .
Liang An looked at the book in his arms and turned his head in surprise to look at the figure next to him with his head lowered, wearing coarse linen clothes, and keeping his fingers twitching.
Liang An's eyes instantly lit up.
Is this my wife? Now you have a wife?
Although everyone saw that she was thin and weak, unable to carry her hands or carry her shoulders, and she was not as easy to give birth to as the village had chosen, her delicate and pitiful appearance made Liang An stare straight at her.
In one's future life, such a role is not at the level of a goddess.
To be reduced to this now is really a trick of fate.
Liang An was filled with emotion again, making the village chief think that Liang An was dissatisfied.
"Xiao Anzi, no, you can't use your nickname after you get married. Liang An, are you dissatisfied with this wife?"
As soon as the village chief finished speaking, the last remaining girl knelt down with a thud.
"Mei Jingjing, I hope the master can take me in. If I go back, my father will beat me to death!"
"It turns out that he is a loser from Meijia Village. He has not been married for two years. If he returns to Meijia this year, his taxes will double."
"I heard there's something wrong with this girl..."
Someone was making noises. The village chief looked at Liang An and waited for Liang An's reply. Liang An, who had been single for decades, looked at Mei Jingjing who was pleading and gritted his teeth.
"Okay! I'll keep you!"
After Liang An finished speaking, he didn't wait for the village chief to say anything. Regardless of other people's eyes, he led Mei Jingjing to push away the crowd and run home.
