Jia is true, white jade is the hall gold and horse.
Epang Palace, three hundred miles away, cannot accommodate a person of Jinling history.
There was a shortage of white jade beds in the East China Sea, so the Dragon King came to invite the King of Jinling.
In good years there is heavy snow, and pearls are like earth and gold are like iron.
The ruined temple, the sky is slightly bright!
"I'll go, it's so damn...cold, cold..."
Xie Yu, who felt frozen like a dog, reluctantly opened his eyes.
"This smell..., this wind..., this temperature, ugly cloth and striped fashion."
Xie Yu said that the gourd mark is indeed ruthless, which is its style. In the last world, it was given sweet dates, but in this world, you will do this by yourself.
I scanned the surrounding environment and the "similar people" lying around.
Xie Yu sighed: "I haven't been a beggar for many years!"
Secretly began to absorb the memory of this body.
"Floods, fleeing famine, refugees, fallen dead, driven away, separated, trafficked, escaped, beggars, cold..."
After touching the body, I could see the broken ribs, leg bones, and arms, not to mention minor injuries, some of which were still leaking pus.
And it was precisely because of the suppuration of some wounds and the nine cold days that it caused the cold and cold, and finally died.
This situation is actually common in this abandoned land and ruined temples.
However, I originally thought that Xie Yu, who was already much taller, should at least have the Most Favored Nation status, but I didn't expect that Hulu Mark would assign him this aggrieved status.
"It's better to train your body first. Take care of it as it comes. You don't want to die again at the beginning."
Moreover, this is the ancient world of feudal society, and you can have three wives and four concubines...
Resisting the temptation, Xie Yu began to use the gourd mark to nurse himself back to health.
"Eh...Eh..."
"I thought this was just an ordinary time in ancient society, but I didn't expect that there was actually the aura of spiritual pregnancy in the air. Could it be that I could become an immortal?"
"Flying with a sword, carefree in the world..."
"I am coming……."
The broken state in the body is constantly being filled with new energy and blood.
All kinds of miraculous skills and unique skills flow in Xie Yu's heart...
"That's not right. Could it be that this aura is real or fake?"
Suddenly Xie Yu noticed that there was an extra small round stone in the shape of an eyeball appearing in the gourd mark.
"Phoenix Eyes? Muchen Bead?"
I subconsciously wanted to take it out, but unfortunately I couldn't.
But when it comes to how to use it, Xie Yu waved his hand subconsciously, and something in the shape of a 3D book seemed to appear in front of him.
"Virtual?"
"etc……."
Xie Yu seemed to understand that the spiritual pregnancy energy in the air seemed to be a kind of virtual spiritual energy. It was indeed fake. When he saw that it could not be used, he was happy in vain.
"Strange, what kind of world is this?"
My body had recovered a lot at this time. I touched my scarred sternum and my long-dried belly.
Xie Yu secretly shouted: "Nutrition..., I need nutrition...meat..."
Then, pulling out a rag package from the rotten hay under him, Xie Yu reluctantly got up and limped out.
Install the latest version. 】
Pushing open the already broken temple door, he received many weak curses.
"Damn it, why don't you pull down your belt? There is hot food inside..."
"I thought another one was dead. I took a fancy to the good clothes on him first, so don't compete with him..."
Looking back, I saw that my spot had been taken by another beggar. The original person would definitely be sad, but now it's Xie Yu..., forget it...
Hearing these weak sounds, Xie Yu's lameness didn't seem to be slow...
Take a sip and feel the cold air...
Looking at the half-white world: "Is it snowing? No wonder it's so cold!"
Tighten the striped shirt!
"It's so cold..."
On the way...,
In my memory, this is the capital city, and it is also the first choice for victims of disasters. There is a greater chance of survival here.
Of course, most of them refer to selling yourself as a slave to a rich wealthy family. Although this is an insult to human dignity, it is indeed a helpless way to survive.
This body had been "sold" several times, but its original appearance was only average, and it was also a cripple with injuries.
Even if you want to sell yourself, you won't be able to sell it. In ancient times, people probably didn't cut off their waists and sell human organs. This original person barely survived by begging and eating well.
But I still haven't gotten through this cold winter...
After sighing with emotion, he walked for a long time along the route he remembered. When his body became numb, Xie Yu finally saw the tall city wall.
Xie Yu couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief when he saw that the soldiers guarding the gate didn't stop him, and they probably didn't collect taxes from beggars as soldiers.
The original person was begging for food in the city, and he was begging for a good meal. Suddenly, it was said that a noble person came to the city, and the original person and many beggars were "quieted" and driven out of the city.
If we don’t stop now, it’s time for the limelight to pass.
After entering the city, Xie Yu first came to the "pit" that he was familiar with. As expected, several of his colleagues had already started "promoting business."
With the intention of standing on the last duty, Xie Yu took out a broken bowl with a gap from the rag package, wanting to experience life...
Suddenly, many "colleagues" shouted: "The Jia family has given out porridge. The Jia family has given out porridge out of kindness..."
Adhering to the concept of professional ethics, Xie Yu also followed the beggar team in the same direction.
On the road, I heard many well-informed beggars saying that a girl from the Jia family became a concubine of the emperor, which meant she was very noble.
"No, Jia Mansion, Jia Family, Duke Jia Family, Emperor's Concubine..."
"Could it be, could it be..."
Xie Yu remembered that in that modern world, he had briefly read a book called "Red Mansions". It said that it looked at the change of feudal dynasties from the rise and fall of the Jia family. It was a book that satirized feudal society.
It’s just that I didn’t have a deep foundation in classical Chinese at that time, and I only glanced through some famous works.
"But I hope it's not the world of Red Mansions in that book!"
"Otherwise...it will be troublesome!"
Although I was thinking this way, I saw the words "Rongguo Mansion", "Ningguo Mansion", "Porridge Shed", and "Prayer for the Imperial Concubine".
It is indeed a real deal...
When Xie Yu was getting ready, he lined up to try the porridge from the protagonist Jia Baoyu's house.
Suddenly, Xie Yu's eyes lit up when he saw two open-air carriages pulling a lot of bundled old clothes.
You can drink the porridge later. First, change your equipment and cloth clothes. Adding the smell, Xie Yu really felt that he was well-dressed.
Fortunately it was cold and there were no fleas.
Hey, no, just because there are no fleas doesn't mean there aren't...
So Xie Yu felt that she could still be hungry and walked around the carriage.
Sure enough, after the carriage stopped, under the "passionate" publicity of a well-dressed dog-legged butler who expressed his gratitude to the Jia family and the Jia family's merits, these old clothes began to be distributed.
Most people's eyes were probably on the bowl of hot porridge on that cold day, and not many people grabbed these old clothes.
Xie Yu, who had a different look, was flattering and grabbed a pair of cotton trousers, a cotton coat, and cotton boots, all of which were eighty-nine layers new.
Although the style is good, it should be the clothes of some servants of the Jia family, but it is no worse than the clothes of some rich people in the countryside.
For a moment, Xie Yu had the idea of selling herself into slavery in the Jia family, especially in the Rongguo Mansion.
According to the records in the book, the servants of the Jia family are as lucky as the young masters of small families.
After getting the new clothes, Xie Yu didn't have any shame, just found a corner, quickly took off the striped clothes, and wrapped them in a reasonably well-fitting cotton coat.
One size smaller for cotton trousers, one size larger for cotton boots.
Well, that’s good if you have one, but Xie Yu’s status means he’s not qualified to choose now, so that’s good!
Seeing Xie Yu changing clothes on the spot, many fellow beggars immediately went to get clothes. The porridge can be eaten later, but these clothes are the key to surviving this cold winter.
For a moment, the team was a little scattered. Xie Yu quickly found every opportunity and received the first bowl of porridge after being possessed.
When people are extremely hungry, everything they eat tastes delicious.
Moreover, it is said that it is for the blessing of the imperial concubine. This porridge is indeed very solid and thick.
After eating a bowl of porridge, Xie Yu, who was only three-thirds full, felt even hungrier.
Just when I was thinking about queuing up to get the second bowl, I saw the queue for grabbing clothes was in chaos.
Many powerful slaves of the Jia family went out to maintain order, but Xie Yu seemed to have seen some opportunity.
He put on his cloth suit again and rushed in under a simple disguise.
"My bowl..."
"My feet..."
"Arm, arm is broken..."
After harvesting five money bags, Xie Yu also understands the principle of accepting it when it is good.
He hurriedly walked, and when Xie Yu left Jiajia Porridge, Jiajia Gaonu found out that he had lost his wallet, and he was furious and even more confused.
At this time, Xie Yu showed the copper coins in his hand, found the largest ancient public bathhouse according to his original memory, and started taking a bath!
Then, because it was a "big project", in the disgusted eyes of the masters, they added money, washed hair, cut hair, washed body, pulled out pus, shaved face, and pedicured, all in one package.
In the end, looking at myself in the water vapor, the extra money spent is worth it.
But Xie Yu sighed: "Xie Yu, since you are alive again, live well."
The first step to gain a foothold in ancient feudal society was naturally the imperial examination.
Everything is inferior, but reading is the only one that is superior!
Xie Yu, who entered the palace twice, understands
The imperial examination was the weapon that allowed Eastern civilization to continue stably for thousands of years. It was easy to say at the time of the founding of the People's Republic of China that as the world stabilized, the martial arts that once dominated the country would definitely become a cancer that sucks the blood of the imperial power.
Naturally, there are some sober people among the nobles. They know that this situation will happen. It is naturally a good way to provide a study environment for the children of the clan and seek a career change.
It seems that in the book "Red Mansions", there are many powerful people with military honors, including the Jia family, and the Rongguo Mansion and the Ningguo Mansion also hope that the young children in their family will be able to take the imperial examination.
But to take the imperial examination, you must first have an identity!
Thinking of this, Xie Yu found a long-abandoned road guide note from the middle of the rag sky.
Although it was abandoned, at least he could prove his identity as a farmer. If he found a few well-known scholars to jointly guarantee it, he could participate in the imperial examination.
With basic necessities, food, housing, and transportation, the next step is to settle down first.
After reorganizing, I found more than ten taels of scattered silver and copper coins in the five unexpected wallets.
Of course, Xie Yu's status now means that he can only use copper coins first, and money will be discussed later. .
After a long time, after a major overhaul, Xie Yu looked at himself who was full of energy in the water vapor, changed his clothes again, and walked out of the bathhouse as if he was a different person.
First, he went to a clothing store and spent eight or nine taels of silver on a suit that fit well, including an old Confucian scholar's cotton robe and cotton boots.
After asking the boss to send another package containing old clothes from the Jia family, Xie Yu left.
Afterwards, Xie Yu, who had "reborn as a new man", touched his hair and found that it was much shorter because of the insect repair, so he reluctantly inserted the wooden bundle of hair.
A man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle!
When Xie Yu came to this place with a cultural atmosphere called Liulichang, knowing that no one was checking his identity card, Xie Yu easily slipped in.
When Xie Yu came out again, he said with emotion that the experience was indeed not in vain.
After touching it, more than ten taels of scattered silver coins came out, as well as two portable banknotes worth one hundred taels and three fifty taels.
Then I went to a book market and found a relatively large bookstore.
Purchased some of the world's characteristics: Meng Tong Xun, Three-Character Classic, Thousand Character Classic, Rhythm Enlightenment, Thousand Family Poems, Analysis of Ancient Prose, Prodigy Poems, Antiphons, Rhyme Poetry Xun, Xun Meng Erhai Sentences, Li Weng Dui Rhymes, Zengguang Xianwen, Yixue Qionglin and so on.
After all, these are the foundation for a scholar in the ancient feudal world.
After that, I bought a scholar's fan, a collection of pens, inks, paper and inkstones, a compilation of contemporary articles, a "Selected Works of Ci Chens of the Hanyuan Dynasty", and Zhu Xi's annotations on the Four Books and Five Classics, which are mainstream scientific studies.
Studying in ancient times did cost money. Although most of it was second-hand goods, it cost Xie Yu more than a hundred taels of silver, so it was hard to negotiate the price.
In the end, the shop owner saw that Xie Yu had bought too much, so he gave him a small discount and gave him a few pieces of low-quality bamboo paper for practicing calligraphy.
Finally, he asked the waiter to call a carriage for Xie Yu. According to Xie Yu, the waiter asked the horseman to take him to Ningrong Street in Ningrong Second Mansion.
This horseman inherited the tradition of taxi drivers, and Xie Yu said he wanted to pay more.
The stable boy immediately became a talkative guide. Xie Yu first asked him to lead him to purchase some suitable clothes, bedding and other daily necessities.
This stable boy has been driving around the streets all year round, so he naturally knows where there are discounts. Although they don't know how big the discounts are here, neither of them thinks that they have suffered a loss.
Afterwards, the stable boy told himself about Ningrong Street.
Naturally, Ningrong Street is centered around Rongning Second Mansion. The back door is nicknamed Ningrongli, the west of Rongguo Mansion is called Xingrongli, and the east of Ningguo Mansion is called Changningli.
Ningrongli is mostly a branch of the Jia family, Xingrongli is headed by in-laws from Zunrong Mansion, and Changningli is dominated by in-laws from Ningfu.
Outside the front door is Ningrong Street. Ningrong Street is adjacent to Ningrong Lane. To the south of Ningrong Lane is Fenggong City. There is also a newly built Ningrong back lane in the south of Fenggong City.
Although the names are all "lane" and "li", in fact, there are alleys within alleys and alleys leading to alleys, with hundreds of families living in each.
There are all kinds of people gathered together in one place, and I am afraid that there will be no more than three or four thousand people taking shelter here. Most of them have some relationship with the Jia family and rely on the Jia family to make a living.
And Xie Yu's target is the back alley of Ningrong Street, or speaking of Ningrong Back Street, it is mostly a place where collateral members of the Jia family and ordinary people live together.
The purpose of choosing this place is of course the experience of a time traveler, and it cannot be too far away from the protagonist.
Only by relying on the plot can we make a rough plan.
After asking someone randomly, I knew where Jia Yun's house was on the back porch.
In the confusion of the horseherd, Xie Yu paid him the fare and reward, asked him to unload all his luggage, and let him leave.
"Bang...bang...bang..."
Knock on the door….
A middle-aged woman with a tired look came out and said, "You are..."
Xie Yu said respectfully: "Is this Uncle Yun's house? Xiao Ke went to Beijing to study in order to gain fame, and he wanted to live in a wing for a long time. I heard that there is a vacant room in Uncle Yun's house, but I don't know..."
Before she finished speaking, Yun Mu saw the silver beans weighing in Xie Yu's hand and swallowed.
Youdao is having a hard time with the New Year, and her family is almost running out of food, so her family, Yun'er, is borrowing money to celebrate the New Year!
Yun Mu would naturally welcome scholars like Xie Yu who came to rent a house, but...
Although Xie Yu suddenly appeared, Yun Mu was a little hesitant!
But looking at Xie Yu's large and small bags piled together, there are so many books, especially many old books among them. At first glance, he has read them all, so he should be a "standard" scholar.
For scholars, in ancient society, there was a natural sense of trust in the hearts of ordinary people, just like college students in later generations.
So this middle-aged woman, while helping Xie Yu carry her luggage, enthusiastically asked Xie Yu if he wanted some food.
Xie Yu naturally nodded in agreement!
Jia Yun, who had gone out to borrow rice but failed to meet, came back a little frustrated, thinking about going to her uncle's house tomorrow. Although it was shameful, it was better than nothing!
Naturally, I saw Xie Yu, who was limping and dressed as a scholar, renting a house at his house.
(The new year has begun. Sister Lin fell from the sky. After hesitating for a long time, I hope that in the new year, there will be a new beginning from this classic book "A Dream of Red Mansions". The writing may disappoint everyone. Please don’t mind if I am limited by my writing skills. I wish you all a prosperous and healthy new year!)
