"Old madam, the eldest gentleman and Miss Liu are still discussing matters on the wall in the backyard."
"You continue to watch."
The person who is called the old lady is Gao Jingshi's mother Zhang. Since Gao Jingshi won the first prize and was already a Jinshi, he can no longer be called the young master, so now the sixth generation of the Gao family has been promoted to "big master". He is talking about being highly pragmatic, because he is the eldest son. The pragmatic father and mother have been upgraded to the old man and the old lady.
Gao Jingshi had just brought Liu Xin in to see Mr. Zhang, but Gao Jingshi looked quite bad. Even when he saw his mother, he just forced a smile, and soon made an excuse to take Liu Xin to the wall of the backyard. We left after admiring the scenery of Shuangjie River.
Mrs. Zhang was very surprised that her son actually brought a young girl home. When she learned that the girl was the daughter of Liu Xian, the crown prince's eunuch and the former governor of the Nanjing Chinese Army Governor's Office, she was even more surprised and sent a servant to guard the building wall. Check it out and report back anytime.
She could understand that Gao Jingshi was in a bad mood. She had received news about the affairs of the capital before. Although he was on patrol according to his weight, he had been demoted after all. But how did this general's daughter come with her son? She was puzzled.
Although the Governor Tongzhi was a high-ranking official from the first rank, he was a military attache. Although he was a great figure in the eyes of ordinary people, in the eyes of Zhang, he was nothing more than that.
In terms of family status, the Gao family has been a long-time official, with three uncles and two dynasties of emperors. From official to auxiliary, and with the posthumous title Wenzheng, they are the pinnacle of civil servants. And the Zhang family is now also a prime minister, and their own son has no choice. He is the sixth number one scholar. Having worked as a companion for the past ten years, even if I stay in Beijing to gain qualifications, I still have a solid career as a senior citizen.
When it comes to wealth, forget it about the Gao and Zhang families, they don't even bother to discuss it.
So Ms. Zhang is a little nervous now. Don’t think her son has any thoughts about this girl. That’s not very appropriate.
But in fact, Gao Wuchen has no thoughts in this regard at all. He is just a little nervous.
"So, I inexplicably traveled through time at that location, and you had a car accident at that location. We didn't travel through time at the same time."
"That's probably it. I traveled two years later than you."
"I'm two years older than you now, right? I forgot to ask you exactly what year you were born. I'm in the 42nd year of Jiajing. What about you?"
"Forty-four years of Jiajing."
"That's right." Gao Pingshi breathed a sigh of relief, "I just said that you were only five or six years old at that time, how could you be so smart."
"There were so many prodigies in the Ming Dynasty, but you just stare at me and you are not a prodigy yourself."
Gao Pragmatic smiled bitterly and said, "I am a child prodigy for a reason, but I didn't know your situation at the time, so I was naturally surprised. By the way, when did you start to doubt my identity?"
"In the sixth year of Wanli, when Zhang Juzheng died of illness."
"It's so late." Gao Pragmatic looked surprised. "I thought you should have noticed it by the sixth year of Longqing or the first year of Wanli at the latest."
Liu Xin shook her head, "You are thinking too much. I usually don't read history. The names I have heard of in this era are only a few, such as the black-hearted prime minister Zhang Juzheng, the anti-Japanese hero Qi Jiguang, and the Wanli Emperor who did not go to court. To tell you the truth, I still don’t know what year AD the eighth year of Wanli is.”
"Then why did you travel through time?"
"Is it what I want? I don't want to stay in this era. Except for the clear water and green mountains, which are better than back then, it doesn't matter what else I want. And I am a girl and can't do anything. Do you think I want to?"
Gao Pragmatic was stunned for a moment, and then he could only smile bitterly, "What you said makes sense."
"Of course, it makes so much sense. Think about it, how wonderful it is for you men to time travel. It's reasonable and legal to have three wives and four concubines. But what can I do? If it weren't for my father doting on me and my brother being so busy, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to get married. I couldn’t get out more than a few times and it was so boring that I died of it.”
Gao Pragmatic coughed dryly, "Three wives and four concubines do not exist, there are only one husband, one wife and multiple concubines."
"That's what I said. You know what I want to express." Liu Xin sighed, "I can't do anything in this era. If I hadn't remembered that Zhang Juzheng should have been prime minister for ten years and carried out some Zhang Juzheng reforms, I would You won’t even know your identity now.”
Gao pragmatic thought and said, "In other words, you started to doubt me because Zhang Juzheng didn't become a assistant. But why don't you doubt my third uncle?"
"Soap." Liu Xin said, "Although I don't know when soap appeared, I think it is a chemical product anyway, and it should not have appeared in the Ming Dynasty."
"What did you study or do you do before?"
Liu Xin looked helpless, "Graduated from a normal college, a high school geography teacher, and just finished my internship period. What do you think my major can be used for in the future?"
Gao Qingshi laughed and said, "I think making soap is good. It's easy and profitable. Everyone does it this way. I tried it and it feels really good. It's worth recommending."
Liu Xin rolled her eyes, "I can only use soap, but I don't know how to cook. At that time, I was a good daughter. I was a student cadre since I was a child. After graduation, I was busy taking postgraduate entrance examinations and editing exams. How could I have time to read those things? Who knew I could travel through time?" "
Gao Pragmatic laughed again, "Then what will you do in the future? Otherwise, I will give a geography class in Jian Xinzhai to let you remember the joy that has passed away."
He was originally joking, but Liu Xin actually thought about it seriously and said, "Don't tell me yet, I think this can be done. At least it can teach them to open their eyes to the world."
Gao pragmatic was stunned for a moment and asked, "Are you serious?"
"I'm not kidding, otherwise I think I will die of suffocation sooner or later, especially as I get older, my dad starts to mention marriage intentionally or unintentionally, which is annoying to death." Liu Xin sighed.
Gao pragmatic scratched his head and hesitated to speak.
Liu Xin became alert and said, "Don't think too much. I won't marry you just because I come from the same world as you."
Gao pragmatic couldn't help laughing and joked, "Then why?"
Liu Xin shook her head and said, "It's not fair, so I'm not happy with it. I plan not to marry for the rest of my life."
As she spoke, she seemed to suddenly remember something, and asked, "By the way, since you have a good history, let me ask you, how many years will the Ming Dynasty have before I die? Will the Ming Dynasty still be destroyed?"
"Why are you asking this? Do you still care about the change of dynasties?" Gao Pragmatic just heard her say that she had almost no understanding of this era. He already knew that this was a "normal modern girl" who did not look at history. In his impression, girls I basically have no love for politics.
"I'm not concerned about the change of dynasties, I'm concerned about my stupid elder brother." Liu Xin said distressedly, "I remember it's almost the end of the Ming Dynasty. My elder brother is a military general. Will anything happen to him then? And what happens to him in the future?" Now, whose food should I eat?"
"The food problem is easy to solve. We are from the same world. If you don't marry me, I can raise you. How much can you eat as a girl?"
"No, you have a way of saying that people are short-handed and cannibalize people with soft-spoken words and good intentions. Rather than doing this, I would rather eat the old man. Anyway, after the matter of Baibao Xingming Powder is settled, the Liu family should not die of hunger. I will If you are thick-skinned and ask my father for some shares, it will probably be enough."
"You don't have any ideals." Gao Pragmatic scratched his head, "For example, liberating women and so on. You girls shouldn't be more interested in these."
"Haha, what can I do to free me to tell these girls who are similar to me or the female relatives of other families? They will only think that I am crazy, regard me as a scourge, and then tell their fathers or husbands, and then Don’t say it’s me if you come down, even my father and my brother may be killed by me.”
Gao Pragmatic said in surprise, "You are quite sober."
Liu Xin rolled her eyes at him and said angrily, "Even if I wasn't sober for the first few years, more than ten years have passed and I'm still not sober. Am I a pig?"
She laughed again when she saw Gao Pragmatic, and said dissatisfiedly, "Why are you laughing? If I traveled through time and became a man, would I be so entangled?"
Gao pragmatic suddenly laughed louder.
Liu Xin pretended to be angry and said, "Don't you have any gentlemanly manners?" Then he said, "You haven't answered the question I asked you. How many years will it be until the Ming Dynasty? Will my elder brother be okay?"
Gao Pingshi suppressed his smile this time, looked serious, and hesitated to speak as he pondered.
Liu Xin became nervous, "It's not going to be over soon. My eldest brother is so strong in martial arts. He shouldn't die in battle. Don't you have a port and a fleet? How about you lend us a boat to escape to the sea? I won't be in vain." Those who get benefits, I remember the locations of many mining areas, if you are so rich, you will definitely be able to open one."
Gao pragmatic couldn't help laughing again, shook his head and said, "I said, although you think you can't change the world, I think I can still change something. Why are you just thinking about escaping before things happen?" "
"Really?" Liu Xin felt a little relieved and asked, "How much can you change my elder brother's historical results?"
"Your eldest brother was known as the most powerful general in the late Ming Dynasty. He fought many big battles and was famous. However, he died in the Battle of Saarhu when he was about sixty years old." Gao pragmatically replied calmly.
"Died in battle." Liu Xin's eyes widened in horror, but she quickly turned her eyes slightly, "Sarhu, he died fighting the Jurchens in Fushun, Liaoning and the Qing Dynasty."
"Your geography is indeed good, but I'm afraid you failed in history." Gao Pragmatic commented, "It was not called the Qing Dynasty at that time, there was not even a Qing Dynasty, there was only the Later Jin Dynasty. Of course, that was the predecessor of the Qing Dynasty. You are not completely wrong."
Liu Xin ignored his evaluation of her historical level. Instead, she thought for a moment and said, "My brother is in his early sixties. You should be less than sixty years old. You should be old by then. Can you think of some way to make it easier?" My brother won’t fight that battle.”
Gao pragmatically sighed helplessly and said, "I would rather not have that battle at all and I think it is not difficult." He said, rolled his eyes again, and said, "Ten thousand steps back, if I do it At that time, Salhu could still be defeated, but I ate my own official seal in front of you."
"really"
"really."
"Very good, it seems you are of some use."
"Uh thank you."
"Don't get me wrong, I mean, it's still a lot more useful than me."
