parallel world.
It was the eighth day of April in the twenty-fifth year of Taihe Period in Daliang Dynasty.
In the imperial capital of Daliang, the emperor died in Zhangtai Palace.
From the prince to the princes and ministers in Beijing, the princess and even the married woman, they all set up several tables in Zhangtai Palace to burn incense, kneel down, drink libations, and express their condolences. For a time, starting from the capital, the world was deserted and all the nine states were mourning.
Tang Yu, the 36-year-old second son of the emperor, who had been the prince for eleven years, was overwhelmed with grief and lost his heart. Before the officials could persuade him to come in, they cried and passed out.
On the day of the funeral, the emperor's Zi Palace was moved to Qianqing Palace for all officials to pay their respects.
Xiao Yijin, the chief assistant of the cabinet, reported to the queen that the emperor was in great danger, the country was in danger, the throne was vacant, the prince was ill, and the people were in trouble. The empress inherited the great kindness of the late emperor, and she should grieve and obey the changes. She should put the country and the country first, settle the affairs early, and maintain order and peace in the world.
The 28-year-old Nangong Yingyue Nuonuo, the second empress of Emperor Taihe, remained silent.
The next day, the prince Tang Yu, who had been recovering in the East Palace for several days and was still half-dead, was carried by the officials in front of the coffin of Qianqing Palace to succeed the emperor and change his name to Chunde.
The new emperor was ill and unable to govern, causing the empire's center to operate slowly. The former empress, now the Queen Mother, Nangong Yingyue, responded to the request of hundreds of officials to attend the court and temporarily supervise state affairs. The young empress dowager had no choice but to rush to the shelves, and the empire's center slowly began to operate.
But after more than ten years of Emperor Taihe's wanton squandering, undercurrents began to surge under the peaceful surface.
The Liang Empire, which had been founded for 150 years, was in trouble.
…………
Jiangbei Road, Jiangzhou Prefecture, Jianglin.
The spring rain has been falling for several days, there are few pedestrians on the street, and the shops on both sides are closed. Occasionally, children would play around the puddles on the street corners, adding a lot of life to this large Jiangnan city that had fallen into silence due to the death of the emperor and the arrival of the rainy season.
Walk westward along Zhuque Street, the main road, and after crossing the Baishi Bridge, you will see a tall mansion surrounded by white walls and green tiles. This is the famous Shen Mansion Shen Garden in Jiangzhou.
Shen Garden is adjacent to Qingqiu in the west and Lanjiang River in the south, covering an area of more than 100 acres. The garden is interconnected with pavilions and pavilions, and exotic flowers and plants are everywhere. In the hazy mist and rain, the graceful appearance of Jiangnan is fully displayed.
There is a lake in the northwest of Shen Garden, and there is a pavilion on the lake. The lake is called Beihai, and the pavilion is called Tinghai Pavilion. The North Sea is connected with the stream, and finally merges into the Lanjiang River.
On the wooden pontoon extending outside the pavilion, a young man wearing a raincoat was sitting quietly by the water, like a still painting.
The young man is extremely handsome, with a slender figure but does not appear weak. He has thick hair, fair skin, an angular face, and clear yet soft features. Under his thick eyebrows, his bright and deep eyes are long, narrow and energetic. His high nose bridge and tight lip line make his facial contours more beautiful. The whole person looks both masculine and handsome.
The fishing rod in the young man's hand was shaking slightly, and the fishing line caused ripples on the water, echoing with the raindrops falling in the water. But the young man never moved, his handsome face was as calm as water, his beautiful eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and his pair of eyes that should have been clear and deep seemed to have lost their former spirituality, just looking into the distance in a daze.
"Uncle, let's go back, the rain is getting heavier and heavier." A girl in lavender clothes sat in the pavilion and frowned at the figure outside the pavilion.
After hearing what the maid said, Lu Jin slowly raised his head to look at the water in the distance and sighed softly. The continuous drizzle was like a curtain, covering the whole world. Just like my current situation, I couldn't see anything clearly.
As soon as he woke up, a social creature in modern society had become the son-in-law of the Shen family who had just spent their wedding night alone. I don’t know my way forward, and I don’t know my way back.
Lu Jin, who has read many novels, is very familiar with the time-travel process. So on the day of the time travel, he stared excitedly and stayed up all night, just waiting for the sacred moment of enlightenment, waiting for his memory to revive and start his road to dominance.
But when the maid outside called the door the next day, Lu Jin sighed with dark circles under her eyes, what a memory, not even a drop of it!
But Lu Jin was not discouraged. When God closed a door for me, he had to open a window for me. Yes, there's nothing wrong with it, Goldfinger, open it for me!
…
Goldfinger didn't wait, but he did wait for the news of the emperor's death. It has little to do with you. The son of destiny has not yet fully awakened. How can I care about you, a little human emperor!
So for the past ten days, he has been wandering around like this. Others ignored him, and he didn't bother to talk to others. He wasn't the kind of person who was familiar with others. He no longer has any hope for memory empowerment, golden fingers, etc. It is highly likely that there will be no hope.
Just like in his previous life, no good thing happened to him. The African chieftain's physique is terrifying!
Not to mention cheating, Lu Jin's current situation is not ideal. He has been in Shen's house for almost half a month. Not to mention the bride, he has not even seen the bride's... other people in Shen's house.
He was like an invisible man. If it weren't for the maids and maids who accompanied him, he would have doubted whether he was alive.
However, Lu Jin was not anxious. On the contrary, for a three-no time traveler, he had just enough time to understand and become familiar with his new identity and the world he was in.
The country he is in is called Daliang. Daliang borders the Yuhai Sea in the east, Cangshan Mountain in the west, Liyang Ocean in the south, and the wilderness in the north. It is the central country. The royal family's surname is Tang. It is now the twenty-fifth year of Taihe. The emperor who died a few days ago is Emperor Taihe. Lu Jin recalled carefully, there was no such a unified dynasty.
The place under your feet is Shen Mansion in Jianglin City, Jiangzhou Prefecture, Jiangbei Province. Lu Jin himself topped the list in the just-concluded government examination and became a scholar. Yes, the young man standing by the water in a daze is none other than Lu Jin, the top scholar in Jiangzhou Prefecture's current academic examination, the head of the case, and the rising star of Daliang.
But what the hell is a adopted son-in-law? And where is his home? In the weird eyes of the maids, he did not dare to ask further.
Lu Jin's current state is a bit like an ostrich. When I read the book in the original world, I felt that it was super cool to travel back and forth. Not to mention becoming a saint immediately, at least I could wake up and take over the world, get drunk and lie on the lap of a beautiful woman, etc. It shouldn't be a big problem.
But once it comes true, apart from a black eye, I feel helpless and confused. But he is not in a hurry. Although people and dogs are ignoring him at the moment, there is no shortage of food and clothing, so he will not starve to death just after crossing over. This also allows Lu Jin to have time to fish and relax.
Lu Jin admired the seniors in the book who were faced with a life-and-death situation just after they traveled through time and were able to kill everyone, but he really couldn't do that.
Although he was in a bit of an ostrich situation at the moment, Lu Jin, who was full of inner drama, still couldn't help but think about it. Just now, how is Lu Jin's original family? What about relationships? Do you want to go home or not? I am different from those people who have memories. I know nothing about that home, have no feelings at all, and reject it from the bottom of my heart.
Are you thinking about just leaving it alone? But Lu Jin, who has lived for more than thirty years, knows very well that there are too many alternatives in life, and you can't just do whatever you want.
In a dilapidated home, is there a blind old lady looking forward to her son coming home every day? Shine on the lintel of the Lu family with good grades?
Even if you don't care about these blood relationships without conscience, how will you behave in the future? An unfilial son is stuck in this ancient world and cannot move forward, and Lu Jin cannot accept herself like this.
But what should I do when I go home? He became a son-in-law in a daze, how to explain this?
In addition to returning home, the marriage relationship with the Shen family is also very complicated. Even though Lu Jin had not seen much of ancient life, judging by common sense, this marriage was too strange. Aren't you here for the exam? He did pretty well in the exam, why should he be a son-in-law? A great future awaits Lu Jin in this world.
This Shen Mansion is also very strange. As for the current garden, even though I had seen a lot in my previous life, I was still frightened by this garden. What a tyrannical family this is, how can it withstand such a thing?
Not to mention, the Shen family can do it!
The Shen family of Jiangzhou has been a minister for many generations, and has been wearing hairpins for generations. Since the ancestor Wuchenghou Shenfu, it has endured through five dynasties. It is a super valve. Although it is located in the north of the Yangtze River, it is close to the Lanjiang River, just across the river from the Jiangdong family. Together with the Xiao family of Wujiang, the Pei family of Gusu, the Zhou family of Yuzhang, and the Tantai family of Jinling, they are collectively known as the Five Clan of Jiangnan. The Shen family in Jiangzhou has always been a high-ranking official, with a family list that is the most prosperous in the world, and the Ding clan is the best in the country. On the ground in Jiangzhou, the Shen family is like a local emperor, that's for sure.
The ancestral home of the Shen family in Jiangzhou is not Shenyuan, but Shenjia Village in Wulingyuan, a subsidiary of Jianglin County. Those living in Shen Yuan have always been the lineage of Shen Huaitang, the eldest grandson of the ancestor Shen Fu. Shen Garden was built since Shen Huaitang, and it took dozens of generations of management to reach its current scale.
Compared with the prosperous descendants of other branches of Shen Yuan, the inheritance of direct descendants of Shen Yuan is not strong, and the recent generations have been passed down by a single line. This embarrassing situation was relieved after the present ancestor of the Shen family, the grandmother Bai Lu, who was Lu Jin's nominal wife, gave birth to three sons and one daughter to the Shen family. Lu Jin's mother-in-law also gave birth to two sons and a daughter to the Shen family, plus several cousins, so there was no need to worry about the inheritance.
So it's very strange. A high-ranking family, with prosperous heirs and orderly inheritance, what kind of son will you marry? After eliminating all possibilities, there was only one left: there was something wrong with his bride.
Moreover, the Shen Mansion is currently ignoring him. What does this mean? The charming groom who finally got married was so blind?
As an office worker in his previous life, he didn't mind living on a soft diet. But I can’t feel at ease just eating it this way!
While he was dazed, he heard a rapid sound coming from a distance.
"Uncle, uncle, if the lady wants to see you, come back with me quickly."
Lu Jin turned around and looked back, and saw a little maid in light yellow clothes on the other side of the pavilion running towards this side in the rain.
Lu Jin suppressed the panic in his heart, put away his fishing rod, stood up, shook the rain off his raincoat, and walked towards the pavilion.
This time, can all the mysteries be solved?
