Do you know? It tells the story of a concubine of a sixth-rank official who grew up and stayed with the protagonist Gu Tingye who also went through hardships, and finally gained love and career.
Although there are many regrets, the ending is satisfactory. If the system suddenly arranges such a dungeon world, what will happen to the main mission?
Wang Zhong couldn't help but ponder in his heart, and when he thought of the two poems that appeared on the system panel, he had some different thoughts.
As time passed, Wang Zhong searched for the drama series he knew and reviewed this seventy-eight-episode period costume house-fighting drama. Although due to the adaptation, there are still many flaws and flaws in the details. But overall it's pretty good.
I actually came up with the idea of a farmhouse, but to be honest, Wang Zhong’s hometown really doesn’t have any big advantages when it comes to building a farmhouse. First of all, there are no tourist attractions nearby. Secondly, there are road problems. So far, there is only one 5.5-meter-wide road. Naturally, it is not a problem to drive on a rural road, but if it really attracts a large number of tourists, it will not be enough.
However, Wang Zhong is not short of money now. Even if the farmhouse cannot make money, it will not lose money. As soon as he said he would do it, Wang Zhong immediately went to the village to apply. Nowadays, rural areas pay attention to one house per household. As the name suggests, a family can only have one house. If you want to have a farmhouse, the existing houses in the village, regardless of their style, The decoration is not suitable either.
The application and review take time, but the village is still very supportive of Wang Zhong's farmhouse. If Wang Zhong's farmhouse really takes off and attracts diners, the villagers may also be able to make money.
Wang Zhong spent another cigarette and asked the village secretary to help him run up and down and complete the procedures. Wang Zhong stayed at home and selected an open space by the river. After discussing with the owner of the land, he settled it at a higher price. The price was 30% of the market price, and a 70-year subcontract was signed. After all, unlike other types of land transfer, Wang Zhong wanted to build a house on it for farm entertainment.
After all the procedures were completed, Wang Zhong's planning drawings were almost completed, and the countdown to entering the dungeon was almost over.
On this day, Wang Zhong called Lao Yuan and invited him to dinner. Lao Yuan unexpectedly did not ask Wang Zhong to pick him up this time, but directly asked Wang Zhong to decide the place and he would go there himself.
Wang Zhong went to the beef restaurant that the two of them frequented, and ordered a beef cauldron worth 248, a cold dish, and seasonal vegetables that some stores gave away for hot pot. Before the dishes came, Lao Yuan came with two The girl is coming.
"My girlfriend, Zhou Xiaoyun, this is Xiaoyun's best friend, Zhang Ying!"
"Hello, sister-in-law!" Wang Zhong was the youngest among his classmates, so it was natural for him to call him sister-in-law. Zhou Xiaoyun has long hair shawl, an oval face, exquisite makeup, and delicate facial features. She is a pretty girl with a good appearance. She is not short either, almost 1.65 meters tall. Wang Zhong also recognized this Zhou Xiaoyun. She was one of the three girls they had supper with last time.
Thinking of this, Wang Zhong glanced at Lao Yuan meaningfully. This guy was quick enough to strike. But next to him, Zhang Ying was slightly shorter, with short hair and an oval face. Wang Zhong did not see him. Pass.
Zhou Xiaoyun didn't feel embarrassed at all, and greeted Wang Zhong happily, and then introduced Zhang Ying. Zhang Ying is Zhou Xiaoyun's classmate and best friend. They have a good relationship. She just graduated a year ago and now works in a private hospital. Work hard to prepare for the city hospital exam.
The appearance is somewhat similar to Zhu Zhe. After briefly introducing each other's situation, Wang Dian's delicious dishes were brought out one after another. The four of them didn't drink, they ordered two juices, and just chatted while eating a large portion of beef hot pot.
Wang Zhong traveled all over the country and gained a lot of knowledge. There were few people who didn't know about astronomy and geography, and his experience was far beyond ordinary people. After eating the meal, the two girls were all smiles. After the meal, Lao Yuan and Zhou Xiaoyun took the two of them to watch a movie. What I was watching was a domestic love movie that had just been released not long ago.
Zhou Xiaoyun and Zhang Ying sat in the middle, Wang Zhong and Lao Yuan sat on both sides. Wang Zhong was naturally next to Zhang Ying, but as they watched, Lao Yuan and Zhou Xiaoyun couldn't help but hug each other. He started chewing, and his movements were not small. Wang Zhong didn't feel anything, but it made Zhang Ying a little embarrassed.
After coming out of the cinema, the four of them took the elevator straight to the underground garage.
"Old Wang, I'll leave Zhang Ying to you!" Lao Yuan winked at Wang Zhong, while Zhou Xiaoyun on the side also winked at Zhang Ying frequently.
Wang Zhong smiled and said: "I promise to deliver the person home safely! You two, be careful not to kill anyone." This is an old joke. Everyone naturally knows what it means, but Lao Yuan is very direct: "I I wish I could kill someone so that I can marry Xiaoyun home sooner." As he spoke, he deliberately raised his two interlocked hands.
"Then I wish you both a baby soon?"
"roll!"
"Okay!" The smile on Zhang Ying's face didn't stop until she got into the co-pilot of Wang Zhong h9.
"Do you guys usually get along like this?" Zhang Ying asked Wang Zhong curiously.
"Almost!" Wang Zhong said with a smile. Start the car and slowly drive out of the basement.
"I heard from Xiaoyun that your home is in the countryside?"
"right!"
"Having bought such a good car, I shouldn't be short of money. Why don't you consider buying a house in the city?"
"There is no need for this at the moment!" Wang Zhong said: "The air in the countryside is better than that in the city. It's good to take a break for a while, cultivate one's mind, and be able to spend time with the elderly at home." Zhang Ying nodded, somewhat She looked at Wang Zhong in surprise and said: "Most people of our age are eager to move out from home to avoid their parents' nagging, but there are not many like you." Zhang Ying is twenty-four years old, slightly younger than Wang Zhong. , but only two years old, not much different.
Wang Zhongdao: "Everyone has his own ambitions! Some people want to become famous, some want to see the vast world outside, I don't have big ambitions, I like a quieter and more peaceful life."... Where Zhang Ying's family lives It wasn't far, it only took ten minutes to drive there, and the two of them chatted a lot along the way. As soon as Wang Zhong's car drove out of Zhang Ying's community, he received a message from Zhang Ying on WeChat.
Zhang Ying: I'm home. Thank you for sending me back. Zhang Ying: And...thank you for the meal! Zhang Ying: Drive slowly!
Remember to let me know when you get home. Wang Zhong parked the car on the side of the road and replied with a voice message. ······The Grand Canal runs through the north and south. Since Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty ordered the construction of the canal, all dynasties have repaired the canal. Up to this day, the canal has become an important thoroughfare running through the north and south, and is also a hub connecting the north and the south. .
Compared with land routes, water routes are convenient and fast, and the carrying capacity of large ships is far beyond that of horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts.
Since the canal was dug, water transportation has been available. Every summer and autumn, the summer grain and autumn grain collected from various places in the south of the Yangtze River are transported all the way north to the capital.
On a large two-masted ship heading south from Lianghuai to Yangzhou, on the bow deck, a burly man wearing narrow-sleeved clothes and a green scarf with his hair tied up sat cross-legged, with an eyebrow-length stick beside him.
"Sanlang!"
"Sanlang!" Suddenly there was a shout from behind, and then a black man in the same dress trotted over and sat down next to the burly man.
"It's strange today. You're not studying in the cabin, so why are you here!" The dark man was a head shorter than the burly man. Even after he sat down, he was still three or four inches shorter.
"Nothing to do, let's take a look at the scenery." The burly man said.
"It's long past time to come out. The scenery along both sides of the river is so beautiful. Sitting in the cabin all day is almost getting moldy!" The strong black man said with some envy.
"By the way, what are your plans after we return to Yangzhou?"
"I have also saved some money in the past two years. I will buy back my ancestral property first, settle down my sister-in-law and my second mother, and then continue studying for the imperial examination!" said the burly man.
"Hey!" The strong black man sighed, looked at the burly man with slightly tanned skin, and said with some emotion: "If it weren't for your eldest brother, who was such a dirty guy, he lost all his money, and even his house and land were worth less. If you give it to others, you don't have to follow us to do the work of licking blood from the knife edge to earn the hard-earned money." But the burly man smiled slightly and said: "This man has passed away, but the living must live on." The strong black man admired it. The burly man smiled and patted his shoulder and said, "You're right, those who are alive must live." As he spoke, the man in black glanced at the wood carvings that the burly man was playing with, and his eyes immediately lit up. He took Muxue from the burly man's hand and looked at it carefully: "This doll is Er Niang, right?" Muxue looked like a doll, the size of a palm, with a small body and a big head, with two towering pins on the top of his head. The bun is like two small horns, and the round little face is very cute.
"Is this your fault?" The strong black man grew more fond of it the more he looked at it.
"I have nothing to do, just play around, think of it as a gift to my second mother!"
"Resembling! Really similar!" The strong black man gave a thumbs up and kept praising.
"As expected of a scholar, he is good at everything he does, unlike us big guys who can only use our strength." Wang Zhong looked at Wang Er in front of him and said happily: "Second brother, you deserve the award. These are just some small tricks of mine, they don't count." After Wang Zhong woke up, , even on the big ship, Wang Erxi was Wang Zhong's brother from the same village. Because the court encouraged trade and the family was really in trouble, he saw that he could not survive, so he took up the burden and prepared to start a small business to support his family in Hukou, because He was strong and strong, and by chance, he rescued a man from the Cao Gang by the river, so he joined the Cao Gang, learned a few banker moves, and followed the Cao Gang up and down the canal. Go on a boat to make a living.
This time, the identity assigned to Wang Zhong by the system was that of a farmer from a well-off family. His family originally had dozens of acres of land and a house. His parents died young. When he was young, his eldest brother was also a good man praised by everyone. He took care of the family business in an orderly manner. However, someone set him up and became addicted to gambling. He lost all his property and even his life, leaving only his wife and young daughter behind, and he was almost kidnapped by the gambling house people to pay off his debts.
Fortunately, there was Wang Zhong, who had practiced boxing with an old Taoist priest who was passing by when he was young. He had a very good reputation in the village. He led his tribe to protect his widowed sister-in-law and niece, went to the house in person, went deep into the tiger's den, and paid off his brother Wang Da's debt. , but also lost all his family fortune.
In order to make a living, the widowed sister-in-law took her niece to wash and work in Yangzhou city. Wang Zhong, with the help of Wang Erxi from the same village, started a business with the Caobang's fleet going south and north.
Having absorbed all the memories provided by the system, Wang Zhong also slowly entered his own role.
A boy from a peasant family, he has studied since he was a child and is good at both civil and military skills, which saves him a lot of trouble. The cargo ship went all the way down the river, and arrived in Yangzhou in just two days. After disembarking from the pier, Wang Zhong thanked everyone in Caobang, gave them the prepared thank you gifts, bid farewell to everyone, and went straight back to the small room he rented near the pier. hospital.
It has been four years since Mrs. Li married into the Wang family. She was only twenty-eight years old when she got married, and now she is only twenty years old. She is pretty and charming. Although she is not stunningly beautiful, her gentleness that is unique to Jiangnan women has long been deeply rooted in her. It's deeply engraved in my bones.
When they first got married, they spent a year in a tight relationship. However, later on, the husband became addicted to gambling and lost all their property, house and Li’s dowry, and even his life. .
Fortunately, my uncle was a man of standing. When the family was in ruins, he stood up to the Wang family and protected Li and his daughter Wang Erniang. Li and her daughter were afraid that their bones would have been eaten by tigers and wolves long ago. Leftover.
"Aniang! Why isn't Third Uncle coming back?" Li Erniang, three years old, had her smooth and delicate hair tied into two small curls with a red rope. She also held a rattle in her hand, which she would shake up and down from time to time to make a tinkling sound. The crisp and sweet sound of Dongdong.
Mrs. Li was washing clothes by the well. There were several tripod bamboo stands in the courtyard, with dark long bamboos stretched across them. Many clothes were hung on some of them.
Li is a woman who comes from a peasant family. She makes ordinary food, doesn't know how to embroider, and is not very talkative. She can't do business, so she can only take on the work of starching and sewing, but she can still earn some money to supplement the family income.
Listening to her daughter's words, Mrs. Li couldn't help but think of that tall and burly brother-in-law, who was like a god.
Before Li could speak, there was a knock on the door.
"Uncle San must be back!" Er Niang immediately stood up from the stool excitedly, ran to Mrs. Li on her short legs, and urged Mrs. Li to open the door quickly.
Mrs. Li quickly wiped her wet hands on her apron, got up and walked to the door. As she walked, she asked, "Who is it?"
"Sister, it's me!" Hearing the familiar voice outside the door, Ms. Li was a little disappointed. The bright smile on Er Niang's face immediately disappeared. She drooped her little head and looked listless as she sat minding her own business. Returned to the little squid.
The person who knocked on the door was Aunt Yan, who lived in the same alley. It was Aunt Yan who introduced Li's job.
After chatting with Aunt Yan for a few words, she took the bag of clothes that Aunt Yan handed over to her with a smile that needed to be starched and mended, and then sent her away.
This yard is close to the pier, and the people living next to it are all working on the pier to earn money. Some of the men who work hard to earn money move around on the pier, some bring their families with them, and some are alone. Yangzhou is also an important shipping town. There are many women like Ms. Li on the dockside, washing and sewing to make a living.
Seeing her daughter's disappointed look, Mrs. Li also felt a little disappointed. Not long after, the knock on the door sounded again.
Mrs. Li put down the clothes she was washing, wiped her wet hands on her apron, and walked towards the door and asked loudly, "Who is it?"
"Sister-in-law, it's me!" A deep, deep voice came from outside the door, as if it had a special magnetism.
"Uncle?" A smile immediately appeared on Mrs. Li's face, she walked quickly to the door and pulled the bolt open. Er Niang, who was playing rattle in the courtyard, heard the sound and immediately shouted happily: "Third uncle! Grandma, it's third uncle!" She immediately opened the door of the courtyard and saw the man standing outside the door holding an eyebrow stick. The burly man with a bamboo basket on his back was smiling, and a smile suddenly appeared on his pretty face.
"Uncle, come in quickly!" He immediately stepped aside and got out of the way. Wang Zhong bowed his hands to Mrs. Li and said, "I've met my sister-in-law!"
"Uncle, you've been working hard all the way, come in and take a rest!" As he spoke, Li had already taken the fire stick and bamboo basket from Wang Zhong's hand. When he picked up the bamboo basket, it was so heavy that Li almost couldn't let it go. He let go, but fortunately Wang Zhong had quick eyesight and quick hands, and caught him.
Before Li could ask further questions, the little Erniang had already opened her hands and rushed towards Wang Zhong, shouting "Uncle Three" and "Uncle Three".
Wang Zhong bent down and picked up the second lady, and the second lady also cooperated and crawled into Wang Zhong's arms.
"After uncle Da went out, this girl kept talking about when uncle would come back every day!" Mrs. Li explained beside her, and the little girl also hugged Wang Zhong's neck and said coquettishly: "Third uncle, why are you coming back!" Wang Zhong He raised his hand again and scratched the little girl's nose, and explained with a smile: "I met a big customer, so I followed my second brother and the others to Tokyo again."
"What is Tokyo?" the little girl asked curiously.
"Bianliang, Tokyo, is the capital of our Song Dynasty and the most prosperous and lively place in the world."
"Is it more lively than Yangzhou?"
“It’s much more lively than Yangzhou!”
"Then next time the third uncle goes to Tokyo, how about taking Er Niang with him?"
"Then my sister-in-law must agree!"
"You girl, why are you so ignorant? Your third uncle has just come back. He didn't even take a sip of water, yet you caught him asking questions." Ms. Li next to her deliberately scolded her daughter with a straight face.
Er Niang looked at Wang Zhong and said, "Third uncle, are you thirsty?"
"Uncle San is not thirsty!"
"Auntie, Third Uncle said he's not thirsty!" The little girl immediately hugged Wang Zhong again and said, "Third Uncle, where is my gift?" Wang Zhong smiled and took off the wood carving pinned to his waist, holding it in front of Er Niang's eyes. He shook his head and said, "Nuo, do you like Sister Qian?" Erniang is a nickname, and the little girl's eldest name is Wang Qian. According to the memory given by the system, it is exactly the name Wang Zhong gave her.
"Wow!" Er Niang looked at the lifelike wood carvings in front of her and immediately exclaimed. Dang even took the wood carvings from Wang Zhong's hands and started playing with them admiringly.
Although Mu Sui looked like Er Niang, but the child didn’t have a mirror to look at, so he didn’t know what he looked like. He just thought Wang Zhongduo’s doll with a big head that resembled a cartoon image was so cute, and the child immediately fell in love with it. The girl's heart was captured.
The three of them walked into the main room. Wang Zhong held his niece and sat at the square table in the middle of the main room. Mrs. Li put the bamboo basket Wang Zhong carried back on the long eucalyptus wall and was about to take the clothes she had changed inside. I came out to wash, but I didn't want to take out two pieces of clothes. When I saw what was placed under the clothes, I almost couldn't hold back a scream, but luckily I covered my mouth as soon as possible.
After taking a few breaths, Li's breathing became rapid. She immediately turned to look at Wang Zhong, who was sitting on a stool next to him and teasing his daughter. The shock in his eyes had not dissipated.
"Uncle, this?"
"In addition to the copper coins on top, there are also some silver ingots at the bottom. My sister-in-law will order some first and then put them away." Mrs. Li was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then she realized what she was doing. She looked at the bamboo basket in front of her, her beautiful eyes widening. Zhong Man was shocked.
Not everything in the bamboo basket is... Mrs. Li immediately rushed to the door, stuck out her head and looked around cautiously for a while, then immediately closed the door, and then carried the heavy bamboo basket into the west room. .
Then he dumped everything in the bamboo basket onto the bed. In addition to the dozens of copper coins outside, there were also about a dozen silver ingots, all in pieces of twelve. Adding them all up, there were almost two hundred. Through.
Although the Song Dynasty where Wang Zhong lived has the same name as the Song Dynasty in history textbooks, they are fundamentally different. The founder of the country was still Zhao Kuangyin, and the second emperor was Taizu's brother Taizong. However, during the third generation of Zhenzong, the emperor It returned to the hands of Taizu Zhao Kuangyin.
Today's official surname is Zhao Mingyi, who is famous for his benevolence and is quite popular. The currency circulating in the market during the Song Dynasty was mainly copper coins, supplemented by gold and silver. Hard currencies such as silk, cloth and grain could also be used to offset the money.
Mrs. Li hurriedly closed the door, untied the curtains, hid on the bed and counted them one by one.
"Sister-in-law! I'll take Sister Qian out for a walk!"
"Come back early!" On normal days, Li might have been tactful with Wang Zhong, but with such a large basket of money in front of her, Li might have thought of anything else.
More than half an hour later, Ms. Li carefully closed the wooden box and added a lock. Her hanging heart was relieved. Looking at the inconspicuous elm box, Mrs. Li's pretty face couldn't help but feel a little smile. Hongxia showed a knowing smile.
Li counted the two sides and found that there were sixteen silver ingots, totaling one hundred and sixty pieces, and thirty-three copper coins. According to the market price, one tael of silver was worth one copper coin. The total added up to one hundred and ninety-three copper coins.
But in fact, because the amount of silver circulating on the market is relatively small, and silver is precious and copper is cheap, the actual value of sixteen silver ingots is far more than one hundred and sixty coins. The money Wang Zhong brought back this time is definitely worth more than Two hundred strings.
"Uncle, what do you want to eat tonight?" Mrs. Li hurriedly walked to the living room and saw her brother-in-law teasing her daughter. She hurriedly stepped forward to bring tea and water to her brother-in-law.
"Sister-in-law, I recently met some merchants from the South China Sea outside and learned how to cook a few dishes. The taste is very delicious. Sister-in-law, would you like to try it later?"
"A gentleman is far away from the kitchen, and his uncle is a scholar, how can he..."
"Sister-in-law, that's wrong!" Wang Zhong waved his hand;
"The sage said: Food and sex are also factors! The way of cooking also contains the principles of heaven. Besides, we are just an ordinary farmer's family, not one of those scholarly families, and we are not so red tape."
"Besides, the dishes are almost done!" Li finally realized that the aroma of meat was filling the air.
"It smells so good!" Li praised subconsciously.
