Chapter 1: A New Beginning
The continuous spring rain quietly came to the sky above the capital of the Xuanwu Empire, the spring rain as thin as a cow's hair drilled into the neck with the breeze, at this time Nangong Xue who was lying in the classroom of Beixuan Academy was awakened by the slightest coolness in the neck, she raised her head a little bored, looked at the gloomy sky, and then looked at the teacher sitting in front, this old man was talking endlessly about the history of the Xuanwu Empire, and shook his head and sighed when he talked about the places that he thought were wonderful. This is the twenty-fourth time Nangong Xue has listened to this history, and she has been able to recite this history backwards. The students below the class were like frosted eggplants, wilting one by one, staring blankly and unfocused.
Now Nangong Xue has been in this world for more than five years and May, she has begun to slowly adapt to this world, and slowly get used to the fact that there is always a fat dog like a fart behind her, and she is used to the cheap dad at home and two unreliable brothers, and an old grandfather, and she is slowly getting used to the days without a mother, Nangong Xue's mother passed away forever when she was three years old, and it has been two years now, until now Nangong Xue still misses her mother very much, Her mother had a great influence on her, her mother let her know that people in this world do not live alone, her mother taught her a lot of things, and now when she thinks about it, it feels like it all happened yesterday, and when she talks about this, her cheap father looks like he has lost his soul.
Although she lost her mother at a young age, everyone in her family made her feel that her life was fulfilling, which she had never experienced before. In the previous life, Nangong Xue was an orphan who grew up in an orphanage since she was a baby, and she didn't know what family affection was, she was withdrawn, cold, and proud like a proud swan. I only like to deal with books every day, and I became the administrator of the largest library in China as I wished, and since then the library has become her home, although I can read my favorite books every day, but over time, Nangong Xue always feels that there is something missing in life.
In the past few years, those family affections that used to be very ridiculous in her eyes turned out to be so warm, Nangong Xue laughed self-deprecatingly, turned her head to look at the yard and found that the fat dog was lying on a smooth stone basking in the sun, I don't know when the rain stopped, the warm sun showed its head, and a seven-colored rainbow hung in the light blue sky, looking at everything in front of her, Nangong Xue suddenly felt that she had missed the most beautiful thing in the world in her last life.
At this time, a rude shout interrupted Nangong Xue's thinking, and she didn't have to look back to know that it was that nasty little fart again, a half-old child pestering herself all day long, although she is also a fart child now. Nangong Xue felt very helpless, so she had to turn her head and look at the boy standing in front of her desk, this boy had sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and he was the most disgusted with the love between men and women, and he couldn't be interested in children.
"Xiaoxue, after school, I'll take you to the Song family's heroic bun shop to eat steamed buns, it is said that if you can eat the heroic buns there in one go, you will be heroes in the future!" The boy is manly, trying to show his best side in front of the person he likes, and his smart eyes are full of anticipation.
"I said Zhao Chen, you can't find something interesting, I don't want to be a hero in the future, don't drag me along." Nangong Xue looked at Zhao Chen in front of her with a little headache, because she inherited the excellent genes of her mother and that cheap father, and she was quite beautiful, although she was still a little child, she was also a beauty embryo, and she was targeted by several boys on the first day of school, and Zhao Chen was just one of them.
As soon as Nangong Xue's words fell, a discordant sneer sounded next to her: "Hmph! What is pretending, what's the big deal, Brother Twelve don't always get together with this dead girl, what's so good about her? Nangong Xue covered her forehead with a little headache, thinking that she was only a few years old and knew that she would be jealous, and this was Zhao Chen's future wife Huang Ying, she was the daughter of the general of the southwest of the town, and Zhao Chen was the twelfth prince of the current emperor.
Although it is a marriage in the abdomen, Zhao Chen is very uninterested in this Huang Ying, and usually ignores it, seeing Huang Ying speaking viciously to the person he likes, he can't help but be angry: "Who wants you to talk more, I have my own legs and want to be with whom?" After saying that, he didn't look back, and ran out angrily.
Huang Ying on the side stomped her foot hatefully and chased out with a sad face: "Wait for my twelfth brother, am I wrong?" ”
Looking at these two little enemies, Nangong Xue shook her head helplessly and began to pack her package. "Xiaoxue, the teacher is looking for you and asks you to come over." At this time, a little fat man rushed in from the door and shouted in a rough voice. This kid is the eldest son of the first imperial chef of the dynasty, inheriting all the genes of his father, and even has the performance that the blue is better than the blue, that is, he is very researched in terms of diet, and he usually has a hobby that is eating.
"Got it, I said Kong Haoyu, what are you going to eat today?" Nangong Xue is very fond of this Kong Haoyu, not for anything else, just because the things made by this kid are too delicious.
"Hey, hey! You're in for a good day, I'm going to get some dog meat to eat. Kong Haoyu whispered cautiously.
"Dog meat?" Nangong Xue frowned, turned her head to look at Ah Fei in the courtyard, and found that it was still lying there intact.
"Don't look at it, and don't eat your dog, but if you are willing to endure the pain of cutting your love, I can pay ten taels of silver, your fat meat must be very good." Looking at Ah Fei Kong Haoyu, who was basking in the sun in the yard, he seemed to see a dog meat feast, rubbing his hands with bright eyes and muttering.
"Don't even think about it, if something happens to my family, I'll cook you and eat it the next day!" Nangong Xue viciously gave Kong Haoyu a kick in the ass.
"Hey, hey! It's just talking, you go quickly. Kong Haoyu ran out with his butt covered.
"I'll wait a minute, I'm going to try your dog meat." Nangong Xue yelled at Kong Haoyu twice.
"Don't worry, I won't miss you." Kong Haoyu slipped into the woods of the academy as soon as he slipped through the smoke.
Nangong Xue hummed a little song and walked to a study with small steps, this study is where the teachers in the academy rest, and usually a few old guys like to gather here to drink tea and talk about Taoism.
As soon as Nangong Xue was about to go in, she saw an old man wandering around the house, with words in his mouth, Nangong Xue took a closer look, this was Teacher Ling Huyi. Speaking of this teacher, Nangong Xue is no stranger at all, because she already knew this teacher when she was born. Don't look at Nangong Xue is only five years old now, but the soul in her body is a twenty-four-year-old soul, although she can't show it, but in this life, when she just opened her eyes, the soul in her body has already begun to understand this world. Teacher Ling Huyi and Nangong Xue's grandfather are old friends, and they often come to Nangong Mansion to drink tea and chat. And this teacher is the first person to watch himself grow up after his own family, so Nangong Xue treats this teacher as if he were his father.
Nangong Xue just walked to the door, and she didn't have time to report. As soon as Ling Huyi turned around, he saw Nangong Xue behind him, and said happily: "Xiaoxue, you are here, come in quickly." I have something to ask you. ”
After speaking, Nangong Xue was just about to salute, and Ling Huyi added: "There are no outsiders who don't have to salute now, and you and I are not living people." The number of rites is exempt. ”
Nangong Xue nodded and walked into the house. Nangong Xue's heart was full of question marks, what happened to Teacher Ling Huyi today, he was in such a hurry, and now it seems that he should deliberately talk to himself alone. Otherwise, there wouldn't be the only teacher Ling Huyi in this room today.
Ling Huyi asked Nangong Xue to sit down, and said very seriously: "Xiaoxue, I want to verify something with you today." If there is a conflict about your private affairs, don't take it to heart. ”
Nangong Xue nodded and said, "Teacher, if you have anything you want to ask, just ask, the students will answer all questions." ”
As soon as Ling Huyi heard Nangong Xue's words, he felt a lot more relieved, because he knew that today's questioning was a bit like an interrogation. asked, "Teacher Xiaoxue wants to know if you went out five days ago?" ”
As soon as Nangong Xue heard this, her mind quickly began to analyze, "The teacher asked this way, is it possible to ask if I have come into contact with that old book, if I say it, will they be even more surprised, children who are only five years and five months old can understand so much, even if they will not regard themselves as freaks, but they will also move closer to which aspect, which will increase unnecessary trouble, I still want to enjoy the current life, I don't want to live that kind of life being studied." ”
Thinking of this, Nangong Xue decided to keep this matter hidden, her current life makes her feel very fulfilling, of course, not only fulfillment, but also that she already wants to live a life with home, relatives, and friends again.
Teacher Ling Huyi saw that Nangong Xue silently did not respond to him, a little absent-minded, paused, and asked, "Xiaoxue, are you listening?" ”
Nangong Xue came back to her senses from her thoughts, and once again quickly went over the content of the conversation in her mind, so as not to hide any loopholes, nodded and replied: "I'm listening, I went out that day." That day, I just wanted to walk around the street, and I was quite bored at home all day. ”
"Then have you ever been to Hanbo Building? It is the famous book building in our capital. Ling Huyi knew that Nangong Xue was a child who loved to read, and he often saw Nangong Xue reading silently in the study building of the academy.
"I haven't been there, I just wanted to play on the street that day, and there happened to be a temple fair that day, so I went with my personal girl. If the teacher doesn't believe it, he can ask Satsuki. Nangong Xue responded.
"That's it," Ling Huyi was a little disappointed, and then sighed in a low voice, "Alas, I wish it was Xiaoxue, that would be great." This seems to be a pity now. ”
When Nangong Xue heard the word regret, she felt a little puzzled, and she was more curious about what she had experienced five days ago. So his eyes blinked, and he asked, "Why did the teacher say regret?" ”
"Alas, since you asked, I'll tell you directly," Ling Huyi touched Nangong Xue's head and said slowly, "Hundreds of years ago, that is, in the previous dynasty, there was a very special book that was handed down, and that book recorded many profound things, it is said that if anyone understands all the books, it will be a very, very rare genius, once the things in the book are integrated, it will not only have a profound impact on the people who understand the book, but also have an impact on the person's surroundings. If this person is reused by the state, it will have an immeasurable impact on the country, and if it is used well and rightly, the country will prosper, and if it is used evil, it will destroy a country. And once the book is fully understood, the book will become like waste paper, and it will no longer be able to read it. ”
"Does anyone understand that?" Nangong Xue asked.
"As far as I know, there are people in my Xuanwu Empire who have read this book, but they don't understand much. Your grandfather is one of them, he understands forty percent, and there is a prime minister before him who understands half of it, that prime minister is now in his prime, he has retired to the imperial court, returned to his hometown, and then recuperated in his hometown, this prime minister is Yan Bowen Yan. After your grandfather, there are people who have seen it, and your father is also one of them, as far as I know, he understands Sancheng, and the others are all understanding a fur, at most Yicheng. Ling Huyi explained, "But just five days ago, someone actually understood the entire book, and it should have been fully understood, otherwise the book would not have become a waste paper and could not be studied." ”
When Ling Huyi preached that the book became dilapidated, his eyes were full of surprise and regret, if he knew that this book had been read by Nangong Xue, then his eyes would be full of joy rather than surprise.
Nangong Xue didn't ask much when she saw Ling Huyi's expression, and directly buried the matter deep in her heart. Because she still wants to be happy for a few years, and she doesn't want people to use her like a tool. Then the whole life will become extremely boring.
"Since you haven't seen that book, forget it, just because I haven't asked." Ling Huyi shook his head in disappointment.
"Teacher, do you have anything else to ask?" Nangong Xue asked.
"No, I just wanted to ask about it." Ling Huyi responded, "There's nothing else to ask, you can go back." ”
"Then the student went back." Nangong Xue said.
Ling Huyi nodded.
Watching Nangong Xue walk out of the house, Ling Huyi still didn't quite believe what he heard, and secretly thought in his heart: "How could it be, I heard from the imperial court that it was a girl, but how could I not find it in this huge capital, and Nangong Xue is the most talented child among so many students, if it weren't for her, who else would there be?" Ordinary children do not wear silk clothes, that is, the various officials in the court will have silk supplies, so it seems that someone deliberately concealed it or had other ideas. Whose child would be so hidden? ”
