Chapter 4: The Iron Bones and the Willows are Young

Liu Mingzhi held a history book in his hand and looked at it, while touching his chin and muttering: "What kind of dynasty is the Great Dragon Dynasty?" Did the Great Dragon Dynasty exist in Chinese history? ”

The history books are recorded in great detail, from the Qin Emperor Han Wu to the Wei and Jin dynasties and the Northern and Southern Dynasties are still quite familiar, but from the Sui and Tang dynasties after the beginning of the dynasty there is no one, after the Jin Dynasty, the government is unstable, wars are everywhere, the princes are divided, the Dragon Kingdom Taizu Li Yuanmin was born, quelled all kinds of rebellions in the Jin Dynasty, and deterred the grassland tribes to establish the Great Dragon Dynasty, which has been more than 600 years ago.

The Great Dragon Dynasty was born out of thin air, and the founding of the country for more than 600 years, the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties naturally did not exist. Liu Mingzhi couldn't help but think to himself.

"In the twenty-sixth year of Xuande, which emperor's era name is Xuande?"

Liu Mingzhi, who took the history book and watched it until he fell asleep on the desk, didn't figure out what kind of world it was in the end, and when he woke up, it was already sunday.

"No one came to disturb me, didn't the girl already wake me up early in this situation? It's a strange thing. ”

Liu Mingzhi has been coming to the Great Dragon Dynasty for more than ten days, every morning the sky just shows a glimmer of light in the east, and the maid Xiaoying, who is waiting for his own life, will knock on his door on time to wake himself up and read.

Originally, I thought that in the future, I don't have to suffer for my livelihood, I can buy two buns on the street at once, eat one and eat another, and starve others to death, and I can buy two bowls of soy milk at once, drink one bowl and drink another, and envy others to death.

However, the imaginary world is always ruthlessly broken by reality, the buns are gone, the soy milk is gone, and even the gate of Liufu can't get out, Liu Mingzhi was completely imprisoned by Lao Tzu Liu Zhi'an. Liu Mingzhi, who has become Liu Mingzhi, has lived in this world for more than ten days and has never even gone out of the gate of Liufu, and he has never seen anything on the streets of Jinling, can you believe it?

Liu Mingzhi also wanted to sneak out to play a joke, but since Liu Mingzhi had the scandal of the Yanyu Pavilion, Liu Zhian has strengthened the vigilance of the Liu Mansion, preventing the eldest son from going out to cause trouble again.

Is there a place to go out? Of course, in a place as big as Liufu, it is impossible for all places to be guarded by people, for example, the dog hole next to the backyard can be drilled out the size of an adult, Liu Mingzhi squatted next to the dog hole and studied it for a few days, but he just couldn't get out of it, and the wall became a moat that hindered Liu Mingzhi's vision of the outside world.

As for being able to sleep until the sun rises today, Xiaoying's girl didn't bother herself, completely because Liu Mingzhi looked through the history books last night, and I didn't know that I saw that in the second half of the night, the servant who was in charge of the lamp outside the door reported to Liu Zhi'an early, and Liu Zhi'an was pleased that his son would also pick up the lamp and study hard, so he was extra kind and allowed Liu Mingzhi to sleep lazy.

Xiao Ying was waiting outside the door and seemed to hear the footsteps of Liu Mingzhi's activities in the house, and knocked on the door gently: "Young master, have you already gotten up?" Ying'er brought the washbasin for washing, do you want the young master to wash it now. ”

Liu Mingzhi stretched out his sleep, this evil old society, although it is easy to make people lazy, it is cool.

"Come on in, just put the basin on the changing rack."

Xiao Ying heard the greeting of her young master, gently pushed open the door and walked in with a basin of water, and hurriedly turned around with a loud cry: "Ah, young master, you get up and don't wear clothes." The delicate little face was dyed with a layer of red.

Liu Mingzhi looked at his body when he heard this, where were the pants worn, and where were the shoes worn, but he was naked, and he randomly approved a coat, and the ties on the clothes were not fastened, the weather in the south was not so cold, and he already felt a trace of heat when he put on his clothes at night, and Liu Mingzhi had to untie his clothes to feel a trace of coolness.

After putting on the clothes on his body, Liu Mingzhi walked behind the little warbler on his back: "Little girl, what do you care about so much about a little child, the young master obviously didn't put on his clothes well, how did it become unclothed in your mouth, you must know that if you don't say it right, it will kill people." ”

Ying'er turned to look at Liu Mingzhi, who was dressed up, and breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and pouted: "Young master, you are a scoundrel, where is Ying'er small?" After speaking, he straightened up his small breasts, which had been slightly raised, and they were already quite large-scale under the backdrop of the close-fitting little green clothes, and the girl's breath came to him, which made Liu Mingzhi a little stunned.

Xiao Ying saw Liu Mingzhi, who was staring at his chest motionless, his eyes were a little proud, and then his pretty face turned even redder, and he didn't dare to stay under the burning eyes of his young master for a long time, so he put the basin in his hand on the washing rack.

Liu Mingzhi came back to his senses and secretly scolded himself for being extremely shameless, Xiao Ying, this girl is only sixteen years old, how could she have such a thought, looking at the little girl who was waiting for her to freshen up, she was a little embarrassed, laughed twice, and washed herself.

Xiao Ying looked at Liu Mingzhi who was quietly washing his face, and there was still a curious look in his little eyes, the sisters outside said that the young master did all kinds of evil, molested the women of the good family, kicked through the door of the widow's house, snatched the snacks of the children, and harmed many young ladies in the house, but I don't look like it at all, in the past ten days, the young master has not been as bad as he said, except that he doesn't like to wear clothes.

When she first heard that Mrs. arranged her clothes for the innocent gentleman Liu Mingzhi, Ying'er already had the mentality of dying Mingzhi, if the eldest prince was really careless about himself and wanted to ruin his innocence, he would die to show him and protect his innocence.

However, something that made Ying'er puzzled happened, Liu Mingzhi except for occasionally teasing himself slightly, for example, when Liu Mingzhi first met, Liu Mingzhi looked at Ying'er, who was too timid to look up at people, and said viciously: "This is the new bed warmer that the old man chose for the master?" Don't know how long you can last? ”

When she heard this sentence at that time, Xiao Ying's face turned pale with fright, her petite body trembled slightly, and she said secretly: "It's over, it's over, this heinous villain eldest young master is really going to treat me like Sister Cui said." ”

"Hey, little girl, what are you stunned about? Didn't you see that I had finished washing, young master? Why don't you take the basin out and wait for me to come? Liu Mingzhi looked at the stunned little warbler and smiled a little, disturbing the maid who was deep in thought.

Xiao Ying suddenly came back to her senses: "Ah,,,,,, good... Good. ”

In the main hall of the Liu family, the family was eating pastries, especially Liu Mingzhi, who was like a starving ghost without grace, constantly stuffing food into his mouth.

Liu Zhian looked at the appearance of his eldest son with disgust, his face changed and changed, and finally he endured it, and kept telling himself in his heart that this was his own species, his enemy in his previous life, and he couldn't be killed, he couldn't be killed.

"Mingzhi, tomorrow you will go to Dangyang Academy to study."

Liu Mingzhi's movements stopped, and he looked at his Lao Tzu blankly: "Reading? Why? What books do you read? ”

Liu Zhian stared at the eldest son with a confused face, and said viciously: "There is still half a year before the autumn season begins, if you don't come back with a reputation for Lao Tzu in this state test, I will definitely stuff your kid back into his mother's womb and rebuild." ”

Liu Mingzhi didn't notice that the pastry in his hand had fallen: "Old man, are you really playing?" ”

Liu Zhian glared at his eldest son: "Do you think Lao Tzu is joking?" Lao Tzu does what he says, when the time comes, you won't be able to raise people's fame, you will have to shed your skin if you don't die, you can try. ”

"Goo." Liu Mingzhi swallowed and foamed: "No, didn't you say that the children of Shangjia are not allowed to participate in the imperial examination?" ”

"After the founding of Taizu, the northern attack on the grassland harassed the alliance of various ethnic groups in my border areas, but the perennial war, the treasury became increasingly empty, and the grain and grass for the army were gradually unable to be provided, so Taizu was besieged in the border Yingzhou City, and later the prime minister at that time wrote to Emperor Taizu that he could collect grain and grass from the surrounding squires and wealthy merchants."

"And then? What does this have to do with the participation of the children of merchants in the imperial examinations? ”

"Taizu is born in a poor family, sympathetic to the people, naturally understand the truth that water can carry a boat and can overturn a boat, can not for no reason to the squire rich businessmen to collect the grain and grass needed by the army, since ancient times, the status of farmers and businessmen, merchants is the most humble, so Taizu ordered, but if you donate a certain amount of silver taels to the imperial court, you can allow your descendants to participate in the imperial examination to gain fame."

"Old man, how much did you donate?"

Liu Zhian said nonchalantly: "Fifty thousand taels." ”

Liu Mingzhi's eyes turned into copper coins: "How much does that have to be?" ”

"So, you also know that it's a lot of money, and this time you failed Lao Tzu's 50,000 taels, Lao Tzu ...... Lao Tzu is crazy and scared himself, you weigh Lao Tzu carefully. ”

"Goo." Liu Mingzhi cautiously asked, "Old man, what am I doing to be famous?" We don't lack anything. ”

"Of course, the purpose of gaining fame is to become an official."

"So what is the purpose of being an official?"

"Of course, being an official is to collect ....... Uh-huh... Face.... There is light on the face, and the ancestors are glorious. ”

"Really?"

"Of course not, of course, being an official is to serve the court, be good at shepherding the people, open the world for the court, and keep peace for the saint."

"Then I don't go to study, I eat and drink well, I have endless money to spend, I can't finish drinking, why do I want to take the exam to gain fame, I won't go to such a thankless thing."

"Rebel, are you really not going?"

Liu Mingzhi nodded resolutely, and said resolutely: "Don't go, say nothing and don't go, I, Liu Mingzhi, as the children and grandchildren of the Liu family, are born with iron bones, and I will never be succumbed to power, even if you put the knife on my neck, I won't go, and I won't go to death." ”

Liu Zhian stood up and said to Liu Yuan, the housekeeper on the side, "Liu Yuan, ask me for a training stick." ”

"Wait, Uncle Liu is leading the horse."
