Next Chapter

More than 20 years ago, due to the ignorance of the first emperor, Nanhao was defeated in Tumubao because of the ignorance of the first emperor and the favored eunuch Wang Zhen, and the vitality of Nanhao was greatly damaged.

King Xingyu was ordered to ascend the throne as the emperor and was named Emperor Jing. He reused the virtuous ministers, fought with Wara, and finally won the victory and kept the foundation of the Hao country.

Haoshi said that the defense of the Beijing Division.

However, after the return of the British Emperor, the two emperors will fight each other, and one will die.

In the end, Emperor Jing died, the British Emperor was restored, and Shi Song, the Marquis of Wuqing, was established as the prime minister. Because of the bewitchment of the traitorous ministers, he later killed the "anti-thief" in Wencheng Street, Jingshi, and the fire was several days, and the sorrow was to the sky.

A few years later, the crown prince ascended the throne, and Yu Kangzhi, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, was the left minister, and the two sides stood together. There is also a procuratorate to carry out the responsibility of brocade clothes and guards. Since then, Haoguo has returned to peace, the court is stable, the country is healthy, and the national strength is getting stronger and stronger.

Later, he marched north to Warat and drove it out of the Central Plains. Since then, Nanhao, Xiliang, and Northern Tatar have formed a tripartite confrontation situation, and the war has stopped.

……

A few years later, in the south of Haoguo, in the small city of Suzhou, in the mansion of the Chu family.

Fire, fire everywhere. In the sea of fire, the shouts of killing, begging for mercy, and screams were woven into pieces, and the noisy sound made the brain seem to want to crack, and suddenly a huge pillar of fire fell, and the fire in the pupils was getting closer and closer.

In the study of the Chu family, a young man slowly raised his head from the desk, revealing a handsome face, rubbing his aching forehead with one hand, and muttering to himself: "It's this dream again." ”

It's this dream that has haunted him for sixteen years, and for sixteen years, it's the same scene every time, to be honest, he's used to it, but the appearance of this dream bothers him a lot.

Although he knew a little from the various dream fragments, he had no clue at all about what he saw in the dream, and he thought about finding the truth of this dream, but every time he returned in vain. However, recently, he always felt that the truth of this dream was approaching him step by step, forcing him to uncover everything, and he always felt that it was all related to the plans of those people back then.

"Whew". The boy picked up the teacup and was about to drink it when he suddenly felt movement outside the window.

The corners of the boy's mouth lifted, he flipped over the desk, and rushed out the door. Looking around, there was no one else.

Shaking his head, the young man pinched his eyebrows, walked back to the room, and began to dry up the scattered papers on the wooden table.

Li Xiao.

These are the two words on the table, and they are also the name of the teenager.

If you want to say why the young master of the Chu family is surnamed Li, this is interesting.

Sixteen years ago, he came to this world, and the first thing he saw was that the man in black held him and sent him to the medicine house, at first he thought that he was going to live in the mountains and rivers for a lifetime, and he couldn't help but be excited, but the next day a carriage came to pick him up with the old man in the medicine house.

The old man didn't stay long, and after teaching himself medical skills and giving him a few medical books, he disappeared, and as for himself, he was directly accepted as a righteous son by the master of the Chu Mansion and became a rich son.

Walking out the door, looking at the familiar scenery in the courtyard, and then looking at the sun hanging in the sky, everything was very real.

After being reborn, Li Xiao did not reject this strange world, in fact, Li Xiao thought that after that car accident, this world was equivalent to giving him a second life, but in fact, after sixteen years, he always felt that there was still some gap between him and this world.

Sooner or later, though, you'll get used to it. He always comforted himself like that.

The new world is somewhat similar to the ancient times of Huaxia, and the text here is basically similar to the text of Li Xiao's previous life, except that there are no Li Du's poems, and there are more poems that Li Xiao has not seen. However, Li Xiao never thought of plagiarizing the works of literary masters, after all, in his original world, he also had a lot of disdain for the protagonist in the novel to be a copyist.

And in this world, he has already lived a so-called noble life that was unimaginable in his previous life, and he sells the so-called Miss Chu's personal belongings on weekdays. has made a lot of money, and he doesn't have to worry about his livelihood, so he naturally doesn't need to sell poetry to live. Although I still occasionally think of the richness of that world,

In that world, he was terminally ill and had no relatives and no reason, and there was no need for him to go back.

What's more, life has to go on, and I have to have three wives and four concubines in this world, how can I be restrained.

Just as he was thinking, there was the sound of the maid's hurried footsteps outside the door.

"Young master, young master." The maid ran into the study in a panic, looked at Li Xiao with joy, and said, "Young master, miss, I'm back." ”

"Sister is back?" As he spoke, Li Xiao put down the paper roll in his hand and quickly went out.

Miss Chu family, named Chu Xin'er, is twenty years old, since Li Xiao came to Chu Mansion when she was a child, she has been under Chu Xin'er's care, it can be said that Miss Chu is in Li Xiao's eyes, like a sister is also a mother.

Li Xiao quickly ran out of the mansion and looked at the steady carriage on the main street of Suzhou.

It was April, and Suzhou was at the turn of spring and summer. It was twilight, it was the last spring rain falling, Suzhou City, it was extremely hot, the people in the city couldn't stand the heat, they took stools and chairs one by one, leaned on the door, and the street vendors did the same, shaking the folding fan, wanting to take some wind to refresh. In the streets and alleys, the sound of children reading inarticulate and the faint sound of pounding clothes in the distance.

"Crunch."

The carriage traveled smoothly all the way, and stopped in front of the Chu Mansion in a short time.

When it stopped, the people at the door had already come over, set up the step stool, and respectfully shouted to the people in the car, "Miss." ”

After a while, I saw a skillful hand lift the curtain, and a girl bent down to appear, and then put her other hand on Xiaocui, and got out of the car.

This woman is Miss Chu Jia, the first talented woman in Suzhou City, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Its piano road is even more in the middle of the famous person in the capital, known as the north and the south. Aside from her talent, the men and boys in Suzhou City talk more about her appearance. Some people say that she looks like a fairy in the world, fairy and jade, and some people say that she is a hibiscus out of the water, slim and elegant, and some people even say that they have seen her heroic and sassy, and women do not let her eyebrows. It is rumored that there are many literati who write poems for them, and even form a support club for them, buying silk scarves used by Miss Chu's family, pen and ink everywhere.

Although it is a legend in the market, the talent of Miss Chu is enough to be seen.

"Sister." Li Xiao ran over excitedly and held Chu Xin'er's hand.

Chu Xin'er rubbed the young man's head, her face was full of gentleness, she looked at this familiar and handsome face, and said with a smile: "Why do you still look like a child, how old are you?" ”

Li Xiao just smiled and stopped talking. It's just that for some reason, he felt that Chu Xin'er's face seemed to have a faint sorrow.

"Ready for dinner?" Chu Xin'er asked the maid beside her, then pinched Li Xiao's face and said, "Dad is going out again?" ”

Li Xiao nodded, as if complaining: "Dad took Uncle Luo out more than ten days ago, they were happy by themselves, even if they didn't take me, they wouldn't let me go out." ”

"You're always thinking about playing." Chu Xin'er waved her hand and motioned for her subordinates to move the salute back to the mansion, then looked at Li Xiao and said with a smile: "Isn't it time to ask for a daughter-in-law for you?" ”

Li Xiao let go of Chu Xin'er's hand and looked at Chu Xin'er in surprise.

Finally, my sister thought of her daughter-in-law, let's add up to 26 years of vegetarian food, and we can finally open meat?

"Sister, what do I think is ......?"

Before she finished speaking, Chu Xin'er took the maid into the house, leaving Li Xiao alone in the wind.

"What, it stirred the heart, so I don't care, how can I be a sister like this." Li Xiao sat on the steps and looked at the people coming and going in front of the mansion with a decadent expression.

Speaking of this Suzhou City, Li Xiao is also strange, the place is not big, but it has always been the most famous place in Jiangnan Road.

I don't know why, there is no big official in the small city of Suzhou, and there are no people in the literary and martial arts world. In addition to the port of Suzhou, it is still a little famous, but only because it is the only abandoned port in the entire Hao country.

What's even more strange is that the big and small officials of Jiangnan Province, down to the county magistrate and county magistrate, up to the Zhizhou festival envoy, will give a big gift to their families every time they take office. And every year when it comes to the birthday of myself and my sister, there are many officials who go to the banquet, and if they can't come, they will prepare a big gift and send someone to send it.

I heard my sister say that the first owner of Chu Mansion followed Emperor Taizu to fight in the south and the north, and made great contributions to the Hao country.

When it comes, don't be a high-ranking official, only ask the emperor for a place in the remote city of Suzhou.

Maybe that's why. Li Xiao didn't want to think about it.

"Abel, give me a bunch of sugar gourds." Li Xiao called the old man who sold sugar gourds on the street and said.

The old man was a little surprised, and his hand holding the sugar gourd trembled, and he didn't react until Li Xiao screamed again.

He stepped forward and handed over a string of sugar gourds with a smile.

"Plump, sweet and delicious." Li Xiao sniffed the sugar gourd, looked at the old man who turned to leave with a smile, and said, "Why is the old man in such a hurry, I haven't given the money yet." ”

After saying that, he motioned to the subordinates behind him to pay the bill.

The old man took the money and left in a panic.

Li Xiao didn't stop him, turned around and took his personal maid back to the house.

"In the past few days, there have been more and more fresh faces in Suzhou City." Li Xiao threw the sugar gourd in his hand and said with a smile.

"Fresh faces?" The maid who followed behind tilted her head and asked, "What does the young master mean?" ”

"Why do you ask so much, you should eat and drink." Li Xiao glanced at the backyard, smiled, and said.

The little maid stuck out her tongue, and the young master was still like this, and the old hanger had an appetite. simply didn't pay attention to it, and followed Li Xiao back to the house for dinner.
