Jiang Tian didn't hesitate to get up hungry to look at the streets of the late Ming Dynasty, this was not because he was in high spirits or remembering the ancients, the fundamental reason that drove him to do so was that he wanted to figure out how he should live. These days, he has secretly observed that this era has changed beyond recognition, and has been completely destroyed by the guy who crossed one step ahead of him. Let's just say that the Han family is well-dressed, this came to the end of the Ming Dynasty, when the society has been opened to disdain to live a step-by-step life, all kinds of strange costumes are also endless, that is, those Confucian scholars are also proud of being unconventional, but in the years when the land was lost, a paper shaving order aroused national feelings, and how many people who are unwilling to follow the thief would rather sacrifice their lives to maintain Chinese orthodoxy. However, after hearing about this, the generalissimo who ruled the world and the current emperor, His Majesty, waved his sword in front of the three armies and cut his long hair and made a solemn oath: If you don't sweep away the six and wash the shame of the Snow Country, your hair will not stop!

What a heroic oath, the soldiers are all enthusiastic and sacrifice themselves to kill the thief. In the eyes of the traverser Jiang Tian has a different view on this big play, first of all, it is certain that the other party is also a traverser, so in his eyes, the punishment is just a habit of life that will often be done in the future, and in three hundred years, except for some guys who want to show their artistic style or use their hair to cover their ugliness, no man wants to have long hair. At the same time, the father who never died in the family also said that short hair is convenient for battlefield treatment, and you said that this side of the car was beaten to the point that his head was broken and he still had long flowing hair...... Isn't that waiting for it to fester? So a scene beyond the times appeared, the generals under the generalissimo all had the ambition of recovering the country in the Ming Dynasty, so the Ming Dynasty privately called this army the short-haired army, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty was simple and concise with two words - ghost!

The ancients said: Those who want the same up and down win. It seems to confirm this sentence, in the next few years, this army has few defeats, and gradually stood out among the warlords in the late Ming Dynasty by virtue of the identity of the imperial prince, and jumped to the largest military group in one fell swoop. At this time, someone built a house to save hair, but he was rejected by the marshal: the thief ran into the wasteland and his ambition did not die, how could he win lightly!

This performance continued until he ascended the throne, and as the king of a country, he still did not forget to crusade against his old enemies, which made the market imitate the behavior that was sought after by young people for a while. Therefore, Jiang Tian can often see ordinary people with short hair without a square scarf, and he was also tempted to cut off these three thousand troubles, but then he pondered that there was no haircutting industry at all these days, and if it was really trimmed like the revolutionaries in the late Qing Dynasty, it would not be good to see where it went. So this idea is temporarily abandoned, and the rest of the matter is how to find yourself a job as much as possible, so as to get rid of the embarrassing identity you are now. Ever since he was able to move his feet, there was a disdain in the words of the servants around him. Think about it, according to the standards of this era, if you don't quit immediately after being rescued, at least you have to do some work within your ability as a reward, but now I not only have no work to do, but I have to save money for my benefactor's meals every day, not to mention that his self-esteem as a talent does not allow it, even according to the standards of later generations, it is shameless enough.

"Miss Xiyun, don't shrink your food for me if you work hard every day, how can you bear it in the future......" No matter what Jiang Tian said, this girl named Xiyun didn't say a word, just pushed the shabby meal in front of him and ran away without a trace, every time Jiang Tian had a warm feeling that he couldn't advance or retreat: "Alas...... It is said that people's hearts are not ancient, and today we know that the sincerity of the ancients is difficult to change. ”

After all, I still can't swallow this sour food, not because of the sour taste but because of the bitterness in my heart, why can the seniors who sit on the Jinluan Hall be reborn into the home of the generals? I was also born in a military household, but the difference in this situation is too big, even if you are a nerd, you must at least live in a normal world, such as today's Taiping Confucianism has suffered a blow, and the show talent set by the former Ming Dynasty can't see a grain of rice, and if you want to take the test for fame and career, it is hopeless to rely on your own ink. There is no chance of rebellion except for the constant guarding against aliens on the border, so do you deserve to live like this? In fact, there is another choice, that is, to return to his hometown to be a small landlord in a proper manner, but even if he wants to go back, he must first make up enough entanglement.

"Yo yo yo ......" A middle-aged woman with flowers and branches looked Jiang Tian up and down: "I see that you are also a scholar, and this cheek is first-class thick." ”

Jiang Tian knew that the person in front of him could not be offended, the old bustard who leaned on the Red Mansion was a notoriously snobbish eye, and he didn't know how she could endure staying for such a long time, he was sure that he was already at the limit of patience at this moment. In fact, he really wanted to turn around and leave, but he thought that he had no place to live and was not fully healthy, so he still couldn't avoid death when he walked out like this, and he couldn't help but feel a little unwilling in his heart.

In order to survive, he could only endure the anger for a while at this time, so he hugged his fists and bent down slightly: "What my mother said is that I feel ashamed in the next place, how can I have a cheeky face for a while because my legs and feet are inconvenient, and I have to be cheeky for a while, and when I find a good life, thank you for your generosity." ”

"See." The old bustard circled around him twice: "This scholar speaks well, no matter how good it sounds, it can't be used as silver, how much does a big living person like you eat and drink every day?" The house money for these days is settled, I'm afraid you can't afford to pay back the food money even if you find a sour ding, forget it, my lord has a lot of you, if you get out now, I just feed a wild dog in the past two days. ”

In the laughter of the onlookers, Jiang Tian stood expressionlessly, thinking that the person who had died once had underestimated many things, and he was still angry with this snob. The calmer his expression is, the more it proves that the anger in his heart has reached the verge of exploding, his body is not moving, but his eyes are wandering, he is looking for something that can be used as a murder weapon, even if he dies again, he will pull you as a cushion. Just when he was about to break out at any time, he accidentally found Xi Yun, who was hiding in the corner and staring at him nervously, full of anger and disappeared without a trace. And he didn't seem to notice how much pressure the other party was under to save a stranger.

Jiang Tian slowly turned his body to face the bustard's mother, this time he solemnly waved at the other party: "Mother Chen, I understand what you want to say, after these days, I came to drive me to walk in the next to accept your love, but before leaving, I want to make it clear that it is Miss Xiyun who has the grace of my life, and I will definitely repay this kindness, if I am bullied before I come back to pick her up, I will never give up!" ”

Not to mention the servants watching the excitement, even the old bustard, who is used to seeing big scenes, was stunned for a while. can only watch the thin Xiucai go away like this, Jiang Tianyuan is also the son of an officer, plus the arrogance of a scholar, after all, he is different from the marketplace in temperament, and besides, his words implied that he wanted to redeem himself for Xi Yun, and he was definitely a person who valued love and righteousness at the point of repaying his kindness, don't look at him now that he is penniless, who dares to guarantee that he will not soar in the future, don't look at the sage books who are not popular now, but after all, he is still a cultural person, much more advanced than many people who are illiterate here, So it's reasonable to be intimidated.

Righteous walked out of the back door, but Jiang Tian had to look up to the sky and sigh, ruthlessly said how to achieve this promise, even if Xiyun is not a dusty woman, the old bustard will not let people redeem himself lightly, it is certain to blackmail himself at that time, and what is more terrible is how to live now. Suddenly he heard the door behind him ring, and when he looked back, he saw that Xi Yun was leaning out half of his body, and then he walked out after confirming that there was no one around.

As soon as she wanted to speak, Jiang Tian didn't give her this opportunity to speak first: "Thank you girl for taking care of me these days, I'm really ashamed that I can't take care of your difficulties." ”

The little girl shook her head, but handed over another dark steamed bun. Looking at this steamed bun, Jiang Tian had mixed feelings in her heart, she was afraid that she would starve to death on the street again. Thinking of this, he stretched out his hand, not to pick up the steamed buns, but to hold the other party's hand and said solemnly: "Wait for me, I must let you get out of here!" ”

After saying that, he left without hesitation, leaving only a little girl standing there in a daze.

There is also a limit to being handsome, Jiang Tian deeply realized what it means to be self-inflicted, wandering around Beijing aimlessly for a day, not to mention work, and no one even gave a bowl of gruel. In this 300-year-old Beijing city, he was completely lost, and he couldn't rely on the road signs to identify his location, the Forbidden City and other places could not be approached casually, Shichahai was not open to the public, even if he wanted to find a train station bench to sleep on for a night, there was no possibility. Beijing City should be prosperous and lively at the foot of the Son of Heaven, but the bustling streets are no longer the grand scene of the past, Jiang Tian guessed that this was caused by the war, Li Zicheng, the Manchu Qing Dynasty and then the current emperor, after several battles can still maintain the basic order is rare. It is said that after this chaos, there is a lack of labor, and there will be no shortage of work for his five-foot-plus body, right? But looking for it, people either thought he was too thin or saw that the road was not right and did not dare to take him in, and after a few tosses, he returned to the Dengcao Hutong where the red building was located. Of course, he didn't know what the name of this place was, and he didn't know where the official prostitutes of the Ming Dynasty were located here, but he just glanced at the pavilion where the sound of silk and bamboo came from the sunset, and couldn't help but sigh.

"It looks like I'm not going to be able to keep my promises...... Even if you die, you have to give an explanation. I caught a glimpse of a deserted teahouse on the corner of the street, and I didn't see the signboard when I was hungry, but I felt that there were few customers here, so I walked in, and when I saw the old man standing at the counter, he said respectfully: "This old man doesn't know if he can make it convenient?" ”

The old man looked him up and down, and returned with his fists clenched: "Childe doesn't know what to say?" ”

Jiang Tian told his experience intermittently, but he hid his identity and promise to the girl: "It seems that there is no place in this world, and I have no intention of nostalgia for Hongchen, I just ask if my husband can promise me one thing." ”

"Childe, please speak."

Jiang Tian didn't see the expression of the old man on the other side, in fact, even if he saw it, he probably didn't care: "It's not a pity for me to die, but I can't repay my benefactor." I beg my husband to wait for me to dispose of the body after I kill myself, and only tear off this neat clothes and sell them, and hand them over to Miss Xiyun is my little heart. ”

The old man took advantage of the afterglow of the sunset to take another look, and saw that Jiang Tian's face was sincere and did not look like he was talking nonsense, so he slowly took a breath: "Childe, the big truth is not understood, how can a living person talk about life and death lightly!" I don't think it's as good as this, how about living in the backyard if you don't like it? It just so happens that I, a young man, is short of some heavy work, and I have the right to be your food and lodging fund, I don't know what you think? ”

The teahouse owner's construction is tantamount to the sound of heaven in Jiang Tian's ears, so what is there to be dissatisfied with being able to survive in a desperate situation? He didn't know that this was a temptation of the other party, the scholars of all dynasties regarded themselves as saints and disciples, and looked down on the working people the most, and it was the only way to advance to the Ming Dynasty to gain fame. To be able to live to an age, to see the ever-changing flags at the head of Beijing, this old man has long seen through the red dust, he used the "humiliating" construction yì to test the other party, just to know if this person has the value of saving, if it is the kind of nerd who can't teach how to understand, he will naturally fulfill the stupidity of the other party. Seeing that Jiang Tian agreed without hesitation, he had a bottom in his heart: This kid at least knows that it is better to die than to live, and it depends on what happens to you in the future.
