Chapter 001: Under the Fence!
The spring is splendid, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and the river flowers are red.
The endless meadows are full of flowers, full of life.
Lu Zheng sat on the rosewood chair, looking sluggish, looking at the beautiful scenery under the mountain in a daze. The breeze and mist under the mountain, the ancient stone wall, the deep alleys are like a chessboard, under the twilight, the green smoke is swirling and rising, the weeping willows on the shore of the Slender West Lake are green, the painting workshop is light on the lake, and the hundreds of boats shuttle, which is a good picture of the grand scenery of the south of the Yangtze River.
In the eighteenth year of Dakang Xinde, Yangzhou Road in Zhili Province was changed to Huaihai Mansion, and the name was changed to Yangzhou Mansion.
"Dakang? The Three Kingdoms returned to the Han Dynasty, there were two Jin Dynasty, but after the Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen, the Sui and Tang Dynasties were not seen, and history embarked on another fork in the road? Lu Zheng muttered softly.
"Third Young Master, it's not too early, the spring is cold and the dew is heavy, it's time for us to go down the mountain!" Your body can't stand the cold! Behind Lu Zheng, there was a burly man, wearing a cyan cardigan short coat, with a square face and a wide mouth, thick eyebrows and tiger eyes, aged about thirty, and he was very respectful to Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng nodded slightly, stood up from the chair and didn't speak, and paced down the mountain directly, the middle-aged man followed him respectfully, with a sad look on his face, and wanted to speak several times but stopped talking.
The mountain that Lu Zheng climbed is a viewing mountain placed in a huge garden, and this large garden is placed in a huge mansion. Looking at the surroundings again, the flowers and trees are lush and lush, and the luxury and prosperity are breathtaking.
This is the Jiangnan Wang family, the richest man in Yangzhou, and the residence of the imperial merchant Zhang. Although the Zhang family is an imperial businessman, it is also a family of poetry hairpins, the ancestor of the Zhang family Zhang Jian because of the meritorious service of assisting Taizu, Taizu gave the title of a product of Weiwubo, Zhang Jian's son Zhang Yu attacked the second rank of the Weilie general, Zhang Jian's grandson Zhang Lang attacked the third grade of the general of Fengguo.
Now the Zhang family advocates that Rong is the fourth grandson of Zhang Jian, although he does not have a title, but he has a meritorious name, and he was born as a Jinshi, and he once worshipped Shaoqing of Dali Temple, which can be described as a high authority. Zhang Rong gave birth to three sons and two daughters, and now the three rooms of Yangzhou Zhangfu are all descendants of Zhang Rong's lineage.
The Zhang family's huge rich family is naturally extraordinary, although the mansion is wide, but the maids and servants shuttle back and forth, and there is no depression and coldness.
The maids and servants of large families are different from ordinary people, the girls wear red and green one by one, warblers and swallows, embroidered ribbons in the garden, and willow fragrance, which is really dizzying.
"Hehe, sisters, is that the third master of the Lu family? Tsk, tsk, how do I look like I'm a half-sized kid? Look at his little arms and legs, I'm afraid that if a gust of wind blows, it will blow to the sky! ”
"Isn't that the master? This master since the door of our Zhang family, then fell into the evil, crazy, the eldest grandmother, the second grandmother they sent people to seek the monk, toss do not know how much effort to rectify the good, a few days ago has been nesting in the West Corner Courtyard, today one actually came out to climb the mountain to watch the scenery, this disease is a great cure. ”
"What's the use of being cured? This third master came to Yangzhou from Jiangning, saying that he was here to live in school, but the eldest lady asked him, saying that he couldn't even read "Thousand Words" smoothly, thinking that the Lu family is also the home of Zhong Ming Dingshi, the family of the Three Princes, how stubborn does this master have to be to get into such a situation?
Our Zhang family is not as good as the Lu family, but even if the masters are stubborn, they are not as good as the third master of the Lu family, and the master of the Lu family is ......."
"A few of you don't come and go, this Lu San is also called a master in our house, isn't it a concubine born to the second room maid of the Lu family? In the Lu family, I don't know the height of my eyebrows, but I just competed with the second master of the Lu family, and the elders and young are gone, so is this worth it? My aunt and grandmother were so angry, didn't she send it over? said that he came to live in school, but in fact, he also hoped that the lords and wives in the family could be more disciplined.
The eldest lady has already spread the word, let us people not get used to it, people are already stinky, and they are used to letting them make their temperament, isn't that not going to get along with our aunt and grandmother? Sisters, don't you say? ”
……
The men and women in the courtyard gathered together, all pointing at Lu Zheng, and their mouths were chattering and discussing, while Lu Zheng looked calm, unhurried, and returned to the west corner courtyard of the Zhang family according to his memory.
The courtyard is only a few rocks, the plantains have withered, and there are a few mottled and sloppy bird cages hanging in the corridors on both sides, and the smell of bird feces is smoky. The three hugging buildings above, the mottled carvings of one color, there is a plaque hanging on it, there is only one "West" word left on the plaque, and the other words have already peeled off, and the vicissitudes of decadence can not be said.
The standard configuration of the young master's residence of the Zhang family is four to eight maids, two mothers-in-law and a wet nurse, Lu Zheng has only one old woman waiting for him, the old thing is old, dazzling and deaf, but his temper is still very big, and he scolds at every turn, fortunately, Lu Zheng and the burly man Qi Biao brought from the Lu family, otherwise he would starve to death.
The courtyard was deserted, Qi Biao entered the room to clean up the bed and chairs, and carefully helped Lu Zheng to sit on the soft collapse, and after Lu Zheng lay down and sat down, he put a plush blanket on Lu Zheng's body, and then poured water and tea, took snacks, and went to the kitchen to get food, and he was very busy.
Lu Zheng looked at Qi Biao, who was busy, and couldn't help but feel sour in his heart, and tears almost fell.
Yes, Lu Zheng had just come to his senses, and a serious illness almost killed him.
In fact, the previous Lu Zheng is indeed dead, although the current Lu Zheng has the same name and appearance as before, but he is not actually from this world.
Lu Zheng was a soldier on the earth, a bold and righteous person, a talent, and was valued by leaders in the army, and he was very accomplished. However, after transferring from the army, as a director-level official, because of his too rigid personality, he offended his colleagues and superiors, was targeted and excluded at work, and his career and life were depressed.
He wanted to end his life, but when he woke up, he found himself in another world.
In this world, his name is still Lu Zheng, but he is only fourteen years old, thin and frail.
By digesting the original memories of the body in the past few days, Lu Zheng has a deep sympathy for the original owner of the body.
Lu Zheng was born in the Lu family in Jiangning, and is the second concubine of the Lu family, although he was born in a wealthy family, he is a concubine, and his biological mother is a maid, and her status is very low.
According to the ancient rules, the mother-in-law is the mother, and Lu Zheng can only call his own mother his aunt and the main mother his mother.
Yangzhou Mansion Zhang is Lu Zheng's mother's maiden family, and several of Zhang's masters are Lu Zheng's nominal uncles, but in fact, they are not related by blood. Lu Zheng lives in Zhang's house in such an identity, and his situation can be imagined.
Lu Zheng stayed in the Lu family, and the housewife Zhang didn't like him, but because of the dignity of the Lu family's wealthy family, if she was too much to Lu Zheng, I was afraid that she would fall into a handle that couldn't accommodate the concubine, and the housewife of a big family couldn't tolerate the concubine, which was very criticized.
Therefore, Mrs. Zhang thought of a desperate idea, and sent him to her mother's Zhang Mansion in the name of arranging for Lu Zheng to come to Yangzhou Mansion to enroll, and the purpose behind this arrangement is self-evident. Some time ago, Lu Zheng got madness, and I don't know how many dirty secrets there are behind this serious illness.
It is no exaggeration to say that Lu Zheng's current situation is like a lonely boat drifting on the sea, which may be capsized by the wind and waves at any time.
Qi Biao prepared the meal properly, but it was just some tofu and vegetables, brown rice and bran, Lu Zheng had no appetite after eating a little, he put down his chopsticks and lay down again, his stomach was very uncomfortable with hunger.
The hunger was unbearable, and a thought instantly sprung up in Lu Zheng's heart: "In the past life and this life, don't you have to raise your eyebrows?" God asked me to live again, can't I turn things around and live him vigorously? ”
As soon as he thought of this, a wave of pride and fighting spirit suddenly rose in his heart, and he only felt that there was a hot blood rising in his lower abdomen and rushing to the top of his head, and he felt that his body and bones seemed to be all right.
He glanced at Qi Biao, who was busy cleaning up, and suddenly sat up from the chair and said, "Uncle, we will never eat this brown rice bran again in the future, okay?" ”
"Ah......" The broom in Qi Biao's hand, who was busy with his work, fell to the ground with a "bang".
He walked quickly to Lu Zheng's side, and his eyes burst into tears: "My third young master, you can speak!" You have been sick for more than half a month, and after you woke up, you were stupid all day long, and the little one thought you were ...... You ......"
He wiped a handful of tears, choked up in a choked tone, and said, "If you have something long and short, I ...... How do I go back and explain to the old man and the grandmother of the moon! ”
Qi Biao is really crying, Lu Zheng and him are called master servants, in fact, he is Lu Zheng's blood uncle, Lu Zheng's biological mother Aunt Qi and he are both sons of the family, and the two are sisters and brothers. It's just that the son of the family is a slave after all, and Lu Zheng can't even call his biological mother his mother, how can Qi Biao, the uncle, be serious?
This time Lu Zheng came to Yangzhou from Jiangning, Aunt Qi couldn't stop it, so she could only cry and ask her younger brother to follow Lu Zheng over, and it was also a shame to have this arrangement, otherwise Lu Zheng wouldn't be able to get sick, I'm afraid he would starve to death and die.
"Uncle, let's go, let's go out and play again, bring enough money, there is a saying that 'the world is divided into three bright moonlit nights, and two scoundrels are in Yangzhou', when you arrive at Yangzhou Mansion, how can you not watch the night view of Yangzhou?
After Lu Zheng finished speaking, he stood up, flicked his sleeves and turned around to go out, Qi Biao was stunned for a long time, and suddenly his face changed greatly: "Third Young Master, you wait for me, where is the money, that ......"
Before he could say anything more, Lu Zheng had already run away without a trace.
