Chapter 1 Tianshui Village
Xiao Xiao Gu is cold, indifferent and the autumn clouds are low. The yellow bird's wings are hanging in the rain, and the goshawk is pecking at the mud hungrily.
In Tianshui Village in October, the frost has arrived, the crops have reached the harvest season, and the tenants in the fields of Longdi are sweating like rain and full of enthusiasm.
Tianshui Village is surrounded by mountains and rivers, the scenery is beautiful, although it is located in the north, the cold weather comes earlier than the south, but it is difficult to affect the beauty of Tianshui Village in the slightest. The trees in the mountains are still lush, and the fish and shrimp in the streams are abundant. In the small courtyard of the fence, Yin Yin is verdant and green, and there are many dishes.
Two hills stand at the entrance of the east end of Tianshui Village, standing on the hill at the entrance of the village, the whole village is almost unobstructed. On the hill, three or five little dolls were in groups, playing and playing. But there is only one tiger head and tiger brain, but the child with transparent and clear eyes is slightly different.
The tenant is with the land, and so is the tenant's doll, which is wild and wild in the middle of playing, and the body is like a mud monkey. But this child is extremely clean, and this alone shows the difference.
Standing on the hill, the six or seven-year-old child sighed incessantly. lamented his bumpy fate and twists and turns in life.
If a six- or seven-year-old child makes such an exclamation, if people hear it, they will definitely laugh at it, and what they have experienced at the age of six or seven will lead to ups and downs in life.
In fact, this six- or seven-year-old little doll is not a real little child, but a real modern aspiring young man in science and engineering, graduated with a master's degree, entered the enterprise, just became the manager of the R&D department, with a salary of tens of thousands, and in a few years, he became a CEO, married Bai Fumei, and walked to the peak of life.
And his own body, his big name Li Zisheng, his nickname Li Zhuangzhuang, because he is often sick, and his parents only have such a baby bump, a Taoist priest told his parents that this body is named Zhuangzhuang. The couple also thanked this traveling Taoist priest and stuffed a lot of silver taels.
But he was still stiffened by his own Li Daitao, and this strong became his nickname.
I have been coming to this unknown place for a long time, and after chatting with these villagers and little ghosts, I know that this place is called Tianshui Village, which belongs to the boundary of Lingzhou, and now it is the Tang Dynasty, which is a dynasty with strong ink in the history of literature, and poetry is prosperous and inclusive.
When he first heard the news, Li Zisheng was happy for a long time, this Tang Dynasty is called the Li Tang Dynasty, the Li family, his surname is Li, is it not a relative of the emperor. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel hot in my heart, but after some side knocks, I put out this thought.
Standing on the top of the mountain, looking up at the night sky that has already emitted a faint starlight, Li Zisheng also sighed in his heart, but if he comes, he will be safe, although writing poetry is a bit reluctant for a science and engineering man, but in his head, because he liked petty bourgeoisie back then, he often participated in various literary meetings, cultural forums, and his interest in Chinese studies, it can be said that he has a lot of inventory.
is enough to make himself comfortable in this poetry and book Tang Dynasty.
Since it is an established fact that he came to this strange Tang Dynasty, he can't sigh all day long, since this is the case, he must realize his ambition in this Li Tang Dynasty.
"Strong, strong, eat."
It was the cousin of the uncle's family who greeted Li Zisheng, and his cousin who followed the cousin, who was two years older than himself and had reached the age of entering school, was carrying a cloth bag cross-body, as if he had just gotten out of school in a private school, and followed his cousin to call him home.
My cousin has reached the age of Ji this year, and she has already appeared as a little beauty. In this feudal society, Ji Lu is already at the age of talking about marriage, and his eldest aunt is also busy with this matter every day, and her heart is broken.
"Hey, big sister."
Li Zisheng opened his short legs and ran down the hill.
The three sisters and brothers rushed home on the field road, and along the way, Li Zisheng looked left and right, the weather in October, the night came early, and the lights were already on in each home.
At this time, it was in the prosperous Tang Dynasty and the first century, it can be said that the people are abundant, the national strength is strong, the emphasis is on hiding the wealth in the people, the people have a lot of savings, and the houses they live in are naturally not very simple, almost every family is the compound of this civil engineering structure, surrounded by fences. Along the way, there are only three or two thatched houses, which are still used to store surplus grain, especially Tianshui Village, which is backed by the Yellow River, and the real estate is even richer. Almost every family has their own Yongye field, and after paying the taxes, there is still a lot of surplus grain.
The same is true of the Li family, the Li family is also a first-class family in Tianshui Village, there are grandfathers and grandmothers, the family is prosperous, his father is the youngest in the family, there are three uncles and an aunt, but his generation is only a few three men, the cousins of the uncle's three uncles, and himself, the female dependents are a lot, under the feudal small peasant system, the men can be said to be loved at home.
Although the Li family is wealthy and the incense is vigorous, they can't stand the crowd, and the income and expenditure expenses are still a lot, so after harvesting the crops in the family, they go to the county to be a tenant of the Yang family landlord and earn more silver taels. And today happened to be the day when my father and several uncles came home, so the female relatives in the family were also busy, inviting the village elders to hold a family banquet.
Feudal etiquette and religion pay a lot of attention. When a family banquet is held, it is indispensable to let the respected elders in the village preside over it, showing the prosperity of the family and the prosperity of the years. And this has become a common rule in the countryside.
Today, the people of the family gathered, several elders of the family, slaughtered an old sheep, to celebrate this year's harvest, but it was only used three points of the sheep's body, and the remaining seven points were dried, sealed with lotus leaf yellow mud, and left for the New Year.
"Zhuangzhuang, let's go back first." After the cousin explained, he and his cousin immediately rushed back to the east courtyard in the compound, the east courtyard is the residence of the eldest uncle, the second uncle also lives in the east courtyard, his father and the third uncle's family are in the west courtyard, and the grandfather and grandmother live in the main house of the compound.
"Little rabbit, you still know to come back, hurry up and change your clothes, today's family banquet can't be ashamed." It was Li Zisheng's mother Wang who spoke, wearing a washed and somewhat whitish skirt, and the wooden hairpin coiled her hair high, Wang stared at his eyes, reprimanding on the surface, but a pair of eyebrows and eyes smiled, with a slight pungent breath around his body, looking as if he was waiting for himself to come back.
"Mother, you are so good-looking today, you even took out this hairpin."
"Little ghost, I know that I am joking, today is a good day, hurry up and change my clothes. Wash it, little mud monkey. Wang knew that Zhuang Zhuang loved cleanliness, but he still asked again.
"Mother, what day is it today, the family is so lively, I see that the sheep have been slaughtered, and the village elders are here, can you have a full meal?" Li Zisheng asked knowingly.
Wang laughed out loud, shook his head at Li Zisheng dotingly, and then followed Sanniang to help with the kitchen. Before leaving, I didn't forget to tell you to change your clothes quickly.
