Chapter 2 The young master who is not as good as the concubine
A few days later, in the early morning, Xiao Mo stood in front of the hut, looking at a half-withered pear tree in front of him, pursing his lips, his eyes slightly worried.
Xiao Mo thought that he had not deviated from the original era for too long, and there was always some hope, maybe there would be hope to go back one day, but through the understanding of the past few days, Xiao Mo really felt a little powerless.
According to Xiaoya, it is now the third year of the emperor's reign, and as a top student majoring in archaeology at Peking University, Xiao Mo is still familiar with the era names of the past dynasties.
There are three emperors who have used the Kaihuang era name, Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wen of Sui and Yuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. Through Xiao Mo's observation, the costumes at this time were much more mature than those in the Han Dynasty, and there was no silk and cloud brocade in the Han Dynasty at that time, although it was rare at this time, there were also them.
However, at this time, although the status of literati and ink scholars was respected and very sought after by people, there was no such thing as fame, that is to say, there was no imperial examination system at this time, or the imperial examination system had not yet been implemented.
This imperial examination system was officially implemented when Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was in power. Then, this should be the opening year of the Sui Dynasty. And this is not the Sui Dynasty that Emperor Wen of Sui worked hard for 20 years, the most prosperous Sui Dynasty, but the early years of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the empire.
Xiao Mo couldn't help but think of the various complex social problems when the dynasty was first established, and suddenly his head was big.
Xiao Mo let out a long sigh, he had deviated from the original time and space for nearly 1,500 years. Knowing this, Xiao Mo didn't know anything about what to do next and how to live, and even the firm determination just now became at a loss.
Xiao Mo also consciously or unintentionally learned about his situation and environment through Xiaoya. only to find that everything was much worse than he had imagined.
What made Xiao Mo feel even more powerless was his identity here. According to Xiaoya, she was the second son of the Xiao family in Luoyang. Luoyang, the eastern capital, is a very prosperous metropolis at this time, echoing with the imperial capital Daxing, dotted on the land like two pearls.
Although the Xiao family is not one of the four major families in the world, it is also a very large family, at least in Luoyang, it is a real big family and quite influential. Such a family is desirable for anyone, but it is a burden for Xiao Mo.
Xiao Mo's mother was originally the maidservant of the eldest young master of the Xiao family, who was dissolute and uninhibited when he was young, and was known as a romantic man. The maidservants of the big family are quite beautiful, and the reason why they have lived together since childhood made Xiao Mo's mother be pampered by the eldest young master of the Xiao family early and became pregnant with Xiao Mo.
But in this era, this is absolutely not in line with the law of etiquette, at this time it is extremely important to pay attention to the right family, and it is a very important class concept, and it is absolutely forbidden to have a child with a maidservant in a big family, which can be said to be a shame on the family.
Although the eldest young master of the Xiao family later became the head of the family and used his power to accept his maidservant as a concubine, Xiao Mo did not improve his status because of this, he did not even have a true name in the Xiao family, and he was nominally ranked second, but he was always called Xiao Si.
At this time, the children of the big family are not ranked according to age, but according to the status of their mothers to determine the status of their heirs, and Xiao Mo's status is undoubtedly the lowest. Because Xiao Mo's status is too low, although he has a younger brother and a younger sister, because he was born to a servant girl, he can't go to the family tree, and he is not even as good as his sister, so he can only be called Xiao Si.
Just a month ago, Xiao Si's mother suddenly died of an emergency, Xiao Si's status was lowered again, and he was silent all day, and it didn't take long for the Xiao family's housewife to feel that Xiao Si's existence was a kind of defilement of the Xiao family, so she drove Xiao Si out of the Xiao Mansion. The head of the Xiao family was out at that time and had not returned, and he was already helpless when he learned the news.
Xiao Si has nothing but a maid bought by his mother since he was a child, Xiao Si, who has been cowardly since he was a child, has no way out, and he is angry and sad, coupled with his powerlessness and despair, he has no other love. In the end, he committed suicide by throwing himself into the river. When he was rescued, he was already dying, and although he finally woke up, he was no longer the original Xiao Si.
Xiao Mo shook his head vigorously and sighed, could it be that he was really cursed for digging someone's grave? What is this called, but looking back, if he hadn't appeared here, he might have died when the ancient tomb collapsed, and he was optimistic that he was at least still alive, and as a top student, Xiao Mo felt that he still had a certain advantage in this era.
Xiao Mo is not Xiao Si, he won't care too much about what Xiao Si has experienced, of course, when things find Xiao Mo, Xiao Mo will not be as cowardly as him. No matter how many difficulties there are in life, just face them. Thinking about this, Xiao Mo was finally in a better mood.
"Young master, young master, the little girl is back." When Xiao Mo was studying the political commissars of later generations, doing ideological work for himself, and occasionally making cameo appearances as Kong Yiji, Xiaoya's voice came from his ears.
"Young master, young master, today Xiaoya was rewarded for helping at Grandma Wang's house, we have meat to eat tonight" Xiaoya stared at Xiao Mo with excitement on her face.
Xiao Mo suddenly felt inexplicably sad, facing this innocent girl who was supporting a small family with her own labor, she didn't feel hard, and it was easy to be satisfied, in her opinion, serving her young master seemed to be a natural thing.
If Xiao Mo was still the original Xiao Si, Xiao Mo might take it for granted, but all this was really different in Xiao Mo's eyes, Xiao Mo, a high-achieving student in the new century, really didn't have the habit of being served by maids.
Xiao Mo has been here for many days, there is such a little girl by his side, there is only such a little girl accompanying him in the midst of hardships and hardships, Xiao Mo has purely regarded Xiaoya as his sister, even for such a simple-minded girl, Xiao Mo feels that he can't treat everything negatively.
After figuring out this, Xiao Mo's heart was finally a little more transparent, looking at the simple little girl blinking at himself with big eyes, Xiao Mo said without thinking, "Little girl, I am your young master!" All will be! ”
Xiao Mo's suddenly inexplicable words made Xiaoya look very incomprehensible. But before Xiaoya could speak, Xiao Mo spoke again: "Xiaoya, prepare some wheat for the young master, and the young master will get something interesting for Xiaoya to show tomorrow." ”
