On the eighth day of the seventh month, Sun Yu was resting, so he didn't go out, and went to supervise his younger brother's studies as soon as it was dawn.

At this time, Chen Wen was still lying on the bed and sleeping lazily. Probably because he slept in the dark for a day when he was recuperating, and the biological clock was automatically adjusted back, and on days when he didn't need to go to work, what could an otaku do if he didn't sleep lazy.

"What a gentleman." Sun Yu shook his head, and lightly helped his younger brother move the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone to the north house first.

It wasn't until the third pole of the sun that Chen Wen got up lazily. Looking at the sky outside the window, he suddenly remembered something, as if the forum said that the ancients did not eat lunch, but only two meals a day. As for the days of three meals a day in the old camp, he has completely understood it as a sick meal.

It's just that Chen Wen didn't know that the ancients didn't necessarily have two meals a day, and how many meals they ate was basically determined by the economic standard of living. Before the Sui and Tang dynasties, ordinary people had two meals a day, and nobles had three meals a day, but after the Sui and Tang dynasties, ordinary people would choose three meals a day as long as they could get by. Of course, in a poor family, one meal a day has to be lived, and even if the Son of Heaven is not hungry, he has to eat four meals a day, which is a special case.

However, while the three-meal system prevailed, the two-meal system did not die out. In the "Qing Barnyard Banknotes and Diets", it is recorded that "the number of solar eclipses of Chinese people is three times on ordinary days in the south and two times on ordinary days in the north". For example, at that time, Lanzhou people had "two meals a day", while Ningbo and Shaoxing in Zhejiang Province had "three meals a day". Of course, this is also directly related to the local economic conditions.

In the Sun family, Sun Yu himself is an official, and he has a monthly salary to receive, and it is not a problem to feed a family of three. Although the little daughter-in-law of the Sun family is a little worse at cooking, she is surprisingly good at the matter of female popularity, and she can always supplement some household expenses. In addition, the Simingshan area is relatively peaceful at present, and the prices are relatively low, and it is normal to have three meals a day.

However, Chen Wen's arrival directly led to the Sun family having an extra mouth to eat, but fortunately, Wang Jiang's timely subsidy also made up for the loss of this piece, and the Sun family's living standard did not decline because of this.

When Chen Wen went out of the room, he found that the little daughter-in-law of the Sun family was cooking lunch, which made Chen Wen feel at ease and at the same time very indignant at the information taken out of context on the Internet.

At this time, there was a knock on the courtyard door of the Sun family.

Out of consideration to prevent the little daughter-in-law of the Sun family from burning the vegetables again, Chen Wen immediately signaled himself to open the door.

Opening the courtyard gate, a man with a short body and a meaty face was standing outside the door with two rabbits.

"Hello, who are you looking for?" Chen Wen asked politely.

I saw that the man saw Chen Wen, he was stunned at first, then took two steps back and looked around, and said with a puzzled face: "I'm looking for Sun Juren, you ......" He looked at Chen Wen's clothes. "Well, you are?"

Lift people? Damn, this dead facial paralysis is still a lifting person, I really underestimate him. Chen Wen clearly remembered that Wang Yi and Wang Jiang seemed to be just a showman, so how did he become such a famous ambassador.

"My surname is Chen, I live here temporarily, Brother Sun is studying in it, Brother Tai, please come in and say."

After Chen Wen brought the man in, the little daughter-in-law of the Sun family also walked out of the kitchen, and immediately said a blessing. "It turned out to be the uncle of the Wu family. My uncle's clothes have already been mended, and I was going to send them to my uncle in the afternoon. ”

"There is already Mrs. Lao's sister-in-law in this matter, you can pick it up by yourself, and Mrs. Sister-in-law is polite." The man handed over the rabbit in his hand and said, "This is a certain fight in the mountains yesterday, just to make up for his body." ”

Chen Wen swallowed his saliva, and couldn't help but think that this could indeed replenish his body. There is a poem that says: the male rabbit's feet are fluttering, the female rabbit's eyes are blurred, wash and chop into pieces, blanch and fry golden, put them in a casserole, add ingredients to cook over high heat, simmer over low heat for four moments, slowly collect the juice over medium heat, divide into small pieces out of the pot, pour oil and put it into a plate. Nice！

However, even so, the little daughter-in-law of the Sun family refused to accept it. "I have to bother Uncle Wu every time, how embarrassing is this."

However, the man seemed quite bold, and only heard him say: "What is this waste, didn't my sister-in-law ask for a penny to help me and other brothers sew clothes?" You guys from a big family are too polite. ”

Big family? Chen Wen was puzzled.

The little daughter-in-law of the Sun family took the rabbit with great gratitude, and introduced to Chen Wen and the man: "This is the uncle of the Wu family, Yan Dengke, and his grandson's fellow villager. This is the uncle of the Chen family, who is a colleague of his grandson. ”

It turns out that his external identity in the Sun family is a colleague of his brother with facial paralysis, why didn't he confess to me in advance of this nonsense, this guy won't even forget this.

"It turned out to be Chen Guanren, rude and rude." That Wu Dengke was in awe.

"Brother Wu is polite, Brother Tai is Brother Sun's fellow villager, you and I can be commensurate with each other, no need to be polite."

Although people say so, they are white after all, and they must not go too far, otherwise they will only annoy people. But in Wu Dengke's eyes, Chen Wen is easy-going and adds some good feelings for no reason.

When the two sides greeted each other, Sun Yu also walked out of the north room. "Brother Wu Xian is here, just about to have lunch, let's stay and eat together."

Hearing this, Wu Dengke was not polite, and immediately beckoned to go drinking.

In the summer, the weather was hot and there was no air conditioning, so the dining table was placed in the small courtyard, and the little daughter-in-law of the Sun family was still hiding in the kitchen to eat.

On the table, a boiled chicken, a plate of roasted rabbit meat with potatoes, a plate of fried bean sprouts with leeks, a plate of mixed cucumbers and a large pot of green vegetable and egg drop soup. Of course, there are also the two jars of rice wine that Wu Dengke just brought back, as well as the red water rhombus and white lotus root that were used as tribute yesterday as appetizers.

Eating leeks for two days in a row made Chen Wen's eyes a little ambiguous when he looked at the Sun family and his wife. It's a pity that there are no fennel beans, and I can't follow the example of Kong Junyi.

The four of them sat down, and after seeing the main family move chopsticks, Chen Wen did not doubt that he began to serve soup and vegetables. The soup is still as delicious as ever, but who knows that today's potato roasted rabbit meat is even saltier than yesterday's stir-fried shredded pork. recalled his sentence yesterday, "I am a northerner, and my mouth is heavy, and the taste is just right." "It's really cheap.

After two bites of rice, Chen Wen went to pick up another piece of boiled chicken. After eating, I only felt that the chicken was really boiled for nothing, and there was no taste at all. However, the remaining two dishes were not bad, and they were not completely wiped out.

Gone away, this little daughter-in-law is clearly a nerve knife when cooking.

In the future, when I eat at Sun's house, this dish must no longer be rashly put into my mouth, otherwise I will have to be turned into a swallow tiger by this little daughter-in-law. At that time, she could be regarded as inadvertently removing a big harm for Manchu.

After three rounds of drinking, Sun Ming, who couldn't drink, was glared back to the house by his brother. After a while, Sun Yu withdrew from the table to stare at his younger brother to study, and even the little daughter-in-law of the Sun family, who was hiding in the kitchen, went back to the north house to be a female celebrity after changing the hot water of the warm wine. And Chen Wen and Wu Dengke were left on the wine table.

The degree of rice wine is not high, and the warm drink is more rich and soft. After a jar went down, for Chen Wen, the modern high alcohol drank too much, and it was really difficult to drink such a degree. However, it seems that the person in front of him seems to be a little hot.

And that's exactly what Chen Wen needs.

Between pushing the glass and changing the lamp, the meat jokes on several wine tables immediately tightened the distance between each other, and gradually Wu Dengke began to lose his mouth.

This made Chen Wen feel that it was not challenging, after all, he hadn't bothered much to talk about it. However, after he re-clarified the order of Wu Dengke's words, he suddenly felt that he had a deeper understanding of the current era.

Sun Yu is a native of Jinhua County, Jinhua Prefecture, born in a small family, and his parents opened a small food shop in Fuzhi to provide him with education.

Sun Yu has been extremely studious since he was a child, and he was very valued by his husband when he was a student. Chongzhen ten years, only thirteen years old, he participated in the imperial examination for the first time and passed the Tongsheng examination, although compared with the twelve-year-old Yang Tinghe is much inferior, but it does not prevent the gentry of Jinhua Mansion at that time from being praised as a prodigy. Three years later, Sun Yu fought again in the examination room, won the fame of Xiucai, and was also the head of Jinhua Mansion.

And Sun Yu's wife's surname is Yi, she is a big family in the countryside of Jinhua County, with houses and land, and there are many shops in several counties in the prefecture, but his family is not a gentleman.

In the Ming Dynasty, the big families were not gentlemen, and in the eyes of the people of the time, they were just big money. Old Man Yi has been cautious all his life, but the gentry look down on him, and the apportionment of the government has never been less than him, and even the officials of the government dare to make fun of him. For this reason, the old man suffered all his life. Before he died, he promised his favorite little granddaughter to Sun Yu, who had just been admitted to the show, and left a will, asking his son to fully support Sun Yu's imperial examination.

In another three years, Sun Yu was raised, although the ranking this time was not high, but a nineteen-year-old lifter can definitely be called an unlimited future. Moreover, in the Ming Dynasty, a famous person could already enjoy the preferential policies of the imperial court for scholars. It was also this year that Sun Yu married Yi.

The nineteen-year-old official reserve, which in Chen Wen's era, probably had to be the second generation of officials, reds, and rich to have a chance.

In this way, a child from a low-level social family completely changed the fate of himself and his family with his own efforts. At this moment, both the Sun family and the Yi family are looking forward to Chongzhen's nineteen-year imperial examination, looking forward to Sun Yu's title on the gold list, and taking the lead. And Sun Yu is also studying harder, waiting for this moment to come.

Until this moment, in Chen Wen's view, Sun Yu's life is still like the inspirational drama of his time, and he is moving forward bravely in the direction of success.

However, nine times out of ten, life was unsatisfactory, and when everyone was full of hope, the timeline leading to the nineteenth year of Chongzhen was ruthlessly interrupted by the rolling torrent of history in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen.

On March 19 of the 17th year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng attacked Beijing, and the rule of the Ming court in the north collapsed. Immediately afterwards, in the Battle of a Stone, the Dashun army was defeated, Li Zicheng withdrew from Beijing, and the Qing army entered the customs. At this time, Sun Yu had to take refuge in the countryside with his family because the rest of Xu Du was still in turmoil in Jinhua Mansion.

And at this moment, the real power faction of the Ming court in Nanjing has started a new daily life that runs through the entire history of the Southern Ming Dynasty - infighting!

In the second year, the Qing army went south, Nanjing fell, Hongguang Tianzi was captured, and the king of Jianguo Lu surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. Immediately afterwards, the Qing court issued a paper shaving order, and the world was in an uproar, and the Ming court, which was basically dead, ushered in a return to light. For a time, Zhejiang was turbulent, and King Lu supervised the country in Shaoxing, and fought with the Qing army on the Qiantang River. At this time, the rest of Xu Du had been suppressed by the Ming army, so Sun Yu accepted the conquest and painted military affairs for Zhu Dadian, a fellow superintendent of the university.

In May of the first year of the Lu Jianguo, the Qing army broke through the Qiantang River, and the Ming army of the Lu Jianguo system collapsed on all fronts. On June 18, Sun Yu was ordered to go to Yongkang to recruit soldiers to defend Jinhua. On June 23, the Qing army moved south and surrounded Jinhua three days later. And Sun Yu is still recruiting soldiers and trying to relieve the siege of Jinhua.

On July 16, the Qing army broke through Jinhua, Zhu Dadian's family died, and the Qing army slaughtered his city under the pretext of "the people are not obedient", and among them, Sun Yu's parents stayed in the city. A few days later, Yi, who was raising a baby at his mother's house in the countryside, learned of the death of Sun Yu's parents and fainted to the ground in grief. When I woke up, the child was gone.

And after learning of this series of changes, the former sunny boy Sun Yu never smiled again.

This year, Sun Yu said goodbye to his father-in-law and joined the righteous army of Yin Can, a native of Shengxian County, and became a leader in charge of money and food in the army, while Yi, who had just miscarried, chose to follow her husband with a dowry maid. Until March this year, Yin Can's army was defeated and died, and he left Jinhua and went to Dalan to serve Wang Yi's army.

Hearing this, there was already a faint cry from the north house, and Chen Wen knew that it was Yi's voice. At this moment, he suddenly realized his unintentional cruelty. I saw him standing up, a glass of water and wine on the ground, and bowing to the southwest in Wu Dengke's already chaotic gaze.

These historical events narrated by Wu Dengke are basically clear to Chen Wen as a modern person. Even if there are many historical events that Wu Dengke doesn't know, he knows a rough idea through his brain.

Although, in the history books of Chen Wen's era, there will be no record of a little person like Sun Yu. However, he knew very well that since the Qing army entered the customs, shaving hair, changing clothes, enclosing land, surrendering, fleeing slaves, and banning customs can be described as all over the place. Corrupt officials and corrupt officials exploited the peasants, industrialists and industrialists, and the Eight Banners Green Camp plundered merchants and people, and the Chinese people lived in dire straits, not to mention the tragedy of slaughtering the city and banning the sea, which caused tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people to be killed.

In the land of China in those years, it can be said that every family had blood debts and every household had grievances, and this kind of encounter was just Sun Yu's family?

And this is one of the reasons why Chen Wen has never considered being a submissive citizen to the Manchus since the day he came to this era.

Civilization and barbarism should be incompatible!

Thinking about this, Chen Wen suddenly felt a trace of guilt for giving Sun Yu the nickname "facial paralysis".

Forget it, let's call it Ice Cubeface.

That way, maybe he'll be able to melt one day.
