Chapter 2 Widows
It seems that in a dream, he is like a flat boat in the big waves, rolling uncontrollably in the stormy waves.
A wave more than ten meters tall hit him, although his mind was as firm as iron, he couldn't help but be in a cold sweat.
"Ahh He finally woke up from this dazed state, only to find that he was covered in sweat.
"Uncle, are you awake?" A soft voice sounded in his ears, and he turned his head to look, only to see a young woman in a long linen dress, holding a black porcelain bowl, looking at him with beautiful eyes. On the ground behind her, a potted pot bubbled and bubbled. The rich aroma of Chinese medicine fills the room.
There was a mess in my head, and I didn't have any thoughts. He glanced at the woman, who was wearing a linen dress, but could not hide the elegance of the peerless era, withdrew his gaze, and began to look around.
It's a house in ancient costumes, well, it's a little shabby, but it's still full of classical atmosphere. The old table of eight immortals, the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, and the thick thread-bound book on the bedside cabinet.
Where the hell is this? Was it the filming site of the movie? Who is this woman, actor? How did I end up here? Am I not dead?
Am I saved? But where is this?
My head was a mess, like I had been hit with a sledgehammer, I couldn't think of anything, but I felt like I could remember everything.
Bouts of sleepiness struck him again, and although he tried hard to keep his eyes from falling asleep, he failed in the end.
……
Ten days later, at night, he sat in the courtyard, looking up boredly at the crescent moon hanging from the treetops. After a long time, he withdrew his gaze, rubbed his sore neck, and sighed.
Turning his head to look to the other side, the candlelight in the next room was still on, and a woman's delicate figure was reflected on the yellowed window paper.
Over the past few days, he has understood his environment.
This is Jiangning, which is later known as Nanjing. His current name is Lu Heng, and he has the fame of showing talent. However, since he was admitted to the examination three years ago, his fame has not grown. usually reads to death, but now the future is blocked by books. Typical nerd.
The Lu family is also a scholarly family, and there have been many officials in the ancestors, even if it is the father, he is also a small county official in the field. However, two years ago, because of a case, he was implicated and executed. Fortunately, the children were not implicated.
Now, he has only one widow in his family. It was at the moment when he was awake that the beautiful woman with the medicine bowl was held. Her name is Liu Qingqing, and she is only two years older than herself. My sister-in-law married into the family two years ago, and she has not shared the joy of humanity with her brother, and her sick brother was affected by his father's incident and soon died.
In order to survive, Lu Heng sold his family's ancestral property, bought a small yard by the Qinhuai River in Jiangning, and lived here with his sister-in-law.
In two years, there is not much left of the property that has been sold. These days, I rely on my sister-in-law to help others do the work to support the family.
Previously, he had a marriage contract. The marriage contract was made by the father when he was alive and he was married to someone else. The other party is the daughter of Lord Yin of Jiangning Weaving Mansion, Su Xiaoqian.
It's just that since the death of his father two years ago, the Lu family has plummeted. This Su Fu Yin also seems to have regretted his marriage. Finally, after holding back for two years, Su Fuyin couldn't help but speak.
Ten days ago, Su Fu Yin sent someone to send a lot of gifts and money to Lu Jian, and his request was to let Lu Jian hand over the marriage contract. And this nerd, under the attack of anger and blood, was so angry that he fainted on the spot.
When I wake up again, it's already a matter of fact.
In his previous life, he exhausted all his organs and spent his life making wedding dresses for others. It's just that in the end, it ended miserably. Nowadays, he just wants to live an ordinary life, without disputes, without intrigue, and to be an ordinary person.
But.
He glanced back at the dilapidated courtyard, as well as the hard-working sister-in-law in the wing. Glancing up at the crescent moon in the treetops, he sighed, "However, this is too miserable!" ”
Ten days ago, his sister-in-law asked someone to find him an errand to work as a bookkeeper in the king's house. Unexpectedly, this kid said that a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way, a gentleman and righteousness, a villain and profit, and said that everything is inferior, only reading is high, and he can't live or die.
Although Liu Qingqing was annoyed in her heart, she didn't say anything. Just let him think about it before making a decision.
It's useless to be a scholar! He himself was so willing to eat soft rice and let this weak woman support himself?
A wry smile appeared on Lu Heng's face, amused by the stubborn thoughts of the previous owner of this body.
Now, it's a different one. Do you still need to think about it? Of course I have to go. Moreover, the errand of the accounting office seems to be good. The income is not very high, and compared to the work in his previous life, it is not very tiring.
What's more, the current family situation is in urgent need of financial resources.
So, after the body has recovered a little. Lu Heng told his sister-in-law what he thought.
After seeing Lu Heng's attitude and the one hundred and eighty-degree turn he had made before, Liu Qingqing just glanced at Lu Heng and let out a soft sigh. However, Lu Heng still saw a smile in her eyes.
I guess I'm glad to do it!
Tomorrow I will go to the palace to report, Lu Heng is sitting in the courtyard, but thinking about another thing. That is, the problem of the world now.
He thought about it for a long time and didn't understand how there could be such a strange thing in history.
The current era is a dynasty called the Great Zhou. Its founding emperor is the generation of empress Wu Zetian in the memory of later Lu Heng.
It's just that history seems to have changed here.
In the late period of Wu Zetian, it was not passed on to the Li family as in the previous historical records.
This generation of empresses has made a little joke with history. She let a person from a martial arts family recognize her as her mother. Subsequently, he made this man of the samurai family the crown prince. After a bloody crackdown, there was no opposition from Da Zhou. And the Li family, which had rebelled before, was also wiped out.
Then, history took a fork in the road. After the influence of the Tang Dynasty, the martial arts family is also full of talents.
Succession of the throne from generation to generation. Now he is the thirtieth emperor of the Great Zhou. The rest, I don't know much about it. I don't know if it's because my thinking hasn't recovered, or because Lu Heng is a nerd who doesn't go out of the door and doesn't care about these court affairs.
The door of the wing room was pushed open with a creak, and Liu Qingqing Miaoman's body appeared at the door.
She was holding a piece of clothing in her hand, but after seeing her bite the thread on the dress with her fine teeth, she glanced at Lu Heng and said coldly: "It's cold outside, uncle, let's go into the house." lest you suffer from the cold! ”
In the winter of the third year of the Great Zhou Qingyuan, a woman with a beautiful face stood at the door of the hut, and the dim light sprinkled on her body, like a fairy who had degraded the mortal world.
