Chapter 1: Wake Up
The sky was cloudy, thunder was rolling, and the entire prosperous Lin'an City was shrouded in a depressing atmosphere. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Shen An woke up from a drowsy slumber, and was greeted by a gray bedspread, and a cold feeling came from his forehead, as if a palm was attached to it.
"Whew!"
Shen An sat up suddenly, and the palm on his forehead quickly retracted in fright.
After a brief silence, Shen An looked at everything unfamiliar in front of him. It's a bedroom, quaint, slightly shabby and without the slightest hint of modernity.
A woman who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old was standing in front of him nervously, looking at him from time to time.
At the same time, some scattered memories poured into Shen An's mind like a tide.
Jiang Chao, Shen family. Shen An, the word Zhongping.
It was finally raining outside the window, and a woman who looked like a maid ran in against the heavy rain.
"Miss, it's raining heavily outside. Hey? Uncle...... My uncle woke up......"
In the afternoon, the rain stopped. Shen An stood in the courtyard in a daze, those scattered memories were digested by him, and the expression on his face was complicated.
Here, no longer that era. No cars, no planes, no high-rises.
I never imagined that such a thing as rebirth would happen to me, and I couldn't imagine that there was really such a thing as rebirth.
At that time, it is more appropriate to call Shen An's previous life now.
In his previous life, Shen An was a self-made financial giant. He was going to take the mountain away, but he was put together by his most beloved woman and came to this world.
Thankfully, she didn't get a penny of her own, and his money was automatically donated to charity after his death.
And now, his identity is the concubine of the Shen family in Lin'an City, or the abandoned concubine.
The Shen family is a well-known businessman in Lin'an City, and the current ruler of the Shen family is Shen An's father, Shen Dingyong. Shen An only got Shen An after being drunk and lingering with an ordinary peasant woman, and in this case, the other ladies of the Shen Mansion were naturally opposed, and there was a frightening cyan patch on the side of Shen An's biological mother's face.
On the day Shen An was born, Shen An's biological mother died due to dystocia, and Shen An, who had not yet had a clear conscience and finally survived, was adopted by him until he was twenty years old.
When he was twenty years old, Shen Dingyong found a family affair for Shen An, gave Shen An a house, and completely isolated Shen An from Shen Mansion.
The current Jiang Dynasty is somewhat similar to the Ming Dynasty in Shen An's previous life, and some historical celebrities are also here, while others have never appeared.
It turned out that Shen An's memories were scattered, and many memories had disappeared, and it was a blessing in misfortune that he had a high fever for seven or eight days in a row, and his brain was not burned out. It was probably because Shen An was weak-willed, committed suicide, resolutely resisted seeing a doctor, and was also burned for his life.
"Pearl?" There is very little content about Mingzhu in memory, and the hidden emotion is more of a kind of resistance and disgust.
Li Mingzhu stood at the door, looking at Shen An in the courtyard, her eyes full of worry and sadness.
She was not satisfied with this husband. But what if you are not satisfied, the words of the parents are almost impossible to disobey in this era.
But she is a sensible girl, since she is a wife, it is to marry a chicken and a dog and a dog.
The weather was still a little cool after the rain in early spring, Li Mingzhu took a piece of clothing to put on Shen An, to her surprise, Shen An did not push her away, and scolded her on the head, but wrapped her clothes, before this, she was ready to be beaten or scolded.
Shen An looked back at the woman in front of him, dressed in plain green, with a delicate face and fair complexion, very beautiful.
Li Mingzhu was still a little caught off guard by this sudden change, and it wasn't until Shen An's words that she came back to her senses: "Mother...... Son, I'm hungry. ”
He quickly changed his role, since the previous life has passed, then cherish this life and live it well.
Li Mingzhu was a little flustered, hurriedly combed the hair on her forehead, and shouted at the maid: "Xiaohe, hurry up and cook a few meals for my uncle."
In the evening, the sun came out again, casting a golden light, and Lin'an City looked solemn and mysterious under this light.
"Lady, I caused this injury on your hand?" After Shen An finished eating, he happened to see an obvious scar on the back of Li Mingzhu's hand, and in his vague memory, this scar seemed to be related to himself, and he couldn't help frowning slightly.
Li Mingzhu lowered his head and shrunk his hand, and said softly: "What's not in the way, what's not in the way."
Although I don't know why my father-in-law's temperament has changed drastically, it is much better than the previous moodiness and scolding her and Xiaohe.
Shen An was silent, Shen An, you are really fucked, this sentence is slanderous to the original "Shen An".
But fortunately, the scars on Li Mingzhu's hands are almost better, put down this question, and Shen An thought about the problem in front of him. There is not a shortage of silver taels now, and the Shen family will send some silver taels every month, although there are not many of them, but as long as they are not used indiscriminately, they will always have a full meal.
Anyway, I came to this world, since I can't die of hunger and freeze, then I will honestly continue this life, sometimes ordinary, but also a kind of luck.
Thinking back to his past life, the huge financial empire he owned, money was just a number for him, and it was extremely prosperous. But the more he looked back, the more he felt the preciousness of the ordinary.
……
In February, there was a lot of smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, and Shen An had been in this world for more than half a month. In the past half a month, Shen An has completely accepted and integrated into this world, and when he has nothing to do, he goes out to walk around Lin'an City, at this time, the scenery of West Lake has just sprouted a little bud.
As for Li Mingzhu, he was doing housework at home, and there was a little maid who said hello to him, in this life, it would be good to live like this.
However, the good times didn't last long, and someone from the Shen Mansion came, but this time it was not according to the usual practice to send the silver taels every month, but to give an ultimatum.
The person from Shen Mansion was a thin old man with a goatee, and Li Mingzhu called him Steward Liu.
Steward Liu was in the courtyard when he arrived, looking around at the dilapidated house, with a high-spirited look on his face.
Li Mingzhu instructed Xiaohe to pour a cup of tea for Steward Liu, Steward Liu waved his hand, and said lightly to Shen An: "Little boy, you must have heard about the matter over there in the Shen Mansion, the recent renovation of the ancestral temple has cost a lot of silver, and there are too many people in the Shen Mansion, and the internal expenses are not a small amount." The silver taels in the Shen Mansion's business can't be supported now, so after discussion on the Shen Mansion's side, it was decided to let some capable children of the Shen Mansion be self-reliant, so the silver taels that the Shen Mansion originally gave to the little prince every month during this period were afraid to be put on hold for a while. ”
"The little boy is also a literati who has studied for two years, and there must still be a means of making a living, but he is old and incompetent, and he can't help the little boy."
Heh, the excuse of building an ancestral shrine can also be used, and he really thinks of Shen An as a fool.
The Shen family's business is so big, and there are names in various money houses, could it be that this ancestral hall needs to be repaired and decorated with silver?
I'm afraid this is also a bad idea from the female dependents of the Shen family, the original Shen An did study for a few years, but Shen Dingyong was a little more generous, and sent him to the academy to study for two years, but after a few years of study, he was only a half-baked literati.
But now this Shen An is not the other Shen An, naturally he will not immediately be furious because of this matter, and he politely dealt with a few words, and sent Steward Liu out.
Li Mingzhu stood in place, panicked, without the help of the Shen family and the silver couple, the next life would be very difficult.
She herself has no other skills other than making some female red embroidery. Although her mother's family is also a scholarly family and knows a few words, but because of her family's middle and fall, her knowledge is not enough to read. As for Shen An, he may be a little better than her, but among the many talented literati in Lin'an City, Shen An is nothing.
Shen An sent Steward Liu away, walked up to Li Mingzhu, and paused: "Lady, how many silver taels are left in the family?"
Li Mingzhu heard Shen An speak, calmed down a little, and his flustered heart calmed down a little, women, the backbone of the heart is still a man after all.
Li Mingzhu returned to the wing room where he lived and took out a box, as for why Li Mingzhu went to the wing room to pick it up? It's the original Shen An's sin again, there is no round house after the two get married, Shen An irritably drove Li Mingzhu to the wing of the house, and the girl Xiaohe who married with Li Mingzhu also lives in another wing room next to Li Mingzhu.
Shen An was slightly embarrassed, it was inappropriate to live in the main room by himself and let his wife live in the wing room. As for the round house, Shen An has also thought about it, but under the current situation, it is even more inappropriate to force the round house. So be it, let it be, and wait for it to fall into place.
Shen An walked in, and in his memory, this should be the first time he entered Li Mingzhu's room. The whole room is quietly furnished, small and warm, and there are four treasures in the study, after all, it is from a scholarly family.
Li Mingzhu obviously didn't realize that Shen An was looking at her room, she lowered her head and counted the silver taels in the box: "There are more than thirty taels, it should last for a month, and it should barely last for about two months."
"That's it...... "Since you can still hold on for a while, then you don't panic, Shen An doesn't believe that he, a financial predator, will starve to death in this world."
There will always be a way.
