The text gradually falls on the ribbed paper with the spread of pen and ink, and the eight-point book slowly extends between the fiber textures with ancient twists and turns, their turns are square and fast, and the pen and ink are thick but not fat, just like the content of the text.
Liu Xu wrote the last word, slowly exhaled and closed his eyes, if you look closely, you will find that his breath is slow and regular, and his breath seems to correspond to the sound of his heartbeat. Meditation without sun and moon, it has been a thousand years in a hurry, it seems that centuries have passed, and it seems that in a blink of an eye, Liu Xu opened his eyes.
There is not much furniture in front of me, but a case, a bed, a stool, a bookshelf, simple and elegant, no different from the furnishings in my previous life.
However, the case is a small flat-headed case, and the material is made of Huanghuali, with a drawer board under it, a piece of paper, a mountain, an inkstone, and a pot of narcissus that is blooming beautifully; The stool is a square stool, which is not much different from the one I bought at IKEA in terms of shape, but it is a batch finished product in the industrial era, and a treasure furniture that is obviously made by skilled craftsmen, and its value is not the same; The bed is unrecognizable, surrounded by wooden planks on three sides, and light saro tents are set up on both sides, which is also a luxury that only rich and noble families can afford.
Liu Xu sighed softly, after experiencing countless failures, he had to admit sadly that he really couldn't go back.
As you might expect, Liu Xu is a time-traveler from the 21st century, and after writing a perfect calligraphy work, he plunged his head into the late Ming Dynasty. After that, Liu Xu tried to repeat the situation of that day many times, but found that he was afraid that he would not be able to return to the original era.
"Think about it, if you can cross through by writing a good word, won't Wang Xizhi and Zhong Xuan become the protagonists of the infinite stream?" Liu Xu thought secretly and began to think about how to survive in this era.
Liu Xu has a bachelor's degree in chemistry and a doctorate in history, and once held a position in a pyramid marketing organization, thinking that he could spend his life like this, but unexpectedly plunged headlong into this troubled era at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
Although my heart is still full of dissatisfaction with an existence in the dark, survival still comes first. Liu Xu sorted out the memories of this skin that crossed over, this little guy is also called Liu Xu, and he took the exam in his early twenties, although he is not as good as those who are perverted in his teens, but he is also a young talent in the Jiangnan area where Wenhua is splendid and full of books. The Ming Dynasty's treatment of scholars and doctors was quite good, the common people had to pay rent for farming, and they had to pay taxes for business, and they might not be free when they were craftsmen, and they tended to be indecent when they were military households. As for Jinshi, it is even more amazing, once he was a protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven, and after arranging flowers and parading the streets, he was rich and noble, and his family followed Jinshi's prestige in the local area to squeeze a large piece of land. Although the Ming Dynasty officials had a meager salary, and they had to struggle on the death line like Hai Rui every day to live on their money, even a noble official like Hanlin had his own way of making money, and he couldn't look down on this mosquito-legged salary.
In short, Liu Xu concluded, "I have traveled to a future young jinshi, the family has been a gentleman for generations, my father is dead, my grandfather is dead, my mother is still there, my grandmother is still there, and the next brother and sister are the standard Ming Dynasty imperial examination dragon Aotian template."
These conditions are very good, but there is one bad thing: it is now the end of the Ming Dynasty.
The Zhu Ming Dynasty, which has been running for almost three hundred years, is already exhausted by now, in the north there are Jiannu Xing soldiers eyeing the tiger, in the west first Gao Yingxiang, then Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong rose up, in the south Europe wind and rain and dark clouds overwhelmed, even the most peaceful Jiangnan region is the people are full of bandits, the entire Ming Dynasty has long been institutional corruption and the emperor's cabinet group death, and then encounter the Xiaoice period production reduction and foreign enemy invasion, it is simply unreasonable.
Let you be young and ambitious, let you be talented, let you be young and golden, and meet unreasonable homeless people and Jiannu is simply a fat meat sent to the mouth, even if you are a dignified emperor of the Ming Empire, you can't help but walk on the pine trees in the coal mountain, and the Jiangnan in the late Ming Dynasty is a small person?
Although I know that it is the end of the Ming Dynasty, but the year of the Apocalypse and the year of Chongzhen are naturally different, the early years of Chongzhen and the last years of Chongzhen are different, the most important thing at the moment is to figure out the era in which they live, determine the survival strategy, as for the salvation of the people, the expulsion of the Tartars, and the restoration of the Han family, you can adapt to the situation.
Just do what I say, I was busy trying to see if I could go back to the original era a few days ago, and I didn't know anything except for hearing the words of "Apocalypse" and "Emperor" in the mouth of my subordinates in a trance. Since Liu Xu decided to live at the end of this Ming Dynasty, the first step was to confirm that he was in a specific year.
What's the name of the man at the door? Liu Xu frowned and thought for a while, and shouted tentatively: "Liu'an, Liu'an!" β
"Master, you command!" Liu An is only eighteen years old this year, and it is the era of breaking out of rebellion, but the son of this Liufu family has been taught by his father to "respect and humility", "up and down" and "etiquette" since he was a child. The little master never liked to be disturbed when he wrote, because he had always been loyal to the door, and he never dared to let a flying insect go in and disturb the master Yaxing. Now when I heard the greeting, I hurriedly said, "Master, the little one is in", and after waiting for a while, seeing that the master did not object, he gently pushed the door in.
Liu An wears a lacquered gauze hat, a yellow shirt (Note 1), and a pair of blue-faced cloth boots under his feet, all of which are dark tones, which are not ostentatious and show a bit of atmosphere, and his behavior is old, which makes people feel quite relieved, not at all like an eighteen-year-old boy.
Liu Xu saw Liu An's actions and dressed up, a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, the first thing to cross is his own safety, as long as he stays in the green mountains, he is not afraid that there will be no firewood in the future, thinking that Han Gaozu was beaten by Xiang Yu and fled like a dog, and in the end, he was not embattled and won the overlord of Western Chu? Therefore, the most important thing is that there are a few retinues around you who can rest assured, whether it is blocking the sword on the battlefield or using it to test the poison stand-in.
The Liu'an in front of him is quite promising and can be included in the lackey inspection period.
"Master, what do you command?" Liu An couldn't help but feel a little strange when he saw that his master didn't say anything and just stared at himself, but even if it was strange, he didn't look up at his master directly, just stood in place, showing a good family education.
Liu An's words should be the official dialect of Nanzhili, but this official dialect sounds quite different from the Shanghai dialect and Suzhou dialect of later generations, but it has a hint of Tianjin dialect.
"It's not surprising that Tianjin Sanwei is mostly an officer from Nanzhili, and it's normal to bring the dialect here." Liu Xu thought so, while secretly rejoicing, "Fortunately, I have to learn various local dialects to do MLM, otherwise I really can't understand the official dialect of Nanzhi in the Ming Dynasty." Fortunately, I traveled through the end of the Ming Dynasty, only 400 years from modern times, and if I put my buddies in the Three Kingdoms or the Two Han Dynasty, I guess I won't be able to understand the ancient sound at that time. It's a great shame to think that I can't even understand the words after crossing through the history doctor of a famous school! β
While thinking about it, Liu Xu asked in a thick voice: "Ahem, my voice is not very sharp these days, ahem." After pausing for a moment, seeing that Liu An did not show a strange look, his heart was settled, and then he asked: "I have read a lot of books in the past few days, and I can't tell what day it is, let me ask you, what is the era name now?" β
Liu An didn't express any doubts about this question, thinking that the young master who was a young man would naturally not know the year name, he replied respectfully: "It's the seventh year of the Apocalypse, I heard that the emperor went a few days ago, and the new emperor is the original King of Xin." β
In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Chongzhen just succeeded to the throne, and Liu Xu crossed at the beginning. At this time, the nine-thousand-nine-hundred-year-old Wei Zhongxian was still in power, but it was also a grasshopper after the autumn that could not be jumped for a few days, Liu Xu frowned, and suddenly thought of a strategy. If this strategy can be successful, I am afraid that it will be famous in Jiangnan. In Jiangnan at the end of the Ming Dynasty, reputation is sometimes better than money.
Seeing that the master didn't speak, just quietly groaned, Liu An asked worriedly: "The young master's throat has not been comfortable for the past few days, but do you want to find a young man to take a look?" β
"Well, it's not necessary, it's just that I don't have enough water." If it is not for a serious illness, Liu Xu is not willing to let Chinese medicine in this era see a doctor, you must know that in this era when modern science has not developed, whether it is Chinese medicine or Western medicine, it is just empirical science, and there is no complete set of scientific theory system.
"Young master, young grandma instructed the little one, if you finish practicing calligraphy, please come over, saying that there is something to discuss."
Liu Xu thought of a headache - in this era, he is married! Because the memory inherited from Liu Xu is not comprehensive, I can't find much information after thinking about it for a while, except for my wife's surname Chen, and my family is also a wealthy family in Jiangnan.
"Anyway, the soldiers will block the water and come to Tutun, and they always want to see it! A dignified modern traverser can still be afraid of a woman in the Ming Dynasty! Liu Xu gritted his teeth and his heart was horizontal: "Liu An, lead the way!" β
Note 1: The extravagance of the late Ming scholars has become a trend, and the people who fraudulently use jade bead crowns and dragon and phoenix costumes do not know how many, and it is normal for women to wear red, crow green, and gold and jade, even if it is yellow, some people wear it, so the yellow clothes are written here to express the extravagant and arrogant atmosphere of the late Ming Jiangnan, I hope readers know.
