[Chapter 7 Look at the loneliness, the red dust is scarce]

During the half month that Shen Yun was hospitalized, Fang Cheng would come every day, while He Kuan and Dou Xian would come occasionally. He Dou and his two have good results in the annual examination, and they are expected to enter the grassroots level of the Imperial Executive Yuan by the end of this year as a recorder or chief bookkeeper, so they still have to prepare for an interview, and the time to visit is limited. Yan Ruyue also came twice, each time she sat down and left, wanting to say and stopping, as if she wanted to say something but didn't dare to say it. That made Shen Yun's heart itch, and the long-dormant spring heart began to sprout.

"Could she have been moved by my courageous act of saving people from danger, and her heart has already cherished me?" Shen Yun often fantasized so happily, even though he knew that the odds were very small. But the vanity of being a normal man still makes him can't help but fantasize like this.

Other than that, he never came to visit him again. This made Shen Yun deeply realize how bad his popularity at school was. It seems that no matter how many pig friends and dog friends there are, they are not useful. No one will care about you at a critical moment!

With the limelight that Bohai Hou was about to enter Beijing, Shen Yun quickly got the hospital's approval for discharge, and at the same time, even the medical expenses were discounted.

"143 copper coins?" Shen Yun looked at the bill written with a quill and looked at Fang Cheng strangely.

Fang Cheng didn't want to think about it, so he took out two silver coins from his arms and paid the bill.

Shen Yun was surprised not that the cost was too expensive, on the contrary, he felt that it was so cheap.

After coming to this strange era for so long, Shen Yun naturally understands the unit of currency here. The Han Empire had three currencies, gold, silver and copper, 1 gold coin was equal to 100 silver coins, and 1 silver coin was equal to 100 copper coins. Generally speaking, two silver coins can afford a family of three to live comfortably for a year--- based on a subsistence small-scale peasant economy, of course. And for a family of three living in a big city, two silver coins are enough for a family to have food and clothing for a month.

Shen Yun has been in the hospital for half a month, the ward is a senior ward, and the medicine is also the best, and even the medical staff are old doctors who have been interning for more than a year, and this kind of treatment is only a silver coin!?

If this specification is placed in modern times, it will not cost more than 20,000 yuan in half a month, and the hospital must have a good conscience!

With emotion at the low cost of hospitals in this era, Shen Yun and Fang Cheng slowly walked back to the dormitory.

When passing by the Imperial Square, Shen Yun looked at the angry statue of the general, and couldn't help but ask, "Brother Teng Yu, who is that statue?" ”

Fang Cheng carried Shen Yun's salute, and when he heard him ask, he immediately stood still, bowed solemnly to the sculpture, and then said, "That's our Great Han Holy Ancestor Emperor!" Nowadays, everything here was established by the Holy Ancestor Emperor. The glory of the Han Empire today was also created by His Majesty the Holy Ancestor Emperor! He is one of the greatest emperors in the world--- there is no one! ”

Fang Cheng looked pious, and that kind of fanaticism and respect was something Shen Yun had never seen in this era.

Fang Cheng turned his head and said, "Yuan Rang, if someone asks you like this in the future, you must also bow to His Majesty the Holy Ancestor first, and then tell him about the greatness of the Holy Ancestor Emperor!" ”

It's not a consultation, it's like an order.

It seems that the Holy Ancestor Emperor is an existence that cannot be desecrated in Fang Cheng's mind. As high as a god!

Shen Yun also noticed that every student who passed by the statue of the Holy Ancestor Emperor would slow down intentionally or unintentionally, and bend down imperceptibly! This has simply become the habit of all Han people!

Holy Ancestor Emperor? Was he the one who built such a modern empire?

Shen Yun suddenly showed a hint of a smile, and in a flash, he understood a little, this maverick, who did not wear an imperial robe to stand as a statue, but wore a general's uniform to make the world remember, must be from the modern era like him! Also a traveler!

For the traversing predecessors who single-handedly created such a great empire, Shen Yun, a latecomer, maintained enough respect. Although his calf still hurt a little, he still bowed deeply to the statue with his hand on his chest!

…………………… Dividing line ........................

Everything is still the same in the dormitory, the only difference is that there are a lot of cotton wool in the wooden cabinet at the head of the bed. This was brought back by Medical Officer Lin when he was discharged from the hospital, and Shen Yun's injury still needed to be medicated for a while before it could heal.

He Kuan and Dou Xian were also in the dormitory today, and when they saw Shen Yun coming back, they all jumped out of bed with a smile, and carried him to the edge of the bed and sat down like an old man.

"Hehe, you don't have to do this, his injuries are not so serious!" Fang Cheng said to He Kuan and Dou Xian while helping Shen Yun pack his things.

Shen Yun is also very curious about what the charm of his predecessor is, he is the image of a prodigal boy outside, and he has no close friends. But in the bedroom, he is very popular, whether it is Fang Cheng, a child of the family, or He Kuan, who is a commoner, Dou Xian is very close to him. That kind of strong friendship with classmates is one of the most cherished feelings in Shen Yun's last life, and it is also the first warmth he has experienced in this life!

At this time, there was a knock on the door, Fang Cheng stepped forward to open the door, and said in surprise, "It's you?" ”

"Who?" Shen Yun turned his head to look, and saw a man with a majestic figure, like an iron tower King Kong, blocking the door like a shield from the sky. Two thick eyebrows are like two watermelon knives pointing straight to the sky.

"Wang Rong?!" Shen Yun instantly remembered that this person was the son of Wang Shangshu who challenged him in the martial arts competition, why did he come?

Wang Rong was wearing a strong suit, his elbows and knees were wrapped in soft armor, and after seeing Shen Yun, he said in a buzzing voice: "Shen Yuanrang, I heard that you were discharged from the hospital today, so I came to see you." I admire you for saving your father-in-law that day, but one yard is one yard, and our competition will still be held after you are healed. I specially brought you the best Yunnan Baiyao today, you can use it or not! Hope you get well soon! ”

After speaking, Wang Rong turned around and left. The movements are clean and clean, without muddy. From the time he knocked on the door to the time he left, it didn't take more than a minute before and after, and it was simply to the extreme.

Shen Yun even noticed that the expression on his face hadn't even changed when he spoke, just like a robot that transmitted sounds!

This, what is this? Demonstrations? Not like! Since it's not a demonstration, it's a gesture of goodwill, right? Shen Yun looked at Fang Cheng who was pinching Yunnan Baiyao with a wry smile on his face, and he almost laughed out loud.

"This Wang Rong doesn't seem to be very good at expressing his meaning!" Shen Yun took the Yunnan Baiyao in Fang Transcript's hand and said.

He Kuan said: "Do you really use the medicine he sent?" ”

"Yes, why not? This is medicine from the opponent! It is said in the books that sometimes the best thing for you is not your friend, but your enemy! Shen Yun opened it with a grin, and a familiar smell of herbs came to his face.

Dou Xian held his chin and muttered, "Which book did you say this?" How I haven't seen it! ”

"Hey, there are a few books before you......"

"Huh?" The three of them looked at him suspiciously at the same time, Shen Yun knew that he had said something wrong, and held Yunnan Baiyao and said, "That, who will help me put it on?" ”

(Note: The real Yunnan Baiyao was successfully developed by Qu Huanzhang, a Yunnan folk doctor, in 1902, and was mainly used to treat bruises, wounds and bleeding.) As for why it appeared here, everyone should have invented it in advance by the Holy Ancestor Emperor! )

"By the way, I want to know more about the Holy Ancestor Emperor, can any of you tell me about it? Zida, listen to your tone, you have read a lot of books, tell me about it? After applying the medicine, Shen Yun's curious mind came up again.

Dou Xian was also quite excited, as if any student of the Imperial University would be excited as long as he mentioned the Holy Ancestor Emperor, but he opened his mouth, as if he didn't know where to start, like a ventilated toad, he opened his mouth without making a sound.

"You mean!"

Fang Cheng put the medicine and said with a smile: "Don't be embarrassed." Any of us can say a few paragraphs about the Holy Ancestor Emperor, but if you want to listen to the whole story, then you have to ask your fellow students majoring in history! ”

He Kuan also said: "Yes, I learned copywriting, and Zida learned the Book of Changes, but I can't tell you the deeds of the Holy Ancestor Emperor in a comprehensive and complete way!" ”

"And who do we know who is studying history?" Shen Yun asked.

Dou Xian finally interjected and said, "Yan Ruyue is studying history, doesn't she often come to see you?" Just ask her and you're done! ”

This surprised Shen Yun--- if he had glasses. Such a delicate beauty actually studied history? Damn, it's really unseemly! Or is history a major in this era very popular?

The four of them were talking, and it was already afternoon. He Kuan and Dou Xian both went to class, and Fang Cheng also said that there was a "Analects" class that must be taken today, so he packed up and prepared to leave.

Only Shen Yun was left alone on the bed in a daze, and said quietly: "Brother Teng Yu, what do you say my father came to Kyoto to do inexplicably?" ”

"How is it inexplicable, Lord Saijiu is the mentor of his uncle, his old man unfortunately passed away, he is a disciple, and it is common sense to come to mourn! Besides, every three years, marquis from all over the country will enter Beijing to pay homage to the saints, which is a tradition! When you and I first entered the school, my uncle came here once, and it will be exactly three years after a while...... Ah, my father is coming! Oh no, I don't know if the second brother will come, I have to be laughed to death by him for my riding and archery skills now! No, from today onwards, I'm going to the racecourse to practice for a while after class in the evening! ”

Fang Cheng muttered for a long time, then picked up the book and rushed out of the bedroom, leaving only one sentence from afar: "There is food at the bedside, eat first when you are hungry, I may come back later in the evening......"

Shen Yun lay alone on the bed in a daze. No matter how hard he tried to think about it, the image of Bohai Hou could not form a clear concept in his mind.

Through the small talk during this time, Shen Yun knew from Fang Cheng that the Han Empire was divided into official lords and military lords, nine official titles, and five superior lords, duke, marquis, earl, son, and male, and those who had made meritorious contributions to the empire could be canonized. The four honors, hairpins, lu, and quasi-knighthoods, can be obtained by donating a sufficient amount of money.

Today the empire has sixty-one dukes, one hundred and twenty-six marquises, and two hundred and seventy counts. They are all hereditary titles. These dukes and counts formed large families in various places, and the basis of the empire's rule was also these dukely families. And viscounts and barons are not hereditary.

As for the military lord Fang Cheng himself, he didn't know very well, but he knew that it seemed to be divided into twenty levels, and he didn't know much about how to subdivide it.

In the feudal era, having an official means being superior. But not every descendant of a family can inherit the title.

Or take Fang Transcript's Huainan Hou family as an example. This generation of Huainan Marquis Fang has a total of four sons, the eldest son Fang Ke has died, and the second son Fang Xiao has become the son who inherited the title. Ji Zi Fang Meng and his youngest son Fang Cheng could not inherit the title, and after the eighteen-year-old adult crown ceremony, they had to live alone and become Han commoners. The family will give him some of the money to start a family, and the rest will have to rely on himself. If any family did not follow this tradition, they would not only be despised by the other families, but would also be punished by the laws of the Empire. This is similar to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's edict to the vassal kings of various places. It restricts the expansion of the rights of the clans in various places.

Of course, all this had nothing to do with Shen Yun. Although he is the eldest son, the eldest son is the eldest son, and the imperial law stipulates that as long as he is the eldest son, he can inherit the family title regardless of his concubine. However, another news that Fang Cheng inadvertently revealed made him a little uneasy--- imperial law also stipulates that the head of the family has the right to decide the ownership of the son!

Taking the Huainan Hou family as an example, Fang Cheng's second brother Fang Xiao is also the son of the Huainan Hou family, but he did not leave home to study at the Imperial University, but studied at Huainan University, which is the closest to his home. Generally speaking, the major families will take care of the son, and in addition to the necessary training, they will try to keep it by the side of the head of the family.

Bohai County is thousands of miles away from Kyoto, why did Shen Mu send himself to the Imperial University to study? Bohai County also has a Bohai University with good conditions! Thinking of his younger brother Shen He, whom he had never met, Shen Yun felt an invisible sense of crisis enveloping him.

People have desires. Shen Yun is no exception. Since he has become Shen Yun and is the heir of a big family, he naturally doesn't want to be erased for no reason.

…………………… Dividing line ........................

I don't know how long I lay down, Shen Yun felt thirsty. So he got up to fetch water, but found that Fang Cheng had prepared everything for him, except for no water. I remember that there was a well downstairs in the dormitory, and the students went there to get the water for the entire dormitory building. Originally, he wanted to boil up again, maybe He Kuan and Dou Xian would come back later, but he was really thirsty, so he picked up the copper cups and bowls, and limped downstairs to fetch water.

It's class time, and it's quiet in the dormitory. Walking up the wooden staircase, there was a creaking sound. The sound echoed in the empty corridor, revealing a boundless silence.

Downstairs is a small hall with a bronze mirror. There are no janitors of modern universities, and there are not so many college students who don't attend classes and play games. Outside the hall is a gravel-paved meadow, and in the middle of the meadow an ancient well made of blue-brown stones appears.

The grass around the well grows very luxuriantly, and there are special people to clean it every month, but the tenacious grass roots still stubbornly grow upward, the roots are verdant, pointing to the sky, trying their best to show the world their slender but unyielding figure!

Shen Yun, who had walked a little bit of the way, was sweating, and the injury was too painful. He slowly walked to the well, picked up the bucket on the side and threw it into the well, there was a "bang" sound, and a cool water vapor suddenly surged up, making Shen Yun feel a kind of comfort that penetrated people's hearts.

Shen Yun struggled to pull up the rope, but just as the bucket was halfway up, his left leg, which was dotted on the edge of the well, suddenly slipped away.

"Bang" "Bang"......

"Damn, even you can't get along with Lao Tzu!" Shen Yun, who fell to the ground, almost exploded his lungs, "Lao Tzu doesn't believe in this evil, can't even beat a bucket of water!" ”

As he spoke, he gritted his teeth and stood up, regardless of the gauze still wrapped in his calves, he stood by the well in a posture of riding a horse and squatting on his crotch, and then lifted the bucket with all his strength. The excessive force caused the gauze tied to his calf to bounce away instantly, and the red blood had already soaked the medical cotton under the gauze......

The bucket full of water collided with the wall of the well, the rope began to swing irregularly, and Shen Yun was about to fall, at this moment, a pair of hands suddenly held Shen Yun's back and held him up, and at the same time, a soft female voice sounded in his ears: "If you are injured, don't do it!" It's so pitiful that it makes people feel distressed! ”

Shen Yun turned around, it was Yan Ruyue with clear eyes like water!

PS: This chapter has a lot of background foreshadowing, which may be a bit boring, but there will be a good show starting tomorrow.

By the way, I also injured my leg for a while in the next year, and I also fell when I went to the well to fetch water, and then there was a person who supported my back...... However, what appeared in my ears was not a soft female voice, but an old farmer who carried water, and said in a rough voice: "You are a lady, if you can't mention it, you have to mention it!" Let your adults come and ......."

Woo, I was twenty years old at the time...... Tears run......

Finally ask for a ticket!
