The letter that was found out, the person who signed it was called Sun Jiabu, and when he looked at it, Zhou Jin knew that his word was Renda. After a lot of effort, Zhou Jin finally understood the gist of the letter.

According to the content of the letter, it is now the tenth year of Chongzhen, and it can be roughly deduced from the height of the sun outside the window and the time in the letter. In the letter, this Sun Gabu also scolded Huang Taiji for conquering Phi Island. Zhou Jin had been to Jingshan Park behind the Forbidden City, where there was a sign that said Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself.

So no matter how bad his history is, he knows what this era is like. A few bands of bandits plundered like locusts, and the land they passed was either carried away or wiped out by armed peasants. And those who followed them were never able to feed the court eagle dogs. In addition, there was a wolf-like barbaric Manchu outside the pass. In short, this is an era when human life is cheaper than dogs, dogs can eat, but what about people? Maybe you can eat it too.

It took Zhou Jin about half an hour to figure out the meaning of the letter of less than 800 words. The rest of the letter is nothing more than a record of what Sun Gabu has seen

, but this information is of no use to him now.

Zhou Jin planned to leave the bedroom and look in the outer room to see if he could find any useful clues.

The south-facing main house is a three-bay room, Zhou Jin's bedroom is located on the east side, with a living room in the middle and a study room on the west side. There are no useful clues in the living room except for the table and chairs. There is a large desk in the center of the study facing south, a huge bookshelf behind the desk, a cabinet attached to the wall on the west wall, and a bonsai on the east side. In the left front of the desk is a vase filled with scrolls. In the study, it took Zhou Jin a long time to find a few pages of draft personal notes in a box.

First glance at the payment, it is written Jiujiang Zhoujin. Zhou Jin laughed in his heart when he saw this payment, this person is also called Zhou Jin, with the same name as him. As he read more articles, Zhou Jin gradually adapted to the trouble of traditional Chinese and no punctuation, and his reading speed became faster. Fortunately, Zhou Jin's literary cultivation has not been completely lost, and he can know the general content of these notes. Most of these notes are reading notes and essays, and there is no personal information recorded. Now what Zhou Jin wants to find most is a diary and something like that.

After all, this is only the Zhou Mansion Annex, and it was only built here to facilitate Zhou to enter the White Deer Cave Academy to study. Just when Zhou Jin was about to give up, in the waste paper pile, Zhou Jin finally turned to an article.

This is a draft of the sacrifice text, only half written, and only the life of the sacrificer is written. The memorial text is to commemorate a general sentence of Anqing Mansion named Li Chengkong, who died of illness on November 16 in the first year of Taichang. Because Li Chengkong originally confirmed the marriage contract with Zhou Jin's father, when Li Chengkong was seriously ill and had no close relatives to trust, he sent Li Yu, who was only nine years old, to Zhou's family.

In the sacrificial text, it is said that Zhou Jin is two years older than Li Yu, and this is the tenth time, so after all, Li Yu is nineteen years old this year, and it may be that Li girl. Then Zhou Jin is twenty-one years old. Zhou Jin knew that in ancient times, due to the high mortality rate, they usually got married at the age of fifteen or sixteen, but these two people are about twenty years old, but they have not officially married, which is puzzling.

Judging from the attitude of that Aunt You, it turned out that Zhou Jin was most likely having an affair with her. And that Aunt You unscrupulously dared to appear in front of Li Yu**, proving that Zhou Jin's relationship with him was not so good. There may be other reasons for this.

There was no other useful information in the sacrificial texts, so Zhou Jin had to continue to ponder the essays, wanting to understand the personality of this person, so that he could deduce his behavioral characteristics.

Zhou Jin picked up a few more notes and read them, judging from the text, this original Zhou Jin was a typical Ming Dynasty reader. They are ambitious, haughty, and radical, but they are not very powerful.

After a while, Li Yu walked into the study and held a dinner plate in his hand, with a white sand sauce and a small bowl on the plate. He looked at the girl with a plump body and dignified and beautiful features. I thought that this girl was so delicious, but Zhou Jin had to ripen that day, and she really lost the watermelon and picked up the sesame seeds. Of course, judging from the fact that he can write a sacrificial text for Li Yu's father, his character is not bad, he only likes this kind of thing, who doesn't order it.

Zhou Jin said: "It's uncomfortable to lie down, so look at the book." ”

Li Yu put the dinner plate on the square table next to the official hat chair by the window, and said, "Well, you eat the porridge with bamboo shoots and belly slices I just boiled." ”

Zhou Jin was indeed hungry and immediately sat aside. Li Yu served a bowl, the porridge was very delicious, and the bamboo shoots were boiled to a thin scale, which was very delicious. After he finished eating one bowl, he was about to make a second bowl himself, but he saw Li Yu looking at him and felt uncomfortable.

Zhou Jin asked, "Have you eaten it?" Do you want to eat some too? ”

Li Yu had already had lunch, so he refused. Zhou Jin was no longer polite, and after a while, the whole porridge was eaten by him. Due to the panic, I had to stand up and rest on the back of the chair.

Li Yu was taken aback when he saw him finish eating, he used to eat two bowls at most, but today he ate them all, is he really evil, I don't know if I am hungry. She smiled and asked, "Have you eaten yet?" ”

Zhou Jin touched his stomach and said, "I'm full, I'm still a little supportive, I haven't eaten since morning, I'm really hungry." ”

Li Yu thought to himself, didn't I prepare an early meal for you, didn't you eat: "You didn't eat early?" ”

Zhou Jin heard her ask this, and thought, yes, this is a big family, how could he not be prepared early. After thinking about it for a while, he said calmly: "I didn't pay attention at the time, and I was robbed by my classmates." Zhou Jin thought to himself, you will never ask someone if you robbed her earlier.

After Li Yu heard this, he didn't have any doubts, and asked, "I think, if you fall into the water today, you should rest for a few days, and don't go to the academy tomorrow." ”

Zhou Jin thought to himself, if you don't go to the academy to stay at home, and contact with these people who are very familiar with you, you will leak stuffing sooner or later, and after all, your classmates have a degree of communication, you can hold it, you can stay away, and people just think that you are evil and your brain is not normal. If you don't do anything strange, they'll just watch and won't bother you. When the family sees that you are abnormal, they will care, and then they will find a goddess to toss you.

Zhou Jin said: "I still have to go tomorrow, just take a cold shower, and I don't need to rest." ”

Hearing Zhou Jin say this, Li Yu didn't say anything anymore, cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks and took them out.

After Li Yu left, Zhou Jin rested for a while, and remembered another thing, that is, the language problem. It's not a dialect, because Zhou Jin's mother is from Jiujiang, and Zhou Jin can speak Jiujiang and other local dialects. But after all, he is a modern person, and it turns out that Zhou Jin is a scholar in ancient times, and there must be a lot of people in his words.

Zhou Jin thought about it for a long time, but he didn't find a good way, so he had to read more ancient books and let himself fall into it, and he would naturally be edified. The so-called familiar with 300 Tang poems, can not make poems and can chant.

Zhou Jin's learning ability is still very strong, and this look will not end until dinner.

The next day, after Zhou Jin was ready, he was ready to go to the academy. But as soon as he walked to the door, a carriage drove over, and a middle-aged man in a dark robe sat on the car. Zhou Tong, who was next to Zhou Jin, had already greeted the middle-aged man in dark clothes when he saw him and greeted: "Second housekeeper, why are you here?" ”

The second steward placed a bench beside the carriage, then lifted the curtain and said, "When the lord heard your news, he immediately rushed over. ”

After Zhou Jin heard the second housekeeper speak, he guessed that most of the men in the car were the head of the Zhou family, so he immediately walked over, and looked like in the costume drama and shook his head at the car: "Father!" ”

At this time, a man in his forties wearing a golden robe with a regimental collar came out of it, looked at Zhou Jin and asked, "Fourth, yesterday Zhou Tong sent a message saying that you fell into the well, so I rushed over, do you feel unwell now?" ”

Zhou Jin replied: "Father, I am fine now. ”

The head of the Zhou family looked at Zhou Jin for a long time and said, "In a few days, there will be a cultural meeting in Gantang Lake, you will go back with me today and prepare well." After he finished speaking, without waiting for Zhou Jin's reaction, he asked the second housekeeper to enter the house and inform the rest of the people to prepare to go back.

Half an hour later, the two carriages left the courtyard and rushed towards Jiujiang Fucheng. In the afternoon, the carriage entered Jiujiang City from Nanxun Gate and soon arrived in front of the Zhou Mansion Gate.

After Zhou Jin got off the car, he saw that the gate of Zhou's mansion was about one zhang wide, with two door stalls inlaid on the lintel, and two stone drums under the door post. Zhou Jinna knew what these meant, and walked straight up the two steps to enter the gate. Bypassing the wall and passing through the instrument gate, you can see the Zhoufutang House, a tall house with five bays.

The eldest man of the Zhou family just walked into the courtyard and said to Zhou Jin, who was following: "You go back to the courtyard first, change your clothes, and wait to see your mother." ”

I'm blind next week, thinking that I actually have a single yard, how big is this week's house, where should I go? Zhou Jin peeked around while taking advantage of the situation, and finally saw the corner gates on both sides of the square.

The head of the Zhou family nodded, and then entered the main house, Zhou Jin had no choice but to enter the corner door, in front of which was a corridor, and there were courtyards on both sides. He pretended to walk forward, and after passing the second door, there were two girls standing at the door, and when they saw him, they ran over: "Young master, you are finally back." ”

Zhou Jin laughed and said with a smile: "I'm back." It's back. ”

The second housekeeper next to him urged: "Young master, go back to the room quickly, Madame is still waiting." ”

Zhou Jin thought to himself, do you need to be in such a hurry? But without much thought, he followed the two girls back to his yard. At the door of the courtyard there are also the words "enter the school",

Somehow, I only felt a lot of pressure in my heart. Look at the domineering leakage of words, ten ** is written by Master Zhou himself.

Back in the house, the two girls named Huan'er and Qingyun were about to change Zhou Jin's clothes, but they were kicked out by the second official's family, and then locked Zhou Jin in the house, and shouted to let Zhou Jin feel at ease, and let him out after the mage did it.

Zhou Jin was just thinking about having a good time with the two beautiful girls, but he was locked up at this time. I thought that if I came, I would be safe, just to see if there was any other information about myself in this room, so I didn't make any noise, and threw down a sentence: "You close it, I can read my book with peace of mind." And he went into the study,

Soon, there were more footsteps outside the house, and some people set up a table in the courtyard, on which a long table was placed, and incense and candles were placed on the table. After those people were done, Master Zhou accompanied a monk to the courtyard. After the two whispered something, the monk stepped onto the stage and danced the great god.
