Tang, Yamato 9, end of August.

The continuous autumn rain dispelled the high temperature and scorching heat of Chang'an City for more than a month. The almost dry lotus pond in the back garden of the Marquis of Xining is rippling in autumn at this time, moistened by the rain, and the weeping willows on the shore have also taken off their old clothes and changed into new green.

On the path paved with blue bricks by the lotus pond, two little maids chased and frolicked while sweeping the fallen leaves.

Meng Xifan walked leisurely along the path, and after more than a month of careful recuperation, his body has recovered, and he has gradually adapted to his new identity - Yang Hao, the young master of Xining Houfu.

The two little maids who swept the floor saw the young master coming over, and hurriedly stepped forward to bow and salute. Yang Hao was very disgusted with these red tape, he waved his hand, and said impatiently: "Where did so many rules come from? Get up. The two little maidens stood up, but they still kept their heads down and did not dare to move. Yang Hao shook his head helplessly and walked over.

The green-skirted maid looked at Yang Hao's distant back, and said excitedly: "The young man is sick, it's like a different person, and his temper is much better." The maid in the red dress said disapprerovingly: "But he is much more stupid, he doesn't even know who the current emperor is." Ridiculous, you say? The two little maids covered their mouths and snickered when they said this.

Yang Hao really didn't know who the current emperor was. In middle school, he was very interested in history classes, and several textbooks were torn. Later, he went to a science and engineering university, and his major had nothing to do with history, but under the influence of his mother, who was an associate professor in the history department, he still read some history books. About the Tang Dynasty, he doesn't seem to be a stranger, he has turned a lot of books of various types, but when he uses it, he realizes that he still knows too little, too rough, and widespread.

It is now August of the ninth year of Yamato, and "Yamato" is the name of Tang Wenzong, what is Tang Wenzong's name? The year of his birth and death, and what achievements did he have during his reign? What's at fault? What major historical events took place during his administration? …… Yang Hao knew almost nothing. What kind of history is this? Yang Hao remembered that he had turned over a book called "History Can't Bear to Look Closely", and what he wanted to say now was that history must be carefully read and looked at, otherwise it would be better not to read it, especially for a time-traveler like himself, who couldn't even figure out the era in which he lived, and hoped to do something earth-shattering to change the course of history.

"Li Shimin, Wu Zetian, Tang Xuanzong, Yang Guifei, Zhenguan Zhizhi, Daming Palace, Kaiyuan Shengshi, Anshi Rebellion, Manna Change, Zhu Wen ......" Yang Hao tried to search every detail about the Tang Dynasty in his memory, and then recorded it, hoping to find something valuable from it. But he was disappointed by the results, and the messy, fragmentary, and indistinguishable things in his memories seemed useless. Whether it is because he does not read history in detail and does not understand the true meaning, or whether the level of the author is not good, and he reads history, Yang Hao does not know. In order to be a qualified subject of the Tang Dynasty, he had to bite the bullet and gnaw on those thread-bound books.

It doesn't matter if the book is threaded or glued, the key is the text in the book, although it is also square Chinese characters, but the color is all traditional characters, and people who look at it at a glance are dizzy. What's even more maddening is that there is no punctuation throughout the text, which is not a big problem for people with a solid foundation in ancient literature, but Yang Hao secretly complained in his heart: After so many years, he has been busy memorizing ABC, and his own language and writing have been thrown to Java.

Yang Hao had no choice but to learn from scratch, it was good to be a prince and a child, the house set up a private school, and hired three teachers to sit in the hall, Yang Hao could ask them for advice at any time. After all, Chinese civilization has been passed down from generation to generation, and in just one month's work, Yang Hao has roughly mastered the skill of sentence breaking. As for the traditional characters in the book, Yang Hao also roughly found the internal connection with the simplified characters, many words dare not say that they can be written, but it is no longer a problem to recognize them.

At first, Yang Hao paid attention to his words and deeds, and was afraid that if he was careless, he would reveal his flaws and make people realize that he was a parallel import. But it didn't take long for him to realize that his worries were completely unfounded. His predecessor got rid of a gentleman who didn't learn and behaved perversely. Any weird behavior of his is normal in the eyes of his family and friends.

He fights with you, and you can't drink him, and he wants to stab you, saying that he wants to punish you; If you drink him, he will stab you and say that you have bullied him. The slave girl in the family, he stretches out his hand to beat, raises his leg and kicks, and presses it on the bed. is with his old lady, Mrs. Zhang, that is also to say that if you turn your face, you will turn your face.

It's okay to be perverse just in his behavior, and the audience means that most of the young masters of the Hou Mansion have a bad head. For example, if you ask him, "Which weighs a pound of cloth or a pound of iron?" He would reply, "You fool?" Naturally, it weighs a pound of iron! ”

Because of this, Yang Hao's unreasonable performance when he first woke up did not attract the attention and suspicion of others at all. This allowed him to complete the transformation of his role in life without haste.

To the south of the lotus pond is a forest of osmanthus flowers. The drought for three consecutive months has made this year's osmanthus bloom much less than in previous years, but it is still fragrant in the osmanthus forest. The fly in the ointment is that there is too much rain on the leaves of the osmanthus tree, and it is all wet after a few steps in the forest.

Passing through the osmanthus forest, there is a mound in front of you, and it is amazing that there is a small tea garden on the mound. Chang'an's climate has long winters and short summers, dry and cold, and little rain, which is not suitable for the growth of tea trees. However, the tea leaves produced in this tea garden in Xining Houfu are not used for drinking, but for making a fragrance.

Yang Hao knew that there was a workshop specializing in making spices in Fuzhong, and the spices produced were of high quality and variety, except for a small part for personal use, most of them were used as gifts to relatives and friends.

The Xining Hou Mansion was first built 17 years ago. That year, the combined forces of Tubo and Nanzhao besieged Chengdu, and Yang Qing, who was then the general of the Right Guard, was ordered to lead an army of 20,000 troops thousands of miles into Sichuan to help. Under the city of Chengdu, he fought fiercely with the allied forces of the two countries for many months and broke it.

The good news came, the government and the opposition were shaken, and Emperor Xianzong Li Chunlong Yan Dayue issued an edict to enshrine Yang Qing as the Marquis of Xining, and built a mansion of the Marquis of Xining, with a bounty of 1,000 taels and 1,000 acres of fertile land. It's a pity that the mansion has not yet been completed, but Yang Qing died of illness under the city of Shouzhou, Huainan.

When Yang Hao was fifteen years old, he followed the rules to join the army by riding Cao from the eighth right guard. The left and right guards were the first of the twelve guards of the southern government of the Tang Dynasty, and the military system of the government collapsed after the middle and Tang dynasties, and the twelve guards were in vain, becoming a place for the parasitic pension of meritorious nobles.

Yang Hao joined the army for more than a year, and only went to the government office three times. The first time was to get it, the second time was to get it, and the third time was to get it. Later, Yang Hao didn't even bother to get it, and he was never seen in the right guard camp again.

On the east side of the tea garden is a quiet courtyard, the courtyard door is open to the west, which is Yang Hao's practice room. As a general, Yang Hao can not study, but he can't not practice martial arts. He began martial arts training at the age of four and continued uninterrupted for twelve years. Chang'an's prodigal disciples gave Yang Hao the nickname "Dumb Overlord", "Stupid" means that others are not smart enough, and "Overlord" says that he has good kung fu. Before Yang Hao fell into a coma, he often ran rampant in Chang'an with the children of the princes, they called themselves the "Eight Horses of Chang'an", but the people secretly called them "The Eight Evils of Chang'an".

Yang Hao pushed open the door of the practice room and walked into this quiet courtyard. There was only one weapon on the weapon rack that greeted the door - the gun. "The stick is the ancestor of a hundred soldiers, and the gun is the overlord of the army", it is not easy to practice a gun, but after training, it is amazingly powerful. According to legend, Zhao Zilong, a famous general of the Three Kingdoms, and Yue Wumu, who were loyal to the country, were all masters of making guns.

The gun used by Yang Hao is about two meters long, and the barrel of the gun is oiled with tung oil, which is slippery but not slippery, and it fits very well. The big gun weighs about 20 catties, and it is not difficult to pick it up, but Yang Hao is worried that he can't dance it, after all, he is a "dumb overlord" who has been practicing hard for more than ten years, and will he keep more than ten years of hard work to himself?

However, once the spear was in hand, Yang Hao immediately realized that his worries were completely unnecessary. A wonderful warm current emerged from the dantian, quickly flowing through every pore of the body, and every muscle was full of vitality at this time, as if it was going to move on its own, and the gun in his hand suddenly came to life. All kinds of moves are clearly engraved in my mind at this time, as if I am writing my own name, and it is easy and effortless.

Yang Hao couldn't help laughing, although the "Dull Overlord" is not in a thousand ways, but he has an extremely valuable quality - generosity, he left his body, identity, notoriety and martial arts to himself, and did not make any reservations. Yang Hao raised his head to the blue sky and silently thanked the spirit of the "dumb overlord" in the sky.

Someone at the gate of the courtyard suddenly smiled and said, "So you are here." ”

It was Mrs. Zhang's personal maid Xiao Yu, who was sixteen years old this year, with a round face, a plump and round figure, smooth and delicate skin, and two cute little tiger teeth when she smiled.

Yang Hao put away the spear, wiped the sweat with his sleeve, and asked, "Do you have something to do with me?" ”

"What do you say, Madame has asked me to wait on you. What should you do when you run here without a sound and dance with knives and guns, and you are tired? Xiao Yu said as he took out his handkerchief and handed it to Yang Hao.

"It's boring to stay alone in the house, so I go out for a walk. By the way, say hello to these old friends who have been reunited after a long absence. Let you miss it, and give you a companion. Yang Hao was reluctant to use her handkerchief, still wiping sweat with his sleeve.

"Yo, don't say that, I can't stand it." Xiao Yu snatched back his handkerchief from Yang Hao's hand as he spoke, and clenched it in the palm of his hand vigorously, as if he was afraid that someone would snatch it away.

For more than a month, Yang Hao has a general understanding of the situation of the Xining Hou Mansion, which is located in the noble residential area of Chang'an City, which covers an area of nearly 100 acres, in addition to Mrs. Zhang and herself, there are also forty-three slaves, about half of men and women. The same is a slave, but the status is not the same, the three housekeepers have the highest status, in addition to the number of maids in the inner courtyard is high, among which Mrs. Zhang's two personal maids are the most, one of these two is called Qing'er, and the other is the little fish in front of him.

In the first few days after Yang Hao woke up, Qing'er served in front of the bed, Qing'er was two years older than Xiaoyu, and her stature was slightly taller, but she was thin and scary, like an unknotted bamboo pole, straight up and down. Her skin was white and dull. Xiao Yu's tone of voice is tactful and gentle, and his facial expression is also full of changes. Qing'er speaks coldly and bluntly, not only does she speak coldly, but her gaze is always cold, with a posture of rejecting people thousands of miles away.

Yang Hao didn't like Qing'er's cold eyes very much, and sometimes he even felt inexplicably nervous when talking to her. Maybe Mrs. Zhang also saw this, so Xiaoyu soon replaced Qing'er. Xiaoyu is lively and gentle, and empathetic, Yang Hao does not have any psychological pressure in front of her. The two soon became inseparable and talked about everything.

"I don't know something, please give me advice."

"Don't dare to teach, know everything, say everything."

"Qing'er, have I offended her before? Why does she always look at me weirdly? Yang Hao said a question that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.

"You can't remember?" Xiao Yu's expression was very strange.

"You can forget about it." Xiao Yu suddenly became excited, "You forgot last year's June 8, your birthday?" After drinking a little wine, you borrowed alcohol to go crazy, what did you do to other people? It's a shame that Qing'er is a cold-faced and hot-hearted person, so it's me ......" Speaking of this, Xiaoyu's words came to an abrupt end, and her cheeks flushed.

She took a deep breath and said viciously, "If it were me, I would cut off that scourge and see that you can still harm people in the future." Xiaoyu's mood was very excited, and her full chest rose and fell sharply.

Yang Hao can already guess the general idea of the matter: the dumb overlord has strong sexual intentions after drinking/raping Qing'er, Qing'er has a pair of scissors in her hand, she had the opportunity to ×× Yang Hao's ○○, but she didn't do it. In order to defend her chastity, she chose to commit suicide.

Qing'er and Xiaoyu are both slaves and maids of the Xining Hou Mansion, and the slaves and maids are different from the servants hired from outside, they have no independent personality, and the honor and disgrace of life and death are all decided by the master. Their only chance is to be accepted as a concubine by their master, and the concubine is essentially a slave, but she is finally half a master, if her belly can earn a little more gas, she will survive in this life.

But Qing'er would rather die than be humiliated! This made Yang Hao quite emotional, he didn't expect the seemingly weak Qing'er to be so strong.

"What a bastard! I'm damned! Yang Hao slapped himself twice, with a painful expression. Yang Hao's strange behavior made Xiaoyu both moved and distressed, what moved her was that after Yang Hao fell seriously ill, people became kind and responsible, and the distressing thing was that he tortured himself so much, in case he was injured, how could it be good.

Xiao Yu grabbed Yang Hao's hand and persuaded with tears: "It's over, don't blame yourself too much." Sooner or later, the two of us won't be your people, and won't we both be the same sooner or later? Xiao Yu had tears in his eyes and continued: "I just hope that for the sake of our hard work for more than ten years, don't do us too much." ”

Yang Hao took Xiao Yu's hand and swore: "Don't worry, I will definitely treat the two of you well, just like my own sister." ”

"Who's your sister?" Xiao Yu's face suddenly turned cold, "Your sister is in Mengzhou's hometown." If you let her know that you call someone else's sister indiscriminately, be careful not to peel off your skin. ”

Yang Hao was stunned for a while, he had never heard that he had a sister. Xiao Yu looked at his stunned expression, couldn't help but smile, and said: "You are not afraid of heaven and earth, and you will be scared when you hear a flower in Mengzhou." ”

Yang Hao was immediately interested when he heard this, and he was about to ask what was going on, when there was a sudden noise outside the hospital.
