The autumn rain is continuous, and the cicadas are poignant.

The cold wind mixed with the ice and rain seeped into the room through the cracks in the window paper, and poured on the body of the young man on the bed.

With a shudder, he opened his eyes and looked around with a little confusion - where was he lying?

Why did you wake up and sleep on someone else's couch?

He was originally the chief member of the Mensa China Club, and with his brilliant mind, he became the youngest executive of a foreign company.

However, under the seemingly beautiful appearance, his life was not going well. As an infant, he was abandoned by his biological parents and grew up in an orphanage.

This psychological shadow accompanied him until he grew up.

Lonely and lonely, alone, after work every day, all that awaits him is beer and cigarettes at home.

In order to forget about his loneliness, he can only work hard. However, the excessive pace of work has overdrawn his energy and made him exhausted his enthusiasm for life.

Every late at night, when he couldn't sleep, he sat on the sofa in the living room in a daze, wanting to change in his heart, fantasizing about changing the life of a big family, sisters and brothers, gathering together, lively exchanges, and living a slow-paced life of raising birds and flowers. But...... The family from which he was born is a foregone conclusion, which is obviously just a luxury.

However...... Now, it seems that fate has really changed......

He sat up slowly, looking at the furniture around him, the red lacquered wooden bed, the black lacquered snail seat, and the vases on the case, all of which were antique.

Could it be ...... Traveled back in time to antiquity yourself?

Looking at this decoration, it seems to be a big family.

Not only has the environment changed, but even his own age has been a round younger, and he has become an ancient youth of fifteen or sixteen years old. Being young filled his heart with joy, his lungs no longer hurt, his cervical spine no longer hurt, and his whole body was full of vitality.

He remembered an advertisement.

Twenty this year, eighteen next year.

It's just that...... He looked at the fabric on his body and frowned slightly. His old coarse cloth shirt seems to be very incompatible with this elegant furniture decoration.

Could it be ...... Are you a helper for a large family?

In the midst of suspicion, I could only hear the door open, and a middle-aged man's voice called: "Ming'er, you finally woke up, but your father is worried about death." ”

He turned his head and saw a middle-aged man in his forties walking in at the door, with a long face and a wide forehead, the green cloth clothes on his body were also tattered and old, and his beard was sloppy and unkempt.

Is this my dad? He raised his eyebrows, but this man was obviously dressed as a helper.

His head suddenly hurt, and in his brain, the memories of himself and this ancient young man seemed to be melting, but he didn't give him any clues for the time being.

He had to ask tentatively, "Dad, is this our home?" ”

The middle-aged man sniffed and said, "Ming'er, are you stupid with this fever?" This is, of course, our home. ”

"Then our family is also a big family?" He had some expectations in his heart, he was born in a big family, and he didn't suffer any loss when he came over.

The middle-aged man sat on the edge of the bed and said with foaming at the mouth: "Of course, our family is one of the few big families in the county. ”

"But Dad, since our family is a big family, why do we dress like this?" He wondered. In this TV series, shouldn't all big families be silk and satin?

When the middle-aged man heard this, his face was embarrassed, and he said, "Ming'er, you have to believe it...... This day will get better little by little. There is still the last amount of this gambling debt, and when it is over, our two will be liberated. Future...... It is bright and ambitious. ”

“……”

Pay off gambling debts? What's going on? What about the life of a rich man who is drunk and gold-obsessed?

He licked his lips and said unwillingly, "Dad, where is my mother?" ”

"Why did you mention this again?" The middle-aged man straightened his face, "I've said it many times, you slept in a bamboo cradle and put it at my door. How do I know who your mother is? He cocked his finger and said: "After so many years of touching and arranging, the emerald red of Bichun Courtyard can basically be ruled out, this is ...... The bright jade of the red courtyard can also be excluded. But next door Widow Lee ...... This one...... It's hard to say. The middle-aged man frowned, pinched his thighs and thought seriously.

“……”

"Ming'er, don't think Daddy is distracted. Compared with your uncle's three changes, I can be regarded as a decent gentleman. The middle-aged man said.

Three changes? He muttered to himself, how could this name be so familiar.

Three changes...... Willow...... Liu Sanchang!

Isn't this the original name of Yoo Yong? Didn't he go to the house of Liu Yong, the first merry scholar in the Northern Song Dynasty?

In an instant, the memory of this ancient young man in his mind suddenly became clear and came flooding back.

He did travel to the Liu family and became Liu Yong's nephew.

He knew that his name was Liu Ming, and he was the grandson of the Liu family in Fei County, Qingzhou, Jingdong Road, Northern Song Dynasty. This middle-aged man's name is Liu Yuanzhi, his father, and the second brother of Liu Yong, the big lyricist.

The Liu family has practiced medicine for generations, and the medical hall pharmacy has opened branches and leaves, and it is also all over this Fei County. It's just that although the Liu family has a big business, they don't have their share and their father's share.

His father Liu Yuanzhi, from the few words of dialogue just now, can also get a glimpse of the leopard. He has been a well-known gentleman in the county since he was a child, and he seems to have great ambitions, but he does not learn and has no skills, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling. The gambling debts are higher than the mountains, even if the Liu family is a big family in the county, they don't want to see Liu Yuanzhi sitting on the empty mountain and eating the ground, and driving him out of his house two years ago.

This Liu Yuanzhi loves his son, even if he is kicked out, he must bring his son with him if he says anything, otherwise he will not be able to live. So, the old and the young, wandered in all directions, and in the end, they were entangled but spent, thirsty for dew, tired of sleeping in the broken temple, and had no choice but to return to the house in disgrace.

As for himself, as soon as he arrived in the house, he had a high fever and fell asleep for several hours before waking up.

Liu Ming squinted his eyes at the corner of the room, and sure enough, he saw a pile of salute covers that he didn't have time to tidy up, and it seemed that he had really just arrived home.

"Ming'er, come...... Dad rubbed your legs for you, and you fell asleep. That Liu Yuanzhi habitually rested Liu Ming's leg on his lap and pressed it carefully with his heart.

Liu Ming looked at his father, cynical when he spoke, but when he pressed his legs for himself, he was surprisingly serious, and his movements were extremely natural, as if he often did this. A few more pictures flashed in his mind - when he was wandering outside with his father, whenever "himself" was sick and cold, this Liu Yuanzhi stayed by the bedside without sleep, feeding himself water with a nervous face, changing the wet wipes on his forehead, and accompanying him.

You must know that in ancient times, the ethics were clear, and the father was the son. Whether it is an official eunuch or a large private household, the father is in front of the son, putting on a majestic posture, and the cold face teaching is the norm, and few people can put down their face and take care of them in front of the bed and behind the bed.

Thinking of this, his heart warmed. No wonder, the "self" two years ago, even if he would rather leave the life of a big family, would rather go out with his father to starve and freeze. Although this Liu Yuanzhi is not serious, even though he has all kinds of shortcomings, he is sincere to himself.

The faint loss in Liu Ming's heart has slowly dissipated. In his previous life, he was alone and had never experienced any family affection. In this life, there is a relative who truly loves him.

"Daddy...... Don't rub it, beware of being tired. Liu Ming said softly. What is lacking is what he desires, and he cherishes this sudden family affection.

Liu Yuanzhi was stunned for a moment, his hand twitched, and then he sobbed: "Stinky boy, when will you be so considerate?" ”

"Dad, why are you crying like a woman?" Liu Ming said with a smile.

"Isn't it good to be like a woman?" Liu Yuanzhi said confidently, "Otherwise, who will make up for your worn soles and broken underwear?" It's not an old lady yet...... I bah...... Lao Tzu me? ”

Liu Ming slowly got out of bed with Liu Yuanzhi's support. Anyway, my body is still a little weak.

Slowly push open the door, the light is lit up, what catches your eye is a pool of lotus flowers in the courtyard, it is very quiet, all around is a color of willows, after the autumn rain washes, it is a week by the green wisps like smoke, and the green shade seems to be dyed in all directions.

Several thirteen or fourteen-year-old little maids, wearing milky white silk gowns, walked past Liu Ming with a chuckle, calling "young master" one by one.

Liu Ming smiled slightly, touched his chin, this is called...... How is it so comfortable?

At this time, the stove room in the east was in full swing, and the cooks and men were chopping wood and lighting the stove. On the west side of the lotus pond, gardeners and tenants are busy pruning the branches and leaves. The whole courtyard is full of people coming and going, and it is very lively.

Liu Ming looked around, took a deep breath and thought--this is the life he wants. No longer alone, no longer empty to the waning moon, lively and peaceful. To be able to live the life of such a large family, even if it is not bad to be an ancient.

At this time, a maid blessed Liu Yuanzhi and said, "Second master, lunch is ready, the old lady and the big shopkeeper invite you over." ”

Liu Yuanzhi took Liu Ming's hand and warned in a low voice: "Ming'er, it won't be long before we go home, as for the debts that Dad and I owe, don't let my family know, otherwise...... It's going to kick us out again. ”
