Chapter 1 Northern Song Dynasty
"Girl, my wife said that I hope that before the first day of August, the Ye family can send someone to the house. Miss will be fifteen years old soon, according to the customs of our Lin'an County, this Ye family's dowry should also be ......"
"But...... This little brother, please go back and talk to Master Cui, now the young master's situation, I'm afraid it won't get better before August. Besides...... Now that the Ye family is like this, it is really difficult to come up with so many dowries for a while. β
"This villain can't be controlled, my wife just asked the villain to sue sΓΉ, before August, it will be outdated! Let's see! β
The voice of the conversation in the hall was silent for a while, it was a man and a woman, the man's voice sounded high-pitched, as for the woman...... He had just woken up, frowning.
Red clothes, their own maids, and then ......
Where is this?
Looking at the room he was in, the quaint furniture combined with the memories in this body made him understand.
This...... It's not a dream, it's really crossed!
God, what are you kidding? Is it just because I gave you a middle finger when you were angry and thundered, and you chopped me here? Depend on...... Oh my God, can you have a sense of humor?
He has always considered himself an outstanding talent of the 21st century, and although he has achieved nothing in his life, he is also ambitious, pretentious, and often even despised.
In fact, there are many people like him, after all, he is just an ordinary person, but he was inexplicably sent to ancient times......
Could it be because I like history more?
Or is it ...... Jealous of talents?
He complained in his head, put his hands behind his head, stared at the roof with empty eyes, and then his mind raced to query and receive all the memories in this body.
First of all, his name is Ye Heng, and he is fourteen years old this year.
Is there any mistake?
Crossed into a Zhengtai? Belch...... No, it should be Xiao Langjun!
Ye Heng was a little speechless, and then learned about the information of this dynasty and his own situation.
First of all, it is now in the period of Renzong in the Northern Song Dynasty, the eighth year of Tiansheng, that is, the famous 'two saints' period in history, after the death of Renzong's Laozi Zhenzong, the Empress Dowager Liu E took control of the government, but generally speaking, this is still a peaceful and happy era.
It seems that his luck is not bad, Ye Heng nodded, but the next thing about the Ye family made him helpless.
The Ye family used to be a big family in Lin'an County, but Ye Heng's father was not angry, and he failed the imperial examination repeatedly, but he did not give up, he was nostalgic for the capital, spent all his savings, and was also overshadowed by others, owing a huge amount of money.
Later, the Ye family had to sell the house and all the fertile land to pay off the debt, and later Ye Heng's mother was seriously ill and died.
He died a hundred, poor little Ye Heng was only ten years old at the time, and his family was in decline, fortunately, Ye's mother was kind when she was alive, and the maid Hongshang was also loyal, and she has always taken care of Ye Heng, and the Ye family still has this old house, so Ye Heng can continue to survive. But just a few days ago, Ye Heng suddenly caught a cold, I have to say that the medical level in ancient times was really worrying, a cold and fever actually made Ye Heng return to the west with his life, and now he has crossed over and become Ye Heng.
The person who came from outside seemed to be a descendant of the Cui family, judging from the condescending tone of the subordinate, this master of the Cui family, who had been friends with the Ye family since childhood, was afraid that he had changed his mind, and he was clearly here to ask the Ye family for a dowry, but in fact, he wanted to regret his marriage.
It's very simple, the current Ye family, even eating is a problem, where can I get a dowry? Although it is said that Ye Heng and Cui Ying, the young lady of the Cui family, have a marriage contract, but now that the Ye family has declined, who will push their daughter into the fire pit like this?
"This little brother, it's not that our young master is reluctant, it's really ...... Now that the Ye family is in some difficulty, little brother, can you discuss it with Master Cui and find a way to come out? β
Hongsheng, this girl is sensible early, in fact, she was forced, the Ye family has a life-saving grace for her, although she is not very old, she also knows that she has always been loyal to the Ye family after the decline of the Ye family, plus she is a girl's family, she has to find a husband. has lived in the Ye family since childhood, and Ye's mother means that in the future, when Ye Heng grows up, the girl in Hongshang will be a concubine for Ye Heng, which can be regarded as a name......
Now that the burden of the Ye family falls on this small shoulder, the Cui family came to the door, although Hongshang was forced by life and had a somewhat pungent personality, he could only plead in a low voice.
"Having trouble?" The subordinates of the Cui family smiled a little meanly, "What's the use of having difficulties with me as a subordinate?" β
Well, a subordinate is just calling himself 'I' instead of 'villain', and his next words are even more ugly.
"If you want me to say, girl, why do you bother to support the Ye family? This little master is sick, isn't he? It's better to take this opportunity to throw away the idea that the toad wants to eat swan meat, and don't hide it from the girl, you said, before I came to your house, my wife said that if the Ye family is willing, Mrs. and the master will not treat you badly, at least they will compensate you with some money......"
This is the real purpose of the Cui family this time, what is the request for a dowry? It's basically difficult for a strong man, I hope the Ye family will know the difficulty and retreat, and ...... Toad wants to eat swan meat?
As mentioned earlier, this girl in red clothes is forced by life, so she is sensible early, and now why don't you understand the meaning of the Cui family's words? Although she is only a fifteen-year-old girl, she can take care of Ye Heng with her weak body for so long, and she can survive after suffering a lot of white eyes in the Ye family, and her temperament is naturally meek.
Usually, even among neighbors, no one dares to mess with this little pepper of the Ye family, this time he was bullied to the house, although the other party is a big family in Lin'an County, and the Cui family is still the Ye family's family friend, so what?
If you look down on people, then I'm not a vegetarian either!
So Hongshang crossed his waist with his hands, pointed at the Cui family with an unkind face and scolded: "Okay, wow, it turns out that this is the true face of your Cui family, you get out of here, go back and tell your master, although our Ye family is in decline now, the young master is still there!" Since you are so dog-eyed, we don't force it, before the first day of August, right? Okay, you go back and wait for the news, if my young master doesn't give you an answer before the first day of the eighth month, whatever you do! β
scolded the Cui family and fled, and then Hongshang became worried.
Hongsheng, you are a pig's brain, how can you promise to give them an answer before the first day of the eighth month? Where can I come up with a dowry now?
