Chapter 1: A New Life in a Foreign Land
It seemed that Fang Xiaoyu, who had fallen into a deep sleep, gradually woke up. He felt someone bathing him in hot water and then wrapping him in a cloth again. Moving, he suddenly found that his strength was much less, and when he opened his eyes with difficulty, he found himself in a luxurious mansion, and an old woman dressed plainly was carrying him to a middle-aged man: "Congratulations to the seventh master, it is a little son." ”
The middle-aged man looked at Fang Xiaoyu with joy on his face and said, "Great, my Weihong finally has a queen." "Why did he look at me like that? Fang Xiaoyu looked at the middle-aged man in surprise and asked, "May I ask who you are?" But when the words came to his mouth, it turned into a baby's cry, and then Fang Xiaoyu was surprised to find that he had actually become a baby.
"The little boy is crying, I'm afraid I'm hungry." The old woman said with a smile. Fang Weihong hurriedly said: "Isn't the nurse looking for it?" Let her come. The attendant next to him took the order.
What the? Do I still need to feed? The newborn baby had poor physical strength, and with a mature soul like Fang Xiaoyu, he was cranky for a while, and most of his physical strength was consumed, and a wave of sleepiness swelled up, and Fang Xiaoyu fell asleep deeply. Before falling asleep, Fang Xiaoyu looked at his father's short hair in this life, and the last thought that came to mind was that fortunately he had not traveled to the Qing Dynasty.
At this time, the cold electronic voice in Fang Xiaoyu's mind sounded again: "The brain domain is successfully connected, the chip is repaired, the host body is too weak, and the biocurrent stimulation begins." According to the historical records of later generations, on May 26, 875 in the Taiyuan calendar, the glorious emperor Fang Xiaoyu was born.
A gorgeously dressed old man sat at the wide desk, looking at the notes on the table and worried, Fang Xiaoyu's nurse stood next to him with him. The old man looked at Fang Xiaoyu, who had a pair of big eyes and was spinning around, and then looked at the notes with names written on the table and said, "There are a lot of names, and there are several that I like, what is the best name?" ”
In this custom, when a boy is born, many relatives and friends will choose the child's name for the child's grandfather to choose, and the child's grandfather has the right to make the last decision. However, as a grandfather, Fang Wei was born as a military general, and his culture is naturally not high, so the choice of name can make him worried, but as a general, he can't pull his face to ask others. "Otherwise, it's better to call Fang Daxiong."
Fang Wei pouted and picked out the name he had given: "I wanted to give my son this name back then, but my father didn't agree, and this time it's finally my turn to call the shots." Hearing Fang Wei's words, Fang Xiaoyu almost fainted, if he took such a cheesy name, how could he go out to meet people in the future. However, he was unable to speak, so he had to cry out in protest.
"Huh?" Fang Wei looked at Fang Xiaoyu who was crying in surprise, and then looked at the note in his hand. In order to verify his thoughts, Fang Wei said softly to Fang Xiaoyu: "Sun Tzu, if you don't want to, we won't call it this name." As soon as the words fell, Fang Xiaoyu's crying stopped. Fang Wei said: "It's really worthy of being my grandson, so smart." ”
Fang Wei threw the note with Fang Daxiong written on it into the paper basket, and picked up another note: "Call Fang Xiaohu?" ”
"Wow......"
"Call Fang Xiaobing?"
"Wow......"
The notes on the table were rapidly decreasing, and beads of sweat gradually appeared in Fang Wei's head.
"How about calling Fang Xiaoyu?" Fang Wei, who had already formed a habitual movement, just wanted to crumple the note into a ball and throw it into the paper basket, but suddenly found that he did not hear the cry this time. Fang Wei let out a sigh: "I can't imagine that this kid likes the name given by his second uncle, so let's call it Fang Xiaoyu." Fang Wei wiped a handful of sweat: "It's finally over, this name is really not done by people, next time he has another child, let his second uncle name it." ”
"It's finally done, and I cried for a long time." Fang Xiaoyu, who was already a little impatient, habitually wanted to stretch, but found that he was tightly wrapped in the quilt and couldn't move at all. "The baby's body is really inconvenient." Fang Xiaoyu thought depressedly: "The current body can't do anything, it's really boring." Annoying, continue to sleep. ”
I don't know what the road is, as a baby, Fang Xiaoyu is always very sleepy, which he attributed to the characteristics of the baby and did not study it deeply, but the rapid strength of the body can be felt, in fact, he doesn't know the way, this is caused by the bioelectric stimulation caused by too fast growth and excessive physical consumption.
More than three months passed quickly, according to the custom of celebrating the baby's birth on the hundred days, the Fang family invited relatives and friends to hold a banquet as usual, and the dishes on the table, although they looked much worse than the exquisite dishes of later generations, also made Fang Xiaoyu very depressed. For Fang Xiaoyu, who is a Chinese, the taste of drinking only milk without salt for three months is uncomfortable, and the thought that he needs to eat milk for another few months before he can eat normally makes his heart cold.
Watching them eat and drink from the sea, he could only sip two mouthfuls of milk fiercely to vent the dissatisfaction in his heart, fortunately, the nurse was very beautiful, and she felt a little comforted, it was not all bad, but it had been a hundred days since she came to this world, and Fang Xiaoyu still didn't know which dynasty he was in. If it is in ancient times, the clothes of the family look very modern, and in ancient times, the parents who paid attention to the body hair and skin were not allowed to get a haircut, and his father and many people had short hair, and his grandfather Fang Wei was actually the garrison officer of Nancheng in the capital, with the rank of lieutenant general, and there were tens of thousands of troops under his hands. His father was a commander of the Northwest Military Region and was also a lieutenant general. If you say that you are in the Qing Dynasty, but no one here has braids, nor does she wear robes and horse coats, this is even more impossible, such a strange phenomenon really makes Fang Xiaoyu puzzled.
According to the 100-day rule, babies are to be caught for weeks. Babies have three lying, six sitting and eight crawling, that is, babies can only lie down for three months, sit for six months, and crawl at eight months, but Fang Xiaoyu, who is unusually strong, can now sit, and everyone put the baby on a table covered with red cloth, and put it next to him, and let him choose the official seal, pen and ink, abacus and other objects.
Fang Xiaoyu looked at the wide-eyed eyes of all relatives and friends, as if he was going to fill in the college entrance examination, it was really funny, he glanced at the things around him, there was really nothing to make him look at, just when he wanted to grab something casually, his father Fang Weihong suddenly thought of something, he took something off his waist and gently put it on the table.
The thing collided with the table and made a soft noise, which made Fang Xiaoyu turn his head and find that it was a revolver. "It's a gun." Fang Xiaoyu was shocked, and reached out to grab the gun. This gun is not heavy, only about a pound and a half, it can only be regarded as a pocket pistol, but it is still too heavy for the strength of a baby. Fang Xiaoyu laboriously grabbed the pistol with both hands, looked at it carefully, and quickly understood the gun with his semi-professional eyes. This gun is very similar to the Colt Model 1849 pocket pistol, with a loading rod and grooves cut out to facilitate the loading of the fire cap, apparently this is a fire cap pistol, the workmanship is not bad, but it is very primitive.
Seeing Fang Xiaoyu pick up the pistol, grandfather Fang Wei Ha Ha Da Lu smiled: "My family has a queen, I really deserve to be my Fang Wei's grandson, I have been interested in guns since I was a child." Fang Wei smiled proudly, but Fang Weihong was scared into a cold sweat, he only put the pistol on the table on a whim, but forgot to withdraw the gunpowder and projectiles, even though the fire cap was not installed, it was also very dangerous. Seeing his son clumsily fiddling with the pistol, Fang Weihong quickly put the gun back.
Seeing that the old man was so happy, everyone congratulated one after another, and the two old men who had been drinking with Wu Wei next to him also spoke, and the tall old man said: "Third brother, it seems that your grandson is not simple, it is said that he will pick his own name, maybe he can become the pillar of our family in the future." "Oh? What's going on here? Tell me about it. After listening to the words of the tall old man, the short and fat and somewhat bald old man also asked with interest. Actually, that's what happened, second brother. Wu Wei smiled and briefly introduced Fang Xiaoyu's own name, and the short and fat old man was amazed, and he couldn't even weigh it.
At this moment, a guard walked in and saluted the three old men: "Three generals, the emperor has summoned the three adults to the palace for deliberations. "Oh? Something. The tall old man asked, "Is there anything wrong?" The guard replied, "The father-in-law who came to deliver the decree was very strict and refused to speak." The tall old man nodded and said to the two behind him: "Second brother, third brother, let's go to the palace now." The short and fat old man nodded to Wu Wei, and then the three of them and their friends confessed their crimes and went out.
When the three of them were talking, Fang Xiaoyu just turned around, he knew the two old men, the tall one was the eldest grandfather Fang Rui, and the short and fat one was the second grandfather Fang Qiong. Fang Xiaoyu didn't hear much of their conversation, because he was attracted by the rifle on the back of the guard who came in later, it was an Enfield 1853 rifled gun, or at least it looked very similar.
This rifle is a rifled rifle fired by a breech-charged fire cap, plus the revolver I just saw I have a general understanding of the level of weapons in this era, at least in the country where I was born, the metal shell fixed ammunition has not yet appeared, thinking of so many advanced firearms and naval warships that he knows, Fang Xiaoyu trembled with excitement.
"Oh, is the little young master sick, why are you trembling all over?" The nurse holding Fang Xiaoyu first discovered the problem, and several maids next to her quickly gathered over when they heard the nurse's shout. Fang Xiaoyu rolled his eyes and said secretly, is this sick? I'm trembling with excitement. It's a pity that others don't know Fang Xiaoyu's thoughts, especially Fang Weihong, who is his only son, how can he not care? Fang Xiaoyu's mother is the same, they quickly found a doctor, and in turn transferred it for half an hour to check, the doctor didn't see anything sick, but he didn't dare to say that he was not sick, doesn't it seem that his medical skills are low.
After tossing for a long time, the doctor really couldn't see anything sick, looking at Fang Weihong, who was frowning, the doctor was so frightened that he was sweating, and he didn't dare to delay any longer, so he had to pretend to be calm and said: "Your son is fine, I only need to prescribe a medicine and take three doses, and there will be no trouble." After listening to the doctor's words, Fang Weihong and his wife's faces looked better.
The doctor stubbornly prescribed a prescription to clear away heat and fire, anyway, this recipe is not sick and can't be eaten, so it should be better to strengthen the physique. When the Fang family paid and sent the doctor out, they almost didn't scare the doctor into peeing his pants. The direct consequence of this misunderstanding was that Fang Xiaoyu drank bitter medicine soup for three days for no reason, and Fang Xiaoyu scolded the quack doctor in his heart.
