Ling Xiao followed Zhong Liyi to the study, and then Zhong Liyi took a bamboo slip from the bookshelf and handed it to Ling Xiao: "This is the history of the founding of the Central Plains, you just read this first, and ask your father if you don't understand." ”

Ling Xiao hummed softly, then opened it, after a general glance, he actually made a difficulty, the bamboo slip was written with a delicate small seal, although Ling Xiao was proficient in the four Chinese languages of Norwegian, English, French and Chinese, but now it is useless, it is really helpless. But to her delight, people are now using small seals

, and Xiao Seal was unified in the Qin Dynasty, so maybe this also existed in the Qin Dynasty, so she asked tentatively: "Do you have "Zuo Chuan" here?" When she was about to return to China, a Chinese girl who was studying in the United States with Ling Xiao gave her a set of classics of Chinese sinology, including "Zuo Chuan."

"Book of Songs", "The Mean", "Chu Ci", "Book of Changes". Let her study it carefully, saying that it will help her understand the culture of Chinese culture. She accepted it, and studied it intermittently and seriously for two years when she was not too busy, and the rest was okay, but the "Book of Changes" made Ling Xiao unable to appreciate the mystery in it

Wonderful.

"You want to read the Left Biography?" Zhong Liyi was a little surprised, "I remember before you went to Beiyue, but you hated reading and literacy the most, it seems that it has really changed." He sighed.

When Ling Xiao heard that there was really "Zuo Chuan", he felt a sense of steadiness in his heart, so he said: "Why don't you find out the "Book of Songs", "Chu Ci", and "The Mean" for me, and I'll go back and study it slowly." She couldn't tell Zhong Liyi, she didn't know these words, and the current method was to use these

The books I read before came to be literate first. It was abnormal enough when eating, she didn't want to make them curious anymore, Ling Xiao felt fortunate that she had been away from them for six years, and it was normal for things to change in six years.

"Do you want to see so much? With your character, at most, it is a day's heat, and as soon as you get well, it is estimated that you will be away from home all day long, fooling around in the market. Every time your sister writes to her, she says that you are like a boy, climbing trees, climbing over walls, often fooling around in the market with the Seven Princes of North Vietnam, and often getting into trouble.

In the end, the Seven Princes will carry the black pot for you. I didn't tell your mother any of this. You have amnesia now, but your personality doesn't change much because of amnesia, and your active nature follows your mother when you were young. Zhong Liyi's eyes searched for the bookshelf, and he didn't forget to talk about Zhong Liyi's past. this

After Ling Xiao heard this, she was really shocked, in her heart she always thought that ancient Chinese women were very dignified and quiet, but how could Zhong Liyuan be the kind of person described by Zhong Liyi, it was really incredible.

Ling Xiao said in an affirmative tone, "I can see it." ”

Zhong Liyi looked at her with a playful look and said, "I guess you can't even recognize a few words, right?" When I was at home, I didn't study hard, and when I went to North Vietnam, I was even more lawless, and even your sister couldn't control you. Ling Xiao was told the truth, he really didn't know those words, but he didn't

It's because of those reasons. She lowered her head and stopped talking, which was a tacit acquiescence.

"I knew it." Zhong Liyi's tone was a little proud, and he looked like a knowing daughter Mo Ruo's father.

"Find me a master who understands history." Ling Xiao's tone had a bit of a command in it, and it really shocked her when she said it, Zhong Liyi is also a Hou Ye, and his status in ancient times was very high, this

It's really inappropriate to say it, but if you say it, you can't take it back.

Zhong Liyi feigned anger and said, "Did you talk to your father like this? It's really getting bigger and smaller, and I haven't even screamed my father after waking up for so long. ”

After listening to Zhong Liyi's words, Ling Xiao hesitated for a moment, and finally opened his mouth to call his father. Judging from the current situation, although Ling Xiao's soul was not Zhong Liyuan, this body was bleeding from them, and Ling Xiao felt that it was reasonable to call them parents. It's just that she doesn't know Zhong Liyan's true spirit

Where has the soul gone, could it be said that Zhong Liyan's soul has been extinguished. Ling Xiao never believed in the soul theory, but now it happened to her, which is really incredible.

"You have to make sure that it's not hot for three days, otherwise I'll ban you, and you don't want to eat the osmanthus cake in the south of the city." Ling Xiao agreed, but he had doubts about the osmanthus cake in his mouth, but he didn't ask him.

"You have too many books, I'm afraid you won't be able to get them, I'll ask someone to send them to you later, and as for the master, I'll let Uncle Li arrange it." The Li Bo in Zhongliyi's mouth is the housekeeper of Yunhou Mansion.

Ling Xiao answered, and wanted to leave.

"Go and stay with your mother." Zhong Liyi said.

Ling Xiao stayed in He's courtyard for an hour, talked to her for a while, and then went back to his courtyard. When she went back, all the books she asked for had already been delivered, so she took the Book of Songs and sat on the swing to read and write. She found that these words were not very difficult to learn, but she could actually find some of them

The shadow of modern writing, it's just that it's more difficult to write.

After breakfast the next day, Mr. Teaching came, an old man with gray hair, no beard, a person who paid a lot of attention to appearance, and he gave Ling Xiao a good image.

As soon as the master saw Ling Xiao, he bowed down to Ling Xiao, which was a great gift in ancient times, and said, "The old man pays a visit to Princess Liwu." ”

Ling Xiao listened to his words and felt very frightened, as far as she knew, in ancient times, only the daughter of the supreme ruler could be called a princess, and even if she was the daughter of an important minister, she could only be named the county lord at most.

So Ling Xiao said: "Master is mistaken, how can the little girl be a princess?" ”

The master's attitude was very positive: "It's true, even if the old man is given ten dares, the old man will not dare to lie in front of the princess." ”

Ling Xiao was very curious, so he said, "I have a high fever and amnesia, and I asked the master to explain it to the little girl." ”

"This matter Dongzhou people know that since His Royal Highness was born, he was broken by the emperor and named the princess, with the title of leaving worries, and has a fief that even the princes do not have

Expensive. Ling Xiao couldn't digest what he said for a while, and his head was full of doubts as to why he would give her such an honor, so he asked his master why, and the master told her that it all stemmed from Zhong Liyi's loyalty to the emperor.

Ling Xiao urgently needed to understand the development of this history, so she asked her master to explain it to her from the Warring States period. She thought that literacy was not in a hurry, so many words could not be learned in a day, and the days to come would be long, and then she would learn slowly.

So the master started talking about the Warring States, and then talked for two days, and finally made Ling Xiao understand everything.

It turned out that Ling Xiao had traveled through time and space, which was a parallel universe that split off from the Qin Dynasty. Modern history says that during the Qin Dynasty, in order to seize the throne, Gongzi Huhai framed Gongzi Fusu, and finally the conspiracy succeeded, so there was later history. And this time and space is not like this, Hu Hai framed Gongzi Fu

Su, but was washed away by Fusu, and got rid of Zhao Gao, a traitorous villain, as soon as Zhao Gao died, Hu Hai lost his right-hand man, and he couldn't fight Fusu who won with virtue. After the death of Qin Shi Huang, Fusu successfully became the emperor, he reduced taxes, reduced punishments, restored hundreds of schools of teaching, and freedom of speech.

The people loved him very much, so the world was much more peaceful. As for Xiang Yu, he was also conquered by the virtue of Fusu, and was willing to give up the hegemony of unifying the Central Plains, and Liu Bang has never appeared in history. I feel a little emotional, this is the power of the people's will.

In this way, the Qin Dynasty experienced the fifth dynasty, because the Qin fifth was warlike, and tried to expand the territory area, and finally the people were displaced, the treasury was empty, and the territory area was also expanding day by day, accounting for almost three-quarters of the whole Asia, which increased the difficulty of management, social chaos, and the state began to decline

fell, and finally the Yanling family raised troops to replace it.

The new ruler knew that it was not easy to manage the territory, so he invited the rulers of the three stronger countries around him to reformulate a territorial division agreement, so he gave the excess territory to other countries, and on the condition that the four countries would never go to war, and exchange in-laws, if anyone violated it,

It will also be spurned by the people of the world. As a result, the Central Plains, Beiyue, Nanzhuan and Donghuan were formed, and they were called the four major powers of Dongzhou. However, the more difficult to deal with are the nomads in the west, the Xiongnu, the party and other things often come to invade the border, so there are often wars on the border.

Due to the open-mindedness of the rulers, the Yanling family ruled for more than 300 years, the treasury was full, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, food and clothing did not worry, and there was no war between the four countries for more than 300 years, so there was today's peaceful and prosperous era.

The doubts in Ling Xiao's heart were solved, and her heart was put down, since she had come here, she wanted to live well. It was here that she was freed from the intrigues of the business world, and her heart was liberated.

Ling Xiao looked at the rice paper in front of him, and was puzzled in his heart, didn't the paper appear during the Han Dynasty? There was no Han Dynasty here at all, and how did the paper come from, so he asked the master, "Master, where did this paper come from?"

"Your Highness is really diligent and inquisitive, then the old man will tell you about it." "Legend has it that hundreds of years ago, people discovered that when grass, bark, hemp and other plants were steamed in water and finally dried on flat wooden boards, a thin and light layer would be formed, which could replace bamboo slips for writing

But at that time, the paper was too rough, not tight, and easy to break, and then after hundreds of years of development, it gradually formed the white and flawless, smooth and delicate paper that we see now. However, it is also only suitable for practicing calligraphy, drawing, letters, etc., and it is not suitable for historical records and recording ancient books. And the books we use now

Books still have to be written in bamboo slips, in order to prevent important things from being lost. ”

"I see, thank you for your doubts." Ling Xiao now suddenly realized that the appearance of some things would not change because of different history, even if there was no Cai Lun, paper would still appear, but in a different way. And according to modern historical records, Cai Lun only transformed the paper

That's it, it doesn't mean that he invented it.

"This is the old man's business, Your Highness doesn't need to thank me." The Master said.

At the beginning of her recovery from a serious illness, in order to prevent Ling Xiao from getting tired, He only allowed her to study for one hour a day. The rest of the time was quite boring, so she asked Qian'er to take her around the Hou Mansion to understand the layout of the Hou Mansion. However, this Hou Mansion is indeed large, and there are many families, not to mention that there are 300 of them

people, but she heard Qi'er say that the population of the Hou Mansion is still small, because Zhong Liyi does not marry a side room, does not accept concubines, and does not have concubines or the like, so there are five brothers and sisters. And most of Zhong Liyuan's brothers and sisters are not in Jundu, although her third brother is here, but because of official business, Ling Xiao has not seen him so far, so the population is also

There are a lot less, like other princes and nobles, all of them are groups of wives and concubines, and the population is naturally more.

Ling Xiao stopped outside a courtyard with the words "Tang Liwan" written on the plaque, and she remembered that the plaque in her courtyard read "Taoxi Pavilion", and there were two lush peach trees planted in the courtyard. She thought that the name of the courtyard was probably also taken after the flower in the courtyard. She heard Qi'er say that this used to be the residence of Zhong Liyuan's sister

's yard, and now it's also her sister. She pushed the door and entered, only to see a lot of begonia flowers planted in the yard, which was really as she expected. Now in the middle of spring, there are buds on the flower branches, and she knows that the flowering period of the begonia is April, so it will bloom soon. Ling Xiao thought that Begonia should be her sister's favorite

It's just that the cold weather in Beiyue is not suitable for the cultivation of this kind of flower, Ling Xiao suddenly felt sorry for her, the fate of ancient aristocratic women is often linked to politics, and they are just tools of rulers.

The interior of the house is very elegantly furnished and spotlessly cleaned, and it should be cleaned often. Ling Xiao saw a guqin placed in the east position, so he walked over, sat on the seat, and couldn't help but play. Previously, when she was in the United States, she followed the Chinese girl to learn about some oriental musical instruments and physiognomy

Guan Yinlu, fell in love with the music played by the guqin, and after returning to China, he took time out of his busy schedule to learn the guqin, although it is not professional, but it is also very skillful.

The piano sounded, it was her favorite song "Xiaoxiang Water Cloud", the tactful music echoed in the room, after playing the song, she was so shocked that Qian'er covered her mouth, looked at her with big glasses blankly, she was very puzzled: "What's wrong with you?" ”

"Miss, when did you learn to play the piano? I've been with you for six years, and I haven't seen you learn the piano? And what tunes are you playing, haven't you heard them before? She asked a whole bunch of questions.

Ling Xiao asked rhetorically: "Didn't I know how to play the piano before?" ”

"Anyway, I've been with Miss for six years, and I've never seen Miss play the piano, and when I was in Beiyue, the eldest lady asked you to learn this, and you didn't want to live or die, and often played tricks on the pianist who taught you to play the piano," said Qian Er, talking about Zhong Liyuan in the past.

"Was I so naughty before?" Ling Xiao couldn't help but ask, and Qian Er nodded. Ling Xiao was a little surprised, this Zhong Liyan's name was so quiet and calm, but he didn't expect his character to be so uninhibited, it was really interesting.

"Let's go, let's go back." Ling Xiao got up and said to Qi'er. She thought that she should pay attention to her behavior in the future, and not do more abnormal things, so as not to arouse suspicion, she couldn't tell them that she was not Zhong Liyuan, this kind of bizarre thing is probably not believed by anyone, and maybe she will think that she is brain

There was a problem with the bag, which attracted more people's attention. Maybe it's a hidden arrangement.

Qi'er followed behind Ling Xiao and said, "Miss, I always feel that something is wrong with you since you recovered from your illness, it seems that you have changed as a different person, compared with before, the contrast is too great." ”

"Huh? Is it? Tell me about it?" Ling Xiao became interested and asked.

"The young lady used to be lively and active, very warm and informal to everyone. And now, you have become very quiet, very detached and polite to everyone, and your temperament has become cold. There are also some of your habits, when you were thirsty before, you drank cold water in a big gulp, and never ate fruits

Peeling, biting and eating directly, and eating meat directly with your hands has never been informal. But now, you have to drink hot water when you drink it, or the kind of drink that is poured in a teacup in small sips, the action is very elegant, and with the luxury, the big thing would rather not be eaten than be taken by hand. "Son's with

She said so much, she was very helpless, she lived her original life for twenty-five years, and her living habits were developed since childhood, and it was impossible for her to change them for a while. She believes that it is good to be honest and casual, but she should know how to be self-disciplined and restrained. In fact, she felt that she had changed in the past ten days

Less, at least there is no previous loneliness and ruthlessness, this is the limit of what she can do, once a person's character is cultivated, it is difficult to change.

"I just want to change myself, I don't want to live like I used to, try to be what everyone should be, isn't that okay?" Ling Xiao's tone carried a hint of majesty in it, and he asked rhetorically.

"The slave doesn't dare, and the young lady is angry." Qian'er hurriedly waved her hand and said.

"Miss never got angry with me before, and she wouldn't use Miss's momentum to suppress me." Qian Er muttered quietly, although it was a distance away, Ling Xiao could hear it clearly, but she didn't say anything anymore, it was really a bit difficult for her to treat a person well, at least it was difficult now.
