Chapter 12: Serve him to me
Chapter 12: Serve him to me
It was a good night, and for the first time, Sov woke up from a natural sleep, and when she opened her eyes, she felt that she was still modern.
It took a while for the snow-white plain gauze tent to pull her back to reality, and she got up with her bones, and hurriedly ran into Lin Yan's room with her hair bun, but found that there was no one inside.
Turning his head to look out the window, the sun was shining, at least it was the end of the hour. I was shocked, and I hurriedly cleaned up and rushed to the main house.
When I went out, I met the little maid Cuiyu, "Red, the son said that he is going to visit a friend today and will come back in the afternoon." ”
Su Fu was stunned, and turned back, this child was obviously still angry with her before going to bed last night, why is there nothing wrong today, it's really strange.
The master is not there, and it is natural to be a maid. I used it early first, and then I came to help him clean up the house at leisure.
On the desk, Zhang Xuewen was pressed on the paper, telling her that if she was bored, she could read the books on his bookshelf casually.
Ancient books are a valuable item, and the average person can't own a good book, let alone a minion.
There is a whole wall-high Huanghuali bookshelf in Lin Yan's room, which is randomly filled with books, this child has a wide range of knowledge, in addition to the subset of scriptures and history, geography and customs, and even some miscellaneous books such as legends.
Su Fu was most interested in history books, although she had already inquired about the Great Liang Dynasty, an alternate dynasty that she had never heard of at all.
But how to hear it from the mouths of ordinary people is incomplete, and you can only explore it yourself.
I couldn't wait to pull out a volume of the history of the dynasty, and Su Fu carefully browsed through it, and the original version of the classical Chinese without annotations was a little difficult to read.
But fortunately, her ancient literary skills are acceptable, and she can even understand more than half of what she guesses.
It has been more than 180 years since the founding of the Great Liang Dynasty, and it can be regarded as the prosperous era of Changping, the most prosperous stage of a dynasty.
But Su Fu privately felt that under the prosperous appearance of the Great Liang Dynasty, there were already a thousand holes, like the black earth covered by heavy snow, flowing with the root of evil.
After a cursory flip through it, I feel that the Great Liang Dynasty is somewhat similar to the Song Dynasty in history, it is also a literati ruling the country, emphasizing literature over military force, and the partisan dispute has almost become white-hot.
The court is full of treachery, which changes every few days, and has become more serious in recent years. Su Fu was silent, presumably her parents were also victims of party strife.
If you want to blame this kind of thing, you should blame the entire deformed society, so why bother to find out who is right and who is wrong. Even if she knew, it didn't make any sense, she was a little orphan girl, and she didn't have the ability to bring down the important ministers of the court.
What's more, the Liang Dynasty is difficult to return, who can stand tall in officialdom for decades? I'm afraid that when she grows up, the person himself will be dead and there will be no scum left.
Sov thought very openly, she couldn't repeat the mistakes of the past, it was rare to steal a life, and although she had a bad start, she believed that she would get better and better with her own abilities.
As for the aunt who protected her with all her heart, she will set up a spirit card for them in the future and sacrifice at four o'clock in her lifetime, which will not be in vain for their mother-daughter relationship.
Thinking of this, Su Fu dropped the history book and changed the focus, wanting to know more about the geography and customs of the Great Liang Dynasty.
Mingzhou, where she is located, is southeast of Daliang, and Linhai County is even more southern.
The territory of the Great Liang Dynasty is vast, the entire territory is shaped like a piece of jade pendant, and the capital Shangjing is in the center of the entire dynasty.
There are lofty mountains in the north, vast deserts in the west, vast plains in the middle, rich coasts in the east, and beautiful water towns in the south.
Agriculture is basically self-sufficient, abundant products, and industry is more developed than she imagined, such as textiles, papermaking, shipbuilding, and iron smelting...... have already reached a fairly high level.
Even the financial industry, which she is best at, has become a climate, with money banks, pawn shops, silver bills and even paper money in circulation, and they are basically colluded between officials and businessmen.
It is very difficult to create a business empire with bare hands like other traversers. Besides, she doesn't want to spend that effort, she has food, drink and leisure in this life, just enjoy the life of ordinary people.
As for marriage, love, family or something, just follow fate, if there is a suitable one, you will not shirk, and if there is no suitable one, you can travel alone. When you are older, you will comb your hair and pretend to be a married lady, and it will be much easier to move.
The feudal dynasty is patriarchal for sure, and everyone is generally not out of the door, but they are relatively lenient towards the married, as long as the husband's family has no opinion, there are many people who show up to do business.
Although it also talks about three obedience and four virtues, it is not forbidden for widows to remarry, and the people and divorced or abandoned women can choose their belovers again.
Okay, yes, at least I didn't see a foot binding, she didn't ask for much, and the rest didn't matter.
On this day, she soaked in the room and read hungrily, and even forgot to eat lunch, until Lin Yan came back, she was surprised.
Seeing Lin Yan, who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, her old face suddenly turned red, hey, as a maid, she was indeed overstepping.
"I'm sorry, I'll pay attention next time."
"What's this, just watch it if you want, there are no rules in my house anyway."
Although his expression was indifferent, given his previous performance, Sov was suspicious that he was saying the opposite.
"Guess what, I brought you?"
Lin Yan put one hand behind his back, pretending to look at her mysteriously.
He goes out to meet friends and brings her gifts? Did you hear that right?
However, she still guessed twice very cooperatively, what flowers, books and the like, Lin Yan kept shaking her head.
"Ha, I can't think of it, sugar gourd."
A string of bright red sugar gourds was handed to her, and Su Fu was stunned, this child probably saw her eating on the street yesterday, and thought that she liked it very much.
My heart warmed slightly, and I pretended to be happy to take it, "Thank you, I like it very much." ”
Lin Yan saw that she immediately put it in her mouth, and couldn't help but smile, her eyes were shining, with a little childish pride.
Lin Yan like this is actually full of cuteness.
"Eat it slowly, and I'll bring it to you often in the future."
No matter how you listen to it, there is some flattering meaning in it, Su Fu's heart is confused, what's wrong with this child?
After eating the sugar gourd, Lin Yan went over to accompany the old lady, but as soon as he entered the door, he saw that his father was also there, so he immediately lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, and honestly asked for peace, looking silent.
But Lin Jianshen was rarely a little excited today, he didn't care about Lin Yan at all, and said to the old lady with a smile on his face.
"I've inquired about the nephew of the Inspector, in fact, it is the third son of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Officials, because he admires Dong Daru's talent and learning, and he came to apprentice."
When the old lady heard the words of the official book, she couldn't help frowning slightly, but she didn't say anything.
Master Lin continued to take care of himself: "It is said that it is to take care of it, in fact, the Inspector has another village here, but he just informed him, and always kept an eye on his safety issues, after all, Mingzhou has indeed been affected by some Linhai County recently, and there are many displaced people. ”
As he spoke, he looked at Lin Yan again, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you will be responsible for accompanying Wang Gongzi to learn and play in the future, you must serve him well, and you can't slack off." ”
