Chapter 1 Yuzhou General's Mansion
On the side of the street, the sunset hangs in the western sky, exuding a slightly tired afterglow.
The bustling crowd in the morning has long since dispersed, and the smell of food in the houses on both sides has long since eliminated the fatigue of the day.
A small pavilion in the distance, but at this time a large number of people gathered, and when I got closer, I found that it was a group of children listening attentively to a storyteller.
The storyteller is holding a folding fan and wearing a neat white shirt, sitting on a small stone table in the pavilion, with a group of children lying on the table, and the storyteller is telling stories endlessly, and his feelings are so deep that he is excitedly holding a folding fan and tapping the table:
"In the legendary primeval period, there was really no division between heaven and earth, the universe was chaotic, and the vastness was vast······ But the chaotic qi floating in the universe is a spiritual thing, after all, it is not willing to be lonely, so it uses itself as a medium, in this boundless darkness slowly breeds a trace of aura, the aura gathers, from the qi to the shape, from the shape to the quality, and finally after millions of years of fusion, in this chaotic darkness, there is a little pure and dazzling white light, this light is not the fire we usually see, the light, but the essence of all fires, the initial state of the spirit of all things······ After millions of years, the white light gradually increased, and when it was as big as a chicken egg, a human-like life was born in it, which is what we call Pangu······"
The children let out an exclamation and looked at the storyteller with their mouths wide open. The man smiled and continued:
"Since then, the primeval world has ended, and the god of Pangu has transformed into a giant axe with the remaining light, opening the heavens and the earth, boom! Slowly, I saw that the chaotic qi in the desolate universe was divided into two, the clear qi rose into the sky, and the turbid qi fell to the earth, and at the beginning of the heaven and earth, Pangu had done his best, and then the spiritual energy was scattered, and all things in the world were transformed, and he disappeared in all these things," said the man, shaking his head and sighing, After that, some of the stronger ones of the dispersed aura gathered on their own, and finally conjured up many gods and Buddhas, and our human race also quietly appeared at this time······"" Hey, uncle, weren't we pinched out by Nuwa?" asked a little girl timidly.
The storyteller smiled faintly:
"Is it?um~~~, maybe, but, not all of them are pinched out by Nuwa, some people may be able to absorb the aura of heaven and earth, maybe······ Perhaps, they are the embodiment of the aura······"
After that, the man looked up at the sky in the distance, his eyes were bright, as if he was thinking, but after a while, his gaze dimmed again, and he seemed to sigh quietly in his heart.
"Eh, uncle," a little boy of seven or eight years old said eagerly when he saw that the storyteller had come back to his senses, "I heard from adults that we are people who live in Yunzhou, so is Yunzhou also made by gods?"
The storyteller smiled dumbly, tapped the little boy on the head with the folding fan in his hand, shook his head, and said:
"This matter, to put it mildly, is a long story, since the birth of the human race, for their own interests, they have been constantly fighting and killing each other, alas, I don't know how many thousand years have been fighting on this land. Finally, maybe God can't stand it anymore, six hundred years ago, there was a majestic emperor in the human race, that is, the Emperor of the East in our word of mouth. He led a group of resourceful and brave generals, after decades of conquest, finally dominated the world, and under the discussion with the ministers and generals, the world was divided into sixteen states, one hundred and eighty counties, and many counties under each county, Yunzhou was only one of the states, the amount ······ You may not understand these things quite now, but if you want to say that the richest place in the world, in addition to our Kyoto in Yunzhou, it is Qingbo County, which belongs to Yuzhou, which is close to the sea in the south······"
After speaking, the white-clothed storyteller stood up, his eyes looked south, and the folding fan in his hand was rhythmically tapped in his left palm, and at some point his thick eyebrows trembled slightly, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes, as if he was hesitating, but gradually, gradually, his gaze became more and more determined······
On the horizon, the afterglow of the setting in the west had gradually dissipated, and the night oppressed the entire sky like ink.
It's been 600 years······ , the vicissitudes of life, the years are long, is there still a trace of sorrow in my heart that cannot be erased?
Six hundred years, the sun rises and sets, the quiet world, busy people, can you still remember,
Six hundred years ago, the small figure who sacrificed his life to save the world······
The cycle of years never stops, there is a way in heaven and earth, why be afraid of ruthlessness!
Yuzhou, Qingbo County.
The morning sun dispels the mystery of the night, and the warmth is sprinkled among the trees and grass in the county.
In the east of the city, a tall and majestic general's mansion also seemed to slowly wake up from sleep at this time·······
Suddenly, a rustling sound shook out of the neatly trimmed bushes, and two thin maids dressed in white background floral clothes had just walked here with plates, and one of the maids seemed to notice something, so he stopped, stretched out his hand and poked the person next to him, and asked cautiously:
"Hey, you, did you hear anything?"
"What?
"Listen carefully!" said the maid, pointing to the bushes beside her, "there seems to be something here, I heard a voice just now." ”
"Oh, it may be a wild cat, well, hurry up and send the porridge to the eldest lady's room, or you will be scolded again." Let's go, don't think about it, hurry up, hurry up, hey, be careful not to spill the porridge!" he said and dragged the maid away.
But after a while, the sound of rustling came out of the bushes again, and I saw two little heads slowly poking out, revealing two immature little faces, one of which had a red mole hanging from its mouth, and the other little face was full of anger, and looked around, and saw that there was no one around, and whispered:
"Hui'er, it's all your fault, look at it, I was almost discovered!"
The little boy with a red mole hanging from the corner of his mouth muttered quietly:
"Brother, how can you blame me, it was you who stepped on me first, so I moved, who knew that young lady was so sensitive!"
"You kid, where did you learn this, what kind of sensitivity? It's good that people didn't come to check, I'll see Brother Zimo later, and see if I don't sue you!"
"Hmph, when Brother Zimo sees us coming, I don't know who he will say first!"
"You, you kid...... Okay, when I get home, I'll teach you a good lesson! Now let's go!"
While talking, the two of them secretly walked towards the backyard of the General's Mansion. The young man named Hui'er was still sulking angrily.
Since the sky has just dawned, there are not many maids who get up, like the two little maids who got up so early just now, and only the people in the room of the eldest lady of the General's Mansion will do it.
The eldest lady's real surname is Qin, and she is the daughter of a large local family in Yuzhou, and 20 years ago she was called "the first beauty in Yuzhou" by some local literati because of her beautiful appearance. His father, Qin Huaiyu, is also known as "the richest man in Yuzhou" because of his good business. The family's rich property coupled with his domineering beauty, made the Qin family, who was already a little fluttering, even more arrogant.
Wealth can increase people's confidence, but too much wealth can inspire human arrogance and greed.
With the so-called "confidence", the Qin family began to plan her future, she didn't want to marry an ordinary ordinary man for the rest of her life, so, relying on her father's network, the Qin family met the descendant of the founding general Feng Suixi.
Twenty years ago, Feng Chenghu was also an ambitious young man, he was handsome but ambitious, and he always dreamed of doing a great career like his ancestors. So with his capable and decisive character and strict training methods, Feng Chenghu led troops to quell rebellions in many places in the south again and again, so he was arrested by the current emperor - Dongfang Diyun, named the general of Zhennan, and built a general's mansion for Feng Chenghu in Yuzhou, on the day of the completion and relocation of the general's mansion, Feng Chenghu married the Qin family, one is because of Qin's beauty, on the other hand, Feng Chenghu wants to strengthen the control of the local area in Yuzhou, and Qin's father Qin Huaiyu happens to be the richest man in Yuzhou, so Feng Chenghu's move will firmly control Yuzhou in his own hands, and Qin Huaiyu as a businessman can marry the general, with such a big backer behind him, naturally his heart is also happy, therefore, both sides take what they need, and they are happy。
It's just that the Qin family has been pampered since childhood, and after marrying into the General's Mansion, he put his arrogance above the subordinates of the entire General's Mansion, and everyone in the General's Mansion was in danger for a while. In particular, some of the maids who Qin thought were quite beautiful, and they were even more frightened, either being sent to work in rough places such as firewood houses, or ruining their appearance in various ways, and in the long run, there were only some stinky little maids and a large number of older or younger men left in the general's mansion. It's no wonder that let Feng Chenghu face such a woman all day long, naturally she will be bored, even if she is beautiful, but she has a pair of skins, after all, she still can't keep her man's heart.
As a result, Feng Chenghu often left the general's mansion on the pretext of going out to train troops, and worked hard while messing with flowers and grass outside. Within a few years, Feng Chenghu had his own force in the court, and it was also in that year that Feng Chenghu brought back a beautiful woman who was weak but revealed a fresh temperament everywhere- Xiao's, at the same time, Xiao's arms also held a three-month-old baby boy, which made Qin's great shame and antagonized the woman everywhere, but the woman was not angry and lived quietly in the General's Mansion, from then until today, there are two ladies in the General's Mansion, and that woman is the biological mother of Feng Zimo who secretly sneaked into the mouth of the two children in the General's Mansion, and the baby boy at that time has now grown into a handsome young man.
It's just that in recent years, Xiao's body has deteriorated, and he can't be cured by any medicine, at first Feng Chenghu came to see, but gradually, Feng Chenghu saw that Xiao's body was still weak, and he didn't get any better, and sighed. The Xiaozhu Courtyard where the Xiao family was recuperating gradually fell into disrepute with the passage of time, and only the only son of the Xiao family, Feng Zimo, that is, the original baby boy, moved from his own room to live in the Xiaozhu Courtyard in order to take care of his seriously ill mother.
There are not many people in Xiaozhuyuan, but it is well arranged. A clump of dark bamboo is planted under the rockery on the side, verdant and thin, quite the charm of the owner here.
When the two little brothers "wandered" here, the sky was already bright, because Xiao was seriously ill all the year round, and there were only a few maids serving, so until this time, the two children were not even discovered. I don't know if it's because the two children are on the accumulation of virtue, or if their own luck is too good.
Just when the two brothers were secretly happy in their hearts, they only felt that a breeze was blowing, the bamboo leaves were rustling, and the quiet atmosphere in the Xiaozhu courtyard suddenly added a bit of leisure and elegance. I saw the door of the west wing room slowly open, and a tall figure wrapped in white clothes slowly walked out of the eyebrows and eyes, and his appearance was only sixteen or seventeen years old, but at this time his eyebrows were frowning, and he saw him walking to the main house in the courtyard, and was halfway to the corridor, when suddenly the figure was slightly stunned, and then saw the white shadow shaking, and the person disappeared from the corridor, and then heard two shouts:
"Ahh······h
"Oh, Brother Zimo, yes, it's us!"
I saw the two children hanging upside down in the air one by one, grinning and shouting, and the one holding the two children was the young man in white just now, the third son of the General's Mansion - Feng Zimo!
