Chapter 1 I can travel between the two worlds
"Childe, according to your orders, this yard has been cleaned up, and the furniture in the house has been arranged."
In the courtyard, a middle-aged man came to Li Mu, bent down and bowed his head, with a respectful expression: "Do you think there is anything you are not satisfied with?" If there is, I'll let them adjust now. β
Li Mu took out a few grains of broken silver from his arms and handed them to the middle-aged man: "It's not bad, Lao Zhang, I've worked hard for you this time, this is furniture money." β
Lao Zhang took the broken silver and hesitated: "Childe, I don't need so many ......"
"If you have more, it will be considered a reward for you, as long as things are done beautifully, you will not be treated badly in the future."
Li Mu waved his hand: "Okay, you guys are busy!" β
Lao Zhang was overjoyed, and his old face bloomed like a blooming chrysanthemum: "Oh, how does this work?" How does this work? β
He said "how to make it" in his mouth, but he held the silver in the palm of his hand, thanked Li Mu for his kindness, and went with a smile.
After a group of people in the courtyard left, Li Mu stepped into the hall.
I saw that there were four banners hanging in the middle of the hall, and there were cases under the banners, and there were Huanghuali's Taishi chairs on both sides of the cases, and the whole room was paved with blue bricks, plastered with white plaster, and some calligraphy and paintings were hung on the walls.
Li Mu sat on the Taishi chair for a while, and let out a long breath: "This courtyard is finally done!" β
It's been a while since he came into the world.
Ever since I bought a bronze bell at the antique market, I came to this world inexplicably, and I was quite panicked at first, but then I found that after staying here for a while, I could return to the modern world, and then I settled down.
So began to explore the world.
This is a dynasty called Dayin, it is said that it has been founded for more than 600 years, the style of writing is extremely prosperous, it seems to be a little similar to the Ming Dynasty, the scholar has long shirts with large sleeves, and the commoners are dressed in short clothes, but there are also people who wear long robes.
The whole dynasty did not strictly control the clothing of the people.
The evolution of the writing of the Great Yin Dynasty is also largely the same as that of ancient Chinese characters, using traditional Chinese characters, with occasional differences in some individual scripts, but even if there are differences, you can guess the meaning of these characters.
It took Li Mu almost two months to roughly understand the basic situation of this world.
It was only in the last few days that Fang brought some silver from the modern world and bought a house in this county town.
The place where he is now is called Qinghe County, which is a small county seat under the jurisdiction of the Yunzhou Mansion of the Nineteen Prefectures of the Great Yin Dynasty.
Originally, he was still worried about his household registration problem, but it happened that there was a big epidemic in the nearby county, and many people died, and many people fled here.
As for the short-haired attire, he had already bought a few sets of ancient clothes and hats in the modern world, and wore a scarf to cover his short hair, and since then he has not been much different from the people here.
As for the accent...... I've read the online article, do you still care about these details?
So Li Mu quickly integrated into this world.
He spent twenty-three taels of silver to buy the two-entry courtyard house in front of him.
The front courtyard and the back have a small garden, and there are two wings on the east and west.
The whole yard was bought, and it cost a total of twenty-three taels of silver.
Modern silver is equivalent to three yuan and five grams, one kilogram is two catties, and his twenty-three taels of silver are only four or five thousand yuan.
Four or five thousand yuan, put in modern society, that is, a month's salary of ordinary people, but in this world, you can buy such a big house.
After cleaning up the house, he bought a table, chair, bench, and a large bed.
The other furniture didn't cost much, but this one-step bed cost him one hundred and thirteen taels of silver.
Just this one bed is enough to buy three or four houses like his.
"It's still a hot bed!"
Li Mu stayed in the living room for a while, then walked to the bedroom, lay on the small house-like golden silk nanmu stepping bed, looked at the carved bed, and sighed with satisfaction: "Comfortable!" β
Li Mu is very fond of furniture in the Ming and Qing dynasties, especially the Ming Dynasty's stepping bed, but this pulling step bed is a valuable object in the Ming Dynasty, and it is even more expensive in modern times.
In modern society, even if you use ordinary mahogany to ask a carpenter to make an antique stepping bed with a mortise and tenon structure, it will cost at least seven or eight hundred thousand yuan, and the manual cost alone will cost more than 100,000 yuan.
Although he had a good family, he was not generous enough to spend so much money on a bed.
Now that he came to this Great Yin Dynasty, he only spent a few thousand yuan to buy a house, and also bought such a golden silk nanmu stepping bed, and a sense of satisfaction arose: "Now I need to buy a few maids and servants." β
His greatest hobbies in life were martial arts and drinking.
Practicing martial arts, he has been practicing in modern society for many years, and he is doing well, he once singled out five students from the sports school, and ran away with each other's bloody faces, talking about street violence, he really didn't fear anyone.
After coming to this Great Yin Dynasty, he was even more surprised to find that the qigong he had learned before could really be practiced in this world, and in just one day, he had a sense of qi, and now more than a month has passed, the internal qi in the meridians is full, and his physical strength has increased by at least three or five times, and two hundred catties of things can be carried over his head with one hand.
It is estimated that after a period of time, it may really reach the martial arts realm of those chivalrous people in martial arts novels.
As for drinking, although Qinghe County also has a high degree of liquor, the taste is very general, and after drinking, it is still on the head, and when I get up the next day, I have a splitting headache, and the eye feces can cover the eyes.
The taste of low-alcohol wine is not very good, it is said that there is good wine sold from other places in Yunzhou Prefecture, but there is no one sold in Qinghe County, and it is not known what the taste is.
In addition to practicing martial arts and drinking, Li Mu's biggest ideal is to take seven or eight healthy servants to walk on the street at dusk and flirt with women from good families......
There is no chance of realizing this ideal in modern society, but there is still some possibility of realizing it in this Great Yin Dynasty.
After lying on the bed for a while, the sky slowly darkened, and a full moon appeared in the eastern sky.
Li Mu stood up and took a cloth bag in the bedroom in his hand.
At this time, a small cyan bell was slowly spinning in the depths of his spirit, making a slight buzzing sound.
The reason why Li Mu was able to travel into the world of the Great Yin Dynasty was because of this small bronze bell, which could be shuttled to the world of the Great Yin Dynasty at any time in modern society, but if he returned to modern society from the world of the Great Yin Dynasty, he had to do it at the full moon.
Although Li Mu didn't understand what was going on, as long as he figured out the law and could use the law, as for why this happened, it was not a question he could consider at this stage.
The moon is full today, and it's time to go back.
In the blink of an eye, his figure had disappeared in place.
The next moment, Li Mu appeared in his modern style bedroom.
In the blink of an eye, from history to reality.
This kind of time and space transformation situation has made Li Mu a little uncomfortable until now, and he always feels that he is dreaming.
After being stunned in the bedroom for a while, Li Mu opened the cloth bag in his hand and took out a few fist-sized stones, which were jade rough stones that had opened the window.
There is no special product in Qinghe County of the Great Yin Dynasty, but it produces a kind of fake jade, which is colorful and full of bells and whistles, without the warmth of mutton fat jade, and without the purity of gemstones, so it is not very popular.
The upper-class people don't like this fake jade, so the price is not high, and the middle and low-class people can't afford it, or they are reluctant to buy beautiful jade such as mutton fat jade, so they can only buy some fake jade to decorate the faΓ§ade.
Even flat-headed people, drooping children, will get some fake jade to wear on their bodies.
Li Mu has a fellow scholar who is a silver building and has a strong ability to appreciate jewelry, and he once fell in love with the female classmate for a period of time, and learned some small knowledge of jade identification from the other party.
Therefore, after seeing the fake jade worn by these ordinary people, I was shocked on the spot!
What kind of fake jade is this, this is obviously jadeite, is it good!
But if you think about it carefully, jadeite was not worth much in ancient China, and it was not hyped up until the end of the Qing Dynasty.
But it was not very valuable at that time, and it was not until after the reopening, in the eighties and nineties, that the price of jadeite really soared, and after zero zero, it rose again.
However, now in this Great Yin Dynasty, jadeite can only be regarded as the last jade, and the price is extremely low, and the price is the same as miscellaneous jade.
After Li Mu figured out the origin of these jadeite, he deliberately went to the quarry to buy a few pieces of jadeite rough with open windows.
These jadeite rough stones, the size is not big, but the water head is excellent, there are many treasures, this time back to the modern society, I want to find someone to see the value of these jadeite.
Put these jade stones in the bedroom, picked up the mobile phone on the bedside table, looked at the time, and found that from entering the world of the Great Yin Dynasty to returning to the modern era, only a few dozen minutes had passed, but in the Great Yin Dynasty, it had almost been a month.
The speed of time between the two worlds is staggeringly different.
When he looked at the time, he found that there were a few missed calls on his mobile phone, and the caller was his mother Yuan Qinghua.
Li Mu hurriedly dialed back: "Hey, Mom, did you call me?" β
Yuan Qinghua's voice rang from the phone: "Xiao Mu, you go home during the May Day holiday." I told the girl, you have to come back to see her! Don't take it too seriously! β
After graduating with a master's degree, Li Mu is already twenty-five years old, has worked for three years, and is now twenty-eight years old.
In big cities, single young people of this age are everywhere when they catch the first handful.
However, in his rural hometown, many young people are already married in their twenties, and if they do not get married after the age of twenty-five, their parents will be anxious.
Girls are okay, before the age of thirty, they don't worry about getting married, but once a boy is over twenty-six or seven, he will face an extremely harsh situation, not only his parents urge him to marry, but even the seven aunts and eight aunts, and the relatives who can't beat the eight poles, will urge you to get married and start a family as soon as possible.
The older you get, the less popular you are in the marriage market.
Except, of course, the rich and powerful.
Li Mu's hometown Taocheng, the bride price has soared to 300,000 yuan, the meeting gift is 100,000 yuan, the engagement is 100,000 yuan, and the marriage needs 100,000 yuan, so you still have to have a car and a house.
If you don't have a house or a car, the matchmaker won't bother to give you Zhang Luo at all.
After Li Mu graduated from university, he rarely returned home, and he was very disgusted with the marriage customs at home, and he never thought of marrying a woman from his hometown.
But he has not been able to bring a girlfriend home until now, and his parents are naturally anxious, so every year during the three major holidays of May Day, Eleventh and Spring Festival, his parents will urge him to go home on a blind date.
Now that May Day is approaching, Yuan Qinghua unsurprisingly began to call Li Mu.
"Oh my god, I can travel between the two realms now, and I see a bright future."
After Li Mu hung up the phone, he looked helpless: "In modern society, even if you can shuttle between the two worlds, you can't escape the realistic pressure of your parents urging you to marry......
