Chapter 1: Chen Goudan
"Brother, save me!"
The anxious cry for help woke up Chen Xuan in his sleep, and looking at the dilapidated and simple thatched house in front of him, Chen Xuan's brain suddenly buzzed!
I didn't expect it to really cross!
Chen Xuan is a modern person, his family was poor since he was a child, he worked very hard to change his fate, he was admitted to a famous medical school, and became an attending physician within a few years after graduation.
After Chen Xuan had his eighth operation yesterday, he collapsed after a long period of fatigue.
Unexpectedly, God gave Chen Xuan a chance to be reborn, allowing Chen Xuan to travel to the Daning Dynasty, and the original owner was also called Chen Xuan.
"Brother Dog, save me! My father and mother want me to be a concubine for Master Zhang! ”
Dog Egg is Chen Xuan's cheap name, and rural people think that it is easy to feed their children by giving them cheap names.
Before Chen Xuan could react, a woman burst in in a panic.
The small melon seed face can be held in one hand, the beautiful eyes are longing, the skin is like coagulation, even if there is no makeup, it is still charming and beautiful, and it is even more naturally beautiful.
"Yanran?"
Chen Xuan frowned, this beautiful woman is the original owner's childhood sweetheart, Zhou Yanran, the girl next door who grew up together.
"Zhou Yanran, the words of the matchmaker of my parents, I raised you with hard work, can't I still call the shots about your marriage!"
A middle-aged man with a face full of vicissitudes of life chased in with a broom and chased in, and was about to hit Zhou Yanran!
Chen Xuan hurriedly protected Zhou Yanran behind him, "Uncle Zhou, although that landlord is rich, it is really not a good thing, one of his concubines last year was beaten to death by him!" ”
"Dog, I know your heart for Yanran, but, but I'm really out of line!"
Zhou's father threw away the broom and shed tears of grievance: "The Dawu army is going south, the war is tight, and the government wants us to send a man to the front line to fight in every household." It's not that I'm afraid of death, it's just that I'm old and my leg is lame again, and I don't want to be a soldier, so we can only pay more! ”
In ancient times, people were forced to perform hard labor, military service, etc., and if they didn't want to go, they had to pay money, that is, "more endowment".
"Five times the money is more endowed, I can't afford to smash the pot and sell iron! Master Zhang said, as long as Yanran is a concubine for him, he will help my family out of this five yuan! ”
Chen Xuan fell silent when he heard this.
The people of the Daning Dynasty are tired and tired in the fields all year round, and then they are pressed by the government and landlords layer by layer, and they can be regarded as prosperous if they don't starve to death, and they can hardly save money on weekdays, let alone take out five dollars!
"Dog, your family will definitely not be able to get more endowments, and in a few days, you will also go to join the army. Uncle Zhou can't stand you, but Uncle Zhou really can't help it, and he can't marry Yanran to you. ”
Father Zhou wiped his tears.
Chen Xuan sighed, although he had just crossed over, he had already inherited everything from the original owner, including the original owner's deep love for Zhou Yanran.
In his previous life, Chen Xuan was only concerned about his career, and he had never been in contact with a woman except for patients.
Now that he has been reborn as a human being, Chen Xuan naturally can't watch his childhood sweetheart become a concubine for the bad old man.
"Yanran, my father can't stand you, if there is an afterlife, my father will be a cow and a horse for you. If we don't even pay the new endowment, then our family will have to sell ourselves as slaves. Come with me, marry Master Zhang, and have a bite to eat! ”
Father Zhou rushed over and forcibly dragged Zhou Yanran away.
"Wait!"
Chen Xuan said: "Uncle Zhou, I will pay for these five yuan, and I will take it as a bride price to marry Yanran!" ”
"Where did you get the money? When I went to the city to work as a coolie, my salary for a day was only a dozen cents. ”
Father Zhou frowned.
With the Daning financial system, money is always equal to 1,000 Wen.
"Give me a few days, and I'll earn it!"
Chen Xuan cut the railway, since God gave him a second chance, he wanted to live a famous life in this life.
Father Zhou frowned, only to feel that Chen Xuan was talking about a dream, but seeing the admiration in his daughter's eyes, he sighed: "The government only gives seven days, you not only have to earn Yanran's five-guan bride price, but also earn your own five-guan endowment." The martial army is strong, and our Daning army will go on the expedition, and there will be no three people out of ten people! ”
"Uncle Zhou, just rest assured, I will definitely be able to earn ten yuan in seven days."
Chen Xuan said firmly.
"Okay, I'll give you seven days, if you can't get this money after seven days, don't blame Uncle Zhou at that time."
Father Zhou also had no hope for Chen Xuan, he just wanted to give Chen Xuan a chance so that his daughter would die!
"Yanran, you wait for me, in seven days, I will definitely be able to hand over my own endowment, and I will definitely be able to save enough to marry you!"
Chen Xuan held Zhou Yanran's hand tightly.
"Hmmm! Brother Dog, I'm waiting for you! ”
Zhou Yanran smiled skillfully, her eyes were as bright as stars, as if she saw hope.
Taking advantage of her father's inattention, she quickly took off the jade bracelet in her hand and handed it to Chen Xuan, "This is what my mother left me before she left, and it can be used as some money." ”
"Yanran..."
Chen Xuan was about to return it, but Zhou Yanran had already left with Zhou's father.
"Dog, my mother can't stand you."
At this time, the old mother outside the house walked in tremblingly: "It's all because my father and mother are incompetent, so you can't even marry your beloved girl..."
Chen Xuan's father died in the army a few years ago, and he relied on his half-blind mother for his life all these years.
Chen Xuan hurriedly stepped forward to help: "Mother, don't say that." ”
The old mother's eyes were dark, and she almost fell to the ground.
Chen Xuan hurriedly protected his mother, and his stomach couldn't help screaming.
This year's harvest was not good, the government squeezed it in every possible way, there was not a single grain of rice at home, and the two of them had not eaten for a few days.
"Mother, you rest at home, I'll go out to earn money."
The Daning Dynasty is very similar to ancient China in all aspects, a bit like a parallel time and space.
More than 200 years ago, Taizu of the Ning Dynasty ended the troubled times and established Daning and created a prosperous era, but he did not think that two hundred years later, due to an accident, the general Liangzhan rebelled with many northern provinces, established Dawu, and ruled by dividing the river with Daning.
For decades, the two countries wanted to unify each other, but at this time, the Daning officials were corrupt and the people's livelihood was withering, and the Wu Dynasty was rising under the leadership of the male lord.
After digesting the memories of the original owner, Chen Xuan went to the back mountain city with great ambitions.
The village is already full of mourning, and the family members who have men in the family are reluctantly saying goodbye to each other, as if they can't come back.
Those who don't have men or don't want to go to the north to die, are all selling their property, selling their fields and houses.
If you want to make money, you still have to go to the city.
Chen Xuan thought to himself that as a modern high-achieving student, his knowledge of chemistry, physics, mathematics and other aspects was vast, and his medical skills were also quite superb, and he could make steady progress in the Daning Dynasty with his little thumb.
But the heavy reality poured cold water on Chen Xuan!
went to the medical hall, Chen Xuan hadn't explained his intentions, Lang Zhong saw Chen Xuan's ragged appearance, thought it was a beggar who asked for food, and drove out directly.
Making glass? Building mirrors?
Not to mention that Chen Xuan couldn't take out a penny at this time, the strong hunger made his eyes black from time to time, and his legs were as heavy as lead at this moment, and he would really starve to death if he didn't eat again.
In desperation, Chen Xuan walked into a pawn shop on the side of the road......
