Chapter 1: Cracking
Dongcheng, in front of the gate of Luofu.
Yang Shifei took a deep breath and was a little nervous.
He lowered his bags, straightened his robe, and touched his face.
It's good, it's not ugly, and it's clean.
He took out a stack of red paper from his bag and double-checked that the address was correct.
In the gap between the red papers, the word 'marriage book' can be vaguely seen.
Yang Shifei looked up at the 'Luofu' plaque hanging outside the gate of the compound, and sighed.
"I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to be a son-in-law after I crossed."
His mind couldn't help but go back to half a year ago.
At that time, I was still an ordinary graduate, worried about what job to find to support myself, where to settle down, how to plan my daily expenses in the future, rent, water and electricity, insurance...
After leaving the campus, the pressure of life seems to be clocking in and going to work on time.
But just when I was sorting out my mood and preparing to go to the second round of interviews with the company that I had already contacted-
I didn't pay attention to my phone and stepped on the air and fell into the pit.
The good news is that the pit isn't deep.
It may be that the road is being dug to repair some pipes, and there are maintenance personnel half-squatting inside. Even if you plunge into it, at most you will fall into a mouth full of mud.
The bad news is that he crossed over at this time.
Yang Shifei still deeply remembers that his balance was out of control at that time, his hands subconsciously protected his mobile phone and head, and he looked at the maintenance brother in the pit with a frightened expression.
And the little brother also happened to turn around and look up at him with a shocked face.
"it!" "it?!"
The two only hurriedly greeted each other, which became the last goodbye in modern society.
The next moment, he appeared above the unfamiliar field, and fell straight upright.
I fell with a blue nose and swollen face, plus all kinds of sprains and contusions, and I couldn't get up for a long time in pain, and I almost thought I had to explain here.
Until it happened that a peasant woman passed by here and kindly helped him back home.
Yang Shifei was confused at the time, and after confirming with the peasant woman's family for a long time, he realized that he had really crossed over.
During this period, there were many misunderstandings and jokes, and even because of his 'fancy clothes' and all kinds of 'crazy words', he was almost sent to the government, so that the other party reluctantly took him in.
After some twists and turns, he recuperated from his injuries in a remote mountain village.
During this period, I thought about my parents, how to go home, and even thought about whether I had a conjecture on my head, as long as my eyes were closed and opened, I would appear in the hospital ward with gauze.
My mother would sit next to me as usual and scold herself for walking and looking at her phone, and then gritted her teeth and pointed to the various bottles and cans hanging next to her with some distress, saying that she still had to cultivate for a period of time before she could eat, and then they would go home and do whatever they wanted, even if they didn't insert an esophagus, they couldn't eat takeout.
And my father was silent, swiping his phone, looking up at himself, shaking his head and sighing helplessly.
It's a pity that he didn't dream.
Yang Shifei lay in bed for two days and was depressed for three days.
He couldn't understand how the other traversers had been so ruthless as to abandon everything.
But humans are very regulating creatures.
After the injuries on his body healed, he silently collected all his feelings, got out of bed in pain, went into the farmland to try to help, and began to adapt to life in this world.
He's not a kid anymore, he has to learn to accept it.
The world has changed a lot, but I have to keep going.
And now this slightly old marriage letter in my hand is the 'reward' for insisting on helping farmers in the past month.
"-Aunt Niu, how did they hook up with such a big family?"
Yang Shifei stood in front of the gate of Luofu for a long time, and Junxiu's face was full of complexity.
In the little half a month that he has been recuperating in Niujia Village, he has probably understood the doorway of this world.
Although it is known as the 'Liang State', the history and impression of each dynasty and generation in this country are completely different, and there are even warriors, rivers and lakes, divine weapons and the like, and obviously there are some martial arts elements.
If it is other people who have crossed the river, they may be able to start exploring the rivers and lakes early to make a good name.
It's a pity that he is a graduate who is walking towards 996 with one half foot, not to mention that he can sing and dance, at least he is half-paralyzed, and he can be tired and vomit everywhere when he runs the physical test.
Especially after dancing the ancestral weapon of Aunt Dancing Bull's family, he almost broke his wrist because of it - he temporarily gave up enjoying the taste of the children of the rivers and lakes.
Besides, after recuperating in the body, you have to help Aunt Niu's family earn some silver taels in a variety of ways to repay the life-saving grace.
But unexpectedly, the kindness was not much, but Aunt Niu suddenly stuffed this marriage book one day, with a smile on her face.
"Yang boy, we don't have a boy at home, why don't you go to the appointment for us?"
"How can this be done! This Luo family is talking about marrying your Niu family, I, an outsider—"
"Hey, don't say it, we're cows, you're Yang, we're all family!"
“......”
Although he didn't expect Aunt Niu to tell a bad joke, Yang Shifei thought about it and agreed half-pushed.
He saw it as an opportunity.
Even if you don't learn any superior magic skills, you have to at least use your modern knowledge and try to wander the rivers and lakes a few times.
At the very least, you can't eat soft rice.
Neither does the farmhouse meal.
Even if he didn't make a name for himself in the rivers and lakes, and even the Luo family didn't recognize this marriage letter, he could use it as a springboard to settle down in the county seat and other places to find some work such as clerkship.
He thought that after learning mathematics for so many years, he might be going to shine at this moment... Anyway, the college entrance examination score is not low.
Although I basically forgot about it, I only remembered to add, subtract, multiply, and receive.
However, as long as they can earn a little more silver taels and support themselves, they can also take care of Aunt Niu's family more, so that they don't have to live a hard life in the wind and sun in the future.
Yes, don't eat soft rice.
But if the rivers and lakes, business, and officialdom all fail, and you can't even find a job...
Ahem, let's talk about it.
Yang Shifei's ability to act has always been good.
So after he made up his mind, he immediately used the money he had saved from working everywhere in the village to help the peasants and buy himself two sets of 'new clothes'. After saying goodbye to Aunt Niu's family, I took a horse-drawn carriage and drove dozens of miles of mountain roads to Dongcheng and stood here.
Knock Knock Knock –
Yang pondered right and wrong for a long time, but still mustered up the courage and knocked on the door of Luofu.
He is single from mother to child, let alone talk about girlfriends, and he has never even pulled the little girl's hand once.
Now it is really embarrassing to take someone else's marriage certificate and impersonate it, and come all the way to the door alone to be a 'son-in-law'.
But think about how powerless you are, let alone money and house...
Endure it.
At present, I can only keep reviewing the local colloquial words and silently reciting the manuscript that has been prepared long ago, hoping to make a good impression on the people of Luofu as much as possible.
Although he hasn't seen the eldest lady of the Luo family yet, he doesn't know what the other party's temperament is, but since Aunt Chengniu has kindly accepted the marriage letter, he has to behave well on the bright side.
"The younger generation Yang is right and wrong, and he came to visit with a marriage letter. Ignorance... Well? ”
Yang Shifei knocked on the door for a moment, looked at the courtyard door that slowly opened with a 'crunch', and was stunned.
The door didn't close.
Yang Shifei looked strange and looked up at the sky.
The clouds are gradually overcast, and the moonlight is difficult to see. He was in a hurry to get to Dongcheng today, and he didn't have time to have dinner before he came to visit.
In this world, many snitches have learned martial arts, and I heard that they can fly the eaves and walk the wall, and the gold and stone of the advanced ones are not a problem, and a wall is indeed no different from decoration, but it is also a façade. At eight or nine o'clock in the evening, let alone lock the courtyard door and didn't even bring the door, is this Luo family's descendant a little dereliction of duty?
Forget it, it has nothing to do with me.
Yang Shifei pushed open the door and took a look into Luofu.
The moonlight is sparse, and you can vaguely see the garden clusters and rockery landscapes, as if it is the façade compound of a large family, maybe it is a prince and nobleman.
coincided with the information he inquired about on the road.
This Luo Mansion seems to be a big family in the capital and has a high status.
And Miss Luo is the yellow flower girl who 'ran away from home' and settled in Dongcheng without authorization.
At first, many neighbors thought that this eldest lady would soon be arrested, but they didn't expect to live for two or three years, during which there was no slightest turmoil, and from time to time they could meet the maids of Luofu who were out purchasing, and they seemed to live here for a long time, and the people in Dongcheng slowly forgot about it.
However, the eldest lady of Naluo Mansion rarely goes out, and there are very few people who have seen each other's appearances. only listens to the rumors in the neighborhood, and is a beautiful woman with a beautiful country.
“... What about people? ”
Yang Shifei poked his head into the yard and vaguely saw a little light in the direction of the backyard, and there was no figure in the front yard.
Did you really forget to lock the door?
He stood there and cleared his throat, raised his voice and shouted again.
“......”
There was still no response from the backyard of Luofu.
Yang Shifei tightened his clothes, only feeling a little cold.
He looked at the huge empty courtyard, and felt helpless, and was going to find a hotel to stay for the night, and then come back tomorrow morning.
After all, I just received the marriage letter, and I didn't really get married. trespassing on the courtyard without saying hello, even if it is a door-to-door marriage, it is inevitable that they will be pointed at.
Yang Shifei slowly pulled back the heavy courtyard door, ready to turn around and leave.
But at this moment, a small white hand poked out from the courtyard gate and stood between the two gates.
Yang Shifei was taken aback, and hurriedly arrived at the door to stop, almost pinching the other party's hand.
"Girl?"
He pushed the door back open, and saw a pretty girl standing behind it.
This woman is wearing a celadon long skirt and a white shirt, and her figure is even more petite and exquisite, and a string of silver bells on the girdle ribbon rings softly in the wind, like the wind groaning. The immature and pretty face like white jade is cold and waveless, only a pair of smart and beautiful eyes blink lightly, which seems to be a little naughty.
Looking at the age, about fourteen or fifteen years old?
It's just that he's quite short, and it's not even above his chest.
Yang Shifei secretly thought that this might be the maid of the Luo family, so he settled down and quickly explained his intentions.
"It's you." The girl bowed her head slightly, and her voice was as crisp and beautiful as a song.
This made Yang Shifei breathe a sigh of relief and did not misunderstand.
"Now that it's getting dark, I'll wait for tomorrow—"
"Not coming in?"
The girl raised her hand to interrupt him, turned sideways, and pointed to the inner courtyard with a smile: "They're all inside." ”
Yang Shifei was stunned: "Will it disturb everyone in the house?" ”
"It's not too late." The girl smiled, "Coincidentally." “
“... It's good. ”
Yang Shifei thought about it for a while, and put his bags back on his back: "I'll go and see Miss Luo first." ”
The girl just chuckled and pushed open the courtyard door to make way for the spot.
Yang Shifei walked into the courtyard and was about to ask more, but saw her pointing to the inner courtyard: "Go directly." ”
"Okay."
The maid of Deluo Mansion agreed, and Yang did not twist, and followed the other party's footsteps all the way along the courtyard path.
“......”
The two were silent all the way, so quiet that they could hear the pins falling.
Yang Shifei looked at the slender back of the maid swaying in front of him, and secretly sighed in his heart.
I don't know if the other party is practicing martial arts, but there is really no footsteps at all when he walks.
After rounding a few winding stone paths, he soon came to the door of the boudoir with the lights flickering.
Seeing that there was no one around, and there were no lights in the other rooms, I thought that Miss Naluo should be in this room.
Yang Shifei looked at the girl who stopped and pointed to the door. "Girl, can you recommend me?"
"She knew you were coming."
The girl smiled a little uncomfortably: "Just open the door." ”
Yang Shifei frowned, sensing something strange.
I don't know if this little sister is too beautiful or the other party's words and attitude are quite subtle.
But it was not a matter for a fool to stand in front of the door of the woman's boudoir, he was silent for a moment, stepped on the stone steps in front of the door, and was about to knock on the door.
But through the crack in the door, I vaguely saw a shadow in the house with his back to the door, which looked very enchanting and charming under the flickering lights. The long black hair swayed lightly to the waist, but it still couldn't hide the proud curves.
Two handsome maids were standing on either side, as if combing their long hair.
Yang was a little embarrassed.
Didn't you say you wanted to see yourself, why did you look like you were still dressing up?
He had never been in love, and he had never figured out what habits or taboos the famous women of this era had, but he only knew a general custom and etiquette, and he didn't know whether to open his mouth to remind the women in the house.
was hesitating whether to wait for the other party to finish dressing up before speaking, but he saw that the movements of the two maids in the room combing their hair became more and more ... Odd.
Yang Shifei frowned slightly, his heart was inexplicable, and he subconsciously squinted his eyes to see clearly first.
I saw that the two maids gradually grabbed the woman's long hair with ten fingers and slowly pulled it to both sides.
“!”
Yang Shifei was stunned, almost thinking that he had met the scene of the maid bullying the down-and-out lady... Is it the so-called hair pulling?
What's going on in this Luo province?
But before he could smack his tongue and sigh, he saw an even more thrilling scene.
The woman whose hair was pulled sat silently, as if she were completely unaware of the pain. And as the maid gradually pulled, the long hair of the waterfall was almost divided into two halves, and the top of the woman's head was like a separated gear, revealing the jagged cracks that were originally bitten together, like melons and fruits blooming, more like a delicate flower.
“......”
Yang Shifei's face was stiff, he took a step back, and his heart beat extremely fast.
What melons, fruits, and flowers, this is clearly the whole head being ripped out of flowers!
