In the past eight dynasties, Shengchang has destroyed six, and there is still a relatively remote Dayuan left, and the small country of Beiyan in the past (rì) is constantly annexing small vassal states, and then occupying major dynasties, and now it has completely become the first dynasty in the world.

At present, only the Great Plains Dynasty in the east can compete with it, and the rest of the small countries are all clouds.

The six major dynasties that were annexed were Xiangmei, Juze, Dahong, Jiangnan, Daqi, and Danpo. Now the land of Xiang'an is the former Dahong Dynasty, and now this place is divided into three continents by Shengchang, Bozhou, Fengzhou, and Xianzhou.

The three continents are collectively known as Xiang'an, and are ruled by the vassal king Zhao Gangyi.

Among them, Xianzhou is the closest to Nanzhou, and it is also the settlement place of Xiang'an Wangfu, so Xianzhou is the most prosperous among the three continents.

Zhongzhuo Village, which is known as the first village in the world, is also located here, although this place is called Zhuang, it is much larger than many cities, and the prosperity can be said to be equal to the boundary of Xuanyun Mountain.

Zhongzhuozhuang already existed during the Dahong Dynasty, and its reputation at that time was not even inferior to that of Dahong's capital, and later after Shengchang destroyed the Dahong Dynasty, this place was not affected in any way, and still existed in the world.

There are a total of three people in the founder of Zhuangzi, these three people are the brothers who cut off the head of the chicken and burn the yellow paper, and the three people who married Jinlan had their own talents and ambitions at that time, so by chance they created the Zhongzhuo Zhuang that is now famous all over the world.

The three are named Zhang Qin, Li Shangmi and Yin Ming.

Zhongzhuo Village was a small village at the beginning, and then gradually grew under the governance of Li Shangmi and Yin Ming, and has become the largest village in the world (rì).

One of the men named Zhang Qin died early, the idea of creating Zhongzhuo Zhuang came from his mouth, but unfortunately he finally failed to see the completion of Zhuangzi, Zhang Qin did not contribute much when he founded Zhuangzi, but came up with a simple design, he had a son named Zhang Caizi, who was engaged to the daughter of his brother Li Shangmi at that time.

This doll is pro, the male is called Zhang Caizi, and the female is called Li Jiaren, and the names of the two have the meaning of "talented and beautiful, born a pair".

After Zhang Caizi's father Zhang Qin died, his mother Liu also died within two years, so only the lonely Zhang Caizi was left to live alone, although Zhang Qin died young, but he and Li Shangmi and Yin Ming are all good brothers who have worshiped the handle, these two people are also heavy (qíng) people who value righteousness, so the property of Zhongzhuozhuang should have a share of him Zhang Qin.

It's just that as time goes by, this matter seems to have become empty talk, Zhang Caizi's parents are dead, and it seems that he is not qualified to ask for this property, and Li Shangmi and Yin Ming have a tacit understanding not to mention this matter from then on.

Anyway, only the two of them know about it.

Zhang Caizi was raised by the (nǎi) mother of Li Shangmi's family, and it can be said that he grew up in the Li Mansion since he was a child.

He himself is not interested in these glory and wealth, he knows his father's relationship with Li Shangmi and Yin Ming back then, but he has never morally kidnapped the two because of this.

Li Jiaren's mother Cui Shi did not agree with her daughter's marriage from the beginning, and felt that Zhang Caizi, who had no family background, was not worthy of his own pearl at all.

Li Shangmi is also painful for his wife, and he has always been full of indifference to this woman's words, how can a woman be the master, and he is too lazy to talk about the old things back then.

Although his brother Zhang Qin died, this marriage is still there, not to mention that Yin Ming, the witness at that time, was still alive, besides, he Li Shangmi is actually the kind of treacherous person.

Among the three, Yin Ming is now Xianzhou Taishou, who has not cared about Zhuangzi's affairs for many years, and now it seems that this great Zhongzhuo Zhuang is almost only owned by Li Shangmi, and Li Shangmi, who is close to Jiazi, can definitely be said to be full of money, rich and rich, and definitely ranked among the rich people in Xiang'an.

Zhang Caizi has seen that many people in the Li family are not treating him well since he was sensible, especially Li Jiaren's mother Cui Xin, who can't wait to let him withdraw from this marriage with the Li family, many people in the Li family are a little above the top, even the maids and servants are like this, in fact, this is not to blame them, after all, living in the Li Mansion is really higher than ordinary people.

The Li Mansion is in Zhongzhuozhuang and even the whole Xiang'an, which is a noble and noble representative.

In fact, other people's opinions are nothing to Zhang Caizi, as long as the woman with the heart (ài) returns (ài) to him, it is enough.

He and Li Jiaren (qíng) are in agreement, and the phase (ài) is ten.

Li Shangmi has the nickname of Zhuo Zhuang Gong, he can naturally see that the Li Mansion is prejudiced against Zhang Caizi, but it is not good to say anything, his friend has passed away, he has to be worthy of Zhang Qin's spirit in the sky, after all, none of the three brothers would have today's Zhongzhuo Zhuang, let alone him Li Shangmi's today.

Later, Zhang Caizi was also self-aware, and took the initiative to propose to Li Shangmi to move out of the Li Mansion, and waited until he got the fame in the future to come here to marry Li Jiaren, Li Shangmi didn't say much, and bought a small house for Zhang Caizi on Zhuangzi's side.

At first, he wanted to help Zhang Caizi buy a mansion, but then Zhang Caizi repeatedly refused to buy a very small house, Zhang Caizi said that he didn't need to live in such a big place by himself, the small house was quiet, and it was the most suitable for reading.

Zhang Caizi and his father Zhang Qin were both scholars, and Zhang Qin had a reputation as a talent and had some brains. Zhang Caizi is talented and intelligent, other children are precocious, and he knows since he was a child that he wants to get famous and get ahead when he grows up, and then he is right with Li Jiaren.

Young scholars have to go to Beijing to take the exam.

......

......

A man and a woman sat on the hill watching the sun set.

The man (shēn) is bookish and polite, giving people a sense of calmness. The woman reclined on the man's shoulder, pure and immaculate, with a dignified demeanor.

The man is Zhang Caizi, and the woman is Li Jiaren, and the two of them will meet here privately, just to say goodbye.

Li Jiaren wrapped her hands around Zhang Caizi's arms and said softly: "You must take the test to gain fame, and then come back to marry me." ”

Zhang Caizi gently patted the back of the woman's hand that looked like mutton fat and jade, "Believe me, it won't be long before I will hire eight sedan chairs to marry you, and let you marry me Zhang Caizi in style." ”

The woman smiled like a flower, and nodded heavily, "Then I will be the wife of the champion in the future, you are not allowed to think I am stupid in the future!"

"Fool, how could I think you're stupid. ”

"Brother Caizi is the best!"

"In my place, you are also the best. ”

......

"I heard that the prince of Xiang'an fell in love with you, and I went to the Li Mansion to see you that day, but you didn't come out?"

"Well, it's really unlucky, I don't even know where that person saw me, but fortunately, Uncle Yin came to my house as a guest that day, and he and Daddy sent that son away for the last time. Don't worry, Brother Caizi, I will only be with you in this life, even if that son of the world will come to pester me in the future, I am not afraid, the big deal is that the two of us will leave Xiang'an and go to live somewhere else, we can't afford to provoke and hide. When you come back from the capital and be nominated, you will be a member of the imperial court, and it is estimated that the prince will not dare to pester me anymore, can he still take the imperial court in his eyes? I think that his pampered young master only fell in love with me on a whim, and maybe he forgot about it after a few (rì) days...... Don't think about it, Brother Caizi. ”

Zhang Caizi looked at Li Jiaren, who was flustered, smiled faintly, and gently hooked her little cocked nose with his fingers, "Can you really say, I just asked so casually, seeing that you are nervous, I don't know how you feel about me (qíng)." ”

Li Jiaren's face flushed, and she twisted Zhang Caizi's arm fiercely, "You are so bad!"

Zhang Caizi grinned and rubbed his arms.

Li Jiaren on the side showed a self-reproaching table (qíng), "It hurt you?"

Zhang Caizi nodded.

Li Jiaren said softly: "Then I'll rub it for you." ”

Just after rubbing it twice, Zhang Caizi hugged Li Jiaren in his arms, and the latter's face was flushed, but he didn't break free.

The two looked at Zhongzhuo Zhuang with no end in sight under the hill, and they didn't speak, the woman snuggled in the man's arms, she really wanted to be like this all her life, and she could be happy with the man in front of her for the rest of her life.

"Ahem—"

Li Jiaren suddenly covered her mouth and coughed.

Zhang Caizi looked worried, and helped him smooth his back with his hands, "It's all because I forgot that you have asthma, and you shouldn't be allowed to blow the wind outside, I'll send you home now......"

By this time it was already dark, and the shadow of the sun was no longer visible in the west.

Li Jiaren shook his head and said, "I'll leave later, you'll have to leave the day after tomorrow, and I'll have a hard time...... It's only been a long time since I came out, so you should accompany me. ”

The woman was coughing as she spoke.

The man pulled up the mink fur that the woman (shēn) was wearing and said softly, "Then let's stay a little longer." ”

Li Jiaren tried hard to suppress the cough, not wanting the man in front of him to worry.

When she came out this time, everyone in the house didn't know that those maids and servants who followed her in Ping (rì) would also be severely reprimanded by the above for this dereliction of duty, and Li Jiaren planned to make up for these maids and servants on the side (shēn) in the future, after all, he had harmed them.

Li Jiaren has asthma since he was a child, and he has sought countless medical treatments but it is still not cured, but it is getting more and more serious, which makes Zhuo Zhuang Gong Li Shangmi and his wife Cui Xin anxious, Li Mansion has money, but they invite quacks, these years they don't dare to give Li Jiaren those panaceas anymore, and they almost ate it several times, if it weren't for Li Shangmi personally went to Xichuan to ask for a medicine from the Medicine Valley a few years ago, I'm afraid Li Jiaren's illness (qíng) would be even worse.

Zhang Caizi looked at the confidant (ài) person in front of him, his eyes were soft, but his heart was uncomfortable, he wanted Li Jiaren to bear all these pains in exchange for himself, but he couldn't do it.

The two stayed until the evening before they were reluctant to leave, and on the way back, the entire Zhongzhuo Village was almost filled with Li Jiaren's name.

More than 100 maids and servants from the Li Mansion went out to find Li Jiaren who went out without permission!

In a small alley, Li Jiaren said, "Just send it here, let them see that you are not good." ”

Zhang Caizi nodded and hesitated: "Today (rì) separation, I'm afraid there will be a long time (rì) that you can't see each other, you must take care of yourself." ”

Li Jiaren raised her feet, and then put her hands around the neck of Zhang Caizi, who was a head taller than herself, she mustered up the courage to kiss Zhang Caizi directly on the lips, the lips were close to each other, and the woman's face was red like a maple leaf in autumn, "You too." ”

With that, the woman let go of the man, then grabbed the mink fur (shēn) with both hands and ran away.

Zhang Caizi stood in place and was stunned, he will only live for Li Jiaren in this life.
