Chapter 1: Awakening from a Past Life
Lingnan Province governs Guangzhou City, Chen Mansion Inner Courtyard.
It was a scorching summer, the scorching sun was scorching, but the flowers and trees in the courtyard were luxuriant, the shade of the trees was covered, and there was a small lotus pond, the water was rippling, the breeze was blowing, revealing a faint lotus fragrance, refreshing people's hearts, making people's hearts calm and cool.
It is a pity that no one appreciates such a beautiful scenery, and the whole Chen Mansion is full of anxiety and uneasiness, and all the servants and maids walk cautiously, bowing their heads and doing things carefully, for fear of provoking the anxious and angry master and being angered.
The little young master of the Chen family, the only remaining son-in-law of three generations, did not know what he provoked three days ago, suddenly fell unconscious, and asked many doctors to no avail, someone suggested to find a goddess to see, but was reprimanded by the old man Chen Shou, who read the sage books, he naturally worshiped ghosts and gods and stayed away.
In the simple and warm room, a little boy of five or six years old on the small bed, was sleeping with his eyes closed, suddenly his eyes turned violently, the expression on his little face was hideous for a while, fearful for a while, as if changing his face kept changing, and finally he woke up and opened his bright big eyes, but there was a trace of confusion and panic in his eyes.
As the only son-in-law of the three generations of the Lingnan Chen family, Xiao Yu naturally collects thousands of pets, pampered since childhood, so that his character is a little stubborn, although his mother's family education is very strict, but it also makes him a little rebellious, in private is even more daring, naughty and mischievous, belongs to the legendary bear child.
A few days ago, the bear child heard the private discussion of the people who said that there was a haunted room in the courtyard where the people of the Chen Mansion lived, and it was said that there was a mother-in-law who burned the fire and hanged herself there, and since then, there were often terrible cries from that room in the middle of the night, and there were faint quarrels and smashing sounds, but the next day, someone had the courage to check, and there was no trace of anyone in the house, and everything was intact.
This made the bear child very curious, so he boldly took a few friends to explore the haunted house in the middle of the night, as for what happened during the period, people did not know, and several other children did not agree with each other, and did not understand, only knew that Xiao Yu seemed to encounter something, was very frightened, and then passed out.
In the process of sleeping, Xiao Yu has been having nightmares, all kinds of absurd and strange scenes, living in a house made of steel and stone, riding a four-wheeled iron cart, and soaring for nine days on a huge iron bird.
"This is a memory!" Xiao Bi, who woke up, slowly recalled the scene in the dream, and seemed to understand something.
These memories are very fragmented, incoherent, incoherent, incomplete, but very large, and the capacity of Xiao Yu's little head is too small, which makes him very painful, and he can't help but cover his little head.
"No, I'm Chen Qi, from the twenty-third century!"
At this time, these chaotic memories seemed to have reached a qualitative change, and gradually formed a complete personality "Chen Qi", Xiao Yu felt that he had suddenly become another person.
"Am I reincarnated?"
It was like a big dream for thousands of years, Chen Qi finally woke up, and the world was unprecedentedly clear.
At this time, "Little master, are you awake!?" A milky voice came, full of surprise, Chen Qi looked up and saw that it was a six or seven-year-old little girl, wearing a little green dress, combing her maid's bun, her little face was full of baby fat, round and very cute, it was his personal maid Xiao Xiang'er, she was holding the medicinal soup in her hand.
"Yes," Chen Qi raised his little hand to greet him, sighing in his heart, although it was only a moment, it was completely different, the world was very superstitious, the end of the demon was very miserable, it was time to show his acting skills.
"Oh, little master, you have finally woken up, you have been in a coma for three days, but the slave maid is worried," Xiao Xiang'er, who was very happy, was active like a lark, and suddenly remembered something, so she ran out, "You should hurry up and tell the young lady." ”
"Hey, hey, slow down, you ......" Before Chen Qi finished speaking, Xiao Xiang'er's figure had disappeared, and he had to face his mother so soon, the closest person, which made him a little panicked and uneasy, but after thinking about it, he was originally her son in this life, but he just awakened the memory of his previous life, and there was no need to feel guilty.
It also happened that Xiao Xiang'er had just run out of the hospital when she saw a large group of people coming towards her. The first is a beautiful woman in her twenties, petite, willow eyes and thin eyebrows, ruddy complexion, cherry mouth, strolling Xu Xing, graceful body, a typical Jiangnan woman, it is Xiaoyu's mother Chen Huang.
"The young lady is well," although Xiao Xiang'er was excited, she still stepped forward to salute in a regular manner, the Chen family is a scholarly family, the most important etiquette, and the maid servants are also proud of their literacy, and etiquette is essential.
"What's going on?" asked the beautiful woman in a dignified voice, her voice hoarse and her bright eyes bloodshot, apparently not sleeping well today.
"Young lady, the little young master is awake. "Xiao Xiang'er's cheerful report.
"What?!" Chen Huang didn't care about his manners, and hurriedly ran into the yard.
Chen Qi lay on the bed and pretended to sleep, and before he could react, he was hugged into a warm embrace, and his mother's concerned voice came from his ears, "Little Yu'er, my mother's little baby, you finally woke up, let your mother take a good look, what's wrong with your body?"
"Mother, the child is all right. Xiao Yu'er finally lifted her little head from the twin peaks, "Mother don't worry. ”
The beautiful woman was stunned for a moment, the woman's keen intuition, she felt that her baby son seemed to have changed a little, inexplicably matured a lot, she quickly shook her head, thinking that it was an illusion, the baby son was intact, so that she finally let go of the heart that had been hanging for a few days, but suddenly felt a little dizzy.
"Mother, what's wrong with you?"
"Oh, it's okay, maybe I haven't had a good rest these days. ”
"Mother, the child is all right, go and rest. ”
"Well," the mother felt that her eyelids were heavy, and she really couldn't hold it anymore, but she still told her uneasily, "Send someone to ask for a doctor, give Xiao Yu a check-up, and don't leave a hidden disease." ”
After his mother left, Chen Qi was also a little drowsy, and the fusion of the two memories was a heavy burden on his little head, because of excessive use of his brain, Chen Qi lay on the small bed and soon fell asleep.
I don't know how long it took, I heard someone crying quietly in a daze, got up from the small bed, opened my eyes, and saw Xiao Xiang'er hiding in the corner crying, with her back to him, as if she was cleaning up something.
"Xiao Xiang'er, why are you crying, and who provoked you?"
Xiao Xiang'er just cried and didn't speak.
"Okay, okay, don't cry, your face won't be beautiful if you cry. Chen Qi stepped forward, moved over her thin shoulder, and when he saw it, he was immediately furious, "Who did this!!"
Xiao Xiang'er's cute round little face is gone, two big palm prints, the little face is swollen and tall, completely out of shape, purple in the blue, purple turns black, and there is vague edema.
If you look closely, there is blood oozing from the corners of her mouth, and the few small baby teeth that have just erupted in her mouth are missing.
"Xiao Xiang'er, who did it?" Chen Qi was really angry, such a cute child, who could bear to be so ruthless?
Xiao Xiang'er lowered her head, covered her face, her body trembled, she seemed to be afraid, and she didn't speak, Chen Qi coaxed for a long time before she sobbed and talked intermittently.
After listening, Chen Qi was a little embarrassed, it turned out that Xiao Xiang'er was affected by herself, and her mother thought that she was not optimistic about her young master as a personal maid, so she ordered her mother-in-law to slap Xiao Xiang'er ten times. In fact, there are many people who have been affected by him this time, but a few days ago, because he was worried about Xiaoyi, he didn't take care of it, and now he naturally settles accounts after the autumn.
"Little master, please save the slave," Xiao Xiang'er suddenly knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing.
"Xiao Xiang'er, what are you doing here? ”
"The slave has made a big mistake, young grandmother... The young grandmother wants to sell the slave and maid, and she has died... I ordered my mother-in-law to look for someone's teeth. Speaking of this, Xiao Xiang'er's bright big eyes were full of fear, although she was young, she knew what would happen to her being sold, and if she was lucky, she fell into the fire pit and continued to suffer, and if she was unlucky, she was a small pile of dry bones on the side of the road.
"Okay, Xiao Xiang'er, be good, don't cry, I'll plead with my mother, don't worry. "I watched so many costume dramas in my previous life, of course Chen Qi knew how miserable the end of the maid was when she was sold, he didn't want such a cute child to fall into the fire, of course he would help if he could.
