Chapter 1 The Little Beggar and the Rich Daughter I

Three hundred years ago, the Great Song Dynasty after more than 500 years was already in decline and crumbling. The court has become a trend, colluding, and the royal family Murong is even more poor and extravagant, and he is extravagant. The Great Song Dynasty can be said to be difficult to return, rotten, and rotten to the roots. It is the time when the world's heroes rise up, the heroes stand side by side, a generation of Tianjiao Wu Yuanzhang was born, with great talent, the world's miraculous skills, swept the first, pacified the eight wildernesses, and threatened the heroes, and finally created the Dawu Dynasty and established a great cause.

The Dawu Dynasty has been inherited for more than 300 years since Taizu Dingding, and has gone through 23 emperors. Taizu Wu Yuanzhang is far-sighted, his eyes are like a torch, he has a deep understanding of the reasons for the fall of the Great Song Dynasty, he knows that keeping the industry is more difficult than starting a business, in order to protect the Wu family for thousands of years, a hundred generations of inheritance, so specially left a testament, sternly warned future generations to abstain from luxury and simplicity, pro-virtuous and far-reaching, not arrogant and extravagant, arbitrary, the emperors of the past dynasties strictly follow the ancestral teachings, dare not disobey. Today's Shenglong Emperor Wu Enze is even more diligent and thrifty and loves the people, and is as good as a stream, so the current Dawu Dynasty court officials are clear and clear, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

Our story began to slowly begin in such a peaceful and prosperous BJ environment.

After the founding of the Dawu Dynasty, after the emperor opened up the territory, conquered the barbarians, and expanded from the original eighteen states to the current twenty-six states, the territory of Guangdong is bordered by the boundless sea, the west is the Kunlun Mountains, the south is connected to the Phantom Hesse, the north reaches the Arctic ice field, and the territory is wide to a radius of 10 million miles, which is the most in the past dynasties. Among them, the terrain of the southwest zone is the most complex, with plains, basins, hills, plateaus, mountains, etc., where the environment is harsh, the traffic is not smooth, there are many dangerous mountains and bad waters, and the valleys and dense forests. Qianzhou is located here on the southern plateau, this state is located in the southwest of the Dawu Dynasty, bordering with Gui and Shu Prefectures, with a population of 30 million, the people are fierce, the sects are numerous, the forces of all parties are intertwined, the situation is complicated, it has always been a difficult to manage zone, so the successive dynasties have been mainly autonomous here. At that time, in order to manage this place well and ensure the stability of the southwest frontier, Taizu of the Wu Dynasty specially divided a king of the opposite sex to sit here. This king of the opposite sex is very good, and he has joined forces with all forces, pressing the strong and helping the weak, which has made this place stable.

Qianzhou is located in Guilun Mansion, which is one of the most important cities of the Dawu Dynasty in the southwest, located in the alluvial plain where the lower reaches of the Blue River and the Cangjiang River meet. The streets in the city are vertical and horizontal, spacious and accessible, the buildings are lined up one after another, orderly, and there are all kinds of wine shops, tea houses, inns and merchants, showing the atmosphere of a big city and important government.

In the western part of the city, there is a huge mansion in the area where the rich live, covering a very large area, and the houses in the courtyard are stretched out into patches, beautifully decorated, and full of luxury, and it is obviously a large and wealthy family. This rich family surnamed Yun, the ancestor once produced a high-ranking official such a high-ranking official, a time of great prominence, and then the master retired, told the old man to return to his hometown, when the emperor was grateful for his merits, he rewarded a large amount of jewelry and money to bring back. It is enough to ensure that several generations of the Yun family can live a luxurious and prosperous life. Later, the Yun family produced a business genius, very good at the way of business and wealth, relying on the wealth left by the ancestors as the capital, and after a few decades, the Yun family developed into the richest family in Guilun, with a very high reputation in the local area, and even local dignitaries like the prefect of Guilun paid tribute to the Yun family.

Yun Ren, the contemporary head of the Yun family, is a bodhisattva-hearted benevolent businessman, who is kind and generous, often sets up porridge shops, and helps the people, and the name of benevolence and righteousness is widely spread, and is very loved and appreciated by the local people. Yun Ren has five sons and four daughters under his knees, but he loves his youngest daughter Yun Demon the most. It turned out that this cloud demon was obtained by him in middle age, and he was born to his favorite tenth aunt, and he was extremely cute, so he naturally became the most favored child.

At this time, it was the middle of winter in the Dawu Dynasty, and this year's winter was particularly cold, and even the Guilun Mansion, which used to be like spring in the past four seasons, was covered with snowflakes one after another, and the entire city was dressed up in silver, becoming a silver-white world, which was very beautiful! There is a way, thousands of miles of white and nine days of frost, scattered all over the world, and the earth became cotton wool. Birds and beasts fly in the cold, and everything is silent!

The snowy Guilun Mansion is really different from the usual, it looks particularly quiet and beautiful, like a fairy in the snow standing quietly. The sky was getting darker, the snow was still fluttering in the air, and the lights and smoke were gradually turning on in every house in the city, and it was time for dinner. There was silence outside, and the streets were covered with a white snow blanket at some point, and because of the cold weather, the lively places in the city in the past lost their hustle and bustle, and also blended into a quiet, so that there were no footprints left on the snow blanket, looking from one end of the street to the other, smooth and smooth, like a smooth and traceless white ribbon. But just as the heavens were intoxicated with this masterpiece of their own, a small, thin figure burst out of the alley, and ran quickly from one end of the street to the other, toward the west of the city, and when the figure disappeared from sight, it had left a series of small footprints on the smooth and unmarked snow.

At the same time, the cloud mansion was also hung with red lanterns, shining on the mansion with a fiery red light, as if dyed with a layer of red glow, looking magnificent and bright. At this moment, at the back door, there was a little girl dressed in a very gorgeous and luxurious manner, constantly turning in place, stopping from time to time to look into the distant night, and the delicate pink little face was full of anxious looks, as well as a trace of displeasure and annoyance. Apparently, she was waiting for someone. It's just strange how she, a little girl who doesn't look more than five years old, knows how to wait for people. Moreover, there was a complex look on his face that only an adult could make. It's amazing. It's just that the look of anxiety and annoyance that appears on her little face full of childish innocence looks particularly funny.

In fact, this little girl who is made of pink jade and dressed in luxury is the most favored little daughter cloud demon in Yunfu. Don't look at her young, but she's smart and weird, and her little head is full of quirky thoughts. There is no one in the Yun Mansion who has not been teased by her. But no one ever blamed her or hated her, on the contrary, it was too late to like her. Guy is young at first, those tricks are just some jokes that make people cry and laugh, and they won't really hurt people, second, she is naturally extremely cute, everyone loves her, and the whole house likes her very much, third, she is the most favored by the old man Yunren, and she is his treasure, whoever dares to let her suffer the slightest grievance will eat his punishment.

"This big wood, why hasn't this stinky star brother come yet, it hurts people to be frozen here, I hate him to death, huh, it's so cold!" The little demon stopped again and looked at the night ahead, but he still didn't see anything, and couldn't help but complain loudly, and after speaking, he raised his little hand and took a breath of hot air into the palm of his hand. The weather was really cold, although she wore a thick little padded jacket, but after staying in the night wind for a long time, her hands and feet were still cold, especially the delicate little face was even more red and shiny, like a red apple.

The little demon had been waiting here for her to call out the "Stinky Star Brother" for a long time, half an hour later than they had agreed. It's hard to imagine that a little girl under the age of five can have such good patience and perseverance. I don't know how she did it.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and the wind and snow outside were getting heavier and heavier, and the people in the house came to call the little demon several times on the orders of the old lady, telling her to hurry in and stop waiting outside. They look distressed. However, they also knew that although the little demon was not very old, he was a very stubborn child, and he was very assertive, and the things he decided would not be easily changed. Therefore, they can only be anxious in their hearts, but they can't force their subordinates to carry her into the house.

About half an hour later, just when the little demon was about to lose patience, she finally saw a small and thin figure rushing towards her in the dark night. So, she smiled, smiled happily, and that smile was revealed, as if the wind and snow had frozen, and she was amazed by her peerless demeanor. One of the housekeepers next to her was even more stunned by the smile, and the housekeeper even thought that he was delirious and hallucinated. How could that kind of beautiful smile with a beautiful smile that is not yet five years old appear on the face of a little girl who is less than five years old. He couldn't believe it.

"Ah, it's Brother Xingxing, it's Brother Xingxing here" The little demon jumped up with joy, and her voice was so sweet that people's hearts melted. Before the voice fell, the person jumped out like a cheerful rabbit and greeted the "Star Brother" in her mouth.

"Demon sister, don't run so fast, slow down, don't fall" The little boy who came saw the little demon running towards him, and hurriedly reminded the little demon to be careful. From his eager tone, you can hear a strong feeling of concern that can't be contained, and you can feel that he loves and cares about the little demon very much. He shouted and accelerated towards the little demon and ran over, for fear that the little demon would fall and be injured.

The boy's name is Mo Xingheng, now eight years old, he has been living on the street since he was born, fortunately he was touched by a kind beggar at that time, and then took him with him to adopt him so that he did not die young, and then when he grew up, he followed the old beggar to beg, living a miserable life of dependence on each other, hunger and cold. In this way, the two lived together for six years, until the old beggar died of illness two years ago, leaving Xiao Xingheng alone and living alone. Fortunately, the tempering and tenacity of his nature since he was a child made his young mind extremely strong and gradually adapted. From then on, he lived by begging alone, and when he realized the importance of reading, he took every opportunity to go to a college in the city to eavesdrop on his master's teachings. It seems that he has good wisdom, and over time, he has learned no less than his peers in the academy, and even more thoroughly and deeply than them because of his understanding. His name was found in the jade pendant he carried with him after he became literate, and only then did he know that his name was Mo Xingheng, and before that, the old beggar called him a dog. The old beggar explained to him that it was because of his humble name.
