Prequel to [The Young Master]
Outside Lingzhou City, Sujia Village.
The young woman held a child in her arms, looked at the other one on the bed, looked at the man opposite, and said helplessly: "We may not be able to afford one child, what will we do with two... …”
The big man scratched his head in distress and said: "What should I do? I can't watch him freeze to death outside... It's better to raise one, and it's better to raise two. At worst, I'll be more miserable and tired, and it'll be fine... "
The woman looked at the baby girl in her arms with pitiful eyes, shook her head and said: "It doesn't matter how hard we are, no matter how tired we are, it's just that we are like a child..."
"Think of it as raising an uncle for our Ru'er..." The big man smiled honestly and said: "If he treats Ru'er badly in the future, I will break his legs!"
The woman glared at him, then looked down at the child on the bed, with a smile on her face, and said: "It's only a little while, but she looks so pretty. She won't be bad when she grows up. We have nothing to lose as children." …”
The big man laughed twice, and suddenly took out a piece of cloth from his arms and said, "When I picked him up, he still had this in his arms, with words on it. I'll go find Yang Xiucai and see what's written on it. What……"
…
Ten years later.
…
"Brother Xiao Ning, brother Xiao Ning, wait for me..."
Outside Lingzhou City, on the mountain trail, the girl was carrying a basket on her back. The basket contained herbs. She looked up at a figure in front of her and shouted weakly.
The young man in front looked back, then ran back quickly, squatted in front of her, and said, "Come up."
The girl looked at him, with a blush on her face, and whispered: "People say that men and women cannot be intimate..."
The young man squatted on the ground and said indifferently: "It doesn't matter whether we kiss you or not. Anyway, I will marry you in the future. Just like my father and mother, they sleep together at night. What's wrong with carrying them..."
The girl wrung her hands together and stood there nervously. The boy was already urging, "Come up quickly, the temple fair will be over if it's too late..."
The girl said softly "Yeah" and lay on his back with a blushing face.
A new temple has been built on the mountain in the north of Lingzhou City. Today, the temple gate is opened to welcome believers, and there is a constant flow of pilgrims coming in and out of the temple.
In the main hall of the temple, a middle-aged man with a rich appearance turned to look at the people around him and asked, "Why, do you, Mr. Zhong, believe this too?"
The man with a majestic expression shook his head and said: "Madam has told me several times. If I don't come today, I'm afraid she will still talk about it for a long time..."
The rich man laughed twice and said, "If the people of Yong'an County know that their new magistrate is actually a henpecked man, how can you convince them?"
Zhong Mingli didn't want to argue with Tang Ji on this issue, so he changed the subject and said, "Where are Xiaoyi and Yaoyao? Why don't you see them?"
"Xiaoyi said these Buddha statues looked scary, so Yaoyao took her out to play." Tang Ji looked up and said angrily: "They say gods and Buddhas have compassionate hearts, why do they look so fierce..."
In the yard outside the temple hall, a tall girl comforted her companions and said: "What are you afraid of? My father said it was just a few broken stones. The gold powder on them was given to them by my family... "
The beautiful girl next to her was still a little pale and whispered: "But they are really scary..."
The tall girl patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, I will protect you... You stay here for a while, and I will buy you the candied hawsers you like to eat."
After the tall girl finished speaking, she ran away in a hurry, bought the candied haws, and ran back quickly. Unexpectedly, she bumped into another person. She covered her forehead with an "Ouch" and the boy opposite was also hit and staggered. He covered his head and looked at her dissatisfied.
The girl glared at him angrily and said angrily: "What are you doing? You don't have eyes when you walk!"
Not to be outdone, the young man replied: "You have eyes, don't you also see the road?"
"You!" The girl rolled up her sleeves. The boy was startled, and immediately took two steps back, saying warily: "What do you want to do?"
The girl looked at him with her hands on her hips and said, "Hurry up and apologize to me!"
The young man raised his head and said: "It's because you don't look at the road. Why do you want me to apologize? Girls are so cruel. Be careful and you won't get married!"
"I want you to take care of it!" The girl was finally irritated and reached out to grab his collar. However, the young man was well prepared and quickly turned around and ran away. He didn't forget to turn around and make a face and said loudly: "A fierce woman cannot marry. !”
The girl had an angry look on her face and was about to give chase when another figure stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Yaoyao, what's wrong?"
Tang Yaoyao stroked her chest, looked at the direction in which the boy disappeared, and said angrily: "You brat, don't let me see you next time!"
"Why are you arguing with someone again..." Zhong Yi shook his head and asked, "By the way, where are the candied hawsers you bought?"
"Here, here you go..." Tang Yaoyao looked down and said in shock: "Where's my candied haws on a stick!"
On the path down the mountain.
The girl held a candied haws in her hand, looked at the boy in front of her, and asked, "Brother Xiao Ning, where did you get the money to buy the candied haws?"
The young man was carrying a basket on his back, holding a piece of grass in his mouth, and said vaguely: "A fierce woman gave it to me."
The girl looked down at the candied haws in her hand, and finally handed it over and said, "I don't like sour food. Brother Xiao Ning, you can eat it."
The young man did not take it, but waved his hand and said: "The fierce woman gave me two. I only came back after eating one. You should eat quickly..."
When the girl heard this, she obediently took a small bite and asked, "Brother Xiao Ning, Yang Xiucai said he would teach you to read. Do you want to go to school?"
The young man nodded and said: "I want to study. When I get the first prize in the exam, I will buy you a big house in the capital and buy you endless candied haws..."
The girl's beautiful eyes formed a crescent moon. Looking at the thin figure in front of her, a different look appeared in the two clear springs.
…
The capital is the holy place in the heart of every scholar. It has witnessed too many glories and experienced countless turmoils.
Some people are at the bottom and soar to the sky here, while others are at high positions for a long time and fall into the dust overnight.
It has been more than ten years since His Majesty ascended the throne.
In the past ten years, countless things have happened. The genius boy of the Fang family passed the imperial examination eight years ago and became the first three-yuan champion in the history of the Chen Kingdom. However, in recent years, He was silent and unknown, wasting his years in the Hanlin Academy.
Three years ago, a young censor named Han Ming impeached Prime Minister Cai on 28 counts, which stirred up a huge storm in the capital. The once powerful prime minister Cai Cheng fell into power overnight. As a prisoner below the rank.
With the fall of Prime Minister Cai, Cai officials gradually disappeared from the court. In the past few years, His Majesty has completely taken control of the court. Thinking back more than ten years ago, he was still a prince who was not favored by anyone. Today, he has become the sole controller of this court and the Chen Kingdom, causing many people to always look at the imperial city with awe in their eyes.
In the palace.
"Zhao Rui, Xiao Jue, just wait, we will definitely not lose again next time!"
Several teenagers ran away, while looking at the two teenagers behind them, they said harsh words.
Although the two teenagers had bruises and bruises on their arms, it was obvious that they were the victors in the fight. One of the teenagers with a handsome face looked at his companion and asked, "Would you like me to take you to get some cleaning done?" medicine?"
"I'm not going." Xiao Jue glanced at King Huai, shook his head and said: "A manly man, if you have a little skin injury, what kind of medicine should you apply? I'm going back, you can go find your sister Zizhu to apply the medicine..."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the palace.
But when he turned around, the carefree look on his face disappeared, revealing a grimace of pain.
"stop!"
When he was about to walk out of the palace gate, a sharp shout suddenly came from behind him. Hearing this familiar voice, he shuddered, turned around, and said in a trembling voice: "You, what are you doing? I didn't mess with you this time... "
The girl walked up to her, looked him up and down, and asked, "Who did you fight with again?"
Xiao Jue retracted his head: "Even Tang Jing and the others, I didn't mess with your brother..."
"Tang Jing?" The girl glanced at him, thought for a moment, and asked, "I heard that Tang Jing and the others often say bad things about me?"
"I haven't heard of it..." Xiao Jue was startled for a moment, then nodded, and said with great confidence: "I told you, they said Lu Ya was ugly and would definitely not be able to get married in the future. I said they were talking nonsense. Xiao Ya is tall. How beautiful you are, but they still said that about you, which made me angry, so I started fighting with them..."
The girl gritted her silver teeth and said, "Let's go and settle the score with them!"
"I won't go..." Xiao Jue said as he walked out of the palace: "Take care of them, it's best to beat them all into pig heads!"
The girl watched him run away as if he was running away, then burst into laughter and said with some annoyance: "Idiot..."
Several figures came over from a distance, and one of them looked at her from a distance and said, "Xiaoya, Tiantianju has launched a new pastry. Do you want to try it with us?"
Lu Ya waved her hands to them, pinched her knuckles loudly, and said, "I have something else to do, you go ahead..."
Zhao Wan shook her head, looked at the girl beside her, and said, "Forget it if she doesn't go. Let's go. If we go late, it will be gone. If we can't bring some back to Xiao Man today, she will bother me again..."
"I'm not going." The girl shook her head and said, "There are all men there. Whatever you want to eat, just let the servants buy it..."
Zhao Wan held her arm and said: "Oh Shui'er, come with me. I heard that a new master has come to Tiantianju. She looks like a fairy in the sky and is also good at music. I think If you want to see something, just go with me..."
Tang Shui glanced at her and said, "No matter how beautiful she is, she is still a woman. Why are you like those men..."
Princess Anyang glanced at her mouth and said, "I want to see how beautiful she is and how she can charm all the men in the capital..."
"Let's go, let's go..." Tang Shui had no choice but to agree. In fact, she was a little curious about the woman, and couldn't help but ask: "What's the name of the person you mentioned..."
Princess Anyang thought for a while and said: "It seems to be called..., Su Mei..."
【ps: I roughly looked at the chapter that selected the extra chapters, and what everyone is interested in is actually the content after the final chapter, which is the postscript. These days, I have conceived extra chapters for many people, including Chen Huang, Fang Zhe, King Fu, King Huai, Lao Zheng, Lao Beggar, etc. If I really write them out, I am afraid that there will be tens of millions of words. After careful consideration for a long time, I feel that it is unnecessary to write like this. Extra chapters are too energy-consuming. It is better to spend more time on the new book. Therefore, there will be no more extra chapters for individual people in the future. In fact, their stories have been told enough in the main text, and the extra chapters are just expansions, which are not very meaningful.
As for this article, it should be regarded as a prequel. There will be a postscript after that, which is the real ending after the final chapter timeline, but it will be a long time later. Starting tomorrow, I will start preparing for a new book. I want to change the new book to a completely new type. For this purpose, I bought dozens of books and thousands of yuan of materials. The release time is not certain. If you are looking forward to the new book, you can follow Weibo "Not Rong Xiaorong" to learn the latest information. 】
