The little girl was petite, and she was already out of breath when she helped Chen Chang up. She could feel her hand holding the spoon trembling slightly.
After just a few sips, Chen Chang suddenly coughed violently. He admitted that the light clear soup was very tempting, and the strong aroma and delicious taste made him salivate, as he was already hungry, so he drank too quickly.
The little girl gently beat Chen Chang's back several times and said softly: "Your body is very weak. This fat and tender chicken soup has been simmered for a day and a night. Drink it slowly to replenish your vitality."
After Chen Chang drank a few more mouthfuls of chicken soup, his eyes gradually became brighter. He stared at her, guessing her identity and thinking about his situation.
"You...your name is...Xiao Yu'er?"
"Well!" The little girl lowered her head and did not dare to look at Chen Chang when he asked.
The two of them asked and answered questions, and Chen Chang finally figured out the current situation. He was hired by the middle-aged manager for a period of one month, five times a month.
Is there really such a thing as pie in the sky?
In his previous life, he was so sharp that he was inevitably jealous and resented by others. The betrayal by his good brother is the best proof of this.
At this time, he was reborn in this vassal country. It seemed that God was reminding him to tuck his tail between his legs and become a human being.
Chen Chang sat on the bedside and looked out the window. All he saw was the cornices and brackets, and the winding waist of the corridor, just like the intrigues and twists and turns of the human heart.
In my previous life, I was obsessed with making my business bigger. I experienced too many intrigues and intrigues, and I also felt tired. However, this road has a beginning and an end, and I can no longer go back.
The desire for money, power, honor, etc., is like a pair of invisible big hands constantly pushing him to climb higher. If he relaxes even a step, he will fall into the abyss, and he will be ruined not only by himself.
His life, as well as the huge business empire he built with his own hands, and all the people who depend on him.
He sighed heavily. After this calamity, he had seen through everything.
Right or wrong, success or failure turns into nothing.
Of everything in the world, no one can take away a single plant or tree. The endless competition and intrigues among people are all caused by mediocre people. In the end, it is all in vain. Everyone comes empty-handed, and naturally returns empty-handed.

Chen Changsu knows that during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, on the surface, it seemed to be a period of war and disaster. The central government was weak and changed frequently, but the vitality of the entire nation was extremely strong, and the pace of civilization progress was very rapid.
A hundred schools of thought contended once again in the social ideological trend. Famous scholars emerged one after another and various schools merged. The achievements were far more fruitful than those of the Han Dynasty, which opened up the grand pattern of Tang and Song civilization in the future.
It would be good if you could visit famous mountains and rivers, drink wine, talk about mysteries, play the piano, compose poems, and imitate the broad-mindedness, elegance, and free spirit of famous people in the Wei and Jin Dynasties.
If you long for it with your heart, you will definitely get it.
What surprised Chen Chang was that the family's surname was Lou.
It was his wife's house that he had never visited.
I was originally going to be a uncle, but now I am a servant?
Is this considered a cliffhanger?
The "wife" who is about to marry him is named Lou Qingyi. She is just seventeen years old this year and is the granddaughter of the old man.
This old man seemed to have been an official in the Liang Dynasty before, but Xiao Yu'er couldn't tell clearly, and Chen Chang didn't want to get to the bottom of it. Anyway, he just assumed that he had retired and enjoyed his old age.
The house they are currently in is not in the big house. It was prepared for the young lady to get married. Currently, the young lady still lives in the big house.
The two houses are only separated by an alley, so it is convenient to come and go.
After thinking about it, I feel like a son-in-law coming to the house. The wedding room was prepared by the woman. Chen Chang is really embarrassed.
Like a curious baby, Xiao Yuer asked Chen Chang many questions. Sometimes Chen Chang didn't know how to answer, so he said he had forgotten.
Xiao Yu'er was also surprised why Chen Chang couldn't remember anything. Chen Chang, who is well versed in conversational skills, did not answer directly, but asked: "Don't you know why I am like this?"
Xiaoyuer shook his head.
"Let me tell you this, my brain is flooded with water! When we came to Gangneung, the boat capsized, so my brain was flooded with water." Chen Chang originally wanted to try patting his thigh, but he didn't have the strength, so he raised his arm slightly.
It was just a bit of a feint.
"Is your brain flooded?" Xiao Yu'er frowned slightly.
"Oh, it just means I'm stupid!" He told nonsense in order to get through.
Xiao Yuer waved her hands repeatedly: "My uncle is not stupid. I heard from the young lady that my uncle is a scholar. He can read books... he can read books..."
Seeing that the little girl couldn't make up any more, Chen Chang smiled bitterly.
"Am I here to be a servant or do something else?" Chen Chang asked again.
Under Chen Chang's stalking attack, Xiao Yu'er lowered her head as if she had done something wrong, twisted her clothes with her fingers, and told the whole story.
It turns out that the five guan money given during recruitment was the rental fee for myself. It seems that in the Southern Dynasties, there was a practice of renting a boyfriend to go home for the New Year.
All this was done to deal with the second uncle and the third uncle.
Chen Chang was puzzled. Marriage was a big deal in ancient times, especially important to a woman. Wouldn't this be too hasty?
In fact, it was Miss or Ziling who should have told Chen Chang these things. However, Xiao Yuer was no match for him at all, and he got it out of him in just a few words.
Chen Chang looked at Xiao Yu'er and seemed not to know that he was the son-in-law of the Lou family.
In other words, his current identity is that of a laborer in the Lou family.
Chen Chang wondered if Miss Lou knew his true identity.
With Xiao Yuer's introduction, he basically figured out the relationship between the Lou family.
The relationship between our big families is very messy and complicated.
Lou Qingyi is the granddaughter of the eldest daughter of the Lou family, but she is from a single-parent family. Her father died during the Hou Jing Rebellion. In addition to her mother and younger brother, there are two aunts in the family.
As for the Lou family, there are three uncles. Although Chen Chang has never met them, he has roughly learned from listening to two of them that their tempers are not good.
The fourth uncle was a few years older than Lou Qingyi. It was said that he was separated during the war. He had been searching for him for several years but could not find him. Together with the death of Lou Qingyi's father, he was the two major concerns of the old man.
After having a general understanding of the situation, Chen Chang proposed a condition to Xiao Yu'er, that is, he would continue to pretend to be stunned so that Xiao Yu'er would not expose him for the time being.
In return, he can tell her how to make the red wedding dress with a hole in it flawless.
He knew that this was something Xiao Yu'er simply couldn't refuse.
Xiao Yu'er was extremely panicked when he got into trouble, and his mind was still a little confused at the moment. When he learned that the patch was made with a piece of red cloth, he didn't realize that it was Chen Chang who was teasing him, and instead thanked him repeatedly.
People in this era are so simple.
Shui Ling'er is like this, and so is this little maid.
"Why do you believe me?"
"My uncle...my uncle doesn't look like a bad person. Xiao Yu'er...naturally believes that my uncle will not harm others."
Chen Chang, who was drinking water, squirted out.
Well, I am defeated by your naivety!
