Bright Moon and Breeze (1) I woke up from the cold!

it's too cold!

Lin Yutong opened his eyes, his head still hurt a little.

In the past few days, I have been lying on the bed. The doctor who came and saw me was said to be the palace doctor. This doctor was very good. After taking medicine for a few days, the symptoms were significantly relieved.

After a few days, Lin Yutong also knew where he was.

But you know, even though my body has been uncomfortable these past few days, my heart has been happy several times.

Why? Because if the Fourth Master figured out where he was and what time period he was in, he would probably be hard-pressed to explain it.

When is it now? It is the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty.

Wanli forty-six years!

Lin Yutong is not sure about the era names of other dynasties, but we are familiar with the Ming Dynasty! The Qing Dynasty took over the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty was the one that touched the most. As the prince Fujin, he didn’t even have this basic skill?

After thinking about it in my mind, I laughed out loud and took pleasure in my misfortune!

Breaking up the timeline, we are now in the Wanli period. Emperor Wanli came down to be Emperor Taichang, Emperor Taichang came down to be Emperor Tianqi, and Emperor Apocalypse came down to be Emperor Chongzhen.

It sounds like there have been several emperors, but how long was the period between the forty-sixth year of Wanli and the seventeenth year of Chongzhen's resignation?

Twenty-six years! Only twenty-six years!

This year should be 1618 AD. When Li Zicheng invaded the capital, it was 1644. Twenty-six years later, the Ming Dynasty fell!

If these two people were reincarnated outside the customs, regardless of their status, whether they were of noble birth or not, even if the Qing Dynasty has not yet been founded, from a psychological point of view, can we take it for granted?

But what a coincidence, where is it now? In the Ming Dynasty.

Lin Yutong still doesn't know where the fourth master is. But her location is in Machang Village in the north of Tongzhou City.

It's near the capital, very close!

If the fourth master is just a common man, then we will live the life of a common man in troubled times, and when we are twenty-six years old, you will become a loyal minister to your grandfather. This is our destiny.

It's scary. It would be fun if the fourth master accidentally chirped and changed his surname to Zhu.

If this is the case, you will definitely not be able to run away. It is just a dream to abandon the Zhu family and go to your Aixinjueluo family.

But if you don’t leave, what should you do? The Ming Dynasty has reached this point, what do you think you should do? See it sinking? Then when the Qing Dynasty enters the pass, your ancestors will not recognize you! Anyone can run away, just take the surname

Zhu can't escape! Don't forget, when you become the emperor, you will still be investigating the remnants of the Ming Dynasty! At that time, how many years had it been since the Ming Dynasty fell?

Then you say, we have to live our lives as remnants of the Ming Dynasty? Our children and grandchildren will all be addicted to being remnants of the Ming Dynasty! If this is the case, it will not only hurt our butts, it will hurt everywhere.

But if you don’t want to be regarded as a remnant after the 26th, you still have to fight hard. Then this is saving the old Zhu family and blocking your ancestors from the customs?! If so, you

How do you feel?

As soon as he thinks like this, Lin Yutong wants to hide under the quilt and laugh three times. My fourth master, don't you have a lot of thoughts? Don't you have a lot of twists and turns in your mind? You have a lot! No matter how much you do, I'll see what's in front of you.

How to untie the knot!

Just want to understand, really, how difficult it was for the Ming Dynasty to reach this point. Anyone who has gone through this period of history knows the current situation. Even if you look at it, you will feel helpless.

Anyway, I asked Lin Yutong to tell me that the Sixteenth Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is really weird. When we find the fourth master later, we can talk about it again.

She has to solve her problem now.

She is now considering the problem based on the worst scenario. It would be fine if the fourth master's surname is Zhu and he is a descendant of the vassal king, but she is afraid that he is in the palace. There is a prince and an unmarried prince in the palace. Moreover, the prince also has

He had a son, and his son was not too young. Chongzhen was already eight or nine years old at this time.

Regardless of who he is in the palace, as long as he is a descendant of the Zhu family, it is not easy to marry him.

In the Qing Dynasty draft, they were selected from the Eight Banners nobles. But not in the Ming Dynasty, they were auditioned!

The ones we want are from the common people. Those whose families don’t have much power, but they must be innocent. Those who come from business backgrounds are not very prosperous, so they have to be from farming and studying backgrounds. There are also those who are officials. It is rare that women from high-ranking officials’ families are selected.

That's it. Of course, before the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the women who married into the royal family were all from prominent backgrounds. But didn't the Zhu family want to marry the hero? After that, it was not the case. They were really selected.

Lin Yutong remembered that it seemed like the queen of Chongzhen. Her father was a fortune teller?

This kind of selection is the audition, and this is how the number of palace concubines comes about! At first, eunuchs from all over the world were called to choose. Later, the scope was narrowed, mainly concentrated in the area of ​​​​North and South Zhili. Wow!

, five to six thousand girls were selected from among the people. If the eunuchs got the message and knew whose girls were beautiful, they would come to recruit you. There are also some who want to go on their own initiative, so sign up yourself.

These thousands of people had to go through the primary election first, and those who were too fat, too thin, and those who were not very attractive at first sight were eliminated. The remaining ones were re-elected. In the re-election, those with bad voices were removed.

Girls who are too dark, have obvious ugly birthmarks, and girls whose hands, feet, arms and legs are not straight, or even those who have big bumps on their big toes, will be removed.

There are only a few hundred people left! Most of these people are palace maids. Whether they can win the favor of the emperor depends on fate. Generally, the princes are selected for concubines, and in the end only three can be left for the queen mother and queen to see. These three

Of the individuals, one of them is the main concubine, and the other two have either been arranged separately or have become side concubines.

This original body was lost because of this audition. Now the people are very afraid when they see the royal family. Most people are not willing to ask girls to enter the palace. Because most of them have no future.

, it’s really like we don’t know whether we will live or die. We are separated by the palace wall, and we will never be able to see the people above us for the rest of our lives. We say at what age they were released, but to be honest, how many people can survive until they leave the palace? Most of them are trapped in the palace.

The affairs in the palace were spread everywhere, and the emperor didn't care about eating with eunuchs. Some palace maids couldn't find anyone to eat with, and they were laughed at. Even the palace concubines who had been neglected for a long time were eating with eunuchs, and the emperor also knew about it, but

Let's leave it to that. In other words, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty are all quite weird! The Wanli Emperor, who has not been in court for thirty years, accounts for half of the official vacancies in the world. Who doesn't want to be an official?

He should submit his resignation, people will not tolerate you. The last time he failed, he ignored him. The next time, he still ignored him. There is a buddy who submitted his resignation seventy-nine times without reply. Then he just hangs up and goes away. Who loves him?

Who should I accept? The emperor didn't ask any questions. Later, this became the norm. If I didn't want to be an official, I would take off my official hat, put him in the lobby of the government office, and leave.

He doesn't even pay attention to the affairs of officials. Does he care whether the maids leave the palace or not? In this case, who dares to ask the maiden to enter the palace?

As soon as I heard that the palace was going to select someone, my dear, firecrackers went off all the way. This is because someone is well-informed and got the message from the palace. As soon as the firecrackers were set off, the whole city was informed. Hurry, there is a girl of the right age.

If so, get married as soon as possible.

There is a young lady from a wealthy family who is afraid of being selected when she reaches her age! What should she do? The eunuch in the palace wants to see someone the next day. If she doesn’t get married, it will be too late! She is so anxious to be a father and a mother.

Time is so tight, we have to see each other the next day, and it's all night, so we have to find someone to marry my daughter overnight. It's already late, and we can't go out to see each other, what should we do? There happens to be a long-term worker at home, and he's not too old.

It was appropriate. I was still stunned when I was called by the host, so I paid homage and entered the bridal chamber.

And Lin Yutong, the original owner of the body, is also afraid! This child also has an older sister, and the two girls in the family don't want to be selected.

What should the two of them do? In the first month of the new year, the Ming Dynasty was freezing to death during the Little Ice Age. The temperature outside was more than 20 degrees below zero. The two sisters were desperate for their lives, and they were still wearing single clothes.

I got wet, and then I ran around the yard in the middle of the night and fell ill when I came back.

She was very ill, with a high fever that refused to go away, and the original person died. The girl's sister is still not well yet. The older sister was in pretty good health, and she lasted longer than the original person. Now she eats

After applying the medicine, Lin Yutong gave me a massage, and my life was saved anyway.

Regarding the draft, we must first find the fourth master. First, the fourth master must be really in the palace, and secondly, we must determine which one in the palace it is! Who is the concubine chosen for this time? Don’t make a mistake.

After thinking about the worst case scenario, and not without luck, I thought that if the fourth master was not in the palace...

If he is not in the palace, where can he find it in such a huge world?

After the fourth master knew about his situation, he must have wanted to find him. Where could he look for him? The Forbidden City was inherited from the Ming Dynasty, and there must be no Prince Yong's Mansion now, so he would definitely have to go outside the palace to find him.

For both of them, the Forbidden City is an iconic place.

You have to go! At least you have to leave a password and let him know where you are.

If you guess wrong, that's for the best! I just hope he is a commoner.

Anyway, no matter what you say, you must connect the head first.

If you want to have sex, you have to go out! If you want to go out, how difficult it is for the women of the Ming Dynasty to go out!

Fortunately, I don't have small feet! Because the founding queen has big feet, so during the draft, she didn't explicitly say that she doesn't want big feet, but if she wanted to select them, it would probably be difficult without the Fourth Master operating behind the scenes. It would have to be in the draft.

Under the premise that the Fourth Master's surname was Zhu, let's not mention this for now. Her mind was in chaos, and she had one idea at a time. She forced herself to focus on one point, that is, how to go out and contact the Fourth Master.

This girl's father is still alive and working as a teacher at Wendao Academy in Tongzhou. This man's name is Lin Baowen. He married the Wang family and gave birth to a son and two daughters. Unfortunately, when she was pregnant with her fourth child, she had difficulty giving birth and died.

Two lives, mother and son are gone. There is an old concubine in the family, Aunt Wen, who has no children. She usually takes care of the house and is a docile person.

The eldest brother Lin Yu is nineteen years old and serves as a school captain in Jinyiwei. On weekdays, he has many errands and cannot return home once every three to five days.

Wen Dao Academy was in the mountains, and Lin Baowen wouldn't come back when the weather was bad. Otherwise, the two sisters wouldn't have been able to do this.

Aunt Wen was so scared that she almost jumped into the well!

In fact, she had been wondering in the past two days why her father was a Juren, from such a scholarly family, but his son went to Jinyiwei. This doubt was kept in her heart, popping up from time to time, and then suppressed it.

I was about to think about going out again. The door creaked and was pushed open. The family's rough messenger, Mrs. Wang, came in and was about to burn the kang. When she came in, she saw that Lin Yutong was awake and whispered: "Sanniang is awake."

?”

Well! Wake up.

There is also a sleeping person lying on the kang. She is the original sister, who is called Erniang in the family, and her maiden name is Yushan.

There were only ashes left in the stove. I added a handful of firewood and blew on it, and the fire started. Then I used this fire to light the kang, and the room immediately started to smoke, which was very choking.

Don't look at the fact that he is both a civil servant and a royal guard. The salary of the court is very pitiful, and the family is very poor. There are four masters in this family, but there are not many servants!

Aunt Wen serves the master, and there is a fourteen-year-old boy in the family who follows the eldest son around. There is also an old man Cui Bo who looks after the door, and the old lady in front of her.

There are no maids, let's say it's a young lady, so you have to do everything yourself.

It was so cold! Wearing a small cotton-padded jacket was not warm even under the quilt. She simply got up and put on the big cotton-padded jacket and cotton trousers.
