When I returned to my courtyard, servants had already prepared hot water.
Sheng Changbai took a bath by himself instead of using a maid to serve him.
Thanks to Sheng Changbai's ignorance, he has always consciously stayed away from women.
Sheng Changbai was spared the embarrassment of being taken care of by a woman in the shower.
After drinking another bowl of ginger soup, I went back to my big carved bed and lay down, thinking.
To be honest, although the time of travel this time was not good, I traveled directly to ancient times.
Recalling history, Sheng Changbai judged that the current time was probably around 1000 AD, which was a thousand years behind the modern scientific and technological society.
If you want to enjoy modern and convenient life in this life, it is definitely impossible.
But because he was born into a wealthy official family, Sheng Changbai's life was not bad.
Let’s not talk about other things, but in Sheng Changbai’s own courtyard, there are more than a dozen maids, servants, servants, and attendants in total.
Although there are not all kinds of modern and convenient facilities, most things can be done using human power.
When it comes to the enjoyment of life, it can be said that ancient times were even better than modern times.
Of course, ancient times are ancient times after all, and there are many aspects such as travel, public security, medical care, entertainment, etc. that are not comparable to modern society.
But let's take care of things as they come. Now that we have come to this era, Sheng Changbai can only try his best to think about things on the bright side.
No matter what, this was the best reincarnation for Sheng Changbai.
My father, Yangzhou Tongpan, was equivalent to a deputy mayor in later generations.
Then Sheng Changbai began to think about the system again. He could try signing in first. It was his first time in ancient society and he didn't know what he could sign in for.
If it is still the same old way of signing in and paying RMB, it can be said to be useless.
"System, sign in!"
"Congratulations to the host for getting: one hundred copper coins and one pound of sweet-scented osmanthus cake."
The system can adapt to the times, but the money is a bit low.
The basic monetary unit of the Zhou Dynasty was still copper coins, with one thousand coins being the most consistent.
When the imperial court made money, it was a good idea. One tael of silver was equal to one tael of silver, and one tael of gold was equal to ten taels of silver.
However, due to the lack of silver in the imperial court, silver is now precious and copper is cheap.
It usually takes 1,500 copper coins to exchange for one tael of silver.
This is the current price. As the shortage of silver in the court becomes more and more serious, it is not surprising that even if it becomes 2,000 yuan, it can be exchanged for one tael of silver.
At the same time in history, during the Southern Song Dynasty, it took three to four thousand coins to exchange for one tael of silver.
Gold and silver retain their value much better than copper coins, so wealthy families like to hide gold and silver, not just because copper coins are too heavy and difficult to collect.
One stone of rice cost 700 Wen, which is about sixty kilograms in modern terms.
A regular amount of money is actually enough for a poor family of three or four to maintain their daily lives.
Of course, this is just to maintain life. For the civilian class, which is the largest group, a family still needs two or three dollars a month.
For Sheng Changbai, even if he signed in for 100 cents a day, it would only cost 3,000 cents a month, and exchanging it for two taels of silver was of little use.
After all, Sheng Changbai's monthly allowance is twenty taels.
This little money is used by Sheng Changbai to buy some odds and ends and give rewards.
Sheng Changbai's main source of money does not come from this monthly routine that everyone in the Sheng family has.
The biggest source of money comes from private subsidies from his mother, Wang Ruofu.
Ten or twenty taels per month is not too little, and thirty or fifty taels is not too much.

Sheng Changbai's experience in the last world was long enough, and it was not in vain.
Gan has developed several master-level skills. Most of the skills are not in vain and can be used in this era.
If Sheng Changbai wants to develop some skills, he can make them useful.
If I really want to talk about the skills I don’t have, it’s not much.
After understanding his own situation, Sheng Changbai recalled the recent events in the Sheng family.
The Sheng family has been very lively these days, and there was a happy event just yesterday.
Yesterday was the day when Sheng's eldest daughter, Changbai's eldest sister Sheng Hualan, and her future husband's husband, the Earl of Zhongqin, came to the Sheng family to present themselves for employment.
When Sheng Hualan married Ji, that is, when she was fifteen, Sheng Hong began to arrange the marriage for Sheng Hualan.
After making thousands of choices, Sheng Hong settled on Yuan Wenshao, the second son of Earl Zhongqin's mansion, for Sheng Hualan.
Sheng Hong was just a sixth-rank official in Yangzhou, and his daughter married into a hereditary count's house.
When it comes to rank, the Earl is also a fourth rank. From the appearance of a well-matched couple, this marriage family is somewhat of a high ranking.
But in fact, Sheng Changbai's wife Wang Ruofu didn't think much of this marriage.
The name of the Yuan Family's Earl's Mansion sounds pretty good, but in fact it's just a run-down family.
The Earl's Mansion only had an empty title. During the last emperor's reign, the Yuan family was involved in a rebellion and was deprived of the title.
It was also the current emperor who ascended the throne, granted amnesty to the world, and investigated old cases.
I felt that the Yuan family was not deeply involved in the rebellion and that the deprivation of the title was a bit unfair, so I restored the Yuan family's title.
But because the Yuan family was involved in the rebellion, he reprimanded the Yuan family for being careless and misbehaving.
The Yuan family had such a dark history, so of course they would not be reused. The emperor restored the title of the Yuan family, but it was only a restoration of the title.
In a feudal society, if the emperor despises the family, of course the family will have no future.
Without a future, Yuan Wenshao, the second son of the Yuan family, would not be able to marry a daughter from a high-ranking family of the same family as his own.
Not willing to marry the daughter of an ordinary family, Yuan Wenshao has become an older leftover man of this era, who is in his early twenties and has not yet married.
Sheng Hong is a man who is shrewd and smart outside, and is well-versed in everything he does. When it's not about concubines or housework, he seems to be a more understanding person than anyone else.
Seeing that the Yuan family has suffered and learned a lesson, they will not be involved in the struggle for the throne during this sensitive period when the emperor is old, in poor health and the imperial power is changing.
Yuan Wenshao is considered capable and sensible among the noble disciples.
Even if Yuan Wenshao is in trouble and has no future, he still has a guarantee. With an uncle to rely on, it is not difficult to achieve a certain level of wealth.
Sheng Hualan chose such a husband's family for the sake of stability.
Wang Ruofu was not satisfied with this marriage, and the Yuan family also felt wronged by marrying a daughter of the Sheng family.
So Yuan Wenshao, the eldest brother who came to Yangzhou to recruit, persuaded Gu Tingye, whose pseudonym was Bai Ye.
He and Sheng Changbai's stupid third brother Sheng Changfeng had a gambling battle and almost exported Hualan's betrothal geese.
The Yuan family wanted to show off to the Sheng family in front of all the prominent officials, squires and elders in Yangzhou.
It was only thanks to Sheng Minglan, the sixth eldest son of the Sheng family, that a six-year-old boy turned the tide and beat Gu Tingye in a pot throw, thus saving the Sheng family's face.
Sheng Lao Liu stole the limelight and highlighted Sheng Lao San's incompetence.
He made meritorious deeds in front of Sheng Hong and Wang Ruofu, but also offended Sheng Laosan's biological mother, Lin Jiaoshuang and Lin Xiaoniang.
Later, Gu Tingye, who was wandering around the Sheng family, saw that Sheng Changbai had a map of the sixteen states of Yanyun.
Sheng Changbai wanted to borrow it to watch, but Sheng Changbai was angry that Gu Tingye wanted to disgrace the Sheng family and was a bad guest and refused to borrow it. Gu Tingye revealed the truth about the gambling fight.
Then Gu Tingye apologized sincerely, and Sheng Changbai forgave Gu Tingye and lent the picture to Gu Tingye.
This led to the incident today when Gu Tingye invited Sheng Changbai to have dinner on the boat and was attacked.
From the basic point of view, Sheng Laoliu was doing this for the sake of the entire Sheng family and Sheng Changbai's sister Sheng Hualan.
Having just aroused Lin Zongshuang's jealousy, Sheng Changbai was still very necessary.
Help Sheng Lao Liu, so that Sheng Lao Liu's child will not be plotted by Lin Zhishuang, and the child will not be too miserable.
The next day, Sheng Changbai woke up, washed, dressed, tied his hair, and tidied up under the service of the maid.
It was already Chen time, that is, seven o'clock in the morning. Sheng Changbai came to the main room first and asked Sheng Hong and Wang Ruofu to come in early.
In feudal society, it was quite troublesome for wealthy families to adjust their morning and evening routines.
But I already enjoy such a good life and live in a deep compound. If I don't pay special attention, everyone in the family is busy with their own affairs, and they may not be able to see each other in a day.
It’s not too much to come over every morning and evening and say hello to your parents.
Most of the traditional rules make more or less sense.
There is also an old lady in the Sheng family, Sheng Changbai's nominal grandmother, and according to the rules, she should go and greet her.
Not only Sheng Changbai should go there, but everyone in the Sheng family, including Sheng Hong's concubine, should also go there to say hello.
But the old lady likes peace and quiet, so she doesn't like everyone's greetings.
Sheng Changbai was not the only one who came over to Wang Ruofu's side. The elder Sheng, Sheng Hualan, and the fifth Sheng, Sheng Rulan, also came over to greet their parents.
But in the end, only the three children born to Wang Ruofu and the three biological sisters born to Sheng Changbai were born.
It can be seen that the Sheng family does not have many rules. The other three children of the Sheng family do not even have the etiquette to wake their parents up in the morning and dusk.
It is understandable that some children are young, such as Sheng Laoliu, so they do not need to read the morning and evening routines.
Sheng Changfeng, the third eldest son of the Sheng family, is only two years younger than Sheng Changbai, already ten years old. In ancient times, he was considered half a teenager. He was pampered by Miss Sheng Honglin and had no rules.
"Changbai, Hualan, you can stay here for dinner today."
After greetings, Wang Ruofu left Sheng Hualan and Sheng Changbai behind.
There were no outsiders, so Wang Ruofu arranged a big table for the whole family to sit and eat together.
A large group of ladies and maids filed in, carrying lunch boxes, and quickly filled the table.
Lotus root honey cake, butter pine stuffed puff pastry, fried cake, meat floss and garlic rolls, honey sesame balls, jujube boiled japonica rice porridge, red rice porridge, bacon steamed egg, bird's nest stewed egg, shredded stir-fried beef breast, sesame oil cold salad Shredded bacon and an eight-treasure box of assorted pickles made up of sixteen kinds of side dishes.
This breakfast can only be said to be luxurious. Sheng Changbai can only say that the evil feudal society is too decadent.
In a wealthy family, it is important not to talk when sleeping and not talking when eating, so Sheng Changbai could only turn his anger into appetite.
To be elegant yet fast, feed yourself first.
It is not that Sheng Changbai has never been a rich man. His wealth has always been a few small goals throughout his life, but he has never had a family, and he has hundreds of people to serve him on a daily basis.
Having breakfast at home is so luxurious, sophisticated and tossing.
The taste of breakfast can only be said to be unexpectedly good.
Now Sheng Changbai is very sure that it is all nonsense to say that the food of ancient emperors was not as good as that of modern common people.
The catering in this era has been very developed, although there are no modern condiments.
But because there are various methods such as soup stock and excellent ingredients, the taste of various foods is definitely not inferior to modern times.
It can be said that the diet of the poor in this era was very poor, but this definitely did not include the ruling class like the Sheng family.
The best cooks can say that restaurants that are not open outside are all in the kitchens of wealthy families.
"Father, have you found Zhong Huai?"
After Sheng Hong put down his chopsticks and finished his breakfast, Sheng Changbai asked.
In just one day, Sheng Changbai and Gu Tingye had become in tune with each other and could be said to have become friends.
Sheng Changbai came through time travel, so he changed his name unexpectedly.
Yesterday, Sheng Changbai went to rest early, but Sheng Hong, the general judge, could not rest.
Returning to the Yamen, I waited with the magistrate and various officials in Yangzhou for the news that the Yamen officials were looking for him.
It can be said that yesterday, the entire Yangzhou was mobilized, the city of Yangzhou was turned upside down, and people were searched for people from house to house.
"Bai'er, let's go to the side hall to talk."
Sheng Changbai followed Sheng Hong to the side hall and sat down, taking the tea from the envoy.
Sheng Hong took advantage of the tea time to organize his words: "Bai'er, you have to express your condolences. When we found Brother Gu yesterday, we only found one body."
"Father, are you sure it's Zhong Huai?"
Sheng Hong's face darkened and he continued: "The body has been soaked for half the night and is already swollen. It wears the same clothes as Brother Gu and is covered with knife wounds. It cannot be someone else with sword wounds."
"Can you ask me to prove my identity?"
Knowing that Gu Tingye had faked his death to escape, Sheng Changbai continued to ask.
"The body was soaked for half the night. We couldn't find out much from the examination, but we can confirm that the body is that of a young man."
In this era, there was no Song Ci, and no one in forensic science had yet made a detailed and systematic summary and popularized it on a large scale, and the level of forensic science was still lacking.
"Can I go take a look?"
Sheng Changbai still wanted to take a look with his own eyes and determine whether Gu Tingye was alive or dead.
After sighing, Sheng Hong responded: "That's all, if you want to go and see it, come with me to the Yamen later to see Brother Gu one last time."
Sheng Hong still relied heavily on Sheng Changbai, the young, mature, smart and steady eldest son.
Although Sheng Hong was a strict father in the feudal sense, he never gave Sheng Changbai any good looks or praise.
But Sheng Hong was able to agree to some of the requests made by Sheng Changbai that were not excessive.
"Thank you, father. I'll go to Mr. Zhuang to ask for leave first."
After all, Sheng Changbai was only twelve years old and still a student. Although Sheng Changbai didn't have to go to school, Sheng Hong hired him as a tutor.
But if you want to go out for activities, as a student, it is necessary to ask for leave first.
