There is a reason why Lin Wanwan said that she is a hermit in the mountains.
At the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, wars continued and the world was in chaos. Many old families chose to live in seclusion in the mountains and swamps. Later, the world became peaceful and the court was thirsty for talents. Li Shimin attached great importance to reclusive people and often recruited them with heavy gifts to show this.
Courtesy and desire for celebrities and wise men.
He even ordered local officials to visit the mountain in person and pay homage to him, giving him generous gifts.
After all, Lin Wanwan also graduated from the 985 and 211 universities with a bachelor's degree. If it weren't for the fact that she had no father or mother and wanted to leave the ivory tower as soon as possible to support herself, she could have even secured a graduate degree. In fact, at the end of the first semester of her senior year, she got an offer from a foreign company.
It was only because her boss coveted her that she resigned in anger.
Now that she has traveled to the Tang Dynasty and pretended to be a hermit, it is more than enough. Not to mention that Lin Wanwan is wearing gorgeous clothes that far exceed the current social and technological level, which further supports her statement.
Being a hermit can bring her a lot of conveniences. Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, of course, scholars rank first.
After Lin Wanwan thought for a moment, she asked again: "Wanghai, is it the Wanghai area in Luan County, Jiangnan Province?"
The shop clerk nodded: "That's right. The county seat of Luan County is in Xiaoxi Town. It takes two hours by carriage."
It turns out that I am still in Yongcheng, even the location has not changed, but I have traveled through time and space for a thousand years.
Lin Wanwan stared out the window blankly, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Who would have thought that such a desolate town would become blooming with flowers after a thousand years.
Retracting her mind, Lin Wanwan said softly: "I am a female prostitute with no name and no virtue. I am not among the people recruited by the imperial court. Why should I go to the county government to make people uncomfortable? I just want to find my own tribe."
This sentence is not without purpose.
Lin Wanwan changed her mother's surname to "Lin" after she was abandoned by her grandparents and raised by her grandparents.
The Lin family has lived in Yongcheng for generations. The recorded genealogy can be traced back to the Ming Dynasty. I don’t know if there are ancestors in the Tang Dynasty. Since you are here, you might as well look for it.
The shop assistant asked curiously: "What family does your guest come from? I have lived in Wanghai for generations. There is no place in this area that I don't know. Maybe I can provide some information to my guest."
"My ancestor's surname is Lin, Hou Tao Lin. I wonder if you have heard of it?"
"Oh!" the shop assistant slapped his thigh, "Mr. Hou Taolin! You have found the right person. I, I am the Hou Taolin family! My name is Lin Mengli. I am the second eldest child in my family. I am twenty-three this year.
How old is your wife, and what should you call her?"
"It turns out that the young man and I are of the same race, which is a coincidence. My surname is Lin Wanwan, I am the only daughter in the family, and I am twenty-two years old."
Lin Mengli said: "It turns out it's the aunt, you're polite!"
Lin Wanwan: "..."
I really don’t get used to hearing the title of Tang Dynasty, auntie, auntie, I was called old all of a sudden.
"Master calls me Wan Niang, so Brother Meng Li should also call me Wan Niang."
"This...Okay, Wan Niang. By the way, Wan Niang, with your talent and appearance, you must be a direct descendant, right? Your direct descendants moved out of the ancestral home during the chaos of the previous dynasty, and I don't know what else is going on.
How are people?"
Lin Wanwan sighed sadly and said: "I only know that I am a descendant of the Hou Taolin clan. I don't know which branch I belong to, and the other clansmen don't even know. Master has never mentioned it to me. Alas."
Lin Mengli said excitedly: "Wan Niang, regardless of the direct branches, since we are the Hou Taolin family, then we are all a family and have the same ancestor. You can talk to me after meeting the patriarch of the Hui clan."
Lin Wanwan readily agreed. She didn't expect such a coincidence. In this case, the issue of household registration should not be a problem. The two agreed to return to Linjiazhuang together when Lin Mengli took a rest at the end of the month.
After Lin Mengli left, Lin Wanwan leaned against the window, holding her chin, looking out the window, thinking lightly about her future life in the Tang Dynasty.
Do you really want to stay in the Tang Dynasty?
Lin Wanwan has no nostalgia for people thousands of years later. Her grandparents have passed away. There are neither relatives nor a place for her to live there. She doesn't even have many friends. The only friend she is familiar with is
Chen Jinyu. But their relationship has always been as light as water.
But, after all, modern society is much more comfortable than ancient times.
While she was thinking about it, Lin Wanwan suddenly felt a cold feeling on her left wrist. Her heart moved, and she lifted up her wide sleeves. Under the sunlight, the jade bracelet was also emitting a faint light.
Lin Wanwan opened her mouth slightly and stayed for a moment. Then she seemed to think of something. She closed her eyes and counted three times silently in her heart. When she opened her eyes again, a green wooden door appeared in the room.
Lin Wanwan paused for a moment, then looked back at the sleeping little guy, walked over, and held her in her arms. Then, she stretched out her hand to push the door, but the door kept moving back, and she could not touch it at all.
"What's going on?" Lin Wanwan's heart was raised. After thinking for a moment, she looked at the little guy in her arms and secretly asked, "Is it because of her?"
After pondering for a long time, Lin Wanwan put down the little guy, and placed one gold and six guans of money next to the little guy. Then, she stood up and pushed towards the wooden door again.
This time, the wooden door was pushed open, and a bizarre modern scene appeared in front of us again. At this time, the sales office was already brightly lit, and through the leaves, the shadowy figures in the hall were vaguely visible.
I'm back?
Lin Wanwan's heart beat violently "thump, thump".
The jade bracelet can actually take her through time and space?! Then can she go back? Although she just picked up the little bean bag in the afternoon, she was still a little confused when she was abandoned like this.
She took a deep breath and managed to calm down, then closed her eyes and meditated on the wooden door again. The next second she opened her eyes, the wooden door appeared in front of her again.
Lin Wanwan opened the door and when she came out, she was in an ancient room from thousands of years ago.
She can travel back and forth between two time and space!
After living for twenty-two years, Lin Wanwan felt ecstasy for the first time, and her whole soul seemed to be lit up. She can buy her grandparents' small villa! She can have her own home! She wants to be prosperous.
Got it!
Lin Wanwan rushed back to the summer of 2022 without stopping, put on a mask, strode out of the sales office yard, came to the busy streets, opened the mobile app and hailed a taxi directly, targeting the supermarket!
While sitting in the car, she texted Chen Jinyu back, first apologizing, and then clicked to accept the one thousand and five days' wages. When she arrived at the supermarket, it was almost closing time.
Lin Wanwan went straight to the grains and grains section, where there was a good item that only cost twenty yuan a pound in modern times, but was worth gold in the Tang Dynasty - peppercorns!
Lin Wanwan remembered clearly that when she first read the information, the most common thing found from the homes of corrupt officials in the Tang Dynasty was pepper! Pepper, whether in the Tang Dynasty or ancient Europe, was "black gold"!
She wants to use pepper to exchange for antiques from the Tang Dynasty! Then she will sell the antiques to buy back her grandparents’ small villa! With pepper, she doesn’t need to prepare anything more, and she will become a rich woman!
