"Wow~ This is the manor of a rich family. It's so big and beautiful. It's worth slicing it up in this life, and it can't be sold for more than the price."
Well, congratulations to little friend Xiahoulan for successfully mastering the "Incoherent" skill. The skill level is now Lv.0. Please use this skill more to gain more skill proficiency and finally reach Lv.Max. No one can understand it.
The ultimate state of your words.
"I said Zhiruo, please don't be so exaggerated. You will definitely make your country bumpkin smell smell bad. You have such a fragrant name, but you look like this. You are really
A model that does not live up to its name.”
Zhiruo is Xia Houlan's cousin. Well, Li Shushi admitted that he was a little startled when he first heard Xia Houlan's cousin. After all, the woman whose sofa was too short for love left a real impression on him.
It's true. Looking back many years later, maybe that Zhiruo was actually a sexual yandere that preceded the God of Hatchets. She must have such terrifying attributes.
"I said, dear prefect, you also know that I am a country bumpkin who has never seen much of the world, so you should give us a chance to transform from a country bumpkin into a delicious dumpling. Otherwise, we who originally wanted to become a delicious dumpling will not be able to do it."
If it turns out to be a burnt bun, wouldn't it be too bad? If it's even worse and becomes a burnt bun, wouldn't it mean that you have lost a subordinate with a great future?"
"You mean I'm a lazy bun-making chef!" (Note: in the conversation between Xia Houlan and Li Shushi, neta refers to the cartoon burnt bread that was once popular in Japan and Southeast Asia) Li Shushi's smile at this time was a sinister one.
Horrible.
"Hehe, it's a blessing for us that your master is so self-aware."
In response to Xia Houlan's ridicule, Li Shushi could only raise his head at an angle of 45° to face the bright sunshine, silently shedding two lines of tears. Of course, these tears were not because a certain boy's words hit the target, but just because the sun was too dazzling.
Speaking of which, the current Zhen Family Manor is really "simple" in the eyes of people like Li Shushi who have been there before. At least the woods that were once so arrogant and specially used to hang stone barriers are now much sparse, and the original elegant
The courtyard wall has now disappeared, replaced by thick stone bricks. Although it has no artistic feeling at all, it can give people more sense of security. At the same time, a lot of defense facilities have been added to the courtyard wall.
You can see the people patrolling up and down.
If the previous Zhenjia Manor gave people the impression of a luxury holiday villa used by wealthy people for vacation, then the current Zhenjia Manor at least gives people the feeling of a military bunker in appearance. Of course, even if it is already "simple"
to such an extent that the castle
, in the eyes of those villagers who have never seen the world, such as the villagers of Zhaojiacun led by Xia Houlan and many people in Li Shushi's bodyguard, he is still so unattainable. In fact, if Li Shushi had not been here before, he might not be able to do anything.
Go somewhere.
Of course, it is more likely that he will feel that the castle in front of him is much more valuable than the previous mountain villa, because this castle looks more majestic, and the sense of wealth in that manor is obviously more restrained and profound.
Because of the steward from the Zhen family manor, Li Shushi did not accept the interrogation of the manor guards and all marched into the huge manor. At this time, the ordinary soldiers took back what they thought was not enough.
With his sight, although the manor’s extraordinary magnificence is dazzling, he
They are also proud soldiers of their own. Not to mention that in their opinion, although the manor is quite steeply built and the quantity and quality of the guards are not bad, if a war really breaks out, then they will definitely
To be able to capture this small fortress, they have never seen any enemy.
Of course, Li Shushi didn't know this idea, otherwise he would have slapped his head and helplessly told those overly proud soldiers - without the help of siege equipment, just your flesh and blood
If you don’t have thousands of people, don’t even think about visiting this castle. Well, yes
Thousands of people need to be killed in battle. As long as the remaining people still have the courage to pick up weapons and rush forward, they may be the lucky ones to pick up the fruits of victory. Of course, he may go to hell to find his few
A good gay friend went to brag and say that he had seen the beautiful little princess in the castle.
The Zhen Family Manor seems to be tight on the outside and wide on the inside. Compared with the complex defense facilities and the large number of serious-looking personnel on duty outside, the inside of the manor seems to be in two completely different worlds from the outside, with no trace at all.
There was a tense atmosphere, and nothing else could be seen on the faces of the maids and servants who were walking back and forth except a little tiredness.
Receiving Li Shushi and his party was Zhen Yan, the second son of Zhen Yi, the head of the family. He was also the new generation leader of the Zhen family after Zhen Yi's eldest son died of illness and his time was running out. This wedding also saw Zhen Yan go to the front desk to fully take charge of Zhen Yi.
An opportunity for family affairs.
"Brother Shu Shi, Brother Bo Ren is here well. I have been waiting here for you for a long time."
It can be seen that Zhen Yan did not welcome Dian Wei and Li Shushi as much as expected. Think about it, compared to the three princes who had been born in the past, although they were the third princes of the Wang Mang Dynasty, they were not as good as ordinary people.
The Zhen family who were able to obtain official positions could not compete with either Dian Wei, a knight-errant, or Li Shushi, a son who was nominally a powerful person from the frontier.
Originally, the eldest sister of the family was betrothed to Yan Liang, a promising young man from the Yan family, a family of poets and calligraphers. In the Zhen family's opinion, she was definitely a good match. Moreover, the Yan family had a good academic background, and marrying her would also be beneficial to their children's studies, just like
The main reason why the Zhen family became rich was because Zhen Han, the founding ancestor of the Zhen family, married the daughter of Kong Guang, the 14th grandson of Confucius, and thus had the qualifications for advancement.
However, the He Yan family finally regretted the marriage, which made the Zhen family very embarrassed. After all, if this kind of thing spreads, it is conceivable that the rumors about the Zhen family will spread. If their daughter wants to marry a good woman,
It's quite difficult for others.
If it was Li Shushi who married the eldest daughter of the Zhen family at that time, then everyone in the Zhen family would have no objection. After all, although Li Shushi was just a poor peasant, he was adopted into a decent aristocratic family and became the heir. Besides, his daughter had to break off the engagement because of
The problem itself has affected his marriage, so it's hard to say who is suffering more.
But the problem was that Li Shushi was a time traveler, so he chose a young man who was still doing soy sauce from the perspective of development, and the eldest daughter Zhen Jiang married the then-younger daughter Zhen Jiang with the coordination of Tong Yuan and Zhen Yi.
In fact, Dian Wei should still be considered a fugitive.
A noble flower inserted into XXOO is naturally a very ironic thing. Originally, for the sake of Li Shushi, who seemed to be prosperous, it was okay, but the pair of Li Shushi and Xiao Zhenqing...
Something went wrong.
It is said that at that time, Zhang Jiao had been completely suppressed by Lu Zhi and could only huddle in the area south of Julu County. Although Zhang Jiao had been suppressed by Lu Zhi and could not move forward, after all, his minions were still active in various parts of Jizhou. Compared with
In cities guarded by officials who would flee whenever they heard the Yellow Turban Army was nearby, a family fortress like the Zhen family's was more reassuring, so some literati whose hometowns had been invaded by the Yellow Turban Army came to the Zhen family's
Take refuge in the manor.
Among them was Liu Liang, a well-known fortune teller in Jizhou.
Liu Liang's reputation is very great. As a distant branch of the Han Dynasty who is similar to Liu Bei, Liu Liang's knowledge is many times better than Liu Bei's. However, the scholarship of the Han Dynasty, especially the Eastern Han Dynasty, has a characteristic, that is, prophecy is very popular, and it is It was regarded as a branch of knowledge more important than traditional Confucian classics, which was the metaphysics that later formed a system. And Liu Liang did quite a lot of research in this area.
What is prophecy?
"Shuowen" records that "prophecy is a prediction, and there is a book that confirms the prediction." To put it bluntly, it is a prophecy. Wei is a book that relies on Confucian classics to promote the predictions that Fu Rui should predict. Compared with the classics, it is a Wei book. Because the prophecy is long It appears in the form of pictures and is painted on fabrics, so wei can also be interpreted as "pictures and prophecies", which are prophecies with pictures. So prophecies are simply what modern people call superstitious activities.
If metaphysics also has some exploration and demonstration of life and human nature, although it is mixed with some things like fatalism, which makes the whole theory very messy (so it is called "metaphysics"), in general metaphysics is still more biased towards It is a philosophical category. But as a branch of it, Chenwei is pure dross with basically no essence.
However, the prophecy theory of who made Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu become emperor has a lot of power, so it became a stately study in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Not only did some related books become state secrets, but the political status of its scholars was also not low.
Liu Liang was very famous, so Zhen Yi was naturally flattered to be able to invite him to take refuge in his Wubao. And because of Liu Liang's reputation of being good at getting along with people, Zhen Yi was full of anxiety and hoped that Liu Liang could help her. Take a look at the child. Of course, the most important thing is that Liu Liang is actually not a stranger to Zhen Yi. After all, the fortune teller played a crucial role in the collapse of Zhen Jiang and Yan Liang's marriage. If it weren't for his appeared, now there is no happy life that Dian Wei is about to start.
Liu Liang didn't show much when he saw Zhen Yi's two sons and the eldest son's posthumous son, the grandson of Zhen Yi. He just sighed softly, making Zhen Yi nervous for no reason, but Liu Liang didn't. Open your mouth.
When Liu Liang saw Zhen Jiang, the eldest daughter of the Zhen family, he frowned as if he had encountered a huge problem. When everyone's attention was attracted to him, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief and pointed. Zhen Jiang turned to Zhen Yi and said:
"This daughter of yours has a bad fate. She is destined to have her husband die young. But she seems to have a very strange aura surrounding her, which makes the conclusions drawn by my physiognomy constantly changing. I have not encountered any I have been in such a situation, so I feel a little surprised, maybe her husband will be an interesting person."
It's a pity, maybe because Liu Liang's last words were spoken too softly, or maybe the Zhen family was completely attracted by his previous words, the result was that Zhen Jiang looked miserable, and Zhen Yi's expression also changed again and again.
When Liu Liang saw the young Zhen Qingzhen, who was only three years old at the time, the famous fortune teller made another amazing move.
He looked solemn and performed a very solemn salute to little Zhen Qing. Then he said to Zhen Yi with a solemn expression: "This woman is so noble that I can't describe it."
Suddenly, the whole family was shocked.
Of course, when no one noticed, Liu Liang murmured to himself again: "This girl has a heavier aura. It's really strange."
However, this time, no one in the Zhen family, who was immersed in the shock caused by Liu Liang's words, noticed Liu Liang's muttering.
