Immortal of Book and Sword

Chapter 1: human way

Views:

Humanity is the efficaciousness of gods, and it can save all living beings.

But I don't know that gods are also troubled, you wait for all living beings in the world. You ask for high officials and rich salary, you ask for wealth and access, and you still want to be emperor.

Who will be the little mortal

Therefore, all the gods burn incense and pray in front of the people, praying for blessings, wealth and longevity, so they can only keep their ears shut and return to their original positions without anyone blessing them.

The world does not know the sorrow of the gods, and still does its own way.

On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, in Tianyun Kingdom, Liangzhou, Hangshan Prefecture, and Chengyang County.

It is rumored that the eighteenth day of the first lunar month is the birthday of the Shinto birthday star. Good men and believers went out one after another, praying to increase my life, so that everyone can live a long life, and everyone will be free from disease and disaster.

There are too many pedestrians and the road is crowded. The business was so good that the boss who sold the incense was all smiles, counting the money until his hands cramped.

Everyone thought that worshiping the gods would add a few years to their lives, and they all laughed heartily.

No one in Chengyang City is unhappy, and no one is not happy.

"If the gods are really effective, why do you need to see a doctor when you are sick? Why do you need to be buried when you are dead? Worship the gods, the disease cannot be completely cured, and worship the gods to bring the dead back to life. How can there be troubles and worries in this world?"

There was a young man standing on the street. The young man was slender but not thin, handsome but not dazzling. He was wearing a blue Confucian shirt and looked refined.

There is a half-smile on his face, and there is a kind of free and easy play.

The young man's surname is Chen, his name is Guhong, his style name is Ziyu, and he is a local. Both of his parents died, and he is currently living with his sister and brother-in-law. This time I went out to pay homage to the birthday man at the order of my sister.

In Tianyun's country, imperial examinations are prevalent, and all things are inferior, only reading is high.

The book has its own golden house, and the book has its own Yan Ruyu.

Chen Guhong was also a boy student. He studied at the age of five and participated in the boy's examination at the age of thirteen. I am twenty years old this year, but I have failed many times in the exam, and I have not been able to pass the examination of the scholar, so I have become a scholar, and I am still a child.

However, there are quite a few people like Chen Guhong in Chengyang County, so Chen Guhong is not very conspicuous.

Of course, Chen Guhong also has his own little secret, he is a time traveler.

In his previous life, he was an unemployed young man, anxious all day long, looking for a job, looking for a partner, and running around for that bright future. I don't know how many years I haven't played, I don't know how many years I haven't had fun.

Gradually lost his nature and became a social youth who lived for the society.

"Although this world is a bit absurd and funny, compared with my previous life, it is considered heaven." Stretching his waist, Chen Guhong embraced the mentality of playing games, bought joss sticks and paid homage to the birthday man, and then shook three steps at a time. I went home leisurely.

The family lives in Chenqu Lane, the house is not big, just ordinary, and the neighbors on the left and right are also ordinary people.

There were children playing around nearby, when they saw Chen Guhong, they bowed their hands like a grown-up. No way, even though he is a child, Chen Guhong's social status is still quite high.

Nodding to those little dolls, Chen Guhong stepped into the house.

My sister is Chen Xiuxiu, a housewife.

My brother-in-law is Wang Zhengzheng, a small owner of a grain shop.

When Chen Guhong came back, Chen Xiuxiu was about to go out to buy some soy sauce and come back to cook. When she saw her younger brother, she smiled and said, "Little brother, is it fun to be in front of the Shouxing Gong Temple?"

Because both parents died, Chen Xiuxiu dotes on this single seedling brother very much. This time, the excuse was to ask the younger brother to visit Mr. Shou Xing, but in fact it was to let the younger brother go out to play. He also privately gave fifty copper coins to his younger brother to buy food.

"Everyone is very happy, and I am also very happy." Chen Guhong knew in his heart that his sister cared for him, so he also smiled and said cheerfully.

"Hehe. Just be happy." Chen Xiuxiu smiled even wider, and then explained: "My sister went to buy soy sauce, you can stay by yourself. If you are hungry, there are still some pastries in the kitchen."

"Yup."

Chen Guhong said with a smile.

"It's nice to have a virtuous sister." Looking at Chen Xiuxiu's leaving back, Chen Guhong felt warm in his heart.

After stopping for a while, Chen Guhong turned and went to his room. The room is divided into two parts, the inside is the bedroom, and the outside is the small study, which is filled with various books, including the four treasures of the study.

Looking at these decorations, Chen Guhong showed sadness on his face.

"I have been studying for many years, but my fame is not established, and I eat free food all day long. Although my sister and brother-in-law didn't say anything, I still feel uneasy. Why don't you discuss it with your brother-in-law and make a living."

Chen Guhong has had this idea for a long time, but he didn't dare to bring it up because he was afraid that his sister would be sad. But now, he feels that it is time.

Having made up his mind, Chen Guhong waited for his sister and brother-in-law to come back.

Not long after, Chen Xiuxiu came back. After Chen Xiuxiu came back, she cooked the food, and greeted Chen Guhong to sit down and wait for her husband Wang Zheng to come back.

After waiting for about a cup of tea, Wang Zheng returned.

But it scared Chen Xiuxiu, and Chen Guhong jumped.

I saw that Wang Zheng was crying and mourning, as if his parents had died.

"What's wrong?" Chen Xiuxiu hurried up and asked with concern. Chen Guhong also stepped forward.

"This year's corvee was not completed." Wang Zheng said with a wry smile.

"The corvée failed?" Chen Xiuxiu's eyes widened, and her snow-white teeth almost shattered. There was a look of horror on his kind face.

Chen Guhong's heart also tightened.

This is similar to the ancient society, where people have to pay taxes and perform corvee labor.

The so-called corvee refers to conscription activities, such as building walls, such as the mobilization of troops, and the people are responsible for delivering food. For example, in ancient China, Qin Shihuang built the Great Wall and called people together, which is a kind of corvee.

In the ancient environment, travel long distances and travel thousands of miles. It is not uncommon for guests to die in foreign lands, so every year of corvée, there must be tears all over the sky.

In the entire Sky Fortune Kingdom, only high-ranking officials and famous scholars can be exempted from corvee.

Wang Zhengzheng is a small businessman, and his family is relatively well-off. He can spend some money every year, and he has established a relationship so that he and Chen Guhong can perform corvee nearby, or avoid corvee altogether.

Although it is bankrupt, it can also eliminate disasters and be happy.

"It's done every year, why didn't it work this year?" Chen Guhong asked calmly.

"Someone is doing something bad." Wang Zheng said with a wry smile.

"Tricking things up?" Chen Guhong frowned.

"It's that kid Wang Shun. He recently recruited a small official in the county government office who is as big as a sesame seed and mung bean. Although he is small, he just caught us." Wang Zhengzheng showed a look of contempt on his face, and his wry smile grew stronger. .

"Wang Shun?!" Chen Guhong showed a little murderous look on his face.

This Wang Shun's family is next door, and Wang Zhengzheng is not only a neighbor, but also the same great-grandfather, so they can be regarded as brothers of the same clan. This Wang Shun is cunning and has no bottom line.

A stupid thief who steals chickens and dogs.

Five years ago, Wang Shun tried to steal a pullet from Wang Zhengzheng's house, but was caught on the spot. At that time, Chen Guhong felt that this person's temperament was too bad, so he might as well report it to the officials.

But Wang Zhengzheng cared about the friendship of the same clan, and Wang Shun couldn't stop begging, and Wang Shun's wife brought a few children to kowtow for mercy.

In the end, this incident was not reported to the official, as if it hadn't happened.

In recent years, the two families have been considered amicable. I thought this matter would have long since become dust of history. Unexpectedly, now that Wang Shun is prosperous, he will bite Wang Zheng.

"It's really not a thing." Chen Guhong thought in his heart.
