Chapter 1 The Youth's Oil-Paper Umbrella

It was raining and drizzling, and it was not until the hour of the lunar month, and there were no pedestrians on the street. A young man, who was fourteen or fifteen, walked slowly from the other end with a greased paper umbrella and walked on the bluestone road.

Red bricks and green tiles on both sides, painted eaves in the distance, weeping willows on the river bank, and a few swallows that had not had time to return to their nests flew lowly between the branches, like a freehand poem, accompanied by raindrops falling from the dust, clearly showing the true face of this world to Xu You.

Teahouses, wine shops, foot shops, butchers shops, public parties...

It was the first time he went out on the 27th day of his arrival here. Although he had known for some reason that he had changed time and space and traveled to this dynasty and today's body, he actually took to the streets and breathed the fresh air that had never existed in his previous life, and still felt a trace of helplessness and confusion from the bottom of his heart.

"Mr., the little man..."

A woman's anxious cry came from behind. The young man turned a deaf ear and walked slowly to the river bank, gently catching a swaying willow branch.

It’s cold and cold, it’s already late autumn!

There was another pain between his chest and abdomen, and he lowered his head and coughed violently!

"Langjun, how are you doing? Is it important?"

A slender and white little hand reached out from behind, supporting the boy's arm, and from the slight trembling, it seemed that he could feel the other person's heartfelt worry. The boy turned his head, his eyes confused for a moment, and then he recognized the person. He smiled gently and said, "Autumnal Equinox, it doesn't matter, my body is already well, and I can still bear this little rain!"

He finally remembered that his current name is Xu You, whose courtesy name is Weizhi, and he is a child of the Xu family of Yixing, Jiangdong. The woman in front of him is called the Autumnal Equinox, and he is his personal maid. It is said that he was born on the Autumnal Equinox, so he named this name.

The autumnal equinox is only thirteen years, and the soft black hair is separated. It is combed into a bun with a unique ring on the back of the head. It is a green double-breasted shirt and skirt, with a crimson waist, and is wearing a jade-like silk shoes, with beautiful eyebrows and eyes.

"Before Dr. Wen left, he told his maid a lot, saying that the knife wound in the man's abdomen had just recovered, and he would not be able to get the cold again. If you... if... woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo

As the autumnal equinox said, tears fell from her eyes. The crystal tears flowed down her white and smooth cheeks, making Xu You feel pity. He brushed away the tears from her face with his fingers and said softly: "Okay, am I fine? Let's go back now!"

"Yeah!" Qiu Equin nodded vigorously, took the umbrella from Xu You's hand, blocked most of the umbrella surface on his side, and said, "Little Langjun, be careful..."

The master and servant walked together, the autumn wind was bleak, accompanied by the falling rain, like a charming ink scroll, adding a bit of artistic conception to this already antique street.

When he returned home, he went to make hot water to wash Xu You's hands and faces, and then he was busy making dinner. Xu You walked to the window, pushed his hands, and looked at the scenery of Xiao Bai in this shabby farmyard, silent.

He was an orphan in his previous life. He went to college with the support of kind-hearted people and personal efforts. Later, he joined a listed company and became a senior executive. After he switched to one of the world's most famous private equity funds. He used finance as a medium to stir up the world's economic turmoil. With his sensitive sense of smell and extraordinary courage, he quickly became famous and praised as a fox's handsome man - meaning that he had both the cunning and treacherous fox and the charm and decisiveness of a leader. However, a car accident brought his soul to this world and merged with Xu You, who was about to die.

Fortunately, he not only inherited Xu You's body, but also all of Xu You's consciousness. So for the past twenty-seven days, he seemed to be confused and said nothing, but in fact he gradually digested knowledge about this world in his mind!

This is undoubtedly ancient, but it is not the ancient in his previous life. History took a wonderful turn in the tenth year of Zhengshi, that is, in AD 249. On the sixth day of the first lunar month of this year, Cao Fang and Cao Shuang went to Gaopingling to worship Emperor Ming of Wei Cao Rui. Sima Yi, who had been preparing for a long time, launched a coup in Luoyang, but unexpectedly, Cao Shuang planned to mobilize the imperial guards to destroy the three Sima clans. The Wei throne was continued, and then the eleven emperors were passed down for more than 200 years, which was considered longevity.

But history has an inertia that cannot be avoided, pulling the trajectory back to the route it should have walked. By the end of the Wei Dynasty, due to the corruption of the administration, the extravagance of the top and bottom, the political power of the family led to the fall of imperial power, the abolition of prefectures and counties, and the enthronement of the royal family, there were frequent turmoils in various places and the national strength declined day by day. Finally, the Hu people, the counties in the northwest lived in the army" drank on horses and looked around. Five tribes including the Huns and Xianbei invaded the Central Plains one after another. After a hundred years, the tragedy of the Five Barbarians invading China was repeated.

During this period, the Huns had the greatest power, and they attacked Luoyang to capture Emperor Min of Wei, and Wei was destroyed. Then a large number of Han people moved from the Yellow River Basin to the long-term basin, mainly including the eight surnames such as Yu, Liu, Yuan, Xiao, Zhan, Qiu, He, and Hu, which were known in history as the Shinn Shipeng. Another county-level gentry, such as the Wang family of Langya, intends to support Cao Ying, the royal family of the Cao Wei Dynasty, to rebuild the Wei family, but when they arrived in Pengcheng, they were intercepted by the Xiongnu light cavalry, and the Cao Ying and Wang family were massacred. Then the Huns' army divided into three routes to invade Jiangdong and Jingchu and other places.

At that time, people were in panic. The wealthy families in various parts of the south of the Yangtze River formed a fort and defended themselves. However, because they fought each other, they were unable to resist the Huns at all. When the land of China was sinking and the destruction of China was in danger, the left central army under the governor of Yongzhou, An Shiyu, the governor of Yongzhou, collected the remaining troops and retreated to the Jingchu area. He used the vast strategic space to connect the wealthy families, the forts and militias, and fought thirteen battles in succession, without any defeat, blocking the Huns north of the Yangtze River.

Then the Nandu Bafu was established, and the Nandu Army was formed. They fought with water, sprints and cars, defeated and won consecutive victories, and pushed the front between the Huanghuai River. However, due to the lack of food and grass, they were unable to advance north. The Huns also suffered great damage to their vitality due to the invasion of the south, and were taken advantage of by the Hu tribes such as Xianbei, Jie and others. Several sides fought in the Central Plains for 30 years and established seven countries including Qin, Yan, Liang. In the end, the Xianbei Tuoba tribe won the final victory. Except for the Yao clan, Xiliang, which was in a dilemma, they had actually unified the north.

First, the surname Tuoba originated from the descendants of Huangdi, and Huangdi originated in the Wei Kingdom during the Warring States Period, so it was established as "Wei" and established the capital Pingcheng. On the other hand, Wei was used as the national name to show that it was in line with Cao Wei, which was more orthodox than the south, so as to win the hearts of scholars all over the world.

At the same time, the south was decided, and An Shiyu found a relative of the distant relative of Cao Wei to establish him as a puppet emperor, and he controlled the government himself. After more than 20 years of admiration, he was appointed as the emperor in Jiankang a year after the establishment of the Wei Kingdom in the north, and established the State of Chu, rebuilt Kang into Jinling, and established the capital.

Since then, the Southern Chu and the Northern Wei confronted each other across the river, and divided the world into two parts!

When Xu You traveled through time, he was already the second emperor of Chu, An Zidao, reigned. As the emperor of one of the most dangerous professions during this period, An Zidao was already 67 years old and reigned for forty-four years, which is the longest life in nearly a hundred years.

Although Xu You in his previous life was engaged in the financial industry, he loved reading history, especially the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. He was very fascinated by the heroes and the love of living beings. In his spare time, he also fantasized about what kind of scene he would have when he returned to that time and would have done something amazing.

However, when it really came to this day, he found that history had become unrecognizable. What made him speechless was that the person he possessed, including the Xu family whom he could rely on, had just suffered a catastrophe!

Xu You looked at the wind and leaves outside the window, a bitter smile appeared on his face, and murmured: "Good family life, but I have to fight for power and bet on it. Now it's good, it's apart..."

"Langjun, I've had a meal."

The crisp voice of the autumnal equinox awakened Xu You from his meditation. He closed the window and walked to the outside room. He saw four plates of side dishes on the table, including soup, dried fish, eggplant, honey ginger, and a bowl of wheat rice. With Xu's current situation, it is probably because he could prepare such a meal outside the autumnal equinox. Xu You knelt on his knees on the futon, looked at the autumnal equinox and chuckled, "Sit down and eat together."

The autumnal equinox shook his head quickly and said, "No, this is not in accordance with the rules..."

Xu You pulled her down and said, "To this day, what are the rules and irregularities? During the days when I was injured, all the slaves in the family escaped. Only you stayed to take care of me. What's the point of having a meal together?"

The autumnal equinox was anxious and uneasy, and his hands and feet were a little confused. Xu You looked at the thin face of the autumnal equinox, pushed the wheat rice in front of her, handed the chopsticks over, and a hint of softness appeared in his eyes, and said, "I'm not too hungry, you can eat this bowl of rice."

“I’m not hungry either…”

Before he finished speaking, he heard a gurgling sound in his belly. The autumnal equinox was shy, and it was red from his cheeks to his ears. He lowered his head and dared not look at Xu You again.

Xu You reached out and rubbed the head of the autumnal equinox, almost messing up her bun, and smiled and said, "Eat quickly, didn't Dr. Wen say that I just recovered and I want to eat less."

Qiu Fen's body trembled slightly, and his head drooped lower. After a while, Xu You didn't say anything. He secretly looked up, but saw him picking up a piece of dried fish and putting it in his mouth and chewing it carefully and carefully.

But if these things were put before, he wouldn't even look at them.

"Mr., it's useless to be a maid,"

The eyes turned red, and my heart ached, and I said, "I have been begging Aunt Zhou and Wang for a long time, and I only ask for these ingredients. I will find a way tomorrow, and I will definitely make your favorite milk-filled fish..."

Xu You raised his head, his eyes clear, and the smile on the corner of his lips made people feel at ease for no reason, and said, "It's already very good. There are eggplants, ginger, fish and broth. Others may have to spend hundreds of dollars to eat these, which is a luxury."

Southerners love to eat fish. Xu You remembers that in "Qimin Yaoshu", there are dozens of ways to make fish alone, including squid squid squid squid squid, trout squid squid squid, turtle squid squid squid, turtle squid squid squid, turtle squid squid, turtle squid squid, turtle squid, turtle squid, turtle squid, turtle squid, turtle squid, turtle squid, turtle squid, turtle squid, turtle squid, turtle squid, turtle squid, turtle squid, turtle squid, turtle squid, turtle squid, turtle squid, turtle squid, turtle squid, turtle squid, turtle squid, turtle squid, turtle squid, turtle squid, turtle squid, turtle squid, turtle squid, turtle squid, turtle squid, turtle squid, turtle squid, turtle squid, turtle squid, turtle squid, turtle squid, turtle squid, turtle squid, turtle squid, turtle squid, turtle squid, turtle squid, turtle squid, turtle squid, turt

Speaking of cow milk, it involves the influence of the migration of the Hu people. The Han people did not have the habit of eating dairy products. However, during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, many Hu people moved to the northwest counties. In addition, the Five Barbarians invaded China, some special foods were gradually melted and combined by the Han people. When Xu You read the "Book of Wei" in his previous life, he recorded that "drinking cow milk often is like a virgin", which shows that not only dairy products have been widely circulated, but also the beauty effects have been discovered.

But compared with these fish dishes that are exquisitely crafted, dried fish are made of pickled fish about a tiny inch long. At that time, people said that "fresh fish are thousands of tails, dried fish are the cheapest." Poor families cannot afford fresh fish, so they often go to the fish market to pick up these unsold fish and go home to celebrate the teeth.

With Xu's prominent family background, Xu You didn't like to eat anything like this, but he had never eaten it!

But now is different from the past. It is a blessing to be able to fill your stomach. Xu You didn't want to blame himself for this. He deliberately changed the topic and pointed at the singling and smiled: "Do you know this dish is very famous?"

The autumnal equinox shook his head blankly, and Xu You said, "In the Cao Wei period, there was a famous scholar Zhang Heng who served as an official from Wujun to Luoyang. When the autumn wind blew, he suddenly remembered the sashimi sashimi in his hometown, saying, "Life is worthy of being ambition, how can you be restrained from your officialdom for thousands of miles to get a title?" So he resigned and returned, and sashimi sashimi followed him to make a name for himself."

Luo, also known as water shield, also known as horseshoe, was very popular during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. Many famous officials loved it very much. As a side dish, it was the most delicious. However, when making soup with large families, they often had to be served with shredded bacon, shredded chicken, bamboo shoots, small meat balls, etc., and more particular, they should use shredded basin like Zhang Heng. How could it be what Xu You eat now? It was just boiled with shredded basin and made into soup, and there was not even a few ingredients for seasoning.

He said this just to An Autumn Equinox!

The autumnal equinox looked at Xu You blankly, and he was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's wrong?"

"No, nothing!" The autumnal equinox turned his head in a hurry. After a while, he couldn't help saying, "Mr. Lang, you are a little different from before..."

Xu You smiled bitterly in his heart. Since he inherited the body and memory of this direct descendant of Xu, he certainly knew what he was like before. Although he was not bad, he was a willful hero, had an irritable temper and irritable temper. The servants below were beaten and scolded many times. In other words, they grew up with him since childhood, with deep affection and never looked shady, but have you ever seen him so gentle and soft?

"After such a thing, I almost lost my life, and it should be a little different. Come and have a meal, don't talk or speak, don't finish this bowl of rice, don't talk!"

I picked up the bowl and ate a bite of wheat rice obediently. The barley was bitter and it was a bit irritating when I swallowed. It was far from sweeter than the rice I usually eat. But when I ate it at this time, I felt full of happiness.
