Lian Zining's home is in Songshu Hutong in Zhengyangmen. The gate is not big, but it is very warm. Thinking of this, Lian Zining couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Inheriting this body, it naturally inherits all the social relations and responsibilities that Lian Zining needs to bear - in that family, there is a person who is unwilling to face, dare not face it, and even more so, doesn't know how to face it!

Thinking of this, Lian Zining felt dazed. The sky was getting late. When he looked up, he saw that he had already walked to the doorstep.

The small family of Lian's family is really inconspicuous in this Songshu Hutong. Since Emperor Yongle moved the capital to Beijing, the Songshu Hutong has been designated as the territory of the military households. The entire alley, including the surrounding area, lived in either the Jinyiwei or the flag bearer of the government army, all military families. The military households at the foot of the emperor are no more miserable than those below. They are most favored by the emperor and have a wide connection. It is impossible for any relative of the family to be the head of the Ministry of Rites and the doctor of the Ministry of War. Therefore, if you have any future, you will have no worries about food and clothing in this life. If you have the opportunity, you can be attracted by Shangguan and pass on this position, it is also possible for your descendants to be well-known.

In the 30th year of Zhengde, the emperor ordered the abolition of the military household registration system and the military household registration system to the recruitment system. All military households have become civilian children in theory and no longer have the privileges that can inherit the military positions of their parents. For those military households in the prefectures and counties below, this is naturally undesirable. By the dynasty of Emperor Zhengde, the military household registration system had almost been deteriorated. The land of local garrisons had been embezzled by the officers. Local military household registration had become tenants of the officers, and they could not even have enough food. The wife and daughter had to go to secretly prostitute to survive, and their lives were not as good as those of the tenants of the wealthy households. Moreover, with the limitations of the military household registration system, as long as they were military, they could not take the imperial examinations and other promotion methods. This was equivalent to fixing the military household registration there for generations and not being able to be liberated for hundreds of years. Now that they have lost their military household registration, there are more things they can do, and at least they can survive.

But for these military households at the foot of the emperor, it was equivalent to cutting off their way of life. Originally, the family inherited their father's business and had been civil servants for generations, but now the emperor gave the order, you have to take the civil servant exam yourself in the future.

Think about it, how big is the psychological gap?

However, as the saying goes, there are policies and countermeasures at the top. After more than a hundred years of development, the military households of the top twenty-four guards in Beijing have formed an extremely huge network of relationships, and they have closely interacted with each other and have known many noble officials. Therefore, these aristocratic families have used their own methods and have even been involved in the reorganized army and become officers!

Unlike them, since Lian Zining's father died, the Lian family has long been defeated. It is indeed very shabby to see the magnificent door with stone lions placed at the doors around them.

"Emperor Zhengde is determined to reform. Hey, I didn't expect that the Ming Dynasty had indeed gone on a fork in the road. In my time and space, since Emperor Hongwu decided on the military household system of the Ming Dynasty, which has been extended to Emperor Chongzhen, has now been deposed." Lian Zining thought in a mess and had already walked to the gate of his own courtyard.

The mottled door with paint has fallen off, and grass has grown inside the gaps on the wall, which looks a bit dilapidated.

Lian Zining took a deep breath. This place is my own, it is my home!

He was about to reach out and push open the door when suddenly the door creaked and opened it by itself, with a small head exposed inside, with a black big eyes looking at it, then a figure jumped out, hugged his arm, and said crisply: "Brother, you are back!"

This is a girl, who is about twelve or thirteen years old, wearing a blue satin armor and a green skirt underneath. Although the girl has developed early, her body has not grown yet, about 1.6 meters tall. Her long hair hangs down like a clear soup noodles, which is bright and charming. Her pretty face, like a pure lotus, is full of joy, and her big black eyes are looking at her.

This is what Lian Zining dared not face and did not know how to face it, his little girl, Lian Chengyu.

In the 46th year of Zhengde, when Lian Zining was fourteen years old, the miners in Jiangxi plotted to rebel and rebelled, and the area was in ruins. The vanguard of the government army was ordered to go out to fight. The army plowed the courtyard like a plow and swept the cave. On the day of triumphant, the only one who returned to the Lian family's yard was his father's robe, armor, saddle and gun. Lian Zining's mother fainted at that time, and since then he was unable to afford the sick bed. He also died a year later.

From then on, only Lian Zining and a little girl, Cheng Yu, depend on each other for three years.

Lian Zining looked at the little girl and felt her scalp explode. She opened her mouth and wanted to say anything, but she didn't say anything.

The two have a very good relationship and have been together for a long time. If they reveal any flaws, the little girl will be the first to discover it.

"Brother, what's wrong with you? Why did you become stupid when you go out?" Lian Chengyu looked at him in a daze and shook his shoulders.

Lian Zining's heart moved and said, "Today, I'll go to our parents' grave to see the two old men, so I feel a little depressed."

The joy on Lian Chengyu's face disappeared immediately, and a layer of mist gradually appeared on his big eyes.

Seeing that it reminded her of the sad things, Lian Zining felt a little sad. She handed her the basket of vegetables in her hand and said softly: "It's windy here, hurry up and don't poke it here. Be careful that I will suffer if I catch a cold."

What he was talking about last year. On the Lantern Festival that year, Lian Chengyu was playing too late and played outside. As a result, he had a high fever and was so hot that he was scary. In this era of underdeveloped medical technology, sometimes a high fever could kill people. At that time, Lian Zining was so anxious that he was jumping up and down. He carried her to the clinic outside in the middle of the night. After most of the night, Cheng Yu finally recovered and he almost didn't get sick.

When he heard this, Lian Chengyu felt warm in his heart and burst into tears and said with a smile: "Brother loves me the most."

This is a typical courtyard house. There are only one entry, three upper rooms, two wing rooms on the east and west sides. The small south room next to the door hole is the kitchen. In the corner of the yard, a pear tree is just when the pear blossoms are all white, and the cold fragrance wafts all over the yard.

The area of ​​the yard is not small. If such a yard is placed in such a territory, if it is left for five hundred years, the price will be calculated in 100 million yuan. If the US president wants to live there, he has to make an appointment. It depends on whether the owner is willing or not!
