Chapter 15 Sun Yu

On the eighth day of the seventh month, Sun Yu was in the middle of her rest, so she didn't go out. She went to supervise his brother's studies as soon as it dawn.

At this time, Chen Wen was still lying in bed. It was probably because he slept for a day while recuperating, and his biological clock was automatically adjusted back. When there was no need to go to work, what else could an otaku do if he didn't sleep in?

"I'm really a playboy." Sun Yu shook his head and gently helped his brother move all the pen, ink, paper and inkstone to the north house first.

It was not until midnight that Chen Wen got up lazily. Looking at the sky outside the window, he suddenly remembered something. It seemed that the forum said that the ancients did not eat lunch and only had two meals a day. As for the days when they were in Laoying, he had already understood it as a patient meal.

But Chen Wen didn't know that the ancients did not necessarily have to eat two meals a day, and how many meals were basically determined by their economic living standards. Before the Sui and Tang Dynasties, ordinary people had two meals a day and aristocrats had three meals a day. After the Sui and Tang Dynasties, ordinary people would choose three meals a day as long as they could live. Of course, poor families had to live a day with one meal a day, and even if the emperor was not hungry, he had to eat four meals a day. That was a special case.

However, while the three-meal system was popular in the world, the two-meal system did not die. In "Qing Bai Lei Chao·Food Category", it is recorded that "the number of solar eclipses in our country is three times a day in the south and two times a day in the north." For example, the Lanzhou people at that time "eat two meals every day", while in Ningbo, Zhejiang and Shaoxing areas, there were "eat three meals every day". Of course, this is also directly linked to local economic conditions.

In the Sun family, Sun Yu himself is an official, and he can receive a monthly salary, so it is not a problem to support a family of three. Although the Sun family’s young wife has a little bad cooking skills, she is very good at making a fortune in the matter of being a girl. She can always supplement her family income. Perhaps this is because she has a specialty in her profession. In addition, Simingshan area is relatively peaceful, and the prices are relatively lower, so three meals a day are normal.

However, Chen Wen's arrival directly led to the Sun family having an extra mouth for food. Fortunately, Wang Jiang's timely subsidies also made up for this loss, and the Sun family's living standards did not decline as a result.

When Chen Wen left the room, he found that the Sun family’s young wife was cooking lunch. This made Chen Wen feel at ease and was very indignant of the information taken out of context on the Internet.

At this time, the gate of the Sun family was knocked on.

In order to prevent the Sun family's young wife from cooking the vegetables again, Chen Wen immediately signaled himself to open the door.

When he opened the yard, a man with a short figure and a fat face was standing outside the door with two rabbits in his arms.

"Hello, who are you looking for?" Chen Wen asked politely.

The man was stunned when he saw Chen Wen, then took two steps back and looked around, and said with confusion: "I'm looking for Juren Sun, you..." He looked at Chen Wen's clothes. "Well, who are you?"

Juren? Damn, this dead face paralysis is actually a Juren, I really underestimated him. Chen Wen clearly remembers that Wang Yi and Wang Jiang seem to be just scholars, so how did he become an inequality ambassador of Cang with such fame?

"I am in the next class Chen, and I live here for the time being. Brother Sun is studying inside. Please come in and talk to me."

After Chen Wen brought the man in, the young wife of the Sun family also walked out of the kitchen and said with great blessings. "It turns out that it is the uncle of the Wu family. The uncle's clothes have been repaired. I originally planned to send them to the uncle in the afternoon."

"This matter is already a blessing. I can just pick it up by myself. My sister-in-law is polite." The man handed the rabbit in his hand and said, "This was something that someone beat in the mountains yesterday, and it was just right to replenish his body."

Chen Wen swallowed his saliva and couldn't help but think that this could really nourish the body. A poem says: The male rabbit's feet are confusing, the female rabbit's eyes are blurred, washed and chopped into pieces, blanched in water and fry golden, put it in a casserole, add ingredients and cook over high heat, simmer for four hours, slowly replenish the juice in medium heat, divide it into small pieces, pour oil and put it into a plate. Nice!

But even so, the young wife of the Sun family refused to accept it. "Every time I have to trouble the uncle of the Wu family to spend money, how can I be so embarrassed?"

But the man seemed quite generous, and he only heard him say, "What's the cost? Didn't my sister-in-law ask for a penny to sew clothes for my brothers? You are so polite."

A wealthy family? Chen Wen was confused.

The young wife of the Sun family took the rabbit with great gratitude and introduced to Chen Wen and the man: "This is the uncle of the Wu family, whose name is Deng Ke, and who is a fellow villager of his grandson. This is the uncle of the Chen family, whose name is Wen, whose name is Fu Ren, and who is a colleague of his grandson."

It turns out that his external identity in the Sun family is a colleague of my brother's face-parse. He never confessed to me in advance. This guy won't even forget this.

"So it's Guan Jun, you're so rude." Wu Dengke was in awe.

"Brother Wu, you are polite. Brother Tai is a fellow brother of Brother Sun. You and I can be called together, and there is no need to be too polite."

Although others say this, they are still white after all, so they must not be too much, otherwise they will only make people hate it. However, in Wu Dengke's eyes, Chen Wen is easy-going and adds some favorable feelings for no reason.

When they were greeted by the two sides, Sun Yu also walked out of the north room. "Brother Wu is here, just about to have lunch, so stay here to have lunch."

Hearing this, Wu Dengke was not polite and immediately called him to have a drink.

The weather is hot in summer and there is no air conditioning, so the dining table is placed in the yard, while the young wife of the Sun family is still hiding in the kitchen for dinner.

On the table, there was a boiled chicken, a plate of potatoes and rabbit meat, a plate of stir-fried bean sprouts of leeks, a plate of mixed cucumbers and a large pot of green egg flower soup. Of course, there were two jars of rice wine that Wu Dengke had just mentioned, as well as the property rights of red water, white lotus roots that were used as tributes yesterday, and the wine dish.

Eating leeks for two consecutive days made Chen Wen look a little ambiguous when he looked at the Sun couple. Unfortunately, without fennel beans, he could not imitate Kong Junyiji.

The four of them sat down and saw that the owner had to take the chopsticks, Chen Wen had no doubt that he had started to serve soup and pick up dishes. The soup was still as delicious as ever, but who knew that today's potato-roasted rabbit meat was even saltier than the fried shredded pork shredded pork yesterday. Thinking back to his words yesterday, "I'm a northerner, and he has a heavy mouth, and it tastes just right." He was really mean.

After squeezing and pulling a few bites of rice, Chen Wen picked up another piece of boiled chicken. After putting it in, he felt that the chicken was really boiled and had no taste at all. However, the remaining two dishes were pretty good, and they were finally not wiped out.

It’s a mistake. This young wife is obviously a nerve knife when cooking.

In the future, when I had dinner at Sun's house, I couldn't talk about this food rashly, otherwise I would have to be slapped by this little wife. At that time, she had accidentally removed a big harm for Manqing.

After three rounds of drinking, Sun Ming, who was still unable to drink, was stared back to the house by his brother. Not long after, Sun Yu could not bear to drink and left the table and stared at his younger brother's study. Even the young wife of the Sun family who was hiding in the kitchen changed the hot water from the warm wine back to the north room to make a girl. There were only Chen Wen and Wu Dengke left at the table.

The degree of rice wine is not high, and the warm drink makes the wine more fragrant and the taste is soft. After a jar, Chen Wen has drunk too much modern high wine, so it is really hard to drink. However, it seems that the person in front of him seems to be a little hot.

And this is exactly what Chen Wen needs.

While drinking and drinking, the dirty jokes on the table immediately tightened the distance between each other. Gradually, Wu Dengke began to unable to control his mouth.

This made Chen Wen feel that it was not challenging. After all, he hadn't tried much to cliché. However, after he re-examining the order that Wu Dengke said, he suddenly felt that he had a deeper understanding of the current era.

Sun Yu is from Jinhua County, Jinhua Prefecture and is from a small family. His parents opened a snack shop in the mansion to support him in his studies.

Sun Yu was extremely studious since he was a child, and he was highly valued by his husband when he was in elementary school. In the ninth year of Chongzhen, at the age of thirteen, he passed the imperial examination for the first time. Although he was much inferior to Yang Tinghe, who passed the imperial examination at the age of twelve, it did not prevent him from being praised as a child prodigy by the gentry in Jinhua Prefecture at that time. Three years later, Sun Yu fought in the examination hall again, won the fame of scholars, and was also the leader of Jinhua Prefecture.

Sun Yu's wife's surname is Yi, and she is a wealthy family in Jinhua County. She has houses and land. She also has many shops in several counties in the prefecture, but her family is not a gentry.

In the Ming Dynasty, wealthy families were not gentry, and in the eyes of the people at that time, they were just local tycoons. Mr. Yi was cautious all his life, but the gentry looked down on him. He never missed him in the government. Even the officials dared to joke with him. For this reason, the old man was angry all his life. Before his death, he promised his beloved granddaughter to Sun Yu, who had just passed the scholarship at that time, and left a will to ask his son to fully support Sun Yu's imperial examination.

Three more years later, Sun Yu passed the imperial examination. Although his ranking was not high this time, a nineteen-year-old Juren could definitely be called a limitless future. Moreover, in the Ming Dynasty, a Juren's fame could already enjoy the preferential policies of the court for scholars. It was also this year that Sun Yu married Yi.

The nineteen-year-old official reserve team probably had the chance to be an official, a red, and a rich second generation in Chen Wen's era.

In this way, a child from a lower-class family completely changed his destiny with his own efforts. At this moment, both the Sun family and the Yi family were looking forward to the imperial examination in Chongzhen for the 18th year, looking forward to Sun Yu being the first to be the first. Sun Yu was also studying harder and waiting for the arrival of this moment.

Until this moment, in Chen Wen's view, Sun Yu's life was still like the inspirational drama of his era, and was moving forward bravely towards the direction of success.

However, life is not satisfactory, just when everyone is full of hope, the timeline of the eighteen years of Chongzhen was completely interrupted by the torrent of history in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen.

On March 19, 17th year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng captured Beijing, and the Ming court's rule in the north collapsed. Immediately afterwards, the Dashun army was defeated in the Battle of Yibishi. Li Zicheng withdrew from Beijing and the Qing army entered the pass. At this time, Sun Yu had to take refuge in the countryside with his family because the remaining troops of Xu Du were still in chaos in Jinhua Prefecture.

At this moment, the powerful people in the Ming court in Nanjing started a new daily life that runs through the entire history of the Southern Ming Dynasty - internal struggle!

The next year, the Qing army went south, Nanjing fell, Emperor Hongguang was captured, and the governor Lu Wang surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. Immediately afterwards, the Qing court shaved his head and the world was in a state of shave. The Ming court, which was basically dead, welcomed a return. For a moment, Zhejiang was in a turmoil, and the king of Lu was in Shaoxing and fought with the Qing army in Qiantang River. At this time, the remaining troops of Xu Du had been suppressed by the Ming army, so Sun Yu accepted the enthronement and praised the military affairs for Zhu Dadian, a senior secretary of the hometown.

In May of the first year of the Lu Jianguo, the Qing army broke through the Qiantang River, and the Ming army in the Lu Jianguo system collapsed. On June 18, Sun Yu was ordered to go to Yongkang to recruit soldiers to defend Jinhua. On June 23, the Qing army headed south and surrounded Jinhua three days later. Sun Yu was still recruiting soldiers and trying to rescue Jinhua.

On July 16th, the Qing army captured Jinhua, and Zhu Dadian's family died on the day of death. The Qing army slaughtered the city on the excuse of "the people did not obey their lives". Among them, Sun Yu's parents stayed in the city. A few days later, Yi, who was raising a baby in his mother's family in the countryside, learned about the death of Sun Yu's parents, and fainted on the ground in sadness. When he woke up, the child was gone.

After learning about this series of changes, the former sunny boy Sun Yu never laughed again.

This year, Sun Yu bid farewell to his father-in-law and joined the rebel army of Yin Can, a native of Sheng County. He became a leader in charge of money and grain in the army. The Yi family, who had just had a miscarriage, chose to follow his husband with his dowry maid. Until March this year, Yin Can was defeated and died. He was in charge of the army of Yin Can's general Zhou Qingui's army and left Jinhua and went to Dalan to join Wang Yi's army.

Hearing this, a low crying came from the north house. Chen Wen knew that it was Yi's voice. At this moment, he suddenly realized his unintentional cruelty. He saw him grow up and toasting a glass of water to the ground. He looked southwest and bowed farther southwest in Wu Dengke's chaotic gaze.

Chen Wen, as a modern person, basically understands the historical events that Wu Dengke tells. Even if there are many historical events that Wu Dengke doesn't know, he can also know a rough idea through his imagination.

Although, in the history books of Chen Wen's era, a small person like Sun Yu would not be recorded. But he knew very well that since the Qing army entered the pass, shaved his hair, changed his clothes, enclosed land, fled slaves, and banned the pass, which was a tragedy of evil laws everywhere. Corrupt officials exploited scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, the Eight Banners Green Camp robbed tourists, merchants and people, and the Chinese people lived in dire straits, let alone the slaughter of the city and the sea, which was a tragedy of tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of people killed.

In those years, every family had blood debts and every household had dust grievances. Is this only Sun Yu's family?

And this is one of the reasons why Chen Wen never considered the past for the Qing Dynasty since he came to this era.

Civilization and barbarism should be incompatible!

Thinking of this, Chen Wen suddenly felt a little guilty about the nickname "face paralysis" for Sun Yu.

Forget it, it's better to call it ice face.
