001 Life and Death

Xiao Niang's face is hard to shed tears, and peach leaves's eyebrows are easy to feel sad.

Three parts of the world are bright moonlit night, two parts of the rogue is Yangzhou. Xu Ning of the Tang Dynasty's "Remembering Yangzhou"

The green mountains are faintly drifting, and the grass in the south of the Yangtze River has not withered.

On the bright moonlit night of the Twenty-Four Bridges, where can the jade man teaches to play the flute? Du Mu

"Sent to Judge Han Chuo of Yangzhou"

Since ancient times, Yangzhou has been synonymous with prosperity and prosperity due to its unique geographical location and rich products. It has attracted countless literati and wealthy tourists to leave their footprints and literature. I don’t know how many talented men and beautiful women have been passed down as a good story here.

No matter how lush the trees are, there are dead branches, and no matter how powerful the tiger father is, he will teach his dog sons. In the prosperous Yangzhou, there are also poorly managed shops.

In a jewelry store called Jinyushi Family on Jinshui Street, Manager Yuan was holding a tough and long rattan and was whipping a twelve or twelve-year-old boy lying on the ground with his bare butt. This was his apprentice, and he scolded:

"See if you are still lazy, you asked you to make silver buttons. Five of them are bad. You are a pig. I won't teach you a good lesson today."

"Master, I dare not."

"Master, please spare me. I will be obedient next time."

"Ah~~Master, it hurts me to death~~"

The apprentice lying on the ground was still a child. The rattan was long and tough, and whenever he whipped, it was a deep bruise. Every time he whipped, it was a piercing pain, but he just cried and begged for mercy, not daring to hide or dodge.

The full name of the shopkeeper Yuan is Yuan Fugui. Because he was too drunk, his hair almost fell out. Everyone he knew called Bald Yuan. Because the store was not doing well, his wife had difficulty giving birth when she gave birth to a daughter. She was considered to be widowed by middle-aged widows, with a bad temper and was in a bad mood. She vented her apprentice in the store and beat or scolded several apprentices.

When he heard his apprentice begging for mercy, Manager Yuan was not sympathetic at all. Instead, he thrust hard and said angrily: "It would be better if you beat him to death. Drag him to the mass grave to feed the dogs, so I can also worry."

Manager Yuan was a little tired from fighting. He held the rattan in one hand and pointed at the two apprentices who were standing beside him with a timid and said, "If you are disobedient, your senior brother is your role model. Do you understand?"

When the two apprentices heard this, they immediately lowered their heads and responded like a vocal worm: "Yes, Master."

These two apprentices, one is called Liu Yuan and the other is called Li Fang.

In Li Fang's eyes, there was awe and mechanical response. The one named Liu Yuan was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and his eyes were flexibly turning left and right from time to time. It was obvious that he was a very clever little guy. Although he lowered his head, his eyes were disdainful, depressed, and a little helpless.

Liu Yuanqi is a senior technician from the 21st century Chinese jewelry giant Jin Yuliangrong. He started with an apprentice and had done all the processes such as hand inlay, wax inlay, micro inlay, mold making, polishing, etc., and he did one by one. He became the director of the Handicraft Department at a young age. He had a high salary and a high position and was valued by the upper class, and he was in the limelight for a while.

This was a good thing, but I didn't expect that when a person has power, he would be full of lust and lust, and his heart would be blooming. After a few times with his beautiful subordinates, the two went straight to the hotel to have a "candid meeting". When they were having fun, the door was "bang" and was kicked by a strong man with tattoos. He picked up a baseball bat and hit them at the two of them, beating and scolding. Only then did Liu Yuan realize that the man was the husband of the female subordinate. He noticed that his wife was abnormal and followed him.

Unexpectedly, when he was caught in the bed, Liu Yuan was hit by the strong man without saying a word, and then a sharp pain was caused. The blood on his head kept pouring out. Liu Yuan rolled his eyes, his eyes were white and black, and his consciousness became confused. Then he felt that he was lifted up and threw it out from the window on the 13th floor of the man.

I thought I was dead, but I didn't expect to scream. When I woke up, I had traveled to the Tang Dynasty and possessed this apprentice, who was also named Liu Yuan. I don't know if it was a coincidence or the judge of the King of Hell made a mistake, but Liu Yuan accidentally occupied his body and merged with the memory of the unlucky ghost Liu Yuan.

The shell of the old society has quietly been replaced by the 21st century.

After more than a month of possession, Liu Yuan has always done his own things in a low-key manner. Without attracting attention, he should slowly understand the knowledge and living habits of this society so as not to reveal himself.

More than a month was enough for Liu Yuan to understand the current situation, but he was happy and sad: he was happy to travel to a good dynasty. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin. It is now the seventh year of Zhenguan. The people were full of cattle and horses, and the people had enough food and clothing. They did not close their doors at night, and did not pick up leftovers. They had two or three cents of rice. They were very rich. Liu Yuan knew that this was the beginning of the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. It was estimated that until he died of old age, there would be no war disaster.

What I worry about is that my parents, both of whom I am nominally killed, were sent here by my unwelcome aunt to be an apprentice. I got a master with a low attitude. When I was in a bad mood, I would vent my anger on Liu Yuan, Li Fang and the senior brother Zhao Yuan lying on the ground. Liu Yuan would definitely not dare to refute or fight back. It was very simple:

Every apprentice must sign a contract when you become a master. In addition to having no wages and having to listen to the master unconditionally, there is also an additional one: If you don’t listen to the teachings, the master can punish the parents on their behalf, and you won’t be beaten to death.

This is also the reason why the three apprentices are afraid and dare not resist.

In ancient times, there were not two types of disciples. One was to spend the key points to ask him to teach. This was the right of a rich family. If a student did something wrong, he would not be punished or used a ruler to hit his palm. He would not take any ruthless actions.

The second is the method of poor families. If they don’t have money to pay tuition, they send their son to the master’s house and do everything. They just want to call their servants for nothing, and do whatever they say. The purpose is to learn a skill and make a living in society. It’s okay to meet a good master. When encountering someone like Yuan Fugui, Liu Yuan and the others will only be in trouble.

Just now, this is a living example.

The free lunch is not that delicious.

This jewelry store is a good name, called Jinyu Family, which is very generous. In fact, in the prosperous Yangzhou, it is simply a small shop that is not as good as the quality. The jewelry made is all low-end, old styles and intricate craftsmanship. It is mostly made of valuable jewelry, decorated with small, unworthy little pearls or turquoise similar to gems, and is specially sold to girls who have no money and like to dress up.

Not to mention gold jewelry, it is made of silver. In order to save costs, many of them are matched with copper. The grade is getting lower and lower. The rich don’t look down on it here, and the poor don’t want to be here, so life is not good.

Including God, he didn't complete a business for three days, even a small business was not done. Manager Yuan was in a bad mood, so he found an excuse and took Zhao Yuan, who was the first to get started, which was also Liu Yuan's senior brother, to vent his anger, which was the scene just now.

Liu Yuan felt depressed.

Others traveling through time are either descendants of kings, generals and ministers, or a playboy and rich second generation. They can immediately chase chickens and dogs when they wake up. They tease beautiful maids in the room for no reason. When they are in a good mood, they will bring a bunch of dog-legged men to the street to tease good women. How great it is.

However, Liu Yuan is now just a low-level apprentice, and following a master with no future but bad temper is simply a pain.

"Dad, your Longjing has been soaked in the rain. Go and drink it quickly. It will be bad if it is cold later." Just when Manager Yuan wanted to teach Zhao Yuan a lesson, a tall and generous girl about twelve or thirteen years old, tall and elegant, and so beautiful that she walked out and said to Manager Yuan with a smile.

This is Yuan Fugui's daughter, and also his pearl in his hand. Yuan Kexin, nicknamed Xiaoniang, has grown up like a flower at a young age. She is smart and studious, and is deeply loved by everyone.

Seeing his favorite little girl, Manager Yuan's originally tight face suddenly turned into laughter.

"Okay, okay, my little mother is the most obedient. OK, Daddy will go and drink now." Manager Yuan said with a smile.

This is not like a mean master and shopkeeper, it is clearly the image of a kind father.

"You all take care of yourself. Whoever is not careful? Be careful I will kill you." After the shopkeeper Yuan finished speaking, he felt as if he was so angry that he kicked Zhao Yuan on the ground to the ground, and then he went to the back hall to enjoy his top-quality rain front dragon.

When the people present were relieved when they saw Manager Yuan walking into the inner hall.

"Senior Brother Zhao, are you okay? Get up quickly. My father has a bad temper. Don't be angry." When the little lady saw that his father had left, she wanted to help Zhao Yuan who was beaten up.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yuan pushed the little girl away, and got up in a mess and said coldly: "I dare not punish the young lady, we servants have thick skin and thick flesh, so it's okay."

He said it was okay, but his eyes were full of resentment.

In his eyes, Yuan’s father and daughter, one of them sings blushing and the other sings black-faced, and none of them are kind-hearted. Working here is worse than a servant. They either beat or scold them every day. The most important thing is that Manager Yuan’s core technology is extremely strict. Stop preaching, and even can’t even watch it. Every time they do it, they either hide in a secret room or send out the three apprentices.

Preventing apprentices is more strict than preventing thieves.

The little girl didn't expect that Senior Brother Zhao, who had always loved her, would push her away. The indifference on her face and the resentment in her eyes seemed to have changed to someone else.

It was her father who did something wrong and did not treat his apprentice as a human being. The little mother knew that Zhao Yuan hated her was reasonable, so she bit her lip and said softly:

"Senior Brother Zhao, then wait a moment, I will help you get the sluggish wine."

"No, I just want to take my life for a while, don't waste medicine." Zhao Yuan rejected Xiaoniang's kindness again, turned his head and said to Li Fang: "Xiao Fang, it's time to sweep the floor and carry water, let's go."

"Okay, Brother Zhao." Li Fang responded, and without saying a word, turned around and went to do the housework with Zhao Yuan.

Zhao Yuan and Li Fang were very close and had a good relationship. Liu Yuan and Xiao Niang were called brothers and sisters, but they were called brothers and sisters.
