Chapter 10: Strange Times (2)

Mr. Gongyang broke the rules of his disciples with just over twenty words and crushed them, and taught them to Zhao Yin and Zhao Yu in the most popular way, and even used allusions. Not to mention Zhao Yin and Zhao Yu, even Jingnu could hear them clearly.

Half an hour later, when the Mr. Yang stopped to rest, the quiet girl with eyesight immediately brought the tea that had already been filled in advance to the old man, and called respectfully: "Mr. Yang, please use tea."

After clearing his slightly hoarse voice, Mr. Yang nodded to Jingnu, as if he was full of affection for Jingnu.

"Furo."

After a sip of warm tea, Mr. Yang breathed slowly.

At this moment, he turned to look at Zhao Yu, and after a brief thought, he asked, "Just now, the second young master said he is interested in his country's past dynasties?"

"Yes, sir."

Zhao Yu suddenly felt energetic and nodded and said, "Sir, I know that the country where we are is called 'Jin'. The emperor is the Li clan of Ying. My mother has told me all these... What I am curious about is that is, is Jin the only country in the world?"

Mr. Gongyang looked at Zhao Yu in confusion, as if he thought Zhao Yu’s question was a bit strange.

But he didn't care too much. After stroking his beard, he explained: "My Great Jin can only say that it is the only country in the Central Plains and the Kaihua country. However, among my neighbors in the Great Jin Dynasty, there are still some barbarians. Some of these barbarians have imitated the Central Plains to establish city-states." At this point, he picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, and sneered and sarcastically said: "However, those barbarians do not follow the kingly way and do not educate them, which is no different from the savages. Although they are a disaster for the country for a while, they will not last long. Even if they imitate the Central Plains to establish city-states, they are just a monkey-like crown, which is just a ridiculous person."

The literati looked down on the uneducated ones the most. Zhao Yu was not surprised by Mr. Gongyang's prejudice against those foreign tribes. He pretended to be curious and asked: "What are the barbarians that Mr. said?"

This question seemed to have been asked by Mr. Gongyang. The old man stroked his beard and thought for a long time, and finally said vaguely: "The Central Plains have never been distinguished from the barbarians. If it is in the east, it is called the East; if it is in the west, it is the Western barbarians...and so on."

As soon as he heard this, Zhao Yu knew that Mr. Yang was not very clear about it, and he was inevitably a little disappointed.

He thought for a while and asked, "Sir, in the land of my Central Plains you mentioned, is our Jin State the only country for thousands of years? Or is there any other country before that?"

Mr. Gongyang glanced at Zhao Yu with a strange look, as if he was confused by Zhao Yu's question posed such a targeted question, but he still answered the question: "That's not. In my Central Plains, other dynasties have appeared, such as Xia, Shang, Zhou, Qin, and Han..."

『…』

Zhao Yu's eyes shone brightly when he heard this, and his hands hanging outside his sleeves clenched their fists unconsciously because he found that the dynasty sequences described by Mr. Yang were very consistent with the dynasty sequences he remembered.

He couldn't help asking, "What country was it before Jin State?"

However, this problem once again stumped Mr. Yang.

"Well..." The old man stroked his beard, frowned, and thought for a while, but finally shook his head and said, "I dare not assert this matter."

"Why?" Zhao Yu looked surprised.

Mr. Gongyang then explained: "It is said that in the late Han Dynasty, the Central Plains was weak and the foreign tribes grew stronger. The foreign tribes from all directions rushed into the Central Plains, causing chaos in the Central Plains, causing our Central Plains to be in chaos for hundreds of years. Until the Li family expelled the barbarians and established the Jin State, we were able to achieve peace in our Central Plains..."

Hearing Mr. Yang’s story, Zhao Yu opened his mouth slightly, almost unable to hide the shock in his heart.

Through Mr. Gongyang's story, Zhao Yu gradually realized that the era he was in was obviously different from the historical process in his previous life. In his previous life, the period when the Central Plains was most severely affected by foreign tribes was when the Jin State established by the Sima family was at its end. At that time, the Five Barbarians invaded China, causing the Central Plains to suffer tragic disaster. After hundreds of years of confrontation and turmoil, the Yang family established the Sui State, unified the world, and completely ended the catastrophe.

But here, the one who ended the catastrophe seemed to be a completely unfamiliar Li family of the Ying family. After expelling foreigners and unifying the world, Li family established a country that made Zhao Yu completely unfamiliar, namely Jin.

It is undeniable that in Zhao Yu's memory, it was indeed the Jin Dynasty after the Han Dynasty, but he had never heard of the tragedy between the Han and Jin dynasties invading the Central Plains for hundreds of years. What's more, establishing this royal family of Jin was not the Sima family that stole the power of Cao Wei, but a completely unfamiliar Li family.

Based on this point, Zhao Yu really doesn't understand what era he was in.

After thinking about it, Zhao Yu finally had no choice but to accept the facts: the world he was in was different from the historical process in his previous life. Perhaps it was a parallel world, only because in the evolution of history, some or some subtle deviations caused the historical process to shift.

I thought I had just come to ancient times, but I never thought it was a completely unfamiliar ancient times. This discovery shocked Zhao Yu, and it also caused all kinds of confusion and troubles. So when Mr. Yang continued to teach in the afternoon, he seemed absent-minded and still didn't get rid of the shock.

In the evening, when Zhao Yu and Jingnu were having meals at the northern house, their mother Zhou learned that Zhao Yu was studying honestly at Mr. Gongyang today, and deliberately mentioned this matter in front of the Marquis of Luyang Township, and obviously intended to make the Marquis of Luyang Township praise their young son.

At that time, the Hou of Luyang Township was drinking soup. After hearing this, he wiped his mouth with a cloth and glanced at Zhao Yu lightly, and then said lightly: "Let's talk about it if you can persevere."

Although her reaction was cold, Zhou could still see a hint of relief in her husband's eyes.

After dinner, the elder brother Zhao Yin and his father, Luyang Township, left one after another, and Zhou intentionally kept his youngest son Zhao Yu.

She rubbed her youngest son's hair and comforted her, "Yeah, don't be depressed. Just when you were having a meal, don't look cold in your father, that's what he is like... He knows that you have learned well, even though he doesn't say it, he doesn't know how happy he is behind his back."

Zhao Yu nodded in response.

In fact, he was not frustrated by the cold reaction of the Marquis of Luyang Township. He was just confused and panic because of the confusion and panic that Mr. Gongyang told. After all, he had realized that he had come to a time and space that was completely different from his previous life. Some of the so-called advantages of foresight did not exist. This made Zhao Yu suddenly think of the loneliness and panic of going to the big city alone in his previous life. At present, this emotion is particularly strong.

The only thing worth comforting is probably the family affection for him, especially Zhou's doting for him.

Just as if he noticed something wrong with his young son, Zhou reached out to touch Zhao Yu's forehead with concern and asked, "What's wrong with my son? His face is not very good..."

"It's okay, mom, the child is just a little tired. After all, I've been studying with Mr. Ram for a whole day today."

Hearing the youngest son's explanation, Zhou's face faded from worry, and he smiled and teased: "I can't stand it at this level? Your brother is like this every day."

As she said that, she felt something happening. She approached her son and sniffed slightly. Then she frowned and asked with a strange expression: "Have my son been bathing for several days?"

Hearing this, Zhao Yu was also stunned. He got rid of his mother's hug with embarrassment, lowered his head and sniffed it, and then a little embarrassed look appeared on his face.

Although he couldn't smell any strange smell on his body, he thought about it carefully and had never taken a shower since he came to this house the day before yesterday.

Noting the awkward look on his son's face, Zhou smiled and urged: "Go and wash quickly, and then have a good sleep. Silent girl, serve the baby."

"Yes, madam." Jingnv responded slightly red.

After about a moment, Zhao Yu and Jingnu returned to the house in the East Courtyard. Then Jingnu ordered the two servants of the East Courtyard to move a mu barrel that was half a person tall to Zhao Yu's house, and then ordered someone to fill the mu barrel with hot water.

After all preparations were made, she said shyly to Zhao Yu, who was sitting by the couch in a daze, "Young master, I'll take you to take a shower..."

Zhao Yu was thinking about his thoughts, but was awakened by Jingnu's words, and then he showed a little embarrassment and discomfort on his face.

To be honest, Zhao Yu did not reject his mother's appointment as his concubine in the future.

After all, it was a girl given to her by her mother for free, and the quiet girl looked so cute, but after all, she was still a little younger, right? He is not a pervert.

"This...I'll do it myself, Jingnv."

Seeing that Jingnu reached out to prepare to wear a loose dress for her, Zhao Yu grabbed her hand and stopped her awkwardly.

There is a saying that Jingnv’s hands are indeed quite tender, after all, she is where her age is.

By the way, Zhao Yu originally thought that Jingnu was still in his ignorant age, but when he saw Jingnu who was shy and blushed after being grabbed by him, he suddenly realized that the little girls of this era might be much precocious than he imagined, especially those like Jingnu, who were trained by Zhou as a bride.

"cough."

With a light cough, Zhao Yu let go of the words holding Jingnu and said calmly: "I'll do it myself for the bathing matter. Jingnu, please find me a set of clothes for me to change."

"This...is, young master."

Jingnu lowered her head and replied. When she turned around, Zhao Yu vaguely heard a relieved exhalation.

Obviously, this little girl of this age already knows how to be shy.

Taking advantage of the time when Jingnu was looking for clothes for herself in the cabinet, Zhao Yu seized the time to take off her clothes and soaked her whole body in the bucket.

He leaned against the wall of Mudou, thinking about future events.

The biggest panic and uneasiness in his heart at this moment was due to his ignorance and unfamiliarity with this era. Fortunately, the family atmosphere in this family was slightly diluted.
