"Hulong, Hulonglong..."
Lightning and thunder struck, and the wind and rain came heavily.
Xie Yu looked like he was having some kind of nightmare, but he couldn't wake up.
His whole body was twitching, his fists were clenched, and his eye sockets were even beginning to become bloodshot.
Suddenly, Xie Yu smiled and murmured in a low voice: "It's finally normal."
It was as if nothing had happened, and I slept peacefully as usual. No, it seemed that I slept more soundly than usual.
In the early morning, the air in Yangzhou City seemed to be fresher after a thunderstorm all night.
He stood up and waved around, allowing his eighteen-year-old body to be fully used.
Although the bun and the surrounding environment told Xie Yu that this was another ancient society, Xie Yu was very satisfied with the comparison because it was just an inappropriate body.
Sure enough, whether you feel comfortable or not comes from comparison.
However, I saw books, paperweights, and even pens and ink scattered on the ground.
It seems to be extremely awkward and unpleasant to look at.
Xie Yu was thinking about how to stay out of sight and go back to the cage to sleep.
After a short trip back, I got up and started packing up.
Xie Yu sighed: "I hope it's psychological obsessive-compulsive disorder, not physical obsessive-compulsive disorder. It's the same as smoking addiction and I can quit it."
While tidying up Xie Yu, I was sorting out the memories in my mind.
This was still called the Great Zhou Kingdom, and the capital was still Bianjing. The emperor's surname was still Zhao, and the current emperor was also benevolent.
Just when Xie Yu thought it was his second time traveling, how could he use his previous experience...
Something suddenly occurred to me.
"Hey, the Sheng family, Zhao Pan'er..."
Suddenly Xie Yu was stunned. Isn't this Sheng family from the drama called Zhifou?
I just don’t know if it’s an imaginary TV show or a fan work world.
To be honest, this body was originally from an ordinary farmer's family, but when he was young, his home was hit by a flood and his whole family was killed. With the help of neighbors, he had to take refuge with his aunt who worked as a servant in a wealthy family.
The aunt has some scheming ideas. As the personal dowry girl of the Wang family's legitimate daughter, she has a small amount of power in the Sheng family.
At this time, my aunt had just given birth to a daughter. She originally looked down upon the young Xie Yu's attachment, but she knew that she would never be able to get pregnant again.
After getting along for a long time, I learned that Xie Yu likes honest and reliable children.
Thinking about being a dowry for her own lady, even though her own lady was kind to her, she had already signed a death contract, so she naturally knew that she and her children would be servants of the master for the rest of their lives.
In such a day, one has no freedom, and although one's life can be considered comfortable, it will remain like this for the rest of one's life.
In terms of social status, they were scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants. Although slaves like them had no worries about food and drink in wealthy families, they were not considered full persons according to the law and could not be ranked among them.
The original plan was to let Xie Yu also join the Sheng family so that he could have food to eat.
But after knowing Xie Yu's character, she had the idea of letting Xie Yu take care of her in her old age.
Moreover, Xie Yu's status as a farmer ranks second in the system of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce.
The fourth-ranked merchant can take part in the imperial examination, but the slave-base is naturally not allowed, and the second-ranked peasant is naturally allowed.
So, the aunt began to provide money for Xie Yu to study, hoping to have a good background. As Xie Yu's only high-ranking official, she pointed out her only daughter to Xie Yu. Naturally, what would the aunt enjoy when she became a mother-in-law...
Having been in the Qingliu family for so many years, my aunt is very aware of the benefits of studying and becoming an official.
Therefore, he made up his mind to provide Xie Yu with education.
This original person, who has suffered since childhood, naturally knows the benefits of studying and becoming an official, and is naturally very attentive. However, studying does require too much talent.
Generally speaking, as long as a child is careful, it is normal for a child to get the title of "Tongsheng" at the age of eleven or twelve, even at the age of eight or nine.
For example, Changbai, the eldest son of the Sheng family, started his education at the age of four, was admitted as a boy student at the age of nine, and failed to become a scholar when he took the provincial examination at the age of ten.
But it's time
The grading teacher praised him, saying that although he was young, his writing was already quite impressive, and he would have a bright future ahead of him.
As a result, Changbai studied harder, and at the age of thirteen, he won the first prize in one fell swoop and came in third. He became a famous child prodigy and the seed of reading.
Although the meritorious service of a child was not exempted from corvee service, he was required to serve in the county for a symbolic period of one month every month, and he could even pay in bank.
Moreover, after a man reaches the age of sixteen, he must pay a "single tax", which is a population tax.
This population tax was an important measure used by the ancient government to allow young women to get married as early as possible and increase the population.
Generally, if a woman is 15 years old and has haircut, and a man is 16 years old, if he does not get married, he will have to pay single fees.
If a man has the merit of being born as a child, he can wait until he is twenty years old to receive the crown ceremony and then pay for it.
In ancient times, when everything was of inferior quality, only those who were well educated had special privileges. As for ordinary people, unless they joined a wealthy family and asked a wealthy wealthy family to pay for them, the government would not let them idle.
Although this original body worked very hard, it was not until the age of thirteen that he could barely see the merits of being a child, but it had already consumed a lot of mental energy and became frail and sickly.
Naturally, my aunt knows something about it, and then think about the talent, energy, physical condition and cost of taking the scholar examination in the future.
The aunt had no choice but to let Xie Yu give up the scientific research path.
It happened that the Lord Sheng Hong was promoted to the prosperous Yangzhou and was appointed as the magistrate of Yangzhou.
There is a saying that it is better to be a good doctor than to be a good husband. Through the relationship between the Sheng family, my aunt allowed Xie Yu to study medicine as an apprentice at Yishou Tang, a well-known drug store in Yangzhou.
To be honest, I don’t have much talent for studying, but I still have some talent for studying medicine.
Five years of apprenticeship not only kept me in good health, but also gave me the opportunity to sit in the hall and diagnose my pulse.
Of course, maybe it was for the sake of Sheng Hong, the prefect of Yangzhou.
As for Zhao Paner.
Xie Yu looked at his body with a bronze mirror. He was a little chubby and not tall, about 1.6 meters tall. He had a beard on his chin that was specially grown to look mature when sitting in the hall for pulse diagnosis. Although he was eighteen years old, he said he was twenty-five.
Some people believe it.
This honest and silly look makes him look like an honest and reliable person at first glance.
No wonder, this original aunt raised her wholeheartedly.
This is also the reason why a few patients came to him for treatment when I was still young when I was an intern.
There is a saying that the appearance reflects the heart, and the person is indeed such a person.
Even so, the original person also did something extraordinary.
There is a way to go down to Yangzhou on a crane with a hundred thousand guan tied around your waist.
Yangzhou has been prosperous since ancient times, and the entertainment industry is naturally also prosperous.
Goulan wine shops are not only prosperous, but also provide a large amount of tax revenue to the government, and most of them are government-run...
Moreover, this kind of place is open to the general public except for officials' entertainment restrictions.
Since it is government-run, the main source of its service personnel is naturally arranged by the government.
How the government arranges this? They are usually the family members of criminals. Of course, there are also some poor girls who voluntarily sell themselves to goulan land to save dowries for themselves.
In ancient times, although the man gave a bride price when getting married, the woman's dowry would also reflect her status in her husband's family.
After all, ancient times are not modern times. After a woman gets married, she takes care of her husband and raises her children and does not work.
If you don't work, you will have no source of income, so you won't beat your husband hard.
As for Zhao Paner, a native of Dengzhou, she was turned into an official slave at the age of nine because of her father's crime, and worked as a singing and dancing prostitute in the Yangzhou Leying Song and Dance Studio.
Some time ago, Sheng Hualan, Sheng's eldest daughter, got married, and she was very beautiful.
The prefect Sheng Hong was delighted and wanted to bring some joy to the citizens of Yangzhou.
A special pardon was issued, and the pardon was sent to the Goulan Wine Shop.
Zhao Pan'er naturally saw that under the pardon order, officials and family members like her could also redeem their lives, but they had to pay double the redemption money.
As she was nearly sixteen and already wise, she naturally did not want to stay in the Music and Dance House forever. When she learned about this opportunity, she naturally knew that the opportunity was rare and immediately wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to redeem herself.
Redeemable requires one
Although Zhao Pan'er had saved a lot of money, it was still not enough.
After much deliberation, I set my sights on Xie Yu, who often came here to see a doctor.
After all, at Xie Yu's age now, he needs a lot of medical records to gain experience in seeing a doctor.
Although this place of brothels and brothels is regarded as a dirty place by the upright people, there are many patients and they are very generous.
I am also short of money, want to improve my medical skills, and want to rent a house and move out.
After knowing this way, he hesitated for a long time, but he went anyway.
How should I put it, although it loses face, it does make money quickly.
To be continued...
