Chapter 4 Hard Times

Liu Bu couldn't hear what the other party was saying, and the other party was not working. He didn't catch the adulterer in bed, so he couldn't say anything, so he had to decide to press it temporarily and leave quietly.

Liu Bu couldn't find Ankangju, so he simply went back to his residence. He lived in an independent courtyard. Because bamboo was planted everywhere, it was called Qingzhuyuan. It covers a large area, about 400 square meters, and has its own pavilions, towers, garden courtyards. This is his residence alone, which shows how big the Liu Mansion is.

Seeing Liu Bu come back with disappointment, Liu Kang also guessed it, and he said, "It's a pity that the young master can't attend the poetry meeting."

Liu Bu said with his hands behind his back: "It's really not suitable now, and there will be a chance in the future." He didn't know what the other party was planning, but it was right to go against him.

Liu Bu still likes to be the eldest son of the Liu family. In his previous life, he had kidney disease and had been a heavy burden on his family. He had to undergo dialysis every month. Of course, the quality of life is very low. Young people should have fallen in love, eat, drink, and have fun. There is nothing else to do except stay at home and read books, movies, and music.

He thought this life was like this, and his life was so dark. Who knew that there was another turning point now and he could live a completely different life. His body was not his, his soul was still me, and that Liu Bu! Life is depressing, who doesn't want to try another life?

Now there is no worry-free life here, and there is another father and grandmother who love him. She is so luxurious that she heard that he was going to study, so she bought a Yangzhou thin horse to accompany him to study.

What is this Yangzhou thin horse? It is a thin and sick horse. The thin horse is a woman with a graceful and weak appearance. It regards thinness as beauty, satisfying the aesthetic views of wealthy businessmen and wealthy people, and then making money. This is the allusion of Yangzhou thin horses, just like the beauty pageant competition in later generations.

Just like not every girl can participate in beauty participation, beauty pageants are divided into different levels.

A first-class qualification will be taught to play the piano and flute, recite poems and write, draw Go, play double land, apply domino, and have all kinds of tricks, as well as exquisite makeup skills and body training. A second-class qualification will also be able to recognize words and play dots, but it is mainly trained to become a financial and accounting talent, know how to keep accounts and manage affairs, so as to assist the owner and become a good assistant. A third-class qualification will not be allowed to read, but will only learn some female red, cut, fried and steamed crisps, make stove food, and prepare fruits. Each has its own skills and is trained to become a qualified cook.

Of course, all these painstaking training is to find a good buyer and sell it at a good price in the future.

What is the difference between this and modern secretary assistants?

It can be said that as long as he is willing to study and hire a secretary assistant for him, there is no problem. In addition, if you want to buy sports cars and yachts, you can also talk about it. Such a life can only be said that poverty limits my imagination. Liu Bu decided that he must live such a life.

When he was online in his previous life, he had been envious of the lives of rich second generations. He could live whatever he wanted, but he was trapped by illness and life and had never even fallen in love.

Liu Bu was happily thinking about living a super rich second-generation life, but when he saw the newspaper, he felt like he was poured on a plate of cold water, which woke him up.

It is now 1634, and I died ten years later.

A powerful and wealthy family like him either died from the Jiannu of the Tartars or the bandits.

Don’t be glad that there are still ten years left. 1644 was the year of the demise of the Ming Dynasty. Before that, Jiannu had already conquered Shandong and washed half of Shandong. Even Jinan and Linqing were no exception. The essence of the Ming Dynasty turned into ruins and white land.

When Liu Bu thought of this, he couldn't laugh. The world was unkind and he regarded everything as straw dogs. Now it was the end of the dynasty, and the world was in chaos. Shaanxi and Henan had become a mess. The world was in chaos. It was impossible for you to live a peaceful and peaceful life.

The dynasty overturned, and the whole body was touched. No one could stay out of the matter. The Liu family in Linqing was the richest and most prominent and wealthy. However, on the day of the destruction of Linqing, the skin would not exist, and the hair would exist?

Liu Bu was originally happy to live a good life, but now he was scared and sweated.

Originally, he thought that he could live the life of a second-generation rich and second-generation official in the Ming Dynasty, and then learn to read and write under the guidance of the beauty. Wouldn't this life be beautiful?

What he thought of now was that Jiannu attacked Linqing, and the iron cavalry was scattered and murdered and set fire. Their family was pressed to the ground and waiting to behead his head, while his beloved beauty Chen Yuanyuan let Jiannu play with it...

Liu Bu fell to the ground, and his cold sweat broke out.

Liu Kang was bringing tea in and almost knocked over the tray. He was shocked and said, "Young master! Don't scare me! Someone is here! Someone is here!" He hurriedly put the tray aside and helped Liu Bu up.

Liu Bu stood up and said, "I'm fine!"

If Liu Kang was careful enough, he would find that Liu Bu's eyes were different. He was still the green boy with beautiful eyes, but this firm and sharp eyes were not something that this young master who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun.

Liu Bu looked at the gray sky and said, "It's very boring! I'm going out for a walk."

Liu Kang said: "It's just that the young master has a confinement order."

Liu Bu said: "I just want to walk around the street and relax."

Liu Kang said: "The young master is getting what he wants now, why not study with peace of mind? The streets are full of refugees and there are many thieves and beggars, so it is really not difficult to leave."

Liu Buran was silent, the streets were full of refugees, and he had explained the seriousness of the problem. This is Linqing! Linqing has become the largest commercial city in the north of the country.

Linqing became popular because of the canal. After Emperor Chengzu Zhu Di moved the capital to Beijing, he dredged the Huitong River and straightened the Grand Canal, which was more than 900 kilometers shortened from the Sui Dynasty. Therefore, merchant ships and merchant ships from south to north changed their route to the Grand Canal, making Linqing a throat place on the canal in one fell swoop.

Linqing rose rapidly with the prosperity of the Grand Canal canal transportation, with a prosperous economy and a prosperous culture. It has become one of the most modern cities. It is an important commercial circulation center, taxation center, the largest tribute brick fireworks and the birthplace of northern folk art. It is known as Jiaqi County, prosperous and overwhelming capitals, Suzhou and Hangzhou in the south, and Linzhang in the north.

This is one of the few cities in the world with a population of over one million. In terms of population and economic output, it can squeeze into the top five of the Ming Dynasty, equivalent to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen in the Ming Dynasty. Now it is said that the streets are full of refugees?

In later generations, Liu Bu had never heard of Linqing. He was just a county-level city and could not be compared with Jinan and Qingdao. However, because of the canal transportation, this is a super city in the world.

Liu Bu was even more upset when he heard this.

When Liu Ning heard the sound, he rushed in with a knife in his arms. Seeing Liu Bu was helpless, he felt relieved. When he heard Liu Kang's words, he also said, "Yes! There are too many refugees on the street, and they are mad. These people are hungry and crazy. They can't do anything?"

Liu Bu said, "There is no food to eat? How can this be done? Is it so cold and I am so hungry?"

Liu Ning said, "What is the reason for the first time when I patrol the streets half an hour ago? Isn't it that the people who starved to death or died of cold when they walked on the streets? The mass graves outside the city have long been gone, and the wild dogs on the mountain are more fierce than wolves."

Liu Bu was shocked and starved to death. This was the most terrible thing he had ever heard of. He was a human being in his two lives. Even though he was poor in his previous life, he would not have no food to eat! Liu Bu said: "The government doesn't care if he starved to death? Where is the porridge shed? No one can provide disaster relief?"

Liu Ning said: "The government said there was no disaster, so where did the disaster relief come from? There were several wealthy families in the city setting up porridge sheds, but there were too many monks and too little porridge, which was not enough."

Liu Bu said: "Where is our Liu family's porridge shed?"

Liu Ning said: "The Liu family's porridge shed provides a thousand kilograms of rice every day, but the housekeeper Xu Jianqiang bothered the refugees to wait at the door, which affected the in and out of the way, so he cut it to five hundred kilograms and distributed it early."

Liu Bu said: "Is it a big deal? Is this starving to death?"

Liu Ning said: "Who dares to disobey the orders of Xu Jianqiang butler?"

Liu Bu said: "Let me lead the way, I want to ask for a grandma!"

Liu Ning's eyes flashed and he said, "Abide by the order."

Liu Bu is asking people to lead the way, not just pretending to be airs, but really not knowing the way. The Liu family is too big.

Liu Ning is currently leading the way. It was afternoon. The old lady had just woken up from a nap and was drinking afternoon tea. The four daughters-in-law were waiting. Liu Bu entered Nena and bowed and said, "Congratulations to Grandma! Congratulations to Grandma!"

The old lady smiled and said, "Why did you give this great gift? Get up quickly, get up quickly, Chunxiang, haven't you taken out the candied fruit for the young master to eat?"

Liu Bu said flatteringly: "Thank you grandma! You are the best for me in the whole world, grandma."

The old lady smiled and said, "Look at this little mouth, it's as sweet as if it's been smearing honey. What's the point of asking for grandma?"

Liu Bu is famous for not attending the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. Every time he is so sweet, he either causes trouble or asks others for help.

Liu Bu said: "Just now, the child was in a nap, and in a daze, his soul wandered in Taixu, and he actually saw Guanyin Bodhisattva."

Mrs. Liu was shocked and said, "What did the Bodhisattva say?"

Liu Bu said: "A family that accumulates good deeds will surely have good fortune. Grandma, you eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha's name to save disaster relief and benefit the people. No one can see the cultivation of harmony. If you are diligent and know God, you will surely reproduce and become rich and noble."

These elderly ladies, eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddha's name all day long, believe in this trick. She smiled so hard that she couldn't stop and said, "But really? What the Bodhisattva really said?"

Liu Bu said: "Of course it's true. How many courage does the grandson have to make a rumor of the Bodhisattva?" The sayings of ghosts and gods in this era are deeply rooted in people's hearts. People dare to deceive others, but they dare not deceive God. After Liu Bu said this, his concubines were moved and congratulated them one after another. The old lady smiled like a flower.

Liu Bu said again: "Grandma Bodhisattva has something to tell you?"

The old lady was busy straightening her clothes and said solemnly: "Please tell me!"

Liu Bu said seriously: "Let's walk a hundred steps after meals and live to ninety-nine."

The old lady was overjoyed and said, "What the Bodhisattva means is that an old woman can live to ninety-nine years old?"

Liu Bu said: "That's probably what it means, but the Bodhisattva is too stingy, at least one hundred years old!"

The old lady was so happy that she said, "Your child, the Bodhisattva can also be arranged by you? Just ninety-nine, ninety-nine."
