In fact, although the name of China is China, it means "the heart of civilization".
This meaning is very grand and entrusts the great aspirations of the ancestors. Because this is not describing the heart of a certain civilization, but the heart of the "civilization" itself!
However, it was not until the invention of printing in the Song Dynasty that social rules gradually became more and more detailed, and everything had rules and explanations. Modern society seems open, but in fact it just changed the rules into explanations.
Before this, etiquette was not so complicated and strict.
Although there is little mainstream support for women running the family, there is actually some support. Emperor Wu Zhou was able to gain a certain amount of support, not only because of his strength, but also because of the primitive openness of the social atmosphere.
And Xiao Shengyu is one of the typical female elites. Among the many young nephews of the Xiao family, her academic ability has grown very well, even better than many of the first, second and third heirs of the big family.
Although it seems that Xiao Shengyu's main task in this noble family is outside the temple. But because of the current situation...
Although the Xiao family still has Xiao Yu, who holds a high position in the court, compared to Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling and other members of the core team are much inferior.
It even has to be said that in order to keep himself as safe as possible in the court, Xiao Yu still worked very hard to do things for Li Er - as long as it did not threaten his own family or seriously threaten the families of these brothers.
But after all, the climate has changed, so Xiao Shengyu's burden is actually very heavy.
This time I came to Hangzhou to visit old friends because of my family burden.
This time, Xiao Shengyu's carriage was bumpy all the way, and Jinzhiyuye's daughter's house was bumpy all the way. The carriage immediately started to move. Although his face was a little pale, his eyes were still full of energy.
After a while, Xiao Shengyu finally arrived at a place close to the outskirts of Hangzhou. It looked more exquisite, but not too eye-catching... a cement building.
Four-story small buildings are relatively common in the shipbuilding industrial area beside the West Lake. What is special about this small building is that the windows are all shiny and transparent objects.
What is this transparent thing? People in Hangzhou have been discussing it and it has become an urban legend for a long time, but——
It didn't spread for long, because soon everyone knew that the resident Wu Meiniang was a member of the Tang Dynasty's General Li Sheng...
So naturally, in the chat after dinner, the people in the market also guessed that those windows were most likely made of glass——
And glass is an extremely expensive material!
It is rumored that a glass jug appeared at the West Lake auction before. This glass jug was sold for a sky-high price of 100,000 yuan. You can imagine... This seemingly ordinary small building is actually quite extraordinary.
But after all, there is no other news other than that. No matter how luxurious the glass windows are, the curtains are closed most of the time, and it is so high that you can't see the interior decoration.
The moment Xiao Shengyu came to the small building and saw this scene...
My heart was suddenly shocked.
Because she has heard of this glass before!
At the auction that day, the appearance of the glass pot shocked the five surnames and Qiwang beyond anything. But after that... they actually bought it. Then the black swan incident of lumber prices happened, and Wang Jing and others naturally hated it.
The house was full of people, and they ignored this rare glass pot.
But this does not mean that they really forgot about this thing. After all, it was a treasure bought with a lot of money, and it was impossible to throw it into the trash can, so Xiao Yu, and...
The Five Surnames and Qiwang are not just those few people, but there are also a huge number of people, connections, and circles all over the world that are intricately connected behind them.
Xiao Shengyu, as a young elite in charge of the Xiao family, of course knew about this, but she really didn't expect...
Glass is such a precious and rare thing, but it can be used to make windows...
And it is a large window, which means that the glass must also be large.
And since it is glass, this thing is probably very thin!
Such a rare thing is simply astonishing. Just in response to that sentence, listen to the thunder in the silent place!
But it was also because of seeing this scene that Xiao Shengyu quickly calmed down after a moment of shock.
hehe.
This Li Sheng is quite famous, but one of the most well-known things is that he basically never goes there... No, to be precise, he almost never hangs out in Chang'an City, especially with those group of ministers.
For this reason, people in the world often call Li Sheng the reincarnation of Marquis Wu, which is highly praised.
But now it seems? Haha, Zhuge Liang would not give himself such a luxurious living environment.
A rare and precious treasure like glass can be used as a window in one piece. Do you call this the reincarnation of Marquis Wu?
Xiao Shengyu immediately understood in his heart that Li Sheng was probably the kind of scumbag celebrity from the Wei and Jin Dynasties. He didn't have any ability to gain fame and reputation, but he didn't go to the court to play... Isn't this a typical example of the Wei and Jin Dynasties who defrauded famous celebrities.
After realizing this, Xiao Shengyu's originally nervous mood suddenly became less tense. He walked forward relatively calmly and knocked on the door.
After a while, someone came to open the door and saw that she was a woman in commoner clothes. She was very beautiful.
This made Xiao Shengyu smile secretly in his heart. This Li Sheng was clearly a drunkard and wealthy scoundrel, but he liked to pretend to be indifferent to fame and fortune.
This beauty has a mansion, but she still wears this outfit.
But this is exactly what she wants, because since what Li Sheng likes is wine, sex and wealth, then things will be easy to handle.
And what is this thing...
It's nothing else, but Xiao Yu's plan.
To be precise, it was Xiao Yu's personal private plan.
That is to make plans in advance.
Under the strange trend that the aristocratic family is finally evaporating in this world, find a way to find another way out!
After all, Xiao Yu did a lot of real work in the court, depending on the problem...
It cannot be said that players like Pei Ji are not as smart as him, but precisely because he has done a lot of work, Xiao Yu's thinking is more advanced than that of celebrities like Pei Ji.
So he is actually very realistic and knows that he must work hard to find a solution this time. Of course it is good to have friends like Wang Jing and Pei Ji. When going out, he can always say "my friend Wang Jing" and "my good friend Pei Ji".
The sense of circle is full, but he also knows that these people are really unreliable at critical moments...
The current world gives people a strong feeling that the world has changed, and I hope these people can find a way out... Anyway, the more Xiao Yu thinks about it, the more pressure he feels.
So I finally thought about it and came to the conclusion that I must find Li Sheng and establish contact with Li Sheng...
Then, the future Xiao family can find a way out from their destiny!
