In September of the first year of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it rained heavily at night.
Luoyang Shendu Imperial City, the side hall across the west, is unknown. Because there are five princes and grandsons who are quite noble, who are under house arrest, people named the Five Kings Hall. Several times they have been renovated
Afterwards, only one alchemy room that was originally used to refine elixirs for the Emperor and four ear rooms that were originally used as warehouses were left. They were curled up in the shadow of the palace walls, becoming increasingly desolate and humble.
A flash of lightning streaked across the sky, and you could vaguely see the pouring raindrops sprinkled on the high palace walls, which were set against the vermilion palace walls and dripped like blood.
"Brother Run'er hasn't come back yet?"
A few young men braved the heavy rain, snuggled up to the door of the slightly painted door of the Danfang where they depended for living. They stared at the stream in the yard with eager eyes, as if a fairy from Yaochi had descended to earth.
Like a stream with tall reeds.
While speaking, the fairy of Yaochi did not come. A little fat man with a messy bun on his waist, with a scribbled bun, squeezed away the slightly withered reeds, and carried a very fat carp in both hands.
Appeared in everyone's eyes.
Although Luoyang in September is not as windy as outside the Great Wall, it is already full of green mountains and thin late autumn. Another severe rain makes the autumn wind that is already a bit squeaky.
.
"It's so cold!" The little fat man walked into the main hall with a swing, "Is it a fire?"
Several brothers on the side hurriedly wiped their bodies and covered their clothes. "I've gotten up long ago, Brother Run quickly went to the fire to get some warmth."
The smell of grilled fish was swept by the wind, and the few people were speechless, leaving only a few sounds of swallowing saliva.
The fish today were very big, and it took a while to roast it. Spread it on the lotus leaves that had been prepared, and a few teenagers cut the roasted big fish into pieces.
Unable to stand the greedy eyes of the youngest brother, Run Ge'er changed his fish tail and hugged it in his hand and chewed it.
The fish tail was a little unfamiliar, so it was a bit difficult to chew. Brother Run whispered while gnawing on the fish tail. "It would be great if there was some cumin and chili noodles."
"Brother Run, what is chili?"
"It is a kind of fruit in the extreme south as mentioned in the book, which is particularly cold."
Li Chongrun touched the head of the little brother who was asking the question and just explained it briefly.
"Are the fruit? Is it sweet? I really want to taste it."
"When we go out, my brother will take you to find it."
The little fat brother Run, whose name is Li Chongrun, was the prince for a few days. Others don’t know that this deposed prince, who has no sense of nobleness, was reborn from time to time.
It has been eight years since Li Chongrun traveled here.
--------------
Although the fish was very big, the teenagers were half-old. When I was ate it to death, they naturally finished eating it quickly.
"I have eaten a lot recently. After a few days, it will be difficult to eat. I have to think of some more ways." Li Chongrun grew up in the countryside in his previous life. After becoming an adult, he was obsessed with fishing. He never insisted on the Air Force in the fisherman.
Next, although the fishing level is limited, the foraging skills are full.
So although I was quite harsh in prison, I lived a good life.
After cleaning up the traces, Li Chongrun remembered that the fire in the alchemy room had not yet been extinguished, so he went to take a look.
He lifted the linen door curtain connected to the Danfang, and saw that the flames in the abandoned Danfang furnace were indeed a little dark red.
Li Chongrun found a container, took some rainwater from outside, and slowly sprinkled it on the unburned ash.
A few small crackling sounds came.
The dull fire light is still a little dazzling.
------------
The next morning, the oldest and hunchbacked brother, thanked him, picked up the food box thrown by the palace servant who was sent to the food, and hurriedly sent it to the fat man Li Chongrun.
"Brother Run! Brother Run! Breakfast is here!"
But Li Chongrun did not jump off the bed as he did this morning as usual, and when he heard the meal, he jumped down from the bed with a silence in the room, without any sound.
"Brother Run!" My cousin entered the door and saw that the room was not cleaned up. He was lying in a mess and was spread on the bed. However, the person was not on the bed and he didn't know where he went.
"Here, here we are." Just as the hunchbacked cousin was about to go out to find someone, Li Chongrun hurriedly lifted the curtain connected to the Danfang and ran over.
A slightly worn linen robe with gray dust, covered in dust, and it seemed to have been painted with gray on its chubby little face, as if someone had painted the bottom of the pot, black and white.
"It's so hungry when I have some food to eat." When Li Chongrun saw the lunch box, his gray little hand stretched straight to the lid of the lunch box.
"I'm dirty like a mud monkey. What are you doing?" My cousin gently patted the back of his hand and took it to the pond where he usually fetched water and washed his hands and face. Only then did Li Chongrun get permission to start a meal.
.
"Today's egg yolk was eaten by the fat pig again." The breakfast was a small bowl of mixed grains, and it was rare to have an egg. Although I couldn't starve to death, it was difficult to eat enough, not to mention that there were people who snatch it.
"Some of them are good. Even if she eats them all, what can we do if we starve our brothers to death here?" The hunchbacked cousin seemed to have something in his words, and his mouth moved, trying to say something else, but he didn't dare to say it.
come out.
"Leave breakfast for Brother Long and Brother Fan. Today I'm going to Helu Pavilion to attend class, so I can see if I can make some food." Li Chongrun naturally knew what he wanted to say, but this kind of thought was in this deep palace.
It is better to keep it in your heart. After changing the topic, I put down the food box and rushed back to the room to change my clothes.
"So what did you do just now? It turned out like this."
I don’t know if I didn’t hear or didn’t want to say it, but Li Chongrun didn’t give his cousin the answer, but there was a vague sound of a crisp collision.
On weekdays, the emperor strictly prohibited these young men from contacting outsiders. However, the prince became illiterate and would have lost his face in the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, the Helu Pavilion, which was originally only storing books and books in the west, temporarily replaced Chongwen.
The work of the museum was responsible for the education of several nobles living in secluded here.
"Brother Run, Brother Run." Because of the recent coursework, the Great Yunjing that advocates the new female emperor, it is really difficult to recite. When Li Chongrun was having a headache, he heard his little cousin shouting quietly.
Own.
"Sister Baoer, I haven't seen each other for a few days." Li Chongrun smiled very sincerely, as if he saw a large cake in front of him.
"Well, I went to the newly built princess's mansion with my mother a few days ago, saying I was going to recognize the house." My little cousin is the daughter of Li Chongrun's aunt Princess Taiping, and lives with her brother in the west. She is just like Li Chongrun.
Compared to being able to leave the west city or meet foreign guests, I am much more free.
"Brother is having fun there, but Baoer doesn't like it." Unlike her mother's round sky, her cousin looks a bit like Li Chongrun's unlucky ex-uncle, with a melon-shaped face and crescent eyebrows.
Now that I am six or seven years old, it’s time to draw a strip, and my body is very slim.
"If you don't like it, come to Brother Run's side. Brother Run tells Baoer a story."
"Okay, okay. Baoer wants to listen to the Legend of Zhen Huan!"
"Little girl listens to those intrigue stories, which is not conducive to physical and mental health."
"That tells the story of General Mulan."
"It's not good to fight and kill. Why don't we tell a story about Journey to the West."
"You have told Journey to the West more than 200 times... Baoer brought some snacks today. Good brother, let me tell you." My cousin took out a ball of them and wrapped them in a scarlet brocade.
Something faintly smelled of chestnuts came.
I don’t know if it’s because the little girl is too cute and she is too lethal, or because she doesn’t eat breakfast, she really wants to eat something to make her stomach. Li Chongrun couldn’t resist her cousin’s entanglement, so she could only talk about Mulan.
"...How can I tell if I am a male or female when I walk by the ground?" Since I traveled to the Tang Dynasty, whether it is the re-development of the brain nerves or the fact that I am really talented in this life, Li Chongrun found that his memory has improved a lot, even many
I have returned the texts I have long since returned to the teacher, and now I can memorize them completely.
In addition, he worked as a floppy writer for many years in his previous life, and was very skilled in using some small methods such as beginning, inheritance, turning and turning. Li Chongrun naturally told the story very well.
My sister Baoer naturally felt that she frowned and laughed happily, so she happily gave her many chestnut cakes as rewards and urged for updates.
But the story will never be perfect. Just as Li Chongrun finished telling the story and was about to eat a few bites of snacks, a very arrogant duck voice came over: "Isn't this the little stutter from my waste uncle's house? Today I'm going to be
Come and take advantage of my sister?"
"Li Chongrun met...the county." Unlike Baoer, who is still white, Li Chongrun was demoted to a commoner, this arrogant cousin Xue Chongxun inherited the title of his father and is now a nobleman who can wear light red robes.
"I know how to tell some stories about 4 or 6 every day, and lie to my sister to eat." Although I am only one or two years older than Li Chongrun, I don't know if I eat too well on weekdays or have talent, Xue Chongxun is taller than Li Chongrun
Much stronger.
"Brother Run was not lying to me for food, but I specially used it to thank him. He told me a long story today." Baoer was a little afraid of his brother and defended him weakly.
"I know that eating every day is almost fatter." Ignoring my sister's defense, Cousin Xue pointed at Li Chongrun with a domineering look.
"Even if our things are thrown into Jiujiang Pond to feed fish, you can't be cheaper!" After saying that, he snatched the snacks in Li Chongrun's hand, and waved them outside the door.
As soon as the youngest Brother Fan walked to the door, he was hit by a bag of things. The four-year-old child was a little scared and stunned, and then burst into tears.
"Why are you crying? It's not that your father is dead!" Hearing that he hit someone, Cousin Xue turned his head and looked at it, and found that it was the former emperor and the youngest son of the current crown prince's family. He might feel that what he said just now seemed a little unfair.
OK, frowned, "It's just a big thing to touch, why are you crying like a woman? It's useless!"
After Cousin Xue said that, he pulled his sister out of the door and walked out of the door. Sister Baoer was helpless and waved goodbye to Li Chongrun with tears in her eyes. But Li Chongrun was eager to comfort her little cousin, and did not return the gift.
"Brother Fan is fine." Li Chongrun wanted to help him up, but he didn't get up. He just rubbed his hit forehead and picked up the scattered snacks from the ground.
"It's okay, brother. It won't hurt after rubbing it."
Brother Fan carefully picked up the scattered snacks and carefully blew off the floating dust on them.
"These snacks can still be eaten with edibles. You should pick them up quickly. If they are stepped on, they will not be eaten."
I carefully picked the cleanest snack. Before the tears on Brother Fan’s face had dried up, I squeezed out a smile, “Brother Run, eat.”
Li Chongrun felt his eyes a little sore, and turned his head and didn't want his younger brother to see his eyes, but saw that Cousin Xue's very arrogant back gradually faded away.
"You have to find a way to beat him up."
Seeing someone changing the broken lantern on the far palace wall, Li Chongrun had an idea after he was scheming.
