The autumn rain was cool last night, and the flowers are fragrant this morning.
The crabapple tree in the courtyard is showering with petals, which are white and pink. The delicate and elegant fragrance is floating in the courtyard.
Under the east window, a pretty girl with a pink face and flat eyebrows stood in the corridor with a handkerchief in her hands and an anxious look on her face.
In the west room, Sister Feng, who has red phoenix eyes, willow leaf eyebrows and pink face, is scolding Li Yunze who has sobered up.
"You are so happy when you get married. You rush to help me, but you also take money from me to treat people to drinks. Now you are so drunk that I have to come and sober you up."
With sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, Sister Feng's sharp tongue is indeed well-deserved.
Shaking his head, Li Yunze frowned, "When is it?"
‘Dang Dang Dang~~~’
While he was talking, the hanging pendulum clock in the room began to swing back and forth to tell the time.
"It's four o'clock." Sister Feng sneered and handed over the sobering soup in her hand. "My Lord, when I came back last night, I vomited everywhere and put me on Ping'er's bed. I came to see you in the morning and you didn't breathe.
He seemed to be lying down, now he has returned to his soul?"
Li Yunze took the sobering soup and drank it all in one gulp. Li Yunze, who was completely sober, then carefully looked at Sister Feng in front of him.
She wears a beaded bun on her head and a beaded hairpin hanging on the side. She wears a tassel around her neck and a rosette on her skirt. She wears a bright red coat and a silver rat coat.
The sky is beautiful, the color is beautiful, the pink face contains the power of spring but does not reveal it, and the red lips smell before they smile.
Every end is splendidly embroidered, like a concubine or a fairy.
"What the system said is right, he really understands me." Li Yunze smacked his lips and waved to Sister Feng, "Come here."
Sister Feng, who had a pretty face and was slightly rosy, pursed her lips and said, "I smell all over my body. Why don't you go wash it off quickly?"
After saying that, he turned around and said, "Ping'er, prepare some bath water for me."
Sister Feng took a step forward and pulled Li Yunze's sleeve, "Go quickly."
Take a quick bath and feel comfortable all over.
It's just that there is no one around to serve me, which makes me feel a little uncomfortable.
When he came out, Sister Feng was already waiting outside the door. "Brother Rong from Xifu sent someone to invite you over early. You were very drunk last night and you are here again today. One day you will have to..."
"Shut up."
Li Yunze, who was thinking about something, frowned, and his casual words made Sister Feng's heart tremble.
Subconsciously, I wanted to get angry, but my eyes met Li Yunze's, and for some reason, I didn't dare to say anything if I got angry.
That magnanimity carried extremely strong pressure.
Li Yunze waved his hand and stepped into the study.
Sister Feng was astonished, "The sun is really shining in the west today, and our master actually entered the study?"
Li Yunze came to the study and rummaged through the books on the bookcase.
He was not looking for some unique book, but a history book.
After searching for a while, I finally found a brand new history book.
After reading through it, Li Yunze roughly understood the current time period.
A sudden change in history occurred in the 14th year of Zhengde. In this year, Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao launched an army to rebel. Emperor Zhengde led the expedition in person, but accidentally fell into the water and died. Wang Yangming, who accompanied him, was held responsible and dismissed.
The cause of Emperor Zhengde's death is a mystery, and most people believe that Prince Ning bribed people in the palace to do it.
The emperor died, but he had no son to succeed him.
Coupled with the growing momentum of King Ning, the whole world was in turmoil, and heroes from all walks of life also took advantage of the situation.
"The Great Zhou Taizu started in Guanzhong, and with the help of heroes, he swept the world in twenty years."
"Taizu reigned for twenty-seven years, and Emperor Taizong reigned for nineteen years. Emperor Taishang ascended the throne at a young age, reigned for fifty years, and ceded his throne to me twelve years ago."
Li Yunze, holding the book in his hand, calculated in his mind, "The fourteenth year of Zhengde is 1519, add twenty-seven, add nineteen, add fifty, add twelve."
The final calculated result made Li Yunze burst into laughter: "1627, the day when Emperor Shizu of the Ming Dynasty ascended the throne."
Putting down the history books, Li Yunze went to read the newspaper again.
Although the Jia family is in decline, it is still a noble family after all. There are still newspapers, but no one will read them.
There were many newspapers in Di Di, and Li Yunze read through them carefully.
As expected, since the time of the Supreme Emperor, climate anomalies in various places have become more and more obvious. The rivers in the south of the Yangtze River froze, and heavy snow fell in Guangdong.
Severe droughts, blizzards, floods, and typhoons continue in cycles.
There were countless reports of disasters in various places in the Dibao. As the year approached, the severity of the disasters became more severe, and rogue bandits in various places gradually became more powerful.
The borderlands are not peaceful either. The grassland tribes in the north have been raiding the south for years, the chieftains in the south are causing chaos, and the ghosts are harassing and raging along the southeast coast.
What caught Li Yunze's attention the most was that the Jurchens in Liao had risen up and defeated the armies of the Zhou Dynasty one after another, and they had become a serious problem.
Before Li Yunze could look at it again, the people in the study were already pushed away.
Sister Feng walked in with Ping'er and saw Li Yunze holding the newspaper in his hand. She smiled before saying anything, "This is really a rare thing. Our master is really reading. Could it be that he wants to take the exam and come back as the top scholar?"
"If you take the imperial examination these days, you will die quickly."
The signs of great chaos have appeared. At this time, only holding military power is the last word.
Imperial examination? If you really win the imperial examination, you will be sent to which county to be the magistrate. If you don't know, you will have to feed the bandits.
"Brother Rong from Xifu has sent someone to hurry up again." Sister Feng's pretty face turned cold. "If you want to go, go quickly. Don't be annoying."
Li Yunze pondered for a moment, "Brother Rong from Xifu wants to get a wife?"
"You are really drunk and stupid." Sister Feng was overjoyed. "Isn't this what you have been busy with these days?"
"That's it." Li Yunze nodded.
In other words, the current time period is before Qin Keqing married into Xifu.
Each of the twelve golden hairpins had a bad fate, and Qin Keqing was particularly miserable.
When she married into the Ningguo Mansion, she jumped into a den of thieves, and suffered misfortune at the hands of Jia Zhen and Jiarong.
The crisis of the Jia family is beginning to emerge. The emperor, who is gradually taking over power, is trying every means to deal with the four princes and eight princes to regain military power. Under such circumstances, it is not so easy to revive the Jia family, not to mention there are so many bad people holding back.
A cold light flashed in Li Yunze's eyes. He nodded and stood up and walked out.
"Grandma." Ping'er gently tugged on Wang Xifeng's sleeve, "The look in my eyes just now was so scary."
"I've seen you." Sister Feng also looked puzzled, "After getting drunk, why do you feel different from the gangster before?"
After leaving the courtyard, Jia Rong's servant has been waiting for him for a long time.
"Second Master Lian, our master is waiting for you."
"Walk."
Walk through the wide north-south corridor, enter the back building from the small corridor, go out and walk west along the street to reach Ningguo Mansion.
In the wing room of Huifang Garden, Jia Rong had already set up a banquet and began to drink by himself.
"Uncle Lian." Seeing Li Yunze come in, Jia Rong hurriedly stood up and greeted him with a smile, "Hurry up and take a seat."
"Brother Rong." Looking at the handsome young man in front of him, Li Yunze also secretly admired that these noble families have married beauties and improved their genes from generation to generation, which is really enviable.
"I came back drunk last night." Jia Rong joked with a smile, "Did Auntie ever blame me?"
"Don't mention her." Li Yunze waved his hand, "How are your marriage arrangements?"
"I'm going to settle down in a few days."
While he was talking, someone walked in outside the door.
The person who came was holding a folding fan in his hand. He had a fair complexion and a proud look between his eyebrows. Only his eyes were cloudy and the bags under his eyes were black, and he looked like he had been drinking too much.
"Second brother, you're here." The visitor came over harshly, greeted Li Yunze, and then raised his hand to slap Jia Rong, who stood up hurriedly. "I know how to drink and drink all day long, but I don't know anything about my marriage."
Go take care of it."
"Dad, the child is wrong." Jia Rong immediately bowed and apologized, lowering his eyebrows like a slave.
The visitor is Jia Zhen, the current head of Ningguo Mansion, the patriarch of the Jia family, and the successor to the title of Ningguo Mansion.
There were also hereditary titles in the Zhou Dynasty, such as Prince Shui Rong of Beijun.
Rong Ning's Second Mansion does not have this kind of treatment. By Jia Zhen's generation, the title of Ning Guo Mansion has been reduced to that of a third-class mighty general.
Looking at the thin Jia Zhen in front of him, Li Yunze smiled slightly.
I can see neither power nor fierceness. He is simply a drunkard and a womanizer.
"Second brother." Jia Zhen, who was showing off her power, sat down and said with a smile, "My wife here, you don't know."
Having said this, he stopped talking again.
He turned around and looked at Jia Rong, who was standing by the side. He raised his leg and kicked him over, "Why don't you pour the wine quickly?"
Looking at Jia Rong who was pouring wine for Jia Zhen in a panic, Li Yunze shook his head slightly.
How could such a cowardly character protect Qin Keqing?
"Second child"
"Brother, drink." Li Yunze clinked glasses with Jia Zhen calmly, but he was yelling in his heart, "You are the second child when you are riding a horse, and your whole family is the second child! Just wait for me!"
"My daughter-in-law is beautiful and fragrant." After a few glasses of wine, Jia Zhen showed her true colors and talked about Qin Keqing in front of Jia Rong without any hesitation.
"I'll wait till he gets into the house, hehehe~~~" After saying that, he turned to look at Jia Rong, who was looking red and white. "What kind of expression do you have, but why are you dissatisfied?"
"How dare you." Jia Rong apologized again and again, "I don't dare, kid. I obey my father in everything."
After a banquet, Jia Zhen was very drunk and kept calling for beauty~~~
Jia Rong had no choice but to ask someone to take care of Youshi.
"Second uncle, there is nothing we can do today." Jia Rong confessed to Li Yunze, "After the marriage is finalized in two days, I will invite my second uncle to the garden to have a good time."
Li Yunze gestured to Jia Zhen, who was sleeping soundly, with a half-smile, "Don't you care about what he said?"
"Hi." Jia Rong, who had never met Qin Keqing, waved her hands carelessly, "What a big deal, we men can still be without women by our side. What belongs to me belongs to my father."
Li Yunze lowered his eyelids, this trash father and son must die!
"In that case, I'll leave first." Li Yunze, who smiled kindly, waved his hand, stood up and left Huifangyuan.
After sending Xing'er and the others back, Li Yunze walked on the street with his hands behind his back.
Shenjing, the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was still very lively, with people coming and going, and shops on both sides of the streets.
It's just the beggars on the street corners and the refugees coming from other places who are always saying that the situation outside is not that good.
"Can't stay here."
The thoughts in Li Yunze's mind kept spinning: "If you stay here, you can only eat and wait for death. You must go out to seize military power. In these troubled times, if you don't have soldiers, you are a lamb to be slaughtered."
Turning around and looking at Rongning Street behind him, a stern look flashed in his eyes, "But before we leave, we have to deal with those beasts first!"
