Chapter 2 Widows

Chapter 2 Widow’s Widow()

It seems that in a dream, I am like a small boat in the big waves, rolling uncontrollably in the stormy waves.

A wave that was more than ten meters high hit him, and although he had a firm mind, he couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.

"Ah!" He finally woke up from this dazed state, only to find that he was already covered in sweat.

"Uncle, are you awake?" A soft voice sounded in his ears. He turned his head and glanced, and saw a young woman wearing a linen dress, holding a black porcelain bowl, looking at it with bright eyes.

On the ground behind her, a medicine pot was bubbling. The rich aroma of Chinese medicine filled the whole room.

His mind was in a mess, with no thoughts at all. He glanced at this woman, who was wearing a long linen skirt, but could not hide her unparalleled elegance, withdrew his gaze and began to look around.

This is a room with ancient charm. Well, although it is a bit shabby, it is still full of classical atmosphere. There is an old Eight Immortals table, calligraphy and paintings on the wall, and a thick thread-bound book on the bedside table.

Where is this? Is this a movie set? Who is this woman, an actress? Why am I here? Am I dead?

Am I saved? But where is this?

My head was in a mess, as if I had been hit by a sledgehammer. I couldn't remember anything, but I felt like I could remember everything.

Waves of sleepiness hit him again. Although he tried very hard to open his eyes and prevent himself from falling asleep, he failed in the end.

Ten days later at night, he sat in the yard, looking up at the crescent moon hanging on the treetops in boredom. After a long time, he withdrew his gaze, rubbed his sore neck, and sighed.

Turning his head and looking to the other side, he saw that the candlelight in the next room was still on, and the delicate figure of a woman was reflected on the yellowed window paper.

Over the past few days, he has understood his situation.

This is Jiangning, which is also known as Nanjing in later generations. My current name is Lu Heng, and I have the reputation of being a scholar. However, my reputation has not improved since I passed the exam three years ago. I usually study hard, but now I am blocked by books.

Qiancheng. A typical nerd.

The Lu family is also a scholarly family, and their ancestors have produced many officials. Even his father worked as a small county magistrate in other places. However, he was implicated in a case two years ago and was executed. Fortunately,

The children were not implicated.

Now, there is only one widowed sister-in-law in his family. It was the beautiful woman holding the medicine bowl at the moment he woke up. Her name was Liu Qingqing, and she was only two years older than him. His sister-in-law married into the family two years ago, and she was still there.

He and his brother did not share the happiness of human relations. The sick brother was affected by his father's incident and died soon after.

In order to survive, Lu Heng sold his family's property and bought a small yard by the Qinhuai River in Jiangning, where he lived with his sister-in-law.

Two years later, there is not much left after selling the ancestral property. These days, I rely on my sister-in-law to work for others to maintain the family's livelihood.

Before, he had an engagement. The engagement was with someone else while his father was still alive. The other party was Su Xiaoqian, the daughter of Mr. Yin of Jiangning Zhizao Mansion.

However, since the death of his father two years ago, the Lu family has plummeted. This Su Fuyin seems to have regretted the marriage. Finally, after holding it in for two years, Su Fuyin couldn't help but speak.

Ten days ago, Su Fuyin sent people to send Lu Jian a lot of gifts and money, and his request was that Lu Jian hand over the engagement. But this bookworm was so angry that he fainted on the spot.

When I wake up again, everything has changed.

In his previous life, he had exhausted all his agencies and spent his whole life making wedding dresses for others. But in the end, he still ended up miserable. Now, he just wants to live an ordinary life, without disputes, without intrigues, and be an ordinary person.

people.

but.

He looked back at the dilapidated courtyard and his sister-in-law who was working hard in the wing. He looked up at the crescent moon on the treetops and sighed: "But this is too miserable!"

Ten days ago, his sister-in-law asked someone to find him a job as an accountant in the king's house. Unexpectedly, this boy said that a gentleman loves money and gets it in a right way, a gentleman and righteousness, a villain and profit, and he said all kinds of things.

They are all of inferior quality, but the only one who is good at reading is that he will not be able to survive or die.

Although Liu Qingqing was angry, she didn't say anything. She just asked him to think carefully before making a decision.

Bai Wuyi is a scholar! He is so willing to eat soft food and let this weak woman support him?

A wry smile appeared on Lu Heng's face, amused by the stubborn thoughts of the former owner of the body.

Now, I have changed myself. Do I still need to think about it? Of course I have to go. Moreover, the accounting job seems to be good. The income is good, and it is not very tiring compared to the job in my previous life.

More importantly, the current family situation requires urgent financial resources.

Therefore, after his body recovered a little, Lu Heng told his sister-in-law what he thought.

After seeing Lu Heng's attitude change from before, Liu Qingqing just glanced at Lu Heng and said softly. However, Lu Heng still saw a smile in her eyes.

.

You should be very happy!

He was going to report to the palace tomorrow. Lu Heng was sitting in the courtyard, but thinking about another thing. That is, the problems in the world today.

He thought for a long time and couldn't understand how such strange things could happen in history.

The current era is a dynasty called the Zhou Dynasty. Its founding emperor was the empress Wu Zetian in the memory of later generations Lu Heng.

However, history seems to have changed here.

In the late period of Wu Zetian, there was no historical record of the previous life, and it was passed down to the Li family.

This first-generation empress made a little joke with history. She asked a member of the Wu family to recognize her as her mother. Then, she made the member of the Wu family a prince. After a bloody suppression, everyone

There was no more opposition in Zhou Dynasty. The Li family that had rebelled before was also wiped out.

Afterwards, history took a fork in the road. Under the influence of the Tang Dynasty, the Wu family also had numerous talents.

The throne is passed down from generation to generation. Now he is the thirtieth emperor of the Zhou Dynasty. The rest are not well understood. I don’t know whether it is because his thinking has not recovered, or because Lu Heng is a person who never comes out.

A nerd, because he doesn't care about these important court affairs.

The door to the wing was pushed open with a creak, and Liu Qingqing's graceful body appeared at the door.

She was holding a piece of clothing in her hand, but after seeing her bite off the threads on the clothing with her tiny teeth, she glanced at Lu Heng and said coldly: "It's cold outside, uncle, you'd better go inside to avoid getting cold.

!”

In the winter of the third year of Qingyuan of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a beautiful woman stood at the door of the hut, with the dim light shining on her body, like a fairy who had fallen from the mortal world.
