In the early winter of the second year of the Dianlu (680 AD), the second year of the Tang Dynasty (680 AD), after supper, the Southern Lu Hou, the Jin Zi Guanglu Dafu, the scattered cavalry officer in front of the hall, and Mei Xiaolang, the subordinate of the Zhongshu, was drinking tea in the study. At this time, he disliked anyone to disturb him the most. He opened several historical and historical books in the study, and while reading, he quietly thought about things, family affairs, court affairs, and country affairs.

At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the door, and walked through the flower hall of the courtyard and rushed straight to the study. Mei Xiaolang frowned and heard a soft scolding from outside the door: "Mei An, why are you so rash? Don't you know that the Marquis is studying?"

That was the voice of his personal general Mei Yi. Mei Gang, the two brothers of Mei Yi, were originally surnamed Luo, and were personal soldiers of Du Fuwei, the leader of the Jianghuai Army at the end of the Sui Dynasty. Du Fuwei and Mei Xiaolang's father Mei Zhiyan were close friends in private. Du Fuwei surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and was named King of Wu. Later, the general Fu Gongyou rebelled. Du Fuwei was afraid of being implicated and dispersed his personal guards around him, and entrusted the Luo brothers to the Mei family. The brothers changed their surnames to Mei and followed the Mei family for many years.

The two brothers are very skilled in martial arts and have unique skills. They are not only close to the sword immortal, but also rarely loyal and meticulous. They are very relieved to do things. They are Mei Xiaolang's most trusted confidant. Now the eldest brother Mei Gang was sent by Mei Xiaolang to be the marching lieutenant under the command of General Pei Xingjian, and the second brother Mei Yi is still in the Mei Mansion to be the personal guardian of Mei Xiaolang, responsible for the security of Marquis Mei. Mei An, who broke into the yard, was brought from his hometown Wuzhou to Chang'an. He is now the general manager of the Mei Mansion. He has always been careful and never rash in his work. What's wrong today? He is a sixty-year-old trots all the way to the door of the Marquis' study.

"Happy events, great joys, the letter sent from Wuzhou City, the little marquis woke up! It was Sun Xian who cured him! I want to report to the marquis quickly!" Mei An was so happy that he shouted outside the study excitedly.

Mei Xiaolang was stunned when he heard this, waved his sleeves in the study, and the door opened without wind. He shouted loudly: "What? My son's illness is cured? Mei An, come in and speak!" Mr. Mei, who has always been frightened and angry when encountering problems, could not suppress his voice at this time and was a little excited.

Mei An entered the room to salute, took out a letter from her sleeve and handed it to Mei Xiaolang's desk. Of course Mei An did not open the letter, but he already knew the news from the sender. The old man's face was full of joy, and even the wrinkles on his forehead stretched a lot. Mei Xiaolang opened the letter from the distance, and after reading it, he let out a long sigh, looked up at the sky and sighed: "Qiao Niang, our son has finally woken up, and your spirit in heaven can also be relieved!"

What happened? This starts with the origin of the Mei family in Wucheng-

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang lost power and all the world's heroes rose. Mei Zhiyan, a hero from the rivers and lakes, also raised the banner of righteousness to the Tang Dynasty. Later, he led his troops to surrender to the Tang Dynasty and was named King of Southern Lu in the founding country. It was one of the first rebels to surrender to the Li Tang Dynasty. Later, the Wucheng area was occupied by Du Fuwei's Jianghuai rebels. Mei Zhiyan saw the situation in the world and wrote a letter to persuade Du Fuwei to return to the Tang Dynasty. Later, Du Fuwei also surrendered to the Tang Dynasty when he saw the general trend. After Du Fuwei returned to the Tang Dynasty, his general Fu Gongyou once again raised troops to rebel, which was destroyed by General Li Jing, and then Jiangnan was pacified.

Mei Zhiyan was promoted to the title of king after returning to the Tang Dynasty, but his merits and qualifications were far from comparable to a group of founding fathers in the court. He was happy to be a idle prince and not participate in military and political affairs. Of course, many of the achievements of the founding of the Tang Dynasty had nothing to do with him. This was considered as hiding his strength and maintaining a low-key life in Chang'an, living in his seventies and a good death.

Mei Zhiyan's eldest son, second son died young, and his third son Mei Xiaolang inherited his title, but he was not the King of Southern Lu but the Marquis of Southern Lu. Because Mei Zhiyan wrote to the emperor Li Zhi at that time again and again before his death, the memorial read: "The Tang Dynasty has opened thousands of miles and has been a great achievement for the eternal generation. The Mei family is dull and has no inch of contribution to the country. Mu Tianen has been able to enjoy the salary of the Qing Dynasty for decades, and is deeply ashamed. ... I am afraid that the descendants will be poor and unacceptable, and I will be betray the emperor's kindness, so I ask for a viscount behind me."

The King of Southern Lu should have inherited the title of fifth generation. Why did Mei Zhiyan write a letter to a letter to cut off his son's title before he died? The reason is complicated. First of all, his throne was obtained by special historical reasons, and the Mei family did not make such a great contribution. Secondly, he was not a brute force warrior. He once read more history books. Since ancient times, he founded a country with different surnames and named kings. In the future, most of them declined and suffered a good ending. Doing this was also a way to avoid disaster. The emperor read the memorial and praised it as usual, and gave a lot of gold and silk items. However, after Mei Zhiyan's repeated requests, he still approved it, so Mei Xiaolang became the Marquis of Southern Lu.

The first wife Mei Xiaolang married when she became an adult, named Liu, with the nickname Qiaoniang, and was the baby marriage that his father Mei Zhiyan had appointed for him since he was a child. Speaking of this baby marriage, it had a great origin. The wealth of the Mei family was related to this. Qiaoniang's father Liu Boshu was the leading gentry in Wuzhou Prefecture, and his family had a wealth of wealth and servants. When Mei Zhiyan opened the pole and started the uprising, Liu Boshu accumulated three grains, hundreds of good horses, and dozens of generals helped him.

At that time, Mei Zhiyan asked: "Mr. Liu, I have an unexpected disaster. Are you helping me so much, aren't you afraid of being exhausted by failure?"

Liu Boshu smiled and said, "The world is in chaos nowadays, and the villagers should also raise troops to protect themselves from robbery. Who should I help you if I don't help you? And I think you are a person with both blessings and wisdom. If you have great wealth and honor, don't forget each other in the past... If I have a daughter in the future, I would like to marry in-laws, then these will be considered dowry."

Before his daughter-in-law could pass the family, she got a dowry and became the capital for the uprising. Later, Mei Zhiyan did not win the world, but she also gained peace and wealth. He lived up to his previous appointment to let his son Mei Xiaolang marry Liu Qiaoniang. When he got married, Qiaoniang had another dowry, and its richness was astonishing, including nine mountains and one lake.

The so-called Jiushan is a Jiulian Mountain Range in Wuzhou, including Jingting, Feijin, Baimang, Liuling, Miaomen, Qiyun, Chengshu, Dharma pillar, and the nine peaks of the square. These nine mountains are all from the Liu family! A lake refers to the Baili Yanbo Qingyi Lake. How big is this lake? The three mountains of Chengshu, Dharma pillar, and Fangzheng in the nine mountains are all in the lake. The finished characters are connected into a huge island in the lake. The size of the lake can be imagined. This big lake is also the industry of the Liu family.

The ancients bought industries, focusing on fields and houses, but Liu Boshu's vision was different from ordinary people. He bought such a large area of ​​wild mountain lakes. Compared with fields and houses, these industries were not affected by war. It is located in the plains of Jiangnan. The mountains are not high and majestic, and thieves cannot hide in the village. However, the fishing, hunting, medicine, fruit and other products in the mountain lake are very rich, so they don't need to be deliberately managed and cultivated. They naturally have them when they want to use them. It is really a long-term foundation for food and profit.

Mei Zhiyan also said at the time: "In-law, the accompanying daughter who is married is too heavy and the child cannot afford it."

Liu Boshu smiled again and said, "It has been difficult for me to be an official in the court since ancient times. I can't let my son-in-law be a free prince like you for the rest of my life, right? I have the family and it is easy to do things in the court, and I will not be at a loss when there is change. If you think it is expensive, the industry will be passed on to the grandson born to my little daughter in the future. I only have one son and one daughter, and my son has his own family business. As for these nine mountains and lakes, it is not in the hands of outsiders."

After Liu Qiaoniang passed by, the couple was very loving. Mrs. Liu was gentle and virtuous, and was respected by the whole family of the Hefu. In the first year of Yongzhang in the Tang Dynasty (668 AD), she gave birth to a son named Mei Zhenyi and nicknamed Tenger. She took the ancient saying "A new bath must play the crown, and a new bath must be vibrated." I hope this is the beginning of Mei Zhenyi's success. Unfortunately, not long after her son was born, she found that Mei Zhenyi could not even speak, and was a complete idiot!

To put it as an idiot, Mei Zhenyi is not as good as an idiot. An idiot can at least walk and eat, and when it is cold, hot, hungry, and pain, and even humming. This kid can hardly cry or make a fuss. He is indifferent to the stimulation around him. The only thing he can do is to take a few bites subconsciously when the wet nurse puts her * in his mouth. With such medical conditions, it is almost impossible for such children to support. Mei Zhenyi can survive until now, thanks to one person, that is, the famous miracle doctor Sun Simiao.

At that time, the Mei family also found that the son was wrong and invited many doctors to the door. No one could tell why. The couple was extremely anxious and had no choice but to do anything. At this time, Sun Simiao passed by Chang'an to visit. At that time, Sun Simiao was already over 100 years old and had already become famous all over the world. He was a miracle doctor who could not even invite him. He came to congratulate him when he heard the news. Sun Simiao and Qiaoniang's father Liu Boshu were old friends. He was warmly entertained and helped by Liu Boshu when collecting herbs and refining elixirs in Jiangnan.

The miraculous doctor came to Mei Mansion in Chang'an, but found that Liu Boshu's precious grandson was actually a fool. Of course, he had to treat him. He had never encountered such a strange disease before. After a long time of diagnosis, he spoke three words - abscess.

What kind of disease is this abstinence disease? I am afraid that I have not figured out in modern times. Vegetatives are not very similar! Congenital dysfunction of brain development? I can't explain it clearly! Anyway, I'm even more idiotic than an idiot. Qiao Niang knelt down to Sun Simiao with tears in her eyes and asked if the child was saved. Sun Simiao carefully took his pulse and looked at Mei Zhenyi's palm, and pondered: "I'm not sure to cure him, but this child is full of vitality and his body should not have congenital defects. It's just that he is suffering from abstinence disease and it is not easy to raise it. If he is born in a poor family, he may have no physiology. There is still a glimmer of hope in your house... Maintain your vitality first and let me think of a solution later."

Sun Simiao could not cure Mei Zhenyi's disease even if he used all the medicine. However, he taught the Mei family a complete method, which is how to carefully raise the child and not let him die. This method is similar to the current care for patients who are in bed and coma, but it is much more complicated and meticulous. It includes daily massage and massage, several people take turns to hold him in various postures to prevent muscle atrophy and insufficiency of internal organs, as well as bathing medicine, how to configure nutritious liquid food all year round, how to feed him, etc.

Nearly twenty people in the Mei Mansion were dedicated to serving this idiot marquis. The child finally survived, but his illness did not improve. Three years later, Sun Simiao came to Chang'an again, but after some treatment, he still failed. The old man sighed and left. Liu Qiaoniang was weak after giving birth, and was worried about her weak son, and she died young. Qiaoniang held her husband's hand at the time of death and said, "After I leave, I have no other wish, but my son is pitiful. No matter what, you have to take good care of him. Even if he can't wake up in his whole life, you have to support him to do his best. I will marry the Mei family's property in Wuzhou. It will be his in the future. You have to send a caring person to help him protect it, and he will not take care of himself."

At that time, Mei Zhiyan and Liu Boshu had already passed away. Mei Xiaolang was attacked by the Marquis of Southern Lu. His temperament was different from his father and he did not want to be just a casual marquis. He was arrogant and always wanted to show his ambitions in the court. With his wealth, he made friends with many friends in the court. He became Pei Yan, the chief minister of the current dynasty. Later, Xu Xian married Yu'e, the young daughter of the Pei family. Now Mei Xiaolang is also in charge of the prime minister and is related to the Pei family and a group of cliques in the court.

Pei's jade elephant is beautiful and wise, and is deeply loved by Mei Xiaolang. However, this woman is quite scheming and relies on her mother's power. She is very domineering in the mansion. No servants in the Hefu are afraid of her. The family spends a huge amount of money every year to support an idiot marquis. Pei always feels uncomfortable and blows a lot of pillow wind in Mei Xiaolang's ears. The general idea is that the grand Mei Prime Minister's Mansion has such a young master, which has become a laughing stock in Chang'an City. Mei Xiaolang can follow her in other things, but even if she treats her ex-wife and her son, everything will be the same, and the servants can't take care of her at all.

When Mei Zhenyi was over five years old, Pei also gave birth to a son, named Mei Zhenting. He became more and more arrogant because of his favor, so he became more disliked. At this time, Sun Simiao sent a letter from Taibai Mountain, saying that Chang'an City is a complex place of popularity, which is not conducive to the rest of a fool. It is better to place Mei Zhenyi in a beautiful place with beautiful mountains and rivers, which may help to open your mind and bring you back your youth.

With this letter from the miracle doctor, Pei had a fight with her husband and had to send Mei Zhenyi out of Chang'an. Maybe it was because she was upset when she heard the pillow style too much, or maybe she was worried that Pei might not be good for Mei Zhenyi when she was not at home, Mei Xiaolang finally decided to send her son back to her hometown in Wuzhou. More than a dozen servants who had been taking care of Mei Zhenyi also followed her back. Before leaving, Mei Xiaolang said clearly: "As long as my son is still there, you will have a generous reward every year. If my son is gone, you can go to the Mei family by yourself."

In this way, Mei Zhenyi was sent to Wuzhou City, Jiangnan, and lived in Jingwu Mountain Villa on the banks of the Jushui River in the northern suburbs. The villa manager was Zhang Guo, a family member who was dowed by Liu, who was responsible for guarding the Mei family's property in Wuzhou and taking care of all the affairs of the young marquis. Mei Zhenyi lived in Wuzhou, but Sun Simiao did not forget this. The old genius doctor practiced medicine throughout his life to save countless people. He was favored by the Liu family but could not cure Mei Zhenyi's disease, which was a regret in his life.
