Chapter 1 The Concubine Who Goes Out of Home
Some people saw the beauty after traveling through time, some people saw the gods at the first sight, and some people were lucky. After traveling through time, they saw the beautiful goddess at the first sight, and Li Xiu also traveled through time, but unfortunately, he saw a half-person-high tombstone at the first sight, and he held the tombstone in his arms in a very ambiguous posture. If someone saw him here, he would definitely doubt that he had a friendship with the tombstone beyond species.
At dawn in the morning, the light was still a little dim. Around it was a bamboo forest that was rustled by the cold autumn wind. In the open space in the middle was a lonely grave, while Li Xiu sat in front of the grave with his tombstone. Apart from the horror, this scene really made people unable to remember any other suitable adjectives.
However, there was no expression of fear on Li Xiu's face. He stood up and moved his frozen body for a moment, tidied up his robe, and then bowed to the tombstone in front of him and said, "Thank you for your fulfillment. I hope you can tie the knot underground and never suffer the pain of lovesickness again!"
When Li Xiu just recovered his consciousness, he already knew that he had traveled through time, because in addition to his own memory, there was another person's memory in his mind. This person was also named Li Xiu, but he was from the Tang Dynasty more than a thousand years ago. He was also a famous general in the early Tang Dynasty and the son of Li Jing, who was known as the God of the Tang army. However, Li Xiu was not Li Jing's legitimate son, but was born to his concubine, and he was not very valued at home.
Li Xiu was dull and liked to read. He could be said to be a complete nerd. In addition, he was not a legitimate son, so he was very inconspicuous in the Li Mansion. However, more than a year ago, Li Xiu did something that alarmed the entire Tang Dynasty. Once when he was out for a trip, he actually met a beautiful woman. As a result, the two fell in love at first sight and fell in love with each other.
Originally, the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was relatively open, and it was not shameful to fall in love between men and women. However, the woman Li Xiu liked was a special identity because the other party was actually a beautiful little nun. If it was an ordinary family, it would be fine. As long as the other party was returned to secular life, they could get married. However, Li Jing was a general of the court. No matter how unpopular Li Xiu was, he would not be able to marry a nun, otherwise the face of the Li family would be greatly lost.
So when Li Jing learned about Li Xiu and the little nun, he immediately became furious. Not only did he lock Li Xiu at home and prohibited him from going out, but he also booked a marriage for Li Xiu as quickly as possible. Finally, he sent someone to the temple where the little nun was located to scold the other party. As a result, the little nun was already weak and worried about Li Xiu. He suffered from lovesickness in grievances, and died a few months later.
Li Xiu was imprisoned in the mansion by his father. It was not until three days after the little nun passed away that he accidentally learned about this incident. He vomited blood and fell into a coma on the spot. After waking up, he was even more angry for the beauty. He had never dared to speak loudly at home, but he actually had a big fight with his father to break out of the Li Mansion. This incident attracted everyone in the Tang Dynasty. For a time, there was a lot of discussion on the streets and alleys. Li Jing, who was furious, also said that he would never recognize Li Xiu's son again, and he was considered to have cut off the father-son relationship with Li Xiu.
After Li Xiu left home, he lived in a small manor beside Huangqu in the south of the city, and moved the tomb of the little nun to the next to the manor. This manor was bought by his mother who died early with all her private money to serve as a way out for Li Xiu, because this visionary woman knew that although the struggles in the wealthy mansion were not as good as the royal family, they were also very cruel. Her son was an honest man and never liked to fight with others. He would inevitably suffer losses in the future. With such a small manor, Li Xiu had a way out for no reason, but she didn't expect that Li Xiu had to live on this manor just a few years after she passed away.
Thinking of the last Li Xiu's encounter, Li Xiu couldn't help but sigh. Since moving here, Li Xiu has been guarding his lover's grave every day. He was a nerd, a little crazy, and had deep affection for the little nun. Now he is separated by yin and yang, and suffers from lovesickness and guilt. As a result, his health has collapsed after a year. In addition, it is late autumn and the night is very cold. Last night, Li Xiu finally died in front of his lover's grave, which is why Li Xiu is now.
"In the future, Qingming Festival, Shangyuan Festival, Li will definitely burn more paper money for the two of you!" Li Xiu said as he bowed to the tombstone again, and then turned around and left. The original Li Xiu was dead, but now he still has to live. After experiencing a life and death, he realized the value of life more, so he cherished this opportunity for rebirth.
In his previous life, Li Xiu was just an ordinary man, an ordinary man who was busy with fame and fortune. In order to get the appreciation of his superiors and get the opportunity to get a promotion and salary increase, he went out early and came back late every day, and really got up earlier than a chicken and went to bed later than a dog. He was still very lucky. At least his efforts were rewarded accordingly, and he gradually got from the bottom of the company to the top of the company, becoming the envy of the people around him.
Just when Li Xiu was in full bloom, his wife filed for divorce to him. Because he had been married for nearly ten years, Li Xiu was busy with work every day and had no intention of caring about his wife. For the sake of work, the two of them didn't even want children. Li Xiu's wife was tired of such a life, and her deep feelings for Li Xiu had been exhausted, so she filed for divorce.
Li Xiu experienced anger, confusion, confusion, etc. about his wife's request for divorce, and finally chose to let go in pain. After the divorce, he chose to work even more crazily in order to anesthetize himself. As a result, one night he worked overtime and finally died suddenly in his office. At that time, Li Xiu thought his life was over, but he didn't expect that when he woke up again, he came to the early Tang Dynasty more than a thousand years ago.
"Huh~, it's the fifth year of Wude. The Tang Dynasty has just established its country. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, most of the princes were pacified, and the rest cannot be achieved. Li Yuan is becoming the emperor, Li Shimin is helping his father fight against foreign countries and stabilize the country, Li Jiancheng is still his crown prince, and the Xuanwu Gate Incident will have to wait for a few more years. Next is the famous Zhenguan rule. Wu Meiniang doesn't know if he was born?" Li Xiu said to himself as he walked.
He knew the direction of history better than anyone else, but he did not intend to intervene. He was too busy in his previous life, and lived in the eyes of others all his life, and felt very tired from the heart to the body. This time he finally had a chance to be reborn, so he decided to live for himself, do some things he liked to do, raise flowers, fish, lie down when he is tired, sleep when he is sleepy, and make up for everything he owed in his previous life. This is the life he wants.
"I decided that I have traveled more than a thousand years ago to enjoy my life. Let everyone who works hard to die!" Li Xiu said to himself with a relaxed look on his face.
While he was talking, he walked out of the bamboo forest and saw a big river flowing through his face. This river was the yellow canal led from Zhongnan Mountain. After walking downstream for more than ten miles, it was Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty. Finally, the yellow canal flowed into one of the most famous attractions in Chang'an, which is the famous Qujiang Pond. There are many literati and poets there who like to put their wine glasses into the water and play a game called "Qushui Liushang". In other words, if Li Xiu urinated in the river, then people downstream might drink the river water mixed with his urine when drinking.
Walking downstream along the yellow canal for a few dozen meters, a small river led out of the yellow canal will appear. On this side of the river is the yard where Li Xiu lives, and on the other side of the river is a small village with only five households. All of these five families are tenants from Li Xiu's family. They rely on renting dozens of acres of land under Li Xiu's name to make a living. This is also Li Xiu's only source of income before his death.
The sun had just revealed a thread. Tenants were already working in the fields. A group of torn-dressed children were playing by the river. Even though it was late autumn, most of these children were only wearing big and torn single clothes. They could tell at a glance that they were modified from adults' clothes. Many children even stepped on the ground barefoot with barefoot on the ground covered with white frost. Their feet were frozen and their hair was blue, and their dirty little faces were dragging two snots. However, these children didn't care at all, and they ran with their companions and sweated heavily.
Li Xiu even saw a child about six or seven years old holding a black piece of steamed bun in his hand, running and gnawing while running, but accidentally fell to the ground. The steamed bun in his hand fell to the ground, and a native dog next to him pounced on him and held it in his mouth. Before he could swallow it, the child actually pounced on the dog like a hungry wolf, and took out the steamed bun from the dog's mouth, then kicked the skinny and boned native dog away, and began to enjoy his trophy like a winner.
Seeing the scene on the other side, Li Xiu suddenly felt like something was blocked in his heart. The child eating steamed buns was big and small, looking like an African refugee in his later generations. He was obviously just a steamed bun that was snatched from a dog's mouth, but when he looked at the food, he seemed to be tasting the most delicious food in the world. Even when other children around him looked at the steamed buns in his hands, they even showed a jealous look.
Li Xiu did not expect that the Tang Dynasty, which was known as the prosperous era, would have been like this. However, it is not surprising to think about it. It is only five years of martial arts, and the Tang Dynasty has just been established. The chaotic times at the end of the Sui Dynasty have not yet ended. The people of Guanzhong have just settled down. It is not easy to have a full meal, so they don’t care much about anything else.
I returned to my residence with a bit of heavy and complicated mood. In fact, it was a simple small yard with three main rooms and left and right wing rooms. The yard was surrounded by a half-person-high wall. There were some flowers and plants planted in the yard, but unfortunately it was late autumn now, and the flowers and plants had withered and withered, leaving only some dead branches and leaves standing in the yard.
Li Xiu rushed into the kitchen as soon as he entered the yard. When he woke up just now, he felt very cold all over. Now he walked around for a while and felt a little heat on his body, but then he felt hungry and thirsty in his stomach, so he rushed into the kitchen to find something to eat.
