Chapter 4 Yu Hua’s visit
The next day, Gu Wen caught a cold.
My head is dizzy and my nose is runny. I guess I drank too much yesterday, plus I poured water into my head and it was strange that I didn't catch a cold when the cold wind blew.
Fortunately, Gu Wen's family was extremely wealthy and he had no shortage of money to hire a doctor to see a doctor. As he lay on the bed, his servants called a famous doctor in the city and listened to the white-haired old Chinese doctor speaking professional terms that he did not understand. , and then exited the room respectfully.
The conversation between the doctor and his servants could be heard outside the house. They were probably talking about some precautions and how to prepare medicine.
Gu Wen doesn't need to pay attention to these things, otherwise why would he be raising servants like them?
"This is wealth."
Gu Wen sighed in a low voice. The ceiling was covered by exquisite silk bed curtains, and the drizzle was still falling outside the window, which made people feel sleepy.
Having nothing makes a person fearless, and vice versa makes one afraid of hands and feet.
The various household wealth under his hands is not more than 20,000 taels of silver, but only 18,000 taels of silver. The average annual income of Dagan people is only seven taels of silver. With 10 taels of silver, they are already well-off families. The rural landowners and gentry only spend about a hundred taels of silver. , this is already a family that has raised people.
Many landowners still need to work in the fields, and those who do not need to work in agriculture have already entered the scholar class.
What can you do with 20,000 taels? It can allow you to live a life of debauchery. It can allow you to buy a handsome young man as a concubine every year. You can buy one with a few hundred taels of silver for decades without even spending a tenth of it. This is Bianjing. The price will only be lower if you go outside.
But you can also become a prisoner, and any eighth-grade official can eat you up and wipe you clean.
It can be said that he is inferior in everything. He can only be considered a half-person if he is well-educated and has fame.
Why not one?
Because even if you become a prince, you are just a dog of the Zhao family, and the royal family members are the real power holders of Daqian. If you are born from the mother's womb but fall into the golden basin, then it is impossible for you to have it in this life.
In the past, I don't know how many number one scholars would rather be the prince consort, and I don't know how many prodigies would rather be the number one scholar.
In this world, the only way to become an immortal is through cultivation!
A fiery thought flashed through Gu Wen's mind, and he clenched his fists even though his body was weak due to the cold.
There is actually only one way before him now. If he does not want to become a piece of meat on the chopping block in the future, he must seize this so-called opportunity to become an immortal, and he must seize the golden light in his mind.
[Fate of the Red Dust Immortal]
【Ten years of Tianmui, no emperor's pulp yet】
From what the Immortal Master, Zhao Feng, has seen and heard in Bianjing City recently, we can know that Daqian is in a period similar to the revival of spiritual energy.
What is destiny?
If immortality is a treasure left by predecessors, then destiny should be the upper limit of what I can achieve. The message conveyed by his destiny is to know the destiny and achieve immortality, but the prerequisite is to gather "the essence of heaven for ten thousand years, The emperor’s pulp lasts for thousands of years.”
The Imperial Essence is unknown, but the Heavenly Essence should be the elixir given by the fairy. One pill lasts for ten years. He needs a thousand similar elixirs.
In other words, you cannot become an immortal by lying down.
Now he has a stepping stone, but he is still just an ordinary person, at least he does not have much power to seize opportunities.
"I still need to stay in the palace, stay with Zhao Feng, stay with that immortal family. I still need to please them, I still need to be humble."
Gu Wen pursed his lips, then closed his eyes and let the pride brought by his destiny to become an immortal sink into his heart. It was the only pride he had in the past four years.
He will be proud of the heights he may reach in the future, but he also knows clearly that he is not an immortal yet, at least for now he is still a domestic slave. He also does not mind continuing to be humble and pretending to be harmless.
As long as this humility can give him enough rewards in the future, everything will be worth it.
Nowadays, Gu Wenke comforted himself by saying, "God is going to entrust this person with a great responsibility, and he must first work hard on his determination." He silently recited it several times in his heart to hold down his restless heart.
He knew that at this time, he should be calm and not make any mistakes.
As he thought about it, Gu Wen couldn't help but laugh and said: "I am so lucky that I don't know how to be blessed. I only know a few poems and some market management experience, but I haven't learned any other necessary knowledge for time travel."
He is a liberal arts student, but he has never copied poetry to gain fame and fortune since he time traveled, because he was afraid that the three-legged cat's kung fu would be discovered and cause trouble. There is a lot of literature in ancient times, and it is not enough to know a few lines of poetry. And literati are very competitive, so today he took out
A "Shui Tiao Ge Tou", someone will come to arrest him tomorrow.
If you belong to a wealthy family, you are a talented person in the world. If you are a lowly domestic slave, you are stealing documents and masters.
Gu Wen could understand how a person without any literary foundation could suddenly compose shocking poetry? But this did not mean that Gu Wen would put aside what he had learned in his previous life, at least leaving it to his own entertainment.
------------------
On the Dragon Bridge, a group of armored sergeants came to clear the way, followed by a carriage with two white horses, decorated with carved dragons and phoenixes, gold ornaments, silver embroidery and green embroidery.
I don’t know how many informants were attracted along the way, but the most eye-catching one was naturally the woman in Taoist robes riding a donkey.
Fairy Yu Hua frowned and looked at the guard of honor. She knew that the emperors in the world were used to extravagance, but appearing like this would be too much of a show. Not only was it not in line with her pure nature, but it might also cause unnecessary trouble.
"Fairy Yu Hua, in front of you is Gu Wen's mansion. It has ten acres of land and more than a hundred servants. It costs more than ten thousand taels every year. It can be said that you enjoy all the glory and wealth."
Zhao Feng poked his head out of the carriage and once again emphasized Gu Wen's wealth and the legitimacy of his opportunity.
Fairy Yu Hua didn't respond. She didn't want to have too much contact with the sect's internal gangsters. This was beyond her control. It was hard to change what the powerful said.
Paying out of her own pocket to compensate the young man named Gu was the limit of what she could do.
After walking for more than a thousand steps, the tall buildings on both sides of the Dragon Bridge disappeared and were replaced by rows of residential houses, orderly and crowded.
He stopped in front of a high-rise single-family house. There were two stone lions covered by linen at the door. They were covered because Gu Wen had no official title.
The power struggle in Daqian was fierce, and the court was filled with swords and swords every day. Many former dignitaries and officials died and were exiled, so many houses were left vacant.
Fairy Yu Hua looked around and saw that it was indeed a wealthy family, but there was some turbidity in the air and her thoughts were restless.
Da da da.
The donkey tramped along the street corner and stopped in the alley next to the mansion. There were messy daily necessities and a trembling beggar in the corner.
They tried their best to cover their bodies with objects and clothes. Some people in the distance ran away and turned into the alley. A wooden top rolled in front of Fairy Yu Hua. The child in the corner wanted to pick it up, but was tightly covered by his mother. Under his unkempt face, His eyes were trembling.
Fairy Yu Hua saw the wealth of the descendants of Gu, but beneath his wealth was poverty, and between the high walls were the common people.
There are also big houses around, but here are the only places where countless poor people gather, and the only thing here is that the air is polluted.
