After the emperor is reborn, he just wants to be a salted fish

Yu Wenjin... No, it's the current Cheng Jin.On the day he returned to the south of the Yangtze River, it was raining heavily. He didn't have an umbrella, and he was holding a big white duck in his arms. He walked in the rain with his head down, leaning forward slightly, and covering the head of the big white duck with his palm. Trying to keep some rain out.

He looks like a fool at first glance.

The heavy rain was pouring down, there was no one on the street, most of the houses on both sides were closed, and there were not many people around.Occasionally, there were a few people who opened the door and could see people, but they didn't go forward to give Cheng Jin an umbrella, or told him to stay and wait for the rain to stop.

They just pointed at Cheng Jin who was walking forward in the rain, and commented, "Who is that? Why are you still walking in the rain under such heavy rain?"

"That person is a bit blind? Sheng, I haven't seen it before. He is drenched in such a heavy rain regardless of his care. Where did he come from a fool?"

"Look at him holding a duck in his arms, he must be a fool!"

"..."

The rain was so heavy that Cheng Jin could only hear the sound of the heavy rain falling to the ground.Out of the corner of his eye, he can occasionally see those people pointing at him and saying something, but he is not stupid. Although he can't see their faces clearly, it doesn't look like they are pointing at him. good words.

But he didn't know them, or maybe he remembered them once, but now he didn't remember them at all? He didn't care who they were.

Not long ago, after he woke up by a river, he didn't remember anything. At that time, he had only a big white duck and nothing else.

But for some reason, there seemed to be a strong idea in his mind guiding his direction? Following that idea, he walked all the way back to this Jiangnan city.

It's a pity that today? The weather is not so beautiful. After finally coming here, what greeted him was like this - a heavy rain, under the strong rain, it seemed to wash away everything here -?

About his past, he—?doesn't remember at all?.

As for his name, he was told by the owner of a hut that he passed after he walked along the alley run by the Jiangnan River for nearly half an hour in the heavy rain.

That person was an old woman, holding an umbrella and standing at the gate of the yard. She didn't know what to look out for. When she saw him passing by, she was stunned for a while. After walking a few steps, she realized that she called out his name:

Cheng Jin.

When he heard the name, he stopped in his tracks and turned around with some doubts: "Are you calling me?"

When the old lady saw his face clearly, she immediately smiled: "Cheng Jin, it's really you, you came back alive!"

"?"

At that time, Cheng Jin didn't quite understand what she meant.

But the old woman let him in.

Seeing that he didn't seem to remember the past, the old woman was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he was walking in the rain for such a big man, it was more or less abnormal, maybe it hurt her brain.

Then the old woman told him that his name was Cheng Jin, and he lived in a yard next to two houses. He used to live with his mother, but almost six years ago, his mother disappeared. He went to look for her, and it took several years. No one knew where they went, and the yard naturally fell into disrepair.

Some people said before that their mother and son must be dead, otherwise how could they not come back for several years, but they didn't expect Cheng Jin to come back at this time.

The old woman asked him, "Cheng Jin, where is your mother? Have you found your mother?"

But after asking, the old woman realized that something was wrong. Cheng Jin didn't even remember what happened before. How could he still remember what happened to his mother?

The old woman smiled, and said again: "Well, after the rain stops, I will ask my son to help you clean up—? Go down to your yard, don't you remember? It doesn't matter, remember it well in the future? Your own Things are good. No matter what, it is good for people to live, and they can still live a good life."

Cheng Jin pursed his lower lip. He didn't remember anything, and he didn't know what to say. After being silent for a while, he said, "Thank you."

The heavy rain stopped in the evening, and the old woman's son came back soon. After the old woman explained a few words, her son took Cheng Jin to his yard to check the situation.

The yard was in a mess under the heavy rain, and it was very troublesome to clean it up, wasn't it -? One day? Two days? It could be completely tidied up.

In those few days, Cheng Jin lived at the old woman's house. Her son was a nice person. Although Cheng Jin didn't remember anything and looked a little silly, he didn't speak ill of him.

When the weather cleared, he helped clean up Cheng Jin's yard.The furniture inside was bought for him by the old woman's son. Although it was not expensive, Cheng Jin was very grateful.

He said: "In the future—? I will definitely return it to you."

The old woman's son smiled and said, "Ham, those are not valuable things, so you don't have to pay them back. You can help take care of my old mother when I'm not at home? Yes, I'll give you some money every month."

Then Cheng Jin learned that the old woman's son was going to work hard in Kyoto with his friend, and it might take a long time to come back.Cheng Jin appeared at this time? He was actually very happy.He was really worried about the old mother - she was at home.

After the old woman's son left, Cheng Jin assumed the responsibility of taking care of the old woman. Although he didn't live in -?, he would visit her every day.

Besides, he found a job himself.

Although I don't remember "the past", my body's muscle memory is still there.He knew how to play the piano, so he went to a brothel not too far from home when he was recruiting a luthier. There, a dancing girl fell in love with him, so she talked to the steward? His mother, and left him behind. up.

——At the beginning, he only knew a few pieces of music, and then he learned more in the brothel. These pieces of music became more proficient.Coupled with his gentle personality and good looks, he is very popular among the girls in the brothel.

However, he didn't mean much to them.

What he does every day in the brothel is to accompany the girls to play the piano when they dance, and occasionally play alone, but not many times.He still has to go back to take care of the old woman and the big white duck at home, and he can't——stay in the brothel all day.

The girl named "Miao Miao" in the brothel liked Cheng Jin the most, the kind that came from the bottom of her heart.But she never told Cheng Jinming explicitly, she just used the name of a friend more than once to go to Cheng Jin, bring him gifts, and cook delicious food for him.

—? At first, Cheng Jin didn't accept it, and he didn't want her to come to his house frequently.

At that time, Miaomiao said coquettishly: "Cheng Jin, what do you mean, you don't accept such a small thing? Fortunately, I also helped you get such an easy job as a luthier! I just came to see a friend, Wouldn't that work too?"

How many times later? After he got acquainted with Miao Miao, he no longer refused her to come to his house?

He thought, anyway, it is a friend, and it is reasonable for a friend to come to the house as a guest.

But anyone with a discerning eye can tell that Miaomiao likes Cheng Jin, even the old woman can tell.

Once—? Time, during dinner, the old woman asked him with a smile: "Cheng Jin, you are not too young, just? Have you ever thought about finding—? Someone to accompany you? I think that girl Miaomiao is... That's right, even though you are in a brothel, you are selling your art but not your body, and you two are acquainted, if you are together, wouldn't it be more intimate?"

Cheng Jin replied with a smile: "Grandma, what are you talking about, Miss Miaomiao is a friend."

It can only be friends.

He is very clear in his heart, even if he doesn't remember "the past", but he knows that someone has already lived in the place in his heart.

Dreaming back at midnight, he had dreamed of that person many times.It's just that in every -? dream, he can only vaguely see -? a figure and outline, and can't see the specific face clearly.

Every time he dreamed of that person, every deep night, he woke up with tears.

He was sure that that person meant a lot to him.Unfortunately, he couldn't remember that person's name, and he couldn't see his face in his dream.

This feeling is a bit uncomfortable, like? It seems that I have forgotten some very important people, and there are many? Many? Important things?.But, no matter how hard he tried to recall, he just couldn't remember.

In the following years, Cheng Jin, who had no memory of the past, had been "diligently" taking care of the old woman. The money he earned was - half saved, and the other - half used for daily expenses.

When he has saved enough money, he will go outside to have a look.He wanted to find the person who only appeared in his dreams.

In those few years, I lived a stable life with a little comfort. As a small commoner, it couldn't be better.It's just that when I come down occasionally and look at the sky above my head and feel the oncoming wind, I feel that something is missing.

He always feels that those people and things he has forgotten are very important.

It's a pity that it's been a long time, and I can't recall it.

In the summer of Cheng Jin's fifth year in the south of the Yangtze River, the old lady received a letter from her son in Kyoto, saying that she had found a good job, bought a small yard, and met a nice girl who made her happy. Cheng Jin helped to send her to the capital, and her family will live in the capital from now on.

Cheng Jin thought that he wanted to go and see around anyway, so he should send his mother-in-law to the capital first, and then go find the person who has appeared in his dreams for five consecutive years.

Kyoto is so big, people come and go, maybe, if he is lucky, he can find that person in Kyoto.

Before departure -? Days?, Miaomiao packed her bags and came to find Cheng Jin. She said that she wanted to go to Kyoto with them.

Cheng Jin was a little surprised.

Miaomiao put her hands on her hips and said, "Why are you looking at me with that kind of eyes? I have saved more money than you? Much more! Take me with you. I will not only help you take care of my mother-in-law on the way, but also let us eat. If you live in a better place, if you live in a better place, you won’t suffer~”

Cheng Jin smiled: "Then what are you going to do in Kyoto?"

"I dance," Miao Miao's expression was a little proud: "I dance so well, and I can also play the flute. Then I will definitely find a good place in Kyoto. And I still have you, you will Playing the piano, when the time comes we——together, maybe we can make money together as we do now!”

Cheng Jin did not refuse.

The world is so big, she can go wherever she wants.He has no right to stop her and block her way.

The journey from Jiangnan City to the capital, Cheng Jin and Miaomiao, with an old lady, took more time than expected?Originally, Cheng Jin thought that it should be possible to arrive in half a month, but it took -? months to arrive in Kyoto after stopping and stopping on the road.

The city of Kyoto is bustling, and the streets and alleys are full of people of all colors, dressed gorgeously, and their clothes are not the same.

—? Looking at the clothes of the three of them, you can tell that they are not natives of Kyoto.

Miaomiao eyes full of surprises: "I didn't expect Kyoto to be so prosperous. If I knew we would have come earlier! There must be a lot here? Delicious and fun!!"

Standing on the street with a big white duck in his arms, Cheng Jin glanced at those places calmly. For some reason, there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

It seems...been here before.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way! The Marquis of Jing'an is returning to the capital, and everyone on the road retreats to both sides, be careful!!" A guard riding a horse came over and shouted.

People who had been standing on the street retreated to both sides, and Cheng Jin and Miao Miao quickly helped the old lady to the side.

There were quite a few onlookers on both sides of the street, all of them looked happy, as if this upcoming Lord Hou was a very popular character in Kyoto.

Cheng Jin unconsciously looked over there.

In the distance, someone came on horseback, followed by a mighty team.The man riding the horse in the front was dressed in black clothes, with a dignified face, and held a red-tasseled silver gun in his hand. Even though he was a little distance away, he could still feel the cold aura emanating from him.

Cheng Jin in the crowd stared at him blankly.

The memory picture scroll in my mind is like a white paper, as if suddenly a ball of ink was spilled on it.The ink stained the white scroll, and the black traces quickly faded away.

On the originally empty picture scroll, some traces are slowly revealed.

The big white duck in his arms seemed to be stimulated by something, and suddenly flapped its wings and jumped out.It flapped its wings and flew in the direction? It was heading towards the well-known Marquis of Jing'an in Kyoto.

Cheng Jin opened his eyes wide and squeezed a few steps forward: "Xiao Jiu, come back!"

He yelled.

In this crowded place, his voice is not too loud.But there is always someone who can hear his voice.

When Xiao Jiu flew towards Xuanyuanzheng, Xuanyuanzheng subconsciously wanted to open it.

But almost at the same time as he stretched out his hand, someone in the crowd shouted "Xiao Jiu", he was stunned for a moment, and the movements of his hands suddenly stopped.

The big white duck flapping its wings immediately landed on his horse.

Cheng Jin squeezed out of the crowd, with a nervous expression on his face: "Sorry, that's my duck, didn't it pounce on it on purpose? Yours, can you give it back to me?"

Xuanyuanzheng looked down and stared at Dabai Ya with some surprise eyes. When he saw Cheng Jin, he was momentarily stunned.

His eyes that were originally cold were now full of shock.The fundus of his eyes clearly reflected the face of the man under the horse.

There was a slight flicker in his eyes, and his dull eyes——lighted up in an instant.

"His Majesty?!"
