Master Shen's Journey Through Time

From the day I woke up, Xiao Yuqing seemed to be living in the Shen Mansion. Every day when I opened my eyes, he would be in my room. Every night, I would go back to the mansion after I drank the last bowl of medicine and fell asleep. Taking care of me, he specially applied to the emperor for an edict that he can move freely after the curfew.

It is said that such a big man takes such meticulous care of me every day. Although I am moved, the most troublesome thing should be my father Ning Guogong, because although Xiao Yuqing is only a lord now, everyone knows that Xiao Yuqing is more expensive than the prince. too much.To talk about Xiao Yuqing, we have to start with this dynasty in this time and space.

This dynasty is roughly equivalent to the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties in my time and space. Its national power is lower than that of the Tang Dynasty but stronger than that of the Song and Ming Dynasties. It has a strong economy, culture, and military affairs.But there is no complete imperial examination system and a unified country.

Since the disintegration of the Chu State 200 years ago, the monarch fled to the south and established the Southern Chu (similar to the Song and Southern Song). The war of the kingdoms began in the north of the Yangtze River until Xiaotian, the founding emperor of the Tianlong Dynasty (that is, the country of Yunshu). Almost unifying the north, the war can be called fierce, as Shen Chu, who has experienced the War of Resistance Against Japan and the War of Liberation, can imagine.

Xiao Tian has three sons, the eldest son Jing Wang Xiao Shan, who is the father of Xiao Yuqing, fought with Xiao Tian all his life, and was loved by the people just like the Qin King Li Shimin; the second son Xiao Chuan is the current Emperor Tianzong; the third son Yi Wang Xiao Hai is a young man of literature and art, living in the days of poetry, song and fu, dancing and writing.

Xiao Yuqing was born in the fiercest days of the war. Even though it was the coldest month of winter when he was born, lotus flowers all over the world bloomed together (because he is a lotus fairy), and not long after, the late emperor Xiao Tian defeated the biggest enemy, the wolf, and he was regarded as a unified nation. In the world, the eminent monk at that time, Master Selfless, firmly insisted that Xiao Yuqing was a god descending from the earth, and the world was auspicious (indeed it was).

Therefore, when he was one year old, he was granted the title of Marquis of Han, and it was clearly stated in the will that Xiao Yuqing was granted the title of King Han when he was sixteen years old, and he enjoyed the same possibility of inheriting the throne as other princes.

And Xiao Yuqing did not live up to the expectations of Xiao Tian and Master Selfless. Since she was a child, she was extremely intelligent. When the late Emperor was around, Xiao Yuqing, who was only three years old, was able to help Xiao Tian deal with state affairs (of course, by giving ideas on the sidelines and the like).

Because the Xiao family is not purely from the Central Plains, it has not inherited the tradition of naming nobles in the Central Plains culture at all. Although it is still used, Xiao Yuqing was named by the selfless master because of his popularity. Of course, Shen Yunshu was named because of his status. It's too low, it's a concubine, not a single name.

Xiao Yuqing, a high-profile marquis, passed away when the late emperor Xiao Tian was seven years old. King Jing Xiao Shan knew that his son was too sharp and would definitely become a target, so he created a scene of Xiao Yuqing's serious illness to persuade him Abandoned the young Xiao Yuqing.

But Xiao Yuqing, in order to protect herself by keeping a low profile, was eager to find a new target to stand in front of her. At this time, she met Shen Yunshu.

The day Yun Shu and Yu Qing met for the first time was when Mrs. Shen, Shen Yunshu's grandmother, passed away, and Yu Qing went to Ningguo Mansion to pay homage.

It rained heavily that day, and Yuqing, who had just finished worshiping, was caught in the rain, and the people in the Shen residence were busy receiving guests and sheltering from the rain. Yuqing, who was standing in the yard for a while, could not find someone to guide her He had no choice but to take his attendant Junzhi and Shutong Mozhi to a low wall. At that time, the wall covered with roses happened to cover the three young people.

The three bored children started to play with the roses on the wall, and found that there was a hollow window on the wall. Through the window, Yuqing saw Yun Shu, who was only five years old at the time, like a fairy, I froze there.

At that time, Yun Shu was deeply saddened by the death of her grandmother who loved her the most (except for Hualin). She thought that without her grandmother, the life of herself and her mother in Ningguo Mansion would be even more difficult. To protect her mother, she hid in the abandoned study room and drew something casually to vent her emotions, but she didn't know that this scene was just watched by Yu Qing outside the window.

Outside the window, Junzhi and Mozhi found that their master was stunned, so they called out to him. They didn't know how to measure properly for a while, and their voices were a bit too loud, which not only woke up Yuqing, but also startled Yun Shu inside the window. Shout "Who's out the window!".

The three masters and servants just took this opportunity to push the door in. After some introductions, Yuqing and Yun Shu began to chat. Unknowingly, the two chatted for nearly two hours until Prince Jing's mansion sent someone to visit (then Shi Yuqing was still under the protection of King Jing) only to realize that the rain outside the house had stopped long ago, it was getting dark, and the two had chatted so late.

Xiao Yuqing, who returned to Prince Jing's mansion, tossed and turned all night, thinking about Shen Yunshu carefully.

In fact, he already knew about the existence of Shen Yunshu. As the son of Ning Guogong, although he was a concubine, he was a child prodigy.

At the age of three, he wrote a poem that surprised all the talented scholars in the capital. Now he is only five years old, but his handwriting is so good that even the prime minister Jian Ning praised him, and he wrote amazing poems for a long time.

Such a person is as much a target of public criticism as I am, and the position of the Shen family in the court is very delicate, and Shen Yunshu's position in the Shen family is also very subtle. Although Shen Tao is the Duke of Ning, the only official in the entire Shen family is Shen Tao Shen Yang, the younger brother of his concubine, is just a third-rank general with no army in his hands; Shen Tao's younger sister, Shen Lan, is Shen's concubine, but because of her arrogance, her status in the harem is not high.

Therefore, Shen Tao now depends on his wife Zhou for everything. Shen Tao's father-in-law is Zhou Sikong, the head of the three princes, his brother-in-law is the current household secretary, Mrs. Zhou's aunt is the queen mother of Zhou, and his cousin is the number one Power minister Qin Guogong, known as Mrs. Huang Taifu.

Therefore, the entire Shen family is attached to the Zhou family, which is one of the Zhou and Huang parties, but Ning Guogong is still young, and he still has some burdens in his heart, and he doesn't want to really rely on his wife.

And King Jing has never been involved in forming cliques, so his relationship with Zhou Huang is not too close, but if he wants to live safely, he must have a good relationship with Zhou Huang, and he can't be too stiff. Shen Yunshu, who is not loved by Mrs. Zhou like this, really It is a good point of contact, neither too close nor too far away, and it can also pull a child prodigy to back him up.

So on the second day, Xiao Yuqing invited Shen Yunshu to a small gathering that she organized three days later, mainly to chat about poetry and articles. Three days later, Shen Yunshu put on what she thought was the best plain dress (because she was still in filial piety) to meet her lifelong friend, Xiao Yuqing's Party of Five.

Because the Ningguo Mansion was having a funeral, it was extremely busy. A lowly master like Shen Yunshu had no one to follow him when he went out, so he finally found an old coachman, who took Yun Shu over in the carriage that the maid usually took when going out.

So when he arrived, those four had already been waiting for a long time, and Xiao Yuqing had already told them her plan.

This time the gathering was held in one of Xiao Yuqing's strongholds, a small uninhabited courtyard of Xia Tang's family. When Yun relaxed the sedan chair, there were servants who had been waiting at the door for a long time to greet them.

After entering the second gate, he was replaced by a well-dressed young man. Seeing that the young man's clothes were made of better materials than he usually wore, Yun Shu felt a little embarrassed.

After walking for nearly a stick of incense, I finally saw a young woman wearing a golden hairpin. She was only five years old, and Yun Shu, who was used to the beauty of Hualin, didn't think much of it. She just sighed in her heart that the owner of this yard must be very rich. Otherwise, even slaves could wear gold and silver.

The woman stretched out her jade hand with two gold bracelets, and held Yun Shu, "Master Shen will go with the servants, and the masters are already waiting in Xiyuan." The little Yun Shu only felt that the fragrance on the woman's body was too strong, and it was smoky. It made him dizzy, and the sound of clanging gold and silver jewelry was right next to his ears.

Dazedly seeing the four people sitting in the small pavilion, Xiao Yuqing got up enthusiastically, and brought Yun Shu to the seat. Sitting in the chairman seat, facing Yun Shu was Xiao Yuqing who had just sat down. Although she was only seven years old, she had good looks. She is no longer a child, and her clothes are more casual than when they met before.

Then Yuqing began to introduce the remaining three people one by one. The person sitting on Yuqing's left is the remnant of the former dynasty, not the Chu Dynasty, but the son of the last emperor of the Kaga Dynasty who occupied Kyoto before, Liu Hee.

After the surrender of the Kaga Dynasty, Liu Xi, who was only one year old at the time, was retained by Xiao Tian as the last blood of the Kaga Dynasty, and was named Yi Guogong to show his benevolence.So this Yi Guogong grew up in this Tianlong Dynasty with family hatred and national hatred. In order to escape, he didn't like living in the imperial mansion in Kyoto since he was a child. Learning to play flute (I don’t know if it’s because he hates the royal Xiao family), and learned swordsmanship from Li Henxin, the number one swordsman. He speaks acrimoniously and is indifferent. If Xia Tang hadn’t been clinging to him, he probably wouldn’t have What is the relationship with Xiao Yuqing? By the way, he usually calls himself Liu Shan, and everyone calls him that. It was only later that he found out that every time he heard others call him Liu Xi, he would think of the family feud of the Xiao family who forced his parents to death. Guo hated him, and felt that he was sorry for the surname Liu.

Sitting on the left hand side of the willow fan, that is, on my right hand side is Xia Tang, the only son of Xia Shang, the richest man today. You can tell from his clothes that although he is only seven years old, he is dressed in gold and silver. Even his hair is braided with countless gold threads and he wears a golden hairpin with dazzling gemstones. He is a natural businessman, easy to make friends, smooth and easy to get along with, but only when he is familiar with him can he know that he is full of happiness. The abacus in the stomach is no less scheming than anyone else.

Sitting on my left, which is Xiao Yuqing's right, is bronze-skinned Yang Hui, who is serious and doesn't like to laugh. He comes from a family of generals. , had already killed the enemy with his father and fought on the battlefield.

These four were all well-known people in the court, and Yun Shu never thought that he would form a lifelong friendship with these four.
