Chapter 1379: Water Margin Ends, Arrogance Rises
Wu Song saw that Liu Yu did not have a trace of sorrow and reluctance between his eyebrows, and couldn't help but ask sadly: "Brother doesn't have a trace of nostalgia for this family?" ”
With a faint sigh, Liu Yu put on a look of caring for the world and compassion, and pretended to say: "There is the world in my heart, and the world is my home." ”
Wu Song didn't sleep all night, tossing and turning, Fang Jinzhi was so noisy that he couldn't sleep, and kicked him: "Be honest with me, if you miss your brother, go to Dongjing to see him, it's not that you don't know the way." Wu Song was completely honest at this time.
After Liu Yu left, Wu Song looked forward to Liu Yu's letter every day, and Liu Yu sent a letter a month after he left, just a few words: Okay, don't read it!
Wu Song wanted to go to the capital to see Liu Yu, but Fang Jinzhi was pregnant at this time, and Wu Song, who was about to become a father, was very excited, and followed the instructions of the doctor and mother-in-law.
Wu Song took care of Fang Jinzhi at home, and waited for three months of danger before he got up again and planned to go to Dongjing, Fang Jinzhi understood him and agreed to let him go. Wu Song went on the road alone, and he slept in the capital for half a month, his eyes were black, he didn't know where to find his brother, he found a hotel to live in, and wandered around the street every day.
Wu Song also asked someone, they had never heard of Wu Dalang, Wu Song was wasted in the capital for half a month, and the silver was spent, so he had to return in vain. Wu Song sighed about this matter for a long time, and that Fang Jinzhi asked him to ask the magistrate, maybe he could know Liu Yu's whereabouts. Wu Song didn't like Zhixian County, but he still went for his brother.
The magistrate has been paying attention to Liu Yu. Naturally, I knew that Wu Song was coming. Warmly greeted and mentioned Liu Yu. He looked proud of his honor, which made Wu Song angry enough. Liu Yu now specializes in alchemy for the emperor, and because he is good at bowing, he is very loved by the emperor, so he takes it with him every day, and also gives him a mansion. When he didn't know what his brother's situation was, Wu Song thought about going to the capital to find him every day, but now that he knew that his brother was doing well, he didn't have the urgency to find him.
Another year has passed. Wu Song became a father, and the idea of going to Dong-Beijing became even weaker, and Liu Yu's family letter also changed from one a month to one every six months, and there were always only those four words on the letter: Okay, don't read it! Wu Song's expectations for the family letter are also getting weaker and weaker, he puts more energy on the martial arts hall, and the team of disciples who come to learn martial arts is getting stronger and stronger.
Wu Song is no longer the younger brother who cares about his brother all day, he has become mature and has a family concept. With a sense of ambition, he understands his responsibilities and knows that he must restrain his temper and no longer make trouble whenever he drinks. He learned how to maintain a family, and he respected his wife as an equal. He doted on his son, but he didn't dote on him. He honored his father-in-law and mother-in-law as his own parents.
Three years later. When Wu Song's second child was born in the same year, Liu Yu came back and returned to his hometown as the king of the county, which was the second king with a different surname since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, with Yang-Gu-county as the center, together with several counties around it and merged into a county, called Wucheng County, as Liu Yu's fief.
Liu Yu was dressed in a black brocade robe, rusty golden dragon claws, and a golden crown on his head, this small place has never seen such a noble person as the king of the county, and the people on both sides of the road were kneeling with people, and everyone trembled and did not dare to raise their heads. Shi Bao was appointed by Liu Yu as the Taishou of Wucheng County, in charge of the affairs of the city, and the magistrate of Yuanyang-Gu-County was removed from his official position and never hired.
Liu Yu revisited his hometown and returned home, Wu Song's family, who got the news, went out to greet them, and when they saw Liu Yu, everyone made a gesture to kneel. Liu Yu stepped forward to support Wu Song, who wanted to worship, but Wu Song insisted on kneeling, "Wu Song is a kneeling brother, not a kneeling king." Liu Yu let go, and when Wu Song finished kneeling, Liu Yu helped him up with both hands, "Good brother, and much stronger...... Are these two my nephews? Liu Yu picked up one of them, lowered his head and looked at the baby wrapped in swaddling clothes by Fang Jinzhi.
Liu Yu spent a New Year at home, accompanied Wu Song's family during the day, and discussed the political affairs of Wucheng County with the staff he recruited in the study at night.
Liu Yu had to return to Beijing on the fifteenth day of the first month, the emperor only gave him an annual leave, obviously he had a fief, but the emperor didn't let him stay for a long time, the emperor became more and more dependent on Liu Yu, this is not a good sign, the ministers of the court and China have this consensus, but who dares to put it forward?! Not only does the emperor value Liu Yu, but even Taishi Cai and Taiwei Gao have close contacts with Liu Yu, and the three giants of the DPRK and China are all on Liu Yu's side, who dares to say that Liu Yu is not good?
These three people are raised by Liu Yu with pills every day, but they can't leave Liu Yu, they are afraid that Liu Yu will not come back if he has a fief, but he will not give a reward, what should Liu Yu do if he refuses to refine the pill? Or obediently listen to the words of this ancestor, give him whatever he wants, and offer it like a bodhisattva.
After another three years, the power of Wucheng County expanded to the scope of two counties, with more than one million people and 100,000 soldiers, including Zhu Wu, Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng, Xiao Rang, and Lu Junyi, Wang Yin, Wang Jin, Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen, Deng Yuanjue, Li Tianyan and others. Seeing that the time was ripe, Liu Yu was reluctant to return to the palace from the fiefdom, and the emperor's three gold medal edicts ordered him to return to Beijing, but Liu Yu abandoned it.
The emperor was angry and sent troops to arrest Liu Yu, but he didn't know that Liu Yu had already become a climate in recent years, and the 100,000 troops of the conquest could not be attacked for a long time, but suffered defeat.
Liu Yu took the opportunity to raise troops, and set the world for five years, subverting the fate of the entire "Water Margin", at the enthronement ceremony, Liu Yu felt the loosening of the illusion, and also vaguely sensed the body of the treasure that inspired the "Law of Illusion" to form the illusion! Just when Liu Yu tried to touch the treasure body, the illusion was shattered!
######################################################
The white-bearded magician looked at Liu Yu, who had successfully fallen into the illusion, and couldn't help but show a smile on his face, but this ease only lasted less than two seconds before it was replaced by horror! Staring at Liu Yu, whose eyes were radiant, the whitebeard magician asked in disbelief, "Are you...... Are you out of the illusion? How could it be so fast? ”
didn't wait for Liu Yu to answer. He "found" the answer himself: "Yes, the template I used to generate the illusion came from a famous Chinese book. You probably know it well, so you didn't indulge in the illusion...... It's even possible. It is because I helped you set the identity of a cuckold short-lived ugly ghost that it will arouse your vigilance or self-motivation, after all, people like you are very confident in yourself, and will never allow yourself to be unpopular, after discovering your own situation, you will naturally work hard and change your life against the sky, which breaks the illusion ......"
Taking a long breath, the white-bearded magician, who had been talking to himself, didn't need Liu Yu's response at all. looked at him and said coldly: "I still have the strength to spare, I can set up another illusion for you, a fantasy based on our Europa masterpiece as a template, and give you a good background!" Just like in your Huaguo house fight story, I want to 'kill' you, I want to make you drunk, rich and glorious, I see how you work hard this time and change your life against the sky......"
######################################################
Boredom put down the book in his hand, Liu Yu got up from the shade of the tree, and walked slowly towards a majestic white building in the distance. Compared to the last time, it was a Chinese with black hair and black eyes. This time he became a Caucasian completely. Fitz William Debo, Liu Yu's name this time, is currently eight years old.
He had a dukely father named "Charles Debo" who was not very well, and was four months pregnant and had a bitter temperament, and his maiden family was the Duchess mother named "Catherine Debo" of the Fitzwilliam family. That's right. He also had an aunt who married into the Darcy family in Derbyshire, and his aunt had a cousin who was two years older than him - Fitzwilliam Darcy.
Many people who are in the realm of illusion can't tell the difference between fantasy and reality, but Liu Yu's soul is very strong. He also deeply understood the origin of the "Law of Illusion", so that he would never think that he was a native of the Illusion Aborigine. This was the case with the last "Water Margin". And this time "Pride and Prejudice" is the same!
As a man, he really has little interest in this kind of world masterpiece that is similar to modern romance. However, "Pride and Prejudice" is too famous, and the number of times it has been adapted into a movie by Hollywood cannot be counted on one hand, and Liu Yu more or less knows the names of the main characters in it.
Therefore, only a few days after entering this illusion, Liu Yu knew that his mother was the arrogant and hypocritical duchess who blocked true love in the original book, and Anne Debo, who is still in the womb of Mrs. Catherine Debo, is the aristocratic lady who has a verbal marriage contract with Mr. Darcy but cannot be admitted by Mr. Darcy to be in poor health!
Without thinking about it for too long, Liu Yu decided on a plan of action to break this illusion.
Back at the manor, Liu Yu first went to the living room to meet Mrs. Catherine. In the original book, Anne is said to have been born prematurely and sickly, and when he arrived here, he had already taken most of the servants of Debo Manor into his hands. Except for the duke's butler and maid, Lady Catherine was the focus of Liu Yu's attention.
No matter how frail and sick Charles is, he is also a duke, and he has so much property in his name, it is strange that he is not remembered by women. Liu Yu has experienced the battle in the back house, even if the Westerners are rough-minded, but there will be no shortage of intrigue. If you think about the worst possible outcome in everything, you can avoid a lot of trouble.
If you want to break the illusion, then it is essential to change the original book, and there are many ways to change the original book, since he is now the heir of the Debo family, then this key point of "distorting history" naturally does not need to be found elsewhere, it can be directly determined as Anne! As long as Anne can be happy, then it will affect the whole body, "Pride and Prejudice" has no foundation to maintain, and it is reasonable to be broken! And for Anne to be happy, a healthy body is a must. And then Anne's marital problems ...... Without the corresponding real power, how can he support his sister-in-law?
As for the original book, Lady Catherine wanted to marry Anne to Darcy...... Thinking that she has an excellent son, she probably won't look up to Darcy so much. To be honest, although Darcy in the original book is very good, with a high income and a good social status, in this fantasy world, the Darcy family can only be regarded as above average.
The Darcy family is a good family in Derbyshire, but they are not noble. Although the old aristocracy is gradually declining and the new nouveau riche is gradually rising in this era, if the Debo family can prosper. That's definitely a lot better than those upstarts. Whether it is the foundation or the connections, the old aristocrats have much merit over the upstarts.
Just when Liu Yu was preparing for his future. Mrs. Darcy took little Darcy to visit Debo Manor. Sitting on the sidelines watching Lady Catherine and Lady Darcy laughing and laughing, Liu Yu quietly pursed the corners of his lips. Before, he thought how good the relationship between the two sisters was. will verbally set the marriage contract between little Darcy and Anne, and now it seems that the two sisters are just face-saving.
It is also said that the sisters of the earl's family, one of whom is married to the duke, and the other is only married to the wang family, which is not boring. But I have to admit that Mrs. Darcy is more able to raise children than Mrs. Catherine, just look at little Darcy. If Mrs. Darcy had lived, I think Georgiana would not have been deceived by a man with empty appearances.
And Lady Catherine is here...... She herself looked like an upstart, let alone Anne. If it weren't for Anne's poor health, her personality would be a little introverted. Probably really will become like Lady Catherine. As the saying goes, "each other is born from the heart", and Lady Catherine is a typical example. She and Mrs. Darcy are sisters, and their appearance is naturally seven or eight points similar, but unfortunately compared with the gentle Mrs. Darcy, Mrs. Catherine's high cheekbones are too obvious, and they destroy the otherwise good skin.
Thinking of this, Liu Yu couldn't help but sigh softly, it seems that the upbringing of his future sister has to be put on the agenda.
Mrs. Darcy took little Darcy home after staying in Debo Manor for more than ten days, and during this time, Liu Yu had a lot of good feelings in front of the mother and son. It's just that Liu Yu didn't know that the better Mrs. Darcy looked at him, the less she looked down on Mrs. Catherine. Lady Catherine is the eldest daughter of Earl Fitzwilliam, because she has given birth to several sons before, so the Earl and his wife are very pampered after having such a daughter, and they have developed Lady Catherine's pretentious and acerbic character. After Mrs. Darcy was born, she naturally did not have a sister to favor. When it comes to getting married in the end, it's my sister who marries better.
In Darcy's opinion, she was much better than Lady Catherine in terms of appearance and academic temperament, but Duke Charles took a fancy to Lady Catherine instead of her. Want. Or because Lady Catherine had a higher status in the Fitzwilliam family than she did.
Although she lived happily ever after marrying Mr. Darcy, Mr. Darcy did not find any lover to trouble her. There was a well-behaved and obedient son like little Darcy again, but her jealousy of Lady Catherine had not diminished much. Duke Charles was not as gentle and considerate as Mr. Darcy was to her. But no lover was found, so that Lady Catherine sat well in the place of hostess. Liu Yu's birth disappointed her even more, even if she was two years younger than Darcy, she also gave birth to a son, didn't she? What's more, this son now seems to be no worse than her little Darcy, and even a few points better!
Now Lady Catherine is pregnant again, much to the displeasure of Lady Darcy. When she gave birth to little Darcy, she hurt her body, and she had been very affectionate with Mr. Darcy for many years and had not been able to add another child, Mr. Darcy did not say anything, but the old Darcy couple had a lot of private dissatisfaction.
Lady Darcy could not swallow that Lady Catherine had no old man since she married into Debo's family, and she was even more affectionate with Mr. Darcy when she returned. Finally, seven months after Lady Catherine was pregnant, news came from Derbyshire that she was a month pregnant.
Liu Yu knew that this fetus should be Darcy's beloved sister who almost eloped with a little white face - Georgiana.
Under the escort of Liu Yu, Mrs. Catherine gave birth to the eldest daughter of the Debo family at full term. Seeing the little baby girl sleeping sweetly with red and wrinkled skin, he smiled with relief. The hard work paid off for this time, and Anne had a healthy body, which was a good start.
After giving birth, Mrs. Catherine threw Anne to the wet nurse, and when she remembered it, she went to see it and teased it, so that Liu Yu directly used the demon clan's secret "Soul Transference Method" that can change the heart of Mrs. Catherine. Lady Catherine is in her thirties, and her temperament has long been formed, so she is not good for Anne's upbringing or Liu Yu's future efforts. Anyway, she is not a key figure in "distorting history", and as her son, it is not good to do too much openly, so it is better to save trouble directly.
After giving birth to her daughter, Lady Catherine's temperament slowly changed, no longer so bitter and arrogant, but became much gentler, and Charles was more kind to Lady Catherine in the face of this. Lady Catherine, who had tasted the sweetness, became more and more restrained, and her eyebrows and eyes were filled with tenderness, so that the servants of the entire Debo estate began to privately say that she was becoming more and more beautiful.
The atmosphere of the Debo family became more and more harmonious, and Anne gradually opened up, and in the eyes of her parents and brother she was the cutest girl in the world. When Anne was six months old, a letter arrived from Pemberley Manor in Derbyshire, and Darcy gave birth to a baby girl, and the Darcy family was happy. It's just that the fly in the ointment is that Mrs. Darcy is not recovering very well after giving birth.
Upon hearing the news, Lady Catherine was silent for a long time, and at last ordered the butler to arrange for her to go down alone. Anne is still young, Liu Yu has been doing better and better lately, and Duke Charles has tried to hand over some properties to him to take care of, and it is impossible to follow her.
Half a month later, Lady Catherine came back in the dust. Liu Yu saw that although her face was not very good, her spirit was good, so she didn't care too much about Daxi's family. Unbeknownst to everyone, four months later, a baby girl who was much thinner than Anne was sent to Debo Manor. In the end, Mrs. Darcy did not survive until her daughter turned one year old and died, and the old lady of the Darcy family had already passed away, leaving Darcy with only three grandchildren and grandchildren, and no one who was closer to Mrs. Catherine, so she could only send Georgiana to Debo Manor to be raised.
Liu Yu was speechless about this result. Later, when he learned that it was Mrs. Catherine's changed temperament, Mrs. Darcy had orphaned her, leaving him speechless. This is obviously a fantasy based on eighteenth-century England, isn't it true that the children of the upper class are all raised by tutors and housekeepers, and what does it matter if they don't have their own mothers? Could it be because there's something wrong with Whitebeard's mage's subconscious?!
In the original book, wasn't Georgiana raised by the housekeeper at Pemberley Manor?! In any case, Duke Charles agreed to raise Georgiana, and Liu Yu, who has no absolute right to speak, can only accept this reality. It's better to think that he has an extra sister, but since Georgiana grew up in Debo's family, he must not let her make a scandal about almost eloping with Little White Face in the future. There is also an Annie in the Debo family, and Liu Yu doesn't want her reputation to be affected. Even if Britain was not as harsh on women as it was in ancient China, the disgraced women of this era were still sent to convents to die alone.
Compared to the real Blue Star World, the passage of time in this illusion made Liu Yu feel very fast. Before he knew it, he had been the new duke for twelve years. Duke Charles died when Anne was four years old, and many people at that time watched their orphans and widows do something, but in the end they all obediently retreated under his thunderous methods.
After so many years, Liu Yu can't help but sit firmly in the position of duke, and he also has real power in the army. Although this world is just an illusion, its template is also based on real history, as a person who knows a lot about the history of this era, Liu Yu would be really stupid if he didn't use these histories.
In the war against France on the European continent, Liu Yu gained a lot of credit even if he did not go to the battlefield in person. And his profound knowledge and elegant conversation also made the young duke remembered by the British high society. Even if he didn't go to university like other noble children, he showed extraordinary ability and was impressive.
While he was working hard for his future, he did not relax the upbringing of the two girls in the family. Even if he is outstanding, but Anne herself is a thin mud that can't support the wall, then everything is still in vain. Fortunately, Mrs. Catherine, who was brainwashed by the "Soul Transference Method", did not hold back, and the two girls are now getting better and better.
Now the marriage of the two girls should also be put on the agenda, although the two are only fifteen years old now, but now that this woman is twenty years old and has not yet married, even if she is a leftover woman, Liu Yu has to plan for the two of them. Georgiana is a lovely girl, at first he only thought more about her because of Anna, and now, Liu Yu also wants to do more for this girl. (To be continued.) )
