001 Dream back to Datang

Next Chapter

Recalling the heyday of the Kaiyuan Dynasty in the past, Xiaoyi still hides thousands of rooms.

The rice is fat and the corn is white, and the public and private warehouses are abundant.

This is the first four sentences of "Reminiscences" written by the great poet Du Fu of the Tang Dynasty, describing the grand occasion of the country's prosperity and people's strength during the reign of the Kaiyuan Dynasty.

After years of recuperation and development, in the Kaiyuan period, the Tang Dynasty was strong, the social economy was prosperous, the people lived a prosperous life, the people of the Tang Dynasty had surplus grain in their homes, and their pockets had surplus money.

For example, Yuancheng County in Weizhou.

Yuancheng County is the Warring States Period Wei Wuhou in the territory of the Daiming County as the food of Gongzi Yuan, in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty to Ye as the center of Wei County, because this area was the food of Wei Gongzi Yuan, so when the county was established in the name of Yuancheng County, in the Tang Dynasty it was under the jurisdiction of Wei Zhou, in the Tang Dynasty more than 1,500 counties, barely a middle county.

However, this small county, which has always been stable and prosperous, suddenly revealed a major event: the Zheng family ancestral hall suddenly rang the rarely used bronze bell.

According to the habit of the Zheng family, only when important sacrifices or major events occur, the large bronze bell hanging in the ancestral hall will be ringed.

Yuancheng County has a population of more than 3,000 households, and it is considered a middle county in more than 1,500 counties in the Tang Dynasty, so many families, I don't know how many trivial things every day, in the era when you can't enter the official family and die in hell, it is very common to deal with family affairs and disputes in the ancestral hall, but it is definitely not as eye-catching as the Zheng family.

The reason is very simple, the Zheng family is a branch of the Xingyang Zheng family, the Xingyang Zheng family is recognized by the government and the opposition, the family has a long history, and the family has a large number of talents, and the Longxi Li family, Zhaojun Li family, Qinghe Cui family, Boling Cui family, Fanyang Lu family, Taiyuan Wang family together is the famous seven families and five surnames.

It's a pity that the ancestors of the Zheng family in Yuancheng are from the partial house of the Zheng family in Xingyang, the blood relationship is a little thin, and the relationship with the family is a little distant after a long time, and the clan can not touch any light, the old man of the Zheng family took the Xiucai exam at the age of sixteen, and it can be said that the famous county town was shocked at that time, but unfortunately it has not been able to go further, the young man Lang was admitted to the pulsatilla, and finally the old man of the Zheng family also gave up, putting hope in the next generation, but I didn't expect the people of the glorious lintel to look forward to it, and looked forward to a loser who disgraced the family.

No, Old Man Zheng, who has always paid attention to cultivating his mind, was angry with this loser.

The bell spread far away, and the entire Yuancheng County had a big bronze bell for the Zheng family, and the insiders knew that something had happened to the Zheng family when they heard it, and they all turned their heads and ears:

"What's going on, I haven't heard the bronze bell ring for a long time, I don't know what happened to the Zheng family?"

"I heard that the old man of the Zheng family was so angry that he fainted by Zheng Peng's ruined son the day before yesterday, and now the bell ringing in the Zheng ancestral hall is almost related to him."

"Can you not be angry, this third young master of the Zheng family is really a loser, he didn't cause trouble when he was a child, and he was even more lawless when he was older, he only fought with the son of the Gu master book last month, in order to protect him The old face of the Zheng family was sold out, the night before in the Chunfeng Building for Xiaocui and the second child of the Yang family in the south of the city were jealous, the two of them tore the silk satin, the best Suzhou and Hangzhou silk, not to mention the second and one horse, the third young master of the Zheng family tore twenty horses without changing his face, that is dozens of dollars, the silk village guy came to ask for the account, Master Zheng listened to his children and grandchildren so bastard, He fainted on the spot. ”

"The tree has dead branches, the family has a big failure, the Zheng family, I'm afraid that I will lose to this third young master."

"There's no way, the Zheng family gave birth to three, and the first two didn't hold on, so he was left with a single seedling, isn't it that he is afraid of falling in his hand, and he is afraid of melting in his mouth?"

When everyone said a word, and slowly talked about the black history of the third young master of the Zheng family, Zheng Peng, who was kneeling in the Zheng family's ancestral hall, looked a little sluggish and a little shocked.

What's going on, I was originally an ordinary peddler in the twentieth century, on weekdays I was selling my own secret braised meat, making supper or something, I didn't make much money, but I was better than freedom, that night my girlfriend said that I wanted to eat braised pork, and I rode the bicycle that didn't ring anything except the bell in the middle of the night to send it to her, and after a little dark road, I suddenly fell down with a car, Zheng Peng's first reaction was which one killed a thousand knives and stole the manhole cover, and fainted before he could scold.

When I woke up, I was first helped here in a daze, and then I was ordered to kneel on the ground, this seems to be an ancestral hall, the question is why I am kneeling alone, and then look around, there are old and young, some sitting, some standing, looking at their eyes with schadenfreude, disdain, and sarcasm.

Zheng Peng found that the people inside were all men, and after observation, he was surprised to find a terrible thing: this was not a dream, nor was it filming, but he fell back to ancient times.

Just when Zheng Peng was thinking wildly, someone suddenly shouted: "San Lang, say in front of the ancestors and ancestors, can you be guilty?" ”

The person who spoke was Zheng Changduo, Zheng Peng's nominal grandfather and the head of the Zheng family, and at this moment he was sitting on it, scolding Zheng Peng with a serious face.

Although Zheng Yuanduo said that his hair and beard were white, his face was not very good, and he was a little thin, his waist was straight, his eyes were bright, and he had a kind of momentum of not being angry and arrogant.

As soon as the words fell, there was an atmosphere of slaughter in the ancestral hall, and several children who were a little distracted subconsciously stood up straighter when they heard it.

Saburo? Staring at yourself, is this calling me?

Zheng Peng was a little confused, and was about to say something, but he didn't expect a sharp pain in his brain, and he couldn't help but cover his head with his hands and scream in some pain.

"Grandfather, it's better to ask later, the third brother is afraid that he has a hangover and has not woken up." A boy about thirteen or fourteen years old in the crowd spoke.

The person who spoke was called Zheng Cheng, Zheng Peng's younger brother, and he sounded very concerned, but at this juncture, what did he say about a hangover and not waking up, isn't this adding fuel to the fire?

Sure enough, Zheng Changduo glanced at Zheng Peng, his old face twitched, his eyes were full of disappointment, and his face became more and more gloomy.

San Lang, a bastard boy, fought with others for a Qinglou woman in Chunhualou, and tore twenty pieces of silk and satin, and he was beaten for forty times, and when he thought of this, Old Man Zheng had the urge to go crazy.

If it weren't for Zheng Peng's long house, the only single seedling left in the long house, with the character of Old Man Zheng, he would have beaten this loser to death a long time ago, out of sight and out of mind.

Before Zheng Changduo could speak, a middle-aged man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks standing next to him said in a strange manner: "I drank fifty times in one meal of flower wine, I really can't miss it." ”

Speaking of this, the middle-aged man sat on the top and said to Zheng Changduo: "Father, it's true that San Lang is the eldest son of Changfang, but the three heads and two days are defeated, and the gold and silver mountains can't stand the day when they run out of food, so they can't get used to him San Lang anymore." ”

The middle-aged man's name is Zheng Yuanye, the younger brother of Zheng Peng's Laozi Zheng Yuanjia, and the second son of Zheng Laozi.

Zheng Yuanye is very unhappy, as an elder, he only has the usual amount of money every month, and Zheng Peng's little bastard dares to squander fifty times after drinking flower wine once.

"Family, what do you have to say?" Old man Zheng Changduo turned his face, turned his head and asked Zheng Yuanjia, who is also Zheng Peng's nominal son.

Zheng Yuanjia opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he hesitated for a long time, and finally muttered: "Everything depends on my father." ”

Zheng Peng's head didn't hurt so much, and when he heard the words and looked at his own Lao Tzu, a bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart.

are all escorted to the ancestral hall, and some people fall into the well, at this time, Lao Tzu does not say a good word to protect, can there be good fruit to eat?

When Mr. Zheng asked a question just now, Zheng Peng felt that a large number of memories suddenly poured into his brain, which did not belong to his own memory, and his head seemed to be unable to bear it all of a sudden, which made him feel painful, but he didn't expect Zheng Cheng to say that it was a hangover and not waking up.

At this moment, Zheng Peng was shocked and a little lucky: he came to a strange world, fortunately, his family was good, and the Zheng family was not rich and expensive in his memory, but it was also a local wealthy family, at least he had no worries about food and clothing.

Zheng Peng is kneeling on the surface, and he is a lot more settled, but his brain is running rapidly, sorting out some fragmentary memories in his brain: it is now the third year of Kaiyuan, good luck, proper prosperity, this is the Zheng family in Yuancheng, coincidentally the owner of this body is also called Zheng Peng, the head of the Zheng family, that is, his grandfather is called Zheng Changduo, and there are four sons under his knees, namely Zheng Yuanjia, Zheng Yuanye, Zheng Yuanxing and Zheng Yuanwang, the eldest son Zheng Yuanjia is his own nominal Laozi, he has only taken one Xiucai exam after reading for decades, and his personality is a bit muna, Weekdays are submissive to their elders; The second uncle Zheng Yuanxing is lazy and lazy, likes to take advantage, and follows his grandfather's ass all day long; The third uncle, Zheng Yuanxing, is responsible for looking at the family's shop and business, and the fourth uncle, Zheng Yuanwang, is responsible for managing the family's fields.

There are grandfathers, parents and three uncles, a lot of little mothers and aunts, and there are three brothers and one sister below, Zheng Cheng is from the second room Zheng Yuanye, the third uncle's five lang Zheng Wan, the sixth lang Zheng Li, the fourth uncle has no son, only one daughter Zheng Bing, nicknamed Mo Mei, that is, there is no son yet, so the status of the fourth uncle is the lowest, and he is responsible for the hardest and most tired fields, and he has to work in the fields when he is busy.

The name of Mr. Zheng is quite interesting, the last word of the children is taken from "the family is prosperous", and the last word of the grandchildren is taken from "Pengcheng Wanli".

The name is good, but it's a pity that the three generations of the Zheng family didn't even have a jinshi, Zheng Changduo and Zheng Yuan's family stopped at Xiucai, which has always been a pain in the heart of the old man Zheng, the second generation has no hope, and put hope on the third generation, focusing on Zheng Peng, the son of the long house.

Zheng Peng was still very smart when he was a child, learning far faster than his peers, and the old man Zheng also loved his eldest grandson, but he didn't expect to be spoiled too much, and finally became a loser who everyone in Yuancheng laughed at, and he didn't know how much trouble he caused to his family.

Loser, too loser, Old Man Zheng was dizzy on the spot, and the first thing he did after waking up was to hold a family meeting in the ancestral hall to deal with Zheng Peng.

The Zheng family just can't prosper in their own hands, but they must not be destroyed in their own hands, looking at the grandson who was kneeling a little absentmindedly below, a trace of perseverance flashed in the old man's eyes.
