As the head of this family, Lian Zining couldn't know more about the situation at home, the year his mother was ill, the family's savings had been exhausted, and the former owner of his body was also a person who couldn't take care of the family business, only couldn't go in and out, and now there were less than two buckets of rice left in the house, and he saw that he couldn't survive the wheat harvest.

It's just that when he first came here, everything here can be said to be unfamiliar, and everything is based on the original memory of this body, and he has no personal experience. This body, the original Lian Zining, is limited to the vision of this era, and it is not a brilliant task in itself, and those memories and perceptions are inevitably biased and omitted. He had just experienced such a big change, and it was his brain that was muddy, so where did he come up with an idea for a while?

Just thinking about it, Cheng Yu, who had already cleaned up the meal, walked out of the kitchen with a boxwood plate and said, "Brother, the hot water is ready for you in the kitchen, I went to wash my face and hands by myself, and after eating, what are you still doing in a daze?" ”

Although the family is already dilapidated, after all, Lian Zining's father used to be a small officer of the Beijing Army, and he still fished a lot of oil and water.

After washing his face and hands, he changed into a green shirt that he usually wears at home, and under the dim oil lamp in the living room, Lian Zining ate his first meal after coming to the Ming Dynasty.

Dinner is very simple, a plate of shredded carrots, a plate of small pickles, a plate of bitter vegetables brought back by Lian Zining today is washed, a plate of sauce next to it, a bowl of white porridge in front of a person, and a multigrain steamed bun on the boxwood plate next to it.

Lian Zining looked at the table of dishes without oil and water in front of him, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

If it weren't for his large amount of exercise, energy consumption, and good body maintenance, this way of eating meat alone is only afraid that he will have high blood lipids and high blood pressure at a young age. Later, when I went to college, although my girlfriend was not very beautiful, she was also very virtuous, and the two went out to live together since their sophomore year, and in order to please him, they changed their laws every day to cook good meals and dishes. In a word, although I can't say that I can't eat fine clothes, I have never eaten such a blandness and miserable meal.

It is indeed more difficult to let a person who has no meat and no joy to eat this white porridge and pickles, when he is not hungry.

Lian Chengyu was very happy to eat, for her little heart, it would be very happy to have a not sumptuous but warm dinner with her brother at such a time.

I gave him a chopstick bitter herb, and the tender bitter herbs were placed in a white dish, red and green, with crystal water droplets on it, which looked very gratifying. These bitter herbs are the results of Lian Zining's trip out of the city today, and the family really can't open the pot when they see it, Cheng Yu, a girl who has not been out of the pavilion, is not good to show up, so he went out of the city to pick some wild vegetables, camellia, bitter herbs and so on.

"Brother, eat quickly! You read every day, the bitter herbs are bright, eat more! ”

Looking at Cheng Yu's sparkling eyes, Lian Zining had no choice but to pick up the chopsticks, dip them in a mouthful of sauce, put them in his mouth and chew them carefully.

This bitter herb is crisp and raw, he chewed it, only to feel that the entrance was very bitter at first, and he almost wanted to spit it out, but when he chewed it carefully, there was a stream of sweetness that came out, which made people feel very wonderful.

Lian Zining praised: "Well, this bitter herb is good. ”

"Then you can eat more! You study hard, and now that you are about to take the township exam, you need to make up for it even more when you read late at night. Lian Chengyu looked at him with a pair of eyes sparkling, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and pushed the plate with bitter herbs to him.

Although Lian Zining is the head of the family, in fact, at home, it is Lian Chengyu who takes care of him. Lian Zining has been spoiled by his parents since he was a child, it can be said that he is not diligent and does not distinguish between grains and grains, let alone sewing and mending clothes, and he can't even cook himself, if it weren't for Lian Chengyu cooking and washing at home and sewing clothes, I am afraid that Lian Zining would have starved to death and froze to death.

Lian Zining was moved in his heart and said, "You are growing your body, so you should eat more!" ”

"Hmm!" Lian Chengyu answered obediently, his eyes full of smiles.

Calm down, these bland and tasteless meals have become much sweeter in the mouth, a light like beans, in this era, such a meal, although hard, but also a little different kind of warmth.

After eating and drinking, Lian Chengyu began to hold the dining table, Lian Zining was used to doing this kind of thing in his previous life, so he wanted to go up to help, but was pushed away by Lian Chengyu, and said angrily: "Brother, you are a showman, how can you do such a thing!" I'll do it, you can go and read in peace! ”

"Xiucai? Is Xiucai valuable? ”

Although some disagreed, but it was just that the thinking of leading people first had not completely changed, and Lian Zining also knew in his heart that the fame of a showman was of course very valuable in this era.

The Ming Dynasty has the strictest control over the people, and Lao Zhu's family is not from the right background, so he is afraid that others will follow his own old path, so the surveillance of all walks of life is extremely powerful, but only for one profession is extremely advantageous - scholars.

In today's era, even if a businessman is rich, his social status is not as good as that of a small landlord with only three or five acres of land, and even clothes made of silk have to be worn secretly at home. Therefore, the way to get promoted and make a fortune almost depends on being an official, and the main way to enter the official career is the imperial examination, although Lian Zining is only a showman now, but in this era, the identity of the showman is a great figure whether it is in the city or the countryside, and some scholars are not necessarily able to be admitted to a show.

Daming has the strictest supervision of the people, most people have never left the family in their lives, and they have to be issued by the local government to go out. However, Xiucai is different from such famous scholars, as the saying goes, the young man in green shirt travels, referring to Xiucai - in that era, Xiucai, especially Xiucai who had a little money at home, was unwilling to nest at home, but liked to drive a carriage, take a few slaves and maids, add fragrance to red sleeves, travel around the world, and cultivate love. They can travel casually, and the officials along the way are not allowed to stop the detention, and Xiucai is a seed of study, the reserve of the heavenly officials, and the right not to kneel to see the official, if you meet a disciple under the master who is an official in a certain place, and the poor Xiucai comes to the door to disturb you, you have to prepare the agenda and present a thick letter of silver, in the eyes of ordinary people, such a person is naturally a person with a very high status.

Lian Zining's father died, and now the Lian family is in decline, and the previous Lian Zining is not very good at maintaining the family business, and he only knows how to study hard, although he was admitted to Xiucai, and he also has a good martial arts, but he can't get along with people the most, which is a great decline. But he was admitted to the Xiucai of Shuntianfu in the county examination in the forty-seventh year of Zhengde, this kind of identity, if he is in the countryside, he is a talented master, even if he can't pass the exam in the future, he will not live a bad life if he goes to be a staff member for a county lord or the like, or runs a private school to teach and educate people. Even at the feet of the Son of Heaven in Yanjing City, he can be regarded as a noble figure among the neighbors.
