Xu Hao sat crookedly under the boxy tea shelf next to the patio, listening to the sound of joy on the willow tree, and holding a straw stalk in his mouth.

In front of me, the emerald green vines that bent and drooped down swayed back and forth with the breeze; In an antique octagonal pavilion in a small pool in the distance, a young girl with pigtails and white gauze was playing a guqin, and the sound of schoolchildren reading aloud came from the school next door.

What a poetic picture, but unfortunately the sound of playing the piano incorrectly is like the wail of a big rooster before death, which is extremely harsh. The jagged reading sound is mixed with the laughter of the urchins from time to time, which is messy and annoying; The almost uninterrupted sound of cicadas has been heard for a long time, like a magic sound piercing the brain, disturbing people from sleeping.

The listless Xu Hao was stunned, sniffing the fragrance of various flowers blooming under his feet on the tip of his nose; A gust of wind struck, sending a strong sandalwood fragrance from the octagonal pavilion.

In ancient times, there was incense and piano, and now there is practice and incense, but it is a pity that the girl's piano skills are inversely proportional to the strong fragrance.

"Huh!" Xu Hao shrugged his nose, it seemed that what was burned was not precious sandalwood but all kinds of messy rouge gouache, well, it was still an expired kind.

My little sister is really playing the piano! Xu Hao looked up at the cloudless blue sky with empty eyes, the light of the sun poured down unscrupulously, and the fan in the hand of Qiu Xiang, the little girl who was dozing next to him, trembled, and even a trace of saliva came out of the corner of her mouth.

People's Qiu Xiang smiles, their own Qiu Xiang is mediocre, if you want to have a face without a face, if you want a figure without a figure, it can really be said that she is a genuine yellow-haired girl.

God is really unfair, some are ambitious, civil and military all-rounders, Yushu is in the wind, and ambitious buddies cry and shout and wait to travel to ancient times to make contributions. What is to calm the world, dominate the Quartet, and unify the world, anyway, it is to change history, sweep away the decline of our modern China for hundreds of years, and then reign over the world.

How admirable! But why did you choose a guy like me, who has no ambition when he is young, and who can't be successful?

What a pity! Providence makes people. Let's just say that our face can't compare to Pan An, our guts can't match Zhang Fei, our whiskers and horses are far inferior to Zhao Gao and Qin Hui, and our resourcefulness can't compete with Zhuge Kongming, not to mention that we don't have the imperial blood that Uncle Liu Huang loves.

In fact, the prince and the prince will have a kind of Xiangning, these are nothing, if I were to come twenty years earlier, brother and I would follow Zhu Taizu before and after the saddle, and Rong Ma would have a career for most of his life, if he was lucky enough not to die?

Forget it, the title of the knighthood that was exchanged for an injury is not safe, let's just say that the life of the heroes in the capital is called a torment, the emperor is too suspicious, and almost none of them have a good death, even the famous right prime minister Li Shanchang is said to be dying soon, but he is a dignified man who gives the Danshu iron coupon and is exempt from two capital crimes.

What do you want to do in the future? Reading to be an official? No, in front of the Dihuang Temple at the entrance of the village, there is a skinned former county magistrate, which is called a miserable and miserable, but he received twenty taels of silver from the widow Li in the east of the village and the unspoken rules.

Being an official in this era is really a high-risk industry, and eighty percent of officials have to die in office, and don't even think about a whole corpse after death! The great Confucian, who was full of poetry and books, was taken off his pants and hit the board in front of the court, and he was swept away.

Making a lot of money doing business? It's not appropriate, it is said that the big money who is doing business in this world is inferior wherever they go, and they belong to a lowly profession, so what's the use of making more money? There's a kind of you put on a fancy satin coat for your brother, and look at it!

It seems that it is better to be a common man who is fished and meat, the peasants of the Ming Dynasty have status and status, they plant fields, weave cloth, raise pigs, go out of labor, go to bed early and get up early, and their wives and children are hot on the kang. The legendary Jinyiwei gang of fierce gods are as cute as children, and they are all heroes, and they are born with hatred of the rich and noble.

The problem is that we are traversers, although we are ordinary people, but God has given us a "good relative".

The first person to be a hero of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Da, the Duke of Wei, is our second grandfather in terms of seniority, the kind of in-law who is really mixed when you think about it.

The good thing is that the whole family follows the light, although there are not a few relatives left, but the whole family does not worry about food and clothing, and everyone looks down on them wherever they go; The worry is that maybe one day the heroes of Jinyiwei will find the door, as a member of the Xu family's family tree, there is a number in the nine clans.

There's a movie line that says it's up to me to die, bullshit! Do you try to play rebellion at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty? Play can't kill you.

Alas, anyway, if you come here, you will be safe, anyway, we are an honest person who wants nothing and has no ambitions, so let's choose to live in peace.

A popular nursery rhyme in the village says well, the emperor let you die in the third watch, who dares to keep you until the fifth watch?

Xu Hao sighed, saying that since Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang drove out the Tartars and revitalized China, the fate of the Xu family has naturally undergone earth-shaking changes.

At that time, the Xu family was just a farmer's family, but fortunately, the ancestors had some scholarly inheritance, so that the second grandfather Xu Da secretly read some books since he was a child, including a few military books, understood things, and rarely had ambitions.

At that time, Xu Da ran to follow Zhu Yuanzhang's uprising, and his grandfather was unfortunately hit by the plague in that great famine, and his grandmother Xu tried her best to support the two families, which made Xu Da very grateful to his sister-in-law, and after building the capital Jinling, he took his brother's family from his hometown to the outskirts of the capital.

Grandma Mrs. Xu is deeply respected by Xu Da, and she has a high prestige in the entire family, and she is even more famous at home, saying that everyone is afraid of her.

Xu Hao doesn't like this stern old lady very much, and the old lady doesn't like him who is not outstanding in all aspects, in fact, the entire second room is not treated by the old man.

Speaking of the second room, naturally Xu Hao's cheap father is three brothers in this generation, and he ranks second. When the three brothers were young, they each accompanied the three sons of Xu Da, who had become developed, as companions and scholars.

Uncle Xu Yaozu followed his cousin, Xu Yungong, the eldest son of Xu Dana, who was praised by everyone, and learned a good martial arts, and he was also born with a talent, and his appearance was dignified, so he was naturally valued by the old lady, and Changfang's status in the family was high.

The third uncle Xu Zengfu followed Xu Da's youngest son Xu Zengshou to read poetry and books since he was a child, his mind was flexible, and his export was full of chapters, which won the favor of the old lady, and the status of the third room at home was unknown.

Only his cheap dad is the hardest, and he is mixed with his honest second cousin Xu Yingxu, who is also a stuffy gourd character who can't beat a fart on the three boards, and his martial arts can't compare to his big brothers, and his literary talent can't compare to his younger brothers, and he can't speak well and obediently, and it's reasonable that he is not treated by the family.

Another point is that the cheap father is very afraid of his wife, which makes the old lady who has been hard all her life the most dissatisfied, but the cheap mother herself is very competitive, and she gave birth to three children in one breath after marriage, so that the old lady has no reason to have a seizure.

We have an older sister who has not been out of the cabinet, a quirky sister below, an honest and calm father, and a spicy mother, and the life of the family is not good.

In short, my life in the Ming Dynasty had just begun.
