Chapter 1 Sick Seedlings
Chu Yunguo.
Fuzhou boundary.
The most prosperous is Peng Yuancheng, the head of that state.
Peng Yuancheng is the capital of Fuzhou Prefecture, with troops stationed all year round, and thousands of merchants and traders come here every day. Within a radius of 100 miles, from the scholarly family to the peddlers and pawns, they were all proud of being able to obtain Peng Yuancheng's long-term residence officials.
Speaking of the famous families in Pengyuan City, the most noteworthy is the Xiahou family, which is famous for its mechanical mathematics.
This Xiahou family's mechanism is really magical, from the various siege vehicles and crossbows in the army to the mold playthings sold on the street, half of which are from the Xiahou family.
It is rumored that the ancestor of the Xiahou family was a carpenter, and fortunately the immortals lit it, and on the 7749th day of Tianyin, he suddenly had an epiphany, and then he had this family business.
At this moment, in the courtyard outside Xiahou's house in the city, a handsome young man half-lying in a wooden wheelchair looked at the children frolicking in the courtyard with envy.
The wheelchair boy looked at it all afternoon, and the children in the courtyard walked one after another, until a fire cloud appeared in the sky, and the boy pulled the bronze buckle on the armrest.
It is also strange to say that the wooden wheelchair actually moved forward automatically between the young man pulling and putting it down. When he was about to walk to the corner of the courtyard, the young man lightly touched the pedal with his foot, and the miraculous wheelchair turned a corner on its own, cleverly avoiding the courtyard wall at the corner.
The boy's name is Jin Yue, and his mother, Xiahou Yurong, is the sister of Xiahou Chun, the contemporary head of the Xiahou family. It stands to reason that with such a birth, Jin Yue's status in the Xiahou family should be very noble. It's just because of Jin Yue's father, who he has never met, makes his identity extremely embarrassing.
Sixteen years ago, Jin Yue's mother, Xiahou Yurong, was ordered to go out to deal with the affairs of the clan, and this time she went for more than half a year. When she returned to Xiahou's house, she was already several months pregnant.
The patriarch's sister was pregnant before marriage, which set off a lot of turmoil at that time. What's even worse is that who is this child's father, Xiahou Yurong gritted her teeth and didn't say a word.
Xiahou's family is a high-ranking family, and the family rules are extremely strict. What's more, a woman is pregnant before marriage, whether in the eyes of the clan or the poor, it is a great crime against morals.
Under pressure from the clan, his brother Xiahou Chun had no choice but to cross his sister's name from the family tree. I thought that this matter should come to an end here. Who knows, that Xiahou Yurong actually gave birth to this child.
Some of the good people in the clan stopped doing it, and they insisted on making a fuss about the child to invade the pig cage and drown him alive. If it weren't for Xiahou Chun's efforts, he was afraid that Jin Yue's little life would be gone.
In the end, Jin Yue's life was saved, but his mother Xiahou Yurong died of illness shortly after giving birth to Jin Yue. It is also strange to say that this disease is also strange, even Dr. Yan, who has the best medical skills in the city, cannot diagnose the cause.
The successive disasters made his brother Xiahou Chun exhausted, and swore in front of his sister that he must raise Jin Yue into a talent. It's a pity that things didn't go as planned. When Jin Yue was five years old, somehow, he fainted in the room for no reason.
Since then, the more active Jin becomes, the more he faints, and his own qi and blood become weaker and weaker. In the end, he could only rely on a wheelchair as a means of transportation.
In order to cure Jin Yue's strange disease, Xiahou Chun can be said to have visited famous doctors all over the world, but the conclusion is that "this disease is unheard of, it is a strange disease in the world, and the old man can't do anything." ”
Gradually, Jin Yue also gave up "treatment", and the only pleasure was to lock himself in his room to read a book, and occasionally come to the courtyard to stay all day to see the children frolicking in the courtyard.
On the way back and forth, everyone didn't see it, what should they do. For more than ten years, most Xiahou people have become accustomed to this dispensable teenager.
Fortunately, his uncle gave him the status of an "elder apprentice", and when the people in the clan saw Jin Yue, they also politely addressed Young Master Yue. But that's limited to that, after all, everyone can see that the more you tie up the gold, the more you have no profit to be gained. This is the reality, even if the miscellaneous servants in the house need to know how to judge the situation and avoid the evil.
Jin Yue drove out of the courtyard in a wheelchair and came to a long corridor that ran through the inner and outer courtyards. Although the Xiahou family is not a relative of the emperor, this mansion is so big, but it is the first in the entire Pengyuan City.
Different from ordinary rich and noble families, the Xiahou family's mansion is divided into two courtyards. This outer courtyard is mostly inhabited by the subordinates in the mansion and some collateral clansmen, while the inner courtyard is naturally inhabited by the direct relatives of the Xiahou family. If you want to travel between the inner and outer courtyards, you must first pass through this corridor that connects the two courtyards.
Although Jin Yue's mother was drawn out of the family tree, after all, she has the identity of an elder, and she lives in the East Cross Courtyard with her uncle's family.
The East Cross Courtyard is one of the four courtyards in the inner courtyard, and it is also the place where the patriarchs of the past dynasties lived, which has extraordinary significance for the entire Xiahou family.
Although the scale of the three courtyards in the southwest and north is not inferior to that of the east courtyard, in the hearts of the people, it is always half shorter.
Jin Yue drove the wheelchair slowly forward in the corridor, his heart full of bitterness.
It's been ten years, and Jin Yue has been haunted by this strange disease for ten years. He should have relied on his own efforts to make his mother's name re-enacted. But now, he is like a wasted person, spending the rest of his life all day long. The bitterness of this is probably something that only Jin Yue himself can understand.
Just when Jin Yue had mixed feelings, a group of richly dressed teenagers suddenly walked across the corridor, looking at their posture, it seemed that they were talking about something.
"This time I debated, Cousin Yu was really a blockbuster, and even Elder Qing Yao was full of praise for his cousin. ”
"Cousin Yu is the eldest grandson of the third old lady, and he has such a talent in the machine, it seems that the leader of the "Tianshu Organ Competition" a year later is none other than my cousin. ”
"Cousin Yu's qualifications are not limited to the leader of the Tianshu Organ Competition, if it continues to develop like this, even if he is the head of the family, for his cousin, it is like picking up something. ”
These teenagers are like stars and moons, surrounded by a handsome young man, and their words are full of flattery. Although the handsome young man's mouth was a word of modesty, his eyes were full of enjoyment.
Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to this group of teenagers, the bronze buckle in Jin Yue's hand became more and more urgent, as if he intended to avoid the other party.
"Huh?"
The handsome man who was originally like the stars holding the moon, swept his afterglow, and just saw Jin Yue galloping ahead, ready to pass by. There was a light sigh in his mouth, and a few hints of mockery flashed in his eyes.
"Cousin Yue shouldn't call Brother Yue Xian, Brother Yue Xian is in a hurry, where are you going?
The handsome man said in a strange voice, motioning to the surrounding teenagers to block Jin Yue's way.
"Young Master Yu" Jin Yue, who was blocked from going to the road, was stunned and saluted with both hands. According to the family rules, Jin Yue's mother was drawn out of the family tree, and Jin Yue was not considered a relative of the Xiahou family. Even living in the inner courtyard, it was Xiahou Chun who gave him the status of an "elder apprentice", so he lived in it justifiably.
At this moment, the handsome young man deliberately lost his mouth and called "cousin", and then changed his words to a virtuous brother, which was deliberately mocking Jin Yue's life experience.
The handsome young man's name is Xiahou Yu, and he is the eldest grandson of Xiahou Wolong, the third old lady of the Xiahou family. His father Xiahou Fei and his uncle Xiahou Chun are the same generation, if Jin Yue's mother is not drawn out of the family tree, according to the example, Jin Yue should also be called "cousin".
The third old lady in the mouth of everyone just now has a very high prestige in Xiahou's family, and in terms of seniority, he is even higher than his uncle Xiahou Chun. The two often confront each other in the clan because of disagreements, which indirectly caused two major factions to be formed in the clan, and they fought openly and secretly for decades. To say that Xiahou Yurong was drawn out of the family tree at the beginning, Xiahou Wolong's "credit" during this period is not small.
