I want my green plum to become a phoenix (rebirth)

"Crack—————" There was a dull heavy sound, and as the sun rose, the officers and soldiers guarding the north gate of Xianyang City yawned and slowly opened the gate.Before they turned their heads and shouted to the people inside and outside the city gate to line up quietly, they saw a master and a servant, riding a green horse and a donkey, trotting out of the city gate without paying attention to them.

The officers and soldiers waiting to guard the gate remembered that they hadn't checked their way out of the city yet, and when they wanted to call them back, it was too late—whether they had a way out was irrelevant, but it was a pity that they missed two copper coins for crossing the road , Let the officers and soldiers regret it when they think of it.

"Master, we obviously have a way to guide us, why did you rush out of the city gate just now?" Although the master and servant had already walked for a while, the movement of the gatekeeper behind him chasing a few steps out was not hidden. This pair of masters and servants, the servant riding on a mixed donkey has a round face and is very fair. If it weren't for the book boy's attire, it would look like the young master of a rich family in the city from a distance.

The "master" riding in front of the green horse is not very old, he looks only thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing a bamboo green straight suit, and there are two bookcases hanging on the back of the saddle. Know: This must be a young man from a rich family who came out to school with his book boy.Hearing what the servant behind him said, he slightly pulled the rein in his hand, slowed down the speed of the horse, and turned around to teach the little book boy, "Why do you still not understand after walking for so many days? Those guarding the city gate don't care at all. Do you have a guide, the deduction of the toll is the real thing."

"That's only two copper coins, master..." The book boy seemed to have been raised by a rich man, and he didn't understand the benefits of money, or maybe he was used to being extravagant in his daily life, and he really didn't put those few pennies in his pocket. in the eyes.In terms of words, he is even more frivolous than the heads of ordinary middle-class families.

The man on the horse was also a little speechless to such a little bookboy, but he didn't say anything serious to the little bookboy, he just smiled helplessly: Although the little bookboy is innocent by nature and ignorant of worldly affairs, but to himself There is nothing to say about his loyalty.Because of this, I dared—and only dared to bring him to Xi'an Mansion.

"The two copper coins really don't matter." He suppressed his temper and explained to the little book boy, "I'm afraid they will be greedy, bully me when I was young, and keep us there and entangle us - Xianyang City is only half a day away from Jingyang County We left the city early in the morning just to get to Jingyang as soon as possible, so that the following things can proceed, how can we have so much free time and this group of guards at the city gate?"

"They still dare to detain you, master?" The little book boy obviously didn't know as much about the filth and darkness of the world as his master did. He widened his round eyes, he couldn't believe it, and he was a little resentful, "If If they dare to stop you, master, then let's invite the prefect to see if anyone else dares to stop you!"

Not only was he speechless, but the young master was about to have a headache. He patted his forehead lightly, and wondered how many times in his mind whether it was the right choice to bring this little servant out.But——he didn't know what to think of, and there was a hint of sternness in his slightly immature eyes that didn't match his age, and in the next moment, all of these were covered up, leaving only a face full of connivance.

"Okay, yesterday I had no choice but to go to the magistrate, and I don't want to go to him today, lest he really send a pair of soldiers to take me to Jingyang... don't talk about Xianyang, can you Remember, when you get to Jingyang, you must cover it up and don't reveal my identity."

"Understood, master!" The little book boy has been told many times along the way, he didn't dare to turn his eyes on his master, but inadvertently showed a trace of impatience, "Master, don't worry , when did I mess up the errand you gave me?"

The young master smiled and stopped arguing, "That's good, let's go quickly, maybe we can have lunch at Chongming Academy in time!" He smiled loudly, raised his hand and waved his horsewhip.

"Sigh, I don't know what's so good about this Chongming Academy. The young master left it alone..." The little book boy muttered in a low voice, while urging the donkey under him to chase after the master in front of him.

On the dusty loess road under the sun, a master, a servant, a horse and a donkey ran forward joyfully.

***

Not only this pair of master and servant, but also the morning of their destination - Chongming Academy has already begun.

The wooden door was knocked two or three times in a row, and Anilian opened her eyes, stretched her arms and yawned a little, then lifted the quilt and got out of bed.The person who knocked on the door had already left after hearing the commotion in the house. Hearing the commotion, Hui Niang guessed that she should have gone to the opposite west wing to knock on the door of her cousin Shanniang. Looking at the bronze mirror on the table, he tied his hair on top of his head in a boyish bun, and quietly opened the door to the ear room to fetch hot water for washing.

Chongming Academy is backed by Qinjia Village, Jingyang County, and it is also quite famous in the hearts of students all over the world. If it was one or two decades earlier, it would be regarded as one of the best large academies in Jiangbei. The disciples ranged from a dozen to as many as dozens. There was even a year in the palace examination. The number one scholar, Tanhua, and Erjia Chuanlu all came from Chongming Academy, which made Chongming Academy the most popular among Shilin disciples.

Although there has been no such grand event in the past ten years, it is not enough to fall into the name of the ancestors. There are always a few Jinshi in each subject, so that the world will not forget this academy.Animian's cousin Qin Mengzhang's family has been the leader of Chongming Academy for generations. Qin Mengzhang himself, as the current dean of Chongming Academy, can be called a great contemporary Confucian, but his cousin's family has always been strict and simple, and he doesn't pay much attention to food, clothing and housing. Therefore, although it is famous all over the world, the whole family only lives in a small courtyard behind the academy, one in front and one behind the academy, built between Qinjia Village and Beizhong Mountain.

Fortunately, there are not many people living in the second small courtyard of the Qin family. Qin Mengzhang's brothers have already separated to live elsewhere. Du, she has three children, two boys and one girl, and the only one who is still raised at home is Anise.

Speaking of the relationship between Hui Niang and Qin Mengzhang, it is quite complicated.Qin Mengzhang and Hui Niang's biological mother are two cousins, and at the same time, they are brothers of the same clan as Hui Niang's biological father. Although the house is far apart, in terms of genealogy, Hui Niang should still call Qin Mengzhang "Cousin"—outside In front of people, it is true that Hui Niang always calls her "Tang Shu", but in private, the two families always discuss the relationship between Hui Niang's biological mother.

While sorting out the miscellaneous thoughts in his mind, he scooped water into the kettle, and quickly scooped up more than half of the kettle.Seeing that there was enough for her own washing, Hui Niang put the water ladle back on the side of the stove, carried the copper kettle with both hands, and went out.

As soon as he walked out of the anteroom, when he looked up, he saw his cousin Shanniang coming in with two big thick black braids while she was arranging her dress, "Cousin." Seeing Huiniang, Shanniang hurriedly greeted her and looked her up and down. Hui Niang's attire - You Qi's eyes lingered on the bun on her head for a moment, and she said enviously, "Cousin, you are going to the academy today, are you going to school with brother and the others?"

Hui Niang nodded with a smile, and told her cousin, "Shan Niang, there is still a lot of hot water in the pot, be careful when scooping up water, don't burn your hands."

"Thank you, cousin." Shanniang blinked, her eyes still lingering on Huiniang.

After fulfilling her duty as an elder sister, Huiniang stopped paying attention to Shanniang, but continued to walk forward with the water bottle—in fact, Shanniang didn't have much time to waste looking at herself, she left After two steps, feeling that envious but not jealous eyes were still staring at her back, she turned her head and reminded Shanniang, "I just saw Aunt Zhang going there, presumably to prepare breakfast... you If you don't act faster, you will be scolded by your aunt again when you are late."

"Ah!" Shanniang just woke up, patted herself on the forehead, gave Huiniang a grateful look, walked into the ear room in two or three steps, scooped water into another copper pot to wash up.

Hui Niang smiled again, and went back to her room in the east chamber with the water bottle.

Although Qin Mengzhang's secondary courtyard is not big, but because of the small population in the family, there are no other servants except a couple of helpers, but it will be enough to live there.Qin Mengzhang's study is in the front yard. Besides, Qin Mengzhang's eldest son Qin Jiahong and youngest son Qin Jiadai also live in the outer courtyard.The inner courtyard is occupied by Mrs. Zou and her two girls. Except Mrs. Zou occupying the main room, Aniang lives in the east wing, and Shanniang lives in the west wing, so it is not too crowded.

Pour water into the basin in the corner of the room, test the temperature of the water, first turn around and use the willow branches and green salt on the shelf to wipe your teeth and rinse your mouth, then turn around again, clean your face carefully with clean water, and finally dry it with a towel and wipe it off. She stood in front of the bronze mirror and adjusted her hair and the robe for the last time—she was going to the academy to study with the boys today, and it was quite inconvenient for her to dress up as a woman, and she was afraid that outsiders would know about her beak, so Zou In the same night, he changed a dress that the eldest son, Qin Jiahong, wore too small, for Hui Niang, so that it would be convenient for her to go to the academy.

She rubbed the cuffs slightly with her fingers, feeling the fine stitches on them——a woman disguised as a man to study in the academy seemed a bit unfair to her, but her uncle and aunt couldn't help agreeing on the spot, and it took a lot of effort. She tried her best to help her find a way to cover up, and cared about her relatives so much, why did she listen to slander and alienate them in her previous life?

Squinting her eyes, although the bronze mirror couldn't clearly see her face, Aninian knew that the expression on her face at this moment should be somewhat resentful.

Last life... last life...

"Those are all in the past." She looked at herself in the bronze mirror and murmured softly.

The most important thing now is to live a new life, she has to live a different life from her previous life!
