It is also the tallest building in the West City of Qianjing.

The building's name, Cheng'en, was built by the daughter-in-law of a certain Duke of Jingnan after she was promoted to the empress.

The high-rise building faces the lake and is located in a delicate garden with verdant greenery and exotic flowers.

This building and this garden, at the beginning of its construction, have always been talked about by the powerful and powerful in Qianjing, but it is only part of the ultimate imperial favor that the Zhao family of the Duke's Mansion has enjoyed since the founding of the country.

A hundred years ago, the ancestors of the Zhao family helped Emperor Xiang's Taizu to establish the country. Taizu smiled and said, "Can my children and grandchildren marry your daughter?" In the next hundred years, the two families were married from generation to generation.

But this generation, the new emperor has just ascended the throne, the eldest miss of the Zhao family has long been married, and the second miss of the Zhao family, who has been famous for a long time, now chooses to be a superintendent...

Cheng'en roof.

A solitary man was drinking with his head up.

He sits alone on the eaves, holding the sword in one hand and the wine jar lightly in the other, the wind is high, and the moonlight accompanies the wine, but he does not admire the moon, but looks down at a brightly lit house somewhere Abandon.

Whenever he drank the wine in his hand, he gently threw the wine jar out of the building.Just bring it up again.

I remember that the half-eldest always liked to play downstairs with two "little valet".

Because the Cheng'en Tower will only open when the distinguished guests come to visit or on the Double Ninth Festival, and the elders of the house have always prohibited children from climbing the heights.

So what was hidden in the tallest building in the world in his eyes became one of the biggest doubts in the little brains of the three of them when they were young.

That brat who likes to show off always swears that the man-eating monster that was suppressed by the Confucian sage with a book as heavy as a mountain is locked in the building, which is no less scary than the big water monster that he defeated hidden in the nearby lake. .

Whenever that time, the young lady always listened to his nonsense with a serious face, nodding and shaking her head from time to time, and when she heard the scary part, she quickly grabbed the corner of his clothes with both hands, her face turned pale.

And Qian'er, who is timid and small, is always the first to be scared to tears, squatting on the ground to cover her ears, and turning her back to her young lady and brother Rong'er.

From spring to autumn, that kid always seems to be able to come up with a variety of ways to play, and lead the young lady and Qian'er to run around in the garden year-round.

In spring, I rode a horse with a bamboo pole to the back mountain to pick green plums, dig bamboo shoots, make fishing rods, and fish for shrimps; I know; in autumn, I take a cloth bag to a farm outside the city to pick fruit, play house, play hide-and-seek, and fly a kite.In winter, make a red snowman with cold hands, cut paper, set off firecrackers, and light fireworks.

The young lady would go out with him in a white dress in the morning, and come back in a "black dress" in the evening, and she would have to be lectured by her Aunt Liu.

But the next day, he jumped around and ran out with him in a different way.

The young lady is very quiet, but when she is with that stinky boy, she becomes very noisy.

The man with the sword raised his head and took a sip, and then shook the wine jar. There was not a drop left, and he threw it out.

The three children like to pick up the fragments of the wine jar downstairs and float around the lake.

At first it was a trick that the stinky boy learned from the older children in the foreign government. Later, he taught the young lady and Qian'er, and the three of them came to play frequently.

At first, of course, it was the kid who could bounce the most, but later, as the young lady and Qian'er gradually practiced, the number of times they floated and bounced naturally increased.

But what's interesting is that every time he wins, it's the same kid, so he is proud of himself again, while the young lady always sits quietly with her chin on her back and listens carefully, smiling and smiling, while Qian'er is uncooperative. Expose his old bottom, so there is another burst of childish bickering...

Those images of the past will never appear again.

When did it start to change?

Probably when Zhao Xiaozi entered a private school, and the young lady and Xiao Qianer began to practice under the care of themselves and others.

The three children began to know that men and women have different etiquette, and they were no longer as clueless as they used to be.

Later, the stinky boy learned some Confucian bullshit knowledge, so it became more and more boring, and it was all about opening and closing, said the sage.

Then, there was the engagement between Miss and him when he was 12 years old...

Haha, stinky boy, you have never been wronged by being able to join my family! ?

If it wasn't for your family's dedication to Miss Zhao from Nanxiaoyaozhou, how could the old man and Mr. Bai agree to let you in.

The man holding the sword suddenly dropped the wine jar and stood up holding the sword.

Because he saw the dimly lit red house that he had been staring at just now, and came out dressed in red.

The shadowy figure left quickly, getting faster and faster, in the dark night, as if trying to escape from something terrifying.

Did the kid still decide to leave?

He sighed.

In the end, I didn't actually feel much pity, just a little heartache for my half-jug of wine.If I knew earlier, I wouldn't give it.

"You broke the rules."

Someone behind said.

The man holding the sword turned a deaf ear, just tightened the sword in his arms, returned to the original place, tilted his head, and drank the wine.

As if the tall old man behind him did not exist.

"Mr. Bai said before, let's not interfere with these private matters."

The tall old man walked up to the man with the sword, looked him in the eyes, and continued, "What kind of wine is that?"

"this one?"

The man holding the sword raised the wine jar in his hand, and suddenly smiled brightly: "When I first came to the Zhao Mansion, my daughter Hong, who I personally buried for the young lady, has just turned 17 years old, old man, do you want to take a sip?"

The tall old man still stared at him, expressionless, and repeated: "What kind of wine is that?"

The sword-holding man twitched the corners of his mouth and slowly put down the raised wine jar.

"Huangliang forgets worry about wine."

His eyes were a little reminiscent. "An old friend gave it to me. He said that this wine can make people dream big, as if they have experienced one more life. After waking up, they can realize the value of this life."

"I drank half a pot back then, and the effect was good."

The man laughed at himself and continued: "That kid Yumu's head, I think he really needs it, so I stuffed him with the remaining half of the pot."

The tall old man was silent for a moment, and after leaving the sentence "I will not be an example", he turned around and walked away slowly.

The sword-holding man quietly breathed a sigh of relief.But then a word from a distance made his eyelids jump.

"I will report to Mr. Bai. As for the lady...you have to tell her the truth."

Chapter 4 I am also a pedestrian

Zhao Rong woke up by himself this time.

He didn't open his eyes for the first time, but first pricked up his ears and listened.

Very good, no movement from that girl.

He breathed a sigh of relief, opened his eyes, and stood up.

A few beams of morning light came in from the window and spread out in front of the bed.

It's still the quaint house he was reborn from, but since she left that night, he has lived alone for the past three days.

With such a big bed, I sleep alone... don't say it, it's comfortable!What else do you need a bike for?He muttered.

In the past few days, he had a deeper understanding of the surrounding environment, and at the same time, he also remembered more things.

The Great Chu Dynasty was very large, somewhat similar to the Han Dynasty in his own world.

At the same time, it is small, because Wangquezhou is bigger, and it is only a medium-sized dynasty in the southwest of Wangquezhou.

Not to mention the Xuanhuang Realm that Gui said.

The Duke's Mansion of Jingnan is one of the top nobles in Great Chu, and the title is hereditary.And every generation has children who enter Xianmen to practice.

Especially among these two generations, Zhao Lingfei's father Zhao Che was once the direct descendant of the Ziqi Pavilion, the largest immortal sect in the surrounding countries.

But for some unknown reason, he voluntarily gave up the chance to inherit the throne, and traveled with his mother Zhao Lingfei, who was also a disciple of Ziqi Pavilion, but when he returned from the trip, only the pregnant mother Zhao was left.

Concubine Zhao Ling, who inherited her father's cultivation talent, even surpassed it.

At the age of 14, he entered the inner sect of the Ziqi Pavilion and was promoted to a purple-clothed disciple. At the age of 15, he participated in the trial and assessment of a certain holy place of cultivation, and then went to that holy place with the number one in the southwest of Yizhou.

I heard that there is also a top-notch.

These are all what he heard from Zhao Qian'er's mouth.

She also said that a lot of toads wanted to eat swan meat outside, but they could only eat ashes, because the young lady ignored it, and she gave him a sideways glance after speaking.

The little girl praised her young lady as the only one in the sky and unparalleled on earth.It seems that if he doesn't know how to cherish it, then he is really the number one elm in the sky...

Thinking of that girl, Zhao Rong couldn't help but itch again.

Although she said she would ignore him that night in her bridal chamber, she still ran over to wake him up early the next morning, either scratching his tickling with her hair or pinching his nose with her little hands. trouble.

He was very annoyed, but he still succumbed to the little girl's "promiscuous danger",

Because whenever Zhao Rong couldn't help but get angry, she seemed to be able to accurately grasp the timing, suddenly stopped all movements, pinched the corners of the skirt with two small hands, and her smart peach eyes were filled with tears, bowing her head timidly. He glanced at him stealthily, sniffed, and muttered:

"Uuuu, Brother Rong'er thinks I'm annoying now, uuu..."

Zhao Rong surrendered.

He couldn't stand the girl's tears the most, so he hurriedly coaxed her softly.

However, this little girl is also a master who can't hold back. The next second, she burst into tears and laughed. She hurriedly covered her mouth and said earnestly, "Forgive you this time, and I won't be cruel to Qian'er again next time~"

"..." He wanted to slap himself.

A few days ago, he got up early to accompany her to go to the Yinjing Lake for morning exercises in the mansion, and the girl euphemistically called him to help him exercise.

But then Zhao Rong found out that Concubine Zhao Ling would practice in Huxin Pavilion every morning...

In the past few days, except for the first day after the bridal chamber, when Qian'er was meticulously dressed up and dragged to visit the old lady, uncle, aunt and other elders, she met Zhao Lingfei who was about to leave on the corridor outside the main hall.

I haven't seen each other at other times, and she seems to be avoiding herself on purpose...

And that meeting in the corridor, she was just expressionless, her eyes passed by indifferently, he stopped his footsteps, turned around and called a few times, trying to explain the misunderstanding last night, but she turned a deaf ear, and the footsteps remained the same, gradually go away.

The stewards and servants who passed by quietly looked sideways with strange expressions on their faces.

He didn't feel embarrassed either, put away the hand that was raised in the air, smiled freely, and also turned away.That's fine, let yourself cut off the thoughts that you shouldn't have as soon as possible.

In fact, he probably already knew his own situation.

In the past few days, he has seen many Zhao family members, and the old lady of the house has also visited once. She is the pillar of the Zhao family at present.

How can such a large family property and such monstrous power of the Duke of Jingnan's mansion be maintained?

External need for imperial grace, internal need for monks.

Only powerful monks are the foundation of the rich and powerful family!And the worship of foreign surnames is unreliable after all, this powerful monk must also be surnamed Zhao.

However, among the recent two generations of the Zhao family, only Zhao Lingfei and her father have been outstanding in their cultivation. The latter has been missing for many years. The only remaining Zhao Lingfei is talented, but she is a woman after all.

This is also the reason why the new emperor had just ascended the throne, and it was a good time to marry and consolidate the friendship of the heavenly family, but the Zhao family would rather the new emperor be grumpy than let Concubine Zhao Ling marry outside.

The old lady Zhao obviously cultivated Concubine Zhao Ling as his successor. The reason why he chose such a door-to-door son-in-law was that he and Concubine Zhao Ling were childhood sweethearts, and the people in the house watched them grow up and knew the roots.

The most important thing is probably that because she is a sour scholar who has no power to restrain a chicken, Zhao Lingfei can easily be overwhelmed.

You can slap your face at will in the public, but you can only swallow your voice, otherwise you will get out, and don't eat this bowl of rice from the Duke of Jingnan.

Hey, my husband is down, how can soft rice be so delicious?

Thinking like this, he suddenly understood a little bit of his former self. Now that he has almost figured out the situation, it is better to pack up, prepare some silver taels, and leave here early.

In fact, the original body had the idea of ​​leaving before, and even packed her luggage, but for some reason it was delayed until Concubine Zhao Ling returned to the house to get married.

The original is going all the way south, to the Nanxiaoyaozhou that his mother once said to look for his hometown. For this reason, he entrusted Zhao Lingfei's second brother, Zhao Kuo, who has always had a good relationship with him, to help him buy a mountain monk. intercontinental ferry tickets.

Of course the price was high, but he also asked Zhao Kuo to help pawn some bits and pieces left by his mother...

Thinking of the second dandy brother who was well-mannered, reliable, but also very slippery, Zhao Rong grinded his teeth, not knowing how many kickbacks he took.

Forget it, relying on others, entrusting people to do things can only be like this.

Waiting for a suitable opportunity, I immediately flash people, first according to the original plan, go to Nanxiaoyaozhou to find a hometown, and treat it as a trip along the way to enjoy the scenery of this world.

Speaking of whether the cross-continental ferry of the monks on the mountain can fly, is there a portal in this world, and the kind that passes by with a swish...

I was sitting on the bed thinking about these things, when suddenly the door was pushed open with a creak.

This girl doesn't knock on the door.Zhao Rong sighed and got up to greet him.

I saw three girls standing outside the door.

The one in the middle is a round-faced girl with a double bun and a pink ribbon in her hair. She has a small nose and a slightly pointed chin. The most attractive is the pair of peach blossom eyes, her eyes are drunk and charming.

And behind her were two pretty maids with trays in their hands.

Seeing Zhao Rong coming to greet her, Qian'er held her hands behind her back and smiled beautifully.
