I was the heir in ancient times

There was a golden-roofed carriage going out from Chaoyangmen in the capital, and after detouring South Street, two servants, one big and one small, bent over, jumped out of the carriage. Pulling back the curtain, he said softly to the nobleman inside: "Seventh Young Master, Bo Young Master, the Guanyin Temple Street is here."

"Oh? I'll go down and have a look first!" A clear milking sound came from inside immediately, and then a five-year-old child with a child's bud head pulled out a small head with missing teeth from the carriage.

A pair of smart and beautiful big eyes on the small head looked around at the excitement leaking from the entrance of the alley, and then quickly greeted the little friends in the carriage: "There are really a lot of people, come, let's go and have a look, anyway, it's still early Li, I heard that there is nothing but tea in their seminars, let's go there after filling our stomachs."

After finishing speaking, the little guy stepped on the stool and got out of the low-key but luxurious carriage, followed by a child with cold pale skin and dark blue eyes.

The two got out of the carriage, and the latter asked one of the servants to wait in the carriage, and the servant named Guixi was called to go with them. As for where to go and what to eat, the little guy who took the lead had no idea I don't know, just like a little duck that has finally been liberated, it swayed and opened its yellow fluffy wings and rushed towards the crowd.

"Gu Xiaoqi!" Bo Yanliang pulled him back with a frown, held hands, and said, "It's agreed that we're only here to eat a bowl of noodles, don't run around, we only have enough time to eat a bowl of noodles, and then You must go to the Liu Mansion."

The kid named Gu Xiaoqi was dressed in an ordinary way, even the gold nuggets on the red string on the wrist were rough, but he was really cute in appearance, and he was very cute when he smiled.

He turned his head and raised his eyebrows at his little friend, and taught, "What are you doing so early? We must be the last to arrive."

Bo Yanliang followed Xiaoqi out of the alley, and the two villains immediately fell into a sea of ​​tall people: "Go early to be polite, you go later, what's the point?"

Gu Xiaoqiyu said earnestly: "Generally, big shots are the last to appear on the stage, and the most powerful people are also the last to appear. It is obvious that the person who arrives last is the most powerful. We must crush them in terms of momentum! Understand! Yet?"

Bo Xiaolang smiled immediately, his eyebrows and eyes were very handsome, and there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes: "What kind of nonsense is this?"

"Just ask if you are right!"

"It seems so." After Bo Yanliang said, he looked around with his head, and Gu Xiaoqi, who was very fond of the bustle, entered a small stall with a lot of business.

The vendor set up two square tables on the street, and the tables were full of people, and some of them just took noodles and squatted on the side to eat. A stool was placed in front of them, which was considered a table.

"This one seems to be pretty good." Bo Yanliang said while pulling Gu Xiaoqi to the boss, facing the steaming cauldron in front of him, the beaming boss said, "Two bowls, add a lion's head And eggs, no green onions."

Gu Xiaoqi hastily added: "I want it! I want it! Chopped green onions are so delicious!"

"He wants chopped green onions, please hurry up, we are in a hurry."

The shop selling small noodles saw two young masters, and hurriedly greeted his wife to make room for the customers who had finished eating, and then quickly grabbed two balls of wrapped fine noodles and scooped up two handfuls in the boiling water. Finally, the bamboo spoon was raised high, and a ball of noodles fell into the big bowl with seasonings, and served in front of the two young masters.

Gu Xiaoqi and Bo Yanliang took the bowls and went to the empty seats, Bo Yanliang grabbed the chopsticks and wanted to use them, but Gu Xiaoqi stopped him and asked Guixi to help iron the chopsticks, saying: "It's better to wash them."

Bo Xiaolang really wanted to say, since everyone is out to eat, there is no need to be so particular about it, who knows if the bowl will be clean?But after thinking about it, he swallowed the words again, so as not to affect the good mood of a certain child.

In Gu Xiaoqi's opinion, the noodles are really not as good as those made by the old lady in the palace, but what they eat is the atmosphere!

When eating, there are performers, beggars, hawkers, bargainers, and a few policemen with big knives hanging from their waists, patrolling while eating big pancakes. This kind of capital is the capital, not the original one. When they came, there were beggars kneeling at the gates of the city...

Thinking of this, Gu Xiaoqi swallowed the noodles in his mouth, and asked the omniscient Bo Xiaolang next to him: "By the way, where have all the people who rushed here from all over the place gone?"

Bo Xiaolang paused, and said, "It's at the porridge market in the south."

"Did you help me find the foreigner I want to meet?"

Bo Yanliang nodded: "I found it in the temple, but I can't speak Chinese very much, I can only rely on gestures, saying that their boat was robbed a year ago. There were originally about twenty people, but many died because of the war. , now there are only ten left, and the leader is the red hair who sold the glass to the previous dynasty, wait for two days, see him again."

Gu Xiaoqi nodded, but said: "The fourth and sixth brothers will also accompany me when the time comes."

As he spoke, he took a sip of the soup with a bowl, and seeing that there was a place, he asked Guixi to buy a bowl to eat too.

Guixi just refused to do it, but Gu Xiaoqi couldn't persuade him, so he had to give up, took out a small square towel to wipe his mouth, looked at the half bowl of noodles left in the bowl, and said, "Does your bowl taste better?" Ah, let's eat instead."

Bo Yanliang looked at the noodle bowl that he ate almost cleanly, and then at the large lump of noodles in Xiaoqi's bowl that had almost melted. He wanted to refuse, but Gu Xiaoqi pitifully insisted that He looked at the more delicious bowl, so he had to nod.

Gu Xiaoqi, who got the noodles from others, was immediately happy, but he heard that his little friend ate up the noodles in two or three mouthfuls, and said to him: "Is everything about the potatoes settled?"

Gu Xiaoqi said with crooked eyes: "It's all arranged. Let's go back today. While everyone is helping me celebrate, Sixth Brother will bring out the whole bean-filled feast that I asked him to cook. Don't worry! It's absolutely delicious!"

"Just pity my Peppa, but I think its spirit in heaven should forgive me."

"But... there are not many seeds now, and we don't know how long it will take for our little potatoes to spread widely..."

Bo Yanliang interrupted him: "It's already very good. It's better than nothing. Like potatoes, one can be divided into three or four kinds. If one kind is harvested well, it can produce more than a dozen small potatoes. There can be two times a year. If it is familiar, within three years, the whole country will be able to eat it, very fast, really fast."

Gu Xiaoqi smiled, knowing that this little friend was comforting him.

"By the way, do you remember the people I told you these days?" Bo Yanliang saw that Gu Xiaoqi had almost eaten, threw three copper coins on the table, and pulled Gu Xiaoqi back to the carriage go up.

Gu Xiaoqi walked slowly and said: "Remember, remember, the four great families, King Liu Jinqu, Mr. Dong was a first-rank scholar and cabinet minister in the previous court. The Mr. Dong who is here now is Mr. Dong's grandson. I remember it all."

"Today is considered a very important day among their literati. There are more than these people who went there, but you need to remember these few people, and now the court is in turmoil. Many aristocratic families have found out that they have contacts with the remnants of the previous dynasty. , ransacked the house, although the rightful owner did not move, there must have been a lot of complaints, and he wanted to consolidate his position at this meeting, Xiao Qi, do you understand?"

Gu Xiaoqi naturally understands that the old father and the third brother have been busy dealing with the remnants of the previous dynasty in the past few months, but after a long time, Gu Xiaoqi can see that they are actually dealing with the remnants of the previous dynasty Under the guise of ransacking homes to collect grain to fill the treasury.

The four great families themselves had close ties with the previous dynasty before, and only the Liu family expressed their attitude to relocate their family back to Shandong, their ancestral home, and then let the children of the family follow the Gu family to fight the world, so now if you want to pick on the faults of the four great families, it is really a one-on-one choice .

Gu Xiaoqi has never been to the court again, but he can imagine how tense the situation is now from the few words Bo Yanliang described to him.The old man, who was so nervous that he should have been enthroned three months ago, dragged the time until today and has not officially enthroned.

But the old man still treats the aristocratic family very well now, as long as people come to see him, he treats them with courtesy, but the next day, as long as the letters with the fugitive Lao Guozhang are found out, all of them will be sent to prison without mercy. After being imprisoned, Dad was even more distressed than the four great families. He grabbed their hands first and then sighed.

The Patriarchs of the Four Great Aristocratic Families are probably very anxious. Without arms and thighs, only the body is left. Who is not in a hurry?But the body is enshrined well, wearing decent clothes, seeing the lord whenever he wants to see the lord, the honor is still there, so he can't say a bad word, and he has to applaud his relatives and friends who have been arrested, and kill relatives righteously.

Gu Xiaoqi can imagine what kind of expressions these people will have when they see her, it may be very complicated, after all, her reputation has been bad in the past three months, what almost made Mr. mad, fooled the teacher, arrogant Complacent, even a child prodigy will surely be like Fang Zhongyong in the future, "disappearing from everyone".

Gu Xiaoqi doesn't care about this, because Bo Yanliang told him that if he is so strong that no one can touch him, all the rumors and gossips will be paper, all the eccentricities will be imitated, all the A bad temper will be called true temperament, no matter how lecherous it is, it will be called flirtatious, and no matter how much gambling is, it will be called chic. Mr. Bo is a famous example.

Here, they got on the carriage slowly, and Gu Xiaoqi and Brother Bo, who were about to go to Liu's mansion, continued to talk about the grand occasions of the previous symposiums, but they didn't know that the two of them were also in the ears of the symposium at the moment.

Curious, contemptuous, and... expectant.

There are unprecedented numbers of visitors from the four great families this time, needless to say the Liu family, everyone from Mr. Liu to Mrs. Liu are all dressed up grandly, waiting for the distinguished guests.

When Mr. Wang's old man came, he was surrounded by dozens of disciples, plus three nieces of different ages.

When the head of the Jin family came, he brought a beautiful wife and concubine, a cloud of servants, and a pair of golden boys and jade girls.

When the patriarch of the Qu family, Qu Bugulai, only had a young junior with him, the junior was handsome, and anyone could tell that he was a woman disguised as a man.

The housekeeper of the Liu family welcomed dozens of guests all morning, and he kept urging his servants to prepare more curtains and gauze so that the wives and ladies could watch on both sides of the yard.

Butlers from other aristocratic families who were acquainted with each other met the butlers of the Liu family, and everyone knew each other, so they couldn't help complaining, but the housekeeper Liu said bitterly: "What's the matter today? There are more nobles and female relatives than the sons and masters, and there are even more people in the backyard. Don't leave the table!"

The steward of the Wang family smiled and patted the young man on the shoulder, and said, "You don't move now. It was said in the palace yesterday that the third, fourth, and fifth sons will all come today, even if they I won't come again temporarily, isn't there still Seventh Young Master and Bo Young Master here?"

Steward Liu was speechless, after all, his master hurriedly made the second young lady dress up better yesterday, saying that when visiting the garden today, he must impress the third young master.

While he was busy, a small doorman came forward to pass the message: "Steward Liu! Seventh Young Master's carriage is here!"

"Okay, okay! Quickly inform the master! What a bunch of useless things! Do you want me to teach you everything?!" Steward Liu scolded and trot forward, but he didn't dare to offend the seventh son, who is now well-known among the literati of the family. But the most beloved little son of the future emperor!

And finally arrived at the door of Liu's house, completely unaware that today's symposium was not only an academic battle between men, but also a beauty competition between women. Gu Xiaoqi was holding Brother Bo's arm and refused to get off the car.

"I told you to be the last one in, we came early." Gu Xiaoqi murmured.

Bo Yanliang opened the curtains and looked outside, then turned around and said, "Outside, Duke Liu came to invite you in person, followed by the heads of the three great families, you have enough face, let's go?"

Although Gu Xiaoqi is here to 'kick the hall' now, but his status is extraordinary, he thinks those old gentlemen must be very reluctant to pick him up, but there is no way, his father is awesome.

"Okay, okay, let's get out of the car and let's go!"

Satisfied, Gu Xiaoqi lifted the curtain of the car and walked out, humming the bgm of 'God of Gamblers Appears' to himself, but the next moment he heard a door shout: "The third, fourth, and fifth sons are here!"

Everyone's eyes focused on the carriage immediately, and the patriarchs of the four great families went down the steps and walked to the side of the carriage to salute Gu Xiaoqi's older brothers.

Gu Xiaoqi, who was ignored, said that she didn't cry, and the highlight moments of her brothers were her own highlight moments!

But soon, another man came out from the brothers' carriage. This man had an aura of eight meters, gray hair, young face, wise and sharp eyes, neither humble nor overbearing.

Gu Xiaoqi: Wait, am I really the protagonist today?
