So What If You've Been Reborn?

300 years ago, Wucheng, Dongning County.

Surrounded by two mountains, adjacent to a river, and with excellent terrain, it is the most affluent county in Dongning County.

At that time, the world was initially settled, the new dynasty was established, the emperor Vega spread all over the world, and the people who fled their homeland due to the war came back to farm one after another.

Ten years after the Shi family moved to Wucheng, they also became well-known merchants.

His shop was full of bright and beautiful cloth and silk, and he invited many embroiderers to make exquisite and beautiful clothes. It was the most famous "Yunjin Weaving" in Dongning County at that time.There are too many cocoons collected every year, and the income on the books is also endless.

The business is doing so well, so Shi Yuanwai is naturally very busy.

He is a person who moved out, and he has no clan support in Wucheng, so he and his confidants and stewards are all busy.

How busy are you?Seven months out of the year they do not enter the house.

The family is rich and the business is prosperous, Shi Yuanwai can be regarded as an object of envy in Wucheng.

Especially since he has two wonderful sons!The eldest son, Shi Cang, was born with a handsome face, an orchid and a jade tree, and he also practiced martial arts well.

The caravan of the Shi family was away all the year round, and the world was at peace soon. The remnants of the previous dynasty fled to the people and the soldiers who fled gathered together as bandits, causing trouble everywhere.There are many bandits and pirates, and Shi Cang's business is prosperous because of Shi Cang's credit, because all the desperadoes who dared to attack their caravan returned in defeat.

There are only two sons outside the release member, and the age difference between the eldest son and the youngest son is huge.

When matchmakers from all over the world came to match Shi Cang, Shi Feng still couldn't speak.

It stands to reason that the youngest son should be the most favored, but the Shi family broke this convention.

Probably because the business is too busy, and Shi Yuanwai doesn't even go home, how can he take care of his youngest son?I usually don't ask questions, only call to have a look at them when I get home, and ask a few words lightly-this is not bad, sometimes I come and go in a hurry, and see my youngest son in the back garden or on the corridor at home. It is too troublesome to meet and talk to delay time, so I just take a detour to avoid it.

In the snow, Shi Feng stood and watched a group of people surround his father and leave.

At that time, he was already at the age of Kaimeng, and he knew which road was the closest to his house, but because he didn't want to talk to him, Shi Yuanwai gave up the shortest road and walked away on a side path.

Shi’s family is a wealthy family in Wucheng. The house is built like a garden in the south of the Yangtze River. The Taihu Lake stones are piled up to form a green barrier. Even the promenade is separated by hollowed-out bricks. Sometimes, you feel that there is no one around, and you will see the figure behind the rockery when you look back. Shake, talk outside the house with no secrets.Not to mention that Shi Yuanwai did such an obvious thing more than once. There are many servants and maidservants who have seen this scene secretly.

——This is really impossible to say!

In this world where the father is the guide for the son, it is unreasonable for a patriarch to put aside his business and yield to his children.

——Didn’t you hear from the servants of the Shi’s family that the youngest son of the Shi’s family has never seen him before, and he has outstanding talents?

Such a good son is abandoned like a bag, which makes the Wucheng family who force their children to study poetry and books hard feel depressed!

——Hey, so what, even if you are talented, the world is peaceful!If you want to be an official, you have to take the imperial examination, so he can rely on Shijia!Ah!

Everyone understood instantly, and even Shizu smiled sarcastically.

But no, even if the family is rich, they are also merchants, scholars, farmers, businessmen, and Shijia who sell silk, but they themselves cannot wear silk. This is the etiquette of the world, and this is the way of the world!No matter how smart Shi Yuanwai's son is, he is not qualified to take the imperial examination.

What's the use of this cleverness who is good at reading poetry and books, can speak well in the future, and is proficient in literature and history?

It's no wonder that the release staff looked down on him, and he didn't take any action to hire a teacher for the youngest son!

Merchants are merchants, and they are only interested in profit.Everyone contemptuously thought, probably in the eyes of members of Shi, the youngest son who can read is a waste, far less worthy of his joy than Shi Cang, the eldest son of a mere martial artist.

The Wucheng aristocratic clan sighed for a while, and then looked lively in safety.

Things seemed to be similar to what they thought, Shi Cang was by his father's side all day long, and he was very prestigious no matter at home or outside.

After Shi Cang discounted the legs of two storekeepers who made false accounts and threw them out of Wucheng, the head of the Shi family seemed to be replaced by Shi Cang. Everyone could see this situation clearly. The two brothers were much older than each other. When Shi Feng grows up, his brother is afraid that the family business will be firmly held by his brother, and there is no room for competition.

These guys who watch the excitement and don't think it's a big deal wish Shi Feng to live for a few more years, preferably when Shi Feng is in his 30s and his wings are ready before he dies. It's a good thing if someone snatches it away!

But when I think about it, Shi Feng was just enlightened at that time, and it will take another 20 years before he can compete with his elder brother, which is far away!It's also strange for the Shi Yuanwai, the two sons under his knees are both said to be descendants, and there seem to be a few concubines in Wucheng who have nothing to do, and they don't take them back home.

Those who have good deeds arrange for the release staff to be afraid of the outside world, and their wives are comparable to the lions in the east of the river.

This rumor dissipated within a few years, and there was no one else. The hostess of the Shi family believed in Buddhism and built a small courtyard at home to worship the statue.She doesn't cut clothes or wear any jewelry, but she is extremely beautiful. The servants hired by the Shi family say in private that such a beautiful woman is the most boring person.

Like Shi Yuanwai, when the eldest son came back, she greeted him with a faint smile.

The youngest son was at home all year round, but she seldom paid attention to him, so she only called to see her on the fifteenth day of the lunar new year, and sometimes Shi Feng was shut out for three months in a row.Not to mention being sick or in pain, cold or hungry, she didn't even do it for her youngest son, let alone every year's birthday.

When the Shi family moved to Wucheng, Shi Cang was 15 years old. His mother was holding the youngest son who was only three months old. She sat in the carriage with a gloomy expression. The baby was crying hoarsely. leave.

This scene left a deep impression on the shopkeeper of the largest inn in Wucheng. After more than ten years, he still often mentions it.

But the listeners laughed and thought it was made up. How can there be such a mother?

The joke they talked about was that Shi's wife got into Qian's eyes, and Shi's wife was obsessed with empty scriptures and Buddhism, so that one day, Nuonuo, the wife who worked in Shi's house, came to tell the master whether the young master should arrest Zhou. Only then did the couple realize that several months had passed since the youngest son's first birthday.

People are quite fond of the story of this kind of stupid merchant couple, and the poor scholar who changed his tricks to mock a certain dynasty, there is such a greedy and short-sighted "Master Fei".

The homonym of release is "yes", while Fei is "no".

"It's just that in this world, how can right and wrong be so simple and clear?"

Hearing Shi Feng sigh softly, Chen He gritted his teeth slightly, his expression changed back and forth, very bad.

"Why do you look like this?" Shi Feng smiled, and quickly pulled away Chen Ho who was about to bury his head in his lapel again, and looked down at his junior brother, "Did you guess something?"

Chen He bowed his head.

He knew his senior brother, Shi Feng was never the one to tell in detail what hardships he had suffered.

Shi Feng talked about the first-year banquet, about the arrangements made by the innkeeper for his mother, about how Shi Feng repeatedly pretended not to see him and avoid him, and it was absolutely impossible to complain to his younger brother about his misfortune. There must be secrets hidden behind these things , which made Shi Feng choose to mention it.

Contacting the old Taoist Changmei again, what the Lord of the Heiyuan Valley had said, made Chen He feel even more depressed.

The Chen family broke up with him completely, but the Shi family and Shi Feng did not. Chen He understood that these strange and pitiful stories about the youngest son of the Shi family should be just the beginning...

Chen Ho pretended not to guess anything and shook his head: "Senior brother was in Wucheng back then, did you hear the story about Master Fei?"

"Not only back then, but today you can buy this storybook in Wucheng, Dongning County! People in the world have forgotten how the story came about." Shi Feng said lightly.

Chen Ho hugged Shi Feng without saying a word.

"That's not necessary. I sneaked out when I was more than ten years old. When I heard this in Wucheng teahouse, I didn't feel angry,"

Because Master Fei in the storyteller's mouth is just stupid and clumsy, just obsessed with money, forgetting, not really ignoring his young son.

When Shi Feng from Wucheng returned home in a daze, he fell seriously ill.

He wasn't angry, just sad.

There are still many details that Shi Feng did not tell Chen Ho. For example, the servants of the Shi family are afraid of the vicious Shi Yuanwai and Shi Cang, and they don't take him seriously. They are not short of clothes and food, but they are not as good as the housekeeper. The son is good.

When Shi Yuanwai was young, it was rare for Shi Yuan to come back. Shi Feng tried his best but couldn't see him. Take it away.

If he wants to win his father's favor, he wants to learn martial arts without studying. There is no one to teach him, and no one will arrange for him. He also received a lot of cynicism.

There are some books to read, but Shi Yuanwai obviously randomly asked the bookstore in the city to send a copy of all the books, without even reading the bibliography.

Otherwise, how to explain the pile of erotic atlases in the book...

This matter was leaked by the bookstore and the boy of the Shi family, and it turned out that Master Fei was ignorant, pretending to be a shelf, and asked someone to pull a cart full of books for his six-year-old son, but in the end there were all those things in it. !

The tea drinker laughed, where's Shi Feng?He knew very well that his father could read and even be educated.

Mother is so obsessed with scriptures that she can't remember her son's birthday?Shi Feng, who had read the Buddhist scriptures, knew very well that his mother couldn't even figure out what the Great Compassion Mantra was, and hadn't read a single volume of scriptures.

Among these trivial matters, Shi Feng, her son was included.

Others heard that Shu laughed happily, but no one knew about the sadness of a young man in the crowd.No one knew that the son of the idiot Master Fei in the story was not unlucky.

Shi Feng's illness lasted intermittently for two or three years.

Sometimes when he was so sick that he fainted, he vaguely saw his parents and elder brother coming in, asking for medicine and stroking his forehead.

Shi Feng thought it was a dream, but it was just the expectation in his heart, because Shi Yuan still had a gloomy face, as if someone owed him a lot of money.His mother also looked indifferent in his memory.

They eagerly shifted responsibility from each other, blaming each other for not being optimistic about Shi Feng. Although it was a quarrel, the words were very warm, a scene that could only be seen in a dream, but paired with their usual disgusted and bored faces, it seemed very ridiculous .

Shi Cang persuaded his parents by the side, and stewed supplements many times, and often came to feed him.

Although he looked at his younger brother who had a high fever and was comatose with a friendly face, occasionally there was undisguised hatred and disgust in his eyebrows and eyes, just like Shi Feng's subtle expression when he was standing behind a bush and was discovered by Shi Cang who was returning home.

After Shi Feng woke up, he looked at the empty room and smiled self-deprecatingly.

——The faces of parents and elder brothers are so profound that even in their dreams, they all look like that, how ridiculous.

At the age of 17, after Shi Feng recovered from his illness, he finally put aside all this and secretly decided to leave Wucheng.

This place is not like his home, so why should he stay here.

As a result, before he had time to leave, disaster struck the Shi family.
