Chapter 1, I have come to enjoy the blessings

The ceiling is adorned with intricately carved beams, while a soft carpet lies beneath. The walls are decorated with calligraphy and paintings; an antique display cabinet showcases jade and stone artifacts. A table against the wall is covered with a Suzhou embroidery tablecloth and features a bonsai arrangement. Additionally, some embroidered pieces and hanging screens are interspersed throughout, creating a living space that exudes opulence yet maintains a high level of elegance.

The maidservants obediently responded and then filed out, closing the door behind them

Over there, over there

Really? The maidservants were skeptical.

Father, please do not be angry; I will not act recklessly in the future.

Seeing Zhao Shouzheng unexpectedly shed tears, Zhao Hao no longer cared about the issue of face and hurriedly played the role of a dutiful son.

"To raise without teaching is the father's fault. Being a father means to be angry, but it only ends up making oneself angry; how could one be angry with you?" Yet Zhao Shouzheng shook his head and then held him even tighter. "Moreover, being a father is not about being angry; it is about feeling sad..."

A man does not shed tears lightly; he simply has not reached the point of heartbreak

The maidservants deliberately caused a commotion, and the room was filled with a cacophony of laughter and noise

Sweet and delightful, truly refreshing

After a long while, he shifted his gaze away from the mirror and began to assess his surroundings, only to find that he was in a spacious room styled in the Ming Dynasty fashion

In a moment of difficulty, Zhao Shouzheng unexpectedly embraced him, first letting out a long sigh followed by a series of short breaths, and then he began to sob sorrowfully.

However, a nearby maid, somewhat anxiously, whispered a greeting: "Second Master..."

If the cheap old man sees this chaotic scene, wouldn't he have to resort to family discipline

There was also a maid who carefully peeled the purple grapes, then gently used tweezers to remove the seeds, before finally delivering the flesh to Zhao Hao's mouth

Although Zhao Hao said he was fine, the maidservants still carefully assisted him to a low chair covered with a brocade cushion. After placing a soft pillow behind him, they allowed him to recline slightly.

Young master, it would be best to have a doctor take a look, as the head is not something to be taken lightly

"Don't believe it?" Perhaps influenced by the original owner's spirit, Zhao Hao's childlike heart surged, and he eagerly covered his face with the silk scarf again, saying with great enthusiasm:

Moreover, I am only fifteen years old, and so many wonderful days are waiting for me! I want to fully enjoy the riches of the world

How has he ever experienced such a divine enjoyment? There is a hint of embarrassment in his heart, but more so, there is a sense of secret delight

He has become a young man of the Ming Dynasty living in the city of Nanjing

What he was holding onto was indeed a middle-aged man who bore a resemblance to himself, exuding a certain bookish demeanor

Zhao Hao felt somewhat suffocated by the pressure and, not daring to act rashly, could only ask with difficulty: "What is troubling you?"

This young man shares the same name and surname as him. However, compared to his previous life's ordinary and somewhat troubled existence, this Zhao Hao, living in the Ming Dynasty, is simply extraordinarily fortunate

Zhao Hao was stunned, and the maidservants were also taken aback, all unaware of what had transpired

Yet I lament that the feast has ended and the green maidens have dispersed, the moon hangs half-tilted over the Yangtze River. I only heard Zhao Shouzheng recite a line of poetry in a desolate tone, and then he said softly: "My child, such a joyful scene will never occur again."

The key point is that Zhao Hao discovered that the face reflected in the mirror was no longer his original appearance

Zhao Hao silently exclaimed that it was not good and hurriedly tore off the face towel

It is said that Xiao Zhaohao also experienced joy turning to sorrow. For several days, he was inexplicably confined to the back courtyard of his home, feeling utterly bored. To pass the time, he began playing 'blind fishing' with the maidservants in his room. The so-called blind fishing is a game of hide and seek. When it was Xiao Zhaohao's turn to catch others while blindfolded, he accidentally bumped his head against a pillar and immediately fainted.

When I wake up again, the owner of this body has already transformed into Zhao Hao from four hundred years in the future

Can one not feel exhilarated? It is simply exhilarating beyond measure

The maidservants looked at the young master in surprise, feeling that he seemed somewhat strange after waking up

Should one kneel down and admit their mistake, or walk away with an indifferent expression

This is a round copper mirror with a silver reflective surface, reflecting a youthful and handsome face with red lips and white teeth.

One, two, three, catch the fish! As soon as I finish speaking, I will start grabbing!

However, the matter cannot be concealed any longer, and I can only speak frankly to you. You must hold on...

In the Zhao residence, the elder Zhao Liben is referred to by the servants as the Old Master. Zhao Liben has two sons, known as the Eldest Master and the Second Master. Zhao Hao is indeed the only son of the Second Master.

Naturally, he is the father of this lifetime, the second master of the Zhao residence, and Zhao Shouzheng, a student of the Imperial Academy who failed the five examinations

At this thought, Zhao Hao suddenly stood up in excitement, tightly clenching his fists.

Young master, you are deceiving...

Sigh

Only Zhao Hao and his father Zhao Shouzheng remain in the room

Fearing that any flaws might be detected, Zhao Hao pretended to be accustomed to it, enjoying this overly attentive service

"I told you, I'm fine!" Zhao Hao played his role, mimicking the tone of a fifteen-year-old boy, and confidently patted his chest as if to prove, "I can still keep playing hide and seek!"

Another maid, positioned behind the chair, gently massaged his temples with her delicate, almost boneless hands

Gazing at the youthful face of a boy no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, with his hair tied up high in a bun secured by a ribbon embedded with pearls, Zhao Hao finally realized that he had traveled through time

In a moment of daze, Zhao Hao felt as if he had returned to his childhood, blindly lunging to the east and reaching out to the west, yet always missing by a hair's breadth, unable to catch his agile opponents.

This is simply a life akin to that of Jia Baoyu, so decadent and so corrupt! Zhao Hao hypocritically criticized, yet could not help but smile at the corners of his mouth.

Although this young man lost his mother at a young age, he was greatly favored by his grandfather and father, living a life of luxury and indulgence as a wealthy young master, surrounded by attendants. He had four personal maids, two servant women, and several young boys, totaling more than ten people, all dedicated to entertaining him and serving him alone

"What happened?" Zhao Hao asked somewhat anxiously

Finally, Zhao Hao has managed to catch one.

It is hard to imagine that a bronze mirror can reflect a person with such clarity, revealing every detail, unless one sees it with their own eyes

The leading maid picked up a slender golden spoon, dipped it into a porcelain bottle to extract a small amount of green ointment, and gently applied it to the bruise that Zhao Hao had sustained, using her ring finger, which resembled a green onion.

Zhao stared at Zhao Shouzheng's disheveled face, sensing that a significant event concerning his own fate was about to unfold

"My child, as the saying goes, 'Moreover, the bond between father and son is profound.' If there is even a slight possibility for a change, a father would not wish to affect your mood." Zhao Shouzheng sighed deeply, then spoke to him with a face full of remorse.

The coolness permeated gently, dissipating the slight prickling pain on his forehead.

Sour and sweet, truly delicious

Here, here

Another maid brought a官窑 tea cup, one hand supporting Zhao Hao's chin with a fragrant cloth, while the other hand held a spoon to feed him water

The maidservants, seeing that he was indeed unharmed, hurriedly set aside their respective tasks and playfully hid away, giggling.

Xiao Zhaohao's grandfather is named Zhao Liben, a native of Xiuning in Huizhou. After being awarded the Jinshi degree in the seventeenth year of the Jiajing era, he served as the governor in Changsha and as a provincial judge in Zhejiang. He currently holds the position of Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue in Nanjing, managing the salt distribution for the two Huai regions, which can be considered one of the most lucrative positions in the country

Zhao Hao hesitated for a moment

Finally, Zhao Shouzheng released Zhao Hao and turned to the four bewildered maidservants, saying: "You all go to the courtyard; my elder brother has something to say to you."

But this is not the main point

... ...

The sound of laughter abruptly ceased, leaving only Zhao Hao's excited exclamation: "Hahaha, let me catch it!"
