Chapter 001: The Unlearned Su San

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Reaching out to grab a cigarette, only to find nothing. The clothes surprisingly have no pockets? This style does resemble the long shirt pajamas from ancient costume dramas

As for myself, that is to say, Su San, it is better not to mention it. Speaking of it, it could really embarrass a person.

The current dynasty is called 'Feng', which somewhat drives people crazy, as it is unclear where this new dynasty has emerged from

He is currently feeling very confused, only wanting to walk around and observe, trying to understand the situation before him. Oh, there is still a very beautiful young girl, with a pair of attractive horned hairstyles. He glanced at her, and an aura of authority naturally suppressed the atmosphere.

From the perspective of cultural development, the Feng Dynasty is somewhat similar to the Song and Yuan Dynasties. During this period, poetry and prose had already developed to a significant extent, and literati found pleasure in poetry and prose. In certain regions influenced by northern nomadic tribes, some coarse and rugged forms of verse also emerged

I am, after all, a high-achieving undergraduate student. While I cannot claim to have researched ancient Chinese history, I still remember the dynastic song that my teacher taught us.

In this era, he still finds it somewhat difficult to understand.

Economically, it resembles the Tang and Song dynasties. The markets are bustling with people, merchants from all over the world gather in the major cities, the abundance of goods is unprecedented, and the flow of information can also be considered frequent

He was stunned

What is even more remarkable is that Old Master Su has successors. His eldest son, Su Yi, after growing up, passed the imperial examination and is now an official in the court; his second son, Su Er, has been assisting his father in business and excels both inside and outside the enterprise

I closed my eyes again, slowly adapting to the various discomforts of my body. Yet in my mind, I was pondering, where am I?

There are no tall buildings, nor is there a single modern structure. What catches the eye are rows of independent tile-roofed houses, extending in an orderly fashion towards the distance, gradually disappearing at the edge of sight. The quaint architecture and the well-arranged gardens resemble scenes from the television drama "Dream of the Red Chamber"

What is the situation

However, Old Li actually agreed, and not only did he agree, but on the third day after the betrothal was proposed, he eagerly married Li Yue'er off to the Su family

Startled him greatly

Suddenly, a large group of people burst out from somewhere downstairs, including maids, old women, and guards.

In fact, if someone has taken the lead, then so be it, after all, no one believes that the old man from the Li family would agree to this marriage

Analyzing the historical records from this dynasty, many renowned dynasties in ancient history have vanished from the historical texts. Even in the case of a dynasty with the same name, the historical facts are mostly different.

She seems to desire the status of being a couple, yet does not wish to engage in the realities of married life, which is why she has executed a clever escape. She appears quite adept at it. But why does she choose to do this

It is better to be a well-behaved rich young master, enjoying food and drink when available, and taking time to rest and cultivate one's character during leisure. As for individuals like Li Yue'er and Li Ya'er, they can stay wherever they please. He does not pay much attention to matters of formal status.

It is estimated that this is merely another parallel space-time related to ancient Chinese history. Otherwise, no one would be able to comprehend these numerous differences

Three days later, he finally walked out of the small building and stepped outside. The streets paved with blue stones, the shops adorned with lanterns, the ancient dialects echoing in the air, even the atmosphere carried a sense of antiquity. All of this indicated that the era he was in was indeed ancient.

Su San's character is well-known in Wuling City; who doesn't know about it? Old Li, such a shrewd old man, would never agree to marry his daughter to such a scoundrel

The house, characterized by its antique elegance, features a wooden bed with a canopy, tables and chairs intricately carved with designs of flowers, birds, insects, and fish. Several orchids are arranged upright in a porcelain vase, and a solid wood bookshelf is filled with ancient and rare books.

The landscape may change, but one's nature is hard to alter! If one wishes for Su San to turn away from evil and return to righteousness, it is likely to take another lifetime. Li Yue'er has expressed such sentiments, indicating that she is resolutely determined not to enter the Su family.

It can be affirmed that I am not dead

So, is it locked up

Suddenly sitting up, I felt a soreness throughout my body, my vision was blurred, and my head was extremely heavy. Judging by the situation, it seemed that I had been bedridden for some time.

In a hurry, I got out of bed, grabbed a copper mirror from the table, and looked into it. Indeed, this face was no longer my own.

He has also driven a horse-drawn carriage to faraway places. It has been proven that this world is not the closed world depicted in 'Clones'. He is not a clone, raised in a glass bottle, confined to a closed fantasy world from the moment of his birth

It indeed took some effort to conduct a parallel deduction with ancient Chinese history

No bullet holes

The Su family is a well-known wealthy merchant family in Wuling. Old Master Su, in his youth, established a vast estate and is one of the notable merchants in Wuling City.

After straining for a while, my eyes gradually refocused

Without literary accomplishment, there can be no martial success. Not even a fragment of the family business acumen has been learned.

He took a deep breath, staring blankly at the scene before him, and it took him a long time to come to his senses

In the tumultuous sea of commerce, the shadowy battles are incessant, with daily struggles against both rivals and fate. Domestically, there are various influential figures; internationally, a multitude of business magnates. He dedicates all his time to the intricate games of wits with them. Even after his business empire transforms into a colossal behemoth, he tirelessly shifts his focus to the political arena, ultimately leading to his downfall and self-destruction.

Lin Rong, the son of Lin Hailu, the governor of Wuling City, has recently been quite entangled with Li Yue'er. It is heard that Lin Hailu is a person who is inclined to amass wealth and has been involved in many illegal activities in secret. Given the astuteness of Old Master Li, he can certainly foresee that once the Lin family encounters disaster, it is likely to lead to the extermination of their clan

The bride, taking advantage of the chaos caused by the commotion, escaped back home. She declared that as long as Su San did not repent and return to the right path, she would not enter Su San's room for a single day.

Both hands suddenly moved to the forehead, with the fingertips urgently pressing twice at the center of the eyebrows

Looking at the matters before him, he felt a sense of disinterest; he no longer wished to engage with these issues, especially such trivial matters.

It may be somewhat vulgar, but changing the name is clearly impossible, so we can only let it be.

Today is Qingming, a significant day for ancestor worship. Yesterday, my second brother returned from out of town. My eldest brother even sent the "spirit money" well in advance, intending to burn it at the ancestral grave.

From a political and military perspective, it resembles the Southern Song Dynasty. It is a situation of being content with a small territory, facing off against several foreign tribes in the north

Such a tender and juicy cabbage has been uprooted by the foolish pig at www.hetushucom.com

The young master has come downstairs!" The young girl quickly began to sing down the stairs.

"Young Master, Young Master!" A girl's voice sounded at the door.

As for my identity in this world, I have more or less come to understand it. My surname is Su, my given name is San, and my courtesy name is Ningyuan. This name is somewhat vulgar, but the old master of the Su family has three sons; the eldest is named Su Yi, the second is named Su Er, so by the time it came to him, he could only be called Su San.

Am I truly ignorant and uninformed? Or has modern medicine reached a level where it can actually bring the dead back to life and perform cosmetic surgery at will

Every time, he nearly drives the old man to the brink of death. It is only now that he thinks of proposing a marriage to Su San, hoping to tie his heart down, with the expectation that after marrying and having children, he might change his temperament.

Unable to come up with a reason, I shall not think too much about it. After a lifetime of contemplation, must I still expend so much thought in this life? I will simply be a dutiful young master, going out for a stroll when I am happy, and staying at home when I am not, tending to flowers and feeding fish. I will take it one step at a time, enjoying a carefree and leisurely life.

He burst out of the door

Oh, a living person

At least there is still one life remaining

The air is filled with the fragrance of wood and orchids

This aside, if one were to live a simple and honest life at home, it would not be a bad thing for a child to be straightforward. However, Su San, on the contrary, spends her days flirting and idling about.

Forming a nominal marriage that is known but not substantial allows them to evade the entanglements of the Lin family while temporarily safeguarding Li Yue'er. This must have been a plan arranged before the two got married.

Not understanding the customs of Qingming, I naturally could not be of any help, so I quietly hid away in the small building to seek some leisure, unaware of how the outside suddenly became noisy.

I was truly foolish. How could there be any chance of survival after being shot in this location

While pondering what might happen, I saw my little maid, Yu'er, running into the courtyard. Without waiting to go upstairs, she excitedly shouted up, "Young Master, Young Master, the Young Mistress has returned"

The original Su San was certainly not a suitable candidate for marriage. If it were not for someone from the Su family holding an official position in the court, which could shield the Li family from the potential grievances of the Lin family, the Li family would not have chosen the Su family.

A complete scoundrel who indulges in eating, drinking, gambling, and debauchery, embodying all five vices, and is utterly uneducated and unskilled

This hand, so thick? ... so strong? ... ... it seems not to be my own?

Sitting in a rattan chair, gazing out at the world from the second-floor window, I was contemplating these matters when a commotion arose outside in the courtyard

On the day of the wedding, the first to cause trouble were Li Yue'er’s cousins. They chose to create a scene not before, nor after, but precisely after the couple had completed their wedding ceremony. This not only solidified the couple's status as husband and wife but also allowed her to openly escape from the marriage.

Having come to terms with these thoughts, he smiled nonchalantly, inevitably recalling events from his previous life

He hurriedly pushed open the window, and a gust of fresh air rushed in. This is the second floor of a small building, and due to the elevated terrain, the view is exceptionally broad

It was only on the day of the wedding that the ceremony was completed

Ten million instances of disbelief

He withdrew his gaze, walked past the little girl, and headed outside

The ancient and distant decorations do not convey the slightest sense of modern living. Rather, it is a good place for tranquility and seclusion from the world. One wonders who has put such thought into isolating themselves in such a remote location. Could it be that even in such a state, there remains any threat?

In any situation, the most feared aspect is scrutiny. If one is genuinely interested in uncovering the truth, it will not be too difficult to understand various circumstances clearly. After a brief analysis, a person emerged within his line of sight

It is unknown how many young men from Wuling have been longing for Li Yue'er day and night, only to be unexpectedly outpaced by the Su family.

Oh, is my wife back?

In a fit of grief and anger, the young man from Wuling caused a commotion at the wedding scene. Amidst the chaos, Su San was struck on the head by a plate from an unknown assailant and fainted.

Let alone the Poet Immortal Li Bai, the Poet Sage Du Fu, or the Four Masters of Early Tang and the Eight Great Prose Masters of Tang and Song, all these literary figures whose names have been immortalized throughout the ages have completely vanished, replaced by names that are entirely unfamiliar.

This is too outrageous! Is this what is known as time travel?

In the Li family, there is a daughter named Li Yue'er, who is exceptionally beautiful and possesses outstanding qualities. Someone specially composed a poem for Li Yue'er, stating, "... ... crowned among the crowd, together admiring the enchanting beauty of the city and the nation ... ... a person from Wuling, deeply immersed in dreams and intentions, capable of expressing the depths of affection." This sufficiently illustrates Li Yue'er's delicate charm, subtly indicating that she has already become the beloved of the public

Therefore, in name, Li Yue'er is already Su San's wife. If she wishes to remarry, it would be a violation of the rites and regulations. Such a thing is impossible.

Only by turning away from evil and returning to the right path can one bring back his wife, using a man's pride to compel him. Old Master Su, leveraging his influence, has indeed put in considerable effort.

In any case, it is somewhat chaotic; apart from a few place names that evoke a slight sense of familiarity, other aspects have undergone significant changes.

In order to prevent Li Yue'er from marrying into the Lin family, before the Lin family could propose, Old Master Li arranged for Li Yue'er to be married off first. This is likely the original intention behind the Li family's alliance with the Su family.

The young girl, upon meeting his gaze, trembled all over; her originally advancing footsteps awkwardly took a small step back, and she stammered, "Young Master! You, have risen..."

Old Li is a shrewd man who would not agree to marry his daughter to someone like Su San, whom he knows to be incompetent. There must be some underlying reason for this decision

This can be considered a form of elopement

It is even more coincidental that Li Yue'er had an elopement incident

Eating and drinking are all done on the streets, the brothel has become his home

Having descended the stairs, I exerted myself to push through the large crowd, intending to exit the building, but ultimately... I was stopped and brought back.

He slowly regained consciousness, and what met his eyes was the intricately carved bed canopy. A dull heaviness pressed against his chest, and a faint pain throbbed in his head

The betrothal gift unexpectedly arrived at the Wuling Li family, leaving the face of the young man from Wuling pale with fright

The name Wuling sounds reminiscent of the later Hangzhou. However, from the geographical perspective of the Feng Dynasty, it does not quite seem to align.

However, he sensed a hint of conspiracy in the entire matter

In this way, one cannot help but think of the old man at home, who is not simple either. Before the betrothal, how could the old man be unaware of Old Man Li's attitude? ... When Li Yue'er eloped, he remained silent, and he likely knew about it beforehand ... . ... Allowing Li Yue'er to act according to her temperament, perhaps he also hopes to provoke himself, wishing for a change of heart.

Envious of other families, they continuously express their admiration. They wish they could also have such a pair of good sons at home
