Chapter 1: Set a small goal first

The reason is very simple

The sun gradually reaches its zenith, slowly becoming more intense

First of all, Old Cheng does not know Li Yun

Facial recognition is merely a means of acquaintance

In a hurry, he took out two ceramic bowls and hurriedly ran towards the place where the porridge was being distributed

Hehehe!

The stoutest thigh of the Tang Dynasty belonged to Li Shimin, but emperors rarely ventured out of the palace, and Li Yun did not have the courage to breach the palace gates. After much contemplation, he set his sights on Cheng Yaojin.

The only regret is that the dish's color on the face detracts from the girl's complexion and charm

He has been waiting in vain for a month

With a bang

Amidst the clamor, the situation became evident; it turned out that a small group of disaster victims was accusing Ah Yao under the leadership of a man.

While Li Yunmao was crouching in the corner, a young girl beside him spoke softly

Engaging in conversation with Cheng Yaojin is not simply a matter of rushing up and raising your voice.

... ...

Specifically, it was a month spent stationed in front of the residence of Duke Lu.

After traversing the Tang Dynasty, shouldn't one find a sturdy thigh to hold on to tightly

It is said that Li Yun and A Yao quietly squatted in the corner of the wall, and they remained in that position for a whole morning

With reason, one earns three points; without reason, one still earns three points

Li Yun has already waited for a full month, and he does not care at all about continuing to wait

Li Yun did not look back, his eyes continued to stare unblinkingly at the Duke's residence

... ...

... ...

At that time, it was A Yao who saved Li Yun; otherwise, Li Yun would have starved to death shortly after the time travel.

Li Yun has been in the Tang Dynasty for one month now

A Yao, on the other hand, fled to Chang'an with some fellow villagers due to the drought in her hometown, but she was different from the other disaster victims, as she had other matters to attend to in Chang'an

It is necessary to eat

As time passed, the money I had was spent, and out of necessity, I could only follow the refugees to receive charity rice, which fortuitously saved Li Yun's life

Brother Li, are we still going to keep watch here today

If Li Yun could embrace this thick leg, at least she would not have to worry about standing in the wrong line in the Tang Dynasty

Moreover, look at this little girl, she took two bowls by herself, and both are filled with thick porridge... I saw it very clearly just now, the chopsticks stand upright in it without falling over...

Li Yun gazed at A Yao's silhouette and praised, "What a good girl, she deserves to live a good life"

The young girl, noticing that Li Yun was silent, quietly asked again.

The brick in hand is indeed very hard, striking a person's forehead directly

If it were not for A Yao's assistance, Li Yun might have starved to death.

Good girl

One would be foolish not to embrace such thighs

And Li Yun was waiting for such an opportunity

It is a pity that after A Yao arrived in Chang'an, she had no connections, and the matters concerning the compensation for the soldiers who died in battle were too numerous. Therefore, A Yao has been waiting and has not yet been summoned by the authorities for verification.

Those who have navigated the officialdom of later generations know that in order to make a lasting impression on their superiors, ability is a secondary prerequisite, while establishing a personal rapport is the primary factor

This old fellow appears to be coarse and reckless, yet he possesses his own philosophy of life, having stood firm in the court for a lifetime, navigating smoothly, and living to over eighty years old while still being a prominent minister of the Tang Dynasty

Because he seeks an opportunity to perfectly present himself in front of Cheng Yaojin

Crouch

Bang

It is said that at the stall where Li Yun was waiting, there suddenly arose a commotion over at the porridge distribution area

I am not convinced, I am not convinced!

A glance at history reveals that the old demon Cheng is astute in his dealings, appearing rough on the outside but delicate within, with a nimble approach; he offends those who deserve it while avoiding those who do not.

Li Yun suddenly grabbed the girl, stood up and pondered for a moment, saying: "I should go instead; it is not safe for you. Every time we distribute porridge, there are disputes, and you, as a young girl, are too vulnerable."

This young girl, dressed in simple cloth and adorned with various patches, exudes a gentle demeanor between her brows, clearly indicating that she is a well-mannered girl with a soft personality

May you prosper

He clenched his fist and silently awaited the opportunity

It is essential to astonish Old Cheng, creating a sense of surprise and brilliance before his eyes

In order for Li Yun to embrace the sturdy leg of Cheng Yaojin, he must first ensure that he is recognized and remembered by him

Living well in ancient times is not as simple as described in novels with a mere "tremor of the tiger's body"

The girl's name is A Yao, and she is a kind-hearted little girl

However, A Yao did not pay attention to the fact that she had been kicked; she was only busy gathering the spilled porridge. The little girl kept using her small hands to scrape the ground, her eyes filled with tears, saying: "Porridge, my porridge..."

Life has never been simple, whether in ancient times or in modernity; mere fanciful thinking cannot accomplish anything

... ...

At present, the relationship between the two individuals can be described as that of displaced persons mutually seeking warmth and support from one another

Ah? On what basis does this young girl have any claim? Have you slept with the official?

Brother Li, do we still have to keep watch today

Because this thigh is thick enough

Li Yun slowly squatted in the corner of the wall, staring at the Duke's residence not far away, and softly said: "It seems I still need to put in more effort, continue to keep my eyes wide open, Cheng Yaojin, I have set my sights on your big, thick legs!"

A brick struck down, and that person fell straight down.

Very noisy

What has happened to you in Shandong due to the drought? We in Hebei are also suffering from military disasters! We are all disaster victims, so why does she get to have two bowls of porridge? I see that girl has clearly slept with the officials

Who is Duke Lu?

"Why is it that they receive only thick porridge, while we are given nothing but watery soup? Brothers, this is unjust, and we will not accept it"

... ...

The young girl let out a soft "oh" and quietly accompanied Li Yun as they squatted in the corner of the wall

Keep your mouth clean; if you speak carelessly again, I will beat you to death

Regardless of the era, waiting for someone is an exercise in patience. To wait for a current duke is an even greater test of patience

Over the past month, Li Yun has also come to understand the relationship between the two of them. Li Yun is an educated man who has suffered from the ravages of war; his hometown was completely devastated, and he fled to Chang'an as a refugee.

The young girl smiled sweetly, forcefully pulling her hand away from Li Yun's grasp. As if recalling something, she lightly bit her lip and continued, "Fetching the porridge is merely a trivial matter, there is no need for my elder brother to personally attend to it. You often say that you wish to wait for an opportunity, so you must not stray even a step away. Although I do not fully understand your intentions, I can see your earnestness..."

It is not a big deal to feel hot; the key issue is that after squatting for an entire morning, one becomes hungry

Please wait a moment for me

However, the opportunity for facial recognition also depends on fate. Li Yun has been waiting in front of the Duke's residence for a month, yet he has not been able to find a chance from beginning to end

The ceramic bowl in A Yao's hand shattered into pieces

Li Yun felt a surge of anger rise in his chest, and without a second thought, he grabbed a half brick and charged over.

Once one has caught the attention of the old witch, hmph, even if a tremendous mess is stirred up, Cheng Yaojin would dare to lend support to others

It seems that someone kicked the little girl.

The young girl habitually gazed into the distance, then cautiously tugged at Li Yun's clothing corner and whispered, "Brother Li, it is time for the porridge distribution again. You stay here on watch, and I will go fetch two bowls of thin porridge..."

It's nothing, I always wait for them to finish before I take mine, avoiding their disdain and not getting into disputes with them

Having finished speaking this time, without waiting for Li Yun to retort, he grasped a ceramic bowl in each hand and headed towards the place where the porridge was being distributed

Why is Li Yun squatting at the entrance of the Cheng family?

One month ago, the first moment when Li Yun opened his eyes, what he saw was A Yao, and he vividly remembers those gentle, large eyes

... ...

However, everyone is a refugee, all coming from a background of fleeing disaster, so they lack the courage to fight; at most, they just shove each other. However, it is absolutely unacceptable that, in the midst of the shoving, someone accidentally lost their grip and ended up pushing A Yao to the ground.

It is also very chaotic

Hiding is not an option; there are a few disaster victims who are quite unreasonable

At this point, she paused slightly, playfully winked, and sweetly said: "So, let us stick to the old rules. Little sister will be responsible for fetching the porridge, while big brother, you continue to keep watch..."

It turns out that A Yao's father was a soldier who died in battle. According to regulations, there should be a compensation of two guan of money, and he should also be granted land, which should amount to fifty mu at the very least

However, it is not an easy task to gain the support of Old Cheng

Achieve success and prominence

Cheng Yaojin of the Tang Dynasty, known by the nickname "The Demon King of Chaos," once saved the emperor's life twice and became famous as the most unreasonable figure of the Tang Dynasty

There is a small group of disaster victims over there with A Yao, who are currently arguing with the people across from them, angrily saying: "You bunch of thieves, don't bully this young girl. Our hometown in Shandong has suffered from drought; it is not easy for her, a young girl, to escape to Chang'an. Are you trying to take advantage of her just because she seems weak..."

Therefore, it is better to remain still than to act recklessly

You all push and shove but do not dare to fight, I dare!

... ...

Why does Li Yun want to cling to Cheng Yaojin's thigh

I will say it this way, do as you please, I will beat you to death first

As a vagrant, Li Yun had no land or property. In the vast city of Chang'an, he found himself without any relatives. Even though he was a time traveler with a mind full of ideas for getting rich, he lacked a platform to showcase his talents. Even if he had extraordinary abilities, they would be of no use.

The young girl quickly waved her hand, casually brushing back the hair from her forehead, and sweetly smiled, saying: "Brother Li, do not worry, I will be careful to avoid it."

Upon arriving in the Tang Dynasty, first set a small goal: to cling to the thigh of Cheng Yaojin, and only then can one enjoy the benefits and pleasures.

No need, no need

The scene is chaotic and noisy

To live a good life, relying solely on charity is not sufficient

Most importantly, Li Yun also knows one thing: Lao Cheng has a notable virtue, which is his exceptional protectiveness towards his own kind

The first impression of Cheng Yaojin is very important, as it relates to Li Yun's future plans and life

While others traverse through time as wealthy young masters, Li Yun finds himself rather unfortunate, having become a refugee upon his arrival. Not only is he skin and bones from hunger, but he also lacks the strength to even go and collect porridge
