I live in Dayu Changsheng

Chapter 1, Troubled Times

Chapter 1, Troubled Times

In the 32nd year of Emperor Sejong, there was a severe drought in the three states in the south of Yu State, the grain harvest decreased, and turmoil gradually arose.

Yunzhou.

Daze Prefecture, Changshan County.

boom!
Amidst the crisp sound, the half-hidden door of 'Caozhitang' was kicked open.

A ruddy, bearded man in his thirties came in with two attendants: "Hey, Ah Rui, are you here? It's broad daylight, what door is closed?"

"Master Tiger!"

On the opposite side was a pale-faced, fluffy chin, fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy named Fang Rui. When he saw Master Hu, he quickly stood up from behind the counter with a smile on his face: "Isn't this just taking a break in the afternoon? Waiting for you, pay this month's regular money!"

As he said, he brought over twelve large coins with an outer circle and an inner square.

"Is it a pleasure to pay the money this time?"

Master Hu took the big money, weighed it twice in his hand, and knew the amount: "It's less, the higher-ups have said that starting from this month, the regular money will be increased by [-]%."

"Twenty percent?"

Fang Rui showed bitterness, gritted his teeth in pain, and took out three big coins from his pocket again.

"So neat? I thought some tricks would be used."

Master Hu narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a smirk: "Ah Rui, have you gotten rich recently?"

"Master Hu was joking, how can you not know about the things on this street? If I get rich, how can I hide it from you?"

"It's not because we are thinking that we can open the medicine hall well, it all depends on Lord Tiger and the Tiger Gang to take care of us, so no matter how difficult it is, we must support your work!"

Fang Rui bent over, with a flattering smile on his face, and finally said a little embarrassedly: "I dare not lie to Master Hu, we are also a little careful: my father has gone to conscription, and Caozhitang has no one in charge, so we want to invite Tiger Please take care of me, Lord."

"Not bad, not bad, Ah Rui, you are very knowledgeable about current affairs. Don't worry, this is what my Tiger Gang eats, and no one will bully you."

Master Hu smiled and patted Xia Rui on the shoulders twice.

"Then thank you, Lord Tiger!"

Fang Rui smiled flatteringly, and sent Master Hu away.

Yes, it's just a smiley face. There is no harsh words of "30 years in Hexi, 30 years in Hedong", and there is no cold light in the eyes.

——For a person like Master Hu, he has seen a lot of people of all schools and schools, and he is best at observing words and demeanor. If he has a little resentment or dissatisfaction, he will be beaten severely when he goes up, and he will not tell you any rules.

In his past and present lives, Fang Rui deeply understands a truth: in front of a strong person who can control your destiny, you must remain in awe, no matter whether the opponent is good or bad, good or evil.

"Of course, you can compromise and compromise, but you can't break your bones... You still have to keep these accounts in mind."

After seeing Master Tiger off, Fang Rui returned to the house, and the smile on his face disappeared.

"Brother Rui, is he gone?"

At this time, the curtain in the back room was lifted, and a middle-aged woman in her forties, wearing a wooden fork and a coarse cloth skirt, came out. It was Fang Rui's mother, Fang Xueshi.

"Mom, let's go!"

Fang Rui smiled again, but this time the smile was much more from the heart: "As I said, I'll do this kind of payment, but you just want to watch from behind."

"Hey, you kid, don't I worry about it? It was your father who dealt with it before... Sigh!" Speaking of Fang Rui's father, Fang Xue sighed heavily.

"Mother, don't worry, although Dad was conscripted, as a doctor accompanying the army, his safety is still guaranteed. Besides, auspicious people have their own destiny..." Fang Rui comforted.

"Hope it!"

Fang Xueshi nodded, and suddenly remembered the three big extra money she had just paid, and couldn't help feeling distressed: "It used to be 'white two black three', but now it's 'white three black four'... this is the way of the world!"

The so-called "white two black three" means that the white way officials get [-]% of the profits, and the underworld gangs get [-]% of the profits;

For the former, you can still save some money by digging around a bit; for the latter, it is difficult to make ends meet.

"That's right, in this world... the more catastrophic the year, the heavier the exploitation!" Fang Rui sighed.

"Stop talking about that."

Fang Xueshi shook his head, and was about to go out with the basket in his hand: "Brother Rui, stay at home, I'll go buy some food."

"I can't buy cornmeal, I have to buy sorghum noodles...the saponins are gone..."

She babbled and muttered.

"Mom, wait a minute."

Fang Rui suddenly stopped Fang Xueshi, and pulled her towards the back room.

"Brother Rui, do you want to do that again?"

"Hmm!"

"Is it okay to not do it? I don't feel well."

"Hey, mother, just listen to me!"

Fang Rui dragged Fang Xueshi to the back room, fiddled with his tools, and added a few pimples and freckles to Fang Xueshi's face.

"Mother! Brother!"

At this time, a voice sounded from the bed, it was a girl wearing a skirt and two braids, named Fang Ling.

"Ling'er, have you woken up in the afternoon?"

Fang Rui turned his head and asked, "Look at our mother, is she ugly?"

"ugly."

Fang Ling nodded honestly: "It's getting uglier."

"I can rest assured that."

Fang Rui patted his chest, looking relieved, and the other Xue said, "Mother, you can go out now... By the way, add some rags to your body to make it look a bit bloated... In this world, how can you dress up?" Make it ugly, it's safe."

Although Fang Xue muttered and felt a little reluctant, she still followed Fang Rui's instructions, and then told Fang Rui's brothers and sisters a few words, and then went out with a basket on her shoulders.

At this time.

Fang Ling had already put on his shoes, combed his hair, and got up from the bed.

Gollum!
She groaned twice.

"I'm going to drink water." Fang Ling said.

"Wait,"

Fang Rui fumbled around, found half a piece of sorghum flour pancake from somewhere, and handed it to Fang Ling: "Take it and grind your teeth!"

quack!

Fang Ling took it, broke it in half, and gave the larger half to Fang Rui: "Brother, you also grind your teeth."

Fang Rui lowered his head, looked at Fang Ling's big jet-black eyes, and his yellowed hair, and smiled, "I'm an adult, so I don't need to grind my teeth."

"By the way, come here, and I will also get some acne and freckles on your face."

"Oh."

Fang Ling came over obediently.

Fang Rui looked at Fang Ling struggling to nibble on the sorghum bread while letting himself play with it, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitched, feeling that his sister was a bit dull and not very smart.

However, he also understands: It is rare for people in this world to be literate, and it is natural for them not to be wise if they do not read.

In this environment, it is unlikely that any dark-bellied and eccentric temperament will exist.

On the other hand, Fang Ling showed that the poor family was in charge early, obedient, well-behaved, and sensible.

"All right."

Added a few more pimples and freckles to Fang Ling's face, making him look a lot uglier, so Fang Rui clapped his hands, let his sister play in the room, and went to the outer hall by himself.

Take a seat behind the counter.

Fang Rui rubbed his eyebrows, recalling the events of this life.

That's right, he is a time traveler, unlike other time travelers in Qidian Orphanage, he has a father, a mother, and a sister.

Father Fang Baicao.

Mother Fang Xueshi.

Sister Fang Ling.

The predecessor, Fang Rui, was a sick child since he was a child. A serious illness half a month ago caused Fang Rui from Earth to travel across and occupy this body.

"The country I live in is Dayu. To be more specific, it is Yu State, Yunzhou, Daze Prefecture, and Changshan County... this year's summer has experienced severe drought, and the grain harvest has decreased.

Thinking of this, Fang Rui felt a little complicated in his eyes.

Half a month ago, he came here through time travel. He had just recovered from a serious illness. At that time, he was being drafted into the army... It is conceivable that if Fang Rui had been sent to the army, given his physique, he would have almost died.

At the critical moment, it was this body's father, Fang Baicao, who stood up. He was 50 years older than the conscription age, but he used his identity as a doctor to bridge the relationship and replaced Fang Rui.

"Not only the father, but also the mother and younger sister..."

These days, after Fang Baicao left, Fang Rui became the head of the family: when eating, Fang Xue asked him to eat the thick ones first, while she and Fang Ling ate the thin ones... the food was tight for him, I'd rather starve myself...

All these things made him feel warm.

Frankly speaking, as a time traveler, at the beginning, it was impossible to say how much Fang Rui had deep affection for Fang Baicao, Fang Xueshi, and Fang Ling for this family.

But as they got along, he recognized them from the bottom of his heart.

After all, people are not plants, how can they be ruthless?

"In this chaotic world similar to ancient times, if you want to live with your whole family, you must be careful and prudent...Compared with other low-level people in this world, they are confused and hopeless, but I am different!"

"Because I have golden fingers..."

"what--"

Fang Rui was thinking about it, when he suddenly heard a scream from outside, he couldn't help but hastily got up, went to the door, and took a careful look through the crack of the door.
