Chapter 806
The sound of cock crows echoed throughout Zhuluo Village.

In the distance, the sky turned white, and the whole village gradually woke up from the darkness.

Li Yunze opened his eyes, and there was already movement outside the house.

The Zheng family has all gotten up. The head of the Zheng family took Zheng Chai out to work, while Zheng's mother was doing housework.

What surprised Li Yunze was that Zheng Dan was practicing swordplay in the yard.

With his excellent hearing, Li Yunze could even clearly hear the sound of Zheng Dan's sword piercing the air as he thrust out one sword after another.

Sure enough, no one can succeed casually, unless he is a loser.
But you have to work hard to be cool.

He got up and dressed neatly, went to the corner and kicked up the sleeping public transportation class: "It's dawn."

"Luanyu" says, "I examine myself three times a day."

Li Yunze's explanation is that as a Confucian disciple, he must exercise his body three times a day.

It is especially important to practice first thing in the morning.

Naturally, when you get up in the morning, you don’t practice shooting, but exercise.

When the master and apprentice came to the courtyard, they saw Zheng Dan, with beads of sweat on his pretty face, practicing sword after sword with his silver teeth gritted.

Li Yunze did not interrupt and stood aside with his public transportation team to watch silently.

After a long time, the sun rose, and Zheng Dan put away his sword with slightly trembling arms.

"There are still two swords left."

Li Yunze, who had been standing nearby, suddenly said something.

Wiping the sweat off his forehead, Zheng Dan turned his head and looked over in confusion, "What?"

"Didn't you want to stab a thousand swords? Now there are only nine-nine-eight."

Li Yunze's reply made Zheng Dan laugh, "I practice every day, how could I remember it wrong?"

Shaking his head, Li Yunze said nothing.

He couldn't have heard wrong. It was indeed missing two thorns.

Without saying anything more, he turned around and urged the public transportation class to start exercising.

Zheng Dan went back to the room to wash up, and came out again feeling refreshed.

Then he looked at the Gongshu Ban Fitness Center curiously and said, "What is this?"

"Exercise your body." Li Yunze responded, "No matter what you do, a strong body is the best foundation. If you are in good health, everything will be fine."

Those useless Confucian scholars in later generations who cannot carry it on their shoulders or lift it in their hands are not worthy to be called Confucian disciples.

Before Zheng Dan could speak, Li Yunze said to her, "Your way of practicing swordsmanship did make rapid progress when you were young, but it put a huge load on your body. When your physical fitness declines, All sorts of problems will keep popping up.”

Zheng Dan looked at him blankly, "Huh?"

How could Zheng Dan, who had never left Zhuluo Village a hundred miles away in his life, understand this?

"I know a set of massage techniques that can relieve the burden on the body." Li Yunze said with a sincere expression. "With acupuncture and medicine, it can effectively relieve the hidden wounds in your body. Do you want to try it?"

Zheng Dan'(°ー°〃)'

It seems that we are not familiar with this gentleman.

After a moment of silence, Zheng Dan suddenly asked, "Mr., is it possible that you have a crush on Zhong Dan? Do you want to take me away?"

Women in this era, especially young and beautiful women, from princesses to country girls, are all regarded as commodities to put it bluntly.

Princess Wang Ji was used for marriage, like the princess of Qin many years ago. She was originally supposed to marry the prince of Chu, but she was cut off by King Ping of Chu. This caused Wu Zixu to flee and counterattack, causing a lot of trouble. A storm is coming.

After reading Li Yunze's storybook, the world only thinks that Wu Zixu is really a man of revenge, but who has ever sympathized with the princess of Qin who was cut off by her father-in-law?

Even Qin himself doesn’t care!

They only care about the pressure brought by joining forces with Chu to fight against Jin. It doesn't matter whether the princess marries the prince or the father-in-law.

This is true for princesses, so the status of women from common people's families is naturally even worse.

In Zhuluo Village, caravans would also pass by in previous years, and some outstanding boys and girls would be selected from the village, taken away, and sent to the homes of the rich and powerful in various places.

Last year, Zheng Dan was spotted by a caravan, but fortunately she refused to obey with her sword, so she had to give up.

As for why the family is willing to hand over the boys and girls to the caravan, it is because they pay for them and the prices are generous. The more beautiful the girls, the more generous they are.

And everyone knew that they would be sent to powerful and wealthy families. From then on, not only would they be able to have enough food and clothing, but they would also have the opportunity to get ahead and fly on a branch to become a phoenix. Naturally, they hit it off.

Many people wanted to go, but they were looked down upon by the caravans because of their poor appearance.

Zheng Dan knew very well that with her beauty and figure, she had escaped last year and this year, but what about next year and the future?

Her parents will eventually send her away and bring back her brother's wealth for marriage.

Well, if nothing else, she should marry Dong Shi.

Zheng Dan didn't want to be sent to a rich and powerful family and raised in captivity to become a plaything.

Maybe she could have enough to eat and drink, maybe she could wear beautiful clothes, but that was not the life she wanted.

But as a little girl, even if she was excellent at swordsmanship, how could she escape from this almost certain fate?

until now.

Gongshu Ban, who was lying on the ground doing push-ups, immediately trembled when he heard these words and fell directly to the ground.

Are all Vietnamese women so unrestrained?
Facing Zheng Dan's anxious gaze, Li Yunze smiled slightly, turned around and returned to the house.

In that moment, Zheng Dan felt beyond words the loss in his heart.

'Why, I'm not bad either?I am the twin sister of Huansha and Shi Yiguang! 'While Zheng Dan was still feeling sorry for herself, Li Yunze had already walked out with a money bag and handed it to her, "Go get some food."

Looking at the money bag in his hand, and then raising his head to look at Li Yunze, Zheng Dan's eyes were full of doubts.

"It's not time to eat yet."

In ancient times, there was a two-meal system, and breakfast usually started around ninety o'clock.

It’s not that I don’t want three meals or even more, it’s that my productivity is insufficient and I can’t support it.

"My family always eats three meals a day."

Zheng Dan looked at Li Yunze blankly. After a while, Zheng Dan seemed to have figured out something. A blush appeared on his pretty face, he turned around and ran away holding the money bag.

Li Yunze smiled and turned to look at the public transportation class who was lying on the ground watching the excitement, "Are you lazy? Add fifty more."

The public transportation class was really not being lazy, but was shocked.

You must know that since he became a disciple, the senior brothers have told him many times in private, saying that the master is not a womanizer. The kings and dignitaries have sent beautiful women many times, but the master has turned them back. That is true single-mindedness. Dedicate yourself to education with no distractions.

But today the master actually agreed to marry that woman!

This news is really too shocking.

Naturally, breakfast is not sold in this era.

Zheng Dan ran to a wealthy family in the village, bought some wine and meat sauce, and brought them back to his mother to cook.

The wealthy households in the village are basically equivalent to the canteens and supermarkets of later generations. The wealthy households will have some inventory of things that the villagers cannot afford.

'My family has three meals. 'While Zheng Dan was cooking the porridge, these words were still echoing in his mind.

'That means I am also included in the family? '

When she thought of this, she couldn't hold back the smile on her pretty face no matter what.

Mother Zheng on the side raised her arms and hugged her, "This gentleman is capable at first glance. You can live a good life with him."

Even in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, if a man had enough money to eat three meals a day, he was living a good life. Being rich and wealthy is an attraction that remains unchanged for thousands of years.

During the meal, Zheng Dan naturally sat next to Li Yunze and served him to eat and drink.

Drinking in the early morning does not mean that you are an alcoholic, but in this era, wine is more like a drink.

Li Yunze accepted it calmly and accepted Zheng Dan's service like an uncle.

After breakfast, Li Yunze waved his hand and told Zheng Dan to go about his business.

After cleaning up, Mother Zheng stayed at home and continued to prepare meals. The head of the Zheng family and Zheng Chai would be back for breakfast later.

Zheng Dan, on the other hand, went out carrying the clothes at home.

Li Yunze asked the Public Transport Ban to take out his full set of tools and hand-make a spinning machine in the yard.

It's either a large machine or a wooden spinning machine, but its efficiency is much higher than what Zheng's mother is using now.

By the time the head of the Zheng family and Zheng Chai returned from work, the spinning machine was almost ready.

Li Yunze asked the public transport team to deliver the spinning machine and explain how to use it.

As for himself, he went out for a leisurely stroll.

There is a stream flowing outside Zhuluo Village, and at the end of the stream is the Puyang River several miles away.

When Li Yunze came to the Puyang River, a group of village girls were washing clothes in the water by the river.

The so-called washing clothes actually means washing clothes.

In this era before washing machines, cleaning clothes was done entirely by hand and relied on natural water sources.

Basically, like cooking, it is one of the main jobs that women spend their entire lives working on.

The conditions in Zhuluo Village are not bad, and the people who rely on raising silkworms, planting mulberries, hunting and catching fish are pretty good.

If you live in a poor place, you may not even have a few pieces of clothing.

Li Yunze stood on the roadside, looking at the girls wearing gauze.

Next to Zheng Dan is a young girl.

That beautiful face made Li Yunze feel slightly distracted.

As the saying goes, 'beautiful colors conceal the present and the past, and lotus flowers shame the jade face. '

The girl put down the clothes in her hands, frowned and raised her hand to cover her heart, looking uncomfortable.

Zheng Dan on the side hurriedly stepped forward to help, "Yi Guang, are you sick again?"

"Xizi Huansha crossed the bank of the stream, frowning and stroking his breasts as he swayed in the water. '

Li Yunze sighed softly and walked over.

"nothing."

The beautiful Shi Yiguang shook his head slightly and smiled at Zheng Dan, "Just wait for a while."

Zheng Dan also sighed. Doctors have said that this is a disease brought from the mother's womb, and medicine is useless.

Congenital genetic diseases were basically considered terminal diseases in ancient times, because they really didn’t know how to treat them, or even what the disease was.

If nothing else, Shi Yiguang should have congenital heart disease.

In order to ease Shi Yiguang's mood, Zheng Dan looked around, then suddenly pointed at a fish swimming in the water and shouted, "Look, this fish was so fascinated by Yi Guang's beauty that it sank to the bottom of the water!"
