Nanyang
Xinye County

Yin's Manor
"It's an honor for my Yin family to come here to celebrate my mother's birthday."

Yin Lu, the new head of the Yin family, bowed to the visiting guests and greeted everyone with a smile.

"Lihua, hello to all the uncles."

Yin Lu said to the shy girl hiding in the corner.

"Hello, uncles~" The 11-year-old girl Yin Lihua walked to her father Yin Lu, and said hello to the visiting relatives, friends, neighbors, and children of powerful noble families.

"Hahaha! Good, good, this little girl is very sensible." A 26-year-old young man was invited to the Yin family, bringing gifts to celebrate the birthday of the old grandmother of the Yin family.

"Brother Bosheng, sit down quickly." The head of the Yin family, Yin Lu, laughed at the young man.

"Okay, okay." The young man also laughed heartily, and then said to a younger youth behind him: "Brother Xiu, send your greetings to Patriarch Yin."

The young man who was about 21 years old stepped forward, first glanced at the 11-year-old girl Yin Lihua, who was so beautiful, and then bowed to Yin Lu: "Boy Liu Xiu, I have seen Patriarch Yin."

"Haha, brother Uncle Wen, sit down!" Yin Lu beckoned Liu Xiu to kneel inside.

These two are the sons of Liu Qin, the magistrate of Nandun County. Although Liu Qin is dead, they still have some status, and they are also relatives of the Han family, so they were invited by the most powerful Yin family in Xinye County.

In terms of seniority, Liu Xiu is Yin Lu's peer and Yin Lihua's uncle.

There is a saying in Xinye County: Officials are treated as Jinwu, and wives are regarded as Yinlihua.

The Yin family is the biggest tycoon in Xinye County, people in Xinye County and surrounding counties all worship the Yin family, and want to become the son-in-law of the Yin family, so that they will be prosperous and wealthy from then on.

The Yin family has [-] mu of land, [-] tenant farmers, hundreds of slaves, and runs a textile workshop. The luxurious carriages used for daily travel are about the size of a small prince. They are a well-deserved powerful family and are envied by countless people. with.

Rumor has it that the previous head of the Yin family was an ordinary farmer, and he didn't eat his last meal.

Decades ago, Chariot General Wang Jian led fifty thousand cavalry to destroy the Swan Goose Heaven.

Hongyan Emperor Shentu was defeated and fled south to Xinye County.

Shen Tusheng pleaded with the previous head of the Yin family, hoping to take refuge in the thatched hut of the Yin family.

The previous head of the Yin family agreed.

But when the chariot and cavalry general Wang Jian was killed in Xinye County.

The previous Patriarch of the Yin family repented in order to reward him. He told the chariot general Wang Jian of Shentu Sheng's hiding place.

Subsequently, Hongyan Emperor Shen Tusheng was beheaded by Chariot General Wang Jian.

As a reward, Wang Jian gave a lot of money to the previous head of the Yin family, so that the previous head of the Yin family could use the money to annex land and expand his family business.

In just over a dozen years, relying on crazy land acquisitions, the Yin family has transformed from a self-cultivating peasant family into the largest powerful family in Xinye County.

Not only that, the head of the Yin family also asked the Liaodong Wang family to marry a maid from the Wang family, which made the Yin family very happy.

Their Yin family was able to marry a woman from the powerful General Sima's family, even if it was just a maid, that would be a beautiful scene, so many powerful noble families in Nanyang took the initiative to find the Yin family and marry with the Yin family, hoping to have Opportunity can also hug the thigh of the Great Sima General Wang Tong.

But not long after, General Sima Wang Tong gave up his official position and resigned to return to his hometown. The reason was that he didn't want to be in the same boat, and wanted to go back to his hometown in Liaodong to pick chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, and see Nanshan leisurely. Live a life of poverty and freedom, no need to look at the faces of the rich and powerful, and can study the classics of sages with peace of mind.

The gentry all over the world praised Wang Tong, the patriarch of the royal family in Liaodong, as a man of high integrity and noble character.

The reputation of the Wang family in Liaodong was very, very good. The common people praised the Wang family for benevolence, justice and love for the people, the gentry praised the Wang family for its integrity, and the imperial court praised the Wang family for its loyalty to the emperor and patriotism.

Moreover, after the chariot and cavalry general Wang Jian embezzled ink for military expenses, the then great Sima general Wang Tong did not choose to cover up, but killed his relatives righteously and personally arrested Wang Jian and put him in prison.

This incident also made people in the world admire the Wang family even more, thinking that the Wang family is one of the families with the best family style and the most gentlemen among all the families in the world.

Not long after, the head of the Yin family died of illness, and his son Yin Lu became the new head of the Yin family.

Yin Lu has two sons and a daughter. The two sons are named Yin Shi and Yin Jiu, and the daughter is Yin Lihua.

"Daddy, that weird Shushu, keeps looking at people." Sensing Liu Xiu's malicious gaze, Xiaogu Liangyin Lihua tugged at Yinlu's sleeve, pointed at Liu Xiu and mumbled to Yinlu.

"Ah? Hahahaha!" Yin Lu glanced at his youngest daughter, Yin Lihua, and then at Liu Xiu, the 'weird millet' that Yin Lihua was pointing at. , Say hello to your uncle!"

All the guests took their seats one after another, and the old grandmother of the Yin family (the maidservant of the Wang family) smiled at everyone and said, "Thank you all for coming to celebrate the old man's birthday."

She is a servant girl of the royal family in Liaodong. Her biggest dream in the past was to become the wife and concubine of the Wang family's children, but the Wang family's children are deeply married to the three major families. No matter how beautiful other women are, it is difficult for the Wang family's children to marry.

Later, the previous head of the Yin family went to Liaodong in person, knelt outside the Wang's manor, with heavy snow on his head, and begged the Wang family to marry a woman.

In the end, Wang Jian, a former chariot general at home, was moved by the previous head of the Yin family, so he randomly picked a beautiful maid from the manor, gave this maid the surname Wang, and then rewarded this maid to the previous head of the Yin family to be his wife. .

And this servant girl is now the old grandmother of the Yin family.

Then, the banquet began.

……

"Please give me something to eat, woo woo woo—"

When all the guests presented gifts to celebrate the birthday of the old grandmother of the Yin family, many hungry people outside the manor knelt on the ground and begged the Yin family for some food.

"Go away!" The servants of the Yin family at the gate of the manor drove the hungry people away, lest these hungry people affect the appetite of the guests in the manor.

Some hungry people lie outside the manor of Yinjia Manor, waiting for the leftover food of the guests to be poured into the stinky ditch, and then flow out of the manor along the stinky ditch, and then they fish out the food covered in feces and urine Eat to fill your stomach.

……

In Yin's Manor

The guests were very drunk, and a few dancers were dancing to entertain the guests. From time to time, some guests would go crazy after getting drunk, and sweep the food on the table, and then some maids from the Yin family would sweep it away. Clean up the food on the ground, and pour the dusty and drool-covered food into the manor ditch, and finally the food will flow down the ditch to the outside of the manor, and be eaten by the hungry people who are about to starve to death.

In this way, it can be regarded as a good deed by the Yin family. After all, many powerful families are worried that the image of the manor will be affected by the hungry people surrounding the stinking ditch outside their manor, so they deliberately do not pour food into the stinking ditch to prevent the hungry people from surrounding the stinking ditch outside the manor. Fish for food.

The head of the Yin family has a heart like a saint, so he couldn't bear the heart of the hungry people to starve to death, so he poured the excess food into the stinky ditch.

A good person will eventually be rewarded with good things. The Yin family has done so many good things, and it will definitely grow stronger!
At this time, a guest talked about the recently popular prophecy: "Have you heard that there is a popular prophecy recently, what is it called... called... Liu Xiudang is the emperor."

The rest of the guests said after hearing this: "Liu Xiu, that's a clan member of the Han Dynasty, and a master of ancient literature and classics. He is the national teacher of the Daxin Dynasty, the Duke of Jiaxin, and his status is higher than that of the Sangong. Now the people of the Xin Dynasty are struggling to survive. Everyone expects a new saint to save the world, and this saint can only be Liu Xiu, a national teacher who is more sincere than the hypocritical Wang Mang."

"Yes, yes, I just don't know why Liu Xiu, the national teacher, elected Wang Mang, a hypocrite, to be the emperor. It's really... ah!" A scholar guest shook his head and sighed. He also thought Wang Mang was a saint before, and created a Prophecy: Wang Mang should be the Son of Heaven.

Now Wang Mang failed to govern the world well, so the circle of scholars like them created a new prophecy: Liu Xiu should be the emperor.

This Liu Xiu naturally refers to Liu Xiu (Liu Xin), a great scholar of ancient Chinese classics.

While the guests were discussing when the new dynasty will be destroyed, and when another sage Liu Xiu (Liu Xin) will become the emperor to save the world...

"My name is also Liu Xiu. Couldn't this prophecy be referring to me?"

In the crowd, the inconspicuous Liu Xiu suddenly said such a sentence.

???

All the guests turned to look at Liu Xiu, and then laughed loudly: "Just you? Haha!"

"Uncle Wen, although you are also called Liu Xiu, how can you be the emperor? Haha! Don't make such jokes in the future. You just happen to have the same name as the real Liu Xiu." The acquaintances from the gentry taunted Liu Xiu slightly.

"What is the real Liu Xiu? My name is also Liu Xiu. Why is he the real Liu Xiu? Could it be that I am a fake Liu Xiu?"

"Er..." All the guests were speechless by Liu Xiu's words, but still no one believed that the Liu Xiu in front of them was the Liu Xiu in the prophecy, because they scholars created "Liu Xiu as the Son of Heaven" "In this prophecy, I hope that Liu Xiu (Liu Xin) will become the emperor, and then carry out more thorough retro reforms, which are more retro than Wang Mang's reforms!
