After the Republic of China

Chapter 1 Preface
In [-], the winter of Yangcheng was covered with silver.

Shao Garden's garden-style house is really beautifully decorated in this cold winter.

In the courtyard, a young woman is even more exquisite and beautiful, not inferior to this classical garden at all.

I saw her holding the prescription in her hand, looking at it, and sniffing the powder that she had just grinded.

Probably the medicine powder was wrong, she sighed softly, "Oh, it failed again, could it be that there is something wrong with the prescription?"

The way she frowns slightly makes people feel pity and love, but unfortunately, she is the only one here.

The girl is not alone, she is the eldest daughter of this mansion, Shao Yunshi, nicknamed Mangu.

Probably because I couldn't see the problem in the prescription anymore, Miss Shao sighed helplessly, "Could it be that my memory has a problem?"

She murmured this sentence, and she couldn't help being a little dazed again.

Thinking of my previous life, it was full of turmoil and sadness.

In Yangcheng at the end of Ming Dynasty, she was the eldest daughter of the governor's family. After the city was broken, she opened her eyes to see the eldest daughter of the modern Shao family, Shao Yunshi.

This girl's life was not good, and after she fell into the water and died, she became the woman who came at the end of Ming Dynasty.

Fortunately, the original body who was only five years old at the time had no memory.

Moreover, because the little girl has a reconciled mother, she is a bit lonely, but it didn't make her reveal her secrets.

After such a change, she stumbled and stumbled all the way, and more than ten years passed.

Now, it has been the 21st year of the People's Republic of China.

Ever since she fell into the water at the age of five and almost died, she was often brought up by her aunt in Suzhou.

After being treated with care and kindness by the old man, she gradually let go of her temper.

Even those chaotic and depressing scenes in the previous life have been forgotten a lot.

However, since she knew that this era was also a period of frequent chaos, she suddenly put away her ignorance and focused on researching all means to save her life.

Grinding recipes is one of them.

A 'creak' sound interrupted Miss Shao's thoughts, and the door of the refining room was pushed open from the outside.

Miss Shao turned her head slightly, saw the person coming, and asked: "The things have been delivered, so you can see someone?"

The one who answered was her junior junior sister, Yang Xiaodong.

Seeing that, Xiaodong was a little depressed and said: "I didn't see the real master, only Uncle Geng who was guarding the gate, and he has already put away the things."

Miss Shao put down the prescription in her hand, pushed the teacup to Xiaodong, and said, "Uncle Geng, do you know when Brother Luo will be back?"

Brother Luo, Luo Congbai is a lay disciple of Monk Jiyuan in Daming Temple.

Because Mr. Shao and Monk Jiyuan had a good relationship, Luo Congbai and Miss Shao could be regarded as acquaintances since childhood, quite like childhood sweethearts.

"Uncle Geng didn't say when Brother Luo will come back." Xiaodong recalled the news he heard on the street today, and rolled his eyes, "By the way, Senior Sister, do you think Brother Luo will also go to Shanghai? "

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Shao Yunshi simply looked at Xiaodong seriously, with a face full of evidence.

Seeing her senior sister looking over, Xiaodong hurriedly sat upright, and said with a low voice, "When I go out in the morning, I hear the newsboys shouting, and caring people from all walks of life in Shanghai donate their money to fight against the situation, and so on."

"Did you buy this morning newspaper for me?" After hearing this, Shao Yunshi hurriedly looked at Xiaodong's hand.

Xiaodong blushed when she heard this, and said with a sneer, "I was in a hurry to hear the news, so I forgot about it."

"you……"

Seeing that the senior sister was about to be reprimanded, Xiaodong hurriedly said: "Oh, I can't say I forgot, there were so many people buying newspapers this morning, I was a little late, and the newspapers were sold out."

When Shao Yunshi heard this, she gave Xiaodong a helpless look, and if she had known about it, she would have asked Ximei to go out and buy it.

In her previous life, she often followed her father, grandparents and brothers to read the court's mansion newspaper, and often listened to her elders analyze the general situation of the court for her.

In this world, it is more convenient than before. Not only do the government houses have mansion newspapers, but there are newsboys selling newspapers everywhere on the streets.

Reading newspapers has become something she must do every day, and she is not used to not doing it today.

Xiaodong knew that he had messed up something today, so he hurriedly said, "Otherwise, I'll go to the printing press to have a look, maybe there are still rough drafts."

Shao Yunshi shook her head, "No need, most of the newspapers these days have the same content, and there is no news."

this?Xiaodong was a little embarrassed and said: "But senior sister has been collecting newspapers all the time. If I stop for a day, I'm afraid it will be bad?"

Shao Yunshi reads the newspaper every day, leaving useful information in order to analyze the current situation.

Not to mention, whether it is the Shao family, the old aunt Yan's family in Suzhou, or even the grandfather Lu's family in Qingdao, they have avoided several disasters because of her good habit.

Seeing Xiaodong stammering, Shao Yunshi waved her hands, "Now that the situation in Shanghai has been established, it is imperative to fight."

"This?" Xiaodong's heart pounded, "Senior Sister, why don't you just buy a newspaper, or if it's not good enough, I'll pick up someone else's read."

Shao Yunshi shook her head, "No need, no matter how this battle is fought, ordinary newspapers will not publish it. In this way, there is nothing wrong with missing a day of newspapers."

Listening to the senior sister's analysis, Xiaodong put it down, turned around and said, "Brother Luo ordered so many trauma medicines in a hurry, they must be sent to Shanghai."

This girl is really getting to the bottom of things today.

Shao Yunshi nodded her head helplessly, and said, "It's better that you don't ask about Brother Luo's matter."

Feeling guilty, Xiaodong stuck out his tongue, "Didn't I tell you at home?"

"That doesn't work either." Shao Yunshi rolled her eyes at Xiaodong, "If you are outside, if you meet Brother Luo, you shouldn't recognize him rashly."

Xiaodong often follows his senior sister, reads newspapers, and reads some advanced books, so he has some idea of ​​what the mysterious Brother Luo is doing.

"Don't worry, senior sister, I'll save it." After thinking for a while, she hurriedly suppressed her voice and said, "I went to the street today, and I heard what people said, and someone was arrested again."

Shao Yunshi sighed with a sullen face: "In the face of foreign humiliation, these people still only think about themselves, is there any help?"

Thinking of the various obstacles her father and brother encountered in their previous life when they fought against the Qing Dynasty, Shao Yunshi only felt uncomfortable.

Xiaodong felt aggrieved seeing her senior sister suffer.

She often contacts the lowest level of civilians, and knows the joys and sorrows of life better.

So, she immediately said: "Nowadays, everyone's life is hard enough, if, if Nawa comes in, it will be a good day."

That's not the case, Shao Yunshi felt terrified when she recalled the destruction of the city and the evil done by the Qing soldiers in her previous life.

Although, at that time, my father was transferred to another place earlier, but the tragic situation was passed on through people's sorrow.

Thinking of this, Shao Yunshi frowned, feeling distracted for a moment, Yangcheng is not far from Shanghai.

Xiaodong thought about Uncle Geng for a while, and hurriedly said: "By the way, Uncle Geng said that Aunt Geng's health has improved. I want to ask my senior sister, do you have time for a follow-up visit?"
