Yipin Tianxia

Chapter 1 Tofu Xishi

In the last years of the Zhou Dynasty, the world was in chaos.A large number of heroes came out to compete in the Central Plains.Years of wars have caused the people to be displaced and miserable.

After dozens of years of hustle and bustle, the country was decided by a generation of emperors and emperors of the Gao family.The name of the country was Liang, the capital was established in Pingyang, and it was changed to Yuan Taishi, which finally brought peace to the world.Although there are still a few remnants of the previous dynasty making trouble, the general situation is gone and there is no danger.



In the fifth year of Taishi, the seventh day of November.

More than 2000 miles southwest of Pingyang, the capital of the Liang Dynasty, a small town called Huaian at the foot of Wutong Mountain is ushering in a new day.

Blue smoke curled up in the thin white mist, and domestic hens clucked, looking for increasingly rare insects in the frost-withered grass.

Suddenly, an autumn cricket jumped up vigorously, causing a flock of chickens to flock to a scorched black ruined wall.Judging from the appearance, this place should have been hit by a fire not long ago, and there is still a lingering burnt smell.

"Go, go, don't add trouble!" A young woman suddenly stood up from the half-collapsed kitchen on the other side of the broken wall, waving a pot and spoon to drive away the chickens.

She seemed to be about thirty, and although she was dressed in a silk hairpin cloth dress, her appearance was rare and beautiful in the countryside, especially her pair of red and phoenix eyes, which looked bright and pleasing to the eye even when she lost her temper.It's just that he is frowning tightly at this moment, obviously in a very bad mood.

When the passing villagers saw it, they all felt pity.

This beautiful lady was originally the daughter of the Shi family who made tofu in the town. Later, during the war, she married a troubled son named Mu. However, she was separated due to the war, and she still lives with her daughter at her mother's house.My natal family suffered another fire recently. It was really unlucky that the house was leaking and it was raining overnight.

"Hey, Mrs. Mu, who made you unhappy this early in the morning?" As she spoke, a tall and thin old woman with flowers on her temples came over from the alley with a smile.

The lady of the Mu family wanted to ignore it, but she lowered her head to look at her stove which was blackened by the firewood, and forced herself to smile.

"Which family is Aunt He going to say goodbye to this early in the morning? At least tell me, and help my family to cut down?"

Matchmaker He smiled until the wrinkles on her old face bloomed, stepped over the dilapidated short wall, and stepped in without disdain, "Isn't this just a great job to take care of you?"

"Is there a job to take care of me?" The lady of the Mu family looked at Matchmaker He distrustfully. What do you think?

Matchmaker He was a little embarrassed, and lowered her voice mysteriously, "Let's go into the room and talk."

"No need, everyone in the house is sick, so it's inconvenient to see others. If you have anything to say, you can talk here." The lady of the Mu family flatly declined, lifted the lid of the pot and stirred the porridge a few times.

Matchmaker He took a look at the contents of the pot, and quickly found the topic, "Tsk tsk, just cooking some sweet potato and vegetable leaves this early in the morning is enough? Miss Mu, even if you don't think about yourself, you should also think about the old and the young." Don’t you think so? I heard that your father, mother and your daughter were all hurt..."

"Okay! Just say what you have to say, don't play sloppy with me here."

Seeing that she was about to lose her face, Matchmaker He gritted her teeth and told the truth, "Ms. Mu's family, you are a straightforward person, so I will ask you to say something unpleasant. Once your man has been away for more than ten years, I'm afraid it has already been more than good. But you are a lucky lady. You know that the barbarian in the east of the city is a rich man. He just lost his wife, so he fell in love with you? Now ask me to bring it Speaking of which, as long as you are willing to nod your head, he will immediately marry you with three matches and six hires..."

"Fuck!" The lady of the Mu family was so angry that she couldn't speak for a long time. She wanted to throw porridge all over the old man, but she couldn't bear to think that this was the family's breakfast, so she knelt down and grabbed a handful of stones and threw it away. go out.She put her hips on her hips and scolded angrily, "You know that I have a man. Is there anyone who talks to someone like that? Although I haven't read a book, my man is a decent son of a family. At least teach me the word of shame!" He has no news for a day, and I wait for him for a day. He will not come back for a lifetime, and I will wait for him for a lifetime! Even if the dynasty changes, there is no kingly law that forces a married woman to marry. You old man If you dare to pester me again, be careful if I sue you at the Yamen, I might strip you of your skin!"

Matchmaker He was ashamed and embarrassed by the scolding, seeing that many people in the neighborhood had already stood up and pointed out, she could only cover her face halfway and said, "I am out of kindness, I saw your family was in disaster before I found a way out for you. He's just a sleazy tofu seller, don't think he's really a golden phoenix if he calls you a tofu beauty. It's not uncommon to flirt with men in the past, so why are you pretending to be noble now?"

The lady of the Mu family was furious, and she chased after her with a pot and spoon, "Grandma opened the door for business, and she didn't steal or rob, but what's the matter with talking to men? Is it better than you, an old man who picks and plays tricks all day long?" The goods are not as good? Which eye of yours saw me flirting with others? If you don’t tell me clearly, my aunt will pick out your eyeballs and use it as a slap in the face!”

While talking, the two started fighting in the alley.

After all, Matchmaker He is also in her fifties, and she is not as young and flexible as the Mu family's wife. She was hit several times in a row, screaming like a pig in pain.The red flowers on the sideburns also fell to the ground early, and they were trampled out of shape.

Seeing that Matchmaker He suffered a great loss, only the neighbors came forward to persuade her, "Okay, Aunt He, you really shouldn't have said such things, why don't you hurry up and apologize to Mrs. Mu's family? Do we really want us to invite Baojia?" Come to be convinced?"

The hatred in He Matchmaker's heart!However, I didn't reason first, so I had no choice but to bear the humiliation and apologize to Mrs. Mu's family.He took another handful of copper coins to make amends, and then he had to get away.

After driving away this disgusting old man, the wife of the Mu family thanked the neighbors, and immediately took the money to buy some millet and came back, added it to the porridge and brought it into the house.

"Father, mother, get up and eat."

An old sigh resounded faintly, "Hui Niang, why are you bothering? Although the matchmaker is hateful, wouldn't you be hated if you beat her up? If someone comes to your door with a grudge, you How would a woman deal with it?"

"But if I keep silent, won't people bully me even more?" Mrs. Mu, Shi Huiniang rolled her eyes coquettishly, handed the porridge that was originally given to the old man to the mother, turned around and went away again. Serve the second bowl.

Aunt Shi sighed, "Old man, don't say a few words. Anyway, you beat and scolded, what's the use of you talking about it? We are old neighbors who have lived for decades, and our surname is He No matter how old you are, do you really dare to kill people and set fires? Think about it, how will we live in the future?"

"How's it going? I don't know!" Daddy Shi, who changed the subject, was also furious, "The house was completely burned, and you and I were injured like this again. Every day, we have a lot of money for medicine. We live to drag our children down. It would be better to die in the fire at that time!"

Aunt Shi cried, "You think I don't want to die? I'm just worried about Mother Hui and her daughter. You said that silly girl Nianfu, what did she come to save us at that time? She was so small that she was smashed until now. Talking, if I can't see her well, I won't be able to close my eyes even if I die."

As soon as the granddaughter's injury was mentioned, Father Shi brought up the old hatred in his heart again, "Everyone talks about raising children to guard against old age, but I can see through Shi Rui's bastard, and his wife is even less of a thing! It's just to read blessings." After finding a good family, she was so ruthless that she set fire to it! As a result, the whole property was burned, but they left us behind and ran away with their children. Just sit and wait for the three of you to die!"

"Bah, bah, what are you talking about so early in the morning?" Hui Niang, who came in with porridge, spat at her father as soon as she entered the door, "Your fate is hard, at least you have to live for a hundred or eighty years to make enough money. If you dare to leave me and Nianfu and leave without making a sound, even if I chase you to the Palace of the King of Hell, I will take your souls back!"

The second elder of the Shi family was full of worries, but he said these words to his daughter in an angry and funny way, and thinking about it again, he was indescribably heartwarming.It is said that the daughter is the little padded jacket of the parents, which is really true.These days, if she hadn't been busy supporting the house these days, the old couple would have found a rope to hang themselves.

"Don't talk about these ghosts and gods early in the morning, beware of retribution. You put the porridge down, and your mother can still move here, so go and see Nianfu."

"Then I don't care about you guys." Madam Hui really missed her daughter, seeing that the old lady had already eaten a mouthful for her father, she put the porridge down bluntly and turned to go out.Walking to the door, she suddenly remembered something, turned her head and said with a smile, "Aunt Li next door came to tell me that she would take me to Ouyang's house for a try. If his family is willing to keep me as a helper, we won't have to worry about running out of money. "

Aunt Shi didn't hear clearly, "Which Yang family?"

"What is the Yang family? It's the Ouyang family who entered the courtyard five times!" Father Shi looked down on his wife, and then said to his daughter, "That's a good family. You go to Haosheng to answer. If you can stay, no matter what. It’s a decent place to go.”

Ai!Hui Niang responded sweetly, and happily went to see her daughter.

But they didn't know that a pair of eyes had already quietly opened next to the thin board wall.
