Do you know that it starts with Meng Tong?

The man's name is Zhang Ming. He is not a native of Youyang, but fled from the north.

When they arrived at Xiyin Village, Zhang Ming had run out of dry food and had not had any water or rice for three days. He was about to starve to death. Wei Mingzhao happened to return home from school in the county and found Zhang Ming who had fainted at the entrance of the village and took him back. The family gave him porridge and water and took good care of him, so Zhang Ming was able to save his life.

Zhang Ming settled in Xiyin Village from then on, relying on his own strength to work as a farmhand for the big families in the village, working hard and without complaint. Over the past few years, he had saved several acres of thin farmland.

As for his wife Wei Ruyi, she has lived in Xiyin Village for generations, farming and studying. Her father Wei An is also a scholar like Wei Mingzhao. Although he has not passed the college examination, he has passed the county examination and the government examination. He is considered a preparatory scholar.

When Wei An was 36 years old, he contracted a serious illness and his family began to decline.

Wei Ruyi's sister Wei Shuyi was only [-] years old at the time, when a woman was at her most youthful and beautiful, but she was forced to sell herself to an official as a side wife in exchange for money to treat her father's illness.

Unfortunately, Wei An still died of illness. After Wei Ruyi passed away, the elders of the same clan made the decision and betrothed to Zhang Ming, who was not yet married at the time.

Zhang Ming was a migrant or a hired servant, and his family only had a few acres of thin farmland. If Wei Ruyi's family had not fallen into decline, Zhang Ming would never have been able to marry such a beautiful and literate girl.

Therefore, after getting married, Zhang Ming cherished Wei Ruyi very much. The couple lived in harmony, and although their life was a bit bitter, it was also enjoyable.

Just a year later, Wei Ruyi gave birth to a fat boy named Zhang Xu, who just turned seven this year.

Recalling the tragic experience of Wei Ruyi's family, and then thinking of what happened to his predecessor, Wei Chen couldn't help but shudder.

In ancient times, this disease was too terrible. It often destroyed families. Wei Ruyi's family and his own family were all destroyed by the disease. Even the emperor who was pampered and pampered only escaped the disaster through good luck.

Oneself in the future

You must exercise your body well. Radio gymnastics, Ba Duan Jin, Wu Qin Xi, etc. must be practiced slowly on this weak body.

Just as Wei Chen was thinking about it, Wei Ruyi, who was standing at the door, said, "Brother Chen, your illness is just right and you can't move around freely. Just rest in bed and drink the medicine first."

As Wei Ruyi spoke, she walked to Wei Chen's bed, handed over a medicine bowl, scooped out a spoonful of brown soup, blew it to her mouth a few times, and then carefully put it to Wei Chen's mouth.

Wei Chen glanced at the bowl of soup that didn't look very tasty, and knew that Zhang Ming and Wei Ruyi had worked hard to get it for him. Although Wei Chen was a little resistant, he still obediently put his head together. He walked over, frowned and took a sip.

To Wei Chen's surprise, the medicine was not as bitter as he imagined, but rather bitter and sweet.

Seeing Wei Chen's brows softening, Zhang Ming said happily: "I know Brother Chen, you haven't liked taking medicine since you were a child, so I bought some apricot nectar and mixed it in. The doctor said it will help your recovery."

Wei Chen's nose was slightly sore and he wanted to say something, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something and he couldn't say a word.

Noticing the change in his expression, Wei Ruyi quickly said to Zhang Ming: "Okay, I've drank the medicine today. It's already so late. Let's talk about it tomorrow if there's anything else. What Brother Chen needs now is to rest."

"Oh, yes, yes, brother Chen, please rest first. We will come see you tomorrow."

Zhang Ming was gently tugged on the corner of his clothes by his wife, and then he reacted belatedly. He opened the corner of his mouth to reveal a few big yellow teeth and smiled at Wei Chen to say goodbye. He blew out the oil lamp, turned around and closed the door.

The room was dark, Wei Chen lay on the bed, looking at the moonlight outside the window, unable to calm down for a long time.

He was not worried about the food and clothing in front of him. Although this seemed to be a big problem, with Zhang Ming and Wei Ruyi here, at least he would not starve to death.

He is not worried about his future destiny, because he believes that as long as he can recover, his destiny will be in his own hands.

The reason why he couldn't sleep was because he found that he didn't reject the Zhang couple's care at all, and was even a little eager and excited.

Is it because of the fusion of memories?Or is it because I was too lonely in my previous life?

Wei Chen couldn't tell the difference.

But his past life experience made him understand that hard work and struggle can buy success and status, money and beautiful women, but they cannot buy sincere feelings, which are the most precious things in the world.

Therefore, Wei Chen decided to open his heart and work hard to accept this gift from God and enjoy this hard-won relationship.

……

The night was spent in random thoughts, and before I knew it, it was daylight, and birds were chirping for food outside the window, which also woke up Wei Chen in the bed.

After waking up, Wei Chen felt that he was in much better spirits and the pain in his body had been reduced by most.

After all, he is only ten years old. Youth is his capital, and his restored vitality is thousands of times stronger than those of the decrepit old people.

Wei Chen put on his clothes, stretched out his hands and feet, slowly moved his feet under the bed, tapped his toes, and put on his shoes.

After barely walking a few steps while holding on to the wall, Wei Chen finally got a glimpse of the whole room. Only then did he discover that in the corner of the west wall of the room,

There is actually a bookcase.

Of course, it's barely a bookcase. It's just a poplar shelf set up on the wall, with dozens of books sparsely placed on it.

Wei Chen remembered that these were the collection of books left by Wei Mingzhao.

This is the benefit of having a scholar father. Although Wei Mingzhao has passed away many years ago, all the books he read during his lifetime have been left behind.

Wei Chen picked up a book at random and glanced at the cover. It was "Analects of Confucius", which is the annotation of "The Analects of Confucius" in the Four Books and Five Classics. The three characters Wei Mingzhao were written on the title page.

Wei Chen opened the book, and the pages were made of white cotton paper. The font was similar to Wei Chen's Song style in his previous life. Of course, it was traditional Chinese.

Wei Chen studied ancient philology in his previous life. He had read a large number of ancient books written in traditional Chinese characters and was already familiar with the conversion of simplified and traditional Chinese characters.

This "Analects of Confucius" has exquisite paper and ink, and is well-engraved. There are also circled sentences left by Wei Mingzhao in the book, so Wei Chen can read it very easily.

If you encounter something you don't understand, you can also read the notes left by Wei Mingzhao on the book page, combine them with Wei Chen's memories of his previous life, and compare the two to solve the problem.

After reading it through, Wei Chen had a whim and tried to memorize it silently. To Wei Chen's surprise, he actually memorized the first volume of "Analects of Confucius" directly!

Wei Chen himself was shocked when he accomplished this feat. According to the memory of his predecessor, he was obviously dull and had not even memorized the simplest "Three Character Classic". How could he suddenly become so powerful?

Wei Chen couldn't believe it, so he quickly turned to the second volume and continued reading. After each volume, he tried to memorize it silently. After memorizing it, he compared it with the original text to check whether there were any errors or omissions.

One morning later, Wei Chen closed his book, looked at the "Analects of Confucius" that he had memorized, and fell into deep thought.

After rebirth, I became a genius of endorsement?

Chapter 3 Zhang Song’s Ability

"The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" records such a story. Liu Zhang of Yizhou sent his minister Zhang Song to Xudu as an envoy, and met Cao Cao's Yang Xiu, who was famous for his intelligence.

Yang Xiu had always been proud of his talent and did not take the world's heroes seriously. When he saw Zhang Song's short stature and unattractive appearance, his first impression was not good, and he looked down on him in his heart.

So, Yang Xiu took out the "New Book of Meng De", a military book written by Cao Cao himself, and showed it to Zhang Song. He wanted to use it to show off his lord's martial arts, and also to ridicule Zhang Song.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Song dismissed this book after reading it and said: "A three-foot-old child in Shu can recite this book secretly. What is the "New Book"? This was written by an unknown person during the Warring States Period. Prime Minister Cao stole it for himself and stopped it. It’s so easy to hide it!”

Of course, Yang Xiu didn't believe that his talented and strategic lord was a copycat, so he refuted it on the spot.

Zhang Song said, "If you don't believe it, I'll try to recite it."

So Zhang Song recited the thirteen-volume "New Book of Meng De" from beginning to end on the spot, and there was not a word wrong.

Yang Xiu was shocked. Only then did he realize that Zhang Song had the ability to recall memories after seeing them. From then on, he looked at Zhang Song with admiration.

Wei Chen started reading the Three Kingdoms not long after he became literate in his previous life. He read the 120 chapters of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" over and over countless times, and naturally he has a deep memory of the story of Yang Xiu and Zhang Song.

But Wei Chen never thought that he would actually have "Zhang Song's ability" now, even more so!

The characters in romance novels may have been artistically exaggerated to a certain extent and are somewhat different from the characters' real images, but Wei Chen's abilities are real.

"Analects of Confucius" consists of twenty volumes, divided into two volumes, with more than 20 words. It takes one morning for ordinary people to read it briefly, but Wei Chen can read it without missing a word and memorize it immediately. It has to be thoroughly understood.

It is not an exaggeration to say that this kind of ability is a special function.

"Is it because of the fusion of memories from two lives? Or has traveling through time and space had some unknown impact on my consciousness and thinking?"

Wei Chen was puzzled, and in the end he could only attribute the reason to time travel. After all, the matter of time travel itself was mysterious enough, and it seemed reasonable to add some other "gifts".

In any case, having this ability to remember something is definitely a good thing for Wei Chen, at least it will be very helpful for Wei Chen to take the imperial examination in the future.

"Brother Chen."

A familiar child's voice sounded outside the door, interrupting Wei Chen's thoughts, and a peaceful smile appeared on his face.

"It's A Xu, if anything happens, come in and talk!"

Zhang Xu opened the door in response, holding a food plate in his hand with a casserole on it. The smell of mutton was already coming out before he even opened the lid.

Zhang Xu was seven years old, only half the height of an adult, and his strength was far from mature. The casserole on the plate and the food inside seemed to weigh several kilograms. Zhang Xu held it in his hand and shook it, with his face Everyone is trying their best.

Wei Chen quickly took the food plate that might fall off at any time and asked, "Why are you the one bringing the food? Where are Aunt Wei and Uncle Wei?"

Most people in Xiyin Village have the surname Wei. They came from the same origin a hundred years ago. In terms of seniority, Wei Ruyi and Wei Chen's father Wei Mingzhao are considered the same generation, so Wei Chen calls her Aunt Wei and Zhang.

Ming is uncle.

Seeing that the food plate was placed firmly on the table by Wei Chen, Zhang Xu relaxed and sat down on the ground, sticking out his little tongue and gasping: "Dad went to work in the fields early in the morning, Auntie." Went to the county seat."

"Then who made this meal?"

Wei Chen asked, pointing to the casserole on the table.

"My grandma made it and stewed it in the pot before she left. I just lit the fire to heat it up."

Zhang Xu said nonchalantly, as if looking after the house alone was already commonplace for him.

Wei Chen was secretly stunned. It was indeed good for a child from a poor family to become a master early. Thinking about his previous life, he never entered the kitchen even once when he was a teenager. Wei Chen couldn't help but feel ashamed.

Zhang Xu took a breath, then got up from the ground again, cleaned up the messy table in a few moments, then opened the lid of the casserole, put the wooden spoon into the pot, turned around and helped Wei Chen sit down to eat.

Wei Chen sat at the table, looking down at the hot and fragrant mutton porridge in front of him, his nose felt sour for no reason.

At this time, the habit of farmers was to have two meals a day, one in the morning and one in the evening. They would eat thin when they were free and dry when they were busy. They could barely fill their stomachs every day.

The Zhang family is just a middle-to-lower farmer's family, so it is no exception.

But since Wei Chen regained consciousness, he has had three meals a day, including eggs, well-cooked mutton, and thick millet porridge.

No wonder the Zhang family only has a few acres of land, but Zhang Ming, a strong laborer, has to go to the fields before dawn every day. He returns home very late, exhausted, and most likely works as a helper for a large household in the village.

And Wei Ruyi hurried into the county town, probably to go to the county town grocery store to sell the straw mats she had laid overnight...

"What's wrong, brother Chen, eat quickly, it won't be good if it's cold."

Zhang Xu saw Wei Chen sitting still and urged in a low voice.

Wei Chen shook his head and let go of his worries. He turned to look at Zhang Xu who was sitting upright on the small bench. Seeing that he was swallowing saliva unconsciously, he couldn't help but smile and said:

"Axu, come over and eat together. I can't eat that much in one meal."

Zhang Xu was young and had a greedy nature, and he hadn't eaten meat for a long time. When the porridge was hot, the aroma of the mutton aroused the greed in his stomach. He only remembered his mother's instructions before leaving and didn't eat it secretly.

Now that Wei Chen invited him, Zhang Xu couldn't hold it in any longer. He immediately went to get a wooden spoon, stood upright in front of the table, and started sharing the food with Wei Chen one spoon at a time.

After eating, Zhang Xu patted his round belly, burped with satisfaction, and then consciously put away the dishes.

Wei Chen helped them clean up, then straightened his clothes and walked out slowly.

Now that he is gradually recovering, he no longer needs help from others and can go out for a walk on his own.

Now that he has made up his mind to exercise, Wei Chen will not be lazy. He must regain his health as soon as possible and gradually replenish his physical strength.
