Chapter 4

Holding a history book in his hand, Liu Mingzhi flipped through it while rubbing his chin and muttering, "What kind of dynasty is the Great Dragon Dynasty? Does the Great Dragon Dynasty exist in Chinese history?"

The records in the history books are very detailed. They are quite familiar with the era from Qinhuang, Hanwu, Wei and Jin dynasties, but there was not a single dynasties before and after the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Taizu Li Yuanmin was born, quelled many rebellions in the world, deterred the grassland tribes and established the Dalong Dynasty, more than 600 years ago.

The Dragon Dynasty turned out to be more than 600 years after the founding of the country, and the later Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties naturally did not exist. Since they did not exist, what kind of era is it now?Liu Mingzhi couldn't help thinking to himself.Moreover, the country has not been subjugated for 600 years, so there is something.

"In the 26th year of Xuande, which emperor's year name is Xuande? Ming? But this is Dalong!"

After flipping through the history books until he fell asleep on the desk, Liu Mingzhi didn't finally figure out what the world is now. When he woke up, the sky was already empty.

"No one came to disturb me. Didn't that girl Ying'er wake me up early at this hour? It's really weird."

It has been a little month since Liu Mingzhi came to the Dragon Dynasty. Every morning, there is a ray of light in the east, and Ying'er, the maid who waits for her daily life, will knock on her door on time to wake her up and read. After knowing her identity Liu Mingzhi secretly secretly rejoiced in his heart that a group performer who didn't get three meals would actually become the eldest son of the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River. This was a huge difference from before.

I originally thought that I don’t have to worry about my livelihood in the future. I can buy two buns on the street at once, eat one and then eat another one, which will make others greedy. I can buy two bowls of soy milk at once, drink one bowl and then drink another. Bowl, envy others.

However, the imaginary world is always ruthlessly broken by reality. The steamed buns are gone, the soy milk is gone, and even the gate of Liu's house can't get out. Liu Mingzhi is completely imprisoned by Lao Tzu Liu Zhi'an.Liu Mingzhi, who became Liu Mingzhi, has not even gone out of the gate of Liu Mansion these days in this world, and he has never seen anything on the streets of Jinling, can you believe it?

Liu Mingzhi also thought about sneaking out to play and play, but since Liu Mingzhi's scandal about the Misty Rain Pavilion incident, Liu Zhi'an has strengthened the Liu Mansion's vigilance to prevent the eldest son from going out again to cause trouble.

Is there a place to go out?Of course, in a place as big as Liu Mansion, it is impossible for all places to be guarded by wardens. For example, the size of the dog hole next to the backyard can fit an adult into it. Liu Mingzhi crouched beside the dog hole and studied a few things. Heaven, but he just couldn't get his heart out to get out, and the distance between the walls turned into a moat, which hindered Liu Mingzhi's longing for the flowery world.

As for the fact that he was able to sleep until the sun rises today, Ying'er didn't bother him because Liu Mingzhi was reading the history books last night and he saw that in the middle of the night, the servant in charge of the lamp outside the door reported to Liu Zhi'an early. An Xin was relieved that his son would actually study hard with the lights on, so he graciously allowed Liu Mingzhi to sleep in.

Ying'er was waiting outside the door and seemed to hear the footsteps of Liu Mingzhi's activities in the house, and knocked gently on the door: "Young master, have you got up? Ying'er brought the washbasin for washing, Master, do you want to do it now? Just wash up."

Liu Mingzhi stretched out for a while, in this evil old society, the days when everything is served by others is easy to make people lazy, but it is cool.

"Come in, just put the basin on the changing rack."

Ying'er heard her young master's greeting, and gently pushed open the door and walked in with a water basin. She quickly turned around with a shout: "Yeah, young master, you get up without clothes." The delicate little face was stained A layer of bright red.

Hearing this, Liu Mingzhi looked at his body. He was wearing pants and shoes. He just randomly approved a shirt with his top naked. The laces on the clothes were not fastened. The weather in the south is not so cold anymore. Now, wearing clothes at night already felt a little bit of heat, Liu Mingzhi had to unbutton his clothes to feel a little bit of coolness.

After putting on the clothes on his body, Liu Mingzhi walked behind Ying'er who was on his back: "Little girl, what are you doing so much care about, the young master obviously didn't put on the clothes properly, how can it change in your mouth? I have no clothes anymore, you must know that if you say something wrong, it will kill people."

Ying'er turned around and looked at Liu Mingzhi who was dressed and was slightly relieved. Cherry's small mouth pouted: "You are a rascal, young master, where is Ying'er so small?" Liu Mingzhi was slightly stunned.

Ying'er looked at Liu Mingzhi, who was staring at her chest, her eyes fixed with a hint of smugness, and then her pretty face turned even redder. on the shelf.

Liu Mingzhi came back to his senses and scolded himself for being extremely shameless. Ying'er is barely 16 years old. Gu washed up.

Ying'er looked at Liu Mingzhi who was washing his face quietly, her clear eyes still showed a curious look, the sisters outside said that the young master did all kinds of evil, molested the women of the good family, kicked the door of the widow's house, and snatched the children's snacks, causing harm to many people. My little sisters, but I don't look like it at all. These days, the young master is not so bad as he said, except that he doesn't like to wear clothes.

When she first heard that Madam arranged her clothes, Liu Mingzhi, the scoundrel child who did all kinds of crimes, Ying'er already had the mentality of knowing her will to die. If the eldest son really cares about him and wants to ruin his innocence, he will die. Show him, guard your innocence.

However, something that made Ying’er puzzled happened. Except for occasionally teasing himself slightly, Liu Mingzhi looked at Ying’er, who was too shy and timid to look up at people, and said viciously when they first met: "This is the new bed-warming maid that the old man chose for the young master? I don't know how long it will last?"

When she heard this sentence, Ying'er's pretty face turned white with fear, not everyone wanted to climb the dragon and the phoenix, her petite body trembled slightly, and she couldn't help but secretly said: "It's over, this heinous villain, the young master really looks like What Sister Cui said is going to be unfair to me."

"Hey, little girl, what are you stunned for? Didn't you see the young master, I've finished washing up? Haven't I brought the basin out and waited for me to come?" Liu Mingzhi laughed a little at the dazed little Ying, disturbing the sinking Pensive maid.

Ying'er snapped back to her senses: "Ah...ah...it's fine."

The family in the main hall of the Liu family was eating, especially Liu Mingzhi, who kept stuffing food into his mouth like a starving ghost.

Liu Zhian looked at the appearance of the eldest son with disgust, his face changed and changed, but he finally endured it, and kept telling himself that this was his own seed, and his enemies in his previous life couldn't be killed, and he couldn't be killed. .

"Mingzhi, go to Dangyang Academy tomorrow to study."

Liu Mingzhi's movements stopped, and he stared blankly at his father: "Reading? Why? What books are you reading?"

Liu Zhi'an stared at the confused eldest son, and said viciously: "There is still half a year before the autumn season will start. If you don't give Lao Tzu a title for the state exam, I will definitely put you back. Recreated in the womb."

Liu Mingzhi didn't even notice that the pastry in his hand fell: "Old man, are you really playing?"

Liu Zhi'an glared at the eldest son: "Do you think Lao Tzu is joking? Lao Tzu will do what he says, and then you won't be able to get famous, and you will have to peel off your skin even if you don't die. You can try."

"Gudu." Liu Mingzhi swallowed and spit: "No, doesn't it mean that the children of merchants are not allowed to participate in the imperial examination?"

"After the founding of the state, Taizu attacked the grasslands in the north and harassed the alliances of various ethnic groups in the frontier areas. However, after years of wars, the treasury became increasingly empty, and the food and grass for the army were gradually unavailable. Therefore, Taizu was besieged in the border city of Yingzhou. Later, the prime minister at that time was I wrote a letter to Emperor Taizu, and I can collect food and grass from the surrounding gentry and wealthy merchants."

"What happened later? What does this have to do with the businessmen's children participating in the imperial examinations?"

"Taizu was born in a poor family and cared for the people. He naturally understood the truth that water can carry a boat and capsize it. He couldn't gather the food and grass needed by the army from the rich and merchants of the country for no reason. Taizu ordered that as long as a certain amount of silver taels is donated to the court, his descendants can be allowed to participate in the imperial examinations to gain fame."

"Old man, how much did you donate?"

Liu Zhi'an said nonchalantly, "5 taels."

Liu Mingzhi's eyes turned into coins: "How much is that?"

"So, you also know that it is a lot of money. This time I failed my 5 taels. I... I am afraid that I will go crazy. You should weigh it carefully for me."

"Gudu." Liu Mingzhi asked cautiously: "Old man, what is my name in the exam? We have nothing in our family."

"Of course, the purpose of taking the exam is to become an official."

"Then what's the point of being an official?"

"Of course, being an official is for the purpose of restraining. humming. There is light on the face, honoring the ancestors."

"Really think so?"

"Of course not. Of course, being an official is to serve the court, be good at shepherding the people, create peace in the world for the court, and keep the peace for the saint."

"Then I don't go to study, I eat delicious food, I have money I can't spend, and I can't finish drinking wine. Why should I take the exam to get fame? I won't go to such a thankless thing."

"Nizi, are you really not going?"

Liu Mingzhi nodded resolutely and said resolutely: "If you don't go, don't say anything, I, Liu Mingzhi, as a son of the Liu family, are born with strong bones, and will never yield to power, even if you put a knife on my neck I won't go up, and I won't go if I'm beaten to death."

Liu Zhian stood up and said to Liu Yuan, the housekeeper beside him, "Liu Yuan, please give me a training stick."

"Wait a minute, Uncle Liu leads the horse."
