A person came in from outside the house. It was an old man who was about 50 years old. He had a goatee and was wearing gray ancient clothes.
The old man looked at Ji Yan and said respectfully,"Young Master, you're finally awake." I was scared to death.
Ji Yan smiled and said,"Old mister, where am I now?" Who was the person who asked me for money this morning? How much money do we need to pay back?
Ji Zhong was stunned and thought to himself,'Why did Young Master's tone change? In the past? Call me? An old man or an old thing! Now he was calling himself? Old sir."
Xiao Yezi whispered in Ji Zhong's ear," Young Master seems to have lost his memory. He doesn't remember anything! Also, Young Master has become more polite to others. Xiao Yezi likes the current Young Master even more."
When Ji Zhong heard this, he looked at Ji Yan and thought to himself,'It's fine if I lose my memory or don't remember anything. As long as I'm fine, I really like young master calling me? Old Sir!"
Ji Zhong smiled and said,"If the one asking for money was the same clan as the young master, Ji Wulai, the eldest son of the king of Dong Zhou, an ignorant and incompetent scoundrel." The debt that Young Master owes is about 35 strings, but don't worry, Young Master. This old servant will report this to the Emperor, so Young Master doesn't have to worry.
Ji Yan asked,"How much is 35 strings?"”
Ji Zhong was stunned for a moment before he remembered that Ji Yan had lost his memory. He took out a copper coin with a round square hole and said,
A thousand of these copper coins are called Yiguan."
Ji Yan casually asked,"How much food can I buy with money?"
Ji Zhong patiently replied,"Yiguan money can buy 100 catties of high-quality millet."
Ji Yan asked again,"What is millet?"”
Xiao Yezi said,"It's the porridge that Young Master ate just now."
Ji Yan thought. Millet is millet? It's so embarrassing
In his previous life, even the best millet cost 10 yuan per catty. The usual money was 1000 yuan, so 35 strings of millet was 35,000 yuan?？OK
Ji Yan gestured with his fingers. Hmm? Why did his hand change? Soft skin? He touched his face, and his facial features had changed!!
Ji Yan said," Little Yezi, do you have a mirror? Let me see myself!"
The small mirror outside the house quickly took out a mirror and presented it to the young master.
Ji Yan thought to himself,'The props for filming a movie are really awesome. This is a freaking bronze mirror! Bronze mirror "
He looked at his other face in Tong Jing. He was 14 or 15 years old, young and handsome, and everyone loved him...
Ji Yan thought to himself,'In the future, when I flirt with girls, with my status as a noble, this little appearance, kaka...
"Sigh, in that case, I really transmigrated. Calm down! Don't let them find out, or they'll kill me."”
Gulp, gulp, gulp. Ji Yan's stomach felt a little uncomfortable, so he called out to Little Yezi,
"Xiao Yezi, get some toilet paper. I need to go to the toilet."
Xiao Yezi wiped her hands on her body and ran out. When she came back, she was holding a few pieces of wood. She said," Young Master, these are for you. I've washed these wood pieces in water and scalded them. They're very clean. Please enjoy them."
Ji Yan looked at these wooden pieces and said to Xiao Yezi with a trembling voice,"Beauty, is this the toilet paper you brought me?"
Xiao Yezi said,"That's right, Young Master, this is a toilet token."
Ji Yan was driven mad and thought to himself, Damn it, what should I do? He had to use this thing to go to the toilet. Where was the paper?“”
Ji Yan couldn't care less about that, so the girl called Xiao Yezi led the way in front while Ji Yan followed behind her.
After turning left and right for a while, they arrived at an empty space in a courtyard. A few large vats were buried in the ground. There were wooden boards on the vats, and a hole was dug in the middle of the wooden boards. Ji Yan was a little dumbfounded.
Ji Yan thought to himself,"This might be the toilet used in ancient times, but it's too simple. Ji Yan couldn't think of much and quickly walked forward to use the toilet."
Just as Ji Yan was about to squat down, he saw that the girl called Xiao Yezi had no intention of leaving.
Xiao Yezi saw Ji Yan's confusion and quickly explained," Young Master, have you forgotten that I'm the one who serves you every time you go to the toilet? I can't leave."
Ji Yan had been busy. Xiao Yezi shouted, and Goudan came out to serve Young Master.
He then said to Ji Yan,
"Please wait a moment, Young Master."
A servant came out.
Ji Yan was a little confused and said to him,"What are you doing?"
The attendant skillfully took out a piece of wood and lowered his body. Ji Yan felt his hair stand on end. He had never seen such a scene before. He hurriedly waved his hand and said,"No, let me do it."
Xiao Yezi stepped forward and said to Ji Yan,"Young Master, we have to serve you. Otherwise, we will be punished."
Ji Yan was also curious. He thought to himself,"Then you guys serve me. I'll see what kind of treatment I get." This time, it would not happen again.
The attendant took out a wooden piece, stuck it on water, and squatted down to clean up Ji Yan's poop.
Ji Yan thought to himself,"This ancient person really knows how to enjoy life." Next time, I'll do it myself!
Finally, Ji Yan returned to his own bedroom. Xiao Yezi helped Ji Yan to the bed and then retreated to the side of the bed, waiting for Ji Yan's instructions at any time.
Ji Yan thought to himself,'In the future, I'll be watched by the servants and maids when I eat, drink, and poop.”
Xiao Yezi said lightly," The Great Zhou royal family is tight on money. Young Master must not have eaten well. I'm spinning at night and selling it on the street to change the pattern for Young Master."
Ji Yan smiled and said," Little Yezi, remember this. In less than half a year, I'll let Little Yezi eat meat for every meal."
This was Ji Yan's first night in this world. Xiao Yezi and another maid made the bed. Ji Yan lay on the bed for a long time, unable to fall asleep because he had just learned that he was going to meet the emperor the next day.
Ji Yan fell asleep in his anxiety.
In the dream, Ji Yan's previous life, his current body, and the memories of this life overlapped with each other. Slowly, the memories became clearer in Ji Yan's mind.
In the middle of her daze, she heard a girl calling her softly. Young master, it was time to get up. She would be meeting the emperor in a while.
Ji Yan opened his eyes reluctantly and saw three maids standing in a row in the room. They were helping Ji Yan to dress, wash up, and put on his shoes. They also served him food and let him enjoy his breakfast.
Breakfast was very simple. There was a bowl of millet porridge, two round pancakes, a bowl of pickled soybeans, and a bowl of chicken soup.
The other two maids went forward to tidy Ji Yan's clothes again. Xiao Yezi picked up another large copper mirror for Ji Yan to look at.
Ji Yan faced the bronze mirror and saw himself in the mirror. He was dressed in luxurious clothes and looked handsome.
Ji Yan brought his maids and attendants to the Emperor's Hall.
As far as the eye could see, there was an empty space between them. Although the grand hall could not be compared to the later imperial palace in Beijing, it was still much larger than an ordinary house.
There were few people in the huge courtyard. It did not look like the atmosphere of a royal family at all.
Just as they were about to reach the entrance of the hall.
The attendant at the door said softly, asking the young master to wait for a moment. The attendant quickly walked into the hall,
After a while, the attendant returned and made a gesture of invitation. He said softly," Young Master, please."
Ji Yan followed the servant into the hall. In the middle of the spacious hall, there was a long and low table, and a middle-aged man was kneeling in the middle.
On the side, he saw two middle-aged men arguing in a low voice. He didn't know what they were arguing about.
Ji Yan walked forward and heard the two middle-aged men whispering to each other,"It's your turn this year, and it'll be mine next year." Another person said, saying that this year, next year, we are all the emperor's subjects and should serve the emperor well.
At this moment, Ji Yan heard the person sitting in front of him say in a clear voice,"It's Yan 'er. Come forward quickly."
Let grandpa take a good look at Yan-er, is he alright?
Ji Yan hurried forward. From the memories of Ji Yan's body, he knew that this middle-aged man was Ji Yan's grandfather, the current emperor of the Zhou Dynasty.
The dignified middle-aged man held Ji Yan's hand and looked him up and down for a long time. Then, he smiled and said,"Grandson, I'm fine." Grandpa felt much more relieved.
The emperor told his attendant beside him,"Tell the chief justice that we must investigate this event. Why did my eldest grandson fall into the moat for no reason? We must investigate this event clearly and report to me." The attendant bowed his head and said yes.
Ji Yan stood next to the emperor and felt that this middle-aged man was very friendly to him. After all, they were grandfather and grandson. Before they could say anything, another servant beside him whispered to the emperor,"Your Majesty, it's time to eat."
The emperor was very happy when he heard this. He said to the attendant,"My grandson is here today. Bring more food. We want to eat together."
The attendant quickly knelt down and said," Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your Majesty, please forgive me. It's because there's not much food stored in the palace recently. Today, I only prepared your meal and did not prepare it for the Little Lord."
As he spoke. The emperor's meal was placed on the emperor's table. Ji Yan lowered his head and looked at it. There was only one word in his heart. It was too shabby. This was also the emperor's meal. He thought of the empress dowager in the future. There were 108 dishes for each meal. There were two bowls of porridge, two pancakes, a bowl of sauce, and a bowl of unknown boiled vegetables on his table.
Tian Zi frowned slightly and said to Ji Yan,"Yan 'er is here. There are only two bowls of porridge. Give Yan' er one bowl." Come, come, let's eat together. Ji Yan caught a detail of Tian Zi's conversation.
As Tian Zi spoke, Ji Yan noticed that Tian Zi's gestures were a little reluctant. Seeing this, Ji Yan quickly said," Grandpa, I've already eaten in the morning. Please take your time to eat. I'll just stay by the side and talk to Grandpa."
Ji Yan pursed his lips. He thought to himself,'Does this dignified emperor need to worry about a bowl of porridge?' What dynasty was this?
When others transmigrated, they were either nobles, sons of the emperor, or rich people. I transmigrated here. Although it's the royal family, the situation looks too poor.
Ji Yan said awkwardly that this was the family of the emperor. They were already so poor, so what was there to put on airs? Ji Yan couldn't stand it anymore, so he turned his head to look at the two middle-aged men in the hall. After listening for a while, he finally understood.
This year, the palace needed some simple repairs, but the money had been used up. At this time, the emperor found two officials to discuss how to raise money.
These two officials didn't want to give more, nor did they want to bear more. They both thought of each other and paid more.
After all, in front of Tian Zi, the two of them didn't dare to be loud and only dared to argue softly. Tian Zi ate very quickly. There were two bowls of porridge, two pancakes, and a bowl of vegetables. After eating, the servant handed over a bowl of water. The emperor rinsed his mouth and spat it out. The servant beside him quickly caught it with a copper basin. After the attendant took it away, Tian Zi coughed lightly.
He said to Ji Yan,"Yan 'er, you rarely see these two. These are the Duke of East Zhou and the Duke of West Zhou of our Great Zhou. Go over and meet them." When Ji Yan heard this, he could confirm that the era he was in was the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and it was in the middle and late stages of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
Ji Yan came back to his senses and collected his thoughts. He said in a clear voice,"Two uncles, I've often heard grandfather say that the two of you are the loyal ministers and pillars of our emperor."
The two middle-aged men hurriedly stood up and returned the greeting. These two men had seen Ji Yan before and only remembered that Ji Yan was arrogant, rude, and condescending in the past. All kinds of prodigal behavior were countless. Although he was not young, he always put on the appearance of a son of the emperor in front of them.
Today, he actually bowed to the two of them in a normal manner. This made the two of them feel a trace of gratitude in their hearts. When they heard Ji Yan mention that Tian Zi often talked about their good deeds, the two of them exchanged glances with each other and thought to themselves,'Forget it. I'll be tighter. At least I won't make things too difficult for Tian Zi.' Who asked us to be subjects?
The two of them walked closer to each other. After considering each other, the two of them quickly bowed to the emperor and said,"Your Majesty, the two of us have already discussed it. We will try our best to get the cost of repairing the great hall this year for Your Majesty. We can't make things difficult for Your Majesty."
The current emperor was very happy. Just as he was about to say something, he saw a servant beside him step forward and whisper in the emperor's ear. After a few words, Ji Yan saw Tian Zi frown again. The emperor pondered and looked at the two Duke of Zhou. The two beloved ministers, the attendants reported to me.
The imperial family did not have much food left. Could the two Duke of Zhou provide more food?
Originally, the two of them were prepared to return home. When they heard the emperor's words, they saw the two Duke of Zhou look at each other and grin. At the same time, they returned the emperor's greeting, hoping that the emperor would think of another way.
The emperor asked the attendant next to him if he could borrow some food from the local rich merchants and farmers.
The attendant cried and laughed, saying," Your Majesty, have you forgotten? We haven't returned the grain we borrowed last year. These rich people haven't taken the initiative to ask for it for the sake of the emperor."
If we go to see them again, they might not lend it to us.
When the emperor heard this, he frowned and pondered for a moment. Then he said to the two Duke of Zhou," How about this, Duke of Zhou, don't decline. This time, I won't make it difficult for you. This time, just take it as an advance payment for next year's grain."
The emperor also said to the attendants, in the future, reduce my food for every meal, and the attendants of the royal family should be reduced as appropriate.
Ji Yan, who was beside him, thought to himself, What's going on? A dignified emperor actually has to worry about eating and even have his food cut in half.
Thinking of the Empress Dowager Cixi who ate 108 dishes every meal, it was infuriating to compare people.
The emperor said a few more words to Ji Yan, saying,"Yan 'er, go back and recuperate in peace. Don't worry about food and clothing. Grandpa has his own way. Grandpa still has to discuss some state affairs with the two Duke of Zhou. Yan' er can leave." Ji Yan hurriedly bowed and slowly retreated to the door before turning around and leaving.
This action was successfully captured by Tian Zi and the two Duke of Zhou. The three of them were a little surprised. They felt that Ji Yan seemed to have changed into a different person. They all knew that Ji Yan used to be carefree wherever he went and didn't have any plastic surgery at all.
Later on, Tian Zi thought that perhaps Ji Yan's teacher had taught him well, so he didn't think too much about it and continued to talk about other things.
After Ji Yan left the main hall, he heaved a long sigh of relief. He thought to himself,'I'm still nervous about meeting the emperor.' Ji Yan composed himself and walked to his bedroom with the boy and Xiao Yezi.
Ji Yan thought that since he had come to this world, he should take things as they came and work hard to survive. At the very least, he should be a rich man.
Ji Yan had just walked for nine days when a servant quickly ran out of the emperor's hall. It was the servant who had reported to the emperor that he would only cook for the emperor today. The servant came to Ji Yan and knelt down with a thud. He cried and said to Ji Yan, Your Highness. No, no, it's not that I didn't prepare a method for you. It's true that there's not much food in the kitchen.
Please forgive me. "Old servant, I'll kowtow to you." Ji Yan hurriedly waved his hand and said,"What's going on? What are you talking about? Get up quickly and let's talk slowly."
What Ji Yan didn't know was how domineering his current body used to be.
Ji Yan consoled the servant for a while and then left. Ji Yan thought to himself,'My era has begun.'
