Chapter 6 Did you peek at me sleeping?

Xia Yuan walked to the courtyard holding the quilt. Under the clear moonlight, the courtyard looked quite bright.

The courtyard of my house occupies a large area. Together with the kitchen and toilets, there are a total of nine houses. It is considered a high-class house in the village.

It's just that the houses everywhere look a little dilapidated. After all, this courtyard has been passed down for many generations, and it has a history of nearly a hundred years.

Xia Yuan looked for a place to sleep based on the route in his memory. He didn't worry about having no place to sleep. The bedroom that was regarded as the wedding room used to be his parents' bedroom, but of course, it is now his.

After the death of his parents, Xia Yuan was automatically promoted to the head of the family. According to the rules, after observing mourning for one year, he had to move into the largest master bedroom.

Xia Yuan walked to his former bedroom, opened the door, and counted the time. No one had lived in it for the past two months. Although it was not dirty, it exuded a faint musty smell.

I guess it's because the weather is hot in summer and the house has no windows for ventilation.

At this moment, Xia Yuan had to complain about his predecessor. He was really a nerd and didn't even understand the simple truth of opening a window for ventilation.

Guang knew how to study and study to death, so that when he traveled through time, the memories he received, apart from some knowledge of this era, were only filled with the Four Books and Five Classics, and the words of saints.

Opening the door wide, Xia Yuan stood outside and waited for a long time, until the musty smell in the room dissipated a little, and then stepped in.

There was still a bit of musty smell in the room, so Xia Yuan had no choice but to leave the door open, find a book in the room, and sweep the bed board a few times to clean up the dust.

He pushed the bedding up and lay down on it.

As a modern person, I can't sleep at this time, but in ancient rural areas, there were no entertainment activities at night. If you insist on it, it is just making children.

He was lucky enough to be able to participate in this entertainment activity, but who would have thought that the promised wife would turn out to be a bean sprout.

He was said to be fifteen years old, but he was too young, looking like he was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and his body was too delicate, so he couldn't bear to do anything.

If you want to change it but can't, what should you do? You can only plant it in the soil and cultivate it first, and wait until the small bean sprouts grow into large bean sprouts in two years.

Xia Yuan was thinking wildly in his head, thinking about it, and then began to think about the way out in the future.

He subconsciously ignored the aspect of obtaining a meritorious service and becoming an official.

Now he just wants to do business. After all, if you have money, you will be a boss. However, this iron law does not seem to be feasible in the Ming Dynasty.

As we all know, the Ming Dynasty was very hierarchical.

The household registration system can generally be divided into military, civilian, craftsman and stove.

As for merchants, to be honest, there was no such thing as merchant registration in the Ming Dynasty, and the so-called merchant registration was limited to salt merchants. This was only opened in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.

As for other businessmen, I'm sorry, just use someone else's household registration.

Therefore, in the Ming Dynasty, the status of businessmen was extremely low. Everyone knew that money was a good thing.

But in the Ming Dynasty, businessmen with a lot of wealth were suppressed at the bottom of the entire social framework. This is really a strange phenomenon.

The main reason for all this is naturally Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang hated businessmen, and he even felt that all businessmen should be arrested, even if they were not guilty.

In those days, no matter how rich a businessman was, he had to keep his tail between his legs, and even wearing silk clothes was considered a crime.

During the Hongzhi period, the status of businessmen has improved a lot. They can take part in the imperial examinations and spend money on people with arrogance.

However, the household registration system of the Ming Dynasty is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it has never collapsed. It still implements the policy of the early Ming Dynasty when dragons beget dragons, phoenixes beget phoenixes, and the mice's sons continue to dig holes.

In the eyes of the people, a businessman is rich, but his social status is not high-end.

This is probably a kind of self-psychological comfort for poor people.

Xia Yuan thought about it for a moment. If he went to do business, he would definitely be regarded as the beginning of his depravity by the tribesmen and villagers, and then he would be severely beaten by the tribe leader and a group of relatives.

Fight until you give up the idea of ​​doing business.

However, Xia Yuan still planned to go into business. After all, other people who traveled through time either ascended the throne and proclaimed themselves emperors, or cracked the earth and became marquises, or even became generals and ministers. How could he be a farmer and work hard in the fields after traveling through time?

This is too embarrassing.

I just don’t know if I can withstand the beatings from my tribe if I go to do business.

Moreover, I only had less than ten taels of silver, so I didn't know what to do.

Lying on the bed with his arms as pillow, Xia Yuan thought hard for a long time, not knowing how to take the first step in his plan to make a fortune.

"This is just the first day of time travel. Take your time and don't rush."

After soothing himself, Xia Yuan closed his eyes and began to force himself to fall asleep. He planned to go to the city tomorrow to look for business opportunities.

He didn't know when he fell asleep or how long he slept. After the rooster crows, he heard footsteps after an unknown amount of time.

There was a slight sound of footsteps, and there was a soft breath on his face. Xia Yuan opened his eyes in a daze, and then saw Zhao Yuerong leaning against the bed and looking at him.

Seeing Xia Yuan suddenly open her eyes, the little Loli was obviously startled. She took a few steps back and opened and closed her lips several times. She wanted to say something but couldn't.

It wasn't until she saw the washbasin on the floor that she seemed to have found a savior. She quickly explained with a slightly red cheek: "Husband, husband, there is wash water here. I, I am here to wash your face."

Xia Yuan, who had just woken up, was still a little confused and couldn't hear clearly what she was saying. He sat up from the bed and rubbed his eyes with his hands. He felt like he hadn't slept enough, so he blurted out: "What time is it?"

"

"."

Seeing that the little Loli didn't respond, but showed a confused expression, he realized that he had said the wrong thing and changed his words: "What time is it now?"

Hearing this, Zhao Yuerong looked outside and replied: "It should be Zhengmao."

Zhengmao?

This ancient method of timing was still a bit awkward for Xia Yuan. He did some calculations in his mind and concluded that the first day of the morning was around six o'clock in the morning.

No wonder I feel like I didn't get enough sleep.

In my previous life, I had to get up at this time back when I was a student.

Xia Yuan hesitated for a moment, then gave up his plan to sleep for a while longer.

He stretched and was about to get out of bed when a pair of small hands held his arms. He looked sideways and met the little Loli's gaze. Zhao Yuerong's face turned red and he said, "I'll help you wash up."

Xia Yuan's lips moved slightly, but he did not choose to refuse.

Just do as the Romans do, and since my personality is that of a sick man, it makes sense to be helped out of bed when I get out of bed.

But why does this girl always look blushing and shy?

He soon had an answer to this question.

Because Xia Yuan saw the reflection of his own face in the wash water. Although it was a little blurry, he could still vaguely see it clearly. His features were delicate and beautiful, and he could be called a jade tree in the wind. His demeanor was graceful, and he also had a bookish air.

If he had such an appearance in his previous life, he would have been able to apply for a job with a male publicist with a monthly salary of 100,000 yuan, so why couldn't he find a suitable partner?

At this moment, Xia Yuan couldn't help but sigh, this is the gap between people.

so.

Thinking of this, he turned around and asked, "Did you just peek at me sleeping?"
