Chapter 55 Chao Chao is from the future
With a bang.
Emperor Jingxuan, who had already had the dragon throne moved to the corridor outside the imperial study and was concentrating on looking at the sky with bated breath, suddenly stood up again. He was so shocked that he even accidentally knocked over the teacup next to him.
The corridor outside the imperial study was silent.
Everyone was so shocked by Jian Yunsang's words that they forgot to speak. Even the sound of Emperor Jingxuan knocking over the teacup failed to bring them back to their senses.
Ancient times?
the ancients?
They all wondered if they were hallucinating, until Emperor Jingxuan murmured, "Cao Qing, Cao Qing!!"
Cao Qing didn't react until he called her the second time. He knelt down and begged for forgiveness. "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I will die a thousand times."
"Repeat to me what Miss Jian said just now, quickly."
Cao Qing quickly said, "Ancient times refer to the times hundreds or even thousands of years ago. In ancient times, scholars could take the examination for the title of scholar and serve as officials in the court. Now there is no such title as scholar. The last scholar was a person more than a hundred years ago."
He stammered and expressed what he understood.
Emperor Jingxuan slowly sat back in his chair, and curled his fingers stiffly twice. "So, to them, we are ancient people from hundreds or even thousands of years ago?"
The Grand Tutor swallowed and spoke with difficulty, "The people on the sky are not immortals from the fairyland, nor are they from a foreign country far away from us. Rather, they are our descendants?"
Everyone present was stunned. The descendants turned out to be their descendants hundreds of years later.
"Cao Qing, immediately summon all the ministers to the palace to discuss state affairs." After Emperor Jingxuan recovered, his eyes became cold and he gave the order in a deep voice.
"yes."
Cao Qing left in a hurry, and the area outside the imperial study fell into silence again.
No one spoke, but their expressions were unpredictable and their eyes were fixed on the sky, not daring to miss any movement.
After listening to Jian Yunsang's explanation, Chao Chao was confused for a while. Mom said there are no scholars now, so why is there Guo Xiucai in Shangliu Village?
Mr. Guo from hundreds of years ago?
Chao Chao felt his head was a little dizzy. Hundreds of years... should be a very long time.
After Jian Yunsang finished explaining, she did not notice Chao Chao's confused expression. She thought for a moment and said to Yuan Yuan, "Yuan Yuan, can you pour us a few glasses of water?"
Yuanyuan was puzzled. Wasn't there something on the coffee table? And there was also Zhao Ma.
He thought so, but he still walked away scratching his head.
After he left, Jian Yunsang asked hopefully, "Chao Chao, tell me, in which dynasty was Shangliu Village built?"
What dynasty?
Chao Chao shook his head, "I don't know."
She really didn't know. She didn't even know that the county to which Shangliu Village belonged was called Huaiping County.
Topics like dynasties only come up among people like the village chief and Mr. Guo.
Who would tell her this? She has no friends and no time to chat.
At most, I would work while listening to other people gossiping about the next village, or listening to the small talk of the three members of the Hu family.
Occasionally, Sister Lin Lan would talk to her about daily news, but as for the Daqichao in Huaiping County, Chao Chao had never heard of it.
Jian Yunsang was not surprised. She looked at He Nanzhou.
The latter suppressed his inner suspicion, hugged Chao Chao and said with a smile, "Then Chao Chao can tell daddy about Mr. Guo, okay?"
"But I don't know much. Most of it was told to me by Sister Lin Lan."
"It's okay, let's just chat."
"Okay." Chao Chao recalled carefully, and then began to talk, "I don't know what Mr. Guo's name is. He is over 30 years old this year. He just passed the exam two years ago. Sister Lin Lan said that he passed the exam three times and is already the most outstanding scholar in our village. He usually studies in the county town and only comes back on holidays. I have only seen him twice. He looks very nice and generous. Everyone is very respectful to him. Every time he comes back, the families in the village who have children going to private schools will bring a few eggs, or weigh half a pound of meat, and take a few copper coins to Mr. Guo's home, asking him to guide the children to study."
Chao Chao spoke more and more fluently, "Sister Lin Lan said that Scholar Guo has a very good reputation in the village and is very willing to instruct students. She also said that if Shangliu Village had a few more scholars, it would be a matter of pride. The village chief likes to discuss things with him. If there is anything he can't make up his mind about, he will wait until Scholar Guo comes back on his day off. Also, Scholar Guo cherishes his books very much. Brother Liangping once saw him get very angry and shed a few tears because someone accidentally damaged one of his books."
Mr. Guo under the sky, "..." Liangping ruined his reputation. Now, everyone in the world knows that he shed tears because of a book.
Also, could you please not talk about him anymore?
Unfortunately, Chao Chao was still thinking, "Mr. Guo's wife doesn't like the aunts in the village. She usually lives with Mr. Guo in the county town and rarely comes back on holidays. They also have a son who seems to be studying, but I haven't seen him. Mr. Guo also has an older brother and a younger brother. I heard that they all went to private schools, but in the end, only Mr. Guo continued to study."
Chao Chao has almost finished talking.
He Nanzhou, Jian Yunsang, and even Song Zhen, who had been listening to the story from beginning to end with trepidation, felt chilled to the bone at this moment.
They had always believed that Chao Chao was abducted and sold to a remote and secluded mountain. That was why they could not find Shangliu Village, and why they still called their parents "father and mother". That was why the feudal remnants such as child brides still existed, and why they valued boys more than girls, and why they did not allow girls to go to school.
But what did they hear now? !
Scholar, day off, private school, copper coins...
This Shangliu Village is not in modern times at all! It is clearly in ancient times of an unknown dynasty! !
Jian Yunsang's breathing became rapid. She found it unbelievable. How could such an outrageous and crazy thing happen to Chao Chao?
Time travel, Chao Chao actually traveled to an ancient time. This is too, too sensational. This is not a novel!
Song Zhen felt like she was going to faint. She felt really helpless at the moment and couldn't help but look up at her son and daughter-in-law.
Jian Yunsang murmured, "No wonder, no wonder when I first met Chao Chao, the clothes she was wearing were completely different from ours."
When Jian Yunsang changed her clothes before, she thought the clothes were strange.
But the clothes were all patched up and very thin, and were obviously leftovers from other people's clothes and thrown to her casually, which made her look quite normal. After washing the clothes, Jian Yunsang didn't throw them away, but put them away first.
But she would never associate such clothes with time travel to ancient times.
