This is a round bronze mirror with a silver surface, which reflects a handsome face with red lips and white teeth that is still childish.
If you don't see it with your own eyes, it's hard to imagine that a bronze mirror can reflect a person in every detail.
But that's not the point.
The point is, Zhao Hao discovered that the face reflected in the mirror was no longer his original appearance...
Looking closely at the face of the boy who was no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, with his hair tied up high in a bun with a brocade ribbon inlaid with pearls, Zhao Hao finally realized that he had traveled through time.
After a long time, he moved his eyes away from the mirror and looked at the environment he was in. He saw that it was a spacious room in the style of the Ming Dynasty.
There are carved beams and painted buildings above, soft carpets under the body, calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, jade antiques on the antique shelf, and bonsai utensils on the table against the wall. There are also some embroidery and hanging screens dotted in between, making the whole room look rich and stylish.
He has become a young man from the Ming Dynasty living in Nanjing City!
This young man has the same name and surname as him. But compared with his ordinary and slightly rough life in his previous life, this young Zhao Hao who lives in the Ming Dynasty is really lucky.
Little Zhao Hao's grandfather was named Zhao Liben, a native of Xiuning, Huizhou. After passing the imperial examination in the 17th year of Jiajing, he had served as a prefect in Changsha and a provincial governor in Zhejiang. Now he holds the third rank as the right vice minister of the Ministry of Revenue in Nanjing, in charge of the salt export in Lianghuai, which is one of the most lucrative positions in the world!
Although the young man lost his mother at an early age, he was extremely loved by his father and grandfather, and lived a life of luxury and wealth. He had four personal maids, two servants, and several servants, a total of more than ten people, all of whom were dedicated to playing with him and serving him.
"This is just like Jia Baoyu's life, too decadent and corrupt!" Zhao Hao criticized hypocritically, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
.
Speaking of which, Xiao Zhaohao was also overjoyed. For some reason, he was confined to the backyard these days. He was bored and played "blind fish" with the maids in his room. The so-called blind fish is hide-and-seek. When it was Xiao Zhaohao's turn to hide and seek, he accidentally bumped into a pillar and fainted immediately.
When he woke up again, the owner of this body had become Da Zhao Hao who came from four hundred years later.
Although Zhao Hao said he was fine, the maids still carefully helped him to a low chair covered with brocade cushions. They also put soft pillows on it before letting him lie down halfway.
The leading maid took a slender golden spoon, picked up some green ointment from a porcelain bottle, and used her green ring finger to gently apply it on the bruises caused by Zhao Hao.
The slight coolness made the slight pain on his forehead disappear.
Another maid was behind the chair, gently massaging his temples with her soft little hands.
Another maid brought a teacup from the official kiln, put a handkerchief under Zhao Hao's chin with one hand, and fed him water with a spoon with the other hand.
Sweet and delicious...
There was also a maid who carefully peeled the purple grapes, then gently picked out the grape seeds with tweezers, and then put the flesh into Zhao Hao's mouth.
Sweet and sour, really delicious...
For fear of being discovered, Zhao Hao pretended to be accustomed to it and enjoyed this overly considerate service.
When had he ever experienced such a heavenly enjoyment? He felt somewhat ashamed, but more of a secret delight.
How can I not be happy? It's so happy!
"Besides, I'm only fifteen years old. There are so many wonderful days waiting for me! I want to enjoy all the wealth in the world!"
When he thought of this, Zhao Hao stood up excitedly and clenched his fists in excitement.
The maids looked at the young master in surprise, always feeling that there was something strange about him after waking up.
"Master, please ask a doctor to take a look. The problem is not somewhere else in the head..."
"I've already told you, I'm fine!" Zhao Hao played his role, imitating the tone of a 15-year-old boy, and patted his chest as if to prove it, "I can still play hide-and-seek!"
"Really?" The maids were skeptical.
"Don't believe it?" Perhaps influenced by the original owner of this body, Zhao Hao's childishness revived. He covered his face with the scarf again and said excitedly:
"One, two, three, blind fish! I'll start catching them after you say that!"
"Master, you are cheating..."
When the maids saw that he was indeed fine, they hurriedly put down their work and hid here and there with sweet smiles on their faces.
In a trance, Zhao Hao seemed to have returned to his childhood, blindfolded, pounced here and there, but was always just a hair's breadth away and unable to catch his nimble opponents.
“Here, here.”
"Over there!"
The maids deliberately made trouble, and the room was filled with laughter and noise.
After much effort, Zhao Hao finally caught one.
The laughter stopped abruptly, leaving only Zhao Hao's excited shout: "Hahaha, let me catch it!"
But the maid beside him greeted him in a low voice, somewhat uneasy: "Second Master..."
In the Zhao Mansion, the old man Zhao Liben was called the Old Master by the servants. Zhao Liben had two sons, called the First Master and the Second Master. Zhao Hao was the only son of the Second Master!
If I, your cheap father, see this nonsense, he will be punished according to the family rules, right?
Zhao Hao secretly cried out in alarm and quickly pulled off his face mask.
He saw that the person whose sleeve he was grabbing was indeed a middle-aged man who looked similar to him, with a nerdy air.
Of course it was his father in this life, Zhao Shouzheng, the second master of the Zhao family, the student of the Imperial Academy who failed five examinations!
Should I kneel down and admit my mistake, or walk away with an indifferent look on my face?
Zhao Hao hesitated for a moment.
Just when he was in trouble, Zhao Shouzheng took the opportunity to hug him, sighed for a while, and then sobbed sadly.
Men don't shed tears easily, but they do when they are sad.
Seeing that Zhao Shouzheng was actually crying, Zhao Hao no longer cared about the issue of shame and hurriedly put on the professionalism to play the role of a good son.
"Father, don't be angry. I won't act silly anymore."
"It's the fault of a father if he didn't teach his child well. Even if a father is angry, he will only be angry at himself, why would he be angry at you?" But Zhao Shouzheng shook his head and hugged him tighter. "Besides, a father is not angry, but sad..."
Zhao Hao was strangled to the point of being unable to breathe, but he didn't dare to act rashly, so he had to ask with difficulty: "What are you sad about?"
"I am worried that the banquet will end and the young ladies will leave, and the moon will be half-moonlit at the Yangtze River." Zhao Shouzheng chanted a poem in a bleak tone, and then said quietly: "Son, such a happy scene will never happen again."
Zhao Hao was stunned, and the maids were also stunned. They didn't know what was going on.
Finally, Zhao Shouzheng let go of Zhao Hao and turned to the four bewildered maids and said, "All of you go to the yard. My brother has something to say to you."
"Yes..." The maids responded obediently, then filed out and closed the door.
Only Zhao Hao and his son Zhao Shouzheng were left in the room.
Zhao Hao looked at Zhao Shouzheng's distraught face and instinctively felt that something big was about to happen concerning his own destiny.
"What happened?" Zhao Hao asked nervously.
"well……"
"Son, there is a saying that goes 'what's more, the love between father and son is the most important thing in the world'. As long as there is a little room for improvement, your father would not want to affect your mood." Zhao Shouzheng sighed, and then said to him with an apologetic look on his face:
"But I can't hide the truth anymore. I can only tell you the truth. You must hold on..."
p.s.Try it, is it tasty?
