Chapter 1: Traveling Through Time
Xia Yanjing dragged his tired body and lay on the sofa like a salted fish, his thoughts wandering endlessly.
"I really don't want to do this crappy job for even a day. I wish I could be supported by a handsome guy."
Xia Yanjing couldn't help but fantasize, but he knew that all this only existed in fantasy.
As a boy with a male orientation, Xia Yanjing finds it extremely difficult to meet someone he truly loves in such a fast-paced and low-acceptance society.
Although Xia Yanjing looks thin, he is indeed a real old man with a little bit of emotional cleanliness. He only likes men with strong aura and strong body.
This also led to Xia Yanjing meeting men who were interested in her having the same type as her, so she had never been in a relationship so far.
With heavy workload every day and being single for twenty-seven years, Xia Yanjing's resentment almost reached its peak.
"God, please be a human being and have mercy on me."
Xia Yanjing shouted to the sky, and the next second, lightning and thunder flashed, a dazzling white light flashed, and Xia Yanjing fell into darkness.
Xia Yanjing rubbed his aching head, and scenes flashed through his mind, strange and familiar.
Because the people in the pictures have the same appearance and the same name as himself, but they live different lives, these pictures soon end like a kaleidoscope.
When Xia Yanjing opened his eyes, he saw a strange yet familiar house, and two words subconsciously emerged in his mind: time travel.
Xia Yanjing pinched his arm, the pain was very clear. He knew that he had really traveled through time, and to him this was a very unreal world.
The Wei Dynasty that Xia Yanjing traveled to has never been recorded in the long river of history. What's even more amazing is that there are only men in this world, no women.
This world is divided into men and boys. The difference is that boys have a lotus mark on their earlobe. The brighter the color, the stronger their fertility. Men are just like ordinary men.
Xia Yanjing learned from his memory that his original body was a man, which made Xia Yanjing breathe a sigh of relief. If it was a boy, Xia Yanjing might really have to live out his life alone.
It’s just that the guys in this world all consider weakness as beauty, and it’s almost impossible to meet the type he likes, so it can be said to be a mixed blessing.
Xia Yanjing sorted out the main information of his original body. His original body was the illegitimate son of Xia Zhiyong, Marquis of Yongning. He had been disliked by Xia Zhiyong since he was born. After all, the one who gave birth to him was just a little servant beside his master Fang Yu.
Xia Yanjing's father Hong Xi was Fang Yu's dowry boy. At that time, Fang Yu was pregnant. In order to consolidate her favor, she arranged for Hong Xi to serve Marquis Yongning.
After Xia Yanjing was born, Hong Xi was still a servant serving Fang Yu, but her food, clothing, housing and transportation were better.
Hong Xi did not dare to complain at all. After all, in this cannibalistic society, life was already difficult for him, not to mention that he was just a lowly slave.
Although Xia Yanjing was angry at her for not fighting for it, wasn't Hong Xi's weak character exactly what Fang Yu wanted? If it was someone more ambitious, perhaps he wouldn't have been born.
Xia Yanjing sighed deeply. He was not much better off than his biological father. Although he was the young master of the Marquis's Mansion, his life was quite difficult. After all, the people in the mansion treated people differently based on their status.
Fortunately, there is a separate courtyard. Although it is very small and far away from the main courtyard, it is a place of my own.
In terms of food, clothing and other expenses, they are only slightly better than the servants in the Marquis' Mansion. However, in the Marquis' Mansion, the food, clothing and other expenses of ordinary servants are much better than those of ordinary people.
Xia Zhiyong did not forget him in terms of studying. Although he was not as good as the famous teachers and scholars hired by the legitimate sons, he was also a very prestigious scholar.
It's not that Xia Zhiyong has a change of heart, but he is afraid that this illegitimate son will bring shame to the Marquis' Mansion in the future, otherwise Xia Yanjing will not even have the opportunity to study.
Knock knock knock, there was a knock on the door, followed by a young man's voice.
"Master, are you awake yet? Today is the fifteenth day of the lunar year, and we can't be late."
When Xia Yanjing heard the voice, he knew it was Shi Tou, the personal body of his original body. The two grew up together and had a close relationship.
"Get up, come in."
Just as Xia Yanjing finished speaking, a handsome young man came in with a basin of water, and then went out with a tray containing breakfast.
"Master, we have to hurry up. I'll help you wash up."
After Shitou finished speaking, he picked up the clothes beside him and started to serve. Although Xia Yanjing was a little uncomfortable, he couldn't show it.
In this ancient time of cannibalism, it was necessary to adapt to local customs, otherwise he would be caught and burned to death if it was discovered that it was not original.
Oh, I have to say that it feels good to be served by others. Xia Yanjing told himself in his heart that he just wanted to avoid being discovered to be abnormal and would never admit that he wanted to be an evil capitalist.
For a family as prestigious as the Marquis's, they would usually arrange for a servant and a boy to serve. However, Xia Yanjing was not favored, and when he was young, he was only assigned a boy of the same age as him to serve him. The two of them grew up together.
Shitou and the original owner had a close relationship, but the original owner was not well-liked, which made things difficult for Shitou.
Although he didn't know the reason, he took the original owner's place. In the future, he will do his best to take care of the original owner's biological father and Shitou.
Soon, Xia Yanjing ate breakfast as quickly as possible, and came to the main courtyard according to the original owner's memory. He breathed a sigh of relief, stood obediently in his seat, and waited for Fang Yu's arrival.
In the Wei Dynasty, before the men of aristocratic families got married, they had to pay their respects to their lord on the first and fifteenth day of every month. After they got married, their lord would pay his respects to their lord.
Although it was a routine greeting, he was the only illegitimate son in such a huge marquisate, and now he was the only one standing silently in the middle of the hall.
Fang Yu had two sons and one brother. Although Marquis Yongning had many concubines, none of them gave birth to children. It goes without saying that Fang Yu was responsible.
After waiting for a cup of tea, Fang Yu came to the front hall accompanied by the servants. After Fang Yu sat down, Xia Yanjing bowed as he remembered.
What followed was a boring sermon, which finally ended when Fang Yu's eldest son finally arrived. Fang Yu changed his serious expression and immediately put on a smile.
"My dear brother Huan, why don't you sleep a little longer?"
This kind of scene has been played out countless times, and everyone has become accustomed to it. Soon, the servant beside Fang Yu asked him to leave so as not to interfere with his conversation with his son.
Xia Yanjing never saw his biological father from beginning to end, and it was obvious that this was Fang Yu's intention.
Xia Yanjing walked out of the door and breathed a sigh of relief. Shi Tou, who was waiting at the door, immediately came to greet him. The two returned to their own courtyard, and Shi Tou immediately came up to them in a mysterious manner.
"Master, I just overheard the other servants chatting at the door. I heard that the general who defends the country has returned to the capital and will be in the capital in a few days."
Shi Tou shared the news he had received with excitement, and Xia Yanjing was somewhat moved after hearing it.
From memory, I know that five years ago, the barbarians attacked and the mighty and brave General Sheng was ordered to go to the battlefield, but he died in the end.
His eldest son Sheng Yuan took over the command and fought desperately against the barbarians, but was eventually betrayed by his subordinates and had his legs broken.
