The first volume Introduction to the Emergence of Red Wind

On the Legend of the Founding of Caiyun Country.

a long time ago, at that time, it was in the era when demons were running amok.

In this seemingly endless chaos, a young man embarked on a journey.

Young people have been fighting demons all the way, sincerely praying for people to live and work in peace and contentment, and have been on a long and endless journey.

Finally, his sincerity touched eight immortals.

Blue Fairy, Red Fairy, Bi Fairy, Huang Xian, White Fairy, Black Fairy, tea fairy and Purple Fairy-eight immortals named after color

have helped the youth by exerting their divine power.

The young man's name is Cang Xuan, and it is precisely because of the Eight Immortals' magical powers that he built the foundation of a country and created a new monarch for the colorful cloud country.

after Cang Xuan died, the Eight Immortals also disappeared. However, it is said that the elegant palace he built for the Eight Immortals, named Xiandong Palace, the residence of the immortals, still stands in a corner of the city. Legend of the Founding of Caiyun Country-Unknown Author

Deep in the palace, a group of court officials are having a secret talk.

"... is really a big problem."

"exactly, the situation is serious."

"Your Majesty has been on the throne for half a year."

"Is there nothing we can do? ..... "

" I thought we would cross the bridge when we came to it ... "

" We old people really can't keep up with the popularity of young people. "

"nonsense! That's nothing popular! ？”

an old courtier, still full of blood, roared angrily. When he was young, he was a famous soldier who was active in the front line of the battlefield. Until today, when he is over 6 years old, he still does not change his impetuous personality.

"But if we go on like this-"

"Yes, if we go on like this, there will be no traitors and traitors."

"More than that, people who peep at the throne are eager to move."

"The most important thing at present is-"

One of the senior ministers' tone is obviously calmer than that of other ministers, but he also muttered with a sad face:

"... we must find a way to put an end to the rumors that have caused a storm in the city."

the scene immediately quieted down. Indeed, that is the first problem at present.

"No, that's right!"

the other one coughed several times while wiping his sweat.

"instead of worrying about the unexpected courtiers, I think the first thing is to appease the people's emotions."

"Coco, but ... we've tried everything!"

"What should I do?"

There was a lot of discussion in the whole secret talk, and the best plan was never put forward. Someone who has been silent suddenly spoke.

"-the old lady has a plan."

Because this man is the most important courtier in China, all around him suddenly fell silent, and everyone stared at him with expectant eyes.

"-as the saying goes."

The old minister with a pale moustache opened his mouth meaningfully. "As the saying goes, a wife is the bane of a husband."

The first volume of red wind appears in the first chapter. There is no such thing as a free lunch.

It is well known that melodious erhu music will come from this Taoist temple at this moment.

The timbre is really beautiful, so there are always many guests in restaurants and tea kiosks near the conduit who have come to listen at this time. The music of erhu is well received by everyone, but the girl who plays erhu is much more loved than erhu-only I don't know.

Today, the class ended at the children's entreaties. Kou Syuurei, a young girl, went on to play the erhu, but today, instead of music, she played the children's favorite legend of the founding of Caiyun.

With the aftertaste of the music, Beauty ends the story as usual.

"... so, the eight colored immortals just disappeared without a trace. It is said that they have been integrated into people's lives, and maybe they are living in our neighbors now!"

When Beauty smiled, "All right! Finished! " The children who had a serious face around her let out a sigh of relief.

"beautiful teacher!"

"huh?"

"Is there really a fairy cave palace in Wangcheng?"

Beauty put the erhu aside and smiled: "Yes." And stroking the boy's head.

"Although it has been renamed as Xiandong Province, Jinglan said that it is indeed located somewhere in the city."

"Has the beautiful teacher seen it? "

A cute little girl with a bun on her head is shining on her beautiful knees.

Hearing this question, the repairman sighed gravely.

"It's a pity that I haven't seen it. I've always hoped to see it at least once. Unfortunately, I'm in Wangcheng. If I take the national examination, I can enter Wangcheng, but only boys can take part."

"Then when I grow up, I will take the national examination and become a great official. Then I will marry the beautiful teacher and bring her to town."

Seeing the energetic teenager proudly stand up, Beauty couldn't help laughing:

"Really? That would be great. -But Liu Jin, since you have set your mind on it, you should study harder. You forgot to write your homework yesterday, right? "

"That's, that's because ..."

The teenager was at a loss, while the girl with the Baotou was holding the beauty, sticking out her tongue and grimacing.

"humph! Stop daydreaming, you never do your homework. "

"If Liu Jin wants to be an official, he might as well learn from Jinglan to take the national martial arts exam and become a military attache faster."

"ah-yes, yes! Because he is good at fighting! Anyway, only this is powerful. "

"But he is afraid of his mother and beautiful teacher. Isn't it useless?"

"You, you ..."

The boy blushed and raised his fist when there was a knock at the Taoist temple.

"I'm sorry to disturb you, miss."

At the sight of the tall figure entering the door, Beauty exclaimed:

"-Jinglan! How did you come here? "

"ah! It's Jinglan! "

"Jinglan! Come and play the war game-!"

Jinglan, a young man surrounded by children in a blink of an eye, smiled bitterly.

"er ... sorry, I have something to do today, can I take a rain check?"

"What-"cried the boy in disappointment. Jinglan tapped the boy on the forehead and then stepped on xiang xiuli.

"Miss, could you please go back to the office as soon as possible? You have a distinguished visitor. "

"What-"It's the turn of all the children to shout in disappointment.

Beauty also secretly complained about this unexpected guest. How unfortunate! I have a very important "job" to do today! Which unappreciative person picked this time uninvited! ? Want to go back, beautiful still stood up quickly, stroking the heads of the children who were reluctant to pull their skirts one by one.

"Sorry, let's call it a day. Don't forget what you taught today, and Liu Jin should also remember to do his homework. "

With a wink, Xiuli and Jinglan went on the road together, and on the way, Xiuli tilted her head in wonder.

"-I said Jinglan, why are you here at this time? Remember that you are going to court today, aren't you? "

"Yes ... Miss Li is right. It's just that the visitors who come to the government at present ask me to go with them ..."

"The other party wants you to go back to the government for personal reasons? -The identity of this visitor is not ordinary? "

"Er, um ..."

The other party's vague tone made Beauty more suspicious.

Jinglan is gentle and elegant in appearance, but actually she is quite good at fencing. Therefore, even if the beautiful family-the red family, the backing, exists in name only, he still stands out at the speed of making an exception, and now he has a small position among military attache. Although he is not a climate in the whole court, a person who can have an influence on Jinglan is definitely a big shot in the beautiful heart.

"I don't know who the other person is, and I don't know why he came to see me, but it's polite to let me know in advance. A sudden visit at a temporary time ... all my plans were disrupted! The whole thing is in chaos! "

Beauty clenched her fist, suddenly looked up at Jinglan, and gripped his chest and skirt tightly.

"What should I do, Jinglan! I have to overdraw again this month! Next, there used to be a well-paid job, but now it's all gone! I thought I could have money to buy rice this month, but I still can only buy wheat ... wheat ... wheat! ! The middle line of wheat! The middle line, which is completely different from rice, will sneer at me again this month:' I'm not rice!' Ah-I'm not willing. I'm not willing! I hate which guest ~! "

" little miss! Nobody said that! Wheat can't talk. "

Jinglan was worried about causing others to look askance, so she looked around at once. This reaction is natural, because beautiful is standing in the street shouting loudly now ... but the people who come and go are not paying much attention.

"Don't worry, Miss, I will take up more sideline jobs, and the tiles that were blown off by the wind the other day should be repaired as soon as possible. It's better to be in trouble when it rains. Wooden barrels are also very expensive. I will buy tiles and repair them myself, which will save a lot of money. I will also bring back some useful lattice doors from the city ... Miss, please don't be sad. I like wheat rice very much, which is very nutritious."

"whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa-Jinglan! I'm sorry! Always giving you trouble, if my dad was a little more competitive, he wouldn't have ended up like this! "

"Don't worry about this little thing, Miss."

"Our Red Family simply can't afford to pay the salary, and the other servants have long run away ... but you have kept it, while a court military attache has to keep accounts for restaurants, write letters for them and run errands for merchants. This is how our Red Family orders people all over the world."

"..........."

It seems so, Jinglan thought.

"The salary you received could have made you worry about food and clothing, but if you stayed in our red house, all your salary would be spent on miscellaneous repairs and living expenses of our house ... Even so, our family still dare not ask you to leave us and find a better master. Please forgive us! On the other hand, if you really find a good environment, don't worry about us. "

" Miss. "

Jinglan interrupted beautiful words with a wry smile.

"really don't worry about it. I won't leave you unless you drive me away. I don't have any complaints, but I'm glad to repay your kindness."

"Grace ...?"

"Thirteen years ago, your family took me in as a stranger and stayed at the Red Family. I have already made up my mind to repay your great kindness in my life, so you don't have to be upset about it at all, Miss."

"... Jinglan ..."

The beautiful face is twisted again.

"alas, I'm so angry! Why did our family fall to this point! It's useless to be above the others! ！”

"......................."

Patting her beautiful back, Jinglan nodded her head in agreement with this statement.

(... it is true that "only" has a high position ...)

It can be seen from the surname "red".

the territory of caiyun kingdom is divided into eight States, namely, blue state, red state, blue state, yellow state, white state, black state, tea state and purple state. The names of these States all follow the old names. Six hundred years ago, on a whim, the then king ordered the local tycoons who ruled the States to change their surnames. Blue Zhou Hou changed to Lan's, Red Zhou Hou changed to Hong's, and so on. At the same time, it is forbidden for civilians to have the same surname as these eight marquis, so having these eight colors of surnames implies the aristocratic status among nobles. In addition, since the capital, the capital of Zizhou, where the imperial court is located, is also the king, Zi has since become the surname representing the royal family.

after 6 years, the ruling system was gradually changed from the feudal system of autonomy of local nobles in each state to the system of appointment by the central government of the imperial court, but the family of seven surnames-Zishi is another matter because it belongs to the royal family-still exists today.

In the past, the bureaucratic door, which was dominated by aristocratic children, was also opened to ordinary people. After decades of trial-production of the official appointment system-China, most of the palace examination people who were able to enter the final test came from families with seven surnames. Because the seven-surname family spent a lot of money to cultivate talents at the same time as the national trial, the result is naturally that the seven-surname family has a large number of talents and its reputation is in full swing. Once you are promoted to a senior official, you can naturally get a rich salary without any loss to the family of seven surnames.

Beauty comes from a red family of seven surnames-and she is a lineal noble family with pure blood. The red family is second only to the blue family among the seven surname families, and it can be called a noble family. According to legend, the purple surname representing the royal family name is the color of the intersection of red and blue, so red and blue were given to the two most powerful tycoons at that time.

(..... It is reasonable to say that a young lady should live a good life surrounded by a large number of maids. )

No matter how outrageous it is, you can't cry in the street that you can only eat wheat this month, the account books are all red, the tiles have been blown off, and you are worried about the roof leakage, but you really have no money to repair it.

why did miss Tang hongjia have such an experience?

The reason may come from Shao Ke, the eldest son of the Hong family, who is also a beautiful father. Because of his gentle personality, he was criticized from time to time for not being able to act as a patriarch. Coupled with his brother's outstanding talent, Shao Ke's father told his brother to inherit the next patriarch before he died. Shao Ke, who thought he was unfit for the post of patriarch, naturally said nothing, and even acted in accordance with his father's last words with joy.

However, after his brother inherited the family business, Shao Ke's position as the eldest son was somewhat embarrassing. Therefore, after many considerations, he decided to leave Hongzhou with his family as soon as possible, but it was impossible for the Hongshi clan to displace his eldest son, so he built a mansion in Zizhou in advance and arranged a senior official position for Shao Ke in the DPRK. So Shao Ke's family moved to Zizhou, and on the way, he took Jinglan, who fainted by the road, and then moved into his present mansion.

The so-called high-ranking official of the imperial court is actually a dispensable official in charge of managing the treasury-library, and even many people have never heard of this position. Therefore, the Ministry of Finance often forgets to pay Shao Ke, and Shao Ke has never protested about this matter, so his salary gradually decreases, and finally it turns into a general mobilization in the government-only Shao Ke, Xiu Li and Jing Lan are always involved. Shao Ke is often buried in the books in the treasury, and he can hardly be expected to support his family, so now only beauty and Jinglan really support his family.

Jinglan recalled the past, and her eyes suddenly turned to be ethereal.

(... I didn't expect such a huge maintenance fee for that vast mansion ...)

At first, Beauty and Jinglan were optimistic, because they usually lived frugally, so long as they earned enough food for three people, they should be able to live ...

Unexpectedly, it took more than half to maintain a livable environment for that horribly large mansion. Even if it is strictly stipulated that Shao Ke must earn one
