Chapter 104 It turns out to be him

In his previous life, Xu Yun had a relatively casual daily schedule due to his freelance work. Therefore, over time, he developed a biological clock from the underworld.

That means going to bed at three or four in the morning and getting up at one or two in the afternoon.

Under such a routine all year round, Xu Yun also suffered from reflux esophagitis, which is a condition where acid reflux in the stomach burns the esophagus.

However, after his rebirth, he deliberately adjusted his work and rest habits. Although staying up late was necessary for scientific research work, the overall work and rest time was still relatively sunny.

So when there was a sound of urging outside the door at three o'clock in the morning, Xu Yun quickly woke up.

"Hey, guys in the room, wake up early!"

".Oh, here it comes!"

Xu Yun rubbed his sleepy eyes, responded briefly, and then stood up and put on his clothes.

The clothes the old steward gave him yesterday were a standard set of uniforms, extremely simple and plain, with no trace of the so-called contemporary style.

As for the clothes worn by the old man, the head of the family, they were quite good. They seemed to be made of silk, and some of the textures in them might make it easy for professionals to tell the dynasty.

But don't forget.

Xu Yun is a science student.

You ask him to carry a calf, Dirac, these big guys have no problem with their resumes, and they can even do it while carrying them backwards.

But it is a bit difficult to ask him to analyze the specific era through some clothing details.

After all, there are specializations in the profession, and people's abilities are limited.

After getting dressed.

Xu Yun opened the door and walked into the courtyard.

The room he was in was located in the middle of the south wing. Next to it was a firewood room, and beyond was the wing where the servants slept.

There is a large millstone in the courtyard, which is slowly turning, grinding the rice.

In addition, there were several servants carrying and chopping firewood in the courtyard, looking very hardworking.

Seeing Xu Yun going out, one of the servants came forward immediately and handed over a set of items:

"Here, for your washing expenses, there is a channel in the corner. You can fetch water and wash yourself quickly. You still have to work in the morning."

Xu Yun subconsciously took the set of objects and found that they were a wooden cup and a small, soft wooden brush.

Seeing this, Xu Yun looked thoughtful.

Although he has little knowledge about clothing, he is quite familiar with the history of toothbrushes:

The word toothbrush officially appeared in the Yuan Dynasty. Guo Yu's poem said: "On the day when a toothbrush is sent to Nanzhou, it is worth a piece of gold to remove dirt and dust."

However, in the Song Dynasty before the Yuan Dynasty, the ancients had already had the habit of brushing their teeth, and the name of the toothbrush was also called brushing teeth.

For example, Zhou Mi, a survivor of the Southern Song Dynasty, recorded it in his book "Meng Liang Lu":

"There is Ling's tooth brushing shop at the entrance of Lion Lane, and Fu Guanren's tooth brushing shop at the entrance of Jinzi Lane."

As for the Sui and Tang Dynasties, which were further back in the Song Dynasty, although there were records of tooth brushing, most people at that time brushed their teeth by chewing willows.

Maybe some people created toothbrushes in advance for various reasons, but it would never be universal enough for servants to use them.

"The costumes of the Yuan Dynasty are obviously not of this style. The toothbrushes of the Ming Dynasty have long handles. As for the Qing Dynasty, it is impossible just by looking at the hairstyle. In other words, I am most likely to come to the Song Dynasty?"

Thinking of this, Xu Yun's eyes couldn't help but light up:

"Scientists of the Song Dynasty. Shen Kuo? Su Song? Qin Jiushao? Or Yang Hui?"

Just as Xu Yun's mind was racing, the man's impatient voice sounded again:

"Hey, what are you doing here just standing there? You have to walk a few steps and we have to carry you there?"

Only then did Xu Yun come to his senses and hurriedly apologized to the man:

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm obsessed with thinking about things."

After saying that, he walked to the edge of the ditch with his dental tools, scooped some water from a wooden bucket, and started brushing his teeth.

In fact, Xu Yun still doesn't understand why the owner of the courtyard did not report him to the government and arranged such a residence for himself.

After all, logically speaking, what he did was considered a break-in, right?

The old man's words yesterday seemed to be filled with regret, as if he was thinking of something weird.

But this is a good thing for Xu Yun.

After all, no matter which dynasty enters the situation, it is quite troublesome, but I feel that everyone seems to look at me a little strangely.

How to say it.

It’s like the feeling I had when I went to the hospital to register at the registration machine in my previous life, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the guy next to me who was admitted to the Department of Urology

After a few minutes.

After washing up, Xu Yun returned to the scene, with the bell on his foot tinkling all the way.

After arriving in front of the man, he gently cupped his hands:

"I dare to ask, brother, what can I do?"

This man was one of the servants who detained Xu Yun yesterday. After returning to the room, he listened to the old governor relaying his master's guess. He didn't know what he thought of at this time. He glanced at Xu Yun's lower body with some pity:
< br>

"The bones in your body can neither chop firewood nor grind wood. So be it, Xiaosan'er!"

As soon as the man finished speaking, a boy in his teens appeared beside him:

"Brother Yongzhu, here you are."

The man nodded and said to Xu Yun:

"Just follow the mistress to fetch water. There are more than forty households in the house, and the daily water consumption is also a lot.

You. By the way, what's your name? ”

Xu Yun thought for a while and said:

"I'm Wang Lin, my nickname is Wang Mazi."

"Wang Mazi?"

When the mistress on the side heard this, her eyes stayed on his face for a few seconds:

"I see you have a fair face, but where does it look like you have a pockmark?"

Xu Yun sighed:

"It's easy to make a living with a bad name."

Hearing Xu Yun's last words, the tall man thought that Xu Yun was thinking of his past tragic experiences again. He was silent for a moment and urged:

"Mazi, let bygones be bygones. You broke into the house by accident, and you fulfilled your destiny.

When the master returns to his hometown and creates a roster for you, you can be considered a human being, at least you don’t have to be someone else’s plaything. ”

Xu Yun: ".?"

I understand every word you said, but why does it feel weird when you put them together?

Then, led by Xiao San'er, Xu Yun came to another well in the south wing.

The mistress said to Xu Yun while putting on the hoop:

"There are two wells in the south wing of the courtyard. The well that fell into yesterday's house needs to be left aside for a few days before it can be reused.

These days you and I have been focusing on this, do you understand? ”

Looking at Xiao San'er who looked like a little adult, Xu Yun nodded obediently:

"I understand."

Xiaosaner continued:

"As long as you understand, there are nine members of the master's family in our house, and thirty-one maids, servants, and caretakers. Counting you, there are thirty-two people in total.

The water pumped out every day needs to be sent to the main room first. If there are guests staying overnight, it will be sent to the east wing first. If there are no guests, it will be sent to the west wing. Finally, it will be sent to the south wing. ”

Xu Yun nodded again:

"I remember this too."

Xiao San'er has a young mind, and seeing Xu Yun's correct attitude, he started talking more:

"Wang Mazi, don't be so sullen. Do you know where you are?

Let me tell you, in our city of Bianjing, servants in ordinary palaces only earn three guan per month. If they have a family and children to support, they have to pay for food and drink.

But our master is a big-hearted man. He doesn’t talk about monthly money, and there is still yearly money at the end of the year. Wang Mazi, how much do you think I got last year? ”

Xu Yun smiled and guessed a number at random:

"Three Guans?"

Xiao San'er shook her head quickly and spread her five fingers with a flying face:

"Full of five strings! My mother said that when she saves some money, she will go to Dongxiang to find a match for me!"

Then Xiao San'er didn't know what he thought of, and a trace of expectation appeared in his eyes:

“Last year, I got five guan of the annual money. I’m afraid I can get more than 10 guan this year?”

Xu Yun blinked, this time he was really surprised:

"Ten points? So much increase? Double the salary per year of service?"

"What's the length of service?"

The mistress looked at him inexplicably and said:

"Last month and today, there was a general amnesty for the whole world. My good friend Dongpo layman was resettled in Yongzhou and reinstated as the imperial minister. With this happy event, can't I get more money?"

Amnesty to the world.

Dongpo layman.

Chao Fenglang.

These three words were like three bolts of lightning piercing the night sky, striking Xu Yun's heart hard and even causing him to temporarily lose consciousness.

Gulu.

After a few breaths.

Xu Yun swallowed hard and stared at Xiao San'er solemnly:

"Third brother, may I ask what the master's name is?"

Xiaosaner slapped his head:

"Hey, I forgot to tell you about this. Our master's surname is Su, and his name is Zirong. He became the prime minister in the seventh year of Yuanyou, and now he is serving as the prince's young master. He is in the entire Bianjing city. No, in He was also a famous figure in the entire Song Dynasty!" (End of Chapter)
