My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 710 Life
The warm summer breeze blew across the rows of green trees along the country road. The tender green leaves rustled, and mottled light swayed on the road. Several buses roared from afar, and the drivers' screams of fear could be faintly heard in the cars.

"Ahhh! Let me get back to my seat!!"

The driver, who was overweight and had thinning hair, was struggling in the aisle. A fat man pulled him and persuaded him with a smile on his face: "It's okay, let us have some fun too. We promise that we won't ruin your job."

"fart!"

The driver looked at the driving seat, and saw another fat man with a full beard and a woolen hat on his head. He was holding the steering wheel and laughing excitedly, and he stepped on the accelerator so hard that the engine in the car was roaring as it sped away.

Except for the driver, no one in the car was afraid. If the car really overturned, they could easily escape with the driver. Even Yuwen Chengdu and others in the car might be able to jump out of the car and right it.

Ma Yunlu in the car was quite excited by the fast driving, probably because he hadn't felt this way for many years. Zhao Yun, who was standing next to him, felt a headache after hearing it and simply turned his face to the window.

After re-entering the world, the world is completely different.

Along the way, there were many more women walking on the streets, which was a good thing. However, when we arrived in the south and it was summer, women on the streets began to expose their arms and thighs. For a conservative ancient man like Zhao Yun, he simply couldn't bear to see this.

Of course, people like Zhao Gou, Zhu Wen, Cao Cao, Zhao Kuangyi, Li Cunxu, and even Li Shimin were all very open and frank.

They are indeed very open about their lust.

Five buses sped along the country road. Ni Yuhan, who was on the first bus, had become familiar with the Chinese generals and the emperor, and would occasionally chat with one or two of them.

"By the way, Yuhan, we are not living in your old house for nothing."

Sitting in the aisle seat in the second row, a woman wearing a deep blue long-sleeved shirt and a dark blue striped long skirt smiled as she looked at Ni Yuhan who was quietly counting the number of people.
"When you have time, Auntie will give you a small gift."

There were also female relatives around, such as Lu Lingqi and her mother Yan. After hearing the gentle words of the woman in front, they couldn't help but admire the Empress Ma of the Ming Dynasty who came after them.

This sentence not only brings people closer together, but also wins people's hearts and gives people a way out.

"I've never had any contact with Queen Ma before. I didn't expect her to be so resourceful and use her skills without making people feel disgusted." Lu Lingqi went to the palace many times, but she never had the opportunity to visit the ancestral temple in the back garden.

"Which founding monarch's queen is incompetent?" Yan was wearing a plain dress and a pair of white flat shoes. Originally, Lu Lingqi wanted her to wear open-toed high heels, but how could Yan accept that? She even scolded Lu Lingqi.

Lu Lingqi curled her lips and didn't want to talk to her mother about how good the other person was. Instead, she changed the subject and looked around.

"Mom, where is our Lord Wenhou?!"

Yan couldn't help but glare at her daughter's joke, then pointed to the roof of the car: "It's up there!"

Following Lu Lingqi's surprised gaze, he looked out of the car window and saw the roof of the fast-moving bus. Lu Bu's feet seemed to have taken root on the roof, standing firmly.

He crossed his hands in front of his chest, faced the strong wind, closed his eyes and tried to find the feeling of riding Red Hare and Feiyan Hongyun horse.

This frightened the residents of the nearby villages who were passing by on the road. Those who reacted quickly took out their mobile phones, but when they tried to take pictures, all they could see was a distant figure's back.

Not long after, five buses drove into Ni Yuhan's hometown in the countryside. She had almost no relatives there, and she planned to sell the old house to someone else.

Fortunately, I didn’t sell it at that time, so I went to the north with the professor to explore tombs.

As she was thinking this, another ten minutes passed. At her reminder, several buses drove into the asphalt road of the village.

A few cars were already eye-catching. When the villagers who were chatting at the entrance of the village saw dozens or even hundreds of people getting off the cars, they immediately took out their cell phones and called the village chief and the People's Security Association.

"Hey! Village chief, is our village going to be demolished? There are so many vicious people coming."

"Call the head of the Civil Society!"

"That... woman with glasses, looks so familiar?"

"Isn't that the old girl from the Ni family's mansion in the north of the village?!"

"Is this a tour group to bring people home?"

“There’s really nowhere to go.”

The elderly people gathered at the entrance of the village were eating melon seeds and chattering as they watched the group of people getting off the bus. Someone uttered the word "old girl", and everyone present laughed maliciously.

……

"We've finally arrived!"

Zhao Kuangyin strode out of the car, stomping his feet on the ground twice, and called Zhao Kuangyi, who was still bragging to Wu Zetian, to quickly catch up with the people in front, "Don't have any contact with that woman, aren't you afraid that Li Shimin will kill you with a knife."

"Not all the villagers are honest and kind, so don't take it to heart." Zhu Yuanzhang, who came from a poor mountain village, knew all about these things in the village.

What was said over there was naturally heard clearly in front of the crowd with excellent hearing and vision. No one was the kind of person who would argue, nor did they want to argue with these old ladies.

He followed Ni Yuhan, who was also pretending not to hear, and headed towards her old house.

The roads in the village are all cement roads. There is a small river next to it. The empty mud land by the river is planted with green vegetables. Going forward, after passing a few houses, is Ni Yuhan’s old house.

The dilapidated old house is of modern style, divided into four courtyards. Each courtyard is a quadrangle courtyard, so it is no problem for Ying Zheng and hundreds of other people to live there.

It’s just that the gate is old, the ground is overgrown with weeds, and many of the small green tiles on the roof have fallen off. In some places, you can see the sunlight shining directly into the house from the roof.

The furniture in the room was wrapped in white dust cloth, and it was obvious that Ni Yuhan still cherished these old items.

"I haven't been back for a long time. I didn't expect it to be so broken. If I had known, I would have asked a repairman to fix it in advance."

Ni Yuhan led everyone into the yard. Seeing the broken roof, she felt a little embarrassed. "Haha, it's common to camp in the wilderness during marches and battles. This little broken roof is nothing."

Su Chen chuckled twice and came over to smooth things over so that the woman wouldn't feel so embarrassed.

"Let's not embarrass the little girl. The house is broken, so let's repair it." The First Emperor put his hands on his waist and waved his hand: "What do you think?"

"Your Majesty, was it just like this when you renovated the Afang Palace on a whim?" Xiang Yu embraced Yu Ji and came over. He was not opposed to renovating the house, but felt uncomfortable that the First Emperor sent him there.

"Yes, I remember that when I was dying, there was still one hall that had not been repaired... I wonder if it was all repaired later..."

When Ying Zheng's past was mentioned, he couldn't help but sigh.

Others around, including the emperors, looked away and did not respond to the Afang Palace. Instead, Xiang Yu sneered twice and said something casually.

"I burned it."

Ying Zheng's eyes widened: "Is it really burned?"

"It really burned!" Liu Bang moved to Ying Zheng's side and whispered, "It burned for three whole months."

Everyone's hearts were lifted.

Feeling the atmosphere become tense, Yu Ji nervously held Xiang Yu's arm and looked at Ying Zheng opposite her with a wary look.

"Why not burn things that cost the people money and labor?"

"I said Xiang Ba Wang is stubborn!"

Qin Hui muttered quietly in the crowd: "If we burn it down, wouldn't it be a waste of money and manpower? It would be better to tear it down and sell the wood and stones. It can be a show and can also give more rewards to the soldiers in the army."

Just when everyone was nervous, Ying Zheng suddenly turned around and looked at the dilapidated house in front of him: "It's better to burn it down, at least people will know that I am not a perfect person, everyone has merits and demerits. Let's not talk about it, now we have to live here, how can we live here for nothing?"

"That makes sense. Since we have chosen Miss Ni's old house to settle down, we should do our best. How can we let others look down on us?"

Zhao Kuangyin was a generous person, and when he saw the First Emperor speak, he stopped procrastinating.

Soon, people from the village rushed over and saw such a group of tall and strong men standing there. Their momentum, which was originally intended to scold Ni Yuhan, immediately wilted when they saw the looks from Lu Bu and Dian Wei.

"Um... Yuhan, are these your friends outside?"

"Yes, I asked them to renovate the old house."

Ni Yuhan might stutter a little when talking about ancient figures, but for ordinary people, her graduate studies were not in vain, and her every word and action was to try to avoid possible risks.

"You see, no one has lived in this house for many years. I thought it couldn't be left empty. I decided to let my friends renovate it. They can come and visit when they are free, stay for a few nights occasionally, and make some economic contributions to the nearby town."

"Okay... okay... just be careful."

The village chief originally wanted to ask something, but found that there was nothing to ask. As for checking the ID cards, it was not his job. Besides, who would have thought that in modern society, a group of people of such an old age were still illegal residents?

The village chief also clearly felt that there must be high-ranking officials among these people, and the aura in their gestures could definitely not be faked.

Immediately, he carefully stood by to provide a foil and told the village officials of the People's Association who came over his guess. Now no one had any objections, and they even helped contact masons, bricks, tiles, and sand and gravel suppliers.

The efficiency was so high that in less than two hours, the materials were piled up in the open space outside the house, and the craftsmen started planing wood and mixing cement without saying a word.

Here, everyone wanted to be ordinary people, so they put down their airs and followed the masons. The carpenters worked, taking off their clothes and working shirtless until they were sweating.

Wu Zetian, Ma Yunlu, Lu Lingqi, Yan Shi, Yu Ji and other female relatives built a bonfire in the open space, boiled water, and made soup for their men.

The color of the sky gradually darkened over time.

The house with a new roof was illuminated by the bonfire. Hundreds of people were sitting around the bonfire. Frozen beef and mutton bought from the vegetable market were roasted on the bonfire. Boxes of red, white and yellow wine were placed in front of the heroes.

Su Chen's wealth and connections over the past thousands of years are still very extensive. Long before he led everyone out of the mountains, he had already been building connections and obtaining legal identities for everyone.

Only after learning that the matter had been settled did he hang up the phone with satisfaction.

The village chief got a mobile speaker from somewhere and played pop music. After listening for a while, Qin Shihuang, Zhao Kuangyin and Li Shimin took the microphone and sang "Borrow Another Five Hundred Years from God".

When Cao Cao heard the singing, he just raised his eyelids and snorted coldly.

He then continued to flip through the philosophy book "Philosophy of Men" in his hand. There were several other books on the stool next to him, such as "The Structure of Socialism", "Postpartum Care of Sows", "Disassembly and Assembly of Motorcycles", etc.

Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, held a globe in one hand and a magnifying glass in the other, and he and Huo Qubing carefully looked at the place names on the globe.

Li Shimin looked through the military footage on a certain audio app on his phone, frowned and thought, and when he saw the contact information, he couldn't help but start writing military content.

Liu Bei flipped through the tablet and pulled Zhang Fei and Guan Yu to check out the workmanship and styles of shoes in this era. Liu Bang would occasionally lean over to take a look.

“They seem to like it.”

Ni Yuhan had been busy all day, and her pretty face flushed as she looked at the group of people who were enjoying themselves in the firelight. "By the way, Your Majesty the Changsheng Emperor, what are your plans?"

"Me? Haha, I've done everything."

Su Chen looked at the happy faces and smiled. Then he said softly, "As for me, I just need to stay with them now. Seeing them happy makes me happy... I think that's the plan for now. We can talk about the future later."
