Chapter 01 Xu Xian

The beautiful scenery of West Lake in March, and the spring rain is like wine and willows like smoke.

During the Qingming Festival, after a spring rain, the willow trees on the shore of West Lake sprouted tender green buds and swayed gracefully in the breeze. The water on the lake is shimmering, and there are many pedestrians on the shore of the lake, and the scenery is very beautiful.

"It should be this place, right? I don't know how many more Qingming Festivals we have to wait for..." Xu Xuan held the railing with one hand and looked at the lake in the distance, breathing a sigh of relief.

Xu Xuan was originally a modern university student on Earth. After watching the old movie "The Legend of the New White Snake" on the weekend, he fell asleep while sleeping. After waking up, he traveled to this strange world.

His name is Xu Xian, and his name is Chinese.

That’s right, it’s Xu Hanwen who has accumulated great virtues in several lifetimes and finally received retribution in this life, and will be promised by the thousand-year-old snake demon Bai Suzhen in the near future!

"It seems that I can't go back."

Xu Xuan...

No, Xu Xian had completely accepted the fact that he had traveled through time three days ago.

When he first discovered that he had traveled to a world similar to that of the ancient Chinese, Xu Xian's eyes turned black and almost collapsed.

People who are used to modern high-tech mobile phones, computers, and cars suddenly reach an ancient era when material scarcity is extremely difficult to adapt.

But when he confirmed his identity, lived in Qiantang County, and his parents died at home, there was an older sister named Xu Jiaorong, and he finally felt a little bit more balanced and felt comforted.

At least, in the future, you can marry a wife with a beautiful appearance and an immortal, and be the number one young man in the world. How can an ordinary person have such a blessing?

As for the possible disasters, Xu Xian is no longer the same as Xu Xian. With his "foresight", he believes that he can change his original destiny.

"I just turned fifteen this year, how many years have I been here?"

"Oh, the TV series did not explain the age when my wife and I met!"

"Madam, Madam, I'm about to be impressed by my husband!"

Xu Xian thought in his heart, and then he felt ridiculous and muttered with amusement: "I'm really useless. I don't want to make progress all day long, but I just want to be a novice. Is there any more failed time traveler than this? My sister Xu Jiaorong has just met her brother-in-law Li Gongfu, and it's still early to get married. I have to wait for at least three or two years when I meet my wife."

In the TV series The Legend of the New White Snake, there is no explanation for how old Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen were when they met, but it is certain that Xu Jiaorong had already married Li Gongfu at that time.

Xu Xian was met by Bai Suzhen after following her sister and brother-in-law to visit West Lake after worshiping her ancestors on Qingming Festival.

"Hanwen, why are you whispering alone there! Come home with me quickly, I'm still busy!"

Just as Xu Xian was thinking about it, a soft and soft voice from a woman came, and it was her sister Xu Jiaorong.

Xu Jiaorong is six years old and is already twenty-one this year.

Because of his parents' premature death, Xu Xian was raised by his sister since childhood. It is not an exaggeration to say that the elder sister is like her mother.

At the age of twenty-one, it is naturally nothing on modern earth, that is, students who have not graduated from college. But it was different in ancient times. In the era when early marriage and early childbirth were common, women and children of this age could go out to the streets to make soy sauce!

If you are not married, you should be pointed at by someone. An old woman who can't get married will be stabbed by someone!

The reason why Xu Jiaorong has not married yet is not because she can't get married. She is virtuous, kind-hearted, and has a good appearance. Over the years, the matchmakers of the media have almost cut the threshold of the family, but she just refused.

Xu Xian knew very well the reason for this. The reason why his sister refused to get married was because of him!

It turns out that Xu Xianshang is still young and must not live alone and needs someone to take care of him. In the past two years, Xu Xian has grown up, but he has no skills and no ability to make money. He can't study, let alone scholars, even Tongsheng is not. If he leaves his sister Xu Jiaorong, he may still starve to death on the streets!

Therefore, there is a necessary condition for marrying Xu Jiaorong, that is, you must live with Xu Xian after getting married, which is equivalent to adding a burden to no reason.

In this way, it will naturally be extremely difficult to find a suitable partner.

Compared with Xu Jiaorong, she had no complaints and dissatisfaction. Even if there were many rumors, she lived a poor and difficult life in order to support Xu Xian to study.

Xu Xian came over and understood this, so his feelings for this sister did not diminish at all.

"Here you come!"

Xu Xian jogged all the way to Xu Jiaorong, reached out to take the basket from Xu Jiaorong, and said with a smile: "Sister, I'll get it."

The basket contains tributes for the Qingming Festival worship of ancestors, including braised yellow croaker, fried tofu with oil, green dumplings, and braised pork. These tributes can be eaten after the incense of ancestor worship is burned out.

If it is a rich family, they will eat a few bites in front of the cemetery and ignore it. The rest will be eaten by beggars and wild dogs. Poor families like Xu Xian will take these tributes for ancestor worship home and eat them slowly.

After all, these tributes are not cheap and you can't bear to waste them.

Xu Jiaorong did not stop him and gave the basket to Xu Xian. When Xu Xian took the basket, he saw his sister's hands and felt ache.

This is not like a pair of women's hands, which is completely tender and smooth. Ten fingers are covered with frostbite, extremely swollen, and locally filled with blood stasis, making it dark brown. In severe cases, there are even blisters and wounds!

Even though it was already March and the weather was warming up, these frostbite were not yet recovered.

In fact, Xu Jiaorong's physical condition does not develop frostbite, but in order to support Xu Xian in studying and taking the exam, she had to do several jobs, one of which was to help others wash clothes.

In this era, there was no washing machine, soak your hands in ice water for a long time in the cold winter. This torture can be imagined, and it is strange that it is not a strange thing to have frostbite.

"Sister, don't help others wash clothes in the future." Xu Xian said with pain as he gently stroked the frostbite on his fingers.

Xu Jiaorong dismissed, gave Xu Xian a blank look and said, "I'm talking nonsense again. If I don't help others wash clothes, how can I get money to support you in school! If you feel sorry for your sister, just try to get a sigh of relief. This time, I'll give me a child test and come back from the child exam!"

Tongsheng refers to students who pass the county and government examinations and can only be called Tongsheng after passing the county examination. Only when they become Tongsheng can they be qualified to take the college examination and scholar.

Xu Xian looked at the swollen hands covered with wounds and thought to himself: "It seems like I have to find a way to make money. It's really unreasonable for a big man to rely on his sister to support him as a hard worker."

As for the examination, Xu Xian showed a strange look on his face: "In the past, Xu Xian was not a material for studying, but now I am the most suitable one..."

Xu Xian was not very smart in reading, and he couldn't even read the saying "I'm lustful". This time he was able to pass the county examination, which was really lucky. The blind cat hit a dead mouse.

In the next test, the possibility of passing is basically zero.

So in the end, Xu Jiaorong had no choice but to give up studying and become an apprentice in the pharmacy.

But after a few days of traveling, Xu Xian clearly felt an unprecedented enlightenment in his head. I don’t know if it was a benefit for a time traveler. His memory is surprisingly good now, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he never forgets everything!

In addition to the memories of the Earth for more than 20 years in the previous life, many famous works have never appeared in this world and can be used for themselves. Isn’t it easy to get the test of fame and fortune?

"But, according to the background in the TV series, it should be the ancient Southern Song Dynasty now, but the fact is not like this! Is it that important to get a fame and fortune?"

If it is a dynasty in Chinese history, it is naturally the best way to climb upward to achieve fame and fortune in the imperial examination.

According to Xu Xian’s understanding over the past few days, the Dali Dynasty, which has been unifying the world for three hundred years, definitely does not belong to any dynasty in Chinese history!

Past history is also very different and tends toward the mythical world.

In this world, monsters, ghosts, and gods are not legends. Although they usually do not appear in the mortal world and are difficult for ordinary people to encounter, they are definitely real.

After all, my future wife is a snake demon who is about to cultivate into an immortal...
