The snowflakes are fluttering, and the north wind is blew.

There is only a vastness left in the world...

Chu Sheng opened his eyes and looked up, and saw himself sitting cross-legged on the golden carved wooden bed. The curtain swayed lightly, and a snow-white cat claw stretched out behind him, hanging on the curtain, and purring in his mouth.

Outside the window, there is a frozen lake.

The willow strips on the shore of the lake are covered with thick snow.

Chu Sheng poked a hand out of the window and caught a snowflake. The cold touch told him that all this was true.

Different clothing and houses revealed that this was another world, and he had traveled through time.

Originally, Chu Sheng was working in a sales job in a large enterprise, but because he was experienced in dealing with people and strong ability to do things, he was very popular with his superiors. One night, Chu Sheng drank a little too much after a social engagement, and found a small solution on the way back. The road was dark at night, and what Chu Sheng didn't expect was that a cable fell down in a convenient place. Unfortunately, the liquid landed on the cable. At this time, the power box above his head suddenly splashed in sparks, and then he lost consciousness. When he woke up, he was already coming to this world.

Chu Sheng had spent five days in this world at this time.

He picked up the tea cup beside the table, looked at the black tea leaves that were rotating in the cup, and smelled the aroma of orchids that emanated from it.

"Young Master, the tea bought from Chunqiu Pavilion is just right to drink in this season." Xiao Qi, the close maid next to him, secretly approached and raised her head to praise the tea in Chu Sheng's hand.

Xiaoqi is eight years old this year, and is a woman of gender. When she was just redeemed from Chunxiao, she was a little shorter than her peers because of her malnutrition. She was only seven years old at that time. At this time, she was wearing a slightly bloated plain white cotton coat, with green leaves embroidered with emerald green silk thread on her cuffs, extending from her sleeves to her shoulders. She was wearing a dark red cloak. She had just come in from outside, and there was an unmelted snowflake on her shoulders.

The coat was draped on Xiaoqi's body and walked on the road with a hat. It looked like a moving winter melon.

Chu Sheng smiled and touched her head: "If you can get enough tea cups on the table, you can drink them."

Looking at the table above her head, Xiaoqi didn't say anything, but from her tightly clenched hands, she seemed angry.

Chu Sheng shook his head with a smile, rubbed Xiaoqi's hair with his hands, took out an empty cup from the tea set, bent down and put it on the chair in front of her, picked up the teapot and poured it out slowly.

"It's the last drink. After drinking it, you have to go to Chunqiu Pavilion to buy some of the red fragrance." Chu Sheng said regretfully and pointed to the door. "After drinking, hurry up and prepare the car, and the auction will begin in a while."

After Xiao Qi took the cup with both hands, her whole face was pressed into the cup, which looked like a mammal of some kind, drinking water.

She stood on tiptoe and placed the empty cup on the brown wooden chair, and ran out in a flash.

Chu Sheng smiled and didn't say anything.

The carriage was ready soon.

Chu Sheng lifted the curtain and walked up. In the car was filled with large marten fur that kept warm in winter, hand warmers on the seat, small yellow-wood carved tables, and freshly prepared refreshments.

Xiaoqi was holding the pastry and chewing. When he saw Chu Sheng coming up, he stuffed his mouth in one breath, making his cheeks bulging.

Chu Sheng couldn't help but pinch her face.

Chunqiu Pavilion is not far from Chu Mansion, and the carriage arrives soon.

After a while, the carriage stopped.

In front of the Chunqiu Pavilion, a servant saw the carriage from the Chu Mansion arrive and knew that Chu Sheng was coming. After all, Chu Sheng was one of their noble guests. As he smelled the smell, he came forward to help lift the curtain.

Chu Sheng stepped out of the car and looked up at the attic in front of him.

Rectangular plaque with gold characters on red background, three large golden characters are carved in the middle: Chunqiu Pavilion

"Your Madam Chu, please come inside. The Tianzi wing room upstairs is just empty for you." A servant led the way with a smile on his face.

Chu Sheng nodded and made a begging gesture to the maid beside him with his left hand. Xiao Qi reluctantly handed the stove in his hand. He held the stove in both hands and followed the servant upstairs with a familiarity.

There are three floors in the attic, the first and second floors are in ordinary areas, and the third floor is the private room for distinguished guests.

There is a special platform on the first floor for those singers and those with special skills to perform.

The auction only starts after the performance. It usually auctions some expensive ingredients, and occasionally there are jade calligraphy and paintings.

At this time, behind the screen on the stage, a storyteller who was mastering ventriloquism was sitting.

The art of ventriloquy is the first time Chu Sheng has heard it on the spot in two lifetimes. There is only one person behind the screen, and the sounds are heard in various ways, from footsteps to the barking of dogs, all of which grasp the essence of it. When various sounds are combined, the scenes appear in the sound appear in the mind, making the story extremely realistic and realistic.

Chu Sheng went up to the second floor, picked a remote corner close to the stands, and then sat down and said.

"That's it. I won't go upstairs to listen to music today. It's also interesting to hear weird stories downstairs occasionally."

"Okay, I'll bring the refreshment here, you can wait for a moment."

After the servant left, he notified the kitchen to prepare refreshments.

The reddish-brown wooden table was soon filled with a table of refreshments. Chu Sheng put crystal crispy cakes in his mouth, peeling and crispy when he entered his mouth, cool tongue and teething, making it sweet and tasty. Take another sip of osmanthus tea, and the faint fragrance of osmanthus and the sweetness of the refreshment were mixed together. Only those who have tasted it know.

"This kind of life seems good if you can reach out for clothes, eat, and maids and entourage!"

Chu Sheng has been thinking these days, or he would have been a rice worm all his life. But after living a life without a goal, life suddenly became boring.

When Chu Sheng came here, he thought it was in ancient times, but after several days of personal experience, he found that the living customs and dynasties here were not the same as what he knew, and there were many unusual things in this era.

Chu Sheng was watching and eating, and a greedy person was swallowing his saliva while watching.

Xiaoqi raised her little head and looked at Chu Sheng in a daze.

Chu Sheng, who felt someone was looking at him, looked around and found that no one was watching this place. It was not until a little hand pulled his clothes and lowered his head and found that it was the maid looking at him.

Two big eyes blinked and looked at the pastry by the table.

"This...you should just stand on the chair and choose it yourself." Chu Sheng shook his head helplessly

After Xiaoqi got permission, she climbed up to the chair and saw the table full of pastries. She frowned and stretched out her little hand to reach the red bean cake on the other side of the table. She almost threw the cake on the table. Finally, she took the nearby pancake and stuffed it into her mouth.

Chu Sheng looked at the maid's silly eating look and couldn't help pinching her face.

"Bon~"

At this time, the bright candles in the hall were extinguished, the windows around were closed, and the surroundings were pitch black, leaving only the candlelight near the gong-beating men on the stage.

On the stage was a fat man wearing a green high-legged hat, wearing a green dress with gold wire, and holding a gong hammer wrapped in red cloth in his hand.

Next to him was a cabinet covered with red cloth, and there was a small purple-red wooden cabinet above it. The things in the wooden cabinet were the items Chu Sheng was going to buy this time.

"The first batch of red fragrances that were just shipped from Zhaohua Kingdom this year. After soaking in water, this product will emit a refreshing fragrance. Long-term drinking will have the effects of calming the mind and calming the spirit."

The fat man in green clothes loudly introduced the box of goods.

"The starting price is one hundred taels!"

"One hundred and fifty taels!"

One of the businessmen with a brown turban on his head raised his hand and shouted loudly.

"Three hundred taels!"

Chu Sheng reported that the price was twice as high as before.

The businessman saw that Chu Sheng had paid such a high price, shook his head and sat down. A discerning person could see that he had lost interest at a glance.

The host on the stage repeatedly confirmed that there was a gong hammer behind him.

"Congratulations to this gentleman, please come to the backend to deliver it later."

Because of personal financial resources and preferences, Chu Sheng is willing to pay a large price to buy this.

"If three hundred taels are exchanged for the currency of the country before the time travel, its purchasing power is equivalent to 90,000 famous coins, which is enough to buy a car, so only after the time travel, will you dare to spend money like this."

Chu Sheng shook his head with a self-deprecating self-deprecating feeling that this little money is a slight connotation for him. According to the memories left in his body before, he usually has a big deal, and the monthly expenses cost at least 1,000 taels. Occasionally, he may spend more money on rare antiques.

Chunqiu Pavilion is an auction house that is held every half a month. Most of the auction items, such as jade calligraphy and painting, come from normal channels.

Most of the people who like to participate in this auction are rich people. In addition, Chunqiu Pavilion and the city defense army are inextricably linked, and the military will deal with difficult events.

"Young master, they will take the things after a while." Xiao Qi trotted over and placed the bill on the chair.

After Chu Sheng put it away, he poured a cup of osmanthus tea and placed it on a chair.

"Don't worry, drink some water and eat something first, there may be some later." Chu Sheng handed over the fruit plate that he had just put on.

The next few pieces were just exotic silk and satin, fragrance vessels, and nothing else outstanding, which made him lose interest.

After the auction ended, Chu Sheng asked his maid to call the car, picked up the things he had just bought and put them in the carriage, and set off for the trip back home.

In the car, Chu Sheng looked at the Yuehongxiang I just bought and thought about what to do in the future. At this time, a faint red light flashed in the gap in the box in front of Chu Sheng. The maid next to him didn't notice it while eating the pastry, but Chu Sheng saw it in a trance. He quickly asked the driver to stop the car and asked the driver to unpack the box. Finally, he found that the Yuehongxiang was packaged, and there was no strange place. After checking it over and over again, he didn't notice that Chu Sheng thought he had hallucinations, so he ignored the matter.

The carriage was driving on the bustling Fuqing Street, and pedestrians on the road avoided the sides.

At the corner of the end of Fuqing Street is the Chu Mansion. Before Chu Sheng got out of the car, he heard pedestrians talking beside him.

"Did you hear that the daughter of the Wang family seems to be in a bad mood and is spreading this matter everywhere."

"What happened later?"

"Later, they heard from their servants who bought vegetables that just yesterday, their master invited a young Taoist priest outside to treat diseases and exorcise evil spirits. Don't say that this young Taoist priest is really capable. It is said that after a few red lights flashed in the room of the daughter of the Wang family at that time, the servants of the Wang family heard sharp screams outside the yard."

"Then is really dirty, and it's the body of the daughter of the Wang family to cause trouble?"

"I don't know this, but later the Taoist priest walked out safely. The lady of the Wang family also heard that she had recovered her spirits. However, the previous incident was so worried that Mr. Wang's hair was half white."

Chu Sheng stood by the stone lion and listened for a long time, and found that they were talking about Wang Daocheng's daughter of the Wang family.

Wang Daocheng started from scratch and was engaged in the medicinal materials business. He is a famous medicinal material owner in Qingfeng City in the north. He has a large family of people. More than half of the medicinal material stores in the city are opened by their families.

Chu Sheng respects Mr. Wang Daocheng very much. The old man is sincere and does business duties, and is a good businessman.

In my memory, Chu Sheng often played in their family when he was a child, and Mr. Wang was very close to him.

I didn't expect it now...

Chu Sheng took a step and walked towards his house across the door railing. At this time, he remembered the strange incident described by the Storyteller in the Chunqiu Pavilion.

"This world seems not as simple as I thought."

He looked at the snow all over the ground in the courtyard, and felt an indescribable sense of irritability.

In his previous life, he lived in a socialist country. Now that he has come to this world, he seems to have lost something for a moment.

"I always feel like something is missing?"

He shook his head, and there was always a stone pressing down on his heart, feeling bored and uneasy.

Chu Sheng returned to the house, lying on the carved bed, closing his eyes and recalling the conversation between the pedestrians before. The more he thought about it, the more he became, the more he was wrong. He ordered the servants to move the file to the family's warehouse, wanting to check whether there were any differences in the world recorded on the file.

The servant straightened his waist and carried the half-person-high file, slowly placed it next to the chair. There was a layer of dust covering the file. It seemed that no one had taken care of the warehouse for a long time, so that the things in the warehouse accumulated thick gray.

Chu Sheng moved out a stack of files and slowly blew off the top layer of dust. After turning it on, Chu Sheng carefully checked it.
Chapter completed!
