Subversion of the plot [Comprehensive]
Chapter 51 "Half Life"
Zhu Changxu was the local emperor in Binzhou, and he had no troubles with his family members. He didn't like to socialize in official circles, and he was happy to be at ease every day.
There is the Prince Bin's mansion in Binzhou, but he doesn't like to live in it. He usually lives in Zhuangzi in the suburbs.This Zhuangzi includes several large and small hills nearby, hundreds of acres of fields, mountains and water, and pleasant scenery.There are still farmers tilling the fields, but on several mountains, he has planted peach trees. In spring, pink and tender peach blossoms are in full bloom all over the mountains and plains, just like a sea of fragrant snow.He rebuilt another villa on the mountainside, named it Taohuayuan, and after finishing everything, he sold Zhuangzi and several hilltops to Tao Shuobai for 100 taels of silver.
100 taels, if you really want to buy these hilltop villages, you don't even have a fraction, and even if you have money, there is no place to buy them.
Tao Shuobai took it calmly, lived in Zhuangzi instead of opening a shop, and instead studied how to deal with the evil spirit in his body, and at the same time, brewed wine in his spare time.Tao Shuobai is quite talented in wine making, and can get excellent wine making recipes, so the peach blossom wine he brewed is very famous, and was later designated as a tribute wine by the court.
Zhu Changxu was a little cautious and never mentioned the matter of opening a wine shop. Except for the tribute to the court and occasional rewards to subordinates during the New Year, the rest of the brewed wine was marked with the year and buried under the peach tree.Zhu Changxu practiced the exercises taught by Tao Shuobai, and it was said that he could live a hundred years in good health. He thought that these wines would become more fragrant as they were stored. Guests to celebrate.
At that time, what did he and Tao Shuobai look like?
The nineteenth day of the first lunar month is Zhu Changxu's birthday, and today is Zhu Changxu's [-]th birthday.
Since the age of 50, Zhu Changxu has not shown his face outside, and all affairs of the fiefdom of Binzhou are handled by the eldest son Zhu Youzhen.Zhu Youchun was the son of Cheng Ping'an, and he was adopted by King Bin as his heir at birth. He became a feudal clan at the age of 20, and he is now in his seventies.The emperor in the middle of the court has changed two terms, and he is very courteous and preferential treatment for this uncle who is far away in Binzhou, who lives peacefully and lives a long life. , I was unable to leave the fief without permission because the vassal king, but I asked for instructions from Zhezi, and sent the prince to celebrate his birthday.The emperor not only agreed, but also specially asked the prince to come here on behalf of the emperor, making a full gesture.
The banquet in the palace was lavish and the stage was lively, but these princes and grandchildren had to go to the Peach Blossom Spring outside the city to celebrate their birthdays. On such a big day like today, Shou Xinggong did not come back at all.
Headed by the crown prince, everyone entered the gate of Zhuangzi, and everyone was silent. After worshiping, they didn't even get a cup of birthday tea, so they were sent out one after another.These people looked at each other after they came out, and they were inexplicably surprised. Their old uncle and grandpa were clearly a hundred years old, but apart from the white hair, his face was like a handsome middle-aged man. Precipitated secrets.
It seems that the rumors that the old uncle and grandpa are successful in learning Taoism are indeed true.
At this moment, Zhu Changxu was both proud and disappointed, holding a mirror to keep looking at him, and said with his lips curled up, "Tsk, I'm getting old."
The face of the other person was reflected in the mirror. Decades later, it was still black-haired and jade-faced, clear and bright.
Zhu Changxu looked at him with warm eyes, but also very reluctant.Although he learned the exercises to prolong his life, and even took the elixir to keep his face beautiful, but after all, he was a mortal, and if he dragged on, he would only be left with an old crane skin, so what's the fun.
Tao Shuobai walked up to him: "We will see you again."
Zhu Changxu smiled: "Oh, you said the next life? It's a pity that I don't remember you at that time."
"I will remember one day." Tao Shuobai spent decades, and finally figured out the reason for the formation of evil energy in his body.
Zhu Changxu is indeed an immortal in the upper realm, fearing that he encountered a demon for some reason, he had no choice but to go down to the earth to seek relief. During this process, the memory of the immortal was sealed.Since he has a predestined relationship with it, presumably there is a reason for it, and because the evil spirit is extremely yin, and he himself is extremely yang, in this life, he has been together day and night for decades, and the breath blends, and the evil spirit becomes very quiet and obedient, but how to resolve it, It seems that the opportunity cannot be seen.
Zhu Changxu did practice Taoism in this life, and Tao Shuobai was there to remind him, so his comprehension is very good.Now he has vaguely glimpsed some clues, fully aware that ordinary manpower is not enough, and he is full of hope for Tao Shuobai's so-called reunion in the next life.
That night, Zhu Changxu said to him: "Shuobai, I haven't drunk the peach blossom wine for decades, it's a pity..."
Tao Shuo felt something in his heart, and when he turned his head to look, Zhu Changxu had lost his breath.
Tao Shuobai calmly called Zhu Youchun to take care of the funeral. He came to the back mountain alone, put all the old wine buried in the cellar into storage bags, and then called back Uncle Mu and other four people to start the teleportation formation.When Zhu Youchun came to look for him, he saw that white figure disappearing into a ray of white light.
After the shock, Zhu Youchun remembered what his mother told him.
Mother once said, don't resent him for adopting him to King Bin, because Mr. Tao is not a mortal.In the past, he never blamed his father, queen and queen. Although he was disappointed, he also felt that it was not easy to be an emperor, but he felt comfortable being a vassal king, but it was only today that he understood the true meaning of what his mother said.
Now he is 75 years old, but he is in good health, has hearing and eyesight, and walks like the wind. His brothers of the same generation are long gone, and even his nephews and nephews have never had his youthful spirit.What do people want in life?Safe and smooth, his wife is virtuous and his son is filial. It really is a good fortune that his mother painstakingly planned for him.
It was the first time for Tao Shuobai to stay in the mortal world for 80 years. Even though these few short decades were just a short span of time in his long life, the days with Zhu Changxuan's company were very different. When he returned to the underworld again, he felt Very lonely.
Tao Shuobai didn't stay long, left two altars of peach blossom wine for Zhong Kui, and entered the teleportation array again.
Before I could see the scene in front of me clearly, I heard the continuous beeping sound from the bronze mirror—"Friendly reminder! Friendly reminder! This small world is from the period of the Republic of China, please pay attention to the appearance of the staff."
Immediately afterwards, a promotional advertisement popped up: the mall's clothing is changing seasons, discounts and promotions, handmade suits, robes, cheongsams in the Republic of China...
Before the quotation sound came out from inside, Tao Shuobai decisively clicked off.Then I began to look at the original plot, "Half Life", the background of the story was in the Republic of China, old Shanghai in the 30s, a love story between several young men and women that ended in sadness.
Tao Shuobai hurriedly scanned the original plot, and then looked at the current progress, but saw that not long after the plot officially started, the female lead Gu Manzhen fell ill for the first time.According to experience, there must be a change at this stage, and the biggest possibility is that there is something wrong with the sick Gu Manzhen.
I clicked on the mall again, and looked at the dress code of this era. With a thought, the brocade robe on my body changed into a well-tailored white suit, and my long hair turned into short hair. I looked at it in a mirror, and there was nothing inappropriate, just not. I am very comfortable, especially the leather shoes on my feet, I always feel a little bit.
After thinking about it again, the suit was turned into a long gown, which is slightly different from the previous long gown, and more suitable for the conditions of the Republic of China. The simple white robe and a pair of black cloth shoes on the feet.In the end, he released the four of Uncle Mu and had to buy some clothes for them in the mall. After all, he was wearing a magic robe, and he could change styles as he wished. Uncle Mu was a discounted puppet, but there was no such configuration .After a lot of effort, Uncle Mu had several facelifts, and he looked like he came from an old-fashioned family. Uncle Mu wore a gray-blue gown, while Mu Shan wore a double-breasted jacket. Floral gown and wide-leg trousers, servants are dressed like this nowadays, and they do things neatly.
Tao Shuobai has silver, gold, and jade antiques, but he has no silver dollars, so he has to go to the pawn shop again.
After visiting three pawnshops and getting enough silver dollars, I decided to find a place to stay.Tao Shuobai didn't bother, and planned to open another Taoji paper goods shop. No matter what age, people always die, and this kind of shop always has no worries about customers.As for the household registration status, he asked Uncle Mu to handle it. It is not necessary to apply for a Shanghai household registration, but to hang in the countryside of Nanjing.
After assigning the matter to Uncle Mu and the others, Tao Shuobai went to Gu's house in stealth.
Enter along an alley, and the courtyard No. [-] is the Gu family.The courtyard is not big, it has two floors, Gu Manlu lives downstairs, Mrs. Gu, Mrs. Gu, the hostess Gu Manzhen and her two younger brothers live upstairs.There are eight members in the Gu family. Since Gu's father passed away, the burden of the family has fallen on the shoulders of the eldest daughter, Gu Manlu. In order to support the family and help her younger siblings to study, Gu Manlu and her childhood sweetheart fiance Zhang Mujin divorced and went to sea to become a dancer.Later, a Mr. Wang who ate at the stock exchange took care of her and gave her this house. Gu Manlu retired to the house and became a second-way courtesan. Mr. Wang often brought a few people to sit and sit.
It was already late at this time, Gu Manlu had no guests, and it was quiet upstairs and downstairs.
Tao Shuobai was about to go upstairs when he suddenly heard a sound.
I heard someone tiptoe down from upstairs, without turning on the lights, and opened the door on the first floor to the yard.The moonlight is still bright tonight, but the other party is a graceful young woman, wearing half-worn long-sleeved pajamas, covered with a dusty pink sweater, with a round face and fluffy hair, she went out the door Standing in the courtyard, he seemed very irritable, but he didn't dare to make a sound, and then he simply opened the courtyard door and came out.
This is the heroine of the story, Gu Manzhen!
Tao Shuobai could tell at a glance that there was something wrong with "Gu Manzhen", because there was a soul from another world living in his body, which was somewhat similar to Cheng Ping'an's reason.
In early spring, it was warm and cold, and the temperature was naturally low at night. Gu Manzhen was dressed thinly, and refused to go back to the house, only pacing back and forth at the door of the alley, which was quiet and deserted.
As Tao Shuobai said, she is no longer the original Gu Manzhen.
In the past two days, Gu Manzhen accidentally developed a fever and fell ill, and as a result, he became a different person in a daze.This otherworldly soul is a white-collar worker named Gu Zhenzhen. She is beautiful, educated, and highly paid, and is pursued diligently by the rich second generation. Her life is very fulfilling. As a result, the rich second generation shows up with a childhood sweetheart girlfriend and laughs at her for being greedy for money. There was an argument, a push caused her to roll down the stairs, and then...
As soon as she opened her eyes, she became Gu Manzhen, the bitter girl in "Half Life"!
At first I was anxious, bored, and hesitant, but when I unconsciously recalled the whole plot, my eyes suddenly brightened.Although Gu Manzhen's family is poor, she is beautiful and has a good job. The key is that she has already met Shen Shijun, the young master of the Shen family from Nanjing. Love, what is there to worry about in the future?
Thinking of the maker of Gu Manzhen's tragedy in this life - Gu Manlu, his eyes were filled with coldness.
If Gu Manlu hadn't designed her own sister viciously in order to tie down her husband Zhu Hongcai, causing Gu Manzhen to be raped by Zhu Hongcai, and coaxing Shen Shijun into saying that Manzhen married Zhang Mujin, Manzhen's love would not have been interrupted, and her life would have been a tragedy.Of course, Gu's mother also "indispensably contributes" to this, and even collaborated with the eldest daughter to design the second daughter. How could there be such a cruel mother in the world? !
I also thought that the situation of the Gu family since rebirth was slightly different from what I remembered, but one day it should be true, Gu Manlu will soon marry Zhu Hongcai.Hmph, such a vicious, cold, selfish sister should be rationed to a rascal!
Gu Zhenzhen quickly sorted out her thoughts and finalized her future plans and coping strategies. Only then did she feel that her body was soaking cold, and she trotted back to sleep.It's not that she is willing to come out to suffer from the cold, but that the Gu family has a large population and the housing is tight. The original customer, Gu Manzhen, slept in a room with her mother, and suddenly went to an unfamiliar place. She was afraid of being questioned by Gu's mother, so she deliberately hid Come out and rationalize your thoughts by the way.
Seeing the people closing the courtyard door and the sound of footsteps gradually disappearing, Tao Shuobai turned his eyes to the shadow outside the courtyard: "Come out."
There seemed to be something moving in the black shadow, twisted and twisted, like a cloud of smoke, or a cloud of fog, it took a long time to move out, and it was vaguely visible as a thin white figure.The shadow swayed, as if it would be blown away by the wind at any moment.
"You come with me for now." Tao Shuobai waved his hand, and the shadow floated towards him involuntarily, and fell straight into his palm.Tao Shuo was captured in vain, his body transformed into wind, and disappeared in the alley in an instant.
Uncle Mu has booked a hotel, it's a small suite with a bathroom, very convenient.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, Tao Shuobai showed his figure and came in from the hotel gate, and when he reached the room, he opened his hand, and Bai's shadow fell in the room.Tao Shuobai took out another porcelain bottle and poured out a pill, and directly popped it into Bai Ying's mouth. It was visible to the naked eye that the white shadow gradually became clear, it was actually Gu Manzhen!
Gu Manzhen was terrified, and backed up again and again until she was against the wall and could no longer hide.Despite encountering unimaginable things, Gu Manzhen was weak on the outside but strong on the inside, finally calmed down and asked, "Who are you? What's wrong with me?"
Gu Manzhen only remembered that he was sick, and he seemed to be slapped by something in a daze, and he seemed to fly instantly.When she became conscious, she discovered that there was another "Gu Manzhen" living in Gu's house, and she seemed to be a shadow, no one listened to her words, no one responded to her yelling, so she could only follow "Gu Manzhen" step by step. There was something she couldn't get too close to.
Tonight, I found a young man in a white shirt. No one seemed to be able to see him. I thought he was a "communist", but just after seeing the other party's methods, she knew that her guess was completely wrong.
But she knew that the other party could answer all her questions.
Sure enough, she guessed right this time.
"My name is Tao Shuobai." Tao Shuobai briefly introduced herself, and then talked about her situation: "There is a soul from another world, taking advantage of your weakness, robbing your body and rebirth. Strictly speaking In other words, your lifespan is not over. If you are left alone, you will wander in the world until your original lifespan is over. During this process, you are just a shadow that no one sees, living apart from all your relatives and friends. In a completely different world, your world is only you."
Gu Manzhen's lips trembled slightly, and he questioned for a while: "She, why did she pick me?"
There are more than tens of millions of people who get sick, weak or even die every moment in this world, why should they occupy her body?Although Gu Manzhen used to be an atheist, now he has to think about things from the perspective of ghosts.
"Opportunity."
Tao Shuobai felt that Gu Manzhen was really smart and strong, and the question hit the point. Although Gu Zhenzhen did not take Gu Manzhen's body subjectively, it was a fact.As the protagonist of a story, he carries a certain amount of luck on his body, but because Gu Manzhen's fate is very tragic, not enough luck, but more bad luck.In addition, Gu Zhenzhen was able to successfully possess the body and squeeze the original owner out of the body, which is not ordinary, I'm afraid there is something strange about Gu Zhenzhen.
Tao Shuobai didn't explain this point to Gu Manzhen, and it didn't help.
"I will find a way to deal with you, you'd better stay away from 'Gu Manzhen' temporarily." Tao Shuobai kindly reminded.
Gu Manzhen shook her head, her eyes full of worry: "She lives with my family, will she harm my family? I have to go back and watch."
Tao Shuobai didn't stop her and let her float away.
Gu Zhenzhen was lying in the simple and crowded room, unable to sleep at first, but probably because of taking the medicine, she gradually became sleepy and did not wake up until ten o'clock in the morning.Remembering that the original owner only took one day off, she decided to recuperate from her illness and go to work tomorrow, so she could see Shen Shijun then.
Seeing that she woke up, Mrs. Gu asked with concern: "Manzhen, how is it? Are you feeling better?"
"Yeah." Gu Zhenzhen was filled with anger when she thought that this woman had killed her own daughter. If she hadn't had to live here now, she wouldn't have given this woman a good look.
Her face was cold, but Mrs. Gu didn't think much about it, she just thought it was because she was sick and out of spirits, and said: "There is still hot porridge on the stove, you should eat a bowl of pad pad first, and you should have lunch later."
Gu Zhenzhen was indeed a little hungry, so she walked over to fill up the porridge on the stove, because it had been left for a long time, and it became very sticky, so she felt that it was not suitable for her appetite, and seeing that the side dish was only a small dish of salted cabbage, she felt even more uncomfortable. Tasteless in the mouth, breathless in the heart.Gu Zhenzhen secretly became ruthless, she must leave the Gu family as soon as possible!
The next day, Gu Zhenzhen took the tram to work as she remembered.
Gu Manzhen works as a clerk in the office of the factory, which is very simple for Gu Zhenzhen. Most of the time, she secretly observes Xu Shuhui who is in the same office.Xu Shuhui is a handsome young man, humorous and eloquent, he is the kind of man that girls like very much. Of course, if Xu's family is richer, this Xu Shuhui may really be a romantic son.
When it was time to get off work, Xu Shuhui left without waiting for Shen Shijun.Over the past few days, the three of them have become good friends, eating together in small restaurants every day, but today Xu Shuhui is not traveling because he lost a bet with someone and wants to treat someone to western food.
It was a little awkward and reserved for Shen Shijun to have a meal together, but it hit Gu Zhenzhen's heart.
Sitting in the small restaurant, Gu Zhenzhen looked generously at Shen Shijun in front of her. If she only focused on appearance, she would not be as outstanding as Xu Shuhui, but what is rare is Shen Shijun's calm and refined temperament, which can make people trust with just one look. And Shen Shijun's temperament is honest, and he was born in such a family without flamboyance, which is very rare.
Gu Zhenzhen evaluated it and was very satisfied.
However, Shen Shijun felt that today's Gu Manzhen was very abnormal, as if he had suddenly changed into a different person, staring at people so piercingly, even if he was a big man, he was very embarrassed.Shen Shijun lowered his head to avoid the other party's gaze, feeling strange, frowning, and inexplicable joy in his heart.
Shen Shiwei eased the atmosphere and brought up a topic: "I saw your brother that day."
Gu Zhenzhen was taken aback for a moment, and it took a while to remember that the original owner asked her younger brother Jiemin to go to Xu Shuhui's house to deliver the keys to the office drawer the day before yesterday, but she didn't have any good feelings for the Gu family, and she was determined to leave, so she didn't want to mention the Gu family. Not to mention facing Shen Shijun.
So, she just let out a faint "oh".
Shen Shijun didn't expect her to react so coldly, and was even more embarrassed for a while.
Gu Zhenzhen seemed to realize that her attitude was wrong. After thinking about it, she made a sad expression and said in a low voice: "You are talking about my little brother, Jiemin. Jiemin was spoiled by his family, and sometimes he would play tricks on outsiders." Temper, he didn't say anything inappropriate that day, did he?"
Gu Zhenzhen remembered that the two younger brothers of the Gu family in the story were not likable, plus she was prejudiced, so what she said was naturally dissatisfied and blamed.
Shen Shijun didn't think much about it, thinking that her family was well educated, he quickly shook his head and said, "No, don't think too much about it."
In fact, Gu Jiemin's attitude at that time was really not right, as if he and Shu Hui were enemies.
Gu Zhenzhen smiled and automatically talked about her family background: "Jiemin is my youngest brother. There are six sisters in our family, as well as a mother and grandmother. There are eight people in total. We used to live well. Since my father passed away when I was 14 years old, the family has disappeared. Life is much more difficult if you are a pillar of support. Fortunately, I am working now, and I can afford the financial support of my family, so it will not be as hard as it used to be."
Followed by Gu Manzhen all the time, blushing with anger, angry and guilty at the words of "Gu Manzhen" who distorted the facts.The Gu family was able to survive, and they all relied on their elder sister Manlu as a dancer to earn money to support the family, but from the mouth of "Gu Manzhen", it completely obliterated the existence of the elder sister, as if everything was supported by her.
Gu Manzhen was guilty and anxious, this person who came from nowhere occupied her body and acted mischievously, not only ruined her moral reputation, but also disliked her family, I was afraid that disaster would happen sooner or later.
Gu Manzhen couldn't help it, turned around and rushed towards the hotel where Tao Shuobai was.
There is the Prince Bin's mansion in Binzhou, but he doesn't like to live in it. He usually lives in Zhuangzi in the suburbs.This Zhuangzi includes several large and small hills nearby, hundreds of acres of fields, mountains and water, and pleasant scenery.There are still farmers tilling the fields, but on several mountains, he has planted peach trees. In spring, pink and tender peach blossoms are in full bloom all over the mountains and plains, just like a sea of fragrant snow.He rebuilt another villa on the mountainside, named it Taohuayuan, and after finishing everything, he sold Zhuangzi and several hilltops to Tao Shuobai for 100 taels of silver.
100 taels, if you really want to buy these hilltop villages, you don't even have a fraction, and even if you have money, there is no place to buy them.
Tao Shuobai took it calmly, lived in Zhuangzi instead of opening a shop, and instead studied how to deal with the evil spirit in his body, and at the same time, brewed wine in his spare time.Tao Shuobai is quite talented in wine making, and can get excellent wine making recipes, so the peach blossom wine he brewed is very famous, and was later designated as a tribute wine by the court.
Zhu Changxu was a little cautious and never mentioned the matter of opening a wine shop. Except for the tribute to the court and occasional rewards to subordinates during the New Year, the rest of the brewed wine was marked with the year and buried under the peach tree.Zhu Changxu practiced the exercises taught by Tao Shuobai, and it was said that he could live a hundred years in good health. He thought that these wines would become more fragrant as they were stored. Guests to celebrate.
At that time, what did he and Tao Shuobai look like?
The nineteenth day of the first lunar month is Zhu Changxu's birthday, and today is Zhu Changxu's [-]th birthday.
Since the age of 50, Zhu Changxu has not shown his face outside, and all affairs of the fiefdom of Binzhou are handled by the eldest son Zhu Youzhen.Zhu Youchun was the son of Cheng Ping'an, and he was adopted by King Bin as his heir at birth. He became a feudal clan at the age of 20, and he is now in his seventies.The emperor in the middle of the court has changed two terms, and he is very courteous and preferential treatment for this uncle who is far away in Binzhou, who lives peacefully and lives a long life. , I was unable to leave the fief without permission because the vassal king, but I asked for instructions from Zhezi, and sent the prince to celebrate his birthday.The emperor not only agreed, but also specially asked the prince to come here on behalf of the emperor, making a full gesture.
The banquet in the palace was lavish and the stage was lively, but these princes and grandchildren had to go to the Peach Blossom Spring outside the city to celebrate their birthdays. On such a big day like today, Shou Xinggong did not come back at all.
Headed by the crown prince, everyone entered the gate of Zhuangzi, and everyone was silent. After worshiping, they didn't even get a cup of birthday tea, so they were sent out one after another.These people looked at each other after they came out, and they were inexplicably surprised. Their old uncle and grandpa were clearly a hundred years old, but apart from the white hair, his face was like a handsome middle-aged man. Precipitated secrets.
It seems that the rumors that the old uncle and grandpa are successful in learning Taoism are indeed true.
At this moment, Zhu Changxu was both proud and disappointed, holding a mirror to keep looking at him, and said with his lips curled up, "Tsk, I'm getting old."
The face of the other person was reflected in the mirror. Decades later, it was still black-haired and jade-faced, clear and bright.
Zhu Changxu looked at him with warm eyes, but also very reluctant.Although he learned the exercises to prolong his life, and even took the elixir to keep his face beautiful, but after all, he was a mortal, and if he dragged on, he would only be left with an old crane skin, so what's the fun.
Tao Shuobai walked up to him: "We will see you again."
Zhu Changxu smiled: "Oh, you said the next life? It's a pity that I don't remember you at that time."
"I will remember one day." Tao Shuobai spent decades, and finally figured out the reason for the formation of evil energy in his body.
Zhu Changxu is indeed an immortal in the upper realm, fearing that he encountered a demon for some reason, he had no choice but to go down to the earth to seek relief. During this process, the memory of the immortal was sealed.Since he has a predestined relationship with it, presumably there is a reason for it, and because the evil spirit is extremely yin, and he himself is extremely yang, in this life, he has been together day and night for decades, and the breath blends, and the evil spirit becomes very quiet and obedient, but how to resolve it, It seems that the opportunity cannot be seen.
Zhu Changxu did practice Taoism in this life, and Tao Shuobai was there to remind him, so his comprehension is very good.Now he has vaguely glimpsed some clues, fully aware that ordinary manpower is not enough, and he is full of hope for Tao Shuobai's so-called reunion in the next life.
That night, Zhu Changxu said to him: "Shuobai, I haven't drunk the peach blossom wine for decades, it's a pity..."
Tao Shuo felt something in his heart, and when he turned his head to look, Zhu Changxu had lost his breath.
Tao Shuobai calmly called Zhu Youchun to take care of the funeral. He came to the back mountain alone, put all the old wine buried in the cellar into storage bags, and then called back Uncle Mu and other four people to start the teleportation formation.When Zhu Youchun came to look for him, he saw that white figure disappearing into a ray of white light.
After the shock, Zhu Youchun remembered what his mother told him.
Mother once said, don't resent him for adopting him to King Bin, because Mr. Tao is not a mortal.In the past, he never blamed his father, queen and queen. Although he was disappointed, he also felt that it was not easy to be an emperor, but he felt comfortable being a vassal king, but it was only today that he understood the true meaning of what his mother said.
Now he is 75 years old, but he is in good health, has hearing and eyesight, and walks like the wind. His brothers of the same generation are long gone, and even his nephews and nephews have never had his youthful spirit.What do people want in life?Safe and smooth, his wife is virtuous and his son is filial. It really is a good fortune that his mother painstakingly planned for him.
It was the first time for Tao Shuobai to stay in the mortal world for 80 years. Even though these few short decades were just a short span of time in his long life, the days with Zhu Changxuan's company were very different. When he returned to the underworld again, he felt Very lonely.
Tao Shuobai didn't stay long, left two altars of peach blossom wine for Zhong Kui, and entered the teleportation array again.
Before I could see the scene in front of me clearly, I heard the continuous beeping sound from the bronze mirror—"Friendly reminder! Friendly reminder! This small world is from the period of the Republic of China, please pay attention to the appearance of the staff."
Immediately afterwards, a promotional advertisement popped up: the mall's clothing is changing seasons, discounts and promotions, handmade suits, robes, cheongsams in the Republic of China...
Before the quotation sound came out from inside, Tao Shuobai decisively clicked off.Then I began to look at the original plot, "Half Life", the background of the story was in the Republic of China, old Shanghai in the 30s, a love story between several young men and women that ended in sadness.
Tao Shuobai hurriedly scanned the original plot, and then looked at the current progress, but saw that not long after the plot officially started, the female lead Gu Manzhen fell ill for the first time.According to experience, there must be a change at this stage, and the biggest possibility is that there is something wrong with the sick Gu Manzhen.
I clicked on the mall again, and looked at the dress code of this era. With a thought, the brocade robe on my body changed into a well-tailored white suit, and my long hair turned into short hair. I looked at it in a mirror, and there was nothing inappropriate, just not. I am very comfortable, especially the leather shoes on my feet, I always feel a little bit.
After thinking about it again, the suit was turned into a long gown, which is slightly different from the previous long gown, and more suitable for the conditions of the Republic of China. The simple white robe and a pair of black cloth shoes on the feet.In the end, he released the four of Uncle Mu and had to buy some clothes for them in the mall. After all, he was wearing a magic robe, and he could change styles as he wished. Uncle Mu was a discounted puppet, but there was no such configuration .After a lot of effort, Uncle Mu had several facelifts, and he looked like he came from an old-fashioned family. Uncle Mu wore a gray-blue gown, while Mu Shan wore a double-breasted jacket. Floral gown and wide-leg trousers, servants are dressed like this nowadays, and they do things neatly.
Tao Shuobai has silver, gold, and jade antiques, but he has no silver dollars, so he has to go to the pawn shop again.
After visiting three pawnshops and getting enough silver dollars, I decided to find a place to stay.Tao Shuobai didn't bother, and planned to open another Taoji paper goods shop. No matter what age, people always die, and this kind of shop always has no worries about customers.As for the household registration status, he asked Uncle Mu to handle it. It is not necessary to apply for a Shanghai household registration, but to hang in the countryside of Nanjing.
After assigning the matter to Uncle Mu and the others, Tao Shuobai went to Gu's house in stealth.
Enter along an alley, and the courtyard No. [-] is the Gu family.The courtyard is not big, it has two floors, Gu Manlu lives downstairs, Mrs. Gu, Mrs. Gu, the hostess Gu Manzhen and her two younger brothers live upstairs.There are eight members in the Gu family. Since Gu's father passed away, the burden of the family has fallen on the shoulders of the eldest daughter, Gu Manlu. In order to support the family and help her younger siblings to study, Gu Manlu and her childhood sweetheart fiance Zhang Mujin divorced and went to sea to become a dancer.Later, a Mr. Wang who ate at the stock exchange took care of her and gave her this house. Gu Manlu retired to the house and became a second-way courtesan. Mr. Wang often brought a few people to sit and sit.
It was already late at this time, Gu Manlu had no guests, and it was quiet upstairs and downstairs.
Tao Shuobai was about to go upstairs when he suddenly heard a sound.
I heard someone tiptoe down from upstairs, without turning on the lights, and opened the door on the first floor to the yard.The moonlight is still bright tonight, but the other party is a graceful young woman, wearing half-worn long-sleeved pajamas, covered with a dusty pink sweater, with a round face and fluffy hair, she went out the door Standing in the courtyard, he seemed very irritable, but he didn't dare to make a sound, and then he simply opened the courtyard door and came out.
This is the heroine of the story, Gu Manzhen!
Tao Shuobai could tell at a glance that there was something wrong with "Gu Manzhen", because there was a soul from another world living in his body, which was somewhat similar to Cheng Ping'an's reason.
In early spring, it was warm and cold, and the temperature was naturally low at night. Gu Manzhen was dressed thinly, and refused to go back to the house, only pacing back and forth at the door of the alley, which was quiet and deserted.
As Tao Shuobai said, she is no longer the original Gu Manzhen.
In the past two days, Gu Manzhen accidentally developed a fever and fell ill, and as a result, he became a different person in a daze.This otherworldly soul is a white-collar worker named Gu Zhenzhen. She is beautiful, educated, and highly paid, and is pursued diligently by the rich second generation. Her life is very fulfilling. As a result, the rich second generation shows up with a childhood sweetheart girlfriend and laughs at her for being greedy for money. There was an argument, a push caused her to roll down the stairs, and then...
As soon as she opened her eyes, she became Gu Manzhen, the bitter girl in "Half Life"!
At first I was anxious, bored, and hesitant, but when I unconsciously recalled the whole plot, my eyes suddenly brightened.Although Gu Manzhen's family is poor, she is beautiful and has a good job. The key is that she has already met Shen Shijun, the young master of the Shen family from Nanjing. Love, what is there to worry about in the future?
Thinking of the maker of Gu Manzhen's tragedy in this life - Gu Manlu, his eyes were filled with coldness.
If Gu Manlu hadn't designed her own sister viciously in order to tie down her husband Zhu Hongcai, causing Gu Manzhen to be raped by Zhu Hongcai, and coaxing Shen Shijun into saying that Manzhen married Zhang Mujin, Manzhen's love would not have been interrupted, and her life would have been a tragedy.Of course, Gu's mother also "indispensably contributes" to this, and even collaborated with the eldest daughter to design the second daughter. How could there be such a cruel mother in the world? !
I also thought that the situation of the Gu family since rebirth was slightly different from what I remembered, but one day it should be true, Gu Manlu will soon marry Zhu Hongcai.Hmph, such a vicious, cold, selfish sister should be rationed to a rascal!
Gu Zhenzhen quickly sorted out her thoughts and finalized her future plans and coping strategies. Only then did she feel that her body was soaking cold, and she trotted back to sleep.It's not that she is willing to come out to suffer from the cold, but that the Gu family has a large population and the housing is tight. The original customer, Gu Manzhen, slept in a room with her mother, and suddenly went to an unfamiliar place. She was afraid of being questioned by Gu's mother, so she deliberately hid Come out and rationalize your thoughts by the way.
Seeing the people closing the courtyard door and the sound of footsteps gradually disappearing, Tao Shuobai turned his eyes to the shadow outside the courtyard: "Come out."
There seemed to be something moving in the black shadow, twisted and twisted, like a cloud of smoke, or a cloud of fog, it took a long time to move out, and it was vaguely visible as a thin white figure.The shadow swayed, as if it would be blown away by the wind at any moment.
"You come with me for now." Tao Shuobai waved his hand, and the shadow floated towards him involuntarily, and fell straight into his palm.Tao Shuo was captured in vain, his body transformed into wind, and disappeared in the alley in an instant.
Uncle Mu has booked a hotel, it's a small suite with a bathroom, very convenient.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, Tao Shuobai showed his figure and came in from the hotel gate, and when he reached the room, he opened his hand, and Bai's shadow fell in the room.Tao Shuobai took out another porcelain bottle and poured out a pill, and directly popped it into Bai Ying's mouth. It was visible to the naked eye that the white shadow gradually became clear, it was actually Gu Manzhen!
Gu Manzhen was terrified, and backed up again and again until she was against the wall and could no longer hide.Despite encountering unimaginable things, Gu Manzhen was weak on the outside but strong on the inside, finally calmed down and asked, "Who are you? What's wrong with me?"
Gu Manzhen only remembered that he was sick, and he seemed to be slapped by something in a daze, and he seemed to fly instantly.When she became conscious, she discovered that there was another "Gu Manzhen" living in Gu's house, and she seemed to be a shadow, no one listened to her words, no one responded to her yelling, so she could only follow "Gu Manzhen" step by step. There was something she couldn't get too close to.
Tonight, I found a young man in a white shirt. No one seemed to be able to see him. I thought he was a "communist", but just after seeing the other party's methods, she knew that her guess was completely wrong.
But she knew that the other party could answer all her questions.
Sure enough, she guessed right this time.
"My name is Tao Shuobai." Tao Shuobai briefly introduced herself, and then talked about her situation: "There is a soul from another world, taking advantage of your weakness, robbing your body and rebirth. Strictly speaking In other words, your lifespan is not over. If you are left alone, you will wander in the world until your original lifespan is over. During this process, you are just a shadow that no one sees, living apart from all your relatives and friends. In a completely different world, your world is only you."
Gu Manzhen's lips trembled slightly, and he questioned for a while: "She, why did she pick me?"
There are more than tens of millions of people who get sick, weak or even die every moment in this world, why should they occupy her body?Although Gu Manzhen used to be an atheist, now he has to think about things from the perspective of ghosts.
"Opportunity."
Tao Shuobai felt that Gu Manzhen was really smart and strong, and the question hit the point. Although Gu Zhenzhen did not take Gu Manzhen's body subjectively, it was a fact.As the protagonist of a story, he carries a certain amount of luck on his body, but because Gu Manzhen's fate is very tragic, not enough luck, but more bad luck.In addition, Gu Zhenzhen was able to successfully possess the body and squeeze the original owner out of the body, which is not ordinary, I'm afraid there is something strange about Gu Zhenzhen.
Tao Shuobai didn't explain this point to Gu Manzhen, and it didn't help.
"I will find a way to deal with you, you'd better stay away from 'Gu Manzhen' temporarily." Tao Shuobai kindly reminded.
Gu Manzhen shook her head, her eyes full of worry: "She lives with my family, will she harm my family? I have to go back and watch."
Tao Shuobai didn't stop her and let her float away.
Gu Zhenzhen was lying in the simple and crowded room, unable to sleep at first, but probably because of taking the medicine, she gradually became sleepy and did not wake up until ten o'clock in the morning.Remembering that the original owner only took one day off, she decided to recuperate from her illness and go to work tomorrow, so she could see Shen Shijun then.
Seeing that she woke up, Mrs. Gu asked with concern: "Manzhen, how is it? Are you feeling better?"
"Yeah." Gu Zhenzhen was filled with anger when she thought that this woman had killed her own daughter. If she hadn't had to live here now, she wouldn't have given this woman a good look.
Her face was cold, but Mrs. Gu didn't think much about it, she just thought it was because she was sick and out of spirits, and said: "There is still hot porridge on the stove, you should eat a bowl of pad pad first, and you should have lunch later."
Gu Zhenzhen was indeed a little hungry, so she walked over to fill up the porridge on the stove, because it had been left for a long time, and it became very sticky, so she felt that it was not suitable for her appetite, and seeing that the side dish was only a small dish of salted cabbage, she felt even more uncomfortable. Tasteless in the mouth, breathless in the heart.Gu Zhenzhen secretly became ruthless, she must leave the Gu family as soon as possible!
The next day, Gu Zhenzhen took the tram to work as she remembered.
Gu Manzhen works as a clerk in the office of the factory, which is very simple for Gu Zhenzhen. Most of the time, she secretly observes Xu Shuhui who is in the same office.Xu Shuhui is a handsome young man, humorous and eloquent, he is the kind of man that girls like very much. Of course, if Xu's family is richer, this Xu Shuhui may really be a romantic son.
When it was time to get off work, Xu Shuhui left without waiting for Shen Shijun.Over the past few days, the three of them have become good friends, eating together in small restaurants every day, but today Xu Shuhui is not traveling because he lost a bet with someone and wants to treat someone to western food.
It was a little awkward and reserved for Shen Shijun to have a meal together, but it hit Gu Zhenzhen's heart.
Sitting in the small restaurant, Gu Zhenzhen looked generously at Shen Shijun in front of her. If she only focused on appearance, she would not be as outstanding as Xu Shuhui, but what is rare is Shen Shijun's calm and refined temperament, which can make people trust with just one look. And Shen Shijun's temperament is honest, and he was born in such a family without flamboyance, which is very rare.
Gu Zhenzhen evaluated it and was very satisfied.
However, Shen Shijun felt that today's Gu Manzhen was very abnormal, as if he had suddenly changed into a different person, staring at people so piercingly, even if he was a big man, he was very embarrassed.Shen Shijun lowered his head to avoid the other party's gaze, feeling strange, frowning, and inexplicable joy in his heart.
Shen Shiwei eased the atmosphere and brought up a topic: "I saw your brother that day."
Gu Zhenzhen was taken aback for a moment, and it took a while to remember that the original owner asked her younger brother Jiemin to go to Xu Shuhui's house to deliver the keys to the office drawer the day before yesterday, but she didn't have any good feelings for the Gu family, and she was determined to leave, so she didn't want to mention the Gu family. Not to mention facing Shen Shijun.
So, she just let out a faint "oh".
Shen Shijun didn't expect her to react so coldly, and was even more embarrassed for a while.
Gu Zhenzhen seemed to realize that her attitude was wrong. After thinking about it, she made a sad expression and said in a low voice: "You are talking about my little brother, Jiemin. Jiemin was spoiled by his family, and sometimes he would play tricks on outsiders." Temper, he didn't say anything inappropriate that day, did he?"
Gu Zhenzhen remembered that the two younger brothers of the Gu family in the story were not likable, plus she was prejudiced, so what she said was naturally dissatisfied and blamed.
Shen Shijun didn't think much about it, thinking that her family was well educated, he quickly shook his head and said, "No, don't think too much about it."
In fact, Gu Jiemin's attitude at that time was really not right, as if he and Shu Hui were enemies.
Gu Zhenzhen smiled and automatically talked about her family background: "Jiemin is my youngest brother. There are six sisters in our family, as well as a mother and grandmother. There are eight people in total. We used to live well. Since my father passed away when I was 14 years old, the family has disappeared. Life is much more difficult if you are a pillar of support. Fortunately, I am working now, and I can afford the financial support of my family, so it will not be as hard as it used to be."
Followed by Gu Manzhen all the time, blushing with anger, angry and guilty at the words of "Gu Manzhen" who distorted the facts.The Gu family was able to survive, and they all relied on their elder sister Manlu as a dancer to earn money to support the family, but from the mouth of "Gu Manzhen", it completely obliterated the existence of the elder sister, as if everything was supported by her.
Gu Manzhen was guilty and anxious, this person who came from nowhere occupied her body and acted mischievously, not only ruined her moral reputation, but also disliked her family, I was afraid that disaster would happen sooner or later.
Gu Manzhen couldn't help it, turned around and rushed towards the hotel where Tao Shuobai was.
