The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 1

[Chapter 1 Queuing up to jump into the lake]

“Master…”

A soft call brought Fang Xiu back to reality from his trance.

He looked around, feeling a little confused.

Busy streets, row upon row of shops, and… pedestrians in ancient costumes.

I probably, maybe, really traveled through time.

“Master, what’s wrong with you?”

A guy in green clothes and a small hat stood aside, with a disgustingly flattering smile.

Bai Xiaochun.

Uncle Anping’s favorite domestic slave.

The dog-legged one among the dog-legged ones.

Perhaps due to the fusion of memories from his previous life, Fang Xiu didn’t feel disgusted with him. He waved his hand and asked, “Where are you?”

Bai Xiaochun bowed, lowered his head and said, “Young master, in front of you is the Zuihua Pavilion.”

Zuihua Pavilion .

It is a restaurant in Kyoto, with mountains and water nearby.

Even in the most prosperous capital of Chu State, it is unique.

Fang Xiu came here to attend a banquet, a banquet held for him.

Thinking of the reason for coming here, he became even more depressed.

In his previous life, he was born in an orphanage and worked hard to get a master’s degree in Chinese language and literature from 985 University.

While studying, he also obtained a master’s degree in history.

Even if you don’t have a good career in the future, staying in school and becoming a lecturer can still be regarded as a decent job.

But when I woke up, I was inexplicably transported to ancient times.

It’s still bullshit Chu that he has never even heard of with a master’s degree in history!

Of course, this Chu State is not one of the seven heroes of the Warring States Period in the previous life, but a dynasty similar to the Tang, Song, Ming and Qing dynasties.

Although he is a noble son, how can he compare with the carefree and happy life of modern life…

In the past two days, he has seen a lot.

Even if you can’t go back to the past, it’s not bad to have a lovely wife and a beautiful family, and to be a comfortable dandy living a muddle-headed life.

But the thief God just made another joke on him.

News spread from the palace that the current emperor actually wanted to marry his youngest daughter, Princess Anle, to him!

joke!

Throughout the ages, which noble son is willing to marry a princess.

The prince-in-law actually works as an ox and a horse for the princess.

Let’s not talk about Princess Anle’s appearance and personality…

Just the name Prince Consort makes her face look dull when she talks about it.

Therefore, when the news was first received, the entire Anping Mansion was in chaos.

Especially ‘Fang Xiu’, when he thought about the dark life after marrying the princess, he fainted under the stimulation.

When he woke up again, it was Fang Xiu and Li Daitao who were already dead on earth.

“Hey…”

Fang Xiu sighed.

When those friends heard the news, they specially held a banquet at Zuihua Pavilion, the top restaurant in Kyoto.

It was said to be congratulations, but in fact it was mostly a joke.

He wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he came to the banquet.

There are not many happy and happy days left, so let’s think of today as the last indulgence before marrying the princess.

Fang Xiu shook his head, swept away the gloom in his heart, and walked towards Zuihua Pavilion.

Plop –

At this time, the sound of falling water suddenly came from the lake not far from Zuihua Pavilion.

“Miss Wanqing has fallen into the water, please save her!”

On the boat in the center of the lake, a middle-aged woman with heavy makeup shouted in horror.

Gudu –

The woman who fell into the water did not struggle and sank straight to the bottom of the lake.

After hearing the news, the surrounding tourists came over and pointed at the place where the woman fell into the water.

They shook their heads, but no one jumped into the water to save others.

“Didn’t you see someone jumping into the lake? What are you doing? Save people quickly!”

More and more people were watching the excitement. Many people were just shouting to save people, but they stood still.

The one who yelled the loudest was standing on the left side of Fang Xiu, looking at Fang Xiu with his eyes, showing contempt from time to time.

Fang Xiu glared at him.

You screamed happily, why didn’t you jump down?

“There is someone who looks like a decent person, but when something really happens, he becomes a coward. Fortunately, he brings so many guards.

Alas, the world is really cold…”

The man seemed to be sighing casually, but his eyes were glanced at Fang Xiu from time to time. , it is self-evident who he refers to.

Fang Xiu took a deep breath.

Feelings: This guy is a hater of the rich, looking for trouble!

Bai Xiaochun watched Fang Xiu’s expression and said angrily: “You son of a bitch, why are you just talking and not doing anything?”

The man waved the folding fan gently in his hand: “The next scholar has no hands…”

Before he could finish his words, he was kicked by Bai Xiaochun to the edge of the lake.

“No shit, don’t jump, I’ll help you!”

Thump –

done, Bai Xiaochun clapped his hands, returned to Fang Xiu, and said flatteringly: “Master, do you think?”

This boy knows how to do things.

No wonder the one before took him with him wherever he went.

Fang Xiu nodded lightly: “It was done well.”

Then he took off the jade pendant from his waist, handed it to Bai Xiaochun, and said, “Take it.”

Bai Xiaochun thought it was a reward from Fang Xiu, and said with sincerity and fear: “I am doing things for the young master. How can I dare to ask for a reward for the blessings I have accumulated in my previous life, no, a hundred lifetimes…”

Plop –

Who would have thought, before he finished flattering him, the sound of falling water came from the lake again.

In shock, he quickly looked up and saw that it was his young master!

“Master, you must not do this!”

Bai Xiaochun didn’t have time to think, stuffed the jade pendant into his arms, and without saying a word, jumped into the lake.

“Master, Xiaochun is here!”

Seeing their young master and the young general manager jumping into the lake together, the Fang Mansion guards standing on the lake shore looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

After a while, one of the younger guards hesitated slightly and jumped into the lake immediately after him.

If someone takes the lead, it would be a dereliction of duty for the rest to not jump in.

After returning home, if the chief manager asks about it, no one will be able to escape responsibility.

The remaining guards looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and jumped off the lakeside together.

Crash –

for a while, the sound of falling water continued.

There are waves on the lake.

Everyone at the lakeside was left exclaiming: “What’s going on today? We have to line up to jump into the lake?”

…

Fang Xiu never thought that jumping into the lake by himself could cause such a stir.

His original intention was just to save the woman who fell into the water.

Life is only a short moment.

Why can’t you think about it?

He was chosen by the emperor to be that bullshit prince-in-law. He was very open-minded about the difference…

well, although he wasn’t very open-minded about it, he never thought about seeking death.

This woman jumped into the lake on impulse.

Now that he saw it, he couldn’t just sit back and watch, otherwise his conscience would be uneasy.

Fang Xiu’s water quality is very good, and the lake is much shallower than expected. The water depth is only about eight feet.

With his height of nearly 1.8 meters, he could barely stand firm in the lake.

After struggling to swim to the center of the lake, he fished the woman out of the water, held her in his arms, and stepped on the bottom of the lake to get closer to the shore step by step.

The woman lay motionless in his arms, one arm hanging down, swaying in the void.

Everyone on the shore was shocked when they saw it.

Many tourists began to whisper to each other.

Could this woman have been drowned?
