Back To The Beginning Of Ming To Do Charity CH 121 Only Heaven Knows And Earth Knows

Lin Yuan forgot where he saw it. He remembered that a professor said that the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty’s three reigns (TN: Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong) was achieved by confining oneself. Such prosperity could not last, because people’s thinking had not progressed, and their thinking was restricted. Economic development was just an illusion.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Therefore, Lin Yuan did not control the people’s thinking in Gaoyou. He didn’t know whether the final result of letting it develop was good or bad, but it was only in Gaoyou. Gaoyou’s economy was the most developed. Economic development would promote the development of people’s thinking. Whereas there was no similar soil for the growth of ideas in other places.

Even if Gaoyou really had a problem, it would be easy for him to change it back to the right path.

At this time, Lin Yuan had already settled in Hanyang City. It had been half a month since they started the war with Hanyang.

Ni Wenjun had consumed a lot of Hanyang’s forces. It was now indeed much more convenient for Chen Baisong and Zhu Yuanzhang to fight against them.

As for Ni Wenjun, Lin Yuan had already sent Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Congrong to pursue and surround him, the goal being to kill Ni Wenjun and let none of his soldiers escape.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Congrong were indeed quite covetuous of Ni Wenjun’s soldiers.

After they chased out in pursuit, only Chen Baisong and Lin Yuan were left in Hanyang. Lin Yuan locked Xu Shouhui and his important officials together. As for the small and minor officials, they were all smart people and knew what choice was left to them. Lin Yuan now controlled all of Hanyang’s main roads, and those who patrolled the city walls were also his people.

Unless these people didn’t want their heads anymore, they wouldn’t bet on their lives.

“Xu Shouhui said he wants to see me?” Lin Yuan finally finished cleaning up. He had recently been on the march with his army the whole time and had no chance to take a bath. He felt like he was close to spoiling so the first thing he did after handling all the affairs that needed to be handled was to have people boil water and run a bath for him.

But as soon as he came out, while still drying his hair, he heard a soldier reporting the news to Chen Baisong.

Lin Yuan only wore a single robe and dried his long hair with a coarse cloth.

Both his chest and arms were exposed, and as Lin Yuan basically worked indoors and didn’t go out very often, his skin was whiter than that of ordinary people.

Chen Baisong’s gaze was fixed on Lin Yuan, but he suddenly realized something and turned his head to say to the soldier, “Retreat.”

The soldier hurriedly retreated.

Chen Baisong’s Adam’s apple moved: “Why did you come out wearing this?”

Lin Yuan said strangely: “What am I wearing? It’s quite normal. It’s not like there are women here, so it’s fine.”

There were only men, and it didn’t matter even if he was naked.

Chen Baisong was speechless. If he said too much then he would come across as the strange one. He could only keep his mouth shut, and planned in the future to wait outside and serve Lin Yuan in dressing when Lin Yuan took a bath.

So as to avoid letting outsiders see.

Lin Yuan didn’t notice Chen Baisong’s abnormality either. He sat on the kang (heatable brick bed) on the side which had a cushion on it. He found a comfortable position, with his legs propped up, completely uncaring of his image: “What else can Xu Shouhui say to me now? Negotiating terms?”

Chen Baisong poured tea for Lin Yuan: “The cunning rabbit digs three holes, he should still have something worthy of discussion since he had at least been an emperor.”

For Xu Shouhui, being the emperor was practically not even better off than not being one. He not only had no freedom, but also no real power nor dignity.

People called him Your Majesty, but only he could know how he felt about his situation.

Lin Yuan: “Then I will go see him. Call someone in to help me tie my hair.”

Chen Baisong stood behind Lin Yuan with a comb in his hand. Lin Yuan smiled and said, “When did you learn this?”

Lin Yuan really wanted to cut his long hair into short lengths, but while the ancient people could cut their hair, they couldn’t cut too much, and only trimmed it a bit when needed. If it was really cut too much, some people would jump out and lecture about how the body, including hair and skin, was received from one’s parents and should be respected.

Chen Baisong’s hands were large, with rough palms that had thick calluses on them, but they were not clumsy at all. He held Lin Yuan’s long hair under the flickering candlelight in the room. Chen Baisong’s eyelashes were lowered, and ran the comb over the long hair to get the knots out.

Lin Yuan’s eyes were closed as he sat there, eventually slipping down to lay in Chen Baisong’s lap. Lin Yuan closed his eyes and said, “If you don’t fight battles in the future, have you ever thought about what you will do? Guarding the frontier, maybe?”

Chen Baisong: “I will stay by Young Master’s side, and I will do whatever Young Master wants me to do.”

Staying by his side? Lin Yuan didn’t open his eyes. He didn’t know if it was Chen Baisong’s own intention or someone had taught him.

Once a general stayed by the emperor’s side, either he had overwhelming power, or he had handed over his power and was kept a watch on by the emperor.

Lin Yuan said: “It depends on the situation then, it’s not that you can be wherever I want you to be.”

Lin Yuan took a deep breath: “Help me massage my head. I have a headache during this period, don’t use too much strength.”

Chen Baisong had become a little massager. He was not a professional, the strength he put in the massage going back and forth between being too weak or too strong. In the end, Lin Yuan could only teach him personally: “You lie down, I’ll massage it for you, so make sure you learn sincerely.”

So Chen Baisong lay down, feeling overwhelmed with favor and also nervousness, with his head resting on Lin Yuan’s legs. He could only hear a loud and strong heartbeat in his ears, and he could see Lin Yuan’s brows and eyes when he looked up.

It seemed as if this was the first time he knew Lin Yuan.

Chen Baisong quickly closed his eyes. He felt that if he looked at Lin Yuan again, he would definitely expose something.

Even now he himself did not know what this thing that might be exposed was.

Chen Baisong didn’t feel how Lin Yuan massaged him at all. He only heard Lin Yuan ask him in a soft voice, “Have you memorized it? It’s this level of strength, just massage here.”

Then Chen Baisong didn’t remember anything at all. When he opened his eyes, he could only see Lin Yuan’s opening and closing lips. Lin Yuan’s lips were very thin and the lip color was very light. Chen Baisong could only feel his mouth continuously salivating.

Lin Yuan looked down at Chen Baisong: “Why is the look in your eyes like this? Like I am a piece of braised pork.”

Chen Baisong quickly closed his eyes.

Lin Yuan was amused by Chen Baisong’s appearance of deceiving himself: “It’s not like I said anything.”

He also discovered that Chen Baisong’s ears were red, so he shifted his hand and squeezed it: “Your ears are red, and they are a little hot. You have gotten tan recently, and the blush can only be seen on your ears.”

Chen Baisong couldn’t control his mouth at all now. He didn’t know what he was going to say or what he was saying. His mind was blank, and he couldn’t say a word after opening his mouth several times.

Lin Yuan: “I know, the two of us haven’t been close for a long time…..”

Chen Baisong heard the word “close” and now his eyes were a little red as well.

Lin Yuan said in a nostalgic tone: “When we were young, we always slept on the same bed, and even competed on who peed the farthest.”

Too much time had passed after Lin Yuan transmigrated over, and it had been a long time since his own memory merged with the memory of the original body. Sometimes he would become confused, wondering which was something he did and which was not.

Chen Baisong’s eyes dimmed, and it was obvious that what Lin Yuan said was not the same as what he had hoped.

Lin Yuan: “Forget it.”

Chen Baisong was startled, not knowing what Lin Yuan was talking about.

Lin Yuan: “I won’t go to see Xu Shouhui tonight. Anyway, he has been waiting for this long already, and a day or two more won’t make a difference.”

Chen Baisong calmed down. Lin Yuan didn’t give him a massage anymore and lay down on his side instead. He smiled: “Fortunately, my hair has yet to be tied up.”

“There are now 60,000 prisoners, which is a real number.” Chen Baisong saw that Lin Yuan was not ready to speak any more, and racked his brains to come up with an official business that could be talked about.

Lin Yuan nodded: “More than I thought.”

Chen Baisong said: “Ni Wenjun still has a hundred thousand people with him. If narrowed down to true numbers, there are still fifty to sixty thousand.”

In addition to the number of false reports, there were also people who were seriously injured, who were sick, and who were unable to go on the battlefield and had no fighting capacity.

These people had no impact on the battlefield except to make the numbers appear impressive on the battlefield.

Everyone knew this, but they still used this anyway.

In the battle between the two armies, sometimes the important thing was the momentum and intimidation. It had a similar reason to animals roaring before fighting.

Whoever had a louder voice was more powerful.

When the weaker side saw that the situation was wrong, they lost before even fighting. Compared with fighting, they would first want to retreat.

Lin Yuan’s army was not like that. He knew that once the old, weak, sick and disabled went on the battlefield, there was basically no chance of surviving.

What was more, if they did not win on the momentum then when the fight really started it would be a complete defeat, and the military’s confidence would be dissipated at that time.

Lin Yuan glanced at Chen Baisong, inexplicably thinking that Chen Baisong’s silly and dazed look was a little cute. He stretched out his hand and squeezed Chen Baisong’s face, saying with a sigh, “You sleep out in the wilds under the sun and in the wind, yet why is your skin better than mine?”

Chen Baisong: “?”

Although Lin Yuan was not an exquisite boy before transmigrating over, he still used facial cleanser. When the weather was dry, he would also buy a moisturizer. After transmigrating over, his skin would also be dry. When the season changed, his face would even peel as well as itch. So Lin Yuan envied Chen Baisong’s skin.

Chen Baisong didn’t feel it at all.

Lin Yuan asked him: “Why don’t you marry a wife? Big brother has already married, and second brother feels that the world is not peaceful enough for marriage, and third brother has long ago had a wife and children.”

Chen Baisong: “…..I never thought about it.”

Lin Yuan: “If you fall in love with a girl in the future, I will help you propose the marriage, and I will help you prepare the betrothal gifts for your marriage.”

Chen Baisong stood up suddenly, with no expression on his face: “I’m going to fetch you water, and the tea also need to be changed.”

Looking at Chen Baisong’s back, Lin Yuan clearly felt the change in Chen Baisong’s mood.

But he did not understand why Chen Baisong was unhappy.

Because he mentioned the matter of marriage? But getting married was a good thing, and it was reasonable for him to help his nanny brother on this.

Lin Yuan sat on the kang and thought for a while.

Could it be…..that Chen Baisong had some kind of hidden illness? That was why he didn’t want to talk about getting married?

When Chen Baisong returned to the room, he saw Lin Yuan looking at him unblinkingly, with indescribable understanding and sympathy in his eyes.

Chen Baisong put the basin down in front of Lin Yuan, and rolled up his sleeves to help Lin Yuan wash his feet.

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.

Chen Baisong: “Put your feet down.”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Lin Yuan patted Chen Baisong on the shoulder: “It’s not like I have no hands. I can wash my feet by myself. In the future, I won’t talk about marriage with you. Don’t worry, on this matter, only heaven knows and earth knows, you know and I know.”

Chen Baisong: “???”

AN: Chen Baisong: “I’ve been wronged.”

Back To The Beginning Of Ming To Do Charity CH 120 Market Economy

“Zhang Jiuliu, the general wants to see you.” The person who carried the word glanced at Zhang Jiuliu, envy and jealousy in his heart. Of the four brothers of the Zhang family, Zhang Jiuli was now a commander of ten thousand. Of the three younger brothers, Zhang Jiuwu was still just an ordinary soldier, Zhang Jiuliu had been promoted to platoon leader a few days ago, and Zhang Jiuqi while not good at martial arts, was good at scholarship and had become a student of Manager Song.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Zhang Jiuliu was a bit confused.

He was born tall and was even sturdier than his eldest brother, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, looking like a very honest man. When on the battlefield, he would always charge in the front and therefore had a fair amount of military merits. He also married a wife and was rewarded with a big house. In the future, even if he had 8-10 children, the house would still fit all of them.

Zhang Jiuliu was worried that he had done something wrong, so he followed the person who brought the message in an anxious manner, pondering about it the whole way.

It should be a good thing. If it was a bad thing he was being called for, it would not just be a person with the message, but soldiers to arrest him. He was also a platoon leader. If he had committed anything major, a review meeting would be held.

When Zhang Jiuliu returned to the dormitory in a dazed manner, his comrades in the dormitory asked him enthusiastically: “What is it? Are you going to be promoted again? It will be the battalion commander next on the promotion ladder. Then you will also be the youngest battalion commander. That’s too impressive.”

Zhang Jiuliu looked at him blankly, and then said, “The general, told me to go to Gaoyou.”

“Why Gaoyou? The soldiers at Gaoyou hardly fight and don’t have much military merit. Being stationed there is safe though.”

“Yes, even though you can’t get military merit, you at least don’t need to live with the prospect of dying on the battlefield.”

The comrades were all comforting him. After all, if he was still a platoon leader when he went to Gaoyou, it would be equivalent to a demotion.

Zhang Jiuliu swallowed: “The general asked me to take 10,000 people to Gaoyou.”

“What?!”

“Zhang Jiuliu! Are you going to be the commander of ten thousand troops?!”

They stared at Zhang Jiuliu, as if this person they had been facing every day and night suddenly grew three heads and six arms.

Zhang Jiuliu couldn’t restrain his emotions, he had always admired his eldest brother.

From his point of view, his eldest brother was practically omnipotent. He was righteous, tall, and after his eldest brother became the commander of ten thousand troops, he also wondered if one day he could become a commander. At that time, would that mean that he and his eldest brother were the same kind of people? And that he could stand shoulder to shoulder with his eldest brother?

“By the way, you have all been promoted this time, should you not change your names?” A comrade asked.

Zhang Jiuliu smiled and said: “We have thought about it a long time ago. My eldest brother said that the reason us brothers can come here is because of a person who has the same surname as ours. If it were not for him, we would not have today. So my eldest brother took the name of that benefactor.”

“Zhang Shicheng.”

“Us brothers followed this name when choosing our own names. My second brother is Zhang Shixin, my name is Zhang Shide, and my younger brother is Zhang Shiyi.”

Comrades: “This name! Honesty, trust, virtue, and justice, what good names!”

Zhang Shide said with a smile: “My eldest brother thought of it.”

Someone next to him said: “It’s a pity that some people have nothing to do with the word trustworthy.”

Zhang Shide was taken aback for a moment, and immediately knew who the other was talking about, and asked, “My second elder brother went to gamble again?”

The man: “Who said no, you got a house as a reward last time, and didn’t you give it to him? Yesterday he went to the gambling parlour, and when he left, he lost the house you gave to other people. If you ask me, you shouldn’t give him anything. And he is actually your second elder brother, yet he is not even as good as your younger brother.”

Zhang Shide also had a headache. His second elder brother was not like his eldest brother. Since his eldest brother became the commander of ten thousand, his second elder brother acted like he didn’t even know what his surname was, becoming arrogant and conceited.

Now that he had also become a commander of ten thousand, his second elder brother would likely…..

When Zhang Shide thought of this, he couldn’t help but show a bitter expression. Gambling was not a big deal. Generally, when caught, the punishment at most would just be a fine.

But it would only be during these few years where there was a shortage of people and soldiers. In the future, when the world was peaceful, and his second elder brother still loved gambling, then what could be done?

“If you ask me, your second brother is not a soldier’s material, and it is better to tell him to stay at home. The monthly salary you and your eldest brother receive is enough to support him, so don’t let him implicate you when the time comes.”

“Exactly, think it over carefully yourself.”

Zhang Shide thanked his comrades first before packing up his things and preparing to leave.

He had very clear thoughts. The general told him to go to Gaoyou, and it must not be for him to go over there to enjoy life. If Gaoyou was fine, the original troops stationed there were already enough. That he was sent over meant that Gaoyou had a problem.

Serving as a soldier, he could only climb up the ladder by fighting, and if there were no battles to be fought, don’t know how long it would take to climb up that ladder.

Although it was not an easy job to be a soldier now, it was not a difficult job either.

Nowadays, as a soldier there were many opportunities to earn military merit. So long as one was not timid, basically one would be able to earn some savings. After retiring, they would be able to spend a few years of leisurely retirement. Even if they didn’t look for things to do, they still won’t starve to death. Moreover, the South Bodhisattva had issued a decree the other day saying that even if soldiers retired, the superiors would still arrange things for them do.

The days were now full of prospect and the future looked bright. Soldiers were no longer like before, immediately spending all the money they earned. There were also fewer people who gambled. They wanted to save more money so that when they retired later, they could buy a bigger house, get married, and have a few children. It was also fine to marry into the wife’s family if they couldn’t find a wife to marry.

Gaoyou was the place where the South Bodhisattva first started. The atmosphere of Gaoyou had almost all spread to other places, especially the fact that women were now able to establish households and possess property. Since women could also establish households and were eligible to own property, the women have also gradually changed. There were some large families and scholars who felt that women have become untamed. Originally, they were sheep and went wherever the herder drove them.

At home they obeyed their father, when married they obeyed their husband. They could not survive without a man, there was simply no place for single women to survive in the world.

But now it was different. Many women who were able to set up their own households have established their own households when they reached adulthood. Five or six years ago, who would have thought that this would become so common. When walking down the streets, it was common to see single women doing business. Sisters and friends who had a good relationship before setting up their households teamed up and supported each other. If anyone tried to find trouble or harass them, they would go to the guards on patrol.

The more developed the economy, the later the age of marriage. Gaoyou was considered to be the most developed place. There was salt, and now it had the embryonic form of a market economy. Gaoyou originally had a laundry workshop dedicated to washing clothes for soldiers.

After setting up a household, a few women felt that this was a way to make money, so they invited other women to open a laundry workshop together.

At the beginning, no one asked them to wash their clothes, so they went door to door and even prepared some small snacks, which were not very expensive, but it was more sincere than knocking on the door empty-handed. In short, this method led to their first order.

Almost everyone in Gaoyou had a job. Slowly, many people found that sending clothes to be washed could save themselves quite a lot of time. After all, washing clothes was not easy work.

Soon, their laundry workshop got bigger and bigger, and more and more workers were hired, not only from Gaoyou, but also throughout Taizhou.

No one could have imagined that they would succeed.

Their success also gave a boost to the market economy.

Many people worked in the factories while also looking for work outside. Many people wanted to do business.

Chu Lin was now taking care of these things. Since Song Shizhao’s departure, these responsibilities have fallen on his head. Although there were people left by Song Shizhao to assist him, Chu Lin still insisted on taking care of everything personally, lest something happened and caused him to be implicated. This had won him a reputation, and the women also quite liked him.

In fact, iorder to see him a few more times, some women even caused some troubles that had one not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

People around him often made fun of him because of this, saying that if he was a woman, he would definitely be a demonic concubine who would bring calamity to the country and the people.

At this time, Chu Lin looked at the woman in front of him with a serious face. He had already learned to put on a pretense, at least he now looked like a cold and upright “lord”.

The woman’s surname was Li. Originally, she didn’t have a given name. After she established her own household, she named herself Li Shengnan.

She was in the food industry and ran more than a dozen shops selling cooked food. Today, she came to pay taxes.

Li Shengnan looked very frail and delicate, but the shrewdness of a businessman flashed in her eyes. She sat opposite Chu Lin, looking neither humble nor overbearing, and said, “My lord, this is the account book from the previous season. I already had my bookkeeper calculate it, and I have to pay a tax of 1,600 taels.”

All the people that Chu Lin met in person were big businessmen, and they could only see him when the taxes they paid amounted to at least over 500 taels.

Li Shengnan said: “There is another thing I would like to discuss with my lord. I want to rent the open space in the north of the city and construct a house for the employees.”

Chu Lin took a sip of tea: “How many years do you want to rent?”

Li Shengnan smiled at Chu Lin: “Forty years.”

Every ten years was a watershed, and prices would rise a lot.

Chu Lin said to her: “That’s not a small amount of money.”

Li Shengnan sighed: “My business is small, and the employees have accompanied from difficult times. Most of them come from poor families. And since they have given me their lives and entrusted their livelihood to me, I naturally want to treat them better.”

She had begun to bargain with Chu Lin.

Chu Lin smiled and said, “Boss Li is righteous.”

Li Shengnan hurriedly waved her hand: “How can this be called righteousness? The South Bodhisattva is the righteous one, and what ordinary people like us can do is limited.”

Chu Lin: “Boss Li is too humble.”

“I have here some people who have retired from the barracks.” Chu Lin said, “There are those with lame legs or those with amputated arms, but they all have a lot of strength and their disability doesn’t affect their work.”

Li Shengnan lowered her eyes and seemed to be thinking. After a while, she said, “Business is not easy now, and I can only accept another 20 people.”

Chu Lin: “Then Boss Li can go back and wait for the news. There are many people who want to rent the land in the north of the city.”

Li Shengnan: “My lord! This matter can still be discussed, sixty people, it really can’t be more!”

Chu Lin picked up the tea cup and hid his smile behind it: “Boss Li, please come with me and sign the land deed.”

Li Shengnan breathed a sigh of relief. She was born in a small family. She lost her father in childhood and was brought up by her mother. Her mother was born in a merchant family and felt that money was the greatest truth in the world. She remained a widow and tightly held onto the family’s money and shops and taught her daughter by herself. Li Shengnan grew up under such conditions. If there was no accident, she would also do everything possible to control the money and the shops after she married in the future.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

But then, the South Bodhisattva came, and she didn’t have to marry, she could also set up a household like a man and earn her own money.

Even her mother said to her, “I’m not as lucky as you. When luck comes, you have to take it.”

Li Shengnan agreed.

Gaoyou’s economy was developing rapidly.

It had become a shocking behemoth.

Bird Dude Nie Bufan CH 113 Extra: Afterwards

Decades later, the peaceful Ming Kingdom ushered in a glorious era of oddballs, bringing with them surging winds and gathering clouds.

The position of Leader of the Wulin League was transferred, and it was a boy with the surname Wang who was only twenty years old who won the position.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

The highest scorers of the civil and military imperial examinations were respectively a boy surnamed Zhang and a boy surnamed Li, who were both only 17 and 18 years old. But after they won first place, they abandoned their title and went off to wander the world free and unfettered.

A 19-year-old demoness surnamed Wei emerged in Jianghu. She had outstanding martial arts, a fierce personality, and she was so beautiful that people dared not look directly at her. All the men defeated by her eventually became her supporters.

A world-famous garden had been built in Yan Shun City, where exotic flowers and vegetation from all over the world were planted, attracting hundreds of birds and butterflies to perform dances, creating a scenery as beautiful as the fairyland. The owner of this garden was a girl surnamed Li who was only 18 years old.

The owner of the largest dock in the Ming Kingdom was a 16-year-old boy surnamed Tai.

The crown prince of the Ming Kingdom was 15 years old, his mother unknown.

………

These young talents swept the whole kingdom like waves and became the models of all the younger generations. Don’t know how many innocent teenagers had changed their personalities because of them. They ignored social ethics and were daring, triggering a wave of change again and again, and bringing about liberation to a certain extent from the antiquated ideas that imprisoned the Ming Kingdom for thousands of years. The era had become the most dynamic era in history.

It was rumored that the young talents with nicknames A, B, C, D…..were likely to have some kind of special kinship, but opinions were divided and there was no definite conclusion. People only knew that almost every few years one or two popular teenagers with nicknames that followed the “ordinal numbers” would show up.

Bird Dude Nie Bufan CH 112 Extra: Tai Bai

Tai Bai was the young island master of Qiyu Island. He grew up surrounded by the sea, and his swimming skills were so good that no one in the world could match it.

When he was a baby, he once crawled into a bucket full of water while the nanny was not there. When they finally discovered him, he had already sunk completely into the water and blowing out bubbles one after another. The nanny was so scared that she hurriedly fished him out, but he only spat out the water on the nanny’s face. Not only did he not drown in the water, he was actually laughing happily.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Therefore, his father shooed him out into the sea when he was ten years old, constantly challenging his limits, and every time he almost thought he would really drown, he would always come out of the water in a mysterious way.

After he was thirteen years old, his father no longer restricted him from any underwater activities.

He swam in the ocean every day, picking pearls, catching fish, and searching for treasures, just like a sea fish that couldn’t drown to death. He was completely unrestrained and carefree.

He didn’t like business, he didn’t like literary academics, and he didn’t like sitting in the study to deal with all kinds of affairs. He did not have the arrogance of a gongzi of a big affluent family, no noble temperament, no ambition to stand out, only a simple and enthusiastic heart. All the residents on the island liked him, supported him, loved him, and got along with him like family and friends. His popularity on the island was as unsurpassed as his swimming skills.

But his father felt that he had failed to the extreme with his son’s education. With his character, how would he inherit Qiyu Island in the future? Father Tai could do nothing, it was too late to correct it, and he could only leave it up to fate. At least he was still very popular on the island. He’ll just find him a capable wife in the future.

However, the hopes of Father Tai died completely after Tai Bai went on a trip. His son fell in love with a man, a man who was even less reliable than him!

Tai Bai met him at the water’s edge, kissed in their first meeting and then fell in love at second sight. He felt that Nie Bufan was like the sea, making waves even without any wind, and hiding many strange creatures within that would pop out to scare people from time to time.

Tai Bai liked this kind of novel feeling of treasure hunting, and also liked to get close to the other.

Therefore, when the other fell into a coma, Tai Bai felt a sense of fear inexplicably, and he was afraid of losing him. This was the first time he felt fear in more than two decades.

Until Bufan finally woke up, even if the other had forgotten him, he was still ecstatic.

Tai Bai was an optimistic person. If he forgot him, then he’ll let him know himself again and enrich his memory again.

What had been forgotten was only a few months in time, and they still had most of their lives to create memories.

As long as he was still alive and well.

The only thing that made Tai Bai gloomy was that there were too many guards around Bufan, and he couldn’t defeat any of them. He had spent countless lonely and empty nights, and although he didn’t care very much, he always felt that something was missing.

He threw his worries into the back of his mind, and went to sea with his uncle whenever he was free, collecting books from various countries and overseas products for Bufan. And on the way, he opened up overseas markets for Chicken Nest Village and established a unique chicken pet trade. The reason why he chose to stay in Chicken Nest Village was not only because of Bufan, but also because of the chickens in Chicken Nest Village.

Apart from Bufan and Wang Shichan, he was the person who got along the most harmoniously with the chickens. Most of the tasks of feeding and training the chickens were won by him.

Several years later, he was awarded the title of “Chicken Dad” by Bufan. This title was simply inhumane. In the end, under his desperate resistance, a certain someone finally mercifully changed “Chicken Dad” to “Chicken Young Master”.

Alas, may the sea god bless him!

Tai Bai was actually very pure and innocent. He had impulses but was never promiscuous. It seemed that so long as there was a person in his heart, he couldn’t embrace another person. Meeting Nie Bufan was considered his misfortune, remaining abstinent to the point of internal injuries, every time he could only solve it by himself.

Until one day, he was discovered by Nie Bufan while he was masterbating in the bathroom. At that time, he really wanted to kill himself, because a certain someone gave him a look that expressed “We’re all men, I understand”, his gaze particularly rapturous.

Tai Bai completely abandoned himself, dragged the other into the water, and said fiercely: “Just perfect, you can help me lower the fire!”

Nie Bufan looked at the giant thing underwater, and said, “My handjob is not very good, what should I do if I break it?”

Tai Bai said angrily: “Can you only use your hands?”

Nie Bufan hesitated: “My mouth also doesn’t seem like it will fit…..”

Tai Bai couldn’t hold it any longer, and directly pressed down on him, giving him an overwhelmingly deep kiss.

He had accompanied his uncle and learned to deal with many foreigners. Some foreigners were very enthusiastic and open. Under the pressure of his uncle, he was forced to watch many “exciting” performances. After every time he watched it, he could only escape into his room and self-harm.

Now he finally had a chance to experience it personally. He had been a virgin for more than 20 years, and finally caught this fox that sent itself to his door. So how could he let the other go?

The water in the bath was rippling, and two people inside embraced, flesh rubbing against flesh.

Looking at the person close at hand, Tai Bai’s sanity burned out. Eagerly entering, eagerly thrusting all the way in.

The essence he had saved for more than 20 years was left to Village Head Nie.

“Ah…..Xiao Bai, you…..” Nie Bufan leaned back and splashed out a lot of water.

“Bufan, Bufan…..” Tai Bai’s kisses stretched from his lips and jaw to his neck, collarbone, and chest.

“Hnn…..” Nie Bufan was dizzy from the rocking, he didn’t even know when he was taken out of the bath or when he was pressed down on the floor.

Tai Bai was full of joy and desire. When he connected closely with him, it seemed as if his soul was finally intact.

He finally knew what he was missing before, and that was to imprint his mark on the other, and never let him forget him again.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Bufan’s feelings for everyone around him all stemmed from this imprint. It could be said that he had no heart, and his heart needed others to complete it, and the fit of the body was the most direct way.

Tai Bai had never embraced him, so he had always felt uneasy. Now that the dust had settled, they finally possessed each other.

“Bufan, I, we love you.”

Bird Dude Nie Bufan CH 111 Extra: Emperor Ming

Emperor Ming had been a little depressed recently, because his concubine actually cheated on him behind his back and even got pregnant with a bastard child, which was simply a great insult to his male ability. He vowed to drag out that adulterer, he wanted to see just what kind of guy dared to steal a woman from him!

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

In order to catch this person, he quietly left a special fragrance on Consort Li and let that adulterer step into the snare himself.

Things went smoothly in the beginning. The adulterer couldn’t resist anymore and finally showed up, but his unexpected agility allowed him to escape when the imperial guards went to surround him. However, as long as he still had that scent on his body, he would not be able to escape their tracking, and Emperor Ming patiently waited for the result in the study.

It didn’t take long before the guards really caught the person back. But this “adulterer” was a little different from what he had previously expected.

He was very young, his eyes pure, his expression calm, and his behavior even more casual. And he was not afraid of him at all. Not only was he not afraid, but he could speak logically and calmly to clear himself of suspicion.

“Zhen has always known that Consort Li is having an affair with other men behind Zhen’s back. In order to catch this person, Zhen specially rewarded Consort Li a unique spice. Only people who have been in contact with her will be contaminated by it, and you also have the same fragrance on your body.” He said this, but he kept examining the other out of the corner of his eyes.

“Wrong, it’s not me that has the fragrance, but this piece of clothing.” He stood up and expressed that this piece of clothing was not his, and even shook it a few times. The belt was shaken off by him and the robe indeed appeared too loose on his thin body.

“Look, who would wear this to go to a tryst?” He was completely uncaring of his disheveled image, making his argument with conviction.

Emperor Ming wanted to laugh a little, but he held it back and was silent for a moment. He suddenly said: “Consort Li is pregnant.”

Originally he had wanted to test the other’s reaction, but who knew that he actually replied: “Should I say congratulations to Your Majesty?”

Emperor Ming could guess the expressions of the guards and eunuchs around him without looking. For the first time, he felt choked speechless. At this moment, he was extremely sure that this guy could never be an adulterer. What woman would have the bad eyesight to be interested in him?

Emperor Ming threw the jade pendant that was accidentally squeezed into pieces on the table, walked to him, and commanded arrogantly: “Take off your clothes.”

He wanted to embarrass this guy, but the other didn’t feel embarrassed at all. He actually really did take off his clothes with movements that could only be called decisive and straightforward!

He became a little interested in him, and when his eyes touched upon the hairpin on his head, he had made a decision in his heart. He stretched out his hand to pull out the hairpin and let his hair fall down over his shoulders. The jet-black hair was unexpectedly smooth, with a faint scent of sunlight.

After asking him a few questions, he made a decision to keep him by his side temporarily. It was rare to meet such a funny guy, and he couldn’t just let him go no matter what.

And this stay resulted in a romantic debt.

Emperor Ming did not expect that the “Xiaobao” he kept with him was indeed a real treasure. His behavior was arbitrary but not offensive, and his speech was completely without tact but could always bring joy to people. Of course, it was more often maddening.

It was undeniable that his interest in him would become more than expected, and just because of an erotic poem, his beastly desire immediately became aroused.

Originally, his actions mostly consisted of elements of teasing, but he didn’t expect that he would actually do it all the way, and that the lovemaking would only leave him wanting more.

After experiencing the pleasure, he did not put up a pretense or mince about, and naturally accepted their relationship, as if they should be getting along like this all along, close and relaxed.

He felt that he had come to like this little guy, and it seemed a pleasant idea to continue keeping him by his side.

After a few days of pleasurable lovemaking, there was a poisoning incident. He saved his life. As Emperor Ming looked at the weak and sickly person, he felt extremely angry. Even his concubine’s unfaithfulness had not made him so angry before.

He was concerned about his safety, but the other just responded, “I’m hungry.”

This guy was like this. It seemed that there was nothing in the world that could make him afraid or sad, and he could even smile lightly despite being poisoned.

Later, he learned that his physique was special and that the poison would not harm his life, but also that he was diagnosed with a premature death. He himself didn’t care, and Emperor Ming couldn’t tease out even a bit of truth from his words, after all this guy never acted seriously if he could help it.

The period of time spent with him was probably the happiest in his life. Just when he thought he could keep him for the rest of his life, this guy stole away with his token and even abducted his Teacher of the State.

At that time, he was so angry that he even thought out various punishments just waiting for him to receive it.

But, he never came back.

He said he was called “Wei Xiaobao”, which proved to be a lie.

He said that he was only in love with the Teacher of the State, which proved to be a lie as well.

It turned out that he was called “Nie Bufan”, and he was the village head of Chicken Nest Village and the descendant of the Duobao Sage.

It turned out that he had more than one man, he was a little rascal with no integrity.

He was given one-fifth of the treasures of the Duobao Sage. He thought he could see him by this, but he didn’t expect that he would refuse without hesitation! Even towards such enormous wealth he could give up at will. Emperor Ming really felt powerless.

After exhausting all the methods, he was still unable to bring him back to him. Even he, the emperor, had to say to him: “You win!”

It seemed that the mountain would not come to him.

Emperor Ming was very depressed. State affairs exhausted him, but no one was there to comfort him, no one was there to amuse him, he was as lonely as snow.

In the end, he finally decided that he would go to the mountain!

Did that guy think that everything would be fine if he just hid in Chicken Nest Village? The majesty of the emperor did not tolerate being trampled on!

Therefore, he took a large number of guards to occupy Chicken Nest Village while he occupied Village Head Nie’s house and special favor. No one in the village dared to fight with him. Seeing the clear expressions of grievances on the chickens and people, his vanity was greatly satisfied.

“Xiaobao, go back to the palace with me?” Emperor Ming pressed down on him and said softly.

“No, the palace is no place for humans to stay in.”

Emperor Ming’s eyebrows knotted: “If it’s not for humans to stay in, then what is Zhen?”

“You are a god!”

Emperor Ming pistoned in and out vigorously, leaving his reserved marks on the other’s skin.

“Ngh…..just how long have you not vented your sexual urges!” Nie Bufan was angry.

“Since you left, Zhen has been abstinent.” Emperor Ming said aggrievedly.

“As if I’d believe you!” Nie Bufan casted a contemptuous look at him, “You actually couldn’t get it up for a long time, right?”

Emperor Ming’s teeth felt itchy, and he lifted the other’s leg and thrusted hard. “Zhen will let you see just how Zhen can’t get it up?”

“Ah…..enough, you! Hnnn…..”

After venting his desires, Emperor Ming leaned on him and said, “Xiaobao, give birth to Zhen’s child.”

Nie Bufan lay bonelessly and mumbled: “If you have the ability, then I will give birth to a child for you.”

“Are you questioning my ability?” Emperor Ming narrowed his eyes dangerously.

“How could I?” Nie Bufan smiled, “I’m questioning my own ability.”

“Hmmph.” Emperor Ming raised his chin, “Don’t seduce Zhen.”

His member had not yet pulled out, and it was already showing signs of recovery.

Nie Bufan immediately buried his head in the pillow and said, “I’m going to sleep.”

“En, go to sleep, Zhen will do it myself.”

“…..You animal!”

Emperor Ming stayed in Chicken Nest Village for a month, and he only left reluctantly when it was confirmed that a certain someone was pregnant.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

He thought, if this guy gave birth to a boy for him, he might make him the crown prince…..a child who was similar to him, just what kind of cute little guy would he be?

He couldn’t wait.

Xiaobao, Zhen is optimistic about you!

Bird Dude Nie Bufan CH 110 Extra: Fan Luo

Ever since he officially moved into Chicken Nest Village, Fan Luo felt as if he had lost something.

He gave up his status, responsibilities, and all honors and disgrace for the sake of being with Bufan, binding himself to him for the rest of his life. Originally he thought that so long as he could be with him, it was happiness. However, there were too many lovers around the other, and he could only wander outside of the doors to his heart, always unable to find his own position.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

He was a little bit disappointed, but he did not regret it, just occasionally felt lost.

He could only do things he liked as much as possible, such as brewing wine, and this was the only thing he could use to get close to the other.

Until one day, Bufan got drunk and hugged him while saying, “Luo Luo, you are so good.”

A good person card was issued as soon as he opened his mouth, and Fan Luo’s distress had nowhere to vent.

Then, he said again: “I know you gave up a lot for me, but I can’t give you a whole heart in return.”

Fan Luo was a little surprised, he didn’t expect this guy to have such a sentimental side. He really missed this part of him before.

“Don’t be unhappy.” Nie Bufan rubbed against his face and said softly, “Although I can’t give you more, I will give you a name that lasts through the ages.”

A name that lasts through the ages? Fan Luo smiled and shook his head, then carefully carried him onto the bed.

“Oh you, I am content knowing you have this heart.”

Even when this guy was awake, there were not a few words he spoke that were true, let alone when he was drunk. So he just treated it as a joke.

Sure enough, the next day he had forgotten everything and went about his day as usual. His carefree and heartless self was indeed really vexing.

But half a month later, he suddenly had people bring over a big box.

“What is this?” Fan Luo asked.

Nie Bufan opened the box, revealing the neatly arranged books inside, and smiled: “I asked Tai Bai’s uncle to collect precious books from all over the world, and they will be given to you to translate and compose in the future.”

A trace of delight flashed in Fan Luo’s eyes, and he picked up a book and skimmed it. It was indeed a foreign book.

After a pause, Fan Luo raised his head and looked at Nie Bufan deeply. He didn’t expect that the other knew his likes and preferences? He had a super eidetic memory, an erudite with knowledge of a large range of books, as well as proficient in various languages, so he was naturally interested in books from various countries. He had thought that after living in Chicken Nest Village, he would no longer have the opportunity to make contact with such things anymore. But who knew that a certain someone would give him such a delightful surprise.

At this time, Nie Bufan said again: “Luo Luo, you are our children’s future teacher, so it is necessary to prepare in advance and write some textbooks to enrich their learning or whatever.”

Fan Luo was speechless, he just knew that this guy was not so kind, it turned out he was training a teacher for the children.

He became angry, lifted Nie Bufan’s collar and threw him out, and then slammed the door with a bang.

“Ai, don’t be like this, I won’t overwork you, you can just take a look when you hac5e time.” A certain someone’s tactless voice came from outside the door.

“Piss off!”

While annoyed, Fan Luo really did like to read books. Whenever he was free, he began to translate the classics. The charm of various texts let him find happiness and satisfaction. Therefore, towards the occasional fits of insanity or unromantic gestures from Nie Bufan, he tolerated it all graciously.

Nie Bufan happily helped him collect books, and Fan Luo was also happy to swim in the ocean of books.

He didn’t know that Nie Bufan organized all the books he translated and handed them to Zhang Junshi and asked him to publish and distribute them. As the compiler, Fan Luo’s name gradually became known to the world. During his lifetime, he translated a total of more than 2,340 books, covering astronomy, geography, literature, politics, military, art, medicine…..practically every subject.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Perhaps even Fan Luo himself did not expect that his hobby would allow the Ming Kingdom to understand the world in advance and to integrate into the world more quickly, as well as make a huge contribution to the dissemination of knowledge and the liberation of ideas. And as a result, his name had also left a significant mark in history.

Unknowingly, Nie Bufan did fulfill his promise——to give him “a name that lasts through the ages.”
