Woken up by the sound of roosters crowing outside, Chen Xing slowly opened his eyes, silently sighed in his heart as he saw the earthy yellow roof above his head and smelled the dampness of the blankets on his body.

 

Chen Xing felt that no matter how long he had been here, he was still a bit uncomfortable and couldn’t adapt with the life here, not to mention the fact that he had only been ‘Chen Xing’ here for three days.

 

There is no doubt, Chen Xing was originally not from here at all.
He was originally from Z country in the 21st century.
At such a young age, he became one of the eight heirs of the Z national cuisine chef.
Unfortunately, when he was on a plane for the exchange program with chefs from other countries, the plane met with an unforeseen situation and crashed.
He changed from the formerly Chen Xing to the ancient time ‘Chen Xing’.

 

Although Chen Xing was born as the son of Chen Family’s patriarch, Master Chen and a concubine, his status in the Chen family’s residence was no different from that of a servant.

 

The most depressing thing for Chen Xing was that not only, he transmigrate into an ancient person, but he also arrived at a dynasty he had never heard of.
Moreover, the people here were divided into three types of gender; men, women and ger.
The first two were the same as in his previous life, except for the last one, who definitely had the appearance of a man but against reason, could bear children.

 

The good thing was that the character of the people here were quite tough as nails therefore both women and gers had a high degree of freedom to be whatever they wanted to be, except that they couldn’t be officials.
If it was not for this, Chen Xing felt that he would have died of boredom and depression.

 

“Chen Xing, are you up yet? These two days, Madam is not in a good mood, so we have to go to work quickly, or else it would be bad if Madam’s leg’s dogs 1 caught us!”

 

Just as Chen Xing was sighing and lamenting over his unfavourable situation, he slowly tidied up and got up.
He heard someone calling out to him outside the door, so he hurriedly answered and cleaned himself up before he walked out of the woodshed.
When he opened the door, he saw the person waiting for him, Chen Xing smiled at him and said, “Let’s go! ”

 

The Ger who came to call Chen Xing was called Zhou Guo, the third child of the housekeeper.
Because of the housekeeper, he usually picked up some light work.
When Chen Xing first arrived, he helped him chase away a hooligan and after that Zhou Guo became enthusiastic toward him and liked to take Chen Xing with him in everything he did.

Their task today was to clean up the front courtyard.

 

Zhou Guo was very fastidious and in no time he had cleaned up the area he was in charge of.
Then he picked up a broom and came to Chen Xing’s side, pulled his sleeve and lowered his voice as he said, “Chen Xing, quick take a look, that is the scholar from the Gu family.
He really came to our residence.”

 

Hearing from the tone of his voice where Zhou Guo was unable to conceal his excitement, Chen Xing looked up at the direction he pointed, only in time to see a thin and weak back figure dressed in a cyan scholar’s uniform.

 

“It’s a pity.” Zhou Guo’s voice rang out in Chen Xing’s ears, his tone full of regret and sympathy.

 

Hearing this, Chen Xing was a bit confused since he did not understand what he was regretting about so he asked him directly.

 

Zhou Guo looked around and saw that there was no one else here beside them so he leaned in close to Chen Xing’s ear and gossiped, “Do you know what the relationship between that scholar surnamed Gu and the Chen family is?”

 

Chen Xing shook his head.

 

Zhou Guo’s eyes were full of gossip as he said excitedly to Chen Xing, “The Gu family was originally a wealthy merchant.
Previously, the young master from the Gu family was a famous child prodigy.
The Chen family relied on the fact that the Gu family was a prominent and aristocratic family, so they simply tied to Gu Family through the marriage contract or betrothal.
Later on, the Gu family was punished by the county magistrate for committing a serious crime so most of their family property was confiscated.
The whole family was killed by bandits who had fled down from the mountains, only this young master Gu escaped from the calamity, he then left here and went to seek a living (drift aimlessly). Several years later, the county magistrate was beheaded by the new emperor for some unknown crime, thus this Gu young master came back here again.
However the former child prodigy who was previously praised by everyone was now a jar medicine.
Without the support and the great wealth of his family, I don’t know how long he will live.”

 

Zhou Guo shook his head regretfully, as if sighing at the Gu family’s young master’s tragic fate, “He came back this time, supposedly to honour his marriage contract with the Chen family.
However, the people in the county think that he is the bane of others’ existence.
He is bad luck to his father, mother and to his relatives.
Now, he himself is dying, I also don’t know what Madam will do.”

 

As Chen Xing listened to Zhou Guo’s words, he became curious about the man who had just walked past but his curiosity did not last long.
After all, he himself had his hands full managing his own affairs so naturally, he did not have the heart to look after others.

In the main hall of the Chen family, Madam Chen sent Gu Lang off and with a gloomy face, she asked her servants to sprinkle pomelo leaf water on the road he had passed by to remove the bad luck.

 

The fourth young lady of the Chen family, who had been hiding behind the screen as she watched, came out and said coquettishly, “Mother, what’s wrong with you?”

 

Madam Chen stroked her daughter’s soft hair and said gloomily, “Mother is thinking about the request made by that ‘calamity star’ just now.”

 

The purpose of Gu Lang’s visit was very clear: he no longer insisted the Chen family to marry off his daughter to him, he only wa
