Spring in Red Mansions Author: The Wind Blows Cool Outside

In the fifth year of Long'an, Jia Qiang escaped from Ningguo Mansion, the nest of tigers and wolves, to protect his innocence. Since then, his spring in the world of Red Mansions has ushered in...

Chapter 1 Innocence

Shenjing West City, Rongning Back Street, inside a dilapidated two-entry house that has been in disrepair for a long time.

On the hand-pasted red clay stove, a round-mouthed sand pot was gurgling endlessly.

The faint fragrance of rice filled the air, and Jia Qiang lightly shook the cattail fan in her hand, carefully controlling the heat, to ensure that the porridge was cooked, but not too hot to burn the bottom of the pot.

Just before the rice porridge in the sand pot was cooked, I heard a "squeak" sound from the courtyard outside the door. Not long after, a young man with the appearance of a 17-year-old nobleman walked in.

The place where the eyes came into view was the young man's sapphire blue brocade robe with dark purple and cloud patterns. Jia Qiang stopped the wooden spoon in her hand and asked with sideways eyes, "Brother Rong, why are you here?"

The person who came was Jia Rong, the son of Jia Zhen, the hereditary third-rank general Wei Lie of the Ningguo Mansion.

Looking at the red ribs on Jia Rong's handsome face that hadn't faded, Jia Qiang narrowed her eyes slightly, and her face became more serious.

Jia Rong smiled awkwardly, avoiding Jia Qiang's clear eyes, and sighed in her heart:

It’s strange that my absurd old man got drunk last night and almost did something stupid, this brother Qiang’s life is indeed more and more picky...

But remembering the scolding and scolding that his father just spat on his face, Jia Rong had no choice but to hold back his face, and smiled apologetically: "My good brother, what are you doing? I grew up in the mansion of a prince like me when I was young. Yes, when did you step on the cook's floor? Now you use this broken tile to cook porridge, and you even wear linen...Why is this?"

When Jia Qiang heard the words, her face was indifferent, and she didn't respond, because she was too disgusted and too scared.

If he had come a little later the day before yesterday, he might have been unable to escape Jia Qiang's original fate...

Jia Qiang, originally named Jia Qiang, was originally an ordinary research monk in a textile engineering university on earth.

The night before last, I was working on a graduation project in the laboratory overnight. I didn't expect that when my eyes darkened and then opened again, I became Jia Qiang in the world of the Red Chamber.

Jia Qiang used to like to read idle books, especially the Red Chamber, so he is no stranger to Jia Qiang.

He remembered this person's origin by heart: "It turns out that this person's name is Jia Qiang, and he is also a decent great-great-grandson in the Ning Mansion. His parents died early, and he lived with Jia Zhen since childhood. Now he is 16 years older, and he is more handsome than Jia Rongsheng. The two of his brothers are the closest to each other, and they often get along with each other. There are many people in the Ning Mansion, and those servants who are unwilling to do so are good at making rumors and slandering their masters, so I don't know if there are any villains criticizing rumors. Jia Zhen thought It is also rumored that some of the words are not good, and I want to avoid some suspicions, and now I have distributed the house, and ordered Jia Qiang to move out of Ning Mansion and set up a family to live."

In the previous life, Jia Qiang also wondered, what exactly did those frustrated servants spread rumors and slander?

Did Jia Rong and Jia Qiang get married, or did Jia Qiang and Jia Rong's daughter-in-law get married, and became the brother-in-law of Jiao Da's saying "raise a brother-in-law"?

Cao Gong did not reveal anything in the Red Chamber...

Now that he traveled through time, he finally figured it out.

Ganqing is neither of the two, but was targeted by the dissolute Jia Zhen, and almost succeeded.

Jia Qiang was already so drunk the night before that she became fish on the chopping board, so she couldn't escape the chrysanthemum picking.

Not wanting to be possessed by Jia Qiang, she woke up and saw that she was almost raped by a man. In shock, she kicked the unsuspecting Jia Zhen, and ran all the way to escape from Ningguo Mansion.

Reminiscent of some conjectures when I read the Red Mansion in my previous life, I have confirmed what happened to this predecessor:

No wonder in the previous life Jia Qiang fell in love with Ling Guan who sang an opera, a "whore fan" in the words of Aunt Zhao, and "just a cat or a dog" in Jia Tanchun's mouth.

Lin Daiyu was even more ashamed because Shi Xiangyun compared her with the age official.

It's not that Tanchun and Daiyu don't respect people, it's just because for thousands of years, the name of an actor is like a prostitute.

That's why there is a ratio between the ruthless cousin and the ruthless actor.

Jia Qiang was originally an aristocratic son with "beautiful appearance and smart interior". Could it be that his knowledge is not as good as that of a few housewives?

How could he fall in love with a little actor and go out of his way just to make the old man smile?

Normally speaking, if he is favored by him as an overlord, he will be a good person in ten generations if he is not an overlord. It is only reasonable to use some means to threaten and lure him to get him.

Now it seems that it happened for a reason...

After all, wouldn't a boy who has no father and no mother be played by his elders as a "remnant flower and willow willow" and an actor who is "like a cat or a dog" be a perfect match?

Fortunately, Jia Qiang's arrival in time did not allow the tragedy of "man on man plus man" to happen...

However, the situation Jia Qiang is facing now is not much better.

Jia Zhen inherits the title of Ningguo and is the patriarch of the Jia clan. Even though it is a strange dynasty named Dayan, since it is a feudal era, clan power must be the fundamental force of the current society.

The power of the patriarch of a clan is really hard to resist for a weak man like him...

"Good brother, follow me back. The master said that he was drunk that day and couldn't remember anything... I wanted to cover you up, so that you wouldn't catch a cold, and didn't want to surprise you. Now he doesn't It's your fault, you go to my house and don't investigate anything else."

Jia Rong squeezed a smile, hiding her embarrassment and persuading her.

Jia Qiang's bright eyes were even colder. After glancing at Jia Rong, she lowered her eyes and said, "Brother Rong, you didn't listen to his words to stop me last night. I will keep this in mind. But in Ningguo Mansion, I don't know." Go back again."

When Jia Rong heard this, she stomped her feet and said, "My good brother, since you still miss me, why don't you help me? If I don't invite you back today, I won't be able to live. How does he discipline me on weekdays?" It's not like you don't know, when it comes to beating your son, interrogation of thieves is not so ruthless."

Jia Qiang shook her head and said, "Go back and tell that person, just tell me what happened the night before, I won't say a word to the outside world. As long as he can control the mouths of the servants in Ningguo Mansion, that's fine. I should go, this is my home."

Jia Rong saw that it was useless to say all his nice things, so she was a little annoyed, "Brother Qiang, at least the master also raised you, but because of a misunderstanding the night before, you tore your face and forgot the kindness of raising you?"

A hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of Jia Qiang's mouth, and she said, "Jia Rong, have you forgotten that I am also the decent great-great-great-grandson of my ancestor Ning Guogong. Although my father, mother and father passed away early, I also left behind a piece of ancestral property. Now only This is a dilapidated house, where did the rest of the furniture industry go, did it disappear out of thin air?" Seeing Jia Rong blushing, he shook his head slightly and said: "I don't want those things anymore, I just treat them as if they have been in the past ten years. It's for chewing. But in the future, there is no need to mention any kindness of nurturing."

The Ning Mansion started from Jia Yan, Duke of Ning, and passed down to Jia Daihua, the second-generation capital Jiedushi, the first-class supernatural general, and Jia Daihua was handed down to the third generation, Jia Jing.

It's just that Jia Jing blindly loves alchemy and Taoism, and passed the Spyker to the fourth generation Jia Zhen early on.

This is the lineage of the Duke of Ning's family, but Jia Yan, the Duke of Ning, had four sons. Apart from Jia Daihua, who was the Duke of Ning, the other three were all descendants of the Ning State.

Jia Qiang's great ancestor is one of them.

Seeing that the words had come to this point, Jia Rong knew that it was absolutely impossible to bring Jia Qiang back. Looking at this brother who had grown up like a child, she sighed and said, "Forget it, I won't say much, let's go back left and right." A beating is enough... just a good brother, take care of yourself in the future. I'm afraid the master won't let it go... If you have any difficulties, you can come to me. Nothing else, a few taels of silver will always work Yes." As he spoke, he took out his purse from his sleeve pocket, wanting to take out some money, but he knew that Jia Qiang fled from Ning Mansion in a panic the night before, but she didn't bring much money with her.

But Jia Qiang still stopped her and said, "Brother Rong, it's not that I intend to draw a line with you and not accept your money. It's just that if we brothers keep in touch in the future, it will be rare for you to pass it back to Ningfu. Your father always spits on you. Cursing and humiliating, I don’t want to implicate you.” Paused, hesitated for a while, and said: “Brother Rong, there is one more thing I shouldn’t say. It’s just that we grew up together when we were young, and if we don’t say it, I am really worried. Last year you got married, which is a great thing. But this year, I watched with cold eyes. I saw that your father-in-law is not like a father-in-law to a daughter-in-law... Well, that's all I said, anyway, Be careful."

Jia Rong heard that, as if struck by lightning, her face turned red for a while, then blue for a while, sometimes ferocious, sometimes depressed, and finally turned dejected, turned her head and left without saying a word.

After Jia Rong left, Jia Qiang got up, first took down the sand pot, carefully drained the water from the firepit, and then walked out of the room, and saw Jia Rong's figure disappearing outside the broken door.

He sighed softly, even if he did this, as long as he bears the status of Ning Guo's decent great-great-grandson for a day, when the building collapses, it will be difficult for him to escape from being implicated.

Really hateful and annoying!

However, luckily among misfortunes, at least he kept his innocence, and he won't be the one who sang "Chrysanthemum Remnant" among the travelers through the ages.

As for what to do next, how to deal with Shameless Jia Zhen's next stumbling block, he still needs to plan.

The only fortunate thing is that the Jia family not only dominates Ningguo, but also has Rongguo to the west.
