I am a traitor in the Red Mansion

The southeast has been a prosperous place since ancient times, singing songs of Yangzhou. ①

However, the most famous place on the shore of Slender West Lake is not those drunk and dreamy boats, but the Mingyue Tea House of the former Prime Minister Xu Ge, which is called Xu Xianglou by the people in Yangzhou.The tea guests are all scholars and Confucian scholars, very elegant.Even ordinary people who enjoy the scenery and swim in the lake also like to bring their children to Xu Xianglou to get a taste of books.

In the past ten years, Jie Yuan of the three phases of the township examinations have all received good news in this Mingyue teahouse, and now their inscriptions are still preserved on the east wall of the second floor, which has attracted the students in this city to develop the custom of releasing their rankings in Mingyue teahouse .

It's another year's release day.

The Mingyue Building is overcrowded, especially on the second floor. Seven or eight scholars who want to be happy squeeze a table, but there is not enough room to sit.

In the private room on the third floor, Jiang Ling could hear the voices of people calling for friends and friends downstairs. He couldn't help but find it funny, so he casually poured the cold tea in the cup into the flower pot beside him.

The old man on the opposite side stared at him several times, "No one else can see the gold belt even if they want to see it. I specially brought it to you to help you out. It's good for you, you little bastard. If you get splashed to death, let alone one of you , among the heavenly kings and fathers, I will never end with you."

This old man is old Xu Ge, the owner of the tea house.More than ten years ago, Mr. Xu Ge returned to his hometown Yangzhou after he became an official. He not only opened this teahouse, but also set up another piece of land to grow flowers, specializing in the peony called Jindaiwei.

Legend has it that Han Qi, the prefect of the Northern Song Dynasty, planted this flower, and invited Wang Anshi and other three friends to enjoy the hairpin flowers together, and finally these four became prime ministers successively.So there is a saying among the people that once the Golden Belt Wai is opened, a prime minister will be born in the city.

Jiang Ling didn't believe it, so he poured another cup of tea, "Open it once a year, is it possible that the prime minister in front died and gave way? Year after year, the dead prime minister can go around the flower garden."

While talking, he poked the golden belt several times, looked at the bright red peony and said, "It's reasonable, the four-phase hairpin is also an old calendar from hundreds of years ago. When Senior Brother Lin was elected, your flower has not been supported. What about?"

Xu Ge dragged the flowerpot to his side to protect it, "I don't know what's good!"

Jiang Ling accidentally caught a glimpse of the number above his head, the big "99", and couldn't help laughing, "I understand the teacher's intentions."

Against the sparkling water outside the window, this smile is romantic and subtle, and the spring breeze is blowing on the face.

One of the great regrets of Xu Ge's life is that his student Lin Ruhai was selected as a third-ranked candidate because he was too good-looking, and missed the number one pick.

Seeing Jiang Ling laughing like this, Xu Ge became even angrier. He stroked his beard and wanted to preach, "I always put on a show, and I smile all day long as if I want to hook up with other young ladies. A gentleman should establish the world with virtue, What's the matter with showing off these appearances."

She was quite unlucky in the first place, with fair skin, beautiful temperament, a pair of peach blossom eyes, and a smile like this.Are you rushing to be fooled?

Jiang Ling had heard these words a lot, and joked nonchalantly, "It's too bad I can't control my appearance, otherwise pinching a face with mung bean sprouts and garlic nose on top will suit your vision."

In fact, he could pinch it by himself, but he didn't think about it, why would a good-looking man be so hard to think about it, looking at his ugly face in the mirror every day, he would miss the newspaper office.

There were frequent reports of good news downstairs, but no one set foot on the third floor.

Elder Xu Ge took the opportunity to mock Jiang Ling and said, "You just have to sneer, let's see if you can still smile after a while."

On the contrary, Jiang Ling smiled even more happily, pointing to the beautiful scenery outside and said, "How many places are you at now, if you get such a place, you won't be able to laugh. Take a step back and say, if you fail the list, I will buy one Small car, come to the lake every day to sell fried sugar cakes, if you come to take care of the business, I will sprinkle two servings of sugar for you, free of charge."

It is really because of inadvertent making friends that I fell into the field of selling fried sugar cakes.

Jiang Ling is not from this place. The era he really lives in is an era of entertainment explosion. Various holographic games emerge in endlessly, updated very fast, and the degree of simulation is comparable to time travel.His little friend followed suit and started a game company, and the latest holographic game called "Dream of Red Mansions", which sells classics, is now distributing test chips.

The slogan that was played at that time was - My Red Mansion, Your Dream.

Jiang Ling laughed for 10 minutes after hearing this, and suggested friendlyly, "Hurry up and open this copy, it's too scary."

The little friend was expressionless, "Get out, this is written by my wife."

Jiang Ling couldn't help but insult the other party's love brain, "According to your current IQ, this game probably won't last a year."

"Hehe, with a mouth like you, it's a question of whether you can live to pass the level."

If the secretary hadn't come in to deliver the documents, the two would have started fighting.

The fight failed, so the two decided to settle for the next best thing, and made a bet—if Jiang Ling survived to clear the level and win the fight, the little friend had to agree to a condition, and if Jiang Ling failed to do so, he had to agree Promise each other one.

Taking advantage of the weekend, Jiangling started to go online and indulge in games.

The new generation of holographic games is simply playing games with brainwaves. It takes four or five years to clear the game, compared with the real world, it only takes one night.

It's quite a bit like "one day in the sky, one year on earth" in Journey to the West.

The character design of the game is quite good, both parents are dead, there is a house and a car, and there is a cheating Mr. Xu Ge who will be your teacher.

At this time, Jiang Ling realized that he had fallen into a trap. He thought that he would achieve power and go to the public, but he took the route of scheming, and ended up leading a house fight.

It is true that both parents died, the father is the real father, the mother is the real mother, but his mother is just an aunt, this character is a concubine, and there is a aunt in the family like a mountain.

The aunt's surname is Jia, a daughter of a concubine from the Rongguo Mansion, who married far away in the south of the Yangtze River.

According to the old servant of the family, Jiang Jia used to scold Jiang's father for being incompetent, and then began to miss the wealth of Rongguo Mansion. The famous saying is, "Even my slaves in Rongguo Mansion are richer than you!"

She also married with full expectation, hoping that her husband-in-law could jump the dragon's gate with a carp, but Jiang's father failed the imperial examination and business, and lived his small life relying on a few Zhuangzi in the family.

The younger sister Jia Min, who was waiting to be born, married Tanhualang Lin Ruhai, and she hated Father Jiang even more.

It's just that Jia Min's good looks, good background, and better husband-in-law made Jiang Jia madly jealous. There was only one thing that made Jiang Jia jealous. Min has not conceived for many years.

Before Jia Min passed away, Jiang Jia would still try to go to the Lin Mansion to be disgusted. Jia Shi couldn't bear the joy, and pretended to ask gods and Buddhas everywhere, but when anyone asked, they said they were praying for Jia Min's son.

The result of being so self-satisfied is that the dowry maid climbed into bed and became pregnant with a child. This is Jiangling's game character.

Jia Min was well-informed, and when he found out, he specially rewarded the maid with some valuables and medicinal materials, making Jiang Jia's disgusting.

In the end, the servant girl carried her aunt and died of dystocia. Father Jiang also passed away two years ago.

According to the game settings, Jiang Ling was trained by many aunts and brothers. If Xu Ge didn't see him as a reading material and took it to teach him, he would definitely not be alive today.

What's more interesting is that Elder Xu Ge also has a big apprentice—Lin Ruhai.

Jiang Jia only felt that Jiang Ling was a traitor, and climbed onto the high branch of Lin and his wife. He simply took his son, wife, and all the family property back to his hometown of Huizhou, leaving a three-way house empty for Jiang Ling. His servants are waiting for his wages.

Therefore, Jiang Lingfu was a poor man when he went online. He is a self-made young entrepreneur who is not afraid of being poor.A group of servants bought from Ren Yazi, and all of them were dismissed immediately, but the premise is that I bought you with money, and you have to redeem the money, otherwise I will send you back to Ren Yazi to find a job again.

He would definitely not accept Jia's dismissal of a servant girl and her big rewards like that.

As for the children of the family, the obedient ones stayed, and all the disobedient ones were sent to Huizhou, which is called filial piety to the aunt.

Fortunately, the plan was somewhat conscientious, and Jiang Ling accidentally found two real estate certificates of Zhuangzi in his small study, which were left to him by Jiang's father back then.

What should I do if the farmer's interest has not arrived and there is no money in the account?Except for those in his house, the family could find valuable things, such as the rosewood cases that had not been removed from my brother's house, all of which were dragged out and sold.

Elder Xu Ge and Lin Ruhai were almost scared to death, thinking that he was going to take the route of settling down. Lin Ruhai kindly sponsored Bai Huahua's 200 taels of silver and asked him to study in Ansheng.

After a big sweep in Jiangling, he calmed down and thought, if he wants to live until it is not difficult to pass the customs, he will be ruined because of the power of the government and the people.

The game is set in this dynasty. Non-jinshi can't enter the Hanlin, and non-Hanlin can't join the cabinet. It's like if you want to take the postgraduate entrance examination, you have to go to college, and if you want to go to college, you have to go to high school.

Jiang Ling, a top student who recommends high school to universities and undergraduates to graduate students: ...don't be cowardly, just do it

Elder Xu Ge carefully prepared for him five years of imperial examinations and three years of simulations, past years' three tripods Jiazhen test papers, classics and history sub-collections of massive question banks and other materials.

On the opposite side, Mr. Xu Ge was so angry at his fried sugar cake that he wanted to call him a jerk, but he couldn't help but feel unbearable when he suddenly fell silent again.After all, he is young and inexperienced, so can Xu Bingqi's apprentice fail the exam?

Jiang Ling was distracted, and when he looked up, he saw the old man looking at him with kindness and tenderness, and returned a more tender and admiring look, "Thanks to the care of the teacher and senior brothers these years, the teacher is very kind. , I will never forget it in this lifetime."

Elder Xu Ge couldn't help shivering, "Don't... talk nicely, don't come here for such a nasty thing."

It feels like a weasel giving New Year greetings to a chicken.

And from the perspective of the chicken.

A pot of tea was about to run out, and finally someone went up to the third floor to announce the good news, but the one who went to the opposite door.

A burst of cheers erupted from the opposite door, only to hear a loud howl, "Brother Fing is so talented! Don't compete with me. I will invite the brothers to Miss Linglong's painting boat tonight, how about it?"

"How can I ask you to pay for it, brother! I have to come. I have spent tens of thousands of taels of silver. Linglong's place is boring. I invite you to go to Chunfen. Water, you can play!"

The waiter in the teahouse hurriedly knocked on the door to ask them to be quiet.

Not long after, there were more good news people who went to the opposite side one after another, Jiang Ling counted secretly, there were four people in total.

The opposite side couldn't stop them any longer, the quarrel was so loud that it was the first loud voice, who knocked on the glass and sang, "I drink alone, drunk alone, drunk alone, seven or eight sister-in-laws sleep together."

"Good poetry! Great poetry! It's a pity that brother Xue didn't take part in the provincial examination." Everyone laughed.

Elder Xu Ge almost pulled his beard off, couldn't bear it anymore, and asked someone to invite them out.

The other party was very arrogant, and instead blocked their doorway to barge in to seek justice, "We are the masters of juren, you should take care of yourself! Drink here, no, drink tea! It's for your face!"

"Teacher, sit down for a while, I'll go out and have a look." Jiang Ling got up and opened the door, and said with a light smile, "What's the noise?"

He glanced casually, and saw that they all looked like playboys, well-dressed and very wealthy, the leader was a big-bodied man with a fat head, and stared at him blankly.

"Here, this young master, what is your surname Gao? I'm Xue Pan." Xue Pan pretended to cup his hands, trying to look more gentle. He was going to show some color to the ignorant teahouse owner, but he didn't want to come out The young master with picturesque features laughed until his bones were crisp.

Xue Ting made him famous on the side, "This is the son of the Jinling Emperor Xue's family, and his ancestors are Ziwei Sheren."

Oh, it turned out to be that Xue Pan, who can be considered an important NPC.

Jiang Ling saw the number above his head soaring all the way, secretly cursing this bad favorability system.

This is also one of the game's golden fingers. Everyone has a display of favorability for the player on the top of their head, which is convenient for the player to recognize the enemy and the enemy and reduce the difficulty of the game.

Facing Xue Pan's salivating eyes, Jiang Ling was very nauseous, and smiled perfunctorily, "I just heard that some of you have passed the exam, so you might as well go to the second floor and leave your calligraphy to encourage other students."

Hearing that the inscription was to be written, the dudes shrank back in embarrassment, Xue Ting said, "Is my young master's handwriting just for people to read? Let's go and drink."

Xue Pan stared at Jiang Ling reluctantly, "Why don't you come with us, young master?"

"I'll stay and wait for the results to be released, everyone go." Jiang Ling gestured toward the stairs, turning around to leave.

Xue Ting looked down on his pretense, and said with a sneer, "At this point, it's probably a waste of work."

As soon as the words fell, Jiangling's book boy Shenyan ran up the stairs panting, "The first name Jieyuan! I won! Young master, you won the first name Jieyuan!"

Before Jiang Ling could respond, Elder Xu Ge had already rushed out, "Say it again."

"Our young master has won the title of Jie Yuan! My little one, please greet the old man," Shen Yan repeated beamingly, his face full of pride, "I ran all the way without daring to take a breath."

"I've rewarded you." Elder Xu Ge threw him a purse he had prepared earlier, and patted Jiang Ling on the shoulder, "Good boy, you didn't embarrass me."

Seeing this, Xue Pan also came to congratulate Jiang Ling, and took the opportunity to mention the matter of making friends again. The last person suddenly muttered a few words, stepped forward and asked Jiang Ling, "How much did you buy your Xie Yuan?"

Xue Ting hurriedly pulled him back, "You're blind again, you haven't sobered up from yesterday's drink, have you?"

"You guys are joking." Jiang Ling seemed to have a good temper, his face didn't change, and deep in his heart, he was already greeting the relatives of the other party's first household registration.

You bought your Jieyuan, your family Jieyuan bought it, and your ancestors’ [-]th generation Xieyuan were all bought.

Elder Xu Ge felt that he had grown stronger if he hadn’t suffered a stroke today, and shouted, “They’re all dead, hurry up and drive them away, firecrackers!”

When the students downstairs heard that the new Xie Yuan was upstairs, they all came up to pay a visit to He Xi, and the dudes didn't wait for anyone to shout, and took the opportunity to squeeze through the crowd and leave.

The crowd urged Jiang Ling to go down and write an inscription. Jiang Ling pondered for a long time, and finally wrote a sentence, "Professional skills are based on diligence, and barrenness is related to playfulness."

It was so lively that it was only at night that they could calm down and talk, and they didn't change places, and they still served wine in this Mingyue Tea House.

The author has something to say: Little friend: It’s not good if the game is too difficult. In the holographic palace fight next door, 99% of the players died in the first episode, and finally the studio closed down.
