[Red Mansions] The Road to Empress Dowager

The next day, Jia Huan greeted Jia Zheng, answered his inquiries, and went to the courtyard where Jia Baoyu lived.In the name of lending him a book, he was actually looking for Xiren.

But Jia Huan saw Qingwen, a pretty maid, who looked not bad like Tanchun, Jia Huan couldn't help feeling a little warm, thinking that Jia Baoyu's Tom Su was really lucky.

After probing and asking, I was shocked to hear that Xiren was kicked out of the mansion!In fact, Xiren had given him a lot of money over the years. Baoyu had always been loose-handed, and his rewards of gold and silver all year round were kept by Xiren. In the past, Xiren loved to send them home, but later most of them were given to him.He secretly hid it for several years, so that Zhao Guoji almost exchanged it into a bank note, and took it with him when he went to the south of the Yangtze River for scientific examinations.

Otherwise, relying on the 200 taels of silver from the mansion would not be enough. Xisuo’s achievements over the years would give him five or six hundred taels, plus the 600 taels made up by Aunt Zhao, the twelve taels stolen by Caiyun, and the ones given to him by Jia Lian. 50 taels, Tanchun gave 50 taels, and he rented a yard in Jinling to study hard to prepare for the exam so as not to be in hardship.He dared not live in the ancestral house in Jinling, for fear of being plotted against by his servants.

Xiren made a great contribution to his scientific research, and Jia Huan couldn't help thinking about his old love in modern times. Although he couldn't marry her as his first wife, he would always marry her as his second wife.From the perspective of a man's inferiority, she is his modern woman, and he doesn't want her to be taken over by others.

Xiren was doing embroidery and chatting with his mother and nieces in the house, when someone knocked on the door outside, Hua Zifang went to open the door.Not long after, a young man and a follower were welcomed in.

When Xiren saw the young man, he couldn't help saying, "Jiahuan, are you back?"

Jia Huan's complexion changed slightly, and he said, "I just came back and heard about you, so I came to see you, are you all right?"

Mother Hua saw that Jia Huan was fair and handsome, with a hint of nobility on her body, so she didn't dare to neglect her, and hurriedly asked him to have tea.

Jia Huan grew up in the countryside in his previous life, so he didn't dislike him, he took a cup of tea and drank it, and after drinking the tea, he said: "Long time no see, come out with me to talk."

Huamu and Hua Zifang looked hesitant, but Huamu actually knew that her daughter had been broken by the second master Bao, and now she did not agree to marry at will at home. There is hope.

……

Xiren followed Jia Huan into the city in a carriage, and found a teahouse to continue the conversation.When Xiren heard that Jia Huan had won Juren, he was also very happy, and finally the investment was not in vain.

Jia Huan asked again: "Didn't we travel through the original "Dream of Red Mansions"? Is it the fandom world written by modern people?"

Xiren retorted: "Why do you think so?"

Jia Huan thought about all kinds of things, and said: "Lin Ruhai didn't die, but came to Beijing to become an official. It's fine that Jia Yuanchun wasn't concubine. I heard that the eldest daughter of the Xing family was concubine."

Xiren sighed: "You forgot, who we saw after we died, we are not the only ones entering the space-time tunnel."

Jia Huan asked in surprise, "You mean...Xin Xiuyan and that old man who treats Xin Xiuyan very well?"

Xiren said: "My Huazhun has become Huazhu, why can't Xin Xiuyan become Xing Xiuyan? Lin Ruhai is not dead, I guess that old man is Lin Ruhai's soul. So Xing Xiuyan and Lin Daiyu became sworn sisters. It went well. Moreover, I also met Xin Xiuyan, she personally admitted that Lin Ruhai was reborn."

Jia Huan murmured: "Xin Xiuyan...she became the emperor's favorite concubine..."

Xiren smiled strangely and said, "You can't be reluctant to part with her! I believe that you can be an official, but I don't believe that you can snatch a woman from the emperor. I even thought about you rebelling and becoming the emperor. I can be a concubine, but rebellion and so on are all seven-point men’s desires/obscenities, and it doesn’t work at all. This is the Han Dynasty, the world is still considered peaceful, and you don’t know martial arts. We modern people are more afraid of seeing blood than ancient people .”

Jia Huan said: "When did I say that I wanted to be an emperor? What's so good about being an emperor? There is no feudal dynasty that is always strong and powerful. In China, only the Confucius family has been passed down from generation to generation for 2000 years. To be rich and educated knows how to advance and retreat. It’s safer to be in a family than to be a royal family. It’s just that if Xin Xiuyan knows about the two of us, I don’t know if it will be against us.”

Xiren said: "She really wants to take revenge. She just dumped us in the space-time tunnel. Now, why does she want to?"

At that time, it was not as simple as death to dump them. They were souls, so I was afraid that they would be scattered.Due to various past experiences, Hua Zhenzhu has mixed feelings about Xin Xiuzhen.She used to stick to her duty and get nothing, her talent was no match for others, her background was no match for others, and she only gained achievements by abandoning her morality and approaching her friends without defense, but in the end, her friend saved her because of her morality.

And in ancient times, she found that if she didn't talk about morality, no one would talk to her about morality, but if she only talked about benefits, her status would have no capital.Why is life so contradictory?

Not many people naturally want to be villains and villains, but being a good person is really hard.What she hates about Xin Xiuyan is that she seems to be able to be a good person with ease. She seldom bothers to quarrel with other people's trivial matters. She is heartless, but she just can't do it.Or she is not heartless, but if someone provokes her, she likes to hit them in the face with her professionalism at work, but if she finds that the person who provokes her is more professional than her, even though others have offended her, she will still Go make friends with her or him, most of them will become good friends.Xin Xiuyan's style of life and work is what she hates the most, she doesn't look like a woman.

She really wanted to take off Xin Xiuyan's face and let her see that Xin Xiuyan was actually the same as her inside, but the result disappointed her.

Jia Huan sighed: "I didn't expect her to be the first one. But she will become the emperor's concubine. Don't you women pursue a couple for life?"

Xiren sneered: "You do understand, but the reality is, will you men give it? Even you, a modern person, knows the progress of civilization and the darkness of this feudal and backward marriage system, but the slack nature in men's bones is that you will give it to me whenever you have a chance. The harem is harvested widely, let’s enjoy the meat under the crotch. The left and right women can’t resist fate now, and they don’t have a single heart. It’s better to marry the most powerful person in the world and get the glory that you can’t get elsewhere.”

Jia Huan was a little ashamed when Xiren exposed a man's slackness in such a naked way, and couldn't help laughing sarcastically: "It's a pity, you can't be a concubine. Who told you to be a servant girl, or be played by Jia Baoyu?" Maid, you should be grateful if I can have you."

Xiren said angrily, "Jia Huan, we are a cooperative relationship!"

Jia Huan said: "I will still do what I promised you, but you also have the duty to be a concubine. I used to be with Jia Baoyu in water/milk/communication/melon, I thought it was because of my status. If you hook up with each other, I will have to divorce you."

Xiren felt a great humiliation, but if he didn't marry Jia Huan, he would be marrying an actor and a farmer. Not only would he have no hope in his life, but his children would also be lowly and humble. This is the reality in ancient times.

"I also hope that you will fulfill your promise as soon as possible."

Jia Huan said: "When I marry a famous lady in high school, I will naturally accept you. Just wait."

The two talked for a while, then took their leave and parted. Xiren rented a car to go home, but couldn't help weeping on the road.

Why did she have such a hard life, she suddenly regretted it, all the seeds were planted by herself.

If she hadn't been blinded by jealousy for a while, lost her temper, betrayed her friend, and slept with her friend's boyfriend without self-love, she might still be innocent in modern times.Even if she really crossed over and was played by fate, she was still an attacker. Even if she couldn't compete, Xin Xiuyan would still be her golden thigh.She can take care of two adopted sisters whom she knew in ancient times, but doesn't she, an old classmate in modern times, take care of some?

If it weren't for the world's own rules and ethics, where status determines everything, why would she compete to be Jia Huan's concubine?Posted upside down, men always want to be contemptuous.

She cried for a long time, but she was thinking about how to get married without being a peasant woman or being bullied by scumbags.Jia Huan is not a good man, but at least he doesn't hit women, and he will more or less satisfy her reasonable demands for those who are useful to him.

If the status is not much lower than Jia Huan, where can I find a man who can be a regular wife and respect her in ancient times?In fact, I found it. Why would this kind of man choose her?

Is it beautiful?She is beautiful, otherwise she would not have become Jia Baoyu's prostitute, but there are many people in Jia's mansion who are more beautiful than her.Maybe she is a time-traveler, and she is only slightly inferior to Qingwen in terms of looks, but she is much inferior to Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, and Jia Tanchun, and her temperament is not as good.

The original owner just came from a poor family, although he has a lot of scheming, but he has no poems and books in his stomach, unlike Xing Xiuyan who has been with Miaoyu for ten years and can write poems in the original work.Xi Xin thought back then that his grades and appearance were slightly inferior to Xin Xiuyan, that is to say, his family background was better than hers, so he was never convinced in his heart.But now the time travel situation is so different, the fate is so unfair.

How the attacker failed and I will not elaborate.

……

But she said that Daiyu would leave after only a few days in Jia's mansion, but she couldn't refuse because Jia Min died ten years ago in the twelfth lunar month.Daiyu has the filial heart to go to the monastery to eat fast and copy scriptures for her mother for three days. For this reason, she can't even attend Xing Zhong's birthday.

Daiyu went back to the scholar's mansion for a day, and Mrs. Sun had already prepared things for her to be sent to the people. On the second day, the mighty maids, nurses and mother-in-law took four carriages, and there were four more scholars' mansions. Nursing escort.

The nurses of these four bachelor's residences are not very old, and Lin Ruhai treats them very well on a daily basis, because they are all rivers and lakes or martial arts masters from all over the country, and they will participate in the first martial arts competition in the reign of Emperor Qianyuan next spring.

Martial arts are not as detailed as literary ones, and the localities will come up layer by layer. Instead, after the spring of next year, the registered martial arts masters will be hunted north with the saints, and various competitions will be held in the paddock. , Feng Tang, Marquis of Shenwu.

The sage is good at martial arts, and it is known all over the world. Not only are there many legends, but he is different from the previous emperors. He treats soldiers more favorably, and the whole world knows it.The aspiring warriors in the arena can't help but also want to make contributions and change their destiny, even if they become soldiers, they can get some salary.

In Lin Ruhai's Bachelor's Mansion Recruitment and Nursing Center, these martial artists from all over the world rushed to sign up. After all, even if they go out in modern times, they have to spend money and have no place to stay.After entering the scholar's mansion, there are monthly rules and a place to live. Bachelor Lin doesn't despise warriors, and treats the few warriors he recruits very politely.

Tiekan Temple has also received news that the eldest lady of the scholar's mansion, the righteous sister of the imperial concubine "He Yuxian Jun" will come to the temple to fast and copy the scriptures for the imminent death of the deceased mother, and the Buddhist temple where the noble ladies live has already been cleaned up. .

There have been nuns and maidservants who have arranged the Zen courtyard warmly and comfortably. The three-bedroom couple took turns guarding the Zen courtyard, and those guardians also lived in the temple, but they were more free, unless there was a message from the eldest lady.

Daiyu stayed overnight, and was accompanied by four nuns to the Daxiong Hall for morning lessons, and then went back to the Zen room to copy and add scriptures.
