Red Mansions: My Book is Cool

"Brother An is not young anymore, he is three years old this year, and he can read." Wang Mingrui pouted, "The immortal uncle who saved me told me to study hard!"

Listening to the second half of Wang Mingrui's words, the smile on Lin Qing's face froze for a moment, and he asked in astonishment: "Brother An, what kind of immortal uncle?"

"Father," Wang Mingrui tried his best to imitate the child's expression: "It was when Brother An was sick. Brother An heard Father and Mother calling me, but he just couldn't wake up! Yes, walking on the dark road, trying to find parents, no one can be seen!"

There was a look of fear on his face: "Brother An was terrified, so he started crying. After crying for a long time, he saw a fairy uncle coming out in front of him."

"Brother An, how do you know this is a fairy?" Lin Qing asked hastily.

"That uncle said it!" Wang Mingrui said innocently: "He said he is the immortal of Yu Qingtian. He looks like the immortal in the painting!" He gestured with both hands: "The uncle is wearing a crown made of jade. , the clothes on his body are snow-white and snow-white, fluttering even if there is no wind, and there are lights shining behind him, in various colors, so beautiful! I seem to have seen the patterns on Uncle Immortal's clothes before."

"Well, it seems that I went to the temple with A Niang to see it!" ——The Xuanmiao Temple, a famous Taoist temple in Suzhou, is not too far from Lin's house. Chen sometimes goes for a stroll and burns a few sticks of incense.

Wang Mingrui decided early on that he would gain a foothold in this world, live a good life, and live a better life than his previous life.Therefore, first of all, do as the Romans do, study hard, take part in the imperial examination, and strive for fame.However, he is very clear that those classic articles are just his stepping stones, and he has no interest in them at all, and this is not what he is good at!

But in the future, there will always be an explanation for my various behaviors, how can I make it round?

A few days ago, I heard the gossip and gossip of the servants at home. Although the Daqing Dynasty (the dynasty of this world) also regarded itself as the supreme kingdom, it was not closed to the outside world. Its trade with foreign countries has always been quite frequent, because the court can collect money from it. A lot of business taxes.Foreign merchants used sea ships to transport spices, precious stones, rare wood, etc., and then purchased silk, tea, porcelain, and cloth, which were in short supply in foreign countries.And Jiangnan is rich in these goods, and many people have started doing business with foreign businessmen because of this, and they have made huge profits from coming and going.

Wang Mingrui asked some questions "innocently", and the servants gave answers graciously and talked about it in a hurry.

'Are they going to ship goods with foreigners? It's far away from home. Don't they miss their family members? '

——'No, Angie, the goods are sold to foreign merchants, and at most they are delivered to the southern port by themselves, and the foreign merchants transport them by themselves. '

'Then why don't they ship to foreign countries?Did the foreign merchants bring it in by themselves? '

——'Yes, but isn't that a foreign businessman who is greedy for money and spares his life?They must be poor and unbearable, so they take the risk!I heard that life at sea is difficult and the risks are great. Three or four out of ten ships will always have accidents and lose their lives at sea. It’s not that they are too poor. Who would do this? '

'I heard from shopkeeper Zhang who had dealt with them that they lived at sea all the year round, and now their boats are getting better and better, even better than ours. '

'We don't have to go out to sea to take risks, so why should we be so strong? '

'Too!I heard that some of the foreign businessmen looked similar to us, and some had yellow hair, green eyes, and long hair all over their bodies. It was scary! '

Well, Wang Mingrui can confirm.Although the Daqing Dynasty has never appeared in Chinese history, this process is familiar.The era of great European voyages is beginning, and the distant China can also feel the waves it has caused.The power of new and old begins to ebb and flow from here!

Facing history, Wang Mingrui was very excited.He wants to make a career in this era. If he can leave a mark in history, then he will live up to this time travel. This is a big goal.At worst, under such circumstances, he can also give full play to his strengths and fully demonstrate his value.In his previous life, he was a hard-working engineering student with good grades!

But the premise is that he must have enough power to protect himself.Therefore, he wants to gain fame and become an official.After that, try to enter the Ministry of Industry or related departments and show your true skills.The imperial court and the imperial court will welcome a scholar official who specializes in art, is good at making objects, and can bring great benefits to the country and the imperial court, and will not hesitate to reward them, but they will not treat a grassroots citizen with such an attitude.If it is a lower class craftsman, it will be even worse.After showing its value, if you are lucky, you will be rewarded with three melons and two dates; if you are unlucky, you may be imprisoned by greedy officials, who will take their profits, steal their names, and eat them up.Wang Mingrui does not hope that one day, he will end up like this for his crime!

This world is not fair, all he can do now is fight for fairness for himself.After being able, strive to treat others fairly.

Before obtaining merit and fame, one must hide merit and fame deeply.Fortunately, the Lin family's family background is not bad. Of course, even if they want to make money, Wang Mingrui will find a way.After the baptism of modern shopping malls, facing the relatively primitive ancient society, he has this confidence.

But how do you explain what you have mastered in the future?The protagonist in Qidian’s novels is often a person who suddenly comes to another world without relatives or reasons, and then meets friends, showing various abilities beyond the world.They tend to fabricate a reasonable identity for themselves. They are disciples of otherworldly masters, and their masters are hidden in the world. If they go out of the mountains or enter the world voluntarily due to accidents, others have no way of verifying it.But as soon as he opened his eyes, he was the son of the Lin family, spending time with his parents day and night, knowing everything.In the schools and academies of this era, there is no gentleman who can teach this kind of knowledge, nor can they themselves!As time goes by, there will always be clues left.Wang Mingrui didn't want to be regarded as possessed by a monster, so he went to kill the monster and eliminate the demon!

Therefore, after repeated weighing, Wang Mingrui made a decision, and simply fooled from the beginning!The child is silent and strange, but how can there be a complete materialist in this world?Even scholars are no exception, at most they will not be confused by witches and wizards.Otherwise, you don't believe that the emperor is called the Son of Heaven?Who dares to say this?

Among Buddhism and Taoism, Wang Mingrui decisively chose Taoist Pengci.First of all, the image of Taoism is tall and noble, and the elegant Taoist robes, crowns, and immortal bones are very desirable.Wang Mingrui felt that he had an aesthetic vision, and when he thought of the monks' earthy robes and bald heads, he felt a little terrified, thank you for not being sensitive.People in the world yearn to cultivate to become immortals, and few want to become Buddhas; secondly, Taoism is not shining, and it is low-key, and it is not tabooed by the court.In history, there have been several times when emperors destroyed Buddhas on a large scale. I have never heard of those who destroy Taoism. It is safe and will not cause trouble!In addition, Taoist practice is pregnant with early science, such as chemistry. The earliest medicine was invented by Taoist alchemy and explosion. Zhang Zhongjing and Ge Hong in history were both famous Taoist priests and outstanding practitioners. medical scientists and chemists.Among the monks, there were only famous Zen masters.

Who would have thought that a three-year-old child would fabricate such a story in order to cheat in the future. Knowing that the son changed at the age of three, the parents might accept it. That would be a catastrophe, no matter how difficult it is to turn around!

After various considerations, Wang Mingrui stood in front of Lin Qing today and took a risk.

Lin Qing was very surprised: "Yu Qingtian?" How could such a young child know about Yu Qingtian?No one has ever spoken to him?

"The immortal mentioned Yu Qingtian?" Lin Qing asked tentatively.

"That's right, he said that Yu Qingtian is his master's dojo?" Wang Mingrui asked suspiciously: "Father, what is a dojo? Who is his master?" It's okay to be ostentatious!Be low-key!

Lin Qing was silent for a while, before he asked: "The immortal talked to you, what did he say, brother An told Dad!"

Wang Mingrui nodded and said, "Yes, yes! He said that he was An Ge'er's teacher in his previous life, and he wanted An Ge'er to study hard and be filial to his parents."

"An Ge'er has never met him, but An Ge'er likes him. Father, what is the past life? Was it when An Ge'er was young? Then Father knew him?"

Lin Qing stared at Wang Mingrui without blinking, seeing his serious and puzzled expression, she was stunned for a moment: "No!"

"The fairy also said that he taught An Ge'er many things, but An Ge'er forgot. He will remind An Ge'er when he falls asleep in the future!"

He took a deep look at his son, uncertain, and said, "Since the immortal wants Brother An to study hard, Dad will enlighten you. Let's teach you the Three Character Classic first today!"

"Okay!" Wang Mingrui replied happily with a smile.

Lin Qing recited the "Three Character Classic" in front of Wang Mingrui, and asked Wang Mingrui to repeat it twice.The contents are not explained to him.Afterwards, he asked seemingly casually, "Brother Ang, do you remember?"

"Remember it!" Wang Mingrui replied, recited the "Three Character Classic" clearly, and asked Lin Qing with eager eyes seeking praise: "Father, am I correct?"

Lin Qing listened quietly in the immature and crisp child's voice.Never miss a word!He took a breath, meditating with complicated emotions, recalling what his son said just now in his mind. He had never taught An Ge'er the "Three Character Classic", and An Ge'er would not understand the meaning at all, and his memory had never been so good. It stands to reason that he could not do this at all.Then why did he suddenly seem enlightened after a serious illness?Could it be, could it be that what An Geer said was true?

He couldn't help thinking about it, An Ge'er's illness was fierce, and he was in a coma for a long time. The famous doctor he invited said that the situation was not good, and politely advised him to prepare the coffin and come for a rush.After all, an old imperial physician gave a prescription, and the blind medicinal material in it was extremely rare.He tried to ask for medicine, but he couldn't get the medicine. When he was in a hurry, his family came to report that An Geer had woken up.He hurried back home, and saw that An Ge'er was already miraculously recovered, except for his pale face, there was no trace of serious illness at all.

Could it be

There seemed to be a flash of inspiration in his mind, and his thoughts immediately cleared up. Lin Qing looked at his son with pure and admiring eyes and a smiling face, and his whole body relaxed, and his doubts disappeared.He tried his best to control his excitement, and praised gently: "Brother An has memorized very well, go play. From tomorrow, come to the study room every morning, Dad will officially enlighten you!"

"Okay, Dad, then I'll go play!" Wang Mingrui laughed happily, turned around and ran out of the study, feeling a heavy burden was lifted from his heart, and he felt relaxed.

He knew that the scene just now was Lin Qing's temptation, how could he easily believe a child's empty words?It now appears that he has initially passed the test.Wang Mingrui thought with confidence that Lin Qing would gradually accept this statement subtly and gradually become convinced day by day in the future.
