Chapter 1: The Mystery of Entering the Red Chamber
"Brother Xin, I brought you peach blossom cakes. This time, you can't cheat!"
Beijing, Ningrong Street, peach blossoms spread in March.
In a small courtyard, a little girl dressed very delicately, kicking on her short legs, followed by a little maid, ran in panting.
Recipe, Shining.
Under the peach tree in March, there stood a child. He was wearing very ordinary clothes. The jacket on his body had been washed away by starch and had lost its original color. It was nothing more than keeping warm and keeping out the cold. The child's face was rosy, and he did not suffer from the cold air of early spring.
.
As soon as he saw the little girl, the child's eyes lit up and he licked the corners of his mouth. Apparently he was greedy for that peach blossom cake!
"Sister Xichun, run slowly, don't fall!"
The little girl is none other than Xichun, the eldest daughter of Duke Ning's family.
The child under the tree is an alien visitor, a prophet who knows the direction of the world.
The child raised his head and looked at the blue sky through the peach blossoms, his eyes a little sad.
If nothing unexpected happens, twelve years later, the eldest girl who was sent to the Daming Palace will be awarded the title of noble concubine. The Jia family's popularity will reach its peak, and it can be said that flowers are cooked in brocade and fire oil.
After that, the Jia family turned from prosperity to decline, and the three springs were gone. Thousands of reds cried, and thousands of beauties shared the same sorrow. A noble nobleman of the principality finally ended up in a vast white land. The earth was so clean, and the stubborn stones that patched the sky failed to save the sky.
Fairy Jiangzhu died after shedding tears. Her jade belt hung in the forest and her golden hairpin was buried in the snow.
"Brother! Is that Nangong Pushe really that beautiful?? Do you think that if our Dakang family made a rouge ranking, would I be on the list?"
"And that old Huang? Isn't he a fool? He has a horse but doesn't ride it. He has to walk by himself. It feels so strange!"
"And there's more..."
As soon as Xichun walked over, a series of questions came out like a barrage of questions. Her eyes were bright, full of curiosity and joy.
Jia Qi, a branch of the Jia family, is an inconspicuous junior in the large Jia family. After Rong Guogong and Ning Guogong were granted the title, the street where they lived was named Ningrong Street.
, there are hundreds or even thousands of people in the family branches who rely on the two princes to make a living, and among the branches, only Jia Qin, Jia Qiang, and Jia Yun were the last to show their faces, and most of them were even
No face was shown.
This thing sounds incredible, but in ancient times, it was very realistic. Even now, this kind of family relationship still exists in some places, and most of the branches and collateral families are proud of the main family as the head.
.
It is said that the ancestors planted trees, and the descendants enjoy the shade. This is especially true for the Jia family. With such a big tree as Mr. Ning Rong, most people named Jia want to come and enjoy the shade. It is just human nature.
Besides, Jia Qi himself is a descendant of Jia Yan, the Duke of Ning State. If he is ranked here, he is already a relative of the third server.
I don't know what he committed at that time, and he participated in the struggle for the throne. Unfortunately, the protection of his ancestors did not protect him. He could not become a Taoist priest in a Taoist temple, but was directly eliminated by humanism. After his death, he died in the ancestral hall.
There isn’t even a tablet in the middle, because they are afraid of violating taboos.
I heard that he was just delivering a mild message to his direct lineage masters, and he ended up in such a tragic end. Of course, it was not just his family that ended up in this situation, there were more than a dozen families.
That's how I got involved.
The masters of the direct line shrank and went to the Xuanzhen temple in the capital to become Taoist priests. Most of the branch lineage became scapegoats to appease the anger of the emperor.
Jia Qi's biological mother was a concubine. After the incident, the emperor's guillotine fell and his heads rolled. All the people who died were his direct lineage. He who had not yet been born was considered to have escaped. In the end, Jia Jingxu did it for peace of mind.
When he heard that there was such a person like him, he asked Jia Zhen to take him over and live temporarily in a small courtyard near Ningrong Street.

Relying on the support from the Ning Mansion to live a hard life. Actually, it is not entirely correct to say it is hard. At least I can eat a white flour bun every meal. In this world where people can starve to death from time to time, it is still good! But in comparison
The wealth of Yu Ning Mansion and Rong Mansion is like heaven and earth.
Fortunately, unlike Jia Qin and others, he has a very good mentality and is not dazzled by this colorful world. He is too lazy to eat and does not learn well at a young age. He follows the little Jia Rong to crawl into the fence of the tile roof.
His biological mother passed away due to overwork the year before last. Jia Qi had very complicated feelings about his biological mother. She was a woman from a small family. They say that marrying a virtuous wife is a good thing. Taking a concubine depends on your appearance, so you will naturally look good as a concubine.
She came from an official family with a family of farmers and scholars, but because her father was corrupt and was plotted by his political opponents, she ended up with a broken family. As her daughter, the end was naturally not easy, and she was forced to live in the Jiaofang Division.
His cheap dad who often visited flower houses saw it and bought it for fifty taels.
Regarding this matter, Jia Qi was a little speechless. It was so outrageous that his mother opened the door for him. It was so outrageous.
But the fact is that in ancient society, people buying and selling like this could be seen everywhere, and it was not an isolated case. Just like Xiang Ling, he was also forcibly bought back by Xue Pan, and he even lost his life because of it.
The advantage of studying heirlooms is to understand the truth, understand the general principles, and understand the writing.
When he was three years old, his mother enlightened him. He was born with knowledge, and with the soul of two lifetimes superimposed, he had a very strong learning ability. In just three months, he understood everything his mother had learned. However, he was afraid of being too much.
He was so shocking that he always hid his clumsiness. Even so, his mother was very pleased when she saw him.
When he was four years old, he unintentionally learned the truth about the world. In his dream, he was greedy for pleasure, and before he woke up from the Dream of Red Mansions, he was reduced to a human being at the end of the world. Facing the butcher's knife more than ten years later, he finally felt nervous.
In this era, if you want to get ahead, there are two ways, one is to study for the imperial examination, and the other is to join the army. Compared with joining the army and just hanging your head on your belt to gain fame, the imperial examination is undoubtedly a better choice.
After that, he went to read some of the books collected by his mother, but most of them were poems. After all, it was useless for women to study in those universities. After he finished reading these, he went to a bookstore opened by a clan on the street.
Reading, in fact, it stands to reason that the Jia family comes from a distinguished family, and no one likes reading. But don’t forget, there is an alternative in the Jia family. Jia Zheng, the second son of Jia Daishan, loves these things. In order to satisfy his own selfish desires, he spent his own money to get them.
A shop.
After he reported his surname, the clerk in the store didn't bother him. Who didn't know that Jia Zheng was a nerd who loved writing? It took a lot of effort for the clan to produce a junior who likes to read. If he found out, the little guy would go to school.
If someone makes things difficult for him, isn't that a slap in the face?
So Jia Qi stayed in this relationship for five years, until one night, a scripture called "Da Huang Ting" appeared in his mind, which gave him new ideas.
The ending was just like now. He told a story to the little girl in front of him. As Jia Qi told it vividly, the two little maids were so absorbed in listening that no one noticed that a clear light flashed away from his fingertips.
