As the capital of the Qing Dynasty, Shenjing City is not as beautiful as Yangzhou, which is leaning on the Slender West Lake, and historically it is not as good as Jinling, which is lying on the Yangtze River. However, its status is undoubtedly the number one among the cities in the world today.
In the west city of the divine capital, there are many noble mansions, including the Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion of the Jia family.
Both Ningrong and Rongfu are located on Ningrong Street, and they are adjacent to each other, with Ningguo Mansion in the east and Rongguo Mansion in the west.
The two mansions are large complexes with multiple courtyards. They are both magnificent, with halls and pavilions, towering and majestic. The trees, mountains and rocks in the two mansions all have a lush and moist atmosphere.
The Second Mansion is surrounded by some small and medium-sized houses, and many of the Second Mansion's subordinates and servants live there.
There is a small house to the west of Rongguo Mansion, which is dilapidated and lonely. This is Jia Yun's home.
Jia Yun is a side descendant of the Rongguo Mansion. Her father died early and she was raised by her mother, Bu Wuniang. The mother and son depended on each other, and their main source of income came from Bu Wuniang's needlework.
Bu Wuniang could not make much money from her needlework, and her mother and son lived in poverty, and could only make light meals every day.
In the fourth year of Red Mansion, September 15th, morning.
Young Jia Yun is staying in her small bedroom, sitting at an old small desk.
There are two books on the desk, one is "Qing Shi" and the other is "Qing Wu Ju Lu".
Inside the window, I was alone, sitting alone and meditating.
Outside the window, the sun is in the sky and the sun is shining brightly.
At this moment, Jia Yun made an important decision in her life and shouted in her heart: "I want to take the martial arts exam!"
He is a time traveler. In his previous life, he was a science and engineering student who graduated from a key university. After graduation, he worked in military research and development.
When he celebrated his thirtieth birthday, his soul suddenly traveled to the world of Red Mansions, replacing the soul of the original owner Jia Yun, and also inherited the original owner's memory.
It turned out to be the world of Red Mansions!
He was both excited and confused.
The excitement lies in the fact that time travel is so magical.
The confusion lies in the fact that although Jia Yun is a descendant of a side branch of Rongguo Mansion, she has a humble status and lives in poverty.
Moreover, although he had read the original work and watched the 1987 version of the TV series in his previous life, he did not study it in depth. Moreover, only the first 80 chapters of Cao Gong's original work were handed down, and the situation in the court in it was unclear and there were different opinions...
In this situation, he didn't know how to choose his own path.
Today is September 15th. He traveled through the world a month ago on the night of the full moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th. After a month of investigation and research, he has confirmed the fact of time travel and his golden finger.
Like most people who time travel, he also has a golden finger, but it's not a system thing, a space for farming, or a talent for cultivating immortals... these are all too mysterious.
His golden fingers are very simple. First, he has strong physical fitness, and second, he has strong memory.
In addition, he also confirmed the dynasty in which this world of Red Mansions is located. The dynasty is called Qing Dynasty!
The history of this world before the end of the Ming Dynasty was the same as his previous life. However, the historical trajectory changed at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, corruption and exploitation were serious, and natural and man-made disasters continued.
In 1629, the troops of the Later Jin Dynasty moved south in a large scale, and the capital was in a tight situation. In order to save the capital, the Ming court urgently mobilized various armies to Beijing. At this time, Li Zicheng killed the general Guo Guo and the local county magistrate in Yuzhong, and launched a mutiny.
The following year, 1630, a military general named Xia also launched a mutiny in Guangdong. This military general would later become Qing Taizu.
Taizu Qing did not suddenly launch an army. He had been preparing for this for many years and secretly collected a lot of firearms, most of which were Western firearms imported from Southeast Asia.
Qing Taizu seemed to be cheating, and the momentum after raising his troops was even stronger than that of Li Zicheng in the north.
Because he himself had great talent and strategy, possessed powerful firearms, and continued to recruit talents, including the four princes and eight princes in the future. At that time, the Ming Dynasty was restrained by the Hou Jin Dynasty, the rebel army and other forces in the north.
In just ten years, Qing Taizu led his army to capture a large area south of the Yangtze River, and captured Jinling in 1640. In the same year, he established the Qing Dynasty, and the country was named Qing, which means universal celebration.
For many years after that, the Qing Dynasty continued to conquer the world, destroyed the Ming Dynasty, and expelled Hou Jin from Shanhaiguan.
Because the Qing Dynasty had been fighting with the Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin Dynasty for many years, there was a subtle integration. Today's Qing Dynasty has some things similar to the Ming Dynasty and some things similar to the Later Jin Dynasty.
…
…
Yes, Jia Yun doesn't know how to choose his own path, so he can only take one step at a time, and what he has to do now is, of course, to quickly increase his status and power.
Combining the two golden fingers and the situation of Ningrong's second house, he decided to take the martial arts examination!
There are two types of imperial examinations: liberal arts examinations and military examinations. Generally speaking, when we talk about imperial examinations, we refer to civil examinations. In addition to liberal arts examinations, there are also military examinations.
The so-called martial arts competition, to put it simply, is to select people with martial arts skills.
The martial arts here are not martial arts. This is the world of Red Mansion, not the world of martial arts. There is no mysterious martial arts.
As early as the Wu Zhou period, Wu Zetian established martial arts examinations.
Starting from the Wu Zhou Dynasty, to the Song Dynasty, to the Yuan Dynasty, to the Ming Dynasty, and now to the Qing Dynasty, although martial arts were sometimes abolished during this period, they were still passed down.
The prosperity of martial arts was in the Ming Dynasty and the current Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty was less than a hundred years old. During this period, the martial arts system changed several times, but overall, martial arts was prosperous.
Although today's military attachés in the Qing Dynasty are still mainly from military service, followed by martial arts, those with martial arts background already account for a large proportion of the army, and civilian martial arts practitioners are flocking to martial arts.
Jia Yun has a strong memory and was a top student in his previous life, but he did not want to take the civil service examination.
He really has no interest in the liberal arts examination. He has little hope of becoming a powerful civil servant through the liberal arts examination. Even if he can do it, it will take too much time and energy, and he doesn't know how long it will take.
The martial arts exam is different. With her strong physical fitness and memory, Jia Yun's exam is not too difficult.
Moreover, both Ning Rong and Ning Rong's houses are both martial artists.
At that time, the brothers Jia Yan and Jia Yuan were both military generals. They fought with Taizu Qing in the world, and both made great contributions and were granted the title of Duke. Jia Yan was the Duke of Ning Guo, and Jia Yuan was the Duke of Rong Guo.
Rongguo Mansion.
Although both Jia Yan and Jia Yuan have been dead for many years, the current Ningrong Palace is not as good as the previous generation. From masters to slaves, there are many people who are rich and honorable, and there are no strategists. However, the lingering shadow of Ningrong Palace is still strong
!
Jia Yun's plan is to perform a "carp leaping over the dragon's gate" through the martial arts examination. Once he succeeds in the martial arts examination, he can make better use of the remaining martial arts achievements of Ning Rong's second house and rise quickly.
After making this decision, Jia Yun stood up from the desk and prepared to tell her mother Bu Wuniang about this.
Jia Yun has only traveled through time for a month, but she has already developed a sense of family affection and respect for Bu Wuniang, her mother.
Bu Wuniang is a kind woman and a good mother.
…
…
In the first eighty chapters of the original work, Jia Yun in Cao Gong's works is a positive character who is smart, eloquent, hard-working and motivated.
In the last forty chapters of Anonymous, Jia Yun's image is distorted, she does all the stupid things, and even participates in the sale of Qiao Jie.
(Note: There is some doubt that the author of the last forty chapters of A Dream of Red Mansions is Gao E, so this book uses anonymous names)
According to the evidence in the book, Jia Yun was also a positive figure in the last forty chapters. After the defeat of Ning Rong's second house, she and Xiao Hong visited the imprisoned Wang Xifeng and Jia Baoyu, and was entrusted by Wang Xifeng to participate in the rescue of Qiao Jie.
The 1987 version of the TV series was also shot in this way.
Many readers also agree with this approach.
In addition to the evidence in the lipid assessment book, there is also other evidence, such as:
Jia Yun met Ni Er when she was short of money. Although Ni Er was chivalrous, he was a rogue who specialized in lending money at high interest rates, ate his spare money in gambling establishments, and loved drinking and fighting.
Seeing that Jia Yun was worried, Ni Er took the initiative to ask Jia Yun what was wrong with him and said that he wanted to vent his anger on Jia Yun's behalf. After learning that Jia Yun was short of money, Ni Er took the initiative to lend money to Jia Yun without asking for any interest or writing a formal agreement.
.
It can be seen that Ni Er should know that Jia Yun has good conduct, otherwise he would not do this.
Jia Yun's father died young and she was raised by her mother Bu Wuniang. The mother and son depended on each other. The family was poor and most of the Jia family's children were of bad conduct...
This kind of Jia Yun can still grow up to be a good person, which shows that his mother Bu Wuniang is probably not a bad woman.
…
…
Jia Yun walked out of her small bedroom, walked through the main room, and walked into her mother Bu Wuniang's bedroom.
Bu Wuniang was sitting on the kang doing needlework.
She is of average appearance and not very old. She has just turned thirty this year, but she already looks a little old. Because life is not easy and the widow is unemployed. It is really difficult to support Jia Yun by doing needlework.
Jia Yun's appearance is quite good.
In the original work, Cao Gong's description of Jia Yun's appearance is: she has a long face and a long figure. She is really gentle and comely, but she is also very kind-faced.
The word "long" here does not refer to a horse face or a shoehorn face, but refers to good looks, while "long and tall" means tall and thin.
To sum up, Jia Yun is a handsome guy with a handsome appearance and a long figure.
If not, Xiaohong, an ambitious maid, would not have fallen in love with Jia Yun at first sight.
Otherwise, Jia Baoyu, a big-faced boy, would not have become interested in Jia Yun as soon as he saw her. He would have left Jia Yun free to just go find him, talk to him, and even take Jia Yun to play in the garden.
Jia Baoyu is a beauty-controller, and only people with good looks will interest him, regardless of gender.
In the original work, Wang Xifeng took care of Jia Yun, arranged for Jia Yun to plant trees and flowers in the Grand View Garden, and even approved two hundred taels of silver at once.
In addition to giving Wang Xifeng four ounces of borneol and four ounces of musk because Jia Yun had a sweet mouth and was good at pleasing people, it was also because he had a good appearance. If he had looked ugly or even wretched, Wang Xifeng would probably not have taken such good care of him.
Now Jia Yun is still a teenager. Although she has a delicate appearance and a long figure, she still looks immature.
"Mom, I have something to tell you." Jia Yun looked at Bu Wuniang who was working hard at needlework.
Bu Wuniang raised her head and smiled gently: "What's the matter?"
Jia Yun said: "I want to take the martial arts exam."
Bu Wuniang subconsciously heard it as "imperial examination" and was shocked: "Imperial examination? Although you have studied, you are not good at reading. You have never been interested in reading."
Jia Yun said: "It's not a liberal arts exam, it's a martial arts exam!"
Bu Wuniang was even more surprised: "Martial... martial arts?"
She stared at Jia Yun, her eyes seeming to say, "You want to take the martial arts test just because of your body?"
Strong physical fitness is one of Jia Yun's golden fingers.
Physical fitness is the basic movement ability of the human body, including strength, speed, endurance, agility, etc.
However, Jia Yun's figure did not become stronger because of this. He was still tall and thin. With his delicate face, he did not look like a martial artist.
What's more, Bu Wuniang knew that Jia Yun's physical fitness had always been not bad but not very good.
Jia Yun said: "Recently I have discovered that my body has become stronger and my memory has become stronger. I think I am suitable for participating in martial arts."
Bu Wuniang looked confused: "Really?"
This question cannot be answered verbally.
There is a camphor wood box in the bedroom. It is very large and filled with clothes. It is very heavy and weighs dozens of kilograms.
Jia Yun walked to the camphor box, first lifted it up with both hands, then put down her left hand, and used only her right hand to hold the box up. The whole process was easy and not strenuous at all.
