The antique room is decorated with lights and colorful decorations. The red candle on the candlestick has a double happiness printed in gold and powder, which makes it look festive.

Jia Rong, who had just woken up from the bed, was a little panicked. He could clearly feel that there was someone else in the bed besides himself.

Where is this?

What happened last night?

He closed his eyes and thought about it. Last night... he was drunk a lot at Xingyao KTV. I entered the room in a daze, and there was a woman sitting next to the bed, wearing a red wedding dress and a red silk hijab.

"Is this a special service arranged by Sister Chen?"

Something is wrong. Based on his many years of experience, the feeling after sobering up is completely different... This special service is too dedicated and too real.

Just at this time, the person in bed turned over, and a soft and timid voice came: "Master, are you awake?"

I was a little drunk last night, and the candlelight in the room was not bright, so I couldn't see the woman's face clearly.

When he turned his head and looked around, he saw a man with icy muscles and jade bones. Even his hairpin and messy temples could not hide his orchid-like temperament.

For a moment, I couldn't take my eyes away from the woman's face.

The woman's cheeks turned red with embarrassment and she sat up. Outside her bellyband was a pair of narrow and slender white jade hands. She nudged him shyly and said, "It's time to get up."

She looked like a shy little woman, which made him feel uncomfortable.

"Are the lord and madam still waiting? Don't make trouble..." The woman gently pushed away Jia Rong's mischievous hand and called out again, "Baozhu."

Two little maids aged fourteen or fifteen came in from outside the house, each carrying a basin of water. He was startled, and he sat up and hugged the quilt tightly.

Why did two little girls come in? What do they want?

This is illegal, you know?

One of them laughed boldly and said: "Last night, we were outside the door and listened to the whole night of ravings about double eyelids, dragons, bears, dragons and dolphins, and prosthetics that will turn you into a younger brother. How can you be so shy now?"

Another said: "My wife sent Miss Yindie early to ask if grandma is up. She is anxious to see her daughter-in-law."

The former one should be talking about double eyelids and augmentation... and so on. What is the latter one talking about?

At this moment, he himself was confused.

The woman got off the bed, washed and changed clothes under the service of the maid, and told the two girls: "The Ning Mansion is no better than the Qin Family. The people in the inner courtyard are all the ladies who have been ordered to do so. You must behave yourself everywhere, and don't let your master disgrace you." Faced."

It was at this time that the word 'Ningfu' in the woman's mouth was like an invisible key, opening the door to his memory. Many memory fragments came to mind, none of which were his original memories.

Dayan Kingdom, Jia Family, Ningguo Duke's Mansion... Jia Rong, the son of the third grade majestic general Jia Zhen?

In this memory that suddenly appeared, he turned out to be Jia Rong in the world of "A Dream of Red Mansions", the eldest nephew of the Ning Mansion of the protagonist Baoyu, and the unlucky husband of Qin Keqing in The Twelve Hairpins of Jinling?

Jia Rong looked at the woman and shouted tentatively: "Can you please?"

Before Qin Keqing could respond, the two maids clearly heard the name "girlfriend" and just lowered their heads and snickered, causing the woman to glare shyly.

Dying, dying, dying.

She was shocked not only by Qin Keqing's beauty, but also by her own identity. Suddenly I remembered two sentences from the original work:

"Love in the sky, love in the sea, and love in the body are illusory. When love meets, it will lead to lust."

"Those who crawl on ashes crawl on ashes, and those who raise a brother-in-law raise a brother-in-law."

Among the many interpretations, the person who raised the brother-in-law has not been determined, but most believe that climbing ashes refers to Jia Zhen and Qin Keqing.

Grass is a plant and a color.

Searching the memories in my mind, have I traveled through time?

Who would it be bad to travel through time? It just happened to be Jia Rong, a pitiful and hateful hapless guy.

Where is Ning Mansion?

Some people say that only the two stone lions at the entrance of Ning Mansion are clean.

Even the merchants who sell antiques in Duzhong know that Jia Jing, the grand master of Ning Mansion, only likes to burn elixirs and refine mercury. He doesn't care about anything else. He only spends time with Taoist priests outside the city. The house was turned upside down, and no one dared to take care of him.

Qin Keqing urged again: "Master, please get up."

stand up?

Now he just wants to die and travel through time again.

Just looking at Qin Keqing's worried and anxious eyes, I felt unbearable for a moment.

What a beautiful person!

Jia Rong admitted that her heart was beating abnormally fast at this moment.

It's like knowing that pufferfish is poisonous and may lead to death if eaten, but everyone still wants to eat it.

Isn’t it because it tastes delicious?

This principle holds true in Jia Rong's current situation.

Puffer fish is delicious, but if someone wants to snatch the puffer fish from your bowl and give you a hat, the situation is different.

It's a pity that "A Dream of Red Mansions" was only read a few times when I was a student. Not to mention the plot, I can only remember a few main characters in the book. I just remember that Mrs. Qin died a few years after she got married. Later, there was a concubine in the family, and then the house was ransacked not long after.

I don’t know what happened to Jia Rong in the end.

As for the other members of the Jia family, they didn't have much impression. I haven't finished reading "Dream of Red Mansions" in its entirety, and it's so long apart that it would be nice to remember the names of a few main characters.

I don’t have as profound a knowledge as other time-travelers, so the only book I’ve read in the past few years is “The Selected Works of Mao”. How difficult it is to change your destiny with the knowledge you gave back to your teacher that long ago!

Sighing softly, he finally got up from the bed.

Today should be the second day of the wedding of Jia Rong and Qin Keqing. According to ancient rituals, the newlyweds need to say good morning to their parents and serve tea with their own hands.

Now that I have reached this point, I can only take one step at a time.

After washing up under the service of the maids, he left the east courtyard and came to the main hall of Ning Mansion. He saw only two people sitting in the hall. A middle-aged man with a solemn face in his late 40s, and a graceful woman in her twenties and thirties.

The other maids lined up.

Jia Rong and Qin Keqing politely said good morning and served tea.

The woman took Mrs. Qin's little hand and came to the maids, introduced her as the mistress of Grandma Rong, and ordered several maids and women in charge of the inner courtyard to pay their respects to Mrs. Qin one by one.

Jia Rong stared straight at Jia Zhen in the hall, because the old pervert was looking at Qin's figure in a daze, which reminded him of the word "climbing ashes" again.

They were talking about confiscating Lao Sepi's crime tools.

I want to search for Jia Zhen's final ending from my memory, but I have no clue at all. Instead, the content from another book came directly to my mind.

"Men are generally subject to three systematic powers, namely: the national system of a country, a province, a county and even a township; the family system of ancestral halls, branch ancestral halls and even heads of households..."

"Where the peasant association is powerful, the clan chiefs and those who manage the temple funds no longer dare to oppress the descendants of the clan or erode the temple funds. The bad clan chiefs and managers have been eliminated as local tyrants and evil gentry."

What?

What?

Jia Rong was panicking. Was he going to establish a farmers' association? Don't dare to think about it anymore.

I don't have such noble sentiments, and Jia Rong is also a vested interest, so I can't beat myself up.

From the corner of her eye, Jia Zhen saw Jia Rong shaking his head before she realized what was happening. She reluctantly looked away from Qin Keqing and said, "Your master is going back to Xuanzhen Temple today and asked An to escort him."

Only then did Jia Rong remember this old man who often practiced alchemy and immortality in a Taoist temple outside the capital. This old man was not only the only Jinshi master in the Jia family, he was also Jia Zhen's biological father and the former patriarch of the Jia family clan.

Is it feasible for Grandpa Jia Jing to take charge of the lawless Jia Zhen in Ning Mansion?

Jia Rong doesn't want to follow the old path of being forced to be a cuckold in the book.
