The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 1 Entering Beijing
In the evening, the setting sun slanted on the earth, as if covering the earth with a golden coat.

Although it was evening, the weather in September was still hot. Mu Xu rode on the horse, covering the sun with his hands, and looked at the faintly visible city wall of Shenjing in the distance.

Finally arrived, thinking about the past two months of running around, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

He turned his horse's head and brought the two guards around him to a carriage behind him.

The guard next to the carriage, seeing Mu Xu, hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, "I have seen the prince".

Mu Xu didn't reply, but raised his hand slightly, signaling that they don't need to be polite, then rode to the side of the carriage, knocked on the window,

"Mother, I can already see the east gate of Shenjing City."

After a while, the curtain of the carriage was lifted from the inside, and I saw a bright little girl in her [-]th or [-]th year, sticking her head out and smiling slightly,
"Hongxiu met the son, the princess said she knew, and asked the master if he wanted to come in to freshen up."

Mu Xu replied, "We're almost at Shenjing, so what's the point of washing up? I'm not your girl's family. I'll talk about it when I get back to the mansion."

As the celebrity beside Mu Xu's mother, Hong Xiu is not afraid of Mu Xu, so she immediately retorted,
"What did the prince say, isn't he going to the capital soon? Don't you have to wash and dress up? Along the way, the prince has a carriage instead of a ride, and he wants to ride a horse. His face is tanned. When he returns to the palace, Mrs. Concubine must blame us servants for not taking good care of you."

"Hey, what am I supposed to do? When I see grandma, I will have my own say." Mu Xu couldn't bear to argue with the little girl, and after saying this, he turned his horse's head and drove forward again.

Looking at the faintly visible city gate in the distance, and thinking about the strange experience in this life, Mu Xu also lamented the impermanence of the world.

In his previous life, he was one of the numerous beings in Blue Star, and his life was ordinary, and there was nothing special about him.Because I am nearly thirty-five years old, I have not married a wife and had children, and I was urged by my parents and sister. I really couldn't bear the bombardment at home, so I hid in my hometown in the countryside.

Because the house in the country has not been lived in for a long time, there are dust and cobwebs everywhere, so he can only clean it first.When tidying up the bookshelves, he saw all kinds of famous books he bought before, so he flipped through them, but he didn't know that when he woke up at night, he had changed his world.

When he woke up again, he had become a two-year-old child in this world.At the beginning, he was naturally not used to it in various ways, missing his relatives in the previous life, and missing the modern life.But I tried my best, but I couldn't find the way back, so I gradually got used to it.

Fortunately, he was only two years old at the time, and the various abnormalities on his body were also considered to be the curiosity of children.Except for the noise in the house at the beginning, when he got used to it, he gradually became quiet.

He grew up slowly later, and after learning about his life experience in this life and the situation in this world, he couldn't help being dumbfounded.

In this life, his surname was Mu, his first name was Xu, and he came from a distinguished family. His great-grandfather was named Mu Shi, who was the founding hero of the Great Chu Dynasty.Because of his outstanding achievements, he was named the King of Dongping County, responsible for guarding Liaodong for generations, and his father, who has been passed down to his life, is already the third generation.

And his mother in this life was born even more noble, she was the dignified princess, the royal family chose to marry with his family in order to win over the Mu family who had a lot of troops in their hands.

Fortunately, his father Mu Jing is a decent man and has no bad habits. He is very affectionate with his mother, Princess Changning, Tu Sushuang.As he grew up, he had never seen two people with red faces. Even the father's two side concubines were arranged by his mother.

As the only seedling of four generations in the family, it can be imagined that from childhood to adulthood, from grandma to mother, the love and affection for him cannot be overstated.Even if he said he wanted the moon in the sky, as long as they could do it, they would probably try their best to take it off for him.

Fortunately, he has the memory of his previous life after all, so he has followed the rules since he was a child, studying and practicing martial arts without interruption.If it were a normal child who grew up under this kind of pampering, he would definitely become a playboy.

At first, he just thought that he had traveled to the ancient times in parallel time and space.But when he was ten years old, when he went to Beijing with his mother to celebrate his grandmother's fiftieth birthday, he realized that he was wrong.

Originally, as the son of a vassal king, especially a vassal king with a foreign surname, according to the rules of the court, after he was born, he and his mother should stay in the capital.In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to be used as a hostage in the capital to check and balance the father who has a heavy army outside.

However, his mother was also a princess of the current dynasty, and was deeply loved by the emperor, so she couldn't help loving her grandson.Unable to resist his daughter's begging, the emperor temporarily softened his heart, and agreed that Mu Xu could go to Liaodong with his mother to reunite with his father before he was sixteen years old.It is said that because of this incident, there was an uproar in the court at that time, and in the end it was under the pressure of the emperor that the civil and military ministers reluctantly opened their eyes and closed their eyes.

Speaking back, when he followed his grandmother at his grandmother's birthday banquet, when he heard about Princess Beijing and Princess Nan'an, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.Until his grandmother asked him to greet an elder and introduced her identity as Taijun Shi of Rongguo Mansion, he had a guess in his heart.

After the birthday banquet was over, he found the history books and studied them all night.It was finally confirmed that he was not mistaken, he had indeed transmigrated into a well-known book in his previous life, "A Dream of Red Mansions".

The history of this world, before the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, was roughly the same as in the previous life, and then turned a corner.

In the history here, Yelu Deguang, Emperor Taizong of the Liao Dynasty, captured Bianjing, and after being captured, he was promoted to the empress.He did not choose to strike and return to the north because of the armed resistance of the Han people in various parts of the north and died of illness on the way.Instead, he suppressed resistance from all over the place, and finally pacified the North.And five years later, he sent troops to the south, unified the north and the south, and established a unified dynasty, Daliao.

When it was passed to Liao Daozong Yelu Hongji, the Chongyuan Rebellion occurred in the Liao Kingdom, and history took another turn here. Yelu Hongji died in the rebellion, and the Liao Kingdom was in chaos.

Taking advantage of the civil strife in the north of the Liao Kingdom and being overwhelmed with the south, Tu De, a powerful Han Chinese in the south, revolted against the Liao Dynasty, and quickly gained the support of the powerful landlords of the Han nationality in the south.In the following year, he rebuilt Kang as Jinling Mansion, established his capital here, and then established Dachu.

In the next ten years, he conquered the north from the south, and finally destroyed the Liao Kingdom, and was known as the Taizu of Chu in history.

In the process of following the Taizu of Chu to fight against the Liao Dynasty, the twenty-four people who contributed the most were the later four kings, eight princes and twelve princes.

The four kings are Mu Shi, King of Dongping County, Huo Jun, King of Nan'an County, Jinpeng, King of Xining County, and Shui Ji, King of Beijing County.

Eight Dukes are, Jia Yan, Duke of Ning, Jia Yuan, Duke of Rong, Niu Qing, Duke of Zhen, Liu Biao, Duke of Li, Chen Yi, Duke of Qi, Ma Kui, Duke of Zhi, Xiaoming, Duke of Xiu, and Shi Xiu, Duke of Shan. (Note 1)

The twelve princes will not be listed for the time being, and it is said that after the establishment of the Great Chu, the Taizu of Chu established Jinling as the capital, unified the north and the south after eleven years, and ordered the four kings to guard the southeast, northwest borders.

After the death of Taizu, he passed on to Emperor Taizong. Taizong of Chu was as good as his father in martial arts. He made many northern expeditions to the remnants of the grasslands of the Liao Kingdom, and finally wiped out the Khitan tribe.Later, the capital was moved to Luoyang and renamed Shenjing to facilitate the control of the north and the south.

Today, it has been more than [-] years since the founding of Great Chu, and it has experienced four emperors.

After learning about this period of history from the history books, Mu Xu realized that his family was the Wang family of Dongping County who had only heard of its name in the Dream of Red Mansions, but had never actually appeared in the scene.

Although Mu Xu lived in Fengtian Mansion in Liaodong these years, because his grandmother stayed in Shenjing, the two places kept writing letters.Through the mouths of servants who came and went, he also had a general understanding of the situation in Rongguo Mansion. After all, their family's affairs were not news in the capital, and there was such a group of servants with big mouths, so they didn't need to inquire about anything they wanted to know.

Because the original work of the Red Chamber only described the internal situation of Jia's family, and only mentioned a lot of places outside.Therefore, in order to understand the current situation, Mu Xu can only confirm some things through the original work, and then compare it with the current situation of the Jia family in reality.Fortunately, he had watched the 87 TV series in his previous life, as well as some original works, otherwise he would have been caught blind.

After learning about the Jia family in the past few years, he found that the reality is not exactly the same as the original, at least the timeline is wrong.

In the original book, Lin Daiyu is one year younger than Jia Baoyu, and entered the Rongguo Mansion at the age of seven.In reality, Lin Daiyu entered Beijing at the age of eleven, four full years later than the original novel.The Xue family also entered the capital this year, and the plot in the original book has just begun.

(Note 1, in the original book, Cao Gong didn’t describe much about Jia’s family, and he could only understand it from the side. Many of them were analyzed by later generations, like the royal surnames in the original book, because in the original book, the surname of King Shui Rong of Beijing was Shui, and the surname of Dongping County Wang's surname is Mu, so if we compare it with gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, east, west, north, south, and middle.

The description of the Twelve Marquis is not complete, like the Marquis of Jinxiang, so if it is written in the book, it can only be fabricated by yourself.It's like Hachiko didn't say the name of the first generation of Shan Guogong, only the surname Shi.

There will definitely be people who say that the Red Chamber is about the Qing Dynasty. In fact, the original work does allude to the events of the Kangxi and Yongzheng years of the Qing Dynasty, but some places are a bit like the Ming Dynasty. The author deliberately blurred the specific dynasty in order to avoid taboos.

Here I have made a second setting for the era of the background of the Red Mansion, and I will explain it here in advance.The reason is not explained.

After all, it is a novel. I have probably read some of The Red Chamber, and some descriptions are wrong. Please forgive me. )
　This is my first time writing a book, and the writing is not good. Readers, masters, forgive me.If you can watch it, please help recommend it, thank you here.
