Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 1 It's been ten years since time travel

Great Xia Dynasty, the capital.

On Ning Rong Back Street, facing the back door of Rong Mansion, a courtyard covering an area of ​​one and a half miles and surrounded by white water mark stones stands quietly.

There is a very elegant garden in the courtyard. A round arch enters it, and a small path leads to a secluded place. There are green pines and green bamboos on both sides, and the sound of gurgling water comes from the road paved with bluestone slabs.

A row of houses is hidden among the green willows in the lotus pond.

Next to the bookcase in front of the window facing the lotus pond, a young man in his 20s with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes was mumbling to himself.

"Oh! Three years and three years, it's been ten years!"

It has been ten years since he traveled to the world of Red Mansions. In his previous life, he was a small boss of a private enterprise. He drank too much for business and had advanced liver cancer in his thirties.

After surviving the last part of his life, when he opened his eyes again, he was possessed by Lai Shangrong, the son of Lai Da, the chief steward of Rong Mansion.

There are two brothers from the Lai family. Lai Shangrong's father Lai Da is in charge of Rong Mansion, and his uncle Lai Sheng is in charge of Ning Mansion.Although he is a slave, Lai Shangrong has been out of slavery since he was born. He also reads and reads like a young master, which makes the slave look dignified when calling his maid.

Originally, he should be content to continue his life, but this is the world of Red Mansions.

Who doesn't covet the Yingying and Yanyan in the book, don't they just watch all the fragrances disappear after the three springs, wouldn't this experience be in vain.

So Lai Shangrong set a small goal for himself, starting from seven. He didn't care whether he could summon the dragon or not. The key was to save their miserable fate.

Although he has great aspirations, his ten-year-old body cannot support his ambition, so he can only study quietly.

Once people have hope, they also have motivation. Han Chuang studied hard for six years and successfully passed the Tongsheng Examination and became a scholar. In Qiu Wei that year, he won the first place again and became a genuine scholar.

But Chun Wei's defeat in the next year was like a blow to the head. Three years later, he lost again this year, so it's no wonder that he sighed so much.

"The uncle is showing off again! You are less than [-] years old, and you have only been in three years. How many people can't even pass the exam to become a scholar in their lifetime!"

A maid of sixteen or seventeen years old with a good face and a tall figure in the room sighed when she saw him and curled her lips.

She was seen wearing a used lotus-colored silk jacket, a green satin waistcoat, and an aqua skirt. A red belt wrapped around her waist, creating a water snake waist.

After traveling through time and becoming Lai Shangrong, Qingwen naturally couldn't give it to Jia's mother. Ever since the girl was bought back six years ago, he had acted coquettishly and coquettishly, and begged her for her.

As a slave of the Jia family, the Lai family followed the Jia family in many of their habits. As the men in the family got older, they had to arrange for people in the house. In addition, Lai Shangrong was expected to take the imperial examination. The Lai family also hoped that he would marry a high-ranking wife after he succeeded in the imperial examination. , completely changing the courtyard.

So after Qiu Wei went to high school, it was natural for him to put Qingwen in the house.

Since then, she has been by his side, taking care of his daily life, while Lai Shangrong lived a leisurely life while playing the game of raising a beautiful girl.

Since it is a development, we must teach her to read and write.

When he had just traveled through time, he went with his grandmother to pay his respects to Jia Mu. He had seen Aunt Zhao, who was in her twenties, and she was not only charming in appearance and enchanting in figure, but she was shy and timid even when she spoke.

Otherwise, Mother Jia, who is a beauty-controller, would not give her preferred younger son.

But just because she has never read a book, she becomes more mature and sarcastic, and she gradually becomes a dirty-mouthed shrew.

On the other hand, Daiyu, although she also likes to criticize people, can make puns and quote scriptures, which makes her much cuter.

It's just that nature is easy to change but hard to change. Although Qingwen didn't follow Aunt Zhao's path, she still couldn't change her habit of talking back.

"You are the only one who talks too much!" Lai Shangrong scolded with a smile.Qingwen was not afraid of him, and said with all her family treasures: "Isn't it true? I heard that the dead Uncle Zhu in Xifu was just a scholar in his early years. He was said to be unparalleled in heaven and earth. He didn't want to die without passing the exam. Well, the uncle Rui next door is even worse. His grandfather uses a mallet to force him to study every day, and he will only be a scholar until he dies."

Jia Rui didn't study to death, that was exhausting himself to death.

Lai Shangrong didn't care to argue with her, Qingwen's words just reminded him.According to the plot of the original novel, Qin Keqing will not be far away after Jia Rui's death.

After winning the imperial examination that year, he once planned to intercept Hu Qin Keqing.

I originally thought that although Qin Ye was a doctor of the fifth-level maintenance department, Qin Keqing was only an adopted daughter after all, and since she had won the imperial examination at a young age, it might not be impossible to say that this was a marriage.

Little did he know that as soon as he told me about it, a basin of cold water was poured on me.

It turns out that the Ministry of Industry's Construction and Maintenance Department is in charge of construction matters all over the world, and the doctor in charge is the most fertile vacancy. Qin Ye's ability to sit in this position for many years is also the result of many parties, not to mention that he is Jia Zheng's boss. How can it be? As the son of a slave, he could be coveted by a small official.

It was strange to see Red Mansion in the previous life. As the eldest grandson of Ning Mansion, Jia Rong married the daughters of Mr. Hu from Gyeonggi Province. Gyeonggi Province was a third-ranking official. Even though he had resigned, his family status was still there.

Jia Rong's wife's family background is lower than that of Xuxian, so things that were originally very unreasonable became smoother.

Qin Zhong needed to raise money for 20 taels of silver, but before he died, he was thinking about the thousands of taels of silver left by his father.It's like a corrupt official in his previous life who had hundreds of millions saved in his family and rode his bike to work every day.

It's not that I don't have money, I'm just pretending to be poor.

When he traveled back in time, apart from often accompanying his grandmother to greet Mother Jia of Rong Mansion, he concentrated on studying hard. His understanding of the officialdom was limited to official grades. The officialdom dealt with those doorways. It was better to be the housekeeper of Rong Mansion who needed to welcome the guests. I am familiar with Lao Tzu's Tao and can understand it.

It's just that the talent and background are not enough. If you are a 16-year-old Jinshi, you will be a hero regardless of your origin.

So I put aside my unrealistic thoughts and continued to study hard, thinking that after three years of high school, I might not have no chance.

But two years ago, Qin Keqing married into the Ning Mansion and became Jia Rong's wife.

If he had not seen Red Mansions, he would just continue to study hard, but time waits for no one, and he has already missed Qin Keqing. If he misses Chai Dai again, even if he passes the exam, it will be too late to regret it.

Of course, Qin Keqing also had to find a way to save him. After all, there is hope only when people are alive.

Be sincere in the beginning, and be cautious in the end.

Although it is a great regret that he has never been married, after the Ning Mansion ransacked the house, there may not be no opportunities. It is true to pay attention to the beginning, but the result is more important.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but grinning evilly.

"The uncle must be thinking something bad again!" Qingwen interrupted his thoughts.

"Jie Jie Jie!" Lai Shangrong stood up with a smile: "You girl, you are becoming more and more unruly. Let's see how I punish you!"

Despite Qingwen's cheerful temperament, when she heard the word "punishment", her cheeks turned red and her head drooped.

"Master! Master calls you over!"

Just as he was about to get started, he heard a sound coming from outside the house.

Lai Shangrong instantly changed his dignified expression, and before leaving, he said to Qingwen in a nonchalant manner: "God has arranged the best, and it seems that I can only punish her again at night!"

With that said, he stepped out of the study.
