My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 3

After paying off the rent, Jia Yu strode out of the inn under the watchful eyes of shopkeeper Hu and two waiters. When Jia Yu walked out of the inn door, he stopped and looked back at the sign above the door that said "Inn" After taking a deep breath, he strode towards the deserted street ahead.

"Shopkeeper, are we going to let him go just like that?" a waiter asked unwillingly.

"Is it possible that you still want to force him to stay?"

Shopkeeper Hu gave the waiter a cold look.

"Don't forget, there were so many people watching just now. What if something happens and people from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division are attracted?
If we really attract those uncles, can we send them away without a few dozen taels of silver?Should you pay for this money or should I pay for it? "

The boy who was scolded felt a little unconvinced, "But didn't you say that the jade pendant around Jia's neck is worth at least a hundred taels of silver. If we can get it, we can still make money."

"How could I be blind and recruit such a fool like you!"

Shopkeeper Hu was so angry that he hit the clerk on the head hard.

"If the people from the Bingma Division really intervene, do you think that jade pendant will still fall into our hands?"

The clerk was silent now. He knew best the virtues of the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division.

That was the man known as Yan Guo. If he really wanted to bring the matter to their attention, let alone get the jade pendant, it would be a good thing if Shopkeeper Hu didn't get a blackmail.

Another waiter suddenly said: "Shopkeeper, why don't we go find the Jinsha Gang... wu wu..."

Before he could finish his words, shopkeeper Hu covered his mouth.

Shopkeeper Hu, whose expression changed greatly, looked around, and then angrily, he gave a violent shudder on the clerk's head.

"Silly Wang, you are so damn good at giving a stick.

If you want to die, just say so. I'll go to the kitchen and hand you the knife. Don't involve me. If you really provoke those plague gods, can we still do business? "

This guy also knew that he had said something stupid, so he lowered his head and muttered: "Then... should we really let that kid go?"

"That kid is destined to be lucky, so let's let him go."

Although Shopkeeper Hu was a little reluctant, there was nothing he could do.

You can't really catch up with a knife and kill someone, right?This is Shenjing, under the emperor's feet, no matter how daring he is, he would not dare to openly commit murder on the street in broad daylight.

After watching Jia Yu go away, shopkeeper Hu and the two waiters closed the door with curses.

But shopkeeper Hu couldn't figure it out. The boy named Jia was obviously so poor that he had to pawn his clothes to make ends meet. Where did he get the money?
Not to mention Shopkeeper Hu who couldn't figure it out, Jia Yu walked out of the inn door and walked on the empty street. Looking at the low buildings full of ancient charm around her, all kinds of feelings came to her heart.

Since she had taken antipyretic medicine a few hours ago and sweated all over, and ate two more burgers, Jia Yu felt her body relaxed a lot and her steps were brisk.

He touched the two pieces of silver in his sleeves. They were two pieces of industrial silver that he took out from a warehouse in the Industrial Zone of the World Expo Hall.

With money, he can finally survive in this world.

The most important thing now is to find another inn to stay in and take a good rest.

The teacher once said that the body is the capital of revolution. Without a good body, anything else is like a mirror in the mirror.

According to the memory of the original owner, the place where he is now belongs to Chengnan District.

As the saying goes, the east is rich and the west is noble, the south is poor and the north is humble.

The people living in this area are ordinary people, so naturally there are no high-end inns.

If you want to live comfortably and eat well, you'd better go to Dongcheng, which is a famous wealthy area where businessmen gather all year round. The quality of the inns is much higher than that in the south of the city.

However, from Jia Yu's current location, if he wanted to go to the east of the city, it would be impossible to go to the east of the city without taking only an hour or two.

It seems that we can only go to the west of the city to find a bus.

As early as 2000 years ago in the Han Dynasty, public transportation appeared in the streets and alleys of the capital of the Han Dynasty.

At that time, buses were called "oil-walled buses" and were generally powered by 6-8 horses. The carriages were very long and had windows on the walls, and could accommodate more than 20 people at a time.

In ancient times, "taxi" was also very particular. It was divided into one-way and round-trip, and the pricing methods were of course different, so you need to make it clear before "taxi".

Wei Tai of the Song Dynasty recorded in "Dongxuan Notes": There was a prosecutor in the capital named Sun Liangru. Because his family was poor, he received special relief from the Queen Mother. Naturally, he did not have a private car. He had to go to the execution ground for business, so Sun Liangru had to rent a "horse car". ".

When negotiating the price, the other party asked him: "Where to go?" Sun said: "To the execution ground."

The other party asked: "Will you come back after you go?" It became a joke for a while.

However, the south of the city is a slum area. Ordinary people are not willing to spend tens of pennies to take a bus. If you want to take a bus, you have to go to the west of the city.

Therefore, Jia Yu could only brave the snow up to her ankles and walk towards the west of the city, one foot deep and one foot shallow.

After walking for nearly three quarters of an hour, Jia Yu finally arrived in the west of the city.

As he passed a street, a majestic mansion appeared in his eyes.

At the same time, a stream of memories hidden deep in his mind came out like a tide.

This is a very large mansion, occupying almost half of the entire street.A pair of simple and mighty stone lions guard both sides of the gate, as if guarding the dignity and majesty of this mansion.

The thick exterior walls are at least three meters high. Even the exterior walls are made of alternating red bricks and blue bricks, exuding a strong aura of wealth.

There is an eye-catching plaque hanging directly above Gundam's mansion, with the six characters "Amnesty for the Rongguo Duke's Mansion" written on it.

On both sides of the gate, six arrogant servants stood at the gate.

Wearing brocade robes and embroidered robes, they raised their chins high and looked at passers-by coldly.

Jia Yu could even see the contemptuous looks in the servants' eyes when they looked at passers-by, which was even more dazzling against the gorgeous exterior wall.

Passers-by passing by the gate glanced in awe as they passed this luxurious mansion.

Many people lowered their heads, fearing to catch the eyes of those servants.

Nobility and power are intertwined here to form an invisible but perceptible force field.

Jia Yu, who saw this scene, clenched her fists tightly.

The memory in his mind told him that the suffering he had encountered these days was due to this mansion and the wealthy slaves at the door.

Yes, what Jia Yu traveled through was the world of Red Mansions.

Strictly speaking, Jia Yu's predecessor once belonged to the Jia family, but that was several generations ago.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, people all over the world were in dire straits.

The two brothers Jia Yan and Jia Yuan, who were born in Jinling, took refuge with Xia Taizu, who rebelled against the Yuan Dynasty, and followed Xia Taizu to drive out the Tartars and conquer the world.

After Xia Taizu gained control of the world, he bestowed many titles on the heroes, including four princes, eight princes, and twelve princes.

These 22 families can be said to be the top nobles in Daxia. As for the rest of the uncles and other nobles, we will not mention them.

The two brothers Jia Yan and Jia Yuan also received generous rewards for following Xia Taizu. The two brothers were named Ning Guo Gong and Rong Guo Gong respectively.

A double master can be said to be unparalleled in glory.

After being named dukes, the two brothers also moved all their family members to the capital. As time went by, more and more Jia family descendants lived in the capital, and now they are divided into eight rooms.

The Jia family who stayed in Jinling had twelve rooms, totaling twenty rooms in total.

Jia Yu is one of the twelve rooms in Jinling.

As for why Jia Yu came to Shenjing from Jinling alone, the reason was also very cliche, it was just that both of his parents were dead.

As the only son in the family, he was incompetent in both literature and martial arts, and his relatives looked on coldly, with no one helping him.

Seeing that life was going to be unbearable, he mustered up the courage to come to Shenjing with his last bit of money and prayed to the Jia family to arrange a job for him for the sake of being an ancestor.

But the naive Jia Yu did not know the dangers of the world. After he came to Rongguo Mansion full of hope, not to mention the head of the Jia family, even the housekeeper of Rongguo Mansion was kicked out by his disciples without even seeing him.

The young and energetic Jia Yu was so angry that she still wanted to argue with the servants who were guarding the door, so she was beaten on the spot. In the chaos, it was not known who hit the back of the head with a stick, and she was knocked unconscious on the spot.

Seeing Jia Yu being knocked unconscious, the servant who took action also panicked.

Although they sincerely despised this poor relative who tried to seek refuge in Rongguo Mansion and try to climb a high branch, they could drive him away without mercy.

But if someone is beaten to death now, it will really look like the Shuntian Mansion Office is just a decoration.

And if the matter reaches the ears of the Jia family's masters, they will never get any good results.

In panic, several servants quickly carried Jia Yu to the south of the city, found the cheapest inn and left her to fend for herself, and then they quickly fled.

And it was that stick that killed the original owner, and that's why Jia Yujiu occupied the magpie's nest.

After Jia Yu took possession of this body, he naturally inherited his memory.

Seeing the servants standing at the door, the memory that came to his mind told him that it was these people who beat him up, which ultimately led to the death of the original owner.

Jia Yu first raised his head and glanced at the plaque "Amnesty for the Construction of Rongguo Duke's Mansion", then looked deeply at the servants, as if remembering their appearance in his heart, and finally took a long breath before taking a big step. leave.

Not long after arriving at the car dealership, Jia Yu waited for an "oil-walled truck" heading to the east of the city. Less than half an hour later, he arrived at the east of the city and then stayed at an inn near Anhua Temple.

It is indeed a famous inn in the eastern part of the city. Both the environment and the service attitude are much better than the original "Youjian Inn" in the south of the city.

But the price of the room is also very impressive. The price is five hundred cents per day, which is ten times higher than the price of the original inn.

Coupled with the cost of food and clothing, it is impossible to survive without seven or eight hundred cash a day.

Although with his current appearance, living here is indeed a bit eye-catching.

However, in order to better recuperate, Jia Yu still stayed.
