The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 2
After a cold bath and clothes by the well in the backyard, meals are ready.This is Tieshan Temple, so the food is naturally vegetarian. Maybe it tastes good when you are hungry, or maybe it is because the vegetables here are not polluted by chemical fertilizers or pesticides, so Jia Min thinks the taste is still very good.

A rough woman took Jia Min to a room in the side courtyard, where he was going to spend the night tonight.

At this time, Jia Min felt at ease.Even though he was lying in bed, he couldn't fall asleep.

After coming to this strange yet familiar world of Red Mansions, if he could fall asleep immediately, his heart would be too big.

Now that you're here, you have to find a way to survive.Compared with the highly developed modern society, this place is undoubtedly very backward.But so what?Could it be possible to go back?
Since there is no other way to go, the only choice is to survive in this world.

Although he came to Jia's noble family, he became one of the masters here.However, the fate of the Jia family that followed was to gradually decline, so that the house was ransacked, exiled, and finally fell to the point where the family was almost ruined.

From this point of view, it is not a good thing to travel to Jia's mansion.Although "Dream of Red Mansions" said that only the Ningguo Mansion was copied, not the Rongguo Mansion, and finally the family property that was copied was returned.

But, who knows what will happen then?Will the fate of the Jia Mansion follow the direction in the book?
It turns out that the illegitimate son Jia Min did not appear in the book, so doesn't he also appear now?It can be seen that the pattern and direction set in the book are not destined to remain unchanged.

Moreover, even according to the original established direction, the ending of Jia's house is really not good.The family property is ruined, making ends meet, borrowing money everywhere, the population is dying, and there are no successors...

In short, the situation is still very serious.

The key problem is that the current Jia family has not foreseen this step at all, and has no sense of crisis at all.They all enjoy themselves in arrogance and lust, drunkenness, dreaming and death, and commit suicide collectively.

I only lived to be 27 years old in my previous life, and now Jia Min is only 15 years old.No matter from which point of view, the future life is still very long.The game shouldn't be over early.

So, how should we go in the future?
Nothing more than a few roads.

One is to get on the broken boat of Jia's mansion that has been leaking everywhere, and follow them to drift with the current.

From the conversation with the mother-in-law just now, I learned that the Grand View Garden has not yet been built, and Jia Yuanchun is not yet a noble concubine.Therefore, Jia's mansion still has a few years to live.

When the Grand View Garden exhausted Jia's financial resources and became the last straw that broke the Jia family's camel, Jia Yuanchun died again, and then he would finish playing with them and leave his fate to the unknown.

The second way is to leave Jia's mansion and cut off with them as soon as possible.To save myself from getting involved in the future.

However, this road is not easy to walk.

First of all, this is a family patriarchal society. In fact, everyone has no independent personality and is a member of the family.Not to mention the attitude of the people in Jia's house, people in the society, no matter where they go, they always regard you as a member of Jia's family.

Secondly, this is a society where people sit together. If someone in the family commits a serious crime, it will implicate the whole family.You said that you have nothing to do with the Jia family, but the emperor doesn't think so.It is his thinking logic to cut grass and roots, and he doesn't care about killing one more person.

The third way is to try to reverse the fate of Jia's mansion, avoid being ransacked, and finally end up with all the birds flying away, and the white side is really clean.

This path is the best, but also the hardest and least likely.

From the current point of view, there is no such person in Rongning Second Mansion who can take on the task of ZTE.So, who will turn the fate around?rely on me?Do I have this ability?

Even if I can thrive in a backward world with modern knowledge and foresight like the time-traveling characters in online novels, will they give me this chance?

The answer is, no.

The evidence is strong.

Don't talk about the distance, just say that this time I came to Jia's mansion.

When Jia Min arrived in Tongzhou, he was poisoned by Zhou Rui.The reason is very simple, that is, they don't want him to come into Jia's house.

Zhou Rui was just a servant, so naturally he didn't have the guts, and he didn't have the motive to kill someone, there must be someone behind him.

Who instigated it?Zhou Rui was Mrs. Wang's companion, so it was naturally Mrs. Wang's instigation.Why did you kill Jia Min?Naturally, he was afraid that he would threaten Baoyu's heir status.

Jia Huan was also able to threaten Baoyu's status.However, Jia Huan was a bastard, not only Mrs. Wang looked down on him, but also his own abilities and reputation were poor.Even Jia Zheng looked down on him, let alone Jia's mother and other people in Jia's house.

Therefore, Jia Huan's status and future in Jia's mansion have already been determined.He is no longer a threat to Baoyu.With or without Baoyu, it is impossible for Jia Huan to be the future successor of the Jia family.

Judging from Jia Huan's character and ability, even if he was given the position of successor, he would not be able to take on this important task. Apart from making Jia's house decline more quickly, he really couldn't do anything good.

Therefore, Jia Min who appeared at this time has become the character Mrs. Wang must get rid of quickly.Even if he doesn't die this time, he won't let it go in the future.

Judging from the address given to Jia Min as "Fourth Master Min", this is also proved.

Jia Zhu died as the eldest, and then Baoyu, the second son from the direct line.Jia Huan is the third master. Although he is a concubine, Aunt Zhao is still there and is favored by Jia Zheng.From the perspective of kinship, they are also closer than Jia Min.

In terms of age, even if Jia Min is not ahead of Baoyu, at least he should be ahead of Jia Huan, and should be the third master.However, he was ranked as the fourth master, which shows that his succession order is still after Jia Huan.This is the arrangement to marginalize him.

From the perspective of kinship, Baoyu is a descendant, Jia Huan is a concubine, and Jia Min is purely a bastard.

In fact, it can be seen from the attitude of Jia Lian and the servants along the way.Jia Lian didn't regard Jia Min as a brother at all, and the servants didn't treat him as a master at all.

Jia Min even suspected that even if he was picked up this time, it was the result of the Jia family holding their noses and having to accept it because of their own pride.

In Jia's mansion, Jia Huan, the second in line heir, was marginalized, not to mention Jia Min who was behind Jia Huan.

It's okay not to fight for power, and Jia Min has no interest in this aspect.Then, take a step back and be a wealthy idler.

It seems that this way does not work.

With Jia Huan's status, the monthly case is only 2 taels of silver, which is only one more than the big maids such as Xi Ren.Even these two items are often withheld or defaulted by Wang Xifeng.Although the officials are responsible for food, clothing, etc., they are still masters after all, and they have to pay attention to some decent things, such as favors, rewards and fundraising, and so on.This can be seen from Aunt Zhao's frequent economic crises.

Therefore, it is impossible to be a rich and idle person.

Besides, with his marginalized status and bleak future prospects, it is likely that the elders will send him away in the future if they arrange a marriage for him casually.

As for the top beauties here, Daiyu, Baochai, Shi Xiangyun, Xue Baoqin, Miaoyu, Xing Xiuyan, Li Wen, Li Qi, Qin Keqing, they would not take him seriously at all.

It's hard to travel through time, if you don't have something to do with these beauties, wouldn't it be a waste of time?
Jia Min's appearance is still very good because he inherited the genes of his singing girl mother.He is handsome, only 15 years old, and nearly 1.7 meters tall.However, this is not an era of relying on face for food, and this advantage cannot be brought into play.

Although Jia Huan was a concubine, he was, after all, a native householder in Jia's mansion, a local school, and he could be regarded as the legitimate third master.However, it is not welcome.

Why?It has a lot to do with his mother being Aunt Zhao.His uncle Zhao Guoji only served as a long-term follower.

Jia Lan is the eldest son, eldest grandson, and great-grandson, but he seems to be a transparent person in Jia's mansion, only his mother, Li Wan, guards her carefully all day long.Jia Mu, Jia Zheng, and Mrs. Wang, the real power faction in Jia's mansion, didn't seem to take him seriously.

When he finally took the imperial examination, Baoyu got lost, and even the slave Xiren dared to reprimand Jia Lan, which shows his low status.

On the contrary, why is Baoyu's status so high?Because he is Mrs. Wang's son.Behind Mrs. Wang is the Wang family, one of the four major families, and her elder brother Wang Ziteng is the leader of the four major families.

Although Wang Xifeng has some talents, but she has talent but no virtue, she has done a lot of corruption and perverted the law, and she has not been held accountable for her bad deeds.Why is the status in Jia Mansion so high?Or because behind her is the Wang family.

Therefore, if you want to be in the Jia family circle, you still have to pay attention to your matriarchal background.

Needless to say, Jia Huan, Li Wan's father was originally a high-ranking official in the Guozijian Jijiu, but he was dead and his natal family had no influence.

As the daughter-in-law of the eldest branch, Mrs. Xing should have more say than Mrs. Wang, but this is not the case, because her natal family has no influence and background.

In addition, Jia Zhen's wife Youshi and the peerless beauty Qin Keqing and Qin Dameier are all like this.Just imagine, if Qin Keqing had a natal backer like the Wang family, and with Jia Zhen's courage, he wouldn't dare to harass this daughter-in-law.

What about Jia Min?In this respect even those above are not as good as.

My mother was a singing girl. In that era, the social status was very low, which was incomparable with modern society.My grandma's family is just a farmer in the countryside, and I still have to rely on my mother who is a singing girl to help me. How can I talk about the background?
In Jia's mansion, his eyes were darkened, he didn't know anyone, and he had powerful enemies.The old political father who scolded his son as an "evil animal" all day long can't be counted on.Even Baoyu was beaten or scolded by him, let alone others.

If I have any troubles, then there won't even be someone who can speak for me.

No status, no fame, no money, no background, no fame, no connections... nothing.

I'm thankful that people brought you here to enjoy the food, and you want to stand out, why are you a rich and idle person?Don't even count on those top beauties.Even if you become a leftover woman, it's not your turn.

Who will give you a chance in this Jia's mansion where you are idle and quarreling all day long?
