Chapter 138 Follow your words, the luck of the dynasty

"The fallen leaves were burning, the cold smoke was rising, and I heard someone crying, 'Sister, I came back late, and you died miserably.'"

"Going around asking for alms with an alms bowl, walking through the streets..."

"Every year the moon shines brightly on travelers, how many people are holding lamps and sleeping in bed?"

In the study room, accompanied by the clear and sweet sound of Xia Shumin reading, Chen Ji listened to the entire content of the next forty chapters of Dream of Red Mansions that she continued to write.

Chen Ji did not study the Dream of Red Mansions deeply, nor did he study the various foreshadowings and hidden lines carefully.

But it can also be heard that the content, writing and poetry that Xia Shumin continued are very true to Cao Gong's original work, and various bizarre plots are coming one after another, and the tragic situations of the characters are shown one by one, which makes Chen Ji deeply shocked.

There were many episodes that impressed him.

For example, in the TV series Chen Ji watched before, Wang Xifeng said I was late when he appeared in the third episode. In Xia Shumin's sequel, Wang Xifeng came back after his death and also said I was late.

After listening to it, he only felt that the mountains and rivers were broken, and the hatred of the family and the country was involved. No one in the book could escape. It truly corresponded to what was said in the Red Mansion, "The land is so clean after a piece of white fell!", and what follows.

"The bones are as white as a mountain and the surname is forgotten".

However, given that Xia Shumin hates barbarian invasions the most, she may have added her own subjective feelings into it when she continued writing.

But Chen Ji has also heard that some people interpret the Dream of Red Mansions as the history of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, with Lin Daiyu reflecting Chongzhen.

There is no way to verify whether it is true or false.

Simply from the perspective of "A Dream of Red Mansions" as a novel, Xia Shumin's continued version is qualified and can be read.

After all, except for Cao Gong himself, everyone else who wrote the sequel is just a fan.

Don’t have too high standards for fan works.

"whee."

Cuizhu, who came in to deliver tea, couldn't help laughing and said: "Master, you don't know, after Miss Xu's "A Dream of Red Mansions" came out, it sold like crazy in Yongkang City. Many people from other counties came on horseback and couldn't buy it.

When I arrived, I crowded in the teahouse and listened to the scholar's story. I listened to it many times from morning to night. I was so mesmerized that I shouted with joy that I had fulfilled my wish in this life!"

Chen Ji laughed, this is the so-called die-hard fan, right?

Xia Shumin blushed with embarrassment, pushed the two maids out again, and closed the study door.

When she sat back down on the chair opposite with a blushing face, Chen Jicai smiled and asked: "I'm curious, Shu Min, how did you continue the Dream of Red Mansions? This book talks about a lot of human feelings and sophistication.

It cannot be written."

The author of Dream of Red Mansions in this world has also been found through research, but it is not certain that he is Cao Xueqin.

Xia Shumin replied in a low voice: "Dream of Red Mansions has been written for many years, and many people have continued to write it. The book is just picking up people's wisdom... Besides, the plot of Dream of Red Mansions is naturally obtained in dreams."

When she continued the Dream of Red Mansions, many of the plots were written after she woke up the next morning, as if she had been told by the fantasy fairy in a fantasy world. At first she thought the plot was bizarre, but after she finished it, after reading it, she found it to be reasonable and reasonable.

Chen Ji wanted to talk to her about publishing her continued book. After all, he now has a company and should do some serious business.

Just as he was about to speak, Cuizhu's voice came from outside the door:

"Miss, Madam, please ask me to come over."

"Here you go~! Are you having dinner? Master, please~"

Xia Shumin put down Dream of Red Mansions, looked quite happy, and went out side by side with Chen Ji.

She thought she was going to have dinner, and told Chen Ji on the way that her father had been busy with various matters in Yongkang City recently.

A large number of martial arts people stayed in the city. Even though they did not dare to make any big moves because they were afraid of the land gods, they still caused a lot of troubles.

result.

After arriving, Xia Shumin discovered that someone was visiting.

Chen Ji saw four people sitting in the room. In addition to Xia Shumin's parents, there was also a man in rich clothes and another old man with a feminine appearance and a beardless chin.

After thinking about it carefully, I remembered that I had seen their appearance in my mind:

It was none other than Prince Lu Huai, who visited the Xia Mansion last time, and Liu Xian, Eunuch Liu, the imperial master of the Three Dynasties.

These two people were in high positions. After seeing Chen Ji and Xia Shumin, they just gave them a look. Prince Lu Huai sat firmly on the chair, looked at Xia Shumin and said with a smile:

"Aunt, is this Shumin's cousin?"

Eunuch Liu put his hands on the armrests of the mahogany chair and looked at Chen Ji calmly, as if observing his walking posture and breathing to infer his martial arts skills.

However, after seeing Chen Ji, Xia Yongcheng and Lu Rui both stood up. Xia Yongcheng took the initiative to greet him and said with a smile on his face: "My nephew is here too?"

This move made Eunuch Liu a little surprised. The elder actually took the initiative to be polite to the younger generation?

Just now, Xia Yongcheng already knew the identity of his wife. After the initial shock, he became more open-minded and understood his wife's actions.

Unexpectedly, now to a young man...

wrong.

Liu Xian suddenly realized that Princess Anping also stood up to greet him as a sign of respect?

He knew from an early age that Princess Lu Rui of Anping had a very rebellious temperament. She even dared to fly in and out of the palace using Qing Kung Fu.

But now...

"Come and see your uncle and aunt."

Chen Ji smiled and said, "I didn't expect there were other guests here, so why don't I go to the garden and wait?"

Hongyeshan Summer Mansion is used for vacations. There are many gardens and they are all beautifully maintained.

"There's nothing else to do, we've finished talking."

Lu Rui's words are actually a disguised way of seeing off guests.

Xia Shumin blinked, didn't you ask me to come?

I haven't seen my cousin yet.

But, well, forget it, it’s not interesting to look at this cousin, just recognize his face.

"Auntie, this young hero is...?"

It makes sense for Lu Huai to call him Shaoxia instead of Xiongtai.

Shaoxia is the title of Jianghu people, and Jianghu people are informal, so this young man Chen Ji can appear in the backyard of Xia Mansion.

Lu Rui and Xia Yongcheng both looked at Chen Ji, how should they explain it?

Eunuch Liu stood up from the mahogany chair and took a few steps forward. A smile appeared on his old face: "Young hero looks extraordinary in appearance. I wonder which senior master you want to worship?"

Chen Jizheng was worried that he had no identity, so he happened to borrow the donkey from Poxia. He smiled slightly and said, "Didn't you keep talking about my master some time ago?"

"Some time ago?"

Lu Huai and Eunuch Liu were both stunned.

"There's been a lot of discussion these days." Xia Shumin suppressed laughter, her tone became respectful, she looked at Chen Ji and said, "Young Master is the one who opened the Heavenly Gate with his sword, and was the first person in history to introduce immortal energy into his body.

The mortal immortal!"

Red dust fairy!

Prince Lu Huai subconsciously stood up.

Eunuch Liu's eyes shone.

And Xia Shumin, who had changed the land fairy into a mortal fairy, was holding back laughter so that her shoulders were shaking, and she looked like she couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

Chen Ji didn't understand how she knew the name Hongchenxian. It had the same realm setting as a novel he had read before.

Including land gods too.

"Oh, this is so true!"

Eunuch Liu's wrinkled face was full of smiles. He walked forward a few steps quickly, his waist seemed to be bent, and he said with a smile: "No wonder the muddy old eyes of the Za family suddenly brightened up after seeing the young master!!"

It turns out that this beautiful young master with an immortal aura and a charming face is actually a disciple of the immortal!"

Such flattery... I can only say that he is truly worthy of being an imperial master of the Three Dynasties, with a strong ability to adapt to the wind.

Chen Ji knew that this Eunuch Liu, when he came to Xia Mansion last time, had an attitude of "the sacred command cannot be violated" and expressed his approval for the emperor to send troops to kill the real dragon.

As a result, after witnessing Chen Ji's rapid rise, he immediately turned around and flattered the old land immortal.

It seems understandable when you think about it.

A real dragon can move the wind and rain, and is very powerful, but in the eyes of the world, it is probably just a mythical beast, an auspicious beast, different from humans.

The land gods were different. They angered the old gods and went directly to the capital to kill the emperor.

Hundreds of civil and military officials, the imperial army in the capital, seventy-two concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards, can they still stop the old god?

Therefore, Eunuch Liu was unequivocal in flattering Chen Ji, and he did not feel embarrassed at all because of his status as the supreme master and the emperor of the Three Dynasties.

Chen Ji originally had a bad impression of him, but now that he has stopped flattering him, he feels better both physically and mentally.

It has to be said that the people who are prominent in the palace are very good at flattering, and they are top notch.

"Immortal disciple..."
