Chapter 138 Words follow the law, the luck of the dynasty

  "The fallen leaves were piled up, and the cold smoke was light, and I heard someone crying, 'Sister, I am late, you died so badly'"

   "Take alms bowl and go around for alms, walking around the streets..."

   "Every year, the moon shines on the travelers, how many lamps and how many are lying dead?"

  In the study room, accompanied by Xia Shumin's crisp and melodious reading sound, Chen Ji probably listened to the entire plot of the next forty chapters of the Dream of the Red Chamber that she wrote.

  Chen Ji didn't study the Dream of Red Mansions deeply, and didn't study all kinds of foreshadowing and hidden clues carefully.

  But it can also be heard that Xia Shumin's continuation, the writing and poems are very true to the original work of Cao Gong, and various bizarre plots come one after another, and the tragedies of the characters are displayed one by one, which makes Chen Ji deeply shocked.

   There are many plots that impress him.

  For example, in the TV series that Chen Ji watched before, Wang Xifeng said that I was late when he appeared on the stage for the third time.

After listening to it, he only felt that the mountains and rivers were broken, and the hatred of the family and the country came together. No one in the book can escape it. It really corresponds to the saying in the Red Mansion, "It's so clean to leave a piece of white land!", and the following "The bones are like a mountain and the surname is forgotten".

  However, since Xia Shumin hates barbarian invasion 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, and Lin Daiyu reflects Chongzhen.

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

  From the perspective of "Dream of Red Mansions" as a novel, Xia Shumin's continuation version is qualified and can be read by people.

   After all, apart from Mr. Cao himself, other people’s sequels are just fanfic.

  Don’t ask too much for fan works.

"whee."

Cui Zhu, who came in to deliver tea, couldn't help laughing and said, "Young master, you don't know that after the publication of the "Dream of Red Mansions" continued by the young lady, it sold like crazy in Yongkang City, and many people from other counties came here on horseback. When I came to the book, I would huddle in the teahouse and listen to the scholars, from morning to night, I listened to it many times, and I was so intoxicated, I ecstatically shouted that my wish in this life has been fulfilled!"

  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 on the opposite chair with a blushing face again, Chen Ji asked with a smile: "I'm curious, Shumin, how did you continue the Dream of the Red Chamber? This book tells a lot about human relationships and the world, and the words are penetrating. It is not through family hatred It cannot be written."

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

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

  When she continued the Dream of the Red Chamber, many of the plots were written after waking up the next morning, as if it was too illusory.

  Chen Ji wants to chat with her about publishing her sequel book, how can he say that he also has a company now, so he should do something serious.

  Just as he was about to speak, Cui Zhu’s voice came from outside the door:

   "Miss, ma'am, master asked you to come over."

   "Here we come~! Is it for dinner? My son, please~"

  Xia Shumin put down the Dream of Red Mansions, with a rather happy expression, 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 was always busy with big and small things in Yongkang City recently.

  A large number of people from the rivers and lakes and martial arts stayed in the city. Even though they didn't dare to make 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 had come to visit.

  Chen Ji saw four people sitting in the room. Apart from Xia Shumin's parents, there was also a man in gorgeous 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 divine thoughts:

   It was the prince Lu Huai who visited the Xia Mansion last time, and the emperor Liu Xian of the Three Dynasties, Eunuch Liu.

   These two people are in high positions. When they saw Chen Ji and Xia Shumin, they just gave them a look. Prince Lu Huaiwen sat on the chair, looked at Xia Shumin with a smile and said:

   "Auntie, this is Cousin Shumin, right?"

  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 intensity, so as to infer his martial arts skills.

   After seeing Chen Ji, both Xia Yongcheng and Lu Rui stood up, Xia Yongcheng took the initiative to greet him, and said with a smile on his face, "Your nephew is here?"

  This move made Eunuch Liu a little surprised. The elders 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 was very open and understood what his wife did.

   I didn’t think about it, but now I am interested in a young man...

   Not right.

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

  He knew Anping Princess Lu Rui's temper in his early years, she was full of rebellion, even the imperial palace dared to fly in and out.

   Now but...

   "Come and see my uncle and aunt."

  Chen Ji smiled, "I didn't expect there to be other guests, so I'll wait in the garden first?"

  Hongyeshan Xia Mansion is used for vacation, there are many gardens, and they are all beautifully repaired.

   "There is nothing else, the chat is over."

  Lu Rui's words are actually seeing off guests in disguise.

  Xia Shumin blinked, didn't you call me?

  Cousin has not seen yet.

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

   "Auntie, is this young hero...?"

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

  Shaoxia is the name of the Jianghu people, and the Jianghu people don't care about trivial matters, so Chen Ji, a young man, can appear in the backyard of the Xia Mansion.

   Both Lu Rui and Xia Yongcheng looked at Chen Ji, how should I explain it?

  Eunuch Liu stood up from the mahogany chair and walked a few steps forward, with a smile on his old face: "The young man looks extraordinary, which senior is he worshiping?"

  Chen Ji was worrying about his lack of identity, so he just took advantage of the **** to get off the donkey, and said with a slight smile, "Didn't you guys keep talking about my master a while ago?"

   "A while ago?"

   Both Lu Huai and Eunuch Liu were taken aback.

"It's also discussed these days." Xia Shumin suppressed a smile, his tone became respectful, looked at Chen Ji and said, "Young Master Master is the one who opened the gate of heaven with his sword, and the dragon and phoenix congratulated him. The Red Dust Immortal!"

  Red Dust Immortal!

  Prince Lu Huai subconsciously stood up.

  Eunuch Liu's eyes shined.

  Xia Shumin, who changed the terrestrial fairy to the mortal fairy, shook his shoulders with a suppressed laugh, and looked like he couldn't help covering his mouth and snickering.

  Chen Ji didn't understand how she knew the name Hongchen Xian, it was the same as the realm setting in a novel he had read before.

  Including land gods too.

   "Oops, that's true!"

  Eunuch Liu's wrinkled face burst into laughter, he walked forward a few steps quickly, his waist seemed to be bent down, and he said with a smile: "No wonder the muddy old eyes of the miscellaneous family suddenly brightened after seeing the young master!

  It turns out that this handsome young man with a fairy air and a moonlike charm is actually a disciple of a fairy! "

  This flattery is so good... I can only say that I really deserve to be the emperor of the Three Dynasties, and I have a strong ability to adapt to the wind.

  Chen Ji knew that this Eunuch Liu, when he came to the Xia Mansion last time, had an attitude of "sacred orders are hard to break", and expressed his approval of the emperor sending troops to kill the real dragon.

   As a result, after seeing Chen Ji's ten thousand Ren Qi hair, he immediately turned his head and flattered the old land fairy.

  It seems understandable after thinking about it.

  The real dragon can call the wind and rain, and has a great momentum, but in the eyes of the world, it is probably just a divine beast, an auspicious beast, which is different from human beings.

  The terrestrial gods are different. They annoyed the old gods and ran to the capital to kill the emperor.

   Hundreds of civil and military officials, the forbidden army in the capital, and the seventy-two concubines of the Sangong and Six Courtyards, can they still stop the old gods?

  So, Eunuch Liu flattered Chen Ji unequivocally, and he didn't feel embarrassed at all because he was the supreme master and the emperor's master of the three dynasties.

  Chen Ji had a bad impression of him at first, but now after this flattery, he feels at ease physically and mentally.

   I have to say that the level of flattery for the elite in the palace is high, the first class is the highest.

   "Immortal disciple..."

  Prince Lu Huai was in a daze for a long time before he walked quickly and cupped his hands towards Chen Ji: "It turns out that Your Excellency is actually a disciple of an old land god. I am in Lu Huai, and I am the Prince of Zhao. Disrespect, disrespect!"

  In the ordinary ancient world, the current crown prince would never say such modest words as "my subordinate".

  But in the world of martial arts, the prince also has to show a certain amount of respect to the martial arts masters, and he has to condescend and lower his posture to Chen Ji, an unprecedented immortal disciple.

   "The prince is polite."

  Chen Ji also bowed his hands to him, "It's Chen Ji, it's sunny after the rain."

  The disciple of the immortal is so easy-going, which is completely different from the high-ranking posture he imagined.

  Lu Huai thought a lot in his mind for a while, his smile became brighter, and he enthusiastically found topics to chat with.

  Chen Ji was not in the mood to make friends with the prince because of the emperor in the capital.

  After sitting down, he asked:

   "I heard that the emperor wants to kill the real dragon?"

  As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room suddenly froze.

  Lu Rui, Xia Yongcheng, the two looked at Lu Huai together.

  Xia Shumin held the teacup and looked up.

"this…"

  Cold sweat broke out on Lu Huai's back, and his voice became hesitant: "I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding, brother Chen, you..."

   "I don't think it's a misunderstanding."

  Chen Ji said slowly: "There was an imperial decree to demote the real dragon into an evil dragon, and now there are fifty thousand troops stationed in Hongye Mountain. It is clear at a glance what they intend to do."

  Lu Huai gritted his teeth: "The army will withdraw tomorrow, Brother Chen, please wait for a few more days, and when I report it to my father, I will definitely give you and my respected teacher a satisfactory answer!"

   Now he is also riding a tiger.

  I thought that the gods on land roamed around the world, ignoring common affairs, so he led the army to wait for the imperial decree to come down at the foot of Hongye Mountain before withdrawing.

   As a result, the land **** has an apprentice...

   "Not for me, but for all the people in the world."

Chen Ji said: "The real dragon did no evil after it appeared, but the emperor ordered it to be demoted as an evil dragon. This crime is one. He also sent a large army to take down the real dragon regardless of the heavy casualties of the soldiers, so as to complete the sitting dragon. The supreme position of the emperor, the crime is two.

  If he persists in his obsession, he will definitely lose his heart and luck, and a person with the life of a real dragon will be officially born, driving your royal family, the Lu family, from the dragon chair! "

  Lu Huai broke out in a cold sweat.

  Xia Shumin also opened his mouth and said: "Having the fate of a real dragon does not necessarily mean that you are the emperor, but you may also be... an immortal."

  Everyone looked at her.

  Xia Shumin was a little nervous, but the son was by the side, giving her a strong sense of security.

  She also said: "The ancient Shang Tang's energy was not exhausted, but King Zhou was stupid and unreasonable, which caused the people to live in dire straits, and the energy declined rapidly. The country and the country were easily handed over in an instant. It can be seen that the energy is fluctuating, and it is closely related to all people in the world."

   "Shu Min is right!"

  Chen Ji smiled and encouraged her to continue talking. Xia Shumin's confidence increased greatly, and she said in a crisp voice:

   "If Cathay Pacific is safe, then the imperial fortune will last forever, and the hearts of the people will aspire.

  When the people are in dire straits, and resentful spirits are everywhere, evil spirits will breed, causing chaos and chaos, leading to the rise of all heroes.

  If the hearts of the people are there, what's the point of disrespecting the real dragon and not worshiping immortals? "

  The more she spoke, the smoother she spoke, and she expressed all the thoughts she had learned from reading history books in the past, and the thoughts that she didn't dare to dictate to the court in the past.

  The voice of the voice fell like thunder from the sky, startling the dragons in the deep pool, and the colorful phoenixes flying.

   Several people in the room were dumbfounded.

  Chen Ji raised his head and looked out of the sky, and vaguely saw an unpredictable Qi running across the heaven and earth. All living beings condensed a Qi, which was connected with the Qi of mountains, rivers and earth, forming an Qi of heaven and earth that no one could see through.

The real dragon appeared in shape and looked up at the sky. Many people wandering around the deep pool saw the blurred scales and claws of the real dragon for the first time. They were immediately excited and worshiped one after another, trying to find the land **** who controlled the real dragon. old man!

  Inside the house.

  Prince Lu Huai kept muttering "luck", "people's heart" and "monster" in his mouth, and then suddenly thought of Xia Shumin's words "do not respect real dragons and do not worship immortals", and then he was shocked and came back to his senses.

   "How dare you not worship immortals? Don't dare!"

  He didn't speak very well, he bowed his hands stiffly to Chen Ji, expressed his apology, and hurriedly said goodbye and left.

  Chen Ji looked at Xia Shumin with a strange expression.

   Could it be that what the little lady said just now really set the fate of the dynasty and the number of days for the country to change?

etc.

  He said something similar just now.

   "Master..."

  Xia Shumin's white and tender little pair tightly grasped the skirt on her knees, feeling a little uneasy: "Did the real dragon in the back mountain and the colorful phoenix in the orchard call a few times just now?"

  The colorful phoenix in the orchard?

  Eunuch Liu, who was about to leave, stopped and was a little dumbfounded.

  The courts of the rivers and lakes, together with those who came from all over the Western Regions, tried their best to find out where the real dragon and colorful phoenix were.

   But in the end, Caifeng stayed in the orchard in the backyard of the Xia Mansion well. According to the daughter of the princess, she still saw it every day.

  Red Dust Immortal, Land Immortal, Unexpectedly, Unexpectedly...

   "Master Chen!"

Eunuch Liu turned back again, with a bitter expression on his face, sighed again and again and said: "The real dragon happened to fly over the capital that day, but refused to stop for half a step. Your Majesty stood in front of the imperial study and was furious, that's why he did this. The imperial decree... Really, alas, Zajia should have persuaded His Majesty to ignore the matter of the real dragon, but His Majesty... Don't worry, Mr. Chen, the Zajia will definitely play the role and ask His Majesty to designate the real dragon as the Dragon of Protecting the Country!"

  In the imperial study that day, he didn't say anything, it was His Majesty's will.

   "I just don't know the old god... what should I seal?"

   Eunuch Liu tentatively asked, he still had to find a way for His Majesty.

   "My master is not interested in these."

  Chen Ji roughly guessed what the old **** was thinking.

  He is the supreme master, even if he offends the emperor, he can go away and escape into the rivers and lakes, but he is reluctant to be the emperor's teacher, and he is afraid of offending Chen Ji, so he speaks both ways.

   "Tell him." Chen Ji said: "If he makes people miserable and the people complain, my master will definitely take action and change the emperor!"

   After finishing speaking, no matter how Liu Xian relayed this passage, Chen Ji waved him away.

   "The old immortal is really a magnanimous and virtuous immortal! The miscellaneous family must tell His Majesty the truth. After His Majesty replies, the miscellaneous family will tell Mr. Chen!"

  Liu Xian left contentedly.
