Chapter 1

1.10 Situation in Beijing, agreement on Xiangyun

The information came directly and suddenly.

Wei Xu insisted on practicing martial arts, but mainly during the day, because he didn't have any internal strength to practice, so the rest at night was normal, even more sufficient than in modern society.

Because in ancient times, there was really nothing to do at night, except for a little activity, or a little activity in a different place, only sleeping.

Wei Xu didn't even have that kind of activity. On the one hand, he was too young to be suitable for such activities, and on the other hand, he had no activity partners around him.

Under normal circumstances, after practicing martial arts during the day, the energy stored in the jade pendant is used to nourish oneself at night. On the one hand, it is to prevent excessive consumption from harming the body, and on the other hand, it is also to absorb energy to prepare for the next day's practice.

The method of use is very simple, just place the jade pendant on the forehead and control it with the mind. Until the night of two months ago, when Wei Xu was performing routine energy absorption, the message came from his mind that he could travel through.

Of course, the details are not so simple, but it seems that in an instant, his consciousness entered the jade pendant, and it can be clearly seen that there is an additional "playing screen" in the space of the jade pendant.

The picture on this "screen" is naturally the target he wants to travel through, and it can be seen that the time should still be Manqing in reality, because of the annoying pig tail.

This "picture" is an animation, it should be developing normally, and the target is a certain small town. As for what it is and where it is, Wei Xu has no idea.

The reason why he didn't go in was because he couldn't determine the time course. For example, after entering the jade pendant world, how would the world of "Red Mansion" develop?

Is the time of the two equal, or some kind of ratio?What if it takes a long time to enter the jade pendant world, and the world of "Red Mansion" has passed for a long time, how should it be explained?

Don't forget, the current "Red Mansion" world is his foundation, and it cannot be messed up.

Moreover, there are both ghosts and gods in the world of Red Mansions, as well as immortals. Who knows if they will be caught and sliced ​​for research because of the exposure of the "time travel" ability?
As the saying goes, "Being careful ten thousand times is not too much, just being careless once is enough." The reason why Wei Xu died in his previous life was actually related to his negligence at the last moment.

But today, when he saw Shi Xiangyun, Wei Xu understood that the matter could not be dragged on any longer.

The process of the world of "Red Mansion" is constantly developing, and it will never stop for any reason. However, although Wei Xu's current strength has improved a lot, it is only personal strength.

If nothing unexpected happened to the entire Xungui Group, it was destined to be finished in the end. It was like a sharp sword had been erected on his head, and it would fall down at any time.

How long does The World of Red Mansions last?

It’s really not long, even when Jia Baoyu was a monk, he was actually less than 20 years old; Cao Xueqin’s 15 original works were only about [-] years old in the end.

This includes the year when Jia Baoyu was born but did not show up. When he officially appeared in the original book, he was already seven or eight years old.

This time and space obviously does not completely correspond to the original work. Among other things, when Shi Xiangyun appeared in the original work, the historian was basically defeated, and he is still dying.

Wei Xu's understanding of the original "Red Mansion" is basically the general direction. I don't remember the details so clearly, but I can also know through comparison. Now it is only two or three years before the official plot unfolds.

Once he enters the official plot, unless he has the ability to break things back on his own, he can only end up with the Xungui Group, just like his cheap brother Wei Ruolan in the original book, who died for no reason.

Moreover, Shi Xiangyun is also the first main character in the original novel he has seen, and in a sense, he can also do an "experiment"-although it is a bit cruel, it has to be done.

"Yun'er, wait here first, I'll find you something to eat." Wei Xu lovingly touched Shi Xiangyun's bun, got up and left the garden.

"How does he know that my parents always call me that?" Shi Xiangyun was left alone, squatting there in a daze.

Without much effort, Wei Xu brought more than half of a roast chicken and a large piece of venison from a dining table, and simply handed them over to Shi Xiangyun who was staring at him when he smelled the aroma.

Anyway, he's full—ahem.

"Yun'er, how old are you now?" In any case, Wei Xu decided to confirm the timeline.

"Nine years old." Shi Xiangyun replied while gnawing on a chicken leg.

"Then where do you live now?" This is related to Wei Xu's plan.

"I live in the second uncle's house." The "second uncle" Shi Xiangyun said was Shi Nai, the second son of the Shi family who inherited the title of Marquis Baoling, and the third son Shi Ding, the Marquis of Zhongjing. "What's the specific location? I mean, which courtyard of the Hou Mansion do you live in? I'll find you when I have time." Wei Xu asked with a smile.

"Looking for me? How do I find it?" Even Shi Xiangyun, who was still young, knew that it was impossible for an old man like Wei Xu to go to other people's homes to find other girls.

"Don't worry about it, anyway, when I find you, don't be too surprised or even scream." Wei Xu said with a smile.

"I don't know exactly where it is, but it's in the small courtyard on the east side in front of the garden." Shi Xiangyun's answer made Wei Xu frown instantly.

Generally speaking, everyone's children live in the inner courtyard of the mansion. In theory, the closer to the middle, the higher the status.

For example, the Rongxi Hall at the core of Rongguo Mansion is currently where Jia Mu arranges for Jia Zheng to live there. Jia She, who is not loved by Jia Mu, can only live in the remote east side courtyard even if it is the contemporary successor of Rongguo Mansion.

Bowlinghou's Mansion is not far from Wei Family's Uncle Zhongyong's Mansion. After all, the two families belong to the same faction. When the mansion was arranged back then, it was "concentrated living".

The general layout of the capital of the Dashun Dynasty was that the imperial palace was located in the center, and the residences of the personnel were rich in the east and noble in the west, poor in the south and humble in the north.

The entire capital city is divided into three floors, the core of which is the imperial palace, outside the imperial palace and within the inner wall is the inner city, the eastern half of the inner city is the residence of the rich, and the western half is the various officials.

There is nothing to explain these two, and they are the same at any time. Outside the inner wall and inside the outer wall is the outer city. The southern half of the entire outer city is dominated by civilians, while the northern half is "untouchables".

Common people are easy to talk about, but untouchables are not so simple. The untouchables here refer to folks, and the official did not say that. This is because the Dashun Dynasty basically inherited the "artisan household" system of the Ming Dynasty, but the "military household" was abolished. up.

The so-called "untouchables" in the mouth of the people are the artisan households that have existed since the founding of the country, including blacksmiths, carpenters, bricklayers, etc., all located in the northern part of the outer city.

Theoretically, this is the "core industrial area" of the entire Dashun Dynasty, which is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry, including arsenals, firearms factories, and so on.

Also in theory, the artisan households are neither fixed nor hereditary. This is because the Dashun Dynasty learned the lessons of the Ming Dynasty, but in fact, craftsmanship is hereditary.

Coupled with the fact that the Dashun Dynasty put forward the term "artisan households", everyone can think of Ming Dynasty artisan households, and naturally classify them as "untouchables".

Therefore, just like the fate of craftsmen in the Ming Dynasty, these people also lived a poor life. They were discriminated against on weekdays, and their marriages were all internal.

In fact, there is actually a "layer" in the capital, but no one cares about it. That is the pure slums outside the outer city wall, and no one will even care about life and death.

Going back to the topic at the beginning, since it is not far away, Wei Xu also roughly knows the internal situation of Bowlinghou's Mansion, which is basically an enlarged version of Uncle Zhongyong's Mansion.

The small courtyard that Shi Xiangyun mentioned just now is basically in front of the back garden of Bowling Marquis Mansion, and there is an aisle less than ten meters away from the east wall, with the door facing south.

Because Uncle Zhongyong's Mansion also has a similar small courtyard, when Wei Xu first crossed over, he lived there.

Considering Wei Xu's original status, Shi Xiangyun's difficulties can be imagined.

"Okay, my name is Wei Xu, from now on you can call me Brother Xu." Frowning, Wei Xu regained his smile, lowered his head and touched his bag and smiled, "This is for you!"

Wei Xu handed it over, but it was an ordinary fine steel sheathed dagger, and it was also something from the martial arts academy at home. It was not a good thing, it was one foot long, with a snow-white exterior, and the handle accounted for about half of the whole, but it was still sharp. .

"Thank you, brother Xu!" Shi Xiangyun, who was already full, took the dagger excitedly, and calling his brother was naturally very sweet.

It was also at this time that Wei Xu was surprised to find that this girl had already killed the venison and ate half of the roast chicken, and rewrapped the rest by the way, obviously her living habits are very good.

"Silly girl, don't hurt yourself." Wei Xu picked her up and gently kissed her on the forehead, "I'll go find you two nights later."

Obviously, he forgot that this was ancient times.

"Brother Xu, you are bad!" Shi Xiangyun blushed with embarrassment.

Wei Xu put her down and smiled softly, gave her another pat on the head, waved his hand and turned to leave. Although everyone was young, he was not going to let her go again.
