Dahan Shenjing

Four or five miles away from Ningguo Mansion, turn left into a long, narrow alley. After walking for less than a hundred steps, you can see a slightly dilapidated courtyard with mottled green walls standing quietly.

It was raining in autumn, and the pomegranate tree in the middle of the courtyard shook down pomegranate flowers like small lanterns all over the ground, adding to the feeling of desolation after the rain...

Under the east window, the green bamboos are dripping green, and there stands a young man who is only thirteen or fourteen years old. The young man is wearing a starched green shirt that is almost white. His face is clear, and he is holding a blue-covered book in his hand.

He was reading the book attentively. Under his sword-shaped brows, a pair of black and white eyes with clear eyes showed a look of thought from time to time.

He was originally a descendant, but he did not want to come to this world of red buildings, and his soul returned to Jia Heng from the far branch of Ningguo.

Although more than ten days have passed, it still feels like a dream.

There are only a few records about Jia Heng in the original book Dream of Red Mansions.

Since the Dream of Red Mansions narrative did not mention the dynasty and year, he immediately borrowed history books to find out the whole story.

"The great ancestor was a native of Yuyao, a descendant of the ancient Emperor Shun..."

Even though it was not the first time he read this text, Jia Heng was still surprised. He glanced at the two history books in front of the desk and couldn't help but sigh: "This world of Red Mansions is very different from the previous dynasty.

There are some more characters, and some are missing... Especially in the reign of Emperor Shizong, Emperor Jiajing was devoted to cultivating the mysticism, and the treacherous Prime Minister Yan Song was busy with affairs, causing internal and external troubles. In the 29th year of Jiajing, I invaded the capital, invaded the capital, and captured the capital.

Jiajing did not want to hunt south, so he burned himself in the palace... Zhu Ming I, in the 172nd year of his reign, fortunately Chen Huan, a descendant of Chen Youliang, the king of Han Dynasty in the late Yuan Dynasty, raised troops from Yuyao, chased him to the north, swept the world, and established Chen again.

The Han Dynasty established its capital in Xijing for more than ninety years."

Jia Heng was secretly calculating the dynasties in his mind, and suddenly frowned, "This year is the thirteenth year of Chongping, but with Emperor Chongzhen..."

"Bang bang..."

At this moment, the door knocker suddenly sounded outside, interrupting Jia Heng's thoughts.

"Coming, coming..." A woman's voice sounded from the courtyard on the left. A middle-aged woman in Jingchai sarong, over thirty years old, with a scarf tied around her waist, stepped sadly on the grass.

Go to the gravel path and open the door.

Jia Heng also walked out of the room at this moment and stood on the corridor to watch.

The woman Cai was the maid left behind after the death of his predecessor's mother. The predecessor lost her father when she was young and was raised by her mother Dong. Years ago, her predecessor's mother Dong also became ill and died of illness not long after they were in bed together.

.

After that, Cai's family of three took care of his daily life.

"Hey, who do I think you are? This early in the morning, I heard the cry of magpies. It turned out to be Sister-in-law Zhu." The woman Cai was very good at talking. She said with a smile on her face and asked: "Here comes Sister-in-law Zhu.

You are..."

Mrs. Cai was also a little strange in her heart. She secretly thought that apart from celebrating the New Year and worshiping her ancestors, she didn't see anyone from the Rongguo Mansion at all. She didn't know what Jia Zhu's daughter-in-law was doing in this cold house in a shabby alley.

Although Jia Heng is the descendant of Ning Guo, the Eighth House of Ning Guo has already spread out in the capital, and he lives on Rong Ning Street. As for Jia Heng, his branch is about to be released into the fifth service.

The two masters and servants, Li Wan, were dressed in sapphire blue water-sleeved skirts, with crested jade hairpins on their heads. They were slender and had no makeup on their faces. They nodded slightly to Mr. Cai and asked, "Is Brother Heng at home?"

At this moment, a young man in green shirt walked slowly from the corridor, stood opposite Li Wan, raised his hands in greeting and said: "Jia Heng has met Sister Zhu, and was thinking of returning the book to Brother Lang after dinner, but I didn't

It was Heng's fault to bother Mrs. Laozhu to come to the house in person."

After saying that, he looked at Li Wan with a pair of calm and profound eyes, and said secretly, no wonder he is the Twelve Hairpins of Jinling, just in terms of appearance and temperament, he can score ninety points.

Li Wan took a look at Jia Heng and saw that although his clothes were simple, his eyebrows were cold, his expression was sparse, and his behavior was natural and polite. The original unhappiness in his heart dissipated a little, and he said clearly: "Lan'er is a young man.

I was young and couldn't read the history books of the previous dynasties. I was looking through the collection of books and was surprised that a few books were missing. However, I didn't expect that it was Lan'er who lent it to Brother Heng. Fortunately, he was not an outsider. It was just that Lan'er was changing his teeth. Brother Heng,

Don’t buy him any more sour and sweet ones from Laoshizi.”

Jia Heng was silent after hearing this, knowing that Li Wan came to visit with the intention of raising an army to investigate.

Speaking of which, a few days ago, he came to this world. In order to find out some of the ins and outs, he wanted to find some history books to read. He happened to meet Jia Lan, so he bought two candy canes on the street and came up to chat.

Borrow the books from his home and read them.

In fact, I was still short of money. I had enough money to buy the Four Books and Five Classics, but pens, inks, paper and inkstones were not enough. As for the history of the country, I could only borrow the books and read them.

Originally, as a distant branch of Ning State, even if his house was raided in the future, he would not be implicated. However, if he wanted to live a decent life in this feudal era, he had to study and become an official.

Thanks to the teachings of my predecessor's mother, Mrs. Dong, I entered school early, but I was out of character and not a material for reading. In the half year after the death of my predecessor's mother, I even more neglected my studies.

Seeing that Jia Heng was silent, Li Wan had no intention of talking anymore and said casually: "Brother Heng, you should have finished reading the book."

Of course, she just asked casually. She didn't think Jia Heng could learn anything about it. Although she asked about it the next year, Jia Heng's mother, Dong, was a high-spirited person. However, Jia Heng was naughty when he was young and only practiced dancing.

He wields swords and guns, often hangs out with his cousin Dong Qian, and doesn't like reading very much.

Jia Heng nodded as usual and said, "Sister-in-law Zhu, wait a moment, I'll get it right away."

Li Wan frowned, slightly worried about the "safety" of those books, and said, "I'll let you go."

Jia Heng didn't say anything more, and the maid Suyun behind him followed suit.

I walked to the study room. It was said to be a study room, but it was actually a place for daily living. The furnishings were simple, but it looked neat and tidy.

There is a long lacquered wood desk in front of the window. The black paint on the corners is peeling off, which clearly shows its age.

Under the candlestick, there are all kinds of pens, inks, papers and inkstones. Several thick books are placed in the right corner, showing signs of being read.

When Li Wan entered the house, he was ready to hold his breath, but there was no peculiar smell. Instead, there was a faint scent of vanilla, which was refreshing.

Jia Heng stacked the books together, smiled slightly and said, "Sister-in-law Zhu, return the jade to Zhao intact."

The maid Suyun stepped forward to pick her up and called out: "Grandma..."

Li Wanyu paused slightly, his eyes wandering, but he was attracted by a word on the wall next to the case. He saw a couplet written on the wall that seemed to have been written not long ago:

"The sound of wind and rain and the sound of reading are all in my ears; I am concerned about the affairs of the country, family, and the world."

The characters are in regular regular script, and the pen is sharp, like a silver painting with an iron hook, like an unsheathed sword, and the characters are like the person, with sharp edges.

"Is this written by Brother Heng?" Li Wan asked in surprise with a pair of beautiful eyes slightly stunned, seemingly in disbelief.

Jia Heng was startled for a moment and then said with a smile: "Last night when I was studying until the third watch, the rain was hitting the banana trees. I had an idea in my heart and started to doodle carelessly, which made my sister-in-law laugh."

Before he came to this world, he had indeed practiced calligraphy for more than ten years. Although he did not dare to compare himself to others, he was still somewhat qualified and felt that he was worthy of any scholar in this world.

Li Wan looked at Jia Heng with his beautiful eyes, and completely put away his contempt in his heart. He pondered for a moment and said: "Brother Heng, if you want to study, why don't you go to the clan school? If you are not restrained there, the clan still has pens, inks, paper and inkstones.

, Xue Pan, the son of Aunt Xue who lived in the house at the beginning of the year, was studying in the school."

When Jia Heng heard this, his heart moved, and there was a faint light in his eyes. He smiled and said: "I am used to being alone, and it is the same when I study at home."

How could he not know what was going on in the Jia Family School? He really followed the advice of the Northwestern Iron Triangle of Shanxi and wanted to study? What a waste of time!

Li Wan didn't know what Jia Heng was thinking, so he saw that she had her own opinions, so she didn't say anything more. She had a foolish and clumsy temperament, and it was difficult for her to ask a few words about other people's affairs.

After a few more casual greetings, he was about to say goodbye and leave.

Jia Heng walked to the eaves of the corridor and watched Li Wan leave. He shook his head. He had some thoughts about how to deal with the Jia family's broken ship. "The only thing that worries me is that if I become an official in the imperial examination, I may be regarded as a Jia family."

Family man."

This may be the sad part. Political struggles have always been extremely cruel. Unless he is like Jia Yun, the second master on the corridor, he can settle down and be a humble citizen. After the Jia family falls, he may be able to survive alone.

Otherwise, once one takes the imperial examination and becomes an official, no matter how unwilling he is, he will inevitably be regarded as the flagship figure of the Jia family.

Of course, there are also examples of multi-line betting in history.

"Fortunately...there is still time to arrange things slowly." Jia Heng thought for a moment and already had some plans in mind.

Chen Huan, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, reigned for twenty-three years, followed by Taizong for thirty-one years. As of today, Emperor Taishang has reigned for thirty-nine years. Thirteen years ago, Zen was established in this place. Peace has lasted for a long time, and hundreds of evils have accumulated.

There is a fish in the North Ming Dynasty, and its name is Kun. Kun is so big that I don’t know how many thousands of miles it has. It turns into a bird, and its name is Peng. With the back of a Peng, I don’t know how many thousands of miles it has. When it flies in anger, its wings are like hanging down.

The clouds in the sky are birds, and the sea will migrate to Nanming. Those in Nanming are Tianchi.〖Translation〗

Those in "Qixie" are those who are ambitious and strange. "Xie" says: "When the Peng migrates to Nanming, the water hits it for three thousand miles, and it swings up ninety thousand miles, and then it rests for six months."

"Wild horses are like wild horses, dust is like dust, and living things blow each other with their breath. The sky is blue, is it righteous and evil? Is it far away and nowhere is it extremely evil? It looks down, and if so, that's it! [Translation]

Moreover, if the accumulation of water is not thick, it will not be able to carry a large boat; if a cup of water is placed on the col hall, the boat will be made of mustard; if the cup is placed, it will be glued. The water is shallow and the boat is big.

If it is thick, it will be unable to carry its big wings. Therefore, if it is ninety thousand miles away, the wind will blow down, and then it will be Jin Peifeng; if it carries the blue sky on its back and Mo Zhiyaolan, then it will be Jin Jiangtunan.〖Translation〗

Xiaoxue and Xuejiu laughed and said: "I will rise and fly, and the spear will stop with the cannon. The time will not come, and I will only control the ground. Is it ninety thousand miles to the south?"

But on the contrary, the belly is still true; if it is a hundred miles away, it will stay and pound grain; if it is a thousand miles away, it will gather grain in three months. How can you know the two insects! Small knowledge is not as good as big knowledge, and small years are not as good as big ones. How can you know this? Chao

Bacteria don't know Hui Shuo, and worms don't know Spring and Autumn. This is also a small year. There are people in the south of Chu who regard five hundred years as spring and five hundred years as autumn. In ancient times, there were big chuns who regarded eight thousand years as spring and eight thousand years.

The year is autumn. But Peng Zu has heard about it for a long time now, and everyone is so sad! [Translation]

Tang Zhi asked Ji too: To the north of Qiongfa, there is the sea of ​​darkness, which is called Tianchi. There is Yuyan, which is thousands of miles wide, and no one knows how to cultivate it. Its name is Kun. There is bird Yan, and its name is Peng. , His back is like Mount Tai, and his wings are like clouds hanging from the sky. He holds a sheep's horn and goes up ninety thousand miles, cutting off the clouds and carrying the blue sky. Then he goes to the south, and he is suitable for Nan Ming. He scolded Yi and laughed and said: "He is also making fun of him. ?I leap up, but only a few feet down, soaring among the basils, this is also flying to reach, and the other is just right?" This is the debate between small and big.〖Translation〗

The old husband knows that he can serve as an official, his behavior can be compared with that of his hometown, his virtue can be compared with that of a monarch, and he can conquer a country, he thinks of himself like this. But Rongzi of Song Dynasty still laughed at it. If you don't criticize it without adding restraint, it will determine the distinction between inside and outside, and argue about the realm of honor and disgrace. That's it. There are countless things about him in the world. Although, there are still no trees. Fuliezi walked against the wind, calm and cool. However, it is good to have five days in ten days and then turn around. There are countless people who bring good fortune. Although this is not necessary, there is still something to be expected. If you take advantage of the righteousness of heaven and earth and guard against the debate of the six qi, you can travel Those who are infinite will be treated badly! Therefore, it is said: The perfect person has no self, the god has no merit, and the saint has no name.〖Translation〗

Yao ordered the world to follow Xu You, saying: "The sun and the moon are out, but the fire does not stop, it is not difficult for the light! It rains from time to time, but it is still soaking, it is not difficult for the lake. ! When the Master is established, the world is governed, but I am still a corpse, and I feel that I am lacking. Please send it to the world." Xu You said: "The Master governs the world, and the world has been governed, but I still take the place of the son, what will my name be? The famous person is also a real guest. How can I be a guest? The wren nests in the deep forest, but it is no more than a branch; the rats drink from the river, but their belly is full. Return to the king, and I will be of no use to the world! Although the cooks do not manage the cooks, their corpses are blessed. Don't cross the bottles and replace them."〖Translation〗

Jianwu asked Yu Lian Shu: "I heard that Yu Jie Yu's words were big and unreasonable, and he went and never returned. I was frightened that his words were like those of a river man but infinite. They were very different from others and not close to human feelings." Uncle Lian said: " What does it say?" "It is said that there are gods and men living in the mountains of Miaogushe. Their skin is like ice and snow, and their skin is like a virgin. They do not eat grains, but inhale wind and drink dew. They ride on the clouds, ride on flying dragons, and swim all over the world. In addition, his concentration makes the things flawless and the grains ripe. 'I think I am crazy and don't believe it.'" Uncle Lian said: "However, a blind person cannot understand the article, and a deaf person cannot understand it. The sound of bells and drums. Is it only the body that is deaf and blind? The husband knows that it is also there. Her words are like those of a woman at that time. This is a person and a virtue. He regards all the surrounding things as one, and the world is in chaos. Who is it? How can we take the world as our business! As a human being, we should not be harmed by things. We can soak the sky without drowning. There can be great droughts, metal and rocks flow, and earth and mountains are scorched but not hot. The dirt and chaff will be like the pottery that molded Yao and Shun. Which one is it? Willing to use things for things!" The people of the Song Dynasty were suitable for Yue. The Yue people had their hair cut off and tattoos, which was of no use. Yao governed the people of the world and the internal affairs of the sea. He went to see the mountain of Miugushe, the fourth son, and the sun of Fen River. , Yao Ran lost his world.〖Translation〗

Huizi said to Zhuangzi: "The king of Wei gave me the seeds of a big gourd, and my tree grew into a five-stone tree. It was used to hold water slurry, but it was so strong that it could not lift itself up. If you cut it into a gourd, the gourd would fall and there would be no room for it. It is not unreasonable." It's so big that I picked it up because it was useless." Zhuangzi said: "Master is really clumsy in using the big thing. There are people in the Song Dynasty who are good at using medicine without turtles, and they have been doing it for generations. If you hear about it, please buy it. There is a hundred gold in it. They gather their clansmen and plan for it and say: "I have been making money all my life, but I can only count the gold. Now I have a hundred gold skills, please give it to me." The guest got it and told the king of Wu. The more difficult it is, the more difficult it is. The king of Wu sent his general to fight the Yue people in a water battle in the winter. They defeated the Yue people, split the ground and sealed them. If they can seal them with a turtle's hand, or they can seal them, or they can't avoid the waves, the use is different. Today's disciples have Why don't you worry about the five-stone gourd floating in the rivers and lakes like a big bottle, and worry about the gourd falling down and not being able to contain it? Then Master, you still have the heart of being humble!"〖Translation〗

Huizi said to Zhuangzi: "I have a big tree, which people call acanthus. Its big tree is swollen but not in line with the ink, and its branches are curled and not in line. The craftsman does not care about the erection of the ink. Today's disciples say that it is big and useless.

Everyone goes together." Zhuangzi said: "You can't see the raccoon dog alone? He humbles himself and lies down to wait for Ao. He jumps from east to west, not avoiding the high and low. He falls into the trap and dies in blindness. Now I am a cow.

, it is as big as a cloud hanging down from the sky. It can be big, but it cannot hold a mouse. Nowadays, we have a big tree, but it is useless, why not tree it in a country where there is nothing, a vast wilderness, and there is almost no side to it.

, Sleeping and sleeping under it so freely. If you don't have a heavy axe, and the things are harmless, you have nothing to use, so you are in trouble!〖Translation〗
