Chapter 4708 4711 [Low Martial Arts World]
"Second Master, are you really a god?" Qingwen asked boldly.
"Of course, it's real." Xiang Nan nodded.
"What is the life of a god like?" Qingwen asked curiously.
"Not very good, very boring." Xiang Nan waved his hand, "Not as interesting as the human world."
"No way? Aren't gods very free and easy?" Qingwen asked doubtfully.
"Free and easy, but boring is really boring." Xiang Nan nodded, "The days in the fairy world will not change for a thousand or ten thousand years."
As he said that, he pointed to the enamel clock on the table, "Like this clock, as long as it is motivated, it can go on like this for a thousand or ten thousand years, but can you say that this clock is happy?"
Qingwen was stunned, then shook her head.
"That's why I want to go down to the world and visit this gentle and wealthy place." Xiang Nan smiled.
"I see. Then when will you go back to heaven, Second Master?" Qingwen asked curiously.
"I'll go back when I'm done playing." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "But I'm not just playing by myself. If you have any wishes, just tell me. As long as it's reasonable, I can help you realize it."
"What wishes can we have? We just hope that the ancestors, the master, the wife, and the second master are well." Xiren said hurriedly.
"You are always so virtuous, thinking only of everyone, not yourself." Xiang Nan nodded and smiled, "In fact, this is also my wish. They gave birth to me, raised me, loved me, and loved me, so I will naturally not treat them badly. I will let them all live a long life, be healthy, prosperous, and enjoy family life."
"If the second master can do this, we will be relieved." Xiren nodded.
"Why should I worry about me? Am I a yaksha evil ghost?" Xiang Nan said with a smile.
"Of course not." Xiren waved her hand quickly.
"You don't have to worry. I'm a god, not a monster. I won't kill innocent people." Xiang Nan comforted, "We're still the same as before."
"Yes." Everyone nodded.
But Xiang Nan knew that it was basically impossible to go back to the past.
...
After talking for a while, Xiang Nan returned to the bed to meditate and regulate his breathing, and released his induction power to look at the entire world of "Dream of Red Mansions".
It can be seen that although there are gods, monsters, the underworld, and the fairyland in this world, the overall technological progress is similar to real history.
Europe has already started the Age of Exploration, and trade with China is very hot and prosperous.
The Jia family has Western imported clocks, pocket watches, perfumes, glass, cloth, snuff, wine, headache medicine, golden pheasant fur, duck cheek fur, etc.
Xiang Nan knew that in another one or two hundred years, China might suffer the fate of the real world again, which is also the "end of the world" mentioned repeatedly in the book.
Although Xiang Nan tried to stop it, he didn't want to do it.
Because it is totally unnecessary. Although there are gods, monsters, and the underworld in "Dream of Red Mansions", these have nothing to do with ordinary people.
Those gods do not care about human affairs, they are all high in the sky, far away from the world. Even if the Great Master Mangmang and the True Man Miaomiao walk in the world, one is a bald monk and the other is a crappy Taoist priest, and they are only willing to save those who are destined to be saved.
Therefore, the world of "Dream of Red Mansions" is generally just a low-level martial arts world. Xiang Nan can't learn anything new here, so he is naturally too lazy to stay longer.
And I don't know how many people he has to kill to forcibly reverse the world trend.
After all, Europe is almost about to carry out the Industrial Revolution and the Enlightenment.
The Industrial Revolution and the Enlightenment have liberated Europe from productivity to thought, and have raised it to a new height.
If Xiang Nan wants to stop it, he must kill them all. Although he can do it, it is really unnecessary. Anyway, the Ming Dynasty can last for about one or two hundred years, and Xiang Nan has enough for this hundred years.
…
While Xiang Nan was meditating and regulating his breathing, Xiren had secretly told Mrs. Wang what Xiang Nan had said.
Mrs. Wang couldn't help but chant a few more Buddhist words when she heard Xiang Nan say this, "Amitabha! He can think this way, which shows that he still has filial piety and is still my son."
"At this point, the rise and fall of our Jia family, honor and disgrace, all depend on Baoyu." After hearing this, Jia Mu also said, "I hope this child will do what he says."
Others also echoed.
"Baoyu has always been knowledgeable and sensible, it doesn't matter."
"Baoyu grew up under our care. He has been loyal and kind since he was a child. He will never harm us."
"Since Uncle Bao is a god, he shouldn't harm us."
No mistake, one poem, one post, one content, one book, one bar, one 6, one book, one bar, one look!
Everyone said one after another.
The male relatives were also anxiously waiting for news from the palace.
But no one came to report for a long time, which made them anxious. They didn't know whether the emperor would appease or eliminate their Jia family.
……
At this time, Xiang Nan had finished his meditation and came to see Jia Mu and Wang Furen and said, "Grandma, Madam, I want to go to the palace and bring my sister back."
Yuanchun is now working as a female historian in the palace, a kind of female official in the palace, not a concubine.
Shen Defu, a great man in the Ming Dynasty, recorded in "Ye Huo Bian·Gong Wei·Female Scholars": "All palace maids who have been taught by the eunuchs and are proficient in literature and reason are first female scholars. They are promoted to female historians, palace officials, and even the seal holders of the six bureaus."
Although she is not a concubine, once she enters the palace, it is like entering a deep sea. She has been away from home for seven or eight years and has not returned once.
In the eyes of the common people, the Jia family is a noble family with slaves and maids. But in the eyes of the royal family, the Jia family is just slaves.
The eldest daughter of the Jia family was also a slave in the palace. Even if she became a virtuous concubine, she was still a concubine, not the queen.
Therefore, the maids and servants in the Jia family actually echoed the masters of the Jia family.
For example, Jiao Da followed the master to the battlefield. After the defeat, he risked his life to rescue the master. He endured thirst and gave water to the master, making great contributions.
In the past, Jia Yan and Jia Yuan also followed the previous emperor Hongguang to fight on the battlefield and made great contributions, so they were named the second duke of the same family. Now, as time has passed, Jia Zhen no longer remembers Jiao Da's contributions, and the new emperor Jiaxing no longer appreciates the contributions of the Jia family.
For example, Jia Yuanchun had to serve the emperor, the queen mother, the emperor, and the queen before she could go home late at night. She had to go back to the palace as soon as the time came, and she couldn't even stay overnight.
When Xiren's mother was seriously ill, she asked for leave to go home to visit her. Even if she was in a hurry to see her for the last time, she had to dress up according to the rules, for fear of losing face in the Jia family.
Jia's mother knew that she had to observe mourning, and she also said, "You can't talk about filial piety with the master."
Yuanchun entered the palace originally to become a concubine. In this way, the Jia family can also benefit from it.
Just like Yuanyang said, "No wonder everyone envies other people's daughters for becoming concubines. The whole family relies on her to be domineering, and the whole family has become concubines! If I get the face, you will be domineering outside and call yourself uncle."
But now, the Jia family can be the emperor, so who cares about a "concubine". It's better to bring my sister home and reunite with her family.
