The Secret of the Red Mansion Chapter 01 A Miraculous Fate (Martial Arts Science Fiction Adult Novel)

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Keqing opened her eyes and continued to lie lazily, recalling the romance of last night. She smiled sweetly until she heard the birds singing outside the window. She reluctantly got up from the bed, but Jia Rong pulled her back and said lazily, "Little thing, you got up so early, where are you going?"

Keqing turned back to the bed, lying on her husband's chest, and whispered, "The plum blossoms in the garden are blooming. This morning I have to accompany the madam to the West Mansion to invite the old ancestor and several ladies to come and enjoy the flowers." Jia Rong frowned and said, "Why do you always have to do such fancy things? You can invite them another day. You just stay with your husband." Keqing's jade cheeks flushed slightly. Her pointed jade fingers gently rubbed the man's nipples and said in a delicate voice, "The madam told me yesterday... Is this a fancy thing? Be careful that the madam hears it."

Jia Rong put his arm around his wife's pink back, put her face close to his, and whispered in her ear, "How was it last night? Was the thing I brought back good?" Keqing's face became increasingly dizzy, and she didn't answer for a long time. The man's eyes were sharp, so she could only spit out shyly, "I was tossed around all night, and my body is about to fall apart. What's good about it!" Jia Rong was somewhat unwilling to accept it and said, "That thing is a secret treasure of Dian Yu Pavilion. It's very expensive, and ordinary people can't afford it. Didn't you really not like it? Last night, didn't you..." Keqing was afraid that he would say something embarrassing, so she stretched out her hand to gently twist the man's face, bit her lip and said, "Okay... I like it."

Jia Rong laughed and said, "I thought so. How could I not like her after seeing her like that last night? She was so wild..." Keqing was so embarrassed that she twisted the man's mouth and said anxiously, "If you say anything else, I will ignore you!" Jia Rong smiled and whispered in her ear, "How do you feel? Tell your husband about it." Keqing felt numb in her ears because of the man's warmth. She said in a sweet voice, "If I tell you, you have to let her go... Don't make the wife angry."

Jia Rong nodded, and Keqing leaned close to his ear and whispered softly, "Lighting that thing makes one's heart float from beginning to end. The mood is really much better than before. It's not like those knife-like medicines in the past. After using it, you will have no energy at all the next day." Jia Rong said, "What do you mean?" Keqing's pretty face was full of spring, and she said, "I was tormented by you all night last night, but now my body is still warm and comfortable..." Jia Rong was excited. He inserted his hand from the quilt into his wife's buttocks, rubbed the soft and tender part with his fingertips, and smiled, "So you were just coaxing me. In this case, husband, I will make you happy again." Keqing was not willing to pay attention to his excuses. Fearing that her mother-in-law would get angry because of waiting, she resolutely broke free from Jia Rong's arms, got up, put on her clothes, and said to the man who was still lying on the bed and looking at her seductively.

Tiantian smiled and said, "Be good, I'll take care of you when I come back in the evening."

Jia Rong looked at his wife, who looked like a fairy, floating out of the room. Somehow, his thoughts turned to his father, Jia Zhen. He could not help shivering in his warm bed and suddenly felt annoyed.

Keqing followed Youshi and went to the West Mansion early in the morning to invite Lady Jia, Lady Xing, Lady Wang and others to meet in Fang Garden to appreciate the plum blossoms. After having breakfast, Jia's mother and others, together with the old and young, went to the East Palace in a group.

Yu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law accompanied Lady Jia and others to tour the garden. They had tea and then wine, and were entertained at a banquet. There was nothing new or interesting to record.

In the afternoon, Baoyu felt tired and wanted to take a nap, so Grandmother Jia ordered people to coax him well and ask him to rest for a while before taking a nap. Keqing hurried forward and replied with a smile, "We have a room prepared for Uncle Bao. Don't worry, old ancestor, just leave it to me." She then said to Baoyu's wet nurse and maids, "Mammy, sisters, please ask Uncle Bao to come with me." Grandmother Jia knew that Qin was a very decent person. She was graceful and delicate, and behaved gently and peacefully. She was the first person she was proud of among her great-grandson's wives. Seeing her go to settle Baoyu, she felt at ease.

At that moment, Keqing led a group of people to the upper room. Baoyu looked up and saw a painting pasted on it. The characters in the painting were nice, but the story behind it was "The Burning Quinoa". He didn't even look at who painted it, and he felt unhappy. He also saw a couplet that read: "To understand the world is knowledge, to understand human nature is writing." After reading these two sentences, he was determined not to stay there even if the room was exquisite and the furnishings were gorgeous. He hurriedly said, "Get out! Get out!"

Keqing heard this and said with a smile: "It's not good here, where can we go?" Thinking that her husband must be out at this time, she said: "Why not go to my room?" Baoyu looked at Keqing, nodded and smiled, thinking: "A room where such a lovely person lives must be good." But he heard a maid said: "How can an uncle sleep in his nephew's room?" Keqing looked at Baoyu and smiled: "Oh, don't worry about him being upset. How old can he be? He is so taboo about these things! Didn't you see my brother coming last month? Although he is the same age as Uncle Bao, if the two stood together, I'm afraid that the other one would be taller."

Baoyu said, "Why haven't I seen him before? Bring him here so I can see him." Everyone laughed and said, "He's twenty or thirty miles away, where can we bring him? We may never see him again." As they spoke, they came to Qin's room. Just as they reached the door, a faint sweet fragrance came to them. Baoyu felt his eyes soften and he kept saying "What a nice smell!" Keqing suddenly remembered the "Spring Breeze Pastry" that her husband had lit in the stove last night. She couldn't help feeling ashamed and thought, "That person is so careless. He didn't even put out the fragrance when he went out. What should I do now?" Just when she had no idea, she saw Baoyu looking at the painting on the wall. It was Tang Bohu's "Begonia Sleeping in Spring". On both sides of the painting were a couplet written by Qin Taixu, a scholar from the Song Dynasty. The couplet read: The tender cold locks dreams because of the cold spring, and the fragrance envelops people because of the aroma of wine.

Looking at the table in the room, there was the precious mirror that Wu Zetian had set up in her mirror room. On one side was the golden plate on which Feiyan had danced, and in the plate was the papaya that An Lushan had thrown and injured Taizhen's breast. On the other side was the couch where Princess Shouchang slept in Hanzhang Palace, and hanging over it was the linked pearl curtain made by Princess Tongchang. Baoyu was very comfortable and said with a smile, "It's nice here!" Keqing saw that he admired it, and somehow felt a little proud in her heart, and said with a giggle, "I think even gods can live in this room." As she said this, she personally spread out the gauze quilt that Xishi had washed, moved the mandarin duck pillow that Hongniang had held, and helped Baoyu to lie down with the wet nurses. Then everyone dispersed, leaving only the four maids Xiren, Meiren, Qingwen and Sheyue to keep Baoyu company.

Qin told the other maids to watch carefully under the eaves of the corridor, and she took Ruizhu to the garden in front of the house, half-lying on a stone chair under a plum tree to watch the cat and dog fight. I don't know when, but I fell asleep.

Baoyu, who was lying on the bed in the room, thought of Keqing's sweet look as she covered him with a quilt. He gradually became sleepy and fell into a trance. Suddenly, he seemed to see Keqing in front of him, so he followed her to a place where he could see red railings, white stones, green trees and clear water.

The stream is so seldom visited by people, and even dust does not reach it. Baoyu was happy and thought, "This place is interesting. I want to live here all my life, even if I lose my home. This is better than being beaten by my parents and master every day." Keqing was no longer in sight in front of him. As he was daydreaming, he heard someone singing behind the mountain: "Spring dreams disappear with the clouds, flying flowers follow the flowing water. I send a message to all the children: why bother to worry about idleness." The singing had not yet stopped, but a fairy was heard walking out from the other side, dancing gracefully, definitely different from ordinary people, as evidenced by a poem: Just leaving the willow grove, just coming out of the flower room.

Wherever he went, the birds were startled in the trees in the courtyard; when he was almost there, his shadow passed through the corridors. The fairy sleeves fluttered, and the fragrance of musk and orchid was smelled; the lotus clothes were about to move, and the clanging of rings and pendants was heard. Her cheeks are smiling like spring peaches, her hair is piled high with green clouds; her lips are blooming like cherry blossoms, her teeth are fragrant like pomegranates. The slender waist is graceful, like dancing snow in the wind; the pearls and emeralds are shining, in duck green and goose yellow. Appearing and disappearing among the flowers, she may be angry or happy; wandering on the pond, she may fly or soar. Her eyebrows are frowning and smiling, as if she is about to speak but has not spoken; her lotus steps are moving suddenly, as if she is about to stop but is about to go on. I envy his good quality, as pure as ice and smooth as jade; I envy his gorgeous clothes, as dazzling as their patterns. I love his appearance, which is as fragrant as jade; I admire his attitude, which is as graceful as the flying of a phoenix and a dragon. How pure it is: spring plum blossoms blooming in the snow; how clean it is: autumn chrysanthemums covered with frost. How quiet it is: pines growing in the empty valley; how beautiful it is: the sunset glowing in the clear pond. What is its text like: a dragon swimming in a winding marsh; what is its spirit like: the moon shining over a cold river. I should be ashamed of Xi Shi, and really feel guilty about Wang Qiang. How strange! Where were you born? Where does it come from? If he had not returned from the banquet, there would have been no other Yao Chi; he would have been led away by playing the flute, and there would have been no other in the Purple Palace.

Baoyu was so happy that he hurried forward and bowed and asked, "Where did you come from, fairy sister? Where are you going now? I don't know where this is either. Please take me with you." The fairy smiled and said, "I live above the Heaven of Separation and Sorrow, in the Sea of ​​Sorrow. I am the Fairy Jinghuan of the Great Illusionary Realm of the Spring Mountain and the Fragrance Cave. I am in charge of the love affairs and the moon debts of the mortal world, and I am in charge of the resentment of women and men in the mortal world. Because of the recent romantic grievances, I have been lingering here, so I came here to visit and find an opportunity to spread my longing. It is not a coincidence that I suddenly meet you now. This place is not far from my place, and there is nothing else but a cup of fairy tea I picked myself, a jar of fine wine I brewed myself, several girls who practice magic dance and singing, and twelve fairy songs I have newly composed for "Dream of Red Mansions". Will you come with me for a tour?"

When Baoyu heard this, he forgot where Keqing was and followed the fairy to a place where there was a stone tablet with four large characters "Taixu Illusionary Realm" inscribed on it. On both sides were a couplet which read: When the false is made to appear true, the true becomes false; when the non-existent is made to appear existent, the existent becomes non-existent. After passing the memorial archway, there is a palace gate with four large characters written horizontally on it: "Sea of ​​Sin and Heaven of Love". There is another couplet, which reads in large characters: The earth is thick and the sky is high, it is a pity that the love from ancient times to the present is endless; foolish men and resentful women, it is a pity that the debt of love is hard to repay.

Baoyu was puzzled, so he followed the fairy everywhere, knowingly and unconsciously, reading several volumes of the Twelve Beauties of Jinling, smelling the "Essence of Fragrance" made from the essence of newborn exotic flowers in famous mountains and scenic spots and the oils of various precious trees, drinking the "Thousand Reds in One Cave" cooked with the dew on the leaves of fairy flowers in the Qianxiang Cave in Fangchun Mountain, and enjoying the "Dream of Red Mansions" sung by the Twelve Demon Concubines. All this is described in the official history and I will not go into details.

But Keqing was walking in a trance and met a fairy who took her and said, "Sister, you're back. Sister Jinghuan brought back the waiter Shenying today. She wants to marry you to him and let him experience the illusion of food, drink, music and beauty in the hope that you will gain enlightenment in the future. Come with me quickly." Keqing was confused and could not tell what was real and what was an illusion. She even forgot about all worldly affairs, as if she was a person in the fairyland. She just followed me.

It is said that Baoyu listened to the singing of those evil ladies but found it very boring. When Jinghuan saw this, she sighed, "The fool hasn't realized it yet!" So she ordered the singing girl to stop singing, cleared away the remaining food, and took Baoyu to an embroidered room. The decoration inside was something she had never seen before. What was even more shocking was that there was already a woman inside, who was as beautiful and charming as Baochai, and as elegant and graceful as Daiyu.

Baoyu was wondering what this meant when he suddenly heard Jinghuan say, "How many wealthy families in this world, with their green windows and romantic nights, and embroidered pavilions with misty clouds, have all been defiled by lewd playboys and those dissolute women. What's even more hateful is that since ancient times, so many frivolous playboys have used 'lustful but not lewd' as a cover-up. They also used 'affectionate but not lewd' to commit crimes. These are all words to cover up, not to hide ugliness. Lustful is lewd, and knowing affection is even more lewd. That's why the meeting at Wushan and the joy of lovemaking were all caused by being pleased with her beauty and infatuated with her affection." Baoyu was confused when he heard the fairy staring at him and saying, "The one I love is the most lewd person in the world, both ancient and modern times."
