Chapter 1, Gambling
Either using glass beads to stand on plum blossom stakes, or practicing magic tricks, as well as other techniques such as the light wave step through ropes, pin transfer, sewing grapes, and pinching green beans
It is precisely Jia Gan, Jia Qi, and Jin Rong, among others
In the Great Qian, within a hutong of the Xicheng Qunxianfang in the capital city of the gods, a series of clamorous sounds emanated from a two-entry courtyard
Jin Rong, upon hearing this, spat and angrily turned back to the front. After retrieving two dice, he raised his chin and arrogantly declared: "What do you mean by losing? That's called gambling! It's not worth mentioning... I bet small, just watch!"
However, the knowledge that can be foreseen is merely the various techniques of flirting and the countless romantic escapades of Master Jia Er within the Grand View Garden
This is the most contemptible origin of this era
Jin Rong glared and shouted: "What are you looking at? Hurry up and throw! You must be small; I want to bet again!"
Small! Small! Small!
I do not gamble; I only roll the dice on behalf of Jia Huan. If he wins, you will return that five hundred silver to Jia Huan. He is only five years old
Jia Cong squinted slightly, not even glancing, and with a casual lift of his hand, tossed it onto the table.
Seeing him act so arrogantly, I initially ignored him and then shouted loudly: "What dice are you betting that you will lose?"
Can he help you? Last time, he just got lucky and happened to guess right once!
There are some mischievous individuals, but their intentions are not too malicious. In the Jia family, Jia Huan is the only one who frequently seeks him out to play.
Moreover, whether this is due to his frequent reading of "Dream of the Red Chamber" in his previous life is not a matter that needs to be deeply examined
His behavior, without waiting for Jia Gan and the others to react, provoked one person, namely Jin Rong
Yet at this moment, it feels as if it were a casino
A truly massive pit
Is this statement something that can be said casually?
Seeing the child tugging at his sleeve with all his might, Jia Cong slightly frowned and said: "Jia Huan, have you lost another bet?"
Not to mention that his mother passed away early, he also comes from a background as a courtesan.
The gentle and amiable Jia Yingchun, his own daughter, was offered to the wolf of Zhongshan, Sun Shaozu, for a price of five thousand taels of silver
Jin Rong was both embarrassed and angry, her face nearly turning purple, wishing she could crush those dice into a pulp with a single kick
Although Tan Chun is married far away and Bao Yu has become a monk, life must go on
The dice is merely one of the most classic and fundamental props among many magic tricks
A group of adolescents in front suddenly burst into a fit of laughter
The green brick walls and gray tiles, surrounded by trees, are situated in a tranquil area, making it an excellent place for reading
Jin Rongben is nothing remarkable, merely a "borrowed student"
However, Jia Cong truly did not have the heart to accompany this cheap old man to the grave
Embrace the thick thigh of the hidden dragon in advance, then turn your hand to summon clouds and cover your hand to bring rain
Jia Cong, help me win it back quickly
Jia Cong was once most skilled in magic
Yet what he traverses is a fictional world created within a book
If even Jia Lian is like this in welcoming spring, how much more so is he...
Seeing that Jia Cong did not rise, Jia Huan anxiously jumped up and said: "Jia Cong, you must go help me win it back!"
Jin Rong Xiong Lou! Jin Rong Xiong Lou!
In the end, when great calamity struck, Jia Zheng's family might still be able to preserve themselves, and even have the opportunity for a resurgence.
3, 5, 8 o'clock!
After all, he has never been exposed to real gambling
Jin Rong became even angrier, his face flushed as he said: "Am I afraid? If we are to gamble, then let us gamble! Do you really think of yourself as something special?"
Although he appeared to be only five or six years old, he had a loud voice and was sweating profusely as he shouted: "Jia Cong, hurry up... you must help me win it all back!"
I have lost everything!
He has all the treatment that a master should have
In the last row of the study hall, Jia Cong silently recited an article once more. Observing the increasingly boisterous scene in front of him, he couldn't help but shake his head in disapproval
The plaque inscribes four large characters: Jia Clan Academy of Righteousness
Jia Cong is certainly not a gambling god; rather, every surgeon must possess a pair of exceptionally skillful hands
Feeling vexed, wondering what name was unfortunate in a past life, yet I am destined to be called Jia Cong
The world of the Red Chamber
Rubbing his temples due to the headache, he no longer had the inclination to appreciate the osmanthus flowers
As a result, Jia Huan became even more inclined to be close to Jia Cong, often coming to seek him out for play and to establish a sense of presence
Just as I was about to lower my head to read again, a child suddenly rushed over from the front
What is even more frustrating is that others may still wait for the tree to fall and the monkeys to scatter, each needing to find their own way out
Pit
However, the situation of the main branch of the family was different. Thanks to Jia She’s "great fortune", almost all the members of this branch suffered severe casualties due to the collective punishment.
Jia Huan's face turned red with anger, and feeling distressed over the money, he looked eagerly at Jia Cong, his voice tinged with a sob as he said: "Jia Cong, will you help me?"
A father, unexpectedly sending a woman to his son's room, has caused chaos in the Jia family's household, leaving it in disarray
Only he, the son of Jia She, cannot escape even if he wishes to
However, although Jia Huan is much better than him, there is still a Master Bao Er, who was born with a jade pendant, above him, and he is countless times stronger.
Although on ordinary days Jia Huan can be somewhat annoying, he is still just a child
Secondly, Aunt Zhao was originally a born servant of the Jia family, a familiar and well-known member of the household.
Big, big ... ...
Such behaviors are countless
I am the number one dice expert in Dong Er Hutong, and I mean it!
Yet, two ivory dice rolled several times before coming to a stop
Yesterday, my third sister gave me five hundred coins and instructed me to buy some trivial items on my way back from school today, such as small baskets woven from willow branches, incense boxes carved from bamboo roots, and clay stoves...
Hahaha
A year ago, he was still a surgeon on Earth. After performing several heart surgeries in succession, he inexplicably became a庶子 in a noble residence in this world
He opened his eyes wide in anger and glared at Jia Cong, saying: "It's your turn!"
Jia Cong turned to Jia Huan and said: "It is your gamble, you should wipe it with a cloth first."
In order to obtain a few fans, he forced Jia Lian to harm others, leading to their ruin. When Jia Lian refused to comply, he was beaten to the brink of death and could not get out of bed
I often hear Jia Huan complain about how formidable his third sister is and how she bullies him by twisting his ear
completely unaware
With Wang Xifeng as a "backing", and being aware of Jia Cong's situation, Jin Rong considers himself to be somewhat "nobler" than Jia Cong
In the entirety of "Dream of the Red Chamber," when it comes to the master of deceiving children, Jia She would dare to claim the second place, but no one would dare to claim the first.
In the future, there will be more like Jia Lan, with a proud head adorned with hairpins, a waist gleaming with a golden seal, and a dignified noble rank elevated high.
As one ages and gains experience, it also cultivates in surgeons a pair of skilled hands that are "steady," "precise," and "swift"
The issue is that even if he had thoroughly read a copy of "Dream of the Red Chamber" in his previous life, he would still remember all the details by heart
Having said that, he held two ivory dice in his hands close to his mouth, blew a breath, then closed his eyes and muttered a couple of phrases in a trance. After that, he tossed them onto the table, widened his eyes, and desperately shouted "small".
The "Third Sister" mentioned by Jia Huan refers to the renowned Jia Tanchun.
A faint fragrance of osmanthus wafted through his nose. Turning his head to look at the osmanthus tree outside the window, a hint of melancholy flashed in Jia Cong's eyes as he slowly fell into contemplation
Indeed, it has come to pass that Jia Gan, Jia Qi, and Jin Rong, those with malicious intent, have deceived us...
Half a month ago, Jia Huan was coaxed by several older Jia family youths to play dice. At just over five years old, he could hardly understand anything, and naturally, he lost quite thoroughly
In this era where filial piety is paramount, encountering such a cheap father is almost insurmountable
Since we have come, let us make ourselves comfortable
Ultimately achieving the way and becoming king
A beautiful and delicate flower in a golden boudoir, only to perish in a fleeting dream after just one year
Holding back the impulsive Jia Huan, Jia Cong reined in his smile and said calmly: "I will take the fall first, you go ahead and take yours."
Only a clever girl remains, and she almost ended up being sold into a brothel
When the father calls, the son must depart; the son has no choice but to leave
Sigh...
Small, small...
After a series of rolling and tumbling, the two ivory dice gradually came to a stop
It is merely regrettable that most of the historical dynasties traversed by others are those of serious significance
Having said that, Jin Rong pecked fiercely at the face of the boy beside her and laughed, "Isn't that right? Xiang Lian!"
With the presence of Lady Jia, it can barely be considered as having a proper and noble lineage
Upon witnessing a scene, Jia Cong suppressed the faint feeling of nausea rising within him
Jia Cong took the hand and glanced at Jin Rong
Later, Jia Mu noticed that her complexion had improved, so she rewarded Jia Zheng with a new residence.
In his previous life, during his leisure time, Jia Cong had also read some historical time-travel novels online
And Jia Cong ... ...
The distinction in status is as if between clouds and mud
However, although Jia Cong has been in this world for over a year, he has never entered the inner courtyard of the Rongguo Mansion, and naturally, he has not seen those extraordinary women from the Dream of the Red Chamber
However, dealing with a group of children around the age of ten is truly not difficult
Regarding the matter of time travel, while it is indeed difficult to avoid feelings of shock and sorrow, it is not entirely unfamiliar either
In the precious land of Xicheng in the capital, such a residence holds significant value
However, his aunt Jia Huang's wife is exceptionally skilled at pleasing the current mistress of the Rongguo Mansion, Second Mistress Wang Xifeng
A few people in the crowd turned their heads, looking at Jia Huan with a frown and a grimace, which made him even more infuriated and jump up and down.
After months of aimless searching and despair, he finally calmed down
Jia Gan and Jia Qi are the descendants of the fourth and fifth branches of the Jia family in the capital's eight branches, while Jin Rong belongs to the "external relatives"; he is the nephew of Jia Huang's wife from the third branch
Jia Cong chuckled lightly and said, "You don't dare?"
Firstly, his mother, Aunt Zhao, is still alive and is highly favored, so Jia Huan, being favored by his mother, would not be looked down upon too much by others
Jia Cong saw him with a flustered expression and red eyes, and said in silence: "Knowing that they are deceiving you for your money, how can you still dare to use the public funds to gamble?"
This year, I am just over five years old and have only been in school for half a year.
Utilize historical knowledge to seek benefits and avoid harm, transforming dangers into safety
It is all in good fun, regardless of who wins or loses
Hahaha
Seeing him cry like that, Jia Cong stepped forward and casually "covered" for him a couple of times, helping him win back what he had lost
Moreover, his legitimate eldest son, Jia Lian, is also subjected to various pitfalls
Although both are of illegitimate birth, Jia Huan and Jia Cong are different from each other
This child is Jia Zheng's youngest son, Jia Huan
She previously warned me that if I dared to embezzle, I should be careful of my skin
Pah! I am still the number one gambling god of South City Eighteenth Street, so what if it's small!
Jia Huan was excitedly laughing at Jin Rong's misfortune, and upon hearing Jia Zong's words, he disregarded his "disrespect" and hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe the two dice twice before handing them to Jia Zong
Furthermore, there is the tragic conclusion of "After the three springs, all the flowers have withered, each must seek their own door" and "The vast expanse of white land is truly clean"
If one focuses on the main entrance of this residence, it becomes clear
Big! Big! Big!
In comparison to true masters of gambling, Jia Cong may still be lacking somewhat
As for other historical trends, such as who becomes the emperor and who becomes the chancellor, who is the hidden dragon and who is the sunken ship, which powerful figure to cling to in order to turn the situation around and resolve the crisis
A crowd of onlookers, not content with the situation, began to laugh loudly and mock.
Although "the road to the yellow springs is bleak and tragic," this also indicates that the Jia family at least remains safe and secure, without being implicated in any crimes
Observing Jia Gan, Jia Qi, and the approaching Jia Rui and Jia Qiang, Jia Cong spoke in a calm tone
Therefore, within the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Huan is able to reside openly in the inner courtyard, while Jia Cong finds it difficult to even enter the main gate of the Rongguo Mansion
Jin Rong approached, holding a frail student, and glanced at Jia Cong, shouting that it was he who had just made a bet with Jia Huan
From the sound, the owner of the voice seems to be quite young
