Infrastructure masters in the red building

"Mr. Jia Fang, thank you very much for participating in our experiment!"

The middle-aged lady extended her hand, shook hands with Jia Fang politely, and introduced herself as a researcher engaged in the scientific research of different time and space, and the young man beside her was her son, who could be regarded as her "assistant".

"You may have heard that there are many parallel time-spaces in this world. The one we are in now is a parallel time-space automatically generated with a time axis pointing to 300 years ago with a great literary work as the background. Mr. Jia, I think you should know this work very well!" The lady got straight to the point and talked with eloquence.

Jia Fang nodded, he could feel the burning eyes beside him, looking at him.

He finally admitted the fact that he came from a different time and space. Shui Xian should have realized this before, but he never confessed to Shui Xian. At this moment, Jia Xin couldn't help but apologize to the people around him.

"After studying this parallel time and space, we found that there are many different time and space phenomena in this parallel time and space, the most obvious of which is space folding-I think the two of you have already discovered these two phenomena."

What the middle-aged lady said was not superficial, but Jia Fang had explained the matter of space folding to Shui Xian, and Shui Xian nodded at the moment, expressing his understanding.

"I happen to have a research topic on hand, which is to study whether there is a mapping relationship between the architectural imagery of classical gardens and historical development. Therefore, we selected this time and space and carried out an experiment."

Jia Fang's eyes widened immediately: "An experiment?"

The woman showed a slight embarrassment on her face, nodded and said: "Yes, it is an experiment. To be precise, we have endowed various functions that people in this time and space consider 'special' according to the various architectural images of classical gardens. It contains a number of important resources and assistance. We hope that people in this time and space will be able to independently promote the development of this time and space after realizing this assistance—”

The more Jia Fang listened, the more shocked he became. Where did the feelings come from? What kind of fairy, behind the scroll, is just a researcher in a different time and space—and his own running back and forth in this world is just an experimental process in the eyes of others.

But Shui Xian had a calm face. These words should be very difficult for him, but Shui Xian listened attentively and tried his best to understand.

"Originally we expected that the 'indigenous' of this time and space would be able to start promoting social progress immediately after discovering the peculiarities of these classical gardens, but later we found that due to existing limitations, this progress was very, very slow. So we Decided to introduce a person with advanced awareness of this era to lead the transformation of this time and space."

"But because the experiment itself involves the architectural imagery of classical gardens, we haven't been able to find a suitable subject until we found you..."

Jia Fang laughed suddenly: "So you asked me if I agreed when I was drunk, and I agreed casually, and you were sent to this time and space immediately?"

"By the way, has your experiment been approved by the scientific ethics committee?"

Jia Fang asked angrily, full of resentment in his heart: this is unfair, he is a person with self-awareness, and the people around him, including those who died in this incident... are all living people, they Why should he be forced to change the trajectory of his life, or even sacrifice his life, for an experiment that is labeled as "science".

"Mr. Jia," the middle-aged lady said without arguing with him, "in our time and space, the scientific ethics of your time and space are slightly different. Of course, this experiment has been approved by the ethics committee, and I want to remind you that it leads to The direct cause of those people and things you are so sad about is not this experiment, but the greed and obsession in some people's hearts..."

There is some truth to what he said, but Jia Fang was still full of anger.

"However, if you really feel that you have been hurt and hit to a certain extent, we can also consider providing you with some compensation..."

Shui Xian has been observing silently from the sidelines, seeing that although the middle-aged lady speaks perfectly, she still has a guilty conscience.Shui Xian thought for a moment, then stretched out his hand to wave to the young man with short hair and short coat, pointed at Jia Fang and said, "He once said that someone was helping him and pointing him out secretly... Is that person you?"

The young man blushed and nodded quietly: "My mother occasionally asks me to monitor that scroll, and I always want to... really want to help big brother!"

Jia Fang turned his face, facing the sincere face of this young man, recalling the cute facial expressions that appeared on his scroll, his anger subsided a little.

"Then, what made you come here in person?" Shui Xian changed the subject, "Just now this one mentioned 'it's over', when you came here...?"

Jia Fang answered the call for him: "Time and space!"

"...Is it to settle some special business?" Shui Xian asked calmly.

"Yes," said the middle-aged lady with a serious face, "We are here, to be precise, it is also for this—" He pointed to the fifth prince's body on the ground.

"In this world, there are a total of three 'time-space folds', which are located in the private gardens of the three of you. Mr. Jia's garden is the largest and richest in layers. We decided to provide you with a transformation space based on the agricultural society; Here in Beijing King, it is an industrialized social space..."

"As for this one, he was supposed to get a space based on commerce and overseas trade, but the folding space went a little wrong, so that he was led to a weapon and equipment base based on "Wu Jing Zong Yao" in the past dynasties , leading to the appearance of firecrackers and handguns in this time and space earlier than we expected."

""Wu Jing Zong Yao"?" Jia Fang had heard of this military work written in the Song Dynasty, and knew that there were city defense weapons like artillery in the book.But I didn't expect that there were firecrackers and handguns in this warehouse.

"In view of the fact that this person is suspected of abusing fire|arms and intends to provoke a fight, it is likely to cause a large-scale war in this time and space-this will violate the principles of the Scientific Ethics Committee, so we came here, that is In order to prevent this person from continuing to do evil." The middle-aged lady stated the reason why they came here.

"Who knew that once we got here, this..." The lady stood in front of her son, lest the boy see the miserable state of the Fifth Prince, "But in this way, the problem of the abuse of arms has been solved, and the equipment base has been closed. It is useless to everyone in this time and space, and can no longer be opened. The problem of the confusion of time and space folding is no longer a problem."

"In addition, Mr. Jia, the experiment has successfully ended, and all your tasks have been completed. Congratulations, it's time for you to return to the original time and space."

"Please don't worry, when you return to the original time and space, your life trajectory will remain intact, only this memory will be added!"

Jia Fang asked in surprise: "You mean, I'm going back to the original time and space soon?"

"Yes!" The woman asked strangely, "Aren't you a very promising designer there? Don't you...don't want to return to this time and space?"

Jia was relieved and at a loss: Of course he wants to return, he belongs there, and he still has a bright future there... However, he is also a human being, and he has created countless ties here in this time and space for so many years, the most important of which is What is...

Jia Fang turned his head and looked at Shui Xian, and saw warmth and tolerance in the other party's eyes, as if saying: You make your own decisions.

So Jia Fang turned around and asked the other party: "What if I choose to stay in this time and space?"

The middle-aged lady was taken aback, probably because she never expected Jia Fang to give such an answer, she shook her head and said, "No..."

"If you stay in this time and space, there will be a trajectory hole in your original time and space, that is, the survival trajectory that originally belonged to you will suddenly disappear. It's fine if you are a loner in this time and space, but you are a well-known designer. If you just disappear like this, it may be investigated as a disappearance case, which may cause social chaos. More importantly, your friends, colleagues, business partners... everyone will be punished because of your disappearance. Influence."

"This kind of consequence is unacceptable to the scientific ethics committee." The middle-aged lady insisted, "Is it really meaningful for you to do this?"

Jia Fang glanced at Shui Xian beside him, and said, "Whether it makes sense or not, only I can decide."

After hearing this sentence, Shui Xian's eyes lit up, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was moved and admired by Jia Fang's courage.

The middle-aged lady felt that this condition was completely unacceptable, and said lightly, "If you insist on doing this, we can completely close all the space foldings in this time and space, and cancel all the peculiarities..."

Jia Fang smiled and said: "But this time and space has developed to this point, even if there are no more ground whips and all kinds of peculiarities, will the development of society stop because of this?"

This time and space has preliminarily established an education system and laid a framework for industrialization. The people have begun to abandon old ideas and accept new things bravely. There are a group of scientific researchers who are diligent in research, and a group of people who dare to speak out and are committed to solving problems. senior intellectuals of...

In the future, no matter who is in power, the first prince or the fourth prince, they will uphold an open-minded attitude, and may even accept the theory left by King Qing, gradually separating the imperial power from the ruling, and the royal family will be separated from power and only become a symbol.

Therefore, the various proposals made by this female scholar do not pose any threat to Jia Fang.

"When...of course not..."

The lady's brow was sweating immediately, she didn't expect Jia Fang to be so persistent.And he really had no way to force Jia Fang: "This...it still depends on your own wishes... But, don't you really want to return to this time and space? That is where you belong. You and the people around you have a common With your recognition, the world will understand you better and recognize your achievements..."

Jia Fang pursed his lips and said nothing: what the other party said was not bad at all, but for him, he couldn't let go of either side - one side was his belonging, and the other side was the person he knew the most.

"Madam, can I have a word with you?" Shui Xian interrupted suddenly, "A word alone!"

As soon as Shui Xian opened his mouth, he learned the way the other party and Jia Fang called each other, coupled with his impeccable demeanor and etiquette, the other party seemed to feel unable to refuse, immediately stretched out his hand and said, "Please!"

But Jia Fang became worried and grabbed Shui Xian's sleeve: "What are you going to talk about?"

Shui Xian said with a smile: "It's nothing, anyway, I won't make decisions for you... Besides, the people outside are definitely in a hurry, and His Royal Highness's funeral also needs to be dealt with immediately..."

He gently pulled his sleeves out of Jia Fang's hand, and made a polite gesture of invitation, and turned around to the other wing of Nuanxiangwu along with the mother and child in front of him.

Jia Fang was stunned on the spot for a long while before he heard the pecking sound at the courtyard door outside.He barely suppressed the doubts in his heart, and hurried out of Nuanxiangwu, and sure enough, he saw that the old emperor, Jia Daishan and others had already turned blue with anxiety, and there was sweat on their foreheads. Seeing Jia let it out, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Only the fourth prince, after heaving a sigh of relief, indicated with his eyes that he wanted to know where Shui Xian was.

Jia Fang, however, was in a state of confusion, unable to respond.

He only felt that the outside world was full of turmoil, and the people around him never stopped coming and going, but it couldn't compare to the turmoil in his heart——

He can let go of everything else after he has arranged it. The only thing he can't let go of in this time and space is Shui Xian.

I don't know how long it took, the fourth prince came over to touch Jia Fang's arm, and said: "He wants you to go to the Ou Xiangxie to wait for him first." After finishing speaking, he left.

Knowing that "he" must be Shui Xian, Jia Fang hurried to Ou Xiangxie.The danger of swords and swords has long been gone in the Lotus Champs Pavilion. At this moment, Jia Fang just saw a pair of black lacquered mussels embedded on the front pillar of the water pavilion. On it was written "The shadow of the hibiscus breaks through the orchid paddle, and the fragrance of water chestnut lotus deeply writes on the bamboo bridge"① .This Grand View Garden can finally make people notice what it should look like.

Jia Fang repeated this pair several times, and suddenly heard the sound of "squeak" on the bamboo bridge behind him, and when he turned around again, he saw Shui Xian coming quickly with a happy face.Jia Fang hurried up to meet him, only to hear Shui Xian say: "I've made an agreement with that side, I'll go with you!"

"what?"

Jia Fang really did not expect that what Shui Xian told him would be such a "good news".

"Yes, I will go with you to your time and space!" Shui Xian said.

At this moment, Jia Fang's heart seemed to explode with joy. He really didn't expect that Shui Xian would come up with such a "best of both worlds" method for him.

Shui Xian knew him very well, if anyone in this world could think of this idea, that would be Shui Xian without a doubt.

"The premise is that we can arrange the affairs here within three days." Shui Xian reminded him, "We must let people in this world think that we didn't disappear out of thin air, and rise to immortality in the daytime!"

"Yes!" Jia Fang clapped his hands with joy—then the logic made sense.If he doesn't return to his original time and space, it will cause chaos over there, but if this time and space is arranged in advance by them, and he leaves with Shui Xian, there will be no problem at all.

But when Shui Xian left, he gave up all his power, wealth and status in this world, and went to a different time and space with himself... all for the sake of fulfilling Jia Fang.

Jia Fang stretched out his hands, took Shui Xian's hand, and said, "Thank you..." He couldn't continue speaking.

But Shui Xian gently pulled out his hand and reminded Jia Fang: "We only have three days, the time is very tight, there is no room for delay!"

Jia Fang slapped the back of his head: "That's true!" He got up quickly, found a pen and paper in the lotus champs, and listed what he had to do.

While he was listing, Shui Xian looked at it, smiled and nodded: "It seems that you have thought about these things many times!"

Jia Fang's list was quite long, detailing everything, including writing a slave release document for Shuangwen and a marriage proposal for Li Qingsong; it also included writing to the emperor that the land in Taoyuan Village should be "co-owned" by the villagers in the village. , trying a brand-new ownership system... He had thought about everything in advance, and he would be very sorry if he didn't leave something behind.

After he had finished writing, Shui Xian smiled and said, "I don't have as many and complicated things to deal with as you—I just need to arrange all the water solutions."

Shui Xian left, and Shui Rong succeeded him as King of Beijing.But the problem is, Shui Rong is still just a child, he needs a proper person to take care of Shui Rong's growth.

"Which candidate do you have?" Shui Xian asked Jia Fang for his opinion.

"Me?" Jia Anxin thought: his contacts are mainly limited to Rongguo Mansion, and other than that, only Gui Xia learns from them, but Shui Xian probably doesn't want to train his little nephew to be a "Frankenstein", right?

After hearing Jia Fang's list of the fourth prince and others, Shui Xian frowned slightly and said, "I want to send Shui Rong out of the capital."

When Shui Xian and Jia Fang leave, Shui Rong will automatically become the heir of "Xiaoyuan".The power of Xiaoyuan Industrial Park would be feared by any ruler, so Shui Xian wanted Shui Rong to stay away from right and wrong in Beijing before he grew up.It was also for this reason that Shui Xian did not choose to hand over Shui Rong to the fourth prince whom he had always been friends with.

Together with Shui Xian, Jia Fang counted all the people they could think of, and Jia Fang suddenly thought of a wonderful candidate: "How about Ru Hai?"

Shui Xianli's eyes also brightened immediately: Lin Ruhai's ancestors were five generations of princes, and he had a deep foundation in Suzhou. After that, he was sent to the south to be an official, far away from the official circles in the capital.

Coupled with Lin Ruhai's disposition and morality, which Shui Xian has always understood, coupled with the teaching of Tanhua who has a criminal record, Xiao Shui Rong's knowledge, no matter what, will not be far behind.

Jia Fang also has another selfish intention, Shui Rong is the future King of Beijing, and when he grows up, he will naturally reach out to support the Lin family.Maybe the Lin family's children and Shui Rong also have their own karma.

The two immediately invited Lin Ruhai over, and solemnly begged them together.Jia Fang also gave Lin Ruhai the Ugly Fish Jade Pendant and the Tianyi Seal that he had always worn on his body, and asked him to hand it over to Shui Rong when Shui Rong grew up in the future.

Lin Ruhai was taken aback: "Why does it seem like it disappeared in the future?"

Jia Fang looked at Shui Xian, Shui Xian was calm, and said indifferently: "I just decided to go to sea with Zi Fang, and it will take three to five years."

Lin Ruhai: ...Huh?

However, this reason is quite convincing. Now that the world is peaceful and there are no internal worries, the outside world does not know what it is like.Lin Ruhai knew that Shui Xian had thought of visiting the Quartet a few years ago, and now that he has met Jia Fang who has the same goals, it is not surprising that he went side by side.

With such an excuse, Jia Fang and Shui Xian really explained everything that needed to be explained in just three days, and said goodbye to relatives and friends.The two of them finally got together in the back garden of Prince Shuixian's mansion, sitting in the "sit with someone".

"The hour is coming."

That day was the departure time agreed by Shui Xian and the researchers, father and son.

Sure enough, when the time came, the pool of clear water that Zuozuoxuan with whom was facing would naturally separate from it, forming a tunnel that travels through different time and space.

Jia Fang reached out to grab Shui Xian's hand, but was gently pushed away by the other party.

"You go first, I'll follow you!" Shui Xian said.

Jia Fang suddenly wondered: What kind of rule is this?

"One more thing, I'm not quite like you. I haven't experienced such a miracle, traveling between different... time and space. So the father and son told me last time, this time to go to your time and space, I must Follow behind you, and you...you can't turn back until you leave this space-time tunnel."

- Can't turn back?

Which fairy tale is this part of?Returning to the human world from the underworld, once you return, will you lose your love forever? ②

"Promise me, you will never turn back! Never!" Shui Xian's voice was serious, "Swear with all your heart for me—"

Jia Fang suddenly had a premonition of something, and his heart began to ache vaguely—once he looked back, he would lose his love forever, but if he didn't look back, how would he know that Shui Xian was really following him well?

But Shui Xian suddenly hugged him back, hugged him very tightly, then let go, stretched out his hand and patted Jia Fang's shoulder heavily, and said: "You have to trust me, I gave up everything in this world, yes In order to spend the rest of my life with you, I also swear with my heart that no matter what happens, you and I will meet each other eventually."

"Jia Fang, you have to be brave!"

After Shui Xian finished speaking, he gently pushed Jia Fang into the space-time tunnel in front of him.After he stepped into the tunnel with one foot, Shui Xian reminded again: "From now on, don't look back!"

Otherwise, the most precious thing will be lost.

Jia Fang walked forward involuntarily, and the scene of "sit with someone" disappeared after a while.The whistling wind began to ring in his ears, and after a while he couldn't even hear the wind, and he walked slowly through time and space in the silence.

The most frightening thing was that in this silence, he couldn't even hear his own footsteps, let alone Shui Xian's.

He has no way of knowing whether Shui Xian is still following him, let alone whether Shui Xian is well.

But at this moment, he had no choice but to stiffen his neck, control his impulse, and walk forward without looking back.

In the eternal sky, it is so lonely all the way.Jia Fang walked with tears streaming down his face.He knew that that person must have shouldered more burdens than him, and for the sake of the other person's entrustment, he had to go on and live no matter what.

Finally, Jia Fang saw an exit in front of his eyes.

A little bit of dim, warm light emerged from the exit.Jia Fang quickened his pace, and a city he was familiar with seemed to appear in front of him.

Before leaving the tunnel, he hesitated again, turned his head, and greeted: "Shui Xian, Shui Xian!"

No one answered him.

Jia Fang's heart sank completely.

He finally walked out of the tunnel. He had already changed into modern clothes, and he still smelled of alcohol. It was obvious that he had returned to the time before the time travel, and arrived at the night when the celebration reception was held.

Jia put his head back.

Behind him is the night scene of a modern city, the street lights are shining brightly, a taxi is coming this way, honking its horn, "Didi——"

Nearby is a roadside stall, probably engaged in a small barbecue business, bursts of tempting aromas come, and a customer next to it reminds the stall owner: "Add more spicy peppers and cumin!"

"okay--"

This is his city, a place he is very familiar with, modern, non-stop running, but also a city, with fireworks everywhere.He deeply loves every reinforced concrete skeleton in this city, as well as its beautiful skyline, flowers and greenery.

But when he came back this time, he felt that he had lost something, and his heart was so empty that he panicked.

Following his long-standing memory, he returned to the door of his home, took out the key from his pocket, opened the door, turned on the light, and took a shower—the light in the house was so bright that it dazzled him... He lay down alone, letting his body once again Experience the soft bed, but think about other things.

——Finally, he has the ability to love someone, and he is no longer alone.

He came back here alone.

Love is separated by mountains and seas, and mountains and seas cannot be flattened.Destined... so the sadness comes from it.

Jia Fang just lay quietly on the couch all night, but the next day he got up according to his old habit, and went to work in the construction office early.

Shui Xian said: Be brave, no matter what happens.

Jia Fang secretly made up his mind that he would do everything Shui Xian said.If he can meet again one day in the future, he will tell Shui Xian that he has never failed and has been working hard to be a better person.

"Morning, Brother Fang!" Colleague Xiao Zhou was very surprised when he saw Jia Fang, as if he didn't expect that he just got drunk at the celebration reception last night, and he came to work so early today and with such enthusiasm. Party A's father".

"The next case is the restoration of a classical private garden, and Party A has appointed you." Xiao Zhou handed over the stack of documents in his hand to Jia Fang, "But before that, the new lawyer in the firm wants to meet you."

"Lawyer?" Jia Fang asked listlessly.

"Yes, he specializes in intellectual property protection. I heard that he is quite famous in the industry. Several partners said that they did not expect to hire him."

Jia Fang said "Oh" and said, "Give me his business card, and I'll see when I can contact him."

Xiao Zhou hurriedly handed over his business card, curled his lips and added, "That guy is really handsome. Everyone says that your status as 'the most handsome in this firm' may be shaken."

"The most handsome in this office? What kind of terms are you talking about?" Jia Fang was speechless, took the business card, and carried it into his office along with the documents.

It took him more than ten minutes to look at the restoration plan of the classical private garden, and after jotting down all his thoughts, he finally had the time to glance at the business card that had been thrown on the table earlier.

Jia Fang pushed the table and jumped up.

He ran to the door of the office and called loudly: "Xiao Zhou, help me contact the new lawyer, now, immediately—"

However, it is no longer necessary.

A heart surged with ecstasy, beating violently in his chest.

The new intellectual property lawyer is now standing opposite him, politely pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of the nose, and then extended his hand to him:

"Water Constitution—"

"First meeting, please take care."

The corners of the handsome man's lips were raised, and he seemed to say with a smile: After so long... I finally saw you.

I love every day when it's hard and trying my best

I will miss all these twists and turns
