[Red Chamber] When I became Grandma Liu

Since the afternoon, the first snow in this winter has fallen, and the pedestrians on the road are in a hurry, most of them are young and middle-aged people who have come to buy new year's goods.Therefore, the appearance of this old woman on the way with her grandson is a little more eye-catching.

Many passers-by glanced pitifully at the shabby-clothed old man and young man, but no one knew the horror and roar in the old woman's heart.

This old woman is Grandma Liu, and the soul in this shell is Liu Cui from later generations.

Liu Cui never imagined that all this is real!I really accidentally had a car accident, and was rescued by a passing fairy, but there is no free lunch in the world, the fairy gave me a chance, as long as I completed the task he gave me, I could go home.

Therefore, Liu Cui not only wears books!

And she was wearing the well-known "Dream of Red Mansions".

It was still the loyal Grandma Liu.

Grandma Liu has just returned from the "autumn breeze" of her distant relatives Jia's mansion. At this time, Jia's mansion is still a well-known and powerful family. The housekeeper's sister Feng saw that she was old, and in addition to the 20 taels, she gave her an extra penny to go back in a carriage. , but Grandma Liu was reluctant to spend money, thinking that she would be home within a few tens of miles, but she didn't want to see the first snow just after leaving the city.

Walking halfway, I passed a ruined temple and took a nap, and when I opened my eyes again, Liu Cui was replaced inside the shell.

As soon as Liu Cui arrived at Grandma Liu's body, after a period of dizziness, she received the memory from her original body. When she opened her eyes and saw this scene again, her face immediately turned green. This is really a hell-level task!

But he had no choice but to have nowhere to go, so he had to brave the snow, dragging his grandson on his back for a while, carrying 20 pennies in his pocket, cursing in his heart while rushing home.

This damn weather, why is it snowing, why is it so difficult to walk these tens of miles, Grandma Liu, why are you so stingy, you can’t even pay for the car ride! You’re so old, and you still have to walk for dozens of miles, even if you How about a donkey cart?

When will I be able to get home!

Liu Cui muttered to herself, but she didn't feel too tired, so she walked to Wangjiacun with Ban'er, who was already asleep, on her back.

Unfortunately, when I was about to enter the house, the little chubby lady next door opened the door diagonally and saw Liu Cui coming back with a board on her back. The two of them were covered in snow, and Liu Cui was even more tired in this snowy day. It's sweat.

This little chubby lady had a feud with Wang Gou'er's house. Many years ago, when her father-in-law was dying, she sold her big house, which is the house where Liu Cui currently lives, to Wang Gou'er's father at a low price, and the dog's family picked it up. It was a great bargain, and the little fat lady's father-in-law put all the money he got in the hands of the village chief to hold a funeral for himself.No property is left to his son and daughter-in-law.

How can this prevent the little fat lady who has long regarded the house as her own from secretly hating her!

Moreover, this little fat lady and this Liu Cui have been at odds with each other. Seeing this scene, the little fat lady started to laugh without thinking: "Oh! Who is this? Isn't this Grandma Liu who went to the city to visit relatives? What's wrong? ? Your relatives are reluctant to hire you a donkey cart. It’s so poor! Wang Gou’er’s family, which was so rich in the past, is now extremely poor.”

In the past, Grandma Liu probably didn't bother to give the little fat lady a look, and was in a hurry to go home!Everyone in the village knows what kind of virtue this woman has.With pink eye disease, you only see your own well-being, but not others!

But Liu Cui is different from Grandma Liu, Liu Cui is only 20 years old, just like a teenager.Although he had no choice but to enter Grandma Liu's body, he still had a sense of arrogance, especially when he didn't like the villain's complacency, but he didn't want to have unnecessary quarrels with this little fat lady, so he had a thought, and "inadvertently" fell out of his arms. Pack heavy things.

The little chubby lady was taunting Liu Cui, turning her body sideways to express her disdain, but her eyes were squinting up and down to look up and down at the grandparent and grandson, which was a bit funny.

At this time, I also saw a bag of things falling out of Liu Cui's arms, although Liu Cui quickly picked it up again, and put it back carefully.

But that little chubby girl has sharp eyes, and her family was once wealthy, so she has some knowledge. Although she doesn't know what's in the bag, just by the delicate patterns embroidered on it, she knows that it's not like Grandma Liu's family can afford it. Yes, it looks like something from a wealthy family.

Could it be that Grandma Liu really borrowed money? !

Thinking of this, the little fat lady's face froze, and she couldn't maintain the akimbo posture, and her momentum involuntarily weakened a little.

Liu Cui picked up the bag of silver and put it back in her arms, straightened up and said to the little fat lady, "It's rare that you care so much about me, little fat lady, let's go get together some other day."

"No, no, no, I suddenly remembered that the family is still cooking, so I'm going first." The little fat lady muttered a few words, and quickly retreated home.

In this room, Wang Gouer and Liu Lan rushed out when they heard the movement at the door. They happened to see the scene between Liu Cui and the little fat lady. The little fat lady backed away in disgrace, feeling secretly refreshed.

Liu Cui sneered secretly when she saw the little chubby girl retreating, instead of belittling others with jealousy, it's better to take care of herself.

Turning around, a couple was already standing at the door.One is slightly taller, with thinner eyebrows and small eyes, inexplicably glib; the other has curving, thin eyebrows and regular facial features, giving a pleasant feeling.But the two looked sluggish, with some white hair on their heads, as if they were in distress.

This is Liu Cui's daughter Liu Lan and her son-in-law Wang Gou'er.

Facing this person who was closest to the original body, Liu Cui, as a person who became "Grandma Liu" not long ago, although she inherited her grandmother's memory, she was still at a loss and didn't know how to deal with it.

Luckily, Liu Lan and Wang Gou'er were people with good eyesight. When they saw their mother turn around, they hurried forward. Gou'er hugged the board on Liu Cui's back, and Liu Lan hurried to help her mother.

The three of them walked back to the house stepping on the snow that could already print their footsteps in the yard. The dog put the board on the chair and woke him up. I feel sorry that my mother looks like a snowman in the snow.Quickly took a dry towel to wipe the snow for Liu Cui and Ban'er, and wiped Liu Cui's sweat by the way.He brought out the prepared hot water again, mixed it with some cold water to make it warm, and washed Liu Cui's face.

Liu Cui enjoys the care and love of her "daughter and son-in-law", and sighs in her heart: "Although she is a widow who lives in her son-in-law's house, she has won the sincere respect of her daughter and son-in-law by her own conduct. Grandma Liu is worthy of being Grandma Liu." .”

As the saying goes, "Snow doesn't turn cold into snow." Although it snowed, it wasn't that cold. Liu Cui was just tired after walking a long way with her sleepy board on her back.

Anyway, Ban'er and Liu Cui walked together in the first half of the journey, and in the second half of the journey, Liu Cui saw that Ban'er was with her in the snow, thin and small, with a red nose from the cold, looking so pitiful, so she carried him on her shoulders , walking slowly with his back on his back.

Fortunately, he didn't walk slowly. If he came back later, Liu Lan Wang Gou'er would go to look for it.

In ancient times when there was no heating, northerners mainly relied on kangs to resist the cold winter.After a while, the kangs in the two houses became hot, and Liu Cui also warmed up after washing her hands and face.Taking advantage of the opportunity to get on the kang, feeling the power of this traditional kang, the whole person was completely relieved.

On the other side, the dog who had placed the board also came to the room of his mother-in-law Liu Cui, with an expectant look on his face.

Seeing the couple's appearance, Liu Cui knew that they wanted to ask about entering the city, so she didn't hesitate, took out a bag of silver from her sleeve, and said, "This is from Mrs. Wang Xifeng from the Rongguo Mansion." 20 taels of silver, said that the eldest wife sent it over to make clothes for the maids, so she gave it to us as an emergency."

He took out another sling of money from the dry food bag he was carrying.

"Give me another penny and let me hire a carriage to go home. I didn't give up, so I walked back."

Wang Gou'er and Liu Lan originally agreed to let Grandma Liu go to Rongguo Mansion to visit relatives only with the idea of ​​trying, which is the so-called "fighting autumn wind".

In fact, I still don't know whether Mrs. Wang of Rongguo Mansion recognizes this poor relative.

Now that I have got this windfall of 20 taels, 20 taels is enough for a poor family to spend for a year. If you save some money, you can do a lot of things?

Post it!

The couple were in for a surprise!

When even the brows of joy,

The haze of the past can be said to have been swept away.

Liu Cui caught a glimpse of the color of the husband and wife, and immediately lost control of her emotions, she turned her head to one side, pulled her face down, and let out a soft "hum": You are happy, but I am very unhappy.

The husband and wife were having fun, Liu Lan suddenly caught a glimpse of her mother's complexion, thinking that she had been bullied in the Rongguo Mansion, and immediately wanted to sit next to Liu Cui to comfort her.

There is no way, these days, the poor live very humblely.Who is willing to bend down and beg for help when they can stand upright and be a man?

Fortunately, Liu Cui is not the kind of fragile little girl, isn't she just dressed like a 60-year-old lady?

What's the big deal, maybe I can go back after finishing the task?I'm afraid I'm not dead!

Liu Cui prepared herself psychologically, and turned her head to see that Liu Lan was about to sit beside her.Immediately said differently: "What do you want to do?"

When Liu Lan was asked by her mother, she was stunned, not knowing how to answer...

Say, I want to comfort you, is it appropriate?

Seeing this scene, Gou'er coughed immediately and turned the attention of the two girls to himself.

Question: "Mom, what should we do with the 20 hanging money?"

Liu Cui was taken aback, this money is not too little, it can cover the expenses of a family of five for a year, it is not too much, it is not enough to make a poor people suddenly rich and realize the leap of class, and it is not enough Make yourself complete the task and save the miserable fate of sister Lin and sister Feng's mother and daughter.

Thinking of this, Liu Cui had no interest in caring about how to deal with the 20 taels of silver.

In the eyes of the villagers, the land is like the lifeblood. It produces output every year, and it can be sold when life is difficult.Gouer wants to use these fields to buy land, Liu Cui has no objection, anyway, she has no other plans at present, besides, she is new here, Liu Cui still has a lot of things to figure out.

So, the three of them chatted some gossip again, and the Gou'er couple went out.

Liu Cui was the only one left in the room.

Liu Cui first rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find a bag, filled it with the silver and copper coins that Qian Gouer Xiaojing had given her, then Liu Cui took out a few more copper coins and looked them over carefully.

Except for seeing ancient copper coins when the school organized students to visit museums when she was a child, Liu Cui has never seen copper coins in other places.This copper coin is called copper, a thin piece, and it is not heavy.Liu Cui didn't know if it was copper, but there were years of dirt on it, but she could clearly see four large characters engraved on it. Liu Cui even guessed that it was written in traditional Chinese: "Tianyou Tongbao".

This was probably made by the founding emperor, and now his grandson, named Jialong, is in power.

There is nothing to say about the silver, and half a tael of silver is only a small piece. Liu Cui looked at it for a while, but there was nothing new about it.

Liu Cui looked at the dilapidated furniture in this room, looked at her rough hands, touched the wrinkles on her face that had been swept away by the years, her eyes were gloomy, and she fell into deep thought...

How can I complete the task, help sister Lin, sister Feng, mother and daughter, and change their future destiny?

Don't look at the original "Dream of Red Mansions", which is full of flowers, meticulously crafted everywhere, and looks prosperous, but stripped of these gorgeous coats, it is a complete tragedy.Of the girls inside, how many of those involved with the four major families ended up with a happy ending?Shining in the night sky like a shooting star, but fleeting.

The posterity said that the last forty chapters of the original book were a continuation of the book, and Liu Cui was still a little girl at the time, so she couldn't see the tragedy, so she hurriedly glanced over the back when she read it, and didn't go into it deeply.

But I also vaguely remember that the book about the downfall of Rongguo Mansion is vague, but according to Liu Cui's dialectical and critical thinking and the clues from the first eighty chapters, there should be several reasons, a combination of external and internal factors:

As for the heir, the sons and daughters are useless,

In terms of economy, wanton squandering and living beyond the means,

In politics, they were either oppressed by other dignitaries or they took sides wrongly.

Can't run around these points.

The reason has been found, but how can we break the situation?I am just an ordinary commoner with no prestige, no wealth and no power, how can I influence the success or failure of a family?Liu Cui fell into deep thought...

After a long time, Liu Cui finally came to her senses and decided to break it up into parts, and save as many as she can!

Do everything possible to rescue the mission target when the building of Rongguo Mansion is about to collapse, and if you have spare energy, try to save others!

In "A Dream of Red Mansions", Daiyu entered Jia's mansion in the third chapter. According to the current timeline, Jia Min is dead at this time, and Lin Ruhai may still be alive.We can start from this aspect... If Lin Ruhai didn't die, then Daiyu wouldn't be trapped in the big mess of Rongguo Mansion.

And the original book said that Lin Ruhai died of illness... But the red building usually speaks lightly and has deep meaning, the cause of death may not be correct, and Lin Ruhai is far away in Yangzhou, how can I help him avoid this death?

This saying of "returning the favor of irrigation with tears" is also very difficult to do...

In the words of Sister Feng and Brother Qiaoer,

Tell Sister Feng directly: Jia's house will be ransacked in the future, she will die of illness in prison, and her daughter will be sold to Guazhou as a prostitute.Sister Feng should beat Liu Cui up and drive her out!

No, no, at this time, people worship ghosts and gods, or they may find a Taoist woman to come, and then the Taoist woman judges that she has deceived the crowd with her lies, so she will burn herself to death on the fire!

No, no, no, you can't go to Sister Feng directly, you should save the country in a curve, and take the road of saving the country in a curve.

Moreover, the fate of Sister Feng's mother and daughter is linked to the Rongguo Mansion. If you want to change this, you must change the fate of the Rongguo Mansion.

So how can I, a poor old lady with no power and power, know something through the prophet, how can I operate it?

Liu Cui fell into deep thought, only feeling that there seemed to be thousands of ideas in her head, but she didn't know where to start.Then I heard my daughter calling me to have dinner next door.

Liu Cui agreed and got out of bed.
