[Red Mansion] A little chef came to the Grand View Garden

Two days later, it was clearly written in the imperial palace newspaper that the god of fire, Zhurong, and the god of water, Gonggong, fought against each other again. The god of water, Gonggong, was defeated and broke Buzhou Mountain for the second time. Water pours into the world, and it is endless.

Liu Mei saw that these were written so solemnly in the imperial palace newspaper brought back by Shiqing, which was originally a legend recorded in ancient legends.For a while, she couldn't tell whether this was the collapse of the world, the invasion of another world, or the absurd story of "repairing the sky without resources" recorded in the front of the Red Mansion, which actually existed.

It's just that Liu Mei knew that these things still have something to do with her.

It turned out that what Shiqing Liumei saw that night, the flames burning across the distant sky, was Zhu Rong raging in the west.And after that night, six hundred miles from all over the world were rushed to Beijing, but it was said that the flood was raging and swept countless people, and most of the people who survived could only hide in high places.

Although the capital city has not been affected yet, since that night, it has been raining continuously and endlessly, adding to people's worries about flooding.

When everyone was panicking, good news came that the ancient god, Emperor Wa, had arrived and was greeted by a saint in the imperial city.

Not to mention that Nuwa used thunder and lightning as a chariot, and a dragon as a car, with a white dragon in front of her to clear the way, and behind her was surrounded by flying snakes, and rushed to the capital in a mighty way. It is indeed her responsibility to mend the sky twice.

The sage was overjoyed and begged Xie Wahuang to go out of the mountain again to save thousands of creatures from water and fire. He even gave a thousand-year-old tortoise raised in the inner court to Wahuang for him to mend the sky.

But Nüwa mentioned one of her difficulties to the saint.

She mentioned that when she repaired the sky for the first time, she practiced 500 five-color stones for sky repairing in Wuji Cliff, Dahuang Mountain.In the past, Emperor Wa only spent [-] yuan, and only one piece was left unused, which was left under Qinggeng Peak.

Now when Emperor Wa wanted to use this stubborn stone again, he couldn't find it everywhere. After asking a monk who was practicing under Qinggeng Peak, he learned that this stubborn stone had been connected with spirituality and transformed into the world of mortals to practice.

According to Emperor Wa, because the last stubborn stone has been psychic, it can be big or small, and it can change into infinite shapes.If you get this one, you can get twice the result with half the effort.Therefore, Emperor Wa hoped that the sage could help her to find the original stubborn stone, and she would carry it to mend the sky.Immediately, Emperor Wa left and went south to Tianzhu Mountain to refine stones.

"Is that what the saint said?" Liu Mei asked Shiqing.

Shiqing nodded and replied: "The sage has to do this. Emperor Wa left a message that day. If she can't find that stubborn stone, she will need to spend three more years to eliminate the floods everywhere."

three years?Liu Mei couldn't help sighing after hearing this, "Even the day lily is cold!"

Shiqing agrees with her: "If things go on like this, within a few months, the entire plains of the Central Plains will be unable to support, and tens of millions of people will lose their physiology. That's why the sage made a decree and ordered people to post it everywhere. The imperial list, so that everyone in the world can hear about this matter. If you can find this 'Spiritual Treasure Jade', the sage will grant everything you ask for."

Liu Mei looked at Shiqing: "The psychic gem?"

Shi Qing nodded and replied: "Yes, that's what's written in the imperial list."

Liu Mei understood immediately.

Baoyu...

This precious jade, this stubborn stone... After many years of being in vain in the world of mortals, and after going through so many love calamities, unexpectedly, under such circumstances, it has come to the day when it can be used to great effect.

Sure enough, as Liu Mei expected, Baoyu heard about the news of the emperor's list in the temple of the prison god, and immediately ordered the jailer to report it to Shuntian Mansion, and then Datian from Shuntian Mansion told him that he had the "psychic jade". ".

At this time of panic, no one dared to neglect Baoyu any more.Immediately, someone came from the palace to welcome Baoyu into the imperial city, and removed all the people in Jia's mansion from the Prison Temple, and temporarily sent them to Shuntian Mansion for guarding.

Not long after, there was news from the palace, saying that the sage received the emperor's will and pardoned Jia.The crime of the second wife of the Rong Mansion has been found out. Although there is a fault, she has no intention of rebellion.Therefore, the sin of the long house Jia was pardoned, and the mansion was returned to the family. However, the official position and title will be discussed together when the world is amnesty after the flood.

Baoyu was given the title of "True Man" by the sage, and as the special envoy of Emperor Wa, he set off immediately to Tianzhu Mountain and handed over the "psychic treasure jade" to Emperor Wa.

But when Liu Mei heard this, she looked up at Shiqing, and asked, "Really...was Baoyu just going to hand over that 'psychic jade' to Emperor Wa?"

She can be regarded as a spoiler at any rate. Although it is not stated clearly in the book, whether this stubborn stone is the colorful jade or the "Jia Baoyu" who "turns out to be wild in the belly", whoever once ruled the whole book Yes, I should know more about it.

"This is Baoyu's own choice." Shiqing said flatly, implying that he admitted what Liu Mei thought - the one who wants to mend the sky is not the piece of beautiful jade that can be placed in the palm of his hand, but Baoyu, Baoyu's The real body, that stubborn stone that has been silent under the Qinggeng Peak for many years, only transformed into the world.

"But the world has become like this because of me..." Liu Mei looked at Shiqing with tears in her eyes.

She is just a small person who is good at self-satisfaction, and her vision has never been higher than the courtyard wall of the Grand View Garden.She couldn't see those ordinary people who were in trouble due to the collapse of the sky, so naturally she couldn't empathize with that kind of suffering.

But Baoyu is different.

Complained, annoyed, scolded, looked down upon, but in the end we have been together for so long, like a not-so-likable friend by my side, but this day he really has to leave, but Liu Mei can't help but blame herself.

After speaking, Liu Mei stood up and walked out.

Shiqing was slightly startled, and hurriedly asked, "Where are you going?"

Liu Mei didn't look at him anymore, and just said: "Since Baoyu is leaving, I'll see him off." Then, she walked straight into the continuous rain outside the house.

At this moment, Shiqing suddenly became nervous, and followed up and said, "Liu Mei, don't think wildly. You are a person with flesh and blood and soul. Since you are in this world, it is impossible for you to do nothing. It is not just you who changed the world. , and me, and many people, all the people in this world together... That's why this world is so unique..."

Liu Mei's footsteps were fast, and she was already far away by now.

But Shiqing was not reconciled, he paused, and simply let the Shiqing system go online forcibly, and there was another "ding" in Liu Mei's consciousness.

"Liu Mei, Liu Mei—"

With this system making noise in his consciousness, Liu Mei naturally could no longer ignore it.

She sighed, and asked softly: "Brother System, help me count again. Except for the raw gold, have I tried everything in the red building that can be imported?"

The system was silent for a while, and then said: "If you really need that special ingredient, please come to me first."

The implication is that the only thing Liu Mei still needs to try is that piece of raw gold.

When Liu Mei heard the system's clear answer, she paused for a moment, and then continued to walk forward in the rain.

"Wait, Liu Mei, where are you going?" The system asked again in a hurry, "I can also provide a lot of fresh and interesting ingredients here for you to use. There are some in this world, and those outside this world." , all of them...for example, Pippi shrimp?"

Liu Mei couldn't bear it any longer, she stood still, and with a "puchi", she laughed, the rain fell on her head and body, and condensed into thin streams of water on her cheeks, which looked like tears at first glance.

Liu Mei couldn't hold back the smile at the corner of her mouth, and repeated softly: "Pippi shrimp?"

"You are such a funny system." Liu Mei said in her heart, "Back then you refused to accept the nickname I thought of for you. I always thought you didn't know how to flatter you!"

"However, now I accept your favor. I know that you are a qualified mission support system, and everything you do is for my sake."

Thinking of this, she turned around and extended her hand to Shiqing who was standing not far behind her.

"Let's go, let's go together."

Shi Qing strode to catch up, and the two walked side by side, fingers intertwined, knowing that they would eventually separate.

Baoyu left in a hurry, without much preparation. He only brought the saint's will and a small amount of luggage, and he had already arrived outside the gate of the capital, ready to go south to Tianzhu Mountain.

Because of the severe flooding in the south, the saint specially sent his personal guards to escort Baoyu to the south.Most of the accompanying personal guards looked serious, knowing that this trip must be an extremely difficult journey.

Everyone in Jia's mansion, as well as many old relatives and friends with Jia's mansion, came together outside the gate of the capital.

The female relatives of Jia's family were already crying loudly, and Madam Wang almost fainted from crying several times.

"My son, it's just a piece of jade. If you give it up, you give it up. Why do you have to travel thousands of miles to send it in person? Ask the master to enter the palace quickly and tell the saint that you have already given up the jade that you brought in the womb. And why are you not allowed to stay in Beijing?"

Baoyu smiled wryly and looked at Jia Zheng behind his mother.Jia Zheng shook his head, signaling Baoyu not to listen to Mrs. Wang's nonsense.

The will left by Emperor Wa is very clear, both people and jade are needed.If Baoyu refuses to go south in person, I am afraid that the saint will also tie him up.However, if that time comes, it may be difficult for Jia's mansion to be preserved.

This is why the sage kept a hand.Baoyu sacrificed herself in exchange for the forgiveness and promise of the sage, but to restore the official titles and titles of the people in Jia's mansion, everything has to wait for the flood to settle before making any plans--Jia Zheng and others have already seen this clearly, but Mrs. Wang As a mother, I don't understand, I dare not believe it, and I just don't want to believe it.

"Mother, with so many personal guards, it's not the first time for my son to go far away, so you have nothing to worry about." Baoyu said, and motioned to the jade bracelet that was supporting Mrs. Wang, asking her to help Mrs. Wang back.

Mrs. Wang was helped aside, and Baochai was the only one left in front of Baoyu.

"Baoyu, you can go with peace of mind. The old ladies and wives in the mansion are here with me." Baochai's face was pale and thin, but her back was always straight.

Baoyu looked at Baochai, and bowed to the end in front of everyone, "Sister Bao... so tired of you."

At this time, Baochai couldn't hold it back, took out the handkerchief from his sleeve, wiped away his tears, and said, "This is the disaster I caused, and you are the one who is tired. I hope you go away safely." , to be able to return soon.”

Baoyu still didn't look up, just said: "Sister, you don't need to be so self-repentant, everything has already been decided. It's definitely not because of my sister."

Rong Mansion's misfortune was mostly caused by Yuan Chun, and Yuan Chun was sent to the palace by Rong Mansion at the beginning.But in name, it was because of Baochai's careless employment that the catastrophe was caused and she was blamed.Fortunately, Baochai has a strong mind, and others may not be able to survive this.

At this time, Baoyu hadn't gotten up, nor had he looked at Baochai in a good way. Instead, he said sincerely, "Sister Bao, it was Baoyu who ruined your life, and I can't live with you."

Baochai had been holding on until now, but when she got here, her heart ached and she burst into tears like rain.Unexpectedly, she has always been reserved, and after crying bitterly for a while, she held back her tears and said, "It's also my own nod, so how can I blame you?"

The inside is just a piece of stubborn gem jade, facing the crystal snow in the mountains, but in the end it is the two sides together, it is difficult to reconcile. "Jin Yu Liang Yuan" is originally a cup, and it is one of the cups placed on this big tea table.By the time the two of them could understand this trick of good fortune, it was too late to regret it.

When Liu Mei and Shiqing arrived, Baochai was saying goodbye to Baoyu and his wife.

Liu Mei saw that among the crowd who came to see him off, there was a sneaky person, who only shrank behind the onlookers, and did not dare to go forward, but he was already crying in secret, choking and unspeakable—it was none other than Xiren .

Liu Mei knew that when Xiren was still in the Prison Temple, her elder brother spent some money on Zifang, explaining that she was just a girl bought by Jia's mansion, and redeemed her from prison.

Looking at her hair style and attire now, Liu Mei knew that Xi Ren might have already married someone else.

Just seeing Xiren crying like this now, Liu Mei just turned her head away - she still remembered the words she heard in her dream, one should not judge the behavior of others by only her own standards.Since it was Xiren's own choice, the consequences... the pain in his heart was borne by Xiren himself.

At this moment, when Baoyu raised his head occasionally, he caught a glimpse of Liu Mei.

He was suddenly happy, quickly wiped away his tears, and said hello: "Meier!"
