Blind Date in Time and Space

Today, the sky in Hongye Mountain is exceptionally clear and cloudless, and the warm breeze blows on the face, making the already lively atmosphere of Xia Mansion even more festive, just like when the young lady is getting married, the maids, wives, and servants are busy putting up lanterns and decorations.

"When will the young lady and my uncle go to the fairy world?"

"Come on, let's leave after breakfast... I really want the lady to bring a mirror. I really like the big mirror that my uncle bought for the lady. I heard that mirrors are not expensive at all in the fairy world. One tael of silver can buy a lot."

"I can just use a bronze mirror, but I would like the lady to buy me a bottle of cold drink. That bottle is useful and beautiful!"

"Go ahead, I want a bottle too."

"you go."

"I don't dare, go and tell Lu Zhu and help me by the way..."

The two maids secretly came outside the small courtyard where the young lady lived. From a distance, they heard a group of people making noises in the courtyard.

What about "Miss, do you want to buy some fruit? Watermelons are delicious" "Strawberries are also delicious" "Madam, Mrs. Zhao in the city asked you to buy a mirror last time" "The Wang family wants vegetable seeds" "Mrs. Song Yushi from the capital I have sent someone to ask for some rare things."

A mess.

All the talk revolves around the lady going to the fairy world.

The two maids poked their heads out and looked inside. A group of maids and women were surrounding the lady and young lady in the pavilion. Each of them was full of excitement and anticipation, wanting the lady to buy something in the fairy world.

"this……"

The two maids were dumbfounded.

Ever since my uncle became a terrestrial deity, opened the Heavenly Gate and went to the fairy world, and then formed a strange immortal marriage with the young lady, the status of the Xia Mansion has been rising, and Yongkang County and even the Kingdom of Zhao have undergone earth-shaking changes.

Today, Hongye Mountain in Yongkang County has become a fairyland among outside storytellers. People from all counties, counties and state capitals come here to buy properties.

My uncle loves the young lady very much and often brings her things.

Whatever the lady couldn't use up, she gave it to her servants, from fruits and pastries to cold drinks, to mirrors, water bottles, soaps, etc. If there were too many things, some of them would naturally flow out, causing the rich and powerful people in Yongkang County to take action. After fighting for it, an ordinary apple was sold for hundreds of taels of silver.

Even far away in the capital, a group of imperial ladies who had previous friendship with the Xia Mansion wrote letters asking for some rare things.

The influence brought by my uncle is evident.

"Girl, tell me the truth."

Lu Rui stopped her precious daughter who was writing so hard.

This girl made an appointment with Chen Ji last night and decided to go to the fairy world today. She looked very happy and told the maids that she could bring some things back for them this time.

This caused the maids and ladies in the house to rush in uncontrollably and spend money to "buy" things from the fairy world from her. The commotion was so big that Lu Rui had to come forward.

"What do you want to say, mother?"

Xia Shumin raised her little face. She had a small and fair face, beautiful facial features, curved eyebrows and a pretty nose, and her eyes were full of joy.

Lu Rui sighed and pointed at the paper she had written on it: "Isn't the immortal going to blame you for bringing so many things back?"

Blame? How could it be? She just went to the supermarket to buy something, and the "fairies" who sold the goods welcomed her.

Xia Shumin laughed and shook his head.

"What is the fairy world like?"

"The fairy world..."

Listening to her mother's questions, all the memories of Xia Shumin's last trip to Earth suddenly came out.

There are many, many people, the spacious and straight roads, the roaring and speeding cars, and the lights and feasting at night, it seems like the world but not the world.

In such a fairyland on earth, she and her son were walking in the bustling streets of Fangshi. They could go to any store they wanted and buy whatever they wanted. Sister Wan smiled implicitly and told her to buy the entire shopping mall. No problem.

"Fine."

Lu Rui smiled and let go of her daughter's hand, letting her continue writing what she wanted to buy, and jokingly said: "You can buy whatever you want, but if you don't have money, just bring some gold leaves from home. Don't let your parents-in-law say that you are not married yet." The daughter-in-law will take the things to her mother’s house.”

A group of maids and women all laughed.

If you bring your husband's things back to your parents' house and leave them in the Kingdom of Zhao, you will be stabbed in the back. But my uncle is a land immortal, so naturally he cannot treat it according to the rules of the mortal world.

Xia Shumin blushed with embarrassment and said coquettishly: "Princess, my mother is not allowed to..."

She blurted out, then subconsciously closed her mouth.

The fact that her mother is a princess is still a secret. Even if it spreads, no one can do anything to Xia Mansion, but it is still not good.

Lu Rui smiled lightly and disagreed.

The maids and women around them just thought they had heard wrongly.

"Mother, do you want your daughter to bring something back?"

Xia Shumin bit her lip and smiled: "Daughter, I am rich in the fairy world. The master said that the Dream of Red Mansions I wrote was well received by the 'immortals' and I can earn millions."

"A few million taels?!"

"Well, almost."

Xia Shumin showed off in a reserved manner.

Lu Rui pinched her cheek angrily, stood up and said, "I don't need anything. Yongkang County is short of everything. If you really want to bring them, just bring a few grandchildren back."

The maids and women around them laughed again.

Xia Shumin blushed and turned her head away from looking at her mother, who had nothing nice to say.

After Lu Rui glanced at the two twin maids, he left.

The remaining maids came up and chattered about what they wanted the young lady to buy.

After an hour of fussing, Xia Shumin finally put away the paper with satisfaction and returned to the study to wait for the call of the young master.

Shortly after.

The two maids, Green Bamboo and Green Bamboo, saw their young lady disappearing in front of them.

They looked at each other and could see the loss and reluctance in each other's eyes.

"It would be great if my uncle also took us to the fairy world..." Cuizhu kneaded the handkerchief with her little hands.

Her sister, Lu Zhu, remembered Madam's look in her eyes, blushed, and said softly: "It's up to the young lady to work hard with us to let my uncle sleep..."

"What do you want me to keep?"

"Leave you idiot in the study~"

Lu Zhu walked out briskly, Cuizhu hurriedly caught up with her and wanted to catch her and ask her.

The maids are playing around, and the young lady has arrived in the fairy world.

"Sir... son!!"

When the little lady in a light blue double-breasted skirt appeared in front of him, Chen Ji could clearly see the shocked expression on her little face. He stretched out his hand to support her and said with a smile:

"What's wrong? Are you surprised to see me and Zhou Wan? I told you."

Still in Chen Ji's simple two-bedroom apartment, he and Zhou Wan were waiting for the arrival of the little lady.

Seeing her shocked expression, Zhou Wan's expression moved slightly.

"Not really."

Xia Shumin held the young master's hand and stood firm, smiling and said: "Shumin thought it was in the wild woods last time, but I didn't expect it to be at the young master's home... Shumin still wanted to take the bus with the young master."

As she spoke, her voice became softer and her face turned red, but she still called Zhou Wan Sister Wan as a greeting.

Zhou Wan felt relieved, Shu Min was indeed not so stingy.

She smiled at this little lady from the ancient world of martial arts, and then glanced at Chen Ji:

"You still take the bus with Shumin? You might as well rent a car."

She couldn't even imagine how many people would attract attention to Xia Shumin, a young lady like Xia Shumin, who was so delicate and delicate.

Chen Ji raised his hand to admit his mistake and smiled at Xia Shumin: "I didn't think well, but now I have a car!"

"Is it from Sister Wan?"

Xia Shumin remembered that Chen Ji had told her about this. She turned around and wanted to thank Zhou Wan, but she felt bad about it and did not say it out.

Sister Wan seems to be part of the family.

"A car is nothing."

Zhou Wan saw her thoughts, paused, and asked her again: "Last time Shumin lived here? Tonight too?"

"……right!"

Chen Ji bit the bullet and said, "It's better to live here... Shumin, is this too shabby?"

The house was already being purchased and was being scouted by an agent. He was too lazy to move and usually went to other worlds, so he just stayed there.

With him here, it is impossible for Xia Shumin to stay in a hotel by herself.

The same is true for the Empress, but she hasn't come over yet.

"whee."

Xia Shumin covered her mouth and smiled softly, then comforted: "Young Master, don't be in a hurry. It will take a few months at least to buy a house. How long has it been? Besides, it is already very long for the Young Master to be able to buy a house in such a big city at such a young age. amazing!"

Her speaking voice was particularly clear and pleasant, which made Zhou Wandu take a second look, surprised that the guy next to him could find such an ancient lady as a blind date.

"Am I amazing?"

Chen Ji pretended to be surprised.

"Hmm, haven't you seen the poem by the layman on the 1st of the 1st of the twelfth lunar month sighing with emotion, "I came to the capital to live in a house with no disadvantages; I have a leisurely space and an old house, but a shabby little hut."

The little lady's poem reciting was really ups and downs, full of rhythm, and her petite and pretty face was also very lively and cute. It was the first time for Zhou Wan to hear her reciting poems, and she felt like her eyes lit up.

Chen Ji laughed dumbly.

Xia Shumin also pursed her lips and smiled, and suddenly her face turned red again.

I had only been separated from the young master for less than a month, and I already missed him very much. I kept in touch with him through letters every morning, noon and evening...

"Let's talk about accommodation tonight."

Zhou Wan said to Xia Shumin with a smile in her eyes: "Today there is a promotion event for Shu Minxu's Dream of Red Mansions, are you ready?"

"Alright, ready?"

The daughter of the county governor, who came from the world of martial arts and has written many books but never held fan signings, suddenly panicked. She took a few steps towards Zhou Wan with her slender feet wearing brocade shoes and said nervously:

"Sister Wan, what should you prepare? Sister, sister, I have never done this type of promotion or activity."

In front of Zhou Wan, she called herself her sister last time.

Firstly, because of her age, secondly, Sister Lai Wan's temperament and talent are far better than hers. She knows a lot of knowledge. She went to many places at a young age and became a big shopkeeper when she came back.

"Don't worry." Zhou Wan comforted her: "Although I have never participated in publicity activities for publications, I just want to answer some questions from reporters, sign autographs for people who want to buy books, and then wait to make money. "

She knew that Xia Shumin had always wanted to make money to buy a house for Chen Ji.

"Son..."

The little lady looked over weakly until Chen Ji smiled and said, "Don't worry, we will go with you when the time comes, and we will make a fool of ourselves together."

As a lady, she has always cared about etiquette and was afraid of making a fool of herself. She was worried for a long time when she first came to Earth.

Xia Shumin felt relieved and went out with the two of them.

After going downstairs and outside the community, she saw the scenery of the earth that she had been thinking about repeatedly these days.

Almost the same as last time.

A man with short hair like the young master, a woman wearing very little clothes, exposing a large amount of skin, people coming and going, cars coming and going, and colorful store signs, dazzled her.

After she, Young Master and Sister Wan appeared, many people passing by looked sideways, with surprise in their eyes.

Fortunately, she already knew that people here would also wear clothes with wide and long sleeves and crossed collars. It didn't matter how special her clothes were.

"come here."

The young master took her hand and walked to a black car on the side of the road. She looked at the car carefully and liked its appearance.

Sister Wan pulled her into the back seat and sat down again. She liked it very much in the car.

"Master, Sister Wan!"

Xia Shumin couldn't help but said: "What is the name of this car? From now on, it will be the family car?"

There are also many cars in the Xia Mansion, as well as grooms and stables for horses. She heard from the young master that the cars should be parked in the garage.

"Call Mercedes."

Zhou Wan smiled and answered her, "Shu Min, you can learn to drive when you are free."

"Ah? Do you want to learn this? Sister Wan will teach me?"

"It's fine if I teach...but don't rush, you seem to be only sixteen..."

After realizing this, Zhou Wan looked at Chen Ji in the driver's seat with strange eyes.

"Uh-huh, I'm driving. Sit tight!"

Chen Ji started the car.

Xia Shumin, who was sitting behind the car, grabbed her seat belt and whispered: "Shu Min can get married at sixteen..."

Zhou Wan beside her couldn't help but hold her forehead, unable to listen any more.

Is this guy Chen Ji a blessing from a previous life? Such a great talented woman and young lady in ancient times who continued to write the Dream of Red Mansions, but she was devoted to him, so she recognized him.

So does "Zhou Wan".

The car started and the scenery outside the window moved backwards. Zhou Wan and Xia Shumin sat behind Chen Ji and were carried forward by him.

This kind of life may be quite good.

At least if the other person was Xia Shumin, she wouldn't be disgusted.

But what did she think?

"Sister Wan, do you live in a high-rise building?"

Xia Shumin looked at the tall residential buildings outside the window and asked her curiously.

"I have several houses. My home is a villa. I usually live in a high-rise building." Zhou Wan held her hand, turned to smile at her and said, "When the promotional activities are over, I will take you to see my house." House, you can stay with me tonight, don’t go to that guy’s dwelling~”

"Dwelling in a small house?"

Xia Shumin's mind raced, and after a moment, he suddenly realized: "There is a saying in "Annotation of Ancient and Modern Times": The savages make round houses, shaped like snails, so they are called snail houses... It seems that the young master's home is not round?"

Zhou Wan burst out laughing. The difference between ancient and modern times is really interesting, and her memory is really good.

"How many books has Sister Shumin read?"

"I've read a few, but I can't compare to Sister Wan. Sister Wan has learned all about the world, which is different from my miscellaneous books."

"Is the daughter of the county governor such a sweet mouth?"

"Hehe, sister Wan, please don't make fun of me. If my sister is so rich, is she also a rich lady?"

The two had a pleasant chat in the back of the car and got along very well. Chen Ji, who drove them to the autograph session, was in a good mood.

One step closer to "I want it all."

…

Xinyang Road, Xianying Bookstore.

In front of the usually quiet bookstore, now there is a large group of people, looking eagerly in the direction of the intersection, as if eagerly waiting for someone to arrive.

People passing by the bookstore were very curious. They looked like fans waiting for some event, but they had seen many fan meetings, but they had never seen something so strange:

This group of people ranged in age from sixty to seventy, down to fourteen or fifteen years old. Some came with their parents, and others came with a family of five.

There are also many college students in their youth who look elegant and student-like wearing glasses.

The only thing they have in common is that many of them are holding a book and discussing something intensely with each other.

"A Dream of Red Mansions?"

People passing by finally heard clearly and reacted quickly.

"What the hell?! Today is actually a book signing event for Ban Shu's version of Dream of Red Mansions?!"

There was a tall young man passing by. After learning about the situation, he was so shocked that he stopped doing anything. He turned around and started to queue up.

A couple in the distance also looked over.

"Dream of Red Mansions book signing? Ah, I remembered it. Dream of Red Mansions became a hit some time ago. Come on, let's line up too!"

The woman excitedly took her boyfriend's hand and ran here.

"Queue? Wait, I remember you haven't finished watching Dream of Red Mansions."

"You, an uneducated person, can't pretend to be educated? You're stupid! I don't care, you have to get me an autograph today!!"

"..."

The man was dragged away helplessly.

But as more fans arrived for the "Dream of Red Mansions" signing event, the entire bookstore was fully occupied. Under such circumstances, it was a nightmare to squeeze in and get the autograph of the author who was about to attend.

The crowd grew larger and the discussion became more and more intense.

"Banshu's version of Dream of Red Mansions has fulfilled my dream after reading Dream of Red Mansions. The author is really amazing."

"That's it, the writing style, the choice of words and sentences, the foreshadowing in the front, and the poems written in the back, which shocked me!"

"Who is the author Ban Shu? He is so good at studying red science...could it be him?"

Fans who were eagerly waiting for the author of the continuation of Dream of Red Mansions to appear looked at an old man who arrived surrounded by four or five people. Seeing that he was calm and measured, and looked like an old-school scholar, many people's eyes lit up.

"This old gentleman is Banshu?!"

someone shouted.

As soon as the words were shouted out, everyone felt something was wrong again.

How can there be an old man whose pen name is Banshu? Half the book is about the same, but the author’s name given by the publisher is Banshu, which is correct.

"I?"

The old man waved his hands repeatedly, "I'm just a scholar of Red Mansions. I'm still far from writing a Dream of Red Mansions as good as the accompanying version." After a pause, he smiled and said, "I'm just like you, and I'm here to come here. Mr. Banshu wants a signed copy."

Everyone was disappointed.

And someone has already recognized him. This person is Professor Zuo Zhongmin, one of the country's authoritative experts on redness.

"As to who the author is,"

Professor Zuo pointed to someone and laughed: "You have to ask the editor-in-chief Ren who sent me the book and asked me to review it, which made me embarrassed!"

Disgraceful, meaning that he couldn't even review a Dream of Red Mansions of this level.

Editor-in-chief Ren Tianhua of the publishing house was pushed out. Faced with everyone's questions, he could only say wait, wait, because he had no idea who "Mr. Banshu" was.

The wait was nearly half an hour.

When the autograph session was about to officially begin, a handsome and sunny man protected two beauties, one large and one small, and squeezed into the crowd with difficulty.

"Give in, give in!"

"Stop squeezing, why should I let you? It doesn't matter if you are handsome or beautiful!"

"Yes, I won't let you go. Today is the Dream of Red Mansions autograph session. Who will let you!"

"...No, Mr. Ban Shu, who continues to write Dream of Red Mansions, is here, and you won't let him in?"

The man shouted helplessly.

In an instant, a large group of people in front of the bookstore looked over.

"Mr. Banshu? Who?!"

A graceful lady in ancient costume was pushed to the stage.

Her delicate and delicate face turned red, and she was very nervous. She subconsciously bowed to everyone and said, "Everyone, this little girl is none other than Mr. Banshu."
