The Heavens Begin with Dream of the Red Chamber

Chapter 122: Paying the debt with flesh

Miaoyu is also one of the Twelve Golden Hairpins. Master Zhan ate her, which was of course a great gain.

Most fundamentally, the Yin Spirit became much more solid again.

Just this one night of romance is better than hundreds of years of hard practice by countless monks in the world.

In addition to this, additional magical powers were also obtained.

Mr. Zhan gently picked up the teacup on the table, stretched out his finger, and tapped it casually. He saw that the teacup turned golden from the place where he tapped, then gradually expanded, and finally the whole cup turned into pure gold.

He weighed the gold cup in his hand; it felt very heavy.

He squeezed it harder, and with his powerful finger strength he flattened the golden cup into a golden ball.

"Tsk, it really looks real!"

Master Zhan threw the golden ball to the ground and snapped his fingers. Then the rolling golden ball shattered into countless porcelain pieces with a "crash".

Unfortunately, the magical power that Mr. Zhan obtained this time was not "turning stone into gold" but "the world of mind".

This is a portable illusory cave that only exists in Master Zhan’s mind. It has no entity and is similar to a domain.

Within the scope of Master Zhan's illusory cave, certain inanimate objects can be transformed into other objects according to his thoughts. The appearance, weight, density, effect, etc. of the transformed objects are exactly the same as the real ones.

However, this thing can only be effective within Master Zhan’s mind cave. It will gradually become ineffective after leaving the cave and will turn back into the original item after a few days.

With Master Zhan's current Yin Shen ability, the scope of this cave is only about one mile in radius, but it is expected that as his ability increases, this range will expand, and maybe even become more solid.

But that was not a problem that Mr. Zhan could figure out at the moment, and he was too lazy to think about it. He picked up the used hollow carved sterling silver rosary and turned it into an electric one. He turned on the switch and tried it. Sure enough, the thing swayed left and right in his hand and oscillated at a high frequency.

Master Zhan smiled slightly, and removed the hard silver shell, replacing it with a soft medical silicone material. Then, hehe...

"Ah..." Miaoyu cried softly, and wrapped her arms and legs around him, saying with seductive eyes, "Master, this is the first time I have received your grace, please have mercy on me."

Master Zhan laughed, patted her on the buttocks lightly, carried her down from the table in front of the Laughing Buddha, and strode towards the backyard.

Miaoyu hugged Master Zhan's neck with her arms and rested her legs on his strong right arm. Her white and tender feet swung back and forth as he walked, and the magic bells hanging on them jingled, and the sound was carried far away by the night wind.

Zhineng'er had long wanted to escape from the evil den of Mantou Temple to avoid ending up being slept with by everyone. Now that she could enter the Viscount's Mansion to "cultivate" with her "senior sister", she was already very satisfied. She also knew very well what was going to happen and naturally had no resistance.

Seeing Master Zhan striding over with her senior sister in his arms, she stood by the bed with a red face, head lowered, waiting for Master Zhan to wave and call her.

However, after Master Zhan took a look at her blue scalp, he lost interest and just touched her bald head and said with a smile:

"Since your sister practices with her hair untied, you should follow her example from now on."

"I'll have someone get you a set of monk's robes of the same style. When your hair grows to your ears, I'll comb your hair!"

Zhineng'er thanked them happily and diligently waited on them until they fell asleep in each other's arms. Only then did he leave to rest.

She just thought that Master Zhan was a kind-hearted man, and sympathized with his senior sister who could not bear the beating, so she suppressed the desires in her body. However, she didn't know that after Master Zhan fell asleep, his spirit left his body and went to Rongguo Mansion to play again.

After so many times of subtle influence, Lin Daiyu no longer rejects Master Zhan in her heart, so Master Zhan becomes more and more demanding and takes the dream one step further.

Now, at the beginning of each dream, Lin Daiyu would wake up in the arms of Master Zhan instead of lying on the bed. Now, it has been further changed to a little passionate scene first, and then get to the main topic.

The only regret is that Lin Daiyu’s physical condition is too poor. If the dream is a little bit bigger, her heart can’t bear it and she will wake up from the dream.

After many actual tests, Mr. Zhan clearly grasped this standard: he was good enough at second base but not good enough at third base.

This level of kissing, even a wet kiss, would not wake Lin Daiyu from her dream.

As for third base, some insensitive parts can be touched, but if you want to go further, it will probably be difficult to achieve your goal. It will take a little bit of trial and error for Lin Daiyu to gradually get used to it.

After arriving at Lin Daiyu's courtyard, Master Zhan took a look at her chaotic dreams, which were full of all kinds of strange things, but what made him happy was that in Daiyu's spontaneous dreams, everything no longer revolved around her brother Bao, and now Master Zhan would often appear in her dreams.

However, the content of Lin Daiyu's own dream was different from the dream controlled by Master Zhan. Master Zhan always revolved around Lin Daiyu, like a dog licking her.

How can this be done?
What abilities can a man who revolves around women have?
Mr. Zhan shook his head speechlessly and decided to change Daiyu's wrong aesthetic view.

So after Master Zhan identified the dream, he dived into it and took control of it.

In the dream, Sister Lin was angry with Brother Nian Si. She pouted, turned her back, and snorted:
"You have so many concubines at home, why do you keep thinking about me all day long?"

"If you really want to, then dismiss all the concubines in your house, otherwise I will ignore you!"

The dog licker in the dream. Zhan was about to step forward and confess his feelings, but he shuddered all over and was taken over by Master Zhan.

Hearing that Sister Lin actually had such thoughts in her mind, Master Zhan immediately became furious. He stepped forward, pulled Sister Lin's body over, and kissed her pouting little mouth hard.

Lin Daiyu was immediately shocked. Her eyes widened as she looked at the aggressive eyes that were so close to her. The resentment and anger in her heart disappeared in an instant.

Relying on his excellent oral skills, Master Zhan broke through Sister Lin's pearly teeth in just a moment, sucked out her sweet tongue, and ate it smoothly.

After Lin Meimei's breathing became rapid, Master Zhan finally opened his mouth contentedly and said with a smile:
"My dear sister, why are you acting so crazy again?"

"With so many sisters at home, it will be more lively, right?"

"Because you have so many sisters to share the firepower with you, you can be more relaxed and not cry and beg for mercy every time you are attacked by the master."

Sister Lin was immediately ashamed. She stretched out her little fist and beat Master Zhan with all her might, shouting in shame and anger:
"Who is crying and begging for mercy?"

"Don't talk nonsense and wrongly accuse me!"

"Scared!" Master Zhan pretended to be surprised and shouted, "That's what my sister said. Let's have a good fight tonight and see who surrenders first!"

"No, why wait till night, we can start now!"

Seeing Master Zhan reaching out to grab her, Sister Lin was so frightened that she trembled all over. She screamed quickly and turned away.

"Ha ha……"

Mr. Zhan laughed out loud and started chasing after her like an eagle catching a chick. Once he caught her, he touched her all over. When she was about to wake up from her dream, he let go and let Sister Lin escape.

If you run again, and if you chase me again, then I’ll do that to you…

The two had a great time in the dream, and it finally ended with Lin Daiyu begging for mercy and admitting defeat.

"Good brother, I said the wrong thing. I always surrender first. Don't be angry. Let's talk about it after dark."

Mr. Zhan knew that he couldn't eat this piece of meat now, so he was not in a hurry. He just stewed it slowly, then hugged her and said with a smile:
"It's easy to calm me down. Just put on that cheongsam and dance for me, and I'll let you go."

"Brother is making trouble again. How can a good family wear that cheongsam?"

Sister Lin blushed and refused, but Master Zhan would not indulge her, so he tickled her and cried out:
"Sister, what are you talking about? I don't know how many wealthy and powerful families in Beijing are wearing this suit. How come it becomes a bad thing when it comes to your mouth?"

"Besides, my sister usually wears all kinds of suits in bed, so why wasn't she picky then?"

Lin Daiyu was so teased by him that her body was shaking. Her mind was in a mess and many memories of the bed came to her mind out of nowhere. After holding on for a moment, she finally agreed obediently.

Mr. Zhan took Lin Daiyu back to her room, took out a cheongsam, high-heeled shoes, an ivory fan and other items, and asked Daiyu to dress up.

Not long after, a young lady with extraordinary temperament appeared in front of Mr. Zhan. She stood there shyly, pulling at the part of the cheongsam that was missing fabric with her hands, looking like she didn't know where to put her hands and feet.

Of course Mr. Zhan knew that Miss Lin couldn't dance, so he called out to the outside. The door opened and Yun'er came in.

"Good sister, I know you can't dance, so I found a master for you."

"Come on, come on, follow my lead and then dance for me, your brother."

Yun'er was also wearing a purple cheongsam, and her outfit was copied from Lin Daiyu. When they stood side by side, they looked like twins.

Master Zhan controlled Yun'er's figure and copied the dance he saw on the Internet, asking Lin Daiyu to learn slowly beside him. He watched with a smile, admiring Lin Daiyu's clumsy appearance.

For training in dreams, the process is important, and whether the dance is good or not doesn’t matter.

We already have the APP, so why not create a live version of Bilibili?

At that time, a B station party will be held in the mansion, and all the young ladies in the mansion will wear various costumes and perform for the master one by one!

Suck...

After admiring it for a long time, Master Zhan wiped his saliva and remembered the important matter. With a thought, Xing Xiuyan came in from outside and smiled at Master Zhan:

"Master, Master Bao from the Jia Mansion has come to borrow money again. Will you lend it to me this time?"

Hearing the three words "Master Bao", Lin Daiyu's movements slowed down unexpectedly, and she quickly turned her head to listen carefully.

But Master Zhan sneered and said:

"I do have some money to borrow, but how can the Jia family repay me now?"

"His family had incurred a lot of debts in order to build the Grand View Garden for the Empress to visit her parents. In the end, they had to let Baoyu marry Xue Baoqin, which was considered as a way to barely settle the debt owed to the Xue family."

"Now the Jia family doesn't have a second son to settle the accounts!"

After Xing Xiuyan heard this, she smiled and said:
"Since the master said so, I will go and reply to him."

As soon as Xing Xiuyan left, Sister Lin rushed to Master Zhan and asked hastily:
"Brother Bao married Xue Baoqin because his family was in debt?"

Seeing Sister Lin's anxious expression, Master Zhan immediately frowned and shouted:

"My dear sister, now that you are my Zhan family's concubine, you can no longer think about Brother Bao!"

Seeing that Brother Zhan was angry, Sister Lin stamped her feet and said angrily:
"What nonsense is the master talking about!"

"I now only regard Brother Bao as my own brother, and there is no trace of any romantic feelings between us!"

"I have always known Brother Bao. He hates vulgar things like gold and silver. If he has to marry the daughter of a rich family because of gold and silver, he will definitely feel uncomfortable and will never be happy for the rest of his life."

People in dreams don't lie. Master Zhan carefully looked at Sister Lin's expression and confirmed that these were her sincere words. He was happy and changed his face, smiling and said:
"My dear sister, I am a wealthy man, so of course I can help your brother Bao, but... hehe..."

Seeing Master Zhan's lecherous expression, Sister Lin immediately understood what he had not said. She rolled her eyes and said angrily:
"Master is so lustful, thinking about these things all day long. What do you want from me?" Master Zhan spread his legs and said with a smile:

"The master has always wanted to test your eloquence. As long as you perform well, the master will naturally lend a helping hand to your precious brother."

After a slight hesitation, Lin Daiyu slowly knelt down and opened her mouth.

"Ugh..." Lin Daiyu suddenly sat up from the bed and lay over the head of the bed, retching continuously.

Zijuan, who was outside, was awakened, got up with sleepy eyes, and asked in a daze:

"What's wrong, young lady? Did you have a prophetic dream again?"

Thinking of the shy scene in the dream just now, Sister Lin couldn't help blushing and waved her hand:
"I'm fine, go back to sleep!"

Zijuan then staggered back to the bed and fell asleep.

It was normal for their young lady to often wake up from premonition dreams. The maids had long been accustomed to it and did not take it seriously.

Lin Daiyu dry-heaved a few times, and the taste in her dream slowly dissipated in her mouth. She turned over and lay down again, looking at the blurry ceiling above her in the dark, and began to wonder how she could save her childhood sweetheart, Brother Bao.

She now feels more and more that this predictive dream may not be difficult to change, but after the change, everything may not be as she wishes, and there are many hidden dangers.

In order to prevent Brother Bao from falling into Jia Rong's clutches, she asked Mrs. Wang to forbid the two of them from having any contact and not to allow Brother Bao to go to the East Palace, and she easily achieved her goal.

I thought the matter was over, but the result was that Brother Bao became insane again and developed the bad habit of "sending his daughters" to Master Zhan to "nourish" him.

In order to prevent the Xue family from being executed because of Mei Hanlin's involvement, she prevented the marriage between the two families in advance and indeed saved the Xue family.

She was very happy at that time, but she found out that after the Xue family broke off the marriage with Mei Hanlin, they turned their attention to Brother Bao.

Now she also knew that by lending a large amount of money to the Jia family, Xue Baoqin successfully "married" Brother Bao as a creditor and snatched her marriage away. It is hard to say whether her future marriage into the Zhan family as a concubine is related to this incident.

Although her feelings for Brother Bao are no longer that of a romantic relationship, as they have been childhood sweethearts for many years, marrying him is not something that is unacceptable.

Being a wife is always better than being a concubine!

Of course, the prerequisite is that he must change his bad habit of "sending girls away"!

She has to change both of these things!
Lin Daiyu tossed and turned in bed all night and finally made it to dawn. She simply washed up and hurried to find Mrs. Wang.

When she saw Mrs. Wang, Daiyu asked straight away:

"Madam, did your family borrow a lot of money from the Xue family?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang immediately became unhappy and said coldly:

"What do these things have to do with a little girl like you? Why are you asking these questions?"

Daiyu then said seriously:

"I dreamt last night that the mansion owed the Xue family a lot of money for building the Grand View Garden for the queen to visit her parents, and finally had to mortgage Baoyu and let him marry Miss Baoqin to settle the debt."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang was startled and jumped up from her chair, asking in surprise:
"Is this true?"

"Everything is true!"

Since her own son was involved, Mrs. Wang immediately became alert. However, after she turned around a few times, she suddenly realized that this result seemed not bad.

She had originally liked Baoqin, a girl who was very polite and generous in her words and deeds. She also wanted to make her her daughter-in-law. If she could get a large sum of money as a dowry, that would be even better.

After realizing this, Mrs. Wang felt relieved. She sat back in her original seat, smiled kindly, and said to Daiyu:
"Good Daiyu, thanks to you for reporting this, otherwise I would not have known about this."

Daiyu thought that she didn't want Baoyu to be forced to marry because of money, which would make him unhappy all his life, so she suggested:
"In fact, if it is just for the Queen's visit, it is not a problem for the Grand View Garden to be a little smaller."

"We will do what we can. The Queen will definitely not blame us."

"Or maybe we can borrow less money, so we can always pay it back in the future, and it won't hurt us too much."

After hearing this suggestion, Mrs. Wang was very unhappy.

This Grand View Garden was built for the benefit of his own daughter. It is for the Empress to use and for outsiders to see. It is to let people know that the Jia family is still deeply favored by the Emperor and has not declined. How can they be surpassed by others!
But since Daiyu, a little girl, would not understand these things, Mrs. Wang did not mention them to her, but only said to her in a coaxing way:
"Don't worry, Daiyu. It would have been fine if she didn't know before, but now that she knows, she will definitely not use Baoyu to pay off the debt."

"We have some assets in our house. Although we don't have that much cash, it won't be a problem to pay off the debts in the future."

If the Jia family really has money in the future, why would they do such a shameful thing as using others to pay off debts? It must be that they will not be able to come up with the money at that time, so they will resort to this desperate measure.

Daiyu was not a fool, so she was not easily persuaded by her, so she continued to persuade:
"Instead of selling off your property to pay off your debts in the future, it's better to simply borrow less. After all, the Grand View Garden is big enough. Even if there are fewer pavilions and towers inside, no one outside will know. It will still be just as magnificent."

Mrs. Wang had long regarded the Grand View Garden as a symbol of her daughter's status. She ignored Daiyu's good advice and just smiled and avoided the topic:
"You said that this garden was later named 'Grand View Garden'?"

"It's a nice name, but I don't know who gave it to me."

Daiyu tried to persuade her several times, but seeing that Mrs. Wang was always talking about other things, she realized that her advice was useless, so she got up and said goodbye.

As soon as Daiyu left, Mrs. Wang smiled and asked someone to invite Master Xue to come over, intending to borrow more money from his family.

Daiyu didn't know about Mrs. Wang's tricks yet. After leaving her, she still felt uneasy, so she turned around and went to find the old lady again, trying to lobby Lady Jia.

After hearing what Daiyu said, Grandmother Jia became unhappy and ordered someone to call Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang had already reached an agreement with Mr. Xue and borrowed another 100,000 taels of silver. Moreover, she did not borrow it in her own name, but in the name of the Jia family.

After all, although the Empress is her daughter, this beauty belongs to all the Jia family members, and the cost of building the Grand View Garden must be shared by everyone.

But during the construction process, the silver is still in their own hands. They can pass it around when the time comes. Even if they don't make a lot, they will always have 10,000 or 20,000 taels.

Just when she was feeling proud of herself, she received a notice from Lady Jia. She was very unhappy and disliked Daiyu even more.

She came to Lady Jia's side, and as soon as she came in, she began to scold Daiyu, saying:

"Baoyu is my dearest child. How can I, as his mother, harm him?"

"It's such a big deal, but you still want to disturb the old lady. You don't have any sense of propriety. How can you expect me to be able to manage the household in the future?"

Daiyu was unhappy, but she had to lower her head and endure it.

After reprimanding Daiyu, Mrs. Wang smiled and said to Lady Jia:

"Daiyu's prophetic dream is of course good, but the future is changeable. Now that I know about this, how can I let it happen again?"

"The construction of the Grand View Garden has already been announced. If we reduce the scale now, won't people laugh at us and say that our family has fallen on hard times?"

"The people in the palace are always trying to take advantage of others. If we don't build up momentum outside, Your Majesty will probably suffer in the palace. When the time comes, who will be the more and who will be the less?"

Grandmother Jia was also someone who respected the imperial power. She valued the empress in the palace even more than Lady Wang, and was quickly convinced by her.

Looking at Daiyu who was looking gloomy beside her, Grandmother Jia sighed and brought up the matter of Baoyu's engagement again.

"Now Baoyu is not young anymore, the matter between him and Lin girl can be discussed."

Mrs. Wang was thinking about the generous and decent Xue Baoqin. How could she be willing to let a little girl like Lin Daiyu who was easily angry be her daughter-in-law? She immediately tried to stop her and said,

"Baoyu is currently studying with Jia Yucun, preparing to take the exam for the scholar next year. If we get engaged now, I'm afraid it will distract him. It's better to wait until he gets his degree next year!"

Grandmother Jia knew that Jia Huan's experience had been a great shock to her, so she could not say much about it. She also felt that Baoyu should take the examination for a scholar. After careful consideration, she felt that the future of her precious grandson was more important, so she turned around and comforted Daiyu:

"Don't worry, Miss Lin. If the old lady were still alive, she would definitely not let Baoyu marry someone else."

"As for the affairs of the Grand View Garden, you don't have to worry about it."

"Our Jia family's relatives and friends are either rich or noble, with countless properties. Your two uncles also have many students and old friends, so you won't be unable to repay the debt."

Daiyu opened her mouth, wanting to tell her that if she did nothing and changed nothing, the future would not change, but she failed to say it in the end.

She had been in the Jia Mansion for quite some time and was already familiar with the power structure within the mansion. Now that the old lady had spoken, the matter was a done deal and nothing she said would be of any use.

But now that Grandmother Jia is old, she is very stubborn and insists on her own opinions, and no one can convince her.

There was no other choice but to bow and politely say:

"Thank you for your understanding, ancestor. I was just too worried about my family. It's not good to have too much debt."

Grandmother Jia then took Daiyu into her arms and said with a smile:

"My little girl Lin has magical powers, so of course she has more things to worry about. Everyone feels sorry for you, so how can they blame you?"

The matter was settled.

But the news spread very quickly, and soon everyone in the mansion knew about it. The money that the Jia family used to build the Grand View Garden was borrowed from the family of the second master Xue. In the future, the Jia family would let the second master Bao marry Miss Baoqin because they owed money to the Xue family. Miss Lin was jealous of this and went to the old lady to make a fuss.

Soon after, news spread that Mrs. Wang had borrowed another 100,000 taels of silver from Mr. Xue's family, making everyone more gossipy.

Everyone has personally witnessed Miss Lin's "precognitive dream" and now no longer doubts its truth or falsehood. They just want to know whether the second wife of Bao will still be Miss Baoqin in the future.

Although Miss Lin possesses supernatural powers, these powers are meaningless to the people below. Even if Miss Lin has a "precognitive dream", she only focuses on the fortune and misfortune of the masters of each family. Who would care about the life and death of these low-level servants?

On the contrary, Miss Baoqin has always been generous and her family is quite wealthy. It would be perfect if she could become Bao's second wife.

So as the news spread, it became more and more inclined towards a "perfect match between Qin and Yu".

Of course, Master Xue Er also knew the news. Without saying a word, he immediately took the initiative to run to Mrs. Wang. After some polite exchanges, he took the initiative to lend her another 100,000 taels of silver.

If I could use some money to create a relative of the Rongguo Mansion and get my mother's younger brother to be my son-in-law, then this business would be a sure win!

Besides, this was not a gift but a loan. Even if they could not marry in the future, with the wealth of the Jia family, he would not worry about not being able to get the money back.

Poor Lin Daiyu tried hard for a long time, but things were getting more and more like the situation in her dream.
