Chapter 3: The Man Yuan Hongqu
I've heard that recently, all the time travelers have incredibly powerful systems.
The original red lotus is not available.
She has her own small house and a small plot of land around it.
This should probably be called space.
The small building was designed and built by herself, and the surrounding fields were also developed and cultivated bit by bit by herself.
Before she arrived, this was a wasteland, with only one isolated village road within a three-kilometer radius.
This road is rarely used by vehicles, even once every ten days or half a month, and it is even less frequented by people.
It is especially suitable for semi-seclusion.
When she arrived in the world of Dream of the Red Chamber, it was 2024 in modern times.
In the previous few years, Yuan Hongqu made some money by taking advantage of the rise of self-media and her professional skills.
After the golden age of self-media passed, Yuan Hongqu found a piece of land in her maternal grandmother's hometown and built this small building.
The fields surrounding the small building have also been cleared and planted with all sorts of grains, fruits, and vegetables.
Yuan Hongqu knew how to attract traffic with gimmicks, so no matter how outrageous or unbelievable the plants were, she would bring them over and plant them in this field.
Therefore, in this field, you can see coconut trees and pear trees flying together, and walnuts and star fruit growing side by side.
From building houses to transforming farmland, she has garnered a huge amount of attention.
However, at the same time, Yuan Hongqu, who had suffered from insomnia for many years, was diagnosed by doctors with severe depression.
Yuan Hongqu visited many large hospitals, but the diagnosis results were all the same.
Although the illness won't kill her, she herself doesn't know that at some sudden moment, an emotion she can't control might surge up, and she might end up taking her own life...
She fled from the big city to this place in an attempt to combat these emotions, but with little success.
At the beginning of the new year, a cold snap struck, and the area around Yuan Hongqu's small building was covered with heavy snow.
Because of the lessons learned in those three years, Yuan Hongqu would immediately fill the basement warehouse of the small building to the brim at the slightest sign of trouble.
She had heard about the abnormal weather this year, and she was someone who had experienced a snowstorm one year and was trapped in her car for several days and nights.
So, right after the New Year, while others were still consuming the food they had stored up before the holiday, she had already started a big shopping spree.
She would put anything she thought was useful into the warehouse until it was completely full before Yuan Hongqu felt at ease.
And she brought all of this with her into the world of Dream of the Red Chamber...
As for how she came into this world, Yuan Hongqu really didn't have any strange experiences.
That day, the door was blocked by heavy snow. She was idly flipping through a book on the sofa, while the TV was playing background music, specifically the old version of "Dream of the Red Chamber".
As the TV show's ending theme song played, Yuan Hongqu felt a little sleepy.
She closed her eyes, seemingly taking a nap, and when she woke up, she found herself in another time and space, in a prison.
In the world of Dream of the Red Chamber, Yuan Hongqu is the only daughter of a down-on-his-luck official who lost her mother at a young age.
Shortly after she came of age and got engaged, her father also passed away.
Her fiancé also broke off the engagement, and Yuan Hongqu vowed never to marry again.
She sold her possessions and went to live with a distant aunt.
However, she knew that living under someone else's roof would be unbearable, so she wouldn't try it.
Through her aunt's introduction, Yuan Hongqu went to study at the Girls' Academy.
Three years later, due to her excellent academic performance and character, Yuan Hongqu stayed on to teach at the school.
Another ten years have passed, and she has long been a famous female teacher in Suzhou and Hangzhou. Many families want to send their daughters to her for education.
For various reasons, the girls' academy was to be relocated to the capital. The original teacher was unwilling to go with her and planned to start her own school.
While her academy was being set up, her distant aunt's family was implicated in a treasonous plot, and her former teacher was also implicated and imprisoned.
Fortunately, she was rescued by Lin Ruhai, the salt commissioner, and thus escaped disaster.
However, the one who went to prison was the original teacher of "Dream of the Red Chamber," while the one who came out of prison was the modern-day original Hongqu.
As soon as Yuan Hongqu was released from prison, she went to the Lin family.
When she keenly realized that she was in the time and space of Dream of the Red Chamber, she immediately agreed to Lin Ruhai's request to become Lin Daiyu's governess.
At that time, Jia Min had already passed away, and the young Daiyu was as thin and frail as a fragile little vine.
After cleaning up, Yuan Hongqu felt a pang of pain and bitterness in her heart upon seeing Daiyu like this.
She stepped forward and hugged the little Daiyu tightly. Her nose tingled and tears fell first.
Daiyu was sensitive and precocious. Although it was really unseemly for the new nanny to hug her so improperly, she felt a warm feeling in her heart.
This nanny smells so fresh, just like my mother!
This old woman looks so young. Apart from being a little tired, she looks full of vitality. I feel very safe and secure in her arms...
Daiyu's mind was in turmoil.
Yuan Hongqu was also extremely shocked.
In modern times, she was indifferent to everything and nothing could arouse her interest. She felt gloomy inside and out, and everything around her was gray as well.
Why did she feel that everything became more vibrant after meeting Daiyu?
She doesn't need to look in the mirror to know that she is the kind of radiant, healthy, lively, energetic, and emotionally stable woman described online.
It turns out that she always felt like she was hiding in a dark room and couldn't get out, and her whole being was surrounded by a strong negative energy.
However, the moment she met Daiyu, she suddenly transformed from a patient with severe depression into a healthy person.
She was redeemed.
Yuan Hongqu attributed all of this to Daiyu.
Although she doesn't have the same level of skill and talent as her teacher, she possesses a wealth of knowledge and novelty that her teacher lacks, which is a fusion of a thousand years of experience.
She can't control others, nor does she have the power to change their fate.
But Daiyu, she was determined to protect her!
Even if she couldn't escape the disaster that would befall the Rongguo Mansion in the end, she believed that with her own abilities, it wouldn't be impossible for her to take Daiyu and escape the Rongguo Mansion on her own!
Yuan Hongqu diligently served as a tutor to young Daiyu in the Lin family, while subtly reminding Lin Ruhai to pay close attention and gradually change Daiyu's living environment.
After she arrived at the Lin family, Daiyu stopped taking the Ginseng Nourishing Pill.
Highly nourishing substances like ginseng are not suitable for everyone, especially children.
The food prepared by Yuan Hongqu herself slowly nourished Daiyu's spleen and stomach.
Nowadays, Daiyu no longer takes medicine from the time she can eat; she takes more medicine than she eats.
Before, Daiyu would pant after every step, but now she can stroll through half the courtyard without complaining of being tired.
Daiyu was originally a lively person, but she had been suppressed for a long time. It was only because of the pain of losing her mother that her personality became melancholic.
Yuan Hongqu specially found some young maids of similar age to Daiyu to play and read with her...
As they were about to leave for the Rongguo Mansion, little Daiyu had even learned to play pranks on people. She tricked the little maids who played with her.
This greatly comforted Yuan Hongqu, who was the governess, and made her feel that her education had been effective.
As for the space, it was on Yuan Hongqu's first night at the Lin family's house that, while she was sleeping, she suddenly remembered that she was baking plum blossom shortbread in the kitchen of her small house. It would be a real pity if she disappeared.
She found an ancient recipe for the shortbread and then incorporated some modern flavors to make it. She doesn't know if it's even made yet.
As she was thinking, she suddenly reappeared in the kitchen of the small building.
The oven dinged, signaling that the time was up.
Without thinking, Yuan Hongqu turned on the oven, and the unique aroma of crispy and sweet pastries filled the entire kitchen.
Plum blossom shortbread, as its name suggests, is a small shortbread shaped like a plum blossom, just the right size for one bite.
She placed the pastries on the drying rack, and then remembered:
I wonder if I just had a dream, and now that I've woken up, I'm back in my little house.
But why am I so overjoyed, and why does everything around me seem so wonderful?
Before she dozed off, she was clearly thinking about how to leave without scaring anyone and in a more dignified manner.
As Yuan Hongqu pondered this, her gaze inadvertently fell upon the view outside the window, and she was greatly alarmed:
Where is the snow in the yard?
