The Legend of the Long Room in the Red Mansion

Yingchun and the others, who had embroidered the entire landscape map of Ningfu at home and did not wait for the opportunity to be promoted, were anxious at the beginning and worried that the princess would not be easy to get along with. Not a quarter of an hour can relax a little.

It is conceivable how impatient the girls who are all anxious meet Jia Baoyu who doesn't know the world's worries and only knows how to find someone to laugh and have fun with him.

The concubine Jia, who was in the harem these days, didn't know how she managed to find a job for Jia Zheng, and asked him to take up the post with an adult who was hired as a junior, and to be a judge or something. Helping with some errands, I can use this as an opportunity to become an official again in the future.Jia Zheng was full of joy, happy that his daughter, who had placed high hopes on him, finally brought him good news. Aside from his joy, he made a reservation to get up on August [-] without even asking who the junior student he was going to follow was.

On that day, after paying homage to the ancestral hall and Shi Taijun, he went out with his chariot and horse entourage, and was accompanied by Baoyu and other disciples all the way to the Salei Pavilion.But there he met an acquaintance, Jia Yucun who was recommended by Lin Ruhai to enter Beijing as a candidate for an official position.

Jia Zheng's complexion immediately turned red to purple. He never expected that the result of Feng Shui's turn would be that he would become Jia Yucun's subordinate.At the beginning, Jia Yucun took Lin Ruhai's recommendation letter and begged him to delay the relationship to fill in the vacancy, but now he has become his subordinate.If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't refuse after ordering an official post, Jia Zheng really wanted to hide his face and go home, so that he would never see him again.

Jia Yucun knew early in the morning that he was hired as an apprentice, and there was Jia Zheng in his entourage.That Jia Yucun is the most character with the heart of a tiger and a wolf, he is very good at exploiting camps, and he is also a snob. Now that he has the opportunity to step on Jia Zheng's head, he feels very proud.It’s just that on the surface, he showed a happy attitude of reunion after a long absence, which made Jia Zheng mistakenly think that he was grateful to him, and he was still taking chances, thinking that after this business trip, he would definitely get a good evaluation, and from then on his career would rise straight up. .

The two, each with their own ulterior motives, set out on the road together with the main force. Baoyu waited until he saw no one in sight before returning home.Back in the Grand View Garden, everyone else dispersed, only Baoyu was taken by mandarin ducks to Shi Taijun's Hengwu Garden, and asked Jia Zheng about his travels in detail.Hearing that Baoyu said that the underachiever was Jia Yucun who came to power on the recommendation of Jia Zheng, Shi Taijun also said that if this person knew how to repay Jia Zheng, Jia Zheng would have good results, so he immediately felt relieved.

Baoyu is even more happy to be left alone, wandering freely and indulgently in the garden every day, really wasting time and time.Both Shi Taijun and Mrs. Wang doted on him and spoiled him, calling Baochai, Tanchun, Xiangyun and others to play and play with him every day.Baoyu especially thinks that it is not enough, and he is still pestering to find Daiyu all day long. For a while, thinking of welcoming the spring and cherishing the spring, he also clamors to find Daiyu.

Because Shi Taijun wanted to teach Daiyu and other little girls a lesson, he didn't agree for a while, but let Baoyuke play wildly in the garden, and called a few girls to accompany him.Shi Xiangyun was picked up from the historian over and over again, and almost every time he went back to the historian's home, and someone came to pick him up the next day, just to accompany Baoyu.But Baoyu was thinking about Daiyu in his heart, so he insisted on going to the next door to fetch her back. It would be better if even the second, fourth and Feng sisters came to play with him.

Shi Taijun loves and dotes on Baoyu as a sweetheart, seeing him depressed, he couldn't help it.Finally, one day, after Baoyu cried and begged, he held the precious egg in his arms and ordered Li Wan to go to the mansion immediately, asking Yingchun Xichun and Daiyu to come to the Grand View Garden together.Li Wan had no choice but to take orders and leave.She is the only person in the Grand View Garden who goes in and out of Ronghou's mansion without being disgusted. This kind of thing always falls on her head, regardless of whether she wants to or not.

Li Wan went directly to Sister Feng's yard from the corner gate, and there was only silence, and there was no sound. The little maids sitting on the porch were also nodding their heads and dozing off. Li Wan knew that Sister Feng must be taking a nap.It's really hard to disturb at this time, but she didn't dare to just go back and answer, so she thought about finding a familiar maid to come out, find a room to sit for a while, and wait for Sister Feng to wake up.

Just at this time, Ping'er lifted the curtain and came out, also covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and yawned, obviously just woke up.Li Wan hurriedly called her to stop: "Where is Ping'er going? Is your master awake?"

Ping'er was surprised and said: "When did Grandma come? No one informed her. Damn it, this group of people will be lawless no matter what they do."

Li Wan smiled and said: "I came in quietly, who would know. You just give me a place to stay. When your master wakes up, I have something to say to her."

Ping'er hastily smiled and let Li Wan into the main room, then asked the little maid to serve tea, and went back to the room to see if Sister Feng was awake, so as to pass on Li Wan's words.

For a moment, when Sister Feng heard that Li Wan was coming, she was also surprised. She hurriedly washed and dressed, and came out and said, "What are you doing in my room so quietly?"

Li Wan smiled wryly, and said: "It's not that young master who made all the girls live in the Grand View Garden and play with him. The old lady sent me to talk about it. What else can I do, so I have to come here and beg you." .”

Sister Feng didn't dislike Baoyu that much, but she knew that both Yingchun and Daiyu hated him very much, and even Xichun never paid much attention to Baoyu, so she didn't dare to take on this offending job, so she went on again and again. He shook his hand and said: "Don't look for me, I'm not the grandma now, but our girl is the head of the board, and we can't leave for a moment, I know you are not good at work, just go back, and say that our whole family is busy taking care of the uncle. When preparing the dowry, the palace will send someone to inspect it, so I dare not leave him for a moment, so I can only wait until the matter is over."

Li Wan clapped his hands happily, and praised: "Good idea, I knew it. There must be a good way to find you. I'll just say that." After speaking, he hurriedly lifted his legs and left without taking a sip of tea. The road went back to the Grand View Garden.

Sister Feng looked at her back, sighed to Ping'er, and said: "If I haven't changed my mind and still follow the second bedroom family, I will end up with the eldest grandma now. There is nowhere to go.”

Ping'er said with relief: "Fortunately, grandma has figured it out now and knows what to do. As long as we do what the uncle told us, there will be no more mistakes." Sister Feng nodded silently.

Besides, Li Wan got Sister Feng's idea and hurried back to explain it to Shi Taijun.Shi Taijun became more and more unhappy when he heard this, wishing that something went wrong next door so that the princess could not get married and the royal family would blame her.But Baoyu, who was snuggling beside Shi Taijun, heard this and asked curiously, "When will that princess marry? She is beautiful? She has a good temperament? If she is easy to get along with, then it will be interesting to invite her to the Grand View Garden." Son."

Shi Taijun covered Baoyu's mouth, and said angrily: "I was beaten by you by talking about the imperial court earlier, why don't you have a long memory? People from the royal family may come to play with you? But you are passing by to see someone That's right."

As long as Baoyu sees a beautiful woman, he will not be unhappy. After listening to it, he also said: "What the ancestor said is true. When the time comes, I will naturally go to say hello to Her Royal Highness."

Shi Taijun hugged him with a smile, and said: "Our Baoyu has such a good appearance, good temperament, and good talent. The princess will definitely appreciate it when she sees her. When the time comes, say a few good words in front of the Supreme Emperor and the emperor, so that you can earn money for your ancestors." A high-ranking official will do it." Baoyu curled her lips secretly, dismissing the court, but she had just been beaten before, but she still had a long memory at this time, knowing that she should not continue talking nonsense, so she nodded indiscriminately in agreement, pointing After something happened, he withdrew and went back to the room.

Li Wan was left out in the cold by their grandparents and grandchildren, and he was extremely upset. Whenever there was a good thing, he would only think of Baoyu. Lan'er, who was pitiful for her, was the eldest son and grandson. Jia Huan can't do much better, this family is really disgusting.It's a pity that her old-fashioned father of Guozijian Jijiu will never allow her to go home, let alone remarry.And even if the family agrees, it is impossible for the Jia family to let her take Lan'er away.For Lan'er, no matter how hard the days are, she can only endure like this.

With the excuse of preparing a dowry for the princess, although Baoyu can temporarily stop Baoyu's unreasonable troubles, Tanchun, who is committed to pleasing Shi Taijun and pleasing her favorite Baojia Baoyu, finally came up with a way.

That day, just as Baoyu got up, he saw Cuimo, Tanchun's maid, come in, holding a pair of flower notes in her hand to give him.Baoyu said: "But I forgot. I just said that it would be better to see the third sister. You just came here."

Cui Mo said: "Girl is well. I won't take any medicine today. It's just a little cold." When Baoyu heard about it, he opened the flower paper to look. It turned out that Tanchun proposed to set up a poetry club and invited him to autumn Talk about it in detail.

Baoyu was overjoyed, clapped his hands and laughed, and said, "It's the third sister's elegance. I'll discuss it now." As he said that, he left, Cuimo followed.When I walked to Qinfang Pavilion, I saw the woman on duty at the back door of the garden coming with a copybook in her hand. When she saw Baoyu, she went up to meet her and said, "Greetings to the second master Bao. This is the second son of Lian next door." It was sent by Master Bao, and it is about to be delivered to Second Master Bao."

After hearing this, Baoyu hurriedly took it over to read, but it was written by Yingchun.It turned out that Tanchun planned to set up a poetry club, and he greeted Yingchun, Xichun and Daiyu from the very beginning. The three of them were also very interested, especially Yingchun, who lived in Ning's house for the previous year, and often dealt with other ladies. I also joined the poetry club and did well.It's just that the three of them were very unhappy when they heard that Tanchun wanted to invite Baoyu, so they wrote a post to refuse, and didn't want to send their maid to deal with Baoyu, so they entrusted Jia Lian to send it over.

When Baoyu saw it, he straightened his face, lost his temper immediately, and played a rascal, saying: "Preparing the bride price for the princess, isn't it the eldest brother of the Ning family's business? What did you do to attract sister Feng? Sister Lin can't be detained to help? The second sister is fine, anyway, she is from his family, but sister Lin should belong to our family, so why should she be detained there to help? No, I'm going to save sister Lin and come back With that said, he raised his foot and ran towards the corner gate of the Grand View Garden leading directly to the Ronghou Mansion.

Cui Mo was anxious, so she also ran to stop her, and ordered the woman: "Don't you hurry up and tell the girl?"

Although Baoyu has never practiced martial arts, he is also a young man who can't lift his shoulders or hands, but his footsteps are much faster than Cuimo's maidservant.When Cuimo rushed to the gate of Jiao, out of breath, she saw two tall and thick women holding Baoyu in their arms, blocking Baoyu from letting him in.Baoyu was so angry that he yelled and cursed: "These old women are as ignorant as dead fish eyes, and dare to stop me from passing. Who is the master? Tell me!"

The woman guarding the gate was specifically ordered by Jia Shen, and no one in the Grand View Garden was allowed to come in, and of course Baoyu would be ignored.It's just that she didn't talk back, and despite Baoyu's noise, she just stood sideways in front of the door.Baoyu didn't want to go and flirt with a picky woman by herself, so she signaled Cuimo to go.

Cui Mo didn't want to cause trouble, so she pretended to push it twice, but she couldn't push it, and said, "Second Master Bao, I am too weak to pull this nanny away, let's go back and let the third girl make up her mind, no matter how bad it is , it’s good to go to the ancestors.”

Baoyu was provoked early in the morning, and immediately played the young master's temper, flicked his sleeves, and said in a hateful voice: "Wait for me to go back to the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty, and I will definitely drive you out."

The woman guarding the door finally couldn't help it, and laughed and said: "Second Master Bao, I'm afraid you are not qualified to kick me out. Although I am only a slave, I am also a slave of the dignified Marquis Mansion. You, the master's son, have nothing to do with you. If Master Hou says to kick me out, then I will leave without saying a word. But you, you should honestly find the old lady to act like a spoiled child."

After finishing speaking, the two turned around and entered the door, slammed the corner door hard, and locked it heavily, making loud noises for Baoyu to hear.Baoyu was trembling with anger, pointing at the small door and couldn't help trembling, the corners of his mouth were trembling, he didn't say a word, his eyes turned white, and he fell down.Cui Mo was so frightened that he caught it desperately, and the two of them fell to the ground together, fell heavily together, and both passed out.
