The Legend of the Long Room in the Red Mansion

Because Jia She wanted to celebrate his eldest son's promotion, he planned to hold a banquet for three days. Unexpectedly, Lin Daiyu, a cousin who lived in his home, fell ill after finishing the first day of work. The little girl loses her temper.What's more, Chunxian, Daiyu's maid, insisted that the girl fell ill because she was tired from helping her, and she was already weak.Saying this made Ning Shan feel a little guilty.

He had also heard that his cousin Lin Shisheng was weak and sick, but he didn't want to be so weak.Younger sister Yingchun is not very healthy and strong. She has been doing housework in the morning and evening for more than a year and has not said that she has fallen ill once. This Lin is indeed very delicate.It's just that he fell ill because he was preparing a banquet for him, so why should he blame him instead?

No one could do this kind of thing, so Ning Shan asked Yingchun to appease Daiyu, telling her to just rest well, and then asked Jia Lian to take his post, and personally invited a doctor from the Imperial Hospital to come over and give Daiyu a rest. Diagnose the pulse and prescribe a prescription for recuperation.

Daiyu sent her maid Xueyan to the front yard to thank Ning Shan, but Ning Shan avoided seeing her, she just wanted to let her rest in peace and not think too much.Yingchun also went to explain it in person, and Daiyu also believed that Ning Shan was not a hypocritical person. Since she said to let her rest at ease, she really didn't blame her. Staying in Qixia Garden to recuperate from illness also takes this opportunity to avoid Baoyu again, and make an end to the muddled relationship in the past.

Baoyu, who didn't know how much trouble she had caused, sighed and longed to live in the same garden with Lin Daiyu again, so she went to beg Shi Taijun many times for this.He also knew that his mother was somewhat displeased with Daiyu, and subconsciously avoided the possibility of letting Mrs. Wang know.But he didn't know that Mrs. Wang had planted ears around him to repay the gods. He chanted Daiyu several times a day, and there were many attackers, and he would report to Mrs. Wang every now and then.It made Mrs. Wang hate Lin Daiyu, a little goblin, even more. In order to resist, she asked people to go to Lixiangyuan several times to call Baochai to live in Grand View Garden.

Baochai also has lost her mind about Baoyu now, so she would not go back to Zilingzhou in Zhuijin Building unless she could, but she dared not refuse when Mrs. Wang called her by name.They had no choice but to discuss with their mother, Aunt Xue, to please Wang Xifeng as soon as possible and gain a foothold in Ronghou's mansion, so that they would also have the confidence to turn against the second bedroom of Jia's family in the Grand View Garden.

However, there are risks in doing so. First of all, Wang Xifeng is not No.1 in charge of the Ronghou Mansion.Not only Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing are on the top, but Ning Shan is also in the middle. At worst, there is Jia Lian who is the rightful head of the family. They only want to please Wang Xifeng, but the other four don't agree, that's in vain.

But the other four were not something they could see as soon as they wanted to.Needless to say, Jia Amnesty and Ning Shan and his son, especially Ning Shan, who has power and status, not everyone can get in touch with each other.If Jia Lian is still the playboy he used to be, it's not difficult to get along with him.But now, even Jia Zhen and Jia Rong and Jia Qiang have been led to make positive progress. Where can Xue Pan find a way to talk to others?

Baochai's side is not going well either, Yingchun has a good relationship with her, but compared with Daiyu and Xichun, it's not so good.Moreover, Yingchun herself also obeys Ning Shan's orders, if Ning Shan doesn't like their Xue family, it's useless for her to try to make friends with Yingchun.What's more, the purpose of her clinging to Yingchun is to let Yingchun bring her into the palace during the talent show. In this way, she will be a servant girl, so how can she talk to her peers?But if he lowered his status now, I'm afraid that Yingchun would look down on her, let alone pay her any attention.

Baochai is very troubled every day, and has to promise an angry Jia Baoyu, and she can't even maintain her usual good temper.Finally, one day, taking advantage of the little girl Jiahui's pretext of begging for a fan, she had a violent fit, which startled Baoyu and gave herself a bad breath.

Baoyu was both surprised and wronged, not understanding why the sisters who were good in the past didn't like to play with him anymore.In fact, Baoyu has no bad intentions, let alone malice, he is just a selfish child who can't grow up.Because he is loved by others, he doesn't wink; because he is spoiled by others, he doesn't know that others have their own affairs to do, and he is not born to circle around him.

Even Shi Xiangyun doesn't appear much now.Originally, as the posthumous daughter of Lord Hou, she was also eligible for the draft, but the royal family didn't like her as a daughter of Liujue, and she didn't have such a generous dowry as Lin Daiyu, so the historian applied for her easily. When it comes to exemption, it saves a lot of trouble.Now, she was taken back by Baolinghou's mansion, waiting to see her marriage.Because Mrs. Baolinghou was reluctant to let her daughter enter the palace, she applied for exemptions to all the girls from the historian family, and all of them were approved.Right now, waiting for the oldest Shi Xiangyun to make a decision, she can make a good choice for her beloved daughter.

Ever since Baoyu was ridiculed by the mother-in-law of the Ronghou Mansion because of the poetry club, Tanchun didn't like to show up in front of people, or in other words, mainly because she didn't like to show up in front of Shi Taijun and Mrs. Wang.When she has nothing to do now, she reads and practice calligraphy in her Qiushuangzhai, or after Jia Lan goes home to study, she goes to Liaofengxuan to do some needlework with Li Wan.It's just that Li Wan did these things for his son Jia Lan, but who could Tanchun do for them?Now Baoyu doesn't dare to get close to her. Shi Taijun and Mrs. Wang have no time to hide away, and her own mother and brother are also separated. The things she makes are just for her own use, or simply to pass the time and make something casually. Nothing to think about.

After all, Shi Xiangyun's marriage has a plan, and Shi Taijun has a reason to call her to play in the Grand View Garden. Baoyu finally has someone to accompany him, and there is much less trouble.

Shi Xiangyun is a lively and cheerful person, talking and laughing as soon as he comes, first clamoring to find Sister Bao, and then forcing Tanchun to come out to play.As soon as he turned his head, he didn't see Yingchun Daiyu and Xichun, so he asked curiously, "Why aren't Second Sister, Lin Sister and Fourth Sister here?"

Mrs. Wang's face froze, and she said: "Madam Lin is not in good health, and she lives next door to recuperate. Go and play by yourself, don't call her, lest you get sick."

Xiangyun said again: "Then what about the second sister and the fourth sister? They are also sick?"

Mrs. Wang became more and more impatient and said: "Those three girls always live together. I'm afraid they are all sick and can't see people."

Xiangyun still has a lot of questions: "I just heard that the eldest brother of the Ning family was promoted to an official position the day before yesterday, and Uncle Xi held a three-day banquet to entertain guests. I heard that the back house is run by the second sister. Why did he fall ill in just a few days? ?”

Mrs. Wang said in a cold voice: "Maybe it's so lively." These words simply mean that the big house is the world, and the excitement is too much to be punished by the gods. Fortunately, Xiangyun is still young and can't understand, otherwise I heard Mrs. Wang Such a character should have run away in fright.

As soon as Shi Xiangyun came, Baoyu was excited again and started to toss. The two of them chatted and chatted, and somehow they brought up the matter that Tanchun proposed a poetry club a while ago. Tell me to go, this is to make me anxious."

Baoyu said: "There are some reasons, but it didn't work out. Now you are here. Let's do it together. We will definitely be able to do it."

Xiangyun clapped her hands and asked Tanchun how she made up her mind and what kind of poetry club she wanted to start.

Tanchun forced a smile and said, "It's just a little joke of mine. I don't know how to write poetry. What do I do when I get up? What's more, there are not enough people. The second and fourth sisters have all returned home, and sister Lin is recuperating next door. Sister Bao is also away for three days and two days, and there are only a few of us, and we can't play, so forget it."

But Xiangyun definitely refused to follow her. She was not as comfortable as the girls in the Ronghou Mansion and the Grand View Garden, and she had no control over her family. She finally came out for a while, and she would not be reconciled if she didn't have enough fun. It is necessary to set up a poetry club.

Baoyu also wanted to take the opportunity to meet Daiyu, and at the same time was thinking about Baochai who often came home recently, so he took Xiangyun and went directly to Hengwuyuan to find Shi Taijun. Shi Taijun pestered each "ancestor" one by one, until Shi Taijun's heart was full of joy, and he immediately took it all in, and said that he would give money to support their poetry club, so that they could just go and have fun.As he said that, under Baoyu's begging, he sent someone to the Ronghou Mansion next door on the spot, and ordered Yingchun, Daiyu, and Xichun to come to the Grand View Garden after breakfast tomorrow.

That night, Yingchun received a post sent by Shi Taijun, and couldn't help frowning, and said to Daiyu and Xichun: "Although it is said that the old lady needs to be respected, but this is because of Baoyu, why did you come to us again?" Is this precious jade really an amazing treasure? Do you want everyone to hold it and respect it?"

Daiyu snorted coldly: "It is always said that being born with jade has a great fortune, but I am a mortal with naked eyes, so I can't see where the good fortune is? All officials, civil servants and generals in the court are all thieves in his eyes. Come on, people don’t bother to be an official, maybe he’s just a romantic talent or something. It’s a pity, his literary talent is not as good as ours, so what kind of talent can he be?”

Xichun tilted her head and said, "I hate writing poetry, and I don't know how to do it. I don't want to go. If they start a painting club, I'd like to go and have fun." The scenery in the Grand View Garden is still very beautiful. It's getting rarer.It's just that she hates the feeling of being forced to play with others, so she only wants to go sightseeing by herself, but she doesn't like being called over by names.

Sitting on the side, Sister Feng ate melon seeds and said with a smile: "I don't understand what you are doing so reluctantly. Anyway, don't you just go to the garden to have fun, and there are people setting up wine and banquets, why not?" go?"

Yingchun said: "It's not that I have any complaints against the old lady, but I just don't like that she came to us because of Baoyu." This family has maintained all the systems centered on Baoyu since a long time ago. Yingchun couldn't get used to it anymore.Not to mention Xichun who never liked this system. Without Yingchun to accompany her, she didn't want to stay in Jia's second bedroom for a day. Although Ningguo Mansion may not be good, at least no one made a fuss in front of her.No amount of dirty things could reach her ears.On the contrary, it was the servants of the Rongguo Mansion who didn't know what to say and dared to say anything, which made her hear a lot of bad things.

Sister Feng bit the melon seed shell, and spit it out with a "bai'er". It was scattered all over the Kang table, and no one asked to clean it up. She just pushed the table and threw it all on the ground: "The old lady just likes Baoyu, you Unconvinced? Are you unconvinced that you will also be born once? I know you all look down on Baoyu who hangs around with your girls all day long, and is touted as a great fortune, but in fact, he has only read a few books. It’s all just knowing a few more words. I don’t understand the principles of doing things and being a human being, but so what? What’s bothering you? He has become a waste snack king. What has it to do with you? Why bother? Offended the old lady? That's an ancestor, or an old ancestor, with a super-grade imperial order, which one of the concubines in the capital can't be contacted by her? It's the concubine Zhen in the palace. They are handkerchiefs. She wants I really want to trouble you, just go outside and sigh and say something, none of you girls can marry a good family."
