The Legend of the Long Room in the Red Mansion

If you want to say what Sister Feng said, it is also from the heart. Although it is vulgar and straightforward, it is also for the good of the girls.How could someone as smart as Daiyu not hear it?What's more, among the three sisters, Yingchun and Xichun both have family members, father and brother are there, at least they have a backer, and she is alone and helpless. Asking whether I can marry a good family in the future, I am afraid that the century-old reputation of the Gusu Lin family will be destroyed.

Daiyu looked at Yingchun with pleading eyes: "My good sister, come and walk with me tomorrow."

Xichun was puzzled and said: "Didn't you say you didn't like to go? Why are you going again? Let's say yes, you can go, but I only care about gardening and painting. Don't count what you do. Get on me."

Yingchun lovingly twisted Xichun's still baby-fat little face, and said with a smile: "You just play with yourself, and I have other things to do. Lian's second sister-in-law is right, what are our identities, how can we not obey The old lady's order? It's just that the method of obeying is different, let's see tomorrow."

Daiyu said with a smile: "My sister is also a tiger girl of the general gate now. I am planning a strategy and winning thousands of miles away. I will rely on it to meet the general tomorrow." .

Yingchun blushed and pinched Daiyu's cheeks, and said: "You are the only one who loves mean people. I am the general, okay, you can be the military adviser. I will go into battle as the commander, but I want you to plan the world."

Daiyu smiled and ran behind Sister Feng to avoid it, saying: "Wang Jijiu, why don't you save this army division quickly? If you are killed by the general, the important task of boosting momentum and spirit will fall on your shoulders." up."

After hearing this, Sister Feng went to stop Yingchun, and said with a smile: "General Ying, and let Junshi Lin take the crime and make meritorious service, is it better than killing chickens and monkeys now?"

Yingchun and Daiyu laughed together: "What kind of words are these? Is there such a thing used together?"

Sister Feng said proudly: "I don't read as much as you, and I don't have so much ink in my stomach, but when it comes to human relationships, you have to worship me as a teacher. I will teach you a clever trick today. Doesn't Baoyu hate reading the most?" Do you hate official careers? When you go tomorrow, you just talk about your economic ambitions, praise civil servants and military generals, and recall the good stories of our ancestors who went out to be ministers and generals, and just look at them and see if they bother him to death?"

Daiyu covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Sure enough, the Chinese army's sacrificial wine skills are superior. If I am convinced by the military commander, I will be reduced to a counselor in the future. The Chinese army's sacrificial wine is also a military advisor, and I will entrust all the important tasks to you."

Sister Feng sat upright in a pretentious manner, pointed to the teacup on the underground mahogany case and said, "Then why don't you pour tea with me? How can there be no reason not to even kowtow to pay respects to a teacher?" Before she finished speaking, she I couldn't help but laugh.

In the early morning of the next day, when the girls just got up, the lady from the Grand View Garden next door came to pick them up, saying that the old lady had passed on the rice and asked them to eat together.Yingchun is speechless, do I need to be in such a hurry?But he didn't pay much attention to it, and still went step by step as usual, first went to Rongxi Hall to greet Jia She and Mrs. Xing, and then passed an early message to Jia She, Ning Shan and Jia Lian who were going to go to the court to bring the carriage, and put a mat on the road. Stomach pad.Then he and Mrs. Xing sent Jia She and others to the second gate, and then turned back to Qixia Garden, just in time to see that Daiyu and Xichun had finished dressing and washing, and then told them: "A woman came to the Grand View Garden, saying that the old man Madam passed on breakfast, let us all go and use it."

Daiyu sneered and said, "I knew it was someone's idea."

Xichun rubbed her still sleepy eyes and said, "Did sister go to pay her respects already? It's a pity that I got up late and missed it. I hope Uncle Xi and Brother Ning don't get angry with me. By the way, There is also the second elder brother Lian, but he has a good temper, so he should be fine." Sister Feng, who happened to walk to the gate of Qixia Garden, couldn't laugh or cry when she heard this, Jia Lian's lack of temper was naturally a good thing in her opinion, but if Everyone knows that he is easy to talk, so he will definitely suffer in the officialdom in the future.

Yingchun saw Sister Feng first, and hurried forward to say hello: "It's so early in the morning, please trouble Lian's second sister-in-law to come over, but what are your orders?"

Sister Feng sighed: "If I have something important to do, it's not our Second Master Bao who is 'busy with nothing', urging all your posts to come to me. I'm so annoying. I hurried over here to tell you guys, lest I can't control my temper at some point, and another person will turn his back on his back. Now that the second master is away on a business trip, and no one at home can cure him, you just bear with it, and there is nothing more to give. Make yourself uncomfortable."

Daiyu said: "Good sister-in-law, we have all written down what you said. It will only be a day anyway. I don't bother you to accompany me to suffer the punishment today. But just take care of the house and find someone at an appropriate time. Say it's important." If it is necessary, we must come back." If the arrangement is not made first, maybe the old lady will let them live in the garden.Among the three girls standing here, none of them would like to live under the same roof as Jia Baoyu.

Sister Feng patted her chest: "As long as our lords come back from the Yamen, I will find someone to call you." Ning Shan is fine, there is no need to push him out as a shield for such a trivial matter.But isn’t there still Jia She, Grand Duke of She, who is an old man, uncle, and uncle, after work, back home, bored for a while, and wants to ask his own girl to come back and serve him, who dares to say no?Don't let people go?

Yingchun and the others felt relieved and went across the mansion to the Grand View Garden.When I arrived at Hengwuyuan, I was just catching up with Shi Taijun to set up breakfast. The first dish was steamed lamb with milk. Shi Taijun took a look and sighed: "Poor thing, this is something that has never seen the light of day. You children can't eat it." , and wait for something else."

At this time, Baoyu leaned over and salivated and said, "Good sister, good sisters, we haven't seen each other for a long time, how about sitting aside and talking?"

Daiyu said: "It's very bad, I'm here to serve my grandmother's meal." As she spoke, she stepped forward, waved the mandarin ducks away, took the ebony-inlaid silver chopsticks with her own hands, picked up a chopstick of lamb, and sent it to Shi Taijun. On a white porcelain plate.Yingchun also stepped forward, took the handkerchief and stood aside, waiting to serve.Didn't you say breakfast?Then they understand it literally, and they are only responsible for having breakfast with the old lady.

Shi Taijun said: "Poor dear, what kind of life do you live in that mansion? I don't even use the maids to eat here, so why do I need you to serve me? Come and sit next to me, and I want to tell you It would be better to find a day and move back. Why do you need to be under the hedge of others?"

Xichun suddenly interjected, "Where do you live is not counted as a hostage? Anyway, I have no home to return to, and sister Lin is the same. It's just a change from this family's fence to which one's fence." , looked at the row of maids behind Shi Taijun holding bowls, tails, towels, and handkerchiefs, and then looked at a round table full of vegetables and vegetables from all over the world. There was a touch of eye-catching disapproval.

Shi Taijun was choked by Xichun, but Mrs. Wang was secretly satisfied. She didn't want Lin Daiyu, a vicious girl, to move back again.She had long wanted to move the vacant Xiaoxiang Pavilion to Baochai.It's just that Bao girl hides her stupidity and clumsiness, and refuses to go beyond the rules, and always only lives in the Xiujin Building that was first allocated to her.

Baoyu didn't understand the trick hidden in these words, but he just wanted to get closer to Daiyu, so he also walked to Shi Taijun's side, took the tail of the stag from the hand of the maid behind her, and stroked it.How could Shi Taijun be willing to do these jobs with his sweetheart, and hurriedly shouted: "That's not fun, you put it down quickly, sit next to me and wait for dinner."

Baoyu laughed and said, "Today I also serve my ancestors once, and it seems that my ancestors have not loved me in vain all these years."

After hearing this, Shi Taijun turned his head and said to the people around him: "You have all heard how filial my Bao Yuer is, everyone only complains that I favor him, but they don't look at what he likes."

Xichun abruptly interjected|put in another sentence: "Didn't Sister Lin start it first?" She really didn't understand why Sister Lin didn't get praise for serving the food, and Baoyu even praised half a story when she took the whisk Come.It's obviously the same filial piety, isn't it?

Shi Taijun was choked twice by the little granddaughter in the next room, and he was already a little angry, but because she was from the Dongfu, and the Dongfu was clearly not on her side with the second room, so he had to endure it, but continued I also lost my good face.

"I don't need to serve anyone here, you go to the garden and have breakfast at Sanyatou's." Tanchun came out, answered in a low voice, turned around and took the lead to leave.Daiyu put down her chopsticks, saluted and said goodbye.Yingchun pulled Xichun from behind, also hurriedly retreated, and followed in a few steps.Baoyu clings to Daiyu ditheringly, which annoys her very much.Baochai was not here, she was an outsider, and she would not dine with Jia's family except for big days like three festivals and two birthdays, or some special banquets.

After a while, when we arrived at Qiushuangzhai, some maids brought food boxes from the big kitchen and spread them out one by one.Everyone looked over and found that Tanchun's portion ratio is not very high, there are only two kinds of porridge, three kinds of hot snacks, two kinds of cold snacks, and four kinds of side dishes that go with the porridge. The style has not changed.

These meals, in the middle of the capital, can be called luxurious, but in the room of a young lady from the Rongguo Mansion, they only look shabby and sad.It seems that Tanchun is really having a hard time these days.

Yingchun and the others live in the Hou's mansion. Although Ning Shan does not advocate extravagance and waste, there is no shortage of meals that meet the status and status, especially the girls are delicate customers. In addition to regular meals, they can also go to the university as they like. Order your favorite dishes in the kitchen.As for Baoyu, his share in Jia's house is only slightly lower than that of the old lady. Sometimes his mother, Mrs. Wang, does not have as many dishes as he does, including the dishes that the old lady rewards.So when he saw the dishes on Tanchun's table, he immediately shouted: "Why is that all? It's too annoying, isn't this bullying the third sister?"

This knife can be regarded as stabbing into Tanchun's heart. Isn't she just repeating the situation of Yingchun being angry in the mansion in the past?Except that there is one greedy nanny less than her, but there is an extra mother who is a scumbag, and a younger brother who can only drag her back and make her look ashamed. Besides, what kind of life did Yingchun live in the past? , she also copied it completely.

Daiyu couldn't bear to see Tanchun's expression, so she turned her head to look at Qiushuangzhai where she lived.Tanchun always likes to be broad and bright, and the three rooms in the main house are not separated.There is a large pear marble case on the place, on which are various famous postings, but after a closer look, I find that it is not the authentic work, but handwritten by Tanchun himself. He was sent to Baoyu.

On the east side is a couch, and on the Babu bed is a gauze curtain with green and double embroidered flowers, grass and insects.This curtain was only replaced a few days ago, and it was embroidered by Li Wan at Li Wan's place when Tanchun was bored.She embroidered something and no one could give it to her, so she simply embroidered it meticulously for herself.

In addition, there are dozens of precious inkstones and pen holders of various colors, and the pens inserted in the sea of ​​pens are like forests.On the other side, there is a big Ru kiln flower pouch, filled with white chrysanthemums filled with crystal balls.According to Tanchun, there used to be a large-scale Xiangyang "Yinyu Tu" hanging on the wall, and a pair of couplets hanging on the left and right, which are Yan Lugong's ink marks, but now they are gone.Yingchun knew that this thing was originally a dowry given to her by her elder brother. It was placed in the garden by Mrs. Wang when she was visiting relatives, and later her father asked her to come back, so that Tanchun's place is now empty, except for valuable decorations. All gone.
