The Legend of the Long Room in the Red Mansion

It is also difficult to find the spring, under such conditions, the house can still be tidied up beautifully and elegantly.She set up a large cauldron on the only Yanxia Xiangugequan Ishino Life Case in the house, and on the left side of the red sandalwood stand is a large plate of a large kiln, containing dozens of delicate yellow and exquisite big bergamot, echoing the white chrysanthemums. , suddenly appeared a lot more colorful.

On the right side of the paint rack hangs a white jade chime, and next to it hangs a small hammer. It is not only blank but not empty, the layout style is really good.Everyone looked at it with regret in their hearts. If Tan girl was born as a man, she might make a great career, at least much better than the existing men in the second room.

Although Daiyu and the others feel sorry for Tanchun, they can't help her.And today, Shi Taijun specified that they should eat at Tanchun's place, so that Tanchun could try to keep them so that they could play with Baoyu.If he couldn't keep it, Tanchun must be blamed.How pitiful, how sad.However, after all, Daiyu and others could not allow themselves to fall into the mud again just to help her.

People with good intentions are like Yingchun, and now they start to think about whether there is any good way to get the third sister out of this sea of ​​suffering.Just thinking about it again, the eldest and the second room have been at odds for more than 20 years, and their whole family is now relying on the elder brother Ning Shan, and the eldest brother Ning Shan and Liang Zi, the second room of the Jia family, are big enough, she should save trouble, Don't make trouble for big brother, but also make yourself ashamed.

It is simply that Jia's family pays attention to eating without saying anything, and Daiyu finally has a reason to ignore Baoyu in a fair and honest manner.Because it was at Qiushuangzhai, Tanchun was the host, and was recommended to sit in the right seat. Yingchun sat on her left, followed by Xichun, and Daiyu sat on her right, and Baoyu sat down next to Daiyu.There are also maids who are obsessed with dust whisks, rinsing bowls, towels, etc., but there are not as many people serving as Shi Taijun.But they were all extremely quiet, not even a cough.

After the meal was silent, Tanchun's big maidservant Shi Shu personally brought tea on a small tea tray and presented it to everyone one by one.Baoyu took it and rinsed his mouth first, then drank the second cup.However, Yingchun was waiting, but she only held the tea bowl in her hand, and didn't touch a drop of it on her lips.

It turned out that it was Lin Daiyu who told everyone that Lin Ruhai taught her daughter to cherish blessings and nourish her body. After eating, she had to wait for the rice to be eaten, and then drink tea after a while, so as not to hurt the spleen and stomach.Although this is the rule in the south, it is different from Beijing, but Daiyu was grateful for the kindness of the people in Ronghou's mansion, so she told it. Ning Shan also asked the imperial doctor to ask, and it was true, so she changed the rules. Tea was served only a quarter of an hour after dinner.

Tanchun didn't know and went in, only when Yingchun and the others looked down on the old tea from her place and didn't want to drink it, they didn't have anything to say except self-pity.Everyone was silent, only Baoyu kept making noises, and she talked to Daiyu for a while, but Daiyu ignored him; then she went to ask Yingchun how her life was in Ning's house, and without waiting for an answer, she turned her head and asked Xichun when After moving to live in the Grand View Garden, Xichun said coldly: "There is no room for me, so why move in? Brother Bao, please be more careful with what you say in the future. You don't have to make a little girl like me laugh."

Both Yingchun and Daiyu covered their mouths with handkerchiefs, for fear that they would laugh on the spot, embarrass Baoyu, and make trouble again.This little sister has a very sharp mouth, but she is always rational, making people speechless and unable to speak of her.

Baoyu also tasted Shi Taijun being choked and speechless, but he is used to being considerate of girls, so it's okay to smile, and he won't really hold grudges and cherish spring.This is also one of his few advantages, and one of the reasons why the girls can tolerate him a little.If he dared to shake his face face to face, lose his temper, keep all the girls saying a word, choke him to death, then walk away, never to pay attention to him again.

For a while, everyone was silent. As the host, Tanchun was really uncomfortable, so he managed to find a topic and said, "I don't know what kind of dinner the old lady is going to prepare for today. It's not a festival, I really want to For no reason."

Yingchun replied: "Perhaps there is no reason. It's just that the old man is lonely and wants to go to the garden for fun. Let's be obedient and accompany him."

Xichun said: "If you go to the garden, let me go back and get the drawing paper and brushes first." She has no feelings for the people in the Grand View Garden, the only thing she likes is the scenery here, which is no worse than the Ning Mansion in the past, and it is still different. Such a style, she really can't put it down, she can't wait to come here every day for a stroll and draw.

Daiyu smiled and said, "Three girls have plenty of paper and pens here, and you want to go back to get them? Save your legs and feet, save them for the garden."

Tanchun also laughed and said, "Fourth sister, are you still being polite to me? No matter what, if you want to use it, just take it."

After hearing this, Xichun went to the case and flipped the paper, picked up the nib of the pen to look at it one by one, sometimes nodded and sometimes shook his head, and after a long while, he sighed and said: "Just use it as it is, it's always okay to draw a draft." , As for the color, I have to go home and paint it."

After hearing this, Tanchun forced a smile and said, "I'm not good at painting. I don't even have enough paints here. I'm really treating my sister poorly. Please don't blame me."

Xichun said: "What's so strange about this? Third sister doesn't like to draw, so naturally she doesn't know how to prepare those things. It's like I'm not good at writing and composing poems! Another day, third sister, you go to play with me, even a I can't find a single wolf that can write couplets."

After Tanchun heard this, she was still depressed. There were few things for writing in Xichun's place because she didn't like writing.However, she knew that as early as when Brother Zhen's family took refuge with Brother Ning, Brother Ning ordered someone to take care of Xichun in Ning's house to be called the little miss, and also ordered someone to buy everything needed for painting early in the morning.

That long list - there are dozens of snow wave papers, which are large and ink-coated; there are also heavy silks of various colors, which can be cut and drawn; The stoves for preparing glue, glue out, and washing pens are all made-to-order.

There is also a big powder oil table, covered with felt, specially placed in the middle of a bright and light-permeable wing room, for Xichun to use when painting.Painters of all colors and brushes can open painting shops—four No. [-] pens, four No. [-] pens, four No. [-] pens, four large dyes, four medium dyes, four small dyes, Ten southern crab claws, ten small crab claws, ten men's eyebrows, twenty large colored ones, twenty small colored colored ones, ten open faces, and twenty wicker sticks, all of which will never be used up in a lifetime of painting.

As for the colors, arrow red, southern ochre, stone yellow, stone blue, stone green, Guanhuang, Guanghua, clam powder, rouge, etc., are countless. Be stubborn, do it again, I guarantee it will be enough for a lifetime.In addition, there are [-] posts of Da Chi Fei Jin, [-] posts of Green Gold, Guangyun glue and Jinglum, etc.

And it's not only in the Ning Mansion that everything is prepared, since the Ning Mansion was renovated and the whole family moved back to the Rongguo Hou Mansion, Xichun forgot to pack up those things and bring them back, Brother Ning immediately asked someone to buy a new one.Apart from Yingchun, this honor can only be enjoyed by Xichun whose whole family follows Ning Shan.Although Lin Daiyu is a fair and fair cousin, Jia She's direct niece, and Ning Shan's cousin in blood, she should be second only to Yingchun, but in the eyes of Jia She, Ning Shan and his son, it is not as fast as five clothes. Xichun's coming is more pleasing to the eye.

The more I think about it, the more I can't help Tanchun's grief and hatred.What's sad is my own fate, why didn't I be born into the belly of Aunt Dafang; or maybe I was born in Dongfu, but it is better than now.What I hate is that Ning Shan's heart is too cruel, a gangster like Uncle Jia She can support her without hesitation, and a weak person like Lian's second brother can help, so why is she alone as an enemy of their second wife?

The empress of the second bedroom was demoted, the aunt was convicted, and the biological father lost his position. Which one was not Ning Shan's handwriting?He didn't come forward directly, but also contributed behind his back.Why?Just because he is Da Fang's adoptive son, he wants to share his nostrils with Da Fang?Just because the second room was stronger than the first room, now that the first room has turned over, they are going to trample them into the mud?

But what does all this have to do with her?She is a little girl, who can she offend?What could be wrong?Why is it someone else when you are enjoying the blessings, but you bring her with you when you are suffering?

Tanchun's wild thoughts stopped at Shi Taijun's call. Glass, one of the eight maids around her, came over in person and asked if the girls had breakfast?The old lady is interested today and wants to go to the garden, so let them all follow along. Of course, the most important treasure jade will not be left behind.

The old lady also said that some time ago, I heard that they were going to set up a poetry club for fun. Such an elegant thing is very good. Her old man is very supportive. After visiting the garden today, they will open a club in her yard.Everyone composes poems together and judges who is superior, and it also opens the eyes of her old man to see how capable the girls and boys of our family are.

Tanchun was the first to get up and responded: "Since the old lady has an order, I will obey naturally. Sister Glass, you lead the way."

Glass Road dared not dare, so he led the way to where Shi Taijun and others are now.

Everyone came out of the Autumn Shuangzhai, and the sun was just hanging high. Fortunately, the weather is clear and clear, and the garden tour is also very good.Li Wan, who lived in Liaofengxuan, had been ordered to get up early in the morning to watch the old women and maids sweep the fallen leaves, wipe the tables and chairs, and prepare tea and wine utensils.At this time, I just met the girls and greeted each other. Yingchun took the lead and said: "Laozhu's sister-in-law, but I keep you busy."

Li Wan was in a daze, thinking of those days in the past, even when the two had a quarrel and separated, and Yingchun always called her "Sister-in-law" directly, but now she changed her name to "Sister-in-law Zhu", presumably it was her The sister-in-law of a princess is going to pass the door, she is so cautious in order to avoid taboo.

It's just that when he thought of the princess who was going to pass the door in the next door, who was also the sister-in-law, and would be called grandma in the future, Li Wan couldn't help but think of their uncles.Her husband, Uncle Zhu, has already gone, and she walked away easily and cleanly, but only Lan Er, who was not valued like her, was left behind in this house to live with her; but that Princess Yinghua had a good life Indeed, she was born in the noblest and richest royal family in the world, and she had to marry a unparalleled general, great husband, and prince. It was true that all the luck of women in the world was concentrated on her alone.

Seeing that Li Wan was in a daze, Yingchun didn't answer her words, and didn't take it seriously. She just paid her respects and said goodbye to Shi Taijun.Only then did Li Wan regain his composure, and hurriedly said: "You can just play with the old lady today, and I will take care of everything, so you don't have to worry about it."

In fact, it turned out that Wang Xifeng was in charge of all such matters in the family, and Li Wan himself had no experience, so he thought Mrs. Wang would take care of it and learn more.But Mrs. Wang didn't like to see Lin Daiyu, so she threw her hands away and threw it to her. She is a daughter-in-law, what else can she do!She also had no choice but to bite the bullet and hold on. Originally, she had hoped that Feng Yatou would come along with her. She also had someone to discuss with, but when she saw only the girls, she knew that Feng Yatou and her good aunt had really broken up. There will be no more peaceful coexistence.Although Li Wan is better with Sister Feng in his heart, but she is Mrs. Wang's daughter-in-law, so he has no choice but to look away from Sister Feng in the future, so as not to offend Mrs. Wang's eyes. .
