The Legend of the Long Room in the Red Mansion

Don't pass Li Wan, everyone followed the glass and walked towards the garden. Along the way, the sisters talked about Li Wan's reaction just now.While talking and laughing, I have come to the Qinfang Pavilion.Shi Taijun was sitting leaning on a railing couch covered with a large brocade mattress. When he saw the girls coming with Baoyu, he beckoned first, called Baoyu and Daiyu, and sat down next to her.Hugged in his arms, he asked lovingly when he fell asleep at night, when he got up in the morning, what breakfast and tea did he have at Sanyatou today, but he was satisfied, if he was not full, just ask someone to go to the kitchen and pass on some snacks and so on.

Before Daiyu could reply, Baoyu said first, "Sister Lin didn't drink tea, presumably because she is not used to the tea from Third Sister. Ancestor, you have good tea from your palace, so give Sister Lin a bowl." Let’s try something new with me, as well as all the sisters.” After talking about Lin Daiyu, he can think of others. This is also a major feature of Baoyu. If you talk about his persistence in this aspect, he can be regarded as a dedicated.It's just that once Lin Daiyu is no longer in front of his eyes, he will only care about whoever he sees.

When Shi Taijun heard about it, he hurriedly asked Yuanyang to go to Hengwu Garden in person, brought a small pot over, opened it, and found that it was the new tea that Siam paid tribute to this year.Concubine Jia didn't have a share, but Taijun Shi was given to her by Concubine Zhen Taigui. She gave four small jars in total. As soon as she got it, she gave Baoyu a jar, and kept the others herself. Now she can give it to Dai It's really not easy to get a whole jar of jade.As long as there is no comparison with Baoyu, Shi Taijun's affection for Daiyu can be regarded as the first among all grandchildren.

When Daiyu heard that it was tribute tea, she dared not accept it, but shook her head repeatedly.Shi Taijun insisted on letting Zijuan pick it up, insisting that she take it back to drink.He also said that if you like it, just come and get it again.Before the words were finished, it was changed again. If you go back to live in the Grand View Garden, there will be no restrictions on what you want to eat and what you want to play. Wouldn't it be comfortable?

When Baoyu heard this, he hurriedly agreed, saying that the Grand View Garden was like a fairyland on earth.Daiyu no longer has feelings for Baoyu, and even started to feel a little resentful, so she ignored his words and only said to Shi Taijun: "My granddaughter also misses the old lady very much, but she is taking medicine now, and the imperial doctor diagnoses the pulse every month. I have taken many medicine soups for recuperation, and my body can't get better for a while, I'm afraid that if I live too close to the old lady, I will get sick, and at that time, I will surely die."

Shi Taijun said angrily: "What's not dead? I'm an old man who is holding you down. You will be blessed. Don't be afraid, just go home and live. What kind of medicine do you need? Grandma will ask someone to prepare it for you. It's the same. of."

Daiyu pursed her lips, glanced at Yingchun quietly, and Yingchun said understandingly: "The prescription is nothing, the key is that once every half a month, a doctor from the imperial hospital will come to check the pulse in person. Now at home, even our master can't invite you Only big brother has this face. If sister Lin doesn't live in the Hou's mansion, how can I ask Mr. Yuanzheng to give me a pulse?"

Xichun also said: "It's not that the other imperial physicians are not good, but the hospital is definitely the best. However, except for Big Brother Ning, no one has the face to ask him to visit the old man every month, so old lady, you should let Sister Lin Continue to live in the Hou's mansion and take care of your health. After all, you also love Sister Lin, and you don't like to see her be sick for three days or five days, don't you?"

Shi Taijun glanced at Xichun coldly, resenting that this girl was becoming more and more inferior, but he couldn't vent his anger on her, so he just ignored her words, got up and said: "I've been sitting for a long time, I should move, let's go to the garden Go shopping."

Daiyu took advantage of the opportunity to support Shi Taijun on one arm, and Baoyu supported the other. Shi Taijun looked very happy, and he was going to see the Xiaoxiang Pavilion first.This was originally Daiyu's residence, but she moved away for several months. Shi Taijun was thinking about calling her back sooner or later, so he didn't allow others to stay here, and only asked people to clean it every day, keeping it as it was.

When you arrive at the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, you will see the main entrance after passing the plaque of "You Feng Lai Yi". As soon as you enter, you can see the roads between green bamboos on both sides, the ground is covered with moss, and a stone-strewn road in the middle, all swept clean Clean, as if the master is still coming in and out every day.Although Daiyu was disappointed that Shi Taijun calculated that she and the Lin family would pave the way for Baoyu's future, she was not unmoved when she saw this intention.

Shi Taijun paid special attention to Daiyu's expression, seeing her thoughtful, nostalgic expression made her even more happy.Zicuckoo stepped forward quickly and opened the Xiang curtain, asking Shi Taijun to come in and sit down.Seeing that the furnishings in the room were exactly the same as the day she left, Daiyu was even more moved, so she personally offered a bowl of tea to Shi Taijun on a small tea tray.

Shi Taijun held it, took a sip and said: "Sure enough, it's not as good as this year's new tea, Yu'er, you'd better eat the pot I gave you. It was rewarded by the imperial concubine Zhen in the palace, and her share was hand-picked by the Supreme Emperor , there is nothing better."

Xichun pursed her lips secretly, and said with disdain in her heart: The tea they ate in Ronghou's mansion in the past was also tribute tea, and it was directly rewarded by the Supreme Emperor, which was his own share, much better than the one he rewarded Zhen Taigui Concubine.After all, no matter how expensive the imperial concubine is, she is just a concubine. How can she compare with the emperor in food and clothing?

The Supreme Emperor is now wholeheartedly trying to win over Ning Shan, not only does he love Princess Yinghua very much, but he also intends to show that he attaches great importance to Ning Shan in front of others.Therefore, the rewards that Ning Shan received were all top-notch, plus the booty that was won in the Qianxiang Country naval battle, now Ning Shan's private house may be even richer than the Supreme Emperor.As for the stingy and poor embarrassing emperor, let alone the tea he can drink now is not as good as the one Ning Shan gave Jia Amnesty.

While drinking tea, Shi Taijun teased Daiyu to agree to go back to live in the Grand View Garden. Daiyu just smiled and avoided the topic, and did not directly refuse, but she also firmly refused to agree.Yingchun saw that it was really difficult for her to deal with Shi Taijun and Baoyu by herself, so she went to the case where there was a pen and inkstone under the window and a book full of books, and interjected, "Sister Lin, you have a lot of books here. , Are they all brought from the south?"

Daiyu took the opportunity to get away from Shi Taijun's side, and also went to the window, and together with Yingchun, she flipped through the book and said, "Most of them were collected by my father when he was alive. I brought them with me when I went to Beijing. Thinking about it now, There are many others I haven't seen."

Shi Taijun immediately said: "Then why don't you hurry back and take a look, most of the five generations of your Lin family's collections have orphan copies among them."

Yingchun said at about the same time: "Maybe you can borrow some of my books to go back and have a look? I also want to see how many good things you have collected from the four generations of the Lin family? Maybe it can be compared to my big brother's house?"

Shi Taijun was annoyed that someone mentioned Ning Shan, but Yingchun seemed to have no eyeballs, she couldn't look at people's faces anymore, and wanted to lose her temper immediately.Unexpectedly, Daiyu readily agreed, and said to Xueyan, "Come and tidy up for me, this row, this row, and the three books on the desk, as well as the ones on the desk in front of the bed, all packed up together." I'll send it to the next door." After speaking, he said to Yingchun: "My good sister, I think these are all very good, you should read them too, you will never put them down after reading them."

Yingchun also said to Xiuju: "Then you stay and help Xueyan, we will take care of the old lady and go to another room to sit, so as not to clean up later and make dust and choke her old man."

Shi Taijun didn't have time to say a word, so he was supported by Daiyu Yingchun from left to right, and said in his mouth: "Old ancestor, walk slowly, be careful of your feet, be careful that the moss is slippery." Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

As soon as he came out, he saw Baochai staggering towards Aunt Xue supporting her.Once Shi Taijun had the steps to go down, he put a smile on his face again, pointed at Aunt Xue and said: "I just said that those who are late will be punished, and if you don't want my aunt, you will be late."

Baochai came forward to pay respects, and Aunt Xue smiled and said, "I never thought that the old lady would be happy today. She will come here sooner or later. It's my fault. She should be punished. Let me handle today's banquet."

Shi Taijun was taken aback for a moment, then forced a smile and said: "I just said that I want to be a host, why did my aunt fight with me?"

Baochai said with a smile: "Back to the old lady, my mother can't help offering treasures. There is a guy in our pawnshop who sent a few catties of good fat crabs from his field. My mother thought Now, more than half of the people here, starting from the old lady and even the people in the garden, love to eat crabs, so they rushed to show their courtesy." After finishing speaking, they supported Aunt Xue, the mother and daughter I laughed myself first.

Aunt Xue took advantage of the situation and said: "That's why I got up early, and I wanted to ask the old lady for instructions. But I didn't expect that the old lady got up much earlier than us. I'll give you the first place to get up early. , today's banquet, just give me a share."

When Shi Taijun thought about it, it was a good way.Originally, she proposed to have a banquet in the garden because Baoyu was desperate to see Daiyu, and she didn't want all the maids in the next-door mansion to escape her control, that's why she came out today.But she really didn't deliberately prepare any banquet. The food she usually eats is a banquet in other people's homes. Today, she is just a junior, so she uses it as a prevarication. Who would dare to refuse?

However, since the Xue family took the initiative to ask for credit, she was also happy to avoid trouble, so she smiled and said: "My aunt's words are all about this, how can I not allow it? Well, let's have a crab feast today, it's just that Leave the banquet to their young daughters-in-law, and you and Bao girl, go to the garden with us."

Aunt Xue said with a smile: "I was thinking of going for a walk if I had the opportunity. It can be seen that the old lady knows people's hearts, and everything is done to the hearts of people. I can't blame people for respect and love."

When Baoyu saw Baochai, she ran over to show her hospitality, but Baochai refused to pay her much attention because of Shi Taijun and Lin Daiyu.At this time, I just walked up to Yingchun, and the two greeted each other, greeted each other, and chatted hand in hand: "These days, why don't you come to our house? My mother and I are thinking about you. The last day Come on, you are so angry, I heard that you have been ill for a long time, but now you are safe?"

Yingchun thanked her with a smile: "It's been a long time ago. Sister Fei Bao and Aunt Xue have to worry about it. These days, the family is busy preparing for the big brother's wedding, and everyone is on their backs. Everyone is eager to give birth to four hands to help. I don't have time to go and see you."

Baochai said with a smile: "In theory, I'm an outsider, and I don't dare to solicit anything, but if you have needlework to do, you just entrust it to me and keep it for you. It's a good way to please the princess." Opportunity, if it really catches the eyes of the princess, maybe the princess will tell the palace in the future, and she can also enter the palace for draft.For Baochai, anyone who might help her embark on the road to Qingyun is worth cursing.

Yingchun glanced at Baochai in surprise, feeling a little disapproving, her family prepared a dowry for the princess, what's the matter with Xue's family?Even today, You Yuanzi didn't have anything to do with them, but he ran here by himself. It was too courteous, and it was obvious that he had a plan.Immediately, he became vigilant, and said: "Some of the needles and threads are made by people. People like us have no reason to sew a dowry for the bride." After finishing speaking, his eyes were full of surprise and guard. Passing through the door, is this missed?The Xue family is worthy of being an imperial merchant for generations, and their calculations are too shrewd.
