The Legend of the Long Room in the Red Mansion

Nanny Hua is a very loyal and good person, but she tends to worry too much.

Perhaps it was because of decades of cruel court strife that made her suspicious. In short, from the moment she entered the door with Princess Yinghua, she has been messing around with some useless thoughts.

Her first worry was Miss Lin Daiyu.From the first time I met her, I secretly worried that this delicate and beautiful girl would become the love rival of my princess when she grows up.

Her second worry was that just after the princess passed the door, the uncle would pick up the eldest lady and accept her orders for all the big and small affairs of the prime minister and the two houses. For a normal new daughter-in-law, this is undoubtedly a slap in the face.

And the third worry of Huamao is that the uncle will let Miss Lin and the eldest lady be the directors of the house together. When the two little girls appeared in front of the princess together, Huamao was so anxious that she almost wanted to grab the princess and teach her everything. The secret book to monopolize the mind of the husband.You must know that it was not only because of her outstanding natal family and reliable son that the former queen was able to secure her position for more than 20 years, but also because of her skill and scheming.

However, I don't know if Madam Hua has learned all the skills of the former queen. The princess's disapproval alone is enough to give her a headache.Fortunately, that Miss Lin is very smart, and she knows how to read words and expressions. She takes the initiative to avoid suspicion, and tries not to set foot in sensitive areas on weekdays. Especially when the uncle is at home, Miss Lin is especially cautious. Yong, never meet the uncle alone, rigorous and thoughtful in all aspects, and made clear his position.

The eldest lady, Yingchun, is also very respectful and considerate to the princess. Although she was appointed a housekeeper by the uncle, she does not ignore the existence of the princess. She reports on the relationship between the two mansions every day, and takes good care of the people in the two mansions. Waiting for a life, while carefully trying to teach the princess how to be a director of the family, there is no meaning of hegemony at all.

While Mama Hua was relieved, she couldn't help secretly praising: These two little girls are indeed rare and beautiful, and they are lovable. No wonder such a cold-hearted person like my uncle treats them differently.

Nanny Hua, who had put down her guard, was also very winking. She saw that everyone in the house respected the princess, but they were not overly cautious, and no one from top to bottom refused to guard against the princess. Also quickly changed the original plan.

Since she believed in Yingchun, Madam Hua was not in a hurry to teach the princess the necessary skills such as housekeeper and director, and Ningshan's clean backyard also prevented Madam Hua from teaching the princess how to guard against concubines. , the most urgent task at hand is to firmly occupy the old man's favor and give birth to a young man as soon as possible - the old man Jia She has already hinted three times a day according to the meal time. One day, the old man will make it clear that the insurance is not complete.

When the time comes, it won't be her princess who won't step down, although Nanny Hua is also muttering to herself: I don't know if my princess knows when to show shyness properly?

Although Princess Yinghua is ignorant of many women's scheming methods, she has the virtue of being more obedient and obedient than other women—even though she only listens to Ning Shan and Mother Hua.

Therefore, Princess Yinghua readily agreed to Nanny Hua's private teaching that she should not be in a hurry to fight for power, and that a husband should guarantee the safety of a child.And when Yingchun tried her best to refuse and take care of the Princess Mansion, she said bluntly: "Your brother and my mother both want me to have a baby as soon as possible, so I don't have time to learn how to be a housekeeper from you."

Yingchun, Mother Yue, and Mother Hua blushed at the same time, but the first two were shy, and the latter was embarrassing—the princess was too direct, too unrestrained, and too outspoken.

Compared to Yingchun who was so ashamed that she turned her head and ran away, Mother Yue was still able to hold on to her smiling face and complied with the etiquette, apologizing for Yingchun: "Old sister, our girl is young and thin-skinned, she definitely didn't mean to be rude to the princess. "

Nanny Hua was also ashamed by her own princess's directness, and said awkwardly: "Sister, you are being too polite, it turned out that our princess was rude."

When Princess Yinghua heard this, she suddenly interjected, "Call me Grandma." The words were full of satisfaction and pride for this identity.

Now even Nanny Hua was embarrassed, and hastily patted the princess on the shoulder to signal her to shut up, and the princess took the teacup politely.Originally, I planned to invite my sister-in-law to taste the so-called imperial tea, but I don't know why my sister-in-law ran so fast.

The outspoken Princess Yinghua's grandma choked Yuemao again. Although she was hinted by the uncle early in the morning, she knew that this princess was simple, straightforward and unsophisticated. It's just that she has been in the palace for many years and has long been used to the deep house compound. The women here should be intriguing, they have already forgotten what a naive and innocent woman is like.

It is precisely because of this that she has been worried that if the princess does not speak out, she will dislike her girl's monopoly in her heart, so she has always indicated that Yingchun should hand over the housekeeping power as soon as possible, or at least resign from the important task of taking over the princess's mansion.It's a pity, after tossing the girl in vain for a long time, I finally know the true temperament of this princess grandma.

Yue Yue, who had seen it through, couldn't help but smiled and took Hua's hand, clapped it with relief, and said with something in her words: "The big grandma reminded that the old sister should also change her words in a hurry. Now we alone Living under the eaves is also a fate cultivated in the previous life. My sister also comes to sit with me when she is free. My sister also has some medical diet lists for the hostesses in the palace to take care of their bodies. I copied it and sent it to my sister some other day. Grandma is taking care of it, so we can see the little master as soon as possible."

Grandma Hua nodded her head again and again, and before she could reply, she listened to Grandma Yue's vision: "If Grandma gives birth to a young master, she will be as good at both civil and military skills as the grand master; if she is a young lady, she will also be able to Share the inner house for our girl earlier, and let me take advantage of it." This is like telling Nanny Hua that her daughter undoubtedly controls the inner house and can hand it in at any time, and she will never love power.

Nanny Hua was regretting that she didn't follow the princess out of the palace because of the villain's suspicions. At this time, she couldn't help laughing bitterly after hearing what Madam Yue said, and said, "I don't hide it from my sister. I used to be a bit petty." Thoughts, beware of the eldest lady. However, I am not afraid of my sister's jokes. I really have no great skills, and I have not taught my princess well. Now that the eldest lady is helping me, I can only be grateful, and I will do more in the future I’m sorry to trouble you, miss and sister. I’ll just take good care of our princess grandma and give birth to a boy and a half girl earlier so as to continue the uncle’s bloodline. As for the rest, I have to leave it to my sister. Please don’t bear any grudges Grandma, everything is due to my old lady's narrow-mindedness, you can see how big grandma is, even if you want to be a little cautious, you can't hide it from others." These words are meant to reassure Yue Momo, which shows that the princess He will not have any objections to Yingchun, let alone embarrass her or make her an enemy.

The two nuns who are accustomed to euphemistic expressions looked at each other and smiled, both expressing their relief that the other party was from my generation. Princess Yinghua on the side was sipping the Jingting Luxue in the cup expressionlessly, and she couldn't understand everything. Turn a blind eye to the conversations, not only do not participate in it, even the most basic curiosity is not there.

After getting close enough with Nanny Hua, and the unified front, Nanny Yue went back to report to Yingchunhui contentedly: "Girl, don't worry, the princess will never shy away from you. In the future, you can let go of your hands and feet as much as you want. The nanny taught you the ability to take care of the two mansions neatly, just beautifully, so that others can see the girl's skills."

Mother Yue never let Yingchun hide her clumsiness, instead she deliberately let her show off her skills for the sake of her future marriage. After all, no matter how powerful her natal family is, the real life depends on the scheming of the girl's family.

In Yue Momo's eyes, the girl she has taken care of for a few years is naturally very good, but she always suffers from her status as a concubine, and her father's reputation is not very good. Although she is very close to the uncle, the uncle is already married. In the future, he will always spend more time on his wife and children, and it is not yet known how much time he will be able to take care of the girl.

Therefore, the higher the girl's own advantages, the better.The sooner you become proficient in the methods that can best demonstrate the new daughter-in-law's ability and character, such as being a director, the better.In the future, when you go out to socialize, you will be able to appear calm and outstanding compared to girls of the same age, which will also attract the favor of those noble ladies and give the girl more chips.

Bisheng Yingchun is indifferent to fame and wealth by nature, and doesn't care about power, but it makes Yuemao very happy for a long time: "Good mama, you know my ability best, where is the material? I don't have to do it for you, and make me angry. If others don't gossip, they will betray the trust of the princess and sister-in-law in vain."

Momo Yue curled her lips, stepped forward with a handkerchief, and motioned for the little maid to pour two cups of tea, one for Yingchun, and one for herself to moisten her throat. Chatting with Nanny Hua is certainly comfortable, but it's also quite exhausting, and it's been a long time since It took so much to talk about it in a roundabout way, and I didn't get used to it for a while.

After slowly drinking half a cup of tea, Mother Yue put down the cup and analyzed to Yingchun: "I have also taught the girl about life for a year or two, how can I not understand your thoughts? The most cautious and unloving The nature of fighting for power and profit, but now it is not for you to fight for it yourself, the uncle and the princess trust you and entrust it to you, so there is nothing to avoid, you should come up with means and handle everything properly , so that the uncle and the princess can rest assured, right?"

Yingchun propped her chin, turned the lid of the teacup away once in a while, and asked inexplicably: "Usually, I watched Lian's second sister-in-law prevent the wife from meddling in the official family, and I could see that the second wife and the old lady were fighting openly and covertly. It's the nanny who often warns me about the importance of being in charge of the inner house. I just think that everyone in the world is normal, but I don't think that the princess's sister-in-law really doesn't care about it, and I really don't understand."

Mother Yue held Yingchun in her arms, stroked the top of her hair, smoothed her loose temples, and said slowly: "The methods that Momo taught you are common methods in the backyard of the palace. It is not applicable everywhere. For example, there is no need for those small calculations in our house. The girl is a legitimate and righteous lady in charge, and the servants are also obedient and loyal, so there is no need to worry about other things, except to prevent some princesses from the palace. Those who came out of the jars who didn't know who had inserted them, just use the most upright means to straighten things out. This is really the easiest thing to do."

Yingchun nodded, smiled slightly and said: "I know, in this family, as long as the eldest brother and princess sister-in-law are respected, the master and wife don't care about things, it's really the simplest."

Yue Momo smiled and said: "So, just remember what Momo taught you. When you get out of the door in the future and the situation changes, Momo will naturally mention you again."

Yingchun's pretty face blushed, she turned her head and rubbed her head into Yuemao's arms, and said in disbelief, "What are you talking about? Who wants to get out, and I have to help the princess's sister-in-law with housekeeping. Only then did she say let me Just let go and do what you want, and immediately talk about other things?"

Mother Yue held Yingchun in her arms, shook her, and said with a soft smile: "Okay, I will stop talking."

Yingchun saw Yuemama coddling her like a child, she couldn't help but pouted, and got up from her arms, feeling ashamed and wanting to laugh, and finally grabbed a few ledgers at random, and said with an excuse: "I'm going to report to big brother. This month's accounts are finished, and by the way, ask someone to see how the repair of the corner gate connecting the two mansions is going? Mammy, go back to your room and rest." After finishing speaking, she walked out quickly.

After spending two or three laps in the garden, feeling that the blush on her face had faded away, Yingchun took her maid and walked slowly towards the meeting hall at home.This is the second most important place besides Ning Shan's study, and it is often the place where I come to discuss government affairs with my second brother Jia Lian.However, in order to show that he also cares about the government, Jia Amnesty ran here whenever he had something to do, and dragged Ning Shan to chat with him.But Jia Amnesty didn't know too much about it, sometimes Ning Shan didn't want to explain it to him, so she asked Yingchun to report the matter.

After entering the courtyard and walking down the corridor, he heard Jia She's loud objection coming through the Hunan embroidery door curtain: "I don't agree, and I don't agree with anything."

Yingchun paused, inexplicably feeling her heart tighten.Then he gently waved his hand to signal the servant girl not to greet her, and did not lift the curtain to enter the room, but tiptoed to the door and eavesdropped on the conversation in the room, and it turned out to be another dispute about whether to go to southern Xinjiang.Hearing that Yingchun only hated King Dongping so much, what would she do to make her useless?It's fine if you can't win the northern border, but now you can't even settle the southern border in your old territory, and you have to implicate your big brother and be named by the emperor, wanting him to go to war.

Ning Shan's voice sounded unhurriedly: "It doesn't matter whether you agree or not, unless your words are more useful than the imperial decree." Leaving aside the emperor, the Supreme Emperor is not willing to suffer. The banditry force was changed to Princess Yinghua's marriage, which was undoubtedly a loss-making deal for the Supreme Emperor.In the future, he will definitely make another trip to send troops, no matter where he goes, he will take a trip so that he can wrest some military power from the hands of the emperor.

What the Supreme Emperor is thinking of now is to hold the soldier talisman in the emperor's hand into his own.Ning Shan sometimes couldn't help thinking, if she really helped the Supreme Emperor to take away the emperor's military power, would the Supreme Emperor abolish the current one and replace him with a less shameful enthronement?

If so, it would be a good thing.But Ning Shan is not sure about the virtues of the other princes and princes, because of the suspicion of the emperor and the defense of the emperor, the other princes and princes have not been able to grasp the real power so far, what will happen to those who have not actually participated in politics once they take power, No one can tell.If the replacement is not as good as the current one, it's better to make less trouble.

Ning Shan was still thinking about it, and then she heard Jia She's dissatisfied moaning: "Don't fool me, I know you never stop drawing." After listening to Ning Shan and Jia Lian's discussion for so many days, she was very dull. For example, Jia Amnesty also saw that Ning Shan had no respect for the imperial power.

In addition, after being qualified to go to court, you can see the filth between the two emperors, and your eldest son's mighty military, powerful, and four of the six are his accomplices, or he is simply in power. .Jia Amnesty has already understood that his eldest son has the confidence to disrespect the person on the dragon chair more and more.

But I don't know if it's because of Princess Yinghua's face, Ning Shan will occasionally do things according to the emperor's wishes.Jia Amnesty couldn't figure out whether it was because the Supreme Emperor's dragon power was still there, or if he went out to show a little respect to his father-in-law, so it was not easy to bring the Supreme Emperor into the conversation for a while.

Ning Shan chuckled, he had already heard the heavy breathing at the door, he would come here at this time, there would be no one else except Yingchun.Thinking that Yingchun cared about the inside story, she unconsciously vented her breath.Because he wanted to reassure her, he also raised his voice a little bit: "Of course you can listen to what the emperor says, but once it is written in the imperial decree, it must be obeyed." Ignore the authority of the imperial decree, so it is still necessary to pretend to respect the two emperors.

What's more, he had originally intended to cooperate with the military power in the Southwest. Seeing King Dongping's frequent tricks after the defeat in Northern Xinjiang, he became more and more angry.Now is a good opportunity to go there and seize the military power in the southwest.

Jia Amnesty couldn't think so far, he just looked at the situation in front of him, and complained in a long voice: "Why is the Supreme Emperor willing to let the Emperor issue an imperial decree?" I saw that in addition to the cinnabar seal of the jade seal, there was also the private seal of the Supreme Emperor on the imperial decree, otherwise it would not have been issued at all.
