The Legend of the Long Room in the Red Mansion

Baochai then lived in the princess mansion.

Except for Aunt Xue who began to worry about her daughter going to serve others, everyone else, including Yinger who was picked up the next day and Baoqin who was caught between Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue who had a headache, felt very lucky for her.

Wang Xifeng did not change her tough nature, while running between Songling and Gu's family, she did not forget to inquire about the gossip about Grand View Garden.The close servants like Ying'er and Yu Chuan'er are strict-spoken, but there are more servants who are not tight-lipped and like to spread gossip. It didn't take much for Sister Feng to find out the sleeping positions of Baoyu and Baochai that day. Actually, I laughed for a long time, until I heard that Aunt Xue had a complete quarrel with Mrs. Wang because of this, and even Baoqin was out of the Grand View Garden before restraining herself.

Later, seeing that Baochai had entered the princess mansion and never came out again, she couldn't figure out what the Ning family was thinking for a while, so she sent someone to talk to Yingchun.

When Yingchun heard Xiaohong's eloquent report, her face blushed with shame and fright, but she also sympathized with Baochai from the bottom of her heart, so she told Xiaohong: "Go back and tell your grandma that this is not a glorious thing. Restrain the servants, don't pass it on."

Xiaohong smiled and said: "How can our grandma not know this truth? Besides, Miss Bao is also her cousin, how can people gossip about her. These are all rumors from the Grand View Garden. It's really hard to hide it from people. Besides, the old lady sent the mausoleum back, and it's time to ask Miss Qin, and sooner or later she will have to make trouble."

Yingchun said: "We don't care about the other people, just restrain the people in our family. So the errand of sending the mausoleum is almost over? Then when the second sister-in-law comes back, you can ask her when she has time. I have something to ask her."

Xiao Hong smiled flatteringly and said: "Miss, you don't think I'm stupid, you might as well tell me, I'll tell Second Mistress when I get back, so that you don't have to send someone to run errands to spread the word."

Yingchun smiled and said: "It's not that I can't trust you, but I'm also a messenger for others, so there's no reason to trust others. I need to meet the second sister-in-law in person."

Xiaohong said: "Since that's the case, I'll tell the girl again when Second Mistress comes back." Yingchun ordered someone to give her a reward, and Xiaohong accepted it with a symbolic push.

Yingchun went back to report to her princess sister-in-law: "I have made an appointment with the second sister-in-law for my sister-in-law, and I will come over when she comes back. When the time comes, sister-in-law can just ask any questions. My second sister-in-law is a famous 'rogue settled down'. What do you say?" You are not afraid of blushing." It turned out that Yingchun was passing the message to others because Princess Yinghua was about to give birth, and she wanted to find someone to ask about her fertility experience. Among the people Yingchun could find, only Li Wan and Sister Feng had given birth. So he recommended Sister Feng to Princess Yinghua.Nanny Hua also felt that it would be beneficial for her princess to make friends with the second master Lian's wife, so she also tried her best to encourage her.

In a few days, Concubine Zhen's paralysis was over, and everyone was ordered to return home.Sister Feng accompanied Mrs. Wang, and together with Youshi, first sent Shi Taijun back to the Grand View Garden, and then sent Mrs. Xing back to Huguo Gongfu.As soon as the sedan chairs of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law arrived at the second gate, they saw Yingchun leading Daiyu and Xichun waiting there.Mrs. Xing didn't want to reason, she was already very tired because of being scolded by Shi Taijun for the past few days, and she didn't even bother to ask the princess how the baby was doing, so she went straight back to her room to rest.

Sister Feng was dragged into the room by Yingchun and others to sit and have tea. Sister Feng praised each of the girls one by one because of her eloquence, and wanted to tell Xichun about her sister-in-law. : "I should go to the next door to paint." Because she has recently received the permission of Yingchun, she can go to the princess mansion every few days.

Yingchun just wanted to tell Sister Feng about the princess's sister-in-law, and she was happy that Xichun was not here, so she asked Daiyu to lead her there, and only teased her: "You are getting better recently, don't just stay in the room and pretend to be a lady, in this weather Very good, you go out for a stroll, so you don't have to leave the porridge bowl and go to sleep, keep it in your heart."

Daiyu Bingxue is smart, and at the first sight she knew that the aunt and sister-in-law had something small to say, so she immediately pursed her lips and smiled, and glanced at Sister Feng's face. She touched her face and said in a daze, "Dare you?" Is my face dirty?" Daiyu didn't speak, just smiled and dragged Xichun away.

Sister Feng still touched her face, and asked Yingchun to take a look in the mirror. Yingchun pulled down Sister Feng's hand and said, "Second sister-in-law, don't worry, your face is fine. Dai'er is playing with me, so don't pay attention to her. I have something serious to tell you."

Sister Feng was still touching her face, and said, "I heard it a long time ago. Feng'er told me when she went to deliver my clothes, saying that you asked Xiaohong to send a message to find me. No, I delivered it to my door myself." .”

Yingchun smiled and said: "It's a good thing, I want you to go and have a sweet kiss with my sister-in-law."

Before Sister Feng could react, she just said: "Why should I kiss her, she is the second wife..." At this point, she suddenly realized that the sister-in-law Yingchun was referring to was Princess Yinghua, she immediately stood up and said : "Princess looking for me?"

Yingchun pursed her lips and smiled: "Isn't that right, otherwise who do you think I'm talking about?"

Sister Feng hurried to the Yingchun dressing table, lifted the dowry, took out the sip, and sipped it twice in front of the mirror, tidied up her hair, then looked at the big dressing mirror standing in the corner of the room, and said worryingly: "I just got out of that bad luck." How can I dress like this to meet people when I come back from my hometown?" In order to send off the mausoleum, all the imperial orders in the past month have been dressed very plainly, and Sister Feng has to wear a light blue and light blue dress, which is completely different from the red and gold in the past. ornate style.

Yingchun called Mu Xiang and said, "Find two of my new clothes and give them to my second sister-in-law." Although Yingchun is a sister-in-law, she is taller than the petite Sister Feng. Children only wear long ones, but they are not afraid of short ones.

Sister Feng knew that Yingchun's status has risen, and her daily food and clothing are no worse than those of the Princess of the Palace, so she immediately smiled happily and said, "I miss my sister's good clothes. When your second brother gets his salary, I will ask someone to do it." New ones for you."

Si Qi burst out laughing, "When did Second Mistress become so mean? You wore our girl's clothes, and you want Second Master to return it?"

Sister Feng curled her lips and said: "I'm serious and poor. In the past month, the old lady has used me as a cashier's girl. If anyone needs to pay, she will only ask someone to come to me. That's my grandmother, I dare Don’t take it out? Not to mention the money I took with me, I still owe you sister-in-law Zhen 1000 taels.”

Yingchun was taken aback: "Why does the old lady spend so much money?" Sister Feng loves money, no matter where she goes, she will not be safe without money in her hand, so every time the family goes out, it is she who brings the most money. There are silver bills for large denominations, and gold, silver and copper coins for small denominations. They are always ready to give gifts to relatives and children, or to reward servants.Shi Taijun was able to spend Sister Feng until she owed her debts, which shows her extraordinary strength.

Sister Feng said sternly: "I was just about to tell you about this. Earlier your second brother told me that the King of Beijing Jing is against our elder brother now, isn't it?"

Yingchun also got serious, and said with concentration: "I heard it is so."

Sister Feng said: "Then you can tell elder brother to be careful, these days in Xiaoci County, the old lady chattered a lot with the concubine and concubine of Beijing Palace."

Yingchun asked anxiously: "What did you say?" Osmanthus osmanthus held the clothes she found for Sister Feng in her hands, and gathered to listen carefully.

Sister Feng nodded and expressed her intimacy with Osmanthus osmanthus, and asked Ping'er to come up to serve and change clothes, saying: "This time we are going to send the mausoleum, and we rented a family temple of a high-ranking official as a place to rest every day. , it's like our Tieshan Temple, but it's much bigger, and it was built by a bhikkhuni. One day, the West Courtyard was rented by the Beijing Prince's Mansion. Can you tell me whether this is a coincidence or intentional?"

Yingchun frowned and said: "Since the old lady rented the east courtyard first, wouldn't the palace not know the reason why it would just go and rent the west courtyard? But if the old lady had already discussed with the concubines and concubines, she would never dare to preempt Lease the east courtyard, let the palace live in the west courtyard?"

Sister Feng clapped her hands and said: "It's not because of this that I became vigilant. It's just that now, the old lady is also on guard against me, and she doesn't ask me to wait on the sidelines when talking to the concubine, so she didn't find out anything It's just that the concubine and the old lady are still a good person, which makes me feel creepy. Not to mention how long our elder brother and King Jingjing have been at odds, just looking at the current situation of the second room, it is not worth a dignified wife The concubine is coming again to hand in the festival. Do you think this is the truth?"

Mu Xiang spoke quickly, asking endlessly: "Then what did the second grandma find out? Don't let the two families discuss it, and try to trick our uncle."

Sister Feng rolled her eyes and said, "This girl is so impatient, I haven't finished talking yet."

Osmanthus fragrans patted Mu Xiang, drove her away, coaxed Sister Feng with an apologetic smile and said, "Good second grandma, don't be as knowledgeable as her, just tell our girl."

Yingchun also urgently urged Sister Feng: "Good second sister-in-law, dear second sister-in-law, please hurry up, I'm very upset, don't hang on to me."

Seeing that everyone was eagerly waiting for her to speak, Sister Feng felt complacent, and she stopped procrastinating, and said crisply: "It's really hard to ask about this, as you know, the maids at the old lady's place are all She was trained|taught by the old man, and her mouth is tight. But thanks to the girl Yuanyang being left to look after the house this time, with some effort, I can still ask something from the glass and jade. With you Said, this time it was really the Princess Beijing who took the initiative to contact the old lady, although the maids didn't hear what they talked about, but they vaguely knew that it had something to do with the second wife."

Yingchun's heart tightened, remembering that a few days ago, Baochai mentioned to her half-heartedly that her maid, Yinger, had offended Mrs. Wang for something, and she was afraid that she would suffer if she stayed at home, so she begged her to take her to the princess mansion. .Although there is still uncertainty about the connection between the two events, Yingchun instinctively feels that what Baochai did for her elder brother and princess's sister-in-law is probably related to Mrs. Wang.And now, the second sister-in-law told her that Mrs. Wang was also related to Mrs. Wang's finding the old lady.An unknown fear rose from the bottom of Yingchun's heart. What's the secret about Mrs. Wang that makes it worth so many big shots to keep an eye on her?

Sister Feng was still showing off how witty she was, and how she spent so much effort to get her words out of the mouths of Shi Taijun's maid and the deacon of the palace, but Yingchun couldn't listen anymore, she got up in a daze and went out, Xiuju hurriedly supported her, and asked Said: "Where is the girl going?"

Yingchun's eyes were silent, and she murmured: "I'll go to the big brother, you take the second sister-in-law to talk to the princess's sister-in-law."

Mu Xiang winked at Osmanthus osmanthus, stepped forward to support Yingchun's right hand, and said: "Xiuju and I will serve the girl, Si Qi, you and Osmanthus osmanthus will serve Second Grandma."

Sister Feng didn't say that she had a good time, but when she saw that everyone had dispersed, she was a little bored, and said in a dazed way, "Ping'er and Feng'er are enough for me. You are all people who want to do big things now, just find a little girl to lead me the way." Just go to your own business."

Although Si Qi is not as intelligent as Osmanthus osmanthus, she can also read her face. Seeing that Yingchun's face was pale, she knew that something urgent had happened, so she hurriedly wanted to follow her, so she hurriedly opened the window and called an errand boy in the yard. The maid, they brought out from Ronghou's mansion, called Lian Hua'er, asked her to lead the way, and Sister Feng also happened to know her, so there was no second word, and she followed to the princess.

This Yingchun led people all the way through the garden and took the path. When he felt the door of the study, he happened to see Ning Shan's back in court clothes. Yingchun raised his voice and shouted: "Brother, wait a moment."

Ning Shan looked back and saw Yingchun rushing over, sweat dripping on her forehead, she couldn't help asking curiously, "What's the matter? You're in such a hurry."

Yingchun pushed away the hands of the maids, rushed forward and grabbed Ning Shan's sleeves, saying: "Big brother, the old lady discussed things with the concubines and concubines of King Beijing all day long, and spent a lot of money, I'm afraid they will deal with you. "

Ning Shan dragged Yingchun into the study, sat her down, and said, "Tell me in detail."

Yingchun hurriedly repeated Sister Feng's original words, and Ning Shan thought about it secretly, only hearing that Yingchun said that there was Mrs. Wang's matter in the matter they discussed, she smiled and said: "So that's it, I Tan Ma, my subordinate, had already reported that Wang Ziteng had received a job offer from the frontier and was going back to Beijing to report on his duties. I didn’t figure out why for a while, but now I do.”

Yingchun was surprised and said: "Could it be that the second wife is not the one who has something to do with it, but the Wang family?"

Ning Shan praised: "You are much more transparent now, so please remember, don't let Lian'er's family know that she broke up with her aunt, but she is still pointing at the prince."

Yingchun quickly covered her mouth and said: "I will never tell the truth, but wouldn't Mr. Wang send someone to deliver a letter when he went to Beijing? Second sister-in-law will know sooner or later?"

Ning Shan said: "Didn't it mean that she can't read? You just send a message to tell your second brother to be more vigilant, and stop any news coming in from other provinces."

Yingchun said: "Then it's better to simply leave the second sister-in-law at home for a few days, and miss the person sent by the Wang family to deliver the letter."

Ning Shan asked, "How can I stay?"

Yingchun blushed slightly, and said: "Princess's sister-in-law asked me to find my second sister-in-law to come over and talk with her, by the way...by the way, ask...about children."

Ning Shan couldn't regain her spirits for a while, and thought they were talking about sister Qiao, because she was only thinking about Wang Ziteng's problem, so she followed Yingchun's intention and said: "Then you can bring your second brother here, just in time. Father is not feeling well these few days, so I just told him to come over and tell him about his sickness, and let the two of them stay together."

Jia Amnesty's discomfort was purely self-made. He also learned about Wang Ziteng's return to Beijing from Ning Shan early on. The "good strategy" that can't be implemented at all, and the eighteen ways to kill Wang Ziteng just rely on the window and the wind.Because Mrs. Xing was not at home, and Jia She had no concubines and maids by his side, no one could remind him to add a cloak before going to have a shower in time. As a result, he was frozen into a wind evil and lay in bed with tears.
