The Legend of the Long Room in the Red Mansion

Jia She was nestled on the bed, tearing at the wads of handkerchiefs with snot in his nose, let out a long "hmm", and threw out a blockage, allowing the nasal cavity to unblock, took a deep breath, and then let out a muffled breath He asked Jia Lian, "If you don't help your elder brother, what are you doing here?"

Jia Lian held the medicine in his hand, and asked with a frowning face, "Father, take the medicine first, it's been cold for three or four times." When it is cold, serve it hot again, when it is hot, it will be cold again, and when it is cold, it will be hot again. Only a group of people are willing to drink a few sips when they are coaxing, holding and feeding, and they have to be served with a plate of candied nuts.

Jia Amnesty threw the snot handkerchief onto Jia Lian's face, but he didn't have enough strength to throw it up, but it just fell into the medicine bowl Jia Lian was holding. Jia Amnesty immediately found a good reason: "This medicine is unbearable, and it doesn't make you sick. Follow me."

Jia Lian threw the medicine bowl to the servant girl, motioned her to go to the small kitchen to continue cooking, and begged Jia Amnesty with a sigh, "Father, please stop making trouble."

Jia She was aggrieved, panting and pretended to cry: "My son is growing up and his wings are stiff, so he doesn't take dad seriously anymore. I don't want my old man to participate in such a big matter. You don't look down on me. Pack your luggage and take your wife back to Jinling as soon as possible." Jia Lian almost collapsed, returning to Jinling was always a trick for the old lady to threaten the second master of politics, his father didn't learn how to be good, but he was more proficient in throwing and rolling than women. Who the hell got used to this unlucky father?

Jia Lian slammed her ass on the stool, spreading her hands: "Father, tell me, how can you drink that bowl of medicine before my elder brother comes back?"

Jia She was full of energy and sat up straight from the bed, his eyes lit up and said: "I want to go out in person, play in person, do it myself, and beat Prince Teng to death."

Jia Lian shrugged his shoulders in a very bachelor way: "Brother has no objection, I will personally lead your horse to torture Prince Teng."

Jia She's face was pulled, and the rascal said: "You can go now, you can hold Shan'er's thigh and cry, anyway, I have to let him agree to let me go to the front line, if I don't watch Wang Ziteng blow the lamp and wax with my own eyes, I will die with regret."

Jia Lian almost didn't cry: "My daughter, your granddaughter doesn't hug anyone's thigh anymore."

Jia Amnesty looked contemptuous: "You can't even act like a baby, how did you spend your childhood?"

Jia Lian wanted to cry even more: "Are you so embarrassed to say? When I was young, you always took care of me for three days and two months. I wouldn't grow up like this."

Old Jia She blushed slightly, and said falteringly: "Look at your elder brother, no, I didn't raise him, he's more promising. Dad didn't raise you for your own good!"

Jia Lian took it completely: "You keep drinking the medicine. After I'm done drinking, I'll find my elder brother to hug my thigh."

Jia Amnesty also wanted to make a condition: "You go first."

Jia Lian refused to give an inch: "You drink first."

Mrs. Xing, who sat at the table and was ignored by the father and son for almost a whole morning, finally couldn't listen anymore: "Master, let me say something ugly-according to the usual practice, your eldest son is going home with half a stick of incense. Are you sure you want to delay until then, and let your eldest son pinch his chin and drink two more bowls?"

Jia Amnesty shivered, grabbed a new handkerchief casually, filled his nose with snot, and yelled at Mrs. Xing angrily, "Master, I'm so scared that I'm shivering again. I'm seriously ill because of you."

Mrs. Xing curled her lips, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, and without sincerity picked up the handkerchief and pretended to wipe away her tears, saying: "The sickness lies in the master's body, and the pain lies in the body and mind of the concubine. If I can take care of the master's illness, that's all... ...Hey, I only hate my incompetence..."

Jia She and Jia Lian were struck by the thunder and shivered at the same time. Jia Lian shrank her neck and whispered to Jia She, "Since when did the wife become like this?"

Jia She shrank back into the quilt, and muttered: "It's been like this since I went to deliver the spirit of the concubine. Master, I really want to ask Brother Jing to recommend some Taoist priests with powerful magic power to drive away evil spirits."

Jia Lian persuaded: "You'd better drink the medicine, after drinking the wife should go."

Jia Amnesty said reluctantly, "Bring it here." Jia Lian breathed a sigh of relief, and it was finally done.

The next moment, Ning Shan pushed open the door and strode in.

Jia Amnesty snatched the medicine bowl from Jia Lian's hand with lightning speed and gulped it down in one go - taking the opportunity to secretly pour half of it into the quilt tube.Ning Shan was aware of the situation, picked up the wet quilt and threw it on the ground, and ordered the servant girl: "Change the quilt for the old man, and go to bring two bowls of new medicine." Jia She grinned and almost burst into tears.

Madam Xing saw that Ning Shan had returned home, she got up immediately and said: "You father and son discuss important matters, I will not participate, I will go to see the princess."

Ning Shan nodded in gratitude and said: "Miss Hardworking, why not just accompany Yinghua to have lunch together. Today, the younger sisters are not at home, so she will inevitably feel lonely." Sending off Lingyue Yu, traveling long distances, exhausted, lack of energy, chest tightness and Qi deficiency, forced her granddaughter, granddaughter and others to pay her respects.Therefore, early this morning, Yingchun led Xichun, Daiyu took Qiaojieer, and the four sisters, aunts and sisters-in-law led by Fengjie went back to pay their respects.

Mrs. Xing nodded and said: "I'll save it." After speaking, she thoughtfully dismissed all the maids in the room.

Jia She looked at Ning Shan anxiously and asked, "How is Wang Ziteng?"

Ning Shan took the medicine bowl, and asked, "Drink it yourself or should I do it?" Jia She took a look at Jia Lian's schadenfreude before he could put it away. Annoyed, he threw all his strength and managed to let the snot handkerchief land on the ground. Jia Lian's handsome white face.

Jia Lian spat out, his face turned green with disgust.However, he was gratified that Jia She was not in a good position. Seeing Jia She's "resistance", Ning Shan directly grabbed Jia She's chin, forced him to open his mouth, and poured out a bowl of smoking medicine in an instant. After entering, Jia Amnesty jumped up from the bed with a scalding "ow", went straight to the small round table where Mrs. Xing had been sitting all morning, and poured down most of the pot of herbal tea in one go.

When the father and son could finally sit down and discuss Wang Ziteng's problem, the kitchen even brought lunch.Jia She was still lying on the kang and pretended to be weak. Ning Shan sat on the edge of the kang facing Jia She. Jia Lian moved a Jindun to accompany him. Eldest brother helped with the cooking, he sent Rong'er and Qiang'er to our house in turn, but if there are any letters, no matter from central Beijing or from other provinces, all letters will be intercepted, and one letter will be kept so that Brother Feng will not see it."

Ning Shan was holding the bowl, and he never cared about eating or sleeping, and said while eating: "Also beware of her finding out from other sources, after all, there is still a Wang family living in your family, and there is another one next door, it depends on you." I can't help but know where my daughter-in-law has the ability to inquire."

Jia She slurped the soup-like bird's nest porridge, and said wearily, "I shouldn't let her go out today. The father-in-law is still sick. She doesn't say it's good to take care of her. It's really useless to go to the grandma's place." Master, I put it in my eyes, it is very worthwhile to set up a rule education."

The two sons ignored him, and Ning Shan said to Jia Lian: "In addition to preventing your wife from knowing what the Wang family is doing, you also pay attention not to follow other people's ways. Your household department is prone to troubles and has heavy responsibilities. The prince Teng also has a few good friends and gangsters, who may not be able to do big things, but they have a hand in cheating people."

Jia Lian gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, don't worry about me. Brother Feng also grew up under Wang Ziteng's knees. As long as he doesn't know that our family has completely turned against him, he won't send someone to deal with me. Brother Feng said it, the old lady You must be careful about colluding with Princess Beijing."

Ning Shan said disapprovingly, "That old lady in your family is quite smart, but she's just a little clever, and she just goes around the back house. The ideas she can come up with are women's regular tricks. That's all, as long as your daughter-in-law doesn't get fooled, I have no loopholes here." Jia Lian blushed, and it was his daughter-in-law who was the most unsteady in the whole family, and she even made a fool of herself earlier, and almost fell in with Mrs. Wang go.

As soon as Jia She heard it, he yelled: "Then I have to get that girl away, and I don't have to leave it to cause trouble for you."

Jia Lian hastily stopped her and said, "It's even more chaotic if she goes home. It's better to keep it under my nose. If she messes up again, my brother will know in time."

Ning Shan said "Yes" and said, "Let Mrs. Lin watch her." Several girls in the family, including Xue Cairen from the princess mansion next door, are not as smart as Mrs. Lin, and they are not as smart as her family background. Appropriately, she was brought up by Lin Ruhai pretending to be a man. Some girls next to him don't understand some upward things, but she can understand a general idea.To be honest, he knows more than Jia She.

Jia Lian asked Ying in a hurry and said, "When Sister Lin comes back, I'll ask her to look at my worry-free daughter-in-law." Just now his daughter, Qiao, is being raised by Lin Daiyu, and there is a legitimate reason to talk to her. No, Jia Lian really doesn't have much contact with little girls.On the issue of the relationship between men and women, he is much more restrained than his phoenix egg cousin Jia Baoyu.It's a pity that Jia Baoyu is innocent when he mixes with girls, but if it were him, he would be lustful again, and there is no reason to justify it.

Jia Amnesty made a fuss for a while and wanted to go to cheat Prince Teng himself, but Ning Shan only said to let him recover from his illness before thinking about it. Jia Amnesty had no choice but to take pleasure in torturing Jia Lian.

In the second half of the afternoon, all the girls who went to the Grand View Garden to say hello came back, and came to say hello to Jia Amnesty.Jia Lian called Sister Feng away, saying that she had something to ask her, and took her daughter Qiao away by the way.Seeing this, Jia Amnesty also sent Xichun away, insisting that she didn't look well today, and she might stay in his presence to get sick.Xichun's face became inexplicable, if it is said that she has a bad complexion, who can compare to Sister Lin who collapses at the first sight of the wind?But she had to listen to Jia Amnesty's words, so she left with suspicion.

Daiyu and Yingchun looked at each other for a while, and Yingchun still asked, "Does daddy want to talk to me or sister?" Let's go one first, so that he can find some reasons that can't stand scrutiny.

Jia She continued to runny nose, humming and chirping: "Let's listen together, don't ask the reason, don't care about the process, anyway, you two show me Lian Er's daughter-in-law, first of all, don't let her know all the news from the Wang family. ;Secondly, she is not allowed to contact anyone in the Wang family, even if she is married. Watch it, you two will make a great contribution; watch it run away, sir, I will deal with it according to the military law, and I will never treat you leniently." Jia Amnesty has recently been keen on studying the formation of troops. , It's as if you can bring thousands of troops with you when you go to Wang Ziteng.

Yingchun and Daiyu looked at each other for a while, Yingchun thought to herself: It really has something to do with the Wang family.Daiyu thought to herself: Not only did she call Sister Ying, but I also started it, so it's not a family matter.Seeing that the little girls didn't cooperate with him in acting, Jia She was very unhappy, and increased the sound of snot, which made Ershu's whole body numb, and her scalp was about to explode. She didn't dare to ask the reason in detail, and they got up together, They nodded together.Satisfied, Jia She took a deep breath and planned to put on a show again and give a few words of admonition, but unexpectedly he made too much effort, and a snot bubble floated out gorgeously.Daiyu, who is a bit of a cleanliness freak, almost turned her head and ran away, even Yingchun couldn't stand this kind of visual stimulation, she turned her head hastily, and stopped looking at her father's smug face.

Jia She, who made a fool of himself, drove the two little girls away in shame and annoyance, and huddled under the quilt to play with himself by losing his temper.Daiyu then said to Yingchun, "Let's go and see the sister-in-laws?" Usually, everyone has taken a nap at this time, and it's time to go to Princess Yinghua's room to chat and laugh with her to relieve boredom.Now there is an extra Sister Feng, who is articulate and good-looking, and can always make everyone happy.

Yingchun said: "The second elder brother just called the second sister-in-law out to talk. I'm afraid they haven't left yet. Let's go later. You can analyze it for me. Dad suddenly said today that we should cut off the second sister-in-law's contact with the Wang family. , why exactly?"

Daiyu bit her red lips lightly, and said in thought: "Although I can't be sure, I can roughly guess that it must be related to what Sister Bao did some time ago." Yingchun and Daiyu had speculated that Baochai was helping Ningshan. And I asked Baochai, and got a vague acknowledgment.The two knew that the matter was important, so they didn't ask for details, they just helped Baochai with various conveniences, hoping that she could help her a lot.

Yingchun also nodded and said: "I guess it's the same, it has something to do with the second wife, and no matter what the second wife does, it must be the Wang family behind it, and the second wife is the one who participated in it and hopes to benefit. So now the old lady and Bei Jing Wang Taifei conspired, and Wang Ziteng came to Beijing from other provinces to send letters to the second wife, aunt Xue and second sister-in-law from the Wang family, probably for the same thing."

Daiyu said slowly: "Prince Beijing Jing wants to deal with Big Brother Ning, it can be regarded as a political disagreement, but can the old lady do it? Although it doesn't matter in name, but she is also a grandson after all, how can she be so cruel? "Daiyu has a long love, and always remembers the love and warmth that Shi Taijun gave her in the few years when she first came to Beijing. Although the quality gradually changed later, he really loved her.Therefore, she is not willing to believe that Shi Taijun is not the kind, kind, wise and intelligent old man in her memory.

Yingchun is different. Although she is said to have grown up under Shi Taijun's knees, she has never been alone with Shi Taijun, and Shi Taijun has never favored her. On the contrary, because she was born in a long family, her parents did not like the old lady. , followed by a lot of failures, so when talking about Shi Taijun, I have a lot less scruples: "The old lady is eccentric. As long as the second room can rise and Baoyu can enjoy happiness, she doesn't care about others. To be honest, Sister Yuanchun She was the one who raised her alone, but what happened? Didn't she send her to that shady place for the sake of the second wife's future?" Yingchun and Daiyu are both staunch followers of the palace, and there is never any compliment when talking about the palace. word.

Daiyu sighed, and said: "People always change, maybe the old lady...will change back."

Yingchun didn't want to argue about this issue, so she pulled Daiyu and said, "Let's not talk about it, let's go see the sisters-in-law. You have a good brain, help me think about it, how can I make the second sister-in-law not worry about her family and live here with peace of mind until the end of the day?" Brother, they finished cooking for Wang Ziteng?"

Daiyu said softly: "Speaking of this matter, don't we have to hide it from Sister Bao? She is also Wang Ziteng's niece."

Yingchun said: "Of course I thought of this too, Yinger sent her there too, let their master and servant stay in the princess' mansion for a while. I don't want to go to the mansion, and Xi'er will stop there first. Just ask her to go and paint. Sister Bao can't know the news outside without us, so why hide it?" The two gradually walked to the depths of the garden as they talked, and the flowers were layered on top of each other. Dao's slender figure concealed a shadow.

Besides Ning Shan, after dismissing Jia Amnesty, she took Jia Lian to the study and handed over some of her influence to Jia Lian.The soldiers he transferred from the northern and coastal areas had already arrived in the suburbs of Beijing, scattered and lurked.Several young generals who led the team were arranged by him on the outskirts of Grandma Liu's village, and it was agreed that any news would be delivered through Grandma Liu.The old lady was very happy to accept this errand, as if she was a female general, her eyes widened and she looked around all day long, eagerly looking forward to the opportunity to be useful.

Ning Shan divided her fifty soldiers into three groups, and gave Jia Lian ten of them to take good care of her family of three. The other 20 people have been tracking Wang Ziteng's movements outside, and the outside of the Beijing Palace is also a key area of ​​concern.Although he didn't find out what was going on with the old lady of Jia's family, he accidentally discovered that someone from the emperor came in and out there.I don't know why the emperor is in contact with the king of Beijing again. The two had no intersection before, and they almost stood on opposite sides.Ning Shan originally thought that Mrs. Jia would tell Princess Beijing about the fact that the Jia Wang family has medicine that can kill people without anyone noticing. .But now it seems that the king of Beijing Jing has defected to the emperor, don't think about getting medicine to kill the emperor.

Although the two emperors are generally unpopular, if one has to die, it would be more satisfying for the emperor to die first.As far as this is concerned, Ning Shan can't let King Bei Jing take the lead.Coincidentally, the drug appraisal from Zheng’s old imperial doctor came back. Among the four, one was similar to rouge ointment, which was used by noble ladies to beautify their skin. Almost every family has its own formula. Although they are different, they are generally Still consistent, and most importantly, this thing is fairly harmless and can be ignored;

The other thing like nectar powder contains aphrodisiac ingredients. The old imperial doctor Zheng wrote a long article about it, mocking it, and asked Ning Shan to help inquire about it. Mrs. Wang was born with jade in her mouth Did Jia Zheng's son get pregnant after taking the medicine? He suspected that the medicine would have an unusual effect on the fetus.Ning Shan's approach to this is to have someone send the letter to Jia She, so that he can enjoy it;

The last two remaining are not owned by Zhongtu. The old imperial doctor Zheng read a lot of medical books, and only vaguely judged that one of them came from overseas Zhenzhen country, but its use and efficacy are unknown;

As for the little black ball that looked like medicine to Baochai, he didn't know what it was at all, and he wasn't even sure if it was a medicinal material.For this reason, the old imperial doctor Zheng scratched his head for a long time and gave a very "disregarding human life" suggestion, that is-find two people who don't like it and try to prescribe it.

Ning Shan humbly listened to the advice, took the medicine box and went to Jia She's room, bypassed the snot handkerchief all over the place, and picked Jia She, who had been thinking about Mrs. Wang and Jia Zheng's affairs to the point of laughing, out of the quilt tube. Come out, and said calmly: "The time for revenge has come, you choose one of these two medicines and feed it to Wang Ziteng."
