The Legend of the Long Room in the Red Mansion

Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing looked dumbfounded at the couple who were kneeling in front of them, weeping uncontrollably. They looked at each other, with the words written all over their faces: Why are you singing a big show before the Chinese New Year?

However, his posture is so full that it is not easy to ignore it, so Jia Amnesty waved his hands vaguely, motioning for the palace servants to step forward to help the two parents, and said in an annoyed way: "Crying and crying in the New Year is even more unlucky. What? 'Give me one more chance'? If you want to change, you can change it. If you don't want to change it, you can continue to die. I don't care about you. By the way, where did you take my granddaughter?" Jia Amnesty was fucked by a stupid son and his wife. Feeling dizzy, I instinctively chose to avoid it.

Sister Feng hurriedly said: "My little girl doesn't know etiquette, and she is afraid that she will offend the nobles when she enters the palace, so she asked Ping'er to wait outside."

Yingchun stood up with a "chuckle" and said, "It's so cold, where can I put the child outside, I'll take it to Yuqing Palace first." After saying that, she hurriedly bowed, and hurriedly left, this scene is not for her to watch No matter what the second brother and his wife's plans are today, and how father and wife are going to deal with it, she doesn't want to see them in a mess - is it wrong for her to be remembered later? !

Daiyu wanted to leave a long time ago, but since there was no one to take the lead, she didn't dare to provoke trouble rashly. Now that Yingchun had run away, she immediately followed, picked up the little princess and found a random reason: "Let their cousins ​​also run away. Fragrant kisses, fragrant kisses." Xichun didn't look for an excuse, just followed her up.So, in a blink of an eye, two more ran away.

Mrs. Xing fidgeted: "Master, no, the Supreme Emperor, or..."

Jia Amnesty yelled: "Qiu Shi'an, you don't have a good eye, you don't show your wife a table or serve tea!" You all left, Master Liu faced this bewitched couple alone, what a beautiful idea!Jia Amnesty resolutely adhered to the virtue of "we should bear all the hardships together", and he firmly grabbed Mrs. Xing's sleeves, which was called inseparable.

Mrs. Xing was full of anger, but she didn't dare to vent it to Jia Amnesty. Fortunately, she was in the harem, listening to all directions, and already knew that Sister Feng was short of breath and dared not be arrogant anymore, so she immediately found a punching bag: "I don't know how to be a daughter-in-law. Good husband, being a mother can't teach your daughter well, and sister Qiao is quite a few years old, if you teach me a little seriously, you won't be so old that you don't understand etiquette?"

Sister Feng immediately hit the snake with the stick: "My daughter-in-law doesn't understand poetry and books, and has little knowledge. I beg my wife to take pity on me and teach my daughter on behalf of my daughter-in-law." She only needs to put more weight in Xie's eyes, otherwise his status will not be guaranteed in the long run.

Mrs. Xing was dumbfounded. Is this because of stickiness?Her own daughter—referring to Yingchun—has never cared about her. How can there be that daughter who cares about Wang Xifeng?What's more, if you manage well, it may not be meritorious. If you don't teach well, then won't you eat her?

Jia Lian also had the same idea, thinking that what he did in the past was really bad, so it's no wonder the master doesn't want to see him.However, now that he is outside the palace, he wants to change his ways, but it is beyond his reach. Why not keep his daughter, Qiao, by the master's side. There is no grandfather who does not love his granddaughter. When his daughter pleases her grandfather, it will be good for him to honor his father again. A reason.So Sister Feng just finished speaking, and Jia Lian immediately answered: "Sister Feng said exactly what my son thought. After this year, my son will go out to Beijing to negotiate with the Ministry of Man. Sister Qiao is so lonely at home alone." , it’s better to let her accompany the little cousin and the little cousin and have fun together.”

Jia She thought, Jia Lian has left Beijing, and it is really not a good idea to let the girl of the Wang family take care of his granddaughter alone. It is not bad to keep it by your side and play with it by yourself. Even if he is too busy, there is still the Xing family. , and agreed: "That's how it is, you remember, Shan'er is willing to use you this time, and she is also under great pressure from Nuo. If it weren't for the love of your mother and compatriots, you would treat this job as worthwhile." What is your role? There are many capable people in the court, so how can you show yourself? If you don’t do well, you don’t have to come back.”

Jia Lian promised again and again: "My son will definitely use all his strength and will never hold back. If this job can't be done well, needless to say, my son will have no face to come back."

Jia Amnesty calmed down a little, and felt that he was quite accomplished as an old man, so he stopped reprimanding Jia Lian: "Okay, you two also go to meet your royal brother and sister-in-law, and this will be in the palace. Permanent residence, you should ask someone to ask you what you should pay attention to everywhere, and if you make a taboo, don't say I won't protect you."

Jia Lian and Sister Feng kowtowed again, and then went out backwards.Qiu Shi'an personally delivered it outside the palace, accepted the purse from Sister Feng, and said with a smile: "The emperor is probably in the Qianqing Palace at the moment, and it will be the Chinese New Year seal. Your majesty is diligent and will definitely finish all the papers. Your lord." Do you want to greet the concubine separately, or wait a moment, the emperor will definitely go to the empress's place for lunch at noon, and it will be cheaper to go to greet the concubine together at that time."

Now Wang Xifeng saw her husband's family were all terrified, she pulled Jia Lian by the sleeve and begged, "Master, wait a moment, let's go say hello together." , such an attitude is naturally indescribable, and I was half insane immediately, no matter what Sister Feng said, I agreed to it.

Seeing this, Qiu Shi'an called a little eunuch to lead the way: "Send the prince and concubine to the Yihexuan." After speaking, he explained to Jia Lian: "This is a palace in the middle road of the back area of ​​Ningshou Palace in the northeast corner. The Shouting Hall has Jingqi Pavilion in the north, and there is a corridor connecting the hall and the pavilion, forming a whole. It was specially arranged by the eldest princess for the prince and his wife, and I invite you two to stay here temporarily." Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng heard it. Said that it was very close to Ningshou Palace, and was immediately grateful for Yingchun's arrangement - it was clear that it was to help them please Jia She.

In fact, Yingchun chose this place for them purely because the name of the palace has neither the word "Gong" nor the word "Dian". After all, Jia Lian is the emperor's younger brother, and now he is a foreign minister who has a family and a career. Living in a "palace" doesn't sound so nice.What's more, she doesn't know if the Taiping Palace can be repaired before Jia Lian leaves Beijing. If it is not completed by then, I am afraid that Lian's second sister-in-law will stay in the palace for a longer period of time, and it will be even worse for the younger sister-in-law to live in the "so-and-so palace" up.

Not long after Jia Lian and his wife moved in, they sealed their pens upwards, and each household began to prepare for the New Year's worship.As the founding emperor of the country, Ning Shan had nothing to offer sacrifices to, so she had to order the Prime Minister of the Clan's Mansion to clean up the Taimiao that enshrines Ning Laohou, his wife and his birth mother Ning's tablet, and set up a separate altar in the Compassion Ning Palace, and had someone clean it. Pack up the donors in preparation for the images of the remains.Usually at this time, Sister Feng is the first to be busy, but now that she is in the palace, she dare not show her skills, so she obediently follows Mrs. Xing, and is only responsible for arranging the etiquettes bestowed on the government orders.

As the chief steward of the palace, Yingchun was busy all day long, and she pushed all small matters to others.Daiyu took the booklet to calculate the expenses of the middle-aged ceremony in the palace. Although Jia Amnesty was not very talented, the lower script with hairpin flowers learned from his grandmother was excellent. Yingchun stuffed a large stack of red paper and asked him to write "Fu" and "Fu" in turn. The four characters "Lu", "Shou" and "Xi" are intended to be bestowed on the wives of senior and respected court officials.

This was originally one of the empress' jobs, but Yinghua hurt her body after dystocia, so she can't sit for a long time, so naturally she can't write these things by hand; Yingchun feels that her handwriting is not good enough, so she is ashamed to write for her; He refused to get involved in suspicious matters at all; in the end he pushed back and forth, but somehow Jia She found out, and immediately patted his chest and said proudly: "Master, that's one of my best housekeeping skills! "

Ning Shan was hesitant at first, fearing that Jia Amnesty would mess up her writing, but when she wrote it down, she was more beautiful than a boudoir, so this job became the rule of the Supreme Emperor.

Except for the "Fu" written by Ning Shan, which was pasted everywhere in the palace, only the three masters, three masters and Wu Guogong, Mr. Li got it, and no one else got it.The three sisters of the Li family left the palace one day before the New Year's Eve, and returned home to accompany Mr. Li.Jia She lamented for a long time, and the candidate for his daughter-in-law just flew away, but facing the lifeless Jia Lian and the upright Ning Shan, he didn't dare to say this out loud.

One day, Sister Feng was serving Mrs. Xing for lunch, when she suddenly heard a report from outside: "Mrs. Hui, your natal sister has handed over a booklet to say hello."

Mrs. Xing wiped her mouth, and asked doubtfully, "Xiuyan? She's not at home to serve her parents at this time, what can I do for you?"

Sister Feng said courteously: "If Madam can trust you, why don't you let me go out and have a look?"

The little eunuch hurriedly said: "Miss Xing only sent someone to send an invitation letter, but she didn't come in person. She left a message, saying that she was afraid that my wife would have too many things and didn't dare to disturb her." He took out a big purse from his pocket. The bag of the style comes, and it is presented with both hands.There is no one in Xing Xiuyan's family, but it is because of Mrs. Xing's face that she has become a new noble family. However, she is not qualified to enter the palace to pay her respects. Occasionally, if she is filial, she just does some needlework and a little pen and ink and asks someone to pass it in. .Because Mrs. Xing has a special status in the palace, the items given to her have always been checked most leniently.

Sister Feng quickly took it, opened the bag, and took out the letter for Mrs. Xing to read.Mrs. Xing glanced at Sister Feng's hand and smiled: "I shouldn't give this to me, you can show it to Lian'er."

Sister Feng was very curious, so she looked at it with her hands. Although the Wang family's goddaughter took "no talent is virtue" as the basis, but Sister Feng has been in charge of the family for so many years, and she also knows a lot of commonly used characters. Jia Zhen's writing has no literary talent at all, and the narration is straightforward and easy to understand.

It turned out that Jia Zhen was cleaning up the ancestors at home, lamenting that she had lost her post, and even lost the spring festival rewards used to support the appearance in previous years. Depressed, she wrote a letter to Jia Lian, asking him to give him some palace utensils , anyway, it seems to be the case.But now that Jia Lian's family had gone to the palace, he couldn't find anyone, so he approached the Xing family through several connections, spent money to convince Xing Zhong, and forced his daughter Xing Xiuyan to help deliver the letter to the palace.

Jia Zhen begged in the middle of the letter: "In the past, although I didn't wait for the silver flower to be used, after all, it was decent and blessed. Now I ask you brother to think about it, and give one or two things that make faces to the family. For the sacrifice of the ancestors, above is the favor of the emperor, and below is the blessing of the ancestors."

Sister Feng gave the letter to Jia Lian. Jia Lian read it angrily and amused. My son came here to make Father Emperor happy, do you want anything?"

Sister Feng looked at Jia Lian who was now a bit self-defeating and self-defeating. She was both remorseful and distressed. She couldn't help saying softly: "What is the prince talking about? Who doesn't know that the emperor will use the prince again. When the time comes The majesty of the Son of Heaven deters the barbarians, and the credit for splashing the sky is all yours, so why demean yourself?"

Jia Lian took a look at his daughter-in-law who didn't know he couldn't have a baby, and felt guilty and embarrassed at the same time. As a man, even if he doesn't know how to make a living, he still has a way to live a nourishing life, but he can't have a son. This one is a big weakness, once you have this problem, you will suddenly lose your energy and energy.At this time, Jia Lian no longer thought about side concubines and concubines. The more women he married, the more he would be blamed for not having a son. I can only mutter that Sister Feng can't have a baby. Although I'm sorry for my wife, it's better than not being able to hold my head up and be a man.

Because he wanted to feel sorry for Sister Feng as a base, now Jia Lian is a few percentage points gentler to Sister Feng, and usually speaks in a soft voice: "I used to be tired and lazy, and everything was out of order, so it's hard for you. Don't dislike it, you have been wronged by me for so many years. Now that you are valued by the emperor, I am motivated to do a career, and I don't want to be successful, as long as it can make you and your daughter hold your head high."

Apart from the few months of their wedding, Sister Feng has never heard such soft words from Jia Lian. She burst into tears on the spot, which was also a tender and sweet reply. .I just feel sorry for Ping'er who is holding the tea tray, he is so sour that he can't advance and retreat, he is extremely embarrassed at the door.
