The Legend of the Long Room in the Red Mansion

It is very popular to appreciate flowers in the gardens in the middle of Beijing.

Jia Amnesty dragged his cheeks and sat on the archway of Fengqi Xi Pavilion, scanning the spring-faced men and women inside and outside the garden with clairvoyance from Nanyang maritime merchants, feeling very depressed.

Since Ning Shan brought Yinghua out of the palace and asked her to host the garden party with Yingchun, and since Jia Lian returned to Beijing and led Wang Xifeng to wander around, his desire to find some concubines for his two sons has basically been shattered. What I was thinking about was whether to show Jia Congxiang a young daughter-in-law earlier, or to think about what to do with those boys who admired Yingchun and Daiyu and begged him to come to him.

Yingchun and Daiyu attracted attention because they hosted various activities at the garden party. Many young men secretly favored the two ladies, but most of them were violently crushed by Yunhai and Li Keming as soon as they had the idea of ​​expressing themselves. .

Li Keming was taken aback by Daiyu's status at the flower viewing party, and immediately comforted himself that only such a status is worthy of her talent and appearance, and then followed the sea of ​​clouds and devoted himself to the great cause of a gentle lady and a gentleman .

However, Li Keming's pursuit is much more difficult than Yunhai.

First, Daiyu's status is lower than that of Yingchun, and many people who dare not expect to marry the eldest princess all set their sights on Princess Kangping;

Second, Daiyu is the daughter of Tanhualang from the previous dynasty, with a scholarly family, and Yingchun, whether in this dynasty or the previous dynasty, must be regarded as a daughter of the family. It is taken for granted that Daiyu appreciates literati and scholars, while Yingchun prefers heroes on the battlefield.There are always more people based on literature than martial arts, which directly leads to Li Keming's opponents being several times as many as Yunhai.

Thirdly, Yunhai's thoughts have already passed the imperial court, and he has left an impression in front of Yingchun. Regardless of whether it is good or not, at least let the eldest princess know that there is such a person who admires her.But Li Keming is much sadder. Does Princess Daiyu know who he is?Even though he had made great achievements in the border town, his name and face did not match, and he could not find a way to express himself.

Fourth, and what broke Li Keming's heart the most, is that Daiyu's literary talent is really good. He has never been able to catch up with Daiyu's height when he writes poems on the topic. She is too lazy to compose poems, and doesn't like to waste her brain to write some sad and sad manuscripts, but Daiyu's wave of her hand is a masterpiece. Although Li Keming can be regarded as both civil and military, it is far from the standard of eloquence.

Depressed and frustrated, unwilling and discouraged, Li Keming approached Yunhai, who was racking his brains to change his impression of being a soldier, and put aside his stumbled poems, and sat down on the desk in front of him: "Brother Yun, we share the same illness, so at least you don't just care about yourself, but also help me find a solution."

Yunhai threw the pen he had been clutching for a long time into the pond outside the window, splashed a lot of water, and said angrily: "If I had a way, I would have done it long ago, and would I still write these sour and crooked things here? "Recently, there are too many gifted scholars who frequently compose poems to curry favor with the two daughters by visiting the garden and admiring flowers. Yunhai can't bear it, and wants to write some elegant and brilliant poems to clean up his image, but his Literary skills are limited to being able to read military books and historical records, and can write military newspapers and memorials, but it is extremely difficult to recite poems and Fu.Yun Hai was so angry these days that he was huddling around looking for poems and books to read, while thinking in his heart that he would have a chance to beat up those sour literati.

Li Keming could write a few poems, but he was far inferior to those prodigal sons in the capital who were famous for their literary talents. In fact, sometimes he couldn't even understand what Daiyu wrote, but he could vaguely sense She always seems to be worried, self-pity and self-harm, inferiority and pride, but she doesn't understand the reason.I asked a few sisters in my family who had been accompanying the princess princess for a short time, but they couldn't figure it out. The three girls of the Li family agreed that they should be lucky to be able to have the noble and leisurely life of Daiyu because of her background. The three sisters are open-minded and cheerful. Can't understand Daiyu's melancholy.

The two young generals who are invincible in the battlefield and who dare to fight desperately among thousands of troops sighed to each other: "Let's eliminate all competitors first, and then come to a long-term plan."

Compared with leaving a good influence in front of the ladies in the deep palace, it is not too difficult to beat competitors.

In the martial arts competition, no one in the same age can rival these two, and Ouchi's guards are free to play;

Compared with military achievements, although there are many generals, there are very few who are younger than them and have never been married;

Compared with literary talent, it is naturally not comparable to such outstanding figures as the number one scholar Tanhua, but the general jinshi can still compete for a while, besides, pure literati usually cannot withstand their murderous eyes and gnashing teeth, and their chest tightness will not last long With shortness of breath and weakness in limbs, he had to leave the stage with regret.

What is more troublesome is the noble sons of various high-ranking officials. These people have noble backgrounds, extraordinary family backgrounds, elegant manners, and good conversations. Like His Majesty Yan, Wen can write a pen to make the world safe, and Wu Neng can mount a horse to determine the universe, but it is not a problem to write a colorful article, go up the mountain to hunt a few foxes and white wolves, and these boudoir girls are basically enough.

Fortunately, Yingchun and Daiyu are facing Ning Shan and Jia She every day. With Ning Shan's beauty and Jia She's whimsy as a base, they will not be easily seduced by their handsome looks and sweet words. The handkerchief handing-out plan carried out by the sisters’ sons also did not go well. Although the Grand View Garden is not a place to leave good memories, the girls who lived there are indeed outstanding, and now Baochai who is with Yingchun Daiyu The two Baoqin sisters are enough to compete with most famous ladies.

The younger sister's plan also died, Xichun is indifferent, and admits life, so she refuses to play with girls she doesn't know casually, and besides, there is a sister like Yingchun Daiyu, she doesn't think much of others to come up to show She loves her very much and wants to take care of her older sisters. To be more specific, Miss Xichun doesn't like to buy into other people's shoes, and she often speaks sharply, and even demolishes steps without saving face.

When Yunhai and Li Keming were sitting in the general's mansion, many wealthy sons were also expressing their apologies to their parents who were eagerly looking forward to them—it was so difficult to please Princess Ning Ke and Princess Kangping, no more than their parents and grandpas. How much easier is it to fight bloody all the way to a high position in the court.

It's not that there are old men and old women who have the cheek to ask for marriage for their children and grandchildren, there have always been, and there are a lot of them.But it is useless to ask Jia Amnesty. Jia Amnesty has been told not to interfere in the girls' marriage, and it is basically useless to ask Yinghua in front of Yinghua. Shan’s reply to everyone is—you find a way to do it yourself.

Mr. Li, who learned about his second grandson's intentions from his granddaughter, went into battle, and overwhelmed all his competitors, and was the first to rush in front of Ning Shan: "Your Majesty, I only ask you for one thing in this life, give me that." Let the grandson point out a caring daughter-in-law."

Ning Shan still didn't let go: "Let Keming ask for it by himself, and I will open the door for him to allow him to enter and exit the palace. Isn't that enough?"

Grandpa Li was filled with grief and indignation: "The old minister's family has generations of military generals, and the descendants have practiced martial arts hard since childhood, guarding the border, defending the country, how can there be extra time to learn those sour clichés? Big son? This method is not fair at all, but let them show their talents and show off!" Mr. Li became anxious, and uttered all the slang words he learned when he was young, following his father and brother to suppress bandits and being an undercover copycat.

Ning Shan hastily asked someone to give the old man a seat: "Don't be impulsive, no one knows whether Fenghua Xueyue is useful or not. According to me, neither of the two girls seems to be attracted to anyone, but there is still a chance." It doesn't count for him to talk about things like martial arts competitions, but Yingchun is nothing more than that. After all, she is a close sister, and she is docile and easy-going. He can also intervene to give some suggestions and opinions.

But Daiyu was originally aloof and aloof, and she was cautious and thoughtful. Ning Shan had been a little apprehensive in getting in touch with her before, and always felt that if she was not careful, she would offend something. , but Ning Shan still didn't want to discuss personal issues with Daiyu.

Ning Shan's favorite little girl is actually as generous and straightforward as Xichun, and unfortunately she is as lively and clever as her sister, and the other girls around her have some flaws.

Yingchun is too obedient, and a little submissive;

Daiyu is sentimental and somewhat narcissistic, always looking out of place with her surroundings;

Baochai has a clever mind and a smooth wrist, which is too worldly and fireworks, as if she has passed the girl and directly entered the young woman;

Baoqin's thoughts are too complex, active and unrestrained, and she's a bit clever. In order to leave the palace early and go home, she makes big and small mistakes all day long. The motto is that a king is like a tiger.That is to say, Ning Shan is magnanimous, another emperor will never tolerate a female official like Bao Qin, let alone letting her go home, even being in the cold palace is considered lenient.

In the end, Ning Shan, who was tortured by Mr. Li, went back to Yinghua to complain, and asked her to come forward and ask Yingchun and Daiyu if they had any ideas, whether they really had no idea and just waited for him to propose marriage, or they were willing to choose. A good son-in-law, or simply not in the mood to get married now, he can have a reason to reject the marriage proposal group headed by Mr. Li.
