The Legend of the Long Room in the Red Mansion

Chapter 265 Before the Yumen Pass

Before Wei Ruomei's message reached the Shenwei Viscount's Mansion, it was a very warm and friendly place for Tanchun.

The current Viscountess of Shenwei is a noble and gentle woman. When she saw Tanchun in ragged clothes and scars, she didn't ask anything. She immediately took out her clothes and asked the maids to wait on Tanchun to wash and change her clothes. The doctor came steadily, and gave Tanchun a diagnosis and treatment.

An hour later, Tanchun had changed into a set of clean clothes and re-dressed, lying on a comfortable big bed with carved patterns, and was served by maids to slowly drink the freshly brewed soup.She looked haggard, pale, and looked pitiful, but there was an imperceptible light in her eyes.

The Viscountess bent down to look at Tanchun, and said with a smile: "It's all right now, I changed my clothes, washed and groomed again, and I feel much more refreshed. The doctor also said just now that the injuries are all traumatic, so it's best to rest for a while. My God, don't rub it again, and don't get wet, it will be fine after a while."

Tanchun leaned on the pillow excitedly and saluted: "Ma'am, what can you do with the little girl, you have to take care of me personally, the little girl kowtows to you here!" Tanchun was very clever and did not give his name.She didn't know if this lady knew about the Jia family's affairs, Jia Amnesty's affairs would be reported to the seemingly high-ranking general so that he could pass them on to Ning Shan, Jia Amnesty, Yingchun and Xichun. But for those who don't know their identities, the less you say, the less mistakes you will make.

I have to say that Tanchun's idea is very correct. Mrs. Wei had a good impression of Tanchun before she knew her identity and why she was sent to her home.Of course, this favorability is far from being a good impression of her as a daughter-in-law at a glance, but the kindness and politeness of a middle-aged lady who has no conflict of interest with her and has a fairly standard appearance. .

In all honesty, Tanchun's appearance, figure, and temperament are all outstanding, with slender shoulders and a thin waist, a tall figure, a duck face, handsome eyes and eyebrows, just looking at her appearance is enough to make people like it.For a long time, Tanchun has not been able to stand out from the crowd because there are too many outstanding girls in the Grand View Garden.

Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu are not counted, Xue Baoqin and the Li family sisters Li Wen and Li Qi are also excellent, and even if she only compares with her own family, in terms of facial features, she is no match for Yingchun and Xichun, but Yingchun is timid and Xichun is childish , are not as good as her quick-wittedness, literary talent, eye-catching and forgetful, and she is not as cheerful, generous, and willing to please people. Therefore, before Yuanchun entered the palace and Daiyu arrived, Tanchun was once Jia's mother. The most favored granddaughter in front of me.

However, the sudden changes in life in the past few years have worn away the most attractive heroic spirit of Tanchun in the past, and Tanchun, who is struggling to survive in the cracks between Jia Mu and Li Wan, has become She has lost the dazzling brilliance of being good at poetry and calligraphy, and her taste and elegance, but it has also allowed her to develop her shrewdness and scheming to a higher level.

This time, being sent to the Shenwei Viscount's Mansion is also an opportunity for her, a way out if Jia She, Yingchun and others are unwilling to accept her.

It is imperative to please the Viscountess.

However, this is not easy to achieve.

Mrs. Wei's experience far exceeds the limits depicted in Tanchun's mind. No matter how shrewd Tanchun is, she is shrewd like a girl. The ghostly sister-in-law has been fighting for decades and won the final victory. How capable and sensitive the noble lady is, her little thoughts were clearly detected by Mrs. Wei in a few words.

But Mrs. Wei did not expose the probe, and even accompanied her to continue the performance with a benevolent brow.

Gein, Mrs. Wei doesn't like Xue Baoqin whom Wei Ruomei has her eyes on.

The Xue family is an imperial merchant, and it is a family that has lost its shrewdness. It is only supported by a widow and a stupid son. The imperial merchant is on the verge of collapse, and that Xue Baoqin is not even the eldest son of such a humble family. The eldest daughter, but the daughter of the second family that both parents have forgotten, and there is an older brother on top.

This means that Xue Baoqin not only has no status, no background, no background, no backer, she also does not have as much dowry as imagined.

If Baoqin hadn't been an official in the palace, was talented and famous, and Mrs. Wei had seen her rare beauty with her own eyes, no one in Viscount Shenwei's mansion would agree with Wei Ruomei's self-assessment.

However, even if Baoqin's own condition is excellent, it is difficult to please Mrs. Wei. Because of Wei Ruomei's stubbornness, Mrs. Wei, who does not want to have a separation with her son, chooses to take refuge temporarily, and only lets Viscount Wei slap the table and roar with his son. On the other hand, she made the most reluctant preparations—trying to accept a Xue Baoqin who almost did not meet the standard of a good wife in her mind. At the same time, she was also prepared to add trouble to Xue Baoqin from any angle.

Tanchun, who came to her door to flatter her, was nothing more than a free chip that was not used for nothing.

When Tanchun tried his best to express himself, Xichun was also trying to prove himself.

"Brother Huang, Brother Huang, just let me ride a horse. Really, I can already ride a horse. Xin Yi can prove it. Xin Yi, Xin Yi, come and tell Brother Huang, can I already know how to ride a horse?" Xichun grabbed The saddle strap of Ning Shan's royal horse bounced and jumped to prevent Ning Shanfei from getting on the horse, unless he took her own initiative.

Ning Shan has always been very used to Xichun, and she didn't get angry when she made such a fuss. She just looked at Xin Yi with a smile and asked, "How do you answer when you think about it? The crime of deceiving the emperor is not a joke!"

Xin Yi bowed his head and looked down, and replied respectfully: "The princess can indeed ride a horse." Xichun beamed with joy, "But," Xin Yi said with a heavy tone, "The servant only accompanied the princess to trot a few laps in the palace school grounds. I have never rode my horse and whipped it, and galloped recklessly, so..."

Xichun frowned, and stomped her feet angrily: "I didn't say I wanted to run fast, but wouldn't it be okay to just ride for a stroll? I was almost suffocated in the carriage." As he spoke, he tiptoed to find Yingchun. , and shouted loudly: "Sister Ke, good sister, you can also say something nice for me."

Yingchun is exchanging feelings with her mount not far away. Her riding skills have been taught by Yun Hai after Xin Yi's enlightenment. It may not be so beautiful, but it is absolutely safe and practical. Now she is wearing a men's riding suit , appearing more brow-locked, waist straight, neck slender and back straight, heroic and valiant, radiant.

Hearing Xichun's coquettish call, Yingchun walked over lightly, touched Xichun's head, and said with a smile: "Let Xin Yi take you to ride, and I will help you to talk, but you can't do it yourself if you want to ride."

Xichun thought about it, even if she was being taken by someone and couldn't run freely, it was better than being bored in the car, so she agreed.

Yingchun raised her head and looked at Ning Shan with a smile: "Brother Huang, can you sell my little sister's face?"

Ning Shan shook her head and smiled dotingly: "Don't cry if you fall." After finishing speaking, she got on the horse and led the young soldiers away with whips. The desert is boundless, and it is the time for galloping horses to dry up the clouds.

The long horse team was narrowly billowing with smoke and dust, and barely stopped until the Yumen Pass.Ning Shan held the reins and looked at the ancient and dilapidated Beacon Tower full of historical heaviness under the afterglow of the setting sun. This was the period when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty opened the roads to the Western Regions and established the four counties in Hexi. Hence the name.During the Han Dynasty, this was the gateway to all parts of the Western Regions. According to historical records, Yuan Ding or Yuan Fengzhong, the Qing Dynasty built the Great Wall from Jiuquan to Yumen, and Yumen Pass was established accordingly.

However, a few dynasties ago, with the desertion of the Silk Road, this place was almost abandoned. Except for some caravans with dreams of getting rich overnight and the sand bandits and horse thieves that followed, even the garrison rarely approached here.

Of course, now, there are people waiting under the city wall.After receiving the flying report from Beijing, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu gathered his troops and horses at the first time, and rushed to the designated place day and night to wait for the holy driver.This is his chance to show off his political achievements, and at the same time secretly beg for a good time to return to Beijing. He has been in this ghost place for more than ten years. The sky is full of sand and the dust is flying everywhere. In a ghostly place where you can eat half a mouthful of sand with a word, it is not much fun to be an emperor.

When Ning Shan was exchanging political opinions with the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu in front, Jia She was slumped in the car half dead, complaining to the sky: "Why do I have a good life like a god in Beijing, but I have to run here so I don't want to shit. The broken place?"

Qiu Shi'an smiled apologetically, and didn't mention how Jia She jumped so high that he insisted on following.

Yingchun rode briskly past outside on a pony, leaving behind a string of crisp and sweet laughter like jade bells. Jia She became more and more annoyed: "I am so uncomfortable, but she is still smiling so happily?"

Xichun was led by Xin Yi, and she also rode past on horseback, with childish laughter and laughter drifting into Jia She's ears, Jia She glared: "There is no one who is caring! Master is going back to Beijing!"

"Do you want to go back before reaching the ground?" Ning Shan's voice also drifted in. Jia Amnesty straightened her back from being half paralyzed to sitting on the floor, and tried to calm her expression: "Shan'er, do you want to come in?"

Ning Shan said concisely: "Come out." Jia Amnesty got out of the car without delay.The governor of Shaanxi-Gansu has already fallen on the ground: "I respectfully invite the Supreme Emperor to live forever."

Ning Shan beckoned to Yingchun and Xichun: "Stop playing, come and meet the Governor." The two came lightly, and the Governor raised his head slightly and was shocked: "Your Majesty, this...these two are..."

Si Qi stepped forward and replied, "This is Princess Ning Ke, and that is Princess Ning Hong."

The governor's face was strange and unspeakable, and after a long while, Fang asked vaguely: "Excuse me for being presumptuous, I don't know the two princesses, have you already agreed to them?"
