The Legend of the Long Room in the Red Mansion

A few days after that, when going out with Baoqin to choose the dowry in her shop, Baochai changed into Yinger's clothes under the pretext of taking a nap, and quietly left through the back door. Waiting on the only way to go out to buy vegetables.

Li Wan was surprised when he saw Baochai, but Baochai was shocked when he saw her.In just a few years, the grandma Zhu, who was dressed in plain clothes and still as elegant as orchids, is now old and haggard, and she really looks like a widow. Her face is aging very quickly, her cheekbones are weirdly high, and her face is blue and yellow. , there is not a trace of blood on the cheeks, there are big black circles around the eyes, and there is no smile on the corpse-like face.When Baochai greeted her, her lips moved and her cheeks trembled violently, as if trying to force a smile, but failed.

When the two met, they were silent.Baochai didn't know how to speak, but Li Wan didn't want to speak at all.Now the two of them can be said to have nothing to do with each other, and it is impossible for Miss Yibao to make a special trip to help her because of her early personality, so why would she bother to socialize with her.

It was Baochai who spoke first. She didn't have much time and couldn't afford to dawdle. "Li... grandma..." After a moment of hesitation, Baochai finally chose the original title.

Li Wan didn't even raise his eyelids: "Miss Bao." The cold talk in the voice made people completely lose the desire to talk.

Baochai also restrained her feigned enthusiasm, and told the story of Tanchun in a business-like manner. While talking, she observed the expression on Li Wan's face. She was first surprised, then raised her eyebrows in understanding, and then she didn't care. Concealed Envy——What has Old Madam Jia become now?Why are the people around me so eager to escape?

Trees fell and lakes were evacuated, walls fell and people pushed.This is nothing at all, but it is too different from the previous impression of Jia Shishi. Rao knows that there are some deliberate traces of the kindness, kindness and pity for the poor in the past, but she was once the most favored granddaughter by her side. The sarcasm with the grandson's daughter-in-law seems to have some connotations in the irony of the image.

Li Wan quickly controlled his expression, and continued to ask indifferently: "What is Miss Bao trying to do by telling me this? Tell me to inform the old lady? Or help her Jia Tanchun get rid of being controlled by the old lady? I'm not interested in either."

Baochai told Li Wan about Tanchun's thoughts, but Li Wan laughed sharply before he finished speaking: "Huh? She wants to be a princess? And ask me to help steal the deed of prostitution? Hahaha , What good does it do me? Can she pull me and Lan'er out of this fire pit when she becomes a princess? Can she make my Lan'er live comfortably and achieve success? She wants me to help her, okay, you Go and tell her, let my Lan'er become the prince, and I will help her."

Baochai frowned. Li Wan's voice was too loud. Although this place is remote, it's not like no one passed by.Li Wan looked a little crazy, and Baochai didn't want to pay herself in order to help Tanchun: "Grandma, I just came to help Tanchun spread a word, she can't go out at will now. In fact, she is very I would like to talk to you directly to discuss a solution that is beneficial to both of you, if you are also interested, you might as well make an appointment to meet in my shop."

Li Wan lowered her head, her eyes rolled crazily, just like a mind that thinks quickly and weighs benefits - exposing Tanchun will not do her any good, but if she can really sneak into Lord Wei's house, and even Yingchun in the future , Xichun, then help her at this time, no, hold her handle, pinch her dead point, it would be the best.

Li Wan has always been a realistic person. Maybe she also had a pure and beautiful girlhood, but after Jia Zhu abandoned her who was pregnant with Liujia, she quickly abandoned all innocence and kindness, and covered it up with calmness and silence. With shrewd calculations and greedy needs, her life has been completely ruined by her husband who died young. The only thing she can do is to protect her son and let him get what he deserves, even if it doesn't belong to him. My son's future is even brighter and better, she can steal it or grab it, as long as she can get it, she will do it.

Simply agreeing to Baochai's proposal, Li Wan concealed his emotions and expressions, returned to the dilapidated home as if nothing had happened, endured the humiliation, and continued to serve the increasingly bitter old lady and take care of his increasingly emaciated and silent son.

Tanchun made an appointment to meet Li Wan very quickly. The deed of prostitution held in Jia Shishi's hands is her lifelong handle. She can no longer bear the panic of her fate being pinched in other people's hands. She is going to become a superior girl. But no matter whether she is marrying in the middle of the capital incognito, or going to the Western Regions in a fair manner, she must be innocent, free, and have the basic rights of being a human being, and not a slave who was cruelly choked by her own grandmother.

Li Wan is also very straightforward, she and Tanchun are in a cooperative relationship, and even in the early stage, Tanchun begged her to cooperate, so if there is one request she cannot do, she will not agree.Tanchun was in a hurry to get angry, and begged Li Wan with blisters on his lips, crying, playing emotional cards and promising golden temptations all over the sky, but Li Wan was unmoved in the slightest.She doesn't believe in any promises. What she wants must be tangible benefits. For example, Tanchun must try to take Jialan away from that home before taking Tanchun's deed of sale into her hands, and she cannot send him away. To some place where no one can be seen, but to allow him to appear in an honorable and wealthy family where Jia Shishi's hand cannot reach.

Li Wan listed the options in her mind for Tanchun: "I don't believe that you have a way to get Jia She and the others to recognize you, so I don't expect that. You can let Jia Zhen or Jia Rong take Lan'er away. Or persuade the Wei family who is raising you to come forward. Anyway, Lan'er is still in the hands of the old lady for a day, so you can be a slave for a day."

Tanchun's anxious eyes were burning: "Sister-in-law, how can I let the Wei family know my identity? As for Uncle Zhen and the others, they have no friendship with the Wei family, so I can't do anything about it. I have already promised you money, and you stole my identity." Deed, it is not difficult to take Lan'er away quietly, and I also promise that after handing over the deed to me, I will give you more silver taels, not bank notes, I will give cash, gold trees, pure gold, on the spot Here you go. As for the requests you made, you should know that it is simply impossible! This is obviously a good thing that can have the best of both worlds, why do you make it difficult for me? "

Li Wan gave a sharp laugh shortly: "Miss San, don't you think that you are the only one who is the smartest. It is really not difficult to leave that ghostly place, but if you leave quietly, the old lady will go to Shuntian Mansion, and my Lan'er's reputation will be ruined." It's over, unfilial piety is a serious crime, and he will go to jail, and his future will be completely destroyed. Third girl, I have been in that family for so many years, just for Lan Er, as long as he can get better, I can do anything Don't just watch you suffer, it doesn't matter if you hurt you yourself. If you are really capable, pull Lan'er out of the fire pit and give him a bright future. Otherwise, hehe, you will be in the quagmire with us girls Let's struggle, we are a family, the second room of the Jia family, who is dead to the end, should share the difficulties, that's fair, isn't it?"

Tan Chun bit the inner wall of her mouth, she lowered her eyes, because she was afraid that Li Wan would see her deep hatred.In her opinion, it was the utmost benevolence for her to give Li Wan money to help their mother and son leave the old lady and live a peaceful life in a place where no one knew.But what is Li Wan thinking?She actually still wanted to let Jia Lan become a marquis and prime minister?What spring and autumn dream?Have you forgotten what dynasty it is now? !Did she forget how her "kind and honest" mother-in-law murdered the Empress Dowager? !Have you forgotten their surnamed Jia's endless hatred with the royal family? !Still want Jalan to stand out?Why doesn't she dream that Jalan can open another day? !

It's not that Li Wan doesn't know about this, she's just trying to ignore it.If she didn't hypnotize herself like this, she might lose the courage to live.She was just trying her best to deceive herself, convincing herself to firmly believe that her hard work and suffering can be compensated in the future when Lan'er Xianyi Numa comes to pick her up.

Tanchun returned in vain, so she had to go back and continue pestering Baochai, but it was impossible for Baochai to show up. How could she be willing to do such a thing that would cause a commotion regardless of whether she could get a sheep or not?However, the few words in Tanchun's letter complaining about Li Wan's daydreams and wanting to cling to Jia Zhen and others gave Baochai a new idea.

Jia Zhen in the past was just a dandy in the name of the patriarch, and even had a bad reputation. If he didn't look at anything else, if he and Xue Pan could share the same interests, Baochai would be disgusted.In other words, Xue Pan is her own brother, otherwise she wouldn't even touch such a person.Fortunately, Xue Pan used to be with Jia Zhen. Now that Jia She has reached the sky in one step, he does not forget the old relationship. He still thinks about the decency given to him by the East Mansion when he was down and down, and is willing to pull them out. Therefore, Jia Zhen's value is naturally different from before.Baochai's time in the palace was not too short, and she took a serious view of the relationship between Jia She and the Dongfu, so she was not afraid of making a wrong bet.

It is not difficult to persuade Xue Pan to hug Jia Zhen's thigh, but it is extremely troublesome to make him meet Tanchun and Li Wan on the road.Baochai thought for several days but couldn't come up with a proper solution, so she had to coax Aunt Xue and Xue Pan to try to seduce Jia Zhen, while sending news to Tanchun and Li Wan respectively.

Both of them were very moved.

After so many years of relatives, they knew Jia Zhen's character well, if not fully, and now they had the gifted opportunity to marry the princess. Jia Zhen would have secretly hated that she didn't have a daughter to flatter her.He does have a younger sister who has a sacred heart and grace, but it's a pity that she doesn't get close to him, let alone tease him, and usually doesn't even mention this person.At this time, Tanchun dispatched to provide him with an opportunity, and Jia Zhen would definitely accept it.

But Li Wan's thinking is simpler. Although Jia Amnesty has reached the sky in one step, Jia Zhen is still the head of the Jia family, and it is only natural that Jia Lan's future is under his care.In the past, they were excluded from Ningrong Street, and she couldn't reach Jia Zhen even if she wanted to.Now that she has the opportunity, it's no wonder she would let it go, and what she wants to ask Jia Zhen is not an embarrassment, she just wants him to draw their mother and child out of the old lady's control, as long as she keeps her reputation and leaves there, she I am willing to eat bran and swallow vegetables for my son to study and improve.

What they were thinking was already very simple, but Jia Zhen couldn't help Jia Zhen even more simply. Jia Zhen, who had been ridiculed in the palace, yelled at Youshi angrily: "Master is upset, don't look for me if you have nothing to do, and don't look for anything if you have anything to do. "

You Shi said bitterly: "Master, this matter is what you are in a hurry to do, it is the matter of the third girl, someone from the Xue family sent me a letter saying..."

Jia Zhen roared: "Is she your ancestor? Do you want to invite her to your main room to confess?" The emperor has no intention of sending someone to marry him, so what's the use of Jia Tanchun?Why are you looking for her?Where did you find it?His family does not support idlers.As for sending it to the old lady Jia, hehe, he was tired of living a comfortable life, so he took the initiative to send it to their door to pester them?

After being scolded for no reason, Youshi was also full of anger, ran on the Xue family's mother-in-law viciously, and slammed the door and went back to the house, angry.

Baochai calmly accepted Jia Zhen's attitude, and conveyed it to Tanchun and Li Wan calmly.The two collapsed in an instant, unable to accept the sudden collapse of Qingyun Road.Once a woman who can rationally calculate gains and losses falls into madness, the general in charge of thousands of troops will be frightened when she sees it.

Therefore, Yunhai and Li Keming, who were happily taking their holidays to go to the palace to get in touch with their fiancée, were so sadly urged to be stopped on the road.
