The Legend of the Long Room in the Red Mansion

Not long after Jia Amnesty had settled down here, Jia Lian knocked on the door to report that at Rongxi Hall, Taijun Jia Shi wanted to see his elder brother.Ning Shan's frowning brows hadn't loosened yet, and they immediately tied a knot again.Does Jia Shishi really think that he is unique and noble?However, a lady of the country whose husband died actually called Chaopin Marquis around. Who gave her the right and courage?

Ning Shan didn't intend to give Jia Shishi face of his father's face, so she said unceremoniously: "I haven't sent a post to Shi Taijun, so it's not polite to visit so rashly, please come again next time." His post was delivered directly to The one in the Changfang’s father’s study room, he would still like to come and see it. After all, there are only his father and his younger brothers in Manrongguo Mansion. He is no longer from the Jia family.The descendants of the aristocratic family are proud of the clan, and it is true that the clan does not respect the imperial power, but now he is Ning Shan, and he is the only one in the Ning family.The Jia family has nothing to do with him.

In Rongxi Hall, Jia Shishi, who heard Jia Lian's reply, knocked over a set of teacups with a wave of his hand. Shishi seemed to be angry, immediately rubbed his body, hugged Jia Shishi's arm and said coquettishly: "Old Ancestor, what's wrong with you? Whoever upset you, just tell me, I'll spit on him." Jia Baoyu is best at pretending to be foolish and flattering, and this move is really flattering when paired with his full moon face. At least Jia Shishi won't be angry when he sees him. He just waved his hand and told Jia Lian: " Since your elder brother said so, then see you next time." After finishing speaking, he didn't take it seriously, and went with his arms around Jia Baoyu wholeheartedly.Jia Lian was used to this experience, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong, so she bowed and backed out.It's not that he doesn't know that the marquis is super-class, but in this family, Shi Taijun is the wife of the super-pin country, and also an old ancestor. People with ordinary contacts, even the old concubine of the county prince's family, are talking and laughing. The uncle of the Lin family also respected Shi Taijun in Beijing back then, and now that he passed away, he entrusted him with his only daughter, which shows his trust in the Jia family and respect for Shi Taijun.Therefore, Jia Lian always thought that the person called by the old ancestor would not dare not to meet him, not only to listen to the teachings respectfully, but also immediately without delay.Therefore, Jia Lian was really surprised that today his eldest brother who just heard that he had met him didn't care, and that Shi Taijun passed by casually without scolding him face to face.It was also the first time he saw that apart from the royal family, there were other people who were above Shi Taijun. At least, there were people who could not give her face.

After hearing Jia Lian's reply, Ning Shan didn't say anything. That Jia Shishi and her favorite daughter-in-law, Jia Wangshi, would meet sooner or later. Not to mention anything else, he still remembered the grievances his father had suffered all these years. Do the math, if there is a big trouble, it can just leave the impression that he and the Jia family are indeed two families.Although Ning Shan is not prepared to be her confidant today, it is also a good thing for him to put down his guard so that she can return to court as soon as possible.In the final analysis, Ning Shan, who came from a noble family, still prefers to be a powerful minister rather than an idler who is far away from the court and detached from things.The leisurely talented man under the chrysanthemum-picking east fence has a good reputation, but how much development has he made?Even if he is the only one in the Ning family now, and he doesn't need to consider the family, he is still willing to be a master.In this Jia family, except for his father and younger brother, he didn't want to have anything to do with them.Based on today's narrow-mindedness, once he gets rid of the Emperor's imprisonment, he may be the first to attack the Emperor's favorites.Although Ning Shan was not afraid of him, she didn't want to be taken advantage of by him either.He won't be anyone's confidant, and he can still stand out by his own ability, so why bother to lower his value.

Youyouran left a word for Jia Lian, asking him to send a message to Jia She when he woke up from the wine, and Ning Shan went back to the Ning Mansion where she lived with her grandmother when she was young.This place was not built by imperial edict, so although the Ning family fell into ruin, the land deed is still in his hands, but the house has been abandoned for more than ten years, and he only sent his old servant to clean it up when he was preparing to return to Beijing a few months ago. Only the main courtyard, a few large and small study rooms, and a martial arts arena were cleaned, and the rest of the place could not be lived without repairs.Ning Shan didn't take it seriously, she ordered to go down and chose a main house to live in.This place was originally regulated by the Hou Mansion. Later, the old Hou Ye went and did not take it back. Now he is the Hou Ye again, and he still has the title of Zhenbei Hou. The original regulations can be used, and one more can be added. add.If the Hou's mansion allocated to him can't be cleaned up, Ning Shan plans to live in the Ning family's old house. Compared with living in the Chizao's mansion, his old house is more comfortable. The most important thing is Yes, it is also far away from Jia's house, so you don't have to see those people going in and out every day, which saves you the effort of washing your eyes.

Jia Amnesty woke up the next day. He seemed to miss his eldest son whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and maybe he just liked being able to express his grievances towards the Jia family in front of him. When Ning Shan came to the door again, he went to the Ning family's old house with familiarity.This place, when his original spouse was still there, he would come to this place several times a year. The old Hou Ye and the old lady even pointed out that his son was taking care of the elderly, so they were quite kind to Jia Amnesty, at least compared to the first time they met. Jia Daishan, who only pointed at his nose and scolded him as worthless, and Jia Shishi, who held Jia Zheng in front of him every day and hurt him, Jia She also felt that the old Hou Ye and the old lady missed their parents more.When the old Hou Ye died in battle, he cried a lot and helped burn incense and ask the spirit to take care of the funeral. All the old servants of the Ning family knew about it and reported it to Ning Shan.Ning Shan looked at this father with swollen eyes and a flattering face, her face became more gentle.

Jia Amnesty didn't come empty-handed this time, but the things he took were not very decent, probably he usually likes to play with them. After hearing the cry that day, Ning Shan didn't think he could get something out of the public treasury Come on, as long as that Jia Shishi doesn't let go of his relatives, no matter what Jia Amnesty wants to please him, he can only pay for it himself.Seeing the slightly pained expression on Daddy's face, Ning Shan smiled even more heartily.

"Father, you are too polite. I was supposed to find something to honor you, but now it's the other way around. How can I have the nerve to accept it?" Sitting in the main hall with a nostalgic look on his father's face Drinking tea, Ning Shan's gentle manner seems to have relaxed Daddy a lot, or maybe it's because his accumulated resentment for many years finally has a place to vent, and he can't talk more thoughtfully.

"If you don't give it to you, you won't get any good. Just Lian Er, a foolish seed, who can't even get his wife, what good can he get? It's better to be a disaster. Why do I let others be the masters of the house? , spending money to provide for others to eat and drink, instead of making the second room cheaper, it’s better for everyone to spend money together, who can’t do it?” Jia Amnesty is quite proud of his own style, and he doesn’t know if this person is smart It's still stupid.It is said that he is smart because he can see the situation clearly, he knows his position in the mansion and his reputation outside, he is quite self-aware.If people don't know it, they will be laughed at, such as the dignified second master Jia Zheng.But if you are really smart, how can you compete with others and spread the family property you have won? How can you let an old lady who is supposed to be a submissive ride on her head to do her best?It's all just an old lady, she's still a mother, and she can be called filial, but what kind of smart person is he if his brother, brother, and daughter-in-law have stepped on his head, at best, he is just stupid and not so vivid.

It's just that Jia She's little cleverness can only be spent on spending money. As a nobleman of the Rongguo Mansion, he is really willing to go all out and ask for money and things. He can still get some. He treats these things as his own. But it is not a small mind to treat the money that has come so hard as spoils of war and put it in his room for self-entertainment.At least others are not as optimistic as he is, and if they encounter the same situation as him, they may not be able to endure it for so many years.Thinking about it this way, cheap father is still a good one, at least if you recognize him, it won't cause too much trouble. This person has been useless for many years, and even the ability to go out and cause trouble has been oppressed. Even if you really ask him to come back At most, he is satisfied with eating and drinking without being oppressed by others, so he will be happy.

Ning Shan really didn't expect that now she can't wait to put people in his house.The Zhenbeihou Mansion was built in the Ming Dynasty and is still dillydally organized, but now I am thinking about his backyard.Ning Shan has already passed twenty this year, this age was considered in her previous family, but it was just the right time to get married, but at present, it seems too late.But he stayed at the border for more than ten years, and fought in the battlefield for seven or eight years, so where did he find the time to get married?Later, when the old lady passed away, he had to keep his filial piety again, which was delayed for more than three years. It was just like this back and forth, inside and out, that dragged on until now.Now he was the only one left in the Ning family, and he couldn't find a female elder even if he wanted to propose a marriage. Therefore, the emperor missed him.

First, he secretly used the daughter of the so-called four princes and eight princes to test whether he had any intention of forming a party, followed by other veterans of the emperor's confidantes, including the daughter of the deceased former inspector Jia Jia's uncle Lin Ruhai, It was also used by the emperor to test him.Ning Shan refused without hesitation, that girl Lin had heard from her younger brother Jia Lian, she had been raised with his precious Jia Baoyu since she was a child, and now she is in her teens and she still sleeps with her. Even the bedrooms are connected from the inside to the outside, Ning Shan doesn't want to rob other people's child bride-in-law, and that Jia Shishi raised her, so he is born with a sympathy.

It's just that it is indeed a problem that there is no one to manage the backyard in his mansion. If you don't want the female family members of the so-called four princes and eight princes to intervene, the best way is to hire someone who can take care of things.Ning Shan, who has been with the cheap father a few times, feels that Dafang and his family are not bad. At least they can’t cause trouble for him when they get it back, and they also need to recognize each other. , It is also better than the female officials and female historians who are forced in today. He doesn't think that he can give him any good people with today's temperament.

So, when Jia She came to complain again that the antique he wanted was given to Jia Baoyu, Ning Shan casually suggested, "If father is really uncomfortable living in that mansion, how about coming to son's house?" If Jia Amnesty hadn't been so stupid, he should have known that in that mansion, he was just a first prize soldier who was ignored by no one, but coming to his mansion, he was treated like the old Marquis.Ning Shan didn't believe that Jia She would refuse such a good job because of his greedy and lazy personality.Even if there is still money in the Rongguo mansion to hang his appetite, he will definitely take the bait.And once Jia Amnesty comes over, which one of his wife, daughter, and daughter-in-law can't follow along to fulfill his filial piety?Whoever it is, as long as it can support him in the middle of the house, first let there be no excuse for him to send spies into the backyard, and then he will have time to take care of the things after that.
