The Legend of the Long Room in the Red Mansion

It was a very long day.

It’s been like a year since learning the rules in the morning, and finally finished the class, all the sisters didn’t even have the strength to eat lunch, Tanchun and Xiangyun still struggled to pick up a few mouthfuls of food, Daiyu and Xichun fell down on the couch , fell asleep in minutes.Yingchun came to Ning's house and got up very early every day, so she developed the habit of taking a lunch break. At this time, Daiyu and Xichun lay down on the imperial concubine's couch in the side hall before they could return to their room, and asked Si Qi to take a look at it. They, don't catch a cold, and go back to take a nap by themselves.Tanchun and Xiangyun also lay down after dinner. Although they were very tired, they didn't have the habit of taking a lunch break. When they couldn't sleep for a while, they gathered together to chat in a low voice.

Xiangyun said: "I'm really unhappy these days, I thought I could have a good time here. Now that the garden at home is so noisy that I can't go anywhere, who would have thought that I would be detained in the same room when I came here .”

But Tanchun said: "Second sister is living a really good life now. Some people value her and others love her. Seeing her actions, she is surrounded by everyone. It's really everyone's way. No wonder she doesn't want to Let's go back to the mansion."

Xiangyun stared at Tanchun with wide eyes, and didn't think there was anything good about it.How tired, how would you know that so many maids and maids were not sent by the elder brother of the Ning family to watch over the second sister?Now the only maidservants that Second Sister is familiar with are Si Qi and Xiu Ju, and the rest are assigned by the Ning family. In Xiangyun's eyes, these people were sent by her second aunt to look at her when she was in Shihou's mansion. Just like the person watching her work, if she was a little late in her actions, there must be a little girl going to make a report, causing her to be lectured.

Tanchun also looked at Xiangyun with wide eyes. Such a beautiful and decent life is what the ladies in the Duke's mansion should have. How can they be like they are now, with two big maids around each other, and the other little girls are more sensible? The son dodges whenever he can, quarreling and gossiping behind his back, there is no peace.Tanchun's mother-in-law was born in the Rongguo Mansion. The house was confiscated as a maid, and she was raised as an aunt after giving birth. She was said to be a half-master, but in fact she was still a slave.Moreover, he is vulgar, he is used to being jealous, he has to be strong in pinching, he is not like a master among servants, but he is obviously a dwarf when he wants to show his master's money among his masters, he behaves nonsense, has a nondescript style, and has been involved several times. She has no face, and often cries behind her back, only regretting that her fate was not good enough to be thrown into the stomach of her wife.Seeing that the second sister who was once a concubine with her is now living such a beautiful life, she hugs her before and after her actions, and the foster mother follows her instructions. She is also decent in front of her own master and wife, and she has no mother to hold her back. , Tanchun's envious eyeballs turned red, and he just wished he could exchange things with Yingchun.Or, let her have such a mediocre and decent brother, even if no one else has it, it doesn't matter.

The two disagreed, and they couldn't talk about going together. Similarly, the thoughts in their hearts were very different. Xiangyun thought about how to say goodbye, and asked his ancestors to bring his second sister back when he returned home; Chun was thinking about how to make Yingchun stay with her for a few more days, to study a lot, and when she went home in the future, she should also make the second sister remember to pick her up more.Thinking about it this way, I can't help but regret that in order to please Mrs. Wang, I have gotten too close to Sister Bao of the Xue family on weekdays. The fourth sister doesn't know why she doesn't deal with Sister Bao. The most lenient, but this time, I heard that the four younger sisters were invited here because of their boredom at home.Tanchun turned over, pretending to be sleepy and wanting to take a nap, but actually facing the window, eyes wide open, thinking about his way out blankly.If you make friends with the fourth younger sister, you must alienate elder sister Bao, which is tantamount to offending Mrs. Wang, the aunt, and she still wants to make a living under Mrs. Wang. , the second sister will only invite the fourth sister to play, and she will have no chance to come with her.No matter how you think about it, you are in a dilemma. There is no way to get the best of both worlds. Hearing Shi Xiangyun's breathing gradually stabilized behind him, Tanchun felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to cry. She only felt that she was the most suffering and tired, and worried about herself all day long. In such a situation, how can they be carefree and sleep soundly like those of them who are in pain.

To be honest, none of the girls in Rongguo Mansion is really carefree. Although Lin Daiyu is loved by Shi Taijun, she is not as important as Jia Baoyu and the whole Second Household in her heart, otherwise she would not condone The daughter-in-law calculated the property of the Lin family.And opposite to Shi Taijun's love is Mrs. Wang's dissatisfaction with her. Although she dare not show her face directly, the hints and connivance behind her back also made Lin Daiyu miserable;

Needless to say, Tanchun's embarrassment was also involved in the struggle between Shi Taijun and Mrs. Wang, and he couldn't follow his own heart to decide which sister he was better off with;

Xichun was originally a daughter of the Ningguo Mansion, and her status was the highest among all the sisters, but she was a fatherless and motherless. It made no difference whether her brother and sister-in-law were alive or not. She lived with the Rongguo Mansion and was placed in the same class as the concubine daughter. , and was forgotten in the back from time to time, only a little better than Yingchun in the past, thanks to the loyalty of her nanny, the maids and family members around her are all in Ningguo Mansion, and they will pass some news behind her back from time to time, The ability and courage are also incomparable to Si Qi and Xiuju who are beside Yingchun.Both of these two have served Yingchun since childhood, because Yingchun used to be timid, and they both needed to stand up for their master, and also had to fight with Yingchun's greedy nanny, and they both had a bit of a fierce temper. One was kicked out, and everyone in the whole family respected Yingchun according to Ning Shan's wishes. The strength of the two of them was useless. Instead, they were retrained by the foster mother and taught them to be maids again. Dutiful, but also vigilant, once Yingchun suffers a loss in that mansion, she can still have two helpers, at least she must dare to come back and file a complaint.

The lunch break time passed while Tanchun was thinking. The maids came in to help everyone get up and clean their faces, changed their clothes and went to the female teacher's class. This is similar to when they were in Rongguo Mansion. Like, I read another chapter of "The Female Ring", and the time passed quickly.Today's class is over, and they are free to move around before dinner.However, I was tired all morning, and I couldn't make up for it with a short nap. Even Xiangyun, the most lively and active, couldn't get up the energy to go to the garden today.

Yingchun has long been used to this kind of work and rest, and still arranges the rest with ease, and considerately asks if the dinner should be delivered to the room, so that it is convenient for everyone to rest.Daiyu cheered up, and still didn't forget about the morning thing: "When are you going to greet your wife? You have to go there before dinner!" When they went to say hello, Mrs. Xing may leave a meal, so there is no need Alternative arrangements have been made.

Yingchun said: "I said earlier that I don't need it today, starting from tomorrow, I see that you are all very tired, you should take a rest earlier."

Neither Xiangyun nor Xichun had any objections, and Tanchun was a little worried that Mrs. Xing would be unhappy: "Since we found out today, we should do it today. Let's go and invite An before we come back."

Yingchun looked at Xichun, who was about to fall asleep while sitting, and then at Daiyu, whose face was full of exhaustion. After all, she couldn't bear it, and persuaded: "It's really unnecessary, Madam doesn't know where you are going. It's not beautiful to go there hastily, it would be better to go with me tomorrow." But she still has to make up her mind, and go to Madam Xing tonight to say something, so as not to surprise her when everyone goes to pay her respects tomorrow morning.

Hearing this, Tanchun didn't hold on any longer, and pulled Xichun to go back to the room: "Your lunch is useless, at this time, wash your face quickly, wake up, and go to bed after eating."

Xichun couldn't open her eyes at all: "I won't eat, I'm not hungry, I'm sleepy." As she spoke, she slumped down, Tanchun's maid served the book, Xichun's maid entered the painting, and Yingchun's two second-class maids embraced together Holding her steady, Yingchun looked straight and smiled: "Hurry up and carry the soft sedan over here, where can the fourth sister go?" Immediately, a woman outside agreed loudly, and went to carry an open-top bamboo that was carried by two people. When the sedan chair came over, two strong women took Xichun back to her room in Lingshayuan. Xichun didn't open her eyes from the beginning to the end, letting the maids manipulate her.The other sisters watched and laughed, and Xiangyun took the opportunity to say, "It can be seen that I am very tired today, and I haven't been so tired for three or five days in the past."

Yingchun glanced at her and asked, "You don't like the rules here?"

Xiangyun nodded sincerely: "Second sister, you have had a hard time, why don't you tell your ancestors and go home."

Yingchun shook her head and said: "Master and wife are here, I am a daughter, how can I go to hide by myself, naturally I have to follow and serve."

Xiangyun pouted, she was right, but she still felt wronged by Yingchun, just thinking about the cowardly nature of her second sister, she was sure that she also wanted to go home, but she just didn't dare to say it.

Tanchun wished to stay here for a longer time: "That's right, it's not only the second sister who has to be filial to the elders and wives, but now that we live here, we should also be filial together. I embroidered a sachet not long ago, I plan to give it to the eldest wife on her birthday, but I don’t have it now, the second sister can lend me some of the extra needlework and satin, and I can make another one in a few days.”

Yingchun said: "I have some in my room, you just pick them out." After hearing this, Daiyu also thought about whether she should also do several colors of needlework, and followed all the etiquette.It's just that she is really tired today, she doesn't want to move, and she doesn't have the strength to do needlework.

Xiangyun is in good health, and she is the most tired of yelling, but she is actually the most energetic, but she doesn't like sewing the least, and she wants to leave sooner after hearing this. "I haven't seen my ancestor for two days. I think her old man is thinking very much. When will we go back?" It was straightforward for Tanchun to try to smooth things over.

Yingchun hoped that they would take the initiative to leave, so naturally she would not do much to keep them. "Is it my fault? I forgot that you all came here. The old lady is short of people, and she is very lonely."

Daiyu and Xiangyun stopped talking, and looked at Tanchun together. She was the serious granddaughter of Jia's family. She had to give a signal if they wanted to leave or stay.

Tanchun stomped his feet anxiously, but didn't dare to show anything on his face: "I also miss my ancestors very much, but now the house is in a mess, and she has to make up her mind about everything. When we go back, the excitement is the excitement, so there is no delay. It is a big event to build a family-speaking garden."

Yingchun couldn't listen to the words "Guanqinyuanzi". When she heard it, she would immediately prick up her ears, for fear that the next sentence would mention the lack of money.Fortunately, the little girls don't care about these things, and Mrs. Wang is not thinking about making money again, but only thinking about keeping Lin Daiyu far away. It's just that her greedy and short-sighted character has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the Ning family. Defensive from top to bottom.Therefore, she was deeply misunderstood for this rare time when she had no plans.
