The Legend of the Long Room in the Red Mansion

Shi Taijun, who finally got Jia Zhen, was actually not satisfied. To be honest, in the past month, she tried to take advantage of Jia Zhen, Jia She, and Ning Shan's absence from Beijing to attack their treasury, but the Ning family was not easy to enter. , especially after Mrs. Xing was sent back and Yingchun was sent to Ningguo Mansion, the gate of the Ning family was never opened to the Jia family.Shi Taijun wanted to get closer, but everyone knew that she was Ning Shan's actual grandmother. However, the righteous adoption was enough to overwhelm the meager blood relationship that had not been together for 20 years. The Ning family recognized Jia. Family members are regarded as affectionate and righteous, and if they don't recognize it, they are also famous teachers.Now that Ning Shan respects Jia Amnesty, no one is ashamed to talk about it, especially Shi Taijun is famous in Beijing for his deep-rooted heart.

Xichun was taken back to the mansion by Jia Zhen to accompany Yingchun, Yingchun didn't come to Rongguo mansion very often, but when she came to pay her respects, she came early and left late, and didn't stay.Shi Taijun was unwilling to lower his price to keep a concubine's granddaughter, so he hinted that Wang Xifeng would come out to welcome the spring.Unexpectedly, this time Wang Xifeng was overwhelmed by her mother-in-law Mrs. Xing, and she had to live with her in the original courtyard of Jia Amnesty in the East Courtyard. filial piety.Anyway, since she moved away with Jia Amnesty, Mrs. Xing didn't plan to make any more false claims with Wang Xifeng. She completely tore her face off, simply and rudely relying on her mother-in-law's money to suppress her, even Shi Taijun couldn't say anything.If she dared to tell Wang Xifeng not to talk to Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Xing would be able to follow suit and ignore her.Shi Taijun said in Jia's house that the only thing she relied on was her super-class imperial order and filial piety, and now Mrs. Xing's noble husband Rong also got the imperial title of Mrs. Chaopin Hou, which is only one level behind Shi Taijun, making her unable to think about the same as before. It's exaggerated, but Wang Xifeng's fourth-rank respect is much lower than Mrs. Xing's. No matter how much she looks down on this step-mother-in-law who is not well-born, she can't help but secretly envy her good luck. After taking up an official position, she also started not to be afraid of her, and even became more respectful to Mrs. Xing. What kind of curses could Wang Xifeng, a daughter-in-law at the lowest end of the generation chain, recite?I had no choice but to serve Mrs. Xing unwillingly.

But there is one advantage of being tripped by Mrs. Xing in the East Courtyard, that is, she can't control the construction of the garden.It happened that at this time, Shi Taijun and Mrs. Wang's private houses were all empty, and they began to try to find other people's money. If Wang Xifeng continued to manage it, they would have to be tricked into it.Mrs. Xing didn't make a fuss when she tripped her in the East Courtyard. She just asked an old woman next to her to read Wang Xifeng's female precepts every day in the name of educating her daughter-in-law and taught some women in the back house that might involve law.This nanny was also invited by Ning Shan, and she was specially placed next to Mrs. Xing, so that she could stand up, so as not to embarrass her silly father.Mrs. Xing is a person who knows good and bad, and she is also inferior to her humble background, so many conversations and jokes among noble ladies can't get in. Now that she has a nanny who comes out of the palace to support her, she can learn it very well. Carefully.Before coming back this time, Ning Shan asked the housekeeper, Granny Ping, to send her a message, asking her to go back and arrest Wang Xifeng to learn some laws, so that she would not continue to do such immoral and illegal things as champerty and usury in the future. This matter caused Jia Lian trouble for no reason.Mrs. Xing obeyed Ning Shan's words, and when she came back, she took Wang Xifeng to her side to take care of her. Even if Wang Xifeng felt unwilling to go to Shi Taijun and cry, Mrs. Xing also had her own words to deal with it: "If you don't see the second sister-in-law, you are too courageous. But my brain is not bright, I have no need to do karma, not only ruined myself, but also implicated the master of the family and the nobles in the palace. Now I have hired a nanny to teach Feng girl specially. It will not be Lian'er and the whole family who will benefit in the future ?”

The example of one person killing and ruining the whole family is so obvious. What else can Shi Taijun say, he can only praise Mrs. Xing for her thoughtfulness, and tell Wang Xifeng to obey the mother's guidance, and never do it in the future. Like Mrs. Wang, she did something that harmed the whole family.In fact, if it wasn't for worrying that Yuan Chun was still a nobleman in the palace, Shi Taijun would have locked Mrs. Wang in the Buddhist hall early in the morning.Just because the emperor didn't completely put Yuan Chun in the cold palace, she was always lucky, thinking that her eldest granddaughter was still favored, but she was implicated by her stupid and short-sighted mother. high position.

It's a pity that this beautiful misunderstanding is just that the emperor wants to get more money from his private treasury, so that he can promote all the concubines in the harem to the level of family-saving.After all, the more people who build gardens, the richer his private treasury will be. As for the family visits, his private treasury will also be richer, and it will not be too late to settle the accounts at that time.Therefore, Jia Yuanchun is still struggling in the position of a nobleman, trying to find opportunities to make his debut.

Wang Xifeng was surrounded by Mrs. Xing in an upright manner, and all the affairs in her hands could only be handed over to Mrs. Wang.But Mrs. Wang is really not a person with outstanding abilities. Apart from not willing to spend more money, she who has always pretended to be a Bodhisattva is not as effective as the rouge tiger Wang Xifeng's kindness and power in summoning servants and side branches.People like this, once pretending for a long time, can even deceive themselves. I think Jia Zheng really thinks that he is upright and talented, but he is not appreciated, and Mrs. Wang really thinks that she is a bodhisattva. Compassionate and kind, the husband and wife are a natural pair from the heart to the outside, because there is no other couple who can cooperate with shamelessness to such an extent.

Jia Zhen entered Rongxi Hall slowly, with Mrs. Jia Zheng Wang sitting on both sides, and Mrs. Xing and Jia Lian sitting on the other side. Wang Xifeng stood behind Mrs. Xing, looking very well-behaved with low eyebrows, Youshi followed behind Jia Zhen , also bowed his head shyly, Jia Amnesty refused to come back, saying that he had given up the title now, so Jia Lian would handle all the affairs of the Rongguo Mansion.This is also the reason why Jia Lian and Jia Zheng can sit in the same room. After all, to be honest, the Rongguo Mansion is now Jia Lian's third-class military mansion. Licking his face and staying still, that layer of Duanfang's skin has been punctured long ago, but no one said anything about it.

Shi Taijun dressed up very festively today, dressed richly and with a kind face, Jia Zhen hurriedly called out before finishing the ceremony: "They are all from my own family, so what kind of gift is there, Zhen'er is also promising now, come to the ancestor's place quickly Sit down, and let me have a good look at our second lord."

Jia Zhen ignored Shi Taijun's words and stood up after saluting as usual, and You Shi beside her also paid respects. "The etiquette cannot be broken" is the most practical sentence in front of Jia Shishi, no matter how kind she said it, except for Jia Baoyu, whoever takes it seriously is asking for trouble, and she will remember it sooner or later I got it back.

After the salute, Jia Zhen didn't sit in front of her. His son was grown up, and the old lady still treated him like Jia Baoyu. It's no wonder he was comfortable.Walking to Jia Lian's side, Jia Lian cleverly got up early and bowed to Jia Zhen: "I haven't congratulated Big Brother Zhen on his promotion to the rank, so here's a salute first, and I'll treat Big Brother to a drink to celebrate another day." After speaking, he gave up his chair Ask Jia Zhen to sit down, and sit down by herself, very close to Jia Zhen, showing the close relationship between the two.

When Shi Taijun saw that Jia Zhen didn't sit by Jia Zheng's side but was laughing at Yan Yan with Jia Lian, he felt displeased, and also had a faint feeling that his plan for today would fail again, so his face darkened three points, but he suppressed it He got angry, but didn't get angry, and still smiled amiably: "I know you two are good, and we usually eat wine together, and today's meal is not bad. Zhen'er has been promoted to the title, which is a great joy for the whole family. Please, don't take public accounts, and don't invite outsiders, just let the two of us have a good kiss."

Jia Zhen replied without raising her head: "I have set up a banquet in Ningguo Mansion, and all my relatives and friends have promised to show me their respect. It's really not easy to come to the old lady's banquet. Why don't you let Mrs. You accompany the girls?" I'm so happy, let me borrow Lian'er to entertain my guests."

Jia Zheng said: "Lian'er is still young after all, so there is nothing wrong with offending others. Many relatives and friends have been friends for years. Why don't you help me host it? You don't have to thank me. This is from the whole family. It's a happy event, everyone should do their part." He said it as if he was his father.

Jia Zhen said again: "Don't dare to bother Uncle Zheng. Now Rong'er has gone to the Taoist temple to invite my father. I really can't handle such a big matter by myself. I have to ask my father to come back and preside over it." Following Jia Zhen's words, her face flushed rhythmically.

Seeing this, Wang Xifeng wanted to interrupt to ease the atmosphere, but Madam Xing gave her a stare. She was inexplicably surprised for a moment, and before she had time to speak, she was picked up by Youshi: "I have prepared a banquet in Ningguo Mansion according to the master's order. After all, It’s my master who was promoted to noble, and there’s no reason to clear away guests in Rongguo Mansion, but the aristocratic family ordered his wife to come along with her, and please invite the old lady to receive her.” Now the whole Ningguo Mansion followed Jia Zhen’s name and called the old lady. The old ancestor Shi Taijun can only be called in the Rongguo Mansion.

Jia Zhen went back to Jia Zheng, and You Shi blocked Shi Taijun back. Both mother and son had some signs of going crazy, but they had to endure it.Shi Taijun still has a step down where he may entertain female guests, but Jia Zheng is a red-faced man who has been slapped.It's just that he doesn't think about it, now that he has been dismissed from office and is at home, he is a white body, so how can he have the status to gain his presence in the team of four princes and eight princes?That is to say, in Jia's family, he still has the advantage of a high seniority. The most important thing is that he has an old lady behind him who is so biased that all the nobles in the capital know about it. Jia Zhen has to deal with him.If Shi Taijun returns to the west one day, Jia Zheng will be nothing more than a Pangzhi tribe who wants to move to the back porch of Ningrong Street.Maybe, at that time, if he wanted to see Jia Qiang, he would ask his grandpa to sue his grandma for money.

Compared with Jia Zheng, who can't adjust his position, Shi Taijun is obviously much more sophisticated: "This is also reasonable. Since this is the case, we will entertain the guests in the East Mansion, and welcome the female guests to the West Mansion. Now that our family has been promoted to a noble, Xu The concubines and concubines also came to congratulate. Youshi has never managed such a big scene, so let Feng girl come forward. Anyway, Feng girl presided over the matter of the Qin family back then, and she stood at attention when she handled it, so she didn't bother her. Lord, just invite her one more time." Shi Taijun smiled and provided a platform for Wang Xifeng to display, and by the way disgusted Jia Zhen and You Shi, very much living up to the truth that Jiang Shilao is spicy.
