The Legend of the Long Room in the Red Mansion

Jia Zhen bought wine to treat guests mainly to thank Ning Shan for her kindness, and by the way to express her loyal and willingness to follow closely.Therefore, the first day was just a family banquet, and everyone came to set off Ning Shan.Unexpectedly, Jia Baoyu, who was the first to wink, almost scared away the distinguished guests.

With a gesture, Jia Rong quickly stepped forward and bowed, first to greet Jia Amnesty, and then to Ning Shan.Jia Qiang has been living with Jia Zhen, although a while ago she went out to live in another house in order to avoid rumors, but after being thrown to the Beijing camp for special training with Jia Rong, he gradually moved back, and today she also stays with her. Helping guests beside Jia Rong, seeing that Jia Rong blocked Jia Baoyu and prevented him from going up to harass Ning Shan with his arms around his waist, he also walked towards Jia Zheng very cleverly: "Second Master, my nephew will lead you the way, Eldest Master Here you go, it's time to take your seat."

Jia Zheng looked at Ning Shan and Jia Lian, who were standing half a step behind Jia She, one on the left and one on the right. One was handsome and upright; His eldest son, Jia Zhu, had been ill for several years before his death, his face was green and his lips were white; another Jia Baoyu was good-looking, but he refused to study hard. hatred.Thinking of him studying hard since he was a child, he was deeply loved by his parents, and his literary name was outstanding, but he was not as good as Jia She would be reincarnated. He not only won the ancestral title, but also married an aristocratic daughter, and now he has two filial and capable sons to support him , the more I think about it, the more unwilling I become.If I could have been born two years earlier, now Rong Guohou is my own, my daughter can also be a noble concubine, and my son is also a marquis. Even a concubine might be able to be a hereditary general. stuff in the bag.Time also!Fate!Jia Zheng's eyeballs were a little red. Just because he was born two years late, he ended up in a state of being aggrieved everywhere. He was full of talent and ambition, but he couldn't find good opportunities or meet noble people.

Jia Zheng, who was immersed in grief and anger, did not see Jia Baoyu being dragged away from Ning Shan by Jia Rong and Jia Qiang. He and Jia Amnesty had been at odds since childhood, but now his son is only thinking To be close to Jia Amnesty's son is tantamount to betrayal to Jia Zheng.Thinking back when Jia Zhu was still alive, he never played with Jia Lian. He selectively forgot that Jia Zhu, who was still a child, used to chase after Jia Hu who died young.

Shi Taijun and others were invited to the back hall first, and did not see that Jia Baoyu's treatment was going from bad to worse. Shi Taijun, who saw Yingchun and Xichun in the back hall, was dissatisfied with these two girls and now called her old lady rather than Old Ancestors are often heard at home.Sure enough, this is either the child raised by my side or not close to him. Now that they are both grown up, I am afraid that they will not be familiar with them if they are brought back.Shi Taijun couldn't help but tightened his control over Lin Daiyu, Yingchun was just fine, anyway, she belonged to the big house, and Xichun belonged to the East Mansion, but Lin Daiyu was her own granddaughter, so she must not be led astray by those two girls, no Get close to her old woman.

Today, Lin Daiyu has no family property, at least on the surface, but Shi Taijun did not treat her coldly, because her very righteous daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wang, has made up her mind to let Jia Baoyu marry her niece Xue Baochai.Shi Taijun was born in 1 merchants who looked down on Xue Baochai. The ideal granddaughter-in-law in her heart ranges from Shi Xiangyun to Lin Daiyu, and they are all close to her.If the grandson who most hopes to get ahead is allowed to marry a daughter-in-law who doesn't suit her, it's hard to guarantee that one day he will be blown away by the wind beside his pillow.Shi Taijun, who is wholeheartedly planning his future life, the only thing he thinks about is whether he can live to the day when his precious grandson becomes famous.Judging from Jia Baoyu's lazy temperament, which is still in his early teens and still refuses to study seriously, he wants to become a general, unless all the civil servants and generals in the Daxing Dynasty are dead.

Ning Shan hid Jia Baoyu and took her seat, with Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian sitting on the left and right, and Jia Rong and Jia Qiang under them. But she stared at Ning Shan's face without blinking.Jia Baoyu has always liked good-looking people, and when he sees them, he will become crazy.He is the best-looking brother in the family, so they have been living in peace. Although Jia Rong and Jia Qiang from the East Mansion next door are suave, handsome, and handsome, they are the type that Jia Baoyu would like, but after a while, the two There is a big difference in age between people and him, secondly, the men of Jia's family usually have pink faces, red lips, beautiful faces, and they look like daughters. It's nothing new to see too much.Now seeing Ning Shan, whose temperament is completely different from that of the other men in Jia's family, she has a tough air like she has never seen before, with awe-inspiring resoluteness, a completely masculine demeanor, without a trace of makeup, Jia Baoyu immediately saw her. I was stunned, and I only thought in my heart: There are such people in the world! Now that I see it, I have become a muddy pig mangy dog. It's a pity that he was not born in my family, otherwise I would have made friends early.Fortunately, Shi Taijun didn't like Ning Shan, so he never mentioned him at home. Jia Baoyu didn't know that this person was his cousin. If he knew that he and Jia Lian were usually Jia She's sons, he would have rushed to hold hands by this time.

However, even without physical contact, Ning Shan felt that Jia Baoyu's eyes were glued to him, and no matter how much he dodged, he couldn't tear them apart, and an unknown anger rose in her heart.Because of his resemblance to Jia She, he was also like Jia Lian, Jia Baoyu and other Jia men when he was young.If he hadn't come from a high enough background, his own skills are excellent, and he has a blood-stained killing spirit on the battlefield brought from his previous life to this life, what would have happened.Therefore, Ning Shan hated her overly beautiful face, and couldn't bear the stupidity of others looking directly at his appearance.Fortunately, Jia Baoyu is not very old, and his idiot look is purely from innocence, without a sense of obscenity, otherwise Ning Shan would not care whose family he is, and he would not be able to open his eyes after being beaten so fat .

Men in the Jia family are all famous for their good looks, so no one cares about being stared at or not. They are as clever as Jia Lian and as sharp as Jia Zhen. They didn't notice Ning Shan's anger, so no one reminded them. Jia Baoyu, even his own father, was used to his son's silly attitude when he looked at a handsome man. Everyone was immersed in the warm atmosphere that Jia Zhen took pains to host. Except that Ning Shan felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Jia Baoyu, there was nothing rude about it.To be honest, if Jia Zhen wants to do something serious, she is really capable. On this point, except for Jia Lian who also fights with him, Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng have already been thrown out of Ningrong Street. , Jia Rong and Jia Qiang are also much younger than him.

After drinking for three rounds, word came out that the old lady wanted to play, so Jia Zhen invited everyone to go to the second floor of the corridor behind the garden to listen to the play.Originally placed in Huifang Garden, it was the most respectable place, but unfortunately that place is now enclosed as a part of the Xingqin Villa, and the garden of Ningguo Mansion has been reduced by more than half, and there is no place for people to sit under the stage, so they have to sit on both sides The upstairs is divided into east and west, and men and women sit down separately.

Ning Shan didn't have much interest in listening to operas. This activity was not very popular in his previous life. Most of the children of the aristocratic family still rode bows and horses, and were better at reciting poems and painting. She was very quiet and didn't go out to have fun, and Ning Shan was willing to accompany him loosely, so they went together.

Sitting on the west side are the female relatives, and Shi Taijun starts to order the plays individually. She herself ordered the lively ones, and the others followed her to order some festive scenes such as Havoc in the Heavenly Palace. Madam Wang didn't order, so she pushed it to Aunt Xue , and then Mrs. Xing casually pointed out that it happened that Shi Taijun didn't like it, which made her feel even more that Dafang's family was born to oppose her.Next is today's hostess, You Shi, who didn't order anything, so she pushed it to Wang Xifeng, who declined, and then the girls, in order of age, Xue Baochai was first, followed by Yingchun, followed by Tanchun, Xiangyun, Lin Daiyu, and finally Xichun.After the female relatives finished ordering, the stage below was dressed up and ready to sing.The opera excerpts spread to the east, and Jia Zhen took them, respectfully begging Jia Amnesty to order some operas, and then offering them to Ning Shan in person, completely ignoring Jia Zheng who was sitting between the two of them, and made it clear that he would be indifferent to Jia from now on. politics.However, Jia Zheng couldn't get angry yet. In terms of title and official position, Ning Shan was far ahead of him, so what if his seniority was low, anyway, she didn't participate in the ranking of Jia's family. After giving birth to him early, Jia Zheng didn't have any good mantras to chant anymore.

When the play started, the dramas ordered by the women's family members were performed in turn. The men didn't really like to listen to them. They just kept their interest out of politeness. Taking a look, he was just holding a small wine glass, and Jia Zhen and Jia Lian took turns serving the wine, sipping it one by one.Ning Shan sat upright, as if she was training in the army, with a serious face and bright eyes, staring straight ahead, otherwise he would always see Jia Baoyu, that fascinated look was really an eyesore.Jia Zhen didn't realize that Ning Shan was in a bad mood until she started watching the play, and hurriedly sent Jia Rong and Jia Qiang to stop Jia Baoyu, but the effect was not great.With Jia Zheng present, Jia Baoyu was not so stupid as to come up and hold hands to praise and confess, but just stared blankly, who can cover his eyes so that he can't see?Ning Shan secretly thought it was bad luck, but it was not easy to reprimand Jia Baoyu who was still a child, so she could only endure it forcefully, and at the same time secretly rejoiced that she was the one who adopted her instead of her brother. If she and Jia Baoyu grew up in the same family Either he was crazy or he beat Jia Baoyu stupid.

In order not to beat Jia Baoyu unbearably one day, Ning Shan planned to leave after having tea. Jia Amnesty was a little reluctant, he hadn't seen enough of Jia Zheng's aggrieved expression, because today's banquet, It's called a family banquet, but Jia Zhen didn't pay any attention to Jia Zheng, her real family member. Instead, she kept showing courtesy around Ning Shan, and at the same time, she never forgot to flatter Jia Amnesty. He praised him no less than ten times, and repeatedly suggested that Jia Rong should be sent to Jia She to be raised. Only Jia She can raise a son as promising as Ning Shan.

Jia Zheng was full of resentment, not to mention that Ning Shan was not raised by Jia Amnesty at all, Jia Zhen just ignored him like this is enough to be angry, so when Ning Shan asked to leave and go home, Jia Zheng was the first to go home. Standing up to respond, he also scolded Jia Baoyu to bid farewell to Shi Taijun and others on the west side, ordering him to go back to his residence to study and practice essays.For the first time this day, Jia Baoyu took his eyes away from Ning Shan's face, stood up in fear and walked to Jia Zheng's side, with a terrified and pitiful expression on his face, it was really lovable, but it's a pity that everyone here is hard-hearted, No one sympathized with him.

Jia Zheng was about to leave, so Jia Amnesty didn't care. He lazily stood up under Jia Lian's attentive service, and said seemingly unintentionally, "Second brother, don't be so constrained by the child. You need to know that the matter of studying is very important. Talent is needed, without talent, no matter how hard you try, you are just a stupid bird that can't fly high, fooling ignorant female relatives, or you will be exhausted, it's really nothing good." Jia Zheng's face, after enduring for a long time , and finally turned black as Jia She wished.
