The Legend of the Long Room in the Red Mansion

Unexpectedly, the Rongguo Mansion was very urgent, and once the time passed, the old lady came again. This time, there was still a decent old lady Zheng in front of Shi Taijun. Mrs. Xing didn't want to lose face, so she had to call Yingchun and let her clean up. He went to Rongguo Mansion, but he insisted that he was unwell and needed rest.

Yingchun had no choice but to go back to the room and let the maids pack their bags, and found out the two-color needlework she had done in the past, preparing it as a ceremony for Baochai's birthday.

Since the last time Yingchun came back with eyes swollen from crying, Si Qi was very angry. This time, she saw that Mrs. Zheng was a little aggressive in her words, and she immediately became angry. They drove out in four or five carriages.Yingchun secretly thought something was wrong, if she passed like this, wouldn't it make people suspect that she had an extraordinary status in this mansion?It's just that Si Qi doesn't listen to people's persuasion when she is impulsive, and with Mrs. Zheng watching her, she can't explain it too clearly, so she just let it go, thinking that the boat will go straight when it reaches the bridge, so she doesn't think about it anymore. Putting on the sedan chair, the four of them carried it and swayed towards Rongguo Mansion.

The battle of Yingchun entering the gate scared the women and maids who went to greet her. Yingchun was born as a concubine and was also a junior of the Jia family. through a corner gate.But today, the foster nun followed her and refused to let her go through the corner door. Such a low status would put her face as a nunnery, so she stopped the carriages, horses and sedan chairs, and let the west side door open.

The sect didn't dare to be the master, so he reported it to the steward of the outer court, and the steward reported it to the housekeeper Lai Da, who rolled his eyes and told him to tell his mother Lai Nanny, and finally it reached Shi Taijun.

When Shi Taijun heard that Yingchun had brought dozens of people here, shouting and embracing, it was such a big show, a surge of anger arose in his heart, and he felt that he was cheated by this girl.Therefore, he shouted sharply: "If you don't leave the corner door, let her go."

Mrs. Wang rushed forward to support Shi Taijun's arm, and said in a low voice: "You have to let that damn girl in, so that she can be manipulated by her."

Of course Shi Taijun understood this truth, but she couldn't stand the possibility of being fooled by a concubine's granddaughter, so she couldn't suppress the tone in her heart: "Just go through the corner door, and no one is allowed to open the side door."

Yingchun was sitting in the sedan chair, wrapping the ends of her hair around her fingers, with a bored look on her face.She knew that she would cause trouble, but she lamented that Shi Qi's fiery hoof, although loyal, was also reckless. In fact, it would be better for Xiuju to order her around, not to mention the many maids assigned by the Ning family.The master's self-cultivation can be reflected from the servants. Today's Rongguo Mansion can't even squeeze in the second-rate end. They still have dreams and think highly of themselves.

The stalemate finally ended in the hands of Jia Lian who hurried back. He is the number one serious master in the mansion, so he naturally opened the side door, and the sedan chair for Yingchun followed. You must know that the current second master Lian is not the one who used to run errands for the second master. He is now the third prize winner and a member of the fifth-rank household department. At home, the second master had to salute him when he went out.

Yingchun entered the room after mental preparation, but the teacup thrown over still wet her skirt.On the way, Si Qi realized that she had done something wrong, and had already thought of a countermeasure.Seeing Shi Taijun at this time, with a "plop", knelt down and cried: "It can be considered that I saw my ancestor again. My girl has suffered a lot. Now her actions are being watched by others, and she has no freedom at all. I dare not speak too much." To put it bluntly, I dare not take half a step on the road, I would be afraid of even a little wind blowing all day long, and I begged my ancestors to make the decision, let the girl go back to the house and relax for a few days."

Yingchun lowered her head and shed tears cooperatively. She is the best at acting now, tears come when she says it, faster than Sister Lin, who is known to love to cry.It's because the mother nun said that sometimes a woman's tears are the best weapon, and if used properly, she can be invincible.Therefore, she was forced to learn all kinds of crying faces, some showing softness, some expressing sorrow, some crying with shame, and some silently pouring out grievances... Although Yingchun didn't grasp all the essence, put it in at this time There is definitely not enough to see in the palace of the harem, but it is more than enough to deal with the second-rate palaces in Beijing.

Shi Taijun was originally an extremely proud and conceited person. She had been at the top of the Jia family for many years, and she had completely believed that she was the supreme old lord who was in charge of the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys of the Jia family. It is difficult and difficult for Li's granddaughter to deceive her.She would rather ignore the facts and believe what her ears hear than face what her eyes see.

After Si Qi cried and complained, Yingchun choked up for a while, Shi Taijun basically accepted this explanation completely.Greeting Yingchun to come forward, she scolded disdainfully: "You are also a useless, decent master and miss, how can you let the women and maids handle it? You are not doing well now, but who do you blame? After all, you are not It’s all about striving. Let’s wipe those tears, it’s not bad luck.”

Yingchun obediently wiped away her tears, but they kept flowing. She seemed to be afraid that Mr. Shi would not like it, so she put on a timid and ingratiating smile, and only cried: "At first, I left my sisters, just dreaming. Remembering my house, I have to live in my old house at home for three or five days, and I am willing to die, I wonder if I will have to live in it next time!"

Shi Taijun was more and more displeased with what he said, and it was Wang Xifeng who stepped forward and pulled her down, saying: "The room behind Baoxia is now given to Sister Yun, you should squeeze with her , or go back to the East Courtyard with me, you will always have a residence."

Yingchun didn't choose either, she just covered her face with her handkerchief and wept, letting Wang Xifeng pull her out of the door.Si Qi and Xiu Ju were crying together, the mother-in-law and other maids were waiting outside the door, no one went in, so they didn't help.It's just that when the eldest daughter of my family came out crying, everyone took it as being scolded by the old lady of Rongguo Mansion, and she was very angry. If there is someone who can speak in front of Lord Hou, I immediately drafted in my heart how to go back and sue Zensheng .

The mother-in-law is immovable, but she secretly praises Yingchun for applying what she has learned, and she is a malleable talent.

While crying, Yingchun secretly said in her heart: Fortunately, she was fooled.The corner of the mouth could not help but bend a tiny arc, and then covered it with a veil, so that no one would notice.

When we arrived at the East Courtyard, Wang Xifeng ordered the maids to find clothes to replace Yingchun's wet skirt. The big maid in the room was named Ping'er, so she went to get a long skirt with flying birds and flowers painted by Wang Xifeng. Lining with the rose and purple peony pattern brocade long dress worn by Yingchun today.Originally, Yingchun was many years younger than Wang Xifeng, but she was a rare girl who was tall and tall. Wang Xifeng was always majestic and imposing, and people would always forget that she was actually exquisite and petite. As long as the upper body was covered, it was worn by Yingchun. As a sister-in-law, she couldn't get it back, so she couldn't help but blame Ping'erkang for her.

Jia Lian, who was reprimanded by Jia Zheng outside with a gun and a stick, went back to the house, and when she heard Sister Feng complaining about Ping'er, she couldn't help asking.Sister Feng didn't take it seriously and said it casually.Jia Lian frowned. His wife looked smart, but she was actually very stupid. She only cared about power, and only valued the old lady, and no one else would pay attention to anyone the old lady valued.But he knew that Yingchun, a girl, was somewhat respectable in front of his elder brother, not to mention admiring her, but also looking down on her, he really didn't know what to say.Immediately stopped her complaints, and said angrily: "What is a piece of clothing worth? Don't say such troublesome things. Since my sister is back, you just take care of her. Don't forget, this is your serious sister-in-law. Don't praise Miss Bao and Miss Bei all day long."

Wang Xifeng didn't like to hear this, so she put her hips on her back and said back: "The old lady said that she wanted to celebrate Miss Bao's birthday, whoever doesn't hold it, you have to talk about it."

Jia Lian doesn't like to quarrel with her, because usually they can't win: "You have even planned many big birthdays, and now you are stinging like a scorpion."

Wang Xifeng said: "Of course there are rules for big birthday meals. Now her birthday is neither big nor small. Since the old lady has entrusted me, she must make it beautiful and decent."

Jia Lian also knew that this old lady had to be respected, let alone a person, even cats and dogs.It's just that from the past, he doesn't think the old lady likes this Xue family girl very much, and he is afraid that Wang Xifeng's flattery will be slapped on the horse's hoof.He bowed his head and thought for a long time, and said: "You are confused today. The current ratio, then sister Lin is an example. What you did for sister Lin in the past, now you can do it for sister Xue." Because Aunt Xue is also Wang Xifeng Therefore, he also called Xue Baochai his sister.

After Yingchun had finished changing her clothes, Si Qi Xiuju took care of her clean face and make-up, and she came out of the room after tidying up.Seeing Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng standing and talking in the outer room, they stepped forward to salute and said, "Greetings to my second brother, and thank you to my second sister-in-law Lian for giving me the clothes." These terms are distinct, but Wang Xifeng never cared.

Jia Liansheng was afraid that Yingchun would hear the conversation between the two, and remembered that the mansion had never celebrated her birthday.Seriously speaking, Yingchun's first birthday was still spent at Ning's house, because she had only lived there not long ago at that time, and she hadn't made any major arrangements, and Jia Lian didn't send her any congratulatory gifts, fearing that she would feel unhappy, and her words could not help She showed her kindness: "What is a piece of clothing worth? If you like it, just ask your sister-in-law for it. If there is no one in the house, I will go outside and buy it for you." Wang Xifeng looked at Jia Lian in surprise, not I understand why he cares so much about a concubine girl.

Yingchun lowered her head and only acted shy. In fact, Jia Lian already knew how she was doing in Ning's house, and this was just to fool Wang Xifeng. "Don't dare to bother my brother and sister-in-law, I will be fine with the routine."

Wang Xifeng was still puzzled, and didn't answer for a while, intending to see how Jia Lian made arrangements.Sure enough, Jia Lian went past her and ordered: "Pick up a few elegant and clean yards in the East Courtyard and tidy them up, and live in whatever place my sister likes." But since the old lady wanted to keep her, apart from Jia Amnesty and Ning Shan coming to pick her up in person, even he would not dare to send her back on his own initiative.

Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows and cast a sidelong glance at Jia Lian, but she didn't refute his face. Ping'er heard it, and waited for a while, seeing that she had no other orders, she went down to find someone to clean and settle down.The big and small maids brought by Yingchun started to help together, but they were orderly in chaos and moved very quickly.

In the evening, Yingchun chose a good yard to live in, and asked the foster mother behind her back for advice: "Should I send some people back? I'm afraid the old lady will see the clues after a long time, so I don't need to cause more trouble."

The nanny said: "People must withdraw, but you don't need to open your mouth. If the old ladies of Rongguo Mansion want to stand up for you, or simply want to show off, they will naturally send them back. Girls need to remember, from entering From Jia's house onwards, you won't be able to manipulate them."

Yingchun pursed her lips and smiled: "What mammy said is that I can only be angry." Mammy couldn't help being amused by her, a cheerful and lively girl is always loved by others, not to mention she will rely on girls to support her in the future , I naturally hope that the more outstanding she is, the better.Immediately covered Yingchun with a quilt, said with a smile: "I am an evil nanny who even manages when to rest and when to get up, girl, go to sleep, don't speak." Yingchun blinked, and naughty replied: "Observe. "After finishing speaking, he lay down with his eyes closed, and had nothing to say all night.
