The Legend of the Long Room in the Red Mansion

Early in the morning of the second day, Yingchun got up as usual, after washing and dressing up, she took Si Qi, two other big maids, and four young maids to the Rongqing Hall to pay her respects. Startled.The master in the Rongguo Mansion hadn't gotten up so early for many years. Jia Zheng was not qualified to go to court even when he had a position. The one who would get up at this time was the old Duke Jia Daishan more than ten years ago.

When we arrived at Rongqing Hall, the courtyard door was still closed.The big maids brought by the Ning family, Mu Xi and Mu Xiang, stepped forward to call the door unceremoniously. The little girl who got up early to clean the house thought something had happened when she heard the knock on the door, but she was so frightened that she cried.All the maids were disturbed for a while, and the commotion finally woke up the old Shi Taijun who was sleeping lightly.

"Mandarin duck, mandarin duck, who is making noise outside? Are you still calling out?" Shi Taijun got up angrily.

Mandarin Duck was wearing a coat, and her hair was casually tied up and rushed to serve: "The second girl is outside, and she came to pay her respects to the old lady."

Shi Taijun waved the porcelain pillow and said, "I can't rest easy, who told her to come here? Are there any rules?"

Yuanyang is usually kind to others, but he sympathizes with the second girl: "The two big maids and the nun are here, and the second girl is also shivering from the cold, but she still stands upright. I think it is the custom in the mansion over there." That's it."

Shi Taijun didn't care whether this unloved granddaughter was sad or not, but he couldn't bear the grievances on her head: "It's okay, beat all those girls and women out. This is a majestic Rongguo Mansion, and no one else will be tolerated." Presumptuous." Ning's family is a marquis's mansion, which is lower than the Duke's mansion, so Shi Taijun is very confident in wanting to beat or evict him.

Yuanyang agreed, and asked another big maid, Hu Po, to go out to pass the message, and pressed the acupuncture points on Shi Taijun's head herself, and said softly: "Can the old ancestor sleep for a while?"

Shi Taijun thought about it, and felt that he couldn't sleep anymore, so he got up with dissatisfaction.Yingchun was also invited into the outer room, except for Si Qi, other maids were not allowed to enter, one master and one servant were at the mercy of others, not even being given tea and did not dare to speak out.

After being left in the air for almost half an hour, Shi Taijun slowly walked out with the support of Yuanyang. Seeing Yingchun with a cowardly face, he felt a little pitiful as well as hateful. After all, she was his own granddaughter, although he didn't like her. Parents, but after seeing her appearance now, don't you want to say that her old ancestor is not merciful?Even for the sake of his own reputation, Shi Taijun also softened his tone a little, beckoned Yingchun, waited for her to pay her respects, opened her mouth to give her a seat, and said: "I will just get rid of them once and send all those maids and women away. Now, if you go back and get blamed, just don't blame me, otherwise I won't care about it."

With a bitter look on Yingchun's face, he agreed, and thanked Shi Taijun in a low voice: "The old lady is merciful, allowing me to be at ease for a few days is a great gift from heaven."

Although the flattery was over, the meaning was always good, so Shi Taijun sent a message to ask Wang Xifeng to send away the maid who came with Ning's family, but the nurturing mother did not leave. But Wang Xifeng is not stupid enough to rush to offend her.In any case, it was others who left her suffering, so why did she go out of her way!

Sure enough, as Mammy said, without Yingchun opening her mouth, someone sent away the mighty army for her, leaving only two Siqi embroidered tangerines, and the little girl Shi Taijun sent to Ning's house to serve as the ear god Ziliu Ye'er, and an errand girl named Lian Hua'er who Wang Xifeng followed along with her fingers, she was treated the same as other girls in the family, and she seemed very decent.

Yingchun settled down with peace of mind, just waiting for someone from the Ning family to pick her up.

Osmanthus osmanthus and Mu Xiang returned to Ning's house, and reported to Mrs. Xing what happened in Rongguo Mansion immediately.It happened that Jia She was also there, and the couple were eating snacks together. Hearing this, he didn't worry about his daughter, but asked: "How soon will you listen to the old lady's words, and come back when you let me?"

Osmanthus osmanthus replied: "It was Mammy who told us to come back." Mu Xiang said: "Is it the old man who is going to pick up the eldest girl? Or is it asking Lord Hou to go?"

Jia She pondered for a while, feeling that the two methods have their own advantages and disadvantages, so he couldn't help saying: "Let me think about it."

Ning Shan had a way to know about anything that happened in the Ning Mansion. She hurried to go to court that day, and when Yingchun disappeared, she knew that the Rongguo Mansion couldn't bear it after all.That's right, now the list of visiting relatives is full of favored nobles, if their wife's concubine can't get her turn, she will be completely shameless.

Thinking about their garden being built, they just want to get some precious things for display, so it is not impossible to lend them, even if he decides whether to borrow or not, he has other ways to make them suffer.

There is no major event in the court now, but the Supreme Emperor and the present are breaking up the division of fiefdoms between princes and princes.Ning Shan contacted some people in private, from all sides, and wrote a letter together, each stating their pros and cons, inciting the ambitions of many interested parties, so that the two emperors couldn't find time to find out what seemed to be an uproar overnight. The source of the proposal.

Nowadays, I vaguely feel that Jia Yuanchun should not be able to come up with such a good idea with his own mind. Most of the time, there is guidance from the Rongguo Mansion behind him, but he doesn't know which one in the Rongguo Mansion.If you can find out, it is also a good thing to make suggestions for yourself to deal with the Supreme Emperor.This person who has fully believed that dividing the fiefdom is conducive to dispersing the power of the Supreme Emperor is equivalent to the idea of ​​benefiting himself.Ning Shan planned this step because she saw the foolishness of the emperor. Anyone who was shrewd knew the evil consequences of enfeoffing the princes during the Qin and Han Dynasties. Choose a prince who is so stupid and pure.

Ning Shan no longer intends to become a general in this dynasty, he originally wanted to choose a more reliable prince, but as far as the current adults are concerned, none of them can compare to Emperor Sui Yang.Besides, after knowing the history of the Jia family's six wrong bets from the third generation of Conglong in detail, he felt that he might not have the luck of Conglong, and it would be a shame if he became like the Jia family.So I gave up the idea of ​​being a dragon, and changed to divide the sons and grandsons of the dragon and separate the fiefs. When the time comes, I will see who has a clear name and go to whoever gets it. Or if it is really not good, find a remote place to live Not bad.Anyway, the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms lived quite lively and prosperous for a while, and the Dugu family took advantage of that time to accumulate rare experience. This kind of intangible wealth is the most precious foundation in the family inheritance.

Since there is nothing to do in the previous dynasty, it would be good to toss about the harem. Thinking of this, Ning Shan happily ordered: "Go and ask the old man, someday I can't sit still and want to go to Jia's house, I will accompany you Let's go together."

Granny Ping agreed to retreat, and went home to tell her wife Song Ping one thing or another, and Song Ping went to pass on a message to Jia She.Jia Amnesty was very happy to hear that he was able to provoke Jia Zheng again, and said, "Wait a little longer, until the nobles finish visiting their relatives and the second son of Zheng can't wait any longer." Jia Amnesty also had no choice but to learn a lot about the current political situation.

While the father and son were thinking about how to amuse Rongguo Mansion, the eldest lady Yingchun also had a great time.Shi Taijun is so lively and likes to show off, even for the birthday of Xue Baochai, who she doesn't value, he does everything.Of course, it is Wang Xifeng who does the work, and the others just enjoy it.

On the 21st, Shi Taijun set up a homely small stage in the inner courtyard, and ordered a new troupe of small plays, both Kunyi and Yi.There were several family banquets arranged in the upper room of Rongxi hall, and there was no outsider, only Aunt Xue, Shi Xiangyun, and Baochai were guests, and the rest were from our own family.

Except for Xichun, who was raised in Rongguo Mansion, the East Mansion didn't come, and Shi Taijun didn't care. blind.

Shi Taijun can only wait for Concubine Jia Yuanchun to return home to visit relatives in peace, and the vigorous and brilliant performance attracts the attention of the emperor, so that Yuanchun can win the favor.As long as the prince is born, the Rongguo Mansion will be rich for three generations without any effort.Or, maybe I can still think about that supreme position.Thinking of Baoyu, which was born with jade in the family, even the royal family did not have such great fortune. It can be seen that this is their Rongguo Mansion chosen by the heavens. Who can go against God's will?

Shi Taijun, who has a lot of brains, is in a good mood when he sees everyone today. Not to mention Daiyu and Xiangyun, who have always liked him, even Baochai has a smile on his face.When it's time to order a play after dinner, Shi Taijun must first ask Baochai to order.Baochai backed down again, but couldn't, so she had to order a discounted "Journey to the West".Sister Feng also knew that the old lady liked to be lively, and she liked to make jokes even more, so she ordered "Liu Er Dang Yi", and she really liked it more, and then ordered Daiyu to order it.Because Aunt Xue was present, Daiyu refused to order first, but gave way.But Shi Taijun insisted on her ordering a play, but he had no choice but to order one and pass it down to Xiangyun.Xiangyun also finished counting, and then came to greet Tanxi and the three of them, just pointing out them casually.Originally, they are not the protagonists today, so there is no need to get on the pole for fun.

After seeing the play for a while, Shi Taijun loved the Xiaodan and the clown very much, and he ordered someone to bring them in. When he looked closely, he became more and more pitiful.Because of the age, Xiao Dan was only 11 years old, and the clown was only nine years old. Everyone sighed.He also gave extra rewards and several dishes of fruit.Just as they were about to let them go down, unexpectedly, Mrs. Wang suddenly laughed and said: "This child looks like a person, you can't tell anymore."

Baochai knew it in her heart, so she just smiled and refused to say anything.Baoyu also guessed, but dare not say.Shi Xiangyun didn't pay attention, and then said with a smile, "it looks like sister Lin." Baoyu heard this, and quickly took a look at Xiangyun.But when everyone heard this, they looked carefully and laughed, saying that it was really good.Daiyu's face turned blue, but she couldn't say anything.Shi Taijun was also a little displeased, but there was no need to break up with Concubine Qi's biological mother because of such a trivial matter, so he just glanced at Mrs. Wang, and everyone sat for a while, and then they all dispersed.

Daiyu went back to her room and cried to herself, hating that she was alone now, floating like duckweed, so that people made fun of her.Shi Xiangyun was also angry for a while. She said what she said without distracting her mind, and she knew she was wrong when she said it, and Jia Baoyu looked at it full of meaning. go.

Jia Baoyu ran to comfort Lin Daiyu but was kicked out, and then went to look for Shi Xiangyun, but was also robbed, and both ends were not settled, sobbing sullenly.This one is as precious as a phoenix egg, if he is unhappy, the whole family will be in bad luck.Sure enough, when Mrs. Wang found out, she hated Daiyu even more, despised her for being a vicious girl, and didn't know the rules, so she tried to play tricks on Baochai's birthday; He is strong, but also ignorant.Thinking about it again, if it wasn't for Xue Baochai's birthday today, there wouldn't be such troubles, and he didn't like Xue's family even more for a while.

It is obvious that the three girls are innocent, and it was all caused by Mrs. Wang in order to ridicule Daiyu, and Jia Baoyu was busy messing around everywhere, making a small incident turn into a big one.In the end, he alone won the love and praise of Jia Shishi and Jia Wangshi, but the three girls were angered, and life became more and more difficult.

Of these three girls, which one is not from a better background than the second son of the white family Jia Zheng's convict wife Wang?But when they entered the Rongguo Mansion, they became Jia Baoyu's foil, and they only needed to make him happy, not to make him unhappy.They are all of average age, yet they meet such a doting, ignorant, phoenix egg who thinks that everything he does is good and that others should follow him.If it weren't for the fact that there was nowhere to go, I'm afraid no girl would be willing to stay in the Rongguo Mansion for a while longer.
