The Legend of the Long Room in the Red Mansion

After living in Rongguo Mansion for two days, Yingchun felt bored. After Sister Bao's birthday passed, everything returned to normal, but it was only a matter of time every morning and evening, and then she went to study with the female teacher for an hour. It will only work after Baoyu goes to study at home. If he cheats and refuses to go to school, Shi Taijun will definitely ask them to collectively take leave and go to Rongqingtang to play with Baoyu. I have to rack my brains to make him happy, now at home, except for Lin Daiyu who often flirts at him, and he is not angry at all, any other girl who says something he doesn't like will immediately slap her face down.

Yingchun has been at home in Ning's house for a long time, and he can't stand Baoyu's selfish temperament. Maybe he doesn't know that his actions are selfish, but this can't cover up the essence.I have seen Ning Shan who is talented in both civil and military skills for a long time; I have seen a lot of Jia Cong studying hard every day and striving to make progress; even the second brother Lian, who occasionally comes to Ning's house to ask his eldest brother is also full of current affairs and the status quo of the six departments. When you are used to being a good man, you should be a good man, take the road of economic career, and support a peaceful and prosperous thinking for your family.

But Jia Baoyu enjoys the prosperity and prosperity brought down by his ancestors, but he is full of disgust for the economic and official career. He only thinks that everyone is filthy, and he is the only one who is innocent, which makes Yingchun disgusted.He doesn't like economic career, so don't enjoy the benefits of economic career.Which of the food, clothing and clothing is not the shelter of the blood and sweat of the ancestors?

Yingchun especially couldn't bear Jia Baoyu's famous saying: "A daughter's house is made of water, and a man is made of mud. When I see a man, I feel stinky, and when I see my daughter, I feel refreshed." This is the Rongguo Mansion, Yingchun really wanted to throw a word at his face: "Don't get mixed up with our clean and refreshing daughter, you foul-smelling man!"

Yingchun, who doesn't like to talk to Baoyu, just takes Xichun to chase chess pieces and paint pictures every day. Occasionally, when Lin Daiyu gets impatient, Baoyu will come to join them, but when Daiyu comes, Baoyu will definitely follow after a while.It's a pity that Xiangyun went home not long after he got upset about the little opera singer that day. Baochai, who usually followed Mrs. Wang's orders and stayed by Baoyu's side, didn't know why, but she didn't come for two days from the beginning Yes, there is no one there from time to time.Fortunately, there is Tanchun who has been holding Baoyu in order to please Mrs. Wang, so the rest of them can feel less upset.

Daiyu has been very grateful to her since she learned that Yingchun took care of some of the family property for her, and Yingchun often told her about the future of some properties when she came back to pay her respects.Lin Daiyu was indeed smart, but no one had taught her in detail how to be a housekeeper. She could figure out the difficulties that the Jia family was struggling to make ends meet based on what she often saw. Just pretend to be rich.

Tanchun was somewhat skeptical of what Yingchun said, she couldn't do anything in Ning's house, and thought she was either hiding something, or simply cheating the old lady and the second wife, but she couldn't afford to expose it.The construction of the garden at home has nothing to do with her, and it is impossible for the concubine's sister-in-law to take care of her more. At least before Baoyu's success, it is impossible for the grandmother and mother-in-law to take care of her.

Tanchun has been trying to please Mrs. Wang and make friends with Jia Baoyu, so that one day Mrs. Wang can give her a good way out because she can win an in-law for Baoyu.She was used to the vulgarity and incompetence of her biological mother, Aunt Zhao, and being looked down upon by others, and she absolutely did not want to live like that in the future.Marrying a noble family and being a regular wife is her only hope.If Mrs. Wang was still the beautiful wife in charge of the house, with a pleasant five-rank, and the concubine's birth mother, she might have sold Yingchun to change her face.But as Mrs. Wang was reprimanded as a sinful woman by the decree, and even implicated her sister-in-law in the palace, Tanchun consciously kept some distance from her, and tried to please the old lady more and more, hoping that she would not be called a sinful woman in the future. Raise a daughter, then she will be all over.

Just like Xue Baochai hoped that she might be able to climb up to Ningshan when she became friends with Yingchun, now Tanchun is also looking forward to meeting Ningshan. It stands to reason that the one who should be her cousin is just like Lian's second brother. , can be the backer behind her, but it's a pity that he passed away early, and now he has shown a posture that he is only willing to recognize the big house.

Tanchun only thinks that the second sister Yingchun's life is really good, and she wishes she could replace her if she is good.It's a pity that she can't replace her, so I can only try my best to befriend her, so that she can think of her when she goes to a party of famous ladies in Beijing, and take her with her, so that she can also make useful girlfriends.For this reason, she did not hesitate to conceal Yingchun's star-like status in the Ning family, so that Jia Shi and Jia Wang could not see that she held the Ning family's treasury in her hands. Their plan came true.

Yingchun has been taught by her mother for nearly a year, and she has made great progress in dealing with people, and she has become more accurate in seeing people.Xue Baochai is magnanimous and generous on the outside, and she doesn't show her emotions easily, but Tanchun is younger than her. Although forced by her living environment, she learned how to read words and emotions early on, but she is not good at concealing her ambitions. At least Yingchun can It can be seen that the current relationship between their sisters has been mixed with interests, and it is no longer a pure friendship.

Therefore, she grew more and more fond of Daiyu and Xichun, two younger sisters who didn't care about her.When she was suffering in Rongguo Mansion back then, the favored Tanchun hadn't fought for her, so why should she take the initiative to be used by her?If she is visiting the garden in Ningfu to enjoy the flowers, she can bring her along. If she has the ability to break into the circle of ladies, it is her own ability.However, when a girl from another family came to invite her, she would not rush to Rongguo Mansion to bring a group of uninvited guests, so she didn't have to cause trouble for herself.Yingchun is the most afraid of trouble. She was bullied by the nanny and her daughter-in-law in Rongguo Mansion back then, and she kept silent to avoid trouble. Now it is even more impossible to take the initiative to solicit trivial things for herself.

In a corner that Shi Taijun could hardly notice, the girls in Rongguo Mansion gradually divided into two factions. Xue Baochai and Jia Tanchun always held Jia Baoyu in their hands, and they had to consider whether every sentence would make him unhappy, so half a sentence They dare not mention economic and official careers; while Daiyu and Xichun prefer to talk about poetry and painting with the taciturn but gentle Yingchun.

However, among the sisters, Jia Baoyu likes to joke with Lin Daiyu the most. Although Xue Baochai is also beautiful and witty, but for some reason, he likes Lin Daiyu the most, who throws his face from time to time and makes the little ones ignore him.Daiyu herself didn't understand this point.What she didn't understand was that many times she didn't like what Jia Baoyu said or did, and wanted to quarrel with him, but in the end, she was inexplicably coaxed by him and went to play again.Not to mention that Yingchun Xichun couldn't understand, even Daiyu herself couldn't figure it out.

After all, they are still young girls. They have only heard a little bit about the relationship between men and women, but they don't understand much, and they are curious. It's fine to meet someone who is silent and weak, but now Yingchun is obviously spoiled and lively. , Xichun has a temperament that loves to laugh since she was a child, and now the Dongfu also values ​​her, and her sister-in-law Youshi comes here every now and then to give her some advice. Although it is not worth anything, it also shows that Dongfu still values ​​her The eldest lady's is kept in the West Mansion just to have more playmates.Xichun is still young, her temperament is not fixed, someone pays attention to her, is praised by others, and she has become active within a few months.Under the guidance of the two of them, Lin Daiyu, who was also eloquent and full of curiosity, was also provoked. The three of them got together and talked about Baoyu's strange temper.

Xu knew that she was still worth a lot of money, so she also lost a sense of loneliness and desolation under the fence. Today, Lin Daiyu's personality is a little more agile than when she first arrived in Jia's mansion, she is not so sad and loves to cry, and her health is also good. After a while, her complexion was flushed, and everyone, including herself, didn't know that it was because of the good ginseng medicine.The ginseng Yangrong pill that Mrs. Wang asked people to give her at will is not a good thing, even if it can't kill people, it can't cure the disease.Later, Jia She ransacked the second room, took away the remaining property of the Lin family and put it in the Ning family, under the care of Yingchun. Yingchun thought about giving sister Lin some good things from time to time, as compensation for her father's promotion to the Lin family. Loss.

Ning Shan never cared who those little girls were friends with in private, but she always responded to Yingchun's unreasonable demands. She proposed to get more good medicinal materials for that Lin's cousin, and Ning Shan ordered the steward to go out to find Jing The famous pharmacy in China dispenses medicine.Lin Daiyu took it for a few months, and she really got better.

The last time I went to Ning's house for a small gathering, Yingchun took her father's post and begged Mrs. Xing to invite an imperial physician. The sisters all had their pulse checked and said they wanted to change some pills. This time Yingchun brought them too. coming.There are ginseng nourishing pills that Daiyu often eats, and the newly added autumn pear tortoise paste, as well as the hawthorn and poria cream that Xichun often brings to appetizers when he is lazy to eat during the change of seasons.Tanchun and Xiangyun were always in good health, so there was nothing to worry about.There is also Xue Baochai, let alone her mother and brother, that is the famous "Lengxiangwan", which is novel and mysterious enough. With Haishangxianfang, who would want to change it to an ordinary homemade recipe? bolus.

On this day, Yingchun took Xichun to Daiyu's room early, and secretly stuffed the medicine box for her, and took away the useless medicine given by Rongguo Mansion in her hand. Under the embroidered orange service.Because Daiyu had to change the medicine today, she felt it was not good for her grandmother to know, so she sent away Zijuan from Jia's family, and left only the maid named Xueyan she brought from Lin's family, while Xichun took Dongfu with her. To put it into the picture, these three girls are all tight-lipped, and they are not afraid of being exposed.

For a while, when Zijuan came back from her errands, it didn't matter, but Daiyu asked her to see if the old lady was up and whether they should go to say hello.But Zijuan came to report that today Baoyu had a stomachache and didn't go to school. The old lady was asking someone to send the imperial doctor to show her.

Xichun curled her mouth and said, "How many times have you been sick these past few days? First I had a headache, then chest tightness, and today I have a stomachache. Sister Lin is not so delicate." No one who is weaker than her can win this beauty lamp, but Jia Baoyu can get this praise.

Daiyu listened, and reached out her hand to pull her braid: "Don't arrange me, what should I do to compare with him?" Jia Baoyu's dislike of going to school is also an open secret in the whole house. They are all "national thieves and beetles", how can a few sour Confucian scholars pay attention to them, that family school, let alone say hello.

Yingchun frowned: "I don't know why such a brother who doesn't think about making progress is said to have a great fortune. Where is this good fortune? Could it be that it fell on him out of thin air?" If their mother is the queen Well, Jia Baoyu can be a ready-made uncle of the country, or a noble concubine can get half of the royal family and relatives, but she is obviously just a concubine now.

Daiyu slowly sipped her tea, and said after a long while: "Students from a poor family and nobles from aristocratic families are two completely different people. They each have their own way of life. There is nothing wrong with it. Since Baoyu was born in a wealthy family, he does not care about economics. In official career, it is all right to be a romantic celebrity." Baoyu's poetic talent is still there, although it is not as good as her and Sister Bao's, but her rhetoric is gorgeous and emotional, and she is not inferior to the noble children of other families in Beijing. It is rare to write such a romantic literary talent.

Xichun said disdainfully: "I'm afraid he's only romantic, but not famous." The fourth girl is too young, in fact, she doesn't know what romantic means.But she had heard people say that his elder brother Jia Zhen was the most flirtatious, and if he was used as an example, flirtatious is really not a compliment.
