The Legend of the Long Room in the Red Mansion

After returning to his own palace, retreating everyone, and leaving only his confidant maid who brought into the palace to hold the piano, Yuan Chun let himself show anger and doubt: "Why do you think that Feng girl came to see me in the palace?" If the message of money is delivered, it should be Grandma Shi Taijun.Ever since Mrs. Wang became a criminal woman, in order not to let her mother lose face in the mansion, Yuan Chun has never met anyone in the big house in the palace, and of course, no one has handed over a sign asking to see her.

Baoqin couldn't think of the reason why the second mistress came to see the empress, but she thought it would not be too pleasant. In order not to be angered, she had to try her best to persuade her: "The empress is a king, she is a minister, and she wants to kneel and respect you anyway. What are you afraid of her doing?"

Yuan Chun slightly calmed down his anger, and his men stroked the hem of the phoenix robe, with a disdainful smile, he said, "Who is afraid of her? It's just people who don't like the big house. Forget it, anyway, she still bears the name of my cousin, so I give it to her." Save face. Baoqin, on the day she enters the palace, you go to the empress to bring her over."

Baoqin was naturally full of promises, not mentioning his own mother would not dare to see the queen more, even for the filth of the eldest and second wife, he would not give Wang Xifeng such a big face and let the empress personally lead him.

When Wang Xifeng was led by Baoqin to the side hall of Fengzao Palace, her face was full of spring breeze, with a pleasant smile, she knelt down and saluted, and said hello. There was no slight reluctance, and her eagerness to see Yuanchun was beyond words.Looking at that joyful smile, Yuan Chun instinctively felt chills. Since she was a child, Wang Xifeng had this expression when she wanted to please the adults and make her look good.However, Yuan Chun doesn't feel that the current Wang Xifeng has anything to please her.

It wasn't until Wang Xifeng presented the written evidence with both hands that Yuan Chun suddenly realized how disgusting he had made himself today.She wished she could tear up the thick stack of documents and throw them at Wang Xifeng's face, but the bright red Shuntian Mansion seal made her dare not do it.

Raising his head almost as if he was about to tear apart, Yuan Chun's voice was full of hatred: "You dare to threaten me?"

Wang Xifeng waved his hands again and again, pretending to be timid and panicked: "How dare the concubine threaten the empress, isn't it because she has lost her mind that she dared to invite the empress Feng Yu?"

Yuan Chun said strangely: "I thank you for the dedication of the eldest family. I will send the eunuch to announce the reward some other day. You can kneel down!"

Wang Xifeng apologized unhurriedly: "Whether it is counted as a tribute to the empress or not is not up to the concubine alone. If the father-in-law and mother-in-law ask, the empress must write a handbook to explain it herself." Famous for being generous, Mrs. Xing is the number one cashier in the mansion, she dares to steal food from their husband and wife, unless you, Jia Yuanchun, don't want to be a concubine anymore.Wang Xifeng has every reason to believe that with her father-in-law's fighting power, Jia Yuanchun can be completely thrown into the cold palace.

Yuan Chun was so angry that his complexion turned pale, he clenched his fingers tightly, but he hesitated and couldn't speak for a long time.She didn't care about the whereabouts of those things at all, after the family visitation was over, it didn't matter if the garden was abandoned, if there was another family visitation in the coming year, it would be fine to redecorate.It is absolutely impossible to make that unscrupulous uncle make trouble. Yuan Chun also knows the power of Jia She's nonsense, not to mention that now he has a title and two sons who are officials, but no one in his family is in court. The three of his father and son spoke in a fit of anger, and they didn't even have a chance to defend themselves.

But she also knows her mother's temperament. It is absolutely impossible to repay the money that has been taken into her hands. She knows how much Lin's family property was spent in order to pay off the debt of Rongguo Mansion. Now she says that she has taken over The second girl's dowry silver is not out of the question.It's just that how can he think of a way to get the best of both worlds, the most important thing is to appease Feng girl without returning the property in the hands of his mother.

Think about it, Feng girl wanted those things just because she was greedy for ink, and she couldn't really give it to the concubine's second girl. In this way, it would be easy to start, at most she could persuade her mother to share some with her.What's great is that it's half divided, and the mother can also keep a private house in her hands.In the future, I will still need the support of my mother's family in the palace. I must not let my mother feel cold towards her and cut off her wealth, then the gain will outweigh the loss.

Yuan Chun who had figured it out, or rather, Yuan Chun who thought he had figured it out put on a smiling face again, asked Baoqin to help Wang Xifeng sit down, and said earnestly: "I don't know what you think in your heart. Go back and wait with peace of mind, I will definitely persuade your mother to share the benefits with you."

Wang Xifeng's heart was shaken for a moment, and then he remembered Jia Lian's exhortations, and he pinched his palms, extinguishing the thoughts in his heart, and said to Yuan Chun: "Don't dare to hide your mother, my concubines do have greed, but those things It's not unusual, Lord Hou of Zhenbei is going to give it to the second girl. Of course, the second master Lian and I don't dare to make trouble for the empress, but that one, if he put it nicely, he would call us the second master. It's ugly, why put us in your eyes? Even the empress, you have to weigh her weight, right?" She actually didn't want to make too much trouble with Yuan Chun. After all, there is a difference between monarchs and ministers. She is also the imperial concubine Jia, and she, Wang Xifeng, is a fourth-rank respectful person, and she has not been mixed up enough to be able to kneel before a concubine, so she has to be more respectful even if she is superficially supportive.

Yuan Chun also knew that the biggest problem was not with Jia Lian, or even with Jia She, but with Ning Shan.But I have never had any dealings with this person, and my parents have fought with him, but they were all defeated in one blow. How can she, a concubine who is in danger, be able to bear the toss?

In desperation, Shi Taijun and Mrs. Wang had to take half of the 10 taels of silver notes that Shi Taijun and Mrs. Wang had stuffed into Baoqin during the last family visit, and handed it to Wang Xifeng, saying: "Mother, don't go there again." If you want it, I will reward you with some of my money, and it will be smoothed out sooner or later."

Seeing that Wang Xifeng wanted to object, Yuan Chun forced the bank note into her sleeve, pulled her closer and said in a low voice, "It's still too early for the second girl to be married, why bother to order the dowry now? Besides, the second girl is going to be drafted." Yes, if you enter the palace, how can you wear a dowry? Now that the palace has been wiped out with silver bills, it will be your benefit in the future."

Wang Xifeng was eager to move, but he was still a little scared and didn't dare to accept it. He put down the banknote regretfully, but his mouth was much softer: "The concubine also told the truth to the empress, and it is not the concubine who can make decisions alone. Yes, if there is anything, I would like to ask my mother-in-law to clarify it with my father-in-law. As for the written evidence, I will keep it, and I am not in a hurry at this time, I will wait for my mother's reply." After finishing speaking, I will not give any more. Yuan Chun turned against her chance and hastily resigned.Yuan Chun was so angry that his face turned blue and his lips turned white, but he also knew that it was difficult to cover up this matter, and he was afraid that something bad would happen sooner or later.

Unexpectedly, news of King Nan'an's defeat and capture came immediately, and everyone was paying attention to the war in the West Sea.

Immediately afterwards, Ning Shan was appointed as a general, and she left the capital city with her hastily collected supplies and soldiers, and went to fight in a sea area that he was not familiar with.This trip, the bad luck is uncertain, for the big family members who rely on Ning Shan to fight against the second wife who has a concubine, they all wither at once.

Jia Amnesty was the first one to go home and play autistic.He had lost a son in his early years, Ning Shan's twin brother Jia Hu, and not long after that, he lost his first wife. After that, he was crushed into the mud by successive blows.All of this started from Jia Hu's death, and happened one after another with almost no time to breathe. Therefore, in Jia She's heart, the death of the eldest son was an untouchable pain, a heart-wrenching pain that could not be healed in nearly 20 years. disease.Now that Ning Shan was almost forced out of the capital on fire, Jia She couldn't help but imagine the defeat of Ning Shan, who was not familiar with naval battles. One of the twin eldest sons had already died, and the other had gone through a lot of trouble. Today, if he is willing to get close to him as a father, is it necessary to break the bond between father and son?

Jia She's heart ached and sad, anxious and hated, he was incompetent, he couldn't help, his second son Jia Lian was also a petty official, except he could secretly check at the Ministry of Households to see if they were supplying the front line with food and grass in time, nothing else. powerless.Jia Zhen from the East Mansion also relied on her eldest son to obtain an official position. Let alone help now, he can still stand behind the big house without changing to the second house, even if he is affectionate, what can he expect?

The only thing he can hope for now, and the only thing that can support him, is Ning Shan's return in victory.However, the army that has just set out may not have reached the sea, even if it wins, how long will it be?

Jia Amnesty was completely broken.

He wasn't originally a character capable of turning the tide. From childhood to now, he relied on his ability to reincarnate.He was loved by his grandparents when he was young, and had his wife and Yue family as backers when he was young. After everything was gone, he also fell into a slump. It was not until his adopted eldest son returned to Beijing that he regained his strength.Now, following Ning Shan's dispatch of troops, it seems that Jia She still has the last trace of spirit.Before Ning Shan came back, this person was almost a walking corpse, but he was still breathing.

Faced with this situation, Mrs. Xing was even more numb than Jia She, and she was still afraid of the second room's counterattack in her heart, but she was not very worried about the front line.Firstly, she didn't understand these things at all, and secondly, Ning Shan was not her blood relative after all, so she was worried that she would lose her backer, and then she remembered that she should go to burn incense and pray for safety.

The only person in the family who is still supporting the director is Yingchun, who used to be weak and careless. Facing her distraught father, her aunt who is full of anxiety and nagging everywhere, her brother and sister-in-law who can only barely protect themselves when they no longer come to the house, and a man who misses his elder brother but In fact, the younger brother, who is too young and unable to do anything, is the only thing she can do to guard this family and take care of this group of family members.

Right after Ning Shan left, Yingchun categorically ordered to close the Zhenbeihou Mansion.All posts are not accepted, all visits are rejected, and all masters stay behind closed doors, leaving only a back corner door for the servants who buy goods to enter and exit.The Zhenbeihou Mansion closed the house and locked the door, isolating all the news in Beijing that is not known to be true or false, and also isolating the suppression or help of interested people. Except for the return of Ning Shan, or the decree, the gate of the Zhenbeihou Mansion is completely closed. Do not open.

Mrs. Wang was a little bit aggrieved when she heard that Ning Shan left Beijing. After all, Ning Shan's title of "God of War" in northern Xinjiang was not groundless. Mrs. Wang was afraid that he would make great contributions, and they would be out of breath for supporting the big house. Come.After Jia Zheng finished chatting with the Qingkes, Mrs. Wang immediately became excited when he came back and said this and that. She couldn't wait to hear the news of Ning Shan's death in the battle.

It was already very late that day, and it couldn't stop Mrs. Wang from crossing the garden and breaking into Ronghou's mansion enthusiastically.Wang Xifeng, who had only taunted her a few days ago, could only grit his teeth and shut up, listening to her counter-taunt, but he didn't dare to do anything more.Ning Shan is gone, Jia Lian is only a third-class runner, and she dare not face the empress in the harem, so she can only bear it.While cursing Mrs. Wang in her heart, while secretly regretting that she confiscated Yuanchun silver that day, Wang Xifeng never thought about the situation on the battlefield, let alone whether Ning Shan would fail and return.He had to win, and he had to win as soon as possible. He was the one who completely tore the window paper between the big room and the second room. Now that the trouble has come to this point, what if his biggest backer is down?

Now Wang Xifeng can't wait to fast in front of the Buddha in exchange for the victory of the Xihai army and return to court. As long as Ning Shan can come back victorious, everything can be redeemed.However, once this backer is gone, they will be completely reduced to the embarrassment of the second wife before visiting their relatives with the help of Jia She, an old dandy who has lost more than half of his life.

Wang Xifeng can never accept that the person she stepped down climbed back on her head. She understands the truth of 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, but she can't accept what happened to her.
