The Legend of the Long Room in the Red Mansion

Aunt Zhao had a beautiful idea, but she couldn't implement it herself, she didn't have that ability.So it was entrusted to Baoyu's sentinel godmother, a Taoist girl called Ma Daopo.

This person looks about 50 or [-] years old, with a kind face and kind eyes, and clean and simple clothes, with a bit of fairy air.He has always traveled among wealthy and powerful families, specializing in deceiving the wife of the head of the family, and occasionally fooling the favored second wife, partial wife, concubine, etc.

Therefore, Aunt Zhao had a very close relationship with her, and she gritted her teeth and became cruel, and gave all the 50 taels of silver that she had saved with great difficulty, and wrote a 500 taels of debt, in exchange for five paper hinges. The ghost came and took a paper figurine, and only asked Aunt Zhao to find a chance to write Jia Baoyu's Nian Geng horoscope on the paper figurine, and put the five ghosts on his bed together, and it was over.For the rest, she only practiced it at home, and it will be effective by herself.

Aunt Zhao agreed gratefully, and was told to be careful, don't be afraid!Aunt Zhao thought, if she really cursed Jia Baoyu to death this time, the furniture in Nuoda in Grand View Garden would belong to her precious son Jia Huan, so she would not be afraid, so she followed her word.

Ma Daopo did have some wicked tricks. She used the magic of the five ghosts and nightmares, and actually trapped Baoyu. At first, she used a knife and a stick, looking for death and life; gibberish.Tea, porridge, and rice couldn't be swallowed, and even medicine couldn't be swallowed.What's more, I don't know what kind of medicine to use. Although I invited the imperial physician with Shi Taijun's famous card, but I invited several in a row, and I shook my head after just looking at it.He also invited monks and Taoists to do the deeds. He tried all kinds of talismans and elixirs, but they didn't work.

In the Grand View Garden, because of Baoyu's sudden strange appearance, people were turned upside down. Jia Lian and Sister Feng, who were separated by a wall, couldn't do it even if they wanted to pretend not to know, so they had to go over to express their concern.Just don't say that they originally did their work with the idea of ​​perfunctory one or two, even if they really wanted to help, they didn't know what to do.

At this time, it has been three days since Baoyu's illness. Because Shi Taijun, Mrs. Wang, and Aunt Xue are not far away, they just cry around day and night.Jia Zheng was afraid that his mother would be ruined by crying, and he would burn oil and fire day and night, making people uneasy and losing his mind, so he said: "The number of children is determined by destiny, and it cannot be strengthened by human power. This disease is accidental, and there are various ways If the treatment doesn’t work, it’s God’s will, so let him go.” Hearing this, Shi Taijun cried even more, and Mrs. Wang even thought of her eldest son Jia Zhu who died young, and fainted from crying.This time, everyone wanted to disturb the two of them again, and the commotion became even more violent.

Shi Taijun really loves Baoyu, the little grandson, and the range of troubles for her is getting bigger and bigger. Not to mention the Aunt Xue's family who was renting here, even the Wang family who has already left Beijing sent people to look for them. Shihou and his wife also came to see it together, gave them water talismans, and recommended monks and Taoists, but it still didn't work.In the end, Gan sat with him for a whole day, and at night he said goodbye and went home, taking Shi Xiangyun with him along the way, in order to avoid adding trouble.Even Shi Xiangyun was worried about Baoyu and cried bitterly every day, but at this moment no one cared about her wanting to stay, so he was taken back to Baolinghou's mansion.

Jia Zhen from the East Mansion was summoned early in the morning, and her feet never touched the ground all day long, but all the servants in the Long Banwei who did not need him on duty were called to stand by in the Grand View Garden, ready to run errands at any time.Because the noble second master Zheng always cared about himself and was unwilling to work too hard. He used to drive Jia Lian.Now that Jia Lian has been promoted to a fourth-rank doctor and is in charge of the military pay and food in Haijiang, he can no longer control him, so it is time for Jia Zhen to play.

Jia Zhen was not willing to run errands for a boy of the same generation, so she wanted Jia Rong and Jia Qiang to replace her.However, the two of them used excuses to train early on, and Ning Shan ran back to the Beijing camp shortly after leaving the capital.During the first lunar month, the emperor went out of the palace to sacrifice to heaven, and Jia Qiang even ran with Luan Yiwei.But this year the Supreme Emperor didn't go, and Captain Long was useless, so Jia Rong had to be alone for a while.

As time went by, Jia Zhen became more and more dissatisfied with the unlimited deployment in the Grand View Garden, but Shi Taijun couldn't refuse the order personally because of his nose and tears, so every time he returned home, he either beat chickens or scolded dogs. , very bad tempered.You Shi also cried with him in the Grand View Garden, and would not go back if he could not go home.Jia Rong stayed at home alone, fearing that she would become cannon fodder, so she quietly ran to hide in Jia Qiang's house after the separation.Jia Zhen couldn't catch him, and didn't know if he was going to train, so she didn't dare to interrupt, so she could only hold back, cursing inwardly, from Shi Taijun to Jia Baoyu, there was no one who hadn't been scolded by him.

When the whole family was in a panic, Shi Taijun refused to take leave to look after Gu Baoyu because of Jia Lian's disobedience, and insisted on going to work every day. some ways.Wang Xifeng was sent to spread the word, but this time he entered the door, but Jia She spit in his face: "My son is still suffering in Haijiang, I don't care whether the son of the second family will die or not?"

Madam Xing spread her hands, and said to Wang Xifeng who was blushing and did not dare to dry her face: "Young girl Feng, you also know something, think about it yourself, is it suitable for us to go?" Jia She, who was furious, said: "Just look at the attitude and appearance of the master. Is it possible to show up?"

It was the first time that Wang Xifeng saw Jia She in more than half a year. This man with long beard, messy hair, ashen face, and slanted eyes was really frightening.If it weren't for the courage born since childhood, he would have been regarded as a fierce ghost and screamed out when he met him for the first time.

Yingchun handed over the warm handkerchief, let Wang Xifeng wipe her face quietly, pulled her back a few steps, and then said in a low voice: "Second sister-in-law, you should think about it anyway, where is the nephew next door who is sick, but called uncle?" The reason for guarding?"

Wang Xifeng wiped his face angrily and said angrily: "Why don't I know this, it's just that the old lady is using her eyes and heart, when did she talk about the rules and principles?" Jia Baoyu was treated like a star in the Grand View Garden, and everyone Everyone has to go around, the old lady is guarding the Yihong Courtyard in person, seeing Tian'er weeping and crying, who would dare not accompany her?

That's how Wang Xifeng was forced to come here, because she said: "Good girl, even if the master and wife don't need to go, if you show up a little bit, I can do business with you."

Yingchun shook his head and said: "I am serving my father, there is no reason to go to take care of my cousin halfway. At most, I will send some of the pills at home."

Wang Xifeng couldn't complete the task, and was afraid that he would be scolded by Shi Taijun when he went back, so he was full of anger and said: "Now the water and rice don't go in, how can I take medicine?"

Yingchun said: "That's something that the imperial doctors have to worry about, but I can't take care of it."

Wang Xifeng stood up, pointed at Yingchun, and said angrily: "Miss, now that she has become a member of the National People's Congress, her ideas are correct, so she can't listen to anything, right?" When did this sister-in-law become so tough?Even she couldn't move.How did Ermu, who was once so soft that it could be held hostage by the servants in the house, become as hard as gold and jade?

Yingchun lowered her head, looked at her cuffs and said, "I listened to my parents' arrangement, what's wrong?" The attitudes of Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing are here, so should she go to bring shame on herself?

In desperation, Wang Xifeng turned to Mrs. Xing, who was still a little softer, and begged: "Madam, at least try to persuade the girl, if Baoyu looks like this now, if you still don't even see her once, don't say that the old lady will be angry, the second lady I will bear grudges, if I really leave here, the second girl will inevitably bear a reputation of being cold-blooded and ruthless, will it be nice?"

Jia Cong couldn't help but interjected, "Leave your seriously ill father to take care of your cousin next door. Doesn't that sound nice?" As for Jia Amnesty, he didn't have a serious illness, it was purely a mental illness, so we can skip the point of self-torture. up.Anyway, the whole capital now knows that Rong Guohou is worried about his son and has long been ill.

Wang Xifeng glanced in surprise at this little frozen cat who had always been regarded as a little transparent, but now had the confidence to confront her face to face, and completely lost her voice: "Anyway, I brought my words, so do as you like!" After finishing speaking He lifted his feet and left, and when he went back, he exaggerated Jia Amnesty's situation more than twice, and described it in detail, only saying that it was similar to Baoyu's current situation.After waiting enough, I explained why the family of four couldn't come.

In her words: "When I passed by, the eldest wife was watching over the elder man and crying, the second girl was holding a bowl of medicine, and what was fed in hadn't been spilled out yet, Cong was like a scorched little frozen cat." I was running around, scared to death, unable to do serious things, and adding to the chaos. I am rushing back now, and I have to tell our second master to go there quickly." After finishing speaking, before Shi Taijun got angry, the king Madam shouted and asked, as soon as she pulled Jia Lian who had just come home from Yamen, she slipped away with oil on the soles of her feet.

Fortunately, the couple slipped away quickly, and just left, the next moment they heard someone coming and going outside: "The coffin and shroud are all ready, please go out and have a look." Shi Taijun heard this, like adding fuel to the fire, and scolded: "Yes Who made the coffin?" A stack of voices only called for the person who made the coffin to be beaten to death.Mrs. Wang became more and more mournful. Tanchun, Baochai, Daiyu and other ladies, together with her close maids such as Xiren, were all crying. Jia Zheng was troubled. , shouting and cursing again and again, the world was turning upside down, and when it was impossible to talk, I could only hear the faint sound of wooden fish in the air, and then read another sentence: "Nan Wujie Bodhisattva. If there is a bad population, the house is overturned, or In case of danger, or those who are caught by evil spirits, our good doctors can cure them."

This voice came from afar, never heard before.But the Grand View Garden is far away from the street, and the Yihong Courtyard is in the center, how can you hear the sound from outside.Everyone was amazed and a little panicked, but Shi Taijun heard this and called for someone to invite him.Jia Zheng was going out to greet him in a state of desperation, so he ordered someone to open the door. Before he could see anyone, he suddenly heard the sound of fast horses in the street, and a hoarse voice shouted with joy: "Great victory in the sea, great victory in the sea. Eight hundred Passing the book from a distance, a great victory in the sea. General Ning won a big victory and defeated the Qianxiang Kingdom on the sea. Great victory in the sea, a great victory in the sea, a great victory in the sea, eight hundred miles, a great victory in the sea." The voice moved from far to near, and the passers-by on the road dodged The fast horse waited until he could clearly hear the voice of the person who rode away in the dust, and immediately everyone showed joy on their faces.Those who reacted quickly have already cheered.

Jia Zheng stood there in a daze, forgetting why he came here.Only the four words "Great Victory in the Sea and Frontiers" are spinning in my mind.It was the boy from the Ning family, he had defeated Qianxiang Kingdom.The bastard boy who wholeheartedly supported Jia Amnesty and suppressed their second wife, not only did not die in the sea, but also won a complete victory.On the day he returns to Beijing, their second room will lose even their good life now!

A monk with a scarlet head and a crippled Taoist, who had been putting on airs for a long time, were waiting for Jia Zheng to ask him to ask, but they were forced to eat a stomach full of horseshoe ashes, and they were also stunned on the spot.This person who shouldn't appear has disrupted the whole situation, how should they report to Fairy Jinghuan?
