The Legend of the Long Room in the Red Mansion

Not to mention how the flustered monk Laitou and the lame Taoist cured Jia Baoyu of Xie Chong, only that the two emperors in the palace heard of the great victory in the sea and the border, Ning Shan not only defeated the navy of Qianxiang Kingdom, but also rescued the captured The captured Nan'an King and a group of soldiers even broke into the capital of Qianxiang Kingdom, and captured the queen and a group of royal family members back. They were all overjoyed.The credit for opening up the frontiers and cracking the soil is an impressive stroke in the annals of history.After being overjoyed, the two immediately tore up their hands over who should be credited with this great victory.

The northern border war that Ning Shan had to seal the town of Beihou earlier started when the Supreme Emperor was in power, but it was not won until today's succession. It was just that the Supreme Emperor relied on his own power at that time, and forced himself to be the leader of the war. One of the achievements of the emperor.Today's power is weak, so I can only pinch my nose to recognize it.But now that Ning Shan has returned with great victory, it actually happened under her rule.Today, he refuses to give credit to the Supreme Emperor for anything he says.

For this reason, he took the first step and issued an imperial edict to the Ning Mansion to promote Ningshan as the Duke of the Protectorate, rebuild the regulations of the Ning Mansion, and personally write the plaque for the establishment of the Duke of the Protector's Mansion.When Jia Amnesty heard the news that his eldest son had returned to court in victory, he jumped up, looked up to the sky and laughed, he was so happy that everything was gone.The whole person went from being startled and panicking to frenzy without even a transition, which frightened everyone who had been serving him.

Fortunately, there is news of Ningshan's great victory. At this time, Jia Amnesty is going to burn the mansion and no one will care about him. Everyone is smiling, and the women keep talking about gods and Buddhas. Thank you everywhere, Mrs. Xing He also excitedly declared that he would choose a day to worship Buddha and burn incense, and fulfilled his previous vow.Yingchun was so happy that she relaxed, she couldn't even sit still and spread out on the chair.Fortunately, Si Qi had quick eyesight and hands to support her, otherwise she would have slipped and sat on the ground.

The people far away in the Grand View Garden couldn't care about Baoyu's affairs for a while, but the monk and the lame Taoist did have two brushes. They told Jia Zheng that the jade brought by Baoyu's womb was the best cure for evil. Objects are not effective because they are fascinated by sensuality and money.In front of Jia Zheng, he read a long piece of poems, then teased him again, said some crazy things, and then handed the jade to Jia Zheng, saying that it was already alive and should not be desecrated, and hung it on the threshold of the bedroom. , Do not let the Yin people attack. After the 33rd, you will be guaranteed to be safe and get sick, and you will be back to the old days.

Jia Zheng did as he was dubious, and placed Baoyu in the bedroom, hanging the jade on the beam, and Mrs. Wang personally guarded it, and no one else was allowed to come in.Because Shi Taijun was getting old, he couldn't stand it after three or four days, so he went back to his bedroom in Hengwuyuan to rest, and only ordered the maid, Yuanyang, to check for news from time to time.In the evening, Yuanyang came to report happily, saying that Baoyu was conscious, yelled that he was hungry, and could have porridge.Shi Taijun was overjoyed, and regardless of his own nature, he came over to see the mandarin duck and crutches in person. Seeing that Baoyu's spirit was growing and the evil spirit retreated a little, he was relieved.

Accompanied by Li Wan, Li Gongcai and Tanchun Xichun, Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai and Baoyu's servant girls, they all gathered outside to listen to the news because they could not enter the inner room.Hearing this, he ate the rice soup, which saves manpower. Before anyone else could speak, Lin Daiyu recited "Amitabha Buddha".

Du Xichun ignored this, and only said to Daiyu who was chanting Buddha just now: "Sister Lin, you are thanking God, but it is also for Brother Ning's great victory in the sea. If there is, the two of us will go to Changcui Nunnery to pay our respects someday. Some time." That day, in order to welcome Concubine Jia to visit her relatives, there was a group of little nuns and Taoist nuns in the Grand View Garden, and there was another practitioner named Miaoyu, who was not moved out of the Grand View Garden like the others, and sent to Jia's mansion. In the family temple Shuiyue nunnery, he still lives in Changcui nunnery.

Xichun has a cold personality, and alone in the Grand View Garden, she has no relatives and no one to rely on, but she has had several contacts with Miaoyu, and she has a good temper, so she often goes to Changcui Nunnery.On the day when Ningshan sent troops to the sea, Xichun also went to Changcui Nunnery to worship Buddha and make a wish, and now she invites Daiyu to go with her to fulfill her wish.

Daiyu was full of shame and annoyance because Baochai laughed at her for attaching too much importance to Baoyu. When she saw Xichun handing over the steps, she was grateful and hurried to catch her, saying, "It is for this reason that I will go with my fourth sister." Only then did I realize that when the monk and the Taoist priests came, it was rumored that the city was full of sea victories.Because of the great momentum, they all vaguely heard the news of the good news in the deep boudoir.Now that I suddenly think about it, I have different thoughts.

Mrs. Wang heard in the inner room that the little girls didn't mention making a wish for Baoyu's safety, but mentioned that damned Ning Shan. She was furious and couldn't help saying: "Could it be that this person rushed to my Baoyu? Why is his good news?" As soon as the news came back, Baoyu suffered this great crime." Shi Taijun was stunned when he heard the words, and couldn't help thinking in this direction.

When Xichun heard it from outside, she sneered and said, "Brother Baoyu was sick with Xie Chong several days ago, but Brother Ning's good news has just come back. This victory was also far earlier than the time when Baoyu's elder brother was bewitched by the evil spirit, so how could it be called an offender?"

Mrs. Wang dislikes this fourth girl who is sharp-tongued and cold-hearted the most. She is just an Dongfu girl who lives in the Grand View Garden and is not valued. When her son came, she even made friends with that ignorant second girl who was devoted to the Ning family boy, and now she even mentions the Ning family boy's military exploits instead of her Baoyu's suffering. It's really hateful.

If Mrs. Wang hated the most, it must be Ning Shan; if both Shi Taijun and Mrs. Wang hated, it must be the big family backed by Ning Shan.It was not easy for Ning Shan to leave Beijing for more than half a year, and they stepped on Jia Lian and Sister Feng's couple with the grace and glory of the empress in the palace. Are you going to go back again?

Shi Taijun was also distracted, but what she was thinking about was whether this matter could help the empress.After their mother's self-examination, there was no further movement. The last time she entered the palace to pass some silver taels, from what the mother said, it seemed that she did not accept the favor.Now that Ningshan has won a great victory in the sea, can it be used to create momentum for the empress?After all, Ning Shan's family is still supporting Jia She, even if the two families are separated, he is still the eldest uncle of the empress, so his son should also do something for the empress.

Thinking about it this way, he ordered the people below: "Go to the next door and tell Feng girl that Baoyu is ready, and her second sister-in-law is a cousin, how can she not know?"

After hearing this, Li Wan agreed to invite him in person.The relationship between the two of them is not very good now, how many times has my mother-in-law, Mrs. Wang, humiliated Feng girl in the past six months?Now that the backbone of their big house is coming back, with Feng girl's aggressive temper, is there anyone who will not come back without revenge?She went over now and took the initiative to inform, which was also a gesture of goodwill.This mother-in-law is short-sighted and big-eyed, but don't drag down her precious son Jia Lan because of her.If Dafang had a grudge against them, he could easily ruin Jialan's future. She is a widow, and now she has only one hope left, and she must not let anyone hinder him.

As soon as he went to Ronghou's mansion, he saw Wang Xifeng commanding his servants to clean up with a happy face, and ordered to prepare a heavy gift, and to go to Ning mansion.Although the imperial decree has not yet come down, I personally know that such a great military exploit cannot be without a reward.Only the Grand View Garden run by their obstinate Mrs. Wang was silent. The other families, even if they had different political views, would not remain silent at this time.

Seeing Li Wan, Wang Xifeng didn't give him a cold face, but he didn't give him warm hospitality either.Naturally, Li Wan didn't mind. He first congratulated Ning Shan for his meritorious service, and then said that Jia Lian's military preparations were well planned this time, and that he would be promoted in the future, and he would be more happy when he praised Wang Xifeng highly, so he pretended to be smooth He brought up Baoyu's improvement.It's just that she also blamed Ning Shan on this matter, and said: "Uncle Ning's victory, even Baoyu has benefited, and today he has improved a lot, and he can eat rice soup. Seeing that he is getting better. "

Wang Xifeng flicked the handkerchief, and said proudly: "That's not the case. After the defeat of the King of Nan'an, everything went wrong. I heard from our second master that even the heavy snow in last winter collapsed many houses. It was quite troublesome. It's time. Now that it's spring, everything is going well, so what's the matter with me? But it turns out that our uncle won the great victory." Now Wang Xifeng can't care less about wondering whether Jia Amnesty will benefit Ning Shan, who was rushing up, shouting one after another, shouting "big brother" one after another, is determined to cling to this noble family.

What's the use of having a concubine who doesn't lay eggs in the palace?An upright and victorious general is the powerful backer of the court. The second master of their family, Lian, had entrusted Ning Shan's blessing to get a real child earlier, and it may not have nothing to do with his promotion later. It is necessary to congratulate them, maybe their second master Lian can also follow suit, how can Wang Xifeng bear the urgency to go to Mrs. Wang immediately to be frightened and go back?

The daughters of the Wang family are generally short-sighted and vengeful. No matter how Mrs. Wang punished Sister Feng in the past, she dares to ridicule her back now. The Wang family never pays attention to a gentleman's revenge. It is not too late for ten years. What they used to do is what to eat You don’t suffer a loss, and if you suffer a loss, you have to pay it back together with the interest.

Li Wan knew that Wang Xifeng was determined to take revenge on Mrs. Wang, so he took the initiative to invite Ying to talk to her, in order to remind her of Mrs. Wang's plan first, so that Wang Xifeng would not suffer recklessly.Therefore, after gesturing to the left and right, Wang Xifeng's eyes were bright, and she knew that Li Wan had something to say, so she said to Ping'er: "It's rare that grandma comes to my place, why don't you go and buy some good food and wine?" Ping'er obediently withdrew By the way, he sent all the other little maids away, leaving himself and Li Wan's big maid, Suyun, to guard the door and not let anyone in.

Seeing that she and Sister Feng were the only ones left in the room, Li Wan said in a low voice, "Let me remind you first, which one of us," he stretched out his hand to compare two, and then said, "It seems that Baoyu If you have a conflict with Uncle Ning, Uncle Ning will be the one to attack you this time. When you pass by, be careful what you say."

Wang Xifeng stood up suddenly with a pair of red phoenix hanging eyes, threw the handkerchief on the kang table, and hummed: "I have never heard of the reason why two people who are so far apart can collide. This is really precious." It's amazing, even the general has to back down. What a shame!"

Li Wan thought to himself, "Who says it's not?"It was born with a title jade, and everyone in the capital knew about it, how many jokes were made by boasting about one mouthful of great fortune?Ever since Catch Zhou, she has been a flirtatious young man, but everyone treats her like an eyeball, overpowering Lan'er, the eldest son of her first wife and eldest grandson, but how can she reason?

The two of them were silent for a while, Wang Xifeng only thought about how to lose face of Mrs. Wang and make her lose face, while Li Wan slightly hated Shi Taijun and Mrs. Wang for being unfair to Jia Lan.There was resentment in each of the two hearts, and then they became more and more intimate while talking over food and wine.

Li Wan only lingered in Ronghou's mansion for more than an hour before going back. Because she was careful, she only drank a few cups, and because she was not noticed, when she answered, she only said: "Feng girl is very busy, she is cleaning up. The gift was going to be sent to the Ning Mansion, and I heard that the old man had recovered a lot. He was discussing with the second master Lian about going over to pay his respects. He might stay for a few more days to serve the sick, so he couldn't come over. But she I heard that Baoyu was healed and he also recited the Buddha's name, so I just thank God, and when I have time in the future, I will definitely come and have a look."

Mrs. Wang was furious when she heard this, but Shi Taijun's face darkened, his eyes rolled, and he had other thoughts.
