The Legend of the Long Room in the Red Mansion

The newly rebuilt Rongguohou Mansion demolished the Baosha where the girls used to live and Wang Xifeng's inverted powder-walled house, and changed it into a double-storey sloping-roofed house in the style of a large flower, which is divided into east and west rooms. I bought Yingchun's residence.Jia Lian wanted to show his favor, so he asked Yingchun who was familiar with Yingchun to come out from the Anxiang Shuying Studio to help decorate the inner house, so Yingchun liked it very much when she saw it when she came back, and named it Qixia Garden by herself.After Xichun was picked up from the Grand View Garden, she was sent here directly.

Yingchun greeted the door of the hanging flower gate at the second gate with a happy face, grabbed Xichun affectionately and said: "Good sister, we haven't seen each other for a while."

Xichun was also very happy to leave the Grand View Garden, and a smile appeared on her usually cold face: "Then I will disturb my sister."

Yingchun dragged Xichun into the house, and said with a smile: "You are a distinguished guest, I can't even invite you here." Ever since the Ning Mansion opened the middle gate in order to accept the decree, the plan to close the door and lock the mansion has officially come to an end.On behalf of Ning Shan, Jia She received a group of military generals, and Yingchun also received many letters from girlfriends. Even Mrs. Xing received posts in line with her status, but they were busy moving a few days ago and never had time to reply.

Now back to Jia She's own Hou's mansion, the plan of inviting guests for a return visit should also be included in the agenda.Just the first thing, Jia She, who hadn't shown his face in front of Shi Taijun for more than half a year, had to pay his respects to his mother.

This is the first time Jia She has entered since the Grand View Garden was completed.On the contrary, Mrs. Xing and Yingchun were forced to guess lantern riddles during the Lantern Festival, so they entered once.It was also the first time for Jia Cong to come in, but Shi Taijun didn't intend to see him, he didn't even summon him, he just invited Ann and it was nothing to do with him, he waited outside until his father, aunt, mother and sister came out together, and went home.

Picking a holiday, Jia Lian and Sister Feng accompanied Jia She and Mrs. Xing to the Grand View Garden, and paid respects to Shi Taijun according to the etiquette.

Shi Taijun got the news early and made a good posture.Now she wants Ning Shan's credit to be given to the empress, so naturally she can't be too indifferent to Jia She.Even Mrs. Wang lowered her stance early, and waited in the main hall of Hengwu Garden with her daughter-in-law Li Wan, ready to greet Mrs. Xing.In order for her daughter to go further, she decided to endure no matter what Mrs. Xing said this time.

Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing also discussed this matter, and Jia Lian got to the bottom of it early in the morning, and they both knew that the Grand View Garden family was planning to entangle them again, and they were very annoyed.Jia Amnesty reprimanded Jia Lian, "I'm not afraid of anything here, you boy, pay attention to me, don't be disturbed by them, or don't blame me for kicking you out of the house." But in the end they are connected by blood.In this era, those who haven't released the fifth server are called close relatives. It is difficult for Jia Shen to succeed in throwing the Daguanyuan family away.

Jia Lian kept complaining, he was a junior, and Shi Taijun put down his face to pester him, what else could he do, he thought that when the master came back, someone could stand in front of him, but they still expected him to do so.As a father, Jia Amnesty is the first one.

Mrs. Xing, on the other hand, was very comfortable being praised by Wang Xifeng these days, and took over the task of dealing with Mrs. Wang in a big way. "Feng girl, don't be afraid, that woman from the Wang family doesn't dare to mess with me anymore. Now that you are an official's wife, and you have separated from the second room, what can she do to you as an aunt in the next room?"

Wang Xifeng smiled wryly and said: "Although she is the second aunt in the next room from her husband's house, she is still my aunt from her mother's house." Now Aunt Xue's family still lives in Lixiangyuan, which happens to be connected to Rongguo Hou's Mansion and The only passage to the Grand View Garden.Aunt Xue took her son to stay in Lixiangyuan, but Baochai lived in Daguanyuan. The obvious plan for a good marriage has already started.

When Aunt Xue brought her children to Beijing, it was under the banner of sending Baochai into the palace.It was just because Xue Pan killed someone. Although the prince was free to smooth out the matter, it still affected Baochai's selection quota after all.Also, Mrs. Wang was afraid that Baochai would divide her daughter Yuanchun's love and resources into the palace, so she took advantage of Yuanchun's favor and made a private move to lose Baochai's quota, so that Baochai could only grit her teeth and agree to the marriage plan proposed by her mother. .Anyway, Jia Baoyu is still a descendant of the Duke of the state, and has a sister who is a virtuous concubine, who is half the uncle of the country.

However, before Baochai could get used to it, Yuanchun was demoted by five ranks, Mrs. Wang became a scapegoat, Baoyu's gold content dropped sharply, and Baochai immediately became unwilling.In addition, following the girls from Jia's mansion to Ning's house to participate in the girls' meeting several times, which allowed her to see a wider world, Jia Baoyu, who was not very satisfied at first, only became more and more unattractive.

It's not for other reasons, but Baochai has the ambition to be a blue sky, and what I despise the most is Baoyu's lack of self-motivation.In this day and age, the status of women is low, that is, young ladies from everyone's background. Once they marry someone, they can only hope that their husbands and wives will be prosperous or they will give birth to a son who will be worthy.But Jia Baoyu obviously doesn’t have the qualities that Baochai can rely on, and the only bonus item has been wiped out because of the separation of the two rooms. Now Baochai thinks all day long about how to leave the Grand View Garden and live back in the Lixiangyuan go.At any rate, it was still Dafang's territory, if she could make friends with Yingchun, based on her face in front of Ning Shan, saying a few good things about herself would be better than anything else.

Even if you can't climb the big tree of Ningshan, it would be good to follow Yingchun to get to know more ladies from other wealthy families in Beijing. There are still some progressive children in the big family. Baochai has self-knowledge, and she doesn't expect to be the wife of a wealthy family. The eldest daughter-in-law, but with her talent and appearance and the wealth of the family, if she can marry the second son of a small official family, or the bastard son of a wealthy family who is willing to make progress, there is still some hope.In order to achieve this goal, the most urgent task is to get away from Baoyu as soon as possible.

Relying on the means of the money-spreading boy, Baochai, who had inquired about the days when the big house came to pay his respects, contacted Aunt Xue, and went to Hengwuyuan to pay his respects to Shi Taijun early in the morning, and then sat and talked, no matter how he hinted, refused to go.Baochai went to Xiaoxiang Pavilion early in the morning to talk to Daiyu.For the girls in the Grand View Garden, the closest friends to Yingchun are Xichun and Daiyu.Xichun has already been picked up and moved into Rongguo Marquis Mansion, so Daiyu will probably be the only one who will come to see her after welcoming the Spring Festival.As long as you wait by Daiyu, you don't have to worry about not having a chance to see Yingchun.As for how to set up friendship after meeting, Miss Baochai has her own way.The half lineage inherited from the Wang family and her outstanding talent and knowledge gave her more tactful and effective means than Wang Xifeng to please all those who were worthy of her dignity.

Full of reluctance, Jia Amnesty led the whole family to the Grand View Garden.The first stop was the Hengwu Garden where Shi Taijun lives now. When he entered the door, Jia Amnesty knelt down without raising his head: "I have not been feeling well for a few months, and I was afraid that my mother would get sick, so I never came to say hello. It's my son's fault, now I kowtow to you old man." Admitting the mistake first, lest Shi Taijun take the initiative, and then hold on to it is Jia Amnesty's first plan.

He knelt down, how could the others stand, starting from Mrs. Xing, Jia Lianfeng, and Yingchun Jia Cong, they all knelt on the worship mats prepared by the maids to pay their respects.What Shi Taijun likes most is the scene where everyone kneels in front of her and kowtows to pay her respects. In the past, she could see it every New Year and festival, but since Ning Shan came back from northern Xinjiang, she has been made a fuss by the big house for a long time and has not experienced it for a long time. I've had this kind of pleasure.

Fortunately, I remembered in time that I wanted to win over Jia She. Before he kowtowed his head, Shi Taijun hurriedly asked the most caring maid, Yuanyang, to help him up, and said: "Boss, don't kneel, you are sick. After more than half a year, now that you are well, you should be able to take good care of him, Lian'er, what are you still doing in a daze, help your master to sit down and rest." Yuanyang stepped forward to help Jia She, his movements were faster than Jia Lian who was close at hand. quick.She grew up with Shi Taijun since she was a child, and she understands the master's mind better than anyone else.

Jia She felt that Shi Taijun was being too polite, and he was afraid that this was a back-and-forth move, so he sat unsteadily, with half of his butt touching the chair, unconsciously straightened his waist, and silently added some momentum to himself: "The old lady of labor misses you. , The son really dare not be."

Jia Zheng stood up and waited aside when Jia Amnesty greeted Shi Taijun. At this time, he took a step forward, bowed and said, "My brother greets my elder brother. Seeing that my elder brother is now in good health, I am really relieved. I also hope that my elder brother will take care of himself, too." In case the old lady misses you." Jia Amnesty glanced at Jia Zheng with horror, since Jia Daishan died, this guy hasn't called his brother anymore, is this a bumper or a ghost?

Mrs. Wang also greeted Mrs. Xing with a correct attitude and a full smile. Mrs. Xing accepted it proudly.Afterwards, the juniors from the second room came up one by one to greet Jia Amnesty.Starting from Jia Baoyu, Jia Huan and Jia Lan approached once. Although Li Wan was his nephew and daughter-in-law, he was also ordered to wait here and greet Jia Amnesty along with the third girl Tanchun.Jia Amnesty nodded and accepted, Mrs. Xing called out, changing Yingchun and Wang Xifeng to their side, Jia Lian took Jia Cong and greeted Jia Zheng back.After tossing and tossing for a while, all the people finally finished the ceremony and sat down.

As the only outsider, Aunt Xue's existence is really an eyesore, but the Xue family is thick-skinned and low-profile when necessary, and under the banner of celebrating the recovery of the elder, they only say that their son is too old to enter the second class. He came to congratulate him first, and then asked Xue Pan to kowtow to Jia Amnesty at Rongguohou's mansion.Jia Amnesty hastily excused her, saying that the relatives of the second room should not come to his house.It's just that before these words could be ridiculed, he glanced at Wang Xifeng who was standing behind Mrs. Xing, and suddenly remembered that his daughter-in-law was also Mrs. Xue's niece, and immediately felt disgusted by eating flies.

Shi Taijun also felt that Aunt Xue was in the way, she was just trying to get in touch with the eldest son, so what's the matter with such an outsider staying here, so he said: "Second brother, take the girls to play in the garden Let's play, let us girls talk freely." In order to get Aunt Xue away, she had to get Mrs. Wang out as well.

Seeing this, Mrs. Xing also went out. It was discussed at home. The master was against the second master of politics, and she hated Mrs. Wang. One of Mrs. Xing's virtues is obedience, which even Jia She praised.

Mrs. Wang had no choice but to take the lead and went out. Aunt Xue and Mrs. Xing followed side by side. Aunt Xue kept praising Ning Shan and Jia Lian, Jia Lian and Jia Lian, and Jia Cong and Jia Cong. They praised her together and did not leave Mrs. Wang a chance to speak at all.

Li Wan and Wang Xifeng walked at the back side by side. The mother-in-laws had no room for them to intervene, so they could only listen.Ahead were two sisters, Yingchun and Xichun, holding hands, discussing in low voices where they were going.Mrs. Wang must go to Daoxiang Village where she lives to entertain Mrs. Xing, so there is no need for their little girls to follow.Xichun is introducing to Yingchun where everyone lives, so that Yingchun can choose easily.

As Baochai expected, the first stop of Spring Festival is the Xiaoxiang Pavilion where Lin Daiyu lives.At that time, Shi Xiangyun had already gone home, and the girls in the Grand View Garden became much quieter, and because Baoyu was bewitched by an evil spirit, no one dared to make a fuss for several days.Now that Dafang’s family came in, they couldn’t be quiet anymore, so Tanchun took the initiative to say: “Second sister, fourth sister, our sisters haven’t seen each other for a long time, so it’s time to have a good time. How about I be the host, just in Qiushuang How about a poem?"

But Xichun said, "Go and see Sister Lin first." Lin Daiyu's health is not good, and she fell ill for three days and two days. Who knows if she can get up and write poetry today.If not, she doesn't want to play with Xue Baochai alone.Xichun doesn't like Xue's family a little bit, thinking that they are too purposeful, and they are very utilitarian in seeing people and doing things. This is the same as Wang Xifeng, but Wang Xifeng is a big family after all. Because Xichun is close to Yingchun, she has never disliked her face to face. Wang Xifeng, but when it came to the Xue family, she was not so polite.

Yingchun heard the words, and agreed: "I'm not in a hurry to write poems today. We'd better meet each other first." Today, the master entered the Grand View Garden, but Lin Daiyu didn't wait to say hello to Shi Taijun's room. She probably fell ill again, so she did it Faceless.Yingchun was a little worried about her, so she wanted to go and have a look.

Tanchun got bored, bit his lower lip, and suppressed the tears that were about to burst into his eyes.No matter how the outside world changes, her life has not changed at all. When will such a life be the end of it!
