The Legend of the Long Room in the Red Mansion

Sitting in the main room of Hengwuyuan, Shi Taijun sighed and asked Jia Zheng to get up and sit down: "Zhenger, you talk, alas, it's all my fault for teaching you to be too upright..."

Jia Zheng was still in a daze: "Old lady, didn't we agree, today we're going to talk about helping the empress, and mine...how could it be related to marriage?"

Shi Taijun sighed again, since Jia Daishan left, she has occupied the top of the Rongguo Mansion and has been domineering for more than [-] years, and she has long forgotten how to coax Jia Amnesty with soft words, and negotiate with her calmly.After getting used to his one-sidedness and Jia She's cowardice and weakness, he no longer knows how to talk to him.She obviously has a great opportunity today, but she made such a sudden mess, and she is also regretting it.

Jia Zheng was still asking for an explanation: "Old lady, look, what should we do next?"

Shi Taijun looked up at his youngest son who still seemed to have not been weaned, and sighed again: "Don't worry about it, let's talk about it later." She had no idea for a while, but it was hard to tell her son.

Jia Zheng was obedient, said "Hey" and left.

Shi Taijun looked at the empty hall, then turned his head to look at the maid who was pretending to be deaf and dumb, finally sighed, and lay down with his eyes closed.

Yuanyang stepped forward quietly, and silently served Shi Taijun to wipe her forehead and put some heavy jewelry on her head, and rubbed her temples for her.Shi Taijun closed his eyes and asked Yuanyang, "What excuse do you think you should use to ask the boss to come over next time?"

Yuanyang said in a low voice: "There is no room for servants to intervene in the affairs of the masters. It's just that tomorrow is the ear, so it should not be difficult to invite the second girl and the second mistress."

Shi Taijun gave a "hmm" and said, "Arrange suitable people and invite them over. Prepare a family banquet and put it in my room." Jia Amnesty was at a loss for what to do, so he could only try Mrs. Xing Can the two of them, Yingchun and Yingchun, become a breakthrough.

Early in the morning of the second day, Jia She woke up from the wine, stretched his waist and went out, and saw the housekeeper Lin Zhixiao waiting in front of the hall with a strange face, and asked, "It's so early in the morning, why are you holding back your face?" Who sees?"

As soon as Lin Zhixiao saw the master coming out, he hurriedly bowed to salute, greeted the master, and then replied: "I am about to come back to the master, yesterday the Xue family sent a post, saying that Master Xue knows that the master is well, and wants to come over to say hello."

Jia Amnesty froze when he was half stretched, and then remembered that the Xue family was also related to his second daughter-in-law, so he said angrily, "Why didn't the master come to pay his respects when he was unwell? Now that he is well, who cares about him coming to pay his respects?"

Lin Zhixiao slandered: You always pretend to be sick, and the whole capital knows that you don't want to see people. Who would rush to post a cold ass?But he said in his mouth: "Didn't the master stay behind closed doors in Ninghou's mansion at that time, the Xue family was not allowed to enter even if they wanted to ask for peace."

Jia Lian got up early in the morning and was going to come over to see how his father was sober. When he entered the gate of Rongxi Hall, he heard Lin Zhixiao's words and asked curiously, "Idiot Xue is coming?" Although his wife, Sister Feng, She is the cousin of Xue Pan and Xue Baochai, but in fact he is not familiar with them at all.After Xue Dafool ​​came to Jia's house, he went to the family school to hang out for a while, but he was more familiar with the people there than Baoyu.

Jia She glanced at Jia Lian and said, "Where is this place to be a master, come here as soon as you say it? You also take care of your daughter-in-law, don't let your relatives stay in the mansion." Lixiangyuan is still the territory of Rongguohou's mansion. , although it is a detached courtyard, it also has its own way in and out, and it doesn't hinder anyone's business, but what's the matter living in Xue's house?

Jia Lian replied: "When the second master was still there, the old lady herself opened her mouth to keep it. Now it's not easy to get rid of it. The Xue family is also safe. I haven't heard of any troubles." Since entering the household department, He was so busy with all his feet, those friends who used to drink and eat had already cut off contact, even if Xue Da fool caused trouble, he might not know it.It's just that Sister Feng is worried about moving the Xue family's money, so they don't drive them away.

Jia Amnesty stretched again, looked at Lin Zhixiao who was still hunched over waiting for an answer, and said, "Go back, master doesn't have so much free time to meet irrelevant people." Lin Zhixiao agreed, and retreated away.

Jia Lian greeted Jia Amnesty and asked, "Is the master sober? Is there any discomfort? Can you call the imperial doctor to take a look?"

Jia Amnesty rolled his eyes: "Others don't know, you don't know, I'm not sick at all!"

Jia Lian thought to himself, "Aren't you just thinking about your son's heart disease? Now that he is coming back, you will be fine."Thinking about it, I couldn't help feeling sour in my heart, and said angrily: "It's good that the master is fine. Your daughter-in-law has something to ask the master for instructions, and let your son pass it on."

Jia Amnesty said curiously: "Let's listen to it." When will his daughter-in-law ask him to do something?

Jia Lian said: "In the Grand View Garden next door, the old lady wants to serve wine, offer sacrifices to mango seeds, and reward the God of Flowers. She asks the girls and grandmothers to come over. She doesn't know if your boss will allow it? So she asks her son to ask for instructions."

Jia Amnesty didn't care about these nonsense things: "Ask your wife." After saying that, he went back to the room with his hands behind his back. Although he was sober from the wine, his anger was still there, and he didn't want to hear about the next door for a while.

Jia Lian had no choice but to go back and tell Sister Feng to ask her wife for instructions.Sister Feng rushed to serve Mrs. Xing for breakfast. When she was satisfied with the service, she asked in a low voice. Mrs. Xing was shocked: "There was such a commotion yesterday, are you here to invite someone today?" This old lady is really amazing. , The heart is too big.

Sister Feng said with a bitter face: "The master doesn't know clearly, and the daughter-in-law doesn't dare to be good at it, so I ask my wife to give me an idea."

Mrs. Xing shook her head and said: "Anyway, I'm not invited, and I won't go. You can ask whoever you invite."

Sister Feng said: "The amber that the old lady needs to use has come to pass the message in person, and let the daughter-in-law and the girls go there."

Mrs. Xing pushed away the dishes in front of her, got up and walked out: "Then you can ask the girls to see if they will go." After speaking, she walked around the screen and went into the flower hall.Sister Feng couldn't chase into the inner room, so she had to go to Yingchun as ordered.She doesn't like to move, but she doesn't know whether Yingchun and Xichun are willing to go.

Yingchun heard that Jia Amnesty didn't care about the matter, so she said, "Since the master doesn't object, we'd better go there."

Sister Feng said: "Good girl, please greet the old lady for me. Just say that you caught a cold last night, and you are afraid of getting sick, so you won't go today."

Yingchun pursed her lips and smiled: "Okay, I'll just break it up for the second sister-in-law." After finishing speaking, she went back to the house to find Xichun, the two sisters washed and washed together, picked out excellent clothes and jewelry, and dressed up like peaches, swallows and warblers. , Fang joined hands in a car with eight treasures of emerald green cover and pearl tassels, and went to the Grand View Garden together.

After entering the garden, first go to Hengwu Garden to greet Shi Taijun.Shi Taijun was very kind, so he skipped the ceremony and pulled him to his side to caress a few times. After loving them for a while, he asked them to go and play with their sisters and come over for a banquet at noon.

When Yingchun and Xichun arrived in the garden, they saw Tanchun, Li Wan, Baochai and Xiangling playing with the maidservants in the garden, but Daiyu was not seen.When everyone saw the two sisters, they rushed forward and said, "What happened yesterday? What happened?" Baochai went home and asked her mother, but she didn't know what happened. The master and three people are in the room, and the other is the mandarin duck who is serving him personally. I can't find out the reason.

Yingchun said: "It's nothing, it's over now, by the way, why didn't Sister Lin disappear? Is she still not well today? Or is she still sleeping at this hour?"

Baochai laughed and said, "Wait, I'll make trouble with her." Then he left the crowd and walked straight to Xiaoxiang Hall.Seeing that she had gone far away, Yingchun said, "Let's tie the flower tree first, and wait for the two of them to come over." They all used colored thread together. Tie petals and willow branches to make sedan horses, or use silk and brocade gauze to make Ganyan banners and other things, and tie every tree and every flower full.All of a sudden, the fragrant wind blows in the garden, the embroidery ribbons are fluttering, and the flowers are blooming. Moreover, all the girls are stunning in the world, and the people and the scenery complement each other, making them more brilliant.

Xichun was thinking of making a painting, so Li Wan arranged for someone to clean the pavilion and prepared pens, inks and paints for her.Tanchun talked to Yingchun about Baoyu's bewitching, and asked her to go to Yihong Courtyard with her.Yingchun thought about it and agreed.The two said hello to Li Wan, and took their maids with them to the Yihong Courtyard.

Because Baoyu was bewitched at that time, she only said that no one could bump into her, so she didn't see anyone except the woman sent by Mrs. Wang.After Yingchun and Tanchun passed, they only greeted each other through the screen in the outhouse, and planned to leave after sitting for a while.Pian Baoyu is a girl who loves to work hard on girls. Because of the evil spirit, he is not allowed to play and joke with the sisters and maids for 33 days. This is more uncomfortable for him than being enchanted by the evil spirit again.Finally, the second sister and the third sister came, but they were about to leave without seeing each other, and they immediately made a fuss in the room.

In Baoyu's eyes, the mother-in-law is a vulgar fish-eyed bead, and she doesn't need to be treated tenderly. In the young master's temper, ordering them to keep the second and third sisters to talk with him is not counted. The more willful they become, they even ask Sister Lin to come and talk to him talk and laugh.

Knowing that Baoyu has ruined the reputation of the sisters in the Grand View Garden, Yingchun has hated him for a long time. She came here today, but she couldn't refuse to take a look. Seeing that he is still selfish and messing around at this time, she can't help getting angry: " It's fine for you to mess around with people outside on weekdays, and you do the same at home, why should we just joke around with you?"

Baoyu in the inner room and Tanchun in the outer room were stunned at the same time, and Xue Baochai, who had found Lin Daiyu and came to look for Yingchun together, was also stunned outside the house.How could someone talk to Jia Baoyu, who was like a phoenix egg, like this, and it was not someone else, but Yingchun, who was recognized as the most temperless.What did Baoyu do to offend her so far?
