The Legend of the Long Room in the Red Mansion

Jia Zhen's face turned blue following Shi Taijun's words, while Youshi's turned pale. The two were generally disgusted, but they couldn't even respond to a counterattack.

When Wang Xifeng took care of the Qin family's affairs, it was a funeral. Because of Jia Zhen and Qin Keqing's gossip, You's family refused to come forward. Jia Zhen had no choice but to invite Wang Xifeng to preside over it.But now what they were going to do was a happy event, and this old lady used trivial matters to disgust the couple. Jia Zhen couldn't bear her violent temper: "Don't dare to bother Lian's daughter-in-law," Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian were childhood sweethearts. I knew Jia Zhen well when I was young, so Jia Zhen always called her Sister Feng or Lian's Second Grandma, but now she uses Lian's daughter-in-law who is not respectful enough. Those who don't know it think they are referring to the housekeeper's wife, " At the beginning when she was bothering her, she refused very much, saying that she was young and ignorant. Later, she asked Lian's second brother to help her to plead guilty, saying that she "has little knowledge, a stupid mouth, and a straightforward heart. If someone gives a stick, she will take it." He thought it was a needle. His face was soft, and he couldn't hold back a few good words from others. Besides, he hadn't experienced anything, and he was timid,' and said himself, 'after all, it's a mess, let alone a system'. I thought about it, and it was really difficult for Lian's daughter-in-law. At the beginning, You Shi was not up to date and was not in good health. Now that she is well, let her take care of it. First, it will not tire Lian's daughter-in-law, and second, it will save money Lian's second brother came again and apologized to me again. Now it's up to You Shi to make arrangements, and I'll scold her if it's not good." The words were repeated and beat, blocking Wang Xifeng's way to volunteer, and he put it in Jia Lian and Between Wang Xifeng and his wife, he resolutely supported Jia Lian's stance, which immediately made Wang Xifeng popular with a hibiscus face.

You Shi got up obediently, and bowed to Wang Xifeng: "Last time, I thanked my sister, and I have nothing to thank you. This time, I will take advantage of my master's time to buy a table of good wine and food. Thank you You." After finishing speaking, he said to Shi Taijun: "I can't say that I have to trouble the old lady to entertain the female guests for our house. I am also grateful here. Joyful. The old man in the house, hey, look at my mouth, the old Hou Ye also responded. And Ning Hou Ye, there is no such good relative, how much you have helped my family, is also Thank you. The date is set for the day after tomorrow. The old lady, the second wife, and Lian's second wife are free, so please come and have a gathering."

Shi Taijun grasped the key words by ear: "Boy Ning, I mean, Ning Shan is coming? Speaking of which, how did he and Zhen'er get to know each other?" He even gave him a big benefit.

Jia Zhen shook her head triumphantly: "Mr. Ninghou is extremely filial. I think it's because I usually show filial piety to my uncle and amnesty, that's all they give me a little noodle." She spoke modestly, but her tone of pride made Shi Taijun just want to pinch her. Die Jia amnesty.This rebellious son is getting in the way everywhere, why didn't he get married in the first place!

It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world, and even if there is, Shi Taijun dare not take it now. Today's Jia family is no longer the one when Ning Shan first entered Beijing. The Jia family is gone, Shi Taijun lost his power, Mrs. Wang lost her imperial order, and the prudence lost her official position. The two biggest backers behind her, Wang Ziteng, were transferred out of Beijing, and they were promoted secretly; He was promoted, but he also went out of Beijing, leaving behind Bowling Hou as a short-lived Marquis, even if he was willing to get close to Jia's family, he would not be able to help him at all.

But the Marquis Ning Shan, who was not considered by them at the beginning, is still the Marquis now, and she is the Marquis of the Third Rank Household Department Minister with real power, and she is also the one who made her own useless and notorious father The Marquis, and the able Marquis who made all three of the father, son and brother of the Ningguo Mansion into the army.Therefore, even if they endured being slapped in the face at this time, the Jia family had to post it.In short, Ning Shan finally had a weakness, or rather, the weakness that Shi Taijun thought he had found - filial piety to Jia Amnesty.

Jia She has been very famous for half of his life. In the first ten years, he became famous in Beijing because of the favor of his powerful father and grandmother who came from a family that even the royal family was afraid of. With his pretty face, which surpassed most of the ladies in Beijing, he won the "famous name" of an embroidered pillow; for another ten years, he was famous all over the capital for his incompetence as a dandy, and he was personally criticized by his own mother and father; , he washed away part of the reputation of dudes with "foolish filial piety", but he became the spokesperson of foolishness; now, he is once again famous in the capital, thanks to his invincible and talented Hou Ye The eldest son, although still adoptive and returned to his original wife's natal family, but according to the rumors, this young Hou Ye inherited Jia She's "filial piety", even though he has not seen him for more than 20 years, he still praised Jia She highly when he came back, Shi Taijun At this moment, he finally realized the necessity of Jia She's existence—without Jia She, where would Ning Shan be?They have fallen terribly now, where can they have a backing?

Fortunately, there is Jia She, although he is a little incompetent, but he can reincarnate and give birth to a baby. If he is lucky, he will want to beat him with a sack.If Shi Taijun hadn't been so old that he couldn't do it anymore, I would have wanted to whip him with a cane.It's a pity that the current Jia Amnesty has Ning Shan's protection, and has become an existence that can't be beat or scolded, and has to confess.

The Ningguo Mansion held a family banquet to celebrate the promotion of official titles. Jia She graciously sat in one of the two vacant seats above and below. This should have belonged to Jia Jing and Mrs. Jia Jing, but Jia Jing was stuck in the Taoist temple. Busy with flying in the daytime, she refused to come back after saying anything, and Jia Jing's wife left with a hemorrhage long after she was very old and gave birth to Xichun, so these two positions have been vacant all year round.This time, Shi Taijun thought that he could sit on the top because of his seniority, but as soon as he entered the door, he saw Jia Amnesty leaning on it carelessly. It's the standard of being filial to your father and grandpa.Jia Zheng heard Jia Zhen calling Jia Amnesty one by one as "uncle", turned his head and dismissed himself with "the second master is here", so angry that his beard flew up.

"Brother is too much, that seat is for you, why did you sit in it? Come down soon, you don't have to make fun of the juniors." Master Jia Er, who has always been polite, began to talk about the truth.

Jia She gave him a lazy sideways glance, then turned to Jia Zhen and raised her chin.Jia Zhen took up the conversation very politely: "Family law is greater than national law. Now Uncle She is the Marquis of Rongguo, and his rank and title are higher than my father. Don't say that my father doesn't want to go back to the house today. Even if he comes back, he will Please pardon me, sir." Jia Zhen's expression of "Although you are making trouble for no reason, but I am generous and tolerant" successfully made Jia Zheng's face red and green with anger.Looking at the distressed Shi Taijun, Jia Zhen sincerely felt that half of the nausea she suffered the day before yesterday had been exhausted.

Youshi greeted Shi Taijun and Mrs. Xing sincerely with an expression of "I don't understand anything". Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue and the girls went to the back hall. Yingchun and Xichun did not come out to greet them, but waited in the hall , because today it is said that Ning Shan is coming, Yingchun dare not go out of the second door, for fear of being considered unruly by the elder brother.At the same time, Yingchun is also worried whether Baoyu will mix with them again like before.Youshi is also afraid of this. Although all the people here today are family members, Youshi strictly arranges guest seats according to Ning Shan's habit that he learned from Yingchun. Men and women are separated. Jia Baoyu has to find a way to throw it out, although it is very difficult. , but the consequences will not be more serious than offending Ning Shan.

Sure enough, Jia Baoyu followed Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai towards the back hall with a natural expression on his face. Jia Zhen had quick eyesight and quick hands, and stopped him: "Where are you going, Brother Bao, and go to the front with your nephew to listen to the play. Today your sister-in-law will With an excellent team, the famous Yuchun Hall in Beijing, why don't you go and have a look?"

While breaking away from Jia Zhen, Jia Baoyu said: "It's the same when I go to the back to listen with my sisters." Shi Taijun also called Jia Baoyu: "Baoyu, come here quickly, go inside with the ancestor."

Jia Rong apologized and said with a smile: "Master Ning will come today, let's all go out to meet him. The old lady has reached her age, the two wives are also elders, and Lian's second sister-in-law is a female relative, so it is inconvenient to welcome each other. Let us go together. Uncle Bao also went to see Lord Ning. The one who brought him was Yushu Linfeng, a man of good looks, and he was tolerant of both literary and martial arts. I am clumsy and illiterate, so it is better for Uncle Bao to go to talk."

As soon as Jia Baoyu heard that Ning Shan was good-looking, he stopped competing to get among the girls. Shi Taijun also thought that it would be a good thing for Ning Shan to meet Baoyu. Ning Shan was able to support even the father and son of the Dongfu, so when she saw Baoyu's talent and beauty, how could she not like it?She only thought that everyone should dote on Baoyu as she did, and that no one would dislike Baoyu if they let Baoyu be indulged, so she agreed with Jia Rong.

Jia Zheng didn't really want to come today, Shi Taijun tried to persuade him to come here, and asked him to speak softly to Ning Shan, so that he could recover as soon as possible.He is still Ning Shan's junior like Jia Lian, and he is Jia She's son. He is unwilling to lower his face and bow down. It just so happens that he has Baoyu's step. Speaking of which, they are also direct cousins. Jia Zhen is much closer. If Ning Shan valued Baoyu's aptitude, she would naturally support him. As a father, she would be able to pick up a ready-made bargain without having to bow her head and lose face.

So, when Ning Shan accompanied Jia She into the door, she saw Jia Baoyu with a happy face and a middle-aged man with a square face behind him, who was trying to put on airs and at the same time try to ease the situation. A look of entanglement.

Ning Shan looked at Jia Baoyu for the first time, and it happened that Jia Baoyu was also looking at him in a nympho. She saw that Ning Shan was wearing a pure white hairpin and silver-winged jade crown on her head, and a blue shirt with dark blue flowers from Jiangya sea water. Wearing a jasper red belt, with a milky white embroidered ink bamboo purse, which was given to him by Yingchun Embroidery before, and a white jade carved bamboo flower and bird pendant hung on his right waist, black as ink, face like beautiful jade, eyes Like a star, tall and straight, thin and vigorous, a really beautiful person.When Baoyu saw it, he was more than half infatuated. He rushed up to see him, and said, "I have heard about my brother's name for a long time. It is really worthwhile to see this today."

Ning Shan was taken aback by him, and instinctively took a step back. This person is not in the wrong mind, he doesn't even take his life, he just calls his brother when he comes up, and it is worthwhile to meet him. Do you think he is some kind of immortal?Such a startled kid is Jia Baoyu who is so loved by the family. The jade he was born with was actually a stone thrown into his head.Ning Shan had a strange expression on her face, she kept backing away from Jia Baoyu who was chasing and bowing, but suddenly she regretted agreeing to Jia Zhen to come to the banquet.
