The Legend of the Long Room in the Red Mansion

Whether there will be a more unlucky emperor in the future is hard to say. Anyway, from the perspective of this dynasty, he is undoubtedly the most unpopular one today. The father who passed the throne to him regrets it every day, and always wants to drag him into trouble; The sons born by myself also want to quickly ascend to the throne, so that their father can also become the Supreme Emperor; not to mention that there is a brother and two brothers in the middle, who are looking forward to the Supreme Emperor's golden mouth. Woolen cloth.The Supreme Emperor also seemed to have this intention. For this reason, he even brought back the sons of the great prince who had rushed to the imperial tomb and had died there and buried them. The sons of the three princes who were forbidden to be pardoned were also released. Not only did they come out, but they were also crowned kings. Except for the iron hats, the princes and counties all went out wholesale as if they didn't want money. The mess was originally a pot The muddy court suddenly boiled even more.

In order to compete with the Supreme Emperor, the new emperor had no choice but to confer kings on his sons who knew they were very ambitious, and in order to show that he made princes even more honorable, this lacking emperor who had never systematically learned about emperors was in court. Put forward the proposal of imitating the Han system and enfeoffing lands for various kings.Of course, princes with fiefs can only be the sons of the emperor, and it is impossible for the sons of the overlord to obtain actual fiefdoms.The sons of the emperor thought that the idea of ​​the father was very good, the sons of the emperor and other grandsons firmly opposed it to the end, and the emperor himself was hesitant. If the sons of the emperor were driven to the fief, it would be easier to deal with it if they left a lonely family , but in this way, wouldn't it appear that the Supreme Emperor himself is not as noble as the current emperor he is in charge of?Moreover, the assigned fief has become a small imperial court, how should I reclaim the power?The emperor himself is not worried about this issue. Firstly, all the sons who are entrusted are his sons, and their biological mother and eldest son have to stay in the palace as hostages; secondly, he also knows that these sons all want the throne and unify the Central Plains. , rather than being willing to be a king of the mountains and fields, the land emperor of one side of the fiefdom, so sooner or later they can be merged and reorganized. Even the bastard dare not disregard the name of his father.

Ning Shan, who came up with an idea and disturbed the court, hid her achievements and fame, and continued to sit in the cubicle silently copying books, without a trace of guilt in her heart.Originally, although he thought of the idea, he didn’t make the book, and he didn’t show up to encourage the princes, and he wasn’t the one who gave the emperor a pillow breeze. He just accidentally told Jia Cong about the Qin and Han Dynasties He told Yingchun how the women in the harem stood out to win the favor of the emperor when the family was not strong enough. As for how the servant girl rewarded by Shi Taijun beside them reported to Jia Shishi How did Jia Shishi send a letter to enter the palace, and how did that Jia nobleman become Jia's concubine again? He never asked about it at all, and no one came to tell him the story.

After Yingchun finished her day's housework, she chatted and laughed with Mrs. Xing for a while, went to the small kitchen and ordered Jia Cong to be stewed with tonic, then went back to her room, and played chess slowly.She is a very patient person and loves chess. She can sit for most of the day with full concentration.Yingchun is already good at chess, and after being taught by the top female teachers in Beijing, her already outstanding chess skills have become even more outstanding. Coupled with her life of being respected and pampered for a year, her chess style has also been cautious and cautious. Turning to open and close, swaying freely, no longer paying attention to the entanglement of the corners, looking at the overall situation, like a sharp sword out of its sheath, cutting directly at the lifeblood of Bai Zichanglong, resolutely falling into Tianyuan, cutting off the white chess that is like a rainbow.

The maid, Si Qi, has been by Yingchun's side since she was a child, and after reading too much Yingchun's chess records, she more or less understood it. When she saw her young lady beat the superior white pieces with the inferior black pieces, she couldn't help clapping her hands and praised: "Young lady's chess skills are getting better and better. You are outstanding, I can’t think of any other girl who can beat you.” This means that the last time I went back to the Rongguo Mansion to greet you, I played chess with my sisters in a row, and I won consecutive victories against Xue, Lin, and Shi. Shang Shi Xiangyun even defeated more than ten sons, even against the prudent and experienced Xue Baochai, he won beautifully.

Yingchun slowly picked up the chess pieces made of high-quality Lantian jade, while pursing her lips and said with a smile: "I don't really play chess with them now, but one day I don't have to give up my big brother, it will be considered a true chess piece." Excellent." As he said, he stretched out his hand to take the hot handkerchief brought by Xiuju, and slowly wiped his well-maintained jade hands.

Xiuju waved to the two little girls to bring tea cups of snacks, and said softly: "The girl has been sitting for a long time, and lunch is useless, so I should take a rest anyway, eat a few pieces of snacks to cushion my stomach, anyway, the chessboard is placed on the table. There, I won’t run away, when can I play again?”

Yingchun put down the handkerchief in a good mood, and picked up the blue glass cups with flowers and grass patterns for daily tea. This set of cups is a fresh product brought to Beijing by the sea merchants. Jia She saw it and fell in love with it immediately. When she came back, it just didn't match the style of her room, so she reluctantly gave up her love to Yingchun.Since Yingchun rarely saw such a clear glass vessel in the Rongguo Mansion, she happily collected it, and only used it when drinking tea.

Slowly spent half a cup of Xinyang Maojian, and was persuaded by Xiuju to eat a piece of sesame crisp cake and a few mouthfuls of lotus paste crystal cake, Yingchun waved her hand to say no, and the little maids went forward to take away the refreshments and brought silver basins Handkerchief, wait for her to clean her hands.Yingchun got up, walked loosely in the room, and walked slowly, Si Qi supported Yingchun's arm, and said: "I'm sitting stiff, and the girl is not tired?"

Yingchun disapprovingly said: "What's the point of sitting for half a day? A real chess player can play a game of chess for days or even months. Originally, this game requires patience and carefulness. Don't be in a hurry." If you lose your mind, you will lose most of the money." Following these words, Yingchun seemed to think of something, and her originally smiling expression gradually became dignified, her brows were slightly frowned, and her heart was a little heavy.

After following Mammy for so long, why can't she see what the original home, the Rongguo Mansion, was like?And Ning Shan seems to be talking freely, but every sentence is thrilling, how can she not guess Rongguo Mansion's plan?However, how many historical books have recorded the merits of Conglong on the white bones.Dragon chairs have always been piled up with the bloody flesh and blood of losers, how can the Rongguo Mansion dare to guarantee that they can choose the right dragon?It would be fine if Sister Yuanchun had a prince by her side, but now she obviously has no favors and no children, and even the promotion is based on the word that the little girl rewarded by the old lady next to her thinks she has made meritorious deeds.In such a precarious situation, if you don't want to retreat quickly and keep your own home, but want to go into the most dangerous circle recklessly, this is really a shame, it is simply stupid.

The longer Yingchun left Rongguo Mansion, the more she felt incredible. She used to regard it as her home, and she only thought that everyone in the family was good, except for her father who was rarely seen, everyone had their own strengths.The old lady is shrewd and wise, the second aunt is kind and kind, the second uncle is upright, the elder sister-in-law is gentle and virtuous, the second sister-in-law is talented, and the second brother Lian can be regarded as a young and capable group that is different from all the dudes in Beijing. Qingliu, although she has little contact with the younger brothers except Baoyu, she believes that they are all good children in essence.As for the sisters, they were very close, and were her favorite companions in that family.Thinking about my previous life, although I was not taken seriously because I was not good enough, I still had a carefree and peaceful place to return to.

But looking at it from a distance now, everything has changed drastically.The old lady is domineering, the second aunt is greedy and vicious, the elder sister-in-law is wise and protects herself, the second sister-in-law is domineering and greedy for profit, and the second uncle directly becomes a sinister villain who spy on his father to gain status and property and secretly ruin the reputation of his elder brother. The gentle and gentle Baoyu has also become a reckless person who does not understand etiquette, is ignorant but selfish and ignorant, and even the sisters who are close to each other have their own thoughts. Each of them had a forced smile to cover up the misery in their hearts, all of which overturned Yingchun's entire cognition in the past ten years.

Yingchun didn't know whether it was luck or misfortune that she could see so clearly now, but Rongguo Mansion was striding forward on the verge of death, so she couldn't turn a blind eye.At least, the sisters in the family are all innocent, they have not enjoyed the life of a real lady from a famous family, everything revolves around Jia Baoyu, taking care of cats and dogs according to Shi Taijun's wishes, to show their kindness and nobility of.

But she still did as her elder brother wished. Knowing that the little girl Shi Taijun rewarded her was a spy placed in Ningfu, she also indulged her in sending letters, and even revealed many words and deeds of her elder brother.But how did the little girl know that it was deliberately designed by the eldest brother, even the old lady and second aunt of the Rongguo Mansion would also be fooled.Now, even if you don't hear the inside story of the imperial court, just looking at the status of the eldest sister Yuanchun in the harem, Yingchun can guess some of the current situation of the Rongguo Mansion. .Although she did not control all of this, her participation and help were also indispensable. Yingchun couldn't restrain the panic and worry in her heart, but she knew that her life was bestowed on her by her elder brother, so no matter what, she couldn't disobey it. Big Brother means.She can only do as much as possible for her elder brother, helping him with the housekeeping, so that he has no worries. In this way, she can also take the opportunity to make some small requests and let the sisters come over for a reunion, at least, before there is really a big mess that cannot be dealt with. , she hoped that the sisters in the family could live an easier and happier life.

Ning Shan understands the reason why Yingchun is in a bad mood. After all, she has indeed used her, and she may continue to use her in the future.But he couldn't understand Yingchun's apology to Rongguo Mansion. He originally thought that family was not good to her. Seeing that she became more cheerful when she arrived in Ning Mansion, with more smiles and an open heart, he thought she shouldn't care too much. Rongguo Mansion is.Unexpectedly, she would feel bad because of this, and she didn't get better for a long time.Why is it also ignored, even bullied and neglected, Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian can live heartlessly all day long and sit and watch Jia Shishi and Jia Wangshi run around for fun.Jia Cong felt like a fish in water as soon as he left Rongguo Mansion, and he was so happy that Jia She could change his name to Ning Cong.But Yingchun was different from them, looking at her depressed expression, it seemed that the Rongguo Mansion, which was extremely vicious in Jia She's heart, still had a place for her to be attached to.

For this reason, Ning Shan deliberately chose a rest day to invite Yingchun to come over for a heart-to-heart talk. She may not be able to use this girl much in the future, but she must not neglect the psychological counseling and let her suppress herself.After all, for such a well-behaved, obedient and capable girl, even if she married ten more concubines to Jia She, she might not be able to give birth to one.Remembering that Jia She, who had been in peace for a long time, wanted to pay a sum of money for brothel activities, Ning Shan curled her lips fiercely, and decided to finish the conversation later. The most important thing is to ask Yingchun to draw up a regulation immediately to restrict Jia She withdrawal amount.
