The Legend of the Long Room in the Red Mansion

Ning Shan held the tea bowl to her lips and didn't take a sip. She thought it was time to practice her wrist strength. He planned to see how long Yingchun could endure this silence.

Apparently, Yingchun who sat across from her was very patient. She already had a reputation of being "wooden" without saying a word, and now she has not forgotten her basic skills.What's more, Ning Shan just called her here without even explaining the reason, even if she wanted to talk, she didn't know what to say.

Putting down the tea bowl, Ning Shan sighed slightly, and finally spoke first: "Your sister is blaming me?"

Yingchun looked up in panic, shaking her hands again and again: "Why did big brother say that? How could I blame big brother? But what did I do wrong..."

Ning Shan raised a finger and shook her mouth: "Don't panic, I didn't mean to blame you, but I used you to spread the news to the Jia family because I was afraid that you would be angry."

Yingchun heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "What kind of use is that? Big brother is kind enough to tell me about the difficulties I may encounter in the palace draft in the future, but my younger sister is incompetent and can't control the little girl under him. Let her go out and talk about it." Well, tomorrow I'll just find a reason to drive her out of the house to do something."

Ning Shan smiled slightly, this girl is much more flexible, even her words are attractive, it can be seen that the foster nun did not invite her for nothing. "Since you're not angry, I'm relieved. It's just that I'm still a little worried about your restlessness, but what's the problem? Or who offended you?"

Yingchun bit her cherry lips, pondered for a long while, and Fang talked about an irrelevant topic: "Big brother, you said that if Cong'er did something wrong one day, I know, should I teach him to correct it? "

Ning Shan couldn't figure out what he wanted to say for a while, so she took the superficial meaning and replied: "You are his sister, if he does something wrong, he will naturally be disciplined."

Yingchun said again: "If I can't talk about it directly, what should I do?"

Ning Shan said: "Then tell me, or father, and we will discipline him."

Yingchun pursed her lips, and finally couldn't help but just said: "Then now, big brother is watching Rongguo Mansion doing wrong things and going the wrong way, why doesn't he say anything?"

Ning Shan was stunned for a moment, then realized, she couldn't help laughing: "So you're talking about this? Then why use Cong'er as an example? Cong'er is my younger brother whom my father brought over, so I naturally I can manage him. But what is the relationship between Rongguo Mansion and me? They did something wrong, how can I manage it?"

Yingchun bit her lip, her voice was a little blurry: "Since big brother has recognized Daddy, Second Brother Lian, and Cong'er and me, can't he recognize the old lady and the other sisters?" She knew the second room and the other sisters. My own filth, so I didn't even mention it.

Ning Shan snorted coldly: "It's not that you haven't seen the attitude of that old lady of yours towards me? Why am I rushing to invite an ancestor to come back for me?"

Yingchun hastily argued: "You don't need to be as respectful as Cong'er and I are, but occasionally remind her old man, at least don't let her go to death willfully, this is also for the sake of Daddy and Brother Lian. Forget it. After all, even though you were adopted by the Ning family, big brother, father and second brother Lian are still from the Rongguo Mansion. If the Rongguo Mansion is in trouble, how can the two of them take care of themselves?"

Ning Shan smiled and touched Yingchun's head: "You can think of this step, so it can be seen that I have not taught you in vain this year. Then I will teach you again now. Your Rongguo Mansion is a traditional and old force, the emperor's confidant of four kings and eighties For the public family, as long as the Supreme Emperor is still there, let them do whatever they want. It will be nothing more than losing their official titles and relegating their ranks to ordinary people. If they are more merciful, they may even keep their family property. When the time comes, they will go back to Jinling and become a rich family. Weng is not difficult."

After hearing this, Yingchun felt a little relieved. "It's good if you can save your life." As for power, although she also knows that it is a good thing, it is often the cause of trouble. Seeing that his father was and is now powerless, isn't it also nourishing?

Ning Shan watched Yingchun's face change, it was very interesting, she couldn't help but continued to tease her: "But the family of Rongguo Mansion regards power and wealth as their destiny, if it really reaches that point, they might feel that life is worse than death!"

Yingchun burst into a smile: "Isn't there still a big brother? Anyway, our father, second brother Lian, Cong'er and I are relying on the big brother. I don't have time to care about the others. At most, I can help and give me a hand." Forget it, if you can’t help, I still understand the truth about Sheng Mien and Dou Michou.” She would not try to persuade Ning Shan to help Rongguo Mansion, that family never knew what gratitude was, and anyone who helped them would be grateful. I think it should be done, and I even want to thank them for giving me the opportunity to contribute.Not to mention far away, just looking at how much property the Lin family and Xue family have been cheated into is clear.Even with the dowries of these two girls, the old lady and the second aunt couldn't reach an agreement to marry them.There is a total of Jia Baoyu, how many times do you have to sell it to be enough?For Yingchun, no matter which one of Sister Bao and Sister Lin rationed him, he would be considered wronged.After all, the second uncle Jia Zheng's family is completely white, sister Lin is the orphan of a third-rank official, and sister Bao is the daughter of an imperial merchant family. Which one is not better than Jia Baoyu, who is white and has no job and no fame?

Yingchun didn't hate Jia Baoyu in the first place. Although this younger brother doesn't like to study, he doesn't know etiquette and likes to hang out with the sisters, but he is rare and gentle. The last time at the banquet to celebrate the promotion of the eldest brother Zhen of the Dongfu, Jia Baoyu commented with a look of indifference and disdain, "The country's thief is a beetle", which made Yingchun very angry.Now there are only two officials in the family, her eldest brother Ning Shan, and her second brother Jia Lian, both of whom were scolded by Jia Baoyu in one sentence. temper.Taking advantage of Shi Taijun's absence at the time, he gave back on the spot: "If the officials in the court are all national thieves, then what is our ancestor? What is the old man? It is the second uncle, and you were also a few months ago What about the 'National Thieves'! The banquet we are eating now is also set up by Brother Zhen of 'National Thieves', since you look down on 'National Thieves', why are you still sitting here eating, drinking and listening to the show?"

Jia Baoyu, who couldn't say anything, blushed, even Xue Baochai, Lin Daiyu, Shi Xiangyun, etc. were all stunned.Jia Baoyu's theory of "the country's thieves and beetles" has been said for some years. Although everyone doesn't like to listen to it, no one has tried to correct him. Unexpectedly, Yingchun, who has always been the most gentle and unprovoked, was the first to take him out. scolded.Although it is said that Yingchun is older and is a girl from the first room, it is natural to blame the younger brother of the second room, but in Rongguo Mansion, everyone is used to centering on Jia Baoyu and will only support him and follow him. How can anyone criticize like this? over him?For a while, all the people at the table were silent, looking at Yingchun in amazement, Yingchun threw back the veil forcefully, and took Xichun to Ningguo Mansion.Her father has also come to support Brother Zhen, she wants to go home, so she needs to say something.As for bringing Xichun with her, it was purely because she was afraid that if she left, others would blame her best little sister.

Yingchun is still angry when thinking about this incident, and even made up her mind that next time she goes back to Rongguo Mansion to say hello, and leave after greeting, without staying for a moment.Now she is not willing to play with Baoyu anymore, she is the sister of the "National Thief Lubei", and she has no need to "sullimate" the innocent and pure brother.

What Yingchun didn't know was that she left out of breath that day, and the banquet was quiet, but no one comforted Baoyu.Both Xue Baochai and Jia Tanchun deeply hated that they were not born as men, so they could not go out and make a career, so they did not like to listen to Jia Baoyu's theory of ignorance; The third-rank Yanyan censor, a ten-year cold window, a career in officialdom, conscientious and dedicated, devoted herself to death, she would not listen to others saying that her father was not good at all, if it wasn't because she was dependent on others and dared not turn against Jia Baoyu, who was pampered by Shi Taijun, she would have When I heard this theory for the first time, I didn’t want to talk to her anymore. Today, my second sister sternly reprimanded her. After hearing this, she could only applaud in her heart. Someone should take care of Jia Baoyu long ago; as for Shi Xiangyun Well, she was born as a duo, and her family is looking forward to becoming an official every day, looking forward to her official career, not to mention anything else, but with a real shortage, and her family's financial prosperity, she can be a lot less popular. Looking at this advantage, she was also happy that both uncles could make up for the lack, but she always thought that Jia Baoyu was crazy and stupid, and she never took it to heart.Today, when Yingchun talked about it, she realized that something was wrong, so she didn't say anything to comfort Baoyu.

Jia Baoyu himself blushed with embarrassment and anger, but no one came forward to coax him, felt bored, pushed the table away and ran away.Xue Baochai wanted to yell but didn't stop, she couldn't help worrying: "The second girl is too harsh, I'm afraid the old lady and others will find out and punish her."

But Lin Daiyu said disapprovingly: "Baoyu will not sue in private. Now there are only a few of us in the hall, who will say?" In order for Jia Baoyu to sneak into the sister group and play freely, Shi Taijun specially ordered the maids to serve outside , so no one heard what was said inside. Although Yingchun angrily dragged Xichun away, and Baoyu ran out with a blushing face, they didn't hear the summons from the house, and none of the maids dared to go in. , only Jia Baoyu's eldest maid, called the attacker, was very worried about Baoyu, and chased after Baoyu, but after all, she was not as strong as the boy's feet, and she couldn't run fast, so she didn't catch up. After searching for a long time, she saw him go back to the room and face the bed. Lying down, he would not answer, as if he was half asleep, so he covered the quilt for him resentfully, and sent the little girl to tell the girls not to wait any longer, while he sat outside and sewed, listening carefully. Call people with Baoyu.

Xue Baochai and others sat in the hall for a long time, and they heard Xiren send someone to say that Jia Baoyu had gone back to bed and did not go to Shi Taijun, Mrs. Wang, etc. to act like a coquettish fool, and they knew in their hearts that the matter was over.Lin Daiyu let out a "sneer" laugh, and said: "Sure enough, he still has these advantages." If he really went to file a complaint, the second uncle must deal with him severely, and the old lady must stop him. It's going to be a big fuss.It was like this every time, no matter whether it was Jia Baoyu's fault or not, in the end everyone must be coaxing him to find fault with others.If you watch this kind of scene once or twice, you will feel panic, but if you watch it too much, you will get bored.
