The Legend of the Long Room in the Red Mansion

Everyone was chatting and laughing, but suddenly they saw Yuanyang, the most important maid by Shi Taijun's side, walking in: "The old lady is passing on the girls, please go over quickly."

Yingchun was taken aback: "We invited An back just now, why are we meeting again at this time?"

Lin Daiyu also got up and asked, "But what orders does the old ancestor have?"

Yuanyang lowered his eyebrows and explained the reason: "The ancestor is in a good mood today, and wants to go for a walk in the newly built garden, and ask all the girls to go and relax."

Xue Baochai was a little surprised, and asked in a low voice: "I just heard that the second master called Baoyu and brought Qing guests into the garden to visit. How can we get in at this time?" Even if Jia Zheng and Jia Baoyu are not outsiders, the Qing people How do you count as a guest?Could it be that they are allowed to be seen by these ladies at will?

Yuanyang is just a messenger, how do you know what Shi Taijun is thinking: "This servant doesn't know, anyway, the ancestors must have arrangements, girls are all precious, just go, and they won't be bumped."

Thinking about it, it was also the same reason, Shi Taijun himself couldn't let Qingke look at it casually, or if the old lady insisted on tossing, it would be useless for them to object, so they got up one by one and walked out in order of age, with the mandarin ducks bowing their heads in front Leading the way, all the sisters followed silently, each with their own thoughts.

Yingchun is thinking again, don't just talk about her father because of her, the old lady is going to try to cheat her father.For example, let them go to see the empty garden, and then sigh that the family cannot make ends meet, so that she can take the initiative to ask her to persuade her father to donate the warehouse?Stop joking, when will she be able to control her father?If one day her father really listens to her command, I'm afraid that her elder brother can become the emperor.Yingchun slandered secretly, but also warned herself to be more vigilant.

Coincidentally, Xue Baochai was thinking exactly the same as Yingchun. She felt that the old lady wanted to plot against other people's warehouses again, and she was secretly on guard. At the same time, she was worried that her mother would be invited to the garden, and she herself would not be caught easily. But her solid-eyed mother may not be sure, and their family lives in the Rongguo Mansion now, and they still want to take the power of the Rongguo Mansion to send her into the palace, so they dare not offend easily. Someone "borrowed" a batch of property that was never returned.Xue Baochai hastily unscrewed the side of the handkerchief, at this moment she really hated that she was not as delicate and weak as Lin Daiyu, if she could pretend to be sick and go home to rest, she would be able to avoid this time no matter what.

Lin Daiyu also had the same idea as the two. She knew that she still had a fortune, most of which were valuable calligraphy and paintings and antiques. I just use her things to make up for. Although she said that she can't change anything if she is worried or not, she still has a hope that at least there will be someone in this family who is willing to treat her sincerely. On the 360th, the wind, the sword, the frost and the sword are pressing each other severely, and I am afraid that there will be no way out.

Compared with the three people who have their own concerns, Tanchun and Xichun are much calmer. They are nothing more than going around the garden with the old lady for fun, just prepare a few more auspicious words.Xichun thought more directly, if someone had malicious intentions, she would just go back to Ningguo Mansion directly from Huifang Garden.Now she can be regarded as being supported by someone. The elder brother Jia Zhen almost gave her to the second sister's house in order to please the elder brother of the Ning family. The so-called being proud of being favored is a human instinct. Seeking her appearance, I am happy to use it to give myself some convenience and comfort.

The group arrived at the Rongxi Hall without a word, and greeted them again, and then saw Shi Taijun smiling and kindly telling them to excuse themselves, their own flesh and blood, don't need to pay attention to anything.The girls were not so stupid as to take this seriously, they all bowed before raising their heads slightly, and saw Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang sitting on the left and right of Shi Taijun, and their respective daughter-in-laws stood behind them. It was as if the three halls were gathered together, and they were about to start singing.Yingchun obediently walked to Mrs. Xing's side. She wanted to stand, but was pulled to sit down.Tanchun went to Mrs. Wang, and was sat down with a smile on her face. Lin Daiyu was always surrounded by Shi Taijun without Jia Baoyu. Taking advantage of the opportunity, they sat at the lower end of Yingchun, holding their breaths and holding their voices, making up their minds not to speak unless they asked questions.

Shi Taijun said to everyone beamingly: "Now our family's garden has also been completed, and we will welcome my mother back to visit my relatives soon. When the time comes, you will all come, and let my mother see you and give you some blessings. That will be a lifetime of use." It's all over."

Mrs. Xing immediately followed up: "The old lady has spoken, and we naturally have to follow it, but I don't know what the rules are? Speaking of which, now that my master has been promoted to a title, it even brings me some face, no Do you know who my wife and I are going to salute whom?" The marquis is ranked as the highest rank among foreign wives except the Duke and Duchess, but Jia Yuanchun's concubine in the palace is only the third rank. The noble concubine of the first rank, the fourth concubine of the first rank, the noble concubine of the second rank and the ninth concubine of the second rank, Jia Yuanchun's concubine was raised from the nobleman, without a title, no higher than the fifth rank of a woman, So it's really hard to say who saluted whom.If she is favored, even the Duke's wife has to be polite, but Jia Yuanchun, who doesn't even have a title, is obviously not in the ranks of being favored, and it will be fun how to salute at that time.

Shi Taijun's face was pulled down on the spot: "Stupid thing, my mother is a gentleman, even I have to respect it, you are a mere Mrs. Hou, you dare to be so presumptuous, you are disrespectful."

Mrs. Wang's face is so dark that it can scare a child into tears. This damned Xing family dares to find fault with her daughter's family.

Mrs. Xing was confident: "If your mother is still a virtuous concubine, I would never dare to be rude, but now, everyone knows..." Wiping the corners of her mouth with a silk handkerchief, she hesitated to speak, leaving an infinite blank, Let the brain-filling people get angry by themselves.

Shi Taijun was trembling with anger as he pointed at her hand: "Slap your mouth! Slap your mouth!" But who would dare to go?Unless she does it herself.

Mrs. Wang's face was ashen, with a persuasive look: "Old lady, don't get angry with my sister-in-law. She is from a low background and has never seen many things. The old lady is good to give advice and explain patiently. She must be able to listen." got it."

Mrs. Xing quickly turned to Mrs. Wang: "It is true that I am not from a high family background, but there is a way to marry a woman from a low family and a daughter from a high family. Who told me to have a good life and marry my master? Wouldn't this make me look good? The second wife It's the noble lady who rules the County Bowang's family, but I don't know what kind of imperial order she is wearing now? Oh, I was wrong, is it an imperial order?" She also has no imperial order, and she is born high and worth nothing, Madam Xing curled her lips , who told you to be blind, and married a famous prudish wimp.

This time even Wang Xifeng's expression turned ugly. Although she is the daughter-in-law of the eldest family, she is also the daughter of the Wang family. If Mrs. Xing stepped on the face of the Wang family, wouldn't she also be ashamed?

"The eldest lady thinks it's because she is tired of serving the old man, and she is confused when she speaks. Even if you are angry with the second wife, you shouldn't talk nonsense here. You don't have to be angry with the old lady." Wang Xifeng took two steps forward and supported her. Shi Taijun's arm, to help her caress her chest and let her breathe.

Shi Taijun took advantage of the situation to support Wang Xifeng to stand up, and was about to walk in front of Mrs. Xing. It seemed that he couldn't help but want to slap his mouth himself.Mrs. Xing regretted what she had said. She didn't want to be slapped in the face for nothing, so she stood up quickly and avoided Shi Taijun's menacing approach by saluting: "I'm stupid, and I know that the second wife doesn't like to hear it." This, I have to say, I will pay the second wife here." She is the elder sister-in-law, and she has already saluted, so I don't believe that Mrs. Wang dares to sit upright and suffer.

Madam Wang gritted her teeth and sideways avoided, but she had to stand up and return the salute: "My elder sister-in-law is like a mother, how dare I disobey your teaching?" Mother-in-law's rights, I don't believe that Shi Taijun didn't kill you.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Wan was about to take the girls out immediately. The old lady and the two wives were about to break up, who would dare to listen?

Shi Taijun has been angry for more than a year, and today he is determined to step down the big house, Mrs. Xing is the first, so he shouted: "You are not allowed to leave, she is shameless, why do you bother to let her stay? Sit down." Come down." Everyone didn't dare to sit down, they stood still in fright, and the maids counted one by one, except for the mandarin duck who supported Shi Taijun's other arm, they all knelt on the ground.

This time there was a big fuss.Mrs. Xing secretly regretted that Jia Shishi had taken advantage of her. If the master was hurt by this, she would have to be punished when she went back.Whatever you do, you just want to have fun for a while, and you have caused yourself a lot of trouble.

Mrs. Xing thought about it left and right, but she couldn't get it right, so she tried her best to offend Jia Shishi, but she couldn't make Jia She take his anger on her. Dare to say, the old lady is still here, where do you put her old man by saying this?"

It was only then that Mrs. Wang discovered that this sister-in-law from a small family she had never looked down on actually had a sharp mouth: "I serve the old lady with sincerity and sincerity, and the world can learn from it. I don't talk about it. It is the one with sharp eyes that can discern the true heart."

Mrs. Xing grabbed Mrs. Wang tightly: "It is true that sincerity is good, but you should also keep your mouth under control. It's okay to talk about it at home. If you say the wrong thing outside, you will lose not only the family, but also the people in the palace." You won't look good on your face." This is a satire on Mrs. Wang's previous lawsuits and loan sharks, which caused Jia Yuanchun to be demoted.

When Mrs. Wang thought of this incident, her heart would be pierced. Of course, she would not think that it was her own fault. She only hated the person who exposed her. , causing her to lose her imperial order and become a criminal woman. Not only did she pay a large sum of money for atonement, but her daughter was also involved.

When Shi Taijun thought of this incident, he also hated it very much. First, he hated Mrs. Wang for being cruel but stupid, and for being careless in doing things.It was obvious that his family should close the door to solve it, but that bastard played righteously and killed relatives, ruined the reputation of Rongguo Mansion, and even brought disaster to their biggest backer, the empress.Now, she admits that Jia Amnesty is also her family.

Li Wan led a group of girls trembling with fright, wishing that he would be deaf and blind immediately, so that he could not hear or see anything.The three above cannot afford to offend any of them. No matter who loses face today, they will blame them all. Thinking of this, I can't help but hate in my heart, why do you have to let them suffer along with you?

Wang Xifeng didn't dare to listen anymore, and now she didn't care about the Wang family's face, she just wanted to cover it up quickly, so that everyone could put this topic aside, so she begged Shi Taijun to sit down: "Old ancestor, Your body is important, your mother's soul-searching is coming soon, why are you so angry, how can you hurt your body? Your heart will be hurt by then." Now I can only carry Yuan Chun out, in order to let her have a smooth soul-searching, nothing else Things should be able to slow down for a while.

As expected, Shi Taijun also valued this the most, walked down the steps, sat back on the couch behind him, angrily reprimanded Mrs. Xing: "Kneel down!"

Mrs. Xing quickly knelt down, today she owed her something, it's unlucky for her to admit it.

Yingchun was even more unlucky, her aunt knelt down, could she still stand?I had no choice but to kneel down quickly.As a result, Xue Baochai became the most embarrassing one. She shouldn't have a share in the garden, but Jia's internal strife brought her along, and she and Yingchun were the oldest, standing side by side in front. In a moment, Yingchun was kneeling, and she was standing, not to mention how conspicuous she was.

Shi Taijun didn't like Xue Baochai in the first place, but seeing her now and thinking about what she just heard, he found her an eyesore even more.She also didn't want to think that it was she who called the person herself, but she disliked Xue Baochai because she didn't understand the rules, and she didn't know how to avoid it by herself.
