The Legend of the Long Room in the Red Mansion

After a while, Yuanchun gradually calmed down. According to the procedure, he got on the chariot and boarded the boat to visit the garden.

In order to make a face for her, the Jia family built this garden is really gorgeous, it is actually the favored nobleman Zhou, the high-ranking Concubine Wu's family has more than one head, Yuanchun came all the way, I saw all kinds of colorful lanterns, all tied with gauze Tied, very delicate.There is also the Qingliu area, which is like a swimming dragon. On the stone railings on both sides, there are crystal glass lanterns of various colors, lit like silver flowers and snow waves.The flowers and trees in the garden are luxuriant, and several lamps are hung on each tree. It is also a genus of Heron and Heron in the pool, and they are all made of snail and clam feathers.The lamps compete for brilliance up and down, which is really a world of glass and a world of jewelry.There are also all kinds of exquisite bonsai lights on the boat, bead curtains and embroidered curtains, osmanthus and orchids, needless to say.

For a while, when the boat approached the inner bank, I abandoned the boat and boarded the boat. I saw the graceful Lin Palace and the majestic Gui Palace.The four characters "Treasure of Immortals" are obvious on the stone archway, and Jia concubine hastily ordered to change the four characters "Singing Family Villa".So enter the palace.But I saw that the courtyard was burning and empty, the ground was covered with incense crumbs, the fiery trees and flowers, the golden windows and jade thresholds.It can't be said that the curtain rolls the shrimp's whiskers, the blanket spreads the fish and otters, the tripod wafts the fragrance of the musk deer's brain, and the screen is lined with fans of pheasant tails.It's really: Jinmen Yuhu Shenxian Mansion, Guidian Lan Palace Concubine's home.

Entering the main hall, the etiquette eunuch knelt down and asked to be seated to receive the ceremony, and the two majesties laughed.The two ceremonial eunuchs lead Jia Amnesty, Jia Lian, etc. to work under the platform.The most embarrassing thing at this time is that Jia Zheng was dismissed and went home without rank, even if he is his biological father, he is not qualified to pay Jia concubine well.Jia Pin also knew this in her heart, she only hoped that everyone would forget about it, so that her father could stand behind her uncle, but unexpectedly, when she saw her today, even Jia Zhen came, but Jia Zheng had no place to stay.Yuan Chun couldn't help but feel desolate, and wanted to let them go for a while, but Zhao Rong, the emperor, passed the message according to the rules, saying: "Excuse me." The eunuch led Jia She and others to withdraw.Another eunuch led Shi Taijun of Rongguo Mansion and his female relatives to line up from the east steps to the platform. Zhao Rong said again, "Excuse me." So he retired.Of course, there is also no figure of Mrs. Wang here.

The tea has been offered three times, and the concubine Jia descended to her seat, and the music stopped.Retreating into the side hall to change clothes, Fang prepares to visit his relatives and drive out of the garden to Shi Taijun's main room, but he hears the maid brought by his family holding the piano and suddenly enters to play: "Qi Madam, the two families of Rongguo Mansion separated from several hours ago, and now The old lady and her parents have all moved into the garden to live in, and I ask my lady to show me, where can I go now?"

Yuan Chun was taken aback, and then furious: "It's too much to deceive people." At the moment when she was visiting relatives, driving her parents out of Rongguo Mansion was to slap her in the face?Then he asked: "Where is the old lady now? Yiren...Where is Jia Wang?"

Baoqin bowed his head and replied: "Everyone is waiting outside the hall."

Yuanchun asked the concubine Cai to meet her outside the hall, and summoned Jia Shi and Jia Wang to talk inside.Mrs. Xing, Wang Xifeng, and You Shi were all left outside. The weather in July is not too cold, but it's just a bad day, and I always feel ghostly. The three of them stood together, and there were eunuchs waiting to watch. It is really embarrassing to show a respectful look on the face even though one dare not speak out and complain endlessly in one's heart.

Shi Taijun and Mrs. Wang entered the main room. Yuan Chun retreated everyone and wanted to perform family rituals. Shi Taijun and others knelt down. Jia's eyes were full of tears, and they went up to meet each other. They supported Shi Taijun with one hand and Mrs. Wang with the other. The three of them were full There are many things in my heart, but I can't say them all, just sobbing and weeping.

After a long while, Yuan Chunfang said: "I heard that my grandmother and mother accepted the grievance today. Can you explain why? Where did the big house get the confidence to split the family at this time?" Parents are here, no separation, and now Shi Taijun Still, the separation of Dafang's family is really disobedient, Yuanchun is resentful, and wants to find a reason to sue the emperor. It is best to take away Dafang's title and give grace to his parents and brothers to relieve his hatred.

Shi Taijun wept and shook his head, and said, "Zhen'er from Dongfu is also a bastard, she helped She'er and Lian'er, and invited Dai Quan, the head of the Daming Palace, as a witness, what can we do? My son, it is the filial piety of the old woman to get this garden, so that the empress can visit her relatives."

Mrs. Wang has been weeping for a long time. Over the past year, she has lost face, lost money, and lost her life. She has suffered unspeakably.After finally waiting for her daughter to visit her relatives today, she thought she could feel proud, but was kicked out of the house. If she hadn't always been strong-minded, she would have the heart to be bumped to death at this moment.

As soon as Yuan Chun heard that it was Dai Neixiang who came forward, he knew that the old sage was behind it, and he couldn't help asking in panic: "What did father do? How did you startle the old sage?" In fact, the old sage didn't need to be alarmed, he would Did she jump up and down, but her father is now jobless, how could the old saint pay attention?

Mrs. Wang cried in a hoarse voice: "It was all provoked by the East Mansion. For more than a year, they have been chasing after the Ning family's boy, and they have gradually separated from our West Manor, and they are rushing to step on it. Then Dai Nei Xiang has always been on good terms with Zhen'er, so maybe he got into some kind of slander."

It's okay not to mention, Yuan Chun just thought it was a disagreement between the eldest family and the second family. Hearing this, even the patriarch was on the side of the eldest family. Is this okay?And what kid from the Ning family?How can there be one more person to add to the chaos?Yuan Chun was not favored in the harem, and although he had some money, it was not enough to buy the eunuch who served in the previous court, so he was in a dark circle about the government.Jia Shishi went to the palace several times and was busy complaining and comforting, but also forgot to mention Ning Shan's matter, so he didn't know about it.

Just as he was about to ask carefully, he suddenly heard the report from the inner supervisor outside: "Ding, the head of the house and deacon of the East and West, saluted outside the hall, and the daughter-in-law and maidservant of the head of the two houses came to salute." Madam, Wang Xifeng and Youshi went inside, and they didn't meet all the sisters. This was passed back to the palace, which was also an excuse, so he hurriedly remedied: "I haven't met my aunt and sisters yet, let them wait a little longer. wait."

Concubine Zhaorongcai went out separately, led Mrs. Xing, Wang Xifeng and Youshi in, stood on the right side, and led the three sisters Ying Tanxi to line up on the left side.Everyone knelt down together, kowtowed their heads and saluted, Yuan Chun sent an edict saying "Exemption", but they had already knelt down, and I don't know if she said it late on purpose.Yingchun remembered what her elder brother said today, it is not surprising that there are many people who are polite, and she must not be caught by Jia Bin, so she kowtowed respectfully and did not stand up until Zhaorong stepped forward to help her up.Later, Tanchun and Xichun naturally followed her, and Mrs. Xing had also been educated by Jia Amnesty, so she didn't dare to make any mistakes. The six salutes were much more disciplined than Shi Taijun and Mrs. Wang.But it also seems that Yuanchun is ruthless, and he really loves his relatives.

Yuan Chun felt displeased, and ordered Ying Chun to go forward, but unexpectedly, when she took a closer look, she was stunned on the spot.It turns out that today Yingchun is wearing a formal dress, dressed according to the rank of the eldest daughter of Lord Hou, and it is resplendent and dignified.The big red bottom has a stand-up collar with multicolored twigs and winter embroidered embroidered tassels and cloud shoulders, and the red bottom with multicolored twigs and embroidered winter embroidered round neck gown, with a slightly exposed corner of the sky blue vamp, and there are budding flowers inlaid with broken diamonds, the essence of literary talent, unexpectedly It was even more elegant and noble than the dress she used to wear at home.

Yuan Chun's thoughts turned, and his anger turned into joy at the moment. He took a step forward, took Yingchun's hand to look carefully, and praised: "When I left home, my sister was still timid and afraid to see people. It took so much time to actually It's such a symbol." On the left hand of Yingchun she was holding, a string of peerless bright red jadeite flying phoenix beads appeared. A few such masterpieces are produced.This object was the favored concubine of the former court, the ancestors of the Ning family followed the gang into the former court, and they often collected these things.Now that the Ning family has no daughters, they took some for Yingchun to wear.

Yuan Chun was secretly surprised, wondering why this concubine's sister was so rich and overbearing, maybe some noble person took a fancy to her, so she got her family to support her and take care of her.If you look closely at the things on her head, they are all exquisite to the extreme. The whole head is made of big rubies, the gold earrings inlaid with rubies are also made in the style of winter jasmine, and the necklace of pearls the size of lotus seeds made of golden silk is worn around her neck. The tassel cloud shoulders are even more luxurious and gorgeous than Concubine Wu Gui in the palace. This is not like the money that a concubine should have in a place that is not valued, even when her little aunt Jia Min was at home, she did not have such wealth.

Yingchun lowered her eyebrows and pleasing to the eye, let Yuanchun look at her, Yuanchun couldn't stop praising her, tentatively asked what was going on in her words, Yingchun only acted as if she didn't understand, anyway, her image in the eyes of everyone is like a piece of wood, so it's not difficult to pretend .As for this outfit, big brother rewarded her, can you say no?

Behind her, Tanchun looked at her with jealousy and sadness, and her sister-in-law Yuanchun's eyes were all on Yingchun, and she didn't even look at her at all, which made her anxious.It's just that on such occasions, she is not able to intervene at will. Once she makes a wrong step, it will be irreversible, so she has to endure it bitterly.

Yuan Chun probed around the bend for a long time, but couldn't pry Yingchun's mouth open, so he simply sent her off angrily, so he didn't have to waste his time, because he still wanted to see Bao Yuer.

Sitting back on the phoenix seat, Yuan Chun calmed down and asked, "Aunt Xue, Baochai, why did Daiyu not see you?" , please hurry up.For a while, Aunt Xue waited to come in, and wanted to perform the national ceremony, but she was also ordered to avoid passing, and went forward to say goodbye to the cold and warm.In fact, there is nothing to say at all, she has never met these three people before, so she is just talking about the scene at this time, so as not to appear cold, whoever is.

Jia Zheng came to greet him outside the curtain, and Jia concubine came to visit behind the curtain.With tears in his eyes, he said to his father through the curtain: "Although the family of the farmhouse is full of salt, cloth and silk, it can finally gather the joy of the heavenly wheel. Although it is extremely rich and noble, and the flesh and blood are all parties, it will not be interesting in the end!" Jia Zheng was speechless after hearing this. I don't know how to answer.He had already asked Mr. Xie to write an ode to Parallel Four Li Liu, but now that he has no official status and cannot match it, and he has been busy building the garden for several months, he has long forgotten to write another one. Only tongue-tied, long and cold, extremely embarrassing.

Yuanchun couldn't do it, so he had to order Baoyu to come in to meet each other. Shi Taijun said, "No, outsiders dare not enter without permission." Yuanchun ordered to bring in quickly.The little eunuch went out to lead Baoyu in. After the national ceremony, Yuanchun ordered him to go forward, held him in his arms hand in hand, stroked his head and neck and said with a smile: "It's a lot longer than before..." Before the end of the sentence, tears fell like rain .

Everyone had to cry for a while, followed by another round of persuasion, these are fixed formulas, everyone has practiced it many times, it is not interesting, but they have to act according to the etiquette.Yingchun has long been uncomfortable sitting, Xichun is also generally uncomfortable, and Lin Daiyu is delicate and frail. She started tossing and tossing early this morning, and she can't eat lunch. She stood outside for a long time, with the cool wind blowing. I feel a headache and a stuffy nose, but because my concubine is on top, I dare not reveal it, so I have to suffer, I only hope that it will end soon, and I will get better when I go back to lie down.

Finally, Youshi and Sister Feng came forward to ask for instructions: "The banquet is ready, please take a trip." Yuanchun got up, ordered Baoyu to guide him, and then walked to the gate of the garden with all the people and began to visit the relatives' courtyard.
