The Legend of the Long Room in the Red Mansion

Mrs. Xing was still very nervous sitting in the car, and checked with Yingchun again what she was going to say: "Let's go into the house and meet the old lady first, please say hello and explain that I have not been free to serve the master. Then what is it? "

Yingchun patted the back of Mrs. Xing's hand, comforted her quietly and said: "Then mother just finds an opportunity to ask Lian's second sister-in-law if there is any news from the previous one, and my daughter will take care of other things."

Mrs. Xing worried: "Can you do it?" This girl's soft temperament has been deeply rooted in her mind, even if she has become more capable now, she is still reticent. Can she handle that woman from Jia Wang's family? ?

Yingchun said: "It's nothing more than verbal grievances, how can they bear me?" In the early years in that mansion, how much did she suffer from such grievances, didn't she endure it anyway, it didn't make sense that she couldn't bear it now.

Mrs. Xing was worried that she couldn't help it: "I can't stand that woman's anger anymore, I'm afraid I will get angry first." In the Ning family, everyone respects her as an old lady, and she has been raised long ago. I lost my temper.

Yingchun laughed and said: "My mother is Mrs. Chaopin Hou. Although the second aunt is the mother's biological mother, she is white. Even her crimes have not been erased, but she has paid money to avoid being sent to prison. Didn't my mother wear it specially today? I'm afraid that Second Aunt doesn't want to see my mother if I order clothes to come out."

Mrs. Xing smiled triumphantly: "I just want to wear this outfit and poke her eyeballs hard." Aren't you making an excuse for your empress to summon you?Then the old lady will give you a royal dress, and see what you can do?

Yingchun was also dressed in a splendid red dress in line with the festive atmosphere of the Shangyuan Festival. When the mother and daughter arrived at the Grand View Garden, the main entrance was closed and a corner door was opened. Madam Xing scolded in her heart when she saw this, but Yingchun remained silent, letting her mother-in-law The boys pulled the carriage in.

When they arrived in front of Shi Taijun's main hall, the mother and daughter got out of the car.The mother-in-law who was waiting outside couldn't help being taken aback when she saw Mrs. Xing coming here dressed in high-quality royal clothes and made up according to her grade.Madam Xing held her head high and walked into the room without turning her eyes.

The house was bustling with activity, Jia Baoyu was running around to see what the sisters had guessed, and what lantern riddles they had made to send up.Suddenly a gust of cold wind blew in, Shi Taijun shuddered, and was about to curse, but saw Mrs. Xing, who hadn't shown her face for a long time, in a big dress, standing at the door with a serious face, the curtain behind her was still half-opened, revealing half of a slender and pretty figure, it was Yingchun.

All the girls also froze in place, no one said anything for a while, Madam Xing didn't go inside, she was stuck at the door, let the door curtain be lifted, and the cold wind was blowing suddenly, anyway, she was wearing a big robe and a thick cloak, Not afraid of the cold, let's see who can stand it.

After all, it was the thinly dressed person in the room who spoke first: "Boss wife, you are getting more and more unruly, what's the matter standing by the door?"

Mrs. Xing replied: "I heard that it was the empress who summoned me. I thought an angel would come, so I didn't dare to enter for a while. I was looking around to see if I need to receive an order after the incense table."

The little eunuch who came to pass the decree was welcomed outside by Jia Zheng to have tea, how could he wait in Shi Taijun's room, this is nothing short of nonsense!

Shi Taijun said angrily: "Then you should see clearly, why don't you come in? Or don't come in, don't stand at the door anyway, don't pour in cold wind to freeze people."

Mrs. Xing just walked in Shi Shiran, and Yingchun followed behind her with low eyebrows and eyes, without saying a word.Lin Daiyu's eyes were sharp, and when she saw her, she couldn't help winking with worry, but Yingchun didn't look up, so no matter how much she hinted, she couldn't see her.

The joyous atmosphere in the room was interrupted by a gust of cold wind blowing in from Mrs. Xing. Everyone looked ugly, but Mrs. Xing couldn't be happier.Stepping forward, he bowed to Shi Taijun first, there was nothing wrong with him, then he turned to Mrs. Wang, stretched the super-grade uniform on his body, and said in the same tone as Shi Taijun: "Second brother, you are more Da Yue is ignorant, and he didn't see his sister-in-law coming, why don't you give up your seat?"

Mrs. Wang was facing the bright phoenix coronet and Xiapei luck, trying to suppress her anger. This woman just came to embarrass her. Knowing that she is dead now, she deliberately dressed like this to show off.This is a blatant provocation, and it doesn't take the empress seriously!

But she has nothing to do, and the empress is not here, who will support her?That Mrs. Xing is the eldest sister-in-law, who is ordered by Chaopin, she has to bow her head to pay her respects wherever she sees her.

Facing this kind of Hong Guoguo's slap in the face, Shi Taijun couldn't help, let alone, she didn't intend to.This Wang's woman is a little arrogant, and it's good if someone comes to attack her, so that she will not think that she can show off her power at home after giving birth to a concubine.You know, whether it is the Ronghou Mansion or the Grand View Garden, it must be her old lady's world.

It was Xue Baochai who reacted the fastest and helped Mrs. Wang the most. She took a step forward, picked up Yingchun behind Mrs. Xing, and changed the subject without a trace: "Now you are a lady of the world without going out of your door. Even we can't invite you, and we haven't seen each other for a long time, thanks to your mother's blessing today, why don't you hurry up and say hello to the sisters."

Since Yingchun entered the house, she did nothing except salute Shi Taijun with Mrs. Xing.At this moment, she was also standing quietly, but Xue Baochai pulled her out in order to rescue Mrs. Wang.Shi Taijun also waved his hand along the way, and said, "Second girl, come to the ancestor's place, it's been a hard year this year? Why do you look thinner?"

Yingchun calmly said: "If you go back to the old lady, my father is not feeling well. As a daughter, I will naturally have to take care of my illness. It doesn't matter if I lose weight." But they didn't call out to the ancestors as Shi Taijun expected. Now they only call out to each other. The old lady does not intend to enshrine her as an ancestor.

Shi Taijun secretly scolded this girl for her lack of eyesight and inability to speak well, so her face became a little cold, and said: "Today, my mother is in a good mood, and she made a lantern riddle and asked you to guess it. You can go and have a look."

Mrs. Xing had just sat on the seat that Mrs. Wang had vacated, and upon hearing this, she said, "So it's such a trivial matter, and the second family's urging is so urgent, I thought it was my mother who came out to visit my relatives again!"

Shi Taijun patted the kang table and said angrily: "Your Majesty is a gentleman, you should respect it, and talk about other things."

Mrs. Xing immediately pushed back: "Didn't the second family invite you three times in the name of the empress? I take it as an important matter. If it is such a small matter, next time don't use the empress to scare us. We women are very timid, it's not because we are afraid of offending our mother that even the master has left behind and hurried over."

Mrs. Wang was full of anger but had no place to vent her anger, so she could only lower her head and pinch her palms to listen to that woman from Xing's carefree mouth and mother. She didn't know that she thought it was crawling out of her belly.There is really no respect at all, how can such a woman be worthy of a super-grade order, but her dignified mother has to endure this vulgar woman in her own home?

When their sisters-in-law were arguing, Yingchun had already been dragged to watch the lantern riddles. It was a seven-character quatrain, which was not very novel, and there was no shortage of compliments in his mouth. He only said it was difficult to guess, and pretended to think about it. She made a mistake on purpose.Then according to the requirements, he picked up a thing to make a riddle, wrote it in Gong Kai, and hung it on the lamp.

The eunuch went, and everyone stayed in Shi Taijun's upper room for a banquet, because Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang were different, and Yingchun was silent, making the disturbance very boring.Fortunately, not long after, the little eunuch came back again and passed Yuan Chun's oral order: "The former lady made it, and I have already guessed it, but the second lady and the third master guessed it wrong. The ladies have also guessed what they made. I don't know if it is true or not." .” As he spoke, he also took out what he had written.Some guessed it, and some couldn't guess it. They all talked nonsense and guessed.

Then came the reward, Yuan Chun originally planned to take this opportunity to reward Yingchun, so as to find out about the relationship between the big house and win Jia Lian to use for her.Unexpectedly, Yingchun guessed wrong, this time, there is no reward, and it is too obvious to let the right person not be rewarded, but give a heavy reward for guessing wrong.

Yuan Chun didn't know whether everyone guessed together and wrote it, so he didn't know that others didn't know what Yingchun guessed. For fear of self-defeating, he had to skip Yingchun, and didn't give a reward, but it was a waste of trouble.

When Yingchun saw that something had happened, she gestured with Mrs. Xing to go back home.But he didn't want to, Shi Taijun saw that Yuanchun was so happy, and he became more and more happy, so he ordered to quickly make a small and exquisite screen lamp, set it up in the house, and ordered the sisters to do it secretly, write it out and stick it on the screen, and then prepare to put it down. Fragrant tea fruit and all kinds of playthings, congratulations for guessing, I couldn't get away for a while.

If you can't go, you have to give up. That's an old lady. Not to mention her seniority, she is so old. If she wants to be willful, what else can others do besides being with her?

Mrs. Xing was calm and peaceful, sitting firmly on Mount Tai, holding a bowl of Yuanxiao far away from Shi Taijun, and she didn't eat it seriously, she just played with the spoon and pissed off Mrs. Wang by the way.Whenever Mrs. Wang speaks, she always has something to say, and the words are not good.

In order to teach Mrs. Wang a lesson, Shi Taijun restrained herself and ignored them, but let the girls surround her to guess riddles and laugh.Yingchun was distraught, and couldn't see such a scene of singing and dancing, so she casually made an abacus riddle.This thing is a disturbing thing, and it is obvious that she is disturbed in her heart.

Looking at other people, Tanchun made a kite, which is something that floats with the wind;

Xichun is a sea lantern in front of the Buddha, which is a quiet and lonely thing;

Baochai's work is more fragrant, and Daiyu's work is that of Mrs. Bamboo, which is as desolate as each other.

It was obviously the Shangyuan Festival, but there was no joy in life.Yingchun stood in front of the screen, looking at the lantern riddles of the sisters, her heart became more and more desolate, a chill that penetrated into the bones wrapped around her body, and could not dissipate for a long time.

Mrs. Xing has no interest in lantern riddles, and she can't guess them. She spends the whole night dealing with Mrs. Wang with all her strength, showing off her imperial orders, and ridiculing Mrs. Wang for giving birth to a concubine, but she has no favor and no children. and family members.On the contrary, he was very happy to talk, and he talked endlessly on the way home.

Yingchun listened along, absent-minded, but she didn't see her thoughts.But there was no one to talk about, so he had no choice but to go back to the room with a cold heart, but couldn't hold on any longer, and sat down on the bed slumped.
