Dream of the Red Mansion

It is said that Jia Zheng went to see Jiedu, went in for half a day but did not come out, and there were mixed opinions outside.Li Shi'er couldn't find out what happened outside, so he thought of the famine in the newspaper, and was really anxious. He finally heard Jia Zheng coming out, so he went up to follow him, and couldn't wait to go back. When there was no one, he asked, "Master, go in here." What's the matter?" Jia Zheng smiled and said, "It's nothing. It's just because the Zhenhai chief is a relative of this lord, and he has a book to entrust me with taking care of me, so he said some good things. He also said that we are also relatives now. It's done." Hearing this, Li Shi'er liked it in his heart, and unavoidably became more courageous, and tried his best to encourage Jia Zheng to agree to the marriage.Jia Zheng wondered what was wrong with Xue Pan's affairs. The information outside was not early and it was difficult to manage, so when he returned to his post, he sent his family to Beijing to inquire. The three girls will soon be taken to the office.The family was ordered to rush to Beijing, and when they got back to know Mrs. Wang, they inquired in the Ministry of Officials that Jia Zheng was not punished, but dismissed the old man who was in Taiping County, wrote a letter to comfort Jia Zheng, and then lived and waited for the letter.

Let's say that Aunt Xue spent an unknown amount of money in each yamen for Xue Pan's life lawsuit, before deciding on the issue of manslaughter.Originally looked at the pawnshop and turned it into someone else, and prepared silver for atonement.He didn't want the Ministry of Criminal Justice to refute the trial, and asked someone to spend a lot of money, but it was useless, so he was still convicted of a death penalty and waited for the big trial in autumn.Aunt Xue was angry and hurt, crying day and night.Although Baochai often came to persuade her, she said: "Brother was not lucky. After inheriting the family business of my grandfather, I should live in peace and security. The troubles in the south are already bad, and the incident in Xiangling is the only one. It's amazing, because relying on the power of relatives, spending some money, this counts as killing a son in vain. My brother should change his ways and become a decent person, and he should also take care of his mother. If he doesn't want to go to Beijing, he will still be like this. My mother has suffered so much and shed so many tears because of him. I married him, and I wanted everyone to live in peace and ease, but I didn't want to be like this, but the sister-in-law she married was a restless one, so my brother hid from the house Yes. It’s true as the saying goes. Enemy’s road is narrow, and in a few days there will be trouble. Mom and second elder brother have to do their best. It’s not worth spending money. But it’s fate, and it’s self-inflicted. Generally, raising children is for old age, and even small households still have to earn a bowl of rice to support their mothers. There are old people who have ruined their existing facilities and rebelled against them, crying to death. I didn't say that my brother's behavior is not a son, but an enemy. My mother didn't understand, she cried till night, and she was angry at her sister-in-law. I can't always be here to persuade, I Seeing my mother like this, I can rest assured. Although he is stupid, he still refuses to ask me to go back. The old master sent someone back and said that he saw the Beijing News. He was so bluffing, so he called someone to take care of it. I think my brother is in trouble. There are many people who are worried about this matter. Fortunately, I am still the same as before. If I hear this letter from my hometown, I am afraid that I will want to kill my mother. I beg my mother to rest for a while, and take advantage of my brother's life , Ask about the accounts of various places. What is due to us, and what is due to us, we should also ask an old man to do the calculations to see how much money is left."

Aunt Xue cried and said: "These days you came to trouble your brother. Either you persuaded me, or I told you about the yamen. You don't know yet, the name of the official business in Beijing has been withdrawn, and the two One pawn shop has already been given to others, and the money has been used up long ago. There is another pawn shop, the manager has escaped, and it has lost thousands of taels of silver, and it is also caught in the lawsuit. Your second brother is going out every day to ask for accounts. Tens of thousands of silver have already been withdrawn from the account in Beijing, so I have to take the southern centimeter of silver and change the house. Two days ago, I heard a rumor that the public pawnshop in the south also accepted it because of the folded book. If so Come on, your mother’s life will not survive.” As she spoke, she burst into tears again.Baochai also cried and persuaded: "It's useless for my mother to worry about money matters, and my second elder brother will take care of us. Shan hates these guys. Seeing that our momentum has lost, it's all right to go their own way. I also heard that we are helping others to squeeze our heads. It can be seen that my brother has lived so long, and the people he pays are just some wine and meat brothers. In times of crisis, there is no one. If my mother loves me, listen to me, there will be Older people, take care of yourself. My mother will not suffer from cold and hunger in her life. If you think about it, you have to let your sister-in-law go. There is nothing you can do. All the family members, they don’t care Here, those who should go tell them to go. Poor Xiangling suffered all her life, so she had to go with her mother. It’s really short. If I have some, I can bring some. I don’t think we have any objections. It’s Miss Xi. He also has righteous intentions, when he heard about my brother, he would cry when he brought up his mother. The one of us said he was fine, so we were not in a hurry, if we heard about it, we would scare him to death." Aunt Xue didn't wait. After finishing speaking, he said: "Good girl, don't tell him. He almost died because of a girl Lin, and he is better now. If he rushes out for a reason, not only will you add a layer of trouble, but I will be even more troubled. There is nothing to rely on." Baochai said: "I thought so too, so I never told him." Just as he was talking, he heard Jingui running into the outer room crying, "My life is forfeit! Man Well, there is no work left. Let's just make a fuss now, and everyone will go to the execution ground to fight." He said.Then he bumped his head against the partition board, making his hair disheveled.

Aunt Xue was so angry that she stared blankly, unable to speak a word.Fortunately, Baochai's sister-in-law is long, and sister-in-law is short, so she persuaded him with good words and bad words.Jingui said: "Grandma, now you can't compare to the leader. You two live a good life, I'm single, what do I have to do!" Saying this, he wanted to run to the street to go back to his mother's house. Too much, I stopped, and persuaded me for a long time to live.Scared Baoqin so much that he dared not see him again.If Xue Biao was at home, he would apply powder and fat, paint his eyebrows and temples, tidy up his strange clothes, pass by Xue Biao's house from time to time, cough deliberately, or ask in the room knowing that Xue Biao was in the house. who.Sometimes when he met Xue Biao, he would flirt with Qiao Qiao, asking the cold and hot in a charming and foolish way, alternately happy and angry.When the girls saw it, they all ran away.He didn't feel it himself, he just wanted to make Xue Biao feel affectionate, so he could do Baochan's plan.The Xue scorpion just hides, and when he meets him sometimes, he doesn't dare not to play around, for fear that he will play tricks.What's more, Jin Guiyi is obsessed with sex, the more he looks at it, the more he loves it, the more he thinks about it, the more delusional he is, and Xue Biao's authenticity can be seen there.There was only one case, when he saw Xue Biao entrusted Xiangling to keep everything, and Xiangling also sewed and washed clothes.Xue Biao wanted to wait for the attack, but he couldn't bear it, so he had to put all his hidden hatred on Xiangling.But I was afraid that Xiangling would make trouble and offend Xue Biao, so I couldn't bear it.

One day, Baochan came to Jin Gui with a smile on his face and asked, "Did Grandma see Er Ye?" I went to drink, but he said he didn’t know how to drink. Just now I saw him go to his wife’s room, his face flushed with the smell of alcohol. Grandma didn’t believe it, she just waited for him at the gate of our courtyard when he came over there. Grandma stopped him and asked him to see what he said." When Jingui heard this, he was so angry that he said, "He just came out there. He is ruthless, so ask him what he does!" Baochan said, "Grandma again. Roundabout. If he can say it, we can say it too. If he can't say it, let's make up our minds." Jingui sounded reasonable, because Baochan asked Baochan to watch him and see him go out.Baochan agreed to come out.But Jingui went to open the mirror, took another photo, wiped her lips again, and then took a flowery silk to come out. She seemed to have forgotten something, and she didn't know what to do.I only heard Baochan say outside: "Second Master is happy today, where did you drink?" Jingui heard this, knowing that he meant to ask him to come out, so he quickly lifted the curtain and came out.I saw Xue Biao and Baochan said: "Today is a good day for Uncle Zhang, so I can't be forced by them for half an hour, and my face is still feverish by this time." Before finishing a sentence, Jin Guizao said: " Naturally, the wine from outsiders is more interesting than the wine from our own home." Xue Biao was provoked by his words, his face became redder, and he hurriedly walked over to accompany him with a smile: "Sister-in-law said that." Baochan saw him two When people talked, they hid in the house.

At the beginning, Jin Gui wanted to pretend to say a few words about Xue Biao, but when he saw his cheeks were slightly red and his eyes were astringent, he did not have a kind of pity, and he had already influenced his arrogance to the country of Java , Because of a smile, he said: "So, your wine is only willing to drink if you are strong." Xue Biao said: "I can drink it there." Tomorrow I will marry your grandma, and I will be a widow and lonely like me!" Having said this, his eyes are already squinting, and his cheeks are flushed.Seeing that these words became more and more outlandish, Xue Biao planned to leave.Jingui also noticed that there was room for it, and she had already come over and grabbed her.Xue Biao said anxiously: "Sister-in-law, be more respectful." As he spoke, his whole body trembled.Jingui simply said with a straight face: "You just come in, I have something important to say to you." While arguing, a person behind him shouted: "Grandma, Xiangling is here." Jingui was taken aback When he looked back, it was Baochan who lifted the curtain to see the two of them. When he looked up and saw Xiangling coming from there, he hurriedly informed Jingui.Jingui was quite shocked, and his hands were loosened.Xue Tide got away and ran away.That Xiangling was walking, and she ignored it at first, but suddenly heard Baochan yelling, and then saw Jingui holding Xue Biao and dragging him to death.Xiangling's heart was beating wildly, and she hurriedly turned back.Here Jingui was already frightened, staring blankly at Xue Biao.After being stunned for a long time, he let out a cry of hatred, and went back to his room in disappointment, hating Xiangling to the marrow from then on.That Xiangling was going to Baoqin's place, but just walked out of the waist gate, when she saw this, she went back in fright.

On that day, Baochai heard Mrs. Wang tell the old lady that she wanted to hire Tanchun in Jiamu's house.Jia's mother said, "It's very good as a fellow countryman. I just heard that the child came to our house. Why didn't your master mention it?" Mrs. Wang said, "Even we don't know." But the road is too far away. Although the master is there, if the master is transferred in the future, isn't it because our children are too single." Mrs. Wang said: "Both families are officials, so it is uncertain. Or they will be transferred in there, Even if it is not the case, there will be a leaf falling back to the root. Besides, since the master is an official there, the superior has already said, so why not give it? I think the master has made up his mind, but he doesn't make the decision, so he sent someone back to the old lady." Jiamu said: "You are more willing. It's just that the third girl is gone. I don't know if she will go home in three or two years? If it's too late, I'm afraid I won't be able to see him again." As she spoke, she shed tears.

Mrs. Wang said: "When the children grow up, they must be given to others. They are local people, unless they are not officials, but if they are officials, whoever can keep them in the same place. As long as the children are good-looking For example, welcoming a girl is a close match, but I often hear him being beaten by his son-in-law, and he is not even given food. Even if we send things to him, he can't touch them. I heard that his hair is getting worse recently, and I won't let him come back. The couple quarreled and said that we used his family's money. Poor boy, he can't make it to the top. I missed him a while ago, so I sent someone to visit him, and the girl hid in the ear room and refused to come out. Old women must Going in, he saw that our girl was still wearing some old clothes in such a cold weather. He told the wives with tears in his eyes, "Don't say that I am so miserable when I go back. I can’t figure it out, so I’ll give him a beating instead. I told you. The old lady thought about it, but she saw it up close. Now welcome girls are not as good as our third-class girls. I think that although Tan girl is not raised by me, since the master has seen his son-in-law, it must be a good thing. I just ask the old lady to show me, choose a good day, Send a few more people to his master's post. What to do, the master will not let it go." Jia Mu said: "With his father as the master, you can take care of it and send it on a long trip, and then you will decide One thing." Mrs. Wang agreed "Yes".Baochai understood what she heard, but she didn't dare to say anything, she just complained in her heart: "The girls in our family consider him a top-notch, and now he is going to marry far away. Seeing that there are fewer and fewer people here every day." Seeing Mrs. Wang get up and leave When he went out, he also sent it out, and went all the way back to his room without talking to Baoyu.Seeing Xiren working alone, he said what he heard.Attacking people is also very useless.

But Aunt Zhao became overjoyed when she heard about Tanchun, and said in her heart: "I am a girl who despises me at home. Why am I still a mother, worse than his girl. Besides, Shangshui protects others. He is in the head Lian Huan'er can't get ahead. Now that the master has taken it, I'm clean. I want him to respect me, but I can't. I just want him to be like a girl, and I'll say it." While thinking, he ran to Tanchun congratulated him and said: "Girl, you are a person who wants to fly high. It is better to go to my uncle's side than at home. I think you are willing to come. I just raised you, and I didn't borrow your money." Guang'er. Even if I'm seven points bad, I'm also three points good, don't let me go and put me in the back of your head." Tanchun listened to it without reason, just bowed his head and worked without saying a word.Seeing that he ignored him, Aunt Zhao went away angrily.

Here Tanchun is angry, laughs, and sad, but she just sheds tears.After sitting down for a while, he walked to Baoyu's side in a dull mood.Baoyuyin asked, "Sister Lin, I heard that you were there when Sister Lin died. I also heard that there was music in the distance when Sister Lin died. I don't know if he had a history. Tanchun laughed and said, "That's what you were thinking. It's just that it was weird that night. It didn't sound like other people's drum music. Your words may be the same."

When Baoyu heard this, he believed it even more.I also thought that when I was in a trance the day before yesterday, I saw a person who said that Daiyu was born a different person and died a different ghost, so it must be a fairy from there.Suddenly I thought of Chang'e, who was singing in an opera that year, so fluttering and gorgeous, how charming she was.After a while, Tanchun went.Because it was necessary for Zicuckoo to come, she immediately went back to Jiamu to call him.But Zijuan didn't want to, even though Mrs. Jia Muwang sent her, she couldn't help it, but in front of Baoyu, she either beeped or sighed.Baoyu pulled him behind his back and wanted to ask Daiyu in a low voice, but Zijuan never answered nicely.Baochai praised him for his loyalty from the bottom of his heart, but didn't blame him.Although Baoyu worked hard on the night of Baoyu's wedding, Baochai saw that he didn't understand, so he went back to Mrs. Jia Muwang, married him to a servant, and went to live separately.Nanny Wang is raising him so that she can send Daiyu's coffin back to the south in the future.Parrot and other little girls still waited on the old lady.Baoyu missed Daiyu at first, so after that, the people who wanted to be with Daiyu had already dispersed, and he was even more puzzled.Bored to the point of helplessness, I suddenly remembered that Daiyu died so clearly that she must have gone back to immortality, but I liked it.Suddenly, I heard Xiren and Baochai talk about Tanchun's marriage. Baoyu heard this, and cried and fell on the kang.Baochai was so frightened that everyone came to help him up and said, "What's the matter?" Baoyu couldn't tell from crying a long time ago, calmed down for a while, and said, "This is a terrible day! My sisters are all scattered one by one. Sister Lin has become a fairy. The eldest sister is dead, that’s all, we don’t get together every day. The second sister has met a bastard. The third sister is going to marry far away, so I can’t see her again. That's right. Sister Shi doesn't know where she's going. Sister Xue has someone else. Don't tell me that none of these sisters stay at home, but what are you doing with me!" Xiren hurriedly tried to persuade her.

Baochai waved his hands and said, "You don't need to persuade him, let me ask him." Because he asked Baoyu, "According to your heart, if you want these sisters to stay with you at home until you grow old, don't you want to do it for life?" ? If you talk about others, or have other ideas. Needless to say, your own sisters and sisters do not marry far away, but there are, the master is in charge, what can you do! Look at the world and you are the only one who loves your sisters and sisters If you are all like you, even I can't accompany you. Most ordinary people study for reason, but why are you getting more and more confused. Speaking of which, I will go to the other side with the girl, and let you take the sisters and sisters away. They are all invited to watch over you." Hearing this, Baoyu held Baochai with both hands and said, "I know too. Why did you leave so early? It won't be too late to leave when I turn into ashes."

Xiren covered his mouth and said, "You're talking nonsense again. It's only been two days since you've been feeling better, and Second Mistress only ate some food. If you fall out again, I don't care about it." Baoyu listened slowly to the two of them. It makes sense, but I don't know what to do, so I had to force myself: "I understand, but I'm just panicking." Baochai ignored him, and secretly told Xiren to give him a reassurance, and slowly enlighten him.Xiren wanted to tell Tanchun that there was no need to say goodbye before leaving. Baochai said, "What are you afraid of? After a few days of silence, when he understands in his heart, he will ask them to talk more. Besides, the third girl understands very well. He is not like those hypocritical people, who must have some admonitions. He will not be like this in the future." Just as he was talking, Jiamu sent Yuanyang to tell him that Baoyu's old illness had relapsed, and asked Xiren to persuade and comfort him. Tell him not to think about it.The attacker waited.Yuanyang sat for a while and went away.Then Jia's mother thought of traveling in the spring again. Although she didn't prepare the dowry, she should prepare all the things that should be used, so she called Sister Feng, told the master's idea, and asked him to take care of it.Sister Feng agreed, I don't know how to deal with it, and I will break it down next time.
