Dream of the Red Mansion

It is said that it is Jia Jing's birthday. Jia Zhen first packed [-] large boxes with high-quality edibles and rare fruits, and sent them to Jia Jing with Jia Rong and his servants. She said to Jia Rong: " Pay attention to see if Grandpa likes it or not, you just go and salute. You say it. My father obeyed Grandpa's words and did not dare to come, and he led the whole family to salute at home." After Jia Rong heard this, she led her family to go.

Gradually, people are coming here.First, when Jia Lian and Jia Qiang came, they first looked at the seats everywhere, and asked, "Is there any stubbornness?" The day before yesterday, I heard that the grandpa was not coming again, and now I have asked the servants to find a group of small opera performers, and each of them will play ten plays, and they are all preparing on the stage in the garden."

The next time, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Sister Feng and Baoyu all came, and Jia Zhen and Youshi took them in.Youshi's mother is already here.Everyone has seen each other and gave up their seats.Jia Zhenyou and his family handed the tea in person, because they said: "The old lady is an ancestor, and my father is a nephew. On such a day, I dare not invite him to be an old man, but at this time, the weather is cool and the garden is full of flowers." The chrysanthemums are in full bloom again. I invite the ancestors to come over to relieve the boredom and watch the children and grandchildren bustle. That’s what it means. Who knows that the ancestors don’t want to show their face.” Sister Feng said before Mrs. Wang could speak, “The old lady said yesterday I want to come, because watching Brother Bao and the others eating peaches at night, the old man was greedy again, and he ate half of them. He woke up twice in a row at five o'clock, and felt a little tired this morning. Because he asked me to come back Uncle, I can't come today, and I want to have some good ones, but also bad ones." Jia Zhen smiled and said: "I said that my ancestors like to be lively. If you don't come today, there must be a reason. If so, that's it."

Mrs. Wang said: "I heard your eldest sister say the day before yesterday that Brother Rong's daughter-in-law is not very well. What's the matter?" You said: "He is also very sick. Last month's Mid-Autumn Festival, he followed the old lady, madam We spent the middle of the night, and came home to have a good time. When we reached our twenties, we became more and more lazier day by day, and also lazy to eat. It’s been nearly half a month. I haven’t had my period for another two months.” Xing The lady went on to say, "Don't you want to be happy?" Just as they were talking, the outsider replied, "Master, the second master and the men of the whole family are here. They are in the hall." Jia Zhen went out quickly.Here, You Shifang said: "The doctors used to say that it was happiness. Yesterday Feng Ziying recommended a gentleman he had learned from. He was very good at medicine. He looked at it and said it was not happiness, but it was a big symptom. He prescribed a prescription yesterday. , I took a dose of medicine, and my dizziness is a little better today, but nothing else has much effect." Sister Feng said: "I said he is not very unbearable. Today is a day like this, and he will never stop struggling. Come up." You Shi said: "You met him here on the third day of the junior high school, and he struggled for a long time, and it was also because of your two good bosses that he was reluctant to go." Sister Feng listened , the eye circles were red for a long time, and half a day said: "Really. There are unpredictable things in the sky, and people have misfortunes and blessings'. At this age, if something happens because of this disease, what's the fun of being alive!" During this time, Jia Rong came in and greeted Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, and Sister Feng. Fang went back to You and said, "Just now I went to deliver food to my grandfather, and told me that my father was serving the gentlemen at home and entertaining the whole family." The men of the son did not dare to come according to the words of the grandfather. The grandfather liked it very much and said: "This is the real thing". Tell the father and mother to serve the grandfather and his wife well, and tell me to serve the uncles, aunts and brothers well.

He also said that the lt;lt;Yin Zhi Wen gt;gt; had to be carved out in a hurry and printed [-] pieces of Sanren.I said all this back to my father.I have to go out quickly to send the grandfather and the family together for dinner.Sister Feng said.Brother Rong, stop here.What is your daughter-in-law doing today?Jia Rong frowned and said.Not good!My aunt will know when she comes back and take a look.So Jia Rong went out.

Here Mrs. You said to Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang said: "Ladies, eat here, or eat in the garden? Xiaoxier is going to be in the garden now." Mrs. Wang said to Mrs. Xing: "We simply ate. Let's go there again, and save a lot of trouble." Mrs. Xing said: "Very good." So Youshi told his daughters-in-law and mother-in-law: "Hurry up and bring the food." Outside the door they all agreed, and everyone brought their own food. went.After a while, the meal was served.Mrs. You asked Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang and his mother to sit on the side seats with Sister Feng and Baoyu.Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang said: "We came here to pay homage to the old man's birthday. Isn't this our birthday?" You can be regarded as a fairy. When the ladies say this, it’s called "God knows." After saying a word, the whole room burst into laughter.

So, Youshi's mother, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, and Sister Feng all finished their meal, rinsed their mouths, and cleaned their hands before saying that they were going to the garden. Jia Rong came in and said to Youshi, "Masters and everyone." Uncles, brothers and brothers have also eaten. The eldest master said that there was something at home, and the second master didn't like to listen to dramas and was afraid of being panicked, so they all went. The other family members were all let go by the second uncle Lian and the brothers Qiang I went to the theater.

Just now, the princes of Nan'an County King, Dongping County King, Xining County King, Beijing County King, six families including Zhen Guo Gongniu's House, and eight families including Zhongjing Hou Shi's House sent people to present birthday gifts with famous cards. They all went back to my father, and they were put in the tent first, and the gift slips were all on the shelf.The master's thank you note has been handed over to all the visitors, and all the visitors have been rewarded as usual, and all the visitors have to eat before going.Mother should invite the two wives, old lady, and aunt to sit in the garden. "Youshi said." He also just finished his meal and was about to pass.

Sister Feng said, "I'll go back to my wife. I'll see Brother Rong's daughter-in-law first, and then I'll go there." Mrs. Wang said, "That's right. We all have to go and see him. I'm afraid he will be too flustered and say we ask Let him go." You said, "My dear sister, my daughter-in-law listens to you, and I don't worry if you go and enlighten him. Come over to the garden as soon as possible." Baoyu also followed Sister Feng to see Qin's family. Mrs. Wang said, "Just go there after you have a look. That's my nephew and daughter-in-law." So Mrs. You invited Mrs. Xing, and Mrs. Wang and his mother went to Huifang Garden.

Sister Feng, Bao Yufang and Jia Rong came to Qin's side.After entering the door, she walked quietly to the door of the inner room. When Qin saw her, she was about to stand up. Sister Feng said, "Don't get up, you seem to be dizzy." Holding Qin's hand, she said, "My grandma! Why are you so skinny after not seeing you for a few days!" So she sat on the mat that Qin was sitting on.Baoyu also said hello and sat on the chair opposite.Jia Rong called: "Pour tea quickly, my aunt and second uncle haven't had tea yet in the upper room."

Mrs. Qin took Sister Feng's hand and said with a forced smile, "It's all my fault. In such a family, the father-in-law and mother-in-law treat her like her own girl. Although my aunt's nephew is young, he also respects me, and I respect you. He has never blushed. Even among the elders and peers of the family, except for my aunt, no one has ever loved me or been kind to me. Now that he has this disease, he has forced me to My in-laws have not been filial for a day, even if my aunt loves me so much, I have a very filial heart, and now I can't. I think to myself, I may not survive the New Year."

Baoyu stared straight at the picture of Begonias sleeping in spring gt;gt; and the couplet written by Qin Taixu "The tender cold locks dreams because of the cold spring, and the fragrant air envelops people like the fragrance of wine", and he thought of sleeping here In the middle of the night, I dreamed about "too illusory land".Just as he was in a trance, hearing Qin's words, like ten thousand arrows gathered in his heart, tears flowed down unconsciously.Although Sister Feng was very sad in her heart, I'm afraid the patient would feel sad when seeing everyone like this, and she didn't come here to enlighten and persuade.Seeing Baoyu like this, Yin said, "Brother Bao, you are like a mother-in-law.

His patient just said that, so how can he reach this field?Besides, no matter how old a person is, he thinks this way and that way when he is a little sick. Isn't this making himself sick? "Jia Rong said." He doesn't need anything else for this disease, he just needs to eat some food and he won't be afraid. "Sister Feng said." Brother Bao, my wife told you to go over quickly.Don't just worry about it here, the daughter-in-law who recruited backwards will also feel bad.

The wife is thinking about you again.Yin said to Jia Rong.Go with your Uncle Bao first, and I'll sit down for a while.Jia Rong heard that he had come to Fangyuan for a meeting with Baoyu.

Here, Sister Feng persuaded Qin Shi again, and said a lot of heartfelt words in a low voice. You sent someone to invite him two or three times, and then Sister Feng said to Qin Shi: "You have a good life, I will come and see again." You, you should be cured of your disease, so someone recommended this good doctor the day before yesterday, and you are not afraid anymore." Qin said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you are a god, if you are cured, you will never die. Auntie, I know my disease It's just living." Sister Feng said: "You just think about it, how can the disease get better? You have to think about it. Besides, I heard from the doctor that if you die, you are afraid that the spring will not be good. Now it's just In September and a half, there are still four or five months to go. What disease can't be cured? If we are people who can't eat ginseng, it's hard to say. Your father-in-law and mother-in-law have heard that you are cured, let alone two dollars a day for ginseng. Even two catties can afford it. Let’s keep it alive, I’m going to the garden.” Qin said again: “Auntie, please forgive me for not following me. I beg Auntie to come and visit me often when I’m free. Ladies, sit down and talk a little bit more." When Sister Feng heard this, her eyes turned red again, and she said, "I will come to see you often when I have free time." So Sister Feng led the women and girls who came with her. The daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law of Bingning's mansion walked around through the gate of the garden from the inside.but only see:

Yellow flowers are all over the ground, and white willows are on the slopes.The small bridge leads to the Ruoye River, and the winding path connects to the rooftop.

road.The clear stream in the stone is turbulent, the fence is fragrant, the red leaves are turning over the tree tops, and the sparse forest is picturesque.

The westerly wind is suddenly tight, and the warbler crows are stopped at the beginning, and the warm days are warm, and the wee talk is added.looking southeast,

Build several pavilions next to the mountains, look across the northwest, and form three pavilions facing the water.Sheng Chunying

Ear.Don't have a romantic feeling, Luo Qi wears the forest, adding charm.Sister Feng is looking at the scenery in the garden by herself, admiring it step by step.Suddenly a man came from behind the rockery, and said to Sister Feng, "Please be safe, sister-in-law." Sister Feng suddenly saw her, looked back and said, "This is Uncle Rui, isn't it?" Jia Rui said "Sister-in-law doesn't even recognize me? It's not who I am!" Sister Feng said, "It's not that I don't recognize you. When I saw it suddenly, I didn't expect it to be the uncle who came here." Jia Rui said: "It's also because I have a relationship with my sister-in-law. Just now I sneaked out of the banquet and scattered in this clean place, and met my sister-in-law who also came from here. Isn't this fate?" As he spoke, he kept looking at Sister Feng.

Sister Feng is a smart person. Seeing his situation, how can she not guess eight or nine points, because she pretended to smile to Jia Rui and said, "I can't blame your brother for always mentioning you and saying that you are very good. See you today, and listen to what you said these days." In a few words, I know you are a smart and kind person. I will go to the wives right now, so I can't talk to you. Let's talk later." Jia Rui said, "I'm going to my sister-in-law's house to say hello. I'm afraid my sister-in-law is young and won't meet people easily." Sister Feng said with a fake smile: "The family is of the same flesh and blood, what are you talking about if you are young or not?" After hearing this, Jia Rui never thought of having this adventure today, and the expression on his face was also the same. It's unbearably ugly.Sister Feng said, "Go to the table quickly, and carefully they will hold you and punish you with wine." After hearing this, Jia Rui was already half numb, and walked slowly while looking back.Sister Feng deliberately delayed her steps, and seeing him go far away, she thought to herself: "This is the one who knows people, knows their faces, but doesn't know their hearts. Where is there such a beast. If he is like this, when will he be killed?" Only in my hands will he know my methods!" So Sister Feng stepped forward.After turning around the first level of the hill, he saw two or three women coming in a hurry, met Sister Feng, and said with a smile: "Our grandma just didn't come when she saw the second grandma. She was in such a hurry that she asked the servants to invite grandma again." Here we come." Sister Feng said, "Your grandma is such a quick-footed ghost." Sister Feng walked slowly and asked, "How many plays have been sung?" The woman replied, "There are eight or nine. It's gone." While speaking, he had already arrived at the back door of Tianxiang Tower, where he saw Baoyu playing with a group of maids.Sister Feng said, "Brother Bao, don't be so naughty." A girl said, "The ladies are all sitting upstairs. Grandma, please go up this way."

After hearing this, Sister Feng picked up her clothes and went upstairs. She saw Youshi was waiting at the stairs.Youshi said with a smile: "You two are very good, and you will never want to come when we see each other. You can move in with him tomorrow. Sit down, and I will respect you for a bell first." So Sister Feng was in Xing Mrs. Wang asked to sit down, and went around in front of Youshi's mother again, and still sat at the same table with Youshi, eating wine and listening to the opera.Mrs. You called for the play list and asked Sister Feng to order, and Sister Feng said, "My wife and wives are here, how dare I order." Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang said: "We and our wife have ordered several times. You order two good ones and we'll listen." Sister Feng stood up and agreed, Fang took the playlist, looked at it from the beginning, clicked lt;lt;Resurrectiongt;gt;, and lt;lt; Tanci gt; gt;, handed over the play list and said: "Now we are singing this lt; lt; Shuangguan Gao gt; gt;, after singing, it is time to sing these two songs again." Mrs. Wang said: " That's not true, you should tell your brother and sister-in-law to rest as soon as possible, and they are not calm." You Shi said: "The wives don't come here often, it would be interesting for the ladies to sit for a while, it's still early. " Sister Feng stood up and looked downstairs, and said, "Where have you guys gone?" A woman next to you said, "You guys just went to Ningxixuan, and took a dozen of them to eat wine there." Sister Feng Er said, "it's not cheap here, and I don't know what to do behind my back!" Youshi laughed and said, "there are all decent people like you there." , Serve the meal.After eating, everyone came out of the garden, sat down in the upper room, had tea, and called the reserve car to bid farewell to Youshi's mother.Youshi led all the concubines and his family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to send them out. Jia Zhen led all his sons and nephews to stand by the car and wait. " Mrs. Wang said: "Forget it, we've been sitting all day today, and we're tired, let's take a rest tomorrow." So they all got into the car and went.Jia Rui looked at Sister Feng from time to time.After Jia Zhen went in, Li Guicai pulled over the horse, Baoyu rode on, and followed Mrs. Wang.Here, the brothers, nephews and nephews of Jia Zhen's same family had dinner, and Fang left.

The next day, it was still a day of trouble among the clansmen, so there is no need to elaborate.After that, Sister Feng came to see Qin in person from time to time.Qin also got better for a few days, and remained the same for a few days.Jia Zhen, Youshi, and Jia Rong are really worried.

Let's say that Jia Rui came to Rongfu several times, but he met Sister Feng and went to Ningfu.This year is the winter solstice on November [-].

In the few days until the festival, Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng sent people to see Qin's family every day. The people who came back said, "I haven't seen Tim sick these days, and I don't see him very well." Jia Mu said: "This symptom, if you don't get sick in such a big festival, you have great hope." Jia Mu said, "But, a good boy, if there are some reasons, it won't hurt to death." Feeling sad for a while, she asked Sister Feng to say: "You two will be healed. Tomorrow is the first day of the new year. After tomorrow, you can go to see him the next day. Look carefully at his face. Situation, if it's better, you come back and tell me, I like it too. You often ask someone to make some of the kid's favorite food and send it to him." Sister Feng agreed one by one.

On the second day of the lunar new year, after breakfast, I came to Ningfu and saw Qin's condition. Although she was not seriously ill, the flesh on her face and body was all thin and dry.So I sat with Qin Shi for half a day, chatted some gossip, and enlightened me again about the fact that the disease is okay.Mrs. Qin said: "Is it good or not, we will know in spring. Now that the winter solstice has passed, it is not so bad, or it will be better. I don't know if my aunt returns to the old lady. Don't worry, my wife. The jujube stuffed that the old lady rewarded yesterday I ate two pieces of yam cake, and it looks like it’s been cured.” Sister Feng said, “I’ll bring it to you tomorrow. I’ll go to your mother-in-law’s place to have a look, and I’m going to hurry back to answer the old lady’s words. " Qin said: "Auntie invites the old lady for me, let the lady rest."

Sister Feng came out when she agreed, and sat down in You's upper room.You said: "How do you look at your wife with cold eyes?" Sister Feng lowered her head for a long time and said, "This is really helpless. You should also give him all the things for the funeral, and wash it for a while." It's good to rush." ​​You Shi said: "I also asked someone to prepare it secretly. It's just that the thing is not good wood, so let's take it easy for now." So Sister Feng had tea and talked for a while, Said: "I want to go back and answer the old lady's words." Youshi said: "You can speak slowly, don't scare the old lady." Sister Feng said: "I know." So Sister Feng came back.When I got home, I met Jia's mother and said, "Brother Rong's daughter-in-law greets the old lady and kowtows to the old lady, saying that he is better, please rest assured the old ancestor. If he is a little better, he will kowtow to the old ancestor to say hello." " Jia Mu said, "What do you think of him?" Sister Feng said, "It's okay for now, he's in good spirits." After hearing this, Jia Mu pondered for a long time, because she said to Sister Feng, "Change your clothes and rest. Let's go."

Sister Feng agreed to come out and met Mrs. Wang. When she got home, Ping'er changed the homely clothes she had baked for Sister Feng.Sister Feng sat down and asked, "Is there anything at home?" Ping'erfang brought tea, handed it over, and said, "Nothing. It's the three hundred silver coins that Wang's daughter-in-law brought in." , I will take it. If Uncle Rui sends someone to ask if Grandma is at home, he will come to ask Ann to speak." Sister Feng heard this, snorted, and said, "This bastard deserves to die, let's see how he comes! " Ping'er asked, "Why does Mr. Rui just come here?" Sister Feng then told Ping'er what he said when she met him in the garden of Ningfu in September.

Ping'er said: "the toad wants to eat swan meat, an inhuman bastard, and he will die if he thinks of it!" Sister Feng said, "when he comes, I will have a reason." I don't know what Jia Rui did when he came. Situation, let's listen to the next chapter.
