Dream of the Red Mansion

It is said that Sister Feng was angry, anxious and sad after hearing the little girl's words. She vomited a mouthful of blood, passed out, and sat on the ground.Ping'er came to lean on him in a hurry, called someone to help him, and slowly sent Sister Feng to his room. He gently placed Sister Feng on the kang, and immediately asked Xiaohong to pour a cup of boiling water and bring it to Sister Feng's lips.Sister Feng took a sip and fell asleep in a coma.Qiutong came over and took a look, but then walked away, and Ping'er didn't call him.Seeing Feng'er standing beside her, Ping'er told him to go back quickly to understand what Second Grandma was vomiting blood and becoming dizzy and couldn't cope, so she told Second Mrs. Xing Wang.Mrs. Xing forgives Sister Feng for hiding her illness, because at this time her father is a lot of people, and it is hard to say anything else, but she doesn't believe it all in her heart, so she just said, "Tell him to rest." Everyone was silent.

It's just that there were a lot of people and guests coming and going that night. Fortunately, a few relatives took care of me.When the servants of the family saw that Sister Feng was not there, they would also take a break to rest their energy.After more than two days, when the distant guests left, the spirit of speech was prepared.All the female relatives in the filial piety cried for a while.Seeing that the mandarin duck had fainted from crying, everyone supported the beating for a while before waking up, and said "the old lady loves me so much, I will follow".Everyone was so sorry that they all had these words when they wept, but they ignored them.At the time of Ci Ling, there were more than a hundred people up and down, and only the mandarin ducks were not there.When everyone is in a hurry, who will pick up some.When Hu Po waited for the people to cry for the funeral, there was no mandarin duck, presumably he was tired of crying and was resting elsewhere temporarily, without speaking.After the resignation, Jia Zheng called Jia Lian outside to ask about the funeral, and they discussed sending someone to look after the house.Jia Lian replied: "The master sent Yun'er to take care of her at home. There is no need for funerals. The servants sent Lin Zhixiao's family to take care of the demolition of the shed. But I don't know who will be sent to look after the house?" Jia Zheng said: "I heard your mother She said that your daughter-in-law was sick and couldn't go, so she told him to stay at home. Your sister-in-law said that your daughter-in-law was very sick, so she asked the fourth girl to accompany her, and took a few girls and women to look after her in the house." Jia Lian Hearing this, I thought to myself: "Sister-in-law Zhen doesn't get along with Si Yatou, so I don't ask him to go. If the superior is to take care of him, it's useless. Our one is sick, and it's hard to take care of him." Think Once, he went back to Jia Zheng and said, "Master, take a rest and come back after we go in and discuss it." Jia Zheng nodded, and Jia Lian went in.

Unexpectedly, Yuanyang cried a lot at this time, thinking, "I have been with the old lady all my life, and my body has not been settled. Although the old man is not at home now, I don't like the behavior of the old lady. The old man is a person who doesn't care about things. From now on The troubled times are kings, and we are going to let them mess with us. Whoever is kept in the house is worthy of the boy. I can't bear this kind of torture. I might as well die cleanly. But what is the way of death for a while? What?" Thinking, walking back to the old lady's apartment.As soon as I stepped through the door, I saw that the lights were dim, and there was a woman holding a sweat towel as if she was about to hang herself.Yuanyang was not frightened, and thought to himself: "Who is this one? It's the same as mine, and I'm ahead of the curve." Then he asked: "Who are you? We both have the same heart, and we are going to die. Die together." The man didn't answer.Yuanyang walked up to her and saw that it wasn't the girl from this house, but when she looked carefully, she disappeared when she felt the air-conditioning invaded her.Yuanyang was stunned for a while, then withdrew and sat down on the edge of the kang, thinking carefully: "Oh, yes, this is Grandma Xiao Rong from the East Mansion! He's already dead, why did he come here? He came to call me. Why did he hang himself again?" After thinking for a while, he said, "Yes, he must have taught me how to die."

When Yuanyang thought about it, the evil invaded his bones, so he stood up, crying, opened the makeup box, took out a lock of hair twisted that year, put it in his bosom, took off a sweat towel on his body, and pressed Qin's hand Fasten it where you want.I cried again, and when I heard the people leaving, I was afraid that someone would come in, so I hurriedly closed the door, then took a footstool and stood on myself, fastened the button of the sweat towel around my throat, and pushed the footstool away. .The poor throat died, the soul of Xiang came out, and there was no refuge, only to see the Qin family looming in front of her, and the soul of the mandarin duck hurried to catch up and said: "Grandma Rong, wait for me." The man said: "I am nothing. Grandma Rong is the younger sister of Jing Huan, but Qing is also." Yuanyang said: "You are obviously Grandma Rong, how can you say you are not?" The man said: "There is also a reason for this, let me tell you, you will naturally understand I used to be the first lover in the Jinghuan Palace. I was in charge of the romantic debt. When I came to the world, I should be the first lover. I should have committed suicide by attracting these infatuated and resentful girls. Seeing through mortal feelings, transcending the sea of ​​love, and returning to the sky of love, so there is no one in charge of the infatuated department in the illusory realm. Today, Fairy Jinghuan has added you to take charge of this department for me, so I ordered me to lead you there "The mandarin duck's soul said: "I am the most ruthless, how can I be regarded as a sentimental person?" The human said: "You don't know yet. The world regards lust as the word "love", so it is made It’s a matter of getting cold and bad, and I still think that Fengyue is sentimental and it’s irrelevant. I don’t know. The word “love” is personality when it’s not expressing emotions, and it’s affection when it’s already expressing emotions. As for you and me, love , It is the unexpressed love, just like the bud of the flower, if you want to vent it, this love will not be true." The soul of the mandarin duck nodded and followed Qin Shi Keqing.

Here, Amber resigned from the coffin, listened to the housekeeper assigned by Mrs. Xing Wang, and wanted to ask Yuanyang how to get on the car tomorrow. She searched in Jiamu's outer room and found the inside of the suite.As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw that the door was closed, and when I looked in through the crack of the door, I saw only half-bright lights, shadows, and I was afraid, but I didn't hear any movement in the room, so I walked back and said: "This hoof Where did you go?" Seeing Pearl, he said, "Have you seen Sister Yuanyang coming?" Pearl said, "I'm looking for him too, the ladies are waiting for him to talk. He must have fallen asleep in the apartment." Amber said: "I saw, there is no one in the house. There is no one holding wax flowers on the lamp. It is dark and scary. I didn't go in. Now let's go in together and see if there is any." Amber was waiting to go in and was holding wax flowers , Pearl said: "Whoever put the footstool here almost tripped me." As she spoke, she looked up, and with a beep, she leaned back and landed on Hu Po's body.Amber saw it too, and yelled, but couldn't move her feet.

The people outside heard it too, and they ran in to have a look, and everyone clamored to report to Mrs. Xing Wang's second wife.Mrs. Wang, Baochai, etc., cried and went to see it.Mrs. Xing said: "I didn't expect Yuanyang to have such ambition. Quickly ask someone to tell the master." Only Baoyu's eyes stood up when he heard this letter.Xiren waited for help in a hurry, and said, "If you want to cry, cry, don't hold your breath." Baoyu cried out desperately, thinking, "A man like Yuanyang dies like this." His aura is only focused on these women. He can be regarded as the place of death, whether we are a piece of dirt, or the children and grandchildren of the old lady, who can catch up with him." Fu liked it again.At that time Baochai heard Baoyu crying and came out. When she came to him, she laughed again when she saw him.The attacker hurriedly said, "It's not good, I'm going crazy again." Baochai said, "It's okay, he has his own meaning." After hearing this, Baoyu liked Baochai's words even more, "But he still knows my heart No one else knows." Just as he was thinking wildly, Jia Zheng waited to come in, sighed really, and said, "Good boy, it's not in vain for the old lady to love him!" He ordered Jia Lian to go out and order someone to buy a coffin overnight, "tomorrow Send it out after the old lady's funeral, and stop behind the old lady's coffin, fulfilling his wishes." Jia Lian agreed to go out.Here people are ordered to put down the mandarin ducks and park them in the inner room.Ping'er knew about it too, and all the others who came over, including Xiren Ying'er, wept bitterly.Zijuan in Neizhong also remembered that she had nothing to do in her life, "I wish I could go with Miss Lin, and I have fulfilled the kindness of master and servant, and got a place to die. Now I am hanging in Baoyu's house, although Baoyu is still tender and sweet, After all, it’s nothing?” So he wept even more bitterly.

Mrs. Wang sent a message to Yuanyang's sister-in-law to come in and ask him to watch the encoffining.After discussing with Mrs. Xing one by one, he rewarded his sister-in-law 100 taels of silver in the old lady's item, and said that he would reward them with all the things of Yuanyang when he was free.His sister-in-law kowtowed and went out, instead she liked to say: "It's true that our girl is ambitious, good-natured, and has gained a good reputation and good fortune." A woman next to her said: "Come on, sister-in-law, what will happen now?" My son, you sold a living girl for a hundred silvers and you fell in love with it so much. You didn’t know how much money you got when you gave it to the old man, so you should be even more proud.” One sentence poked his sister-in-law’s heart, and she became red He turned his face and walked away.As soon as he walked to the second gate, he saw Lin Zhixiao bringing someone into the coffin, so he had no choice but to follow in and help with the funeral, pretending to cry a few times.Because Jia Zheng died for Jia's mother, he asked for incense and put it on for three sticks. He made a bow and said, "he is a sacrificial person, so he should not be treated as a girl. All of you younger generations should salute." Baoyu Hearing this, he was overjoyed, and walked up and kowtowed a few times respectfully.Jia Lian also came up to salute because of his usual benefits, but Mrs. Xing said, "It's all right if you have a man, don't suffer that he won't be born again." It was inconvenient for Jia Lian to come over.When Baochai heard this, she felt very uncomfortable, so she said, "I shouldn't have saluted him, but since the old lady passed away, we all have unfinished business, so we dare not do anything wrong. He is willing to do his filial piety for us, and we should do the same." Toto, he took good care of the old lady to go west for us, and he didn't have to worry about it." He helped Ying'er to the coffin, and while offering a drink, the tears were already streaming down. Bye, I cried hard for him.Some people also said that Baoyu's couple were fools, some said he was kind-hearted, and some said he was polite.On the contrary, Jia Zheng agreed.On the one hand, it was decided that Sister Feng Xichun would still be the housekeeper, and the rest would be sent to accompany the spirits.Who dares to sleep peacefully all night, one to five o'clock, I heard people outside.At the beginning of the morning, Jia Zheng was the elder, weeping and doing his utmost to be a filial son.After the coffin leaves the door, there will be road sacrifices from various families, and the scenery along the way does not need to be described in detail.After walking for half a day, I came to Anling in Tiechan Temple. All filial men should stay with me in the temple, no questions asked.

Let's say that at home, Lin Zhixiao led the shed to be dismantled, the doors and windows were fixed, the yard was cleaned, and patrolmen were sent to watch at night.It's just Rong Mansion's regulations, one or two watch, three doors are closed, men can't get in, only women are inside to check the night.Although Sister Feng gradually became more refreshed after one night, she just moved there.Only Ping'er walked around with Xichun, ordered the people who went to the night, and went back to their rooms.But Zhou Rui's godson, He San, was beaten up by Jia Zhen when Jia Zhen was in charge last year because he had a fight with Bao Er, and he was kicked out and spent all day in the casino.I know that Jia Mu is dead, and there must be some things to take care of. Unexpectedly, after searching for letters for a few days, I didn't think about anything, so I went back to the casino with a sigh and sat down sullenly.Those people then said: "Old man, how are you? Don't you come down to make money?" He San said: "I want to make some money, but I just don't have money."

Those people said: "You went to your uncle Zhou for a few days, and you don't know how much money you got from the house, and you came to pretend to be poor with us again." He San said: "You still say, theirs I don’t know how many millions of gold and silver there are, and they are just kept for use. Tomorrow they will either be burned or stolen by thieves. " He San said: "You don't know yet, the copied ones can't be thrown away. Now the old lady has left a lot of gold and silver after her death, and they don't use any of them. They are all kept in the old lady's room, waiting to be given away. It will only be divided after the funeral." One of them listened to his heart, rolled a few dice, and said: "I lost a few money, and I didn't turn over the book, and went to sleep." Then, he came out to draw He San said: "Old man, let me have a word with you." He San came out with him.The man said: "You are such a smart person, so poor, why do you refuse to accept this?" He San said: "I am poor in life, what can I do?" The man said: "You just said that the money in Rongfu is so low A lot, why don't you go and get some orders?" He San said: "My brother, although his family has a lot of gold and silver, you and I go and ask for a dollar or two for nothing, and they will give us!" The man laughed and said: "He doesn't If you give it to us, we won't take it!" He San heard something in this, and asked, "How do you get it according to your suggestion?" The man said, "I said you don't have the ability. If it were me, I would have taken it long ago." "He San said: "What are your skills?" The man said softly: "If you want to make a fortune, you should lead me. I have many friends who are all talented. Don't say they have sent funerals. How many women are left in the family, no matter how many men there are. I'm afraid you are not so bold." He San said: "Why dare you! Do you forgive me for being afraid of that old man? I just watched The godmother's love only recognizes him as a godfather, and he is a man! What you said just now, I'm afraid it will lead to famine. They are not familiar with the yamen? Don't say they can't get it, if or If you take it, you will make trouble." The man said: "So you are lucky. My friends and those on the beach are here now to watch the limelight and wait for a way. If you get it, you and I It's useless here, why don't we all go to the sea to benefit from it? If you can't let go of your godmother, let's take your godmother too, and let's have a good time, okay?" He San said: "Boss, Don't be drunk, what are you talking about." Then, he dragged the man to a secluded place, the two of them discussed it for a while, and each parted ways.Leave it alone.

In addition, Bao Yong was sent to see the garden by Jia Zheng, and Jia's mother was busy with his affairs, so he never sent him on an errand, and he ignored it. Playing with knives and sticks is free.That day, Jiamu went to the funeral early in the morning. Although he knew it, because he was not sent on an errand, he wandered around at will.I saw a nun brought a Taoist woman to the waist gate of the garden to knock the door. Bao Yong came and said, "Where is the female master?" The funeral must be at home. I think he is lonely, so our master came to see him." Bao Yong said: "The master is not at home, I will see the gate of the garden, please go back. If you want to come, wait for the masters Come back when you come back." The mother-in-law said: "You are a black charcoal head from there, and you have to control our movement." Bao Yong said: "I dislike you people, I won't ask you to come, you have What way!" The old woman got angry and shouted: "This is all against the sky! Even the old lady can't stop us from going around in Japan, you are such a tyrannical bandit there, so you can't There's no way. I'm going to go here!" As he spoke, he slammed his hand on the door knocker several times.Miaoyu was so angry that she didn't speak, and was about to turn around and leave, but the woman who was watching the second door seemed to hear someone quarreling, opened the door and saw that it was Miaoyu, she had already turned around and walked away, knowing that Bao Yong must have offended and left up.Recently, the women all know that the wives and four girls above are very close. They are afraid that he will say that he will not let him in at the door in the future. How can he bear it at that time? The fourth girl is still thinking about her master at home, please come back quickly. The boy who looks after the garden is a newcomer, he doesn't know about our business, so come back to his wife, give him a good beating and kick him out." Although Miaoyu heard it, Always ignore him.The old woman who had to watch the waist door caught up and begged again and again, and then she said that she was afraid that she would not be responsible, and almost knelt down in a hurry. Miaoyu had no choice but to follow the old woman.Seeing such a situation, Bao Yong naturally couldn't stop him, so he stared and sighed angrily back.

Here Miaoyu took Daopo to Xichun's place, expressed her annoyance and talked some gossip.Speaking of "staying at home to watch the house, I had to stay up for a few nights. But the second grandma was sick, and she was bored and scared by herself. I was relieved to have someone here. Now there is no man here. Since you are here today, Would you like to stay with me for a night, let's play chess and talk, okay?" Miaoyu didn't want to, but seeing Xichun's pity, she brought up playing chess again, she agreed for a while, and sent the Taoist woman back to get his tea set, clothes and mattress, Order the servant to send it over, and we sit and talk all night.Xichun was very lucky, so she ordered Caiping to turn on last year's rain and prepare tea.That Miaoyu has her own tea set.Not long after the Taoist woman left, another waiter came and brought Miaoyu's daily necessities.Xichun cooks the tea herself.The two talked speculatively for a long time, and it was already the time of the first change, the color screen put down the chessboard, and the two played chess.Xichun lost two games in a row, Miaoyu conceded another four, and Xichun won the half.At this time, it was the fourth watch, the sky was vast, and everything was silent.Miaoyu said: "I have to meditate once at five o'clock. I have someone to wait on me. You go and rest yourself."Just as they were about to rest, they suddenly heard people shouting from the people in the house on the east side, and the old women in Xichun's place also shouted: "It's amazing! There's someone here!" , I heard the man shouting from the night outside.Miaoyu said: "It's not good, there must be a thief here." Just as he was talking, he didn't dare to open the door here, so he covered up the lights.Looking out of the window, there are only a few men standing in the courtyard, too terrified to make a sound, they turned around, waved their hands and gently climbed down, saying, "It's amazing, there are some big men standing outside." , and heard the sound from the room, and people from the night outside came in to yell and catch the thief.A person said: "All the things in the upper room are lost, and no one is seen. Someone has gone to the east, let's go to the west." Xichun's old woman heard that there was someone of her own, so she said in the outer room: "There are many people here. I'm in the room." Everyone who went to the night said: "Look, isn't this the case?" Everyone shouted together.Just hearing a lot of tiles flying down from the room, no one dared to go forward.Just being helpless, I only heard a loud bang at the waist gate of the garden gate. When I entered the gate, I saw a tall man with a stick in his hand.The crowd was too scared to hide, and the man shouted, "Don't let one of them run away! You all come with me."

After hearing this, these family members became more and more frightened, and couldn't even run.I saw this man standing on the spot and just shouting, a sharp-eyed member of the family could tell who you are, it was Bao Yong who was recommended by the Zhen family.These family members felt courageous, and said tremblingly: "One of them is gone, and the other is on the roof." Bao Yong threw himself to the ground, jumped up on the roof and chased after the thief.These thieves knew that there was no one in Jia's house, so they peeked at Xichun's room in the courtyard first, and saw a stunning nun, so they became lustful, and they bullied all the women in the room, and they were afraid, and were about to kick in the door, because they heard Someone outside came in to chase, so the thieves went to the house.Seeing that there were not many people, they still wanted to resist, but when they suddenly saw a person rushing to the house, the thieves saw that it was only one person, and they became more unreasonable, so they resisted with short soldiers.Then Bao Yong beat him hard with a stick, knocking the thief out of the house.The thieves ran away and passed by the garden wall. Bao Yong also chased them from the house.Unexpectedly, there were a few hidden in the garden to pick up the stolen goods, and many of them had already been taken. Seeing the thieves running back, everyone raised their weapons to protect them.When Bao Yong saw it, he said angrily: "These thieves! Dare to fight with me!" The gang of thieves said, "One of our guys was knocked down by them. He didn't know how to live or die, so we simply snatched him out." Here Bao Yong Hearing the sound, they started to fight, and the gang of thieves picked up their weapons, and four or five people surrounded Bao Yong and started fighting.The people outside at night also relied on their courage and rushed over.Seeing that they couldn't fight him, the thieves had to run away.When Bao Yong was about to catch up, he was tripped by a box. When he stopped to look at it, he thought that the things had not been lost, and the thieves had fled far away, so he did not pursue them.So he asked everyone to light the lamps, and there were only a few empty boxes on the ground, and they were told to clean them up, so he wanted to run back to the upper room.Because I didn't know the way, I went to Sister Feng's side and saw the bright lights inside, so I asked, "Is there a thief here?" Where are the thieves? Go there." Bao Yong was at a loss for the way, when he saw the people from Shangye approaching from afar, he followed them to the upper house.Seeing that the door was opened, those who went to night were crying there.

All of a sudden Jia Yunlin's filial piety came in and saw that it was stolen.Everyone was in a hurry to check inside, the door of the old lady's room was opened wide, she turned on the light, twisted the lock, went in and saw that the cabinet had been opened, and scolded the women who went to the night: "Are you all dead! Don’t you know that the thieves come in!” The people who went to the night cried and said: “We are in charge of the second and third shifts. We didn’t stop and go back and forth. We are off work. I only heard them shouting, but no one was seen. They rushed to take care of them. I don’t know when they lost their things. Please ask the four or five watches.” Lin Zhixiao said: “You are all going to die, come back Besides, let's look around first." The man who went to the night led him to You Shi's side, the door was closed tightly, and a few voices said: "You're scaring us to death." Lin Zhixiao asked: "There is nothing here. Lost something?" The person inside opened the door and said, "There is nothing lost here." Lin Zhixiao led the people into the Xichun Courtyard, only to hear the inside say: "It's amazing! You've scared the girl to death, just wake up. .” Lin Zhixiao asked someone to open the door and asked what was the matter.The woman inside opened the door and said: "The thief is fighting here, scaring the girl to death. Thanks to Master Miao and Caiping, she was rescued. The things are not lost." Lin Zhixiao said: "How do the thieves fight?" The man who went to the night Said: "Fortunately, Uncle Bao went to the room and beat the thief away, and I heard that a person was knocked down." Bao Yong said, "It's at the gate of the garden." The underground is dead.Taking a closer look, he looks like Zhou Rui's godson.Everyone was surprised when they saw it, so they sent one person to guard and two people to look after the front and back doors, but they were still locked.

Lin Zhixiao asked someone to open the door, reported to the battalion officer, and came to investigate immediately.When I checked the thief's trail, I went up to the house from the back road. When I arrived at the west courtyard house, I saw that the tile was broken and went all the way through the back garden.All Shangye said in unison: "This is not a thief, but a robber." The battalion officer said anxiously, "It's not a stick with an open fire, how can it be considered a robber." Shangye said: "We chased the thief, and he threw tiles on the house. We can't come near, fortunately our family's surname Bao went to the room and repelled. When we rushed to the garden, there were still several thieves who fought against Bao. Here again, if it’s a robber, it’s no match for your people. Needless to say, you quickly found out the things and handed over the missing list, so we’ll just report it.”

When Jia Yun went to the upper room again, she saw Sister Feng coming to help her sick, and Xichun also came.Jia Yun invites Sister Feng to greet her, and asks Xichun how she is.Everyone checked the lost property, because the mandarin duck was dead, and Amber sent the spirit away again. Those things belonged to the old lady, and they were not found. They just blocked it, and now they are going to check from there.Everyone said: "There are a lot of things in the box, and now it is empty. It was not young to steal it. Those who went to the night don't care! Besides, the thief who was killed was Zhou Rui's godson, and they must be in the same spirit." When Sister Feng heard this, she stared angrily and said, "Tie up those women who went to the night and hand them over to the camp for interrogation."I don't know how to distribute it, and whether the lost things are found or not will be decomposed next time.
