Dream of the Red Mansion

It is said that Baoyu raised his eyes and saw the king of Beijing wearing a pure white hairpin tassel and silver-winged king hat on his head, wearing a dragon-white python robe with five claws sitting in Jiangya seawater, and wearing a jasper red belt. His face is like beautiful jade, and his eyes are like stars. What a beautiful person .Baoyu rushed up to see him, and Shui Rong stretched out his hand from the sedan chair to hold him.Seeing Baoyu wearing a silver crown with hair tied, strangling two dragons out to sea to wipe his forehead, wearing white python arrow sleeves, surrounded by a silver belt with pearls, his face is like spring flowers, and his eyes are like lacquer.Shui Rong said with a smile: "The name is well-deserved, it really is. Bao'like. Jade'." Because he asked, "Where is the treasure in the title?" Seeing Baoyu asking, he quickly took it from his clothes and handed it to him.Shui Rong looked at it carefully, and then read the above words, because he asked: "Is the fruit effective?" I was so lucky that I took it with Baoyu in person, and asked Baoyu how old he was and what book he read together.Baoyu agreed one by one.

Shui Rong saw that his speech was clear and eloquent, and smiled at Jia Zheng: "My son is really a dragon, a colt, and a young phoenix. It's not that the little king is abrupt in front of the old man. In the future, the young phoenix is ​​as clear as the old phoenix's voice, which is immeasurable. " Jia Zheng hurriedly laughed and said: "How dare a dog mistakenly accept the gold medal. Yu Zhen of Lai Fan County, if he says so, he will be lucky in his lifetime." Shui Rong said again: "It's just one thing. If your son is so qualified, I miss the old lady." Madam, Madam loves you very much, but it is not suitable for my descendants to be fond of you. If you are fond of love, you will lose your studies. Xiao Wang has done this before, and it is not necessarily the case if you think of your son. If your son is difficult to work hard at home, you might as well often Go to Handi. Although Xiao Wang is not talented, he is popular among all the famous people in the sea. Everyone who comes to the capital does not fail to look at him. Because of Handi, there are quite a lot of high-ranking people. Your son often goes to conferences, and his knowledge can be improved day by day. .” Jia Zheng hurriedly bowed and agreed.

Shui Rong took off a string of rosary beads from his wrist again, and handed them to Baoyu, saying: "Today's first meeting, there is nothing to congratulate in a hurry. This is a string of incense rosary beads given to me by the Holy Father the day before yesterday. It is a gift of congratulations." Baoyu He quickly picked it up and turned around to serve Jia Zheng.Jia Zheng and Baoyu thanked each other.So Jia Amnesty, Jia Zhen and others came up to ask for help, and Shui Rong said: "The deceased has already ascended to the fairy world, and he is no longer a person in the world of you and me. Although Xiao Wang has expressed his kindness and invited the county to attack him, how can he surpass him?" Immortals go ahead?" Jia Amnesty and the others saw that they were determined not to follow, so they had to say goodbye to Xie En and come back, ordering his subordinates to cover up the music and stop the sound, and the funeral was over in a lively manner before Shui Rong went back to his home.No problem.

Besides, the funeral in Ningfu was very lively.Just before the city gate, there were Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen and other colleagues from the sacrificial sheds to receive the sacrifices, thanked them one by one, and then went out of the city to the road of Tiechan Temple.At that time, Jia Zhen brought Jia Rong to the elders and let them sit in sedan chairs and mount their horses. Therefore, Jia She's generation got into their sedan chairs, and Jia Zhen's generation would also mount their horses.Because Sister Feng was concerned about Baoyu, she was afraid that he would show off in the suburbs and disobey his family's words. Jia Zheng couldn't take care of these trivial matters, lest something slipped and it would be difficult to see Jia's mother, so she ordered her servant to call him.Baoyu had no choice but to come to his car.Sister Feng said with a smile, "My good brother, you are a noble man with the same character as a girl. Don't imitate their horses. Come down, let's ride in the car, wouldn't it be good?" Baoyu heard that he got off the horse in a hurry, Climb into Sister Feng's car, and the two come chatting and laughing.

Not for a while, I saw two horses flying from the other side, not far from Sister Feng's car, they jumped down together, helped the car back and said, "There is a place here, grandma, please rest and change clothes." Sister Feng urgently asked Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang Under the instruction, the man came back and said: "The ladies said there is no need to rest, let grandma do it herself." After hearing this, Sister Feng ordered to rest before leaving.After hearing this, all the young men took a shaft horse, diverted from the crowd, and flew away to the north.Baoyu hurriedly asked Qin Xianggong in the car.At that time, Qin Zhong was riding with his father's sedan chair, when he suddenly saw Baoyu's young servant running up and asked him to sharpen.When Qin Zhong looked at it, he saw Sister Feng's car heading north, with Baoyu's horse behind it, with a saddle cage. Knowing that Baoyu and Sister Feng were in the car, he took the horse to catch up and entered the same village gate.Some family members drove all Zhuang Han out.There are not many houses in that farmer's house, and the women have nowhere to hide, so they have to go.Those village aunts and village women who saw Fengjie, Baoyu, Qin Zhong's clothes, etiquette and style, wouldn't they like to see them?

At that time, Sister Feng entered the thatched cottage, and ordered Baoyu and others to go out first to be stubborn.Baoyu and others understood, because they came out with Qin Zhong, and took the boys to wander around.None of the things used by the peasants have ever been seen.When Baoyu saw the shovel, shovel, hoe, plow and other things, he was all surprised. He didn't know what they were used for and what their names were.The little servant told the names and colors one by one, explaining the whole story.When Baoyu heard this, he nodded and sighed: "It is said in the ancient poems of strange ways.

Who knows that every piece of Chinese food is hard work, and that's why. "While talking, I went to a room and saw a spinning wheel on the kang. Baoyu asked the boys again." What is this? "The boys told him the whole story again. When Baoyu heard about it, he came up to twist it around for fun. I saw a village girl about seventeen or eighteen years old running around and shouting." Don't move! "All the boys were busy drinking to stop him. Baoyu hurriedly threw away his hands and said with a smile." Since I haven't seen this before, I will give him a try. "The girl said." Where do you know how to do this, stand away, and I will tell you. "Qin Zhong secretly pulled Baoyu and said with a smile." This Qing is very interesting. "Baoyu pushed it away and said with a smile." Damn it!No more nonsense, and I will fight. "Speaking, I saw that girl spinning the thread. Just as Baoyu was about to speak, the old woman over there called out." Second girl, come here! "When the girl heard this, she left the spinning wheel and went straight away.

Baoyu was disappointed and bored.Sister Feng sent someone to tell him to go in.Sister Feng washed her hands, changed her clothes and shook the ashes, and asked them if they wanted to change.If you don't want to change Baoyu, you have to.The servants at home will bring teapots, teacups, brocade drawers and all kinds of snacks for the journey. Sister Feng will get up and get on the bus after they have finished packing after having tea.Outside, Wang'er was going to award a reward to the owner of the village.Mrs. Zhuang waited to kowtow and reward.Sister Feng didn't care, but when Baoyu looked carefully, there were no second girls in the room.After getting into the car for a while, I didn't walk very far when I saw the second girl holding his little brother in her arms, talking and laughing with a few little girls.Baoyu wished to get out of the car and follow him, but it was expected that the crowd would not follow him, so they would see each other off with their eyes.

After a short walk, I still followed the funeral.There has long been a Dharma drum in front of the golden cymbals, and banners and treasure covers: all the monks from the Tiekan Temple have come together.When I was young, I went to the temple, performed another Buddhist ceremony, and reset the incense altar.Anling is in the side room of the inner hall, and Baozhu is in the inner bedroom.Outside, Jia Zhen entertained a group of relatives and friends, some disturbed the meal, some left without eating, and some thanked them for their lack of food. They left together from the princes and uncles to the end of the day.All the guests inside were received by Sister Feng, Zhang Luo. They dispersed first at the order of the official, and then dispersed at noon when there was a big mistake.

There are only a few relatives who are close, and they will go to the Anling Dojo after three days.At that time, Xing and Mrs. Wang's second wife knew that Sister Feng would not be able to come home, so she was going to the city.Mrs. Wang wants to take Baoyu. When Baoyu first arrives in the suburbs, she is willing to go back there, as long as she lives with Sister Feng.Mrs. Wang had no choice but to hand it over to Sister Feng and came back.It turns out that this Tiekan Temple was originally built by Ning Rong Ergong on that day, and now there are still offerings of incense and land, in case the elderly population in Beijing, they can be stored here cheaply.Among them, both the yin and yang houses have been prepared properly for the souls to live in.I don’t want the population of the younger generations to be prosperous nowadays, among them the rich and the poor are different, or their temperaments are involved in business: there are those who have a difficult and stable family business, so they live here, and those who are ostentatious and rich, just say that this place is inconvenient. Find a place in the village or a nunnery for a retreat after the banquet.Now that the Qin family is in mourning, all members of the family have the right to stay at Tikan Temple, but only Sister Feng thinks it is inconvenient, so she sent someone early to tell Jingxu, the sister-in-law of the Mantou Temple, and vacated two houses to serve as servants.It turns out that this mantou nunnery is Shuiyue nunnery. Because of the good steamed buns made in his temple, it was named so, not far from Tiekan temple.At present, the monk's work class is over, and after tea and dinner, Jia Zhen orders Jia Rong to ask Sister Feng to have a rest.Seeing that there were still several sisters-in-law accompanying her father, Sister Feng resigned from everyone and took Baoyu and Qin Zhong to Shuiyue Nunnery.It turned out that Qin Ye was too old and sick to be here, so he ordered Qin Zhong to wait for An Ling.Then Qin Zhong followed Sister Feng and Baoyu to Shuiyue Nunnery for a while. Jingxu led Zhishan, and Zhishan's two disciples came out to meet him. Everyone has seen it.After Sister Feng came to the clean room to change clothes and wash her hands, she saw that Zhizhi'er had grown taller and looked more exhilarated, so she said, "Why don't you master and apprentice come to us these days?" Jingxu said: "But this I didn't have time for a few days, because the son was born in Master Hu's mansion, and his wife sent ten taels of silver to come here, and asked several masters to recite for three days. , so I didn’t come to invite grandma’s Ann.” Bu Yan Lao Ni accompanied Sister Feng.Let's talk about Qin Zhong and Baoyu playing in the hall. Seeing wisdom coming, Baoyu said with a smile, "Nenger is here." Qin Zhong said, "What are you doing with that thing?" In the old lady’s room, there is no one. What are you doing with your arms around him? You’re coaxing me now.” Qin Zhong laughed and said, “That’s not the case.” Baoyu laughed and said, “It doesn’t matter if you are there or not, as long as you Tell him to pour a bowl of tea for me to eat, and then throw away his hand." Qin Zhong laughed and said, "This is strange again. You told him to pour it, but are you afraid that he won't pour it? Why should I tell you?" Baoyu said: " What I told him to pour was heartless, not as good as what you told him to pour was affectionate." Qin Zhong had no choice but to say: "Neng Er, pour me a bowl of tea." People don't know each other, because they often joke with Baoyu and Qin Zhong.Now that he is older, he gradually understands Fengyue, so he has his eyes on Qin Zhong's romantic character, and Qin Zhong also loves his beauty very much, although the two have not gotten to know each other, they have already hit it off.When Jin Zhi saw Qin Zhong, his eyes were wide open, and he went to pour tea.Qin Zhong smiled and said, "Give it to me." Baoyu called, "Give it to me!" Smarter pursed his lips and said with a smile, "I'm also fighting for a bowl of tea. Do I have honey in my hand?" Asking questions, I saw Zhishan came to ask Zhizhi to set the tea saucers, and I came here to invite the two of them to have tea and fruit snacks.The two of them ate these things there, and they still came out to play after sitting down.

Sister Feng also sat for a while, then went back to the clean room to rest, and the old nun saw her off.At this time, all the women and daughters-in-law saw that there was nothing to do, so they all dispersed one after another, and went to rest by themselves. There were only a few confidantes and maidservants in front of them, so the old nun took the opportunity and said: "I have something to do. I want to go to the mansion to ask my wife, please grandma first." Give me a hint." Sister Feng asked what was the matter.The old nun said: "Amitabha! It's only because that day when I first became a monk in the Shancai Nunnery in Chang'an County. At that time, there was a benefactor named Zhang who was a rich man. He had a daughter named Jin Ge who went to me that year. When I came to offer incense in the temple, I didn't want to meet Li Yanei, the brother-in-law of the Grand Master of the Chang'an Mansion. Li Yanei was determined to marry Jin Ge, and sent someone to propose marriage, but Jin Ge had already been hired by the son of the former guard of Chang'an. If the Zhang family retired, they were afraid that the defense would not obey, so they said they already had a family. Unexpectedly, Mr. Li insisted on not obeying and would marry his daughter. Come to practice insults, saying that a daughter of Xu's family refused to withdraw the ceremony, so they filed a lawsuit and sued. The Zhang family was in a hurry, so they had to go to Beijing to find a way out, and they wanted to withdraw the ceremony in a fit of anger. I think Chang'an Jiedu now Master Yun is the closest to the family, so you can ask your wife to talk to the master, send a letter, and ask Master Yun to talk to the guard, so that you are not afraid that the guard will not obey. If you are willing, the Zhang family will be willing to be filial to the whole family."

Sister Feng laughed and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just that my wife doesn't care about such things anymore." The old nun said, "If my wife doesn't care, grandma can make her own claim." Sister Feng laughed and said, "I don't wait for money, I don't do such a thing." After hearing this, Jingxu dismissed his delusions, and sighed for a while: "Although the Zhang family knows that I have come to ask for the mansion, now they don't care about this matter. The Zhang family doesn't know that they don't have time to take care of it. , I don’t care for his thank you gift, it’s like the mansion doesn’t even have such an idea.”

When Sister Feng heard this, she became very excited and said, "You know me all day long, and you never believe in the retribution of hell in the underworld. Whatever it is, I can do it if I say it. You ask him to bring three thousand silver coins." , I’ll vent it on his behalf.” When the old nun heard this, he couldn’t help but say, “Yes, yes! It’s not difficult.” Sister Feng said again: “I can’t compare to the money they pull and pull. The three thousand silver is just a entanglement for the boy who is sent away, so that he can earn a few hard-earned money, and I don't want any money from him. Even if it is 3 taels, I can afford it now." The old nun hurriedly Agreed, and said: "In that case, grandma will be kind to you tomorrow." Sister Feng said: "Look at how busy I am, where is I missing? Now that I have accepted you, it will be over quickly." The old nun said : "I don't know what to do with this idea in front of others. If it's in front of grandma, it's not enough for grandma to add more. It's just a saying. Those who can do more work." My wife sees grandma because of big and small things It's appropriate, the more sex is passed on to grandma, and grandma should also take care of her body." The flattering Sister Feng became more and more useful, and she talked even more regardless of fatigue.

Who would have thought that Qin Zhong would seek wisdom while there was no one else in the dark.As soon as he arrived in the back room, he saw Zhizhi washing tea bowls alone in the room, when Qin Zhong came running and hugged him and kissed him.Zhizhi stomped anxiously and said, "What is this? If you do this again, I will call you." Qin Zhong begged, "Good man, I am dying of anxiety. If you don't follow me today, I will die here." Zhizhi said, "What do you want? Unless I get out of this prison and get rid of these people, I will follow you." Qin Zhong said: "It's easy, but the water in the distance can't save the thirsty near." As he said, he blew on the lamp, the room was dark, and his intelligence Hold it on the kang, and it will rain.Those who are so intelligent that they can't afford to struggle, and they are not easy to shout, have to rely on him.Just when I was having fun, I saw one person come in and hold the two of them down without making a sound.The two of them didn't know who it was, so they dared not move.Hearing the man's sneer, he couldn't help laughing, and the two of them knew it was Baoyu.Qin Zhong got up quickly and complained, "What is this?" Baoyu laughed and said, "If you don't agree, let's shout." The shy Zhizhi ran away in the dark.Baoyu pulled Qin Zhong out and said, "Are you still fighting against me?" Qin Zhong laughed and said, "Good man, just don't let everyone know by shouting. I will do whatever you want." Baoyu laughed and said, "This meeting Needless to say, after I go to sleep, I will settle the accounts carefully." For a time when I undress and rest, Sister Feng is in the inner room, Qin Zhong and Baoyu are in the outer room, and the ground is full of women who are at home, sitting in bed.Fearing that the psychic jade would be lost, Sister Feng waited for Baoyu to sleep and ordered someone to bring it to her pillow.Baoyu didn't know what account he had to calculate with Qin Zhong. He didn't see it clearly, and he didn't remember it. This is a suspicious case and he dare not compile it.

There was nothing to say all night.In the early morning of the next day, Mrs. Jia Muwang sent someone to see Baoyu, and ordered to wear two more clothes, and would rather go back if nothing happened.Where Baoyu is willing to go back, and Qin Zhong is in love with Zhizhi, and instigates Baoyu to beg Sister Feng to stay for another day.Sister Feng thought about it for a while: although all the major funeral ceremonies are in place, there are still half of the small things that have not been arranged. You can point out that if you stay here for another day, you will be full of love in front of Jia Zhen. The third is to follow Baoyu's heart. Wouldn't Jiamu be happy when she heard it?Because of these three benefits, he said to Baoyu, "my business is over. If you want to go shopping here, you will have to work hard for a day. Tomorrow, you must go." He begged: "Just stay for one day, and I will go back tomorrow." So I stayed for another night.

Sister Feng then ordered to quietly tell Lai Wanger what happened to the old nun yesterday.Lai Wang'er knew it all in her heart, and hurried to the city to find the husband-in-law of the master, and under the guise of Jia Lian's order, he revised a book and came to Chang'an County overnight.The Jiedu envoy called Yunguang, who had seen Jia's affection for a long time, how could he not allow such a small matter, so he wrote back and Wang'er came back.Not to mention.

But she said that Sister Feng waited for another day, and said goodbye to the old nun the next day, and asked him to go to the mansion to ask for letters in three days.Qin Zhong and Zhizhi couldn't bear to be separated in every possible way, and there was no need to describe how many secret agreements they had secretly made, they had to leave with hatred.Sister Feng went to Tiekan Temple to take care of her again.Baozhu insisted on refusing to go home, so Jiazhen had to send a woman to accompany her.See you later.
