Dream of the Red Mansion

It is said that Jia Lian heard that Sister Feng had something to discuss, so he stopped and asked what it was.Sister Feng said: "21 is Sister Xue's birthday, how are you?" Jia Lian said: "I know how! You have even prepared for many birthdays, and now you have no idea?" Sister Feng said: " Big birthday cooking, but there are certain rules. Now his birthday is big or small, so I discuss it with you." Jia Lian listened, bowed his head and thought for a long time: "You are confused today. Sister Lin is an example of the current ratio. How I did it to Sister Lin in the past, now I just do it to Sister Xue." Sister Feng sneered after hearing this: "Don't I even know this? I did the same I've made up my mind. But yesterday I heard the old lady say that when I asked about everyone's age and birthday, I heard that sister Xue is 15 years old this year. Although it is not a full birthday, it is considered to be a year of age. The old lady said that she would celebrate his birthday for him. If you think about it If you really do it for him, it will be different from what you did with Sister Lin in previous years." Jia Lian said. "Since that's the case, it's more than sister Lin's." Sister Feng said. "I'm thinking the same thing, so I'm trying to please you. If I add something privately, you'll blame me for not telling you." Jia Lian laughed. "Come on, let's go, I don't accept this empty offer. It's enough if you don't investigate me, and I blame you!" As he said, he went straight away, without further ado.

Let's say that Shi Xiangyun stayed for two days because he wanted to go back.Jia Muyin said: "After your sister Bao's birthday, go back after watching the play." Shi Xiangyun heard this and had to stay.On the other hand, he sent people back to fetch the two-color needlework he had done in the past as a ceremony for Baochai's birthday.

Who would have thought that when Mother Jia saw Baochai coming, she would like him to be steady and peaceful. It was just his first birthday, so she paid 20 taels of her own money, called Sister Feng, and gave him a wine and a show.Sister Feng joked and said: "An old ancestor celebrates the children's birthdays, no matter what, who dares to fight, and what kind of wine show. If you want to be happy and lively, you can't say how much you spend. Baba finds out this rotten 20 Two pieces of silver came to be the host, which means that I have to pay for it. Sure enough, it’s worth it if you can’t get it out. Gold, silver, round, flat, and the bottom of the box collapsed, just to restrain us. Look up and see who is not Sons and daughters? Could it be that in the future only Brother Bao can support your old man to go to Wutai Mountain? Those ladders are only reserved for him. Although we are not worthy to use them now, don’t make us suffer. Is this enough for wine? Enough for drama?" The room was full of words. They all laughed.

Jia's mother also laughed and said, "Listen to this! I'm good at talking, but I can't say anything about this monkey. Your mother-in-law doesn't dare to force her mouth, you are with me." Sister Feng laughed and said, "My mother-in-law is too. Paining Baoyu the same way, I have nowhere to complain, but say I am strong." Then, he made Jia Mu laugh again, and Jia Mu was very happy.In the evening, all the people were in front of Jia Mu. After she was in a coma, when the mothers and sisters of the big family were talking and laughing, Jia Mu asked Baochai what plays he liked to listen to and what he liked to eat.Baochai knew very well that Jiamu was an old man who liked lively dramas and sweet and rotten food, so she always said what Jiamu used to like.Mother Jia was even more joyful.The next day, I sent clothes and playthings first. Mrs. Wang, Sister Feng, Daiyu and others all have different points, so there is no need to remember.On the 21st, a homely small stage was set up in Jiamu's inner courtyard, and a new troupe of small plays was scheduled, with both Kun and Yi accents.Just in Jiamu's upper room, there were several family banquets, and there was no outsider, only Aunt Xue, Shi Xiangyun, and Baochai were guests, and the rest were their own people.When Baoyu got up early that day, because he didn't see Lin Daiyu, he went to look for him in his room, and saw Lin Daiyu lying on the kang.Baoyu said with a smile, "Get up and eat, and the show will begin. Which one do you like to see? I'll be better." Lin Daiyu sneered and said, "Since you said so, you specially called a troupe of plays to sing for me. I see. It's not worth it at this moment. Let someone ask me for an excuse." Baoyu smiled and said, "What's so difficult about it. Let's do it tomorrow, and ask them to borrow our light." As he said, he pulled him up Come and go out hand in hand.

When ordering a play after dinner, Mother Jia must ask Baochai to order first.Baochai pushed back again, but she couldn't, so she had to order a discount.Mother Jia was very happy, and then ordered Sister Feng to order.Sister Feng also knew that Jia's mother liked to be lively, and she liked to make jokes, so she ordered Liu Erdangyi.Jia Mu really liked it more, and then ordered Daiyu to order it.Daiyu asked Aunt Xue, Mrs. Wang, to wait.Jia Mu said: "Today I took you to make fun of me. Let's just take care of us and ignore them. Can't I put wine in Baba's opera for them? They are here for nothing. It's already cheap. Let them Let's go!" Everyone laughed.Dai Yufang clicked it out.Then Baoyu, Shi Xiangyun, Ying, Tan, Xi, Li Wan and so on all ordered, and took over the performance.At the banquet, Jia's mother ordered Baochai to order again.Baochai clicked out <Lu Zhishen was drunk and made trouble in Mount Wutai>gt;.Baoyu said: "I have to order these plays." Baochai said: "You have listened to these plays for nothing, how do you know the benefits of this play, the scenes are good, and the rhetoric is better." Baoyu said: "I have never been afraid of these Lively." Baochai laughed and said, "If you want to say that this play is lively, you still don't know how to play it. Come here, and I'll tell you whether this play is lively or not." The lips gt;gt;, sonorous and frustrating, needless to say the rhythm is good, but there is a lt;lt;parasitic grass gt;gt; in the rhetoric, which fills in wonderfully, how did you know it." Baoyu saw what he said. Well, I came closer and begged, "My dear sister, read to me." Baochai then read:

Man つ hero tears, away from the scholar's house.Xie Ci was ordained under the lotus platform.There is no way to separate in a blink of an eye.Naked come and go without care.Where is it a single line to discuss smoke, rain, hats and hats?Once my straw shoes break the bowl and follow the fate!When Baoyu heard this, he patted his knees and drew circles with joy, admiring him endlessly, and praised Baochai for knowing that he had no books. Makeup is crazy>>>." Xiang Yun who said that also laughed.So everyone went to the theater.At the end of the evening, Mother Jia loved the Xiaodan and the clown very much, and she ordered someone to bring them in, and she became more and more pitiful when she looked closely.Because of the age, Xiao Dan was only 11 years old, and the clown was only [-] years old. Everyone sighed.Jia Mu asked him to take some more meat and fruit with him, and rewarded him with two strings of money.Sister Feng said with a smile, "this child looks like a person. You can't tell anymore." Baochai knew it in her heart, so she just smiled and refused to say it.Baoyu also guessed, but dare not say.Shi Xiangyun then laughed and said, "It looks like sister Lin." Baoyu listened and took a quick look at Xiangyun.But when everyone heard this, they looked carefully and laughed, saying that it was really good.Dispersed for a while.

In the evening, when Xiangyun changed his clothes, he ordered Cuilu to unpack and wrap up the clothes.Cuilu said: "What are you busy with? It won't be too late when you go." Xiangyun said: "Leave early in the morning. What are you doing here? Look at other people's noses and eyes, what do you mean!" Baoyu heard this He quickly pulled him up and said, "My good sister, you have wronged me. Sister Lin is a suspicious person. Others know it clearly, and they refuse to say it because they are afraid that he will be annoyed. Who would have thought that you would say it without guarding your head?" If you come out, wouldn't he be annoyed at you. I was afraid that you would offend him, so I winked. You are annoying me now, not only failing me, but also wronging me. If someone else, even if he offended ten people, What have you got to do with me." Xiangyun wrestled his hands and said, "Don't coax me with your sweet words. I'm not as good as your sister Lin. It's okay for others to talk about him and make fun of him, but I'm not worthy of it. Talk about him. He is the master of the young lady, and I am a slave girl. If I offend him, I can't do it!" Baoyu said anxiously: "I did it for you, but I didn't come here. Tell thousands of people to trample and kick!" Xiangyun said: "During the first lunar month, don't believe in nonsense. These insignificant oaths, gossip, and crooked words, for those petty and annoying people, will be ruled. Listen to your people! Don't tell me to spit on you." Then, he went to Jiamu's room and lay down angrily.

Baoyu was bored, so he had to look for Daiyu again.Just before the threshold, Daiyu pushed out and closed the door.Baoyu didn't understand what he meant, so he just swallowed and called "good sister" outside the window.Daiyu always ignored him.Baoyu bowed his head sullenly to examine himself.Xiren knew it a long time ago, so he must not persuade him at this time.That Baoyu just stood there blankly.Daiyu just got up and opened the door when he went back to the room, only to see Baoyu still standing there.Daiyu was too embarrassed to close it again, so she had to get out of bed and lie down.Baoyu then came in and asked, "There is a reason for everything. If you tell it, you won't be wronged. If you are fine, you will be annoyed. What is the reason?" Lin Daiyu sneered: "I'm good at asking, and I don't know why. I was making fun of you, making fun of me as an actor." Baoyu said, "I'm not compared to you, and I didn't laugh. Why do you bother me?" Daiyu said, "You still want to compare? You Still laughing? You are not as good as not smiling, you are more powerful than people who have laughed!" Baoyu heard that there was no way to distinguish, and he didn't say anything.

Daiyu said again: "This section is forgiven. Why are you winking with Yun'er again? What kind of heart is this? Could it be that he is stubborn with me, so he despises himself? He was originally the lady of the Duke. , I was originally a poor girl, he was stubborn with me, if I replied back, wouldn't he make others look down on him? Is this the idea? This is also your kindness, but that one doesn't accept your favor Love, usually also annoyed. You make love to me again, but you say that I am petty, and my actions are willing to be annoyed. You are afraid that he will offend me, and I am annoyed at him. What does it have to do with you if I am annoyed with him?

He offended me, so what does it have to do with you? "Baoyu saw that he had just had a private conversation with Xiangyun, and he heard it too. Thinking carefully that he was the two of them, he was afraid of creating a gap, so he reconciled in the middle. He didn't want to reconcile successfully, but he had already fallen into two derogatory slanders. According to the lt;lt;Nanhuajing gt;gt; I read the day before yesterday, there is "the clever man works and the wise man worries, the incompetent has nothing to ask for, and travels when he is full. If he is not tied to the boat", it is also called "mountain wood Self-stealing, self-stealing from the source" and other words. Therefore, the more I think about it, the more boring it becomes.

Thinking about it more carefully, there are only these two people at present, and they have not yet met and compromised, what do you want to do in the future?Thinking about it, there was no reason to answer, and he turned and went back to the room.Seeing him go, Lin Daiyu knew that it was boring to think about it, and she went away in a fit of anger, without saying a word, and couldn't help becoming more angry, so she said, "this time, don't come here for the rest of your life, and don't talk." Baoyu ignored him , Go back to the room and lie on the bed, just staring.Xiren knew the whole story very well, so he didn't dare to say it, so he had to explain it with other things, because he said: "I saw the play today, and I will play it for a few days. Miss Bao must return the table." Baoyu sneered: " If he doesn't return it, it doesn't matter who cares." Seeing that the words were not in the tone of the past, the attacker smiled again: "How do you say that? In the good first month, women and sisters like it, so what do you do? Is this what it looks like?" Baoyu sneered and said, "I have nothing to do with whether their wives and sisters are happy or not." Xiren laughed and said, "They are easy-going, and you are also easy-going. Isn't it interesting for everyone to have fun with each other?" Baoyu said: " What is everyone to each other! They have everyone to each other, and I come and go naked without any worries." Speaking of this sentence, I couldn't help crying.Seeing this, Xiren refused to say anything more.Baoyu thought about the meaning of this sentence carefully, couldn't help crying, turned over and went to the case, then took up a pen and stood up a verse: "You prove me, and your heart proves your mind."

There is no evidence, Si Keyun evidence.

There is no proof, it is a foothold.After writing, although I understand it, I am afraid that people will not understand it, so I also fill in a lt;lt;parasitic grassgt;gt;, which is also written after the gatha.I read it again, and felt that I had nothing to worry about, and I was content with myself, so I went to bed and slept.

Who would have thought that Daiyu would go away resolutely after seeing Baoyu this time, so she came to see the movement on the grounds of looking for someone to attack.Xiren laughed back, "I'm already asleep." When Daiyu heard about it, she wanted to go back.The attacker laughed and said, "Please stop, girl. There is a copybook. Let's see what it says." As he spoke, he quietly brought the melody and gatha just now and handed them to Daiyu to read.Daiyu saw it, and knew that it was Baoyu who was angry for a while. She didn't realize it was ridiculous, so she said to Xiren, "it's nothing to do with it." After that, she took it back to her room and shared with Xiangyun. look.The next day I went to see Baochai again.Baochai looked at his words and said: "If there is no self, it is not you. I don't understand Iraq from him."Come and go without hindrance.Feeling very sad and happy in the vast expanse, one after another said that they are very close.I used to be so busy but why, now I look back and think about it, it's really boring!After reading it, he looked at the gatha again, and said with a smile: "This person has enlightened. It's all my fault, and it's all caused by a piece of music I played yesterday. These Daoist scriptures are the most capable of changing one's nature. Ming'er said seriously Speaking of these crazy words, and keeping this meaning, it all comes from my piece of music, and I have become the chief culprit." Then he tore it up to pieces, handed it to the maids and said, "Burn it soon." Daiyu laughed and said, "You shouldn't tear it up. I'll ask him later. Come with me and make sure he accepts this foolish talk." Sure enough, all three of them came to Baoyu's room.As soon as she came in, Daiyu smiled and said, "Baoyu, let me ask you: the most precious is treasure, and the most firm is jade. How expensive are you? How strong are you?" Baoyu couldn't answer.The three of them clapped their hands and laughed, and said, "You're so stupid, you're still practicing Zen." Daiyu said again, "Your statement at the end of the verse has nothing to prove. I will add two more sentences later." Yin Nian said: "If there is no foothold, it is clean." Baochai said: "In fact, this is the way to realize it thoroughly. On that day, Huineng, the sixth patriarch of the Southern School, first went to Shaozhou to find a teacher, and heard five Zu Hongren was in Huangmei, so he acted as a Huotou monk. The fifth patriarch asked his disciples and monks to write a verse each in order to seek a Dharma heir. The master Shenxiu said: "The body is a bodhi tree, and the heart is like a mirror stand. Always wipe it diligently, so that there is no dust. Then When Huineng was making rice in the kitchen, he heard this gatha, and said: "Beauty is beautiful, but it is not." Because he recited a gatha to himself, he said: Bodhi is not a tree, and a bright mirror is not a stand. There is nothing in the first place. Where is it stained? Dust?" The Fifth Patriarch passed on the mantle to him.Today's gatha has the same meaning.It's just that the cleverness of the sentence just now has not been completely finished, so can it be thrown away? "Daiyu said with a smile." She couldn't answer at that time, even if she lost, it's not surprising that she got the answer now.It's just that we are not allowed to talk about Zen in the future.You don't even know what the two of us know and can do, and you still go to practice Zen. "Baoyu thought she was enlightened, and she didn't want to be unable to answer Daiyu's question suddenly. Baochai compared the "Quotations" again. They have never seen anyone capable of this. Think about it for yourself." It turns out that they are more aware than I am. First of all, I haven't realized it yet, so why should I look for trouble now. "After thinking about it, I smiled." Whoever practiced Zen again was just talking obstinately for a while. "Speaking, the four of them are still the same as before. Suddenly someone reported that the empress sent someone to send out a lantern riddle, and ordered you all to guess it. After guessing, each of you made a riddle. When the four of them heard that they hurried out, they went to Jia Mu to go to the room. I saw a little eunuch holding a square-headed white gauze lantern specially made for lantern riddles. There is already one on it, and everyone is vying to see and guess. The little eunuch issued another order." The ladies guessed it, don't say it When they came out, everyone just secretly wrote on the paper, and they were all sealed into the palace, and the empress checked herself. "Baochai and others listened to it, and took a closer look. It was a seven-character quatrain, which was nothing new. There was no shortage of compliments in their mouths. They only said it was difficult to guess, and they thought about it deliberately. In fact, they guessed it at first sight. Baoyu, Daiyu, Xiangyun The four of Tanchun also solved it, and each secretly wrote it for half a day. They sent Jia Huan, Jia Lan, etc. together, guessed it out of their own minds, and wrote it on the paper. Then each of them made something A riddle, written by Gong Kai, hung on the lamp.

The eunuch went, and came out at the end of the day to tell: "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 did. I don't know if they are." As he said, he would also write Take it out.Some guessed it, and some couldn't guess it. They all talked nonsense and guessed.

The eunuch gave the gifts to those who guessed. Each of them had a palace-made poem tube and a tea whisk to welcome the spring alone, but Jia and Huan didn't get it.Yingchun thought of it as a joke and didn't mind it, so Jia Huan found it boring.And I heard the eunuch say: "What the third master said doesn't make sense, and my mother didn't guess it, so she asked me to take it back and ask what the third master is." Eight, the second brother has only two horns.

The eldest brother only sits on the bed, while the second brother likes to squat on the room.Everyone looked at it and burst out laughing.Jia Huan had no choice but to tell the eunuch: "One pillow, one animal head." The eunuch remembered it, took the tea and left.

Seeing that Yuanchun was so happy, Jia's mother became more and more happy, so she ordered to quickly make a small and exquisite screen lamp, set it up in the house, and ordered his sisters to do it secretly, write it out and stick it on the screen, and then prepare to burn incense. Congratulations to the tea fruit and various playthings.After Jia Zhengchao, he was happy to see Jia's mother, and she came to have fun at night during the festival.Wine and fruit were set up, toys were prepared, and colored lanterns were hung in the upper room, and Jia Mu was invited to enjoy the lanterns for fun.There is one seat for Jia Mu, Jia Zheng, and Baoyu on the top, another seat for Mrs. Wang, Baochai, Daiyu, and Xiangyun below, and another seat for Ying, Tan, and Xi.Underground women and maids stood full.Li Gongcai and Wang Xifeng had another seat in the inner room.Because Jia Zheng didn't see Jia Lan, he asked, "Why don't you see Brother Lang?" The underground woman hurried into the room and asked Li, and Li got up and smiled and replied, "He said that the master didn't call him just now, and he refused to come. "The mother-in-law replied to Jia Zheng.Everyone laughed and said, "You are born with a weird heart." Jia Zheng hurriedly sent Jia Huan and two wives to call Jia Lan.

Jia Mu ordered him to sit beside her, and grabbed some fruit to eat with him.Everyone joked and had fun.

In the past, only Baoyu had a long talk, but today Jia Zheng is here, and there is only Weiwei.Although the rest, Xiangyun, is a weak girl in the boudoir, she always likes to talk about it. Today, when Jia Zheng is present, she keeps her mouth shut.Daiyu is lazy by nature, so she doesn't want to talk too much.Baochai didn't speak nonsense before, but at this time she was calm and composed.Therefore, although this table is a homely pleasure, it is not happy to be restrained.Jia's mother also knew that because Jia Zheng was here alone, after drinking for three rounds, she drove Jia Zheng to rest.Jia Zheng also knew what Jia's mother meant, so he kicked him out so that his sisters and brothers could have fun.Jia Zheng hurriedly laughed and said, "Today I heard that the old lady had a big spring lantern riddle here, so I also prepared a betrothal banquet and came here to join the meeting. Why don't you care about your grandchildren's heart and don't give your son a little bit?" Jia Mu He laughed and said, "When you're here, they don't dare to make jokes. If you don't, I'm bored. When you want to guess a riddle, I'll tell you to guess one. If you can't guess, you will be punished." Jia Zheng laughed quickly: "Naturally. Punishment. If you guess correctly, you will also be rewarded." Jia Mu said, "That's natural." Then she read: "The monkey stands lightly on the top of the tree.

---- Type a fruit name.

Knowing that it was a lychee, Jia Zheng deliberately guessed other things and fined many things. Then he guessed and got Jiamu's things.Then he also read a guess with Jia Mu, saying: "The body is upright, and the body is hard."

Although you can't speak, you must answer what you say.

---- Make a use of things.

After finishing speaking, he whispered to Baoyu.Baoyu understood, and quietly told Jiamu.Jia Mu thought for a while, and it was not bad, so she said, "It's an inkstone." Jia Zheng smiled and said, "It's an old lady, I can guess it." Turning around, she said, "Send the congratulations up quickly." The underground woman agreed , Both large and small stocks are held together.Jia Mu looked at each piece, and found that they were all new and ingenious things used during the Lantern Festival. She was very happy, and ordered: "Pour wine for your master." Baoyu held the pot and sent wine in the spring.Jia Muyin said, "Look at the screen, it's all made by his sisters. Let me guess again." The courage is exhausted, the body is like a bundle of silk, and the energy is like thunder.

A loud sound made people frightened, but looking back at the prime minister, it turned into ashes.Jia Zheng said, "This is a firecracker." Baoyu replied, "Yes."

Because of the chaos in the town every day, it is only because of the difference in the number of yin and yang.Jia Zheng said, "It's an abacus." Yingchun smiled and said, "Yes." Looking down again, it is: when the children under the steps are facing up, the Qingming makeup is the most suitable.

Gossamer is broken and weak, don't complain to Dongfeng for parting.Jia Zhengdao: "This is a kite." Tanchun smiled and said: "Yes." Then he saw that: the previous body was always useless, and he didn't listen to Lingge or Buddhist scriptures.

It is impossible to sink into the black sea in this life, and there is a great light in one's nature.Jia Zheng said, "This is the sea lantern in front of the Buddha." Xichun smiled and replied, "It's the sea lantern." The turmoil is like hemp. The kite made by Tanchun is a floating thing. The sea lantern made by Xichun is pure and lonely. Today is the Shangyuan Festival, why do we all make this ominous thing as a play?" Bored, because I didn't dare to show my face before Jiamu, so I still had to look down reluctantly.I saw a seven-character regulated poem written on the back, but it was written by Baochai, and he read it: "Whoever brings two sleeves of cigarettes after the court will never have a chance in the quilt beside the piano."

Xiaochou doesn't need to be reported by chicken men, and there is no trouble for the maid for five nights.

Jiaoshou returned from morning to evening, and his heart was tormented day after year.

As time goes by, we should cherish it, and let the wind and rain change.After reading it, Jia Zheng thought to himself: "This thing is still limited. It's just that small people who write these words feel even more ominous. They are not the generation of eternal life." Thinking of this, I feel more bored and sad Therefore, he subtracted eight or nine tenths of the spirit of the talent just now, and only lowered his head in meditation.

When Jia's mother saw Jia Zheng's situation, she thought that maybe he was tired, and she was afraid that all the sisters would not be able to play happily, so she said to Jia Zheng, "You don't have to guess, go and rest. Let's go again Sit down for a while, and we'll be gone." When Jia Zheng heard this, he quickly agreed with a few "yes", and reluctantly persuaded Jia's mother to drink again, and then withdrew.When I went back to the room, I just thought about it, but I couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning.

Let's say that Jia's mother saw that Jia Zheng had gone, and said, "You can have fun at your own pace." Before she finished a word, she saw Baoyu running to the screen lamp, gesticulating and criticizing all over the place. Inappropriate, like a monkey unlocked.Baochai said, "It's as if you were sitting just now. Everyone was talking and laughing. Isn't it gentle?" I forgot, why didn't I ask you to compose poetry riddles in front of the master. If so, I'm afraid I'm sweating right now." Baoyu said in a hurry, and pulled Sister Feng, twisting her butt like candy tangling.Mother Jia talked and laughed with Li Gongcai and all the sisters for a while, and felt a little sleepy.After listening to the four drums, he ordered the food to be removed and scattered among the people. Then he got up and said, "Let's have a rest. Tomorrow is still the festival, we should get up early. Let's play tomorrow night." Let's listen to the next chapter.
