Dream of the Red Mansion

It is said that after Xiren saw Mrs. Jia Muwang waiting, he came to Baoyu and sat down beside him, and asked him tearfully, "Why did you hit this field?"

Baoyu sighed and said:

Hearing this, he gently reached in and took off his middle coat.When Baoyu moved a little, he gritted his teeth and screamed.Aiyo', Xiren hurriedly stopped his hand, and did so three or four times before it faded away.When Xiren looked at it, he saw that the upper half of the leg was bruised and purple, and there were raised stiff marks four fingers wide.Xiren gritted his teeth and said, "My mother, how can you be so cruel! You can't get this position even if you listen to me. Fortunately, you didn't move your muscles and bones. If you get a disability, what will happen to you?" It!" As he was talking, he heard the servant girls say, "Miss Bao is here." Hearing this, Xiren knew that he couldn't wear a middle coat, so he took a bed of gauze and covered Baoyu.I saw Baochai come in with a pill in his hand, and said to the attacker, "Grind this medicine with wine at night, apply it on him, and dissipate the heat poison of the congestion, it will be fine." , Handed it to Xiren, and asked again: "Is this meeting better?" Baoyu thanked him and said, "Okay." Then let him sit down again.When Baochai saw that he opened his eyes and spoke, unlike before, Baochai was relieved a lot, so she nodded and sighed, "I heard someone say something earlier, but it's still not today. Don't talk about the old lady, the lady feels distressed. We just look at it. It hurts in my heart too." Just after speaking half a sentence, he swallowed hurriedly, regretting that he had spoken in a hurry, blushed before he knew it, and lowered his head.Baoyu heard these words so intimately and densely, with a lot of meaning, and suddenly saw that he swallowed and stopped talking, blushed, lowered his head and just fiddled with his clothes. Feeling relieved, he left the pain behind and thought to himself: "I've only been beaten a few times, and each of them has these expressions of pity and sadness, which is admirable, pitiful and respectable. If I They don't know how sad they are to be killed in a sudden accident! Since they are like this, I will die for a while. If they are like this, even if my career is in vain, there is nothing to regret. If you are not happy in the dark, It can be said to be confused and sneaky." Thinking, I only heard Baochai ask Xiren, "Why did you start fighting when you got angry?" Xiren said Baiming's words.Baoyu didn't know Jia Huan's words at first, until he saw the attacker say it.Because he pulled Xue Pan up again, lest Baochai would be overwhelmed, he hurriedly stopped attacking people and said, "Brother Xue has never been like this, so don't make guesses." He blocked Xiren, because he thought to himself: "The image of the beating, the pain can't be taken care of, you are still so careful, afraid of offending people, it can be seen that you have put your heart into us. Since you are so hard, why don't you make a big deal out of it?" The master likes to work hard, so he can't suffer like this. But you are afraid of my heart, so if you stop someone, don't I know my brother's disposition of indulgence and defenselessness. At that time, he was a Qin Zhong, and he was still making troubles, so naturally it is more serious now than before." After thinking about it, he smiled and said: "You don't have to blame this or that. As far as I think, Brother Bao is not upright in his daily life. The master is only angry when he associates with those people. Even if my elder brother speaks out of his head, he did not mean to instigate Brother Bao for a while: one is the original truth, and the other is that he did not talk about these trivial matters. Xi girl Since I was a child, I have only seen such a careful person as Brother Bao. Have you ever seen a person who is not afraid of the sky and the earth, and says what is in his heart." Because Xiren said Xue Pan, when Baoyu stopped him, he already understood I said it was a mistake, and I was afraid that Baochai would be boring. Hearing what Baochai said, I felt even more ashamed and speechless.When Baoyu heard Baochai's words again, he was half upright and upright, and half was dispelling his suspicions, and felt more happy than before.When Fang was about to speak, Baochai got up and said, "I'll come to see you tomorrow, so you can have a baby. I just took the medicine and gave it to Xiren, and I will put it on at night." Then he went out the door go.Xiren hurriedly sent him out of the hospital and said, "Miss, I'm so worried. Another day, the second master Bao will be well, and I will thank you in person." Baochai turned around and said with a smile, "what can I thank you for? You just advise him to have a good rest and rest, don't think about it That's fine. Don't disturb the old lady, all the wives, if you blow it into the ears of the master, even though it was not very good at that time, you will suffer in the future when you meet the scene." Saying that, he walked away.

Xiren pulled back and came back, feeling really grateful to Baochai.When I came in, I saw Baoyu meditating silently, seemingly sleeping but not sleeping, so I left the room and went to take a bath by myself.Baoyu lay silently on the bed, helplessly aching in her buttocks, like a needle being picked up by a knife, and hot as a fire.It was going to be late at that time, because they saw that the attacker had gone, but there were two or three servant girls serving them, so there was nothing to call at this time, because they said, "Go and wash up, and come back when I call." all quit.

Here Baoyu was in a daze and silence, only to see Jiang Yuhan come in and tell about Zhongshun Mansion's arrest of him, and see Jin Chuan'er come in crying and say that he threw himself into the well for him.Baoyu was half asleep and half awake, so he didn't care.Suddenly he felt someone pushing him, and suddenly heard someone's sad voice.Baoyu woke up from the dream, opened his eyes and saw that it was not someone else but Lin Daiyu.Baoyu was still afraid that it was a dream, so he hurriedly leaned up again, and looked at his face carefully, only to see two swollen eyes like peaches, full of tears, not Daiyu, but that one?When Baoyu still wanted to watch, the pain in the lower half was unbearable, and he couldn't bear it. He fell down with a cry, sighed, and said, "What are you doing here again! Although the sun is setting, the ground The rest of my breath has not yet dissipated, and I will suffer from the heat after walking two times. Although I have been beaten, I don’t feel pain. I just pretend to coax them so that I can listen to the master outside, but it is actually fake. You can't be serious." Although Lin Daiyu wasn't crying loudly at this time, the more she wept silently, the more she felt that she was choking with anger and her throat was blocked.After hearing Baoyu's words, although there were thousands of words in his heart, he just couldn't say them. For a long time, Fang choked and said, "You should change everything from now on!" When Baoyu heard about it, he sighed and said, "You Don't worry, don't say such things. It is willing to die for these people!" After saying a word, an outsider said: "Second Grandma is here." Lin Daiyu knew that it was Sister Feng who came, and quickly stood up and said "I'll go from the backyard, come back." Baoyu stopped him and said, "This is amazing, why are you afraid of him?" Lin Daiyu stomped her feet anxiously, and said quietly, "Look at me. Eyes, and he should make fun of it." Baoyu heard that and hurriedly let go.Daiyu turned around the bed in three steps and two steps, and went out of the backyard.Sister Feng came in from the front and asked Baoyu, "Is it better? What do you want to eat? Ask someone to get it from me." Then, Aunt Xue came again.For a while, Jia Mu sent someone again.

When it was time to light the lamp, Baoyu only drank two mouthfuls of soup, and then fell into a drowsy sleep.Then, Zhou Rui's wife, Wu Xindeng's wife, and Zheng Haoshi's wife, who were old and frequented, also came in when they heard Baoyu was beaten.The attacker rushed out to greet him, and smiled quietly: "The aunts came a step late, and the second master fell asleep." As he said, he took them to sit in the room over there, and poured tea for them to eat.The daughters-in-law sat quietly for a while, and said to the attacker, "when the second master wakes up, you can speak for us." The attacker agreed and sent them out.Just when she was about to come back, Mrs. Wang sent a woman to come and said, "My wife called someone who is with the second master." Seeing this, Xiren said, after thinking about it, he turned around and quietly told Qingwen, Sheyue, Tanyun , Qiu Wen and so on said: "Madam call someone, you are so born in the room, I will come as soon as I go." After speaking, they went out of the garden with the woman and came to the upper room.Mrs. Wang was sitting on the couch shaking a plantain fan. When she saw him coming, she said, "It doesn't matter who you call. You have left him again. Who will serve him?" Xiren saw and said, and hurriedly accompanied him. He smiled back and said, "Second Master has just slept soundly. The four or five girls are well now and will serve Second Master. Madam, please don't worry. I'm afraid Madam has some orders to send them here. I don't understand them for a while, so it will be delayed." It's gone." Mrs. Wang said: "I don't have much to say, just ask him how the pain is going." Xiren said: "I applied the medicine that Miss Bao sent to the second master, and it is better than before. First I couldn’t lie down because of the pain, but now I’m falling asleep, so it’s better.” Mrs. Wang asked again: “Have you eaten anything?” Xi Ren said: “The old lady gave me a bowl of soup. Dry drink, I want to eat sour plum soup. I thought that sour plum is a restraining thing. I was beaten just now, and I was not allowed to scream. Naturally, the hot poison and hot blood of anxiety are not in my heart. If I eat this to stimulate my heart, I will make it Serious illness, but what can I do? So I persuaded me for a long time before I didn't eat it. I just took the rose marinade pickled in sugar and ate it. I ate half a bowl, and I thought it was too sweet. It's not sweet." Mrs. Wang said: " Hey, you shouldn't have come to tell me earlier. Someone sent two bottles of fragrance lotion. It was intended to give him ideas, but I was afraid that he would mess up, so I didn't give them. Since he thinks those rose ointments are annoying, Take two bottles of this. You only need to pick a teaspoon in a bowl of water, and it will be very fragrant." Then he called Caiyun, "Bring those bottles of fragrance dew from before." Xi Ren said : "Just bring two bottles, it's useless if you have too much. It's the same if you ask for it when you don't have enough." Caiyun heard that, after going there for half a day, he brought two bottles and gave them to Xiren.When Xiren looked at it, he saw two glass vials, but they were three inches in size, with screwed silver caps on them, and "Osmanthus osmanthus clear dew" was written on the light yellow paper, and "Rose clear dew" was written on the other one. Stuff! How much can there be in such a small bottle?" Mrs. Wang said: "It's from the top. Didn't you see the light yellow paper? Please keep it for him, don't mess it up." Xiren promised, and when he was about to leave , Mrs. Wang called again: "Stand, I think of a word to ask you." The attacker came back in a hurry.Seeing that there was no one in the room, Mrs. Wang asked, "I heard in a daze that Baoyu was being beaten today. It was Huan'er who said something in front of the master. Did you hear this? If you want to hear it, tell me, and I won't." Make a noise and let people know that you said it." Xiren said: "I didn't hear that, because the second master took over the actor, and he came to ask the master for it." Mrs. Wang shook her head and said, "It's also because of this." , There are other reasons." Xiren said: "I really don't know the other reasons. Today I boldly said something in front of my wife. I don't know what is good or bad. Reasoning..." After speaking, I swallowed.Mrs. Wang said: "Just say it." The attacker smiled and said, "Madam, don't be angry, I will tell you." Mrs. Wang said: "What's the matter with me? The second master also needs to be taught twice by the master. If the master doesn’t care anymore, I don’t know what he will do in the future.” When Mrs. Wang heard this, she clapped her hands together and recited "Amitabha". Son, thanks to you, you also understand that these words are the same as my heart. I never knew how to take care of my son. How did I take care of him when you were here, and now I don’t know how to take care of my son? It’s just that there is a Reason: Now I think, I am almost 50 years old, and there is only one left of him. He is tall and weak, and the old lady is like a baby. My wife was so angry that he was uneasy at that time. Wouldn’t it be bad? So I indulged him. I often persuaded him for a while, talked for a while, scolded for a while, and cried for a while. It's still irrelevant, it's just a loss. If it breaks, who will I rely on in the future!" As he said, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

Seeing Mrs. Wang's grief, Xiren didn't feel hurt, and shed tears along with her.He said again: "The second master is raised by his wife, so don't you feel distressed."

Even if we serve as servants for a while, and everyone is safe, it can be regarded as good fortune. If we want to get up like this, we can't even be safe.On that day and at that moment, I didn't persuade the second master, but I couldn't wake up any more.If those people are willing to get close to him, they can't blame him for being like this. It's not good if we always persuade them.Today when my wife mentioned this, I still have one thing in mind. Every time I have to go back and forth with my wife to ask her for advice.It's just that I'm afraid that my wife will be suspicious. Not only will my words be in vain, but I will also lose my place to be buried.Mrs. Wang asked for a reason after hearing this. "My son, just say what you have to say. Recently, I heard people praise you behind their backs. I just said that you just pay attention to Baoyu, or that you are kind to everyone. These small things are good, so I put you and the old man together." My aunt acts as one. Who would have thought that what you just said to me is full of truth, just like my thinking. Just say what you have, just don't teach others to know." Xi Ren said. "I don't have anything else to say. I just want to ask my wife to show me how to change the way and teach the second master to move out of the garden in the future." Mrs. Wang was shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly He took Xiren's hand and asked. "Who did Baoyu make trouble with?" Xiren replied quickly. "Don't worry, madam, I didn't say that. It's just my little experience. Now the second master is getting older, and the girls in the house are also getting older. Besides, Miss Lin and Bao are the cousins ​​of the second aunt. Although they are sisters, After all, it is the difference between men and women. It is inconvenient to sit and sit together day and night. It is unavoidable to make people worry, even outsiders don’t look like it. Family affairs, as the saying goes. There are so many mindless people in the world. Mostly because it was done unintentionally, someone with a heart saw it, regarded it as something on their minds, and said it was bad. It’s just that it’s not good in advance. My wife knows the second master’s usual personality. He also prefers to make trouble in our team , if you don’t guard against it, it’s wrong at 01:30 before and after, no matter it’s true or not, there are many people talking, what’s the taboo about talking about villains, if you like it, what you say is better than a Bodhisattva, if you don’t like it, you’ll be demoted It's not even as good as an animal. Second Master, if someone says yes in the future, it's okay for everyone to live straight. If we want someone to say a bad word, we don't need to say it. It's a trivial matter. The reputation and conduct of the master's life is endless, and the two wives are also hard to see the master. As the saying goes, a gentleman should guard against it, it is better to avoid it at this time. There are many things for a wife, of course we can't think of it for a while. If we can't think of it, we can. Now that I think about it, if I don't go back to Mrs. Ming, the crime will be more serious. Recently, I have been worrying about this matter day and night, and it's hard to tell others, only the lamp knows." Mrs. Wang heard this, like thunder and lightning , just touched the matter of Jin Chuan'er, and his heart became more and more affectionate, and he hurriedly laughed. "My son, you have such a big heart and such thoughtfulness! I never thought of it again, but I just forgot about it a few times. What you said today reminded me. It's hard for you to fulfill my mother's love. You have a decent reputation, really I didn't know you were so good.

Forget it, go ahead, I have my own reasons.But there is one more sentence: Since you said such a thing today, I will hand him over to you. Be careful anyway, and if you save him, you will save me.I naturally live up to you. "Xiren promised again and again. When he came back, Baoyu woke up, and Xiren came back to reveal the fragrant dew. Baoyu couldn't help it, so he ordered it to try it. It was really delicious. Because he had Daiyu in his heart, he was full of it. He wanted to send someone there, but he was afraid of attacking them, so he set up a way to send them to Baochai to borrow books.

When the attacker went, Baoyu ordered Qingwen to come and tell him, "Go to Miss Lin and see what he is doing. If he wants to ask me, just say I'm fine." Qingwen said, "White eyebrows and red eyes, what are you doing?" How about going? After all, saying a word is like one thing." Baoyu said: "There is nothing to say." Qingwen said: "If not, either send something or pick up something, or I will go How can we strike up a conversation?" Baoyu thought for a while, then reached out and took two handkerchiefs and put them on Qingwen, and said with a smile, "Forget it, let me tell you to give this to him." Qingwen said: "This It's strange again. He wants these two half-new handkerchiefs? He's going to be annoyed again, saying you're making fun of him." Baoyu laughed and said, "Don't worry, he will know." After hearing this, Qingwen had to take it. Pazi comes to Xiaoxiang hall.I saw Chunxian was drying a handkerchief on the railing, and when he saw him come in, he waved his hand and said, "I'm asleep." Qingwen came in, and the room was dark.The lights were not lit.Daiyu was already asleep on the bed and asked who it was.Qingwen hurriedly replied, "Qingwen." Daiyu said, "What are you doing?" Qingwen said, "Second master sent a handkerchief to the girl." Come to me?" Because he asked, "Who gave him this handkerchief? It must be the best one. Tell him to keep it and give it to someone else. I don't need it now." Qingwen laughed and said, "It's not new. It’s an old one.” When Lin Daiyu heard this, she became more and more depressed, and searched carefully. After thinking for a while, Fang Dawu came over and said quickly, “Put it down, let’s go.” After hearing this, Qingwen had to put it down, and went back, thinking all the way. I don't understand what that means.

Here Lin Daiyu thoughtfully expresses the meaning of the handkerchief, and she doesn't feel fascinated: Baoyu's painstaking efforts make me happy to understand my painstaking efforts. Send me two old handkerchiefs, if it didn't make me feel deeply, just looking at this handkerchief would make me ridiculous, and then it would be scary to have someone pass it on to me privately, I often cry a lot, even thinking about it Tasteless, and shame on me.Thinking about it this way, it boiled for a while.Daiyu couldn't help but hold the lamp, and couldn't think of things like suspicion and taboo, so she dipped her pen in the ink on the case, and wrote on the two old handkerchiefs: Eyes are empty, tears are empty, tears are empty, darkly sprinkled. For whom do you give up?

It's so sad to see the size of the shark and give it away!

The second is to throw pearls and jade, only to steal the tricks and spend the whole day without any intention to spend the whole day. It is difficult to wipe off the sleeves on the pillow, and let him have spots and spots.

Its three-color thread is difficult to close the pearls on the surface, the old traces of the Xiangjiang River have been blurred, and there are thousands of bamboos in front of the window.When Lin Daiyu was about to write, she felt hot all over her body and her face was burning. She went to the mirror and took a photo of the brocade burden.For a while, I went to bed and fell asleep, still thinking about it with the veil, no problem.

But he said that Xiren came to see Baochai, who knew that Baochai was not in the garden, but went to his mother, and Xiren came back empty-handed.Baochai came back at the second watch.It turned out that Baochai knew Xue Pan's sentimental nature, and half suspected that Xue Pan had instigated someone to sue Baoyu. Who knew that he heard Xiren say it again, and became more and more convinced.After all, Xiren heard Baoming say it, and Baoming was also spying for selfishness, and did not verify the facts, so he actually believed it was him who said it.That Xue Pan has gained such a reputation day by day, but this time he was not the one who did it.One day, when I came back from having a drink outside, I met my mother. I saw Baochai here, and she said a few gossips, because she asked, "I heard that brother Bao suffered a loss. Why?" Aunt Xue was feeling uncomfortable about this, When he saw him asking, he gritted his teeth and said, "It's all your fault that you don't know what's good or bad, you still have the face to ask!" Seeing that Xue Pan was startled, he quickly asked, "Why did I make trouble? "Aunt Xue said: "You are still pretending to be stupid! Everyone knows that you said it, so it's okay." Xue Pan said: "Everyone says I killed someone, so do you believe it?" Aunt Xue said "Even your sister knows it's you who said it. Does he depend on you?" Baochai hastily persuaded: "Mom and brother, don't shout. If it stops, there will be a black and white." He said: "Whether you said it or not, the matter is over. There is no need to prove it, but it will make a small matter bigger. I only advise you to stop messing around outside and meddle in other people's affairs from now on. Everyday Everyone is wandering around in one place, you are an unguarded person, and nothing will happen afterwards. If something happens, but you did not do it, everyone will suspect that you did it, let alone others, I will doubt it first." Xue Pan He was an outspoken man, and he would never see such a hidden thing in his life, and when Baochai advised him not to go for a walk, his mother said that he had a bad tongue, and that Baoyu's beating was cured by him, and he was already jumping around in a hurry, and swore to distinguish .He also scolded everyone: "who sent me so stolen? I knocked out the prisoner's teeth! It was clearly for beating Baoyu, and there was nothing to do. Use me as a cover. Is Baoyu the king of heaven? His father beat Baoyu He gave a meal, and the whole family will be in trouble for a few days. That time, because of his bad, uncle beat him twice. After that, the old lady found out somehow, and said that it was brother Zhen who treated him, so she called and scolded him. After a pause, I will be pulled down more and more today! I am not afraid even if I pull it up, I went in and beat Baoyu to death. just run.Panicked, Aunt Xue grabbed her and scolded, "Who are you going to beat, you damned evil? You hit me first!" Xue Pan's anxious eyes were like copper bells, and he shouted, "Why bother! You didn't ask me to go!" , and rely on me well. In the future, Baoyu will live a day, and I will bear the tongue for a day. It is better for everyone to die." Baochai hurriedly stepped forward to persuade: "Be patient. Mom is so anxious, You didn’t say you came to persuade Mom, but you still made trouble like this. Don’t say it’s Mom, even someone else came to persuade you, and it’s for your own good, but it has persuaded your temper.” Xue Pan said: “This meeting said again This is what you said!" Baochai said: "You only blame me for talking, and you don't blame your appearance." Xue Pan said: "You only blame me for not thinking about the future, how can you Don't complain about Baoyu's provocative appearance outside! Don't say too much, I'll just compare it to you with the matter of my former son Qiguan: that Qiguan, we have met more than ten times, and I haven't said a word of affection to him. Why did he give him the sweat towel when he met the other day and didn't even know his name? Could it be that I said that too?" Aunt Xue and Baochai said anxiously: "Still mentioning this!"

It's not about hitting him.It can be seen that you said it.Xue Pan said. "I'm really mad! I'm not mad because of what I said, I just made such a fuss about Baoyu." Baochai said. "Who is making trouble? You start with a knife and a stick, and then blame others." Xue Pan saw that Baochai's words were reasonable and difficult to refute, and it was harder to answer than his mother's words, so he tried to stop him with words. When I went back to him, no one dared to stop my words, and because I was angry, I didn't think about the importance of what I said, so I said it. "Good sister, you don't have to quarrel with me. I already knew your heart. My mother told me that you have to choose a jade to match your gold. You have to pay attention. Seeing that Baoyu has such a hard-working bone , you should take action to protect him now." Before he could say anything, Baochai was stunned, and he pulled Aunt Xue and cried. "Listen, mom, what did brother say!" Seeing his sister crying, Xue Pan knew that he had made a fool of himself, so he went to his room to rest in a fit of anger.

Here, Aunt Xue was fighting in anger, while persuading Baochai, "you know that that bastard is unreasonable. Tomorrow, I will ask him to accompany you." His mother was disturbed, so she had to say goodbye to her with tears in her eyes. They went back to their rooms and cried all night.I got up early the next day, and I didn't have the heart to wash and tidy up, so I went out to see my mother.By chance, I met Lin Daiyu alone under the shade of flowers and asked him where he was going.Because Xue Baochai said "go home", he just went away as he said it.Daiyu saw him go away listlessly, and saw that there was crying in his eyes, which was not comparable to the past, so she laughed from behind and said, "Sister, take care of yourself. Even if you cry two vats of tears, you won't be able to heal well." Sores." I don't know how Baochai answered correctly, but let's listen to the next chapter to explain.
