Dream of the Red Mansion

It is said that Grandma Liu compared her hands and said, "The flowers have fallen and become a big pumpkin." Everyone burst into laughter after hearing this.So after eating the door cup, Yin said with a funny smile: "Tell me the truth, my hands and feet are clumsy, and I drank wine again, so I accidentally hit this porcelain cup. There is a wooden cup, and I missed it. It’s okay if you fall to the ground.” After hearing this, everyone laughed again.When Sister Feng heard this, she hurriedly laughed and said, "If you really want the wooden one, I'll take it. But let me say one thing first: this wooden one is not as good as the porcelain one. He has one set, and he must eat all the ones." Fang Shi." After hearing this, Grandma Liu was heartbroken: "I was just making fun of it, who knows that he really has it. I often go to banquets with the gentry in the village, and I have seen gold cups and silver cups , I have never heard of wooden cups. Oh, yes, it must be wooden bowls used by children, but I will drink two more bowls. Leave him alone, this wine is like honey water anyway, it’s okay to drink more It's all right." After thinking about it, she said, "Get it and discuss it." Sister Feng ordered Feng'er: "Go to the back room in front, there are ten cups with bamboo roots on the bookshelf." Feng'er listened and agreed to take it. Go, Yuanyang smiled and said: "I know your ten cups are still small. Besides, you only said that they are made of wood, and now you have brought bamboo roots, which is not good-looking. Why don't you just pick out the whole boxwood roots from our place? Bring ten big sets of cups, and pour him ten times." Sister Feng laughed and said, "It's even better." Yuanyang ordered someone to fetch them.When Grandma Liu saw it, she was both surprised and happy: the surprise was that there were ten of them in a row, and they were divided into big and small ones. It is uniquely carved, with landscapes, trees and figures of the same color, as well as cursive characters and picture seals.Because he hurriedly said, "Just take the small one. Why are there so many?" Sister Feng said with a smile, "There is no reason to drink one of these cups. Because our family does not have such a large amount, no one dares to make him. Grandma Yes, I found it with great difficulty, and I must eat it one by one." Grandma Liu hurriedly said: "I dare not. Good aunt, please forgive me." Mother Jia, Aunt Xue, and Mrs. Wang knew that he was going to Elderly people couldn't help it, so they laughed quickly and said, "It's true, laughing is laughing, don't eat too much, just eat this first cup." Grandma Liu said: "Amitabha! I'd better eat it in a small cup. Take this big one. Put the cup away, I'll take it home and eat slowly." Everyone who said that laughed again.

Yuanyang had no choice but to order everyone to pour a big cup, and Grandma Liu held it in both hands to drink.Jia Mu and Aunt Xue all said, "Slow down, don't choke." Aunt Xue ordered Sister Feng to serve dishes again.Sister Feng said with a smile, "what does grandma want to eat? If you name it, I'll feed you." Grandma Liu said, "I know the name, and everything is good." Take some and feed him." Sister Feng heard that she put some eggplants into Grandma Liu's mouth as she said, and said with a smile, "You eat eggplants every day, so you should also taste how delicious our eggplants are." Grandma Liu smiled. Said: "Don't coax me, the eggplant has come out of this smell, we don't need to grow food, only eggplant." Everyone laughed and said: "It's really eggplant, we won't coax you anymore." Grandma Liu was surprised: "It's really Eggplant? I ate half a day for nothing. My aunt will feed me some more, and chew this one carefully." Sister Feng put some more into her mouth.Grandma Liu chewed it carefully for a long time, and said with a smile: "Although it has a little eggplant fragrance, it just doesn't look like eggplant. Tell me how to make it, and I will eat it." Sister Feng laughed and said, "It's not difficult. You take the eggplant that has just come down and peel *skid*, only need to clean the meat, cut it into small nails, fry it with chicken oil, then use the chicken breast meat and fragrant mushrooms, new bamboo shoots, mushrooms, dried five-spice rot, and dried fruits of various colors , all cut into nails, simmered in chicken broth to dry, collected the sesame oil, mixed with bad oil, put it in a porcelain jar and sealed tightly, when you want to eat, take it out, and stir it with fried chicken and melon." Grandma Liu listened , shaking his head and sticking out his tongue, said: "My Buddha! A dozen or so chickens are poured to match him, it's a strange taste!" While talking and laughing, he finished the wine slowly, and just smelt the glass.Sister Feng said with a smile, "it's still not fun, let's have another drink." Grandma Liu said hurriedly, "it's terrible, then I'll be drunk to death. Because I love this style, what's wrong with him." After all, what kind of wood is this cup?" Grandma Liu said with a smile: "I can't blame the girl for not recognizing it. How can you recognize the wood in this Kinmen embroidered household! Our family lives with Shulinzi all day long, and we sleep with him on our pillows when we are sleepy. , sit by him when you are tired, eat him when you are hungry in the famine, see him every day, hear him every day, and talk about him every day, so I can recognize whether it is true or not. Let me recognize it As he said, he looked at it carefully for a long time, and said: "People like you definitely don't have that cheap thing, and you don't take that easy-to-get wood. I weigh this cup, it is definitely not poplar wood, this It must be from Huang Song." Everyone burst into laughter after hearing this.

I saw a woman came to ask Jia Mu, saying: "The girls have all arrived at the Ouxiangxie. Please ask for instructions. Let's stop acting or wait a little longer?" Tell them to act." The woman agreed to go.For a while, only the melodious flute pipe and the sheng flute were heard.When the wind is clear and the air is refreshing, the music comes through the forest and water, which is naturally refreshing.Baoyu couldn't help it first, picked up the pot, poured out a cup, and drank it all in one gulp.After pouring it again, I was about to drink it. I saw that Mrs. Wang wanted to drink it, and ordered someone to change the warm wine. Baoyu quickly took her own cup and brought it to Mrs. Wang's mouth. Mrs. Wang took two mouthfuls from his hand. .When the warm wine came, Baoyu was still sitting, Mrs. Wang brought the thermos pot to the table, everyone was out, Aunt Xue also stood up, Jia Mu hurriedly ordered Li and Feng to take the pot: "Let When your aunt sits, everyone will be free." Seeing this, Mrs. Wang handed the pot to Sister Feng, and sat down by herself.Jia Mu laughed and said, "Let's have two cups. It's really interesting today." She held the cup for Aunt Xue, and said to Xiangyun Baochai, "Your sisters also have a cup. Although your sister is not good at eating, she can Don't spare him." He said that he had done it.Xiangyun, Baochai, and Daiyu also did it.Now, when Grandma Liu heard such music and had wine again, she danced with joy.Baoyu came over to Daiyu because he was leaving the table and said with a smile, "Look at Grandma Liu." Daiyu said with a smile, "That day when the sacred music was played, all the beasts led the dance, and now I am only one leader." All the sisters laughed.

After a while, Aunt Xue attended and said with a smile: "Everyone has all their wine ideas, let's go out and relax before sitting down." Jiamu was also about to leave, so everyone attended and played with Jiamu.Because Jia Mu wanted to take Grandma Liu to relax, she took Grandma Liu to the tree in front of the mountain to linger for a while, and then told him what kind of tree it was, what kind of stone it was, and what kind of flower it was.Grandma Liu understood them one by one, and said to Jia Mu: "Who knows that not only people are noble in the city, but even Que'er is noble. But when Que'er comes to you, he has become handsome and can talk." Everyone Puzzled, because I asked why Que'er became handsome and could speak.Grandma Liu said: "The green-haired and red-billed parrot standing on the golden shelf in the porch is a parrot, I recognize it. How come the old black raven in the cage has a crested head and can talk too." Everyone listened. Laughing will rise.

For a while, I saw the maids coming to treat me to some snacks.Jia Mu said: "After two glasses of wine, I'm not hungry. Well, let's bring it here, and everyone can eat whatever you want." The maid then went to carry two tables and two small holding boxes.When I opened it, I found that there were two different things in each box: the same box contained lotus root powder and cinnamon sugar cake, the same box contained pine and goose oil rolls, and the box contained small dumplings about one inch in size. Son, the women hurriedly replied that it was crabs.When Jia Mu heard this, she frowned and said, "This is greasy, who eats this!" The other one was butter fried small noodles of various colors, and she didn't like it either.Because Aunt Xue was asked to eat, Aunt Xue only picked a piece of cake, and Mother Jia picked up a roll, tasted it, and handed the remaining half to the maid.Seeing that the small noodles and fruits were exquisite and translucent, Grandma Liu picked a peony flower and said with a smile: "The most skillful sisters in our place can't cut out such a piece of paper. I love to eat, but I can't bear to eat it. It would be better if some families go and make some tricks for them." Everyone laughed.Jia Mu said: "I'll give you a jar when you go home. You can eat this while it's hot." Others just pick a little or two of what everyone likes to eat. Grandma Liu had never eaten these things before, and they all made them small and exquisite. He and Ban'er ate some of each, and went to half the plate.For the rest, Sister Feng ordered to save two plates and one plate to eat with the civil servants.Suddenly seeing the grandma hugging the eldest sister, everyone coaxed him for a while.The eldest sister was playing with a big grapefruit, and suddenly saw Ban'er holding a bergamot, so she wanted the bergamot too.The maid coaxed him to take it, but the elder sister couldn't wait, so she cried.Everyone hurriedly gave the pomelo to Ban'er, and coaxed Ban'er's bergamot over to him.Because the board has been playing with bergamot for half a day, now he is eating some fruits with both hands, and suddenly seeing that the grapefruit is fragrant and round, he feels so stubborn, and he wants to play with it like a ball, so he doesn't need bergamot.

At present, Mother Jia and others had had tea, and then brought Grandma Liu to changcui'an.Miaoyu quickly took it in.Seeing the flourishing flowers and trees in the courtyard, Jia Mu smiled and said, "After all, they are practitioners. They often repair things when they have nothing to do. They are more beautiful than other places." As she spoke, she came to the East Zen Hall.Miaoyu stepped in with a smile, and Jia Mu said, "We all ate wine and meat. You have a Bodhisattva here, and you have washed away your sins. Let's sit here and bring your good tea. We'll have a cup and go." After hearing this, Miaoyu went to make tea.Baoyu pays attention to how he acts.I saw Miaoyu personally holding a small tea tray filled with begonia-style carved lacquer filled with Jin Yunlong's birthday, and inside it was a small bell with a five-color cover from a kiln, holding it with Jia Mu.Jia Mu said, "I don't eat Liu'an tea." Miaoyu said with a smile, "I know. This is Lao Junmei." Jia Mu took it and asked what kind of water it was.Miaoyu smiled back, "It's the rain from the old year." Jia Mu ate half a cup, then smiled and handed it to Grandma Liu and said, "Try this tea." Grandma Liu ate it all in one gulp and said with a smile, "OK It's good, it's just lighter, and it's better to make it thicker." Jiamu and everyone laughed.Then everyone is the same color official kiln to fill the white bowl.

Then Miaoyu pulled Baochai and Daiyu's skirts, and they went out with him, and Baoyu followed quietly.I saw Miaoyu let the two of them stay in the ear room, Baochai sat on the couch, and Daiyu sat on Miaoyu's futon.Miaoyu fanned the water on the stove and made another pot of tea.Then Baoyu came in and said with a smile, "You guys are eating Tiji tea." Both of them laughed and said, "You came here again. You're not here." Miao Yu was just going to get a cup , I saw the Taoist woman took the tea cup from above.Miaoyu hurriedly said, "don't take away the teacup from Chengyao, just put it outside." Baoyu understood, knowing that Grandma Liu had eaten it, and he didn't want it too dirty.I saw Miaoyu take out two more cups.There is an ear next to one, and the three official characters "べ * Sao *" are engraved on the cup, followed by a line of small real characters that read "Jin Wang Kai Zhenwan", and a line of small characters "Su Shi in Meishan, Meishan, met in Bifu in April of the fifth year of Song Yuanfeng".Miaoyu poured out one and handed it to Baochai.That one looks like a bowl but is small, and it also has three pendulum seal characters, engraved with "point rhinoceros **".Miaoyu poured a *see binxuan*.Still pour the green jade bucket that I used to drink tea with Baoyu.Baoyu said with a smile, "As the saying goes, the world is equal." The two of them just use such antiques and rare treasures. I'm just a vulgar utensil." You may not be able to find such a vulgar vessel." Baoyu laughed and said, "As the saying goes, follow the country into the country', when you come to your place, you will naturally degrade all the gold, jade and jewelry as vulgar utensils." Hearing this, Miaoyu was very pleased. He was happy, so he found another big nipple with nine bends and ten rings and 120 knots carved with bamboo roots, and said with a smile, "this is the only one left. Can you eat this sea?" Baoyu was busy happily Said: "It's time to eat." Miaoyu said with a smile: "Although you have eaten, you don't have to waste the tea. Don't you smell it? One cup is a product, two cups are thirst-quenching fools, and three cups are drinking cows and mules. What will you become if you eat this sea?" Baochai, Daiyu, and Baoyu all laughed.Miaoyu held the pot and only poured about a cup into the sea.After Baoyu ate carefully, he felt very frivolous and praised him endlessly.Miaoyu said seriously: "The tea you are eating is due to his two blessings. You are the only one here. I won't give it to you." Baoyu smiled and said, "I know it very well, and I don't accept your favor either." I just want to thank them both." Miaoyu heard this, and Fang said, "That's clear."

Daiyu asked: "Is this also the rain of the old year?" Miaoyu sneered: "You are such a common man, you can't even taste water. This is five years ago when I lived in Panxiang Temple in Xuantou. The snow on the plum blossoms I harvested, I got the grimace green flower pot, I was reluctant to eat it, buried it in the ground, and it only bloomed this summer. I only ate it once, this is the second time. How do you taste it? Not coming out? The next year's rain is so frivolous, how can I eat it?" Daiyu knew that he was eccentric by nature, and she didn't talk too much, nor did she sit too much. After tea, she asked Baochai to come out.

Baoyu and Miaoyu laughed together and said, "Although the teacup is dirty, wouldn't it be a pity to throw it away for nothing? According to me, it's better to give it to the poor woman. He can live by selling it. You can do it." Yu heard this, thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's all. Fortunately, I have never eaten that cup. If I used it, I would smash it and not give it to him. If you want to give it to him, I don't care." You, just leave it to you, take it quickly." Baoyu laughed and said, "Naturally, if you talk to him and give it to him, it will make you dirty even more. Just leave it to me." Miaoyu ordered people Bring it to Baoyu.Baoyu took it, and said: "When we go out, how about I ask some young children to fetch a few buckets of water from the river to wash the floor?" Miaoyu laughed and said, "It's better, but you tell them to carry Just put the water under the wall outside the mountain gate, don't come in." Baoyu said, "It's natural." Then he held the cup in his sleeve, handed it to the little girl in Jiamu's room, and said, "Tomorrow, Grandma Liu Go home, take it to him." The confession made it clear that Jia's mother had already come out to go back.Miaoyu didn't stay too much, sent out the mountain gate, turned around and closed the gate.No problem.

It is said that because Jia Mu felt tired, she ordered Mrs. Wang and sister Yingchun to accompany Aunt Xue to drink, and then she went to Daoxiang village to have a rest.Sister Feng hurriedly ordered the small bamboo chair to be brought up, Mother Jia sat on it, and the two women lifted it up. Sister Feng, Li Wan, and all the maids and women went around, without any trouble.Aunt Xue also resigned here.Mrs. Wang sent the civil servants to wait out, scattered the box and ate it with the maids, and then she took a rest in the spare time, casually leaning on the couch where Jia's mother was sitting just now, ordered a little girl to put down the curtain, and ordered him to beat legs, told him: "If the old lady has a letter, just call me." He fell asleep on his side while talking.Baoyu Xiangyun and the others watched the maids put the boxes on the rocks, some sat on the rocks, some sat on the grass, some leaned against trees, and some stood by the water. It was very lively.Suddenly I saw the mandarin ducks coming again, and they were going to take Grandma Liu for a stroll, and everyone rushed to make fun of them.When I came to the archway of the "Visiting Family Villa", Grandma Liu said, "Oh! There is also a big temple here." After saying that, she climbed down and kowtowed.Everyone laughed and bent over.Grandma Liu said: "What are you laughing at? I can read all the characters on this archway. We have the most temples like this in our place, and they all have archways like this. That word is the name of the temple." Everyone laughed and said, "Do you know what temple this is?" Grandma Liu raised her head and pointed at the word, "Isn't that the word 'Jade Emperor Palace'?" Everyone laughed and clapped their hands and feet, and even made fun of him.Grandma Liu felt a commotion in her abdomen, and hurriedly dragged a little girl to undress after asking for two pieces of paper.Everyone laughed again, and hurriedly shouted at him, "It can't be done here!" Busily ordered a woman to take the northeast up.The old woman pointed to the place, and happily went away to rest.

Because Grandma Liu drank some wine, his temper was not suitable for rice wine, and he ate a lot of greasy food. He was thirsty and drank a few bowls of tea.When he came out of the toilet, the wine was banned by the wind, and the old man squatted for a long time, and when he got up suddenly, he felt dizzy and couldn't tell the way.Looking around, there are trees, mountains, stones, towers and houses, but I don't know where it is going, so I can only recognize a gravel road and walk slowly.When I got to the house, I couldn't find the door. After searching for a long time, I suddenly saw a bamboo fence. Grandma Liu thought to herself: "There are lentil shelves here too." Thinking, she walked along the flower barrier and got one. Moon cave door to enter.Suddenly there was a pool in front of him, only seven or eight feet wide, with a stone bank, and the clear water in it flowed there, and there was a white stone on it.Grandma Liu went over to the stone, walked along the stone path, turned two turns, and saw a door.So when he entered the door, he saw a girl coming out with a smile on his face.Grandma Liu hurriedly laughed and said, "The girls left me behind and asked me to meet here." After saying that, the girl didn't answer.Grandma Liu came to hold his hand, and with a "gudong", she bumped into the board wall, and her head hurt so badly.After a closer look, it turned out to be a painting.Grandma Liu thought to herself: "It turns out that the painting protrudes like this." She thought, looked at it, and touched it with her hands, but it was all the same, so she nodded and sighed twice.Turning around, one finds a small door, which is hung with a green and flowery soft curtain.Grandma Liu opened the curtain and went in. When she looked up, she saw exquisite and translucent walls on all four sides. Qin, sword, bottle stoves were pasted on the walls, brocade gauze covers, golden pearls, and even the bricks stepped on the ground were green chiselled flowers, which made her eyes even more dazzled. , look for the door to go out, where is the door?There is a shelf of books on the left and a shelf of screens on the right.He just got a door behind the screen and turned around, only to see his mother-in-law also came in from the outside.Grandma Liu was surprised, and hurriedly asked: "You think I haven't been home for a few days, so you came to me. That girl brought you in?" His in-laws just laughed and didn't reply.

Grandma Liu said with a smile: "You have never seen the world. Seeing that the flowers in this garden are so good, you don't have to wear one." His in-laws didn't answer.Then I suddenly remembered: "I often hear that there is a kind of full-length mirror in rich and noble families. Don't tell me I am in the mirror." After saying that, he stretched out his hand to touch it, and took a closer look. middle.

Yin said, "This has been stopped, how can I get out?" While speaking, he just touched it with his hands.This mirror was originally a Western mechanism, which can be opened and closed.Unexpectedly, when grandma Liu fumbled around, her strength coincided, so she knocked open the message, covered the mirror, and exposed the door.Surprised and delighted, Grandma Liu stepped out and suddenly saw a pair of the most exquisite bed curtains.At this time, he was seven to eighty percent drunk and tired of walking, so he sat down on the bed, only talking to rest, not knowing that he couldn't help himself, leaning back and forth, with dim eyes, and fell asleep when he turned his body. bed.

And said that everyone waited for him to disappear, and when Ban'er saw that his grandma was gone, he cried anxiously.Everyone laughed and said, "Don't you fall into the latrine? Tell someone to go and have a look." Because they ordered the two women to look for it, they came back and said no.Everyone searched everywhere and couldn't find it.Xiren *Po Lai Cable*: "He was drunk and lost his way. He followed this road to our back yard. If you go through the flower barrier and go in the back door, even if you meet, the little girls will know If you don’t go into the Huashangzi and then go southwest, it’s okay if you go out, but if you can’t go out, it’s good enough for him to go back. Let’s take a look.” While thinking, he came back and entered the Yihong Courtyard. Call people, who knows that the little girls in those houses have gone away.

The attacker went all the way into the door, turned around the collection, and heard snoring*si*.Hurrying in, I could only smell the stench of wine farts. Looking around the room, I saw Grandma Liu lying on her back with her arms and legs dancing.Xiren was quite shocked by this, and hurried to catch up with him and pushed him awake.Grandma Liu woke up startled, opened her eyes and saw the attacker, she quickly got up and said: "Girl, I made a mistake! I didn't dirty the bed curtain." As she spoke, she brushed it off with her hands.The attacker was afraid of disturbing people, and when Baoyu knew about it, he just waved his hand to him and didn't ask him to speak.Busily stored three or four handfuls of lily incense in the tripod, and still covered it with a cover.Some must clean up, Xixi never vomited, hurriedly smiled quietly: "It's irrelevant, I'm here. You come out with me." Grandma Liu followed Xiren, went out to the little girls' room, ordered him to sit down, and asked He said: "Just say that you passed out drunk and took a nap on the mountain stone." Grandma Liu promised to know.After drinking two bowls of tea with him, Fang Jue woke up and asked, "Is this the lady's embroidery room, so exquisite? I feel like I'm in the palace of heaven." Xiren smiled slightly: "Is this, is it?" Second Master Bao's bedroom." Grandma Liu was too frightened to make a sound.Xiren took him out from the front, met everyone, and only said that he fell asleep under the grass and brought him here.Everyone ignored it, that's all.

When Jia Mu woke up, she set up dinner in Daoxiang Village.Because Jia Mu felt lazy and didn't eat, she sat in a bamboo chair and a small open sedan chair, went back to her room to rest, and ordered Sister Feng to wait for dinner.His sister came back to the garden.To know the end -
