Dream of the Red Mansion

It is said that when everyone watched the performance, Baoyu and her sisters were sitting together.When Lin Daiyu saw the male sacrifice coming out, she said to Baochai, "The king's ten friends don't know each other very well. No matter where he sacrifices, he must go to the riverside to make sacrifices." What! As the saying goes, when you look at things and think about people, all the water in the world comes from one source, no matter where the water is, scoop up a bowl of water and watch and cry, and you will be happy." Baochai didn't answer.Baoyu turned around and asked for hot wine to toast Sister Feng.

It turns out that Jia's mother said that today is no better than in the past, and she must make Sister Feng happy all day.Originally, I was too lazy to sit at the table, so I just sat on the couch in the back room and watched a play with Aunt Xue, picked whatever I liked and put it on the small table, ate and talked at will, and gave my two tables to the one who had no seats. The girls, big and small, and the women who are on the errands are ordered to sit outside the window and eat and drink at will under the eaves of the porch without formality.Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing were sitting on the high table in the ground, and his sisters were sitting on the tables outside.From time to time, Mother Jia told Youshi to wait: "Let Feng girl sit on it, so you can treat Dong for me, and it's hard for him to work hard all year round." It's not that it's not right, and I don't want to eat wine." After hearing this, Jia's mother laughed and said, "You won't, wait until I let him go." Sister Feng also came in and said with a smile, "Don't believe their words, my ancestors, I will It's been several minutes since I ate." Jiamu smiled and ordered Youshi: "Pull him out quickly, put him on the chair, and you all respect him in turn. If he doesn't eat any more, I will really go there in person." Youshi heard , Busily smiled and pulled him out to sit down again, ordered someone to take a cup to pour wine, and said with a smile: "It's hard for you to be filial to the old lady, wife and me all year round. I don't have anything to do to you today. I pour a glass of wine myself, obediently." Take a sip from my hand." Sister Feng said with a smile, "you have to be filial to me, and I'll drink it when you kneel down." You said with a smile, "you don't know who you are talking about! Let me tell you, it's so easy today After this experience, I know that it will be as bad as it is today? Just try your best to drink the funeral for two minutes." Seeing that she couldn't push it, Sister Feng had to drink for two minutes.Then all the sisters came, and Sister Feng had to take a sip from each of them.Seeing that Jia Mushang was so happy, Da Mama Lai had to come to have fun, and led some nuns to toast.It was hard for Sister Feng to shirk, so she had to take two sips.Yuanyang and others also came to pay their respects. Sister Feng couldn't do it anymore, so she hurriedly said: "Good sisters, please forgive me, and I will drink again tomorrow." Yuanyang smiled and said, "Really, we are shameless? We were in front of the wife, and the wife gave her a face. It is a bit decent in the past, but today in front of these people, I took the money from the master. I shouldn’t have come. If we don’t drink, we will leave.” Said Then I really went back.Sister Feng hurriedly caught up to stop her, and said with a smile, "good sister, I'll just drink it." Then she took the wine, poured a full glass and drank it up.Yuanyang Fang smiled and left, and then went to the table again.

Sister Feng felt that the wine was heavy, and her heart suddenly seemed to be bumping upwards. She wanted to go home to have a rest. When she saw the juggler coming up, she said to Youshi, "I'm going to wash my face for the reward." nod.Sister Feng saw that people were not guarded, so she left the banquet and walked under the back eaves of the door.Ping'er paid attention and hurriedly followed, and Sister Feng supported him.When I arrived at the corridor, I saw a little girl in his room standing there. Seeing the two of them coming, she turned around and ran away.Sister Feng called out suspiciously.The girl pretended not to hear at first, but even Ping'er called after her helplessly, so she had to come back.Sister Feng became more and more suspicious, hurriedly Ping'er went into the hallway, asked the little girl to come in too, and closed the fan. Sister Feng sat on the steps of the small yard, ordered the girl to kneel, and told Ping'er: " Call the two boys on the second gate to come, take a rope and a whip, and smash that little hoof that has no master in its eyes!" The little girl was so frightened that she was so scared that she just met her head and begged for mercy.Sister Feng asked, "I'm not a ghost. When you saw me, if you didn't stop in a proper manner, how could you run forward?" The little girl cried, "I didn't see grandma come. There was no one, so I ran away." Sister Feng said: "There is no one in the room, who told you to come? You didn't see me, and I, Heping, pulled my neck and called you ten times behind me, and the more I called, the more I ran away. .It’s not far away, are you deaf? You’re still talking to me!” Then he raised his hand and slapped the little girl on the face. His cheeks swelled purple.Ping'er hurriedly persuaded: "Grandma, be careful, your hand hurts." Sister Feng said, "If you keep calling him, ask him why he is running. If he doesn't say anything, he will tear his mouth to pieces!" Sister Feng was about to burn a red iron to burn her mouth, so Fang cried: "Second master is at home. He sent me here to watch grandma. If grandma is gone, ask me to send a letter first. I don't expect grandma to come this time." The son is here." Sister Feng saw that there was something in the words, "Why do you tell me to watch me? Are you afraid that my house will not work? There must be other reasons, tell me quickly, I will love you from now on. If you don't explain it in detail , immediately take a knife to cut your flesh." Then, he turned around and pulled out a hairpin from his head, and poked at the girl's mouth, and the girl hid all the way, crying, "I'll tell grandma, but Don't tell me what I said." Ping'er urged him while urging him to speak quickly.The girl then said: "The second master just came to the room. He woke up after sleeping for a while, and sent someone to visit grandma. He said that he was just sitting at the table, and it would take a while to come. The second master opened the box and took it. Two pieces of silver, two hairpins, and two bolts of satin. Tell me to quietly send it to Bao Er’s wife and ask him to come in. After he collected the things, he came to our house. The second master told me to come and see grandma. , I don’t know what’s going on below.” Hearing this, Sister Feng became weak from anger, and hurriedly stood up and came home.As soon as I arrived at the gate of the courtyard, I saw another little girl poking her head in front of the gate. When she saw Sister Feng, she shrank her head and ran away.Sister Feng stopped drinking with her name.The girl was clever at first, and seeing that she couldn't hide, she ran out more sexually and said with a smile, "I was going to tell grandma, but grandma is here." Sister Feng said, "Tell me what?" Master is so and so at home, and he said what he said just now.Sister Feng spat: "What did you do earlier? I saw you now, come and clean it up!" As she spoke, she raised her hand and the girl who hit her staggered, and walked to the window with hands and feet .When you listen in, you only listen to the jokes inside.The woman smiled and said, "It would be nice if your Hades wife died sooner or later." Jia Lian said, "If he dies, it's the same if he marries another one. So what?" The woman said, "If he dies, you Instead, he helped Ping'er upright, I'm afraid it's better." Jia Lian said: "Now even Ping'er doesn't let me touch it. Ping'er is also aggrieved and dare not say anything. Why should I commit a crime in my life?" Yecha Xing." Hearing this, Sister Feng was furious, and when she heard that they both praised Pinger, she suspected that Pinger had resentment behind her back. Duo, turned around and beat Ping'er twice first, then kicked open the door and went in. Without any explanation, he grabbed Bao Er's family and beat him up.He was afraid that Jia Lian would go out, so he blocked the door and stood and cursed: "What a whore! You steal the master's man, and you will kill the master's wife! Ping'er, come here! You whores forget about eight vines, and you hate me. Coax me outside!" Then he beat Ping'er a few more times, and Ping'er was so angry that he had nowhere to complain, so he was so angry that he cried and cursed: "You guys do these shameless things, and pull them up again. What am I going to do!" As he said that, he tore Bao Er's family apart.Jia Lian was also happy to come in because he had too much wine. The secret he had never made, when he saw Sister Feng coming, he had no idea.When Sister Feng beat Bao Er's family, he was already angry and ashamed, so he couldn't say anything. Seeing that Ping'er was also beating, he came up and kicked and scolded, "What a whore! You beat people too!" Ping'er was timid and hurried She stopped and cried, "Why do you drag me when you talk behind your back?" Sister Feng became angrier when she saw that Ping'er was afraid of Jia Lian, and she came to beat Ping'er again, but called Bao's family.Ping'er was in a hurry, so he ran out to find a knife to kill himself.All the women and girls outside hurriedly stopped and persuaded.Here, seeing Ping'er looking for death, Sister Feng bumped her head into Jia Lian's arms and shouted, "One of your vines hurt me. I heard it and frightened me. You strangle me too!" Jia Lian's angry wall He drew out his sword and said, "Don't seek death. I'm in a hurry. Let's kill them all. I'll pay for my life. Everyone will be clean." When there was a lot of trouble, You Shi and a group of people came and said, "This How can I say it, it's a good thing, and I started a fight." When Jia Lian saw someone, she became more and more "drunk on wine", flaunted her prestige, and deliberately wanted to kill Sister Feng.When Sister Feng saw people coming, she didn't splash as much as before. She left everyone and ran to Jia Mu crying.

At this time, the play was over, and Sister Feng ran to Jia Mu, crawled into Jia Mu's arms, and said, "my ancestor save me! Second Master Lian is going to kill me!" Jia Mu, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang and so on asked hurriedly. What's wrong.Sister Feng cried: "I just went home to change clothes. I didn't prevent the second master Lian from talking to people at home. I just thought it was a visitor, so I didn't dare to go in. I listened outside the window. It turned out that he was talking to someone. The two daughters-in-law of Bao's family discussed, saying that I was bad, and they wanted to give me poison to kill me, and helped Ping'er upright. I was so angry that I didn't dare to quarrel with him, so I hit Ping'er twice, and asked Why did he want to harm me? He is ashamed and wants to kill me." After hearing this, Jia's mother believed it, and said, "It's worth it! Take that dirty seed quickly!" Before he finished speaking, Jia Lian was holding it Jian rushed over, followed by many people.Jia Lianming relied on Jia Mu's habit of loving them, even his mother and aunt, so he made a fuss.When Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang saw her, she stopped and scolded angrily, "You bastard! You are getting more and more rebellious, and the old lady is here!" Jia Lian squinted and said, "It's because the old lady is used to him, that's why he is like this. Even I started to curse!" Mrs. Xing snatched the sword angrily, and just told him, "Get out!" Jia Lian was acting coquettishly and foolishly, talking nonsense.Jia Mu said angrily: "I know you don't put us in your eyes and ask someone to call his father!" When Jia Lian heard this, Fang staggered out and didn't go home in a fit of anger. Come out to the study.

Here Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang also say Sister Feng.Jia Mu laughed and said, "What's the big deal! The children are young and greedy like cats. They can't be kept there. Everyone has been beaten like this since childhood. It's all my fault. He ate two more bites." I’m jealous again.” Everyone who said that laughed.Jiamu said again: "Don't worry, I'll ask him to come and make amends for you tomorrow. Don't go over there and embarrass him today." Because she scolded again: "Ping'er's hoof, I usually prefer him, why? It's so bad in secret." Youshi and others laughed and said, "Ping'er is right, it's Feng girl who took her to vent her anger. The couple are not good at fighting, and they both use Ping'er to kill their temper. What does Ping'er feel wronged, old man The wife still scolds people." Jia Mu said: "So, I said that the child is not like that foxy nightmare. Since it is like this, I am sorry to see you, and it is useless to be angry with them." Because she called Amber: "Go out and tell me Ping'er, just tell me what I said: I know he has been wronged, and tomorrow I will ask Sister Feng to make amends for him. Today is a good day for his master, and he is not allowed to mess around." It turns out that Ping'er was dragged into the Grand View Garden by Li Wan long ago. up.Ping'er cried so hard that he couldn't lift his sobs.Baochai persuaded: "You are a sensible person. Why does Feng girl wait for you on weekdays? Today, he just has a drink. He doesn't take it out on you, but can't he take it out on others? Others laughed at him for being drunk. You Even though you've been wronged for a while, wouldn't your benefits in the past be all fake?" Just as she was talking, she saw Amber coming and said what Jia Mu had said.Ping'er felt that there was a radiance on his face, and he was getting better just now, so he didn't move forward.Baochai waited for a rest before coming to see Jiamu and Sister Feng.

Baoyu asked Ping'er to come to Yihong courtyard.Xiren hurriedly continued, and said with a smile: "I originally wanted to let you in, but because the grandma and the girls all let you in, I can't let you go." Ping'er also laughed and said, "Thank you."Yin said again: "Let's start from there. I got angry for no reason." The attacker laughed and said, "Second Grandma treats you well every day. It's just a moment of shortness of breath." Ping'er said: " Second Mistress didn't say anything, it's just that the prostitute tortured me, and he just made fun of me, not to mention our foolish master beat me up." As she spoke, she felt wronged and couldn't help crying.Baoyu hurriedly persuaded: "My dear sister, don't be sad, I will make up for both of them." Ping'er laughed and said, "What does it have to do with you?" Baoyu laughed and said, "Our brothers and sisters are all the same. They offended people, and I It's right to pay for him." Then he said: "It's a pity that the new clothes are also stained, here are your sister Hua's clothes, why don't you change them, take some shochu and spray them for ironing. Comb your hair again Now, wash your face." As he said that, he ordered the little girls to scoop up washing water and heat the irons.Ping'er Suxi only heard that Baoyu was good at making friends with girls. Baoyu Suri, because Ping'er was Jia Lian's concubine and Sister Feng's confidant, refused to get close to him. Often hate things.Seeing him like this, Ping'er secretly said in his heart: Sure enough, the words are true, and the words are thoughtful and thoughtful.Seeing that Xiren Tete opened the box and took out two clothes that he didn't wear much to change with him, he hurriedly took off his own clothes and went to wash his face.Baoyu persuaded with a smile: "Sister should put on some makeup, otherwise it seems like she is angry with Sister Feng. Besides, it's his good life, and the old lady sent someone to comfort you." Ping'er listened Seeing that it was reasonable, he went to look for fans, but there were no fans.Baoyu hurriedly walked to the dressing table, opened a Xuan kiln porcelain box, which contained a row of ten jade hairpin sticks, and handed one to Ping'er.He smiled and said to him: "This is not lead powder, this is purple jasmine seed, which is ground and mixed with spices." It is also easy to even out, and can moisturize the skin, unlike other powdery greens that are heavy and astringent.Then I saw that the rouge was not in sheets, but a small white jade box, which contained a box, like rose ointment.Baoyu laughed and said: "The rouge sold in that market is not clean, and the color is also thin. This is the best rouge squeezed out of the juice, washed and cleaned of dregs, and steamed with floral dew. Just pick a little bit with a thin hairpin. Put it in the palm of your hand, melt it with a little water, and apply it on your lips. The palm of your hand is enough to slap your cheeks. Ping'er made up the makeup according to the words, and it turned out to be very bright and sweet, and filled her cheeks. Baoyu took a sprig of Bingdi Qiuhui picked it off with bamboo scissors and put it on his temples with him. Suddenly Li Wan sent a girl to call him, and Fang hurried away.

Because Baoyu has never done her best in front of Ping'er, and Ping'er is a very smart, handsome and classy girl, she can't compare with that vulgar and clumsy person - she deeply resents her.Today is Jin Chuan'er's birthday, so it's not a happy day.If you don't want to fall behind and cause this incident, you have to do your best in front of Ping'er, which is also the joy you don't want in business.Because he was lying on the bed, he was very contented.Suddenly he thought about Jia Lian, who only knew how to please himself with prostitution, but didn't know how to be a beauty powder.And Siping'er has no parents, brothers and sisters. He is alone and supplies Jia Lian and his wife.Jia Lian's custom and Sister Feng's prestige, he can be thoughtful and considerate, and he is still being tortured today. If you think about it, this person's life is worse than Daiyu's.Thinking of this, I became sad again, and burst into tears unknowingly.Seeing that Xiren and others were not in the room, I tried my best to shed a few painful tears.When he got up, he saw that the wine sprayed on the clothes just now was half dry, so he ironed and folded them with an iron. Seeing that his handkerchief was forgotten, and there were still tears on it, he took it to the washbasin and washed it to dry.Joy and sadness, bored for a while, also came to Daoxiang village, gossip for a while, light the lamp and then leave.

Ping'er rested at Li Wan's place all night, and Sister Feng only followed Jia Mu.Jia Lian returned to his room at night. It was deserted and it was not easy to call, so he had to sleep carelessly all night.Woke up the next day, thinking about what happened yesterday, it was very boring, and I regretted not coming.Mrs. Xing remembered that Jia Lian was drunk yesterday, so she came over early in the morning and called Jia Lian to come over to Jia Mu.Jia Lian had no choice but to kneel down in front of Jia Mu.Jia Mu asked him, "What's the matter?" Jia Lian hurriedly laughed and said, "Yesterday I had a drink, which shocked the old lady's driving. I'm here to punish you today." Huang Tang, don't say that you are going to stand up for yourself, but beat up your wife! Feng girl always said that she was like a bully, and she bluffed pitifully yesterday. If it wasn't for me, you would have hurt his life. How's your son?" Jia Lian was so wronged that he didn't dare to argue, but only admitted that he was wrong.Jia Mu said again: "Isn't that Feng girl and Heping'er a beautiful fetus? You are not enough! All day long, the family steals chickens and dogs, and the dirty and smelly ones are all taken to your house. For this adulteress, beat your wife and house The people in the house, you are lucky to be the son of a big family, so you slapped your mouth. If you have me in your eyes, you get up, I will forgive you, obediently apologize for your wife, and drag him to his house. I like it. Otherwise, you just go out, and I dare not accept your kneeling." Hearing this, Jia Lian saw Sister Feng standing there again, not putting on makeup, her eyes were swollen from crying, and she didn't put on any makeup. Facial powder, yellow face, more pitiful and cute than usual.Thinking: "It's better to pay, isn't it? Both of them are better, and the old lady likes them again." After thinking about it, he smiled and said, "I dare not disobey the old lady's words, but I just indulged him more and more." He smiled and said, "Nonsense! I know he is the most polite, and he will never run into anyone again. If he offends you in the future, I will naturally make the decision. Just ask you to surrender." Jia Lian heard that, got up, and made love with Sister Feng. With a bow, he said with a smile: "So it's my fault, Second Mistress, please forgive me." Everyone in the room laughed.Jia Mu laughed and said, "Girl Feng, don't be annoyed. If you are annoyed again, I will be annoyed." Then she ordered someone to call Ping'er, and ordered Sister Feng and Jia Lian to comfort Ping'er.When Jia Lian saw Ping'er, she couldn't care less. The so-called "a wife is worse than a concubine, and a concubine is worse than a thief." After hearing what Jia's mother said, she rushed up and said, "The girl was wronged yesterday. It's all my fault. Grandma offended her." You are also because of me. It’s not a big deal for me to pay, and I will pay for your grandma.” As he said, he also made a bow, which made Jia Mu laugh, and Sister Feng also laughed.Jia Mu ordered Sister Feng to comfort him.Ping'er hurriedly came up to kowtow to Sister Feng and said, "Grandma's Qianqiu, I made grandma angry. I deserve to die." After listening to the words of others, he shamed Ping'er for no reason.Seeing him like this now, I felt ashamed and sad at the same time, so I hurriedly pulled him up and shed tears.Ping'er said: "I've been serving grandma for so many years, and I haven't even flicked my nails. Even if I hit me yesterday, I don't blame grandma. It was all done by that whore. I can't blame grandma for being angry." Tears came.Jia Mu ordered the three of them to be sent back to the room, "If one of them brings this up again, come back to me immediately. No matter who it is, I will give him a meal with a walking stick." The lady kowtowed.The old mother agreed and sent the three of them back.In the room, Sister Feng saw no one, so she said, "Why am I like the king of Hades and Yaksha? That whore cursed me to death, and you also cursed me. It's not good for a thousand days, but it's good for one day. Pity me It’s worse than being an adulteress, what face do I have to live this life?” As she spoke, she cried again.Jia Lian said: "You are not enough? If you think about it, who didn't have too much yesterday? Today, I knelt down in front of people and apologized. You have won all. Now you are still nagging, don't you?" Why don't you ask me to kneel down for you? It's not a good thing to be too strong." Sister Feng was speechless when she said that, and Ping'er laughed again with a snort.Jia Lian also laughed and said, "It's good again! Really, I can't help it." Just as he was talking, he saw a daughter-in-law saying back and forth, "The second daughter-in-law Bao has hanged herself." Jia Lian and Sister Feng were all surprised.Sister Feng hurriedly put away her cowardice, and shouted back: "Just die, what's the fuss!" For a moment, Lin Zhixiao's family came in and quietly returned to Sister Feng, saying, "The second daughter-in-law of Bao died by hanging. His natal relatives are going to sue her." " Sister Feng laughed and said, "That's good, I'm going to sue!" Lin Zhixiao's family said: "I persuaded them with everyone, threatened them for a while, and promised him some money. Just agree." Sister Feng said: "I don't have any money! If I have money, I won't give it. Just ask him to sue. Don't persuade him, don't scare him, just let him sue. If you can't sue, ask him. Blackmail with corpses!" Lin Zhixiao's family was in a dilemma, seeing Jia Lian winking with him, he understood, so he came out and waited.Jia Lian said, "I'll go out and have a look and see what it's like." Sister Feng said, "Don't give him any money." Just stop.Fearing that Jia Lian's life would change, he ordered someone to talk to Wang Ziteng, and called several Fan servants, Wu Zuoren, to help with the funeral.When those people saw this, even if they wanted to distinguish again, they didn't dare to distinguish, so they had to swallow their breath.Jia Lian also ordered Lin Zhixiao to put the two hundred silver coins into the fleeting account and make up for the expenses separately.He also gave Bao Er some silver taels and comforted him, saying, "I'll pick a good wife for you some other day."

Inside, although Sister Feng was uneasy, she just pretended not to reason, because there was no one in the room, so La Pinger laughed and said, "I poured funeral wine yesterday. Don't be angry, hit there and let me see." Ping'er said: "It didn't hit me hard." All I heard was that grandma and girls came in.You need to know the end, and I will break it down next time.
