Dream of the Red Mansion

Let's say that Xue Pan's anger gradually calmed down after hearing this.Three to five days later, although the pain has healed, the scars are not healed, so I just pretend to be sick and stay at home, ashamed to see relatives and friends.

Looking forward, it's already October, and because there are some shop assistants who have to go home to calculate the annual accounts, it is unavoidable to have a farewell party with wine at home.There is Zhang Dehui, who is over [-] years old. He has been the head of Xue's pawn shop since he was a child. The family also has two or three thousand gold to live on.Because I said, "There is a shortage of paper notes and spices this year, and they must be expensive next year. Next year, I will send the children to the pawn shop to take care of them. Before I go to Duanyang, I will sell some paper notes incense fans on the way. After removing the tariffs, I can have a few leftovers. Double the interest." Xue Pan listened and thought in his heart: "I have been beaten now, and it is hard to see people. I want to hide for a year or so, but I have nowhere to hide. It is not a problem to pretend to be sick every day. Besides, I He has grown up so much, he has no literary skills, and no martial arts skills. Although he is in business, he has never done abacus, and he doesn't know the local customs, distances, and roads. Why don't he save some money and hang out with Zhang Dehui for a year. It doesn’t matter whether you want to make money or not, and hide away in shame. Second, it’s good to go for a walk in the mountains and rivers.” I made up my mind, and after the banquet was over, I told Zhang Dehui and ordered him to wait a day or two to go together.

In the evening Xue Pan told his mother.Aunt Xue was happy to hear that, but she was afraid that he would cause trouble outside, and spending money would be the end of the matter, so she didn't order him to go.He just said, "Anyway, if you guard me, I can rest assured. Besides, I don't need to do this business, and I don't wait for these hundreds of silvers to be used. It's better for you to keep your own place at home than these hundreds of silvers." Xue Pan The idea has been made, there is Kenyi.He just said: "every day I say that I don't know the world, I don't know this, and I don't learn that. Now I'm ruthless and cut off all the unimportant ones. Now I want to be an adult and learn to do business, and I'm not allowed anymore. How about me? I'm not a girl. Lock me up at home. When will the day be? Besides, Zhang Dehui is a tall and virtuous man. We are friends with him for generations. If I go with him, why is there something wrong? I had a bad place to go for a while, and he naturally said that I persuaded me. He knew the price of things, so he naturally asked him how smooth it was, but he didn't ask me to go. I won't tell my family in two days, I arranged to leave on my own, and I will come home next year when I make a fortune, and then I will know about me." After finishing speaking, he went to bed in a fit of anger.

Aunt Xue listened to his discussion with Baochai.Baochai said with a smile: "Brother really wants to experience serious things. It's good. It's just that he speaks nicely at home, but when he goes out, his old illness relapses, and it becomes more and more difficult to restrain him. But there is nothing to worry about. If he really changes, It's his life's blessing. If he doesn't change it, Mom can't do anything else. Half of her power, half of her destiny. If you are such an adult, if you just worry that he won't know the way of the world, won't be able to go out, can't do anything, and will be shut down this year. At home, it will be like this next year. Since what he said was justified, my mother forgave me and lost [-] silver coins, and asked him to wipe it. Anyway, with the help of the guys, it may not be ashamed to deceive him. Second, when he went out, there was no one to cheer for, and no one to rely on. When he was outside, who was afraid of whom? If he got food, he was hungry and had nothing to rely on. Seeing this, he was afraid that I don’t know if it saves trouble at home.” After hearing this, Aunt Xue thought for a while and said, “It’s what you said. It’s worth spending two dollars to teach him to be a good boy.” .The next day, Aunt Xue ordered Zhang Dehui to come, and ordered Xue Pan to entertain him in the study, while she herself was on the back porch, through the window, and entrusted Zhang Dehui to take care of Xue Pan in a thousand words.Zhang Dehui fully agreed, took his leave after dinner, and said: "The [-]th is a good date to travel. Brother Dashi packs his luggage immediately and hires a mule. We will take a long trip early on the [-]th." I told Aunt Xue this.Aunt Xue, Baochai Xiangling, and two elderly mothers packed their clothes for several days, and sent Xue Panzhi's nurse, an old man, and two old servants who were familiar with things in those days. A total of six masters and servants hired three carts to pull luggage and envoys alone, and hired four long-running mules.Xue Pan rides a big iron blue walking mule raised at home, and he prepares a sitting horse outside.After everything is over, Aunt Xue Baochai and others have to say admonishing words overnight.On the [-]th, Xue Pan first went to resign his uncle, and then came to resign from everyone in Jia's house.It is inevitable that Jia Zhen and others have a farewell party, so there is no need to elaborate.In the early morning of the [-]th, Aunt Xue Baochai and others went out of the Yimen with Xue Pan. The mother and daughter watched him go with tears in their eyes before returning.

The family brought by Aunt Xue to Beijing was only four or five rooms, and two or three old mothers and little girls. Now she went with Xue Pan, and there were only one or two men left outside.So Aunt Xue went to the study today, moved all the furnishings, toys, curtains and other things in for storage, and ordered the wives of the two men who followed to come in to sleep.He also ordered Xiangling to tidy up his room, "lock the door, and go to bed with me at night." Baochai said, "since Mom has these people as companions, why don't you ask elder sister Ling to accompany me. In our garden It's empty again, the night is long, I work every night, the more people there are, the better." Aunt Xue laughed and said, "It's because I forgot that I should have asked him to go with you. I told you the day before yesterday I also told your brother that Wen Xing is young, and there is nothing wrong with it. Ying'er is not enough to serve you alone, so I have to buy a girl to serve you." Baochai said, "I don't know what I bought. It’s a small matter of money, no need to be naughty. I’m slowly inquiring about it, and if anyone knows the history, just buy one.” Deng Dan ordered Xiangling to pack up the quilt and dowry, and ordered an old nun and Zhen’er to send it to Hengwu Then Baochai and Xiangling came back to the garden together.

Xiangling said: "I was going to tell grandma. The uncle has gone, and I will go with the girl. I am afraid that grandma will be overwhelmed and say that I am greedy for the garden, but you actually said it." Baochai He smiled and said, "I know you've been envious of this garden for not a day or two, but you just don't have time. Just come here once a day, it's frustrating, and it's not fun. So take advantage of the opportunity and live for a while. In the past year, I have had many companions, so you have made up your mind." Xiangling smiled and said, "My good girl, you can take advantage of this time to teach me how to compose poetry." Baochai said with a smile, "I say you. You have to look forward to Shu. I advise you to come in on the first day today, and go out of the east corner gate of the garden first. From the old lady onwards, you look at everyone everywhere and say hello, and you don’t have to tell them to move into the garden. If You didn't mention the reason, but you just said that I brought you in as a companion and that's it. Come back and enter the garden, and then go to the girls' rooms." When Xiangling answered and was about to leave, she saw Ping'er busy come.Xiangling hurriedly said hello, and Ping'er could only ask with a smile.Baochai smiled to Ping'er, "I brought him here as a companion today, and I'm going to talk to your grandma." Ping'er laughed and said, "Where does the girl speak? I have nothing to answer. Baochai said: "This is the truth. There is also an owner in the shop and an abbot in the temple. Although it is not a big deal, let me tell you after all. Even if the people who sit in the garden for more nights know that two of them have been added, it is good." The door is closed and waiting for the household. You go back and tell me, I will not send anyone." Ping'er agreed, and smiled at Xiangling again: "Since you are here, why don't you go to visit the neighbors?" Chai laughed and said, "I'm telling him to go." Ping'er said, "You don't have to go to our house. The second master is at home when he is sick." Next.

And when Ping'er saw Xiangling gone, he pulled Baochai and said, "Miss, have you heard our news?" Baochai said, "I haven't heard the news. Because I sent my brother out for several days, everything about you here is completely different." I don't know, I haven't even seen my sisters these two days." Ping'er laughed and said, "The master beat the second master so hard, didn't the girl hear it?" Baochai said, "I heard something in a daze early in the morning. Believe it or not. I was going to see your grandma too, and I didn’t want you to come. Why did you beat him again?” Ping’er gritted his teeth and scolded, “It’s all from Jiayu Village or Fengcun, where the people who came here halfway would not die of hunger. What a wild bastard! I have known it for less than ten years, and how many things have happened! This spring, the master saw a few old fans in that place. Tell people to search everywhere. Unexpectedly, there is an enemy who does not know how to die. The world calls him a stone fool. The poor have no food, but his family has twenty old fans. Take out the door. The second master finally got annoyed so much. When he saw this person, he talked again and again. He invited the second master to sit in his house. He took out the fan and took a look. According to the second master, it was impossible What's more, all of them are Xiangfei, palm bamboo, elk, and Yuzhu. They are all authentic works of ancient people's paintings, so I told the master. The master asked to buy him and give him as much money as he wanted. The stone nerd said :. I starved to death and froze to death. I won’t sell a handful of 1000 taels of silver!’ The master has no choice but to scold the second master every day for not being able to do anything. He has already promised him 500 taels. Just say: "If you want a fan, you want my life first!" Girl, think about it, what can I do? Who knows that the unreasonable Yucun heard it, and set up a way to blackmail him into arrears of official money, and take him to the Yamen He said that he owed the official money, and sold the seller's property to make up for it. He copied the fan and sent it at the official price. The stone idiot is now dead or alive. The master asked the second master with the fan and said: How did they get it here?' The second master only said one sentence: It is nothing to do for such a trivial matter, which makes people ruin their families!' The master became angry when he heard this Master Du, so this is the first big one. There are a few smaller ones these days, and I can’t remember, so they all got together and started fighting. I didn’t pull it down and use a board and stick, just stood I don’t know what I used to beat me up, and my face was broken in two places. We heard that my aunt has a kind of pill here, which is used for sores. Miss, find me a pill.” After hearing this, Baochai hurriedly ordered Yinger to ask for it. A pill came with Ping'er.Baochai said, "In this case, please greet me, and I won't go." Ping'er agreed to go, no problem.

Let's say that after Xiangling had seen all the people, after dinner, Baochai and others all went to Jiamu's place, and then she went to Xiaoxiang hall by herself.At this time, Daiyu is half recovered, and she is very happy to see Xiangling also come to live in the garden.Xiangling said with a smile, "I've come in now, and I've got time. It's my good fortune to teach me how to compose poems!" Daiyu laughed and said, "If you want to compose poems, you can worship me as a teacher. Although I don't understand it, I can afford to teach you." Xiangling smiled and said, "As expected, I will ask you to be my teacher. You must not get bored." Daiyu said, "No matter what is difficult, it is worth learning! It's the beginning, succession and combination, and the middle inheritance is two pairs, flat tones, false to real, and real to false, if there are strange sentences, even plain and tones are not correct." Xiangling laughed: " It’s strange that I often take an old poem and take a look at one or two poems. Some are right and some are wrong. Yes, there are also two, four, or six mistakes, so I am confused every day. Now I hear you say that these style and rules are the last thing, as long as the words and sentences are novel." Daiyu said: "That's the reason, the words and sentences are the last thing. It’s still the last thing, the first idea is the most important. If the meaning is true, the words and sentences don’t need to be modified, it’s good, this is called. Don’t use words to harm the meaning’.” Xiangling laughed: “I only love Lu Fangweng’s poems. Heavy curtain It doesn't roll for a long time, and the ancient inkstone is slightly concave and gathers a lot of ink. It's really interesting!" Daiyu said: "You must not learn such poems. Because you don't know poems, you love this simple and close one. Once you enter it, you will fall in love with it. You can’t learn this pattern anymore. Just listen to me, if you really want to learn, I have lt;lt;Wang Mojie Complete Worksgt;gt; you can read a hundred of his five-character rhythms carefully, After I have figured it out thoroughly, I will read one or two hundred seven-character quatrains by Lao Du, and then one or two hundred seven-character quatrains by Li Qinglian. I have these three people in my stomach as a foundation, and then Tao Yuanming, should , Xie, Ruan, Geng, Bao and others took a look at it. You are a very smart person, you don’t have to work for a year, you will not worry about being a poet!" Xiangling listened and laughed: "In that case, Good girl, just show me this book, and it would be good for me to take it home and read a few at night." When Daiyu heard about it, she ordered Zijuan to bring Wang Youcheng's five-character rhythm, handed it to Xiangling, and said : "You only see that I chose the ones with red circles, and read one after another. If you don't understand, ask your girl, or if you meet me, I will tell you." Xiangling took the poems and returned to Hengwu. In the garden, regardless of everything, just read one by one under the lamp.Baochai urged him to sleep several times, but he refused to sleep.Seeing his painstaking efforts, Baochai had no choice but to let him go.

One day, after Daiyufang had finished washing and washing, Xiangling brought the book with a smile, and wanted to change it to Dulu again.Daiyu laughed and said, "How many songs do you remember?" Xiangling smiled and said, "I have read all the ones selected by the red circle." Daiyu said, "Have you got a taste of it?" I don’t know what it’s like, but I’ll tell you to listen to it.” Daiyu laughed and said, “Only by paying attention to discussion can we make progress. Let me listen to you.” Xiangling said with a smile: “In my opinion, the benefits of poetry , there are meanings that can’t be said in the mouth, but they are realistic when you think about them. Some seem unreasonable, but they are reasonable and sentimental when you think about them.” Daiyu laughed and said, “There is some meaning in these words, but I don’t know where you come from. See?" Xiangling said with a smile, "I think he lt;lt; stuffed gt;gt; a song, and that couplet says: The desert is solitary, and the long river falls into the sun." How can the smoke be straight? The sun is naturally round De: This. The word "straight" seems unreasonable, and the word "round" seems too vulgar. When I close the book and think about it, I seem to have seen this scene. If I were to find two more words to replace these two, I couldn't find two more. One more word. There is more. Sunset rivers and lakes are white, tides come and heaven and earth are green': This. The two words "white and green" seem unreasonable. Thinking about it, you must have these two words to describe it. It seems that there are thousands of words in your mouth. An olive that weighs [-] pounds. Also, there is a sunset at the crossing, and there is a solitary smoke in the ruins: this. The word "yu" and the word "shang" are hard to understand why he wants to come here! We came to Beijing that year, and we stayed on the boat that night , there is no one on the shore, only a few trees, and a few families in the distance are having dinner, and the smoke is actually green, rising straight up to the clouds. Who knows that I read these two sentences last night, it seems that I have gone to that place again Here we go." Just as he was speaking, Baoyu and Tanchun also came and sat down to listen to his poems.Baoyu said with a smile: "Since this is the case, there is no need to read poems. There are not many understanding points. After hearing you say these two sentences, we can know that you have already got the samadhi." Daiyu laughed and said, "You say it. 'Okay, you still don't know that his sentence is still borrowed from the predecessors. Let me show you this sentence, which is more simple and ready-made than this one." Then he took Tao Yuanming's "Warm Nuan Yuanren Village, Yiyi Ruins Liyan" "Turned it out and handed it to Xiangling.Xiangling looked at it, nodded in admiration, and said with a smile, "it turns out that the word "shang" is derived from the word "yiyi." Baoyu laughed and said, "you have already got it. You don't need to talk about it. It's more complicated to learn. You just do it, it must be good." Tanchun said with a smile: "I will make up a card tomorrow to invite you to join the club." Xiangling smiled and said: "Why bother to tease me, girl, I just learned it because I was envious. Just be stubborn." Tanchun Daiyu laughed and said, "Who is not stubborn? Could it be that we are serious about writing poetry? If we say that we have become serious about poetry, we will laugh people's teeth down when we leave this garden." Baoyu Said: "This can be regarded as self-defeating. The day before yesterday I discussed painting with my husbands outside. They heard that we started a poetry club and begged me to show them the manuscript. I just wrote a few poems for them to see. Who is not sincere?" Sigh. They copied all the engravings and went." Tanchun Daiyu hurriedly asked, "Is this the truth?" Baoyu laughed and said, "It's the parrot on the shelf who is lying." Daiyu Tanchun heard , They all said: "You are really messing around! Let alone that it is not a poem, it is a poem, and our pen and ink should not be spread outside." Baoyu said: "What are you afraid of! Don't spread the pen and ink in the ancient boudoir , and now no one knows about it." As he spoke, Xichun sent for Baoyu to invite Baoyu, and Baoyu went.Xiangling forced Daiyu to replace Du Lv again, and asked Daiyu and Tanchun: "Come up with a question, let me make it up, make it up, and correct it for me." Well, I was about to compose a poem, but I didn't finish it, so you came up with one. For the rhyme of Fourteen Han, you can choose which words you like." After hearing this, Xiangling happily took back the poem, I thought hard about writing two lines of poems again, and was reluctant to bear Du's poems, so I read two more poems.So careless about eating and drinking, restless.Baochai said: "Why bother to trouble yourself. You are all attracted by the hairpin. I will settle the score with him. You are stupid, and if you add this, you will become more and more stupid." Xiangling smiled and said, "Good girl Don't mess with me." Said while writing a poem, first with Baochai.Baochai looked at it and said with a smile: "This is not good, it's not the way. Don't be shy, just show it to him and see what he says." After hearing this, Xiangling took the poem to Daiyu.When Daiyu looked at it, she saw that it was written: the moon hangs in the middle of the sky and the night is cold, with clear light and bright shadows.

The poet often thinks of playing to add to the fun, and the wild guest can't bear to watch.

Jade mirrors are hung beside the emerald building, and ice trays are hung outside the pearl curtain.

What's the use of burning silver candles on a good night, and the bright colors of the screen.Daiyu said with a smile, "the meaning is there, but the wording is inelegant. It's because you read too few poems, and you're bound by him. Throw this one away and make another one. Just be brave enough to do it." Ling listened, and came back silently, Yue Xing didn't even enter the house, only sat under the tree by the pool, or sat on the rock and lost his mind, or squatted on the ground to dig the soil, everyone who came and went was surprised.Li Wan, Baochai, Tanchun and Baoyu all stood on the hillside to look at him from a distance when they heard the letter.I saw him frown once, and then smiled to himself.Baochai laughed and said, "This man must be crazy! Last night, he muttered and muttered until five o'clock before he fell asleep. It was dawn before he had a meal. I heard him get up and comb his hair busily." I went to find the hairpin. When I came back, I stayed for a day, and the first song was not good. Now I will write another one." Baoyu laughed and said, "That's exactly it. The earth is outstanding and the people are outstanding." It’s a hypocrisy. We sigh all the time and say that it’s a pity that he is so vulgar. Who knows what he is today. It can be seen that the heaven and the earth are great.” Baochai laughed and said, “It’s good if you can be as painstaking as he is. It won't work." Baoyu didn't answer.

I saw Xiangling happily going to Daiyu's side again.Tanchun laughed and said, "Let's follow him to see if he's interested." Saying this, they all went to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.I saw Daiyu holding a poem and paying attention to him.Everyone asked how Daiyu was doing.Daiyu said: "Naturally, it's hard for him, but it's not good. This one is too perfunctory, so I have to write another one." When everyone wanted to read the poem, they only saw it saying: "It's not silver, it's not water reflecting the coldness of the window, wipe it off." Look at the clear sky protecting the jade plate.

The faint fragrance of plum blossoms is about to be dyed, and the willows are just dry with dew.

It's only suspected that the residual powder is painted with gold, and it looks like a jade railing with light frost.

Dreaming of waking up, the west building is completely deserted, Yu Rong can still see through the curtain.Baochai said with a smile, "it's not like reciting the moon anymore. Add one under the word "moon". The word "color" is still good, but you can see that every sentence is moonlight. That's all. It turns out that the poem comes from nonsense, and it would be better if it was a few days later. " Xiangling thinks this song is wonderful, after hearing this, she was disappointed and refused to let go, so she wanted to think about it.Seeing his sisters talking and laughing, he walked to the front of the steps and walked under the bamboo, digging his heart and soul, without listening or looking.For a while, Tanchun laughed through the window and said, "Miss Ling, you can take a break." Xiangling replied in a daze, "The word "leisure" was deleted by fifteen, and you got the wrong rhyme." Everyone laughed when they heard this. stand up.Baochai said: "It's really a poetic devil. He was attracted by the hairpin!" Daiyu said: "The sage said, "Teach people tirelessly." He came to ask me again. Is there any reason for me not to say it?" Li Wan smiled. Said: "Let's take him to the fourth girl's room, lead him to look at the paintings, and wake him up." Then, he really came out and pulled him across the lotus root and Xiangxie to Nuanxiangwu.Xichun was tired, taking a nap on the side of the bed, the painting was standing on the wall, covered with gauze.Everyone woke up Xichun, and when they took a look at it, there were three stops out of ten stops.Seeing that there are several beauties in the painting, Xiangling pointed at them and said with a smile, "This one is our girl, and that one is Miss Lin." Tanchun laughed and said, "Anyone who can compose poetry should be painted on it, learn quickly. " Said, joked for a while.

After they parted ways, Xiangling still thought about poetry in her heart.At night, I lost my mind on the lamp, and went to bed after three o'clock, with wizened eyes, and didn't fall asleep until five o'clock.At dawn, Baochai woke up. After listening to it, he fell asleep peacefully. He thought to himself: "He has been tossing all night, I don't know how to do it? Now I'm tired, don't call him." Listening to Xiangling laughing from the dream: "But there is, isn't this one not good?" Baochai heard it, and it was both lamentable and ridiculous, so she quickly woke him up and asked him, "What did you get? This sincerity has become a fairy. If you can't learn poetry, you will get sick." As he said, he cleaned up and went to Jiamu with his sisters.It turned out that Xiangling worked hard to learn poetry, gathered all his blood and energy, and couldn't compose it during the day, but suddenly got eight sentences in a dream.After washing and grooming, I hurriedly recorded it. I didn't know what was good or bad, so I took it and looked for Daiyu again.When I first arrived at Qinfang Pavilion, I saw Li Wan and all his sisters returning from Mrs. Wang's place. Baochai was telling them that he was composing poems and talking in his sleep.Everyone was laughing, and when they looked up to see him coming, they all scrambled to read the poem, and listen to the next chapter to break it down.
