Dream of the Red Mansion

It is said that when Xiangling saw that everyone was joking, he went up to him and said with a smile: "Look at this one. If it works, I will learn it. If it is not good, I will give up my desire to compose poetry." When I handed the poem to Daiyu and everyone to read, I saw that it was written: the essence is trying to cover up the material, and the shadow is from the beauty and the soul is from the cold.

A piece of anvil knocks thousands of miles of white, and half a round of chickens sings five more remnants.

The flute is heard in the autumn on the Green Mino River, and the red sleeves are leaning on the railing at night on the head of the building.

Winning Chang Mo should ask, why not reunite forever!Everyone looked at it and said with a smile: "This song is not only good, but also new and interesting. You can see that there is a saying that nothing is difficult in the world, as long as there is a heart. The club will definitely invite you." If you want to coax yourself, just ask Daiyu Baochai and so on.

While talking, I saw a few little girls and old women rushing over, and they all laughed and said: "There are many girls and grandmas here, but we don't recognize them. Granny and girls, go and recognize your relatives." Li Wan said with a smile: "Where is this? Whose relatives do you know?" The woman and girl laughed and said, "The two sisters of grandma are here. There is also a girl who is said to be Miss Xue's younger sister, and there is another girl." Master, he said he was Uncle Xue’s brother. I’m going to invite my aunt to go now, grandma and the girls go up first.” Saying that, he walked away.Baochai said with a smile, "Can Xue Biao and his sister come here?" Li Wan also laughed and said, "Can our aunt come to Beijing again? It's a miracle that they can't get together." Everyone wondered, come on When Mrs. Wang went to the room, she saw a crowd of people all over the place.

It turned out that Mrs. Xing's brother and sister-in-law brought their daughter Xiuyan to Beijing to vote for Mrs. Xing. It happened that Sister Feng's brother Wang Ren was also coming to Beijing, and the two parents came to help.Halfway to berth the boat, I met Aunt Li Qi, who was also going to Beijing with her two daughters.Everyone said that they were relatives again, so the three families walked together all the way.Later, Xue Bianzhi followed his younger brother Xue Bian, because his father had married his younger sister Xue Baoqin Xudu Zhongmei Hanlin's son when he was in Beijing, and was about to go to Beijing to get married. .So today we will all come to visit and vote for relatives.So everyone said at the ceremony that Mrs. Jia Muwang was very happy.Jia Muyin said with a smile, "It's strange that the lights exploded and exploded last night, and they knotted and knotted again. It should be today."Needless to say, Sister Feng is busy.Li Wan and Baochai naturally talked about parting with their aunts and sisters.When Daiyu saw her, she was happy at first, and then she wept again when she remembered that everyone had relatives, but she was alone and had no relatives.Baoyu knew his feelings very well, so he comforted him a lot.

Then Baoyu hurriedly came to Yihong Courtyard, smiled at Xiren, Sheyue, Qingwen, etc.: "Hurry up and see people! Who knows what Sister Bao's own brother looks like, his uncle and brother describe his behavior differently." It's the same, it's like a brother of Sister Bao. What's more, you only say that Sister Bao is a stunning figure in your family all day long. Now you look at his sister, and the two sisters, sister-in-law and sister-in-law. I can’t describe it. My God, my God, how many talents and talents do you have to give birth to these outstanding people! You know that I am a frog at the bottom of the well. Cheng Ri’s family said that these people are unique, who knows that there is no need to look far away , is the local scenery, one match is like another, and now I have gained a layer of knowledge. Besides these few, are there a few more?" Said while laughing and sighing to himself.When Xiren saw that he was possessed by magic again, he refused to look at him.Qing Wen went to see it early and came back, and said with a big smile to Xi Ren: "Look quickly! A niece of the eldest wife, a younger sister of Miss Bao, and two younger sisters of the eldest grandma are like four sticks of water in a handful. Onion." Before he finished speaking, Tanchun also came in looking for Baoyu with a smile, because he said, "Our poetry club is booming." Baoyu smiled and said, "That's right. This is when you were happy to start the poetry club." , So ghosts and gods sent these people here. But only one thing, I wonder if they have ever learned to write poetry?" Tanchun said: "I asked them all, although they are self-effacing, judging from their situation, there is no one who can't do it. Even if you don’t, it’s not difficult, you’ll know by looking at Xiangling.” Xiren laughed and said, “They said Miss Xue’s younger sister is better, how does the third girl look?” Tanchun said, “Sure enough. According to In my opinion, even his sister and these people are not as good as him." Hearing this, Xiren was surprised, and laughed again: "This is also strange, where is the best way to go? I'd like to have a look." Tanchun said: "When the old lady saw her, she liked her so much. She has already forced her to accept her as her goddaughter. The old lady has to support her, so she has just decided."

Baoyu asked happily, "Is that true?" Tanchun said, "When did I lie!" Then he laughed and said, "With such a good granddaughter, I will forget about this grandson." Baoyu laughed and said, "This It doesn't matter, it's the right thing to love my daughter more. Tomorrow is sixteen, we should start a society." Tanchun said: "Girl Lin just got up, and my second sister fell ill again. In the end, I was in a state of panic. " Baoyu said: "Second sister doesn't write much poetry, so why not without him." Tanchun said: "Wait for a few days, the newcomers are getting acquainted, wouldn't it be good if we invite them? Sister-in-law at this meeting Sister Zibao naturally has no poetic interest in her heart. Besides, Xiangyun didn't come, and the hair is just right, and everyone doesn't fit. It's better to wait for Yun girl to come, these new ones are familiar, and the hair is getting better. Sister Bao's heart is also at ease, and Xiangling's poems have also improved. Wouldn't it be good to invite Yimanshe like this? Let's go to the old lady to listen to it now. Except for Sister Bao's younger sister, he must be in our The house is settled. If those three don’t live with us, we beg the old lady to let them live in the garden, wouldn’t it be more interesting for us to add a few more people.” Baoyu smiled happily after hearing this, He hurriedly said: "You understand. I have always been a muddleheaded person. I liked it for a while, but I didn't think of it." Said, the two brothers and sisters came to Jiamu together. "Sure enough, Mrs. Wang has recognized Baoqin as a goddaughter. Jia Mu is so happy that she doesn't even live in the garden. She sleeps with Jia Mu at night. Xue Biao lives in Xue Pan's study. Jia Mu and Jia Mu Mrs. Xing said, "Your niece and daughter don't have to go home, they stay in the garden for a few days, and then go for a stroll. "Mrs. Xing's brother and sister-in-law's family was originally difficult. When they went to Beijing, it was Mrs. Xing who managed the house with them and helped them to make money. Hearing this, I don't want to. Mrs. Xing handed over Xiuyan to Sister Feng. Sister Feng raised money." It is considered that there are many sisters in the garden, with different temperaments, and it is inconvenient to set up another place. If Xing Xiuyan has something unsatisfactory in the future, even if Mrs. Xing knows about it, it has nothing to do with him. From now on, if Xing Xiuyan's family The date of going to live does not count. If you live in the Grand View Garden for more than a month, Sister Feng will also give you one point and Xiuyan according to the division of Yingchun. Sister Feng is cold-eyed. His parents are the same, but they are gentle and caring people. Therefore, Sister Feng feels sorry for his poor family and loves him more than other sisters. Mrs. Xing doesn't think much about it.

Mrs. Jia Muwang likes Li Wan's virtuousness, and is young and chaste, which is admirable. Now that his widow aunt is here, she refuses to let him live outside.Although Aunt Li was very unwilling, but Mother Jia insisted on not obeying, so she had to take Li Wen and Li Qi to live in Daoxiang Village.

Now that the appointment has been made, who knows that Baoling Hou Shi Nai has been reassigned as a high-ranking official from another province, and he will bring his family to take up the post soon.Because Jia Mu was reluctant to part with Xiangyun, she left him. When she received her home, she wanted to order Sister Feng to live with him in another place.Shi Xiangyun insisted on refusing, as long as he lived with Baochai, so that's all.

At this time, the Grand View Garden was much more lively than before.Li Wan is the head, and the rest welcome the spring, Tanchun, Xichun, Baochai, Daiyu, Xiangyun, Li Wen, Li Qi, Baoqin, Xingxiuyan, plus Sister Feng and Baoyu, a total of thirteen.Speaking of Nian Geng, except for Li Wan who is the oldest, all twelve of them are only fifteen, six or seven years old. Some of these three are of the same age, or some of them are of the same age, or some of these two are of the same month and day, and these two are of the same age. At the same time, the difference is mostly the time and the month.Even they themselves can't distinguish it in detail, but they just call the words "brother", "brother", "sister" and "sister" randomly.

Now Xiangling is full of satisfaction and only wants to write poems, but doesn't dare to criticize Luo Zhaobaochai. It happens that Shi Xiangyun comes.That Shi Xiangyun was very talkative, and Xiangling could not stand there and asked him to talk about poetry, and he became more and more happy, talking day and night.Baochai said with a smile, "I can't bear the noise. A girl's family, just take a poem and talk about serious things, and let the learned people listen to it, and then joke that it's not abiding by duty. A Xiangling didn't It's clear, but you have such a sack of words, what are you talking about: how is Du Gongbu's depression, Wei Suzhou's elegance, how is Wen Bacha's extravagance, and Li Yishan's seclusion. Let it go. The two ready-made poets don't know, what are you talking about those dead people!" Xiangyun listened, and asked with a smile: "Who are those two? Good sister, tell me." Baochai laughed and said: "Stay in Xiangling Heartbroken, crazy Xiangyun talks a lot." Xiangyun Xiangling laughed after hearing this.

Just as I was talking, I saw Baoqin coming, wearing a cloak, resplendent in gold and emerald, I don't know what it is.Baochai hurriedly asked, "Where is this?" Baoqin said with a smile, "Because of the snowy pearls, the old lady found this one for me." Made of wool." Xiangyun said: "There are peacock feathers, which are made of the hair on the head of wild ducks. It can be seen that the old lady loves you, and she loves Baoyu so much, so she didn't wear it for him." Baochai said: "It's a common saying. It is said that everyone has a predestined relationship'. He never thought that he would come here now, and the old lady loves him so much." Xiangyun said: "In addition to being in front of the old lady, you come in the garden. Just laugh and eat and drink everywhere. When you are in your wife's room, if your wife is in the room, just chat and laugh with your wife, and it's okay to sit for a while. If your wife is not in the room, don't go in. There are many people in the room with bad intentions, and they all want to harm us. " Baochai, Baoqin, Xiangling, Yinger and so on all laughed.Baochai laughed and said, "You say you have no heart, but you have heart. Although you have heart, you are too straightforward. Our Qin'er is a bit like you. You say you want me to be your sister every day, but today I ask you to recognize him." Just be my own sister." Xiangyun looked at Baoqin for a long time, and said with a smile: "This dress is only suitable for him, and it is not worthy of others." Just as he was talking, he saw Amber coming and said with a smile: " The old lady said, tell Miss Bao not to worry about Miss Qin. He is still young, so he can do whatever he likes. Just go for whatever you want, don’t worry too much.” Baochai hurriedly got up and agreed, and pushed Baobao again. Qin laughed and said, "You don't know where the luck came from! You can go down, and we'll persecute you carefully. I don't believe that mine is not as good as you." While talking, Baoyu and Daiyu came in, and Baochai still laughed at herself .Xiangyun smiled and said, "Sister Bao, although your words are stubborn, someone really thinks so." Amber laughed and said, "There is no one else who is really annoyed, but him." precious jade.Baochai Xiangyun smiled and said, "He's not such a person." Amber laughed again and said, "It's either him or him." She pointed at Daiyu again.Xiangyun didn't make a sound.Baochai hurriedly laughed and said, "It's not true. My sister is just like his sister. He likes it more than I do, so what's so annoying? You talk nonsense. What evidence does he have?" Baoyu Suxi knew that Daiyu was petty, and he didn't know the recent incident between Daiyu and Baochai. He was afraid that Jia's mother would hurt Baoqin, and he felt uncomfortable. Now that Xiangyun said so, Baochai replied like this again, retrial Du Daiyu's voice and complexion are not as usual, as expected, it is in line with Baochai's theory, and she feels depressed.Because she thought: "the two of them are not so good in the past, but now they seem to be ten times better than others." For a while, Lin Daiyu drove Baoqin to call her sister again, without naming Dao's surname, she was like a real sister.That Baoqin is young, enthusiastic, and intelligent by nature. She has been able to read and write since she was a child. She has lived in Jia's mansion for two days now, and she is probably known.Seeing that all the sisters are not that light and flirtatious, and they are in harmony with their elder sisters, they are not willing to neglect. Among them, they also see that Lin Daiyu is outstanding, so they are even more affectionate and respectful to Daiyu.Baoyu looked at it but secretly wondered.

After Baochai sisters went to Aunt Xue's room, Xiangyun came to Jiamu's place, and Lin Daiyu went back to her room to rest.Baoyu then went to Daiyu and said with a smile, "Although I have read "The Story of the West Chamber", there were a few words that I understood. I made fun of you, and you were annoyed. Now that I think about it, there is a sentence that is not right. Xie, I read it out and you explain it to me." Daiyu knew there was an article when she heard it, and said with a smile, "I'll listen to it when you read it out." Baoyu laughed and said, "Then lt;lt; ;There is a saying that is the best, when did Meng Guang take over the case of Liang Hong?' This sentence is the best. Meng Guang took over the case of Liang Hong'These five words are just ready-made codes, it is difficult for him to know when' The three imaginary questions are interesting. When did you pick them up? Tell me and I’ll listen.” Daiyu couldn’t help laughing after hearing this, and said with a smile: “That’s a good question. He asked a good question too, so you can ask too Good." Baoyu said: "At first you only doubted me, but now you don't say anything, but I'm out of order."

Daiyu laughed and said, "Who knows that he is really a good man. I usually only regard him as a hidden traitor." Because he told Baoyu in detail about the wrong wine order and even the delivery of bird's nest disease.Baoyu knew the reason, because he smiled and said, "I said, I was wondering when Meng Guang took over Liang Hong's case. It turned out that he took over the case from the child's mouth." Daiyu talked about Baoqin again. Come on, remembering that I don't have a 19 spear, I can't help but cry again.Baoyu hurriedly persuaded: "You are looking for troubles again. You see, this year you are getting thinner than the old ones, and you don't take care of it. Every day is good, you must be looking for troubles for yourself, crying for a while, and then it's over. One day." Daiyu wiped away her tears and said, "Recently I only feel sad, but tears seem to be less than in old years. Although my heart is sore, there are not many tears." Baoyu said, "This is because you are used to crying and feel suspicious. No, there will be less tears!" Just as he was talking, the little girl in his room brought an orangutan felt cloak, and said: "Grandma just sent someone to say that it's snowing, and I want to discuss tomorrow's request." People are composing poems." Before he could say a word, Li Wan's girl came to invite Daiyu.Baoyu invited Daiyu to come to Daoxiang village with him.Daiyu put on gold and cloud red fragrant sheepskin boots, a crane cloak with a red feather veil and a white fox in a white fox, tied with a green and gold flashing green double-ringed sash, and a snow cap on her head.The two walked on the snow together.I saw that all the sisters were there, all of them were cloaks of scarlet orangutan felt and feather satin, Li Wan alone was wearing a blue duoluo woolen gown with double breasts, and Xue Baochai was wearing a crane cloak with lotus green bucket pattern on top of brocade and foreign thread silk; Xing Xiuyan is still wearing old clothes, and has no snow-proof clothes.All of a sudden Shi Xiangyun came, wearing Jia Mu and his big black squirrel gown with a big hairy black squirrel with a fever inside and out, and wearing a cloud-digging goose yellow piece of golden gorilla felt Zhaojun on his head, and surrounded by big Mink collar.Daiyu laughed first and said, "Look, Sun Xingzhe is here. He usually wears a snow jacket, and deliberately pretends to be a little showman."

Xiangyun smiled and said, "Look at what I'm dressed up inside." As he said, he took off his coat.I saw that he was wearing a half-new ermine short jacket with three inlaid leaders, autumn fragrance, gold plate, five-color embroidered dragon, narrow sleeves, and a short water-red satin with fox waist pleats inside, which was tightly tied at the waist. A bowknot with long tassels and five-color palace sash, and leather boots on the feet, the more prominent the waist of a bee and the back of a monkey, the shape of a crane and a mantis.Everyone laughed and said, "He just likes to dress up as a boy, which is more beautiful than his daughter." Xiangyun said: "Hurry up and discuss poetry! Whose boss is it?" Li Wan said: "My idea. I think yesterday's day has passed, and it would be too far to wait for the day, and it happened to snow again. Why don't we gather together to catch the wind for them, and we can write poems. What do you think?" Baoyu first said: "That's very true. It's just that it's late today. If it comes tomorrow, it will be sunny and boring."

Everyone looked at it and said, "This snow may not be clear. Even if it is clear, there will be enough to enjoy this night." Li Wan said, "Although my place is good, it's not as good as Luxue'an. I have already sent people to the kang in a cage. Let's go." Everyone gathered around the stove to write poems. The old lady may not be happy to think about it, and we are naughty, just send a letter to Feng girl. One tael of silver is enough for each of you, and send it to me." Pointing to Xiangling , Baoqin, Li Wen, Li Qi, Xiuyan, "Five are not counted, the second girl among us is sick, and the fourth girl is sick, and the four of you are here, and I will cover five or six." Two taels of silver are enough." Baochai and others all agreed.Because he planned to limit the rhyme again, Li Wan said with a smile, "I've made up my mind. I'll know when the date comes tomorrow." After that, everyone chatted again before going to Jia Mu.Nothing today.

In the early morning of the next day, Baoyu couldn't sleep well all night because of this matter in his heart, and got up at dawn.When I opened the curtain, I saw that although the doors and windows were still closed, I saw the dazzling light on the windows. I hesitated in my heart, complaining that it must be sunny and the sun had come out.While getting busy, I lifted the window drawer and looked out from the glass window. It turned out that it was not sunlight, but a night of heavy snow, which would be more than a foot thick, and the sky was still rubbing cotton and wadding.Baoyu was very happy at this time, and hurriedly called people up. After washing, she only wore an eggplant-colored duoluo woolen fox fur jacket, a sea dragon skin eagle coat, tied her waist, and put on a jade needle coir , Put on the golden rattan hat, board the Shatang clogs, and hurried to Luxue Temple.After leaving the gate of the courtyard, I looked around and saw nothing but green pines and emerald bamboos in the distance, but I felt as though I was housed in a glass box.So I walked down the hillside, and just turned around along the foot of the hill, I could already smell a cold fragrance blowing my nose.Looking back, there are more than a dozen red plum trees in Quicui Nunnery in front of Miaoyu Gate, like rouge, reflecting the color of snow, which looks very energetic, so interesting!Baoyu stood upright and watched carefully before leaving.I saw a man on the bee waist pull bridge coming with an umbrella. It was Li Wan who sent Sister Feng to go.

When Baoyu came to Luxue nunnery, he saw the maidservant was sweeping snow and opening paths there.It turned out that this Luxue nunnery was built on the river beach near the mountains and rivers. There are several rooms in the area, with thatched eaves and earth walls, hibiscus fences and bamboo fences. You can fish by pushing out the windows. In the past, it was the bamboo bridge of Ouxiangxi.When the maidservants saw him coming in capes and hats, they laughed and said, "We just said that there is one missing fisherman, and now they are all gone. The girls don't come until they have eaten. You are too impatient." Baoyu listened, had to come back.As soon as I arrived at Qinfang Pavilion, I saw Tanchun coming from Qiushuangzhai, wearing a big orangutan felt cloak, wearing a Guanyin pocket, supporting a little girl, and a woman behind her holding a green silk umbrella.Knowing that he was going to Jia Mu, Baoyu stood by the pavilion and waited for him to come, and they went out of the garden together.Baoqin is washing and changing clothes in the inner room.

When all the sisters came together, Baoyu only yelled that she was hungry and urged her to eat.It was so easy to wait for it to be served. The first dish was steamed lamb with milk.Jia Mu said, "This is medicine for our elderly people. It's a pity that you children can't eat it. There is also fresh venison here today. You are waiting to eat it." Everyone agreed.But Baoyu couldn't wait, so he just made a bowl of rice with tea, and hurriedly swallowed it with pheasant and melon.Jia Mu said, "I know you have something to do today, so you don't even care about your meal." She said, "keep the venison and eat it with him at night." Sister Feng hurriedly said, "there's something else."Shi Xiangyun quietly argued with Baoyu: "There is fresh venison, why don't we ask for a piece, take it from the garden, and eat it stubbornly." Send the child to the garden.

After everyone dispersed for a while, they all went into the garden and went to Luxue Temple to listen to Li Wan's rhyme and rhyme, but they didn't see Baoyu and Xiangyun.Daiyu said: "The two of them can't go to the same place anymore. If they go to the same place, how many stories will be born. Now the piece of venison must be counted." Just as he was talking, Aunt Li also came to watch the fun , because he asked Li Wan: "Why is the brother with the jade and the sister with the golden unicorn so clean and handsome, and they have a lot to eat? The two of them are discussing over there to eat raw meat. There are some things to say." I did. I just don’t believe that meat can be eaten raw.” After hearing this, everyone laughed and said, “It’s amazing, I brought two of them quickly.” Daiyu laughed and said, “This is caused by girl Yun. No matter how good the hexagram is." Li Wan and others hurriedly came out to find the two of them and said: "You two want to eat raw, I will send you to the old lady to eat. Even if you eat a raw deer, you will not be with me if you are sick. It's relevant. It's snowing so hard, it's so cold, it's my fault." Baoyu said with a smile, "it's nothing, we'll eat it on fire." Li Wan said, "that's all." The wives took the iron stove, and the iron stove Fork, wire チ came, Li Wan said: "Cut off your hands carefully, don't cry!" Then he went in with Tanchun.

Sister Feng sent Ping'er to reply that she couldn't come, and was busy with the annual distribution.When Xiangyun saw Ping'er, he was willing to let it go there.Ping'er is also very stubborn. He followed Sister Feng everywhere on weekdays. Seeing it was so interesting, he laughed happily, so he took off the bracelet on his hand, and the three of them gathered around the stove, so they had to burn three yuan to eat first.Over there, Baochai and Daiyu are used to seeing it, and they don't think it is different. Baoqin and Aunt Li are very rare.Tanchun and Li Wan have agreed on the rhyme of the title.Tanchun laughed and said, "Smell it, you can smell the aroma here, and I'll eat it too." Then, he also found them.Li Wan also said at the same time: "The guests are all here, do you still have enough?" Xiangyun said while eating, "I like wine when I eat this, and I can only write poems after drinking wine. If it weren't for this venison, today My son can't compose poetry." As she spoke, she saw Baoqin standing there smiling in a fur coat.Xiangyun smiled and said, "Fool, come and have a taste." Baoqin laughed and said, "It's so dirty."

Baochai said: "Try it, it's delicious. Your sister Lin is weak and can't digest it, otherwise he also likes it." Baoqin heard this, and went to eat a piece. It was really delicious, so she started to eat it too. .For a while, Sister Feng sent a little girl to call Ping'er.Ping'er said: "Smith is pulling me, you go first." The little girl went.

For a while, I saw Sister Feng coming in with a cloak, and said with a smile, "don't tell me if you eat such a good thing!"Daiyu said with a smile, "Go find this group of flowers there! Forget it, forget it, today Luxue Temple was robbed and trampled by girl Yun. I cried a lot for Luxue Temple!" Xiangyun sneered and said, "What do you know! It’s a real celebrity, you are the most disgusting. You are all fake and noble. We are eating and chewing, but we come back with a beautiful heart.” Baochai said with a smile: “If you don’t do well when you come back Now, take out the meat, and put some snow-pressed reeds on it to end this calamity." After eating, he took a shower.When Ping'er was wearing the bracelet, one of them was missing, and he searched all over the place, but there was no trace of it.Everyone was surprised.Sister Feng said with a smile: "I know where this bracelet is going. You just write poems, we don't need to look for them, just go ahead, and we will have them within three days." Then she asked, "What poems are you writing today?" The old lady said that the new year is approaching, and we should make some lantern riddles in the first month for everyone to laugh at." After hearing this, everyone laughed and said, "But I forgot. Now I am rushing to make a few good ones to prepare for the first month. Lian." Saying that, they all came to the kang room, and saw that the cups and plates of fruits and vegetables were all set up, and the rhyme format of poems and inscriptions had been pasted on the wall.When Baoyu and Xiangyun were busy looking at it, they saw that the title was "Jijing couplet, one five-character rhythm, limited to two Xiaoyun." The order has not yet been listed.Li Wan said: "I'm not good at composing poems. I'll just start with three sentences, and then whoever gets it first will connect first." Baochai said: "In the end, there is an order."
