Dream of the Red Mansion

Let's say that the Lantern Festival has passed, just because the world is ruled by filial piety today, and there is a concubine in the palace who is not safe, so all the concubines will reduce their meals and make-up for her.Therefore, there is no collection of lantern riddles in Rongfu this year's Lantern Festival.

As soon as she was busy with her age, Sister Feng was just a month old. She was at home for a month and could not be a director. She took two or three medicines from the imperial medicine every day.Sister Feng thinks she is strong. Although she doesn't go out, she makes plans and calculations. When she thinks of something, she orders Ping'er to go back to Mrs. Wang and let others advise, but he just doesn't listen.Mrs. Wang felt that she had lost her arms. How can one person have a lot of energy?Whenever there is a major event, he advocates it by himself, and temporarily asks Li Wan to assist in all trivial matters at home.Li Wan was a man who valued morality rather than talent, so he was unavoidable for his subordinates.Mrs. Wang then ordered Tanchun to contract Li Wan's tailor. She only said that in one month, Sister Feng would have a good rest and would still hand it over to him.Who knows that Sister Feng's endowment is insufficient in energy and blood, and she doesn't know how to take care of herself when she is young.Although he refused to say it out loud, everyone knew that he was out of care when they saw his yellow and thin face.Mrs. Wang only asked him to take medicine to recuperate, not to worry him.He himself was also afraid of becoming seriously ill and would laugh at others, so he wanted to take the air to recuperate, wishing he could go back to normal for a while.Unexpectedly, I have been taking medicine for recuperation until August and September, and then I gradually recovered, and the redness gradually stopped.This is a later story.

Now let's say that Mrs. Wang sees him like this, and it is difficult for Tanchun and Li Wan to thank him for the time being. There are many people in the garden, and they are afraid of losing their care, so they specially invited Baochai to come and ask him to be careful everywhere: "Women don't I know that you have time to eat wine and fight cards, sleep during the day, and fight cards at night. Feng girl is outside, they still have a fear, and now they have to take it again. Good boy, you are still a Dude, your brothers and sisters are young, and I have no time. You have worked hard for me for two days, taking care of them. If you have anything unexpected, please come and tell me. Don’t wait for the old lady to ask. I have nothing to say. Those people It’s not good, you just talk. They won’t listen, so you go back and forth with me. Don’t make any big troubles.” Baochai had to agree when he heard about it.

At that time, in Mengchun, Daiyu suffered from cough again.Xiangyun was also affected by the weather, and he was also sick in Hengwuyuan, and he was constantly receiving medicines all day long.Tanchun and Li Wan lived at intervals, and they worked together recently, unlike in previous years, and it was inconvenient for them to communicate with each other, so they agreed: every morning, they would go to the three small flower halls to the south of the gate of the garden to meet and work together, and they would have breakfast in the afternoon. The wrong party went back to the room.These three halls were originally the place where all the deacons and eunuchs sat up when preparing for the family visit, so there is no need for them after the family visit, and only the women go to night every day.Now that the day is warm, there is no need to make a lot of decorations, but it is just laid out a little, and the two of them can sit up.There is also a plaque on this hall, which is inscribed with the four characters "Fu Ren Yu De", and the common name of the family is only "the meeting hall".Now the two of them come here every day, and they will leave at noon.There is an endless stream of people who respond to the deacon's daughter-in-law and so on.

When everyone first heard that Li Wan was doing it alone, they were secretly delighted, thinking that Li Wan had always been a kind and generous man without punishment, so he was naturally easier to prevaricate than Sister Feng.Then I added Tanchun, thinking that she was just a young lady who hadn't left the boudoir, and she was the most peaceful and tranquil on weekdays, so she didn't care, and she was much more slack than Sister Feng before.Only three or four days later, after a few incidents, I gradually felt that Tanchun's subtleties did not let Sister Feng, but it was just his quiet speech and gentle temperament.Coincidentally, there are more than a dozen hereditary officials of Prince Houbo in recent days, all of whom are either relatives or friends or family friends of Rong Ning. Some are promoted, some are deposed, or there are weddings and funerals. Overwhelmed with entertainment, there is no one in front.The two of them sat up and down in the hall all day long.Baochai then supervised in the upper room for a day, and left when Mrs. Wang returned.Every night when needlework is free, before going to bed, I take a sedan chair and lead the night people in the garden to inspect various places.The three of them reasoned like this, and felt that they were more cautious than when Sister Feng was on a job.Therefore, the servants both inside and outside complained secretly: "Just now, one patrolling Yacha was added, and three Zhenshan Taisui were added. Yue Xing even lost the time to steal and drink at night."

Mrs. Wang was going to the Marquis's Mansion of Jinxiang to attend the banquet that day. Li Wan and Tanchun had already washed and washed.When I was just having tea, I saw Wu Xindeng's daughter-in-law come in and say, "Aunt Zhao's brother, Zhao Guoji, died yesterday. I went back to my wife yesterday, and she said I got it, so I called my grandma back." speech.At that time, there were quite a few people who talked back and forth, and they all asked how the two of them were doing things: if it was done properly, everyone should be in awe, if there were few suspicions and inappropriateness, not only would they not be afraid, but they would make up many stories when they left the second school. Jokes to make fun of.Wu Xindeng's daughter-in-law already had an idea in her mind. If Sister Feng had come before, he would have already expressed many ideas and found out many old rules for Sister Feng to choose and implement.Now he despises Li Wan's honesty, and Tanchun is a young girl, so he only said this sentence to see what the two of them think.Tanchun asked Li Wan.

Li Wan thought for a while, and then said: "The mother of the former Xiren died, and I heard that the reward was 40 taels of silver. This is also a reward of 40 taels." Wu Xindeng's family heard this, and hurriedly agreed, and took the right card. just go.Tanchun said, "Come back now." Wu Xindeng's family had to come back.Tanchun said: "Don't pay money. Let me ask you: In those years, the old lady's house had several old aunts and grandmas. There were also those at home and those outside. If someone at home died, how much was the reward? How much is the reward for the dead people outside, just tell me two and we will listen." When asked, Wu Xindeng's family all forgot, and hurriedly replied with a smile: "It's not a big deal, how much reward, who dares to fight for it?" " Tanchun laughed and said, "This is nonsense. According to me, a reward of one hundred would be good. If you don't follow the rules, don't make jokes about you, and it will be difficult to see your second grandma tomorrow." Wu Xindeng's family laughed and said, "Since that's the case Said, I went to check the old account, but I can't remember it at this time." Tanchun laughed and said, "You are old in doing things, and you can't remember it. It's hard for us. You go back to your second grandma and check it now? What if? For this reason, Sister Feng is not considered a good or bad, that is to say, she is considered generous! Hurry up and find me. One day later, let alone your carelessness, it seems that we have no idea." Wu Xindeng's face was flushed, and he was busy. Turn around and come out.All the daughters-in-law stick out their tongues.Back to something else here.

For a while, the Wu family took over the old account.When Tanchun looked at it, the rewards of the two families were 20 taels, and the rewards of the two outsiders were 40 taels.There are two others outside, one has been rewarded with 100 taels, and the other has been rewarded with 60 taels.There are reasons behind these two works: one is to move the coffin of parents across the province, and the reward is 60 taels, and the other is to buy a burial place now, and the reward is 20 taels.Tanchun handed it to Li Wan to read.Tanchun then said: "Give him 20 taels of silver. Leave this account, and we will take a closer look." Wu Xindeng went to the house.Suddenly seeing Aunt Zhao coming in, Li Wan Tanchun hurriedly offered to sit down.Aunt Zhao opened her mouth and said: "Everyone in this room stepped on my head and paid it back. Miss, you should think about it, it's time to vent your anger on me." As she spoke, she began to cry with tears and snot.Tanchun hurriedly said: "I don't understand who Auntie is talking about. Who stepped on Auntie's head? If you tell me, I will vent my anger on Auntie." Aunt Zhao said: "Young lady is stepping on me, who should I tell!" Tanchun heard, He hurriedly stood up and said, "I don't dare." Li Wan also stood up to persuade.Aunt Zhao said: "Please sit down and listen to me. I've been boiled oil in this room for such an old age, and you and your brother are here again. I'm not even as good as an attacker. What shame do I have?" ? Even you have no face, let alone me!"

Tanchun laughed and said, "That's why. I said I didn't dare to break the law." He sat down, turned over the tent and showed it to Aunt Zhao, and then read it to him. Everyone abides by the rules, but I can't change it? It's not just attackers. In the future, Huan'er will take over outsiders, so naturally they will be the same as attackers. This is not a matter of big and small disputes. Shameless words. He is his wife’s slave, and I follow the old rules. If he does well, he will receive the grace of his ancestors and his wife. Complain. My wife even rewarded someone with a house. I don’t have any shame. I don’t have any shame. According to me, my wife is not at home. My aunt is just quiet and refreshed. Why worry about it. My wife is full of heartache I, because my aunt often has troubles, I feel chilled several times. As long as I am a man, I can go out, I will leave early, and start a career. At that time, I have my own reasons. But I am a girl, one sentence It’s not like I’m talking nonsense. My wife knows it all in her heart. Now she asks me to take care of the housework because she values ​​me. Before I do a good deed, my aunt comes to humiliate me first. If my wife finds out, I’m afraid I’ll embarrass me I don't care, that's serious and shameless, even my aunt is really shameless!"

While speaking, he couldn't help crying.Aunt Zhao had no other words to answer, so she said: "My wife loves you, and you drag us even more. You only care about your wife's pain, and you forget about us." Tanchun said: "Why did I forget? How can I talk about it?" This is also a question to each of you, which master does not love the person who can use his strength? Which good person uses others to drag him?" Li Wan just tried to persuade: "Auntie, don't be angry. I can't blame the girl. How to say it in the book." Tanchun hurriedly said: "This sister-in-law is also confused. Who am I dragging? Whose girls dragged the slaves? You should know whether they are good or bad, and what has nothing to do with me." Aunt Zhao was angry Asked: "Who told you to drag others? You are not in charge and I will not come to ask you. Now you say that one is one, and two is two. Now that your uncle is dead, you gave an extra 30 taels of silver, Is it true that your wife doesn’t follow you? It’s clear that your wife is a good wife, but you are all bitter and mean, but unfortunately, she has nothing to do with her kindness. Don’t worry, girl, it won’t cost you any money. I want you to take care of me when I leave the cabinet tomorrow. What about the Zhao family. Now that they don’t have any feathers, they just forgot their roots and just picked up tall branches and flew away!”

Tanchun didn't finish listening, his face turned pale and choked with anger, he choked and wept, and asked, "Who is my uncle? My uncle was promoted to the nine provincial inspection points at the end of the year, and another uncle came out of there?" I am used to respecting them according to reason, and I respect these relatives even more. That being said, why did Zhao Guoji stand up again and go to school with him when Huan'er went out? Why didn't he take out his uncle's money? Why bother, who doesn't know who I am? My aunt raised it. It will take two or three months to find out the reason and toss it around for a while. I am afraid that people will not know, and I will confess my confession on purpose. I don’t know who will shame whom? Fortunately, I still understand that anyone who is confused and unreasonable should be in a hurry " Li Wan anxiously just tried to persuade, and Aunt Zhao just kept nagging.

Suddenly someone said, "Second Grandma sent Miss Ping to talk." When Aunt Zhao heard about it, she stopped talking.Seeing Ping'er coming in, Aunt Zhao hurriedly smiled and offered to sit down, and then asked, "How is your grandma? I'm just going to have a look, but I don't have time." Seeing Ping'er coming in, Li Wan asked him what he was doing here. .Ping'er said with a smile: "Grandma said that Aunt Zhao's brother is gone. I'm afraid grandma and the girl don't know the old rules. If they follow the usual rules, they only have to pay 20 taels. Now, I ask the girl to decide, and it's okay to add more." Tanchun has already wiped it away. Tears, hurriedly said: "What to add again, who was raised in 24 months? Otherwise, it is also the person who sent troops and horses to escape with his master on his back? Your master is really a coincidence, and asked me to open it!" As an example, he is a good person, taking money that his wife doesn't care about, and being a human being happily. You tell him, I dare not add or subtract, and I have mixed up my ideas. He adds to him and shows kindness. When he recovers, how can love be added? Go." When Ping'er came here, he already understood half of the truth, and now he listens to these words, he understands more and more, seeing that Tanchun is angry, he dare not treat each other in the past when he was happy, and just waits silently with his hands down.

At that time, Baochai also came from the upper room, and Tanchun got up and gave up his seat.Before he could speak, another daughter-in-law came in.Weeping because of Tanchun, three or four little maidservants came with washbasins, towels, mirrors and so on.At this time, Tanchun was sitting cross-legged on a low plank couch, and the maid holding the basin came up to her, then knelt down on her knees, holding the washbasin aloft, and the two little maids were also kneeling beside her, holding towels and handkerchiefs together. Decoration of mirror fat powder.Seeing that the waiting book was not here, Ping'er hurriedly came up to take off the bracelet with Tanchun, took a big handkerchief, and covered the skirt of Tanchun's front.Tanchun stretched out his hand to wash in the washbasin.The daughter-in-law then replied: "Grandma and girl, the one-year public expenses of Master Huan and Brother Lan at home." Ping'er said first: "What are you busy with? You opened your eyes and saw the girl washing her face. If you don't go out to serve, Let’s talk first. Second Mistress, are you so dumb in front of me? Although the girl is kind, I went back to Second Mistress and said that you don’t have girls in your eyes, and you have all suffered, so don’t blame me.” The daughter-in-law hurriedly laughed and said, "I'm careless." As she said that, she hurriedly withdrew.

Tanchun evened his face, and sneered at Ping'er: "You are a step late, and it's ridiculous: even Sister Wu, who is so old, didn't find out, so she came to mess with us. Fortunately, we asked him , He actually has the face to say he forgot. I said he went back to your master and forgot to look for it? I guess your master may not have the patience to wait for him to look for it." Ping'er hurriedly laughed: "He has this time , even though two tendons on her legs were broken long ago. Miss, don’t believe them. It’s because they saw that the eldest grandma is a Bodhisattva, and the young lady is a shy lady, of course it’s because of laziness.” Then, he turned to the door again. Said: "You just play wild, let's talk about it when grandma is safe." All the daughters-in-law outside the door laughed and said: "Girl, you are the most understanding person. Miss Bi. Now Miss is a spoiled guest, if she gets offended seriously, she will die without a place to die."

Ping'er sneered and said, "It's good if you understand." Then he smiled and said to Tanchun: "Miss knows that the second grandma has a lot of things to do, and she can't help but not ignore those things she takes care of there. Look, there may be something that should be added or subtracted, but the second grandma didn't make it, but the girl added and subtracted, the first one is beneficial to the wife, and the second one is not in vain of the girl's affection for our grandma." Without saying a word After that, Baochai and Li Wan laughed and said: "Good girl, I really can't blame Feng girl for favoring him! There are things that can't be added or subtracted. Now, after hearing what you said, I have to find two things to consider, so that I can live up to you. Talk." Tanchun said with a smile, "I'm so angry, no one is angry, and I was about to take it out on his grandma, but he bumped into it, and said these words, so I lost my mind." On the other hand, he said, At the same time, he called the daughter-in-law who came in and asked, "Which one year's money in Huanye and Lang Ge'er's home school is used for?" The daughter-in-law replied, "Eat snacks or buy paper during the one-year school. Each pen has eight taels of silver to use." Tanchun said: "Every man's use is paid by each house. Brother Huan's aunt gets two taels, and Baoyu's is the old lady's attacking people in the house. I get two taels, and Lange's gets it in the grandma's house. How come everyone in the school has an extra eight taels of silver? It turns out that those who go to school are for these eight taels of silver! From now on, this item will be taken away. Son, go back and tell your grandma, if I say it, you must waive this one." Ping'er smiled and said, "It should have been waived a long time ago. Grandma originally said it would be waived in the old year, but I forgot it because I was busy next year." That daughter-in-law I had to agree to go.A daughter-in-law from the Grand View Garden came with a lunch box.

Waiting for Shu Suyun to bring a small dining table, Ping'er is also busy serving dishes.Tanchun laughed and said, "Go and do your thing after you've finished talking. What are you doing here?" Ping'er laughed and said, "I'm fine. The second grandma sent me here. One was to talk, and the other was afraid that there would be no one here. It's convenient, I was originally asked to help my younger sisters to serve grandma and girl." Tan Chunyin asked: "Why don't you bring Miss Bao's rice to eat together?" When the maids heard that, they hurriedly went out to the eaves and ordered their daughter-in-law to say: "Miss Bao is eating together in the living room now, and asked them to bring the food here." When Tanchun heard about it, he said loudly: "Don't be a messenger! Those are housekeepers and ladies who are doing important things. He begs for food and tea, and he doesn’t even know how tall he is! Ping’er is standing here, call him.” Ping’er hastily agreed.Those daughter-in-laws all hurriedly stopped and laughed quietly: "The girls are called there, and we have already been called." As they said, they said with their handkerchiefs on Shiji: "The girl is tired after standing for a long time. The shadow of the sun Let's take a rest." Ping'er sat down.Another two women in the tea room took a cushion and laid it down, saying, "The stone is cold, it's very clean, you can just sit on it." Ping'er hurriedly laughed and said, "Thank you." He came out with another bowl of delicate new tea, and said with a soft smile, "This is not our usual tea. It's for the girls. Let's just moisten it, girls." : "You guys are too noisy. He is a girl, and he doesn't want to get angry. This is his respect, so you despise and bully him. Sure enough, he got angry, but it's over if he is rough, and you can eat it now." No loss. He is acting like a spoiled child, and his wife has to give him a little bit, and the second grandma doesn't dare to do anything. You are so bold to underestimate him, but the egg is hitting the rock." Everyone hurriedly said: "We How dare you be bold, it's all because of Aunt Zhao."

Ping'er also said quietly: "Forget it, good grandmas...the wall is down and everyone pushes it, so Aunt Zhao's grandma is a little out of sorts, and she can rely on him for everything. Don't I know these years? If the second grandma was a little worse, she would have been overwhelmed by you grandmas. Rao, if you have a little time, it will be difficult for him, and you will fall into your mouth several times. Everyone said he was good or bad, and you were all afraid of him, but I knew he was not afraid of you in his heart. We were talking about this a while ago, and if we couldn’t keep track of the beginning and end, there would be two angers. The three Although the girl is a girl, you all look at him. Second Mistress and other sister-in-laws are only in awe of him. You don't pay attention to him now." Just as I was talking, I saw Autumn pattern came.All the daughters-in-law rushed to say hello, and said, "Girls, take a rest too, and the food is set inside. Wait until the table is thrown down, and then talk back." Qiu Wen said with a smile, "I can't compare to you, I can wait there." Then he went straight to the hall.Ping'er hurriedly called: "Come back soon." Qiu Wen turned around and saw Ping'er, and said with a smile, "What kind of peripheral protection are you here?" Turning around, she sat on Ping'er's mattress.Ping'er asked quietly, "What's the answer?" Qiu Wen said, "Ask Baoyu's monthly silver and how long we will get it sooner or later." Ping'er said, "What a big deal. Go back and tell Xiren about me If you have anything to do, don't answer today. If you answer one, you can reject one, and you can reject a hundred." After hearing this, Qiuwen quickly asked: "Why is this?" Ping The son and all the daughters-in-law hurriedly told him the reason, and said: "I am just looking for a few good and bad things and decent people to set an example, to suppress and set an example for everyone. Why bother you to run into this nail first. You Now let's talk about it, if they use you as an example, and they hinder the old lady, if they don't take you as an example, they will say that they are one to one, relying on the old lady, the wife's power Those who are afraid are afraid, and dare not move, just hold the soft nose. Listen, he has to refute two things about the Second Mistress before he can suppress everyone's voice." Qiuwen listened, stretched out He said with a tongue smile: "Fortunately, Sister Ping is here, so I don't feel ashamed. I should have informed them earlier." Then he got up and left.

Then Baochai's meal arrived, and Ping'er hurried in to wait on him.At that time, Aunt Zhao had gone, and the three of them ate on the plank bed.Baochai faces south, Tanchun faces west, and Li Wan faces east.All the daughters-in-law are waiting quietly in the porch, and only they are the maidservants who follow the regular servants inside to serve, and no one else dares to enter without permission.These daughter-in-laws all discussed quietly: "Let's save trouble, everyone, don't have unconscionable ideas. It's pointless to ask Mrs. Wu, and we have no face." They whispered and waited for the meal to finish. .I only feel the silence inside, and I don't hear the sound of bowls and chopsticks.All of a sudden, one servant girl raised the curtain, and two more lifted the table.There were already three girls in the tea room holding three washbasins of water. Seeing that the dining table was out, the three of them went in. Once they took out the washbasins and rinsed their bowls. There were books to be read, Suyun and Yinger, each of them. He took three Gaiwans of tea on a tea tray and went in.Waiting for the three of him to come out for a while, he ordered the little girl: "Please take care of me. We will eat in exchange for you. Don't sit quietly again." The daughters-in-law slowly settled down one by one, not daring to As carelessly and negligently as before.

Tanchun's mood gradually calmed down, because he said to Ping'er, "I have something important to say about Baochai. Mrs. Wang nodded and sighed." If you say that I have no virtue, I shouldn't have such a good wife. "Speaking, I became even more sad. Aunt Xue persuaded me for a while, because Xiren was brought up again, and said." I saw that Xiren has become very thin recently, and he is only thinking about Brother Bao.But if you are worthy, you should keep it, and there are people in the house who are willing to keep it.Only Xiren, although he is considered a housemate, after all, he and Brother Bao have no clear path. "Mrs. Wang said." I was thinking about it just now, and I was waiting for my sister to discuss it.If you say let him go out, I'm afraid he won't want to, and he will seek death and life, if you want to keep him, I'm afraid the master will not follow.So difficult. "

Aunt Xue said: "I don't think my aunt will call me guard anymore. Besides, my aunt doesn't know about the attack. I think she's just a girl, so there's no reason to stay? As long as my sister calls someone from his own family to come." , commanded him harshly, told him to match a serious marriage, and gave him more things to accompany him. The child is kind-hearted and young, and it is not in vain to have a meeting with his sister, and it is considered that her sister treats him well. It’s so thin. I have to persuade Xiren carefully. You don’t need to tell him even if you call his family. We will go to inquire after his family has decided to be a good family. If we really have enough food and clothing The son-in-law looks like a man, and then tell him to go out." After hearing this, Mrs. Wang said: "This idea is very good. Otherwise, if I ask the master to do it rashly, I will not kill another person!" Aunt Xue After hearing this, he nodded and said, "Isn't it!" After saying a few more words, he resigned from Mrs. Wang and went back to Baochai's room.

Seeing Xiren's face covered with tears, Aunt Xue persuaded him for a while. w Xiren was originally honest, not a sharp-tongued person. When Aunt Xue said something, he responded, and came back and said: "I am a servant, and my aunt thinks highly of me, so she said these things to me. I never Dare to disobey your wife." Aunt Xue listened to his words, "What a submissive child!" She liked it even more in her heart.Baochai said the words of righteousness again, and everyone lived in peace.

After a few days, Jia Zheng went home and was greeted by everyone.Jia Zheng saw that Jia amnesty and Jia Zhen had all gone home. Brothers, uncles and nephews met each other, and everyone described what happened in other places.Then the family members saw Baoyu, and they couldn't help but think of Baoyu, and they were hurt for a while.Jia Zheng stopped and said: "This is a certain truth. Now as long as we take care of the housework outside and you help each other inside, we must not be as careless as before. The affairs of the other houses are handled by each family, and there is no need for the general manager. All the affairs of our house belong to you, and you must act according to reason." Mrs. Wang also told Baochai that she was pregnant, and all the girls will persuade her to let her out in the future.Jia Zheng nodded and was speechless.

The next day Jia Zheng entered the palace and asked the ministers for instructions, saying: "I am grateful, but I have not accepted it. I hope the adults can advise me on how to thank you."So the holy grace is mighty, and you will see it immediately.Jia Zhengjin thanked him for his kindness, and the sage issued many orders, and asked about Baoyu again.Jia Zheng played back according to the facts.The Holy Majesty said it was amazing, and said that Baoyu's articles are indeed strange, and he must be someone who has experienced it, so it is so.If it is in the court, it can be used.He didn't dare to accept the title of the Holy Dynasty, so he was rewarded with the Taoist title of "Wen Miao Zhenren".Jia Zheng kowtowed again and went out.

Back home, Jia Lian and Jia Zhen went on, and Jia Zheng recounted what he had said in court, and everyone liked it.Jia Zhen then replied, "The Ningguo mansion has been cleaned up, and it is clear that we will move there. Quicui nunnery is enclosed in the garden for the fourth sister to rest." Jia Zheng didn't say a word, but after half a day, he ordered a report. God's words.Jia Lian also took the opportunity to reply: "Sister Qiao's marriage, both father and wife are willing to be the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family." Jia Zheng also knew the whole story of Sister Qiao last night, so he said, "It's up to the master and wife to decide. Don't talk about the village. It's not a good place to live, as long as the family is innocent, the child is willing to study, and can make progress. Are all the officials in the court from the city?" Jia Lian agreed, "Yes", and said: "Father is old, and besides, he has phlegm disease. The root of it is to rest for a few years, and everything depends on the second master." Jia Zheng said: "It is very suitable for me to talk about living in the village and resting. It's just that I have received a lot of kindness, and I haven't repaid it yet." Jia Zheng said and went inside.Jia Lian sent grandma Liu to come and answer the matter.When grandma Liu saw Mrs. Wang and so on, she talked about how to get promoted in the future, how to start a family, and how to prosper her children and grandchildren.

Just as she was talking, the girl replied: "Hua Zifang's woman comes in to greet you." Mrs. Wang asked a few words. There is a shop, the uncle is a few years older, and has never been married, besides, the character is one in a hundred.When Mrs. Wang heard her willingness, she said, "Go and answer. Come in a few days and pick up your sister." Mrs. Wang ordered people to inquire again, and they all said it was good.Mrs. Wang told Baochai, and still asked Aunt Xue to tell Xiren in detail.Xiren was very sad, but he didn't dare to disobey his orders. He remembered that Baoyu went to his house that year, and when he came back, he said that he would not go back after death. I'm ashamed, if I go, it's really not my wish", so I cried so hard that I couldn't speak, and was persuaded by Aunt Xue Baochai and others, thinking back: "If I die here, I will ruin my wife's good intentions." I'm damned at home."

Therefore, Xiren bid farewell to everyone, and when the sisters broke up, they couldn't bear to say anything more.Xiren boarded the car and went back with a heart of death. When he saw his brother and sister-in-law, he also cried.
