Dream of the Red Mansion

It is said that Baoyu hurried to the front when Mrs. Wang called him. It turned out that Mrs. Wang wanted to take him to visit Mrs. Zhen.Baoyu was very happy, hurried to change clothes, and followed Mrs. Wang there.Seeing the scene in his family, he is not very different from Rongning, or one or two are slightly prosperous.If you ask carefully, there is a precious jade.Mrs. Zhen stayed at the table, but she returned after a day, and Baoyu believed it.When she came home in the evening, Mrs. Wang ordered to prepare a high-quality banquet, named it a troupe opera, and invited Mrs. Zhen's mother and daughter.In the next two days, his mother and daughter returned to their posts without saying a word.

This day, Baoyu went to see Daiyu because he saw Xiangyun gradually healed.Just when Daiyu was taking a nap, Baoyu didn't dare to disturb her, because Zijuan was doing needlework in the corridor, so she came to ask him, "How was your cough last night?" Zijuan said, "It's better." Baoyu said with a smile: "Amitabha! I'd rather get better." Zijuan laughed and said, "You also recited Buddha, which is really news!" Baoyu said with a smile, "So that's what it is. He went to the doctor indiscriminately." While speaking, he saw that he was wearing silk thin silk and ink Baoyu stretched out his hand to touch him, and said: "Wearing such a thin coat, you are still sitting in the wind, watching the wind, and the weather is not good. You are sick again." It’s getting harder.” Zijuan said, “From then on, we can only talk, and don’t touch hands and feet. Those who are one year old and two years old are disrespectful. Those bastards who are tight are behind their backs. You always don’t pay attention to you, and you just behave like a child, how to make things happen. The girl often tells us not to tell you to joke. You see him far away, and you are far behind.” Then he got up and carried After finishing the needle and thread, I went to another room.

When Baoyu saw such a situation, it was as if a basin of cold water had been poured into his heart. He just looked at the bamboo and was in a daze for a while.Because Zhu Ma was digging bamboo shoots and repairing poles, she came out in a daze. She lost her mind for a while, ignorant of her mind, and sat on a rock at random, lost in thought, and shed tears unknowingly.I stayed for five or six meals, thinking about everything, but I didn't know what to do.Occasionally, Xueyan took ginseng from Mrs. Wang's room. After passing by, she suddenly turned her neck and saw a man holding his cheek in his hand on the stone under the peach blossom tree. It was not someone else, but Baoyu.Xueyan asked suspiciously: "It's so cold, what is he doing here alone? In spring, all disabled people get sick, dare he suffer from dementia?" Thinking, she walked over and squatted down laughing: " What are you doing here?" Baoyu suddenly saw Xueyan, and said, "What are you doing to find me? Aren't you a daughter? He prevents you from talking about me, and you come to me again. If you are caught When people see it, don't they get tongue-tied again? You just go home." Xueyan heard this, thinking that he was wronged by Daiyu again, so she had to go back to her room.

Before Daiyu woke up, she handed the ginseng to Zicuckoo.Zijuan asked him, "What is your wife doing?" Xueyan said, "I also slept in the middle of the day, so I waited for half a day. Sister, listen to the joke: I sat in the lower room with Sister Yuchuan'er because I was waiting for my wife." Talking, who knows that Aunt Zhao beckoned me. I just pretended to have something to say. It turned out that he and his wife had taken a leave of absence and went out to spend the night with his brother. I have no clothes, so I want to borrow my moon-white satin jacket. I think they usually have two coats. If they go to a dirty place, they may get dirty. I don’t want to wear my own, so I borrow someone else’s. It’s okay if I borrow mine. It's just a small matter, I just thought, what kind of benefits did he bring to us, so I said: "My clothes and hairpin rings are all kept by the girl called Sister Zijuan. Now I have to tell him first, and I have to go back to the girl." The girl is sick again, and it takes a lot of trouble. If you miss you and go out, you might as well borrow it." Zijuan said with a smile: "It's a coincidence that you are a little thing. If you don't lend it to him, you will lend it to me and the girl. Push, so that people can't blame you. He will go down now, or will he go tomorrow morning?" Xueyan said, "I will go now, I am afraid that I have gone by now." Zijuan nodded.Xueyan said: "The girl hasn't woken up yet. Who gave Baoyu the anger and sat there crying." After hearing this, Zijuan hurriedly asked where it was.Xueyan said: "It's under the peach blossoms behind Qinfang Pavilion." Hearing that, Zijuan hurriedly put down her needle and thread, and then told Xueyan to listen carefully, "If you ask me, I will come if you promise me." , came all the way to look for Baoyu, walked up to Baoyu, and said with a smile: "I just said those two sentences for the sake of everyone's good, but you just ran into this windy place to cry and frighten me by being sick." Baoyu hurriedly laughed and said, "Who is angry! Because I heard what you said is reasonable, I think that since you say so, naturally others will say the same, and you will gradually ignore me in the future, so I think I am sad." Zijuan Also sat next to him.Baoyu said with a smile, "you just walked away when you were talking to each other. Why are you sitting next to me again?" Zijuan said, "you forgot? A few days ago, your two sisters were talking, and Aunt Zhao walked in. , _____ I just heard that he was not at home, so I came to ask you. It was just the day before yesterday that you talked to him. The bird's nest stopped and never mentioned it. I was thinking of asking you." Baoyu said: "Also It doesn't matter. But I think that Sister Bao is also a customer. She eats bird's nest and can't stop it. If you just want it from him, you must be honest. Although it is inconvenient to ask my wife, I have already given a little word in front of the old lady. I'm afraid the old lady told Sister Feng. I told him, but I didn't finish telling him. Now I hear that I will give you one or two bird's nests a day, and that's over." Zijuan said: "So you said it, this Thank you again for your trouble. We were wondering why the old lady suddenly thought of asking someone to send one or two bird's nests every day? That's it." Baoyu laughed and said, "If you get used to eating this every day, it will take three or two years to eat it. Okay." Zijuan said: "I'm used to eating here, and I'll go home next year, where I have spare money to eat this." Baoyu was surprised when he heard this, and asked, "Who? Go to that house?" Zijuan Said: "Your sister goes back to Suzhou." Baoyu laughed and said, "You are talking in plain language again. Although Suzhou is originally from Suzhou, it came here because there were no uncles and aunts and no one to look after it. Who will you go back to next year? It can be seen that it is a lie." " Zijuan sneered and said, "You look down on people too much. Your Jia family is the only one with a large population. Except for your family, everyone else has only one father and one mother. Is there really no one in the Fang family? Let's come here, girl. At that time, it turned out that the old lady felt sorry for him when he was young. Although he had an uncle, he was not as good as his own parents, so she took him to live for a few years. When he was old enough to leave the cabinet, he would naturally return it to the Lin family. The daughter of the Lin family will never succeed in your Jia family. ?Although the Lin family is so poor that they have no food to eat, they are also a family of eunuchs for generations. They are absolutely unwilling to leave their family members in the relatives’ house and be ridiculed by others. Therefore, it will be next spring as early as next year, and autumn as late as possible. Even if they are not sent here, Someone from the Lin family will definitely come to pick them up. The girl told me the night before yesterday, and asked me to tell you: He gave you all the obstinate things when I was a child, and asked you to take them out and return them. He will also take the things you gave him. It's stacked there." When Baoyu heard this, it was like a Jiao Lei ringing above her head.Seeing his answer, Zicuckoo just kept silent.Suddenly, Qingwen came and said, "The old lady called you, who knew you were here." Zijuan laughed and said, "He's here to ask about the girl's illness. I told him for a long time, but he didn't believe it. You can drag him away." .” With that, he walked back to his room.

Seeing him staring blankly, with hot sweat and swollen face, Qingwen hurriedly took his hand and walked all the way to Yihong Courtyard.When Xiren saw this, he panicked, and only said that he was feeling the weather, and his hot sweat was blown by the wind.Helpless, Baoyu's fever is a trivial matter, and he feels that his two eyeballs are straight up, and body fluid is flowing from the corners of his mouth, but he doesn't know it.Give him a pillow, and he will fall asleep, help him up, and he will sit, pour tea, and he will drink tea.Seeing him like this, everyone got busy for a while, but they didn't dare to go back to Jiamu again, so they sent someone out to invite Nanny Li.

All of a sudden, Nanny Li came, looked at him for a long time, asked him a few words but got no answer, touched his veins with her hands, and pinched her lips twice hard, the fingerprints were so deep that she couldn't It hurts.Nanny Li just said "It's amazing", and "Yeah", she hugged her and burst into tears.The anxious Xiren hurriedly pulled him and said, "Look at you, old man. Are you afraid? Tell us to go back to the old lady, madam. Why did you start crying first?" Mother Li beat the bed and pounded the pillow and said, "This is not right. It’s useless! I’ve spent my whole life in vain!” Xiren and others thought that he was old and knowledgeable, so they invited him to come and see, and now seeing what he said, they all believed it and cried.

Qingwen then told Xiren that it was just like this.After hearing this, Xiren hurried to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. Seeing that Zijuan was serving Daiyu to take medicine, he didn't care about anything, so he came up and asked Zijuan, "What did you just say to Baoyu? Look at him." , you go back to the old lady, and I don't care!" Said, and sat on the chair.Daiyu suddenly saw that the attacker was full of anger and tears, and his demeanor changed drastically, so she panicked and asked what's the matter.Xiren fixed it for a while, and cried: "I don't know what Aunt Zijuan said. That idiot's eyes are straightened, his hands and feet are cold, and he doesn't say a word. Mother Li doesn't hurt anymore when she pinches her. She is dead." More than half of them died! Even Li Mama couldn't say it was useless, she burst into tears. I'm afraid they will die now!" When Daiyu heard this, Li Mama was an old woman who passed by, so it was useless , it can be seen that it will not be useful.With a wow sound, he choked out all the medicine in his belly, shook his intestines and searched his lungs, coughed loudly for a few moments with the pain of burning stomach and liver, his face was red and messy, his eyes were swollen and his muscles were swollen, he was so breathless that he couldn't lift his head.Zijuan hurriedly came up to beat his back, Daiyu leaned on his pillow to pant for a while, pushed Zijuan and said, "You don't have to beat me, you are serious about using a rope to strangle me to death!" Zijuan cried, "I didn't say anything, just He said a few obstinate words, and he took it seriously." Xiren said: "You don't know him yet, that fool always takes his obstinate words seriously." Daiyu said: "What did you say, explain it early, he I'm afraid I'll wake up." Hearing this, Zijuan hurriedly got out of bed and went to Yihong Courtyard with Xiren.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Jia Muwang and others are already there.When Jia Mu saw Zicuckoo, her eyes burst into flames, and she scolded, "What did you say to him, you little hoof?" Seeing Zicuckoo, Fang beeped and cried.When everyone saw it, Fang felt relieved.Jia Mu held Zicuckoo, thinking that he had offended Baoyu, so La Zicuckoo ordered him to fight.Unexpectedly, Baoyu grabbed Zicuckoo and refused to let go, saying: "If you want to go, I will take you with you." Everyone was puzzled, and when they asked carefully, they knew that Zicuckoo said "I want to go back to Suzhou". brought out.Jia Mu wept and said, "I should have something important. It turned out to be this stubborn saying." Then she said to Zicuckoo, "You are the most intelligent child on a daily basis, and you know that he has a dull root. What are you coaxing him to do?" Aunt Xue persuaded: "Baoyu is sincere, but Miss Lin came from a young age, and his two sisters have grown up so big that they are more different than other sisters. Say it harshly, not to mention that he is a solid fool, even a cold-hearted adult will be sad. This is not a serious illness, the old lady and concubine can just take one or two doses of medicine and it will be fine." Saying that, everyone from Shan Daliang's family who came back to Lin Zhixiao's family came to see my brother.Jia Mu said: "It's hard for them to think about it and ask them to come and have a look." Baoyu heard the word "Lin", and the whole bed started to make a fuss and said, "It's amazing, the Lin family has picked them up, so call them out quickly." When Jia Mu heard this, she hurriedly said, "Call him out." Then she comforted her and said, "That's not from the Lin family. Everyone in the Lin family is dead, and no one will come to pick him up. Just don't worry." Baoyu cried, "Whoever he is, no one named Lin is allowed except for sister Lin!" Jia Mu said, "No one surnamed Lin came, and I beat everyone surnamed Lin away." Tell Lin Zhixiao's family to come into the garden, don't say it. Lin Zi. Good children, listen to my words!" Everyone hurriedly agreed, but they didn't dare to laugh.At that moment, Baoyu saw a Jinxiyang self-propelled boat displayed on the ten-brocade lattice again, and pointed to it and shouted, "That's not the boat that picked them up. Where is the bay?" Jia Mu hurriedly took it down.The attacker hurriedly took it down, Baoyu reached out for it, and the attacker handed it over, Baoyu tucked it in the quilt and said with a smile, "I can't go!"

Suddenly, when the doctor came back, Mother Jia rushed in quickly.Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue, Baochai and others took refuge in the room for a while, and Jia Mu sat beside Baoyu. Doctor Wang came in to see many people.The azalea had to lower its head.Dr. Wang didn't understand what he meant, got up and said, "Brother Shi, this disease is acute pain and obsession. The ancients once said: Phlegm obsession is different. There are those who are weak in Qi and blood, and diet cannot melt the phlegm obsession, and those who are angry and phlegm obsessed And those who are confused are those who have acute pain and congestion. This is also the syndrome of phlegm confusion, which is caused by acute pain, but temporary obstruction is lighter than other phlegm obsessions." Jia Mu said: "You just say that you are afraid, who is with you Memorizing the medicine book." Doctor Wang bowed quickly and said with a smile, "It's okay, it's okay." Mother Jia said, "It's really okay?" Doctor Wang said, "It's really okay, it's all on late birth." Mother Jia said: "In that case , please sit outside and prescribe the medicine. If it is finished, I will prepare another thank you gift and ask him to personally bring it around and kowtow. If there is a delay, I will send someone to demolish the lobby of the imperial hospital." Doctor Wang just bowed and smiled Said: "Don't dare, dare not." He had heard that "Another superior thank you and ordered Baoyu to kowtow", so he said "Don't dare", but he didn't hear Jia Mu's later joke about tearing down the imperial hospital. Still saying "dare not", Jia Mu and everyone laughed instead.For a while, I took the medicine decocted according to the prescription, and I felt quieter than before.But Baoyu just refused to let Zijuan go, saying that he was going back to Suzhou when he went.Mrs. Jia Muwang had no choice but to order Zijuan to guard him, and amber to serve Daiyu.

Daiyu sent snow geese to find out the news from time to time. She knew everything about the affairs here, and she sighed secretly in her heart.Fortunately, everyone knows that Baoyu was originally a bit dull. They were close friends since childhood, and now Zijuan's jokes are also common, and Baoyu's illness is not uncommon, because there is no doubt about other things.

In the evening, when Baoyu is quiet, Mrs. Jia Muwang and others will go back to her room.He also sent people to interrogate him several times a night.Nanny Li led Nanny Song and several other young people to guard carefully, and Zijuan, Xiren, Qingwen and others accompanied them day and night.Sometimes when Baoyu falls asleep, she will wake up from her dream, either crying and saying that Daiyu has gone, or someone will come to pick her up.Every time you are shocked, you must have the azalea to comfort you.At that time, Jia Mu also ordered that all the above secret medicines, such as Quxie Shouling Pill and Kaiqiao Tongshen San, should be taken according to the prescription.The next day, he took Wang Tai medicine again, and gradually recovered.Baoyu knew in his heart that because he was afraid that the azalea would go back, he sometimes pretended to be crazy.Zicuckoo has really regretted it since that day, but now she works hard day and night without any complaints.Xiren and others were all at ease, because they smiled at Zicuckoo: "It's all your fault, and you have to deal with it. I haven't seen us idiots who have heard that wind is rain, so what will happen in the future." Press it for now.

Therefore, Shi Xiangyun's illness has been cured, and he comes to see him every day. Seeing that Baoyu understands, he describes his crazy state to him, which makes Baoyu laugh on his own.It turned out that he didn't know that at first, but now he still doesn't believe it.When there was no one, Zijuan was by his side. Baoyu took his hand again and asked, "Why are you bluffing me?" There are sentiments and reasons, how can they be obstinate words." Zijuan laughed and said: "I made up those obscene words. The Lin family has no population, and even if there is, it is very far away. None of the family lives in Suzhou, and they live in various provinces. Even if someone comes to pick her up, the old lady will not let her go." Baoyu said, "Even if the old lady lets go, I won't obey." Zijuan laughed and said, "You really don't want to? I'm afraid it's just what you say. You don't want to go now." When you grow up, you have even made a marriage, and if you marry again in two or three years, who else do you think?" Baoyu heard this and asked in surprise, "Who made the marriage? Who did he make?" Zijuan laughed. Said: "During the year, I heard the old lady say that she wants to fix Miss Qin. How about hurting him so much?" Baoyu laughed and said, "Everyone just says I'm stupid, and you are more stupid than me. It's just a stubborn saying. He has already It was promised to Mei Hanlin's family. Sure enough, he was settled, and I am still in this state? First, I swore to smash this trouble, but you never persuaded me, saying that I was crazy? It was just a few days ago, and you Come and bully me." As he said, he gritted his teeth and said, "I just wish that I would die right away, burst out my heart, you see, and then all the bones and belts would be turned into a puff of ashes, ____ ashes If there is a trace, it is better to turn it into another puff of smoke, the _____ smoke can still condense, and people can still see it, and it needs to be scattered in all directions by a gust of turbulent wind, which is good!" Said while rolling down tears.Zicuckoo hurriedly came up to hold his mouth, wiped his tears, and explained with a smile: "You don't have to worry. I was worried because I was in a hurry, so I came to test you." Baoyu was even more surprised when he heard this, and asked: " What are you in a hurry for?" Zijuan laughed and said, "You know, I'm not from the Lin family, and I'm also in the same group as Xiren Yuanyang, so he entrusted me to Miss Lin. But he is very close to me. , ten times better than what he brought from Suzhou, we cannot be separated for a moment. Now I am worried, if he is going, I will go with him. I am here as a family, if I don’t go If you go, you will abandon the family. So I was puzzled, so I set up this lie to ask you, but you would make a fool of yourself." Baoyu said with a smile: "It turns out that you are worried about this. , so you are a fool. From now on, don’t worry about it. I just tell you one thing: alive, we live together, if we don’t live, we turn into ashes and smoke together, how about it?” Zijuan listened, secretly planning.Suddenly someone replied, "Brother Huan Yelan greets you." Baoyu said, "Just say it's hard for them, so I just went to sleep and don't need to come in." The old woman agreed to go.Zicuckoo smiled and said, "You're all right, let me go back and have a look at our one." Baoyu said, "That's exactly what I said. I was going to ask you to go yesterday, but I forgot. I'm already fine." Now, you can go." Zijuan heard that Fang was laying down the dowry and so on.Baoyu laughed and said, "I saw that there are two or three mirrors in your stationery. You can leave me the one with the small water chestnut flower. I put it next to the pillow, and it's good for taking pictures when I'm asleep. It's easy to take with me when I go out tomorrow." Zijuan I heard that I had to stay with him, first order someone to send the things there, then say goodbye to everyone, and come back to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
