Dream of the Red Mansion

It's said that Baoyu heard that Jia Mu was waiting for her return, so she added an extra dress and came to the front with a stick.Because of the hard work every day, Jia Mu and others had to rest early. They had nothing to say all night, and went to court again at five drums the next day.Not far from the soul-giving day, the mandarin ducks, amber, jadeite, and glass were all busy arranging Jiamu's belongings, jade bracelets, colorful clouds, colorful clouds, etc. were all arranging Mrs. Wang's belongings.There are a total of six servant girls, big and small, and ten wives and daughters-in-law who follow, not counting men.Day after day, I packed up the sedan equipment.Neither the mandarin ducks nor the jade bracelets went with them, but only looked at the house.On the one hand, the things for the curtains were distributed in advance for a few days, and four or five daughters-in-law and a few men led them out, took a few cars and detoured to the lower place first, and waited for the layout.

On the next day, Jia Mu took Rong's wife in a pack sedan chair, and Mrs. Wang also took a pack sedan chair behind her. Jia Zhen rode on horseback and led all the family guards.There are also several large carts waiting for the mothers-in-law and maidservants, and put some clothes and bags for changing.On that day, Aunt Xue Youshi led all the people and sent them back to the gate.Afraid of inconvenience on the road, Jia Lian sent his parents up to catch up with Mrs. Jia Muwang's sedan chair, and then led his family to follow behind.

Lai Datian in Rongfu sent people to go to the night to close the two halls and courtyards, and all the people who came in and out went through the small corner gate in the west.At sunset, he ordered the door of the ceremony to be closed and no one was allowed to enter or leave.The front, rear, east and west corner doors in the garden are also locked, leaving only the door behind Mrs. Wang's big room, which is often used by his sisters, and the east corner door leading to Aunt Xue's. These two doors do not need to be locked because of the inner courtyard.Inside, Yuanyang and Yuchuan'er also closed their upper rooms, and took their maids and mother-in-law down to rest.Every day Lin Zhixiao's wife came in and led a dozen or so women to the night. Many young men were added to the hall to sit and play clappers, and the arrangement was very proper.

One day at dawn, Baochai woke up from the spring sleepiness, and lay down on the bed, feeling a little cold. Qi Hu looked at it and saw that the soil in the garden was moist and mossy. It turned out that there was a little rain at five o'clock.So Xiangyun and others were called up to wash and wash. Xiangyun said that his cheeks were itchy, and he was afraid of having apricot ringworm again, so he asked Baochai for some rose salt.Baochai said, "I gave all the rest to my sister." Because he said, "the hairdresser has matched a lot, and I was about to ask him for some, because I didn't feel itchy this year, so I forgot." fetch some.When Ying'er answered and went, Rui Guan said, "I'll go with you, and take a look at Ou Guan by the way." Then, he went out of Hengwu Garden with Ying'er.

The two talked to each other, walking and laughing at the same time, and they didn't realize that they came to Liuyezhu and walked along Liudi.Seeing the willow leaves spit out shallow blue, and the silk is like gold, Ying'er smiled and said, "Can you make things with wicker sticks?" Ruiguan laughed and said, "What are you making?" Can’t weave it? You can do whatever you want. I’ll pick some leaves and weave a flower basket with the leaves, and I’ll pick all kinds of flowers and put them in it, so I’ll be so stubborn.” Saying this, she didn’t go to pick up the nitrate, but Stretching out his hand to hold the emerald green and covering it with gold, he picked a lot of tender slivers, and ordered the pistil officer to hold it.But he weaves flower baskets one by one, picks one or two branches as he sees flowers along the way, and weaves an exquisite basket with lintels.The branches are originally covered with green leaves, but it is also unique and interesting to put flowers on them.The happy Ruiguan smiled and said, "Sister, give it to me." Ying'er said, "Let's send this one to Miss Lin. When we come back, let's pick more and make up a few for everyone to play." Then, he came to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion .

Daiyu was also doing her morning makeup, and when she saw the basket, she said with a smile, "Who made this fresh flower basket?" Ying'er laughed and said, "I made one for girls." I praise your dexterity, but this stubbornness is unique." While looking at it, he ordered Zijuan to hang it there.Ying'er asked Aunt Xue again, and Fang and Daiyu asked for nitrate.Daiyu hurriedly ordered Zicuckoo to pack a bag and hand it to Yinger.Daiyu said again: "I'm done. I'm going out for a stroll today. You go back and tell your sister that you don't have to come over to greet Mom, and you don't dare to bother him to come and see me. I combed my hair and Mom went to you, even for dinner." I also took it there to eat, and everyone is more lively." Ying'er agreed to come out, and then went to Zijuan's room to find Rui Guan, only to see that the lotus root officer and Rui Guan were talking happily, and they couldn't leave each other, because they said: " The girl is going too, wouldn't it be good for the lotus official to wait with us?" Hearing this, Zijuan also said, "That's true, he is also disgusting to be naughty here." As he said, he took Daiyu The spoon and chopsticks were wrapped in a foreign towel, and he handed them to the Ou Guan, saying: "You take this first, and it's a good trip." come.Then Ying'er picked some willow sticks and sat on the rocks to weave them up, and ordered the pistil officer to send the nitrate first before coming back.The two of them only cared about watching him make up, so they were willing to go there.Ying'er just urged, "If you don't go, I won't make up any more." The lotus official said, "I'll go with you and come back soon."

Here Ying'er was weaving, and saw Chunyan, Po's little girl, coming and asked with a smile, "What is sister weaving?" Just as they were talking, Rui and Ou also arrived.Chunyan then said to Ou Guan: "What kind of paper did you burn before? My aunt saw it and tried to sue you but failed, but Baoyu blamed him a lot. He was so angry that he told my mother. What kind of hatred have you accumulated in the past two or three years outside, and you still haven't untied it yet?" The lotus officer sneered: "What hatred? They are not satisfied, and they blame us. In the past two years outside, other things are not counted. , just counting our rice and vegetables, I don’t know how much I earned to go to the family, the whole family can’t eat, and there is also the money earned from shopping every day. Whenever we make them envoy, they will complain. You say Do you have a conscience?" Chunyan said with a smile: "He is my aunt, so it is not good to tell outsiders about him. I can't blame Baoyu for saying: A girl is a priceless jewel before she is married. Once she is married, she will change somehow. There are many bad problems. Although it is a bead, it has no brilliance and color. How? Although this is nonsense, it’s not bad. Others don’t know, they only talk about my mother and aunt, his two old sisters, and now the older they are, the more they take money seriously. The two complained at home that there was no job, no income, but fortunately there was this garden, and I was picked in, and I happened to be assigned to Yihong Courtyard. The cost of saving me alone at home is not bad, and there are four or five per month. The rest of a hundred dollars is still not enough. Later, the two old sisters were sent to Lixiangyuan to take care of them. The lotus officer recognized my aunt, and the Fang officer recognized my mother. These years are really rich. It is also possible to move in now. Even if I let go, I’m just bored. Do you think it’s funny? My aunt just quarreled with Ou Guan, and then my mother quarreled with Fang Guan to wash his hair. Fang Guan didn’t even wash his hair. I got the monthly money yesterday, and I couldn’t push it away, so I asked me to wash it first when I bought something. I thought about it: I have my own money, and when I have no money to wash, no matter Xiren, Qingwen, Musk Moon, which one is in front of me and It's easy for them to say, so why bother? It's so boring. So I don't wash it. He asked my sister Xiaojiuer to wash it, so she was called Fangguan, and there was a quarrel. Then he wanted to blow soup to Baoyu , You said it was ridiculous? I saw him come in, and I told those rules. He just didn’t believe it, as long as he did what he knew, it was boring. Fortunately, there were so many people in the garden, no one could keep track of them clearly. Who is the relative of who? If someone remembers, what does it mean that only our family is arguing? You come here to make this again. Everything on the ground in this area is managed by my girl. Once you get this place, it will last forever The foundation is still very important. I get up early and go to bed late every day. It doesn’t count for my hard work. I force us to take care of it every day. I am afraid that someone will be trampled, and I am afraid that I will miss my errand.

Now that he came in, the two old aunts and sisters-in-law looked after him carefully, not allowing anyone to touch a blade of grass.If you still pluck these flowers and break his young trees, they will come immediately, and they will complain carefully. "Ying'er said." Others can't do it, but I can do it.Since the foundation was divided, each house has its own division every day, so you don't need to count the food, just care about the flowers and plants.Who cares, whoever wears the girls in each room every day, and sends some broken branches and vases if necessary.Only we said:.You don’t need to give them away at all, and I’ll ask you for what you want later.After all, I didn't ask for it once.I will pinch some today, and they are too embarrassed to say it. "

Before he could say a word, his girl came walking on crutches.Yinger and Chunyan waited to give up their seats.Seeing that the woman had picked many tender willows and lotus root officials had picked a lot of flowers, she couldn't help it in her heart. Looking at Yinger's weaving, she couldn't say anything, so she said to Chunyan, "I asked you to come and take care of it." If you call me, and you say that I made you, you can use me as an invisibility talisman for you to have fun." Chunyan said: "You always make me, and you are afraid, this will The son said me instead. Could it be possible to split me into eight petals?" Ying'er smiled and said, "Auntie, don't believe Xiaoyan's words. He picked it all up, please let me make it up for him, I kick him out, he I won't go." Chunyan laughed and said, "You can be less naughty. If you only care about naughty, the old man will take it seriously." Hearing what Ying'er said, she was so distressed that she had nothing to do, so she used the old to sell her old, picked up the stick and hit Chunyan a few times, cursing: "Little hooves, I'm talking about you, and you are still talking to me!" What about my son. Your mother is so angry that her teeth are itchy and she wants to tear your flesh to eat. You are still coming to me to force the clapper.” Chunyan, who beat me, was ashamed and anxious, and cried: “Sister Yinger’s stubborn words, you always Hit me seriously. Why does my mother hate me? I didn’t burn my face to wash my face, what’s wrong with that!” Ying’er was talking obstinately, but when she saw that the old woman was seriously angry, she hurried up to stop her, and said with a smile: “I I'm not ashamed of you beating him up, old man?" The woman said, "Miss, don't mind our business, are you here for the girl and don't allow me to care about the children?" Ying'er heard such stupid words, and went He blushed in anger, threw his hands away and sneered, "Your old man wants to take care of you, but you can't take care of him at that moment, but I just said something obstinate and let him go. I see you take care of it!" Then he sat down, still Weave willow baskets.

But Chunyan's mother came out to look for him and shouted, "What are you doing there if you don't come to scoop water?" The woman then said, "Come and see, your daughter won't even accept me." You’re quarreling with me there.” The woman walked over and said, “Grandma, what’s the matter? We girls don’t have a mother in our eyes, can’t we even have an aunt?” Seeing his mother coming, Ying’er had to go back Say the reason.His girl was there to let people talk, so she looked at the willows on the stone and said to his mother: "Look, your daughter is so big and stubborn. He led people to abuse me first, what should I say about people?" His mother was also thinking about it. Fang Guan was still angry and hated Chunyan for failing to follow his heart, so he came up to slap his ears and scolded: "Little whore, how many years can you go up there? You also learned from that frivolous little woman, why can't you control her?" You? I don’t care what you did, you fell out of me, don’t you dare to control you! Since I can’t go where your hooves go, you should just wait there and run away again Come out to be a vagabond." On the other hand, he grabbed the willow stick and threw it straight to his face, asking, "What's this called? This is your mother's weave!"

Ying'er hurriedly said: "That's what we made up. Don't blame Sang and scold Huai." A group of people, fearful and submissive in their hearts, inevitably angry and hated, also vented their anger on the public, and then saw the lotus official again, who was his sister's enemy again, and gathered a wave of anger everywhere.

That Chunyan went to Yihong courtyard crying.His mother was afraid to ask him why he was crying, and afraid that he would say that he beat him again, and she would be angry with Qingwen and others, so she couldn't help becoming anxious, and hurriedly shouted: "Come back! I'll tell you to go again." Chunyan Are you willing to come back there?The anxious mother ran to pull him again.When he turned around and saw it, he also ran forward.His mother only cared about chasing him away, but the moss slipped under her feet, which made all three of Ying'er laugh.Ying'er threw all the flowers and willows into the river in a fit of anger, and went back to her room.Here, a woman is so distressed that she only recites the Buddha, and scolds: "Small hooves! If you step on a flower, Lei will also hit you." She pinches the flowers and sends them to each room without mentioning it.

But Chunyan ran into the hospital all the time, and met Xiren at the head to say hello to Daiyu.Chunyan hugged Xiren and said, "Girl, save me! My mother is beating me again." When Xiren saw his mother coming, he couldn't help but get angry, so he said, "I've been beating my wife twice in three days." , or are you buying your daughters too much, or are you seriously ignorant of the king's law?" The woman came here for a few days, and seeing that the attacker is good-natured, she said: "Miss, you don't know, leave our business alone! What do you care about now?" Saying that, he rushed to beat him again.Xi turned around angrily and came in, and saw Sheyue drying her handkerchief under the begonia. Hearing such noise, she said, "Sister, don't worry about it, let's see how he is."

Everyone laughed and said: "This is nothing but a mess." Sheyue said to the old woman: "If you show a little bit of anger, don't these people's face, if you ask for it, can't you get it? " The woman saw his daughter rushing to Baoyu's side, and Baoyu took Chunyan's hand and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." .Baoyu became more and more anxious and said, "You are only here to make trouble, why do you offend your relatives?" Sheyue said to her mother-in-law and everyone, "I can't blame this sister-in-law for saying that we don't care about their affairs. Although we are ignorant I made a mistake, and now I invite someone who can take care of it, and my sister-in-law is convinced and knows the rules." Then she turned around and called the little girl: "Go and call Ping'er! Ping'er If I don't have time, I called Mrs. Lin over." The little girl answered and left.All the daughters-in-law came up and laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, please call the child back quickly. It won't be good when Miss Ping comes." Take care of the daughter and everyone take care of the mother." Everyone laughed and said: "You think you are that Ping girl? It's the Ping girl in the second grandmother's house. He is affectionate. If you say a few words, if he turns his face, sister-in-law, you can't bear it and walk around. !"

While talking, I saw the little girl come back and say: "Miss Ping is busy. She asked me what I did. I told him, and he said: "In that case, let's drive him out and tell Mrs. Lin to beat him four times outside the corner gate." That's all ten boards." Hearing this, the woman couldn't bear to go out, so she burst into tears again, and begged the attackers, saying: "It was so easy for me to come in, besides, I am a widow, there is no one at home, and it happens that I have nothing to worry about. I waited on the girls inside. The girls are also cheap, and my family can save some trouble. After I go, I have to make a fire by myself to live, and I will inevitably lose my life in the future." Xiren saw him like this, and his heart softened. Then he said: "You want to be here, but you don't obey the rules, you don't hear about it, and you beat people indiscriminately. There, you, an ignorant person, fight every day and make people laugh. It's out of decency." Qingwen Said: "Take care of him, it's serious to send him away. Who will talk to him." The woman asked everyone again: "Although I was wrong, the girls ordered me to correct it in the future. What about the girls? It's not doing good deeds." On the one hand, he begged Chunyan: "I started to beat you. After all, I didn't beat you. Now I'm suffering instead? Tell me for me." Baoyu saw that he was so pitiful, so he had to stay Next, tell him not to make trouble anymore.The woman came and thanked them one by one.

I saw Ping'er coming and asking what was the matter.Xiren waited hurriedly and said, "It's over, don't mention it again." Ping'er smiled and said, "You have to forgive others and forgive others. If you have to save, you can do some things. You can go for a few days, just listen to the size of the place. People are all upside down, one place is not there and another place is, so I don't know which place to care about." Xiren laughed and said, "I only said that we have reversed here, so there are still several places." Ping'er He laughed and said, "What is this? I am counting with Grandma Zhen. In the past three or four days, there have been a total of eight or nine pieces of size. Your place is very small, and it can't be counted. There are still big ones." It's ridiculous." I don't know what the attacker asked him about it, and I'll listen to the next chapter to explain it.
