Dream of the Red Mansion

It is said that Baoyu went back to the room to wash his hands, because he discussed with Xiren: "Drinking wine at night, everyone has fun, don't stick to it. What to eat now, let them prepare it early." Xiren laughed: "Don't worry, Qing and I Wen, Sheyue, and Qiuwen are four people, five qian silver each, a total of two taels. Fanggong, Bihen, Xiaoyan, and Si'er are four, each three qian silver, and if they are fake, the total is three Two or two silver coins have already been handed over to Mrs. Liu to prepare forty dishes of fruit. I told Ping'er that I have brought a jar of good Shaoxing wine to hide over there. Eight of us will celebrate your birthday for you alone." Baoyu listened , happily said: "Where are they the money, should not ask them to pay." Qingwen said: "They have no money, do we have money! This is everyone's heart. Even if he steals Yes, just accept their love." Baoyu listened and said with a smile, "You're right." The attacker laughed and said, "If you don't get a couple of hard words from him every day, you won't be able to pass." Qingwen He said with a smile, "You have learned badly now, and you are good at building bridges and stoking the fire." Everyone laughed as they said.Baoyu said, "Close the courtyard door and go." "Xi Ren smiled." No wonder people say you are.There is nothing to do, the door is closed now, people are confused, so wait a little longer. "Baoyu nodded, because he said." I went out for a walk, four children scooped water, and Xiaoyan came with me. "Speaking, I went outside and saw no one, so I asked about Wu'er. Xiaoyan said." I just told Sister Liu, and he liked it very much.It's just that Wu'er was wronged and troubled that night, and when he went home, he became ill again, so where did he come from?Just wait. "When Baoyu heard this, he couldn't help regretting and sighed, because he asked again." Did Xiren know about this? "Xiaoyan said." I didn't tell, I don't know if Fangguan said anything. "Baoyu said." But I didn't tell him, well, just wait until I tell him. "After speaking, come in again and wash your hands deliberately.

It was time to light the lamps, and a group of people could be heard coming in in front of the courtyard gate.Everyone watched quietly through the window, and they saw Lin Zhixiao's family and several women in charge coming, and the person in front was holding a big lantern.Qingwen smiled softly and said: "They checked the people from the previous night. Once we go out, we will close the door." I saw that all the people from the previous night in Yihong Courtyard went out, and Lin Zhixiao's family watched a lot.Lin Zhixiao's family ordered: "Don't play money and eat wine, put your head down and sleep until dawn. I heard that you don't obey." Everyone laughed and said, "There are such bold people there." Lin Zhixiao's family asked again: " Has Second Master Bao fallen asleep?" Everyone didn't know.Xiren hurriedly pushed Baoyu.Baoyu took off his shoes, came out to greet her, and said with a smile, "I haven't slept yet. Mom comes in to have a rest." He also called, "The attacker is pouring tea." Lin Zhixiao's family came in hurriedly, and said with a smile, "Haven't slept yet? Now that the days are long and the nights are short, you should go to bed early and get up early tomorrow. Otherwise, tomorrow will be too late, and people will joke that he is not a young man who studies and goes to school, but he looks like a picky guy." After finishing speaking, he went to bed again laugh.Baoyu hurriedly laughed and said: "What mother said is true. I go to bed early every day, but I don't know that my mother comes in every day. She is already asleep. Today, I was afraid of stopping eating after eating noodles, so I stayed a little longer. Meeting son." Lin Zhixiao's family smiled and said to Xiren and others: "I should make some Pu'er tea." Xiren Qingwen and Qingwen hurriedly laughed and said, "I have made a ヂzi daughter's tea, and I have already eaten two bowls. Yes. Madam also taste a bowl, it is all ready-made." Saying that, Qingwen poured a bowl.Lin Zhixiao's family laughed again: "At this time, I heard that the second master changed the words in his mouth, and rushed these big girls to call them by name. Although in this room, it is the old lady, the lady's person. You should be more respectful in your mouth. If you yell by accident for a while, if you just yell, you are afraid that your brothers and nephews will be the same in the future, and it will make people laugh, saying that people in this family have no elders in their eyes." Baoyu smiled. Said: "What my mother said is true. I was only for a while." Xiren Qingwen laughed and said, "Don't wrong him. Until now, he has not left his sister. But when he was stubborn One and a half names, but in front of people, it's the same as before." Lin Zhixiao's family laughed and said: "That's good, this is the way to learn etiquette. The more modest you are, the more respect you have, let alone the three or five generations. Mr. Chen, the one who calls here from the old lady's house is the old lady. The cats and dogs in the wife's house will not hurt him easily. This is what a well-trained son does." After finishing speaking, eat After tea, he said, "Please rest, let's go." Baoyu also said, "Let's rest again." Lin Zhixiao's family has taken everyone with them, and went to another place.Here Qingwen closed the door in a hurry, came in and said with a smile: "This grandma came over for a drink, and she was chattering, and we went to have a meal again." Musk Moon said with a smile: "He is not Well-intentioned, I have to carry some more often. I also want to prevent the big folds from being lost." Said, while laying out wine and fruits.Xiren said: "There is no need to surround the table. Let's sit on the pear round Kang table. It is spacious and cheap." As they said, everyone carried it.Musk Moon and Si'er went to carry the fruit, using two large tea trays to do four or five powers.Two old women squatted outside on the brazier sifting wine.Baoyu said, "It's hot, so we should all take off our big clothes." The crowd laughed and said, "If you want to take off your clothes, we have to take turns to make seats." God. I know that I am most afraid of these clichés, and I have to do it in front of outsiders. It’s not good if you still bully me now.” After hearing this, everyone said: “It’s up to you.” So they didn’t sit down and were busy Remove makeup and undress.

For a while, he was loading and unloading, with Shi'er casually on his head, and long skirts and short jackets all over his body.Baoyu was only wearing a small red cotton gauze jacket, green silk elastic ink trousers underneath, with loose trouser legs, leaning on a new jade-colored gauze pillow filled with rose and peony petals, and Fang Guan punched first.At that time, Fangguan was full of heat, and he was only wearing a small paddy field jacket made of jade-colored, red, green, and pink satin, a willow-green sweat towel tied around it, and water-red floral trousers underneath, with trouser legs loose.There is a small braid on the eyebrows and forehead on the head, which ends at the top, and a thin braid the thickness of a goose egg is tied behind the head.There is only a small jade plug the size of a grain of rice in his right ear, and a large hard red pendant inlaid with gold the size of a ginkgo fruit on his left ear. His face looks as white as a full moon, and his eyes are as clear as autumn water.The crowd laughed and said, "The two of them seem to be twin brothers." Xiren poured the wine one by one and said, "Wait a while before punching. Although there is no seat, everyone eats in their hands." Let's just take one bite." So Xiren took a bite on his lips first, and the others went down one by one, eating one by one, and everyone sat down together.Xiaoyan's fourth son couldn't sit down because of the edge of the Kang.Then he took two chairs and put them down near the kang.The forty saucers are all white powder Ding kiln, but they are only the size of small tea saucers, and inside are nothing but dried or fresh, water or land, all the wine, food, fruit and vegetables in the world.Baoyuyin said, "We should also make an order." The attacker said, "It's better to be gentle. Don't yell and make people hear you. Second, we can't read, so we don't want those literate ones." Musk Moon He said with a smile, "Let's grab the red with the dice." Baoyu said, "It's not interesting, it's not good. Let's take advantage of the flower name." Qingwen laughed and said, "It's precisely this obstinacy that I have long wanted to do." Xiren said: " Although this stubbornness is good, it's boring if there are fewer people." Xiaoyan laughed and said, "According to me, we quietly invited Miss Bao, Miss Lin, to play for a while, and we can sleep well in the second watch." Humanity: "Open the door again to drink and make trouble. What if you meet a night watchman and ask?" Baoyu said: "What are you afraid of? We three girls also eat wine, so please invite him again. There is also Miss Qin." Everyone said: " That's all, Miss Qin, he's in the grandma's room, talking about it." Baoyu said, "What are you afraid of? Please go quickly." Xiaoyan couldn't hear anything, and the two hurriedly opened the door. Please split up.

Qingwen, Sheyue, and Xiren said: "The two of them are going to invite them. I'm afraid that the two of Baolin won't come. We have to invite him to come." So Xiren Qingwen hurriedly ordered the old woman Light a lantern, and the two go again.Sure enough, Baochai said that it was late at night, and Daiyu said that she was not well. They begged again and again, "At any rate, give us a little face and come back after a while." Tanchun was also happy when he heard this.Because he thought: "If you don't invite Li Wan, it would be bad if he found out." He ordered Cuimo and Xiaoyan to invite Li Wan and Baoqin again and again. .Xiren dragged Xiangling to him again.Another table was added to the kang, and Fang sat down.Baoyu hurriedly said, "Sister Lin is afraid of the cold, so sit by the wooden wall over here." Take another back to cushion it.The attackers and others took chairs to accompany them under the edge of the Kang.Daiyu leaned far away from the table.Leaning back, he smiled at Baochai, Li Wan, Tanchun and others and said, "every day you say that people gather to drink at night, and we do the same today. What can we say about people in the future?" Li Wan laughed and said, "what's the problem? It's only like this on birthdays and festivals in a year, and it doesn't happen every night, so I'm not afraid." As she said, Qingwen took a bamboo stick with an ivory flower name stick inside, shook it, and put it on the among.He took the dice again, put them in the box, shook them, opened them, and found that there were five points in them, counting to Baochai.Baochai smiled and said, "I'll catch it first, I don't know what I can catch." As he said, he shook the tube and reached out to pull out one. When everyone looked at it, they saw a peony painted on the sign, inscribed on it. There are four characters of "Beautiful Crown Qunfang", and a Tang poem engraved in small characters below, the way is: Even if it is ruthless, it is moving.It is also noted: "Let's congratulate each other for a cup. This is the crown of the crowd. People who love to play pay don't care about poetry and elegance. The way is to drink." When they saw it, they all laughed and said, "It's a coincidence that you It was also originally paired with peony flowers." After speaking, everyone congratulated each other.After Baochai had eaten, he laughed and said, "Let's listen to Fangguan's song." Fangguan said, "In this case, it's nice to have a door cup." So everyone drank wine.Fangguan then sang: "The birthday feast is beautifully opened." Everyone said: "Call back quickly. It's very difficult for you to come to your birthday at this moment. I'll pick your best singing." Fangguan had to sing carefully. A lt; lt; when appreciating flowers gt; gt;: green phoenix feathers tie a broom fork, stepping on the gate of heaven to sweep the fallen flowers.Look at the jade dust blown by the wind.Under the fierce cloud, how many doors away is the end of the world.You don't want to kill Huanglong with a sword, and you don't want to sell wine to the old poor in the east.You and I look at Yunxia.Dongbin, if you get someone, you can reply earlier, if you are late, you will teach people to hate Bi Taohua.Just stop.But Baoyu just held the lottery and recited "Even if it is ruthless, it is touching" upside down. After listening to this song, Fangguan was silent.Xiangyun quickly snatched it with one hand and threw it at Baochai.Baochai tossed another sixteen and counted to Tanchun. Tanchun smiled and said, "I don't know what I got yet." He laughed and said: "This thing is not good, it shouldn't be ordered. It was originally an order issued by men outside, and there are a lot of nonsense on it." Everyone was puzzled, Xiren waited to pick it up, and everyone saw that it was a branch of apricot Flowers, the red characters read "Yaochi Xianpin", and the poem says: "Red apricots are planted against the clouds by the sun."Note cloud: "Whoever wins this lottery must win a noble son-in-law. Let's congratulate and have a drink together." Everyone laughed and said, "What did I say? This lottery was originally a play in the boudoir, except for these two or three sticks. Yes, there is no nonsense, so it doesn't matter. We already have a princess in our family, so you are also a princess. Great joy, great joy." After speaking, everyone came to pay respects.Tanchun was willing to drink there, but Shi Xiangyun, Xiangling, Li Wan and three or four people forcefully poured it down.Tanchun only ordered this, and no one else, and everyone would never obey.Xiangyun took his hand and tossed a nineteen o'clock, and it was Li's turn.Mrs. Li shook it, pulled out one, took a look, and said with a smile, "Excellent. Look, this laoshizi has something interesting." Everyone looked at the sign, which was painted with an old plum, which read "Shuangxiao The four characters "Han Zi", the old poem on that side is: the bamboo fence hut is self-willing.Note cloud: "Drink a glass by yourself, and throw the dice at home." Li Wan said with a smile: "It's really interesting, you can toss it. I'll just eat a glass for myself, and don't ask you whether you are happy or not." Then, he ate wine, Will dice with Daiyu.When Daiyu throws it, it's eighteen o'clock, so it's time for Xiangyun to catch it.Xiangyun smiled, stretched out his fist and pulled one out.When everyone looked at it, there was a painting of a crabapple on one side, inscribed with the four characters "Sweet and Dreamy", and the poem on that side said: I'm afraid that the flowers will fall asleep late at night.Daiyu said with a smile: "Late at night, change the word "Shiliang." Everyone knew that he was lying drunk in Xiangyun during the day, and they all laughed.Xiangyun smiled and pointed to the self-propelled boat and Daiyu to see it, and said, "get on that boat quickly, don't talk too much." Everyone laughed.Because of looking at the note cloud: "Since the cloud. The fragrance and dream are intoxicating, it is inconvenient for the person who draws this lot to drink, and only let the upper and lower families have a drink each." Xiangyun clapped his hands and laughed: "Amitabha, it's really a good lottery!" Home, Baoyu is the next home.The two poured two cups and had to drink.Baoyu drank half of the cup first, but seeing no one was there, he handed it to Fangguan, and raised his neck when he picked it up.Daiyu just talked to people and folded all the wine in the gargle.Xiangyun played the dice and rolled a nine, counting the musk moon.Musk Moon pulled one out.When everyone looked at it, there was a branch of tea flower on this side, inscribed with the four characters "Shaohua Shengji", and an old poem written on the other side, saying: It's time for the tea flower to bloom.Note cloud: "Drink three cups at the banquet to send spring." Sheyue asked what to say, Baoyu frowned and hid the sign and said, "Let's drink." Everyone ate three mouthfuls to fill up the three cups.Musk Moon throws a nineteen o'clock, it's Xiangling.Xiangling then pulled out a flower with two pedicles, inscribed "Lianchun Surrounds Rui", and there was a poem written on it, which said: the flowers on the branches of Lianli are blooming.Note cloud: "Three cups for congratulations, and a drink with everyone." Xiangling then tossed another six, and it was time for Daiyu to switch.Daiyu thought silently: "I don't know if there is any good one that I can hold back." She reached out to take one, only to see a hibiscus painted on it, with the inscription "Fenglu Qingchou". An old poem says: Don't complain about the east wind, but be yourself.Note cloud: "Drink a cup for yourself, and peony will accompany you for a cup." Everyone laughed and said, "This is very good. Except for him, no one else is worthy of being a lotus." Daiyu also laughed to herself.So he drank the wine and threw a twenty, which was to attack people.Xiren reached out and took one out, but it turned out to be a branch of peach blossom, inscribed with the four characters "Wuling Bliss", and the old poem on that side reads: Peach blossoms are another year of spring.Note cloud: "One cup of apricot blossoms, one cup for those who sit with Geng, one cup for those who share the same age, and one cup for those with the same surname." Everyone laughed and said, "This time is lively and interesting." Ling, Qingwen, and Baochai are all in the same age as him, and Daiyu is in the same age as him, but there is no one with the same surname.Fang Guan hurriedly said: "My surname is also Hua, and I will accompany him for a minute." So everyone poured wine, and Dai Yuyin smiled to Tanchun: "It is destined to recruit a son-in-law. You are Xinghua, drink quickly Let's drink it." Tan Chun laughed and said, "What is this, my sister-in-law will give him a quick blow." Li Wan laughed and said, "I can't bear to be beaten even if my son-in-law is forbidden." Everyone who said that laughed. up.Attackers want to throw, only to hear someone call the door.When the old lady went out to ask questions, it turned out that Aunt Xue had sent someone to pick up Daiyu.Everyone asked when it was, and they replied: "It's after the second watch, and the clock has struck eleven." Baoyu still didn't believe it, so he asked to look at the watch.Daiyu got up and said, "I can't hold it anymore. I still need to take medicine when I go back." They said, "It's time to leave too." Xiren Baoyu and others still want to keep everyone.Li Wan, Baochai and others all said, "It's too late at night. It's an exception." Xi Ren said, "In this case, everyone has another drink before leaving." Everyone ate and ordered to light the lamp.Xiren and others were sent back across the Qinfangting River.

After closing the door, everyone ordered again.Xiren and others used the big clock to pour a few more minutes, and collected all kinds of fruits and vegetables on the plate to eat with the old mothers in the ground.After each other had three points of wine, they guessed boxing games and sang ditties.It was four o'clock that day, and the old nuns were eating openly, while secretly, the wine jar was exhausted, and everyone listened to Nahan before cleaning up and going to bed.Fangguan's cheeks are like rouge, and the corners of his eyebrows and eyes are full of charm. He can't figure out his body, so he sleeps on Xiren. "My good sister, my heart is beating very fast." " Xiaoyan and Si'er couldn't figure it out, so they went to bed early.Qingwen just barks.Baoyu said, "Don't cry, let's just have a rest." He lay on the red incense pillow, tilted his body, and fell asleep.Seeing that Fangguan was very drunk, Xiren was afraid that he would spit on the wine, so he got up lightly, supported Fangguan by Baoyu's side, and let him fall asleep.But he fell down on the opposite couch.
