Dream of the Red Mansion

It is said that Bao Er's family beat him for a while, and said with a smile: "It was a bit true, but I told you to make up this nonsense again, and it became more and more lost. You don't seem to be with the second master, these nonsense seem to be It's Baoyu's." The second sister You was about to ask again, when she suddenly saw the third sister You smiled and asked, "But what does Baoyu in your family do besides going to school?" Xing'er laughed and said, "Don't ask him, auntie." Auntie may not believe it. He has grown up so much, but he has never been to a serious school. From the ancestors to the second master in our family, no one has lived in poverty for ten years, but he doesn't like reading. The old lady's treasure, the master will return it first I don't care, I don't dare to care about it now. The family is crazy all day long, and people don't understand what they say, and they don't know what they do. Everyone looks so handsome outside, and they are naturally smart in their hearts. The outside is clear but the inside is turbid. When he meets people, he doesn't say a word. All the advantages, although he has never been to school, it is difficult for him to recognize a few words. He doesn't practice writing or martial arts every day, and he is afraid of meeting people. He loves to make trouble in the group of girls. Besides, he is not rigid and soft. Sometimes when he sees us, when he likes it, he will not go up or down. He doesn't care about it, and he doesn't blame him. So no one is afraid of him, just do whatever you want, and you can live with it."

Third Sister You laughed and said, "My master is lenient, and you are like this again, and you are strict and complain again. You know it's difficult." Second Sister You said, "It's good for us to see him, so it's like this. It's a pity that he has a good baby." Third Sister You Said: "my sister believes his nonsense. We don't meet each other twice. We act like a girl, but we are only used to it inside. If we are confused, who are confused? My sister remembers that we were together when we were wearing filial piety. In one place, the monks came in to circle the coffin that day, and we all stood there, but he only stood on the head to block people. People said he was impolite and had no winks. Afterwards, he didn't tell us quietly: . My sister didn't know, I didn't wink. I thought the monks were dirty, and I'm afraid the smell had suffocated my sisters. Then he ate tea, and my sister asked for tea again, and the old woman took his bowl and poured it out. He hurriedly said: "I eat dirty. I’ll wash them and bring them back. I looked coldly at these two items, and it turns out that he can live in front of the girls no matter what, but it doesn’t suit outsiders, so they don’t know.” You Er When the elder sister heard about it, she laughed and said, "According to you, the two of you are already in love. Wouldn't it be nice if you were allowed to him?" The third sister saw that she was interested, so she couldn't speak, so she just kowtowed her sunflower seeds.Xing'er laughed and said: "In terms of appearance and behavior, they are a good couple. It's just that he already has it, but he hasn't shown it. In the future, Miss Lin will definitely decide. Because Miss Lin is sick, the two are still young , so it has not reached this point yet. In another three or two years, the old lady will speak up, and it will be absolutely accurate." Everyone was talking, only to see Longer come again, saying: "My lord has something to do, it is a confidential matter , I want to send my second master to Ping'an Prefecture, but I will get up in three or five days, and it will take half a month to go back and forth. I can't come today. Please make a decision with the second aunt, the old lady, and the master will come tomorrow to make a decision." , took Xing'er back.

Here, Second Sister You ordered her to close the door and go to bed early, and interrogated his sister all night.In the afternoon of the next day, Jia Lianfang came.The second sister You persuaded him, "Since there is business, why bother to come again? Don't make trouble for me." Jia Lian said, "It's nothing serious, but another long-distance errand happened. It's a month away. Just get up, and it will take half a month to come." Second Sister You said: "Since that's the case, you just go with peace of mind, you don't need to worry about anything here. Third sister, he will never change from day to night. He has already said that he repented, He must have repented. He has already made up his mind, so you just have to follow him." Jia Lian asked who it was, and Second Sister You smiled and said, "This man is not here at the moment. He didn't know how early he came. It's hard for him to see. Said, if this person doesn't come for a year, he waits for a year, doesn't come for ten years, waits for ten years, if this person dies and doesn't come again, he would rather shave his head and become a sister-in-law, eat a long fast and recite the Buddha's name, and end his life. Jia Lian asked, "Who is it that moved his heart like this?" The second sister laughed and said, "It's a long story. Five years ago, our mother had a birthday at my mother's house. Mom and we went there to celebrate her birthday. His family invited We were visiting together, and there was a young man named Liu Xianglian, he fell in love with it, and now we would marry him. We heard that Liu Xianglian got into trouble and escaped in the past. I wonder if he has come?" Jia Lian listened Liao said: "Strange way! I said what kind of person it is, it turned out to be him! Sure enough, he has good eyesight. You don't know that Liu Erlang, such a beautiful person, is the most cold-faced and cold-hearted, and almost everyone is ruthless. He was the one who got along with Baoyu the most. He was embarrassed to see us last year because he beat up idiot Xue. If he doesn't come, he has been wandering around, and he didn't come until a few years ago. Wouldn't it be a waste of time?" Second Sister You said: "Our three girls can say what they want, and they can do it, and he can say whatever he wants. "

While the two were talking, Third Sister You came up and said, "Brother-in-law, you just need to rest assured. We are not the ones who say what we say. If someone with the surname Liu comes, I will marry him. From now on Starting today, I will eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha, and I will only serve my mother. When he comes, I will marry him. If I don’t come for 100 years, I will go to practice by myself.” As he spoke, he split a jade hairpin into two sections, “One sentence is not Really, just like this hairpin!" After saying that, she went back to her room, but the real one didn't move and said nothing.Jia Lian had no choice but to discuss with her second sister about going home, and then went home to discuss with Sister Feng about getting up.While people asked Mingyan, Mingyan said: "I don't know. About the future, if it comes, I must know it." On the other hand, he asked his neighbors, also talking about the future.Jia Lian had no choice but to reply to the second sister.The day of getting up was approaching, so I talked about getting up two days ago, but I went to the second sister's place to stay for two nights, and then went on a long journey quietly from here.Seeing that the younger sister has changed to another person, and seeing that the second sister is diligent and careful in managing the house, I don't need to worry about it.

When I left the city early in the morning, I went to Ping'anzhou Avenue, where I lived at night when I was thirsty and hungry.Fang walked for three days. While walking that day, a group of pack packs came at the head. Among them, ten masters and servants rode on horses. When they walked closer, they were Xue Pan and Liu Xianglian.Jia Lian was very surprised, and hurriedly stretched out his horse to meet him. We met together, and after saying goodbye, we all went to the hotel to rest and talk.Jia Lian said with a smile, "After the quarrel, we were busy asking you two to reconcile, but there was no trace of Brother Liu. Why did you two fall together today?" Xue Pan laughed and said, "There is such a strange thing in the world. I sold the goods with my buddy, got up in the spring, walked back, and the journey was safe. Unexpectedly, when I arrived at the border of Ping'an State the day before yesterday, I met a group of robbers and robbed the things. I didn't want the second brother Liu to come from there. The thieves dispersed, took back the goods, and saved our lives. I thanked him but refused, so we sworn brothers in life and death, and now we go to Beijing together. From then on, we are like brothers and sisters. We parted ways at the fork ahead, He split the road two hundred miles to the south and there was his aunt, who he went to visit. I went to Beijing to arrange my affairs, and then I found him a house and a good marriage, and we lived together." After hearing this, Jia Lian said, "So that's the case, but it taught us to hang on for a few days." Because he heard about looking for relatives again, he hurriedly said, "I have a good marriage worthy of my second brother." Mrs. You, now I'm going to marry my aunt again, but I don't want to say what Third Sister You chose on her own.He also asked Xue Pan not to tell his family. He would naturally know about it when he gave birth to a son.Xue Pan was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "It should have been like this a long time ago, it's all my cousin's fault." Xianglian hurriedly laughed and said, "You've forgotten your feelings again, so you can't keep talking."

Xue Pan hurriedly stopped talking, and said: "Since this is the case, this marriage must be done." Xianglian said: "I had a wish, and I must have a stunning woman. Now that I am a noble woman, I can't care about it. There are a lot of them, and I will do whatever I want." Jia Lian said with a smile: "Now there is no basis for what I say, but when Brother Liu sees me, I will know that my inner wife's appearance is unique in ancient and modern times." Xianglian was overjoyed when she heard this. Said: "Since that's the case, how about waiting for my brother to visit the girl, but he will go to Beijing in the middle of the month?" Jia Lian said with a smile, "You and I are determined, but I can't trust Brother Liu. You are the footsteps." Wandering, if you are stuck and do not return, you will not miss others. You must leave a certain courtesy." Xianglian said: "There is no reason for a man to break his promise. My younger brother is poor and poor. Besides, among the guests, how can there be a certain courtesy?" Xue Xue Pan said: "I have it ready-made here, so I'll prepare a piece of it for my second brother to take." Jia Lian said with a smile, "I don't need gifts of gold and silk, it must be something that Brother Liu owns, no matter how expensive or poor it is, but I will take it to win the trust." Er." Xiang Lian said: "Since that's what you said, I have nothing else. I can't untie this sword for self-defense. There is still a mandarin duck sword in my bag, which is a treasure passed down from generation to generation in my family. I don't dare to use it without permission. I just keep it with me. Brother Jia, please take it to make a decision. My younger brother has the nature of flowing water and falling flowers, but he will never give up this sword." After speaking, everyone drank a few more cups before getting on their horses and saying goodbye.It's exactly: the generals don't get off their horses, and go their own way.

Let's say that Jia Lian arrived in Ping'an Prefecture one day, met Jiedu and finished his business.Because he was also asked to come back around October, Jia Lian took the order.The next day, he hurriedly made his way home and visited Second Sister You first.Unexpectedly, after Jia Lian went out, Second Sister You was very cautious about housework, closed the door every day, and didn't hear anything about foreign affairs.His little sister is really a decisive person. Apart from serving her mother and sister every day, she just keeps her own life and lives as she pleases.Although she was alone in bed at night and was not used to being lonely, Nai bent on leaving everyone behind, only thinking that Liu Xianglian would come back early to complete the important events of her life.When Jia Lian came in this day, seeing such a scene, he was overjoyed and missed the virtue of his second sister.After everyone talked about the cold and warm, Jia Lian told the story of meeting Xianglian on the road, took out the Mandarin duck sword, and handed it to the third sister.When the third sister looked at it, the dragon swallowed the Kui shield on the top, the jewels were shining, and she pulled the target, but the two inside fit together.One is engraved with the Chinese character "Yuan", and the other is engraved with the Chinese character "Yang". They are chilly and bright, like two traces of autumn water.The third sister was overjoyed, she quickly took it away, and hung it on the bed in her embroidery room, looking at the sword every day, laughing to herself that she would be dependable for life.Jia Lian stayed for two days, went back to his father's order, and went home to share the house to meet each other.At that time, Sister Feng had recovered and came out to be a director and walk.Jia Lian told Jia Zhen about it again.Because Jia Zhen met a new friend recently, she forgot about this matter and let Jia Lian judge it. I am afraid that Jia Lian will not be able to do it alone, and she will have to give him another 30 taels of silver.Jia Lian took it and handed it to the second sister to prepare the dowry.Unexpectedly, Xianglianfang came to Beijing in August, first came to see Aunt Xue, and then met Xue Biao. It was known that Xue Pan was not used to the wind and frost, and he fell ill at home as soon as he entered Beijing. He asked a doctor for treatment.Hearing that Xianglian is coming, please meet in the bedroom.Aunt Xue didn't miss the old things, but only thanked her for her new kindness. The mother and son were very grateful.Speaking of marriage, everything is in order, and we just have to wait for another day.Liu Xianglian was also very grateful.

The next day I came to see Baoyu again, and the two met like ducks in water.When Xianglian asked Jia Lian about marrying the second wife secretly, Baoyu said with a smile, "I heard Mingyan say it, but I didn't see it, and I didn't dare to take care of it. I heard Mingyan say again that Lian's second brother really asked you, I don't know what to say?" Xianglian told Baoyu everything on the road, and Baoyu smiled and said, "I'm so happy, I'm so happy! It's rare that this handsome man is really a beautiful man from ancient to modern times, and he is worthy of you." Xianglian said: "In that case, There are few people there, so he only thinks of me. Besides, I am not very close to him, and I don’t care about it. I am so busy on the road, so I have to make decisions again and again. Could it be that the woman’s family is driving the man’s family? I became confused and regretted that I shouldn't have left this sword to make a decision. So when I think of you later, I can ask you carefully." Baoyu said: "You are a delicate person, how can you be confused after making the ceremony? You originally said that you only want a stunning beauty, but now that you have a stunning beauty, that's all. Why doubt it?" Xianglian said: "You don't know that he is married, so how do you know that he is stunning?" Baoyu said: "He is the stepmother of Mrs. Zhen's sister-in-law. Two aunts here. I have been with them there for a month, why don’t I know? They are really a pair of beauties, and his surname is You.” After hearing this, Xiang Lian stumbled and said, “This is not a good thing, so I can’t do it. Apart from the two stone lions, the mansion is clean, and I'm afraid even the cats and dogs are not clean. I won't do this and forget about it." Baoyu blushed when he heard about it.Xiang Lian was ashamed of her slip of the tongue, and hurriedly bowed and said, "I should be talking nonsense. Tell me anyway, how is his character?"

Baoyu said with a smile, "You know it well, but you come to ask me what I do? Even I may not be clean." Xianglian said with a smile, "It's because I forgot about it for a while, so don't worry about it anyway." Baoyu laughed and said, "Why bother again?" Mention, this is intentional." Xiang Lian bowed and said goodbye, if she went to find Xue Pan, either he was sick, or he was impetuous, so it is better to ask for the ceremony.Having made up his mind, he came all the way to Jia Lian.Jia Lian was in the new house, and when he heard that Xianglian was coming, he couldn't help being overjoyed, so he hurriedly greeted him and asked him to meet You Lao in the inner room.Xianglian only bowed to her old aunt and claimed to be a late born. Jia Lian was surprised when she heard this.While eating tea, Xianglian said: "The guest was in a hurry by accident. Who knows that my aunt engaged my brother-in-law in April, leaving my brother speechless. It seems unreasonable to follow my brother and carry my aunt. If it is gold and silk I dare not ask for the order, but this sword belongs to my grandfather, so please give it back." Jia Lian felt uncomfortable when he heard this, and said, "It's decided, it's decided. I was afraid of going back on my word, so I made it. Is it right? In matters of marriage, come and go as you like? You have to decide." Xianglian said with a smile: "Although I say so, I am willing to accept responsibility and punishment, but I dare not obey orders in this matter."

Jia Lian was still talking, so Xianglian got up and said, "Brother, please sit outside and talk, it's inconvenient here." The third sister Nayou heard it clearly in the room.It was so easy to wait for him to come, but now I suddenly regretted it, and knew that he had got the news from Jia's residence, so I naturally thought that I was a shameless person who was promiscuous and disdained to be his wife.Now if he is allowed to go out and talk to Jia Lian about retiring, then Jia Lian will have nothing to do with him, and he will not be bored.As soon as Jia Lian heard that Jia Lian was going out with him, he quickly took off his sword, hid a female sword in his elbow, and when he came out, he said, "You don't have to go out to discuss again, but return your promise." The sword and sheath were sent to Xiang Lian, and the right hand turned back to the elbow and only moved across the neck.Poor "the crushed peach blossoms are all over the ground, and the jade mountain can't be helped when it collapses", Fang Linghui's nature is vague, and she doesn't know where she has gone.At the moment, everyone was in a hurry.Old You cried and scolded Xianglian at the same time.Jia Lian hurriedly grabbed Xianglian and ordered someone to tie her up and send her to the official.The second sister You hurriedly stopped her tears and advised Jia Lian: "You have too many troubles. They didn't threaten him to die. He committed suicide. What's the use of sending him to the government? Instead, you will make a fool of yourself. It's better to let him go. Come on, it's easy." Jia Lian lost his mind at this time, so he let go and ordered Xianglian to go quickly.Xianglian didn't get up, and cried, "I didn't know she was such a strong and good wife, respectable, respectable." Xianglian helped the corpse and cried loudly.After buying the coffin, seeing the coffin being encoffined, I leaned over the coffin and cried a lot before leaving.

Going out with nothing to do, drowsy and silent, thinking about the things just now.It turns out that Third Sister You is so beautiful and so staunch, I can't regret it.As I was walking, I saw Xue Pan's young man looking for his house, and Xianglian just went into a trance.The young servant took him to the new house, which was very tidy.Suddenly listening to the jingle, Third Sister You came in from the outside, holding a mandarin duck sword in one hand and a booklet in the other, weeping to Liu Xianglian: "I have been infatuated with you for five years. Unexpectedly, Junguo is cold-hearted and cold-faced." , This concubine repays this infatuation with death. I am ordered by the police to go to the illusory realm to edit all the lovers in the case. I can't bear to say goodbye, so I came here for a while, and we will never see each other again." Walk.

Xianglian was reluctant, and when she was about to come up and ask, the third sister Nayou said: "From the sky of love, go from the land of love. In the previous life, I was mistakenly deceived by love, but now I feel ashamed of love, and I have no interference with you." After finishing speaking, a gust of fragrant wind disappeared without a trace.Xianglian was vigilant, it seemed like a dream but not a dream, when she opened her eyes, there was a child from the Xue family, and it was not a new house, but a ruined temple, with a cross-legged Taoist priest sitting next to her to catch lice.Xianglian got up and asked Prime Minister Ji, "Where is this department? The name of the immortal master?" The Taoist laughed and said, "Even I don't know where this department is, and who I am, but I'm just here to rest for a while." Liu Xianglian listened , Unconsciously, it was as cold as ice penetrating into the bone, pulled out the heroic sword, wiped away all the troubles, and followed the Taoist priest, not knowing where to go.See you later____
