Dream of the Red Mansion

It is said that after Jia Lian got up to go, he was away on patrol in Ping An Jiedu, and he would not return for about a month.Jia Lian was not convinced, so he had to live in the lower place and wait.When we come back to meet each other and settle the matter, the return journey is already two months away.

Unexpectedly, Sister Feng had already made up her mind, and she only waited for Jia Lian to leave, and when she came back, she would tell all kinds of craftsmen to tidy up the three rooms in the east wing and decorate them just like her main room.On the [-]th, he went back to Mrs. Jia Muwang of Ming Dynasty and said that he would go to the Auntie Temple to offer incense in the morning of the [-]th.They only brought Ping'er, Feng'er, Zhou Rui's wife and Wang'er's wife, and told everyone the reason before getting into the car.He also ordered all the men, plain clothes and covers, to come all the way.

Xing'er led the way until he reached the second sister's door and knocked on it.Bao Er's opened.Xing'er said with a smile, "Go back to the second grandma, the eldest grandma is here." After hearing this sentence, the second Bao's family lost their true soul and rushed to report to the second sister You.Although the second sister You was also surprised, she had already arrived, so she had to meet each other with courtesy, so she hurriedly dressed to welcome her out.In front of the door, Sister Feng got out of the car and came in.Second Sister You saw that there were plain silverware on her head, a moon-white satin jacket, a blue satin cape, and a plain white silk skirt on her body.The eyebrows are curved with willow leaves, the two ends are hung high, the eyes are full of red phoenixes, and the eyes are fixed in a triangle.Pretty as a peach in three springs, clean as a chrysanthemum in nine autumns.Zhou Ruiwang's two women came into the hospital with them.The second sister You hurriedly came up to Wanfu with a smile, and opened her mouth to call: "My sister has descended and never met far away. I hope you will forgive the crime of haste."Sister Feng hurriedly laughed and returned the courtesy.The two entered the room hand in hand.

Sister Feng took the seat, and Second Sister You ordered the servant girl to bring the mat and salute, saying: "The slave family is young. From here, everything has been discussed by my mother and sister. It is my honor to meet you today. Sister's instructions and lessons. I also pour out my heart and soul, and only serve my sister." Saying that, he bowed down.Sister Feng hurriedly got down from her seat to return the courtesy, and said in her mouth: "It's all because of the view of the slave woman. I just persuaded my husband to be cautious. Don't sleep outside with flowers and willows, for fear of causing parents to worry. This is all your infatuation. What can I do?" The master mistakenly understands slavery. It is possible to hide the matter of sleeping flowers and willows from slaves. Today, the important event of marrying my sister's second wife is also a great gift, and I have never told my slaves. I also persuaded my second master to perform this ceremony early in order to prepare for the birth. I don't want two The master turned the slave into a jealous woman, and did this big thing privately, without telling him. It is difficult for the slave to sue for grievances, but heaven and earth can express it. Ten days ago, the slave had heard about it, and he was afraid that the second master would not be happy, so he Don’t dare to say it first. It’s just a coincidence that I’m traveling far away today, so my slave’s family visited me in person, and I begged my sister to lower her body to be slave-hearted, activate the big drive, and move to the house. You and my sister live together and advise the second master to be careful with world affairs. It is a great gift to take care of your body. If your elder sister is outside and your slave is inside, even if you are stupid and humble, how can you be a slave. Besides, it is not indecent to let outsiders know about it. The name of the second master is also important, but talking about the slave's family I am a slave, and I don’t complain. So the name of being a slave in this life is all on my sister. It’s normal to add or subtract some words behind my back. What kind of sister is she? How can I be trusted as a character? If there is something wrong with me, there are countless sisters and sisters-in-law among the three layers of parents-in-law, and the famous Jia family from generation to generation, how can I be allowed to be here today. Today, the second master married his sister privately, and others would not I am angry, but I think it is lucky. It is because the gods and Buddhas of heaven and earth could not bear me to be slandered by the little people, so this happened. Now I beg my sister to come in and live with me, share the same rules, serve my parents-in-law, and admonish my husband. If you are happy, you are happy, if you are sad, you are sad, love is like a sister, and you are like flesh and blood. Not only did the villain meet, but he regretted that he had misidentified me in the past. I also regret it secretly. So my sister is my great benefactor, and my former reputation has been completely wiped out. If my sister does not go with my slave, I am willing to accompany her here. I am willing to be a sister and help my sister comb her hair and wash my face every day. I just ask my sister to speak well and conveniently for me in front of the second master, and let me have a place to settle down, and I am willing to die as a slave." As he spoke, he began to sob and cry.Seeing this, Second Sister You couldn't help but shed tears.

The two met each other and sat down in order.Ping'er is busy and also comes up to be present.The second sister You saw that he was well dressed and behaved well, so she guessed it was Ping'er, so she quickly took hold of him and said, "Sister, please stop, you and I are the same person." Don't do it! Sister, just accept the gift, he was our girl. Don't be like this in the future." Then, he ordered Zhou's family to take out four colored ruler heads and four pairs of gold bead hairpin rings from the package as salutes.Second Sister You hurriedly accepted.The two had tea and told each other about the past.Sister Feng's mouth is full of self-blame and self-error, "I can't blame others, now I only ask my sister to love me" and other words.Seeing this, the second sister You thought he was an excellent person, and it was common sense for a villain to slander his master if he didn't want to, so she poured out her heart and narrated it once, and she actually regarded Sister Feng as her confidant.I also saw Zhou Rui and other daughters-in-law beside me praising Sister Feng's good governance in the past, but she was too stupid to suffer, which caused people to complain, and said, "the house has been prepared, and grandma will know when she goes in." Well, seeing this again today, is there any reason not to allow it, so he said, "I should have gone with my sister, but what about here?" Sister Feng said, "What's so difficult about it? My sister's cage is thin and soft, just let the boy move it." Go in. These clumsy bastards are useless to him, and they are even watched. Whoever my sister says is safe, let him be here."

The second sister You hurriedly said: "I met my sister today. When I go in, I will only take care of everything. I have not been here for a long time, and I have never been a family. I don't understand the world. How dare I make decisions. Take these boxes and cages. Forget it. I don't have anything, and it belongs to the second master." After hearing this, Sister Feng ordered Zhou Rui's family to remember it clearly, so that she could take care of it and carry it to the east wing.So he urged Second Sister You to put it on, and the two got into the car hand in hand, sat together again, and told him quietly: "Our family has strict rules. The old lady doesn't know about this. If you know that Second Master married you in a filial piety, Just beat him to death. Don't see the old lady now, ma'am. We have a huge garden where my sister lives, and no one will go there. You go and stay in the garden for two days, and I will find a way I understand, I'll see you then." Second Sister You said, "Let me judge." Those boys who followed the car had explained in advance that they don't go to the gate now, they only come to the back door.

Get out of the car and disperse the crowd.Sister Feng took Youshi into the back door of the Grand View Garden and met Li Wan.At that time, nine out of ten people in the Grand View Garden knew about it, but now I suddenly saw Sister Feng brought in, which attracted many people to come and ask.Second Sister You saw them one by one.Seeing his beauty and joy, everyone praised him.Sister Feng ordered everyone one by one: "You are not allowed to go out and let the wind go. If old ladies and wives know, I will call you to die first." What you do, you know that the relationship is very important, and you don't care about it.Sister Feng quietly begged Li Wan to adopt him for a few days, "When we get back, we will go there naturally." .Sister Feng made a new way to withdraw all his maids, and sent one of her own maids to him.He secretly told the daughters-in-law in the garden: "Good life, take care of him. If anyone gets lost and escapes, I will settle accounts with you." He went to act secretly again.All the family members wondered secretly: "Look how he is so virtuous." The second sister, you, got this place, and saw that the sisters in the garden were good to each other, but they felt at ease and got their own place.Unexpectedly, after three days, the girl Shanjie became somewhat disobedient.Second Sister Youyin said: "I'm out of hair oil, go to Grandma Echo and get some." Sister Shan then said, "Second Grandma, why don't you know what's good or bad? Our grandma has promised the old lady every day, and she has to promise again. Should be the wife on this side and the wife on the other side. These sisters-in-law and sisters, hundreds of men and women, wait for his words every day when they wake up. There are ten or twenty big things and thirty or fifty small things outside. Counting, how many people and courtesies are there in Prince Houbo's house, and there are these relatives and friends at home. There are thousands of dollars and tens of thousands of dollars, and they are all dispatched from his hand, heart, and mouth every day, and there is no need to bother him for such a trivial matter. I I advise you to do something. We are not married by the Ming Dynasty. This is one of the few virtuous people in his history who treats you like this. If people who are inferior hear this, they will make a noise and throw you out. They will die. , live or not, what do you dare to do!" After speaking, Youshi lowered his head, thinking that he had said this, so he had to make do with it.Gradually, that good sister was even afraid to bring him food, and she had an early meal or a late meal, and all the things she brought were leftovers.Second Sister You said it twice, but he started screaming.Second Sister You was also afraid that people would laugh at him for being restless, so she had to endure it.I saw Sister Feng every five or eight days, but Sister Feng was kind and pleasant, and she kept talking about her sister.He also said: "If there are places where servants can't reach, you can't surrender them, just tell me, and I will beat them." He scolded the girl and daughter-in-law and said, "I know you very well. The soft ones bully, the hard ones fear, and you turn your back on them." My eyes, who are I afraid of. If the second grandma tells me a word of no, I will kill you. Seeing his kindness, You Shi thought, "If you have him, why should I be troublesome.It's normal for servants not to know what's good or bad.If I sue, they will be wronged, and people will say that I am not virtuous. "So cover them instead.

On the one hand, Sister Feng asked Wang'er to inquire about details, and she already knew about the second sister You.It turns out that the son-in-law is only 19 years old now, and he spends his money on whoring and gambling all day long. His father kicked him out, and now he lives in a gambling factory.The son-in-law doesn't know that the father resigned after receiving ten taels of silver from You Po.It turned out that the young man was named Zhang Hua.Sister Feng knew the whole story one by one, so she sealed 20 taels of silver and Wang'er, quietly ordered him to hook Zhang Hua to support him, and asked him to write a certificate, just go to the Yamen of Yousi, and sue the second master of Lian "Guo In filial piety and family filial piety, one hides one's order from one's relatives, takes advantage of one's wealth and power, forces one to withdraw one's relatives, stops one's wife to remarry" and so on.Zhang Hua also knows the pros and cons, so he dare not make mistakes.Wang'er went back to Sister Feng, and Sister Feng scolded angrily: "Many dogs can't support the seeds on the wall. If you tell him in detail, it's okay to sue our family for treason. It's just to make trouble with him, and everyone will be ashamed. If you tell him It's too big, I can calm down here." Wanger took the order, so he had to talk to Zhang Hua in detail.Sister Feng told Wang'er again: "If he sues you, you can talk to him." So and so, and so and so, "I have my own reasons." Add yourself to the certificate, and say, "You only sue me for the payment, and you should instigate the second master to do it." Then Zhang Hua got an idea, discussed with Wang'er, wrote a paper certificate, and went to the capital the next day The procuratorate called for injustice.

The procuratorate sat in the hall to see the case, and saw that it was a matter of suing Jia Lian. There was Wang'er, a family member, so he had to send someone to Jia's mansion to spread Wang'er's counterpoint.Tsing Yi did not dare to trespass, but ordered someone to bring a letter.That Wang'er was waiting for this matter. He didn't need someone to bring a letter. He had been waiting on this street.Seeing Tsing Yi, he went up to meet him and said with a smile: "If you activate all the brothers, it must be a brother's crime. You can't say it, come and put it on." The Tsing Yis dared not, but said: "You get old, don't make trouble." So he came to the front of the hall and knelt down.The procuratorate ordered the petition to be seen with him.Wang'er looked at it intentionally, and met each other and said: "The little one knows all about it, and the little master really has this matter. But Zhang Huasu has a grudge against the little one, and deliberately involved the little one. There are others among them, please master Ask again." Zhang Hua met and said: "Although there are still people, the young one dare not sue him, so I only sue him as a servant." Wang'er said in a hurry, "you are stupid, don't tell me quickly! Come on, since I am the master, I have to say it." Zhang Hua then mentioned Jia Rong.The procuratorate couldn't hear it, so it had to pass on Jia Rong.Sister Feng sent Qing'er to inquire secretly again. When she sued, she hurriedly called Wang Xin and told him about it.It was Ye Wangxin who went to the private residence of the procuratorate and settled down.The procuratorate knew the whole story and took the stolen money.When I returned to the hall the next day, I only said that Zhang Hua was a rascal. Because he was in arrears with Jia's silver taels, he made up empty words and falsely accused his beloved.The Metropolitan Procuratorate was always on good terms with Wang Ziteng, and Wang Xin only said something when he got home. Besides, he was a member of Jia's family, who was so eager to get things done, so he didn't mention it, and accepted them all, and only passed on Jia Rong's words.

Let's say that Jia Rong and others were busy with Jia Zhen's affairs, when someone came to report that someone told you so and so, so and so, and make sense quickly.Jia Rong panicked and hurried back and forth to Jia Zhen.Jia Zhen said, "I was on guard against this move, thanks to his boldness." Immediately, two hundred silver was sealed off, and people went to the procuratorate, and ordered their family members to speak to each other.During the discussion, someone reported: "The second grandma of Xifu is here." Jia Zhen was surprised when she heard this, and hurriedly wanted to hide with Jia Rong.I didn't want Sister Feng to come in, and said, "What a big brother, you have done a good job with the brothers!" Jia Rong hurriedly greeted him, and Sister Feng pulled him in.Jia Zhen also laughed and said, "It's good to serve your girl, and tell them to kill animals and prepare food." After saying that, she hurriedly prepared horses and hid elsewhere.

Here, Sister Feng came to the room with Jia Rong, and You Shi was welcoming her out. Seeing Sister Feng's complexion, she hurriedly smiled and said, "What are you waiting for?" Sister Feng spat on her face and said, "Your girl from You family No one wants it anymore, just send it to Jia's house secretly! Could it be that the people in Jia's family are all good, men are dead in the world! You are willing to give it, and you need three media and six certificates. Yes. Your phlegm is obsessed, your body is covered with fat, and you have both national filial piety and family filial piety, so you sent someone here. Now people sue us, and I am a crab with no feet. Even the official circles know me You are jealous, and now you name me and want to divorce me. I came to your house, what did I do wrong, are you trying to harm me? Or old lady, the wife has something in your heart, making you fall into this trap, want to Squeeze me out. Now the two of us are going to see the official together, and we will share our confession. When we come back, our father-in-law invited people from the same clan, and we all explain it face-to-face. Give me the letter of divorce, and I will walk." Said while talking loudly Cry, pull You Shi, just go to see the official.Anxious Jia Rong knelt down to meet each other on the ground, and only begged "Girl and aunt to calm down." Sister Feng scolded Jia Rong again: "Heavenly thunder splits the brains of five ghosts and dismembers the seeds of conscience! I don't know how high the sky is and how thick the ground is." Every day, the family mobilizes three nests and four, doing these shameless and dishonorable livelihoods. Your dead mother Yinling won't allow you, nor will your ancestors, how dare you come to persuade me!" Weeping and cursing, raising his hands just hit.Jia Rong hurriedly kowtowed and said: "Auntie, don't be angry, be careful, let me beat myself. Auntie, don't be angry." Then, she raised her hand and slapped herself, and then asked herself: "In the future, can I beat you?" Are you just meddling in your own business again? Will you only listen to your uncle and not your aunt in the future?" Everyone tried to persuade them, wanted to laugh, but didn't dare to laugh.

Sister Feng rolled into Youshi's arms, howling and crying loudly, and said, "I don't mind marrying your brother. Why did you make him break his marriage against the order and give me his bastard name? Let's I only went to meet the officials, so as not to arrest Zao Li. Besides, we only went to see the old lady, the wife and the people of the clan. Everyone discussed it. I am not virtuous, and I will not allow my husband to marry and buy concubines. I only give me a letter of divorce. , I will leave immediately. Your sister, I will personally pick up the house. I am afraid that the old lady will be angry, so I dare not go back. Now I live in the garden for three teas and six meals. I am rushing to clean up the house, the same The truth with me, just wait for the old lady to know. It was originally said that everyone will take over and keep their own lives, so I will not mention the old things. Who knows that there is someone else. I don’t know what you are doing. I don’t know at all. Now sue Me, I was in a hurry yesterday, even if I went out to meet the officials, I would lose the face of your Jia family, and I had to steal my wife's 500 taels of silver. Now I'm still locked there." Said and cried, Weeping and cursing, and then weeping loudly about my ancestors and parents, I wanted to kill myself again.Knead Youshi into a dough, tears and snot all over the clothes, no other words, just scolding Jia Rong: "The evil seed! What a good thing you did with your father! I can't say it is bad." Sister Feng heard, Weeping, he moved Youshi's face with both hands and asked: "Are you fainted? Is there an eggplant stuffed in your mouth? Otherwise, they gave you a chew? Why didn't you tell me? If you told me I, can't this meeting be safe? How can the government move the government and make troubles in this field, and you still blame them. It has been said since ancient times: A good wife and husband have fewer disasters, and the appearance is not as strong as the inside. You are always a good one. How could they make such a fuss! You have no talent, no eloquence, and if you saw a gourd with a mouth, you will only blindly seek the name of a virtuous person. They are not afraid of you, nor listen to you." He spat a few mouthfuls.You Shi also cried: "Why was it not like this. You don't believe in asking people, why didn't I persuade them, and they have to listen. What do you want me to do? I can't blame my sister for being angry, so I just listen." Concubine Ji The maid's daughter-in-law knelt down on the ground, and she begged with a smile: "The second grandma is the most holy. Although it is our grandma's fault, grandma has done enough. In front of slaves, grandma is always so good. Come on, now I still beg grandma to save face." Saying this, she brought tea.Sister Feng also fell, and while she stopped crying and pulling her hair, she cried and scolded Jia Rong: "Go out and invite the eldest brother. I asked him face to face, my uncle's filial piety is only five or seven, and my nephew is married. I don't know this ceremony. I Ask, so I can learn how to teach my nephews in the future." Jia Rong only knelt and kowtowed, and said, "This matter has nothing to do with the parents. It was the son who ate shit for a while and instigated the uncle to do it. My father didn't know either. Now my father is discussing to take the grandfather to the funeral. If my aunt makes a fuss, my son will die. I only ask my aunt to punish my son, and my son will accept it. I also ask my aunt to take care of this lawsuit, but my son can't do such a big thing. What kind of person is my aunt Don't you know what the saying goes. Arms are only folded in the sleeves. The son is so confused, and since he has done something unscrupulous, he is like a cat or dog. After the aunt teaches, she is not as knowledgeable as the son, so she must ask the aunt It's better to take pains and effort to suppress the outside. It turns out that my aunt has this unscrupulous son. After getting into trouble, she must be wronged and love her son." As he said, he kowtowed again and again.

Seeing his mother and son like this, Sister Feng couldn't move forward any more, so she had to turn her descriptive speech again, and said back to Youshi, "I'm a young and ignorant person. As soon as I hear someone tell me, tell me I was so frightened that I didn't know how I offended my sister-in-law just now. But Rong'er said it. I folded my arm and hid it in my sleeve. My sister-in-law must be considerate of me. I have to tell my sister-in-law to speak for my brother, so that the lawsuit can be pushed down first. Youshi Jiarong said together: "Don't worry, auntie, I won't bother uncle at all. My aunt just said that I spent 500 taels of silver. It is necessary for my daughter to send 500 taels of silver to my aunt so that I can make up for it. Otherwise, how could there be any trouble?" The anti-teaching aunt added the name of being short-lived, which makes us more damned. But there is one more thing, old lady, ladies should be considerate and convenient with the former aunt, so it’s better not to mention these things." Sister Feng sneered again: "You guys are oppressing me The boss did something, and now I am coaxing me to take care of you. Although I am an idiot, I can't stay like this. My sister-in-law's brother is my husband. Since my sister-in-law is afraid of him dying, I am more afraid than my sister-in-law. Unrepeatable. My sister-in-law’s younger sister is just like my younger sister. When I heard this, I couldn’t even sleep because I liked it all night. Said: Grandma is very sexual. If it is our idea, go back to the old lady first, and the lady will see how it is, and it will not be too late to pick up the house after I heard this. Speech. Unexpectedly, they didn’t agree with me, but slapped me on the mouth, and another Zhang Hua ran out of the air to complain. I heard it, and I was so scared that I didn’t close my eyes for two nights. I didn’t dare to speak up, so I had to ask someone to inquire. Who is Zhang Hua, so bold? After asking for two days, who knows that he is a rogue Huazi. I was young and ignorant, so I smiled and said: What did he sue? But the boys said: It was the second grandma who agreed. His. He is in a hurry now. Death from freezing and starving is also death. Now he has this reason. The matter turned out to be too hasty. There is one level of crime for national filial piety, one level of family filial piety, one level of crime for marrying behind one’s parents’ backs, and another level of crime for stopping one’s wife. As the saying goes.” Dare to drag the emperor to pieces. dismount. "He is a poor and crazy person, and he can't do anything. Besides, he is full of reason. If you don't tell me, you can't do it. My sister-in-law said, I am a Han Xin Zhang Liang. After hearing this, I also scared Zhimou back." .Your brother is not at home, and there is no negotiation, so you have to use money to make up for it. Who knows that the more money is used, the more people hold the knife and target, and the more it is. I have sores on the tail of a rat, ____ how much pus and blood So anxious and angry, I have to come to my sister-in-law." Before Jia's family and Jia Rong finished speaking, they all said, "Don't worry, I will take care of it naturally." Jia Rong said again: "That Zhang Hua is just poor, so He gave up his life to sue. Now we figured out a way to allow him some money, just to make him answer the crime of false accusation, and we settled the lawsuit for him. When he comes out, give him some more money and it's over. .”

Sister Feng said with a smile: "good boy, I can't blame you for doing these things without hesitation. You are so confused. If you say that, he will agree to it for the time being, and get money from the lawsuit. It's natural for you to do it now." These people are rascals. Once they run out of money, they will find trouble to blackmail them. If this matter comes up again, we are not afraid, but we will be worried. We can’t let him say that there is nothing wrong with him, so why give him the money instead? In the end, it will be a dead end." Jia Rong was originally a sensible person, and when he heard this, he smiled and said: "I have another idea. It's up to me to come to right and wrong, and go to right and wrong. Now I'm I went to ask Zhang Hua for an idea, whether he wants someone, or he is willing to get money to marry after he settles down. If he says he must, I have to persuade my second aunt to tell him to come out and marry him. If you want money, we have to give it to him here." Sister Feng hurriedly said: "Even so, I am absolutely reluctant to let your aunt go out, and I will never let him go. Good nephew, if you love me, you can only do more. Give him the money." Jia Rong knew that despite what Sister Feng said, she wished that he would be a virtuous person only if she came out by herself.What to say now.Sister Feng was overjoyed, and said: "It's good outside, how is it going to be at home? You also go back to Mingcai with me." Youshi panicked again, and asked Sister Feng for advice on how to lie.

Sister Feng sneered and said: "Since you don't have the ability, who told you to do this. Now I have such an accent, and I don't like it. If I don't come up with an idea, I am a kind-hearted and soft-hearted person. People tease me, I am still infatuated. I can’t say that I should respond. Now you just don’t show up, I just took your sister to kowtow to the old lady and the ladies, just say it’s your sister, I like it very well Because I don’t grow up very much, I originally said to buy two people to put in the house. Now that your sister is very good, and she is a relative, I am willing to marry and be the second wife. Because my parents and sisters recently divorced After death, the life is difficult and cannot survive. If you wait for a hundred days, you will be homeless and jobless. It is really hard to wait. My idea came in. I have packed up the wing room and lived there temporarily. I will consummate the house when it is full. Relying on my face that is not ashamed, I will die and die, and I will not be able to find you if I am not. You mother and son think about it, can you do it?" Youshi Jiarong laughed together and said: "Auntie is generous and resourceful after all. Wait It's all over, we girls will come and pay our respects." Youshi hurriedly ordered the maids to help Sister Feng dress up and wash her face, set up wine and rice, and hand out the wine and pick the vegetables.

Sister Feng didn't sit down any longer, so she insisted on leaving.Into the garden, I told the matter to Second Sister You, and said how I was so worried about inquiring about it, and how I tried to find a way, so I had to do this to save everyone from guilt.I don't know how to look at it carefully, let's listen to the next chapter to break it down.
