Dream of the Red Mansion

But after Feng Ziying went, Jia Zheng asked the doorman to come and say, "I'm here to buy wine at Lin'anbo today. Do you know what's going on?" There was a troupe of young actors in the palace, and they all said it was a famous troupe. Uncle was very happy. He sang the opera for two days and invited his friends to watch it. It was lively and lively. There is probably no need to give gifts." Then, Jia She came over and asked: "Tomorrow Will the second master go?" Jia Zheng said, "it's because of his affection, why can't we go?" Then he came in from the door and replied, "the secretary office in the yamen is here to invite the master to go to the yamen tomorrow. If there is something important to do, he will definitely get it." Go earlier." Jia Zheng said, "Understood." As he spoke, he saw two family members who were in charge of renting the land in the village, greeted him, kowtowed, and stood beside him.Jia Zheng said, "Are you from Haojiazhuang?" The two agreed.Jia Zheng didn't ask any further questions, but he and Jia Amnesty talked to each other and broke up.The family waited to send Jia Amnesty with lanterns.

Here Jia Lian called the person in charge of renting: "Tell me about you." The man said: "The servants of the tenants in October have already caught up, and they can arrive tomorrow. Who knows to take the car outside Beijing and put it in the car." The servants told him that it was a rent-collecting car in the mansion, not a business car. He didn't care about it. The servant told the coachman to just pull it away, and the servants beat the coachman up. Took two cars and went there. The slave came to report first, please send someone to the yamen to ask for it. Besides, it would be better to punish these lawless servants. I don’t know yet, it’s even more pitiful It was the trading cart, which ignored all the merchants' belongings, and drove off after being thrown off. But the drivers just said a word, and their heads were bleeding." Jia Lian heard this, and scolded: "It's worth it!" Immediately wrote a post and called the family: "Take it and ask for the car from the yamen where the car is taken, and put something in the car. If there is one thing missing, I will not obey. Call Zhou Rui quickly." Zhou Rui is not at home.Also called Wang'er, Wang'er went out at noon and hasn't come back yet.Jia Lian said: "None of these forgetful kids are at home! They eat food at home all the year round and don't care about anything." Because he told the boys: "Find it for me quickly." Then he went back to his room to sleep.do not mention.

Let's say that Lin'an Bo sent someone to invite him the next day.Jia Zheng told Jia She, "I have something to do in the yamen. Lian'er has to wait at home to get the car, so I can't go. It's just a day when the old man takes Baoyu to socialize." Jia She nodded and said, "Yes." The government sent someone to call Baoyu and said, "I'm going to Lin'an Bo to listen to an opera with my uncle today." Baoyu liked it so much that he changed his clothes, brought baked tea, sweeping red, and hoeing medicine. Three boys came out and met Jia. Forgiveness, I greeted Ann, got in the car, and came to Lin'anbo's mansion.The man at the door went back in, and came out after a while and said, "Please, sir." So Jia Amnesty took Baoyu into the courtyard, only to see the noisy guests.Jia She Baoyu met Lin'an Bo and all the guests.Everyone sat and laughed for a while.I saw a class leader holding a play list and a tooth wat. He hit a thousand children upwards and said, "I beg you, masters, to enjoy the play." out.When the man turned around and saw Baoyu, he didn't go anywhere else, but rushed up to beat a thousand sons and said, "I beg you to give me two." The lotus comes out of the water, fluttering like a jade tree facing the wind.It turned out to be none other than Jiang Yuhan.The day before yesterday, I heard that he brought Xiaoxier to Beijing, but he didn't go to his place.Seeing you at this time, it was hard to stand up, so I had to smile and say, "How soon did you come?" Jiang Yuhan pointed his hand on his body and said with a smile, "Why doesn't the second master know?" It was also difficult to speak, so I had to click out randomly.When Jiang Yuhan went, several people commented: "Who is this person?" Some said: "He has always sung Xiaodan, but now he refuses to sing Xiaodan, and he is getting old, so he is in charge of the class in the house. He also changed his niche in the head. He also saved a lot of money, and there are two or three shops at home, but he refuses to let go of his job, and he is the former foreman." Some said: "I must have become a family." Some said: "The marriage has not yet been decided. He has made up his mind, saying that the relationship between spouses is a life-long matter. It is not a mess. No matter how high or low, he must be worthy of his talents. So he has not married yet. Baoyu thought to himself, "I don't know whose family's girl will marry him in the future. If you want to marry such a talent, you can be regarded as living up to it." At that time, there were operas, Kun opera, Gao opera, and Yi opera and bangzi opera. , doing lively.

After noon, they opened the table to eat wine.After watching it again, Jia Amnesty wanted to get up.Bo Lin'an came over and said, "It's still early, and I heard that Jiang Yuhan has another play, which is their best first show."So Jia Amnesty sat down for a while.Sure enough, Jiang Yuhan pretended to be a small official of Qin and served the oiran after she was drunk.In the future, we will drink and sing together, lingering and lingering.At this time, Baoyu didn't look at Hua Kui, but only shot his eyes on Qin Xiaoguan.What's more, Jiang Yuhan's voice is loud and clear, and Baoyu's spirit is sung in.After this play came into play, I realized that Jiang Yuhan was extremely affectionate and could not be compared with ordinary actors.Because I think about what lt;lt; Music Notes gt; gt; said above is "emotion moves in the middle, so the shape is in the sound. The sound is written and called the sound." Therefore, knowing the sound, knowing the sound, and knowing the music, there are many things to pay attention to.The origin of sound must be observed.Poetry is one piece, but it can convey emotion, but not penetrate into the bone. Later, I want to pay attention to rhythm.Baoyu was out of his mind, and suddenly saw Jia Amnesty getting up, and the master was too late to stay with him.Baoyu had no choice but to follow back.At home, Jia Amnesty went back there, and Baoyu came to see Jia Zheng.

Jia Zhengcai went down to the yamen and was asking Jia Lian about getting the car.Jia Lian said: "Today, the doorman is going to take the post, and the county magistrate is not at home. He said on the door: This is something I don't know, and I don't have a ticket to go out to get the car. Those bastards are running wild outside and making false claims." Head. Since it is from the master's mansion, I will immediately ask someone to pursue it, and promise to deliver the car and things together tomorrow. If there is any delay, I will report it to the official and severely punish it. The official is not at home at the moment I beg the master to see through it better. It would be better to know without the official." Jia Zheng said: "There is no official ticket, what kind of people are there to make trouble?" Jia Lian said: "I don't know, it's like this outside. I want to come tomorrow. It will be delivered." After Jia Lian finished speaking, Baoyu went up to meet him.After Jia Zheng asked a few words, he told him to go to the old lady.

Because Jia Lian called his family empty last night, he came out to summon him. There were so many people there that he had already served him.Jia Lian scolded for a while, and asked Lai Sheng, the chief housekeeper, "Bring the rosters of each branch, and you go and check them. Write an imperial note and let those people know: If you have not asked for leave, go out privately, Those who can’t be summoned and delay the official business should be called out immediately!" Lai Sheng quickly agreed a few "yes" and came out to give orders.The family pays attention to each other.

After a while, I suddenly saw a man with a felt hat on his head, a blue cloth dress on his body, and a pair of sandals on his feet. He came to the door and bowed to everyone.Everyone forgives him with their eyes up and down, and then asks him where he is from.The man said: "I came from Zhen's residence in the south. There is also a handwritten letter from a master, begging the gentlemen here to present you as a master." When they heard that he was from Zhen's residence, they stood up and asked him to sit down and said, "You If you are tired, just sit down and we will return it to you." On the other side of the door came in and returned to Ming Jiazheng, presenting a book.When Jia Zheng opened the book to read, it read:

The family has long been good friends, and the friendship is Sudun.Looking up at the curtain from a distance, I can't help but depend on it.My younger brother was condemned because of his poor talent, and he deserved to die. Fortunately, he invited forgiveness and treated the corner of the crime. So far, the family has withered and the family has been scattered.All the slaves, Bao Yong, have used Xiang Zeng, although they have no miraculous skills, they are still solid.If you are prepared to run around and earn money in life, the love of Wu Wu has no limit to your admiration.Dedicated to this, I will talk about it again.Unannounced.After reading it, Jia Zheng said with a smile, "Because there are so many people here, it's not easy for the Zhen family to recommend people." He ordered the door: "Tell him to see me. Let him stay here. It's easy to use according to his aptitude." Go out through the door and bring people in.Seeing Jia Zheng, he kowtowed three times, got up and said, "My master, please be well." He called again and said, "Bao Yong, please be well, master." Take a look.But Bao Yong was five feet long, with broad shoulders and fat shoulders, thick eyebrows, protruding eyes, a bearded forehead and a thick black complexion, standing with his hands hanging down.Then he asked, "Have you always lived in Zhen's house, or have you lived in it for a few years?" Bao Yong said, "I always live in Zhen's house." Jia Zheng said, "Why do you come out now?" Bao Yong said "The little one refused to come out. It's just that the master kept calling the little one out, saying that you wouldn't go anywhere else. Here, the master's house is just as if the original was in his own home, so the little one came." Jia Zheng said: " Your master shouldn't have such a thing and get such a field." Bao Yong said: "I dare not say it, but our master is just too kind, blindly treating people with sincerity, but causing trouble." Jia Zheng said: "Sincerely It's the best."

Bao Yong said: "Because it's too real, everyone doesn't like it, and there are people who are annoying." Jia Zheng smiled and said: "Since this is the case, the emperor will not let him down." When Bao Yong wanted to say, Jia Zheng asked again, "I heard that your elder brother is also called Baoyu?" Bao Yong said, "Yes." Jia Zheng said, "Is he still willing to flatter you?" Our brother, it’s a strange thing. My brother’s temper is just like my master’s, and he’s blindly honest. Since he was a child, he just kept being stubborn with those sisters, and the master and wife beat him several times, but he just didn’t change. When my wife came to Beijing that year, my elder brother was seriously ill and had been dead for half a day. My master was almost dying of sudden death, and he prepared all the packing. Fortunately, he recovered later, he said, walked to a archway, and met A girl led him to a temple, where he saw many cabinets and books inside. He went to the house again, and saw countless women, who said that they had changed into ghosts and skeletons. He was frightened. Then he started to cry. The master knew that he had woken up, so he quickly treated him, and gradually recovered. The master still told him to hang out with his sisters, but he changed his temper. No more, the only thing to do is to study. If anyone comes to lure him, he won't be tempted. Now, gradually, he can help the master with some housework." Jia Zheng thought for a while, then said: "Go and have a rest. Go ahead. When you are needed here, I will naturally send you a trip." Bao Yong agreed to retreat and followed the people here to rest.do not mention.

One day when Jia Zheng got up early and was about to go to the Yamen, he saw the people at the door whispering to each other, as if they wanted to let Jia Zheng know, but they couldn't answer clearly, so they just murmured.Jia Zheng called up and asked, "What's the matter with you, so sneaky?" The man on the door replied, "Slaves dare not say it." Jia Zheng said, "Is there anything you dare not say?" The humane said: "I got up today and opened the door to go out. I saw a piece of white paper pasted on the door, with many insignificant words written on it." Jia Zheng said: "There is such a thing there, what is it written on?" The humane said: "It's the dirty words in Shuiyue nunnery." Jia Zheng said: "Show me." The humane on the door said: "The slave was going to take it off, but who knew that it was so strong that he couldn't take it off, so he had to copy it all at the same time." While washing. Just now Li De revealed a piece of paper for the servants to see, it is the words posted on the door. The servants dare not hide it." He said and presented the paper.When Jia Zheng took a look at it, it read:

Xibei Caojin is young, and he is in charge of nuns in Shuiyue nunnery.

How many girls are there in a man? It's love to nest with prostitutes and gather to gamble.

The unfilial sons came to work, and news broke out in the Rongguo Mansion.When Jia Zheng saw it, he was so angry that he became dizzy and dizzy. He hurriedly told the person at the door to keep silent, and quietly asked people to look for it on the wall of the narrow passage near Ningrong and Rongfu.Then he asked someone to call Jia Lian out.

Jia Lian arrived immediately.Jia Zheng hurriedly asked, "Have you ever investigated the nuns who live in Shuiyue nunnery?" Jia Lian said, "No. Qin'er has always been there to take care of them." Jia Zheng said, "You know Can you take care of Qin'er?" Jia Lian said, "Since the master said so, there must be something wrong with Qin'er." Jia Zheng sighed, "Look at what this post says." Jia Lian When he saw it, he said, "Is there such a thing?" Just as he was talking, he saw Jia Rong coming, holding a book with the words "Second master's secret letter".When I opened it to look, there was also a headless list, which was the same as what was posted on the door.Jia Zhengdao: "Quickly ask Lai Da to take three or four cars to Shuiyue Nunnery, and bring back all the nuns and Taoist priests. Don't let it out, just call it inside." Lai Da took the order and went.

It is said that when the young nuns and Taoist priests of Shuiyue nunnery first arrived in the nunnery, the monks and Taoist priests were originally under the care of the old nuns, who taught them some scriptures and repentance during the day.In the future, the concubine Yuan will not use it, so she will be too lazy to study.Those girls are getting older, and they all have a sense of it.What's more, Jia Qin is also a romantic figure. She looked at Fang Guan and other monks for their childlike nature, so she went to provoke them.But Fang Guan was really sincere and couldn't get started, so he transferred his heart to the nun and Taoist priest.Because one of the little monks named Qinxiang and one of the female Taoist priests named Hexian were both very enchanting, Jia Qin hooked up with these two people.In my spare time, I learn some silk strings and sing a song.At that time, it was the middle of October, when Jia Qin received the monthly money for those people in the nunnery, she thought of the method and told everyone: "I can't go to the city to get the monthly money for you, so I have to rest here. It's so cold. How about it? I'll bring some fruit wine today, and everyone will have fun all night, okay?" The girls were all happy, so they set up the table, and even the nuns of the nunnery were called, but Fang Guan didn't come.After Jia Qin drank a few cups, he said that he wanted to give orders.Qin Xiang and the others said: "None of us know how to do it. Why don't we use the knuckles? Wouldn't it be refreshing for anyone who loses to have a drink?" The nun in this nun said: "It's just past noon today, and it's not like you're talking and drinking. Let's drink a few cups first, those who like to disperse go away first, whoever likes to accompany Uncle Qin, I don't care if I come back to drink at night." Just as I was talking, I saw Dao Po hurried in and said: "Let's go soon, Uncle Lai from the mansion is here." All the nuns frantically tidied up and asked Jia Qin to avoid it.Because Jia Qin drank a few more glasses, he said, "I'm here to send monthly money. What are you afraid of?"The reason is that Jia Zheng ordered not to say anything, so he had to pretend to smile vaguely: "Is Master Qin here too?" Jia Qin stood up quickly and said, "Master Lai, what are you doing here?" It's better. Quickly ask the novice priest to pack up the car and go to the city, and the palace will pass it on." Jia Qin and others didn't know the reason, but asked carefully.Lai Da said: "It's getting late, so hurry up and get into the city." All the girls had to get into the car together, and Lai Da rode a big walking mule and rushed into the city.No problem.

But when Jia Zheng knew about it, he was so angry that he couldn't even go to the Yamen, and sat alone in the inner study and sighed.Jia Lian didn't dare to go away either.Suddenly the man on the door came in and said, "Master Zhang is on shift tonight in the yamen. Because Master Zhang is ill, I will ask him to make up the shift if I know." Jia Zheng was waiting for Lai Da to come back to take care of Jia Qin. I want to go to class again, I feel puzzled, and I don't speak.Jia Lian went up and said, "Lai Da went out after dinner. Shuiyue Nunnery is twenty miles away from the city, and it will take two more days to rush into the city. Today is the master's helper, please just go. Lai Da is here." Now, tell him to keep it in custody, and keep quiet until Master Ming'er comes back. If Qin'er comes, you don't need to explain, let's see what he says when he sees Master tomorrow." Jia Zheng sounded reasonable, so he had to go to work up.

Jia Lian went back to her room when she had time. As she walked, she complained about Sister Feng's idea in her heart. She wanted to complain, but because he was ill, she had to endure it and walked slowly.Let's say that one of the servants passed ten to the inside.First, Ping'er knew about it, so she hurriedly told Sister Feng.Because of the bad night, Sister Feng was always lethargic, and she was thinking about the Iron Kan Temple.Hearing that an anonymous post was posted outside, I was taken aback and asked what it was.Ping'er agreed casually, but said by mistake without paying attention: "It doesn't matter, it's about the Mantou An." In a hurry to attack, he felt dizzy before his eyes, coughed for a while, and spit out a mouthful of blood with a wow sound.Ping'er panicked and said, "Shuiyue nunnery is just about female novice monks and Taoist priests. What's the rush, grandma?" When Sister Feng heard that it was Shuiyue nunnery, she regained her composure and said, "Bah, stupid thing, is it really water?" What about Moon Temple, is it Mantou Temple?" Ping'er laughed and said, "I misheard that it was Mantou Temple, but later I heard it wasn't Mantou Temple, it was Shuiyue Temple. I just slipped my tongue and said it was Mantou Temple Sister Feng said: "I knew it was Shuiyue nunnery. What does that mantou nunnery have to do with me? It turned out that this water moon nunnery was managed by my name Qin'er, and the monthly payment was deducted." Ping'er said: "I It doesn't sound like monthly money, and there are some swear words." Sister Feng said, "I don't care about that. Where is your second master?" Ping'er said, "Hearing that the master is angry, he dare not go away. I heard Things are not good, I told these people not to make noise, I don't know if the wives know. But I heard that the master told Lai Dan to take these girls. Let someone go ahead and inquire. Grandma is sick now, so I should leave them alone My business." Just as he was talking, Jia Lian came in.Sister Feng wanted to ask him, but seeing Jia Lian's angry face, she pretended not to know for the time being.Before Jia Lian had finished his meal, Wang'er said, "I'm inviting you outside. Lai Da is back." Jia Lian said, "Has Qin'er come?" Wang'er said, "He's here, too." Jia Lian then said, "Go Tell Lai Da that the master has gone to work. Keep these girls in the garden for the time being, and send them to the palace tomorrow when the master comes back. Just ask Qin'er to wait for me in the study." Wang'er went.

Jia Qin walked into the study, only to see those servants pointing, not knowing what to say.Looking at it this way, it doesn't look like a dignitary in the palace.I wanted to ask someone, but I couldn't.Just as I was wondering, I saw Jia Lian coming out.Jia Qin invited Ann, stood there with his hands down, and said, "I don't know what those children in the empress's palace are going to tell my nephew to catch up. Fortunately, my nephew has not left to send the monthly money today, so he goes with Lai Da Here it comes. My second uncle knows about it." Jia Lian said, "What do I know! You understand it." Jia Qin couldn't figure it out, and didn't dare to ask again.

Jia Lian said, "You did a good job, and you made the master very angry." Jia Qin said, "My nephew didn't do anything. The monthly money in the nunnery is given every month, and the children will never forget it after confession." Jia Lian saw him I don't know, and he is always joking around, so he sighed and said, "Go and see the slapstick things!" Then he took out the post from the inside of the boot tuck and threw it to him to see.Jia Qin picked it up and took a look. His face was ashen with fear, and he said, "Who did this! I didn't offend anyone, why are you cheating me so much! I send money there once a month, and I only go once a month. There is no such thing. If the master When I came back and called to ask me, my nephew died. My mother knew, and she wanted to beat me to death." Then, seeing no one was around, she knelt down and said, "Good uncle, save me!" , Just kowtow, full of tears.Jia Lian thought: "The master is most annoyed by these things. If you ask about these things, you will be very angry. It's not good to make a scene. It will grow the ambition of the person who posted the post. We will have a lot of things in the future. Why don't you discuss it with Lai Da while the master is at work, if you get away with it, you'll be fine. There's no proof now." After making up his mind, he said, "Don't lie to me, what you did is sneaky, If you excuse me, I don't even know. If you want to finish the matter, the master will ask you, and you should insist that you don't have it. You have no face, get up!" Ask someone to call Lai Da.Not long after, Lai Da came.Jia Lian discussed with him.Lai Da said: "Uncle Qin is not making trouble at all. When the servants arrived in the nunnery today, they were drinking there. There must be something in the post."

Jia Lian said, "Listen, Qin'er. Lai Da still depends on you." Jia Qin blushed at this time and dared not say a word.It was still Jia Lian who took Lai Da and begged him: "Protect me, protect me, just say that Brother Qin found it at home. You took him there, but just said you didn't see me. You don't have to ask those girls if you beg the master tomorrow." Well, I called a matchmaker, took it away and sold it. As expected, we will buy it again when the lady wants it again." Lai Da wanted to come, but it was useless to make trouble, and he had a bad reputation, so he agreed.Jia Lian called Jia Qin: "Follow Uncle Lai and listen to him teach you. Just follow him." After that, Jia Qin kowtowed again and followed Lai Da out.When he got to a place where no one was there, he kowtowed to Lai Da again.Lai Da said: "My young master, you are too noisy. I don't know who offended you and made this mess. Just think about who is wrong with you." Jia Qin thought for a while, and suddenly remembered a person Come.I don't know who it is, I will break it down next time.
