Dream of the Red Mansion

It is said that Jia Lian took the fake jade and went out angrily to the study.Seeing Jia Lian's complexion, the man felt guilty and stood up to meet him.Just as he was about to speak, Jia Lian sneered and said, "So bold, I'll call you a bastard! What kind of place is this? How dare you come here!" Turning around, he asked, "Where are the boys?" There was a thunderous thunder outside. Several servants agreed in unison.Jia Lian said: "Take the rope and tie him up. When the master comes back and asks, send him to the yamen." All the boys agreed together, "We're getting ready." Although they said so, they didn't move.The man was at a loss for what to do. Seeing such a powerful person, he knew that justice was inevitable, so he knelt down to meet Jia Lian, and kept saying, "Don't be angry, old man. It was because of my desperation that I came up with this shameless business." I borrowed money to make that jade, so I don't dare to take it anymore, so I have to honor my elder brother Nian in the mansion." After finishing speaking, he kowtowed again and again.Jia Lian spat: "You don't know how to live or die! This mansion rarely cares about your imperishable bastard!" Just as they were arguing, Lai Da came in and said to Jia Lian with a smile, "Second Master, don't be angry. What is it to depend on him, let him go and let him go." Jia Lian said, "It's really hateful." Lai Da Jia Lian did good and evil, and everyone said outside, "If you are a fool, don't give it to me. Kowtow to Uncle Lai. Get out of here quickly, I’m still waiting for you!" The man hastily kowtowed twice, and ran away with his head in his arms.Since then, there has been a commotion in the street that "Jia Baoyu made it. Fake Baoyu".

In addition, when Jia Zheng came back from visiting guests that day, everyone was afraid that Jia Zheng would be angry because it was under the Lantern Festival.It's just because the concubine Yuan has been busy for a long time, and Baoyu has been ill again recently. Although there is an old family banquet, everyone is not happy, and there is nothing to remember.On the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, Mrs. Wang was expecting the prince to come to Beijing. Sister Feng came in and said, "Today, the second master heard a rumor that our elder is rushing to Beijing. It is only more than 200 miles away from the city. No more. Did Madam hear it?" Mrs. Wang was surprised and said: "I didn't hear it, and the master didn't mention it last night. Where did you hear it?" Sister Feng said: "It is said that I heard it at the house of Master Zhang, the privy secretary." Wang Madam was stunned for a long time, the tears had already flowed down, because she wiped away her tears and said, "When you come back, ask Lian'er to find out and tell me." Sister Feng agreed to go.Mrs. Wang couldn't help crying in secret, grieving for her daughter and brother, and worried about Baoyu.It's not random to do it one after another like this, and if you can put it there, you will feel a little pain in your heart.Jia Lian made some inquiries and said, "Uncle and grandpa were tired from traveling and caught a cold by accident. When they arrived in Shilitun, they were sent to the doctor for treatment. But there is no famous doctor in this place. They misused the medicine and died after one dose. But I don't know the family members. But have you been there?" Mrs. Wang felt sad for a while when she heard this, and she couldn't sit still because of the pain in her heart. She asked Caiyun and others to help her on the kang, and struggled to ask Jia Lian to go back to Jia Zheng. "Pack up your luggage and go there immediately. , help with the cooking, come back and tell us immediately. So that your wife can rest assured." Jia Lian didn't dare to disobey, so he had to resign Jia Zheng and get up.Jia Zheng has known for a long time that his heart is very uncomfortable, and he also knows that after Baoyu loses jade, he will lose his mind and medicine will not work, which is worthy of Mrs. Wang's distress.That year was in Beijing, and the Ministry of Industry ranked Jia Zhengbao first.In February, the leader of the official department introduced him.The emperor thought that Jia Zheng was diligent, thrifty and cautious, so he released Jiangxi Liangdao.Thank you today, the date of departure has been announced.Although there are many relatives and friends congratulating him, Jia Zheng has no intention of socializing. He only thinks that the family is not at ease, and he dare not stay at home.I was at my wit's end when I heard Jia's mother calling, "Master, please."

Jia Zheng hurried in and saw Mrs. Wang there sick.Then he greeted Jia Mu.Jia Mu asked him to sit down and said, "You are going to take office soon. How many words do I have to tell you? I wonder if you will listen?"Jia Zheng hurriedly stood up and said: "The old lady can just give orders if you have something to say. How dare your son not obey." Eldest brother is at home, and you can’t sue your relatives. Now that you’re gone, Baoyu is the only thing I care about, but she’s sick and confused, and I don’t know what’s going on. Yesterday I asked Lai Sheng’s wife to go out and ask someone to tell Baoyu’s fortune. , this gentleman is very smart. He said that if he wants to marry someone with a golden life to help him, he must be very happy, otherwise he may not be able to keep it. I know you don't believe those words, so I teach you to discuss it. Your daughter-in-law is also here. The two of you also discuss and discuss, should you choose Baoyu, or let him go?" Jia Zheng said with a smile: "The old lady loved her son so much at the beginning. Could it be that a son doesn't love his own son? Because Baoyu doesn't make progress, so he often hates him, but it just means that he hates iron but not steel. Since the old lady wants to give him a family, this is also what she should do. There is no reason to go against the old lady and not love him. Now that Baoyu is ill, The son is also worried. Because the old lady didn't let him see me, the son didn't dare to speak. Let me see what kind of disease Baoyu is."

When Mrs. Wang saw that Jia Zheng was talking, her eyes were a little red. She knew that her heart was hurting, so she asked Xiren to help Baoyu come.When Baoyu met his father, the attacker asked him to greet him, so he said hello.Jia Zheng saw that his face was very thin, his eyes were dull, and he looked like a fool, so he asked someone to help him in, and thought: "I am also a member of Wangliu, and now I have been released from another post. I don't know how many years I will come back. If or This child is really not good, one is old and has no heir, although there is a grandson, there is a layer of separation, and the other is that the old lady loves Baoyu the most, if there is a mistake, it is not my crime that is more serious." Look at the king Madam, shedding tears, thought of him again, stood up again and said: "The old lady is so old, she thinks about her grandson, and she dares to disobey her as a son? The old lady can do whatever she wants. But only the concubine's side I don't know if you have made it clear?" Mrs. Wang then said: "My aunt should have answered it long ago. It's just because Pan'er's case has not been closed, so I never mentioned it." Jia Zheng said again: "This is the first level of difficulty. His elder brother is in prison, how can his younger sister get married? Moreover, although the imperial concubine's affairs cannot prevent her from getting married, Baoyu should have nine months of service for her married elder sister, so it is difficult to marry at this time. Furthermore, my date of departure has been announced, so I don't know. Dare to delay, what should I do these few days?" Mother Jia thought for a while: "You are really right. If these things pass, his father will leave again. What if the disease gets worse every day? But the more polite it is, the better."

Thinking about making up his mind, he said: "If you do it for him, I have a reason, and I can guarantee that it won't get in the way. My concubine and your daughter-in-law will go to ask him in person. I will ask Tiaoer to tell him that Pan'er is there. If you want to save Baoyu's life, everything will come to an end, and it will be natural. If you persuade Li to get married, you really can't do it. Besides, Baoyu is sick, and you can't teach him to get married. According to the principle of marriage, there is no need to get married. That is to say, choose a good day, and celebrate the ceremony according to our family's share. If you rush to pick a wedding day, you don't need to cheer, but follow the way in the palace, with twelve pairs of lanterns. A sedan chair with eight people was carried here, and worshiped according to the southern rules, sitting on the bed and throwing the tent, isn't it considered married? Bao girl understands in her heart, so there is no need to worry. There are attackers inside, so it is still He is a well-behaved child. Another sensible person often advised him to be better. He got along with Bao girl again. Furthermore, my concubine once said that there was a monk who said that Bao girl's golden lock is only waiting for someone who has jade. It's a marriage. How could you know that when Bao girl came over, she wouldn't be able to decide if she didn't recruit his piece of jade because of the golden lock. From now on, it seems like a day. Isn't it everyone's good luck? Now I just need to clean up the house and arrange it immediately. This house I want you to send it. All relatives and friends are not invited, and no banquets are arranged. 7. After Baoyu is ready, after passing the formal service, I will arrange a banquet to invite people. This way, I can catch up. You also saw the matter of their young couple You can go there with peace of mind." Jia Zheng listened, but he didn't want to, but Jia's mother made the decision and didn't dare to disobey her orders, so she forced a smile and said: "The old lady thinks very well, and it's very appropriate. I just want to tell everyone in the family Don't yell so much that everyone knows it. It's not going to be delayed. I'm afraid the aunt will not agree. If she really agrees, she has to follow the old lady's idea." Jia Mu said: "There is me in the aunt's place. Well, you go." Jia Zheng agreed to come out, feeling very uncomfortable.Because of the many things to do, the ministry received credentials, relatives and friends recommended people, and all kinds of entertainment, he left Baoyu's affairs to Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng.However, Baoyu pointed out more than [-] houses with a large span next to Mrs. Wang's inner room behind Rongxi Hall, and ignored the rest.Jia's mother made up her mind to ask someone to tell him to go, but Jia Zheng only said it was very good, and that's another story.

It is said that Baoyu had seen Jia Zheng, and the attacker helped him back to the kang in the inner room.Because Jia Zheng was away, no one dared to talk to Baoyu, so Baoyu fell into a drowsy sleep.Baoyu didn't hear a word of what Jia Mu and Jia Zheng said.Xiren waited quietly but understood clearly.Although I heard some rumors in my head, after all, I didn't see Baochai coming, but I believed it.After hearing these words today, I just fell into the water in my heart, but I like it.I thought to myself: "Sure enough, the superior has good eyesight, so he deserves it. I am also good luck. If he comes, I can relieve a lot of burdens. But this person's mind is only one of Miss Lin. Fortunately, he didn't hear it. I know, but I don't know what the trouble is going to be."

Thinking of this, Xiren turned from joy to sorrow, and thought: "How is this good? Old lady, how can the lady know what is in their hearts. I told him when I was happy, and I wanted him to recover. If he is still like before What's on my mind: When I first saw Miss Lin, I wanted to throw jade at jade. Besides, that summer in the garden, I was treated as Miss Lin and said a lot of selfish things. Later, because of Zijuan's obscene words, I cried to death. If you tell him now that you want to marry Miss Bao, and you actually put Miss Lin away, unless someone else doesn't know what's going on, it's okay. If you understand a little bit, I'm afraid not only you won't be happy, but you will be killed! If I don't explain what I said, it won't be a harm Are there three?" Xiren wanted to make up his mind, waited for Jia Zheng to go out, asked Qiu Wen to take care of Baoyu, then came out from the inner room, walked to Mrs. Wang, and quietly invited Mrs. Wang to the room behind Jia Mu to talk. .Jia's mother only said that Baoyu had something to say, but she ignored it. She was still planning how to celebrate the ceremony and how to get married.

The attacker went to the back room with Mrs. Wang, knelt down and cried.Mrs. Wang didn't know why, she took him by the hand and said, "It's very good, what do you say? If you have any grievances, say it." Xiren said: "This is what a slave should not say, because there is nothing to do now. " Mrs. Wang said: "Speak slowly." Xiren said: "Baoyu's marriage, old lady, my wife has already decided on Miss Bao. Naturally, it is a very good thing. It's just a slave thinking. My wife looked at Baoyu and Baoyu. Miss Lin, is it better to be with Miss Lin?" Mrs. Wang said, "Because they have been together since childhood, Baoyu and Miss Lin are better off."

Xiren said, "It's not better." Then he told about Baoyusu and Daiyu's situation one by one, and said, "These things were all witnessed by my wife. I never dared to tell others about Xia Tian alone." The madam pulled Xi Ren and said: "I can see it from the outside. It's even more so when you say it today. But I must have heard what the master said just now. What do you think of his expression?" Humanity: "Now Baoyu laughs when someone talks to him, and sleeps when no one talks to him. So I don't hear what's going on in my head." Mrs. Wang said: "But what do you think of this matter?" The attacker said: "The servant said it was true. I have to tell the old lady to come up with a safe idea." Mrs. Wang then said: "Since that's the case, go and do your thing. At this time, the room is full of people. For the time being Don't mention it, I'll make sense when I see Konger returns to the old lady Ming." Then he went to Jia Mu.

Jia's mother was discussing with Sister Feng there, and when she saw Mrs. Wang coming in, she asked, "What did the attacking girl say? You are so sneaky." Mrs. Wang took advantage of the question and told Jia Mu about Baoyu's thoughts in detail.After hearing this, Jia Mu was speechless for a long time.Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng also stopped talking.I saw Jia Mu sighing: "Other things are easy to talk about. Lin girl is fine. If Baoyu is really like this, it will be difficult." Sister Feng thought for a while, because she said, "It's hard not to. Difficult, but I thought of an idea, I don't know if my aunt will agree."

Mrs. Wang said: "If you have an idea, just tell the old lady, and all the girls will discuss it." Sister Feng said: "In my opinion, there is only one way to drop the bag." Jia Mu said: "How to drop the bag?" Sister Feng said: "No matter whether brother Bao understands or not, everyone is arguing, saying that it is the master who decides to match Miss Lin with him. Look at his expression. If he doesn't care, Baoer won't need it." It's gone. If he likes it a little bit, it will take a lot of trouble." Mrs. Wang said: "Even if he likes it, what can you do?" Sister Feng went to Mrs. Wang's ear and said so and so on again.Mrs. Wang nodded a few times, smiled and said, "That's all."

Jia Mu then asked, "You two troublemakers, what are you doing telling me?" Sister Feng was afraid that Jia Mu would not understand and would reveal the mechanism, so she also told her softly in her ear.Mother Jia really didn't understand for a while, Sister Feng smiled and said a few more words.Jia Mu laughed and said, "That's fine, but it's just a pain for Bao girl. If there is a noise, what about Lin girl?" Sister Feng said, "This is only for Baoyu, and it is not allowed to be mentioned outside. , who knows." While talking, the girl came in and said, "Second Master Lian is back."

Mrs. Wang was afraid that Jia Mu would ask about it, so she winked at Sister Feng.Sister Feng pouted to meet Jia Lian, and went to Mrs. Wang's room to wait together.Once Mrs. Erwang came in, she saw Sister Feng crying with red eyes.Jia Lian invited Ann, and said about the funeral of Wang Ziteng in Shilitun, and then said: "There is a decree of kindness to reward the cabinet title, posthumously Duke Wenqin, and order this sect to help the coffin back home, and follow the local officials along the way. Take care. I got up yesterday and went back to the south with my family members. My uncle and wife told me to come back to say hello, saying that now I can’t think of not being able to go to Beijing, and there are so many things I can’t say. I heard that my brother-in-law is going to Beijing. If I meet him on the way, I will tell him to come. Let's talk about it in detail here." After hearing this, Mrs. Wang felt her grief needless to say.Sister Feng comforted her and said, "Madam, please take a rest and come to discuss Baoyu's affairs in the evening." After that, she went back to her room with Jia Lian and told Jia Lian to send someone to tidy up the new house.No problem.

One day, after breakfast, Daiyu brought Zicuckoo to Jiamu's side, one to say hello, and the other to relieve her boredom.After leaving the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, after walking a few steps, I suddenly remembered that I forgot the handkerchief, and asked Zijuan to go back to get it, but I walked slowly and waited for him.As soon as I walked behind the rocks at Qinfang Bridge, where I buried flowers with Baoyu that day, I suddenly heard a man sobbing and crying there.When Daiyu stood still and listened, she couldn't hear whose voice it was, or what it was that she was crying about.I was very puzzled in my heart, so I walked slowly.When I got to the front, I saw a girl with thick eyebrows and big eyes crying there.When Daiyu didn't see him, she only wondered what these big girls in the mansion had unspeakable worries, so she came here to vent, but when she saw this girl, it was funny, because she thought: What kind of love does this kind of idiot have? Naturally, the girl who did rough work in the house got angry with the big girl.I took a closer look, but didn't recognize it.When the girl saw Daiyu coming, she didn't dare to cry anymore and stood up to wipe away her tears.Daiyu asked, "Why are you so sad here?"

Hearing this, the girl wept again and said, "Miss Lin, comment on this reason. I didn't know what they were talking about, so I made a mistake, and my sister beat me if she didn't do it." Daiyu listened, Not knowing what he was talking about, she asked with a smile, "Which one is your sister?" The girl said, "It's sister Pearl." What's your name?" The girl said, "My name is Big Sister Silly." Daiyu smiled and asked again, "Why did your sister beat you? What did you say wrong?" The girl said, "Why, It's because of our Second Master Bao marrying Miss Bao." Hearing this, Daiyu's heart beat wildly like a thunderbolt.After calming down for a while, he called the girl, "you come here with me." The girl followed Daiyu to the place where the peach blossoms were buried on the deformed corner, where her back was quiet.Dai Yuyin asked, "Why did Master Bao marry Miss Bao, why did he beat you?" The silly elder sister said: "Our old lady discussed it with his wife's second grandmother, because our master is going to get up, so we rushed to discuss it with the concubine. Let Miss Bao marry over here. The first case, what joy is there for the second master Bao, and the second case--" At this point, he looked at Daiyu and smiled again, and then said: "I'm in a hurry, and I have to give it to Lin The girl said her mother-in-law's house." Daiyu was dumbfounded.The girl just said: "I don't know how they discussed it. They don't want to make a noise. I'm afraid Miss Bao will be ashamed when she hears it. I said something to the Xiren sister in Master Bao's room in vain: Let's have more fun tomorrow. It’s Miss Bao again, and Second Grandma Bao, what do you call it! Miss Lin, did you say that my words hurt Sister Pearl? He came over and slapped me, saying that I was talking nonsense and didn’t obey the boss If you say that, you will kick me out. I know why the higher-ups don't call me words, and you beat me without telling me." As he spoke, he began to cry again.

At that moment, Daiyu's heart was filled with oil, soy sauce, sugar, and vinegar. It was sweet, bitter, sour and salty, and there was no taste at all.After pausing for a while, he said tremblingly: "Stop talking nonsense. If you talk nonsense again, people will beat you again if they hear it. You can go." Then, he moved to go back to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.That body weighed thousands of catties, but his feet were already limp as if they were stepping on cotton.I have to walk slowly into the future step by step.After walking for a long time, before reaching the Qinfang Bridge, it turned out that my feet were soft.Walking slowly and obsessively, he confidently walked around from there, adding two arrows to the road.At this time, I just arrived at the Qinfang Bridge, but unconsciously walked back along the embankment.Zicuckoo took the silk, but did not see Daiyu.When I was watching there, I saw Daiyu's color was white, her body was wandering, and her eyes were straight, turning around here and there.I saw another girl walking forward, so far away that I couldn't tell which one was coming.Surprised and uncertain, she had to rush over and ask softly, "Why is the girl going back again? Where are you going?" Daiyu could only hear it vaguely, and said casually, "I'll ask Baoyu!" Zijuan listened, I couldn't figure it out, so I had to help him to Jia Mu's side.

When Daiyu walked to the door of Jia Mu, she felt a little clear in her heart. Looking back, she saw Zijuan holding her, so she stopped and asked, "What do you do here?" I saw that the girl was on the other side of the bridge, and I hurried over to ask the girl, but the girl ignored me." Daiyu smiled and said, "I looked at you to see that Master Bao is here, otherwise how can we go here?" Seeing Zijuan Confused in his heart, he knew that Daiyu must have heard what the girl said, so he just nodded and smiled.I'm just afraid that if he sees Baoyu, that one is already crazy and stupid, and this one is in a trance, saying something inappropriate for a while, what should I do then?Although I thought so in my heart, I didn't dare to disobey, so I had to help him in.But Daiyu was strange again. At this time, she was not as soft as before, and she didn't need the azalea to open the curtain. She lifted the curtain and came in by herself, but it was silent.Because Jia Mu slept in the house, some of the girls slipped away, some took a nap, and some waited on the old lady there.On the other hand, Xiren heard the sound of the curtain, came out of the room and saw that it was Daiyu, so he gave way, "Sit in the girl's room."

Daiyu smiled and said, "Is the second master Bao at home?" Xiren didn't know what was going on, and just about to answer, he saw Zijuan pouting with him behind Daiyu, pointing at Daiyu, and shaking his hand again.The attacker didn't understand what he meant, and dared not speak.But Daiyu ignored it and walked into the room by herself.Seeing Baoyu sitting there, he didn't get up to give up his seat, but just looked at him and giggled.Daiyu sat down by herself, but also looked at Baoyu and smiled.The two of them didn't say hello, didn't speak, and didn't make any excuses, they just smirked at their faces.When Xiren saw this scene, he couldn't make up his mind, but there was nothing he could do.Suddenly I heard Daiyu say, "Baoyu, why are you sick?" Baoyu laughed and said, "I'm sick because of Miss Lin."The two did not answer, but still giggled.Seeing this, Xiren knew that Daiyu was as confused as Baoyu at this time, so he quietly said to Zijuan, "Young lady is all right. I'll ask sister Qiuwen to go back with you and take the girl back to have a rest." Said to Qiuwen, "you and sister Zijuan will send Miss Lin to go. Don't talk nonsense." Qiuwen smiled and said nothing, so she came to help Daiyu with Zijuan.

That Daiyu also got up, looked at Baoyu and just smiled and nodded.Zijuan urged again: "Girl, go home and have a rest." Daiyu said, "No, it's time for me to go back." Then she turned around and came out with a smile, still without the help of girls, But he walked faster than usual.Zijuan Qiuwen hurriedly followed.Daiyu walked out of the gate of Jiamu's courtyard, just walking straight.Zijuan hurriedly helped her and shouted, "Young lady, come this way." Still smiling, Daiyu followed her to Xiaoxiang Hall.Not far from the door, Zicuckoo said: "Amitabha, you're home!" But before finishing this sentence, Daiyu fell forward and spit out a mouthful of blood with a wow.I don't know how my life is, let's listen to the next chapter to break it down.
