Dream of the Red Mansion

It is said that Aunt Zhao got a sudden illness in the temple, and seeing that there were fewer people, she even talked about it in a nonsensical manner, which made everyone hate her, so there were two women helping her.Aunt Zhao knelt on the ground, said once, cried once, sometimes crawled on the ground to beg for mercy, and said, "Kill me! Master with red beard, I dare not do it again." pain.With protruding eyes, blood flowing from the mouth, and disheveled hair, everyone was afraid and dared not approach her.At that time, it was getting late again, and Aunt Zhao's voice became hoarse, like howling like a ghost.No one dared to stand in front of him, so he had to call a few brave men to come in and sit down. Aunt Zhao died for a while, and then came back after a while, making a whole night of trouble.On the second day, he didn't say a word, just put on a grimace, and tore off his clothes with his own hands, exposing his chest, as if someone had stripped him.Although poor Aunt Zhao couldn't tell, her pain was really embarrassing.He was in a critical condition, and when the doctor came, he didn't dare to make a diagnosis. He only told him to "do the funeral", and got up and left.The family who sent the doctor begged again and again: "Please take a look at the pulse, the master, so I can report back to the master." The doctor touched it with his hand, but there was no pulse.After hearing this, Jia Huan burst into tears.Everyone only cares about Jia Huan, who takes care of Aunt Zhao.Only Aunt Zhou felt bitter and thought: "The end of being a concubine is nothing more than that! Besides, he has a son, and I don't know what to do when I die!" So she cried bitterly.Let's say that the man rushed home to report back.Jia Zheng immediately sent his family to take care of it as usual, stayed with Huan'er for three days, and came back together.

That person has gone, here one person spreads the word to ten, and ten people spreads it to a hundred. They all know that Aunt Zhao was tortured to death in the underworld because of her malicious intentions.He also said, "Second Grandma Lian is afraid she won't get better, how can Second Grandma Lian sue." These words reached Ping'er's ears, and she was very anxious. Recently, Jia Lian is not as loving as before, and there are many things to do, but it seems that they have nothing to do with him.In front of Sister Feng, Ping'er only tried to comfort her, but also thought about the second Mrs. Xing Wang's return home for a few days, so she only sent people to ask questions, but did not come to see her in person.Sister Feng felt even more miserable.Jia Lian didn't have a thoughtful word when he came back.At this time, Sister Feng only wanted to die quickly, and when she thought about it, the evil spirits had arrived.I saw Second Sister You coming from the back of the room, approaching the bed and saying: "Sister, I haven't seen you for a long time. As a younger sister, I miss you very much. If I want to see you, I can't see you. Now I finally come in to see my sister. My sister has exhausted all her efforts." Well, our second master is confused and doesn't accept my sister's favor. Instead, she blames her for being too harsh and ruining his future, making him shameful now. I'm angry on my sister's behalf."

Sister Feng said in a trance: "I also regret that my heart is so narrow now. My sister doesn't miss the old evil, and she still comes to see me." Ping'er heard from the side and said, "What did grandma say?" If he dies, he must come to claim his life.Woke up by Ping'er, she was afraid and refused to speak out, so she forced herself to say: "I'm in a state of insanity, I think I'm talking in my sleep. Give me a beat." Ping'er went up to beat, and when a little girl came in, she said yes. "Grandma Liu is here, and the mothers-in-law are here to greet Grandma." Ping'er hurried down and said, "Where is it?" The little girl said, "He didn't dare to come in, and he listened to Grandma's instruction." Ping'er listened and nodded, thinking that Sister Feng must be too lazy to see people in her illness, so she said, "Grandma is resting now." Tell him to wait for now.Did you ask him what's the matter? "The little girl said." They asked, and it was all right.He said he knew that the old lady had passed away, so he was late because he didn't report. "The little girl was talking, and when Sister Feng heard it, she called, "Ping'er, come here, I'm kind enough to come and see you, don't be indifferent to me.You go and invite Grandma Liu in, and I'll talk to him. "Ping'er had no choice but to come out and invite Grandma Liu to sit here.

Just as Sister Feng was about to close her eyes, she saw a man and a woman walking towards the kang, as if they were about to get on the kang.Sister Feng was busy, so she called Ping'er and said, "There's a man coming here!" After calling twice, Feng'er and Xiaohong rushed to say, "What does grandma want?" Sister Feng opened her eyes and saw, Seeing no one, she knew it in her heart and refused to say it, so she asked Feng'er, "Where did Ping'er go?" Feng'er said, "Didn't grandma call to invite Grandma Liu?" Sister Feng settled down for a while , nor words.

I saw Ping'er and Grandma Liu brought a little girl in and said, "where is our aunt?" Sadly, she said: "How are you, grandma? Why did you come here at this time? You see that your granddaughter has grown so big." Grandma Liu looked at Sister Feng's skinny face with a dazed expression, and felt miserable in her heart, and said, "My grandma , Why haven’t I seen you in the past few months, and I’m so sick. I’m so confused that I’m going to die, why didn’t I come to say hello to my aunt earlier!” He asked Qing’er to say hello to my aunt.Qing'er just laughed, but Sister Feng liked it very much, so she asked Xiaohong to greet her.Grandma Liu said: "People in our village don't get sick. If they get sick, they ask God to make a wish. They never know how to take medicine. I don't think my aunt's illness will hit anything?" Reasonable, they gossip about him behind his back.Grandma Liu understood, so she didn't speak.Knowing that this sentence is exactly what Sister Feng wanted, she struggled and said, "Grandma, you are an old man, and you are right. The Aunt Zhao you met is also dead, do you know?" Grandma Liu said in surprise: "Amitabha! How could a man just die? I remember that he also had a younger brother, so what's the matter?" Ping'er said, "What are you afraid of? He still has a master and a wife." Grandma Liu said, "Miss , how do you know that it is not good to die because of your own birth, and it is useless to separate the belly." This sentence aroused Sister Feng's sorrow again, and she burst into tears.Everyone came to persuade.

When Sister Qiao heard his mother cry, she went to the Kang and took Sister Feng's hand with her hand, crying too.Sister Feng cried and said, "Have you met grandma?" Sister Qiao said, "No." Sister Feng said, "Your name was given by him, just like your godmother. Please give him a blessing." " Sister Qiao came to the front, and Grandma Liu hurriedly said: "Amitabha, don't kill me! Miss Qiao, I haven't come here for more than a year, do you still recognize me?" Sister Qiao said: " Why don't you recognize me. When I met you in the garden that year, I was still young. When you came the year before last, I asked you for the grasshopper for the next year, but you didn't give it to me. You must have forgotten it." Grandma Liu said: "Good girl , I am confused. If we talk about Grasshoppers, we have a lot of them in our village, but we don’t go there. If we go, it’s easy to take a car.” Sister Feng said, “Otherwise, you can take him with you. "Grandma Liu laughed and said: "Young girl is so expensive, wrapped in silk, and eats good food. When we come to our place, what should I use to coax him, and what should I give him to eat? This is not to kill me. What?" He said, still laughing, "Then, let me be a matchmaker for the girl. Although we are in a village, there are also wealthy owners with thousands of hectares of land, hundreds of animals, and money. There are quite a few, but it's not like there are gold and jade here. Aunt and grandma look down on this kind of family. We Zhuang family look at such a rich man, and we can be regarded as people in heaven." Sister Feng said: "Go ahead, I will do it if I want to." Give it." Grandma Liu said: "It's just nonsense. If my aunt is like this, I'm afraid the people in the high officials and big houses will not give it to me, but I will give it to the Zhuang family. Even if my aunt is willing, the wives above will not give it to me." .” Qiaojie went to talk to Qing’er because his words were not pleasant.The two girls, to say the least, gradually became acquainted.

Here, Ping'er was afraid that Grandma Liu would talk too much and disturb Sister Feng, so she pulled Grandma Liu and said, "You mentioned my wife, but you haven't been there yet. I'll go out and ask someone to take you to see me. It's not in vain to come here." Let's go." Grandma Liu wanted to leave.Sister Feng said: "What are you up to? Sit down, and I'll ask you how you're living these days?" Grandma Liu said thankfully, "If we don't rely on my aunt," she said, pointing to Qing'er and saying: "His mother is about to starve to death. Although the farmer's family is suffering now, the family has earned several acres of land, dug a well, planted some vegetables and fruits, and sold a lot of money a year, which is enough for them. Chewing food. In the past two years, my aunt has often given me some clothes and cloth, which is not bad in our village. Amitabha, my father went to the city the day before yesterday, and when I heard that my aunt moved here, I almost killed him. Fortunately, someone else I didn’t feel relieved when I said it wasn’t here. Later I heard that the master was promoted here, and I liked it again, so I wanted to congratulate him, because the dealers all over the place couldn’t come. Yesterday, I heard that the old lady was gone, so I played in the field. Douzi, when he heard this, he was so bluffed that he couldn't even pick up the beans, so he cried hard in the field. I told my son-in-law, I don't care about you anymore, no matter the truth or lies, I want to I went to the city to have a look. My daughter and son-in-law are not heartless. They cried for a while when they heard it. They drove me into the city before dawn today. I don’t know anyone, and I have no place to ask. All the way to the back door, I saw that the door god was confused, and I was not small. I entered the door to look for Mrs. Zhou, but I couldn't find it. I ran into a little girl and said that Mrs. Zhou had something wrong, so I kicked her out. After waiting for a long time, I met an acquaintance before I came in. If you don’t forgive me, my aunt is also so sick.” As he spoke, tears fell again.

Ping'er waited in a hurry, and pulled away without waiting for him to finish speaking, saying: "Your mouth has been dry after talking for a long time, old man, let's go have a bowl of tea." Qiao sister over there.Grandma Liu said: "I don't want tea. Good girl, ask someone to take me to greet my wife. Go and cry for the old lady." I was afraid that your words would make our grandma cry, so I urged you to come out. Don't think about it." Grandma Liu said: "Amitabha, girl, I know that you are paranoid. But how is grandma's illness getting better?" Ping The son said, "do you see it as a hindrance?" Grandma Liu said, "it's a crime. I don't think so." As she was talking, she heard Sister Feng calling again.When Ping'er reached the bed, Sister Feng was silent again.Ping'er was asking Feng'er when Jia Lian came in, looked at the kang, went inside and sat down angrily without saying a word.Only Qiutong followed in, poured tea, was courteous for a while, and chattered something.When Jia Lian came back, she called Ping'er to ask, "Doesn't grandma take medicine?" Ping'er said, "No medicine. How about it?" Jia Lian said, "I know! Take the key from the cabinet."

Seeing that Jia Lian was angry, Ping'er didn't dare to ask, so she came out and whispered in Sister Feng's ear.Sister Feng said nothing, so Ping'er put a box with Jia Lian and left.Jia Lian said, "Is there a ghost calling you? Who can you ask to take it?" Ping'er endured his anger and opened it, took the key and opened the cabinet, and asked, "What are you taking?" Jia Lian said, "Do we have anything? "Ping'er cried angrily: "If you have something to say, you are willing to die!" Jia Lian said: "What more to say! You made trouble in the head. Now the old lady is short of four or five thousand silver , the master told me to use the land tent in the office to get money, do you think there is? Isn’t the tent pulled outside open for use? Who told me to take this name! I had to fold the things the old lady gave me. You don’t agree Is it?" Ping'er listened, without saying a word, and moved the things out of the cabinet.I saw Xiaohong come over and say, "Sister Ping, go away, grandma is not good." Ping'er didn't care about Jia Lian, so she hurried over.Jia Lian also came over to have a look, stomped his foot and said, "If so, it will kill me." As he spoke, he shed tears.Feng'er came in and said, "I'm looking for the second master outside." Jia Lian had to go out.

Sister Feng is getting worse here, and Feng'er and others can't help crying.Qiaojie heard and rushed over.Grandma Liu also hurried to the kang, chanted Buddha in her mouth, and made some tricks. Sure enough, Sister Feng was better.After hearing the girl's letter, Mrs. Wang also came over. Seeing that Sister Feng was quieter, she felt relieved. When she saw Grandma Liu, she said, "How are you, Grandma Liu? When did you come?" Grandma Liu said, " Ma'am, please be well." I don't have time to elaborate, I only talk about Sister Feng's illness.After paying attention to it for a long time, Caiyun came in and said, "Master, I invite my wife." Mrs. Wang told Ping'er a few words, and then passed.Sister Feng made a fuss for a while, but at this moment she felt more clearly. Seeing Grandma Liu here, she believed in her heart that he was praying to God. like.Grandma Liu then said that there are some Bodhisattva spirits and temples in our village that have a sense of them.Sister Feng said: "Please pray for me. I have the money for the offering." She took off a gold bracelet from her wrist and handed it to him.Grandma Liu said: "Grandma, you don't need that. People in our village made a wish. Well, it's enough to spend a few hundred dollars. Then use these. Even if I beg for my aunt, it's also a wish. When my aunt is well, what will it cost?" Go spend it by yourself." Sister Feng knew that Grandma Liu was kind and didn't want to force her to do so, so she stayed and said, "Grandma, I leave my life to you. gone."

Grandma Liu readily agreed, and then said: "Well, I think it's still early in the weather, and I can't get out of the city yet, so I'll go. Auntie Ming'er is well, and I'll ask you to go again." He went and said, "If you are willing to work hard for me, I will be grateful to you if I can sleep peacefully. Your granddaughter asks him to live here." Grandma Liu said: "The children of the Zhuang family have never seen the world. I'll take him there." Sister Feng said: "This is superfluous. Since we are a family, what are we afraid of? Even though we are poor, it doesn't matter if this one eats." Liu Seeing Sister Feng's true love, grandma asked Qing'er to stay for a few days, saving the family from chewing and eating.I'm afraid Qing'er won't, why don't you ask him to ask, if he is willing, then stay.So I said a few words to Qing'er.Qing'er is very familiar with Qiao's sister's stubbornness, but Qiao's sister doesn't want him to go, and Qing'er wants to be here.Grandma Liu then gave some instructions, resigned from Ping'er, and hurried out of the city.No problem.

In addition, Changcui nunnery was originally the address of Jia's mansion. Because it was built as a provincial garden, the nunnery was enclosed in it, and the incense and fire were always eaten without using the money and food of Jia's mansion.Today Miaoyu was robbed, and the nun reported it to the officials. One is waiting for the whereabouts of the robbers seized by the government, and the other is that Miaoyu's foundation is inconvenient to disperse, so she still lives.But back to Jia's house.At that time, although everyone in Jia's mansion knew about Jia Zheng's new funeral, and they were worried, they did not dare to report these unimportant things.Only Xichun knew about it, and she was restless day and night.Gradually it spread to Baoyu's ears, saying that Miaoyu was robbed by thieves, and some said that Miaoyufan went away with others because of his heart.Baoyu was very puzzled when he heard this, thinking that he must have been robbed by a strong man. This man would not accept it and would die unyielding.But there was nothing left, and I was very worried, and I sighed and sighed every day.He also said: "Such a person calls himself an outsider, how did he end up like this!" Then he thought: "How lively the garden was that day. Since the second sister came out of the cabinet, he died and married. I think he is spotless. You can live with it, but you don't know that the sudden turmoil is even more strange than Sister Lin's death!"

From one to two, two to three, when I think about it, I think of the words of Zhuangzi gt; gt; gt; gt;Xiren and others also said that it was his madness attack, and they tried every means to persuade him gently.At the beginning, Baochai didn't know why, but she also used words and precepts.Unexpectedly, Baoyu was depressed and puzzled, and felt in a trance.Baochai couldn't think of a reason, so after asking again and again, she knew that Miaoyu had been robbed and disappeared, which was also sad. She was only worried about Baoyu, so she explained it with correct words.Because of the mention of "Lan'er came back from the funeral. Although he didn't go to school, he was suffering day and night. He is the great-grandson of the old lady. The old lady has always wanted you to grow up. The master is worried about you day and night. You ruin yourself for your leisure. What is the result for you!" Baoyu was speechless, and after a while he said, "I'm meddling in other people's business, and I can only lament the decline of our family's luck." Baochai said, "But come again, master. Madam originally wanted you to become an adult and carry on the legacy of your ancestors. You are just obsessed, so what should you do?" Baoyu heard that the words were not speculative, so she leaned on the table and fell asleep.Baochai ignored him and asked Sheyue to wait on him, but went to sleep by herself.

Seeing that there were few people in the room, Baoyu thought: "Zijuan has come here, and I have never said a word of affection to him. I am very sorry to leave him alone. He is no match for the musk moon and autumn patterns. I can put him away." Got it. Thinking back to when I was sick, he stayed with me for a long time, and now his little mirror is still with me, but his affection is not weak. Now I don’t know why, but when he sees me, he is cold If it is for us, he is the best with Sister Lin, and I think he treats Zijuan well. There are days when I am not at home, Zijuan used to talk to him, and now I am here, Zijuan then walked away. Presumably it was because of my sister Lin's death and I became a family. Hey, Zijuan, Zijuan, you are such a smart girl, can't you even see the difficulty of my idea! "Yin thought again: "Tonight they sleep and work, why don't I go to him in this spare time and see what he has to say. If there is something wrong with me, it's okay to accompany me. "After making up his mind, he walked out of the door gently and came to find Zicuckoo.

The Zijuan's servant is also in the west wing.Baoyu quietly went to the window and saw that there was still a light inside, so he licked the broken window paper with his tongue and looked in. He saw Zijuan carrying the lamp alone, not doing anything, just sitting there blankly.Baoyu called softly: "Sister Zijuan hasn't slept yet?" , It seemed to be Baoyu's voice, so he asked, "Is it the second master Bao?" Baoyu agreed softly outside.Zijuan asked, "What are you doing here?" Baoyu said, "I have something in my heart to tell you. You open the door, and I'll sit in your room." Zijuan paused for a while and said, "Two What do you want to say, it's getting late, please go back and talk about it tomorrow." Baoyu was cold when he heard this.I still want to go in, fearing that Zijuan may not open the door, and wanting to go back, this hidden feeling in my stomach is more and more aroused by Zijuan's words.Reluctantly, he said, "I don't have any extra words. I just want to ask you." Zijuan said, "If it's a sentence, please say it." Baoyu said nothing for a long time.Zijuan didn't see Baoyu's words in the room, and knew that he was always demented. I'm afraid that he would be robbed of him for a while, and it would be too bad to bring back his old illness. Because he stood up and listened carefully, he asked again, "Yes. Leave, or just stand there stupidly? Don’t say anything, just slander people here. I have already slapped one to death, why do I want to slap another one to death? Why bother to do this!” As he spoke, he also licked the broken piece from Baoyu. Looking out, I saw Baoyu listening there.It's inconvenient for Zicuckoo to talk about it, so she turned around and cut the candle flowers.

Suddenly Baoyu sighed and said, "Sister Zijuan, you have never been so hard-hearted. Why don't you even say a good word to me recently? Of course I am a dirty thing, and I don't deserve you to talk to me, but I'm the only one. If there is anything wrong, I just hope that my sister will explain it, even if my sister will ignore me for the rest of my life, I will be a ghost after I die!" After hearing this, Zijuan sneered: "That's what Second Master said, what else? That’s what I said, when our girl was around, I followed the custom! If there is any harm to us, I was sent by my wife, but the second master will go back to his wife, and it’s nothing to influence us girls.” Said When he got here, the sound choked up, and his nose woke up again as he spoke. Baoyu knew that he was crying sadly outside, so he stamped his feet anxiously and said, "what do you mean? What else do you not know about my affairs here for a few months?" Yes. Even if others don’t want to tell you for me, don’t you tell me to tell me, I’ll be suffocated to death!” As he spoke, he also sobbed.

Baoyu was sad here, when suddenly he heard a person behind him say, "Who do you ask to speak for you? Whose and what? I have offended someone and asked for it. It is not for others to reward others. Why bother to take us?" It’s okay to catch your breath.” This sentence shocked both inside and outside.Who do you know, but it turns out to be Musk Moon.Baoyu felt that his face was boring.I saw Musk Moon said again: "What's the matter? One is not with me, and the other is ignoring. You are quick to ask. Hey, our sister Zijuan is too cruel. It is so cold outside. I've been waiting for a long time, and I don't even have the energy to move." Then he said to Baoyu, "The second grandma said just now, how late it is, and I was looking at you, but what are you doing standing under the eaves alone! "

Zicuckoo went on to say: "What does this mean? I have invited the second master to come in, and I will talk about it tomorrow. Why bother to come!" Baoyu still wanted to talk, because she saw that Musk Moon was there, so it was hard to say anything else. I had no choice but to walk back with Musk Moon, and said: "Forget it, forget it! It's hard for me to confess my heart in this life! Only God knows!" At this point, the tears came from nowhere, and they continued to flow .Sheyue said: "Second Master, I advise you to give up your heart. It's a pity to accompany your tears in vain." Baoyu didn't answer, so he went into the room.I saw that Baochai was asleep, and Baoyu knew that Baochai was pretending to be asleep.But Xiren said: "If there is anything I can't say tomorrow, I will go there to make a fuss, and make a fuss--" He refused to say it at this point, and continued after a while: "I don't feel it on my body. How is it?" Baoyu didn't say a word, just shook his head, and then sent Xiren to sleep.No sleep all night, needless to say.

Here Zicuckoo was tricked by Baoyu, and she felt more and more uncomfortable, and cried all night.After thinking about it, "I knew that Baoyu couldn't understand it when he was ill, so everyone did it. Later Baoyu understood that the old illness relapsed, and she often cried and thought, and she was not a ungrateful person. Today's tenderness, all the time. It makes people feel uncomfortable, I just feel sorry for our Miss Lin, who really has no luck to endure him. From this point of view, there is a certain fate in life, and before the end, everyone is wishful thinking. Even if there is nothing to do, the foolish ones will ignore it. Well, the one with deep love and righteousness is nothing more than facing the wind and facing the moon, weeping and weeping. The poor one who died may not know, but this living one is really distressed and sad, endlessly. It is not as good as grass, trees and stones, ignorant and unconscious, It's clean in my heart!"

Thinking of this, my sour and hot heart was frozen for a moment.Just when I was about to pack up and go to sleep, I only heard the noise in the east courtyard.I don't know what happened, I will break it down next time.
