Baoyu Fights the Red Chamber

The author has something to say: I have watched the wind and rain in the depths of the years, and finally I have the sorrow of the Red Chamber...

Xue Biao got married in less than a year, because both parties have reached the age, if Xia Huan'er hadn't caught up with Xue Biao's clever family, she would be sent to some official family as a concubine either this year or next year.Xue Wang was in a hurry to marry her nephew, and Yingchun couldn't help her much. After she took a fancy to Xia Huan'er, she was even more anxious than the Hu family who were in a hurry to marry Baochai.The Xia family thought about it, and there was no point in delaying it for another year, so it would be better to choose an auspicious day in the golden autumn and October, so as to avoid the trouble of snow.

Baoyu sent Baoqin back to Xue's house, and kowtowed to her aunt.Xue Wang was very happy, saying that Baochai was happy at last.

False stone sighed secretly that it was not easy for women in ancient times, and they used "finally" after only getting married for more than half a year.Looking at it like this, I can't avoid it after staying in the Red Chamber, so how dare I let Kong bear the reputation of "not being able to lay eggs".

In fact, he has entered into a misunderstanding. Mrs. Wang is Xue Wang's younger sister. After getting married, Jia Zhu is older than Xue Pan.

Xue Wang's family is very strong, and it is not as cheap as people think for a lady from an official family to marry into a businessman.At that time, she didn't understand everything about the business, so she learned everything.Later, she regretted that there was only one pair of children!Therefore, she didn't force Yingchun at all, and it was important to have more children while she was young.She doesn't think Yingchun is stupid, just take arranging the room as an example, and she can tell after trying it out that Yingchun's arrangement looks pretty, and none of them suit Xue Pan's liking, this is the mistress' method.With this method, what can't you learn?

Therefore, Xia Huan'er... In Xue Wang's eyes, she is also a temporary housekeeper.

Because the meal time was approaching, Xue Wang stayed with his nephew for dinner.Baoyu was afraid that his cousin had hired a bunch of cronies, so he left on the pretext that the family school had something to do.

Unexpectedly, when I left the backyard, Xue Pan blocked the way, and said happily: "You are a busy man! You thought you would send Brother Cong to bring Baoqin back. This is just a coincidence, those of you who live in Feng Ye... ...Don't try to run away, the servants of the young masters have seen you! Have a drink or two, I won't allow them to force you, stay here when it's late, go back early tomorrow, and don't delay the family school. "

Baoyu had no choice but to claim that he wanted to show respect first, then turned around and sent Jingping Pegasus to call Liu's brother-in-law.What Feng Ziying and Wei Ruolan are all Liu Xianglian's bad friends!He has been careful to avoid it, the shadow is too big, he turned his head through it, because of Xue Fengwei and others lost his life.I thought I had avoided it, but unexpectedly, the head-to-head dinner that the original book was lined up for came unexpectedly.

By the way, how did Feng and Wei become temporary residents with the fake stone?Alas, Jia Qiang was in a hurry to sell Ning Mansion in July, where would she find such a big buyer?Even if there is, the price will be lowered fiercely.Therefore, it was disassembled and sold to a group of generals, who did not regard it as a serious house, but just a courtyard for fun.Among them are the descendants of Ning Rong and his subordinates, the former subordinates of Wang Ziteng who is still alive and stubborn, and the subordinates of the Shi family.But the Xungui family has no one. It is unknown whether the family is empty and only has empty airs, or they hate Jia Qiang for repaying the emperor's silver, and they have to think about repaying the debt when they are tired.

But it was said that a certain one had been delayed for a while, and Qiu Duwei's son came to find the "scholar who fell into the toilet pit" in person, so Baoyu had to go to the banquet obediently.

Not many customers today, only one table.Xue Biao is not here, and for things like marriage, if there are parents in the family, the parties are always the most idle. Xue Biao simply took the clerk to patrol the shop and came back at the end of the month.Hu Anlan, the son-in-law of Xue's family, was here to announce the good news. He stayed overnight and picked up his mother-in-law to visit Baochai at Hu's house tomorrow morning.Then there is Feng Weiqiu, the Fourth Young Master Shen, and Xiaodanruiguan and Xiaoshengouguan: the twelve officials that Jia Qiang sold are gathered in the other courtyard!

It is said that after the Ning Mansion's defeat, there were limited people willing to lend a hand to help, so the Rong Mansion secretly tried their best, and they were still old people who went around.Those who buy the little operas are the Gaoliangzi, and those who buy the houses are their parents, most of them are good friends of the whole family, so the little operas work together to form a neat troupe, and they can sing excerpts during New Years and festivals.

Baoyu came late, so the young master asked him to drink three cups first.

Cousin Pan said that he must do what he said, and drink on his behalf. After drinking, he took the hand of Rui Guan and asked her to sing Ti Ji's tune.

Ruiguan sang "Qin Tiao", and Xue Pan yelled: "You Lord! Sing it better!" Ruiguan's master, Feng Ye, was not happy, and asked the scholar to recite beautiful poems. Pour wine with others outside."

Bao Xiucai said with a smile: "What kind of poems and songs? Just enjoy drinking. According to me, it must be appreciated by both the refined and the popular. How about I go to the courtyard to break the sweet-scented osmanthus, play the small drum with the pistils and lotus root, and pass the flowers on the drum? Who will hold the flowers?" , tell a joke. If it’s good, let’s have a toast; if it’s not funny, then punish the joker with a large bowl, and pour wine with everyone outside one by one!”

All the younger ones applauded (I have to say "younger", the biggest Xue Pan is only nineteen, and he has not yet reached the crown in ancient times, even though he has a son, he can't grow a beard).Because Rui Guan and Ou Guan didn't bring drums with them, Xue Pan personally led the young men to the back house to look for them.Baoyu ran into the yard, pretending to be weak in order to delay time, and couldn't climb the tree for a long time, making everyone laugh.

Feeling pity, Wei Ruolan took off from the ground and cut off a branch with her saber, which won everyone's applause.

So everyone went back to the table, and the little flower drum was also found.Ruiguan and Ouguan are used to playing drums, sometimes they are tight and sometimes slow, sometimes they are like lightning flashes and dark, or like a frightened horse galloping wildly, the drums suddenly stop, and the flowers are in Feng Ziying's hands.

This is very particular, he is the son of General Shenwu, he has the highest status among the young people present, Baoyu just takes the name of the mother's younger brother, and his father is actually a minor official of the fifth rank.Furthermore, starting with Feng Ziying can set the tone, so as not to be a scholar.

Feng Ziying then said: "In the bright autumn sun, the old monk led the young monk down the mountain for alms, passing through the unharvested land, they met a pretty widow and a wild man rolling in the field, gnawing and stripping his clothes. The young monk asked: "What are they doing?" The old monk dragged the young monk and ran for a long time, then said angrily: "Teacher, don't dare to go there, there is a catastrophe, and there is no steamed buns." Eat, people eat people!'”

Everyone laughed and drank together.Immediately, the flower was passed on again and stopped in the hands of Bao Xiucai.

A certain scholar touched his face and said sternly: "My lord is not a joke, it's just something that happened early in the morning a while ago. A group of servants rushed to send a young man in brocade clothes to the family school. That boy is very majestic. The student said: "Do you know who I am? I learned martial arts at the age of three, and I was invincible all over the rivers and lakes at the age of five!" The long follower on one side bowed and said to me: "So I sent it to the family school at the age of six."

Everyone waited and waited, but there is no more text?Thinking about it again, I burst out laughing.Except for Baoyu, no one here has ever attended a private school, but all of them have tutors at home. They are all mischievous and can't recite books. The husband beats the palm of his hand, and his hand is swollen and he has to hide it. I was seen by the old man There must be another beating.So he said it wasn't funny after laughing, and asked Bao Xiucai to repeat it, otherwise it would be a bowl of water.

There are plenty of jokes in Bao Xiucai's stomach, which were adapted from Internet jokes, but there were no jokes in ancient times.He talked four or five times in a row, long and short, and everyone became more and more enthusiastic as they listened, and they shamelessly refused to let him pass the test.

Finally Liu Xianglian came, and the fake stone was excited: "It's counted! If you delay the meeting, you won't see me!"

The crowd booed loudly, saying that one of the scholar's jokes was not funny, and he had to drink a big bowl to see if he could really stand up.

Liu Xianglian immediately poured four bowls boldly, one of which was drunk on behalf of her brother-in-law.

As soon as Liu Hong Xiaodan came, the jokes must be put on hold for a while, and she had to sing a song to cheer up the fun.

Liu Xianglian refused to "show his ugliness alone", and forced everyone to sing, otherwise he would not make a sound.

The few are not afraid, who can't sing a few voices?Xue Pan is not left behind. He should have been illiterate in the original novel. At least the drinking order will not cause "a daughter is sad, but marrying a man is a tortoise".

In the midst of the clamor, I suddenly heard the bang of the Ding watch (nine o'clock in the evening).

Feng Weiqiu got up immediately and said that he was going to be on duty.These four may not be said to be Gaoliang dudes, because they will only be mixed into the fourteenth five-year period, and then they will be thrown by their parents into Wucheng soldiers and horses to practice.After getting married, there is a gap of two years for giving birth to a child. If you don't hurry up and give birth to a child, you will have to go to the battlefield.This dynasty said it was a grand event of peace, and the suppression of bandits, towns, borders, seas and borders all required troops.

According to the verdict of the Red Mansion, Wei Ruolan died in battle in Hunan (the Xiangjiang River passed away by Chu Yunfei). Fake Stone thought about this a little sadly, but the soldiers will definitely go to the battlefield, there is nothing they can do.

For a moment he thought of Gao E’s continuation, Gao Shusheng might be a sick scholar, Wei Ruolan died of illness, Baoqin’s father-in-law also died of illness, uh, he didn’t say he died of illness, but Mei Hanlin was only forty years old, so he couldn’t die of old age .

Baoyu paid homage to Mei Hanlin, and that rotten scholar was in high spirits. It is better to expect Baoqin's fiancé to die of illness than to expect him to die of illness, but the sick bastard would not die quickly!Speaking of which, Mei Hanlin is really dishonest, it's not that there is only one concubine, and he used the Xue family's lot of money to at least give a concubine who is in good health, so he is so deceitful.Alas, who made the merchant's status low?

Gossip aside.It is impossible for the fourth young master to take the little opera singer to watch the shift, so he ordered Xue Pan to take in Ruiguan Ouguan and explain to him to pick him up.

The female actress lives in the guest room, but Baoyu can't live because of her status, uh, it's unnecessary.Brother-in-law Liu is here, Liu Xianglian will get married in March next year, Xue's family will help take care of the yard early, although Tanchun's dowry furniture has not been moved yet, there is a place to live.

Liu Mansion is at the southeast corner of the Xue family mansion, halfway through the journey, the rain that has been boring for a whole day finally fell.

Liu Xianglian took her little brother-in-law and ran away, and followed closely without incident.Suddenly, a lantern flashed ahead—Chen Moyu and his parents, brother and sister-in-law came to welcome them with rain gear.

Thanks to his blessing, the Mo Yu family was released by Mrs. Wang. Well, none of the four generations of the Chen family are capable.It's Mo Yu, if it wasn't for the fake stone to top Shenying's waiter, what would a servant who plays with the little master be able to do?

And his grandparents, parents, brothers and sisters-in-law can't farm and spin, it can be said that they don't have the basic survival skills that the grassroots should have in this era, and the only thing they know is to serve the master. The government works as a servant.

She is a servant, not a slave who sells herself. Even if Liu Xianglian accepted Mo Yu as her apprentice, it is impossible for her to accept her apprentice's family as a slave.There is still a pair of siblings under Mo Yu. The brother and sister-in-law have already given birth to two children, and I don't know how many more will be added.With such a big family, if they were left outside, they would have no way of living when they ran out of An Jiayin.Fortunately, the Chen family is safe because of their incompetence, Tanchun handed over the deed, saying that after he leaves the cabinet, he will arrange them to work as waiters in shops or restaurants, and the Chen family is very dedicated to taking care of the vacant Liu residence .

Previously, Mo Yu didn't go to the banquet, but came to help clean up first. Now the rooms are all tall and clean with plain walls and candles.

After entering the room for a while, the hot water for bathing was brought up. Baoyu felt that the smell of wine and fat powder was suffocating, so he also rubbed the hair that had just been washed yesterday, which could be regarded as the breath.

Liu Xianglian moved much faster than him. Seeing that he was taking care of it, she brought over the hangover tea and blamed: "Brother Pan and I are taking the place of the wine, what do you drink? These boys, you just don't drink a glass, as long as you drink a glass , will make a fuss."

The fake stone's eyes are wide open: "Suddenly want to drink, suddenly feel depressed. Fenghua young man... on the battlefield..."

Liu Xianglian interrupted: "Everyone has their own way of life. How proud they are, who can spend a lot of money and buy another courtyard just for fun? Asking them to do other things may not be happy."

Baoyu nodded: "'The yellow sand wears a golden armor in a hundred battles, and it will not be returned until it breaks the Loulan'. They grew up listening to such poems when they were young, how could they think that "poor Wuding Riverside bones are still in the spring girl's dream." People'. I always don't understand, isn't it good to live well? Look around us, there are always people who have nothing to do and go on and on. Fang complained endlessly. After the incident, the scar healed in a blink of an eye and the pain was forgotten, and it happened again and again, and it has been like this for thousands of years."

"It's nothing to worry about!" Liu Xianglian breathed a sigh of relief, revealing her true face: "I don't know that much, I only know that if something really happens, you must pretend to be relaxed, and only worry about the country and the people when nothing happens!"

The fake stone is not happy: "I still feel sad for autumn and spring! To be honest, I like autumn rain, the wind is drizzling and the rain is drizzling. It is very interesting to watch the wind and rain through the doors and windows, as long as I am not walking in the rainy place. I don't know where Lian's second brother is. ? The rainy night on the post road and the homesickness..."

Liu Xianglian's cheeks were sour: "Don't worry about it, he is full of peach blossoms on the post road, and he is hugging a beauty right now."

The brother-in-law didn't cooperate, so Shitou couldn't bear the grief anymore, and turned to tell the truth: "The third brother Cong is the seed of studying, I think I'll let him take the exam next year, and he can get fame for taking care of common affairs. A scholar won't kneel when he sees an official."

Only Liu Xianglian with the title of Tongsheng has another merit in martial arts, and he doesn't need to kneel when he sees an official. Considering the difference between before and after he has achieved fame, he agrees with concern: "Take the test! Why not take the test if you can? Mo Yu, I want him too Going to take the written test (a good slave can't take the scientific test), after a year or two, I'm afraid I have nothing to teach him, let him be a small official, and he can also help the family. It's a pity that his brother and his two nephews It’s not good at all, at most you can be a registered disciple, let’s talk about it in two years.”

False Stone immediately felt the horror of population growth. There were few high-quality and low-quality ones. Mo Yu's parents were called one who was able to give birth. They gave birth to nine and survived four, and the second child, Mo Yu, had good understanding.

There are few people in Mingyan's family of hoeing medicine, but there is no end of life: Mingyan has one brother who picks medicine and one younger sister, and both fathers are capable stewards.Mingyan's eldest brother, Yu Da, is Jia Huan's "long follower", and shoulders the heavy responsibility of supervision entrusted by Mrs. Wang and Mr. Zheng.Hue Yao's younger sister, Chunxian, was promoted as one of Daiyu's eight maids last year, and was selected as a dowry maid by the Rong Mansion.There is not much hope for sweeping the red and the whole family: the mother is the wife who is in charge of Mrs. Wang's courtyard, and the father is the lord of the government. The younger brothers and sisters under him all have light errands in the mansion. It is not happy to let them be good citizens.

Seeing Baoyu's gloomy face, Liu Xianglian felt distressed. In his eyes, her brother-in-law was just a little one... Well, it's not that his eyesight is not good, the boy who is suffering from strokes, not to mention the difference of four years, just One year difference, the difference is also very big.

So he lectured with a straight face: "Worry all day long, be careful to become sad and sick, and not grow tall. Play chess! After playing a game, your hair is almost dry. Take a nap, wake up without any worries gone."

So the two idly knocked on the chess pieces and dropped the lanterns, and the sound of wind and rain outside the window became tighter and slower.Suddenly, a lamp exploded, and at some point, Jing An, who slipped in to serve her, quietly raised the scissors to cut the candle wick.

Inexplicably, a certain person only thought of a ballad that he couldn't remember the words, and randomly adapted it and hummed softly: "People are young, deep in the years. In the deep of the years, passing through wind and rain, passing through a period of sadness..."

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Some people don't want to grow up because they have someone behind them, and they don't want to take on the heavy responsibilities of adults.Those who have nothing to rely on behind them, or those who are on the verge of death like fake stones, wish to grow up overnight.Whether you want it or not, time goes by.

Heavy snow flutters and the year is approaching, and the court seals the official office and closes its doors.On this day, Baoyu greeted Jiamu with her fake father. It happened that Mrs. Wang was there, but the girls were not.The old lady mentioned Xichun's marriage and said that Mr. Liu Shu was good.

Baoyu was pleasantly surprised, and Mrs. Wang heaved a sigh of relief: Xichun's marriage is really difficult, Jia Zhen's reputation is one of them, and Xichun's temperament is twisted.Thirdly, if you order Mr. Liu Shu, although Xichun is a legitimate daughter, the dowry is limited.The dowry of the marriage is not too small, and suddenly there are more prostitutes, she is really troubled.

Mr. Zheng hesitated for a while, and said: "Yinquan is a good boy, but the fourth girl is still young, and we will get engaged after a new year."

"After a new year", that is, Xichun has completed 27 months of filial piety for his father, and it is not necessary to change the genealogy, but Mr. Zheng admires Jinshi very much and does not want to be abrupt.Everyone knew what he meant, and Xichun was really not in a hurry, so this matter was settled.

A certain one was very happy, please finish it, and immediately ran to the house in the snow, and then accidentally bumped into something...
