Violation of the Red Chamber and Daiyu

After Baoyu cultivated for a while, he recovered and still wandered in the garden.On August [-]th, the two prefectures of Rongning and Ningxia each invited opera troupes to sing operas. Mother Jia took all the sisters to watch the moon and talk, which was quite lively.Under the guidance of Nanny Zhang, Daiyu sent a ceremony gift to the palace, and the palace also sent Nanny Li to return the gift, and brought a letter from the little princess.Nanny Li said: "Our princess originally wanted to invite the girl to stay for a few days, but Mrs. Xiao's condition is getting worse day by day, and the princess really can't get away from her body, I'm afraid she won't be able to take good care of her." Daiyu asked Mrs. Xiao's health again, and Li Mammy just shook her head and said nothing.

After seeing off Nanny Li, Mrs. Wang asked, "Miss, who is Mrs. Xiao that this nanny is talking about?" Daiyu said, "It's the sister of the concubine's natal family." Mother Jia said, "But it's her. , she is also a hard-working person, she was widowed at a young age; it was so easy to bring up her only son, and because her son had not married in the military camp all year round; It's heavy." For a while, Mrs. Xing Wang also felt emotionally, and Li Wan felt the same way.Baoyu and all the sisters hurriedly said some happy words, which made Jia Mu and others happy again.

Daiyu went back to the house and read the letter written by the little princess. It was indeed about her aunt, so Daiyu wrote another letter to comfort the little princess.Because of Jia Zheng, he was dismissed as an undergrad, and he took office on August [-]th.

Since Jia Zheng left, Baoyu is even more at ease, messing around in the garden every day, and even less and less writing.One day Daiyu was sitting in the room when she saw Tanchun's waiter coming, holding a post saying she was inviting Daiyu to the poetry meeting.Daiyu thought that there was nothing to do today, so she went to the garden.

When I arrived in the garden, I saw Li Wan, Baoyu, Xiangyun, Baochai and the others. Seeing Daiyu coming, Li Wan said, "I'm just waiting for you, but you will be punished." Daiyu said, "Good sister-in-law, please forgive me." Leave me alone, I'm not good at composing poems, just come and watch the excitement." All the sisters laughed for a while and said, "Co-author, we are your excitement." Daiyu hurriedly apologized.

The sisters had their own names again, and because Xiangyun lived in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, where there were the most bamboos, she named her Cuizhuyou; Daiyu thought of the beautiful Jinghong dance she had seen Zhen Huan dance before crossing, so she gave it to herself. The name is Jinghong Fairy.The rest of the people are called by the names in the original book.Li Wan became the president of the company, Yingchun, and Xichun became the vice-president, in charge of limiting rhymes and transcribing.

Daiyu said: "I don't know how to write poems. Why don't I come to be the invigilator and study the top female scholars?" Baochai said, "It's just poetry. Sister Lin is really narrow." They didn't show their poetic talents in front of them, so they didn't force Daiyu any more.

Seeing someone carrying two pots of white begonias into the garden, Li Wan asked everyone to write poems on the theme of begonias. In the end, Baochai's poems were the most outstanding, followed by Xiangyun's.Everyone also agreed that the second and sixteenth of each month would be the opening day of the poetry club.After playing around for a while, everyone dispersed.

The next day, Baochai's servant girl came to invite again, saying that Baochai had prepared a crab feast in the garden, and invited everyone to enjoy the sweet-scented osmanthus.Daiyu followed Jiamu into the garden.But it turned out that it was Baochai who arranged the banquet at the Ouxiangxie. You can see the sweet-scented osmanthus under the hillside and face the water, which is very bright.Jia Mu also said that the place she chose was good, and praised Baochai for being meticulous and thinking about everything properly.

Daiyu only came here today to eat crabs, so she didn't go to her sisters, but stayed with Jiamu.You don't need others to serve you, you just eat it with your own hands.Daiyu broke off one for Jia Mu first, and peeled the crab meat for her to eat.Jia Mu said, "Leave it alone and eat your own. What are you doing, Sister Feng?" Sister Feng said, "My ancestors don't want me to be lazy." Daiyu no longer cared about Jia Mu. I ate by myself.

When Daiyu was eating happily, she heard Jia Mu say: "Yu'er, eat less, the crab is cold, be careful of stomach pain." Love the crab" flavor. Aunt Xue also persuaded: "Don't worry, old lady, I will let the girl drink some hot wine later, and make sure everything is fine." " Jia Mu said: "You little monkey, that's all. I don't care if my stomach hurts. "

Daiyu ate three more before she felt she had enough. Aunt Xue poured Daiyu a cup of warm wine and said, "Girl, drink some, be careful that your stomach really hurts." Daiyu thanked Aunt Xue quickly, Then after a few sips of wine, they talked with Jia Mu and the others to enjoy the fish.

Mrs. Wang talked with Jia Mu and Jia Mu for a while, then looked at the sky, and advised Jia Mu to go back, fearing that Jia Mu had just eaten crabs and caught the wind.Jia Mu also felt a little sleepy, so she said to Xiangyun, "Look at your elder brother Bao, let him eat less." She also told Xiangyun and Baochai to eat less crabs.Daiyu also left the garden with Jiamu.

Jia Mu asked, "Why don't you play with your sisters in there?" Daiyu said, "They appointed to write poems again. I don't like that at all, so I won't just sit there. It's better to come back and sleep. Well." Jia Mu said: "You, just be lazy." Then she said to Dongqing who was following Daiyu: "Look at your girl, don't let her sleep for too long." Dongqing agreed, and Jia Mu let Daiyu go. Yu went back.

In the evening, Daiyu said hello to Jiamu's room. Seeing the sisters in the Grand View Garden and Baoyu talking beside Jiamu, seeing Daiyu coming, Jiamu asked, "But sleep well, does your stomach hurt?" Yudao: "I'm fine, grandma, don't worry." Sister Feng said: "My ancestor, you should also care about me. I have been busy all afternoon, and I am still hungry." Jiamu laughed and said: " You rascal, you are asking for a reward. I know you have worked hard, let Yuanyang find you some good things later." Sister Feng said: "You are really my good old ancestor."

While all the people were talking and laughing, someone came to Sister Feng and said that Grandma Liu was here, and that she would go home if she couldn't wait for Sister Feng.After hearing this, Jia Mu asked who it was, and Sister Feng said the identity of Grandma Liu.Jia Mu then said, "I'm just thinking of talking to an old man who has been around for a long time. I don't want to invite my old relatives in." Then someone went to invite Grandma Liu.

For a while, Ping'er came in with Grandma Liu.Grandma Liu paid homage to Jia Mu first and said, "greetings to the old birthday star." Jia Mu asked her to move a stool for her to sit on, and asked her how old she was and how she was in health.Grandma Liu answered one by one.Jia Mu was very happy and rewarded Baner again.Sister Feng took Grandma Liu to dinner again, washed her and changed her clothes.Fu asked her to talk to Jia Mu again.

Grandma Liu talked with Jia Mu for a while.Seeing Daiyu at a glance, she said: "It's okay, the eldest girl. I haven't seen you in the past few months. The eldest girl has become more and more picky. She is really like a fairy." Among the girls here, which one is not prettier than me." Grandma Liu said: "No, I thought I was in the fairy palace." Mother Jia said: "Old relative, when have you seen my granddaughter?"

Grandma Liu said: "The last time I came, the eldest girl was talking to my aunt, and she gave me ten taels of silver. She is really a Bodhisattva." Jia Mu said, "My granddaughter is kind-hearted." Daiyu said: "In the eyes of the ancestors, I am only good at this." Everyone laughed.

Grandma Liu told everyone some interesting stories, and the sisters were very curious about it.Later, because of the fire in the stables in the south courtyard, Mother Jia no longer asked Grandma Liu to talk about firewood.Grandma Liu said something about gods to Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang.Later, when Jia Mu saw that it was getting dark, she let everyone go back to their rooms to rest.
