A close look at the Red House

Time flies, and it is more than a year in a blink of an eye.The famous Grand View Garden was finally completed when Daiyu was looking forward to it day and night.

This year, the Jia family spent money like running water.Except for Erfang Jiazheng and his wife, all those who participated in the construction of the garden not only managed to get rid of poverty and become prosperous, but some even got so rich that they could ride a crane down to Yangzhou.Among them, Jia Lian's couple and Lai Da's family are the most.Mrs. Wang's head doesn't seem to be short of strings at ordinary times, but when it comes to critical moments, it always keeps pumping.Just say it.The big second room and the second room have become like that, and you dare to use the people from the big room to help you build a garden.Let’s not talk about whether you use it carefully or not, even if you sell it at a low price, you can’t stand it.Look, the matter that can be solved with 80 taels, but with the help of these people, well, more than 100 million taels went in.Is this being taken advantage of, or is it being taken advantage of?

After the garden is completed, it needs to be furnished everywhere.By the time the garden was finally cleaned up and ready to pick up, it was already the ninth day of the Lunar New Year.The past few days have been busy day and night, and the year has never been easy.But let alone the New Year, now the whole family is waiting for the [-]th day of the first lunar month.

Daiyu has been keeping her filial piety for half a year.In the original book, Lin Daiyu participated in Yuanchun's family-visiting activities.I always thought that Daiyu was out of filial piety.But I didn't expect that Lin Feng's version of Daiyu hadn't come out of the filial piety yet.Therefore, Daiyu can only wait for the arrival of Lin Zhixiao's family to talk about the events before and after the concubine Yuan visits her relatives.

In fact, years ago, Mother Jia sent someone to invite Daiyu to Jia's house.But Daiyu thought, although the scene was rare, but in order to see it for a while, she kowtowed and was punished to stand.Not worth it.I remember that in the original book, Mother Jia led all the female family members of the Jia family to stand outside the gate and wait for Yuan Chun to drive.Who knew that I stood there for nearly a day during the day.It was only in Yuanchun that people spread the word that they only left the palace at night.This big winter is winter in the north.Daiyu will not suffer that crime.

Thinking of this, Daiyu told the visitor that it was inconvenient to go out during the filial piety period.After the person left, he found a congratulatory gift that was more valuable in ancient times, but not a big deal in modern times, and planned to send it to Zijuan on the [-]th, and then stay overnight, waiting for Yuanchun. return.Or make a live broadcast for Daiyu.

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

After breakfast on the 15th, Daiyu sat on the kang by the window, while listening to Zijuan talking about the scene of visiting relatives yesterday, while thinking about Baochai’s birthday mentioned in the original book.I remember what was said in Yuan Zhu that Baochai should be celebrating his 17th birthday this year.But I don't know if it was Daiyu's night in the capital for three years or other reasons, this year Baochai is a full 13-year-old girl.Daiyu is [-] years old and Baoyu is fourteen.They are not too old, but Baochai was considered an old lady in ancient times.I don't know what to think, but I really only have my eyes on Jia Baoyu?So a weak person who can't afford to eat whatever he eats and what to do?

Daiyu couldn't figure it out, so she didn't think about it.But Daiyu did remember, Baochai's birthday was like an actor.Although I don't know if this thing will happen after the butterfly has done so many things.But you have to do something so that you don't suffer yourself.At first, I thought that if Shi Xiangyun really dared to follow the original book, then Daiyu would definitely go up and give her two slaps.But now I have no way to go to the scene because of my filial piety, so in order to prevent myself from being disadvantaged, I can only think of a way to get out of it.

"Zijuan, go and call the second steward Lin." Daiyu interrupted Zijuan.Although Zijuan was puzzled by his master who was still fine just now, his face turned dark when he spoke.But Zijuan obediently went out and called the second butler Lin.

Not to mention that starting from this day, the housekeeper of the Lin family brought Zicuckoo all over the capital to find someone.It only said that Sister Feng discussed with Jia Lian about Xue Baochai's birthday. Wang Xifeng said: "21 is Sister Xue's birthday, and the old lady only gave 20 taels to do it once. Do you think 20 taels is enough for wine, or enough for drama? " Jia Lian said: "The old lady's face is really...! Forget it, no matter how the Xue family is, Miss Xue is also your second cousin. Let's pay for the poor money." Sister Feng said: "I think so too. No matter what, I don't have a good-looking face. I heard the old lady say yesterday that when I asked about everyone's birthdays, sister Xue replied that her birthday was on the 21st. Guess what the old lady said?" "As she spoke, Sister Feng laughed by herself. "How to say?" Jia Lian asked curiously seeing Sister Feng's appearance.Sister Feng suppressed a smile and said: "The old lady said that Bao girl has grown up so much, she must be 15 years old. Today I will pay you 20 taels to celebrate your birthday. Although this year is not a full birthday, it is also a good year. Oh, it's so ridiculous. Bao girl is 17 years old after her birthday this year, and the old lady still opened her eyes and said she was 15 years old. Didn't you see the faces of my two aunts, which are blue and white. Draw a picture with the fourth girl like a paint dish from

Hearing this, Jia Lian couldn't help laughing.After thinking for a while, he said: "This is because the old lady disagrees with the marriage between Baoyu and Xue's family. The second wife borrowed a lot of money from the Xue family behind the old lady's back to build a family-friendly garden. Ha ha, the second wife is also a loving girl Yes, no, for the girl to go back to her mother's house, I sold all my sons for money." After thinking about it, he said: "Since the old lady said that it is the year of reaching the bar, then it is the year of reaching the bar. You can prepare according to the year of reaching the bar. The birthday party is over." Hearing what Jia Lian said, Sister Feng smiled and said, "Okay, I will do as you say." After Sister Feng and Mrs. Wang separated, Mrs. Wang asked Aunt Xue to tell Sister Feng more than once.Therefore, Aunt Xue, mother and daughter, also pick and choose Sister Feng.It was rare to encounter such a slap in the face today, and Sister Feng couldn't hold back her joy.

On the 21st, Jia Mu's inner courtyard set up a homely small stage, and set up a small homely singing troupe.Jia's mother also held several family banquets in the upper room. There was no outsider, only Aunt Xue, Shi Xiangyun and Baochai were guests, and the others were her own people.

Everything else is the same as the original.In the middle of the day, Mother Jia ordered people to act as clowns, as the original book said. Xiao Dan and the two of them were brought in. When they looked closely, they became more and more pitiful.Sister Feng said with a smile, "this child looks like a person. You can't see it anymore." Baochai looked closely, and his face changed greatly.Baoyu also nodded, glanced at Baochai and dared not say anything.Xiangyun then said, "I know, I know, it looks like Miss Xue." After hearing this, Baoyu took a quick look at Xiangyun.After hearing this, everyone looked carefully, laughed, and said, "It really looks like him!" They dispersed for a while.

That's right, this person is like Baochai from the Xue family.Daiyu asked Lin's second housekeeper and Zijuan to search for all the famous opera troupes in the capital.I really found one like Daiyu.The second housekeeper Lin hurriedly bought the man back and placed him in the village.Another one like Baochai was found in the troupe.After confirming the troupe, he told Lin Zhixiao's family about the troupe.Before Baochai's birthday, the Jia family will invite the magic troupe back.

After the birthday party that day, Miss Bao of the Xue family fell ill again.This time I still committed an old disease.Originally, it was a slap in the face for the old lady to celebrate her birthday.The girl is obviously seventeen out of ten, but you always say that she is fifteen.Cheng, the age of the girl's family is not easy to talk about, and you are always old, we admit it.Anyway, Baoyu's own mother also signed a contract of sale for Baoyu, so if you don't agree, there is nothing you can do.Unless you take money to redeem people back.But you shouldn't spend 20 taels of silver for someone's birthday, it's wine and drama, there is no one in Jia's land that can pay 80 taels of silver?Didn't you slap someone in the face and stomp on that face?We also tolerate these things, whoever lets people live under the eaves has to bow their heads.But you absolutely shouldn't let Shi Xiangyun out to bite people.Baochai was lying on the bed so angry that her stomach hurt and her liver hurt.While telling myself that I can't think about it anymore, I just can't stop in my mind.This Jia family is really deceiving people too much.It can't be left alone.If that's the case, after they get married in the future, they still don't know how to abuse her.

"Ying'er, go and invite mom over here." Baochai made up her mind and said to Ying'er beside the bed.

After Aunt Xue arrived, Baochai drove Yinger out.He whispered to Aunt Xue: "Mom, the old lady is bullying too much. My daughter really can't bear it, and I can't bear it anymore. Tomorrow, you take the IOU signed by your aunt to ask for the bill. Just say that brother is going out to sell goods. "

Aunt Xue was a little reluctant, and said to Baochai: "My son, this is not good. Your aunt doesn't have any money. Besides, I just went to ask for the bill tomorrow after this incident. Did you come here for today's matter? Our family borrowed money from his family, not for your marriage, if the quarrel is too stiff, won't you be troubled when you marry in the future. "

"But my daughter just can't swallow this breath." Baochai said angrily.

"My son, bear with it for now. You will marry into Jia's family in the future. It won't be too late to have another attack." Aunt Xue looked at Baochai like this and said distressedly.

In the original book, it is Daiyu who is angry and humiliated by others.Mrs. Jia used her birthday things to the Xue family, and Xue Baochai was the son.The Xue family, through Sister Feng, used Shi Xiangyun to vent all their anger on Daiyu.At that time, Daiyu had no one to rely on, and she didn't even have the confidence to get angry in public.Being slapped in the face, he could only quietly leave the table and hide.How pathetic and pathetic!And Shi Xiangyun, the person who said the wrong thing, can still make people pack up and go back to the historian's house angrily, but what about Daiyu, where can Daiyu go?Daiyu could only swallow all the bitterness.After dawn, he still pretends to be fine and continues to live in Jia's house.

Not to mention how Baochai was slapped in the face on his birthday, and he was so depressed.It is only said that the eunuch Jia Yuanchun came to Rongguo Mansion to issue an edict, ordering Baochai and other sisters to live in the garden and not to be locked up, and Baoyu was still ordered to go in to study.This decree can be regarded as pushing the Jia family to the forefront of the storm again.

In ancient times, men and women were heavily guarded against each other. Jia Yuanchun asked his brothers who were 15 years old and older, who were about to get married, and cousins ​​of the opposite sex who had grown into girls to live together in the family-friendly garden, which is similar to the modern dormitory where men and women live together. up.

Come on, nothing more to say.The girl from the Jia family will never be able to get married at all.

The author has something to say:

This chapter, Baochai Seventeen, is after the birthday.

Bao Dai's age was before her birthday.

Daiyu began to observe filial piety in September when she was 12 years old, and it has only been a year and a half since she visited her relatives.
