A Dream of Red Mansions Unexpected Visitors

It is said that since Jia Yuanchun was lucky enough to visit the relatives' villa that day, he was rewarded by the emperor, and he felt very proud.Another order was passed down to let Tanchun copy all the inscriptions of that day one by one, and after sending them to the palace, he arranged them in order and described their pros and cons. For engraving, it is an elegant event through the ages. Since then, the Xingqin Villa has been called the Grand View Garden.

I also thought that after my own luck, Jia Zheng must respectfully block it and dare not let people in to disturb him.There are a few sisters who can write poems and poems in the family, why not order them to move in, and live up to such a beautiful scenery, besides, even the emperor praised these sisters, outsiders would not feel that it would damage the dignity of the royal family if they knew about it.

It's just that when I told the emperor that these poems were made by the sisters, the emperor didn't know that Baoyu was among them.It would be extremely inappropriate to let Baoyu move in, but if he is only left to live outside, I'm afraid he will feel too lonely and not happy, and Mrs. Jia Muwang is also worried, so he must be allowed to live in the garden.Forget it, Baoyu is still young now, he is only eleven or twelve years old, let him live in it for two years, and when he grows up, he will naturally let him move out.After thinking about it, he ordered the eunuch Xia Shouzhong to come to Rongguo Mansion to issue an edict, ordering Baochai and others to just live in the garden and not to be locked up, and ordered Baoyu to go in with him to study.

After Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang received the order, they went back and forth to Ming Jia's mother, sent people in to clean up everywhere, and installed curtains and bed curtains.Others can still feel comfortable after hearing this, but Baoyu can't help but be happy when he hears this decree.Just as he was planning with Jiamu, he wanted this and got that, so he was called by his father to give him a scolding.It turns out that Jia Zheng is an old-fashioned man by nature.The factor comes from the fact that he thinks he is a learned person, but he is favored by the Ministry of Industry Lang Zhong, who thinks that he is underappreciated, so he wants his children to enter the imperial examination to prove himself.He also believes that a filial son is born under the stick, a strict father and a loving mother, and he has never had a good face towards Baoyu.Baoyu was naturally extremely frightened, and as expected, he was called to reprimand him.Thinking that Baoyu would go to Jiamu's side later, it would not be too long to delay, so he reprimanded: "What are you doing here? Go to the old lady soon, she loves you for nothing." After Baoyu came out, After wiping off his sweat hurriedly, Jin Chuan'er, the big maid beside Mrs. Wang, grabbed him and said, "I still have fragrant rouge on my lips. Do I want to eat it or not?" Baoyu stuck out her tongue and hurried away. .

Going back to Jiamu, after returning to the matter, seeing Daiyu was there, he asked her, "Where do you live?"

Daiyu was thinking about this matter in her heart, and when Baoyu asked her, her grandmother also looked at herself and smiled, and said, "I think Xiaoxiang Pavilion is good in my heart, and I love those few poles of bamboo hidden by a curved railing, which is more quiet than other places. It’s just that sister Qingxuan said that the bamboos there are gloomy, which is not good for my health. Instead, she advised me to live in Zilingzhou, saying that it is spacious and bright, and has a fragrance of flowers. There are many wing rooms next to it, so you can make some for me on weekdays. Medicinal diet, I just find it too troublesome."

Baoyu said: "I love that Yihong Courtyard. I pointed out that my sister lived in Xiaoxiang Pavilion. We are close and quiet, but I forgot to consider your body. You really deserve to be beaten. My sister still lives in Zilingzhou." Well, it’s just a little far away from Yihong Courtyard where I live.”

After hearing this, Jia's mother quickly persuaded her, "You can do nothing else. It's just that the girl's body is not a trivial matter, and she should pay attention to it. Well, the Xiaoxiang Pavilion is reserved for you. In summer, you can live there for a few days. Zilingzhou probably lives here."

It turned out that Jia's mother had already figured out that in this garden, Baoyu must live in Yihongyuan, the largest remaining one is Hengwuyuan, and the nearest to Baoyu is Xiaoxiang Pavilion.It's just that she still loves her only granddaughter very much. It's fine if she hears that Daiyu's health is not good, and seeing that Daiyu herself originally wanted to live in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, it can be seen that the relationship between the two Yu'er is very good.That being the case, it doesn't matter if you live close or not.It's just that I still leave it to Daiyu, and I don't want Baochai to live so close to Baoyu.

But Baoyu was still thinking about it and said, "It's better to be far away from my sister, or I'll live somewhere close to her."

The mandarin duck next to him heard this, and hurriedly said: "This garden is only three and a half miles long. No matter how far it is, I think you can get there, Baoyu. Could it be that Miss Lin lives farther away, so you don't want to go to her?"

Baoyu said: "That's true, sister, don't worry, I will definitely go to find you."

It turned out that everyone in the mansion knew that the best place in the garden was Yihong Courtyard. Mrs. Wang and Jia Mu would not let anyone live in it except Baoyu. If Baoyu moved away, wouldn't it be a big mess?Yuanyang is Jiamu's best maidservant, who understands her best, so she immediately stops Baoyu. Sure enough, seeing the old lady smiling at her, she quickly nodded and retreated.

Mrs. Wang heard that Daiyu lived in Zilingzhou and occupied the Xiaoxiang Pavilion again, she immediately said to Aunt Xue angrily: "Look, look, what is it like? She is only a junior, and she deserves to occupy two She even took the place closest to my Baoyu. She is really Jia Min’s good daughter, she was at odds with me when she was alive, and she still has to find such a debt collector to rob my son when she is dead.”

After listening to Mrs. Wang's words, Aunt Xue knew that Mrs. Wang disliked Daiyu very much. The marriage of a daughter here is decided by her parents, not by her grandmother. She is more confident that her daughter will marry into Jia's mansion, so She was not angry, and said to Mrs. Wang: "We just let her pick first for the sake of the emperor. No matter how you do it, it can't change that you are the mother of the empress, Baoyu's mother."

Mrs. Wang was still angry, but there was nothing she could do. This dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, so no matter what, she couldn't disobey her elders. Forget about Baoyu's marriage, let's see who can delay who.In the end, he hated Daiyu even more.

On the second day, everyone had chosen their houses. The Sanchun sisters knew that they could not choose Xiaoxiang Pavilion and Hengwuyuan, so Xue Baochai lived in Hengwuyuan, Lin Daiyu lived in Zilingzhou and Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and Jia Yingchun lived in Zhuijin Building, Tanchun lived in Qiushuangzhai, Xichun lived in Liaofengxuan, Li Shi lived in Daoxiang Village, and Baoyu lived in Yihong Courtyard.In each place, there are two old mothers and four maids. In addition to the maids accompanying each nanny, there are also those who are in charge of cleaning.

Mrs. Wang, because Daiyu's servant girls' deeds of prostitution are not in her hands, just wanted to intervene with a few people to go to Daiyu's side. When she asked Sister Feng for the deeds, Sister Feng said: "That girl Qingxuan has already asked for it. Now the people around Sister Lin are all issuing their own monthly certificates, asking me for a body deed, can I not give it?"

After Mrs. Wang left, Ping'er wondered: "Grandma, when did you send the deeds over? Didn't you just pick those girls?"

Sister Feng sneered and said: "The day before yesterday, we didn't know that the second wife didn't really love me, so I went back to my mother's house and got someone to treat me. Now I know that I have nothing but my eldest sister in the past three years. What's going on, the dowry that my good aunt added to me when I got married, the set of pastels worth thousands of dollars is actually easy to prevent pregnancy, even if you are pregnant, it is easy to miscarry." After finishing speaking, in this weekday The strong person's eyes were already red, and he said again: "I just can't make her proud now, she is not kind to me, why should I think about everything for her! We are going back to the big house in the future, and tomorrow you will make me housekeeper Make a list of the dowry that was paid at that time, and I will ask her to settle the score."

The next day, Sister Feng went to Mrs. Wang and said, "Auntie, I can't take care of this house anymore. Look, I've only paid for this in such a short time to go in. I'm going to take care of it. The dowry is gone."

Mrs. Wang was a little impatient, but she still said to Sister Feng kindly: "My good boy, I know your hard work. When the rent comes up in the future, I will pay you back first, okay?"

Unexpectedly, the method that usually works is not effective. Sister Feng cried: "For people like us, we can't use it to make up for it. We have to use the dowry of the granddaughter-in-law's generation. My wife said it will be there after the year. After waiting for such a long time, not only did I not get it back, but I also filled in more. If it doesn’t work, I will go to the old lady.”

Mrs. Wang was frightened now. It turned out that Mother Jia knew that she was a bit greedy, but she didn't know that she even sold a lot of land for her ancestral house.Mother Jia felt sorry for her youngest son, thinking that he had no title, so she indulged her greed towards Mrs. Wang, but she didn't know that she had sold the ancestral land. If she knew that she had sold the ancestral land, she would definitely make her spit out the money. .

He said to Sister Feng: "I never said that I would not pay you back. I am such an impatient girl. Forget it, I will use my private money to cover it for you first, and I will give you another 1000 taels of silver. In the future, I will pay you back." Just make up the rent." Even though she said this, Mrs. Wang also knew that the money would definitely not come back.My teeth itch with hatred.

Sister Feng accepted it when she saw it was good, took the money and left.It's just that in the future, he will obey Mrs. Wang's words, and if he encounters someone who takes money, he will ask his servants to find her, which will make Mrs. Wang miserable.It's just that Mrs. Wang herself is really not expected to be a housekeeper, and there is an old lady on top to support Sister Feng, so she endured it.

But Sister Feng went to the eldest room every day from the next day, just to give Mrs. Xing some worthless gifts, and asked her eldest sister to play with Mrs. Xing.Mrs. Xing loves silver first, and secondly, she has no children. Even though she didn't like Sister Feng at first, she gradually began to really love her eldest sister, and she even had a good look towards Sister Feng.Although Jia Amnesty was lustful and confused, he was just such a son as Jia Lian, so he was naturally happy to see his daughter-in-law begin to be filial to him.

So not many days later, the relationship between Sister Feng and Da Fang has improved much, Mrs. Wang was angry but it was hard to stop her, her decent daughter-in-law gets along with her mother-in-law, what right does my aunt have to stop her, thinking: " Is it not my own

The daughter-in-law who gave birth to her own son turned to her husband at the critical moment, (I don't even look at how I treat Sister Feng). "So I look forward to the arrival of my own daughter-in-law even more in my heart, and I get closer to Baochai, and often talk to her.
