A Dream of Red Mansions Unexpected Visitors

Mrs. Xing has also been a little bored these past few days. After quarreling with Sister Feng, the two sides are no longer affectionate, but now that Sister Feng has left, she has left with Sister Qiao. Madam Xing only feels empty when she asks you about your health.Seeing that after Sister Feng left, all the power in the mansion was in the hands of Mrs. Wang, and she still didn't get any, so she pushed all the hatred on Mrs. Wang.

But it was time for another maidservant in the mansion to let it out. Aunt Zhao wanted to keep Caixia for Jia Huan. As soon as he rolled his eyes, he said that Baoyu had already been there, and Jia Zheng was naturally displeased.Thinking that no matter whether these things are true or not, as long as there are such rumors, it can be seen that Baoyu must not have studied hard.If this matter is true, I only need to ask Baoyu, my wife and old lady will definitely come out to top the vat, just say that it was given by the elders, what can I do, it is right to ask him about his homework.So I just told Aunt Zhao that this must be nonsense, but I should also ask Baoyu about her homework.

Fortunately, Xiao Que in Aunt Zhao's room has a good relationship with Baoyu, so she sent a letter.Hearing this, Baoyu felt as if Sun Dasheng had heard the magic spell, and immediately felt uncomfortable in all four limbs and five internal organs. After thinking about it, there was no other way, and he had read the book and prepared to examine it tomorrow.It’s just that there are too many books that I haven’t read on weekdays, how can I review them overnight, and all the maids stay with me so I don’t sleep. Baoyu is a pity, and he persuades one to go to sleep and another. In this way, How to get something.

Suddenly Jinxing Glass ran in from the back door and shouted: "It's not good, a person jumped off the wall!" When everyone heard about it, they hurriedly asked where it was, and they started to drink and searched everywhere. Qingwen Seeing that Baoyu was troubled by reading and had spent a whole night thinking about it, it might not be right tomorrow. I was about to come up with an idea for Baoyu to get rid of this difficulty. Pretending to be sick, just saying that I was bluffing." This remark hit Baoyu's heart, so it was spread that people from the previous night came and searched everywhere with lanterns, but there was no trace.It's just that these people in Yihong Court just wanted to make a big fuss, so they said that it was just a little bit better when Baoyu was frightened when he saw a black bear when he went out last time. No one showed up.As a last resort, everyone had to look around again.

The commotion lasted all night, but no one could be found, but the old lady, Jia Zheng and others had already been alarmed, and Jia Zheng naturally didn't dare to ask Baoyu about her homework.But Mother Jia was worried, and called the people from Yihong Courtyard to question her carefully. How could they dare to tell the truth? Besides, there was indeed someone who jumped off the wall. When talking about Dali, I only said that I was frightened by the figure.Jia Mu said: "I must have expected this to happen. It's a trivial matter to be careless everywhere at night. I'm afraid they are thieves and I don't know." They all accompany and wait on each other. After hearing what Jia Mu said, they all remain silent and have no answer.

Only since Tanchun has been in charge of the family affairs since Mrs. Wang has taken charge of the family affairs, his assistant is just a name. The people in the garden have made mistakes, and he has just been punished. Putting it back to work as an errand, my majesty disappeared, and I already knew that Madam Wang didn't agree with me going out with me, so I never thought of planning for myself.So he said to Jiamu: "Because our family has a lot of things recently, the people in the garden these days are much more presumptuous than before. Before that, everyone was stealing for a while, or when sitting at night, three or four people gathered together. , or throwing dice or fighting cards, small obstinacy, but to survive. Recently, there was a gambling game, and there was even a head of the game, or a big win or loss of [-] or [-] or [-]. Half a month ago, there was a Fighting and fighting."

After hearing this, Jia Mu hurriedly said, "Since you know, why didn't you come back to us earlier?" Tanchun didn't dare to offend Mrs. Wang openly, and said, "I didn't come back because I thought my wife had a lot of things to do and was uncomfortable for days. I just told my sister-in-law and the people in charge that I have been warned a few times, and I feel better recently." Mother Jia hurriedly said: "Your girl, how do you know the pros and cons of this? You are always playing for money, but you are afraid of disputes. Little do you know that if you play money at night, you can't keep from drinking, and if you eat wine, you can't avoid unlocking the door at will. It's not good to attract some thieves in the dead of night. Besides, there are girls in your garden, so you can't ignore it. How can it be forgiven lightly.”

Mother Jia wanted to investigate people, thanks to Mammy's lessons learned from the past, the housekeepers naturally did not dare to neglect, but everyone relied on each other for a while, and finally the truth came to light. As a result, many decent masters were found out, including Yingchun's wet nurse. Asked for love, but Yingchun said to herself: "She knows she is my nurse, so she should know the rules even more. Now that she has committed a crime knowingly, how can I intercede for her?" Everyone looked at each other, did not expect Yingchun to say such a thing Instead, Jia Mu nodded and said: "This is the girl from our Duke's mansion. These nurses have grown up with their masters. They are a bit decent, but they are even more presumptuous. No matter how decent they are, they are still slaves. No matter how close you are Hou is also the master, whoever wronged the master to show respect to the servants." Ordered people to push out those gamblers, beat them twenty big boards, and drove them out.As soon as this remark came out, those somewhat respectable servants who were frightened no longer dared to trust Tan Chun and others, and the words that cats and dogs in front of the elders should also be respected by young masters never appeared again.

Mrs. Xing was very pleased with Mrs. Wang when she saw such a big ugliness, but Mother Jia was angry, and no one dared to leave.Mrs. Xing thought that she hadn't had a good time in the Grand View Garden, so she wandered around in the garden. As soon as she arrived at the gate of the garden, she saw a little girl in Jiamu's room named Silly Elder Sister walking towards her with a smile in her hand. The red, willow and green things, looking down, just walking, accidentally ran into Mrs. Xing, looked up and saw.Mrs. Xing then asked, "What good thing have you got? You are so happy." After a while, she saw that it was a ten brocade spring sachet. She was shocked, and when she asked, she realized that it was in the garden. behind the rocks.Mother Jia punished those who gambled and drank like this just because she was afraid that such a thing would happen in the garden. The little girls didn't understand the old lady's deep meaning, how could women like herself not understand.Now that Sister Feng is not in the garden, it must not be their husband and wife, it must be the maids and others in the garden, this is a big deal.

Mrs. Xing said to the silly elder sister: "Hurry up and tell someone. This is not a good thing, even you will be beaten to death. It's because you are a fool all the time, so don't mention it in the future." The silly elder sister was scared when she heard this She turned yellow and said, "Don't dare anymore." Kowtowed, and left in a daze. When Mrs. Xing looked back, they were all girls, and it was inconvenient to hand them over, so she stuffed them in her sleeves.

Mrs. Xing was going to reply to Mrs. Jia in secret, but after she went, she saw that Mrs. Jia was still treating Mrs. Wang in a good manner, thinking that her accompanying room told her Mrs. Wang to take things from the old lady's room and put them in the government. I didn't get any benefit, so I went to get something, but the second wife kept complaining.For a moment, the evil came to the gallbladder, still holding the sachet in his sleeve, and after it was gone, he went to Mrs. Wang's room.

Mrs. Wang said: "Why did my sister come to me, but what's the matter?"

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Xing threw the sachet out of her sleeve, and said with a sneer, "What do you think it is?" Mrs. Wang was startled when she saw it, and asked quickly, "Where did my sister get it?" Mrs. Xing said: " I only think of you as a careful person, and the old lady calls you this house, not my serious general's wife. How about you, is this the housekeeper? This thing is placed on the rocks in the garden in broad daylight, if not I saw it, there were those little girls who picked it up, and they went out and said that it was picked in the garden, outsiders know, do you want this life or face?"

How could Mrs. Wang expect that Mrs. Xing, who she usually doesn't pay attention to at all, would suffer such a thing for herself. If the old lady knew about it, she would be angry about the gambling before, and she would never say anything about it.So he said: "For a family like ours, how can such things spread to the outside world? If you don't want to be famous, you have to visit quietly and calmly, so that you can be sure. Because a lot of people were offended, Zhou Rui's wife, Wang's daughter-in-law, and other four or five people who were close and unable to talk were placed in the garden on the grounds of gambling. Now they have too many maids, and they can't keep the people's congress. I have a big heart, make troubles, wait for something to happen, and regret it. If you cut off the leather for no reason now, not only the girls will be wronged and troubled, but even my wife and I will have a hard time. Why don't you take this opportunity, and in the future, everyone who is older, or Some of them gritted their teeth and found it hard to deal with them, so they took a wrong choice and kicked them out to be matched with others. On the one hand, they can keep everything else, and on the other hand, they can save some expenses.”

Mrs. Xing sneered and said: "Then Zhou Rui's family takes care of things in the garden on weekdays, and if it happens like this, she has something to do with it. It's my companion who should do this kind of thing. Anyway, I never do it on weekdays. It must have nothing to do with entering the garden."

Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth and agreed, and said: "these girls in the family are only a little stronger than other girls. In total, there are only two or three girls who look like human beings, and there are four or five little girls in the rest. , is actually a little ghost in the temple. Not to mention far away, just say how pampered and pampered my sister-in-law was when she was not out of the cabinet, how precious she was, and she looked like a rich lady. Miss Lin is now also four big maids, There are about ten second-class maids, and there are too many little girls. Now they have to be cut off, not only I can't bear it, but I'm afraid the old lady may not agree."

Mrs. Xing was not fooled, and said: "Miss Lin's maids are hired by the Lin family's money. It's none of our business to spend as much as they want. There are not many maids in our family on weekdays. Those who steal, rape and play tricks will naturally make up after they are expelled. But the girl in Yihong Courtyard, who has taken care of all the three girls, I think we should cut off the girl there."

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Wang was so angry that she just thought that there were indeed some seductive goblins in Yihong Courtyard, and she would just chase them away, so she felt relieved and ordered a few companions to come in and tell them reason.Finally, when they were asked to do something, Mrs. Xing said: "You guys are naturally headed by Wang Shanbao's family. If you have something to do, you don't need to go back to your wife, just tell her first." Those people hurriedly looked at Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Wang could only swallow her anger and nodded.
