A Dream of Red Mansions Unexpected Visitors

Looking at the Lantern Festival, since the eighth day of the first lunar month, eunuchs have come out to look at the direction first: where to change clothes, where to sit, where to receive gifts, where to have a banquet, and where to retire. There are also inspecting local prime ministers to guard against eunuchs Waiting, brought many little eunuchs out, closed the guards everywhere, and blocked the staff instructing Jia's house where to retreat, where to kneel, where to eat, where to make announcements, and various rituals were different.

Everyone was dizzy in a hurry, but Sister Feng told Jia's mother that Lin Daiyu could not attend because she wanted to honor her father's filial piety.The old lady became anxious when she heard it. She knew that Daiyu was not a good wife candidate in Mrs. Wang's heart. In the past, because Lin Ruhai was a third-rank official, she could not show it in words, and could not express her objection. Now Yuan Chun has become a virtuous concubine. , I can't easily use the big hat of filial piety to overwhelm her. If she invites the mother's will, I have no way to object.It's all this wicked woman. I originally thought that Baochai would enter the palace to choose a princess to serve as a student. With such a good looks, the four major families are connected and related. If there is anything that can't be selected, it was quietly erased by the second family. Short-sighted, since ancient times, scholars, farmers, businessmen, even if they add an emperor character, it is nothing. Baoyu is born with a piece of strange jade, which is a great fortune. Or, if Baochai enters the mansion, Jia's family will become their royal family's world.After thinking about it, I hurriedly sent someone to find Daiyu.

When Daiyu came, Mother Jia hugged her and said with a smile, "My son, what a kindness it is for your mother to visit you. How can you not see her?"

Daiyu said: "Daddy has gone. As a child, how can I miss him? I dreamed of Daddy every day, thinking that he only had so much time with me before he died, and that he would never be able to repay his parents in this life." Kindness, how can we not be filial for father and father for the sake of family visits? Besides, nowadays saints rule the world with filial piety, and family visitation is a grand event in the mansion, I am afraid that it will offend the mother and affect the future of the mother." , The eye sockets are already red.

When Jia Mu heard it, she felt very reasonable. At first, she only wanted to let the empress see the childhood sweetheart between the two Yu'er, but she forgot that Daiyu was not yet filial. If the fetus is really bumped, this is a big deal. Besides, Yu'er is so filial for her father that she doesn't want to see her relatives in such a prosperous age. It is said that she has a good reputation for filial piety, but when the time comes, let Xue Baochai take the lead in front of her mother. What should I do? , and hesitated for a while.It's just that Sister Feng was there to persuade her that after all, the glorious future of Jia's family outweighed Baodai's marriage, and she finally agreed to Daiyu's request to avoid visiting her relatives.

After Daiyu returned to the house, Mother Jia thought for a long time that she couldn't let Baochai take advantage of it, so she found a mandarin duck and gave her orders.

, Yuanyang went to search for some attackers, and sure enough the next day, Baoyu came to pester Jiamu, nestled in Jiamu's arms like twisted sugar, and said: "In the past, I would find sister Xiangyun for any good things. It's a big deal, how can we forget her, the old ancestors come to her quickly, hurry up, hurry up!" Jia's mother really agreed, Xiangyunyuan is also a daughter of the Hou family, but both parents died, so she has no influence Reliance, talent is not inferior to Xue Lin Ershu, now Daiyu wants to avoid visiting relatives, inviting Xiangyun to come is also a good way, Jia Mu is worthy of being the leader of Jia's family, she is scheming.

On the second day, Baoyu was joking with Baochai when someone said, "Miss Shi is here."

After hearing this, Baoyu lifted himself up and left. Baochai smiled and said, "Wait, let's go together and see him." Then, he got off the kang and came to Jiamu's side with Baoyu. Shi Xiangyun He laughed loudly and said hello when he saw the two of them coming.Daiyu was chatting with the old lady, and when she saw Baoyu and Baochai coming together, she couldn't help but feel angry. Just about to say something sarcastic, she suddenly remembered that sister Qingxuan once said to herself: "To know the fruit of today, you need to find the fruit of the day. Because, Yu'er, you have to know that being angry is hurting others and hurting yourself with unscrupulous words, and it is of no benefit, bear with it at the time, and you will find that it is not a big deal later." So she swallowed the words, and Jiamu saw After all, Yu'er has grown up a lot, and Zhe Baoyu's face is not good. It's okay to be petty at the moment. Find someone to marry her off.Seeing that Daiyu didn't sneer at her today, Baoyu felt embarrassed, so she tugged at Daiyu's sleeve quietly and said, "My dear sister, I'll find you later." On weekdays, Daiyu liked to disperse but not to gather together, so she left.

Without the time for two cups of tea, Baoyu still came, and piled up thousands of warm words to comfort him, saying only: "My good sister, it's just that your sisters here don't allow me to come every day, and what do you say about men and women? Different seats at different ages, I thought that this kind of words would only be said by women with fish eyes, but after all, sister Qingxuan is better than other sisters, I said sister, you are sad for my uncle, I am sorry for the inconvenience, I am joking, so I did not come Looking for you, I went to Sister Debao when I was free. Although I am confused, I understand these two sentences. The first one is that we are uncles and sisters, and Sister Bao is the second aunt and sister. In terms of relatives, he is closer than you. Second You come first, we two eat at the same table and sleep in the same bed, and he just came here after growing up so big, how can anyone neglect you for him." When Daiyu heard this, she was overjoyed Sheng, moreover, has a much wider heart than before, so he spat at him: "Did I tell you to neglect him? What kind of person have I become!" Qingxuan watched from the side, and it was true that Baoyu was more careful than careful. Others don't know how much more, it's just that which girl he goes in front of is the best, it seems that he will have to jjj in the future, if this can't be changed, he will have to beat the mandarin ducks.

As they were talking, they saw Xiangyun coming and said with a smile, "Second brother, sister Lin, you are stubborn together every day. I finally came here, so ignore me." Daiyu laughed and said, "" He just bites his tongue and loves to talk, and he can't even call "two" brother, but he just "loves" brother. When you come back to play Go, it's up to you to make "one love three four five" again." Baoyu smiled. Said: "You are used to him, and you will bite you tomorrow." Shi Xiangyun said: "He won't let people go, it's not good to pick people. You yourself are better than the world, and you don't make a joke. One. Point out someone, and if you dare to pick him, I will obey you." Daiyu hurriedly asked who it was. Xiangyun said: "If you dare to pick on Sister Bao's shortcomings, you are considered good. I am not as good as you, he Why is it not as good as you?" Daiyu had listened to Baoyu's words before, and she had already had a sweet heart, so she didn't care about other people's eyes, and said with a smile: "I am not as good as her, but I am not afraid of being picked by others. Naturally, some people will not think that I am not good enough. Pick me." After speaking, her cheeks were bright red, and Baoyu looked at each other and smiled sweetly.

Shi Xiangyun crossed his waist: "I originally hoped that the Bodhisattva would bless the brother-in-law Lin who bit his tongue tomorrow. You can listen to 'love' and 'e' all the time. It seems that you can't listen to it." Qingxuan listened to this and If the meaning of the original book is similar but completely opposite, thinking that character determines fate, if Daiyu is less temperamental, fate will naturally change.When Qia Baochai came, he heard the end of the conversation and asked the general to get up. The four of them came and went, and made fun of each other. Rest here with Daiyu.

Afterwards, the rest of the people were rehearsing family visits. Only Daiyu was very leisurely. Because Chunyu Xiahe and others knew how to read, she taught them how to compose poems. Daiyu knew that it was more exciting to meet a bosom friend.On this day, Chunyu Xiahe was practicing calligraphy. Daiyu looked at it and said, "It's getting better and better. Why don't you worry about not being able to recite poems and Fu after a while?" Can I be missing?" When she came in, she said joyfully, "I used to say that women in the world are very pure and white, but now they can learn to read and compose Fu, so why don't you see Sister Qingxuan learning?" Baoyu is a confidant, so he is not a layman, so he laughed and said, "How can she still learn? She is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is only above me, not below me."

Baoyu sighed: "God, God, how many essences and talents do you have to give birth to these people! You know that I am a frog at the bottom of the well. Cheng Ri's family said that these people are unique now. I didn't expect to have to go out Looking for, there is such a beautiful woman again." Before the words fell, Baochai suddenly came, and said, "What is Baoyu crazy about?" Seeing Chunyu Xiahe practicing calligraphy, he glanced at Dai Yudao: "You shouldn't teach her. Reading and reasoning are men's business. Our girls' family should focus on chastity and tranquility, and do some needlework. Why bother to teach her these things? The little girl can read and feel angry." If you are tall, you will be blind, unwilling to be poor and lowly, afraid that you will not learn other principles, so you have learned a whole body of delicate naughtiness first."

Daiyu has long regarded Qingxuan as her sister, even though her personality is much more cheerful, she still can't help but retort: ​​"Whether to teach others to read is my business, and it is very unnecessary for my sister to teach. Besides, no one in the whole house knows that my sister has nothing to do." I don’t know the book, even Baoyu knew the disadvantages of drinking cold wine a few days ago, and taught us every day by citing scriptures and classics. My sister read the women’s training, and it seems that she didn’t really remember the rules of her daughter’s house. Call me a frown, if you want to teach us in the future, first break your pen and burn the book, don't say a sentence of poetry, don't you even know that you should not do to others what you don't want? There is no such reason in the world .”

Baochai was speechless, and Baoyu was already angry because Baochai had just refuted her words. At this time, she was feeling relieved, so she didn't care to help Baochai back. As a last resort, Baochai smiled. Known for his stability and generosity, he was silent for a while.

Daiyu wanted to let Baochai see that there are people outside the sky, so she quietly entered the house and pestered Qingxuan to play a piano and flute ensemble. Qingxuan agreed after seeing her rare interest in children after Lin Ruhai's death.

For a while, Daiyu took out the Fengweiqin, Qingxuan took out the purple jade flute, and the two played together.Baoyu Baochai was still gossiping, but gradually said nothing.I can only hear the intermittent sound of the flute in my ears, and the sound is as thin as a gossamer.Suddenly, the sound of the zither came in, like clear water from a cold spring, gurgling and flowing among the soft green algae and on the crystal gravel.The sound of the flute is cheerful and lively, like a few birds jumping and singing, it is a gurgling stream in a quiet forest in spring; the music suddenly wakes up again, like the announcement of a stream converging into a waterfall, the sound of the flute rushes like a tide The sound of the flute is not to be outdone, like a turbulent torrent, and then scattered into thousands of waterfalls. Pentium jumping, impacting each other.After a rush, majestic, and passionate performance, the rhyme gradually calmed down, as if the tide was going down, the moon was bright and the wind was clear, and the people on the sandbank were quiet.

The music gradually disappeared, and it took a long time for Baoyu, Baochai and other talents to come back to their senses, and they couldn't help but look at each other in admiration.Since that day, Baochai has never called Daiyu's hair again, which is a surprise.
