Edge of the Red Chamber

On this day, both father and son Lin Hai and Lin Yu took a rest. The old lady was happy and said that the festival would be celebrated early, so she ordered the kitchen to steam rice dumplings and boil realgar wine.The whole family was happy and in high spirits, so they couldn't help but indulge a little bit.Daiyu ate two more rice dumplings and drank two more glasses of wine without realizing it.Back in the house, it happened that Qingniao and her children were taking the sour plum soup that was put in the well in the morning. She was greedy and clamored to eat.When the red silk came in, she had already eaten half of it.Zongzi is not easy to digest, and when it is shocked by the cold, it will accumulate in the chest and cannot be digested.Yan doctor took medicine, made a fuss for half the night, and didn't go to sleep until the fourth watch.

When I woke up, it was already high in the sun.

After washing and dressing, Qingniao came in with green rice porridge and a few side dishes, and while setting the table, Hongxiao said, "Second Grandma came here once in the morning, and she slept well after seeing you, so she didn't call you, and Second Grandma wouldn't let her." .”

Lin Daiyu was embarrassed, it wasn't that she was greedy, how could such things happen.Hearing the words, he said angrily: "You are also ignorant. This is my family. If you have guests, you will do the same. It is not a joke." I also know that she is considerate of herself, and Chen will not care about it. I didn't mean to blame Hongxiao, but just a reminder, lest I get used to being rude in front of people in the future, so I threw it away after speaking, and said: "I promised my grandmother to go to the theater with her today, but now My son didn't go, I'm afraid my grandmother will blame me."

Hung Hom said: "I know the girl is worried about it. The second mistress told her early in the morning to reassure the girl. Just take care of it carefully, and she will do everything." But she didn't mention Lu Huixian.

Lin Daiyu glanced at her and said, "Grandma didn't go?"

Withdrawing the box, another hot handkerchief was twisted and Lin Daiyu wiped her hands. Hongxiang smiled and said, "You are sick, who can rest assured? You have already agreed to go. If you don't want to go, the second grandma won't go either."

Just as she was talking, she heard the greetings from the servant girl outside, and Lin Daiyu hurriedly stood up to welcome her out.

Seeing her coming out, Lu Huixian quickly waved her hands, and said in a loud voice, "What are you doing out? Come in quickly. It's hot outside, so you'll feel better. Watch out for the heat." She then asked Hong Kam, who came out behind Lin Daiyu, and said: "When did you girls wake up? Have you eaten yet? I have freshly prepared yam cakes and stuffing made from hawthorns. They are appetizing and easy to digest..." Then I remembered that I didn't bring them here, and I kept asking for more. Luo went back to get it.

Daiyu called Xiangluo to stop with a smile, and said to Lu Huixian, "Why are you running back and forth on such a hot day? I'm about to eat the excellent porridge cooked in the kitchen." She didn't even enter the house, and stood Lu Huixian was waiting in front of the door.

Hung Hom stood aside one by one.

While listening, Lu Huixian came up and took Lin Daiyu's hand, looked at her face, nodded, said: "You look better," and asked: "How do you feel? Is your chest still blocked?"

Still embarrassed to say it, Lin Daiyu blushed and shook her head, said: "It's all over, sister Xian, don't worry." Then said: "It's all because of my greedy mouth, which made the whole family restless."

Lu Huixian patted her hand and said with a smile, "How many times can we make trouble?" It meant that Daiyu would leave the cabinet in the second half of the year.

Daiyu blushed and refused to follow her.

Hongxiao and Xiangluo played Xianglian, and the two of them went in. Lu Huixian looked at the table and saw a plate of three delicacies from the lotus pond, and said, "This one just came down. Try it and see how it tastes?" There was another one. A dish of sprouts, a dish of scrambled eggs with leeks, a dish of thinly sliced ​​beans, a dish of cucumbers, and a small dish of fermented bean curd in red oil.

Hearing this, Lin Daiyu said: "I can't eat so much, you sit with me."

It was neither too early nor too late, and she had nothing to do just sitting around, so she ate some food with her.

After the meal, the rosary came and sent her away. Lu Huixian said: "I'm afraid I'm frightening the old lady. I kept it from the old lady last night. I only said it this morning when I greeted the old lady. The old lady will come back immediately." After scolding me, I was about to come over to see you, but I stopped me and said that you must be asleep, so I didn’t come. I reckon that the old lady will definitely come when the rosary returns. Just don’t move. It's too late to rest, I'll go to meet you."

Lin Daiyu got up in a hurry, but before she could say anything, Xiangluo came in and said, "Prince Dowager Beijing knows that the girl is ill, so she sent Mama Sun to come and see the girl."

That Mama Sun is an old man in front of Princess Beijing, and Lu Huixian dared not neglect her, she had to meet her in person, and she was worried about Lin Daiyu, so she took only two steps, stopped, turned around and told Hongxiao, "Don't teach your girls to go out. If not, you will be punished severely later." Then he sent Xiangluo to the old lady, and told Daiyu: "At home, who cares about you, everything is the most important thing, the old lady is happy. I can't do it , the fragrant snails are still stable, besides, there are rosary beads and wooden fish, you just need to rest in the house with peace of mind."

Girls from rich families are spoiled and spoiled, and they are delicate, and those who suffer from three diseases and two pains are also common, and they only appear expensive when they are spoken out.But if you don't leave the medicine all the year round, you don't have a good reputation.

Daiyu fell ill once a few days ago, and then fell ill again. The people from Beijing Palace came quickly, so Lu Huixian felt a little suspicious.

Mama Sun is fat and chubby, with gentle eyebrows and eyes, and a three-point smile when she is not smiling, which makes people feel a little close, and Lu Huixian dare not take it lightly.

When she went in, Mama Sun had already got up and bowed to her when she saw her.Lu Huishan turned her body sideways, only received a half-respect, then helped her up herself, gave up her seat with a smile, ordered tea and fruits, and said: "Yesterday, our master and uncle were both at home. The old lady became interested and steamed. Zongzi ate wine and sour plum soup, but our girl has a delicate spleen and stomach and has accumulated food. She is still embarrassed at this moment, and she is not allowed to see her, for fear that we will make a joke." He said: "I ate a dose yesterday. The medicine is already ready. I just came back from her and watched her use a bowl of green rice porridge. But a small incident alarmed the concubine, but it is our fault. It is a hot day, teach you how to return Run for a while."

Before Mama Sun could speak, Lu Huixian explained the reason first, laughing as she spoke.

Firstly, Ming Daiyu is not weak, and then find out why Sun's mother came.If the concubine really suspected that Daiyu was not in good health, Mama Sun would definitely go to see Daiyu, otherwise she would not.

Mama Sun served the concubine as a child, and she was very pleased with her, so I couldn't hear her voice.Hearing this, she also laughed and said: "It's hot these days, and the girl is so delicate. The concubine just thinks she has a heatstroke, so I don't worry." Mama Sun can also talk, so she first expressed her heart, and the concubine didn't care about it. I don't have that heart.After finishing speaking, he said: "I also have a joke here to tell grandma. A while ago, we also made zongzi in our house, which suited the prince's appetite. He didn't eat dinner at night, but only used zongzi. He was greedy for cold, and relying on He was young, he didn't listen to others' persuasion, and ate another ice bowl. He said it was fine, but he felt uncomfortable when he went back. He was thin-skinned and embarrassed to say that it was the concubine who was worried, so someone sent Xiaoshi soup to him."

Lu Huixian said that Daiyu couldn't restrain herself after eating sour plum soup, and Sun's mother said that the king of Beijing County couldn't restrain herself after eating an ice bowl. Obviously, they put the two together.

Lu Huixian felt relieved.

Sure enough, the old lady came, asked carefully, and finally said: "How old is she, don't do it again next time." Lin Daiyu answered yes in a repeated voice.

The old lady gave her a sideways look, then laughed again, seemingly helpless, and said, "What do you want for lunch? Tell the kitchen to do it later."

While talking, the two waited for Mama Sun. They waited for half a day, but they didn't wait for Mama Sun. They waited for the fragrant snails.

When she came in, she first handed over a gift list of bright red brocade sprinkled with gold, and said: "This is from the concubine. Sun Mama has already gone back. She said that the girl is ill, so she just disturbed the girl's rest. When the girl is well, she will give it to her." Please, girl."

The red silk took it and handed it to Daiyu, who held it in her hand and said, "What's the matter? It's hot on the ground right now." She put it aside as she spoke.

Xiangluo said: "I'm used to running all day long, and I don't feel comfortable when I don't sweat all over." After talking about a bag of bullets and ink on the ground, he continued: "Grandma just came over and forgot to tell me about this matter." said the girl."

Hongxiao took it again, and Daiyu asked, "Who sent this?" After that, before Xiangluo could reply, she said, "Is this sent by Lian's second grandma?"

Xiangluo laughed, and said, "You can't hide anything from the girl." Then she said, "The second grandma Lian just left before grandma came. She was here to see the girl, but she didn't come when she knew she went to bed in the morning. This is three The girl and the fourth girl also have some things from the second master Bao to relieve the girl's boredom. When the girl is well, they will come to see the girl again."

It's just a polite word, Jia's family is filial, so there is no way to go out, especially Jia's family is now on the cusp.

Lin Daiyu motioned for Hongxiao to pick it up, and Xiangluo said: "The concierge sent me a post. Uncle and madam invited the old lady, grandma, and girls to come to the house for a drink on the third day of junior high school. Let's see if the old lady will go, so I can make preparations."

The old lady just laughed and said: "Your grandma will save trouble too. If you come alone, it will save trouble for three people." After a pause, she said: "I won't go, let your grandma just go shopping." Just look at Lin Daiyu, after thinking about it for a while, Fang said: "You go too, I think girl Yi will go too, and your sisters will also get together."

Lin Daiyu naturally wanted to go, seeing the old lady agreed, she immediately beamed with joy, pulled the old lady's sleeve, and said softly: "The old ancestor is going too, we all went, what's the fun of you being at home by yourself?"

The old lady just disagreed and couldn't say anything.

I'm afraid the sun will get hotter when the sun rises. Seeing that Daiyu has recovered, the old lady will not stay any longer, and will return after talking for a while.

In the afternoon, Lin Yan came in to see her and gave her two books, which was unprecedented. When asked, Lin Yan said, "I don't have such a heart?" She couldn't ask.

The next day, it was hot again, and on the fourth day of the lunar new year, it was even hotter. After walking a few steps, I was covered in sweat.

It was the first time for Cui Jiayi to bring her eldest daughter back to her natal home. The family was so rare that they all scrambled to hug her, but she, the mother, leaned back.Daiyu pulled her to talk, the two thought it was noisy outside, so they went to Cui Jiayi's former boudoir, before she sat down, Cui Jiayi complained, "I can't leave for a moment." Although she was complaining, she smiled, It can be seen that the heart is happy.

Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "Then why did you bring it here?"

Cui Jiayi laughed and said, "You will know when you have it."

Lin Daiyu blushed, changed the subject, and asked her, "Why don't you come during Chinese New Year?"

Cui Jiayi said: "I was going to go, but this one is sick again." She asked the old lady, "How is the old lady? She always said to pay her respects to the elderly, but there were always such and such things at home, and she was never free. "

Lin Daiyu nodded, and said: "It's still the same as before, except that the hair is a little bit grayer, and one of the molars is missing." Then she said: "You still say, it's been a year, but the old lady still misses you all the time." One you, and another sister Feng. Sister Feng is okay, she is far away, there is no way, you are so close, you don’t even say to come and see us.”

Cui Jiayi immediately said, "You still don't know?"
