The Dream of Red Mansions of the Post-80s

Chapter 88 Pianzhi's Nightmare, Sadness and Sorrow

It is said that when Jia Baoyu met the amnesty of the world, he rushed home in a hurry. Let's not show it for the time being, but just talk about Lin Daiyu.It is said that on that day Daiyu learned that Jia Baoyu had been escorted on the road, thinking that Baoyu was so frail, and that Kuang had never experienced any hardships or grievances since she was a child, but now she has to walk for a few days in the wind and sun, rain and snow. Going thousands of miles to the border, how could Baoyu survive; for a moment, he wondered whether Jia Baoyu would come back, and whether he would see Jia Baoyu again, and felt a thousand arrows in his heart, and he was heartbroken.

Daiyu washes her face with tears every day, wishing she could go with Baoyu.It's just that I was too sad because of the death of my old grandmother. I was sick in bed, and I kept drinking soup every day. I could only follow Baoyu with my heart.Although Xue Baochai also had tears in her heart, she didn't want to let it out too much, instead she tried to cheer up and comfort Daiyu every time.

Although Daiyu's body is getting weaker and weaker now, fortunately, the old illness has never reappeared; although her heart is in infinite pain, her spirit is better than before.Because in my spare time, I sat in front of the window and lost my mind, wondering where Baoyu had gone, but she was still fine, thinking about it for a while, crying for a while, it was really "the belt is getting wider and I will never regret it, and I will be haggard for Yixiao."

Time flies like an arrow, and it is Mid-Autumn Festival in a blink of an eye.All day long, Daiyu always felt inexplicably anxious, restless, and her heart was beating wildly.Finally at night, after serving Mrs. Wang to sleep, she returned to her room.He talked to Baochai for a while, washed up carelessly, and fell asleep on the bed, but couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning.Baochai came over to comfort her for a long time, until at four o'clock Daiyu fell asleep in a daze.

Suddenly Daiyu came to a garden, and saw that the lotus roots in the garden were decaying and the withered grass was overgrown.Daiyu wondered, this is the garden there, why is it so withered and barren, it looks like a Grand View Garden but not like it.I was thinking to myself, when I looked up, I suddenly saw a person standing on the mountain stone by the lake in the distance, but it was Baoyu.Daiyu was delighted and hurried forward.Ji went to look near Shanzishi, but there was no one there.Daiyu felt so strange, she stepped forward and looked down, only to see a person under the stone soaking in the lake, which turned out to be Baoyu.I saw Jia Baoyu, dressed in rags, lying face down in the lake, motionless, with hands and feet spread wide.Daiyu burst into tears, calling Baoyu's name, and jumped down from the lake to pull Baoyu.

Baochai fell asleep in the suite, and suddenly heard Daiyu crying and shouting, "Baoyu, Baoyu..." Hastily lit the lamp and came over here.I saw Daiyu's face covered with tears, especially calling Baoyu's name.Baochai hurriedly came up to push Daiyu gently, and called Daiyu again. After a while, Lin Daiyu woke up.Baochai said, "My sister must be dreaming." As he spoke, he took Daiyu into his arms, and seeing Daiyu's sweat all over her head, tears burst out.

Daiyu cried for a long time, Fang choked up and told Baochai what happened in her dream.Baochai also felt that it might be an ominous omen, but after thinking about it again, she thought it was because Daiyu missed Baoyu too much, and Daiyu was worried about Baoyu day and night.Then he enlightened Daiyu and said, "I think my sister is worried about Brother Bao and is always worried about Brother Bao, so I have this dream. Brother Bao will definitely come back safely, and my sister should think about it." Although Daiyu was very puzzled, she was full of sadness. , and tried to think of the best, so she felt that what Baochai said was reasonable, so she slowly stopped crying.Baochai put her arms around Daiyu, and the two sisters sat silently for the whole night.

The next morning, Lin Daiyu called Jia Lan and asked him to try to find out about Jia Baoyu again.Jia Lan agreed to go out, and came back at dinner time and said that Jia Qiang and Jia Yun asked people to inquire every day, but there was no news at all, and once there was news, they would go back and forth quickly.When Daiyu heard about it, she couldn't help it, so she just leaned on the pillow and wept.

Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue, etc. were sick one after another for many days due to fatigue and sadness. One just fell ill, and the other fell ill, or even several of them were bedridden at the same time.Although Daiyu, Baochai and other young ladies are the daughters of the Hou family, they have been pampered and treated well since childhood, and they are used to living a comfortable life of opening their mouths and stretching out their clothes, but they are knowledgeable, intelligent, and born in heaven and earth.Seeing that the family situation is going from bad to worse, no one complained a word, and resolutely took on the burden of housekeeping and taking care of the family.A few people guard the Yao Diaozi every day to cook soup, boil medicine, hold tea and pass water, and serve Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue and so on.

Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue just got better that day, and they leaned on the pillow talking after lunch.Daiyu, Baochai, Li Wan and others are all serving at the side.Jia Lan came in to report that Jia Qiang had come and had something important to report to Mrs. Wang.Mrs. Wang is busy, please hurry up.

Jia Qiang walked into the room, greeted Mrs. Wang first, and then said with a smile on her face: "Madam, just now I saw the official list on the street, saying that the canonization of the empress will be amnesty. Home." Mrs. Wang hurriedly sat up and said in a trembling voice: "Is this true?" Jia Qiang said: "It is absolutely true, the signs are posted everywhere on the street." After hearing this, everyone couldn't help crying with joy.Daiyu hurriedly walked to the window, closed her eyes, looked up with her palms together and said, "Amitabha, finally you have seen the sun!" As she spoke, tears had already rolled down her cheeks.

Jia Qiang said again: "Ladies, don't worry. I'll inquire again. I think there will be good news about the gentlemen and Uncle Bao in a few days." Mrs. Wang thanked her again and again, and Jia Qiang took her leave.

Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue got busy, washed and washed, and brought Bao Dai and other sisters and wives over to Mrs. Xing.When everyone met, Mrs. Wang told Mrs. Xing about the amnesty for the world, and Mrs. Xing and others were also overjoyed.Everyone couldn't help crying again, and comforted each other for a while, and Mrs. Wang waited until she came back.

Everyone is worried every day, waiting for the news of Jia She and other men and Baoyu and other buddies.

A few days later, Jia Qiang came to see Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Wang hurriedly asked if there was any news.Jia Qiang replied: "The matter of the masters has been inquired. The Eldest Master and the Second Master Bingzhen, and the Second Master Lian were not pardoned, but their sentence was commuted. Because of their old age, the Eldest Master and the Second Master were sentenced to three years in prison; Uncle Zhen and Second Master Lian were sentenced to three years of exile." Jia Qiang paused and said, "It's just that Uncle Bao, Third Master Huan and Brother Rong haven't heard anything yet." Mrs. Wang and others first heard that Jia Zheng and the four finally saved their lives, but He was given a new sentence, happy and sad, and heard that Baoyu had no news, so he burst into tears again.

The last time Lin Daiyu heard about Jia Baoyu was almost a month ago.At that time, Jia Qiang came to tell Mrs. Wang that Jia Baoyu had already entered the border of Hexi, and the journey was safe, and he could reach Guazhou Prefecture in less than a month.Since that day, there has been no news of Baoyu, how can Daiyu not be very anxious.Baochai persuaded Daiyu: "Sister, don't be too anxious, lest you get angry again. Hexi is thousands of miles away from us, and it is extremely inconvenient to communicate on that side. I think it's all because of this, brother Bao. There is no letter." Daiyu also thought it was inconvenient to communicate by letter, so she tried to relieve herself, but she was still anxious and sad, and couldn't control herself.

After crying, Mrs. Wang took out another bag of silver and handed it to Jia Qiang, asking him to find someone to clear things up and see if he could visit Jia Zheng and others in the prison.Jia Qiang agreed, bid farewell to everyone and went out.A few days later, Jia Qiang came back and told Mrs. Wang that the arrangements had been made and she could visit the cell tomorrow.Early the next morning, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, You Shi, and Ping'er took their clothes and some side dishes and got into the car. Jia Qiang and Jia Lan led the horse and whipped to the Ministry of punishment.

They didn't come back until noon. They were very relieved, and they were busy preparing Jia Zhen and Jia Lian's clothes and luggage.

A few days later, brothers Jia Zhen and Jia Lian set off for Yunguang.Mrs. Xing, You Shi, and Ping'er went to see them off. The five cried bitterly and spoke a lot of words of comfort to each other.Jia Zhen and Jia Lian said their farewell to the three of them and left with a few errands.

Youshi and Heping'er's eyes were red and swollen from crying, Mrs. Xing persuaded them a little before they stopped.The three of them watched helplessly as the two brothers went away before returning.
