New Dream of Red Mansions

The Qingxu Temple had been cleaned up long ago, and the Taoist priests and others drove out together, and only surrounded a venue to set up a stage.

Mother Jia took Aunt Xue and the other girls to pray in the dojo, and then went into the building to do it. At this time, Daiyu's heart moved slightly, and she glanced at Xiyan Tanchun.

Tanchun was also wondering, didn't it mean that the imperial concubine sent people to have a funeral ceremony?Why is a Taoist priest missing, but it seems... like he came to play?

Daiyu thought of the concubine Jia's reward, and looked up at Baochai. Baochai was docilely accompanying Jiamu, with the red musk musk string that was rewarded by concubine Jia in her hand. Daiyu sneered, and suddenly understood.

Daiyu turned her head to talk to Xiyan, "Let's go look around later."

Xiyan nodded, "Call the second sister, the third sister, and the others. It's hard for everyone to come out."

As soon as Mother Jia sat down in the building, Daoist Zhang came in with a tray and said with a smile, "It's a coincidence that you are here today, old lady. I just want to visit you at your house in a few days." Baoyu, surprised, said: "This is my brother. He has grown so big! He looks more and more like the old man."

Jia Mu laughed and said, "He is the only one who looks like his brothers."

Daoist Zhang took Baoyu to look at it, and said with a smile: "I went to a house a few days ago and saw a girl who was fifteen years old and looked pretty. I think it's time for my brother to find a marriage. This girl is good-looking, smart and intelligent, and has the same foundation, so she is worthy. I don’t know how the old lady is, but the old lady dare not be self-confident, so I will ask the old lady to show her.”

Sister Feng, who was behind Jia's mother, gave Baochai a mocking look, but Baochai was touching the red musk string on her wrist with her head down, but she had never seen it.

Seeing Xiyan, she was a little puzzled. Baochai and Sister Feng were cousins ​​after all. Because she was born with memories, and she didn't like Baochai's personality, that's why she was polite to her. The two have always looked at each other?

Baochai looked down on Sister Feng, she knew this all along, she must be a girl Feng when she said something, but she didn't have much respect in it, but why didn't Sister Feng, who was always slick, didn't like Baochai?Except yesterday when she took the initiative to invite her to the play, Sister Feng never took the initiative to speak to Baochai.

Xiyan lowered her head, the corners of her mouth slightly turned up, and she laughed at herself: Could it be that girls with the blood of the Wang family dislike each other?

Xiyan forgot, however, since Baochai doesn't like Sister Feng, wouldn't Sister Feng not notice?Baochai looked down on her, why did Sister Feng ever think of Baochai?

Jia Mu said: "Last time a monk said that Baoyu should not marry early. Let's talk about it when she is older. Now you should inquire first. It doesn't matter whether she is rich or not, as long as she looks good. It's that family." Poor, just give him a few taels of silver, as long as his appearance and temperament are worthy."

Baochai clenched her hands tightly in her sleeves instantly, Aunt Xue's eyes flashed with embarrassment, but she was helpless.

But Mother Jia happened to see a golden unicorn on the plate, picked it up and smiled and asked, "I seem to have seen this on some child."

Baochai cheered up and said with a smile, "Sister Shi has one, a little smaller than this one."

Jia Mu said with a half-smile, "Yun'er has one."

Baoyu said, "She went to live with us, but I didn't see her either."

Tanchun rolled his eyes slightly, and said with a smile, "Sister Bao has a heart, she remembers everything."

Daiyu sneered and said, "She is still limited in other things, but she has to pay more attention to the things these people carry."

When Baochai heard it, she became more and more ashamed and annoyed. She just turned her head and pretended not to hear it.

Baoyu has secretly put away the golden unicorn. Xiyan watched the whole process and sighed when she saw that Baochai was absent-minded.

Although Baoyu is rare, there are no good men in this world. Why did Baochai hang himself on this tree? Jiamu has made it so obvious. If it was me, I would have given up my mind a long time ago.

Over there, Daiyu was also thinking about it. Mother Jia liked her and Baoyu, so why didn't she know?Even my father thought so.It's just that the two of them are still young, and she is still within three years of filial piety. Although she has a good impression of Baoyu, she doesn't insist on it.

The behavior of the second aunt and the eldest cousin also showed their attitude. Since they look down on me, I will naturally not make more entanglements. The world is so big, is it possible that I can't find a confidant?

It's just that it's hard to tell from my grandmother.

I just thought that Sister Bao said she had no intentions with Baoyu, and now she is acting like this... Daiyu thought to herself: Sure enough, I didn't misjudge her, it's better to stay away from her in the future.

Xiyan didn't want to sit upstairs and listen to the play, so she pestered Jia's mother and said, "Old lady, let's go downstairs and play."

"Where can I run around? Sit down and watch the show carefully, and be careful not to hit someone when you go out."

Xiyan pulled Sister Feng, "Let my elder sister accompany us down, no one will dare to run into us, old ancestor, let us go down for a stroll."

Sister Feng laughed and said: "I never heard you call me big sister in the past, but you are really snobbish. If it is useful, you can call me that. What's the fun next time, it can't compare to our garden."

Tanchun also chimed in and said, "We only wanted to go down for a walk because we only looked at the freshness. Good sister-in-law, why don't you go down with us for a while."

Xichun and the others also looked at her eagerly, and Sister Feng smiled and said, "It's amazing, old ancestor, I can't stand it, my eyes are going to melt when I look at the girls."

"Don't be afraid to slap your lips, that's all right. Since everyone has been sent out, you can take the girls around, and Zhu's daughter-in-law will also go. Just keep an eye on the girls."

Baochai said with a smile, "I won't go, let's watch a play with my ancestors here."

Mother Jia was noncommittal.

Xiyan and others happily followed Sister Feng.

It is rare for Daiyu, Tanchun and others to come out. This is also the first time to visit Qingxu Temple. Naturally, they walked around inside and out, and kept making wishes to stay along the way. The beauty was making a wish, and she suddenly regretted it. It would be great if there was a camera. I don’t know how beautiful it is to take photos along the way.

After they had been shopping for more than half an hour, Sister Feng couldn't move anymore, and she cried out bitterly, "I can't go any longer. Go back quickly. I told you that you are here to listen to the play, so I messed up all of you." Touching Xiyan's forehead, she said, "You were the one who instigated it!"

Xiyan smiled and stepped forward to hug Sister Feng's arm, saying: "What's the matter, I'll send you later."

"I dare not send you."

Everyone went back upstairs chattering, and when Mother Jia was watching the play, she saw the excitement, so she laughed and scolded: "It's so disturbing that I can't even watch it."

Sister Feng quickly responded, "I just said that I would come to serve the old lady. I can't take it anymore. The old lady promised me to be light-hearted, but these sister-in-laws started arguing again, and a good show was over. The old ancestor , you have to make them pay me." Everyone laughed.

Jia Zhen was losing her temper outside. Originally, she brought the disciples of the Jia family to kowtow to pray for blessings according to her mother's order, but Jia's mother came over suddenly and wanted to set up a stage to sing.

A few close relatives outside heard about it and prepared to send gifts over. Jia Mu suddenly regretted it and said, "It's not a serious fasting thing. We just wandered around. I didn't expect these gifts to alarm others."

Xiyan was amused when she heard this, Mother Jia seemed to be really angry this time, and Concubine Jia's will was no longer a serious business.

Daoist Zhang groaned secretly in his heart, you rich and noble people are fighting, but you use us to make scorpions.

Xiyan didn't feel sorry for this Taoist priest at all. If he hadn't taken the initiative to take on this job, wouldn't Jia Yuanchun have forced him to do it?

Mother Jia looked at Aunt Xue who had been silent all this time, and she was satisfied in her heart, so what if Mrs. Wang didn't come?As long as Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai are here.

Mother Jia looked at Daiyu, who was whispering to Tanchun and smiling, and let out a sigh of relief.But there is also some regret in her heart. When her daughter passed away, she deliberately decided on this marriage, but Daiyu kept her filial piety, so she couldn't say it. Later, when Madam Wang saw Aunt Xue coming to Beijing, she had other thoughts, so she had no choice but not to mention it. , but who knew that Lin Ruhai would die of illness suddenly?

But even so, as long as she is still there, she will not allow them to abandon Daiyu.The Lin family has collected several 10 taels of silver. What is the meaning of these gestures at this time?

Jia's mother had achieved her goal, but the next day she disliked the hot weather and refused to go to the theater on the pretext that she was not feeling well. Sister Dufeng took a few girls to go.

Baoyu also noticed that day that his heart belonged to Sister Lin, and he didn't want to go after such a scene, and he also used the excuse that he was not feeling well.

After Daiyu let go of her heart, she didn't care. She went to listen to the play again with Xiyan Tanchun and others. Are you better? When we came back today, Sister Feng took us out for a meal, it was interesting, it would be a pity if you didn't go."

Baoyu laughed and said, "It's just a meal. What's the fun?"

"It's not uncommon for Brother Bao to walk outside often, but it's rare for us to go out, and today's play ends early, otherwise the second sister-in-law wouldn't take us there." After Tanchun finished speaking, he pulled Guo Xiyan said: "Naturally, sister Yan has also contributed a lot."

Yingchun and Xichun nodded, "Thanks to Sister Yan (sister) who provoked the second sister-in-law and paid for it, the second sister-in-law took us there."

Tanchun vividly talked about how Xiyan won a bet with Sister Feng and asked her to take them to a restaurant for dinner.

Xichun regretfully said: "It looks lively outside, but it's a pity that we can't go down to have some fun."

Xiyan smiled and said, "There will always be a chance."

Baochai was at Jiamu's place. Seeing them coming, she hurriedly asked them to salute. Baoyu was surprised and said, "Why didn't Sister Bao go to the theater today?"

"I thought it was hot, so I didn't go, it's still cooler at home."

Baoyu then looked Baochai up and down, and praised: "Strange Taoists often compare Sister Bao to Concubine Yang, and it turns out that she is also fat and timid."

Baochai was furious when she heard this, and said with a sneer, "I look like Concubine Yang, but it's a pity that I don't have a good brother like Yang Guozhong."

Baoyu's face was awkward, and it happened that a little girl had lost her fan, so she laughed with Baochai and said, "The girl must have hidden mine. Good girl, take it out and reward me."

Baochai pointed at her and said, "You have to be careful, I played with you? Don't doubt me. You should ask those girls who are joking with you." After speaking, she felt reckless, and regretted it, so she had to turn around. Turn your head and ignore people.

Yingchun and Xichun couldn't help being puzzled, they pulled Tanchun and asked, "What's wrong with Sister Bao these days? I can't suppress my temper no matter what."

Tanchun said in a low voice: "I heard that Sister Bao lost the election, the old lady..." Tanchun bit his lower lip and said nothing.The eldest sister and mother in the palace prefer Sister Bao, but the old lady has always been satisfied with Sister Lin.She also likes Sister Lin more, but these things are beyond the hands of the girl's family.

When Xiyan and Daiyu returned to the hospital, Dongmei came over and said, "Girl, Manager Caizhuang sent a message in, saying that Sister Xiangling's mother received it, but she is weak, so I'm afraid she has to come here slowly. The person you sent told me what you asked, and they only said that it was a friend that Master Zhen once sponsored when he was young. Now that he heard about Master Zhen, he specially went out to help inquire. By chance, he met Sister Xiangling. It’s just that I can’t make up my mind whether I should ask her to come up to meet her, and only after she recognizes her can she be redeemed.”

Xiyan breathed a sigh of relief, and became happy with Daiyu.

In fact, if Jia Yucun hadn't known Xiangling's true identity, she would have sent someone pretending to be a squire, and come here to pester Xue Pan while Xue Pan was away. It would not be impossible to redeem Xiangling by spending more money. I know, and now she and Xue Pan are as close as wearing a pair of pants.

If she really sent someone to redeem him, she was afraid that Jia Yucun would do something if she found out. Now after waiting for two years, she finally found him.

Xiyan wanted to find someone to tell Xiangling the good news, but Daiyu stopped her and said, "Sister Xiangling is simple-minded, and I'm afraid I won't be able to hide it if I tell her, why don't we hide it for now, and wait for someone to tell you the good news." Let’s talk about it in the capital.”

Xiyan had no choice but to suppress her mood.

But she didn't know that now Jia Yucun was also holding back bad thoughts.

Jia Yucun looked at Chen Ji Dim Sum in the long queue in front of him, and asked, "Did you find out clearly? Is there anyone behind this workshop?"

The boy nodded and bowed his waist and said: "I have made it clear, now the shopkeeper of Chen Ji Dim Sum is the owner, and his ancestors all made dim sum. He was once defeated by his father, but later he borrowed money from a friend. They came here, they have some secret recipes, and the dim sum they make is better than other restaurants, so the business is booming."

Jia Yucun stroked his beard and asked, "Which adult did you not take care of?"

The boy smiled and said: "Although snacks are beneficial, the interest is not much. The plan is to make small profits but sell quickly, just to manage, that is, to control the yamen servants and some small gangsters on this street. How can they know any high-level people?" of?"

"Then what does that friend you mentioned do?"

"That family's surname is Zhuang, and they run a brush and ink shop, which is not as good as his dim sum shop, and the situation is similar."

Only then did Jia Yucun nodded in satisfaction, his eyes lit up, and said, "I'm afraid I can't eat the two shops alone."

The boy curled his lips in his heart, no one knew that he wanted nothing but a white wolf, but now he couldn't even give up the hard work.After thinking about it, a person appeared in the boy's mind, and the boy said in a low voice: "My lord, why don't you go to find Uncle Xue, didn't he just say that he wanted to set up a shop for fun last time?"

Jia Yucun snorted coldly, Xue Pan has a lot of shops, so he still likes these two small shops?

But after thinking about it, Jia She had another candidate in his mind. Last time, didn't he just say that he wanted to open an antique shop?It's just that those who open an antique shop in the capital, there are more or less people behind them, I'm afraid they won't move, but if Jia She can put on the name of Rongguo Mansion, it's not impossible.

The author has something to say: Qingxu Guanjiao is the first confrontation between Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, and many things that followed were triggered by this. The mother continued to resist and fell to the point of gossiping with Mrs. Wang, and the image of a generous and kind lady was suddenly destroyed, and Jin Chuan's death was also somewhat related to this.

Ah Cheng's main purpose of writing this is not to express these phenomena shown in the original work, but to pave the way. Daiyu has completely given up on Baoyu because of this, because she is a proud person in her heart. If you don't love me, I will leave .

Both your mother and your sister have acted so obviously, why should I go ahead?I am not inferior to you.

Cough cough, do you like this commentary?If you don't like it, I won't explain it next time, just write it down.

By the way, regarding the name of the country, it was officially changed to "Dahan" at the suggestion of the fireworks.
