Continue to write the dream of red mansions with the routine of house fighting

It is said that Jia and Xue's two families had agreed, so they chose the ninth day of May to form a good relationship between the two surnames.Because Baoyu hadn't woken up yet, the two families negotiated that all marriage and marriage ceremonies should be exempted. They only called a few daughters-in-law of Jia's family to come over to help. Everything needs to be handled by Baochai himself.

According to Mrs. Wang's wishes, after Baoyu got married, it was not easy to live in the garden again, so she just chose a place in the mansion to build another new house.Because the wedding day is very urgent, although no outsiders are invited, the new house has to be decorated and things are bought, so the ups and downs are also very busy, and the half moon is fleeting.

On the ninth day of the lunar new year, Baoyu suddenly opened her eyes, and Mrs. Wang smiled happily, saying that it was the blessing brought by Baochai.Although Baoyu is awake now, she is dumbfounded, unable to speak, unable to get out of bed, and unable to even go to worship hall.Mrs. Wang had no choice but to ask Jia Lian to find a rooster to salute Baoyu and Baochai on behalf of Baoyu, and then asked Li Wan to lead Baochai to Jiamu's place to worship four times. The sons hugged Baochai and sent them to the bridal chamber.

Benzoin was set early in the bridal chamber, Baoyu closed her eyes and didn't know if she was asleep or not. Seeing that there was no excitement, everyone went out to eat wine.Yinger and Sheyue came in two, helped Baochai remove the hairpin ring, changed into wedding clothes, helped Baoyu wipe her body, put down the embroidered curtain, and retreated after everything was done. Yu Baochai was the only one in the huge new house. Sitting on the bed of chicken wing wood carved with auspicious clouds and accompanied by dragons and phoenixes, guarding Baoyu who is unconscious.A gust of wind blew out the tall candles of dragon and phoenix burning on the table. At this moment, a half-bright moon was hanging in the sky. The moonlight slid in through the lattice window and shone in front of the bed like a cold spring, which only made people feel desolate. Bone cold.

Baochai glanced at Baoyu, but within a few months, her moon-like face had become so thin that her cheekbones were showing. Unconsciously, she sighed and tucked the corner of the quilt for him, and she just lay aside with her clothes on. Before I knew it, I fell asleep slowly.Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, Baoyu suddenly went crazy again, clamoring to find sister Lin, and turned the whole family upside down. Mrs. Baochai Wang had no choice but to sit aside and cry secretly.

This place hadn't stopped yet, when suddenly Hu Po ran in crying and knelt down and replied to Mrs. Wang: "The old lady has ascended to heaven!"

Mrs. Wang stood up suddenly when she heard this, shook her body, and nearly fell down, but fortunately Baochai was behind her to support her.Mrs. Wang finally came to her senses, so she asked Amber, "I asked you this morning, didn't you say that the old lady is better? Why didn't she disappear?" After taking a look, his complexion improved a lot, and he drank a whole bowl of ginseng soup. Even the doctor Wang came to see him and said that he was better. Unexpectedly, he will be in a bad mood! Now think about the old lady in the morning It looks like a scene that has returned to the light."

Mrs. Wang didn't ask any more questions, but rushed to Jia Mu's main room together with Baochai.Jia's mother had already stopped her bed, and Jia Zheng had fallen to the ground crying. After a while, Jia Shexing's wife, Jia Lianfeng's sister, Li Wan, Jia Lan, Jia Cong and Jia Huan all rushed over, and they all raised their hands to mourn.

Everyone in the family got busy. First, they replaced all the bright red things used by Baoyu to get married, and all the double happiness characters that had just been pasted were torn off. The couplets on the door panels inside and outside are all covered with clean white paper.All the masters and slaves put on filial piety clothes. From the gate to the garden, it was pale up and down, and paper banners and money were scattered everywhere.

In such a hurry, it was five o'clock when everything was cleared up. Jia Zheng first sent people to report the funeral, and then asked Jia Lian to lead people to Tiekan Temple to fetch back the birthday materials that Jiamu kept there. .

Mrs. Wang saw that Yi had tidied up properly, so she ordered Baoyu to be carried over. Baochai served Baoyu and knelt in front of Jiamu's spirit. The whole family mourned and cried bitterly. Li actually seemed to have some knowledge, and she cried like a tearful person.

At dawn, Jia Zheng reported to Ding You, and the emperor saw the report from the Ministry of Rites, thinking of the meritorious deeds of Daishan, and the merits of Tanchun and Fan.

Because Jia Lian went out, Baoyu went crazy, and Jia Huan, Jia Cong and Jia Lan were still young, and they had never experienced such a scene. At this time, Jia's family couldn't even find a nephew who could help accompany the guests.Although the family has the two wives of King Xing and the three granddaughters-in-law of Fengjie, Li Wan and Baochai, they have to cry on the sidelines according to the rules, so there is no one to accompany the guests inside. Even more melancholy, I couldn't help crying.Fortunately, the two brothers Dai Confucianism and Dai Xiu led Jia Heng and Jia Jun and other descendants of the Jia family to rush over.Jia Zheng asked Jia Qiong brothers to help accompany the guests first.

And because Jia Yun's daughter-in-law, Lin Shiyuan, has experienced with Sister Feng for several years, and her parents are also old people in Jia's mansion, so she is very familiar with everything in Rong's mansion, so Mrs. Wang asked her to help Jia Zhu's mother inside. Lou's company.

All the relatives and friends knew that Jia's mansion was in decline, some claimed to be sick, and some said something was wrong, so they didn't want to come.The gate of the Rong Mansion was wide open, but only my nephew came and went, for two or three hours, there was not a single outsider.

At noon, Jia Lianfang pulled back the plank, and Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng surrounded him. They saw that the body of the coffin was like carbon black, but the wood core was golden, with smooth texture and a strong fragrance. It was actually a hollowed out gloomy wood It is made, and the bottom of the coffin is more than ten inches. The top of the coffin lid is carved with the pattern of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, and the two sides are auspicious clouds and auspicious cranes. It is indescribably luxurious and exquisite.This piece of wood was originally rewarded by Taizu when Rong Guogong conquered the southwest. Jia Daishan asked someone to make two coffins, used one for himself, and left this one for Jiamu.Jia Zheng saw that this board was very good, but he was afraid of overstepping the rules. He wanted to persuade everyone not to use it, and now he is looking for it. I'm afraid it will be difficult to find any good wood!

Another astronomy student came to report, saying that it was considered auspicious for the coffin in three days' time, and he stayed at home until May [-]th, so that he could be buried in Daochang.After hearing this, Jia Amnesty had no objection, so he just told him to handle it accordingly.He also asked people to prepare ingot pillows for descendants to quilt.At night, everyone kept watch according to the rules.

In the early morning of the next day, Mrs. Fang Youshi led Xiangyun to the door to express condolences.Na Xiangyun's black hair was tied into a bun with silver utensils, and he was wearing a satin jacket with moon-white plum blossoms and dark patterns, a plain white satin skirt, and a water-colored cloak.She entered the coffin shed, and when she saw Jia Mu's coffin, she knelt on the ground and cried uncontrollably.Mrs. Wang was afraid that Mrs. Shihou's face would not look good, so she hurriedly asked someone to help Xiangyun up first, and then asked Baochai to accompany her to talk.Xiangyun didn't pay attention to it just now, but now he sees Baochai standing side by side with Sister Li Wan and Feng in the coffin shed, and Daiyu is gone, and he feels surprised.I never thought that Baoyu would suddenly ask from behind: "Sister Yun, have you seen Sister Lin?"

Xiangyun felt that the question was strange, and looked at Baochai again, only to see that Baochai's cheeks were flushed, and he took Xiangyun's hand and said to her: "Let's talk about it later, too many things have happened at home these days. I'll talk to you slowly." Seeing that Xiangyun was about to leave, Baoyu hurried forward, but Jia Lian was afraid that Baoyu would do something out of the ordinary, so she grabbed him.

Xiangyun asked Baochai to take her into Mrs. Wang's East Courtyard. They went to sit in the Baosha Hall behind them, and then served tea.After Baochai sent Ying'er out, she breathed a sigh of relief, tears rolled down her cheeks, and she couldn't help crying on the table.

Shi Xiangyun was taken aback, she had never seen Baochai lose her composure like this, and she didn't know where to start when she wanted to persuade her.Fortunately, Baochai has always been dignified and self-sufficient, and she has been taking Lengxiang pills for recuperation all year round, so she will be fine after a while.Then he told Xiangyun how Daiyu died, how Baoyu went crazy, and how he married Baoyu at his mother's order.

After Xiangyun heard it, he was also deeply moved.Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly heard Baoyu's voice from outside: "Sister Yun, sister Bao, where are you?" He caught up and asked, "Why didn't you take it over there, and ran here instead?" Baoyu smiled and said stupidly: "They don't pay attention, they can't see me, I sneaked out to find you " Then he pointed to Baochai and Xiangyun, and said, "You are sister Bao, you are sister Yun!" Seeing that Baoyu could recognize people, Baochai was overjoyed and pulled him away. He wanted to go to Mrs. Wang to announce the good news, but Baoyu suddenly threw it away, shook his head at Baochai and said, "No, no, there is no sister Lin, and sister Lin is not here, neither here nor there! Lin Where did my sister go? Sister Lin! Sister Lin!" Then he began to cry, and grabbed Baochai's arm and asked, "My dear sister, where did you hide my sister Lin? I can't find her, can you take me to find her?"

Baochai saw that he was so crazy and inappropriate, so he gritted his teeth and asked Baoyu cruelly, "I didn't hide your sister Lin. Do you really want to know where sister Lin has gone?" Baoyu had never seen Baochai like this. He looked a little scared, but because of Lin Daiyu's whereabouts, he didn't retreat, he just nodded resolutely and said "yes".Seeing him like this, Baochai stared into his eyes and said word by word: "Sister Lin is dead! There is no such person in this world anymore!"

Baoyu was numb, and I didn't know if he understood. He just said over and over again: "Dead? There is no such person?" On the ground, Baochai Xiangyun's face turned ashen, and he hurriedly asked someone to invite the doctor to see him.

Mrs. Wang also knew that something had happened here, and seeing that there were not many relatives and friends paying respects, she entrusted Li Wan with all matters before the funeral, and she hurried over by herself.As soon as he came, he saw that Yinger and Cuilu had helped Baoyu up. He called several women to help him, carried Baoyu back to the room, and urged the doctor to come.
