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

It was completely dark, and the snow was smashing down with hailstones the size of eggs.Jia Zheng looked at the sky and let out a long sigh.At this time, he had no intention of dealing with Mrs. Wang's funeral, so he asked Lai and his wife to follow the family rules.Lai everyone didn't dare to be self-confident, so he first went to Mrs. Wang to find Li Wan's instructions.Li Wan's face was flushed from crying early, and when everyone asked Lai to ask, he looked at Baochai.

At that time Aunt Xue had not yet been buried, and Mrs. Wang died suddenly. Baochai was in a dilemma. Moreover, she had not been here for a long time and was not familiar with the rules of Jia's house, so it was difficult for her to make up her mind.Seeing that Baochai didn't speak, Li Wan thought for a while and said, "It's not proper for us to cry here, we should call someone to help the wife sleep, and we all changed into mourning clothes, we should get off the partition door It's time to hang up the curtain. My wife's death is not peaceful, so I should stop for a few more days and find some eminent monks to recite scriptures to save people. Now there are accidents at home one after another, and this day is also weird. It doesn't seem to be a good omen, so I should look for it. A few mages come to do the practice, and see if there is anything wrong."

When Baochai heard this, she nodded and said, "Sister-in-law is right. I don't know if our wife's birthday materials have been prepared." Her question stopped Li Wan from asking. Fortunately, Zhou Rui's family was also waiting in the room. Seeing Baochai's question, He hurriedly said: "When my wife got married, the Wang family brought a good board with me, and now it is stored upstairs in the back." Li Wan said: "Since there is a good board, why don't you hurry up and take it down? What are you waiting for?" Before the words finished, there was another rumbling thunder outside, and the wind became more and more violent, with snowflakes and hailstones slapping on the window screen, and the pulled window screen rattled and rattled.The wind came in through the crack of the window, blew out a whistling whistle, and made the candlelight in the room flicker, reflecting Mrs. Wang's ashen face that was bright and dark for a while, making it look extraordinarily ferocious.

Li Wan was a little frightened, and looked back at Baochai, Baochai's heart was pounding, and she also looked at Li Wan.The two wanted to peek at each other, but for a moment they both looked at Baoyu. Baoyu was lying on Mrs. Wang's body and weeping bitterly.Baochai couldn't help sighing, it was raining and raining outside, and the hailstones were falling, so naturally the filial piety shed couldn't be built, and relatives and friends couldn't come over, so they had to discuss with Li Wan, and first asked the women of Zhou Rui's family to fix the mooring bed and put the king's bed in bed. Madam moored upright, placed the incense burner and pots, and asked the girl to go out and bring in the yellow paper money.Several people guarded Mrs. Wang's spirit, and made plans at dawn.

Due to successive incidents in the mansion, everyone was exhausted long ago, so even though they are spirit companions, they inevitably feel sleepy and doze off unavoidably.That Baochai had been guarding Aunt Xue's spirit last night, but today she struggled to get through the middle of the night, but couldn't stand it anymore, her eyes were foggy, and she fell asleep at some point or for how long. She just woke up.I saw Qingguang coming in through the window screen, Baochai looked around, Li Wan was propping her head on her hands, leaning on the table and closing her eyes, I don't know if she was asleep or not, Yu Chuan and the others were all in a mess, sitting crookedly or squinting. Shaking wildly, the fire in the crock pot had long since gone out, and the unburned yellow paper was blown all over the room by the morning wind.

Baochai looked around, but could not see Baoyu.She was worried, and afraid of shocking everyone.I had no choice but to tiptoe out of the back door alone and head west towards Jilangzhai.

As soon as he entered Jilang Zhai, he saw Baoyu sitting behind the desk with a book of the doctrine of the mean in his hand. Baochai was also surprised when he saw it, and walked forward unconsciously, only to see that Baoyu was holding the book, but his eyes were blank. In a daze, tears fell down uninterruptedly, and he muttered something in his mouth.Seeing Baochai come in, he put down his book, raised his head, and said with a sob, "Sister Bao, I deserve to die!"Baochai hurried over and hugged him in his arms. Baoyu leaned in Baochai's arms, weeping bitterly, unable to speak a word.Baochai couldn't help shedding tears. While patting Baoyu lightly, she comforted him and said, "Why did you say that? It's all caused by them? How can you blame it?" Baoyu cried Weeping, sobbing, he said: "Why don't you blame me? If I can study hard, why would my wife die with hatred? Sister Lin is dead, so is the eldest sister, the third sister is gone, and now even the wife is gone. ! What's the point of me staying in this world alone?"

Baochai was going to take this opportunity to persuade him to learn some practical ways of dealing with the world, so that if he doesn't go to the imperial examination to become an official in the future, he can manage a family anyway, but the more he talks, the more he doesn't look like it, and the more he talks, the more frustrated he becomes.Baochai said seriously: "What are you talking about? Even if the wife has gone, there is still the master, and sister Lin is gone, and I am still here! I ask myself if I am sorry for you or your place. If you really feel It’s not good for me, and I can go down and beg myself, but I’m gone, who’s not the case? You’re not too young now, you should find a way to take care of this mess at home!”

Baoyu just felt heartbroken. He had made up his mind to go back to study, so that he could gain fame as soon as possible and comfort his parents.Unexpectedly, as he was reading, he thought of the happiness of the past again, and now he saw that there was nothing left, everyone was dead and scattered, and the Grand View Garden was deserted. Tears came again, and people were stunned.

Now I asked Baochai to make a noise again, and I felt more and more boring. I was stunned for a while, and suddenly came to my senses, and said in a low voice: "There is nothing to worry about when you come and go naked!" After finishing speaking, he suddenly laughed again. : "Hahaha, you come and go naked without worry! Since you came here naked, why worry about it?" After finishing speaking, he was about to go out like a fool. Pulling him back, the cloud board outside rang four times. Baochai had no choice but to persuade him: "If you want to realize the Tao, it will not be today. If you want to realize the Tao, you should get rid of all the ties of the world before you go. My wife will take care of you, you It's time to die for her. This is the fate you owe, it's your karma, and if you have karma, you have to repay it."

When Baoyu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, he found it reasonable, changed his filial clothes, and went outside. Baochai couldn't help shaking his head and lamenting, then called Musk Moon in, and told her to follow Baoyu well.

Seeing that Sheyue went with Baoyu, Baochai fell on the chair and cried for a while, asking Yinger to lock the door, and the two of them went back to Xue's house first.

At this moment, Aunt Xue's spirit was also resting on the mooring bed. There were only a few women in the house looking at the burnt paper, and no one came to express their condolences. Only the white filial curtains danced around the room, making it even more desolate and desolate.Baochai knelt before Aunt Xue's spirit, and couldn't bear it any longer. She fell on the ground and cried until the sky was dim, and Ying'er and others were also crying.

The author has something to say:

Baochai: "The thing I regret the most in my life is letting Baoyu know the phrase 'come and go with nothing to worry about'"
