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

Baoyu fell into a drowsy sleep, and walked into a courtyard unconsciously in her sleep, and saw banana leaves spread out, roses all over the frame, the breeze was blowing, and the fragrance was flying.Behind the rose frame, there seemed to be the sound of a woman laughing.Baoyu quickly turned around the flower stand, but saw Qingwen Fangguan playing there.Baoyu was overjoyed, and shouted after her sister and sister, but the two of them ignored him.When Baoyu stepped forward, he wanted to pull Qingwen.Unexpectedly, before touching Qingwen's sleeve, she suddenly saw Mrs. Wang's face full of anger, and called a group of evil spirits to pull Qingwen and Fang Guan two out, and they begged Baoyu to save them.Baoyu was about to intercede, when he saw Jia Zhengzheng with tears on his face, scolding him for lingering in the boudoir, not knowing how to study his career, failing the trust of his ancestors, wanting to use a big stick and breaking the family law, Baoyu turned around and ran away in fright.I don't know how far he ran, but he seemed to come to a mountain again, surrounded by strange flowers and trees, red plum blossoms in full bloom, as bright as clouds.Baoyu was fascinated by the beautiful scenery in front of him, and had long forgotten all the mundane things. Suddenly, the sound of a zither came out from the depths of the mountain depression like a phoenix. With a fall, he woke up suddenly from the dream.Baoyu is still a little confused, looking around, there is no official Qingwen, let alone Mrs. Jia Zhengwang. He is currently in the Zen room of an ancient nunnery.

In Baoyu's heart, there seemed to be something lost, and there seemed to be the sound of bells and drums in the distance.Jiang Yuhan asked outside the door: "Is the second master awake?" After calling twice, Bao Yufang replied: "I'm awake, just come in."

Seeing that there were still tears on Baoyu's face, Jiang Yuhan didn't say anything, and said with a smile: "It's the fourth watch, where is the boat coming from the ferry, the second grandma said let's go down earlier and wait, don't ask the boatman to wait for us!"

Baoyu had never been on a boat before and asked, "Why is it so early?" Jiang Yuhan said with a smile: "I don't know, this Guazhou ancient ferry connects the Bianshui River, goes south to Jinling, and goes north to Yangzhou. It is the most prosperous place. All the merchants and merchants traveling from south to north are waiting for the ferry. The boat leaves early, and when it reaches the opposite bank, it happens to be the time when the rooster crows. If you wait until dawn before sailing, it will be noon when you reach the other side, and you will have wasted a day for nothing, wasting those people's affairs, and the boatman has been complained about, so the boats here will sail early." Baoyu sighed after hearing this. Suddenly, he was speechless.

A group of people took advantage of the moonlight to go down the mountain, Xichun sent them to the mountain gate, saw them go, and closed the nunnery door tightly.Half a bright moon hangs above the nine heavens, and according to the winding mountain road, the bluestone slabs are already covered with hoarfrost.

On the ancient ferry corridor bridge, many people had already gathered, waiting for the ferry to dock. Baochai glanced at Baoyu and couldn't help sighing: "Who in this world is idle? Who doesn't go around with spirit and face?" Asking for a living, asking for food? Nine times out of ten, life is unsatisfactory, who can live a happy life? Who can live a lifetime by relying on their mother?" Baoyu heard it but still didn't say a word, Baochai had no choice but to drag Jiang Yuhan and others They went to the pier to wait for the boat, and handed Baoyu over to Sheyue to take care of her.

When Baoyu saw that Baochai and others had left, he breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the caisson pavilion, with Sheyue following behind.

The caisson pavilion was originally built by good people to remember Du Shiniang's story. Baoyu loved to read these wild histories at home in the past years. Traitor, poor generation of beauties, drifting with the water, never ending well.Now that he has arrived in the caisson pavilion today, he can't help but sigh secretly.When he was about to sit down and rest in the pavilion, Musk Moon hurriedly said: "Second Master, don't sit down, the world is cold, and if you sit in these places, you may get sick. Let's wait a while, Second Mistress and the others will be back soon."

Baoyu looked back at Sheyue, and suddenly remembered the situation in her dream last night, and felt heartbroken. For a moment, she didn't know how to distinguish herself from Sun Lizhi, so she couldn't help crying, and wiped her sleeves again, and said to Sheyue He smiled and said: "It's okay, I won't sit down. My old man is at home, and I heard about this place from that boy Mingyan, and since I happened to be here today, I want to come up and have a look. I just don't know where that monkey boy Mingyan is now. , Are those people treating him well?" After speaking, Baoyu couldn't hold back anymore, and began to cry.Sheyue heard Baoyu mention the old man, and her heart was sore. Seeing Baoyu crying endlessly, she could only bear with herself, and persuaded Baoyu, "Don't worry, the second master. Mingyan, a ghost, can go wherever he goes." It's not his fault. It's the second master. If I say something, the second master should not be disrespectful. The second master should be better to the second grandma. We are in such a poor situation now that the second grandma has never disliked us. On the contrary, she has arranged everything properly Tie, you are considerate to the second master and us people, what more can the second master ask for after marrying such a daughter-in-law?" After speaking, he sighed and continued: "I know that the second master has Miss Lin in his heart, but Miss Lin It's dead, and life will always pass. Our second mistress is not inferior to Miss Lin in terms of appearance and handling. Although the second mistress often says things that the second master doesn't like to hear, those words are all right. Isn't it true that the second master is a man? To waste a lifetime like this? Not to mention the second mistress, even the old man and his wife can't rest assured if they look at it in the sky."

The moon shadow gradually sank to the west, and I don't know how long it took. Baoyu said, "I know." Sheyue didn't know whether he really knew or pretended to know, so she sighed and let him go.

After a while, Xiren greeted them to board the boat outside the pavilion, and Musk Moon helped Baoyu to the ferry.

Because of the lack of money, Baochai and others only rented a small boat, and Baoyu and others boarded the boat. When the boat was about to sail, they suddenly heard shouts from the river bank.Baochai and others climbed out of the cabin to look around, and saw a scrawny woman on the covered bridge limping towards this side, yelling at the boatman as she walked, as if she wanted to take a boat.Even though it was in the south, it was the coldest winter, when a drop of water could turn into ice, but the woman was only wearing a tattered single dress, and she was shivering from the cold.If she is not asked to board the boat, she is afraid that she will freeze to death in Guazhou Gudu.Seeing Baochai's unbearable expression, the shipowner laughed and said, "This woman has been here for two or three days, and she wants to take a boat, but she has no money. Who will let her come up? I advise this lady not to go on board." Too kind, there are refugees all over the place these years, if you accidentally get involved with rebels, it will be a crime of ransacking your family and exterminating your family." Baoyu sneered and turned back to the warehouse.Baochai didn't care about him, but asked Xiren to take out five hundred coins, stuffed them into the owner's hand, and said with a smile: "I don't think this person is a bad person, let alone what rebellion can she do as a single woman? You just put her on board, and we will pay for her ship." The owner of the ship counted the big money in his hand, and said with a smile on his face: "Come on, she met a good man today, since the wife gave up I’ll pay for the boat, and I’ll do this business.” After speaking, he shouted to the people on the shore: “Then beggar, hurry up and get on the boat, there’s a good man here who paid the boat fee for you!”

The woman boarded the boat with great gratitude, and the boatman felt disgusted when he saw her courtesy, waved his hand and told her to thank Baochai.The lady walked up to Baochai with her feet down and her head down, and thanked her in a hoarse voice. Baochai hurriedly asked Yinger to help her into the cabin.

I never thought that when the woman heard Ying'er's name, she raised her head suddenly, and took advantage of the moonlight to look carefully at Baochai.Baochai was wondering, when she suddenly heard the woman crying, "Sister Bao, are you Sister Bao? I'm Xiangyun!" Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, Xiren was the first to run up, He supported Xiangyun, looked and looked, and cried: "Miss Yun! It's Miss Yun! Good girl, what's wrong with you? How did you make it like this?"
