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

Here, Jia Zhen was persuading Uncle Xing, when someone from You Shi suddenly sent someone to look for him to ask for a sacrificial vessel. Then Jia Zhen told the person, and then Heishanzhuang came to send the renter, and Shaoqing was the nephew of the family to pick it up. annual case.Even though Jia Rongyou was handed over to Jia Rongyou for all these things, he still had to go to work and worry about it himself. Everyone at the banquet saw that he had a lot of things to do, and they all dispersed after drinking for a while.

In a twinkling of an eye, it was the 29th of the twelfth lunar month. Because Jiamu's old illness was recovering and she often repeated it, Jia Zheng sent a petition to ask for the exemption of Jiamu's court congratulations. Today, Shangsulong is a filial piety and a meritorious official. Seeing this petition, I know that she is the widow of Rong Guogong. , the grandmother of the virtuous concubine, hurriedly sent angels to comfort her, and exempted the congratulatory ceremony of the female family members of the Jia family, and also gave countless medicinal materials and supplements. Everyone in the Jia family knelt down to thank God.

On New Year's Eve the next day, although the sky was cloudy, it never snowed. The servants of the family swept away the remaining snow and gathered several snowdrifts.Because of the amount of snow, several snowdrifts were actually as high as someone, and it took the first month for someone to transport them away.

However, people in Jia's mansion still came to Jia Mu's main house after offering sacrifices to the ancestral hall. As soon as they entered the door, they faced the red sandalwood carved pine tree hundred cranes and Ganoderma lucidum screen bestowed by Yuanchun. Either sleeping or waking up, or combing feathers or flapping wings, or standing with one's head held high or entwined with one's neck intertwined, they are in various poses and with different expressions, lifelike.On the kang table are a pair of sour branch fragrant pigs respected outside. The red and smiling naive pigs are very gratifying. They each carry a pair of bats with copper coins and longevity peaches on their backs, which means good fortune and longevity.Jia Mu liked it when she saw it, so she said a reward.It's rare for everyone to see Jia's mother happy, and they all say auspicious words for fun.

At night, lanterns were hung everywhere in Fuzhong Garden, including those made of paper, sand cages, and crystal glass. Lanterns of various colors reflected the snowy sea and silver waves beside the road, illuminating the entire Jia Mansion as if it were daytime.When it was time for her son, Mother Jia led all the women's relatives to burn incense, worshiped the Bodhisattva, and worshiped the heaven and the earth.

Because Mrs. Wang has taken it, in previous years, all the banquets of relatives and friends, and the New Year's opera wine were all waived, and even Baoyu was fine all day long. Every morning after the morning inspection, I went to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion to see Daiyu taking medicine.One should taste the bait and diet.

It was past the Lantern Festival, and Daiyu had already taken the medicine and was lying on the Arhat's bed, watching Chunxian feed the parrot, but Baoyu brought in a woman who was holding red sandalwood and painted gold medicine king Bodhisattva, and asked Xueyan to clean up the incense table. , asked Zicuckoo to bring incense, respected the Buddha and sat down. Seeing this, Daiyu smiled and said: "You usually slander monks and Taoism, and never ask about these strange things. Why do you fall down now?" Moved this toil to me?" Baoyu looked at her and said with a smile: "Jingxu from the temple of my son's family came to talk to the old lady, saying that if a person gets sick, it's always bad, that's why the little ghost is entangled. It can’t be cured without offering to the Medicine King Bodhisattva. I went out to visit the family temple yesterday, and asked for one for the old lady, and another for you. If you make daily offerings, maybe your illness will be cured.”

When Daiyu heard what he said, she was both amused and moved in her heart, because she teased him and said, "Why didn't you see you pray to God and Buddha when you lost your jade a while ago? Maybe you will find it after you ask for it." Baoyu listened He smiled and said: "What is there to look for in that jade? It's not that you don't know, I wish he would be lost, if I didn't look at the old lady, I would have thrown him out a long time ago, so why wait for today?" He took a pillow and leaned on the floor.Daiyu smiled and said, "I know you don't care about that jade, but I don't know how many people have been hurt by throwing this jade. Yesterday, sister Xiren came to talk with me, and I saw that she was so thin that she lost her shape. Listen She said that because of your piece of jade, my wife threw me out." Baoyu sneered and said, "My wife originally wanted to change all the people in my house, including the attacker. I said no, how can anyone care about me? Later, the old man spoke, saying that the old lady in the new year is also sick, and she should have done more good deeds, but she beat and kicked out people because of her troubles. After the new year, just look for it slowly. The wife just gave up. If this is the case, Xiaoyan and Bihen will be kicked out."

Hearing this, Daiyu sighed, "I shouldn't have said this, but we've all been watching it all these years. Sister Xiren really did her best to serve you. Besides, she's a nice person, not one of those who fight you." The bridge stoked the fire, and the blustery Qinglang who drove her away, where can you find such a person? If she goes, how can people trust you?" Speaking of this, she suddenly blushed. , turned away, and coughed twice.When Baoyu heard this, he felt intimate and felt relieved. For a moment, he lost his mind and moved his face closer to him and asked, "Why is my sister worried?" On his face, he turned his back and sighed: "Yes, why am I worried? What is there to worry about?" Baoyu was already insane, got off the couch and sat next to Daiyu, leaning into her ear and smiling : "My heart is the same as Qing's, and I will definitely live up to Qing's love." Hearing this, Daiyu's cheeks and ears were red, her pink face was full of anger, her eyebrows and eyes were angry, she sat up and pointed at Baoyu and cried: "Second brother What nonsense are you talking about? Why are you saying these things again to bully me?" Baoyu also knew that Meng Lang had slipped his tongue at the moment, and hurriedly apologized with a smile, while Daiyu's eyes were already red, and she clamored for Zijuan to serve tea to the guests. Baoyu was in a hurry, begging Daiyu on the one hand, and blocking Zijuan on the other. Seeing his busy appearance, Daiyu sneered and laughed early, and said, "Who allows you to be so frivolous? I must tell my uncle and aunt." Go." But Baoyu said, "You know why I have ever been frivolous? But if I say a word of falsehood to my sister, I will turn into a tortoise in the next life with rotten sores all over my face." Daiyu spit out hastily: "Bah, I don't know what a taboo it is to swear in the first month of the lunar year." Just as I was talking, I suddenly saw an attacker rushing in, and said, "Go back and change your clothes, the old man from Xinglong Street is here, and the old man called You talk with me." Baoyu felt disappointed when he heard this, and muttered: "Didn't you say that he was relegated to Beijing last year? Why are you here to avoid the cold at New Year's Eve?" Daiyu was calling Zi Juan Haosheng sent him out, and couldn't help covering his mouth and giggling when he heard his crazy words.

After sending Baoyu away, she welcomed Baochai again. The two sisters chatted and laughed for a while, and played a game of chess. Because it was snowing outside, Daiyu invited Baochai to share her bed for lunch.The two talked about poetry for a while, and then thought of Xiangling again.Daiyu sighed: "A few years ago, you brought her into the garden, and I taught her to compose poems. We people started the poetry club, ate venison and wrote riddles on lanterns. How enjoyable it was. Who would have thought that she would disappear just like that? How can I not feel sad?" Baochai said: "It's just a personal fate. You teach her to write poetry when she is alive, but now that she is gone, you read it or not, what's the point of being sad or not? " Daiyu was stunned when she heard this, and said in a low voice: "Yes, each person has his own destiny, but I don't know where you and I will go?" You are a clever person, why are you worrying about nothing? Let's just live well now, who knows what will happen in the future? Now you just take good care of your body, and you will earn a dowry from your ancestors in the future. Anyway, left hand out right hand Come in, can’t you lose anything?” Daiyu listened carefully at first, but when she heard about the dowry and heard about the left hand coming out and the right hand going in, she blushed and said angrily, “I think you’re a good person, who knows that you’re also like that screwdriver. People make fun of people." Baochai leaned into Daiyu's ear and whispered, "My mother told me that when my uncle's funeral is over in a few days, I will go matchmaking with the old lady. At that time, it will not be a dowry left hand." Out right hand in?" Daiyu blushed so much that she was about to bleed, she smiled and wanted to tear Baochai's mouth, the two quarreled for a while, and after noon tiredness was relieved, they parted ways.
