Red Mansions Are Floating Clouds

That's right, I'll go back to catch up on sleep

Mother Jia waited outside the gate of Rongguo Mansion for half an hour before being told that Yuan Chun would not be able to return until after the second watch in the evening, so everyone went back to their rooms to rest except for Sister Feng.

In the evening, lamps were lit everywhere in the mansion. Jiamu and others waited outside the gate for a long time before Yuanchun's Fengyu arrived late.

Daiyu, Baoyu and Aunt Xue's mother and daughter were waiting in Daiyu's room. From time to time, a little girl would come to report that the empress had gone to the garden, or that the empress had left the garden and came this way.

After a while, Jiamu's yard was full of court ladies and eunuchs. Yuanchun entered Jiamu's main room and Baochai saw Yuanchun from the window wearing a phoenix crown, wearing a yellow robe, embroidered with golden dragon and phoenix patterns. Envy is jealousy, if I was able to enter the palace back then, maybe I would have such glory

Aunt Xue also regretted that at the beginning, if she had restrained some pan'er at that time and prevented him from going out to cause trouble, Baochai's appearance would not worry about not being able to enter the palace.

After the housekeepers and deacons in the mansion saluted Yuanchun, the eunuch passed on Aunt Xue, Aunt Xue, Baochai and Daiyu to meet him.

Daiyu and Baochai followed Aunt Xue into the main hall of Jia Mu. Yuan Chun sat at the head, and the maids and eunuchs standing on both sides bowed their eyes obediently.

When it was time to kneel down to pay the state salute, Yuan Chun was in a hurry to avoid the ceremony, and Aunt Xue and the three went up to see Yuan Chun one by one, but it was just a few words of greeting.

Also, the maids brought into the palace in Yuanchun held the qin and kowtowed to Jia Mu and others. The chaos passed, and the eunuchs and maids also retreated to the other room to entertain them. Except for the four young eunuchs, these relatives were in the room.

Mrs. Wang and Jiamu chatted with Yuanchun about housework and personal affairs. Daiyu sat aside and couldn't get in the conversation, so she just lowered her head slightly and pretended to listen. Getting closer, the jewels on Yuanchun's phoenix crown and Xiapei seem to dazzle people's eyes, not to mention the dragon and phoenix decoration on the phoenix crown, and the dragon patterns woven with gold thread on the clothes, which make people feel humble

For a while, Jia Zheng greeted him outside the curtain, and said a cliché of eulogizing the saint. Yuan Chun was so excited that his eyes were filled with tears, but after hearing this, he became miraculously calm.

After Jia Zheng stepped down, Yuan Chun looked at Baochai and Daiyu who were sitting first, they were outstanding talents, suddenly remembered Baoyu, and hurriedly ordered Baoyu to come in and visit the garden.

After the banquet, the main event came. Yuan Chun first took up a pen and gave names to several places, and then ordered Baoyu to compose a poem for Xiaoxiang Pavilion and other four places. All the sisters wrote a plaque and a poem at will.

Daiyu took up a pen and wrote a corresponding hymn, and then whispered and laughed with Tanchun on the side. Baoyu on the other side scratched his head anxiously, and only wrote two poems, and the third poem had the word "green jade" in the beginning sentence. When Baochai saw it, he pushed him and said, "You forgot that she changed the word because she didn't like it, and you still write it?"

Baoyu wiped his sweat and said, "What should I change it to? I can't think of anything at the moment." Baochai smiled and said, "You don't know the ready-made allusions. Just change green jade into green wax?"

Baoyu suddenly remembered, and said with a smile: "Damn it, I just can't remember what is in front of me. From now on, I will only call you Master, and I will not call you sister anymore."

Baochai felt slightly displeased, so she just smiled and said, "The one in the yellow robe is your sister," and walked away.

Yuanchun sat at the top and took in everything. From the beginning, Baochai peeked at her attire from time to time, and just laughed it off as a little girl's envy. One, talking and laughing, showing little respect

Yuan Chun looked at it and frowned secretly. His mother once said that Baochai was stable and Daiyu was frivolous, but now it seems that it is the opposite.

Daiyu knew that she was not as quick-witted as Daiyu in the original novel, so naturally she would not take the initiative to help Baoyu compose poems, but it seemed that Baochai was too frivolous and always circled around Baoyu, which was unexpected

Everyone sent poems up, and as expected, Daiyu and Baochai were still praised

It was already past midnight, and Daiyu couldn't keep her eyes open when she was listening to the play, she was only thinking about when she would be able to sleep, and finally when it was time to give gifts, Daiyu cheered up and thanked everyone, the deacon and eunuch came forward Qidao: "It's been three quarters, please drive back to Luan"

Needless to say, Yuan Chun dragged Mrs. Jia Muwang and cried again. After all, she still reluctantly went to the court.

Everyone has exhausted their energy for days, and they are really exhausted. They all have some leisure time to recuperate. Only Sister Feng is not free, and she has to do her best to support her.

On this day, Xiren's mother went back and forth to Jiamu in person, and took Xiren home to eat New Year's tea, and she had to come back at night. Baoyu ordered Xiren to keep it for dinner, and went back to Jiamu to watch a play in Ningguo Mansion.

No.30 Six Times Attacking People Home

Xiren's mother hired a car to pick up Xiren. When they got home, Xiren's brother Hua Zifang and several cousins ​​were there, and everyone was talking and laughing happily.

Xiren was wearing silk and satin, and gold and silver jewels on her head. She didn't look like a maid, but more like a mistress. Several cousins ​​were very envious. This one touched her clothes, that one Look at her hairpin Sg

Xiren was a little impatient at being pulled and pulled, and he didn't like the shallow-sighted appearance of these cousins, and seeing that there was nothing wrong at home, and it was getting more and more prosperous, after a few words, he had to push the house and couldn't get away I want to go back to Jiafu

Seeing that Xiren was impatient, Xiren's mother was afraid that she would leave if she got angry, so she hurriedly pulled her aside and whispered: "Now that you are grown up, our family is not as difficult as it was then. Redeem you, and find you a good husband's family when the time comes, and send you out, what do you think?"

Xiren was like hearing a thunderbolt from the blue sky, thinking that he had finally coaxed Baoyu into his hands, and now he is submissive. In a few years, he will be a ready-made aunt. Sell ​​me when you have money, but at this time you think of me again Now that you have money, I advise you to live in peace and not worry about my life or death!"

Seeing what Xiren said, Xiren's mother seemed unwilling to redeem herself, and laughed again: "It was impossible to sell you at that time, but now that the family has money, your brother and I want to take you in." Come out to live a good life Your uncle said that the second shopkeeper of the big silk and satin Zhuang Yi Lin Xiang's wife died, and he was asking him to make love, saying that as long as the girl from a rich family, you will be fourteen this year, so it's a good time to make love this year and get married next year, isn't it? Tsk tsk, you don't know, the second innkeeper is handsome and talented, and the one who died didn't leave a male and a half female, you will be the head of the house when you get married, you can enjoy endless blessings!"

Before he finished speaking, Xi Qiqi cried: "It's not enough to sell me once, are you still thinking about selling it again? I don't care if he is the second shopkeeper or the big shopkeeper, don't even think that I will be willing!"

Xiren's mother was so excited that she wanted to find a good home for her daughter, but who knew that she was so angry that she didn't dare to speak for a while.

Hua Zifang was chatting and laughing with a cousin in a pink jacket. Seeing that her sister was angry, she hurried over and said, "Why are you crying, mother, you go and cook, I will persuade my sister."

Xiren's mother took the opportunity to go out to cook, Xiren was persuaded by Hua Zifang's soft words, and she couldn't bring up the matter of going back to Jia's house. After washing her face and evening her makeup, Xiren went to talk to her cousins ​​again. gone

Here Hua Zifang went to the kitchen and asked, "What did my sister say?"

Xiren's mother said unhappily: "Pull me up, if it weren't for her sending home a tael of silver a month, I would have slapped my ears!"

Hua Zifang persuaded: "Mother, don't worry, I'm asking you, did she agree to bring the eldest cousin in to serve Master Bao?"

Xiren's mother said: "I was planning to tell her about Yi Linxiang's second shopkeeper, and then talk about your eldest cousin's entry into the mansion while she is happy. Who knows that this little hoof even looks down on Yi Linxiang's second shopkeeper It really pissed me off!"

Hua Zifang said: "Thanks to my sister, we are living better now, mother, please bear with it, since she doesn't want to come out anyway, we will take less of the dowry in case my sister becomes the aunt of some young master in the future, Are you afraid that there will be no money for you?"

Xiren's mother curled her lips and said: "It's not that I said something frustrating, I also had this idea, but since I met those maids in Bao Erye's house, I don't have the confidence. I haven't seen those maids, they are really like fairies in the sky, a hundred times stronger than your sister, which young master would let a maid like a fairy not to fall in love with her?"

Hua Zifang didn't think so, she just tried to persuade her to calm down and not to annoy Xi Ren, so she went into the house anyway.

After eating, Xiren seemed to be happy too, Xiren's mother said cautiously: "I see that there are quite a lot of maids in Master Bao's house, you can't usually do much work, right?"

Xiren laughed and said, "What kind of work can you do? There are sixteen maidservants, big and small, who serve Baoyu, and there are also women who educate, nurse, and make rough envoys. There are dozens of people in total, and all of them are idle."

A cousin exclaimed: "There are so many people serving him, how can he order him?"

After hearing this, Xiren sneered and said: "What is this? It's just a matter of a few taels of silver. The master of our cousin Lin's family is the current secretary of the Ministry of Industry. I heard that a female teacher is hired for 500 taels of silver a year. I teach for a year. Still keep it and don't let it go!"

Everyone was stunned and speechless after hearing this.

After a while, Xiren's mother smiled and said: "Since you enjoy the blessings like this, why don't you bring your eldest cousin into the mansion to serve Master Bao, and let her enjoy the blessings for a few days?" Hua Zifang also looked at Xiren earnestly.

Xiren looked at his eldest cousin, she was 15 years old this year, and she was wearing a bright red skirt, like blooming flowers. After hearing this, she lowered her head and rubbed the corners of her clothes, as if she was very willing. Xindao was waiting for me here

I saw my brother Hua Zifang was there all morning to curry favor with my second cousin
