Love of Friends in the Red Chamber

The Mid-Autumn Banquet on August [-]th ended in a frenzy, but the public case that happened under the plum tree at the gate of Quicui Temple was unknown to everyone in the two houses.

It turned out that Baoyu was sitting on the table at that time, hoping to see Daiyu, who knew that all the female relatives were behind the screen, but now he can no longer sit and joke with his sisters relying on Jiamu's favor, let alone His father was still staring at him sullenly.So I got bored, couldn't sit still at the table, and saw that everyone was too reserved and didn't talk or laugh, so I escaped from the table with excuses and went out to the hillside to sigh.

It just so happened that Miaoyu had finished her evening class in Changcui Nunnery. Seeing the bright moonlight, the bright lights on the top of the mountain, the noisy voices of people, adding to the loneliness, she couldn't help but come out from the corner gate alone, stepping on the moon to enjoy the scenery, and walked away unconsciously. When I arrived on the hillside, I happened to meet the bored Baoyu standing under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree.

Miaoyu is a deformed person, and she has no desire to defend herself against men and women. She has not seen Baoyu for many days, and she is thinking of herself. He walked behind Baoyu and said softly, "Baoyu, why are you so thin?"

Baoyu was just thinking about it, when she turned her head and saw Miaoyu standing there, spotless, and her heart was in a trance, and she didn't care about being abrupt, so she replied: "The belt is getting wider and I will never regret it, because Yixiao makes people haggard. You are an outsider, can you appreciate my painstaking efforts?" Miaoyu sighed and turned to leave, but Baoyu grabbed her.

"Don't leave me, please don't go away, look, how depressed this garden has become... The old sisters are gone, and only you are a pure daughter."

Miaoyu sighed softly, "The prosperity and the decline are the reincarnation of the unhappy way of heaven. Even I have to leave this garden." Baoyu was shocked and said, "You want to go too? Where are you going?" Yu turned her head and said quietly: "Go where I should go. If a wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall, this garden will not be able to protect me. Naturally, I will find another clean place."

Baoyu said anxiously: "Why? Why?" Miaoyu couldn't help but shed tears, and said for a long time: "About ten years ago, my family was as prosperous as your Jia's. How happy my parents, brothers and sisters are! In a blink of an eye, it is like a passing cloud. , I escaped by luck, and I had to escape into the empty door, alone, and had to live in this Grand View Garden. My life experience, your old lady is the best. She and my grandmother were close friends in the boudoir. I was lonely and sheltered me as an orphan for several years. But now the big tree is about to fall, and under the overturned nest, there will be no eggs, so I have to leave."

Baoyu was stunned when she heard that, Miaoyu had all kinds of feelings in her heart, but she couldn't say it out, but she knew that if she didn't say it tonight, she would have no chance to say it out again.Baoyu asked stupidly: "When are you leaving? Remember to let me know, and I will see you off."

Miaoyu wept and said: "Let's leave now, there will be no date later. Why say goodbye? I just can't let go of one thing in my heart, and I always have to ask clearly, so this trip has been delayed again and again. I just met you today, so I want to ask Please understand, please be at ease, and go to the ends of the earth, there will be no worries. Baoyu, you have to tell me the truth in your heart." Baoyu asked, "What do you want to ask? Naturally, I dare not hide it."

Miaoyu then raised her head, her face under the moonlight was as pure as jade, and the tears glistened, she fixedly looked at Baoyu, and asked: "Baoyu, if I am not a monk, if I am also like these sisters in your family, would you Will you love me? Will you marry me?"

Baoyu had never heard such fiery words, even though he had an unforgettable love with Daiyu before, he never dared to reveal the slightest bit, but just hid his sincerity in a few words, trying to test it out, how could he hear such an emotional confession?For a moment, like five thunders, he stayed there.

After a while Baoyu said: "Of course I love you. No matter what your status is, I have always loved you in the past and now. However, how can I give you a promise to marry you? I can't help myself. Even my sister Lin and my wife can't tolerate it, so how dare I say who I'm going to marry?"

Miaoyu held back her tears and said softly: "Anyway, your words are enough. From now on, the mountains and rivers will be far away, and I will always remember them." Baoyu, let me ask you one more question, if you could be the master yourself, if you had to choose between me and your sister Lin, who would you choose?"

She didn't turn around, just waited with a faint hope. For a long time, she didn't hear a sound, her heart sank slowly, and finally she made up her mind and walked quickly. Just as she walked down the hill, her arms fell Being pulled back, looking back, it was Baoyu.With tears on her face, Baoyu said hurriedly, "Miaoyu, I will go with you. I will go wherever you go."

Miaoyu's heart was in a mess. Before she could speak, she heard the sound of footsteps coming from the other side of the mountain road, and then a group of people swarmed over. Jia Zheng was walking in front, his nose and eyes crooked with anger. Followed by Jia Huan, who had a smug expression on his face.Seeing the situation in front of him, Jia Zheng didn't say much, just looked around tremblingly, picked up a branch as thick as an arm from the grass, and hit Baoyu head-on, but Baoyu hadn't recovered from his infatuation. If he didn't guard against such a heavy hand from his father, he didn't even dodge it, so he was hit on the forehead, bleeding, and before he passed out on the ground, he only cared about one thing: how could Miaoyu escape?

That night, there was a lot of noise in the Grand View Garden for half the night. Mrs. Wang tried her best to save Baoyu's life under Jia Zheng's stick. When I came to see Baoyu's head and face was covered with blood, Jia Mu was so frightened that she almost fainted. She cried and carried Baoyu back to her room. He was hit several times, not to mention the scars on his body.Baoyu was in a coma for three days before being rescued. After waking up, she had no spirituality and was in a daze.

Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang and Baochai watched over and cried again and again, but Jia Zheng was determined to pretend that he had not given birth to this son, so he didn't hear about it, and whenever someone mentioned the word "Baoyu", he would severely reprimand him.

But Jia Amnesty made a big fuss that day, and Jia Cong knew that the banquet would not end, so he backed up and stood beside Daiyu to protect him, Daiyu only tilted his head and smiled at him, he understood, so he went even further Without interjecting a word, I let my father use his temper to scold others.Later, Mrs. Wang passed out, and Mrs. Xing asked Jia Amnesty for leave on the pretext that Jia Amnesty was drunk, and sent Jia Amnesty back. Jia Amnesty had nothing to do with them.Jia Cong saw that people were troubled, so he also tugged on Daiyu's sleeve, motioning her to go back with Mrs. Xing.

Although Daiyu was a little worried about her grandmother, she also knew that this place was short and long, and she couldn't stay for long, so she called the mandarin ducks and gave some orders before leaving with Jia Cong.It was the second day when I heard about Baoyu's case.Jia Cong saw that Daiyu was sitting up and sitting up as usual this time, and she was not worried, so he felt very comfortable in his heart, so he stopped mentioning these trivial matters in front of her.

Secretly, however, she also went to inquire about it, only to find out that Miaoyu left Changcui Nunnery the next day, without saying goodbye, without leaving a single word, and only took her little maid who was close to her back then, wrapped a bag of soft food, and took advantage of the night. A ride in a chariot and horse disappeared.The other monks and nuns in the Changcui nunnery were completely ignorant and frightened and didn't know what to do. Because of Baoyu's beating, Mrs. Wang and Baochai couldn't take care of these people for a while. Li Wan and Xichun went to the room to beg and beg, Li Wan always said that more things are worse than less things, but Xichun always treated them well, so he promised to find an opportunity to intercede for them.This kind of commotion will not last for a day, I only hope that Second Grandma Bao will come and punish these dry people when she is free.

However, Baochai really couldn't take care of the affairs of Changcui Temple anymore. After August [-]th, Jia Zheng decided to move out to make room for his brother, as if he had been weighed down.Jia's mother is old and has no energy to mediate the disputes between the two sons, and Jia Amnesty has made it clear that she will take back the ancestral property, so the two brothers really took care of this matter intensively.

At this time, I realized how much ability a woman has in ordinary times, and she can't match a word of a man. There is no room for a woman in the back house to comment on the matter. Besides, Mrs. Wang is all focused on Baoyu, and she doesn't care about other theories.In this way, Jia Zheng looked at countless houses in a few days, and the family was in a state of chaos. When the servants heard that they were going to move, they naturally wanted to cut off the servants, and they were all messed up like headless flies. Fleeing, inquiring everywhere, worrying all day long.

Then Aunt Xue knew that Jia's mansion could not be lived in, so she rented a small courtyard outside to live in, and moved out of Lixiangyuan. The crowd was in a hurry, but it was too late to stay. Only Baochai felt miserable, and worried about Baoyu's injury. While helping my mother pack things and move, I was so tired that I fell into a serious illness, and I took a few pills of Lengxiang before gradually recovering.

Yuanyang is as careful as a hair, and these days he looked around carefully, so he came to explain to Jiamu, and Jiamu gradually made up her mind.Knowing that Jia Amnesty was soft-hearted after all, and that Jia Zheng didn't care about common affairs, when Jia Zheng had had enough tossing around, he still had no idea, so he sent someone to call his two sons over to direct the division of the family in person.Rongxi Hall was naturally given over to Jia She, and Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian's courtyard did not need to be moved, as they already lived with Dafang.The original courtyard that Jia Amnesty moved out of was not very big, but there were many houses, so Jia Zheng's family moved in, and because Jia's mother felt sorry for Baoyu, she pointed out Lixiangyuan to Baoyu.Jia Zheng was particularly dissatisfied with such an arrangement, and even ordered the Grand View Garden to be locked, and Li Wan took Jia Lan to live in the three side rooms behind Mrs. Wang's main house, and expelled the nuns from Changcui nunnery together. I had no choice but to go back to Ningguo Mansion to live with my brother and sister-in-law.Naturally, Jia Amnesty took the bulk of the ancestral land property, and very little was distributed to the second house.

With this reasoning, Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing are really satisfied, but Wang Xifeng has to suffer every day in front of Mrs. Xing to set the rules and laugh with her, it goes without saying.Mrs. Xing grasped the power of the housekeeper, and immediately expelled all the people in the second room with excuses, and replaced them with her own people. She is stingy by nature, and she dare not touch Jia Mu's position. As for the others, she doesn't even have the least face. I don't care about it, but always use the name of Erfang's waste in the past, "I have to be frugal from now on to save it."
