Dream Continues Red Mansion: Melting Daixin

Sister Feng dissuaded Daiyu, Xiangyun, and Tanchun, so that they would not ask Baochai to question her in anger.

But because of the matter of Baoyu, Shui Rong went to Changcui Temple to ask Miaoyu to draw Taoist talismans.During Miaoyu's horoscope the night before last, she felt that what she had predicted was getting closer and closer, so Shuirong came to visit the nunnery, and asked about Zen with Shuirong, each entrusting the things in her heart.Shui Rong felt relieved and left to return to the palace.

But in Jia's mansion, the sun is setting, the sun is approaching dusk, the people are quiet and the garden is quiet, Jia's mansion is reflected in the setting sun, and the autumn scenery in the garden is endless and beautiful.

Daiyu, Xiangyun and other sisters, together with Sister Feng, walked all the way, along the veranda, and went to Jiamu's room to calm down in the morning and evening. There were bright red lanterns hanging high in zigzags all over the courtyard, and joy was blown on the face.

Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang are both in the house, and Li Wan is also serving on the side.The sisters came in one by one with their skirts fluttering, seeming to be intentional or not, their eyes passed over Mrs. Wang, and seeing her gloomy complexion, she was obviously in a bad mood.When Mrs. Wang heard her sisters talking and laughing, she slightly opened her eyes and looked at Daiyu and Xiangyun. There was a trace of resentment in her eyes, but it was fleeting, and she looked expressionless.

Baochai sits under Jia Mu, happy and generous, safe and sound, talking with the old lady.

After some etiquette, the sisters sat down next to Jia Mu one by one. Daiyu and Xiangyun sat on both sides of Jia Mu in the intention of Jia Mu.

Sister Feng first met the old lady and said hello to Mrs. Wang, and hurriedly came to salute Mrs. Xing. Seeing Sister Qiao leaning on Mrs. Xing, she smiled inwardly.

It turned out that Sister Feng already wanted to return to Mrs. Xing's side, and she knew that she had been treating her mother-in-law slowly and alienated her. She was afraid that Mrs. Xing would not change her mind for a while and would treat her coldly.The day before yesterday she made up her mind to take her daughter Qiaojie back to the Jia Amnesty Court in person, and laughed with Mrs. Xing, but as expected, Mrs. Xing ignored her. Sister Feng would kneel in front of Mrs. Xing and beg her mother-in-law to accept her. Even if Mrs. Xing made sarcasm, she endured it.Mrs. Xing resented her, and she drove her away with sharp words. Qiao'er, who was at the side, was scared when she saw her mother lying on the ground, but when she heard Mrs. Xing's loud voice, she was so frightened that she burst into tears.Sister Feng knelt on the ground, holding Qiao's son and weeping.Mrs. Xing saw that Qiao's body was soft and delicate, and she was shedding tears like water, she couldn't bear it, she walked down from her seat, hugged Qiao from Sister Feng's hand and said, "Go back, don't scare the child. When she stops crying, I'll ask someone to send her there. You can send her here tomorrow, and I'll watch over her from now on. You can hear clearly, it's not that I want to see you, but I'm afraid that you will spoil the child."

So Sister Feng asked Sister Qiao to accompany Mrs. Xing every day. The grandparents and grandchildren got along very well, and Sister Qiao always looked for grandma.

After giving the salute to her mother-in-law, Sister Feng swayed to the old lady's side, and said with a series of laughs: "Old lady, I went to sister Lin's room just now, and only then did I know that after her sisters and children left the lake, they all went to the forest. My sister is discussing about opening a poetry club again."

The old lady said with interest: "Well, it's good to catch up with the situation. They haven't been interested in writing poetry for a while. After the second girl gets married and the treasure girl moves out, they seem much deserted. It's been so many days, don't let them be bored." When you are sick, you just make plans, let them write poems, and relax. It also saves you from lying in the room all day, and your brain will be rusted by tomorrow."

Mrs. Wang's eyelids twitched when she heard this, and she thought to herself: Why did the sisters gather in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion after they left the lake?

Daiyu's pretty face looked at Baochai who was sitting upright and beautiful and generous, and said: "Sister Bao, we have been discussing all afternoon, but we haven't settled on a title or rhyme. When you come over when you are free, I will mention a few more."

Xiangyun turned to Daiyu and said, "Sister Lin, you have to disturb Sister Bao for a while. Where is Sister Bao free now? We can only see her at the old lady's place. Let's talk about it after the banquet."

When Baochai heard this, she couldn't help thinking of what she had said to Mrs. Wang in the afternoon, and felt a little embarrassed. She glanced at Mrs. Wang from the corner of her eye, as if she didn't care.Thinking again that since Tanchun and Xichun are here, it is not easy for me to repeat the encounter with Xiangyun and Daiyu, so I lightened my voice, smiled and said: "Sister Yun is right, I have been busy these two days. , but there is still time for that idea, if you ask someone to send a message, or we meet on the road, by the way, it will be settled."

Seeing Mrs. Wang twisting the rosary faster in her hand, she glanced at Baochai thoughtfully.

While talking, Baoyu strode in, greeted the old lady, met Mrs. Wang, turned to Baochai and said with a smile, "Sister Bao, what do you want to decide?"

Baoyu's expression was natural, pretending not to know that Baochai had been in his room, but she was even more alienated from her in her heart.

Since Baoyu came in, Mrs. Wang's heartstrings were tense, and she watched the movements of Daiyu and Xiangyun. It turned out that Baochai's words made her even more wary of the second daughter.Seeing Daiyu and Xiangyun talking to the old lady, they only nodded their heads as a greeting to Baoyu, and when Baoyu came to talk to Baochai, they felt relieved.

Tanchun smiled and said, "Second brother, we discussed the banquet by the lake in the afternoon, but you led people into the garden, so we broke up and went to sister Lin to discuss the opening of the poetry club."

Baoyu laughed and said, "It's not that the young prince of Beijing liked the embroidered pictures sent by the master. He came to the mansion to thank him, and then wanted to ask for a magic talisman to keep safe. He and Miaoyu said another inexplicable word , I don't quite understand either."

Mrs. Wang's eyes flickered after hearing this, and she glanced at Daiyu.

Baochai said with a smile, "it must be what they say about Zen, which sounds boring to you."

Standing in front of him was the person she wanted to see but was afraid to see, she couldn't help but think that she was so close to him that there was no distance between her and she couldn't help feeling flustered.At this time Baochai had to face Baoyu, seeing Baoyu's face like a full moon, with a smile on his face, and a pair of bright eyes, he secretly told himself not to think wildly and reveal his thoughts.She was also secretly ashamed of what happened that day, her face showed a little unnaturalness, and then she thought that Baoyu was sleeping at that time and didn't know why she was uncomfortable, but people could see the clues, and then her face was calm, just like usual.

Baoyu secretly admired Baochai's composure, as if it wasn't her but someone else who was lying on top of him that day. She shook her head and waved her hands and said, "Whatever, let's talk about opening a poetry club. Sister Lin loves writing poems the most. The topic is proposed." Alright, count me in."

Sister Feng lightly patted Baoyu on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Here is another one to join in the fun. Brother Bao, your poems can't be produced, so let's join in. In terms of exquisiteness and novelty, no one can compare with your poems by Sister Lin. Yes, let’s just call her sister Lin Shixian.”

Baoyu smiled and said, "I think it can."

Mother Jia embraced Daiyu with one hand, and Xiangyun with the other, and said with a smile, "Brother Feng is partial to talking nonsense, Bao girl's poems are no better than those of the others, and she is always selling melons here."

Sister Feng said with a smile: "The old ancestor is partial, he only cares about praising the girl."

Jia's mother smiled, and Mrs. Wang pulled the corners of her mouth to force a smile.

All of a sudden, it was time for dinner, and the maids and women brought in the food.Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Sister Feng, and Li Wan set out bowls and waited for the meal. The sisters gave way one by one before sitting down to eat quietly.

The old lady was getting old and didn't need much food, only took a few mouthfuls, holding silver chopsticks and looking at her grandchildren who were as delicate as flowers, she felt indescribably happy.She is seven or 80 years old, and what she looks forward to is a full house of children and grandchildren, a safe family, and a harmonious image.His son, Jia Zheng, is happy to be promoted again, which is really the icing on the cake.

After dinner, Mother Jia asked everyone to disperse, rest by herself, and recharge her energy. Tomorrow's dinner will meet with distinguished guests and wives.

After saying their farewells, Daiyu, Xiangyun, Tanchun, and Xichun went back to the hospital. Sister Feng sent Mrs. Xing to the residence before leading Sister Qiao back. Baochai took Xiangling and Yinger back to Xue's residence.

The three women of Baochai were walking in the bright but seldom-occupied courtyard, and in the rustling autumn wind, they seemed to hear faint weeping again. Xiangling and Yinger looked at each other speechlessly. However, she quickened her pace, and the two of them also quickened their pace to keep up, and they landed in the heart of Xue's mansion.

The next day, it was the day to entertain the guests. Early in the morning, Daiyu and Xiangyun went to Jia Mu's place to say hello and came back. Along the way, they saw that the people in the mansion were even busier. Aunt Xue took Ying'er and Xiangling back and forth between the Grand View Garden and the mansion. In the meantime, all the supplies for the banquet, such as chicken, duck, fish, meat, fresh fruit, and vegetables, were sent over.Even Mrs. Wang went out of the room and sat in the hall with Wang Xifeng, instructing the servants to do things and listening to the servants' reports.

There is no sign of Baochai alone.

Baochai shouldn't talk more and do more, Baochai will naturally not speak and do rashly, and Baochai has been busy for many days, just for tonight's scene, how could she be missing?Daiyu and Xiangyun looked at each other with wonderful eyes, suspicious in their hearts, thinking that something more important was bothering them.

In the evening, people who came to congratulate the promotion came one after another. There were no cars, horses and sedan chairs in front of Jia's house.

Jia's mother entertained the female relatives in the Grand View Garden, and those officials were entertained by Jia Zheng in the front hall.

Since the last inspection, the Grand View Garden has gradually become deserted, but now it is bustling again because of the addition of the second lord's official position, and it is as prosperous as the concubine Yuan's visiting relatives.Luan phoenixes are screened in the garden, hibiscus are placed on mattresses, people's voices are noisy, servants and servants are coming and going, and orchestras are playing on the stage.But Mrs. Wang actually invited musicians from the music workshop. Twelve women with graceful figures and dancing gauze dresses, each holding silk strings, played softly and slowly, floating melodiously in Jia's mansion, passing through Quyue Lane , causing the street people to stop and discuss, with envy on their faces.

It's really a big feast, with dishes served one after another at the banquet, flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the sea, delicacies from mountains and seas, everything is available. After eating and listening to the opera, tea and fruits are brought up.

Of course, not all of it was provided by the Xue family, and the Xue family only accounted for one-tenth of it.Ever since Baochai's marriage was confirmed, Aunt Xue had quietly reduced the supply, most of which were procured by the housekeeper of the Jia family.

Daiyu is a lazy person and likes to be quiet. In this kind of social scene where she is sent to welcome and show in front of people, she is the least willing to be in the front. When there are many people, she looks more lonely and lonely. Therefore, Daiyu did not leave the room, and the Xiangyun sisters also Because Jiamu didn't speak, they all stayed in the room. Tanchun and Xichun gathered in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion to chat with Daiyu and Xiangyun.

Not long after, Xiangling came in and saw the four girls there, said: "It so happens that all the girls are there, I just wrote a poem, and I want the girls to help me read it, but I can't read it myself, but I don't know what's wrong OK."
