The Reincarnation of the World of Red Mansions

Mrs. Wang waved the tea bowl on the table to the ground, and heard the crisp sound of the bowl falling to the ground.Zhou Rui's family raised the curtain and came in, "What's the matter, madam." He said and beckoned the maid to put away the debris.

"How can my good sister say that? She is just lucky enough to get the title of Marquis! It's better to wait for the title of Marquis, and it's not hereditary disregard. And she won't forget that she used to date with merchants, right? I think she has that powerful family who will associate with her." He paused, "Go out and find out if there is any taboo in being an official in the imperial examination. For example, the names of parents, etc., privately inquire, and secretly tell me if you find out .”

When they got home, they asked Xue Pan and Baochai to go back to the house to clean up, and then they came out to have dinner together.Sitting at the table, I saw Xue Pan and Baochai come in with the curtains lifted under the service of servants.He asked Cui'er, the big maid next to him, to order food, and then asked Xue Pan how he was at Jia's house today.How do you feel about those men in Jia's mansion.

Seeing the dishes being laid out beside him, Xue Pan said, "The grand master of Jia's house will be similar to other families. He just greets me during the banquet, and in private he just asks me to go to cousin Jia Lian when I want to play. Uncle calls I went to the study to study my knowledge and educated me. Today, I listened to his lecture all afternoon, and he quoted scriptures, many of which I didn’t know. Listen to me. Cousin Jia Lian asked me to go to some 'teahouses' and gambling gatherings. Seeing that I was not very interested, he talked about some gossip in the capital. Whose family's aunt cheated on the concubine, but the concubine was also worried and made trouble. Come out; whose kid was beaten by his father for drinking flower wine..." Xue Pan felt a little depressed when he said this, and thought: "It's good that my father is here, I will never be angry with my father again."

Baochai saw that her brother was a little depressed, so she talked about the interesting things with her sisters today.Speaking of Baoyu breaking in while the sisters were chatting, Xue Pan said angrily, didn't he let someone notify?You must know that men and women have different seats at the age of seven. Although the two brothers and sisters of the Xue family are close, after Baochai turned seven, Xue Pan moved to live in the outer garden.Only in the study in the afternoon to listen to a get out of class and have dinner with the family, Xue Pan would go to the inner courtyard to look for Baochai when he had something to do, and Xue Pan and Baochai seldom played together when he was free.After all, they are already out of line, but it is understandable to think that there are only three masters in their family.Hearing what my sister said, it meant that Baoyu's cousin was still living in the inner courtyard. At that time Xue Pan was a little angry, but after thinking about it, it had nothing to do with his own family. Say it yourself.Maybe I can only get some disgust, and blame myself for meddling in my own business.Thinking of this, the anger subsided.

Holding the chopsticks, I saw my mother and Baochai chatting with each other, because at home, they did not follow the rule of 'no talking when eating, no talking when sleeping'.I thought in my heart that if I want to tell my mother that my sister must bring more maids to Jia's house, I should also tell my sister to stay away from Baoyu.Seeing how some of Baoyu's ideas are so inappropriate, but after thinking about it, my mother and sister are smarter than me, and they can think of what I can think of, maybe they should arrange it better, and Baoyu is also an aunt after all. The only son, speaking so bluntly, made the mother's face look ugly, so she swallowed the words.

Zhou Rui's family also went to ask about it. Back to Mrs. Wang, "It is true that there are taboos about being an official in the imperial examination, but it is okay if no one says it. After all, there is no clear regulation in the law." I thought: I can only be an official. A small official, otherwise how could there be no officials to participate in the performance.Not to mention at the moment, although Zhou Rui's family was still so respectful to Baoyu afterwards, they also helped Li Wan and Jia Lan in secret.

Mrs. Wang felt a pang of pain in her heart, thinking of Aunt Xue talking about the piece of jade that Baoyu was born with.I didn't think about it in that direction before, but now I just feel dizzy when I think about it.Thinking of the old lady, I felt a burst of hatred. I was young and ignorant at the time, but didn't she understand when she was old and mature?Is it true that as my sister said, the old lady did it on purpose, and now she is ashamed of pampering Baoyu so much.Thinking of some things in the past, when Baoyu was young, he liked to eat the rouge on the lips of the maids. When her husband taught her a lesson, the old lady protected her;At this moment, I thought about it, some old lady would know that her grandson pretended to be sick and didn't want to go to school, and stopped her son to teach him a lesson. From the child's point of view, wouldn't this support him?Whose old lady said every day that her grandson had great fortune and intelligence, but she didn't force her grandson to learn.How can there be good luck if you don't learn. I hate myself because my eldest son died young, and I dare not force my younger son to study.Baoyu pretended to be sick and didn't go to school, and let him go, thinking that there was still more time, and Baoyu was so smart, he was afraid that he would accidentally follow in the footsteps of his eldest son.

Now that I think about it, didn't the old lady raise her son to playboys?Thinking of this made my chest feel tight.I know my own affairs, Baoyu is really born with jade, not my sister's own means.Besides, the old lady was still there at that time. If the old lady suppressed the matter at that time, she would explain clearly to us why it came to such a situation.Baoyu is so smart, and if he is educated seriously, he has already achieved fame at this time.

Thinking of Jia Zheng's name made me feel bitter again.Zhou Rui's family has been with me all these years, can I still not understand what she means? Even if the officials in the court don't care about it, the emperor still thinks of the merits of the four kings and eight princes, and Baoyu can't be a high official.After all, they may not care about small officials, but high officials will touch the interests of some people.Thinking of Zhu'er again, if she had known earlier, maybe Zhu'er would not have ruined her body and lost her life because of studying hard.Li Wan is not a good person either, since his family studied and came from the imperial examinations, they should know it, but they didn't even mention it.It just so happens that Lan'er is getting older, so I still ask someone to tidy up a better yard in the outer courtyard.I usually go to see him more, and ask him to get closer to Baoyu. Anyway, I am Feng'er's housekeeper now, and I don't have as many things as before.

Thinking that it was all because of Aunt Xue, I had mixed feelings for a while.If it was the past, I must ask Aunt Xue to prepare a generous gift to apologize.Although I can't do this now, if something happens in the future, don't try to help her yourself.

After that, Aunt Xue took Baochai and attended many banquets with Mrs. Wang.Mrs. Wang also introduced many people to Aunt Xue, and got rid of some friends to take care of Aunt Xue and the others.During this period, Xue Pan also met a lot of people like the second generation of officials, got acquainted with people in many circles, and made some friends.

After this period of time is over, Mrs. Wang will go to Wang Ziteng's place soon.Aunt Xue and Baochai worked together to hold a banquet before Mrs. Wang left.It should have been done earlier, but Mrs. Wang was in a hurry to leave, so she has been busy integrating into the capital with Mrs. Wang's help during this period, so it was done at this time.But at this time, the lotus in the garden is in bloom, so I just invite them to enjoy the lotus.

Send people to send posts in advance to the east and west of the Jia family, and even Lin Daiyu has a post.After receiving the post, the girls in Jia's mansion were a little excited. After all, the old lady was too old and didn't want to go out.The eldest lady didn't receive a few posts herself, so how could she take them out.The second wife went out, but how could she take advantage of the concubine, let alone the other girls of the Jia family.

Mother Jia looked at the juniors who were chattering and discussing the invitation, and smiled kindly: "You all wear the summer clothes that were cut not long ago this year, and I am asking your second sister-in-law to make a pair of jewelry for each of you." "Then thank you grandma." Yingchun and the others laughed together.

On the day of the banquet, Aunt Xue and Baochai put on the clothes they had prepared long ago.Checked the process of meeting guests again, and seeing that Baochai was a little nervous, Aunt Xue comforted: "What's there to be nervous about? Didn't they all check. Besides, you only need to say hello to all the guests today, and they can go and have fun with you." Sisters together. Didn’t you meet a lot of sisters a few days ago? For example: Miss Duqiwei’s family, girl from Hanlin’s family,,,,” Baochai’s heart slowly calmed down, and she pulled Aunt Xue’s sleeve , coquettishly said: "Mother, you know how to laugh at me. I don't agree..."

Baochai stood at the gate of the Second Courtyard and asked the servants to greet them in the garden, who she knew and a few others she didn't know.He was relieved to see everyone from Jia's mansion who hadn't seen him for a long time coming, but he didn't see Baoyu.Thinking of some news about the capital collected by Xue's servants recently, including some of Baoyu's deeds in Jia's news, I was relieved to see that he didn't come in. It seems that Baoyu is still very good outside.

At this banquet, the young ladies of Jia's family also met several young ladies, saw the knowledge and demeanor of some young ladies outside, and reflected on some of their own behaviors.Especially the third girl, Yingchun was a little weak when she was in Jia's mansion, and she didn't know how to please the old lady.Xichun is from Dongfu, and she is still young, so she is very proud of herself.In addition, it is the first time to participate in this kind of occasion today, and I want to perform well.So when an elder asked a question, she answered it first.At first, it was a bit strange to see them looking at me, but when I looked carefully, it was nothing.Later, when I returned to Jia's mansion, I lay on the bed and thought about it carefully, only to find out the reason.In that case, the second sister should have replied, but she got used to it in Jia's mansion, so such a mistake happened.Thinking of this, Tanchun cried out silently, after all, he was a child in his teens.

Here Daiyu was also sad, although she was more popular than the girls in Jia's house at today's banquet, after all, outsiders are very particular about concubines, and she is a girl from a scholarly family, so it happened that many family members of civil servants came today.I met my father's granddaughter of the same age at the banquet today, and talking with her brought up a lot of sad things.
