I am a man in a dream

On the evening of the [-]th, Mother Jia ordered a few tables of wine in the Dahua Hall, ordered a small show, hung all kinds of beautiful lights, and led the family banquets of the sons, nephews, grandchildren, grandchildren, grandchildren and grandchildren of the Rongning Second Mansion.Jia Jingsu doesn't like wine, and doesn't invite him.After the ancestor worship was over on the next seventeen days, he still went out of the city to cultivate; even in the past few days at home, it was also a quiet place in a clean room, where no one heard or heard.No problem.Jia Amnesty received Jia's mother's gift, so he left.Jia Mu knew that he was here and it was inconvenient for each other, so she let him go.Since Jia Amnesty came home, he enjoyed the lanterns and wine with all the guests. Naturally, it was full of singing and singing, and the beautiful brocades were blooming. It was different from here.There are a total of ten seats on the Jiamu Flower Hall here.There are a few tables next to each seat.There are three things on the table, the stove and the vase, and the incense of the royal lily palace is burned.Another eight inches long, four to five inches wide, and two to three inches high are small bonsai covered with moss on Xuan stone, all of which are fresh flowers.There are also small foreign lacquer tea trays with old kiln teacups and assorted small teas, which are brewed with high-quality famous tea.All of them are red sandalwood openwork carvings, inlaid with wreaths of scarlet gauze embroidered flowers and cursive poetry.

It turned out that the one who embroidered this necklace was also a woman from Gusu named Hui Niang.Because she is also from a family of scholarly eunuchs, she is good at calligraphy and painting, but occasionally embroiders one or two pieces of needlework for fun, which is not a commercial item.All the flowers embroidered on this screen are imitated from the broken branches of famous artists in Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties; therefore, the patterns and colors are all elegant and original, and they cannot be compared with the artisans who are blindly colorful.On the side of each flower, there are old sentences inscribed on this flower by the ancients, or different poems and songs, all of which are embroidered with cursive characters in black velvet; City embroidered writing board is strong and hateful.He does not rely on this skill to make a profit, so although the world knows it, few people get it.There are many people who don't have this thing in the rich and noble families of all officials.Today it is called "Hui embroidery".There are secular profit shooters who imitate their stitches recently, and fools profit.However, this Hui Niang died and died, and now she can't get another one.Even if there are one or two pieces in all the houses, they are all treasured and used.What's more, those gentlemen of Hanlin literature and ink, because they deeply appreciate the beauty of Hui embroidery, say that the word "embroidery" cannot be perfect, so it seems abrupt to say the word "embroidery" in such stitches.Then everyone discussed, the word "embroidery" was hidden, and the word "pattern" was replaced, so it is called "Huiwen" now.If there is an object with the pattern of true wisdom, the price is infinite.There are only two or three pieces of glory in Jia's mansion.Those two pieces were brought in last year; now there is only this pair of necklaces left, with a total of sixteen leaves. Jia's mother loves them like treasures. .There are also various old kiln vases dotted with flowers and plants such as "Three Friends of Sui Han" and "Yutang Fugui".The two seats above are Aunt Li and Aunt Xue.Jiamu set up a seat on the east side, which is an openwork carved dragon screen, a short couch with short feet, a backrest, a pillow, and a leather mattress.At one end of the couch is a very light and light table with foreign lacquer and gold painting. On the table are tea, tea bowls, gargles, foreign towels, etc.; there is also a case for glasses.Jia Mu leaned on the couch, chatted and laughed with everyone, and then took her own glasses to take a picture on the stage.He smiled and said to Aunt Xue and Aunt Li: "Forgive me for being old, my bones hurt, and my presumptuousness. Let me accompany you on a crooked side." Because he ordered Amber to sit on the couch and beat her legs with a beauty's fist.There is no banquet table under the couch, only a high table, but there are wreaths, vases, incense burners and other things; there is also a small exquisite high table with wine glasses, spoons and chopsticks.He set his own seat beside the couch and ordered Lin Hongming, Xiangyun, Daiyu and Baoyu to sit there.Every delicacy and fruit came, and I held them up with Jiamu first, and Xi stayed on the small table to taste, and then put them on the table for four of them, only the four of them sat with Jiamu.Therefore, the next one is Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang; the next ones are the wives of You Shi, Li Wan, Sister Feng and Jia Rong.On the west side are Baoqin, Baochai, Li Wen, Li Qi, Xiuyan, Yingchun sisters and so on.

The seats on the corridor are Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, Jia Huan, Jia Cong, Jia Rong, Jia Qin, Jia Yun, Jia Ling, Jia Chang and so on.Jia Mu also sent people to invite men and women from all the clans, but some of them were old and lazy; Those who are rich and ashamed and poor do not come; there are even those who are afraid of Sister Feng and are angry and do not come; But Jia Zhu's mother, Lou Shi, brought Jia Zhu here; the only males were Jia Qin, Jia Yun, Jia Chang, and Jia Ling, who were now working under Sister Feng's command.Although there are not all the people at present, counting the small banquets in the family room, it can be regarded as lively.At present, Lin Zhixiao's wife brought six daughters-in-law, and carried three kang tables, each of which was covered with a red felt.Two people take one, a total of three.According to the instructions of Lin Zhixiao's family, put the two sheets in front of Aunt Xue and Aunt Li, and send one to Mother Jia's couch.Then Jia Mu said, "Let's put it locally." The daughters-in-law, who knew the rules, put down the table, opened up all the money, pulled out the colored ropes, and scattered them on the table.While singing the "Louhui" in the west building, it was about to end, when Yu Shuye left in a fit of anger, Wen Bao said, "You have gone in a fit of anger. It just so happens that today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. I have ridden this horse, and it is important to rush in to get some fruit to eat." After speaking, Jia Mu and others all laughed.Aunt Xue and others said, "What a ghost boy. I'm sorry to see you." Sister Feng said, "The child is only nine years old." Character.There were already three daughters-in-law who were already preparing small dustpans. When they heard the word "reward", they went up, picked up a dustpan from the pile of loose money on the table, walked out and said to the stage: "Mr. Ancestors, concubines, and wives in-laws reward Wenbao to buy fruit to eat." As he spoke, he sprinkled money on the stage, only to hear the ringing of money all over the stage.

During the excitement, Baoyu went out because he was sitting down.Jia Mu said, "Where are you going? There are so many firecrackers outside, carefully drop fire paper from the sky and burn them." Baoyu replied, "Don't go far, just go out and come." .So Baoyu came out, only sheyueqiuwen and a few little girls followed.Jia Muyin said, "Why didn't Xiren see you? He's a bit big now, so he sent the little girl out alone." Mrs. Wang hurriedly got up and smiled and said, "His mother passed away the day before yesterday. Because of the filial piety, it's inconvenient to come forward. "Mother Jia nodded after hearing this, and laughed again: "I can't talk about filial piety and unfilial piety with my master. If he still talks to me, wouldn't it be impossible to be here at this meeting? It's because we are too lenient. This has become a rule." Sister Feng hurriedly came over and smiled and said: "He will not be filial tonight, and he must watch over the garden. The candles and fireworks are the most dangerous. Besides, after this break Brother Bao went back to sleep, and all kinds of colors were complete. So I told him not to come, just look at the house. If he is scattered and ready, we don’t have to worry about it here, and we can give him all the rituals. Wouldn’t it be beneficial in three ways. The ancestors wanted Call him, I'll just call him." After hearing this, Jia's mother hurriedly said: "You are very thoughtful, and you are more thoughtful than I thought, so don't call him. But when the fuck is gone, how can I I don't know." Sister Feng said with a smile, "I attacked people and went back to the old lady in person, so I forgot." Mother Jia thought for a while and smiled, "I remember. My memory is normal." She laughed and said, "Where does the old lady remember these things?" Jia Muyin sighed again: "I thought, he served me once since I was a child, and Yun'er once, and finally gave a demon king Baoyu, thanks to him He has been a demon for the past few years. He is not a native slave of our family, and has not received any great kindness from us. His mother is gone. I thought about sending him a few taels of silver, but forgot." Sister Feng Said: "Qian'er's wife rewarded him with 40 taels of silver, that's all." When Jia Mu heard that, she nodded and said, "That's all. It happened that Yuanyang's mother Qian'er also died. I think his mother is in the south. I didn't ask his family to take a walk to observe filial piety, but now I ask the two of them to go together as companions." He also ordered the mother-in-law to eat some fruits, vegetables, snacks and so on with the two of them.Amber laughed and said, "We're still waiting for this moment, he's already gone." As they spoke, everyone ate wine and watched the theater again.

After the soup was served for a while, the Lantern Festival was offered.Then Jia Mu ordered the play to take a break: "The children are pitiful, and I also give them some soup and vegetables to eat before singing." She also ordered to take some fruits, Yuanxiao and other things to eat with them.After a break from the play, a woman brought in two female gentlemen who often walked by the door, put two zizi on the other side and ordered him to sit, and passed the stringed pipa to him.Jia's mother asked Li Xue what book he listened to, and they both replied, "anything is fine." Jia's mother asked, "have you added any new books recently?" There is a new book, which is the story of the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties." Jia Mu asked what it was called, and the daughter-in-law said, "It's called Feng Qiuluan." Jia Mu said, "That's a good name. I don't know why it came from. Let’s talk about the reason, and I’ll talk about it if it’s better.” The lady said: “This book says that in the period of the Tang Dynasty, there was a squire, originally from Jinling, whose name was Wang Zhong, and who served as the prime minister in two dynasties. Now Tell the old man to return home, and there is only one son under his knee, named Wang Xifeng." Everyone laughed when they heard this.Jia Mu laughed and said, "It's too heavy for our Feng girl." The daughter-in-law rushed up and pushed him, "This is the second grandma's name, please tell me." Jia Mu laughed and said, "Say it, say it." Standing up with a smile, he said, "We should die. I don't know if it's grandma's taboo." Sister Feng laughed and said, "What are you afraid of? Just talk about it. There are many people with the same name and surname." Mr. Wang sent Mr. Wang to Beijing to take the exam. It was raining heavily that day and he went to a village to shelter from the rain. Unexpectedly, there was also a squire in this village, surnamed Li, who was a family friend with Mr. Wang, so he left him to live in the study. This Li squire has no children, only a daughter of a thousand gold. This lady is called Chuluan, who knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting." Jia Mu hurriedly said: "The strange way is called "Feng Qiuluan". Needless to say, I guess Now, naturally it is Wang Xifeng who asked Miss Chuluan to be his wife." The daughter said with a smile: "The old ancestor has heard of this book before." Everyone said: "The old lady has never heard of anything! She has never heard of it. I guessed it too." Jia Mu said with a smile: "These books are all a set, they are just some beautiful talents, the most boring. It is not interesting to say that someone's daughter is so bad, and she is also a beautiful woman, and even Yinger is compiled. No more. Open mouths are all from a scholarly family. The father is either a minister or a prime minister. A young lady must be loved like a treasure. This young lady must be well-versed in literature and etiquette, and she is a peerless beauty. I only saw a handsome A man, no matter if he is a relative or a friend, thinks of the important events in his life, forgets his parents, forgets the book rituals, ghosts do not become ghosts, thieves do not become thieves, what is it that is a beauty? Just full of articles, do these things, It can’t be considered a beautiful woman. For example, if a man is full of articles to become a thief, does the king’s law say that he is a genius, so he won’t be involved in a thief? It can be seen that the editor of the book is himself. What’s more, It is said that all the young ladies know how to read books, and even the wives know how to read books, even if they are old and return home. Naturally, there are a lot of people in this family, and there are also many nurses and maids who serve the ladies. There is such a thing, just the young lady and a maid who is following closely? Think about it for nothing, those people are in charge of something, but they don’t answer what they say?" After hearing this, everyone laughed and said: "What did the old lady say? , All the lies have been approved." Jia Mu laughed and said, "There is a reason for this: some people who compile such books are jealous of others' wealth, or fail to fulfill their wishes, so they compile and pollute others. Wait a second, and they will see for themselves. After reading these books, he became obsessed, and he also wanted a beautiful woman, so he made them up for fun. How could he know the truth of those eunuchs and scholars! Not to mention those eunuchs and scholars in his book, now it’s really true that we are middle-of-the-road People said, there is no such thing, let alone those big families. It can be seen that the jaw dropped. So we are never allowed to talk about these books, and the girls don't understand these words. I have grown old in the past few years, and their sisters They live far away, and I get bored by chance, so I just listen to them, and when they come, they take a rest." Both Li and Xue said with a smile: "This is just everyone's rule, even our family doesn't have such nonsense. Let the children hear."

Daiyu rolled her eyes with disdain, and Baochai looked at Lin Hongming thoughtfully.Baoyu thought of himself secretly reading miscellaneous books, and felt a little ashamed. After thinking about it, he didn't take it seriously, and said to Lin Hongming, "Second Brother Lin must have heard a lot of books?" Yan, I came here to study, so I don’t have time to read this. It’s just a gathering of relatives and friends to say a few words, but I can’t remember a few words.” Baoyu was so bored.Daiyu also felt uncomfortable, and said: "Brother's toad palace is the reading of the Four Books and Five Classics. I think these books can't be read." Lin Hongming knew that Daiyu had secretly read some idle books, so he said: "Brother, there are some books. So honest, but it’s just that I don’t have time, I’m really tired of reading and I’m going to have some fun.” Baoyu hurriedly asked, “What kind of books does Second Brother Lin spend his time?” Lin Hongming thought for a while and said, “Such as "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness", "Sou Shen Ji" "some type of."
