Summary:

As soon as the old lady said that she would enjoy singing opera, Jia Zhen and Jia Lian asked the pages to carry out the scattered money secretly prepared and scatter it on the stage, which made the old lady happy.

Jia Zhen took Jia Lian to the back room, and poured wine for the ladies from table to table. Especially, he was respectful to the Lady Dowager, so he had to kneel down because of the low couch, and then all the men in the Jia family who were present slipped away and knelt down.

Grandmother Jia lets them go out to play, so their wives are more casual. Jia Zhen and other men withdrew.

Baoyu wanted to go out, but Grandmother Jia complained when she saw that Aroma was not with him. Mrs. Wang said that she had recently lost her mother, and Xifeng said that the Grand View Garden should be guarded by a thoughtful and meticulous person, which made the grandmother happy and stopped blaming Xiren. Yuanyang has also lost her mother recently, so it's better to be a companion together. Unexpectedly, Yuanyang has already gone to Yee Hong Yuan.

Baoyu originally wanted to leave the banquet and return to Yihong Courtyard. Unexpectedly, when he saw that Aron and Yuanyang were talking confidentially, it was not easy to disturb them, so he retired. On the way back to the place where everyone gathered, he took a nap and met the women who delivered food to Aron and Yuanyang, and then he returned.

When he got to the hall, Baoyu followed Jia Zhen's example and poured wine for everyone. When he got to Daiyu, Daiyu brought the glass to Baoyu's lips and let him drink it because she couldn't drink it herself. When Xifeng saw this, she told Baoyu not to eat cold wine, but Baoyu didn't understand and said that she didn't eat it.

During the break, everyone felt tired of listening, and Grandmother Jia felt that the performers were also tired, so she stopped the play, and the two ladies came up to her and said that it was good to talk about books.

The female gentleman said that "a phoenix asks for a phoenix". A man named Wang Xifeng asked for a woman named Xiao Luan, and the grandmother criticized him, saying that since he is a big official, he should know manners, and since he is a scholar, he should know how to study with courtesy. Why should he only think of lifelong events when he meets a handsome man, whether he is a relative or a friend?

finally, as a rule, you are never allowed to say these books, and the girls can't understand them.

Xi-feng said that Grandmother Jia's "Lie Story" was well told, which made everyone laugh. Aunt Xue laughed that there were Jia Zhen and others outside, and told Xi-feng to stop telling jokes.

Xifeng said that Jia Zhen and I had been naughty since childhood, and we made so many rules only after we got married. She also said that she was helping Jia Zhen and Jia Lian to perform their filial duties in front of the grandmother.

the lady dowager asked two ladies to correct a set of your legend, moved it to NuanGe, let Jia Zhen take her brothers, left Jia Rong behind, called her own troupe, and sang two operas.

Xifeng suggested drinking and telling jokes, and two female gentlemen played drums.

A red plum was passed around with the drums, and the drums stopped the first time it reached the hands of the old lady, and the old lady drank and told jokes.

Jia Mu told a story that ten sons married ten daughters-in-law, and only the tenth daughter-in-law had a glib tongue. It was because she drank the Monkey King's urine (monkey urine) that she was so glib, and everyone laughed at Wang Xifeng.

The second time plum blossoms reached Xifeng, the drums stopped and Xifeng told jokes.

Xi-feng took Jia's mansion as the scene, and told half the story, but it was inconclusive and not funny. She told a story about a deaf person setting off a firecracker again, and everyone laughed and asked about the ending of the first one. Xi-feng said that today, it will be sixteen tomorrow, and then the Chinese New Year will be over. Now it's four o'clock, and it's time for us to leave.

Jia Rong led the pages to set off fireworks, while the old lady hugged Daiyu and Aunt Xue hugged Xiangyun. You Shi said that she could hug the coquettish Xifeng, which was another joke.

after a midnight snack, everyone went their separate ways.

on the 16th morning, I went to the Guanzu Ancestral Hall in Ningguo Mansion to pack my things. After that, on the 1th day of the first month, my boss invited the Western family for wine, and it was over.
