The 43rd Interpretation of A Dream of Red Mansions

It is said that Mrs. Wang was relieved when she saw the old lady say that she didn't have a cold or a serious illness in the Grand View Garden. She gave the doctor two doses of medicine, so she ordered Xifeng to prepare some medicine for Jia Zheng. Just then, the old lady sent for someone, and Mrs. Wang quickly led Xi-feng over. Mrs. Wang asked, "Do you feel better now?" "What a beautiful day," said the old lady. "You just brought me wild chicken soup, and I tasted it. It was delicious. I ate two pieces of meat, which was very helpful. " Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "This is Feng's filial piety to the old lady. I didn't waste the old lady's love for him. " The old lady nodded and said with a smile, "It's hard for him to think about it. If you are still alive, blow it up again. "

At this point, the old lady smiled at Mrs. Wang: "I sent someone to invite you, not for other reasons. The second day of junior high school is Feng's birthday. Two years ago, I wanted to do it for him earlier, but something important happened, so I got through it. This year, people are complete, we don't expect anything, so we all have a good day. " Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "That's what I thought. Since the old lady is happy, why not discuss it? " Grandmother Jia smiled and said, "I think in previous years, no matter who had a birthday, everyone gave gifts separately. This is vulgar, and it seems different. Today, I came up with a new idea, which is no different and can be used as a joke. " Mrs. Wang quickly said, "The old lady can do whatever she thinks." Grandmother Jia said with a smile, "I think we'd better learn from that little family and do our best with money. Mrs. Wang said with a smile, "This is very good, but I don't know how to make it up. Hearing this, Grandmother Jia became more and more happy. "。 He sent for Aunt Xue, Lady Xing, the girls, Baoyu, and Jane's daughter-in-law and Lai's daughter-in-law.

All the ladies-in-waiting were very happy to see the old lady, and they were so busy that they went to invite her separately and spread the news. There was no meal, and the old and the young were crowded into a room. Only Aunt Xue and the old lady sat opposite each other, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang only sat in two chairs in front of the door, Baochai and other five or six people sat on the kang, and Baoyu sat on the old lady's chest, and the underground was full of people. Give your seat to the respectable old mother, such as Mama Lai. It is the custom of Jiafu that it is more decent to serve the elderly than the young master, so you's Xifeng and others just stand underground, while three or four old mothers, such as Lai Da's mother, plead guilty and sit in small chairs.

Jia smiled and told everyone what she had just said. Who wouldn't be interested There are no more lovers with Xi 'an, people who are willing to do so, people who are afraid of Xi 'an, and people who flatter: besides, they can all take it out, so they all readily agree to this. Grandmother Jia said first, "I'll pay two hundred taels." Aunt Xue smiled and said, "The old lady and I are two hundred and twenty." Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang said humanely, "I dare not stand side by side with the old lady, so I am naturally shorter." Twelve taels each. The old lady and Li Wan said, "Your widow is unemployed, so I'll pay for it for you. "。 "Don't be happy, old lady," said Xi-feng with a smile. "Settle the accounts before you do anything. "。 The old lady already has two taels of silver, and now she gives twelve taels to her eldest sister-in-law, saying that she is happy, and then she looks back and feels distressed. Later, she said,' It's all for Feng. "My birthday hasn't arrived yet," said Xi-feng with a smile. "It's useless." . I can't spare any money, which really bothers these people. I will pay for him. I will be blessed if I eat more on that day. "Mrs. Xing and others all said," Very ". Fang Jia agreed. Xi- Feng smiled again: "I still have some." It's fair to have another baby sister. It's just that the two wives have sixteen taels each, and they have few themselves, and they don't give money to others. This is somewhat unfair. The ancestors suffered a loss! "Grandmother Jia said with a smile," My sister-in-law is falling for me. " . If it weren't for you, I would let them coax her again. "Xi-feng said with a smile," The ancestors only gave one to his two sisters, and each of them gave more and less, so they only gave one point. " . Grandmother Jia quickly said, "This is only fair. "。 "I am angry for my two wives. There is my son's daughter-in-law, and here is my nephew's daughter, not to my mother-in-law, but to others. This daughter-in-law became an outsider, and my nephew's daughter became a niece. " Grandma said that she and everyone laughed. Lai Da's mother asked again, "The ladies are all twelve years old, so naturally we should be shorter." Grandma listened and said, "This is necessary." Although the position is low, the money is more than theirs. You and their example have succeeded. "All the mothers agreed quickly. Grandmother Jia added, "The girls just want a scene, and each of them takes a month." She called Yuanyang back, "you also gather together a few people to discuss. "Yuanyang agreed and soon brought Pinger, Aroma and others." Pinger laughed. "I have another one in private. This is an official, and I deserve a point. " Jia smiled and said, "Good boy." Feng smiled again: "Everything is ups and downs. There are two aunts and grandmothers who can't get out. Ask them. Do their best, otherwise, they will only look down on them. " Jia said quickly. I'm afraid they're not available. Ask a maid. Just then, a maid left early and came back for a long time, saying, "Everyone takes two pieces of silver, too. Grandmother Jia said with a smile, "Take a pen and inkstone and figure out how much it is!" . Hearing this, Madam You scolded Xi-feng and said, "Little hoof, I'll hit you! "！ It's not enough for you to have so many aunts and mothers to collect money for your birthday. What are you doing with two bitter scorpions? "And feng also quietly said," don't talk nonsense. I won't get even with you unless I leave here. Why are the two of them suffering? "If you have money, it's no use giving it to others. Why don't you arrest us and have fun? "

Say, already cost-effective, * * * add up to more than one hundred and fifty-two. Jia Yue said, "You can't use wine for a day." You said, "There are not many banquets, but two or three days' expenses will be enough. First-class, the play doesn't cost money, we can save it. " Jia Dao: "Feng said that the class is good, so we will pass it on." Feng.

You Shi and others sent Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang to Feng's room to discuss how to celebrate their birthday. Feng said, "You don't have to ask me, you just have to look at the old lady's eyes." You's smile, "you are a lucky girl. When I asked us to do anything, it was only for this. I didn't pay, but I have to worry about it. How do you thank me? " "Don't be shy," Xi Feng said with a smile. "I didn't invite you, so thank you! Are you afraid of worrying? You go back now and send another one to the old lady. " You Shi smiled and said, "Look at his excitement! I suggest you keep some. If it is too full, it will overflow. " They said it again before they broke up.

The next day, You Shi just got up to freshen up. Someone asked who sent it, and the maids said, "It's Mrs. Lin." You Shi ordered him to come. The maid went to the next room to call Lin Zhixiao's family. You ordered him to sit on his feet. While busy grooming, I asked him: "This bag of money *" Lin Zhixiao's family replied: "This is our servant's money, so I will send it to you first. The old lady's wife hasn't got it yet. " Just then, the maids replied, "The daughter-in-law and aunt of that family have sent someone to send the molecules." You Shi criticized, "Little hoof, you will remember these unimportant words. Yesterday, the old lady was just happy and deliberately wanted to learn from the little one. Speaking of mouth, be serious. Don't bring them in for tea, and then send them away. " The maid picked it up and took it in, one * * * two letters, even Baochai and Daiyu's. You Shi asked who was missing, and Lin Zhixiao's family said, "Old lady, madam, girl, girl is below." You Shi said: Lin Zhixiao's wife said: "Grandma, in the past, all this money was sent by my second grandmother, and it was all mine."

When she said this, You Shi had already packed up and ordered people to wait in the car. She's been here for a while. She came to Feng first. She saw the money sealed and was about to deliver it. You Shi asked, "All of them?" Feng smiled and said, "I have everything. Take it away and leave it behind. " You Shi smiled and said, "I'm a little untrustworthy, so I have to order it face to face." As expected, I counted a little, but I didn't get a point from Li Wan. You Shi said with a smile, "I said you were a ghost. Why didn't your sister-in-law?" Feng smiled and said, "Isn't that enough? It doesn't matter if it's a minute short. I can't wait to give it to you. " You said, "Yesterday you were alone in front of others, and now you have to rely on me. This is not for you to decide. I only go with the old lady. " Xi-feng said with a smile, "I think you are interesting. If something happens tomorrow, I am desperate, so don't complain. " You smiled and said, "You are usually scared. Put yours away and I'll add it for you. " Pinger understood, because she said, "Grandma made it first, and I'll get the rest." You Shi smiled and said, "Only your master is cheating, so I'm not allowed to be a lover." Pinger had to accept it. You Shi added, "I watched your master so carefully. How could you possibly get the money? I can't do it, but I will take it to the coffin tomorrow. " At some point, I went to the old lady. I paid my respects first, exchanged a few commonplaces, and then went to Yuanyang's room to discuss with Yuanyang. I only listened to Yuanyang's thoughts, so why should they please the old lady? They discussed the matter properly. When you left, she returned Yuanyang's two pieces of silver to him and said, "This can't be done yet." I also gave him a penny of Cai Yun. When I saw that Xifeng was away, I sent Zhou and Zhao back. They still dare not accept it. You Shi said, "Pity you, where can you find this spare money? Feng girl knew that I was there to answer the big laughs, and they were grateful. So you Shi went out all the way and went home by car. No problem.

It's the second day of September, and everyone in the garden finds your party very lively. There are not only programs, but also pioneers of men and women who have played hundreds of plays and told stories make fun of it. Li Wan said to her sisters, "Today is a serious social day. Don't forget it. Baoyu is not coming either. Presumably, he just wants to be lively and leave elegance behind. " With this, he ordered the girl. I went out early this morning. "Everyone was surprised and said," There is no reason to go out again. This girl is very confused and doesn't know how to speak. "Because she ordered Cui Mo to go, Cui Mo came back and said," I haven't really gone out yet. I said that a friend died and went out to attend the funeral. Tanchun said, "Nothing. "。 With him, there is no reason to go out today. Your name is xiren. "You shouldn't go out. First, your second grandma's birthday, the old lady is very happy, both families came to join in the fun, but he left. Second, it was the official day of the first club, and he left without asking for leave! " Aroma sighed, "I told you last night that I had something urgent to go to Beijing Palace this morning, so I came back. I advised him not to go, but he wouldn't listen. I got up this morning and needed clothes again. I don't know if all the important concubines in the Beijing Palace are gone. " Li Wan and others said, "If so, I should go for a walk, but I should come back."

It turns out that Baoyu has something private in his heart. On the first day, he ordered strictly: "I will go out early tomorrow morning and prepare two horses to wait at the back door." Don't let the other one follow me. Tell Gui Li I'm going to the North Room. Whoever wants to find me, tell him to stop looking, just say that the North House has stayed, and will come anyway. " Yan Ming was at a loss and had to do as he said. This morning, sure enough. "Where does this road lead?" Baoyu asked. Yan Ming said, "This is the way out of the North Gate. There is nothing to be stubborn about going out. " Hearing this, Baoyu nodded and said, "It's better to be in a deserted place." As he spoke, he added another whip, and the horse had turned two corners and left the city gate. Yan Ming became more and more confused and had to follow closely.

After running seven or eight miles in one go, people gradually became scarce. Baoyu reined in his horse and turned to Yan Ming: "Is there anyone selling incense here?" Yan Ming said, "There is some incense. I wonder what it is? " Baoyu thought, "Other perfumes are not good. You must make three kinds of perfumes: sandalwood, cloud smoke and drip incense." Yan Ming smiled and said, "These three kinds are rare." Baoyu is a little embarrassed. Yan Yan saw that he was embarrassed. He asked, "What do you want incense for?" I often see the fragrance in Mr. Zhong's small purse. Why not look for it? Hearing this, Baoyu reached out and took out a purse from his skirt. "。 When he touched it, two stars sank quickly. He said with joy, "It's just rude. "It is better to bring it yourself than to buy it yourself. So he asked the stove for charcoal. Yan Ming said, "That's all. There are also wild ones. "Why didn't you say it would be cheaper to take them?" Baoyu said, "If you had brought stupid things, you wouldn't have run away like this." Yan Yan thought for a long time and smiled. "I have an idea. I wonder what Mr. Zhong thinks? I think Sir Zhong uses more than this, and I'm afraid he will use something else. This is not a problem. Now we go two miles further, and it is the Narcissus Temple. " Baoyu asked quickly, "Is the Narcissus Temple here? Even better, we will go. " With that, he stepped forward and turned to Yan Ming: "The elder sister of this narcissus temple has gone to our house. We borrowed a censer from him when we went, and he naturally wanted to. " Yan Ming said, "Don't say that he is the fragrance of our family. Even in a temple I don't know for no reason, I didn't dare to refuse to borrow it from him. It's just that A. Baoyu said, "I used to hate laymen for being unreasonable, so I mixed gods to build temples. This is because rich husbands and those rich stupid women heard that there is a God, so they built a temple to worship it. They don't know who that god is, because they believe it when they hear some unofficial history novels. For example, this narcissus temple was named Narcissus Temple because it was dedicated to Luo God, but they didn't know there was a Luo God in ancient times. That's Cao Zijian's lie.

When he spoke, he had reached the door. When the old aunt saw Baoyu coming, she descended from the sky like a living dragon, came up to say hello and ordered the old man to lead the horse. Baoyu didn't worship the statue of Luo, but just enjoyed it. Although it is clay sculpture, it really has the realm of "dancing like a rainbow, graceful like Youlong", and "lotus flowers and blue waves reflect the sunrise". Even prepared a fragrant paper horse. Baoyu said, "Nothing." He ordered Yan Ming to take the stove to the backyard, but he couldn't find a clean place. "What about the well platform?" Baoyu nodded and went to the well platform to put down the furnace.

Yan Yan stood by. Baoyu took out the incense and burned it. He made a tearful half-salute, turned around and ordered it to be taken away. Yan Yan agreed, but he didn't accept it. He climbed down and kowtowed a few times, thinking, "I don't know anything about Yan Ming and Master Zhong in recent years. I just didn't tell me about this sacrifice today, and I dare not ask. It's just that the ghost of this sacrifice is unknown, so I want to come. " An extremely smart and elegant sister. Sir Zhong can't express his concern. I've come to send my blessing: it's not bad to visit Mr. Zhong from time to time, although Yin and Yang are separated. You can bless Sir Zhong to be a girl with you in the afterlife, and you can't regenerate this ugly thing. "After that, I kowtowed a few times to get up.

Baoyu kept laughing when he didn't finish, because he kicked him and said, "Don't talk nonsense, people listen to jokes." Yan Ming got up and put away the censer, and walked with Baoyu, because he said, "I have already told my aunt that Master Zhong hasn't eaten yet, and told him to pick up something casually, so that he can barely eat. I know that there is a big banquet in our house today, which is very lively. It is for this reason that Sir Zhong hid out. " You can't stop. Baoyu said, "Since you don't eat wine, why don't you have some light meals? "？ "Yan said," that's the way it is. Besides, there are people who are worried when we come. If no one is worried, why not go to town later? "If someone doesn't trust, Sir Zhong will have to go to the city to go home. The first old lady and her wife were relieved, and the second ceremony was over, but that was all. Even if he goes home to watch a play and eat wine, it's not his intention. He's just doing his filial duty with his parents. If Sir Zhong ignores the old lady and his wife for this reason, even the ghost who was just sacrificed will be restless. What do you think of me? " Baoyu smiled and said, "I guess what you mean. You think you're the only one who follows me out, and you're afraid you'll make a mistake when you come back, so you take this big topic to persuade me. I just came here, but I didn't say I wouldn't go to town for a day, just to show my respect. We have fulfilled our wish and are on our way to town, so don't worry. " Yan Ming said, "This is better."

They got on their horses and went back to their old ways. Yan Ming only told them behind: "Sir Zhong is easy to ride, but the horse is not big enough to ride, so his hands are tight." When he said this, he had already entered the city, but he still went in through the back door and hurried to Yikangyuan. Xiren is not in the house, only a few old women are looking after the house. When they saw him coming, they all smiled happily and said, "Ah! Drive the flower girl crazy! The boss is sitting at the table, Sir Zhong, go quickly. " When Baoyu heard that he was going to take off his plain clothes, he went to find a Hanfu and asked where to sit at the table. The old woman told him that it was in the newly-built living room.

Hearing this, Baoyu came all the way to the living room, and there was a faint flute in his ear. Just arrived in the hall, I saw Yuchuan sitting alone in the porch crying. When he came, he closed his tears and said, "The phoenix is coming. Go in quickly. If you don't come for a while, it will be reversed. " Baoyu smiled apologetically. "Where do you think I went?" Yuchuan didn't answer, just wiped her tears. Baoyu hurried into the hall and met Jia and Wang, and everyone really looked like a phoenix. Baoyu quickly greeted Xi 'an. Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang said that he didn't know what was good and what was bad. "Why did you run away without saying anything? Great! " If you do this again tomorrow, I'll ask the master to hit you when he comes home. Those servants who scolded him listened to him and went there without saying anything. At the same time, they asked him where he had been, but what he had eaten was frightening. Baoyu only said, "I lost one of the concubines of the King of Beijing yesterday, and I was angry with him. He cried like that, so he couldn't come back without it. "I will definitely call you Lao Zi to hit you." Baoyu promised. Because the boy who wants to play with him again is busy pleading, he advised: "The old lady doesn't have to worry too much. She has come back, everyone can rest assured and have fun. " First, the old lady was not at ease, but naturally she became furious. Now that she saw him coming, she was overjoyed, but she still hated it and didn't mention it. She is also afraid that he will not be used, or that he will not have enough to eat elsewhere. & lt Chai Jingjing >> Both Jia Mu and Aunt Xue cried, sighed and cursed.
