The 18th original of A Dream of Red Mansions

Speaking of Baochai, Guier has been thinking about it every day since she went to Beijing to take the exam. Since the messenger sent the good news that Guier won the first prize, she went outside to pick up her son every day. One day, I got up early, regardless of the cold wind, standing outside the yard and watching intently. Baoyu went out to call her, but it was time to get longer. I don't feel cold, which reminds me of Chen's illness and cough. Baoyu naturally asked the doctor to postpone taking medicine and serve him wholeheartedly. But this time, his condition is very dangerous. Three days later, he even took a breath. Many doctors were invited to change prescriptions, boil medicine and take medicine. At night, my cough got worse. Baoyu was sad. Liang Yong and Yanzi went to the kitchen to decoct medicine, leaving him and his wife in the house.

Because Baochai has been depressed, she is very ill. Although Baoyu came back for several years, Baochai was never pregnant again, and she was extremely envious of Li Wan's daughter Xiaohui. When she was ill, she couldn't help thinking about it, because she said, "I want to be king and have another boy and girl, but it's impossible now." I, I-"Baochai said, a burst of shortness of breath, a cough. Baoyu cried, "Sister, sister, don't talk and have a rest. Baochai held her breath and watched him cry and said, "Thirteen years, thirteen years! Do I have a place in your heart? Baoyu took Baochai's hand and wept bitterly. "。 He said, "My sister is so virtuous, and it is a blessing for Baoyu to have her company. Why do you say that? Sister, don't entertain foolish ideas, rest assured to recover from illness, Baoyu still wants to grow old with her sister-"Baochai shook her head and sighed," It's useless, it's useless, I'm miserable, I'm dead, and later, I'll be buried here, here, you and me, my husband and my wife, and I'll have a fight! Born, born in, he, He Shengliang! " And shouted a few times "mom! Mom! You hurt me! Baoyu said, "Sister, stop talking and have a rest! "！ "Baochai only shook her head, and Pearl wept and gasped for a moment. . Liang Yong and Yan Zi were just about to pour the medicine into the bowl. Before the pot was served, they heard Baoyu shout loudly, and all the medicine bowls were dropped. They ran into the house and took a look. Yan Zi was pale and weak, and asked Liang Yong to go to the kitchen to get the medicine. When it was served, Baoyu personally served it to Baochai several times before eating it. Baochai was panting like an ox and sent word to Xue Pan's house. When Xue Pan and Yanshi rushed in, Baochai's face and lips were pale, her eyes stared at Baoyu, her nose trembled, her chest fluctuated violently, and the three nests on her neck were clearly discernible with breathing. Xue Pan stamped his feet and rubbed his hands in a hurry and cried, "What can I do?" Yan asked, "Didn't you take medicine?" Yan Zi also cried, "I didn't put down the medicine bowl until I told my uncle's wife. I've been taking medicine, but somehow it didn't work. Baochai suddenly grabbed her hand, and both Xue Pan and Yan called out, "Sister! Sister! Baoyu called again, "Sister! Sister! Baochai suddenly sat up and said, "My, my laurel! "！ "Fell down with a bang, and then quietly, a wisp of fragrant soul drifted away, only 34 years old. It was the day when Lan Guixi received the imperial seal. Everyone was heartbroken and cried, and Baoyu even beat his chest. He also went to Beijing with Liang Yong to report the funeral.

Just then, Duan Gui and others gathered at Jia Lan's place to discuss rebuilding the Grand View Garden and Fannie and Freddie, and Liang Yong made a speech. Hearing that his mother had died, Jia Gui fell to the ground with a plop. Li Wan, Jia Lan and others were so scared that they went to help him. They called for a long time before they woke up and began to cry. Li Wan, Jia Lan and Duan Er burst into tears, and the outside was a mess. The servant girl reported that Xiaohui and Jia Lan's wife knew that they wouldn't give way and cried endlessly with Li Wan in their arms.

Jia Gui should have reported to the court that he obeyed orders, took off his supplementary clothes and put on plain clothes to wait at home. Jia Gui was so anxious that she cried for her mother that she didn't think about tea and rice. He was so anxious that Li Wan cried and advised him, "My son, you can't come back from the dead. You must always feel sorry for your loss. Wouldn't it be more unfilial if you somehow stirred up your mother's soul? My son, if you feel wronged and miss your mother, you can cry or swear before your mother's spirit. No, bring disgrace to oneself. Listen to me, at least eat something. " At that time, I was distressed and disgusting. I told Lan and Duan to accompany laurel and go back to the bedroom. Lan and Duan also cried in plain clothes. Jia Guifang managed to stop her sadness, ate some vegetarian food, remembered her mother and began to cry. The next day, under the imperial edict, the quasi-new champion and the Hanlin Academy wrote that Jia Gui funeral home would be reopened after three years. Jia Lan edited by the Imperial Academy and Xue Duan edited by the Confucian Academy were buried with them, and returned to the DPRK after the funeral; Jia Gui's mother was canonized as Mrs. Yipin, and the funeral was organized by the state. Qin this! Long live Jia Gui and others. Immediately, the family packed their bags and took several relatives to Zhuxi Town to attend the funeral.

When I got home, I set up a memorial tablet of "the position of Mrs. Yipin's loving mother at home" and burned paper money. Everyone was crying, but Baoyu knelt on the ground with empty eyes. Li Wan was afraid that he would be too sad, so she wiped her tears and whispered, "Brother Bao, you can't come back from the dead. Brother must be sorry for your loss. Take care. " Baoyu shook his head, and Li Wan added, "Xiaohui, help your second uncle go home and rest." Baoyu did not move. Jia Gui wants to bury his mother's body in Jinling. Baoyu said, "Your mother said before she died that she would be buried here." Refuse to say another word. Jia Gui had no choice but to bury his mother in Zhuxi Town according to the national system. Father and son will come to look after them every day, adding soil and fragrance, and crying on the stone tablet. Li Wan asked Baochai about her critical condition behind her back. Yan Zi said, "If you go back to your first wife, your second wife will die of asthma. Before she died, she called' Mom' several times, as if to say that her old lady had hurt her. We slaves can't understand what to say about' fish' and' light'; Finally, I shouted the name of Lord Rong Guogong. I don't know anything else. " Li Wan fumbled for a while, then shed tears and told Yan Zi not to tell anyone.

The next day, the north wind blew all night, and in the morning, it was overcast and snowed heavily. Li Wan said to Xiaohui, "It's time to get warm. Why is it snowing again? It's time for your brother to go back to Beijing to see him. How can this be good? " Suddenly I saw Baoyu standing in front of me with a hat and incense in his hand. Li Wan asked, "Brother Bao, today is not a good day. Be careful on the road. " He also ordered Liang Yong: "Take care of the second master." Baoyu said, "Thank you, Sister-in-law. I'm leaving. Guier is young and still awake. I beg my sister-in-law to control him and persuade him. " Say go out, Liang Yong followed. Li Wan was surprised: Why did he say those mindless words again? Is it crazy pain? Laurel was still sleeping in her tent when I went to see it at her house. I think she cried very sadly yesterday and went to bed too late. Yan Zi is waiting in the outhouse. Unconsciously, after half an hour, the snow outside is getting heavier and heavier, and Baoyu has not come back. Li wan is uneasy. Suddenly, her heart moved, and she urgently ordered someone to wake Guier, call Laner, and sneak out of the door step by step with the girl in her arms, followed by several relatives.

Not far from the door, I saw a man running in a panic. As I approached, I saw that it was Liang Yong. Li Wan asked, "Liang Yong, where is your second master?" Liang Yong cried, "madam, Liang Yong is incompetent. The second master sent his slave to get some firewood, but he missed it by mistake, and the second master disappeared! " Li Wan asked in a trembling voice, "Have you looked for it?" Liang Yong said, "I've looked everywhere, and there's no one there. I deserve to die, please ask the eldest wife to punish me! " Jia Gui was already in tears, and Li Wan was anxious and painful. She kept comforting: "Good boy, don't cry, don't cry! Your father will definitely come back. " He scolded Liang Yong and said, "You useless thing! Go and find it! " Lead everyone to Baochai's grave.

Go to Baochai's grave and look around. Where is the picture? The tomb is covered with snow, and the pine and cypress beside it are getting greener and greener. The wind rolled up the snow and cried, then filled everyone's footprints. Li Wan told them that it was useless to pick up all the thick snow nearby. Everyone looked around. Suddenly, Jia Gui pointed to something floating in the bamboo grove in the distance and said, "Look! What's that? " Everyone rushed to the front and saw a bamboo sticking out from the middle of a big stone. There is a blue-black ribbon hanging on the dry branch of the snow, like a long bamboo leaf, dancing in the snow, with infinite charm. Li Wan said, what a strange carnation! Why have you never seen this scene before? Baoyu's shoes are piled on the big stone where bamboo was born. Jia Lan took off the ribbon and handed it to Li Wan. Extremely long, silky, fine weavers, silky beauty, unique among the people. Looking closely, Li Wan found that the ribbon was actually woven by a silk thread, and there were no traces of cutting and sewing. Gently rub, there is a strange smell, and the more you rub, the stronger the smell. Everyone's expression is different, Li Wan thought: This is very strange. A seamless ribbon should be hung on the carnation. Strangely, this fragrance is definitely not the fragrance of ordinary flowers and plants. Besides, it is snowing now. Where are the flowers around? Except me and my illegitimate daughter, everyone else is male. My girl and I are not used to incense. This fragrance must come from the ribbon. What is even more strange is that this fragrance is getting stronger and stronger. I seem to have smelled it before, but I forgot where I smelled it. Just when I was thinking, there was a quiet music in my ear. Li Wan changed her face and asked, "Did you hear anything?" Everyone said they heard nothing but Jia Gui. Jia Lan said, "Maybe it's windy, but my mother heard me wrong." Jia Gui asked, "Is it the joy of someone getting married?" Li Wan said, "Most people get married. How can music be played at this time? Besides, this music cannot be played by ordinary musical instruments! "

Li Wan stood for a long time, told Liang Yong to put his clothes and shoes on the ground, and said to Jia Gui, "Son, your father is not a layman. He has become a fairy and will never come back. The reason for this is that I will tell you slowly when you are older. You need to bury these clothes and shoes in a cenotaph beside your mother to comfort her. I really wronged your mother. Now that you are a famous person, you have become useful. In the future, you should focus on serving the motherland and don't dwell on these things. Let's go home. " As he spoke, he shed tears. Jia Gui cried and nodded, and everyone felt cold and walked home.

As Li Wan walked, she thought that Sister Bao was an open-minded person, but she was doomed. If she told Brother Bao that there was no fate, there would be no so-called "golden jade and good marriage". If it's fate, I'm not as good as a hopeless person. I thought when Brother Bao came back, the two of them would grow old together. In my opinion, it is obvious that Brother Bao has an old relationship, so he used to talk about "the alliance of wood and stone". After listening to this, the servant said that later, flowers and bamboos were more abundant, and Xiaoxiang Pavilion was full of bamboos. He is just pretending to be a snake to Sister Bao. How could he not know? She is so high-spirited, she just keeps her sufferings in her heart and never says anything. Brother Bao is back here to kill himself! Because of her unfortunate life, she saw Laurel survive, but she gave up. Thinking about it, I suddenly heard someone singing in front of me, but I couldn't see anyone. I vaguely heard some "good" and "bad" voices. After turning a corner, the song disappeared. They hurried home after a few steps, and Li Wan felt uncomfortable in his chest. She was forbidden to hold her heart in both hands and frown. Jia Lan's wife and Xiaohui are welcoming her, and quickly changed clothes and shoes for Li Wan, served tea and helped her back to her room to rest.

After that, Jia Lan and Xue Duan returned to the DPRK to resume their lives, and Jia Lan allocated more maids to provide Li Wan with Jia Gui's filial piety in Zhuxi Town for three years. Three years later, they were reused by the imperial court, and Jia Gui's younger brother, Gui Lan, became famous, and there was an uproar in one's hand and one's hand.

Some people sigh Baochai and say that all good things are good, but who knows the bitterness?

Such as ice water, beautiful air, people don't fall in love.

Conclusion: In a deep sigh,

Happy and sad.

Conan's dream,

Talk about the madness of this world.
