Chapter 23 Chapter 23: The Story of the West Chamber

It is said that after Jia Yuanchun returned to the palace in the Grand View Garden that day, he ordered all the inscriptions of that day to be chanted.Therefore, Jia Zheng ordered people to select famous craftsmen everywhere to engrave characters on the millstone in the Grand View Garden. Jia Zhen led Rong, Ping and other supervisors.Because Jia Qiang was in charge of the civil servants and other 12 female dramas, it was inconvenient, so Jia Zhen called Jia Chang and Jia Ling to supervise the work.One day, Tang wax nailed the nails and started to move.This is not a problem. Let's say that the Jade Emperor Temple and the Bodhidharma Temple, a group of twelve young monks and twelve young Taoist priests, are now moved out of the Grand View Garden, and Jia Zheng is planning to send them to each temple to live separately.I don't want Jia Qin's mother, Zhou, who lives in the back street, to go to Jia Zheng's place to find a big and small business with her son, so that she can get some money to use. When she heard about this incident, she came in a sedan chair. Ask Sister Feng.Sister Feng agreed because she saw that he didn't usually act like a boss. After thinking a few words, she returned to Mrs. Wang and said, "These young monks and Taoists must not be sent elsewhere. The mother will accept it when she comes out."If it is scattered, it will be troublesome to use it again.In my opinion, it is better to send them to Tiekan Temple in our family temple, and just send a person to buy firewood and rice with a few taels of silver in a month.It's easy to talk, just go and call.After hearing this, Mrs. Wang discussed it with Jia Zheng.Jia Zheng laughed and said, "It reminded me, that's it."Call Jia Lian immediately.

At present, Jia Lian was having dinner with Sister Feng. When he heard the call, he didn't know what was going on, so he put down his meal and left.Sister Feng grabbed her and said with a smile: "Just stop and listen to me."If it's other things, I don't care. If it's about the little monks, I'll do it anyway.So and so taught a set of words.Jia Lian said with a smile, "I don't know if you have the ability. You can say it."After hearing this, Sister Feng poked her head back, put down her chopsticks, looked at Jia Lian with a half-smile on her cheek and said, "Are you serious? Are you joking?"Jia Lian laughed and said, "Yun'er, the son of the fifth sister-in-law in the west corridor, begged me two or three times to take care of something."I agreed and told him to wait.It was so easy to come out, and you snatched it away.Sister Feng smiled and said, "Don't worry."On the northeast corner of the garden, the lady said, she also asked Duoduo to plant pines and cypresses, and downstairs also asked to plant some flowers and plants.When this matter comes out, I will ensure that Yun'er is in charge of this project.Jia Lian said, "It's all right if that's the case."It's just that last night, I just wanted to change my appearance, so you twisted your hands and feet.Sister Feng laughed when she heard this, spat at Jia Lian, bowed her head and ate.

Jia Lian had already left with a smile. When he got to the front, he met Jia Zheng. It was indeed the matter of the little monk.Jia Lian followed Sister Feng's idea and said, "Now it seems that Qin'er is very promising, and this matter has been entrusted to him."Anyway, according to the regulations in it, it is enough to ask Qin'er to support it every month.Jia Zhengyuan didn't talk much about these things, but after hearing what Jia Lian said, he followed suit.Jia Lian went back to the room and told Sister Feng, and Sister Feng ordered someone to tell Zhou Shi.Jia Qin came to see Jia Lian and his wife, and thanked them very much.Sister Feng fell in love again and asked Jia Lian to pay for it for three months first, and asked him to write the collar.The silver treasury issued three months' supply according to the count, and it was two or three hundred taels in vain.Jia Qin took a piece at random, put it on the palm-level people, and told them to drink tea.So he ordered the boy to take it home and discuss it with his mother.Immediately hired a big-footed donkey and rode it himself; hired several cars, went to the corner gate of Rongguo Mansion, called twenty-four people, got in the car, and went straight to Tieshan Temple outside the city.I have nothing to say at the moment.

Now let's talk about Jia Yuanchun, because after compiling the inscription on the Grand View Garden in the palace, he suddenly remembered the scenery in the Grand View Garden.There are a few sisters in Kuang's family who are good at poetry and prose. Why don't you let them go in and live in it, so as not to make the beautiful woman down and the flowers and willows shameless.But I also thought that Baoyu grew up among sisters since childhood, no better than other brothers. If he is not ordered to go in, I am afraid that he will be deserted and not happy for a while. Fang Miao.After thinking about it, he ordered the eunuch Xia Shouzhong to come to Rongguo Mansion to issue an edict, ordering Baochai and others to just live in the garden and not to be locked up, and ordered Baoyu to go in with him to study.

Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang received the order, and after Xia Shouzhong left, they went back and forth to Ming Jia's mother, sent people in to clean up everywhere, and installed curtains and bed curtains.Others can still feel comfortable after hearing this, but Baoyu can't help but be happy when he hears this decree.I was planning with Jiamu, wanting this and getting that, when suddenly the maid said, "My master's name is Baoyu."Hearing this, Baoyu seemed to have been beaten by Jiao Lei. He immediately turned away his excitement, his face changed color, and he pulled Jia Mu to twist it like twisted buttocks, and dared not go if he killed him.Jia Mu had no choice but to comfort him and said, "My dear, you just go. With me, he dare not wrong you."Besides, you wrote that good article again.I think the empress told you to come in, and he told you a few words, but he didn't teach you to be naughty inside.Whatever he says, you just have to agree to it.While comforting, he called two old mothers and told Haosheng to take Baoyu there, and don't tell him that I should frighten him.The old mamma agreed.

Baoyu had to go forward, unable to move three inches a step, and came here.It happened that Jia Zheng was discussing matters in Mrs. Wang's room. Jin Chuan'er, Caiyun, Caixia, Xiuluan, Xiufeng and other maids were all standing under the eaves of the corridor. When Baoyu came, they all pursed their lips and smiled.Jin Chuan grabbed Baoyu and smiled quietly: "I just rubbed the fragrant rouge on my mouth. Will you eat it now?"Caiyun pushed Jin Chuan away, and said with a smile: "He is feeling uncomfortable, yet you still taunt him."If you like it now, go in quickly.Baoyu had to go in through the door.It turns out that both Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang are in the room.Aunt Zhao opened the curtain, and Baoyu bowed in.I saw Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang sitting opposite each other on the kang talking, and there were chairs slipping down the ground. Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun and Jia Huan were all sitting there.Seeing him coming in, only Tanchun, Xichun, and Jia Huan stood up.As soon as Jia Zheng raised his eyes, he saw Baoyu standing in front of him, looking elegant and charming. He looked at Jia Huan. Ai Ruzhen, her beard will be pale: because of these few things, the usual hatred of Baoyu has been reduced by eight or nine.After a while, he said: "Your Majesty ordered that you go out to play every day, and gradually become lazy. Now you are called forbidden, and you read and write in the garden with your sister."You can study hard, and if you don't keep your rules, you can be careful!Baoyu promised several yess again and again.Mrs. Wang then pulled him to sit beside her.The three of his siblings still sat down.

Mrs. Wang stroked Baoyu's neck and said, "Have you finished taking the pills before?"Baoyu replied, "There is one more pill."Mrs. Wang said: "Take another ten pills tomorrow. Every day when you are going to sleep, ask Xiren to wait for you to eat before going to sleep."Baoyu said: "I only follow my wife's orders. Xiren thinks about it every night and sends me to eat."Jia Zheng asked, "Who is the attacker?"Mrs. Wang said: "It's a girl."Jia Zhengdao: "It doesn't matter what the girl's name is. Who is so tricky to come up with such a name?"Seeing that Jia Zheng was uncomfortable, Mrs. Wang covered it up for Baoyu and said, "It was the old lady who started it."Jia Zheng said, "How does the old lady know this? It must be Baoyu."Seeing that Baoyu couldn't hide it, he had to get up and reply: "Yinshi reads poems every day, and I once remembered that there is a poem by the ancients: "The fragrance of flowers is so strong that people know that the day is warm."Because the girl's surname is Hua, she casually named her.Mrs. Wang hurriedly said again, "Baoyu, go back and change it."There is no need for the master to get angry about this trivial matter.Jia Zheng said, "It doesn't matter after all, so why change it?"It's just that Baoyu doesn't do his job right, but only works on these rich and colorful poems.After finishing speaking, let's stop drinking: You bastard who works, don't go out yet!Mrs. Wang also hurriedly said: "Go ahead, I'm afraid the old lady is waiting for you to eat."Baoyu agreed, and slowly withdrew, sticking out her tongue to Jin Chuan'er with a smile, and took the two nuns away.

As soon as I arrived at the door of the hall, I saw Xiren standing there leaning against the door. When Baoyu came back safely, he piled up a smile and asked, "What do you want to do?"Baoyu told him, "It's nothing, but I'm afraid that I will go into the garden to be mischievous, so I will give orders."On the one hand, he went back to Jia's mother and explained the whole story.Seeing Lin Daiyu there, Baoyu asked him, "Where do you live?"Lin Daiyu was thinking about it, when Baoyu asked him suddenly, she smiled and said, "I think of Xiaoxiang Pavilion in my heart, and I love those few poles of bamboo hidden by a curved railing, which is more quiet than other places."Baoyu clapped his hands and laughed and said, "Just like my idea, I want you to live here too."I live in Yihong Courtyard, we are both close and quiet.

When the two were thinking about it, Jia Zheng sent someone back to Jia's mother and said, "February 22 is a good day, and my brothers and sisters can move in."In the past few days, people have been sent in to distribute and clean up.Xue Baochai lives in Hengwuyuan, Lin Daiyu lives in Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Jia Yingchun lives in Zhuijinlou, Tanchun lives in Qiushuangzhai, Xichun lives in Liaofengxuan, Li Shi lives in Daoxiang Village, and Baoyu lives in Yihongyuan.There are two old mothers and four maids in each place. In addition to the maids who are accompanied by each nanny, there are also those who are in charge of cleaning.On the 22nd day, they went in together, and when they were in the garden, they made embroidered belts, and the willows were blowing in the fragrant wind. They were not so lonely as before.

Gossip less.Let's say that Baoyu has been content since he entered the garden, and there is nothing else to be greedy for.daily only Together with the sisters and girls, they may read, write, play the piano and play chess, paint pictures and recite poems, or even describe luan and phoenix, Fighting grass and hairpin flowers, singing softly, cracking and guessing characters, doing everything, but also very happy.he had several impromptu poems , although it is not good, but it is the real situation, a few words: spring night Xia Xiaoyun and Yun Wei are in charge of laying out the show, and the toad in the alley is even more untrue.

The pillow is cold and rainy outside the window, and the spring scenery in front of me is a dreamer. Yingying candle tears because of who weeps, and a little bit of flower worry is angry for me. Naturally, the little servant girl is lazy and coquettish, and she can't bear to laugh and talk frequently. summer night The beauty of tired embroidery has long dreams, and the golden cage parrot calls for tea soup. The window is bright and the musk moon opens the palace mirror, and the room is covered with sandalwood clouds and royal incense. The amber cup is poured with lotus and dew, and the glass sill is cool with willows. The water pavilion is moving everywhere, and the curtain is rolled up on the Zhulou to put on evening makeup. Autumn Night Immediately There is absolutely no noise in the Jiangyun Pavilion, and the flowing light of Gui Po is soaked in Qiansha. The moss locks the stone pattern to accommodate the sleeping crane, and the well floats in the tung dew to wet the crow. The handmaid who holds the quilt goes to Shu Jinfeng, and the person who leans on the threshold returns to Luo Cuihua. Sleepless at night, thirsty for wine, heavy smoke and re-dial to make tea. winter night The dream of plum, soul and bamboo has already passed the third watch, and Jin Yu has not yet slept in a quilt. In the court of pine shadows, only cranes can be seen, but the ground is full of pear blossoms, but no warblers are heard. The daughter Cuixiu's poetry is cold, and the son's golden mink is light in wine. But he likes to serve his children and try the tea, sweeping and cooking the new snow in time. Because of these poems, a class of snobs at that time saw that they were written by the twelve or thirteen-year-old sons of the Rongguo Mansion, and they copied them out and praised them everywhere; On the wall, chant praises from time to time.Therefore, some people came to look for poems and characters, and Qianhua asked for questions.Baoyu also got a good idea, and the town's family did these foreign affairs. Whoever wants to be troubled in silence, suddenly feels uncomfortable all day, this is not good, and that is not good, going out and going in is just boring.Most of those people in the garden are girls, in the chaotic world, when they are innocent and innocent, they don't avoid sitting and lying, laughing and laughing carelessly, how can they know Baoyu's mind at this time.That Baoyu felt uncomfortable, so he was lazy in the garden and only fooled around outside, but he was foolish.Seeing him like this, Mingyan wanted to be happy with him, and thought about it all because Baoyu was stubborn and couldn't be happy, but Baoyu had never seen this one.After thinking about it, he went to the bookstore and bought a lot of ancient and modern novels, the rumors of Feiyan, Hede, Wu Zetian, and Concubine Yang, and the legendary horns, and attracted Baoyu to read them.Baoyu has never seen these books before, and once he sees them, he feels like he has obtained treasures.Mingyan also told him not to take it into the garden. If someone finds out, I won't be able to eat it and walk around.Baoyu was reluctant to take it in. After hesitating again and again, he just picked out a few sets of the fine arts and sciences, put them on the top of the bed, and watched them closely when no one was around.The vulgar ones are hidden in the study outside. That day was in the middle of March. After breakfast, Baoyu took a set of "Hui Zhen Ji" and sat on a stone under the peach blossoms by the Qinfang gate bridge. He unfolded "Hui Zhen Ji" and played it carefully from the beginning.Just when I saw the red flowers falling into arrays, I saw a gust of wind blowing down more than half of the peach blossoms on the top of the tree, leaving books all over the ground.Baoyu wanted to shake it off, but he was afraid that his footsteps would be trampled on, so he had to take the petals and come to the pool and shake it in the pool.The petals floated on the surface of the water, fluttering, and flowed out of the Qinfang Gate. When I came back, I saw that there were many underground. Baoyu was hesitating, only to hear someone behind him say, "What are you doing here?"As soon as Baoyu turned her head, it was Lin Daiyu who came, with a flower hoe on her shoulder, a flower bag hanging on the hoe, and a flower broom in her hand.Baoyu laughed and said, "Okay, okay, let's sweep up this flower and put it in the water."I just put a lot of them in there.Lin Daiyu said: "It's not good to leave it in the water."You see, the water here is clean, it just flows out, and the place where there are people is dirty and smelly, and the flowers are still collapsed.I have a flower mound on the crooked corner. Now I have swept it away, put it in this silk bag, and buried it with soil. After a long time, it will melt with the soil, so it will not be clean. Baoyu couldn't help but smile and said, "Wait for me to put down the book and help you clean it up."Daiyu said: "What book?"When Baoyu saw and asked, he was so panicked that he couldn't hide it, so he said, "It's just "The Doctrine of the Mean" and "The Great Learning."Daiyu laughed and said, "You are playing tricks in front of me again."Show me as soon as possible, there are a lot of them.Baoyu said, "My dear sister, if we talk about you, I'm not afraid."You see, at least don't tell others to go.Really this is a good book!If you want to see it, you don't even want to eat.While speaking, handed over.Lin Daiyu put down all the flower utensils, took the book to read, and read it from the beginning, the more she read it, the more she loved it. In less than a meal, she finished reading all sixteen chapters.Although I finished reading the book, I just kept thinking about it, and I still recited it silently in my heart. Baoyu laughed and said, "Sister, do you agree?"Lin Daiyu laughed and said, "It's really interesting."Baoyu said with a smile, "I'm just a sad and sick body, and you are that beauty that overwhelms the country and the city."When Lin Daiyu heard this, her cheeks and ears turned red, and she immediately raised two eyebrows that seemed to be frowning but not frowning, and stared at two eyes that seemed to be half-open, with anger on her cheeks and anger on her thin face, she pointed to Baoyu and said: You bloody nonsense!You got this obscene words and songs well, and you even learned these nonsense words to bully me.I told my uncle and aunt to go.Speaking of the word bullying, the circles of his eyes were red again, and he turned and left.Baoyu was in a hurry, stopped forward and said, "My dear sister, please forgive me for this. I was wrong."If you want to bully you, tomorrow I will fall into the pond, and teach a mangy turtle to swallow it, and become a big forgetful person. When you become a first-class wife tomorrow and return home from illness, I will carry it on your grave for you. The monument of a lifetime goes.Lin Daiyu sneered and laughed, rubbing her eyes, and said with a smile: "Generally, I also bluff this tune, and just talk nonsense."Bah, it turned out to be a seedling but not beautiful, but a silver-like pewter gun head.After hearing this, Baoyu smiled and said, "What about you?"I also told go.Lin Daiyu said with a smile: You said you can read by eye, can't I see ten lines at a glance? While collecting the book, Baoyu smiled and said, "Seriously, bury the flowers soon, don't mention that."The two of them picked up the fallen flowers, and just as they were about to bury the compromise, they saw the attacker coming and said, "I didn't find it there, so I found it here."The old man over there is not well, the girls are all going to pay their respects, the old lady told you to send you.Go back and change your clothes.After hearing this, Baoyu quickly took the book, said goodbye to Daiyu, and went back to the room with Xiren to change clothes without mentioning it. Here Lin Daiyu saw that Baoyu had gone, and heard that all the sisters were not in the room, so she was depressed.Just about to go back to the room, just walked to the corner of Lixiangyuan, only to hear the melodious flute rhyme and singing in the wall.Lin Daiyu knew that the twelve girls were practicing opera.It's just that Lin Daiyu didn't like to read operas very much, so she didn't pay attention and just walked forward.Occasionally, two lines blew into my ears, clearly and plainly, without falling a word, and sang: It turns out that the flowers are blooming everywhere, but like this, they are all ruined.When Lin Daiyu heard this, she was very moved, so she stopped to listen carefully, and then she sang: "It's beautiful on a beautiful day, but who's house is there to enjoy the pleasure?"After hearing these two sentences, I nodded and sighed, and thought to myself: So there are good articles in the play.It's a pity that people in the world only know how to watch plays, and may not be able to appreciate the fun of them.After thinking about it, I regretted that I should not dream about it and delayed listening to the music.When she listened again, she only listened to the singing: For you, you are as beautiful as a flower, and the years like water flow away. After hearing these two sentences, Lin Daiyu couldn't feel her heart swaying.He also heard: "You are in a secluded boudoir, you feel pity and other sentences, and you are also intoxicated and infatuated. You can't stand up, so you squat down and sit on a mountain rock, chewing on the taste of the eight words "Like a flower and a beautiful family, like a passing year like water."Suddenly, I remembered that in the poems of the ancients the other day, there was a sentence of flowing water, flowers and thanking two merciless, and then there was another sentence in the poem, "flowing water and falling flowers, spring goes away", the sentence of heaven and earth, and also the sentence of "The Story of the West Chamber" just now. The words of species all came to mind for a moment and gathered in one place.Thinking about it carefully, I felt heartache and madness, tears in my eyes.Just when there was no opening, I suddenly felt a blow on the back, and when I looked back, it turned out that it would be broken down next time.It's exactly: Zhuang Chenxiu Ye has no heart, and hates Yue Linfeng.
