It is said that Baoyu and his sisters were sitting together when they watched "The Story of the Hairpin".When Lin Daiyu saw the publication of "Male Sacrifice", she said to Baochai: "The king and his friends don't know each other very well. No matter where they sacrifice, they must go to the riverside to do something!"As the saying goes, seeing things and thinking about people, all the water in the world comes from one source, no matter where the water is, scoop up a bowl of water and watch it cry, and you will enjoy it.Baochai didn't answer.Baoyu turned around and asked for hot wine to toast Sister Feng.

It turns out that Jia's mother said that today is no better than in the past, and she must make Sister Feng happy all day.Originally, I was lazy to sit at the table, so I just leaned on the couch in the inner room, watched a play with Aunt Xue, picked whatever I liked and put it on the small table, and ate and talked at will; The girls, big and small, who don't have a table, and the women who are on errands are ordered to sit and eat and drink at will under the verandah outside the window, without formality.Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing were sitting on the high table in the ground, and his sisters were sitting on the tables outside.From time to time, Jia's mother told Youshi to wait: Let Feng girl sit on it, so you can treat me for me, and it's hard for her to work hard all year round.You Shi agreed, then smiled back and said, "He is not used to sitting on the chief seat, sitting on top of him, either vertically or horizontally, and he refuses to drink wine."After hearing this, Jia Mu laughed and said, "You won't, wait for me to let him go in person."Sister Feng came in too, and said with a smile: "Old ancestors, don't believe what they say, I've been eating for several minutes."Jiamu smiled and ordered Youshi: "Pull him out quickly, put him on the chair, and you all take turns to respect him."If he doesn't eat anymore, I really went there myself.When Youshi heard about it, he laughed and pulled him out to sit down again. He ordered someone to take a cup and pour wine, and said with a smile: "It's hard for you to be filial to the old lady, my wife and me all year round."I don't want to hurt you today, pour a glass of wine myself, and take a sip in my hand obediently.Sister Feng said with a smile, "You should respect me with peace of mind. Kneel down and I'll drink."Youshi smiled and said: You don't know who you are talking about!Let me tell you, it's so easy to experience this today, after a while, do you know that it will still be as terrible as it is today?Just try your best to pour the funeral for two bells.

Seeing that she couldn't push it, Sister Feng had to drink for two minutes.Then all the sisters came, and Sister Feng had to take a sip from each of them.Seeing that Jia Mushang was so happy, Da Mama Lai had to come to have fun, and led some nuns to toast.It was hard for Sister Feng to shirk, so she had to take two sips.The mandarin ducks and others also came to pay their respects. Sister Feng couldn't do it anymore, so she hurriedly said, "Good sisters, please forgive me, and I will drink again tomorrow."Yuanyang smiled and said: Really, are we ashamed?Even if we are in front of my wife, my wife will give me a compliment.It's a bit decent in the past, but today, in front of these people, I took the master's money.I shouldn't have come.If you don't drink, we'll leave.Said really went back.Sister Feng hurriedly caught up with her and said with a smile, "My dear sister, I'll just drink it."As he spoke, he brought the wine, poured a full glass and drank it dry.Yuanyang Fang smiled and dispersed.

Then sit down again.Sister Feng felt that she was drunk, and her heart suddenly seemed to hit her head, and she wanted to go home to have a rest. When she saw the juggler coming up, she said to Youshi, "I'm ready to reward you. I want to wash my face."You Shi nodded.Sister Feng saw that people were not guarded, so she left the banquet and walked under the back eaves of the door.Ping'er paid attention and hurriedly followed, and Sister Feng supported him.When he got to the corridor, he saw a little girl in his room standing there. When he saw the two of them coming, he turned around and ran away.Sister Feng was suspicious and called out.The girl pretended not to hear at first, but even Ping'er called after her helplessly, so she had to come back.Sister Feng became more and more suspicious, hurriedly Ping'er went into the hallway, asked the little girl to come in too, and closed the fan. Sister Feng sat on the steps of the small courtyard, ordered the girl to kneel, and told Ping'er: Call the two boys on the second door, take the rope and whip, smash the little hoof that has no master in the eyes!The little girl was so frightened that she kowtowed and begged for mercy while crying.Sister Feng asked, "I'm not a ghost. When you saw me, why didn't you just stand still and run forward?"The little girl cried, "I didn't see grandma coming."I also remembered that there was no one in the room, so I ran away.Sister Feng said: "There is no one in the room, so who told you to come?"You didn't see me, and I, Heping'er, dragged my neck and called you a dozen times, running away more and more.It's not far away, are you deaf?You are still talking to me!As he said that, he raised his hand and slapped the little girl on the face, and hit the little girl's face; another slap on the other side of the face, and the little girl's cheeks turned purple.Ping'er hurriedly persuaded: "Grandma, be careful that your hands hurt."Sister Feng said, "If you hit it again, ask her why she ran."If she didn't say anything, she would tear her mouth apart!The little girl forced her mouth at first, and then heard that Sister Feng was about to burn a red iron to brand her mouth, Fang cried: "Second Master is at home, he sent me here to watch grandma, if grandma is gone, ask me to deliver the letter first." son to go.Don't expect grandma to come right now.When Sister Feng saw that there was an article in the conversation, she asked again, "what are you telling me to look at me for?"Are you afraid that I won't be able to go home?There must be other reasons, tell me quickly, I will love you from now on.If you don't speak in detail, a knife will be used to cut your flesh immediately.As he said that, he turned around and pulled out a hairpin from his head, and poked at the girl's mouth indiscriminately, scaring the girl so that she hid and cried, "I'll tell grandma, don't tell me what I said."While persuading, Ping'er urged him, telling her to speak quickly.The girl then said: "The second master just came to the room. He woke up after sleeping for a while, and sent someone to visit grandma. He said that he was just sitting at the table, and he will not come here for a while."The second master opened the box, took two pieces of silver, two hairpins, and two bolts of satin, and asked me to quietly send it to Bao Er's wife and tell him to come in.She collected the things and came to our house.The second master asked me to come and watch grandma, I don't know what's going on.

After hearing this, Sister Feng was so angry that she became weak all over. She quickly stood up and came home.As soon as I arrived at the gate of the courtyard, I saw another little girl poking her head in front of the gate. When she saw Sister Feng, she shrank her head and ran away.Sister Feng stopped when she mentioned the famous name.That girl was originally clever, seeing that she couldn't hide, she simply ran out and said with a smile: I was about to tell grandma to go, but grandma happened to be here.Sister Feng said, "Tell me what?"The little girl then said that the second master was at home so-and-so, and repeated what she had just said.Sister Feng spat: What did you do earlier?I saw you at this moment, you come and clean it up!As he said that, he raised his hand and beat the girl staggeringly.He tiptoed to the window.When you listen in, you only listen to the jokes inside.The woman smiled and said, "It would be nice if your Hades wife died sooner or later."Jia Lian said: "It's the same when she dies and marries another one. So what?"The woman said: "She is dead, but you should straighten Ping'er, I'm afraid it will be better."Jia Lian said: "Now even Ping'er doesn't ask me to dip it."Ping'er was also aggrieved and dared not speak.Why should I commit Yasha Xing in my life.

When Sister Feng heard this, she was so angry that she was shaking all over, and when she heard that they both praised Ping'er, she suspected that Ping'er usually had resentment behind her back. He hit him twice first, then he kicked open the door and went in, grabbing Bao Er's house and beating him up.Afraid that Jia Lian would go out, she stood blocking the door and cursed, "What a whore!"You stole the master's man, but also put the master's wife to death!Ping'er come here!You whores forget eight vines, how much you dislike me, you coax me outside!As he spoke, he beat Ping'er a few more times, and Ping'er was so wronged that he had nowhere to complain, so he was so angry that he cried, cursing: "You guys do these shameless things, so why don't you drag me in again!"As he spoke, he also tore up Bao's family.Jia Lian was also happy to come in because he had too much wine. He never kept it secret. When he saw Sister Feng coming, he had no idea.Seeing that Ping'er also made a fuss, he became angry with the wine.When Sister Feng beat Bao Er's family, he was already angry and ashamed, so he couldn't say anything. Seeing that Ping'er was also beating, he came up and kicked and scolded, "What a whore!"You beat people too!Ping'er was timid, stopped his hands in a hurry, and cried, "you are talking behind your back, why are you pulling me?"When Sister Feng saw that Ping'er was afraid of Jia Lian, she became more and more angry. She came up to beat Ping'er again, but called Bao's family.Ping'er was in a hurry, so he ran out to find a knife to kill himself.All the women and girls outside hurriedly stopped and persuaded.Here, seeing Ping'er looking for death, Sister Feng bumped her head into Jia Lian's arms and shouted, "You have a vine hurting me. I heard it and frightened me."You strangle me too!Jia Lian was so angry that he pulled out his sword from the wall and said, "Don't seek death, I'm in a hurry too, kill them all, I pay for my life, and everyone is clean."Just when there was a lot of trouble, Youshi and a group of people came and said, "How can I say this? It's all right, so I started to make trouble."When Jia Lian saw someone, he became more and more drunk with wine, and pretended to be majestic, deliberately trying to kill Sister Feng.When Sister Feng saw people coming, she didn't splash as much as before. She left everyone and ran to Jia Mu crying.

At this time, the play was over, and Sister Feng ran to Jiamu, crawled into Jiamu's arms, and said: "Old ancestor, save me!"Second Master Lian is going to kill me!Mrs. Jia, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang asked what was wrong.Sister Feng cried and said, "I just went home to change clothes. If I don't prevent the second master Lian from talking to people at home, I just take it as a visitor, so I dare not go in."Listening outside the window, it turned out that they were discussing with the daughter-in-law of Bao Er's family, saying that I was in danger, and they wanted to give me poison, put me to death, and put Ping'er upright.I was angry and didn't dare to quarrel with him, so I slapped Ping'er twice and asked him why he wanted to hurt me.He was ashamed and wanted to kill me.When Jia Mu heard this, she believed it was true and said, "It's not bad!"Get that dirty seed!

Before he finished speaking, Jia Lian came rushing with a sword, followed by many people.Jia Lianming took advantage of Jiamu's love for them every day, even his mother and aunt, so he made a fuss.When Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang saw this, they hurriedly stopped and cursed: "This dirty seed!"You are getting more and more rebellious, the old lady is here!Jia Lian squinted and said: "It's the old lady who spoils him, that's why he is like this, even I scolded him!"Mrs. Xing snatched the sword angrily, just tell him to get out!Jia Lian acted coquettishly and foolishly, and the one who was salivating only talked nonsense.Jia Mu said angrily: "I know you don't put us in your eyes, and ask someone to call his father to see if he can go!"When Jia Lian heard this, Fang staggered out and didn't go home in anger, so he went out to the study.

Here Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang also say Sister Feng.Jia Mu laughed and said, "What's the matter!"The children are young and greedy like cats, so they can't be kept there.Everyone has been playing like this since childhood.It's all my fault, she took two extra sips of wine and became jealous again.Everyone who said it laughed.Jia Mu said again, "Don't worry, I'll ask him to come and make amends for you tomorrow."Don't go over and embarrass him today.Yin scolded again: Ping'er's hoof, I usually think he is good, why is he so bad secretly.You Shi and others laughed and said: "Ping'er is not, it's Feng girl who took her to vent her anger."It's not easy for the couple to fight each other, and they both hold Ping'er and lose their temper.Ping'er was so wronged, the old lady even scolded him.Jia Mu said, "So that's how it is. I said that child is not like that foxy nightmare."Since this is the case, it is pitiful to be angry with them in vain.Yin called: "Huber, come, you go out and tell Ping'er, just say what I said: I know she has been wronged, and tomorrow I will ask Feng girl to make amends for her."Today is a good day for her master, she is not allowed to mess around.

It turned out that Ping'er had been dragged into the Grand View Garden by Li Wan long ago.Ping'er was sobbing so hard that he couldn't speak.Baochai persuaded, "You are a sensible person. How can girl Feng wait for you on weekdays? Today, she just has an extra sip of wine."He doesn't take out his anger on you, can't he take it out on others?Others laughed at him for being drunk again.You only care about making mistakes now, wouldn't your benefits in the past be all fake?Just as she was talking, Amber came and said what Jia Mu said.Ping'er felt that there was a radiance on his face, and he was getting better just now, so he didn't move forward.Baochai waited for a rest before coming to see Jiamu and Sister Feng.

Baoyu asked Ping'er to come to Yihong courtyard.Xiren hurriedly continued, and said with a smile: "I originally wanted to let you go, but because the grandma and the girls all let you go, it's hard for me to let you go."Ping'er also laughed and said thank you.Yin said again: "Let's start from there, I was angry for no reason."Xiren laughed and said, "Second Mistress treats you well every day. This is just a moment of impatience."Ping'er said: "Second Mistress didn't say anything, it's just that the whore ruled me, and he just made fun of me, not to mention our foolish master beat me up."As he spoke, he was wronged again and couldn't help crying.Baoyu hurriedly persuaded, "My dear sister, don't be sad. I'll make up for both of them."Ping'er laughed and said, "What does it have to do with you?"Baoyu laughed and said, "We brothers and sisters are all the same."They offended someone, and I should make amends for him.He said again: "It's a pity that the new clothes are also stained. Here are your sister Hua's clothes. Why don't you change them, spray them with some shochu, and iron them."Comb your hair and wash your face.While speaking, he ordered the little girls to scoop up washing water and heat the iron. Ping'er Suxi only heard people say that Baoyu was good at making friends with girls; Baoyu Suri, because Ping'er was Jia Lian's concubine and Sister Feng's confidant, she refused to get close to him. For hate.Seeing him like this, Ping'er thought secretly: Sure enough, what he said was true, and he was thoughtful and thoughtful.Seeing that Xiren Tete opened the box and took out two clothes that he didn't wear much to change with him, he hurriedly took off his own clothes and went to wash his face.Baoyu persuaded with a smile, "My sister should put on some makeup, otherwise it seems like she is angry with Sister Feng."Besides, it's her good day again, and the old lady sent someone to comfort you again.After hearing this, Ping'er went to look for fans, but there were no fans.Baoyu hurriedly walked to the dressing table, opened a Xuan kiln porcelain box, which contained a row of ten jade hairpin sticks, and handed one to Ping'er.He laughed again and said to her, "This is not lead powder, it's made from the seeds of mirabilis, crushed and mixed with spices."When Ping'er put it on his palm and looked at it, he saw that it was light, white, red, and fragrant, all four of which were beautiful, and it was easy to even out the skin when it was thrown on the face, and it could moisturize the skin, unlike other pinks, greens, heavy and astringent.Then I saw that the rouge was not in sheets, but a small white jade box, which contained a box, like rose ointment.Baoyu laughed and said: "The rouge sold in that market is not clean, and the color is thin."This is the juice of the best rouge wrung out, cleaned of dross, steamed and stacked with floral dew.Just pick a little with a thin hairpin, wipe it in the palm of your hand, dissolve it with a little water, and wipe it on your lips; the palm of your hand is enough to hit the cheeks.Ping'er made up her makeup according to the words, and it turned out to be very bright and sweet, and her cheeks were full of sweet fragrance.Baoyu took another branch of Bingdi Qiuhui in the pot with bamboo scissors, and put it on the temple with him.Suddenly seeing Li Wan sending a girl to call him, Fang hurried away. Because Baoyu has never done her best before Ping'er, and Ping'er is a very smart, very handsome and classy girl, she deeply resents that vulgar fool.Today is Jin Chuan'er's birthday, so it's not a happy day.If you don't want to fall behind and cause this incident, you have to do your best in front of Ping'er, which is also the joy you don't want in business.Because he was lying on the bed, he was very contented.Suddenly he thought about Jia Lian, who only knew how to please himself with prostitution, but didn't know how to be a beauty powder.And Siping'er has no parents, brothers and sisters. He is alone and supplies Jia Lian and his wife.Jia Lian's customs and Sister Feng's prestige, he can be thoughtful and considerate, and he is still being abused today. I think this person's life is worse than that of Daiyu.Thinking of this, I became sad again, and burst into tears unknowingly.Seeing that Xiren and others were not in the room, I tried my best to shed a few painful tears.When I got up, I saw that the wine sprayed on the clothes just now was half dry, so I took the iron and folded them; seeing that her handkerchief was forgotten, and there were still tears on it, I took it to the washbasin and washed it to dry.Joy and sadness, bored for a while, also came to Daoxiang village, gossip for a while, light the lamp and then leave. Ping'er rested at Li Wan's place all night, and Sister Feng only followed Jia Mu.Jia Lian returned to his room at night. It was deserted and it was not easy to call, so he had to sleep carelessly all night.Woke up the next day, thinking about what happened yesterday, it was very boring, and I regretted not coming.Mrs. Xing remembered that Jia Lian was drunk yesterday, so she came over early in the morning and called Jia Lian to come over to Jia Mu.Jia Lian had no choice but to come forward with shame and kneel down in front of Jia's mother.Jia Mu asked him: What's the matter?Jia Lian hurriedly laughed and said, "Yesterday I had a drink, which surprised the old lady. Today I come to confess the crime."Jia's mother spat: "Dirty things, filled with yellow soup, don't say that you will stand up for yourself, but beat your wife!"Feng girl said to her family all day long that she was like a bully, and she was bluffing pitifully yesterday.If it weren't for me, you would have hurt her life, what would happen now?Jia Lian was so wronged that he didn't dare to argue, but only admitted that it was not.Jia Mu said again: "Isn't Feng girl Ping'er a beautiful fetus?"You are not enough!All day long, the family steals chickens and dogs, and the dirty and smelly ones drag you into the house.Because of this adulterer beating his wife and the people in the house, you are lucky that you were born as a son of a big family, so you beat your mouth alive.If you have me in your eyes, you get up, I will forgive you, obediently apologize for your wife, and take her home, I like it.Otherwise, you can just go out, and I dare not accept your kneeling.Jia Lian heard this, and saw Sister Feng standing there, without makeup, her eyes were swollen from crying, she didn't apply makeup, her yellow face, she felt more pitiful and lovely than usual.Thinking: It's better to pay for it, and we'll get along with each other, and please the old lady again.After thinking about it, he smiled and said: I dare not disobey the old lady's words, but I have indulged her more and more.Jia Mu laughed and said, "Nonsense!"I know he is the most polite, and he will never run into people again.If she offends you in the future, I will naturally be the master, and just tell you to surrender. When Jia Lian heard about it, he got up, made a bow with Sister Feng, and said with a smile, "So it's my fault, Second Mistress, please forgive me."Everyone in the room laughed.Jia Mu said with a smile: "Girl Feng, don't be annoyed. If you are annoyed, I will be annoyed."Then he ordered someone to call Ping'er, and ordered Sister Feng and Jia Lian to comfort Ping'er.When Jia Lian saw Ping'er, she couldn't care less. The so-called wife is worse than a concubine, and a concubine is worse than a thief. As soon as Jia Mu said it, she rushed up and said, "The girl was wronged yesterday, and it's all my fault."Grandma offended you, but also because of me.If I make a loss, it’s not a big deal, and I’ll even make a loss for your grandma.As he said, he also made a bow, which made Jia Mu laugh, and Sister Feng also laughed. Mother Jia ordered Sister Feng to comfort her.Ping'er hurriedly came up to kowtow to Sister Feng, and said: Grandma's Qianqiu, I made grandma angry, I deserve to die.Sister Feng is ashamed and regretting that she drank too much wine yesterday. She doesn't think about her usual feelings and becomes impetuous.Seeing her like this now, she felt ashamed and sad at the same time, so she hurriedly pulled her up and shed tears.Ping'er said: "I have been serving grandma for so many years, and I haven't even flicked my nails."Even if I beat me yesterday, I don't blame grandma, it was all done by that adulteress, so I can't blame grandma for being angry.As he spoke, he also shed tears.Then Jia Mu ordered the three of them to be sent back to the room. One of them brought up the matter again, and immediately came back to me. I don't care who it is, I will give him a meal with a walking stick.The three kowtowed to Mrs. Jia Mu, Xing and Wang again.The old mother agreed and sent the three of them back. In the room, Sister Feng saw no one, so Fang said, "Why am I like the King of Hades and Yasha?"That whore cursed me to death, and you cursed me too.A thousand days is bad and one day is good.Poor me, I am no better than an adulteress, what face do I have to live this life?Say, cry again.Jia Lian said, "Are you not enough?"If you think about it, who didn't have a lot yesterday?I knelt down in front of people today, and apologized, and you won all.You're still nagging now, why don't you just ask me to kneel down for you?Being too strong is not a good thing.Sister Feng was speechless, and Ping'er laughed again with a snort.Jia Lian also laughed and said, "It's good again!"I really can't help it. Just as I was talking, I saw a daughter-in-law saying back and forth: "Bao Er's daughter-in-law has hanged herself."Jia Lian and Sister Feng were all surprised.Sister Feng hurriedly put away her timid look, and shouted back: "It's all dead, what's the fuss about!"For a while, I saw Lin Zhixiao's family come in, and quietly returned to Sister Feng, saying: "Bao Er's daughter-in-law has hanged, and her natal relatives are going to sue her."Sister Feng laughed and said, "That's good. I'm going to sue!"Lin Zhixiao's family said: "I persuaded them with everyone, threatened them for a while, and promised him some money, and I agreed."Sister Feng said, "I don't have any money!"Don't give money if you have money, just ask him to sue.It is also forbidden to persuade him, and there is no need to frighten him, just let him sue.If you can't tell him, ask him to blackmail him with a dead body!Lin Zhixiao's family was in a dilemma. Seeing Jia Lian winking with him, he understood, so he came out and waited.Jia Lian said, "I'll go out and have a look and see what's going on."Sister Feng said, "Don't give him money." As soon as Jia Lian came out, he came to discuss with Lin Zhixiao, and asked people to do good and evil, and promised two hundred taels to send it.Jia Lian was afraid that there would be a change in his life, so he ordered someone to talk to Wang Ziteng, and called several Fan servants, Zuoren and others, to help with the funeral.When those people saw this, even if they wanted to distinguish again, they didn't dare to distinguish, so they had to swallow their breath.Jia Lian also ordered Lin Zhixiao to put the two hundred silver coins into the fleeting account and make up for the expenses separately.And Tiji gave Bao Er some silver taels, and comforted him, saying, "I'll pick a good wife for you someday."Bao Er has face and money, so why not follow him, he still flatters Jia Lian, no problem. Inside, although Sister Feng was uneasy, she just pretended not to reason, because there was no one in the room, so La Pinger laughed and said, "I poured wine for the funeral yesterday. Don't be angry. Just hit there and let me see."Ping'er said: "I didn't hit hard either."All I could hear was: grandma and girl have come in.You need to know the end, and I will break it down next time.
