It is said that everyone heard that Baoqin wrote ten nostalgic quatrains about the ancient sites in the provinces that Suyu passed by, with ten things hidden in them, and they all said: this is naturally new and ingenious.When everyone was scrambling to read it, they saw that it was written: One of Chibi's nostalgia is that the water does not flow when the Chibi is buried, leaving only names and surnames to carry the empty boat.Noisy and sad, the wind is cold, and the infinite heroic soul swims inside. Jiaozhi nostalgia for its two bronze cast Jin Yong Zhen Ji Gang, the sound spread overseas to Rong and Qiang.Ma Yuan has made a lot of contributions, and the iron flute has no trouble talking about the ovary.

Zhong Shan nostalgic about how his three fame and fortune were ever with you, and he was ordered out of the mortal world for no reason.The implication is probably inevitable, don't blame others for frequent ridicule. In Huaiyin nostalgia for the past, the four strong men must guard against bullying by vicious dogs, and the three of them are in the same position when the coffin is built.Don't be contemptuous of the secular world, and you will know the grace of a meal even if you die. Guangling is nostalgic for the past, where five cicadas and crows live. In a blink of an eye, what is the scenery of the Sui embankment?Just because of occupying the number of Merry, it provoked a lot of talk.

Taoye crosses nostalgia for the past, its six decaying grasses and idle flowers reflect the shallow pond, and the peach branches and leaves are always separated.There were so many Liang Dongs in the Six Dynasties, and Xiao Zhaokong hung the question on the wall. Qingzhong nostalgia for the past, its seven black waters are vast and swallowed, and the ice strings are plucked to exhaust the melancholy in the song.The system of the Han family is ashamed of sincerity, and Quercus japonica should be ashamed forever. Ma Wei nostalgic for the past is lonely, fat, stained and sweaty, and gentle once paid to the east.Just because of the traces of the wind, the quilt is still fragrant today.

Pudong Temple nostalgias that its nine little red bones are the youngest, and they are secretly brought together by force.Although he was hoisted by his wife, he has already seduced him to go with him. The view of plum blossoms is nostalgic for the ancient times. Ten of them are not by the plum blossoms but by the willows. Who picks up the paintings among them.Reunion Mo Yi Chunxiang arrives, farewell to the west wind for another year. When everyone saw it, they all said it was wonderful.Baochai first said: "The first eight capitals are based on historical records, but the last two are untested, and we don't know much about them. It is better to make two other ones."Daiyu hurriedly stopped her and said, "Sister Bao is also very coquettish and pretentious."Although these two poems have not been tested in the historical records, and although we have never read these rumors, we don’t know the bottom line. Could it be that we have not even seen the two operas?The three-year-old also knows, let alone us?Tanchun said, "That's exactly what you said."Li Wan said again: besides, she had been to this place before.Although there is no research on these two things, throughout the ages, false rumors have been passed on, and those who are good at it deliberately made this historic site to fool people.For example, when I went to Beijing that year, I saw Guan Fuzi's grave alone in three or four places.Guan Fuzi's life and career are all well-founded, so why are there so many graves?Naturally, later generations respected and loved him for what he was before he was alive. I'm afraid that some of them can be found out from this respect and love.As far as reading "Guang Yu Ji", not only Guan Fuzi has many graves, but also famous people since ancient times, there are many graves, and there are more unexamined historical sites.Although these two poems have not been tested, there are annotations for all storytelling and singing, and even the signatures of the begging. The old and young men and women, the colloquial sayings, everyone knows and speaks.Besides, I didn't read the lyrics and music of Peony in the West Chamber, because I was afraid of reading evil books.It doesn't matter, just keep it.Baochai heard that it was all right.Everyone guessed once, and they were all wrong.

The days are short in winter, and before you know it's time for dinner, we come to eat together.Because someone told Mrs. Wang: Xiren's brother Hua Zifang came in and said that his mother was seriously ill and missed her daughter.He came to ask for grace, and picked up others to go around.After hearing this, Mrs. Wang said, "If a mother and daughter are together, why don't you forbid her to go!"On the one hand, I called Sister Feng to come, told Sister Feng, and ordered her to handle it according to her discretion. Sister Feng agreed, and when she returned to her room, she ordered Zhou Rui's family to tell the reason for the attacker.He also told Zhou Rui's family: pass on another daughter-in-law who went out with her. The two of you, and two little maids, followed the attacker.Four elderly people were sent outside to follow the car.If you want a big cart, you can take it with you; if you want a small cart, let the girls sit.Zhou Rui's family agreed, and then they went. Sister Feng said again, "It's easy to attack people. You tell her what I say: tell him to wear some good-colored clothes, and take a big bag of clothes with him. The bag should also be well packed." Yes, the hand stove should also be taken.Before leaving, tell him to come first, and I'll take a look.Zhou Rui's family agreed to go.

Half a day later, I saw that the attacker was dressed, and the two girls and Zhou Rui's family were holding a stove and a clothes bag.Sister Feng saw that Xiren was wearing a few gold hairpins and pearls on his head, which was gorgeous; he also saw that he was wearing a pink silver mouse jacket with hundreds of flowers carved in silk, a light green plate and gold embroidered cotton skirt, and a blue satin squirrel jacket on the outside.Sister Feng laughed and said, "These three clothes belong to my wife. It's good to reward you; but this gown is too plain, and it's cold in it now. You should wear a big woolen one."Xiren laughed and said: My wife only gave this squirrel, and another ermine.It is said that I will give it to Da Mao after the next year, but I haven't got it yet.Sister Feng laughed and said, "I have a big hairy one. I think the windy hair is not good enough, so I'm going to change it."Well, I'll put it on for you first.I will give up when my wife makes it for you next year, just as if you returned it to me.Everyone laughed and said: Grandma is used to saying this.The grown-up family spent a lot of money on behalf of their wives without knowing how much they paid for them behind their backs. It was really hard to tell, so how could they count it with their wives?But now he said this petty talk to make fun of him.Sister Feng laughed and said, "Where can my wife expect these things?"After all, this is not a serious matter, and it is everyone's face to ignore it.It may be said that I have suffered some disadvantages and dressed everyone up decently, but I would rather have a good name.One by one, like burnt papers, people first laughed at me, saying that I was in charge of the house and made people out of trouble.After hearing this, everyone sighed and said: Who is as wise as grandma!He is considerate of his wife above, and cares for his servants below.On the one hand, she saw that Sister Feng ordered Ping'er to take out the eight-ball celestial horse leather jacket carved with stone and blue silk from yesterday, and gave it to Xiren.Looking at the bundles, I had only a bundle made of elastic ink flower satin and water red silk, which contained only two and a half old cotton-padded jackets and leather jackets.Sister Feng ordered Ping'er to take out a bundle of dolo wool in jade-colored silk, and ordered Ping'er to wrap it in a snow gown.

Ping'er went and took them out, one was a half-worn gorilla felt and the other was a half-worn scarlet feather yarn.Xi Rendao: I can't afford one thing.Ping'er laughed and said, "You take this orangutan felt."Take this piece out and ask someone to send it to Miss Xing.There was so much snow yesterday, everyone was wearing either orangutan felt, or feather satin and feather gauze. A dozen or so bright red clothes reflected the heavy snow, so untidy!Only she was wearing that old felt cloak, which made her shoulders hunched even more, which was pitiful.Give her this now. Sister Feng laughed and said, "He wants to give away my things privately."I can't spend enough on one, and it's even better if I add it to you!Everyone laughed and said: "This is all grandma's daily filial piety to her wife and love for her servants."If grandma was usually stingy, only caring about things and ignoring servants, how dare the girl be like this.Sister Feng laughed and said, "So the one who knows my heart is that she still knows three points."Then, he asked Xiren to say, "If your mother is better, let it go; if it's not useful, just stay and send someone back and forth, and I'll send someone else to send you the bedding."Don't make other people's bedding and combers.He also told Zhou Rui's family: You all know the rules here, so you don't need to ask me.Zhou Rui's family's promise: I know.Wherever we go, we always keep their people away.If you stay here, you must have one or two other inner rooms.Saying that, he went out with Xiren, ordered to prepare lanterns, and then drove to Hua Zifang's house, no problem.

Here, Sister Feng called two more nuns from Yihong Courtyard and said, "I'm afraid the attackers won't come home. You usually know those big girls. Which two know what's good and what's wrong? Send them out to spend the night in Baoyu's house." .You should also take care of it, don't let Baoyu mess around.The two nuns agreed to go, and said back and forth: Qingwen and Sheyue were sent in the house, and the four of us took turns leading the night.Sister Feng nodded after hearing this, and then said, "Use him to go to bed early at night and wake him up early in the morning."The old nuns agreed and went back to the garden.For a while, Zhou Rui's family brought a letter back to Sister Feng, saying: "The mother of the attacker has been bedridden and can't come back."Sister Feng went back to see Mrs. Wang, and went to the Grand View Garden to get her dowry.

Baoyu watched Qingwen and Sheyue get ready. After sending them off, Qingwen and Sheyue took off their makeup and changed their skirts and jackets.Qingwen just sat around on the smoked cage.Musk Moon smiled and said: Don't pretend to be a young lady today, I advise you to make a move too.Qingwen said: "When you are all gone, I will not be too late to move."One day with you, and one day for me.Musk Moon said with a smile: Good sister, I will make the bed, you put down the cover of the full-length mirror, and draw the boat on it, your stature is taller than mine.Then he went to make a bed with Baoyu.Qingwen snorted and said with a smile: "It's just sitting warm, so you come and make trouble."At this time, Baoyu was sitting wondering whether the mother of the attacker was dead or alive. When she heard Qingwen say this, she got up and went out by herself, put down the mirror cover, wrote a message, came in and smiled and said, "You guys are warm, it's all over."Qingwen smiled and said: "It won't be warm for a long time. I remembered that Mrs. Tang hasn't brought it yet."Musk Moon said: This is hard for you to think about!He doesn't want Mrs. Tang on weekdays. The warmth on our smoked cage is not as cold as the kang in the house, so he doesn't need it today.Baoyu laughed and said, "So, both of you fell asleep on it. I have no one outside. I'm so scared that I can't sleep all night."Qingwen said: "I slept here."Tell Musk Moon to sleep outside of you.While talking, the sky has already changed, Musk Moon has already put down the curtain, moved the lamp and incense, and waited on Baoyu to lie down, so that they could sleep.

Qingwen is on the smoked cage, and Musk Moon is outside the Nuan Pavilion.After the third watch, Baoyu called Xiren in his sleep.He yelled twice, but no one answered, he woke up, only to realize that Xiren was not at home, so he laughed too.Qingwen was already awake, and she called Sheyue with a smile and said: "Even I am awake, and she doesn't know that she is standing by the side. She is really a dead body."Musk Moon turned over and let out a sigh, and said with a smile: "He is called Xiren, what has nothing to do with me!"Because I asked: What do you do?Baoyu said: "I want tea."Musk Moon got busy, wearing only a small red silk padded jacket.Baoyu said, "Put on my jacket before going, and be careful in the cold."When Musk Moon heard about it, she turned back and put Baoyu on a warm jacket with a sable chin and full collar that she wore at night, went down to wash her hands in the basin, poured warm water for a minute, took a big gargle, and Baoyu took a sip , Then I took the tea bowl from the tea set, rinsed it with warm water first, poured half a bowl of tea into the thermos, and passed it to Baoyu to eat; I also rinsed and ate half a bowl.Qingwen laughed and said, "Good sister, give me a bite too."Musk Moon laughed and said: "It's getting more and more face-saving!"Qingwen said: "Good sister, don't move tomorrow night, I will serve you all night, how about it?"When Musk Moon heard about it, she had to serve him to rinse his mouth, and poured half a bowl of tea for him to eat.Musk Moon said with a smile: You two don't sleep, talk, I'll go out and walk back.Qingwen laughed and said: There is a ghost waiting for you outside!Baoyu said: "Naturally there is a big moon outside. We talk, you just go."While speaking, he coughed twice.

Musk Moon opened the back door and lifted the felt curtain to see that it was indeed full of moonlight.Qingwen waited for him to go out, so she wanted to play with her.Relying on being stronger than others on weekdays, not afraid of the cold, and wearing only a small jacket, he tiptoed out of the smoker cage and then came out.Baoyu persuaded with a smile: "Look, it's frozen, it's not for playing."Qingwen just waved her hand, and then went out of the room.I saw the moonlight like water, and there was a sudden gust of wind, and I felt that it penetrated my muscles and bones, and I couldn't help feeling hairy.I thought to myself: "It's strange that the Taoist said that the warm body should not be blown by the wind. This coldness is indeed very harmful."As he was about to frighten Sheyue, Baoyu said loudly inside: "Qingwen has gone out!"Qingwen hurriedly turned around and came in, and said with a smile: "Where did you scare her to death?"But you are used to this scorpion stinging like a wife!Baoyu laughed and said, "It's not to frighten her. The first thing is that it's not good to freeze you. The second is that she can't guard against it, so she can't help shouting. If she wakes up others, she doesn't say we are a joke, but says that she is going to attack people." After one night, you will see gods and ghosts.You come to tuck my side.When Qingwen heard about it, she came up and tucked it in. When she stretched her hand in for a while, Baoyu laughed and said, "What a cold hand!"I said it was freezing.On the one hand, I saw Qingwen's cheeks were like rouge, and she felt cold when she touched her with her hand.Baoyu said, "Come on and be warmed up." Before saying a word, there was a knock on the door, and Sheyue came in with a flustered smile, and said: I was shocked.In the black shadow, behind Shanzishi, I saw a person squatting.I was about to shout, it turned out to be a big golden pheasant, and when I saw someone, I saw it for real as soon as it flew into the light.If you shout rashly, you will make trouble.While talking, wash your hands.He smiled again: "Why didn't I see Qingwen when she went out?"It must be bluffing me.Baoyu laughed and said, "It's not her, it's here!"If I don't bark fast, I'll scare you.Qingwen smiled and said: "I don't need to scare you, this little hoof is already surprised."On the one hand, he said that on the other hand, he still said that he was hit.Musk Moon said: You just run like a horse and go out dressed smartly, can't you?Baoyu laughed and said, "Why don't you just go out like this."Musk Moon said: You don't choose a good day!You go out and stand for a while, and the skin will not freeze and break your skin.Then, he lifted the copper cover on the brazier, buried the cooked charcoal heavily with a gray shovel, picked up two pieces of plain incense and put it on, and it was still covered. After reaching the screen, he switched on the lamp again, and just fell asleep . Qingwen sneezed twice because she was cold just now and now she was warm again.Baoyu sighed, "How?"It's windy after all.Musk Moon said with a smile: He woke up early and complained that it was not useful, and he didn't eat all day.Now she still said to take care of herself and play tricks on people.Tomorrow is sick, let her suffer on her own!Baoyu asked, "Is it hot on the head?"Qingwen coughed twice, and said: "It's irrelevant, why are you so delicate!"As she spoke, she only heard the chiming bell on the ten brocade grid in the outer room chime twice, and the old woman on duty in the outer room coughed twice, because she said: "Girls, go to bed, let's talk about it tomorrow."Baoyufang smiled quietly and said, "Let's stop talking and provoke them to talk again."With that said, everyone fell asleep. When she woke up the next day, Qingwen really felt a little stuffy and her voice was heavy, and she was lazy to move.Baoyu said, "Hurry up and keep quiet!"The wife knew about it, and told you to move to rest.Even if it's colder at home, it's better to be here.You just lie down in the inner room, I have someone invite a doctor, and just quietly come to have a look through the back door.Qingwen said: "Even so, you have to tell grandma; otherwise, when the doctor comes and people ask, what should I say?"Baoyu heard that it made sense, so he called an old mother and said, "Go back to your grandmother and say that Qingwen is cold in vain, and it's not a serious illness."Xiren is not at home, if she goes home to recuperate, there will be no one here.Tell a doctor to come in quietly through the back door to have a look, don't go back to your wife.The old mother went there for half a day, and said back and forth: Grandma knows, and said: Take two doses of medicine and you'll be fine. If it's not good, it's better to go out.Now that the weather is bad, it's not a big deal to be contaminated by others, but the girls' bodies are more important.Qingwen was sleeping in the Nuan Pavilion, just coughing, and when she heard this, she shouted angrily: Where did I get plague?I'm afraid of passing people!I'm leaving here, and I hope you don't have a headache for the rest of your life.As he spoke, he really wanted to get up.Baoyu hurriedly pressed her and said with a smile, "don't be angry. It was her responsibility. I'm afraid my wife will tell her about her."But for nothing.You are used to being angry, and now you are naturally angry again. As he was speaking, the person replied: The doctor is here.Baoyu came over and hid behind the bookshelf.I saw two or three old mothers at the back door bringing in a doctor.The maids here avoided it.Three or four old nuns put down the big red embroidered curtain on the Nuan Pavilion, and Qingwen stretched out her hand from the curtain.The doctor saw that there were two nails on this hand, which were three inches long, and there were still red traces of the golden phoenix flower, so he hurriedly turned his head.An old nun hurriedly took a handkerchief to cover it up.The doctor took a pulse check, got up and went outside, and said to the nurses: "Miss's disease is caused by external factors and internal stagnation. Recently, I have a bad breath, and it is actually a small typhoid fever."Fortunately, I am a young lady, my diet is limited on weekdays, and the wind and cold are not too great, but it is due to my weak blood energy, and I accidentally got a little bit of it, just take two doses of medicine to disperse and disperse.Then he went out with the women again. At that time, Li Wan had already sent people to inform the people on the back door and the servant girls everywhere to avoid them. The doctor only saw the scenery in the garden, but never saw a woman.After leaving the garden gate for a while, I sat in the classroom of the boys guarding the garden gate and prescribed medicine.The old mother said: "Master, please don't go. Our young master is talking too much. I'm afraid I have something to ask."The doctor hurriedly said: "I'm not a lady just now, but a master?"That room is like an embroidery room, and the curtain was lowered. How can it be a master?The old mother smiled softly and said: "My lord, it's strange that the boys said that a new doctor was invited today. I really don't know about our family."That room belongs to our little brother, and that person is the girl in his room, but she is a big sister, where is the young lady!If it's Miss's embroidery room, and Miss is sick, you can go in so easily?Said, took the prescription and went in. When Baoyu looked at it, there were perilla, platycodon, fangfeng, nepeta and other medicines on it, and citrus aurantium and ephedra on the back.Baoyu said, "Damn it, damn it!"He takes the girls and treats them like us, how to make it!Based on his internal stagnation, how can this Citrus aurantium and ephedra be forbidden!Who invited it?Send him away!Invite another familiar one.The old woman said: We don't know if the medicine is good or not.Now it would be easy to ask the boy to invite Doctor Wang, but the doctor didn't tell the house manager to hire him, he was going to give him the money for the sedan chair.Baoyu said, "How much will you give him?"The mother-in-law said: "It doesn't look good if you don't have it, but you also need a tael of silver, which is the gift of our family."Baoyu said: "How much will the doctor Wang give him when he comes?"The mother-in-law laughed and said: Doctor Wang and Doctor Zhang often come here, and none of them give money, but it is a certain annual rule that large groups of people give gifts every four festivals.This person is new here, so I have to give him a tael of silver. When Baoyu heard about it, he ordered Sheyue to fetch the silver.Musk Moon said: "I don't know where Sister Hua put it?"Baoyu said, "I often see her withdrawing money from the small cabinet in Luodian. I'll find it with you."Saying that, the two of them came to the room where Baoyu piled things, and opened the Luodian cabinet. The first box was filled with pens and inks, fans, incense cakes, various purses, sweat towels, etc.; string money.So I opened the drawer, only to see a few pieces of silver in a small dustpan, but there was also a handful of coins.Sheyue took a piece of silver, raised the pin and asked Baoyu, "Where is the one-two star?"Baoyu laughed and said, "You ask me?"Interesting, you just came here.Musk Moon also laughed, and went to ask someone again.Baoyu said, "Just pick the big one and give him a piece."If you don't do business, what are you doing!After hearing this, Musk Moon put down the chopsticks, picked a piece, weighed it, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid this piece is only one or two pieces."It's better to have more than less, to make the poor boy laugh, not to say that we don't know how to make money, but to say that we are stingy.The old lady stood on the platform outside and laughed, "That's half of the five taels of spindle, and there are at least two taels of this piece!"Now there is no cutting, so the girl takes this piece and chooses a smaller one.Musk Moon had already covered the cabinet and came out, and said with a smile: Who will look for it again!If there is more, you can take it.Baoyu said: "You just call Mingyan and invite Dr. Wang to go."The mother-in-law took the silver and went to cook by herself. For a while, Ming Yanguo invited Doctor Wang to come.I checked the pulse first, and then said that the symptoms were similar to the previous ones, except that there were no medicines such as Citrus aurantium and ephedra in the prescription, but there were medicines such as angelica, tangerine peel, and white peony root, and the weight was reduced a little earlier.Baoyu said happily, "This is the medicine for the girls. Although they are evacuated, they should not be too much."Last year I was sick, but it was typhoid fever, and my diet was stagnant inside. He looked at it and said that I couldn't resist ephedra, gypsum, citrus aurantium and other wolf-hugger medicines.Comparing me with you, I am like an old poplar tree that has grown for decades in the field cemetery, and you are like the white crabapple that just bloomed when Yuner came to me in autumn.How can you resist the medicine that I can't stand?Musk Moon and others laughed and said, "Is there only poplar in the wild grave?"Is there no pines and cypresses?What I dislike most is the poplar tree, which is so stupid, with only a few leaves, and it makes noise without a breath of wind.You compare it to it, and it's too nasty.Baoyu laughed and said, "I dare not compare pines and cypresses."Even Confucius said: When the season is cold, the pines and cypresses will wither after they know it.It can be seen that these two things are elegant, so I am not ashamed to compare them. As he spoke, the old woman took the medicine.Baoyu ordered to find out the silver diapers for decocting the medicine, and ordered to fry them on the brazier.Qingwen said, "seriously fry them in the tea room. How can I make the medicine gas in this room?"Baoyu said: "The smell of medicine is more elegant than all the fragrances of flowers and fruits."Immortals collect herbs and burn them, and high-ranking Yishi collect herbs to treat them, which is the most wonderful thing.In this room, I was thinking that all the colors are in order, only the medicinal fragrance is missing, and now it happens to be all.On the one hand, he ordered people to simmer on the other hand.He also asked Musk Moon to pack something, sent the old mother to see Xiren, and advised him not to cry.One by one, Fang Guo came to Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang to ask for dinner. At the same time, Sister Feng was discussing with Mrs. Jia Muwang and said: "The weather is short and cold. It's better for my sister-in-law to take the girls to eat in the garden in the future; when the weather is warmer, it's okay to run back and forth."Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "This is also a good idea. It's cheaper when it's windy and snowy."It's not good to eat something and suffer from the cold air; it's not good to put something on it when you walk empty-handed and feel the cold wind in your stomach.It's not as good as the five big houses in the back garden gate. There are women going to night anyway, and two cook women are picked there to cook meals for her sisters.There are special rules for fresh vegetables, and they are sent to the manager's room, either for money or for things; for those pheasants, deer, and all kinds of game, just give them some.Jia Mu said, "I'm thinking about it too. I'm afraid it will be more troublesome to add another kitchen."Sister Feng said: "It's not much."For the same example, here is added, and there is subtracted.Just a little more trouble, the little girls are cold and cold, others are okay, how can the first Lin sister stand it?Even Brother Bao couldn't help it, let alone all the girls!Jia Mu said, "That's exactly what I said."Last time I wanted to say this, I saw that you have too many important things, and now you have added these things to understand, and I will break them down next time.
