Dream of Red Mansions 曹雪芹 8337Words 2023-02-05
I played for a while.After resting without a meal, it was already dawn; without going out, I just called: "Come on doctor!"At that moment, Imperial Physician Wang came, checked the pulse, and said doubtfully: "I got better yesterday, how can I shrink from emptiness today, dare I eat too much food?"Otherwise, it would be a waste of time.Exogenous pathogenesis has been cleared away, and the loss of recuperation after sweating is no small matter.While speaking, he went out and came in with a prescription.When Baoyu looked at it, he had subtracted all the medicines for dispersing and expelling evil spirits, and added Poria cocos, rehmannia glutinosa, angelica and other medicines for nourishing the mind and blood.While Baoyu was busy ordering people to fry it, he sighed and said, "what's the matter with this?"If there is any good or bad, it is my sin.Qingwen slept on the pillow and said, "Good sir!"Go do what you do, you'll get consumption somewhere!

Baoyu had no choice but to go.In the second half of the day, he said he was not feeling well, so he came back.Although Qingwen's disease is severe, fortunately she is a hard worker; moreover, she has a light diet and is not hurt by hunger and fullness.The customs and secret methods in this Jia's house, no matter whether they are up or down, they only have a slight cold and cough, and they always focus on purifying hunger, and taking medicine for recuperation.Therefore, when I was ill the day before yesterday, I was hungry for two or three days, and took medicine carefully. Now, although I have worked a little bit, I have doubled my cultivation for a few days, and then I gradually recovered.Recently, the sisters in the garden all ate in their rooms, and it was convenient to cook and eat. Baoyu can change his own method and ask for soup or soup, so I don't need to go into details.

After the Xiren sent his mother to the funeral, she had already returned, and Sheyue told Ping'er about Song's mother Zhui'er, and Qingwen drove him out. She also told Baoyu and other words one by one.Xiren didn't say anything, only that he was too hasty.Just because Li Wan also catches a cold because of the weather, and Mrs. Xing is suffering from fire eyes again, the Spring Festival and Xiuyan all go to serve medicine day and night. Aunt Li's younger brother takes Aunt Li and Li Wen and Li Qi's house to live for a few days. Baoyu sees Xiren and often misses her mother. Sadly, Qingwen has not yet healed, so there are no people in the poetry club, so a few clubs are empty.

It's the twelfth lunar month now, and the year is approaching. Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng are managing the year.Prince Teng was promoted to the capital of the nine provinces, and Jia Yucun was awarded the chief minister, and he was an assistant military counselor to the government, not to mention. Let's talk about Jia Zhen's ancestral hall was opened, and people cleaned it, packed up the offering vessels, invited the gods, and cleaned the upper room in order to prepare the images of the remaining offerings.At this time, both inside and outside the Rong and Ning mansions are busy.On this day, Mrs. You in Ning's mansion was getting up with Jia Rong's wife to prepare needlework gifts for Jia's mother. At the same time, the girl came in with a tea tray to hold the New Year's Eve, and said: "Xing'er, go back to grandma, and the bag from before is broken." The gold is a total of one hundred and fifty-three taels, six cents and seven cents. The fineness of the inside varies, and a total of two hundred and twenty coins have been dumped.Said hand it up.Youshi looked at it, and saw that there were plum blossoms, begonias, pen ingots, and Babaolianchun.You Shi ordered: Put this away and tell him to hand in the silver key quickly.The maid agreed to go.

When Jia Zhen came in for dinner, Jia Rong's wife avoided him.Jia Zhenyin asked Youshi: "Have we received the reward for the Spring Festival?"Youshi said: "I sent Rong'er to prison today."Jia Zhen said: "Although our family doesn't wait for these few taels of silver, it's more or less the grace of the emperor."It was closed early, and I saw it for the old lady over there. I made an offering from my ancestors, and I received the emperor's favor on the top, and the blessings from my ancestors on the bottom.Even if we donate 10,000 silver to our ancestors, it is not as decent as this one, and we are blessed with kindness.Except for one or two families like ours, if those hereditary poor official families don't rely on this money, how can they make offerings for the New Year?The real emperor's grace is vast and thoughtful.You Shi said, "That's exactly what I said."

The two were talking, only to see someone come back: "My brother is here."Jia Zhen ordered: tell him to come in.I saw Jia Rong coming in with a small yellow cloth bag.Jia Zhen said, "Why did you go to this day?"Jia Rong replied with a smile: "I'm not in the Ministry of Rites today, but I'm in Guanglu Temple and Kushang. I got it because I went to Guanglu Temple again."The officials of Guanglu Temple all said that they would like to say hello to their father, and they really miss him after not seeing him for a long time.Jia Zhen smiled and said: They don't miss me.It's the end of the year again, and I'm either thinking about my things, or thinking about my play wine.On the one hand, look at the yellow cloth pocket. There is a seal on it, which is the four characters of Huang En Yongxi; Jia Yuan, the gift of the Eternal Spring Sacrifice consists of two points, and the net discount is a certain amount of silver. On a certain day, month, and day, Jia Rong, the alternate bodyguard of the Dragon Forbidden Commander, received it at the court. On the occasion of the year, someone from the temple, there is a red pen monogram on the bottom.

After eating and washing, Jia Zhen changed her boots and hats, and ordered Jia Rong to follow her with silver. She went back to Mrs. Jia Muwang, and then to this side, and went back to Mrs. Jia Shexing before going home and taking out Silver, ordered to burn the pockets in the furnace of the ancestral hall.He also ordered Jia Rong to say, "Go and ask your second aunt Lian if you have planned a day to invite New Year's wine in the first month."If it is drawn up, ask the study to clearly make a list, and when we invite you again, we will not be able to repeat the crime.I didn't pay attention to a few families last year, not to mention that we didn't pay attention, but it seems that the two houses have negotiated, and it's like sending false love for fear of trouble.Jia Rong hurriedly agreed.All of a sudden, the date list for inviting people to eat New Year's wine came.Jia Zhen saw it, and ordered Lai Sheng to see it, please don't worry about the above days.Because in the hall, I watched the boys carry the screen, wipe the table, and the gold and silver offerings.

I saw the young man holding a letter in his hand and an account, saying: Wuzhuangtou of Heishan village is here.Jia Zhen said: "This old beheaded man just came today."With that said, Jia Rong took the letter and accounts, and hurriedly opened them to hold them. Jia Zhen folded her hands behind her back and looked into Jia Rong's hand. The red letter read: Zhuangtou Wu Jinxiao at the door, please grandpa and grandma. Wanfu Jin'an, and Miss Jin'an, the son.In the new year, there is great joy and good fortune, prosperity and safety, increased officials and salary, and everything goes well.Jia Zhen said with a smile: "The Zhuang family has something interesting."Jia Rong also hurriedly laughed and said: Don't look at grammar, just take auspiciousness.While I was busy opening the list, I saw that it read: thirty big deer, fifty deer, fifty pigs, twenty Siamese pigs, twenty soup pigs, twenty dragon pigs, and twenty wild boars. , 20 domestic cured pigs, 20 wild sheep, 20 green sheep, 20 domestic soup sheep, 20 family style sheep, 2 sturgeon fish, 200 catties of miscellaneous fish, live chickens and ducks 200 geese, 200 geese, 200 chickens, ducks, and geese, 200 pairs of pheasants and rabbits, 20 pairs of bear paws, 20 catties of deer tendons, 50 catties of sea cucumbers, 50 deer tongues, and ox tongues Fifty pieces, 20 catties of dried razor clams, 2 bags each of hazelnut, pine, peach, and apricot flesh, 50 pairs of large prawns, 200 catties of dried shrimp, 1000 catties of high-grade silver frost charcoal, 2000 catties of medium, firewood 30,000 catties of charcoal, 2 stones of royal rouge rice, 50 dendrobiums of green glutinous rice, 50 dendrobiums of white glutinous rice, 50 dendrobiums of japonica rice, 50 dendrobiums of variegated rice, 1,000 stones of regular rice, and a cart of dried vegetables of various colors , takeaway grain, cattle and other items are worth 2,500 taels of silver.Filial piety to brothers and sisters under the outer door: two pairs of live deer, four pairs of live white rabbits, four pairs of black rabbits, two pairs of live golden pheasants, and two pairs of Western ducks.

Jia Zhen ordered: bring him in.For a while, Wu Jinxiao came in and kowtowed in the courtyard to pay his respects.Jia Zhen ordered someone to pull him up, and said with a smile: You are still tough.Wu Jinxiao replied with a smile: Thanks to the Lord, I can still walk.Jia Zhen said, "Your son is growing up too. You should just tell him to walk."Wu Jinxiao said with a smile: To tell you the truth, the little ones are used to walking around, and if they don't come, they will get bored.Aren't they all willing to come and see the world at the feet of the emperor?After all, they are young. They are afraid of mistakes on the road, and they can rest assured in a few years.Jia Zhen said, "How long have you been gone?"Wu Jin filial piety: If you go back to the master, it has snowed a lot this year, and the snow outside is four or five feet deep. The day before yesterday it suddenly warmed up, and the road was very difficult to walk.Although I have been away for a month and two days, because the days are limited, I am afraid that my father will be anxious, so I don't rush to come.Jia Zhen said, "I said, why did you come here today?"I just read the list, this year you old man is coming to the ring again.Wu Jinxiao hurriedly took two steps forward, and replied: Master Hui said that this year's harvest is really not good.From the beginning of March to August, it rained continuously until August, but there were not five days of sunshine in a row.In September, a hailstorm the size of a bowl covered an area of ​​nearly thirteen hundred miles, and injured tens of thousands of people, houses and livestock. That's why it happened.The little one didn't dare to lie.Jia Zhen frowned and said: "I've decided, you have at least five thousand taels of silver, what is this enough for?"Now you only have eight or nine Zhuangzi left in total. This year, drought and flood have been reported in two places, and you are fighting in the arena again. It is really telling you to say goodbye to the New Year.Wu Jin filial piety: This place is not bad!My brother is only more than a hundred miles away from me, who knows that there is a big difference.He is now in charge of the eight farms in the mansion, which are several times more than the master's. This year, there are only these things, but there are two or three thousand taels of silver more, and there will be famine.Jia Zhen said: "Exactly. I can do it here. There are no other major matters, but it's just a year's fee."If I benefit, I will spend more; if I suffer some grievances, I will save some.Besides, I usually have a thicker skin when I send someone away and invite someone every year.It's over if you save some.It can't be compared to that mansion. In the past few years, a lot of money has been added, which must be spent, but no money has been added.In the past two years, I have lost a lot of money. If I don't want it with you, who can I turn to?

Wu Jinxiao said with a smile: Although there are things in the mansion now, if they go and come, won't the empress and the long live Lord reward them?After hearing this, Jia Zhen smiled and said to Jia Rong, "Listen, are his words ridiculous?"Jia Rong waited hurriedly with a smile and said, "How do you people on the mountain col and the seaside know this truth?"Could it be that the empress gave us the emperor's treasury!Even if she had this heart in her heart, she could not make the decision.Is there any reason not to reward them? Arriving on time to the festival is nothing but colorful satin and antiques; even rewarding silver is only one hundred taels of gold, which is only worth one thousand taels of silver. What is enough for a year?In the past two years, which year did not pay a few thousand silver more!Visiting relatives in the first year, even building a garden, you can figure out how much you spent on that bet, and you will know.In another two years, if I save my relatives again, I'm afraid I will be poor.Jia Zhen said with a smile: "So their bankers are honest people, and they don't know what's going on inside."The yellow cedar wood used as a chime hammer looks decent on the outside but bitter on the inside.Jia Rong laughed again and said to Jia Zhen: "Miss Feng and Yuanyang have a secret discussion about stealing the old lady's things for money."Jia Zhen laughed and said, "That's your fault again, Miss Feng, where you are so poor."She must have seen that there were too many ways to go, and she really lost a lot of money. She didn't know which item to save money, so she came up with this method first, so that people would know that she was so poor.But I have an abacus in my heart, it's not like this.As he said that, he ordered someone to take Wu Jinxiao out to treat him well, no problem.

Here Jia Zhen ordered all the talents and things to be reserved for the ancestors, took some of them, and ordered Jia Rong to send them to Rongfu.Then I kept what I used at home, and the rest sent out other cases, piled one by one under the platform, and ordered people to call the nephews of the family and distribute them to them.Then Rongguo Mansion also sent a lot of offerings to the ancestors and things with Jia Zhen.Jia Zhen saw that the sacrificial utensils had been packed, she was wearing shoes and a lynx cat fur, and ordered someone to lay a big wolf fur mattress on the stone rock under the pillar of the hall in the sun. .Seeing that Jia Qin also came to pick up the things, Jia Zhen called him over and said, "What are you doing here?"Who told you to come?Jia Qin replied with lowered hands: I heard that the uncle asked us to pick up the things, so I came here without waiting for anyone to go.Jia Zhen said: "I originally gave these things to your little uncles and brothers who are idle and useless."You were idle for those two years, and I gave it to you.You are in charge of the mansion now, and you are in charge of the monks and Taoist priests in the family temple. You have an exception in January. The money for these monks has been passed from you. You are too greedy to take this!See for yourself, you dress like a man with money in his hands?You said you didn't benefit earlier, so what's the matter now?It's not like it was before.Jia Qin said: "There are many people in my family, and the expenses are high."Jia Zhen sneered and said, "You still fudge me."I don't know what you did in the family temple after looking at it!When you get there, you are naturally the master, and no one dares to disobey you.You have money in your hands, and you are far away from us, so you will become the king, recruit bandits to gamble every night, and raise your wife and children.With such an image now, do you still dare to bring something?If you can't get anything, just take a pack of water sticks.After the new year, I will tell your second uncle Lian to exchange it for you.Jia Qin blushed and dared not answer.Reply: Lord Shuiwang of Beifu sent a couplet and purse.When Jia Zhen heard about it, she hurriedly ordered Jia Rong to go out to treat her, and only said that I was not at home.Jia Rong went, here Jia Zhen drove Jia Qin away, watched after receiving the things, went back to the room to have dinner with Youshi, and had nothing to say all night.By the next day, I was busier than before, so I don't need to elaborate. It's the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, and all kinds of colors are ready. The door gods, couplets, and listings have been changed in both houses, and peach charms have been newly painted, giving them a brand new look.From the main gate, the Yimen, the hall, the warm pavilion, the inner hall, the inner three gates, the inner Yimen, and the inner plug gate to the main hall of Ningguo Mansion, the main gate is open all the way, and the steps on both sides are illuminated with vermilion high lamps, lighting up like two golden dragons.The next day, those who were appointed by Jia's mother all wore court clothes according to their grades. First, they sat in a sedan chair for eight people, and led everyone into the palace to congratulate and salute.All the disciples who did not follow into the dynasty all lined up in front of the gate of Ningfu to wait on them, and then led them into the ancestral hall. Let's say that Xue Baoqin was visiting Jia's Ancestral Hall for the first time, so he carefully looked at the ancestral hall. It turned out that there was another courtyard on the west side of Ningfu, with five gates inside the black oil fence. Shuyan Shenggong Kong Jizong's book.There is a long couplet on both sides, which reads: The liver and brain spread the ground, Zhao's surname depends on the kindness of conservation; It is also written by Shenggong.Entering the courtyard, there is a white stone path, with green pines and cypresses on both sides.There are green and green bronze Ding Yi and other utensils on the platform.There is a Kowloon gold plaque hanging in front of Baosha, which reads: Xinghui Prime Minister.It is the imperial pen of the first emperor.A couplet on both sides reads: The meritorious deeds are bright and the sun and the moon are bright, and the fame and fame continue to reach the children and grandchildren. All are imperial pens.In front of the five main halls, there is a green plaque filled with troubles and dragons, which reads: Be careful in the end and chase after the distance.A couplet next to it reads: His descendants have inherited Fude, and Li Shu has read Rongning to this day. It is also a royal pen.The incense candles inside are brilliant, and the brocade curtains are embroidered. Although the gods and masters are listed, they can't be seen clearly.I saw that the people of Jia's mansion were divided into Zhaomu and established: Jia Jing as the chief priest, Jia Amnesty as the accompanying sacrifice, Jia Zhen as the nobleman, Jia Lian and Jia Cong as the silk, Baoyu as the incense holder, Jiachang and Jia Ling as the worship blanket, and guarding the burning pond.Play music in Tsing Yi, present the lord three times, pay homage to Xing, burn silk and liberate wine, stop after ceremony, and quit.The crowd followed Jiamu to the main hall.In front of the film, brocade mantles are hung high, the color screen is protected, and the incense candles are brilliant.In the center hangs the portraits of Ning Rong's second ancestors, all of which are jade with python waists, and there are several axes of ancestors' remains on both sides. Jia Yun and Jia Zhi stood in sequence from Neiyi Gate to the corridor of the main hall.Outside the threshold are Jia Jing and Jia She, and inside the threshold are the female relatives.All the family members and servants are outside the Yimen.When each dish arrived, it was passed to Yimen, and Jia Yun, Jia Zhi, etc. took it, and passed it to Jia Jing on the steps one by one.Jia Rong is the grandson of the head of the house, and he is the only one with his wife in the sill.Every Jia worshiped the dish and passed it on to Jia Rong. Jia Rong passed it on to his wife, and then to Feng Sister You's family.Mrs. Wang passed it on to Jiamu, who held it on the table.Mrs. Xing stood on the west side of the altar, facing east, and she made offerings with Jia's mother.Until the dishes, rice, soup, wine and tea were passed on, Jia Rongfang withdrew, and the next rank was placed at the top of Jia Qin's rank.At that time, those who followed the name of the text were headed by Jia Jing; those who followed the jade were headed by Jia Zhen, and those who followed Caotou were headed by Jia Rong; , everyone knelt down together.There are five halls, three huts, inner and outer verandahs, and two danges on the upper and lower steps. There are clusters of flowers and no gaps.Crows and sparrows are unknown, only the sound of clanging and jingling, the slight swaying of golden bells and jade peepers, and the rustling of kneeling boots and shoes.At the end of the ceremony, Jia Jing, Jia Amnesty and others hurriedly withdrew, and went to Rongfu to wait and salute with Jia's mother. The floor of You's upper room has long been covered with red felt, and there is a big gilded enamel brazier along the elephant-nosed three-legged carp. There is also a burden of black fox fur on it, and a bed made of big white fox fur, and Jia Mu is invited to sit up.There are leather mattresses on both sides, so that two or three sisters-in-law of Jiamu's generation can sit.After the horizontal head row was inserted here, a leather mattress was also spread on the small kang, and Mrs. Xing waited to sit.On the twelve carved lacquer chairs facing each other on both sides of the ground, there are all squirrel chairs of the same color with small mattresses, and there is a large copper foot stove under each chair for Baoqin and other sisters to sit on.Youshi used tea trays to hold tea with Jiamu, and Rong's wife held tea with all the old grandmothers; then Youshi held tea with Mrs. Xing and so on, and Rong's wife held tea with all the sisters.Sister Feng, Li Wan, etc. are only waiting on the ground.After tea, Mrs. Xing and others got up first to serve Jia Mu.Jia Mu had tea and chatted with her grandmother for two or three words, and then she ordered to watch the sedan chair.Sister Feng hurried up to pull it up.You Shi replied with a smile: "The old lady's dinner has been prepared."Every year, I refuse to give some respect, and after dinner, we are not as good as Feng girl?Sister Feng helped Jia Mu with a smile and said, "Let's go, old ancestor. Let's go eat at home. Don't pay attention to her."Jia Mu laughed and said, "You are offering sacrifices to your ancestors. You are so busy. How can you stop me from making trouble!"Besides, if I don’t eat it every year, you have to give it away too.Why don't you send it away, I can't eat it, so I can save it for tomorrow, why don't I eat more?Everyone laughed.He also told her: It's not careless to send proper people to watch incense at night.Yushi agreed.As he walked out, he got into the sedan chair in front of the Nuan Pavilion.Youshi and others flashed across the screen, and then the servants led the bearers and invited the sedan chair out of the gate.Youshi also went to Rongfu with Mrs. Xing. Here the sedan chair goes out of the gate. On this street, on the east side, there are Ning Guogong's ceremonial deacon musical instruments; on the west side, Rong Guogong's ceremonial deacon musical instruments.When I came to Rongfu for a while, it was also the main hall of the gate, which opened straight to the end.Now I don't get off the sedan chair in Nuan Pavilion. After passing the hall, I turn west and get on and off the sedan chair in the main hall on Jiamu's side.Everyone surrounded and accompanied Jia Mu's main room, which was also a splendid screen with a new look.Pines, cypresses and lilies are burned in the local brazier.Mother Jia returned to sit, and the old mother went back and forth: the old ladies came to salute.Jia Mu hurriedly got up again to greet her, only to see two or three old sisters-in-law have come in.Everyone held hands and laughed once, and gave way once.After tea, Mother Jia only sent it to Neiyi Gate and then came back and returned to her seat.Jia Jing, Jia Amnesty and others led their children in.Jia Mu laughed and said, "One year's price is too much for you, just be rude."While talking, men and women together, all salute together.Chairs were set up on the left and right sides, and then returned to sit and receive the ceremony in order of seniority and youth.The men, women, servants, and maidservants of the two houses also saluted according to the duties of the upper, middle, and lower, scattered the old money, purses, gold and silver coins, and put on a feast of reunion.Men and women sat back to the west, offering Tusu wine, acacia soup, auspicious fruit, and wishful cakes. After Jiamu got up, she went into the inner room to change clothes, and everyone dispersed.That night, incense offerings were made in front of the Stove King in various Buddhist halls. In the courtyard of Mrs. Wang’s main house, incense offerings of heaven and earth paper and horses were set up. On the main gate of the Grand View Garden, there were also big bright corner lamps, which were illuminated on both sides, and there were street lights everywhere.The upper and lower people are all dressed up in colorful dresses, and there is a lot of people's voices, talking and laughing all night, and firecrackers are on fire, and there is an endless stream. At the fifth drum of the next day, Jia Mu and others made up again according to their products, and put all the deacons into the palace to congratulate and wish Yuanchun and Qianqiu.After receiving the banquet, he went to Ningfu to pay homage to the ancestors before returning.After receiving the ceremony, he changed his clothes and rested.All the relatives and friends who come to celebrate the festival will not know it. They only talk to Aunt Xue and Aunt Li for convenience, or play Go and play cards with Baoyu, Baoqin, Chai, Yu and other sisters.Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng are busy inviting people to have New Year's wine every day. There are theater wines in the hall and upper courtyard. There are endless streams of relatives and friends. It took seven or eight days to finish.It was early and the Lantern Festival was approaching, and the two mansions of Ningrong and Rong were decorated with lanterns and festoons.On the eleventh, Jia Amnesty invited Jia Mu to wait, and the next day Jia Zhen asked again, and Jia Mu went to pick it up for half a day.Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng were invited to have New Year's wine for several days, which is hard to remember. On the evening of the 15th, Mother Jia ordered a few tables of wine in the Dahua Hall, ordered a small show, hung all kinds of beautiful lights, and led the family banquets of the sons, nephews, grandchildren, and granddaughters-in-law of Rong and Ningfu.Jia Jingsu didn't like drinking, and he didn't go to invite him. On the seventeenth day, after the ancestral sacrifice was over, he went out of the city to cultivate; even these few days at home, he was still in a quiet room, and he was completely indifferent. .Jia Amnesty received Jia's mother's gift, so he left.Jia Mu knew that he was inconvenient here, so she let him go.When Jia She came home, he enjoyed the lanterns and wine with all the guests. Naturally, he was full of singing and singing, his eyes were full of beauty, and he was happy when he took it, which was different from here. There are a total of ten seats on the Jiamu Flower Hall here.There is a table next to each table, and there are three stoves and vases on the table, burning the imperial lily palace incense.There are also small bonsai that are eight inches long, four or five inches wide, and two or three inches high, lit with rocks and covered with moss, all of which are fresh flowers.There are also small foreign lacquer tea trays, with old kiln teacups and assorted small tea hangings inside, and the top-quality famous tea is brewed in them.All of them are red sandalwood openwork carvings, inlaid with wreaths of scarlet gauze embroidered flowers and cursive poetry.It turned out that the one who embroidered this necklace was also a woman from Gusu named Hui Niang.Because she is also from a family of scholarly eunuchs, he was originally good at calligraphy and painting, but occasionally embroidered one or two pieces of needlework for fun, which is not a commercial item.All the flowers embroidered on this screen are imitations of the folded flowers of famous artists in Tang, Song, Yuan, and Ming Dynasties, so the format and color matching are all elegant, and they are not comparable to the artisans who are blindly colorful.On the side of each flower, there are old sentences about this flower used by the ancients, or poems or songs, all of which are embroidered with cursive characters in black velvet. It's no better than city embroidered handwriting, the board is strong and hateful.She does not rely on this skill to make a profit, so although the world knows, there are very few people who get it, and there are many people who don't have this thing in the rich and noble families of all officials. Today it is called Huixiu.There are secular profit shooters who imitate their stitches recently, and fools profit.However, Hui Niang died at the age of eighteen, and now she can't get another one.Even if there are one or two pieces in all the houses, they are all treasured and used.There are those gentlemen of Hanlin literature and magic, because they deeply appreciate the beauty of Hui embroidery, they say that the embroidery cannot be perfect, and it seems abrupt to say that it is embroidered in such handwriting, so everyone discusses it, and hides the embroidery , Changed a pattern, so now it is called Huiwen.If there is an object with the pattern of true wisdom, the price is infinite.There are only two or three pieces of the glory of Jia's mansion. Last year, those two pieces were brought into the top, and now there is only this pair of necklaces, a total of sixteen pieces. Jia's mother's love is like a treasure. Stay on your side and enjoy the wine when you are happy.There are also various old kiln vases dotted with flowers and plants such as Suihan Sanyou Yutang Fugui. The two seats above are Aunt Li and Aunt Xue.On the east side, Jiamu set up a couch with short feet and short legs with openwork carved dragon screen, complete with backrest, lead pillow and leather mattress.At one end of the couch is a very light and light table with foreign lacquer and gold painting. On the table are tea hangers, tea bowls, gargling bowls, foreign towels, etc., and there is also a case for glasses.Jia Mu leaned on the couch, chatted and laughed with everyone, took her own glasses to take a picture on the stage, and smiled to Aunt Xue and Aunt Li: "Forgive me for being old and sore and presumptuous. Let me accompany you crookedly."He also ordered Amber to sit on the couch and beat her legs with the beauty's fist.There is no table under the couch, only a high table, but there are wreaths, vases, incense burners and other things.In addition, set up an exquisite small high table with wine cups, spoons and chopsticks. I set up my own seat beside the couch, and ordered Baoqin, Xiangyun, Daiyu, and Baoyu to sit there.Every dish and fruit came, first held it up with Jiamu to see, and Xi kept it on the small table, tasted it, and then put it on the table for four of them, only the four of them sat with Jiamu.Therefore, at the bottom are Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang, and then there are Youshi, Li Wan, Sister Feng, and Jia Rong's wives; all the way to the west are Baochai, Li Wen, Li Qi, Xiuyan, and Yingchun sisters. On the beams on both sides, there are a pair of three-point five-glass hibiscus and colorful tassel lights.In front of each table, there is a lacquer-dried upside-down lotus leaf with candle letters and colorful candles on the leaves.The lotus leaf is chiseled and enamel, and the letter can be twisted. Now the lotus leaf is twisted outward, forcing the shadow of the lamp, and it is fully illuminated outward, which is very real when watching a play.The panes and doors are removed together, and all kinds of palace lanterns are hung with colorful tassels.Inside and outside the corridor eaves and on both sides of the corridor canopy, all kinds of horns, glass, yarn, silk, or embroidery, or painting, or stacking, or cutting, or silk, or paper lamps are hung.The seats on the corridor are Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, Jia Huan, Jia Cong, Jia Rong, Jia Qin, Jia Yun, Jia Ling, Jia Chang and so on. Jia Mu also sent people to invite men and women from all the clans, but some of them were old and lazy to be busy; Those who are jealous of the rich and ashamed of the poor refuse to come; there are even those who are afraid of Sister Feng's character and are too angry to come; The one who came was Jia Zhu's mother, Lou Shi, who brought Jia Zhu here. There were only four men, Jia Qin, Jia Yun, Jia Chang, and Jia Ling, who were now working under Sister Feng's command.Although there are not all the people at present, in the small family banquet, it can be regarded as lively.
