Chapter 58 Chapter 58: Apricot's Yin, Fake Phoenix Weeps, Emptiness, Phoenix, and Qian's Screen Window

It is said that the three of them hurriedly covered up the words because they saw Tanchun and others coming in.Tanchun and others greeted each other, and everyone chatted and laughed for a while before they dispersed. Unexpectedly, the old concubine whom I showed you last time has passed away, and all the imperial concubines are sent to the royal class, and they are kept according to the system of nobility.An imperial decree to the world: all noble families are not allowed to have banquets and music for one year, and common people are not allowed to marry for three months.Jia's mother, Xing, Wang, You, Xu's mother-in-law, grandson, grandson, etc. all went to the court every day for sacrifices, and did not return until they were upright.After 21 days in the side palace of Da Nei, Fang invites the spirit to enter the Xianling, the place name is Xiaoci County.It took more than ten days for the mausoleum to travel to and from the capital. Now that the spirit is here, it will be parked for several days before entering the underground palace, so it has a moonlight.Jiazhen and his wife in Ningfu must go there.There is no one in the two prefectures, so everyone discusses, there is no owner in the family, and everyone discusses it, so they report You's birth and move her out to assist Rong and Ning in the two affairs.Because she entrusted Aunt Xue to take care of her sister and maid in the garden.Aunt Xue had to move into the garden too.Because there are Xiangyun and Xiangling in Baochai's place; Li Wan's place is where Aunt Li and her daughter are gone, but sometimes they come to live for three or five days, and Jia's mother sends Baoqin to her to take care of; Smoke; Tanchun is very inconvenient because of the tedious housework, and Aunt Zhao and Jia Huan come to make noise from time to time; Xichun's house is small; Those who love her, now that this happens by chance, they move to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion to share the same room with Daiyu, and they are very careful about eating and drinking the medicine bait.Daiyu couldn't help but feel grateful, and from now on she would call Baochai like Baochai, even Baochai would call her sister, and Baoqin would call her younger sister, as if her compatriots came out together, more cordial than others.Seeing this, Jia's mother was also very happy and relieved.Aunt Xue just took care of her sisters, and she was so forbidden to make appointments with girls, and she would not talk too much about family affairs.Although You Shi came here every day, she was just a name-caller, and she was unwilling to be pretentious, and she was the only one left to take care of her family. Besides, she had to take care of Mrs. Jia's wife every day. It is also very laborious to lay things out for drinking and food.

At present, the masters of Rong and Ning are so overwhelmed, and the two deacons, some who follow into the court, some who go out to take care of the affairs of the subordinates, and some who step on the subordinates first, are also in a hurry.As a result, the servants of the two places had no serious clues, and they also secretly settled down, or formed a party by taking advantage of the gap, and cheated on Weifu with the temporary deacon.Only Lai Da and a few stewards were left in Rongfu to take care of foreign affairs.The few people who are often used by Lai Da's subordinates have gone. Although other people have been appointed, they are all freshmen, and I just feel that it is not easy.Moreover, they are ignorant, or cheat without integrity, or sue without evidence, or recommend without reason, all kinds of bad things are happening, and it is difficult to prepare them.

I also saw that all the officials and eunuchs who raised actors and actresses were exempted from sending them away. You and others agreed that when Mrs. Wang returned home and returned to Ming Dynasty, she also wanted to send twelve girls, and said, "These people were originally bought." Even if you don't learn to sing now, you can keep it at your disposal as much as possible, and just let the teachers go by themselves.Mrs. Wang said: "These opera learners are better than those who can't be used. They are also the children of a good family. Because of their incompetence, they have been sold to do this. They have been pretending to be ugly for several years. Now that they have this opportunity, it is better to give them a few taels of silver." Fei, go your own way.The ancestors had this case in their hands back then.We are corrupt now, and we are still petty.Although there are a few old ones still there, they have their own reasons and are unwilling to go back, so they stay and serve as servants of our family when they grow up.Youshi said: "Now we're going to ask her twelve, and if anyone is willing to go back, we will bring a letter and call her parents to come and get it back in person, and give them a few taels of silver to wrap up. That's all right."If you don't call her parents and relatives, I'm afraid some bastards will take her out under the name of others and resell them. Wouldn't it be a disappointment to this grace!If anyone doesn't want to go back, stay.Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "That's right."

You Shi and others sent someone to tell Sister Feng.On the one hand, in the room with the Prime Minister, eight taels of silver are given to each teacher, so that he can take care of himself.Every object in Lixiangyuan should be checked and registered, and sent to the night.We called the twelve girls to ask them face to face, but more than half of them were unwilling to go home: some said that even though their parents existed, they only wanted to sell us, and they were sold by him after this trip; Those sold by uncles and brothers; some said that no one could vote;There are only four or five people who wish to go.

After listening to Mrs. Wang, she had to stay.Four or five people who will go will ask their godmothers to take them home, and wait for her parents to come to pick them up; they will scatter those who don't want to go in the garden.Jiamu left the civil officials to do her own thing, referring Zhengdan Fang to Baoyu, Xiaodan Rui to Baochai, Xiaosheng Ouguan to Daiyu, Dahuamiankui to Xiangyun, and Xiaohua to Xiangyun. Mian Dou Guan sent Baoqin, and Ai Guan, a foreigner, to Tanchun, and Youshi begged Lao Dan Ke Guan to go.Now everyone is in their place, just like a tired bird out of the cage, playing in the garden every day.Everyone knows that they can't needle and are not used to it, so they don't blame them much.There may be one or two governors among them, worrying that they will not have the skills to meet the times in the future, they also throw away their skills and learn how to do things like needlework and spinning.

One day it was the Great Sacrifice of the court, so Jia Mu went to wait for the fifth watch. First, she went to the lower place to have some snacks, and then entered the court.After breakfast, you will retreat to the lower place; after breakfast, take a short rest, and then return to the court;Coincidentally, this place is the family temple of a high-ranking official, which was burnt and repaired by a bhikkhuni. There are many and clean houses.For the east and west courtyards, the Rong Mansion rented the East Courtyard, and the Beijing Prince's Mansion rented the West Courtyard.The concubine and the concubine have a banquet every day. They see Jia's mother waiting in the east courtyard, going in and out with each other, and they all take care of them.There is no need to elaborate on the details outside.

In addition, in the Grand View Garden, because Jiamu and Mrs. Wang are not at home every day, and they send their spirits to return in January, all the maids and mothers-in-law have free time to play in the garden.All the women who served in the Lixiang courtyard were withdrawn and scattered in the garden to listen to the emissaries. I felt that there were dozens more people in the garden.Because civil servants and other people are arrogant, or rely on power to dominate, or pick clothes and food, or have sharp quarrels, there are probably many restless and reasonable people.Therefore, all the women complained, but they dared not share their certificates with them.Now that school is over, everyone said their vows, some of them threw away their hands, and some were narrow-minded, still nostalgic and resentful, because they divided everyone under the name of each room, and dared not come and invade.

Coincidentally, this day is the Qingming day, and Jia Lian has prepared the next year's sacrificial offerings. He leads Jia Huan, Jia Cong, and Jia Lan to Tiekan Temple to sacrifice the coffin and burn paper.Jia Rong of Ningfu also went to the same clan to hold sacrifices.Because Baoyu was not healed, he never went to get it.Tired after dinner, Xiren said: "The weather is very good, you go out for a stroll, so as not to fall asleep after leaving the porridge bowl, keep it in your heart."When Baoyu heard about it, he had to lean on a stick and walk out of the hospital with his shoes on.Recently, the garden has been distributed to all the women for cooking, and when they are busy, there are also those who repair bamboo, those who plant trees, those who plant flowers, and those who grow beans, and there are women who drive in the pool. The kind of lotus root with mud on the boat.Xiangling, Xiangyun, Baoqin and some servant girls are all sitting on the rocks, watching them for fun.Baoyu also walked slowly.When Xiangyun saw him coming, he laughed quickly and said: Hurry up and send this boat out, they are picking up Sister Lin.Everyone laughed.Baoyu blushed and said with a smile: "Who is kind to someone else's illness!"You also describe it as a joke.Xiangyun said with a smile: "The disease is also different from other people's. It's a joke, but it's a human being."Saying this, Baoyu also sat down and watched the crowd bustle for a while.Xiangyun said, "it's windy here, and it's cold on the rocks. Just sit down."

Baoyu was also going to see Lin Daiyu, so she got up and leaned on crutches, said goodbye to them, and came from the embankment near Qinfang Bridge.I saw willows hanging golden threads, peaches spouting red clouds, behind the rocks, a big apricot tree, the flowers have all fallen, the leaves are thick and green, and many small apricots the size of beans have grown on it.Baoyu thought to himself: "I can be sick for a few days, but I have failed Xinghua!"Unconsciously, the branches are full of green leaves and shades!Therefore, looking up at Kyoko reluctantly.I also remembered that Xing Xiuyan had chosen a husband and son-in-law. Although it was an important matter for men and women, it was necessary, but it was inevitable that another good daughter would be lost.But in two years, it will be full of green leaves and shade.In a few days, the apricot tree will be empty of branches, and in a few years, Xiuyan will have black hair like silver, and her face will look haggard.While lamenting, suddenly a sparrow flew over and landed on a branch, singing wildly.Baoyu became dazed again, and thought to himself: This bird must have been here when the apricot blossoms were in full bloom, but now there are no flowers and only cotyledons, so they are also singing wildly.This rhyme must be the sound of crying, but I hate that Gongye is not in front of me, so I can't ask him.But I don't know when it will be released next year, does this bird still remember to fly here to spend a while with Xinghua?

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw a burst of flames emanating from the rocks, which startled the sparrow into the air.Baoyu was shocked, and heard someone shouting: "Ou Guan, you are going to die!"How to get some paper money in and burn it?I'll go back to my grandmas, take care of your meat!When Baoyu heard this, he became more and more puzzled. When he hurriedly turned to the rocks to look, he saw the lotus root official squatting there with tears on his face, still holding a fire in his hand, guarding some paper money ashes for mourning.Baoyu hurriedly asked: "Who do you burn paper money with?"Don't burn it here.You are either a parent or a brother, you tell me my name and surname, and go outside to ask the boys to pack the burden and write their names and surnames to burn.When the lotus official saw Baoyu, he just didn't make a sound.Baoyu asked a few questions but didn't answer, and suddenly saw a woman coming to pull the lotus root official bitterly, and said in her mouth, "I have already returned to my grandma, and the grandma is very angry."After hearing this, the lotus official was childish in the end, and refused to go for fear of being humiliated and shameless.The mother-in-law said: "I said, don't get too excited, it's better than you messing around outside as you please!"This is where size comes in.Pointing to Baoyu, he said: "Even our master still obeys the rules. What kind of thing are you? You come here to make trouble!"I'm afraid it won't work, just follow me!Baoyu hurriedly said: "She didn't burn the paper money. It was Sister Lin who asked her to burn the rotten paper."You didn't see the truth, and you sued her by mistake.

Ouguan was losing his mind, and when he saw Baoyu, he was also afraid; suddenly hearing him cover up, his heart turned from worry to joy, so he said stiffly, "Do you really think it's paper money?"What I burned was Miss Lin's bad writing paper!Hearing this, the old woman also became ruthless, bent down to pick up the unmelted leftover paper from the paper ashes, picked up two points in her hand, and said: "Are you still stubborn?Well documented here.I'm only talking to your boss!As he spoke, he pulled up his sleeves and tugged to leave.Baoyu quickly grabbed the lotus root official, knocked the woman's hand away with a stick, and said, "Just take that back."Let me tell you the truth: I had a dream last night. I dreamed that the God of Xinghua and I wanted a piece of paper money. Don’t ask my housemate to burn it. If you ask a stranger to burn it for me, my illness will recover quickly.So I asked for the white money, Babaer's Miss He Lin bothered her to come, and burned my blessings for me.No one was allowed to know, that's why I got up today, but you saw it.I'm not feeling well right now, it's all because of you!Are you going to sue her?Lotus root officer, just go, and when you see them, just follow my advice.When the old lady came back, I said that she deliberately came to attack the gods, and bless me to die early.After hearing this, the lotus official got more and more ideas, and instead pulled the mother-in-law to leave.After hearing this, the old woman hurriedly dropped the paper money to laugh with her, and begged Baoyu to say, "I didn't know. If the second master returned to the old lady, wouldn't my old lady be finished?"Now when I go back to my grandmas, I say that it is the father offering sacrifices to the gods, but I was wrong.Baoyu said, "You are not allowed to go back, so I won't say anything."The mother-in-law said, "I've already gone back. Ask me to bring him. Why don't I go back?"Well, let’s say I’ve already been called, and Miss Lin called me away again.Baoyu thought about it, and Fang nodded in agreement.The old woman had to go. Here Baoyu asked the lotus official carefully: Who is burning the paper for?I think, if you are your parents and brothers, you have all burnt them outside, so there must be a private reason for burning these few photos here.Ouguan was grateful for his protection just now, and knew that he was a first-class person, so he said with tears: "There is no third person in my matter except Fangguan in your room and Miss Bao's Ruiguan." Know.I was met by you today, and I have this meaning again, I have to tell you, but I am not allowed to speak to others.He cried again: "It's not convenient for me to talk to you face to face. You just go back and ask Fang Guan behind the back. You will know."After finishing speaking, pretend to go away. When Baoyu heard this, she was puzzled, so she had to walk to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. Seeing that Daiyu was getting thinner and pitiful, when she asked, she was getting bigger than before.Seeing that he was also much thinner than before, Daiyu shed tears when she thought of the past. After a little talk, she urged Baoyu to rest and recuperate.Baoyu had to come back.Because I was worried about asking Fangguan what happened, Xiangyun and Xiangling came and were joking with Xiren and Fangguan. For a while, Fangguan followed her godmother to wash her hair.Her godmother asked her own daughter to wash it first, and then asked Fang Guan to wash it.Seeing this, Fangguan said he was biased and gave me your daughter's leftover water to wash.You hold my monthly money for a month, and you don't count on my favor, but give me the leftovers.His godmother became ashamed and annoyed, so he scolded her: I don't know what to praise!No wonder everyone said that no actor is easy to mess with.No matter what kind of person you are, if you enter this line of business, you will be ruined.This bit of a cunt bastard is also picky, salty talk, like a mule biting a group!The two girls quarreled. The attacker hurriedly sent someone to say: "Stop shouting!"Seeing that the old lady was not at home, they didn't even say a quiet word.Qing Wenyin said: "It's all Fang officials who are out of their minds and don't know what they are crazy about!"It's just two plays, it's like killing the king of thieves and capturing the rebels!Xi Ren said: A slap can't be slapped, the old ones are too unfair, and the young ones are too hateful.Baoyu said, "I can't blame Fang Guan."Since ancient times, it has been said: if things are uneven, there will be noise.She lost her relatives and lost her family, and no one took care of her here, which made her money.It's no wonder that he made a fool of him again.Yin asked the attacker again: How much does she have a month?Wouldn't it be easier for you to take her over and take care of her in the future?Attacker said: I want to take care of her, why can't I take care of her, and how much money do I need to take care of her?No need to be scolded!Then he got up and went to the room, took a bottle of dew oil, and some chicken eggs, soap, headbands, etc., and asked a woman to come and give it to Fang Guan, and told her to wash herself with water, so don't make any noise. up. Her godmother became more and more ashamed, so she said that Fangguan had no heart, and that I would withhold your money, so she patted her a few times, and Fangguan began to cry.Then Baoyu went out, and the attacker hurriedly persuaded him, "What are you doing?"I will tell her.Qingwen hurriedly came over first, pointed to her godmother and said: You old man is too troublesome!You don't give her something to wash her hair, we give her something, you are not ashamed, and you have the guts to beat her!If she is still learning art at school, how dare you beat her?The old woman said, "I am a mother for a day, and I am a mother for the rest of my life."If she plays me up, I can fight! Xiren called Sheyue and said, "I don't know how to quarrel with others. Qingwen is too impatient. Go over and scare him."After hearing this, Musk Moon hurried over and said, "Don't shout."Let me ask you, don't talk about our place, look at the whole garden, who taught the daughter in the master's house?It's your own daughter, since the house is divided, she has a master, and her own master beats and scolds her; moreover, the older girls and sisters beat and scold her, who will allow you to meddle in your own business again?If we manage like this, what are we going to tell them to learn from us?The older you get, the less rules you have!You see Qian'er Zhui'er's mother arguing, so you also come to learn from her?Don't worry, because of this illness and that illness, the old lady couldn't relax, so I didn't reply.After two days of free time, let's go back to the pain once, and everyone should show off their prestige!Baoyu is better. Even if we dare not speak loudly, you beat us like a wolf and howl like a ghost.If the higher-ups can leave the door for a few days, you will be lawless. If you lose our eyes, you will beat us in two days!She doesn't want you as a godmother, afraid that dung will bury her? Baoyu was so angry that he tapped on the threshold with his stick and said, "It's a strange thing that these old women are all hard-hearted.If you can't take care of it, you will be frustrated, and it will last forever, what to do!Qingwen said: "whatever is good, they are all thrown out, don't want these fancy things!"The old woman was ashamed and said nothing.That Fangguan was only wearing a begonia red padded jacket, green silk trousers with patterned patterns underneath, the trousers were left open, his hair like black oil was hanging behind his head, and he was crying like tears.Musk Moon said with a smile: Miss Yingying has turned into a tortured matchmaker instead!This time I don't dress up again, and I'm still so slack.Baoyu said: "She has a very good face, so don't tighten the lining."Qingwen went over to pull him, washed her hair, wrung it dry with a towel, and loosely tied her makeup in a bun, ordered her to get dressed and come over here. Then, the mother-in-law of the house cook came to ask: I have dinner, can I send it away?The little girl heard this and came in to ask Xiren.The attacker laughed and said, "I just had a quarrel for a while, and I didn't pay attention to listening to the clock."Qingwen said: "I don't know what's wrong with Lao Shizi, so I have to clean it up again."Then, he took a look at his watch and said, "Just wait for half an hour for tea."The little girl went.Musk Moon said with a smile: Speaking of being naughty, Fang Guan should also hit him a few times.She was the one who played with the pendant for half a day yesterday, and it broke.While speaking, the tableware was ready-made.For a while, the little girl came in holding the box and stopped.When Qingwen and Sheyue opened it to look at it, they were still these four side dishes.Qingwen smiled and said: "It's ready, why not give me two light dishes!"How long does this porridge and pickles make trouble?While setting it up, he looked at the box again, but there was a bowl of ham and fresh bamboo shoot soup, which he hurriedly brought and put in front of Baoyu.Baoyu took a sip on the table and said, "It's so hot!"The attacker laughed and said, "Bodhisattva!"Can not see meat for a few days, so greedy!While speaking, he quickly picked it up and blew gently with his mouth.Seeing Fangguan by his side, he handed it to Fangguan and said with a smile: "You also learn to serve, don't just sleep in a daze."Take it lightly, don't blow on the saliva.Fang Guan blew a few mouthfuls according to his words, which was very appropriate. Her godmother was also busy serving meals and serving outside the door.As soon as Xiang Rifang arrived, he had recognized him from outside, so he went to Lixiangyuan together.This godmother was originally a third-class figure in Rongfu, but she never agreed to wash with them, so she doesn't know the inner rules.Today, they are also relied on to enter the garden and return to the house with the daughter.This old woman had experienced Musk Moon's ostentation first, so she knew a little bit about it. She was afraid that Fang Guan would not recognize her as a godmother, and there would be many failures, so she only wanted to buy them.Seeing Fangguan blowing soup, he ran in and laughed, "She's not mature, she beats the bowl carefully, let me blow it."Say it on the one hand and accept it on the other hand.Qingwen hurriedly shouted: Get out!If you let her smash the bowl, it's not your turn to blow it!Why did you come here to grid?Don't go out yet!At the same time, he scolded the little girls: "You are blind, she doesn't know, and you don't tell her!"The little girls all said: We kicked her out, but she wouldn't go out; we talked about her, but she didn't believe it.Are you believable for bringing us into trouble now?Where we go, half of what you have been to, half of which you can't go to!What's more, it doesn't count if we go to a place we can't go, and we go to stretch our hands and mouths.While speaking, he pushed her out.Seeing her coming out, the wives who were waiting for the empty box all laughed and said, "Sister-in-law didn't even use the mirror to take a look, so she went in."The woman was so ashamed that she hated and was angry, so she had to endure it. Fangguan blew a few mouthfuls, and Baoyu smiled and said, "Okay, I'm hurt carefully."You have a taste, okay?Fang Guan only took it as a joke, just smiled and looked at Xiren and so on.Attacker said: Why don't you just have a taste?Qingwen laughed and said, "Look at me and taste it."He took a sip as he spoke.Seeing this, Fang Guan took a sip himself and said, "Okay."Pass it to Baoyu.Baoyu drank half a bowl, ate a few slices of bamboo shoots, and half a bowl of porridge, that's all.Everyone picked them out.The little girl held the washbasin in her hand, finished washing, and Xiren waited to go out to eat.Baoyu winked at Fang Guan. Fang Guan was clever by himself, and had studied opera for several years. Why didn't he know?He pretended to have a headache and stopped eating.Attacker said: "If you don't eat, you will stay in the house as a companion. I will save this porridge for you. I will eat it when I am hungry."They all went. Baoyu and her are only two people here, so Baoyu started from the fire just now, how he met Ouguan, how he lied and protected him, and how Ouguan asked me to ask you, from beginning to end, told her in detail, and asked again Who is the fruit of her sacrifice?After hearing this, Fangguan smiled all over his face, sighed again, and said, "This is both ridiculous and lamentable."After hearing this, Baoyu hurriedly asked what was going on.Fangguan laughed and said, "Who do you think she sacrificed to?"The one who sacrificed was the dead official.Baoyu said: "This is friendship, and it should be."Fangguan laughed and said, "Where is friendship?"She actually had a crazy and silly idea, saying that she herself is a young student, and the school official is Xiaodan, who are often husband and wife. Although it is fake, the daily ostentations are all things that are truly gentle and considerate, so the two of them are crazy. Now, even though you don't act, you usually eat and sit up, the two of you are actually loving each other.As soon as the official died, she cried so hard that she couldn't forget it to this day, so she burned paper every section.Later, Rui Guan was replaced, and we saw her as gentle and considerate, and we also asked her to get a new one and discard the old one.She said: There is another reason for this.For example, if a man loses his wife, or if he must be a continuation, he must also be a continuation.Just don't forget about the dead, it's affectionate.It is unreasonable to stay alone for a lifetime because of the continuation of death, which hinders the great integrity, and the deceased will feel uneasy.You say you are crazy and stupid?Ridiculous to say?When Baoyu heard this nonsense, he was alone with his stupidity. He felt joy and lament at the same time. .Because he hurriedly pulled Fang Guan and said: "Since I said so, I also have a word to tell her. It would be inconvenient for me to tell her face to face. You have to tell her."Fang Guan asked what was the matter.Baoyu said: "In the future, you must never burn paper money."This paper money was originally a heresy of later generations, not the legacy of Confucius.From now on, at every time and festival, only one stove will be prepared, and incense will be burned casually on that day, and you will be qualified if you are devout.Fools do not know that no matter whether it is gods, Buddhas or dead people, they must be divided into equal cases, all kinds of cases.As everyone knows, only the word "sincerity" is the main word.That is to say, on the day of fleeing in a hurry, even though there is no incense, any soil or grass, as long as it is clean, it can be used as a sacrifice. Not only the dead enjoy the sacrifice, but also gods and ghosts come to enjoy it.Look at my case, there is only one furnace, and incense is always burned regardless of the date.They don't know the reason, but I have my own reason in my heart.If you have new tea, you can offer a bell of tea, if you have new water, you can offer a cup of water, or there are flowers, or fresh fruits, or even meat and soup. As long as the heart is pure and pure, even the Buddha can come to enjoy it. In respect, not in name.In the future, order her not to burn paper money anymore.After hearing this, Fang Guan agreed.After eating for a while, someone replied: "Old lady, the lady is back."You need to know the end, and listen to the next chapter to break it down.
