It's said that Baoyu heard that Jia Mu was waiting for her return, so she added an extra dress and came to the front with a stick.Because of the hard work every day, Jia Mu and others had to rest early. They had nothing to say all night, and went to court again at five drums the next day. Not far from the mourning day, the four people, Mandarin Duck, Amber, Jade, and Glass, are all busy arranging for Jiamu's belongings; jade bracelets, Caiyun, Caixia, etc. are all arranging for Mrs. Wang's belongings, and check with the accompanying wives in charge.There are a total of six servant girls, big and small, and ten wives and daughters-in-law, not counting men.Day after day, I packed up the sedan equipment.Neither the mandarin ducks nor the jade bracelets went with them, but only looked at the house.On the one hand, the things for the curtains were distributed in advance for a few days, and four or five daughters-in-law and a few men led them out, took a few cars and detoured to the lower place first, and waited for the layout.

On the next day, Jia Mu took Rong's wife in a pack sedan chair, and Mrs. Wang also took a pack sedan chair behind her. Jia Zhen rode a horse and led all the family guards.There are also a few large carts to sit with the mother-in-law and maidservants, and put some clothes and bags for changing.On that day, Aunt Xue and Youshi led all the people to send them back outside the gate.Fearing inconvenience on the road, Jia Lian sent his parents up to catch up with Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang's sedan chair, and then led his family to follow behind. In Rongfu, Lai Datian sent people to go to the night to close the two halls and courtyards, and all the people who came in and out went through the small corner gate in the west.At sunset, he ordered the door of the ceremony to be closed and no one was allowed to enter or leave.The front, rear, east and west corner doors in the garden are also locked, leaving only the door behind Mrs. Wang's big room, which is often used by her sisters, and the corner door of Aunt Xue on the east side.Inside, Yuanyang and Yuchuan'er also closed their upper rooms, and took their maidservants and mother-in-law down to rest.Every day Lin Zhixiao's wife came in and led a dozen or so women to the night. Many young men were added to the hall to sit and play clappers, and the arrangement was very proper.

One day at dawn, Baochai woke up from the spring sleepiness, and lay down on the bed, feeling a little cold, and Qihu looked at it, and saw that the soil in the garden was moist and mossy. It turned out that there was a little rain at five o'clock.So Xiangyun and others were called to come and wash up. Xiangyun said that his cheeks were itchy, and he was afraid of apricot keloid again, so he asked Baochai for some rose nitrate rubbing.Baochai said, "I gave my sister what was left of the former son."Because he said: "The hairdresser has matched a lot. I was about to ask for some from him and her. Because I didn't feel itchy this year, I forgot."Because Yinger was ordered to fetch some.Ying'er agreed, and when she went, Ruiguan said, "I'll go with you, and take a look at Ouguan by the way."Said, all the way out of Hengwu Garden with Yinger.

The two talked to each other, walking and laughing at the same time. Unconsciously, they came to Xingyezhu and walked along Liudi.Seeing the willow leaves spit out shallow blue, and the silk is like gold, Ying'er laughed and said: "Can you weave things with wicker sticks?"Ruiguan laughed and said, "What are you making up?"Ying'er said, "What can't we make up?"You can play whatever you want.It will be fun when I pick some leaves, weave a flower basket with the leaves, and put flowers of various colors in it.As he said, he didn't go to pick up the nitrate, but stretched out his hand to hold the green and covered with gold, picked a lot of tender slivers, and ordered the pistil officer to take it.But she weaves flower baskets as she walks, picks one or two branches as she sees flowers along the way, and weaves an exquisite basket with lintels.The branches are originally covered with green leaves, but it is also unique and interesting to put flowers on them.Xi Derui officer smiled and said: "Good sister, give it to me!"Ying'er said: "Let's send this one to Miss Lin, and when we come back, we'll pick more and make up some for everyone to play with."With that said, he came to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

Daiyu was also doing her morning makeup, and when she saw the basket, she smiled and said, "Who made this fresh flower basket?"Ying'er laughed and said: I made up one for girls to play with.Daiyu accepted it with a smile and said, "The strange Taoist praises your dexterity, but this thing is also unique."While looking at it, he ordered the azalea to hang there.Ying'er asked Aunt Xue again, and Fang and Daiyu asked for nitrate.Daiyu hurriedly ordered Zicuckoo to pack a bag and hand it to Yinger.Daiyu said again, "I'm done. I'm going out for a walk today."You go back and tell your sister that you don't need to come over to greet Mom, and you don't dare to bother her to come and see me. After combing her hair, Mom and I will go to your place, and even bring food there to eat, and everyone will be more lively.

Ying'er agreed to come out, and then went to Zicuckoo's room to find Ruiguan.Seeing that Ruiguan and Ouguan were talking happily, they couldn't leave each other. Yin Yinger laughed and said, "Young lady is going too. Wouldn't it be good for Ouguan to wait with us first?"Hearing this, Zicuckoo also said: "That's true, she is so naughty here."While speaking, he wrapped Daiyu's spoon and chopsticks in a foreign towel, handed it to Ouguan and said, "You take this first, and it's a good trip." The lotus official picked it up, came out with the two of them smiling, and walked along the willow embankment.Then Ying'er picked some willow sticks and sat on the rocks to weave them up; and ordered the pistil officer to send the nitrate first before coming back.The two of them just love to watch her make up, so they are not willing to go.Ying'er just urged and said: If you don't go, I won't make up any more.The lotus official said, "I'm going with you, and come back soon."The two went.

Here, Yinger is weaving, and I saw Chunyan, the youngest daughter of Po He, coming, and asked with a smile: "What is my sister weaving?"Just as he was talking, Rui and Ou also arrived.Chunyan said to Ou Guan: What kind of paper did you burn a while ago?My aunt saw it and wanted to sue you, but she failed, but Baoyu blamed her a lot, so he was so angry that he told my mother.What kind of hatred have you accumulated in the past two or three years outside, and you still haven't untied it yet?The lotus official sneered and said, "What hatred is there?"They were dissatisfied and turned against us.In the past two years outside, other things are not counted, only our rice and vegetables are counted.Whenever we make them envoys, we complain about everything.Tell me, do you have a conscience?

Chunyan smiled and said: She is my aunt, so it is not good to tell outsiders about her.I can't blame Baoyu and said: "A girl is a priceless jewel before she is married; when she is married, she will have many bad problems somehow. Although it is a pearl, it has no brilliance and color. It is a dead pearl; no matter how old you are, What's more, it's not beads, but fish eyes!Knowing a person, how can he change into three things?Although this is nonsense, it is not bad.Others don't know, only my mother and aunt, his two old sisters are getting more and more serious about money now that they are getting older.At first, the old lady and her son were both at home, complaining that they had no errands and no benefits. Fortunately, there was this garden, and they picked me in, and it happened that I was assigned to Yihong Courtyard.It is not a big deal to save my own expenses at home, and there is still four or five hundred yuan left over every month, which is not enough.Later, the two old sisters were sent to Lixiangyuan to take care of them. Ouguan recognized my aunt, and Fangguan recognized my mother. These years are really rich.Moving in now can be regarded as letting go, and it's just boring.Do you think it's funny or not?My aunt just quarreled with Ou Guan, and then my mother quarreled with Fang Guan to wash her hair.Fangguan didn't even wash his hair when asked.I got monthly money yesterday, and I couldn't push it away. I bought something and asked me to wash it first.I thought about it: I have money, but I don't have money. When it's time to launder, it's easy for Xiren, Qingwen, Sheyue, whoever comes up to tell them, why bother?So boring.So I don't wash.She also told my younger sister, Xiao Jiu'er, to call her Fang Guan only after she had washed herself, and sure enough, a quarrel broke out.Then he was going to give Baoyu another excuse. Don't you think you're laughing to death?As soon as I saw her come in, I told those rules.She just didn't believe it, as long as she forced herself to know, it would be boring enough.Fortunately, there are so many people in the garden, no one can remember who is who.If someone remembers, what does it mean that only our family is arguing?You're here to get this again.The things on the ground in this area are all under the care of my aunt. Once she owns this place, it is more important than winning an eternal inheritance. She gets up early and goes to bed late every day. It doesn’t count for her hard work. She forces us to take care of it every day, for fear that someone will be killed. Collapsing, and afraid of missing my errand.Now that he came in, the two old aunts and sisters-in-law looked after him carefully, not allowing anyone to touch a blade of grass.You still pluck these flowers and break her tender trees, they will come right away, watch out for their complaints.Ying'er said: "Others can't do it by twisting and pinching, but I can do it alone."Since the foundation was divided, each room has its own quota every day, and it doesn't matter what you eat, and you only care about flowers and plants.Whoever cares, every day, whoever wears the girls and maids in each room, sends some broken branches in various colors, and there are also vases.We are the only ones who have said: don’t send anything away, we will ask you for what you want later.After all, I never asked for it once.I will pinch some today, and they are too embarrassed to say so.

Without saying a word, her aunt came walking on crutches.Ying'er, Chunyan and others offered to sit down.Seeing that many tender willows and lotus root officials have picked a lot of flowers, the old woman couldn't use it in her heart. Looking at Yinger's weaving, she couldn't say anything, so she said Chunyan said: "I asked you to come and take care of it." , you will be greedy and unable to play.If I call you, and you say that I have made you, and use me as an invisibility talisman, you will have fun!Chunyan said: "You always make me angry and afraid, but now you talk about me instead."Could it be impossible to split me into eight petals?Ying'er laughed and said, "Auntie, don't believe Xiaoyan's words.She picked it all up, troubled me to make it up for her, and I kicked her out, but she refused.Chunyan said with a smile: You can play less, if you only care about playing, the old man will be serious.

That old woman was a foolish person, and she was nearing the end of her life, she only cared about her life, she didn't care about her feelings, she was heartbroken, she couldn't do anything, when she heard what Yinger said, she turned her back on her old man, picked up a stick and hit Chunyan. After a few times, he cursed: "Little hoof, I'm talking about you, but you are still talking to me."Your mother is so angry that her teeth are itching, she wants to tear your flesh and eat it.You still come to beat me like a clapper.The beating made Chunyan feel ashamed and anxious, crying: "Sister Ying'er is joking, you always hit me seriously."Why does my mother hate me?I didn't burn my face again, what's the point?Ying'er was joking, but suddenly she saw that the mother-in-law got angry seriously, and hurried up to stop her and said with a smile: "I'm just joking. You old man beat her, am I worthy of it?"The woman said: Girl, don't worry about our business!Is it because of the girl that I am not allowed to take care of the children?When Ying'er heard such stupid words, she blushed in anger, threw her hands away, and said with a sneer: "You old man wants to take care of it, but you can't do it for a moment, but I said something joking, so I just take care of her."I see you go!Then he sat down and continued weaving willow baskets.

But Chunyan's mother came out to look for him and shouted: "If you don't come to scoop water, what are you doing there?"The woman then said: "Come and see, your daughter won't even accept me!"It's against me there.The old woman walked over and said, "Grandma, what's the matter?"Our girl has no mother in her eyes, and she doesn't even have an aunt?When Ying'er saw her mother coming, she had to tell the reason again.Her girl didn't allow anyone to talk, so she looked at the flower willow on the stone and said to his mother: "Look, your daughter is such a big kid playing with it!"She led people to ruin me first, what should I say about people?Her mother was also worried about Fang Guan's anger, and hated Chunyan for not following her heart, so she came up to slap her and scolded: "Little whore, how many years have you been on the platform?"You also learned from that frivolous little woman, why can't you control you?I can't control what I did, you fell out of my cunt, don't you dare to control you?Since I can't go where your hooves can go, you should die there to serve and run out to be a vagabond.At the same time, he picked up the willow stick again and threw it straight to her face, asking, "what's this called?"This is your mother's cunt!Ying'er hurriedly said: "I made it up, don't blame Sang and scold Huai!"That old lady was jealous of Xiren, Qingwen and others. She knew that all the older maids in the room were more dignified and powerful than them. When they saw this person, they were both afraid and submissive, and they were both angry and hated. He vented his anger on the crowd; Fu saw Ouguan again, who was also his sister's enemy, and gathered a wave of resentment everywhere. That Chunyan went to Yihong courtyard crying.His mother was afraid to ask her why she was crying, and afraid that she would say that she beat her again, and she would be angry with Qingwen and others, so she couldn't help getting anxious, and hurriedly shouted: "Come back!"I tell you to go again.How could Chunyan be willing to come back, so anxious was his mother to run to pull her.When Chunyan turned her head and saw it, she also ran forward.Her mother only cared about chasing her away, but the moss slipped under her feet, causing the three of Ying'er to laugh.Yinger threw all the flowers and willows into the river in a fit of anger, and went back to her room.Here, a woman is so distressed that she can only recite the Buddha, and scolds: "Small hooves!"If someone tramples on a flower, Lei will also hit him!I will pinch flowers and send them to each room without mentioning them. But Chunyan ran into the hospital all the time, and met Xiren at the head to say hello to Daiyu.Chunyan hugged Xiren and said: Girl, save me!My mother hit me again.When Xiren saw her mother coming, he couldn't help being angry, so he said, "I've been beating you twice in three days, and you're still buying your daughters, or are you really ignorant of the king's law?"Although the woman had been here for a few days, she saw that the attacker was silent and good-natured, so she said, "Miss, you don't know, don't meddle in our business!"It's all up to you, so what do you care about now?As he spoke, he rushed to fight again.The attacker was so angry that he turned around and came in, saw Sheyue was drying the towel under the begonia, heard such a noise, and said: "Sister, don't worry about it, let's see what happens to her."On the one hand, she winked at Chunyan, who understood, and went straight to Baoyu.Everyone laughed and said: This is something that has never happened before, and it happened today.Musk Moon said to her mother-in-law: "If you show your anger a little bit more, don't these people's face, if you ask for a favor with you, can't you get it?" The woman saw her daughter running to Baoyu, and Baoyu took Chunyan's hand and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here!"Chunyan cried in another line, and said in another line, telling everything about Yinger and other things just now.Baoyu became more and more anxious and said, "You are only here to make trouble. Why do you offend even your relatives?"Sheyue said to her mother-in-law and everyone: I can't blame this sister-in-law for saying that we can't take care of their affairs. Although we were ignorant and mismanaged, now we invite someone who can take care of it, and my sister-in-law is convinced and knows. The rules are over.Then he turned around and called the little girl: "Go and call Ping'er for us!"Ping'er had no time to spare, so he called Mrs. Lin over.The little girl agreed and left.All the daughters-in-law came up and laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, please call the child back quickly."Miss Ping came, but it was not good.The old woman said: "It's up to you which Ping girl is here. No mother takes care of her daughter, everyone takes care of her mother."Everyone laughed and said, "Which flat girl are you?"It's Miss Ping in the second grandmother's house.She is affectionate, say a few words to you, and once she turns her face, sister-in-law, you can't bear it and walk around! While talking, the little girl came back and said, "Miss Ping is busy. She asked me what I was doing. I told her, and she said, "In that case, drive her out, tell Mrs. Lin, and beat her for forty minutes outside the corner gate." That's it.Hearing this, the woman couldn't bear to go out, so she burst into tears again, and begged the attackers, saying: "It's so easy for me to come in, besides, I'm a widow with no one at home, so I just serve the girls inside with nothing to worry about." .Girls are also cheap, and my family can save some trouble.Once I go, I have to make a fire by myself to live, and I will inevitably lose my life in the future.Xiren saw her saying this, and his heart softened already, so he said: You want to be here, and you don't obey the rules, you are disobedient, and you beat people indiscriminately. It's a joke, it's out of style.Qingwen waited and said, "Take care of him!"It's serious to send him away, who will talk to him lip to tongue!The woman said to everyone again: "Although I was wrong, the girls ordered me to correct it in the future."How can the girls do good deeds.On the one hand, she begged Chunyan to say: "It was I who beat you up. After all, I didn't beat you up. Now I have suffered instead."You also tell me!Seeing that Baoyu was so pitiful, he had to stay and told her not to make trouble anymore.The old woman came and thanked them one by one. I saw Ping'er coming and asking what was the matter.The attacker hurriedly said, "It's over, don't mention it again."Ping'er said with a smile: "If you have to forgive others, please forgive others. If you have to save, you will save some things."I was able to go there for a few days, only to hear that people, big and small, were fighting against each other, and one place was lost and another, so I didn't know which place was right.The attacker laughed and said, "I just said that we are reversed here. There are still a few places."Ping'er smiled and said: "What is this!"Counting with Grandma Zheng and Zhen, in the past three or four days, a total of eight or nine pieces have come out.Here you are very small, you can't count it, and there are big and ridiculous things.I don't know what Ping'er said, and let's listen to the next chapter.
