Dream of Red Mansions 曹雪芹 9632Words 2023-02-05
The title said: There is a strange girl in the deep boudoir, the peerless Kongzhucui.Infatuated with bitter tears and many tears, I have not learned to look haggard.Alas, the soul of Qianqiu, life is the same.It's not the same kind of people who are so ugly. It is said that when Jia Rong saw that everything was settled at home, she hurried to the temple and returned to Ming Jia Zhen.So all the deacons were assigned overnight, and all the flags and poles were prepared.Choose to invite the coffin into the city at Maoshi on the fourth day of the lunar month, so as to let people know your relatives and friends.On that day, the funeral ceremony was glorious, and there were many guests. From Tiekan Temple to Ningfu, there were tens of thousands of people watching along the road.There are also those who are envious, and those who sigh, and those who are envious, and there are some scholars who are half bottled of jealousy.It will not arrive until the time of application, and the coffin will be parked in the main hall.After the memorial service and mourning, relatives and friends gradually dispersed, and only the family members were left to take care of welcoming and seeing off guests.Uncle Xing was the only close relative to accompany him.At this time, Jia Zhenjia Rong was bound by etiquette and law, so she couldn't help borrowing a straw pillow beside her soul, hating to live in mourning.After the people dispersed, he still took the time to hang out with his sisters-in-law.Baoyu also wears filial piety in Ningfu every day, and people leave at night before returning to the garden.Sister Feng's body is not recovering, so even though she can't stay here all the time, or on the day when the altar is opened to chant scriptures, relatives and friends make sacrifices, she will struggle to come here to help You's cooking.

One day, breakfast was served, so the weather was still long, and Jia Zhen and others were tired all day long, so they inevitably fell asleep beside the spirit.Baoyu saw that there were no guests, so he wanted to go home to see Daiyu, because he went back to Yihong courtyard first.Entering the door, I saw that there was no one in the courtyard. There were a few old women and little girls taking toilets and enjoying the shade under the corridor, some sleeping, and some sitting and taking a nap.Baoyu didn't disturb either.Only Si'er saw it, and hurried forward to knock on the curtain.When it was about to be lifted, Fangguan ran out with a smile from inside, and almost bumped into Baoyu.Seeing Baoyu, Fang Hanxiao stopped and said, "Why are you here?"Come and stop Qingwen with me, she is going to hit me.Before he could say a word, he could only hear noises in the house, and he didn't know what was scattered all over the floor.Then Qingwen came and scolded: I see where your little hoof is going!If you lose, you don't call it a fight.Baoyu is not at home, let me see who will save you!Baoyu stopped him quickly, and said with a smile, "Your sister is young. I offended you somehow. For my sake, let her go."Qingwen also didn't want Baoyu to come back at this time. At first sight, she didn't think it was funny, so she laughed and said, "Fangguan is actually a fox spirit, and he can restrain the gods and send generals, and the spells are not so fast."He laughed again and said, "Even if you really invited God to come, I'm not afraid."So he seized his hand and still wanted to arrest Fangguan.Fangguan has long been hiding behind Baoyu.Baoyu dragged Qingwen with one hand and Fangguan with the other.Enter the house.When I looked at it, I saw Musk Moon, Autumn Pattern, Bihen, Zixiao, etc. on the west kang were catching seeds to win melon seeds.But Fangguan loses to Qingwen. Fangguan refuses to be beaten and runs out.Qingwen scattered the children in her bosom all over the ground because of chasing Fangguan.Baoyu said happily, "I'm not at home for such a long time. I'm afraid that you will be lonely. After eating and sleeping, you will get sick. It's good for everyone to find something to joke about."Because he didn't see Xiren, he asked again, "Where is your sister Xiren?"Qingwen said: "Are you attacking people?"More and more Taoist, alone in the house.We didn't go in for a while, we didn't know what she was doing, and we couldn't hear some voices.Just take a look, or you may realize it at this time, it's not certain.

When Baoyu heard about it, he laughed and went inside.I saw Xiren sitting on the bed near the window, holding a gray ribbon in his hand, and was tying a knot there.Seeing Baoyu come in, he stood up quickly and said with a smile, "what does Qingwen assign me?"Because I was in a hurry to finish the knot, I didn't have time to fool around with them, so I coaxed them and said: "You guys go play, while the second master is not at home, I want to sit here quietly and refresh myself."She just made up a lot of nonsense, such as facing the wall and meditating in Zen, I won't tear her mouth up later!

Baoyu sat down next to Xiren with a smile, watched him tie the knot, and asked: "It's been such a long day, you should also rest, or play with them, or go and see Sister Lin."It's so hot, where can I use this?Xi Rendao: I see that the fan cover you are wearing was made by Grandma Rong in Dongfu that year.The green thing can only be brought in the summer when there are funerals in the family or relatives and friends. It happens once or twice a year, and it is not a common practice.There is something going on in that mansion now, and this needs to be taken every day in the past, so I rushed to make another one.When the knot is finished, I will replace the old one for you.Although you don't pay much attention to this, if the old lady comes back to see it, she will say that we are lazy and don't even care about what you wear.Baoyu laughed and said, "It's really hard for you to imagine."Just don't rush too much, it's a big deal if it's hot.As he said that, Fang Guan brought a cup of fresh tea in cold water.Because Baoyu used to be endowed with tenderness and crispness, although he dared not use ice in the summer months, he only soaked the teapot in the basin with freshly drawn well water, and changed it from time to time, just taking the coolness.Baoyu ate half of it in Fangguan's hand, and then said to Xiren, "I have ordered Mingyan when I came. If there is an important visitor from Brother Zhen, I will ask him to come and report; if there is nothing important, I won't go there.After finishing speaking, he went out of the room, turned back to Bihen and the others and said, "If you have anything to do, come and find me at Miss Lin."So I went all the way to Xiaoxiang Pavilion to see Daiyu.

After passing the Qinfang Bridge, I saw Xueyan leading two old women, both of whom were holding lotus root, melon and fruit in their hands.Baoyu hurriedly asked Xueyan, "You girls never eat these cold things. What's the use of these melons and fruits?"Could it be that you want to invite some girl, grandma?Xueyan smiled and said, "I tell you, but you are not allowed to tell the girl."Baoyu nodded in agreement.Xueyan ordered the two women: first send the melons and fruits to sister Zijuan.If she wants to ask me, just tell me what I am doing and come here.The old woman agreed to go.Xue Yanfang said: Our girl has felt better in the past two days.After dinner today, the third girl came and wanted to see the second grandma, but the girl didn't go either.I don't know what to think of, I was sad for a while, and wrote a lot of inscriptions, I don't know if it is poetry or words.When I was asked to pass on the melons and fruits, I also heard that Zijuan was asked to remove the furnishings on the small piano table in the house, and move the table to the outside place, and asked me to put the dragon wen on the table, and wait for the melons and fruits to come. Listen to it from time to time.If it’s about inviting people, don’t make a fuss to put out the stove first; if it’s about lighting incense, we girls usually don’t like to burn incense except for fresh flowers, papaya, bergamot, etc. in the house; just lighting incense , It should also be placed in the place where you often sit and lie down.Could it be that the old wives have stinked the house, and it is impossible to use incense?After all, even I don't know why.After finishing speaking, he hurried to go.

Here, Baoyu couldn't help but bow his head and think carefully, and said in his heart: According to Xueyan, there must be a reason.If you sit with some sisters, you don't have to set up the tableware first.Or it might be the birthday of my aunt or aunt, but I remember that every year on this date, the old lady would order other dishes to be prepared and sent to Sister Lin for a private sacrifice.Probably because July is the festival of melons and fruits, and every family goes to the grave for the autumn sacrifice. Sister Lin feels deeply, so she makes a sacrifice in her private room, taking the meaning of "Book of Rites" recommending the spring and autumn to eat at that time. Certainly.But when I go now, seeing Sister Lin is sad, I will try my best to persuade her, and I am afraid that her troubles will be pent up in my heart; if I don't go, I am afraid that she will be too sad and no one will persuade her;Mo Ruo first went to Sister Feng's place to have a look, and sat there for a while before returning.If you see Sister Lin is sad, try to relieve her, so that she won't be overly sad, and if she mourns a little bit, she won't become depressed and become sick.After thinking about it, he went out of the garden gate and came all the way to Sister Feng.

Just as many deacons and wives had finished their work, they left one after another.Sister Feng is leaning against the door and talking to Ping'er.When he saw Baoyu, he smiled and said, "Have you come back?"I just gave orders to Lin Zhixiao's family.Tell her to tell your servant that if there is nothing else, please come back to rest by the way.Besides, there are so many people there, how can you resist the smell.I don't want you to fall down.Baoyu laughed and said, "Thank you, sister, for remembering."I also had nothing to do today, and I saw that my sister hadn't been to the mansion for the past two days. I didn't know if my body was getting worse, so I came back to have a look.Sister Feng said: "The left and right are just like this. Three days are good and two days are bad."The old ladies and wives are not at home, these big ladies, hey, which one is safe!Every day, if he wasn't fighting, he would bicker, and even two or three incidents of gambling and theft occurred.Although there are three girls to help handle it, she is a girl who has never left the cabinet.There are things I want her to know, and there are things I can't say to her, so I have to struggle.Never calm down for a while.Don't talk about wanting to get better, just ask for nothing.Baoyu said: "Even so, my sister should take care of her body and worry less."After finishing speaking, he said some gossip again, left Sister Feng, and walked straight to the garden.

When I entered the courtyard gate of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, I saw smoke from the stove and the remaining jade and wine.Zicuckoo is watching people moving tables and collecting furnishings.Baoyu knew that the sacrifice was over, and when he walked into the house, he saw Daiyu's face tilted inward, sick and in a state of overwhelming.Zicuckoo said quickly: "The second master Bao is here."Daiyufang got up slowly and gave way with a smile.Baoyu said, "Is my sister better these two days?"His complexion is quieter, but why are you sad again?Daiyu said: "But you don't have anything to say. How sooner or later will I be sad again?"Baoyu said with a smile: "my sister has a crying face, how can she still coax me."It's just that I think that my sister has always been sick in Japan, and I should forgive each other for everything, and don't make useless sorrows.Ruo Zuo trampled my body and made me say this in the future. I feel that the following words are a bit difficult to say, so I quickly swallowed them.It's because although he and Daiyu grew up together, they fell in love with each other and were willing to live and die together, but he only understood it in his heart and never said it to his face.Kuang Jian Daiyu has a heavy heart, and she often offends her by speaking inappropriately, causing her to cry.Today I came here to persuade Daiyu, and I didn't want to repeat what I said. I couldn't continue, and I was anxious, and I was afraid that Daiyu would annoy him.Thinking about my own heart is really good, so I turned from anxiety to sadness, and tears have already rolled down.At first Daiyu was annoyed by Baoyu's words, no matter how serious they were, but now seeing this scene, she feels something in her heart. She used to love to cry, but now she can't help crying without words.

But Zicuckoo brought tea and looked at the two of them and didn't know why they were quarreling, because they said: "The girl is better, and the second master Bao is vomiting again. What's the matter?"Baoyu wiped away tears and said with a smile: "Who dares to vomit my sister!"While striking up a conversation, they got up and took a stroll.Seeing a corner of paper slightly exposed under the inkstone, I couldn't help reaching out to pick it up.Daiyu was about to get up and grab it, but Baoyu was already holding her in her arms. She smiled and said, "Good sister!"Give me a look.Daiyu said: "No matter what, if you come, you will be confused."

Before he could say a word, he saw Baochai coming and said with a smile, "What does Brother Bao want to see?"Because Baoyu didn't see what was said above, and didn't know what was going on in Daiyu's mind, he didn't dare to make an answer, but looked at Daiyu and smiled.While letting Baochai sit down, Daiyu said with a smile: "I have seen talented women in ancient history who have suffered all their lives. There are many people who are gratifying, enviable, sad, and deplorable."I had nothing to do after dinner today, because I chose a few people and made up a few poems at random to express my feelings. It happened that the girl came to meet me to see Sister Feng. I didn't go with her because I was lazy, so I just wrote five poems. I got sleepy for a while, and left it there, not wanting the second master to come, so I saw it. In fact, it's nothing to show him, but I just wonder if he wrote it for others to read.Baoyu hurriedly said, "How sooner or later will I be seen by others?"The fan yesterday was originally a few poems about Bai Haitang that I love, so I wrote them in lower case letters myself, just for the convenience of holding them in my hand and looking at them.Don't I know that the poems and handwriting in the boudoir can't be easily passed on to the outside world?Since you said it, I never took out the garden.Baochai said, "Sister Lin is worried too."Since you wrote it on the fan, accidentally forgot it, took it in the study, and was seen by the husbands, why don't you ask who did it.If it spreads widely, it is not beautiful.Since ancient times, women's lack of talent is virtue, and chastity is always the main priority, and female workers are the second.The rest of the poems and the like are just boudoir games, you may or may not know it.Girls from a family like us don't want the reputation of talent.Yin laughed again and said to Daiyu, "It's okay to take it out and show it to me, as long as you don't ask Brother Bao to take it out."Daiyu laughed and said, "Since I said so, you don't even need to read it."Pointing to Baoyu again, he smiled and said, "He has already snatched it away."After Baoyu heard this, Fang took it out of his bosom, and went to Baochai's side to have a closer look together.I saw that wrote:

The generation of Xishi was all over the city and chased the waves, Wu Gongkong recalled his son's family.Frown and smile like a girl in the East Village, she still wears yarn by the Toubai River. Concubine Yu's heart is broken, and the wind roars at night, and Xi Xi hates Chongtong.Tattooed Peng Gan received his age, drinking swords is like being in Chu's tent! The concubine of the Ming Dynasty was stunningly beautiful and came out of the Han Palace.Even if the king is light-colored, how can he get a painter if he seizes power? A green pearl, rubble and a bright pearl are thrown away, He Zengshi, Wei Zhongjiao!Both were created by the stubborn blessings of the previous life, and even more lonely when they return together. Hong Fu Chang Yixiong talks with a different attitude, the beauty has huge eyes and knows the way out.Yang Gongmu, who lives in the corpse, how can he restrain the husband of a woman! Baoyu looked at it, was full of praise, and said, "My sister happened to only make five poems, so why not call it "Five Beauties".So I couldn't say anything, so I took a pen and wrote it later.Baochai also said: "No matter what the topic is when you write a poem, you just need to be good at interpreting the meaning of the ancients."If you want to follow people's footsteps, even if the words and sentences are exquisite and fall into the second meaning, it is not a good poem after all.That is to say, there are many poems chanting Zhaojun by the predecessors, some mourning Zhaojun, some resenting Zhaojun's life extension, and some ridiculing the Han emperor for not being able to make painters look good.Later, Wang Jinggong thought that the painting could not be done because of his mentality, so he killed Mao Yanshou in vain at that time; Yongshu had his eyes and ears to see this, and Wan Li'an was able to control the barbarians.Both of the two poems can express their own opinions and do not imitate their predecessors.The five poems written by Sister Lin today can also be said to have a novel meaning and a unique meaning. When I was still about to talk, someone replied, "Second Lord Lian is back."Just then, it was rumored that he had gone to the East Mansion for a while, and he must be back soon.After hearing this, Baoyu got up quickly, went to the gate and waited.It happened that Jia Lian got off his horse and came in.So Baoyu first knelt down to meet Jia Lian, greeted Jia's mother, Mrs. Wang and others, and then greeted Jia Lian.The two walked in hand in hand.I saw Li Wan, Sister Feng, Baochai, Daiyu, Ying, Tan, Xi, etc. waiting in the middle hall, and they all met each other.Because I heard Jia Lian say: "The old lady will be home early tomorrow morning, and she will be in good health all the way."Today, I was sent home to have a look. Tomorrow at five o'clock, I still have to go out of the city to meet him.After finishing speaking, they asked about the situation of the journey.Because Jia Lian had come back from a long journey, everyone said goodbye and asked Jia Lian to go back to his room to rest.One night scene, no need to elaborate. Around meal time the next day, I saw Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang coming.After the audience was over, they sat down for a while and had a cup of tea, then led Mrs. Wang and others to Ningfu.I only heard the crying inside, but it was Jia Yu and Jia Fan who came over here to send Jia Mu home.At the moment when Jia's mother entered, Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian led the clan people to come out crying.One by one, his father and son took Jia Mu's arms and walked to the coffin. Jia Zhen and Jia Rong knelt down and threw themselves into Jia Mu's arms and wept bitterly.Seeing this scene, Jiamu's elderly mother hugged Zhen, Rong and so on and cried bitterly.Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian persuaded him, but they stopped slightly.Turning to Lingyou again, and seeing You's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, it was inevitable to have another bitter stalemate.After crying, everyone stepped forward to say hello one by one.Jia Zhen came home because of Jia Mu, and she didn't have a rest. Sitting here and watching, she felt sad, so she begged Jia Mu to go home again and again, and Mrs. Wang and others persuaded her again and again.Mother Jia had no choice but to come back. Sure enough, old people can't help being sad and sad. At night, they feel headache and body aches, and their noses are stuffy and their voices are heavy.He hurriedly invited a doctor to diagnose the pulse and prescribe medicine, and he was in a hurry all day long.Fortunately, it spread quickly, and the scriptures were not passed on. By the third watch, some beards were sweating, and the pulse was calm and the body was cool, so everyone was relieved.Still take medicine conditioning to next day.A few days later, it was time for Jia Jing's funeral. Jia's mother was still recovering, so she left Baoyu to serve at home.Sister Feng didn't go because she was never very good.The rest of Jia Amnesty, Jia Lian, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang and others led their family servants to Tiekan Temple and returned at night.Jia Zhen, You Shi and Jia Rong are still guarding the spirit in the temple. After a hundred days, Fang Fu's coffin returns home.At home, my old lady and my second and third sisters are still in the care of you. But it is said that Jia Liansu has heard the names of You's sisters every day, and hates not being able to see them.Nearly because Jia Jingling was at home and knew the second and third sisters every day, he couldn't help salivating.Kuang Zhi, Jia Zhen, Jia Rong and others used to meet each other, so they took the opportunity to tease and flirt with each other in every possible way.The third sister was only indifferent to each other, and only the second sister was very interested, but she just had too many eyes and couldn't make a move.Jia Lian was also afraid that Jia Zhen would be jealous, so she didn't dare to move lightly, so they had to understand each other.After the funeral at this time, there were few servants in Jia Zhen's family. Except Youlao Niang led the second and third sisters and a few maids and wives who were rough envoys lived in the main room, the rest of the maidservants and concubines stayed with the temple.The servants outside are only patrolling at night and guarding the door during the day, and they don't go inside when they have nothing to do during the day.Therefore, Jia Lian wanted to take advantage of this situation, so he asked Jia Zhen to stay in the temple in the name of accompanying Jia Zhen, and often went to Ning's mansion to hook up with his second sister by doing housework for Jia Zhen. One day, Yu Lu, a young housekeeper, went back and forth to Jia Zhen and said: "The former used the shed bar filial cloth and asked the barman Tsing Yi to spend a total of one thousand taels of silver. In addition to the five hundred taels of silver, he still owed five hundred taels."Yesterday, two buyers and sellers came to demand, and the servant came here to beg for the Lord's instructions.Jia Zhen said: "You just go to the warehouse to get it. Why do you need to ask me?"Yu Lu said: "I went to the treasury to collect it yesterday, but after the Lord Bintian, there are a lot of collections from various places, and the rest has to be prepared for the hundred-day dojo and temple expenses, but it cannot be distributed at this time."That's why the little slave came back to the master today, or the master's inner library temporarily issued it, or borrowed anything, and told the slave to handle it.Jia Zhen laughed and said, "You should be the first. If you have money, don't use it."No matter where you are, lend it to him for the time being.Yu Lu replied with a smile: If you say one or two hundred taels, you can still flatter me, but four or five hundred taels, how can you do it for a while!Jia Zhen thought for a while and said to Jia Rong: "Ask your mother. After the funeral yesterday, the Zhen family in the south of the Yangtze River sent five hundred liang of sacrificial silver, but it was not handed over to the treasury. You ask for it first and give it to him."Jia Rong agreed, and hurried over here, went back to Youshi, turned back to his father and said: "Yesterday, two hundred taels of silver have been spent, and the remaining three hundred taels will be sent home to my old lady." Received.Jia Zhen said: "In that case, you take him there and ask your wife to give it to him."Let's see what's going on at home again, and say hello to your two aunts.For the rest, Yu Lu will borrow it first and add it. Jia Rong and Yu Lu agreed, Fang wanted to withdraw, but Jia Lian walked in.Yu Lu hurriedly stepped forward to greet Ann.Jia Lian asked what was the matter, and Jia Zhen told them one by one.Jia Lian thought in his heart: taking this opportunity, I can go to Ningfu to find my second sister.On the one hand, he said, "it's such a big deal, why bother to borrow it from others."I got a piece of silver yesterday, but I haven't used it yet. Wouldn't it be easy to add it to him?Jia Zhen said, "It's very good."Then you ordered Rong'er to take it away.Jia Lian hurriedly said, "I have to take it myself."Besides, I haven't been home for the past few days, and I have to greet the old lady, the master, and the ladies.Then go to elder brother to check if there is any trouble in the family, and also greet the wife in-law.Jia Zhen said with a smile: "It's just working on your second child again, and I feel uneasy."Jia Lian also laughed and said, "My brother, what's the matter?"Jia Zhen told Jia Rong again: "You went with your uncle, and also went over there to greet the old lady, the master, and the ladies, saying that my mother and I are both well, and inquire about the old lady's body. Are you still taking medicine?"Jia Rong agreed one by one, followed Jia Lian out, took a few young men, rode on horses, and went into the city together. Gossip with uncle and nephew Lu.Jia Lian had a heart, so he mentioned Second Sister You, because she boasted about how beautiful she is, how she is a good person, how she behaves generously and speaks softly. Second aunt and one zero.Knowing what it meant, Jia Rong smiled and said, "Since my uncle loves him so much, I'll be a matchmaker for my uncle. How about being a second wife?"Jia Lian said with a smile, "it's good to dare."I'm afraid your aunt won't follow me, and I'm afraid your mother won't.Besides, I heard that your second aunt already has a family.Jia Rong said: "It's all right."My second aunt and third aunt were not raised by my master, they were originally brought by my mother.When I heard that my old mother was in that family, she betrothed my second aunt to Zhang's family, head of Huangliangzhuang, as a marriage.Later, the Zhang family suffered a lawsuit and fell into disrepair, and my old mother married from that family again. Now, for more than ten years, the two families have not heard from each other.My old mother often complained and wanted to divorce his family, and my father also wanted to transfer my second aunt.Just wait for a good family, but let people find Zhang's family, count two silvers for him, and write a letter of divorce.I thought that the extremely poor people in Zhang's family would not rely on money when they saw silver.Besides, he also knows people like us, so he is not afraid of his disobedience.It's someone like my uncle who said to be the second wife, and I guarantee that both my mother and my father are willing.It's just that it's difficult for my aunt. When Jia Lian heard this, his heart blossomed. There was nothing to say, but he just laughed dumbly.Jia Rong thought about it again, and said with a smile: "If uncle has the guts, go with my idea. It's okay to keep it safe, but it will cost a little more money."Jia Lian hurriedly said, "What's your idea? Tell me quickly. I have nothing against you."Jia Rong said: "Uncle, when you come home, don't show your face."When I got to know my father, I made an agreement with my old mother, and then I bought a house and other things near the back of our house, and sent two servants from the family to take care of it.The day was chosen, and people didn't know it, and people didn't know it. They married in the past and asked their family members not to let the news out.The sister-in-law lives in it, a deep house and compound, so I have to know where.The uncle lives in the house, and after a year or so, even if there is a disturbance, he will only be scolded by the master.The uncle only said that the aunt never gave birth, and it was for the sake of the heirs, so this was done outside without permission.Even my aunt, seeing raw rice cooked into mature rice, had no choice but to do so.Please ask the old lady again, there is no end to it. Since ancient times, Jia Lian has only been greedy for the beauty of his second sister since ancient times. After hearing Jia Rong's words, he tried to make a plan out of everything. , are ignored.But I don't know that Jia Rong didn't have good intentions. He had feelings with his two aunts on weekdays, and because Jia Zhen was inside, he couldn't feel free.Now if Jia Lian is married, he will have to live outside, so that he can fool around while Jia Lian is away.Jia Lian didn't expect this, so he thanked Jia Rong: "Good nephew, you can really say it. I'll buy two beautiful girls to thank you."As he said, he had arrived at the gate of Ningfu.Jia said: "Uncle goes in and asks my old lady for money, just give it to Yu Lu."I'll greet the old lady first.Jia Lian nodded with a smile and said: Come to the old lady, don't mention that I came with you.Jia Rong said: I know.Then he whispered to Jia Lian, "I'm going to meet my second aunt today, so don't be impatient. If something happens, it will be difficult in the future."Jia Lian laughed and said, "Stop talking nonsense!"you go quickly.I'm here waiting for you.So Jia Rong went to greet Jia Mu herself. When Jia Lian entered Ningfu, the head of the family had already led the family to greet him and followed him all the way to the hall.Jia Lian asked some questions one by one, but it was just a matter of reprimand, so he ordered his family to disperse and walked inside alone.It turns out that Jia Lian and Jia Zhensu are close and brothers, and they are unavoidable people who don't wait to be notified when they come.So he went to the upper room, and the old lady serving in the corridor had already opened the curtain to let Jia Lian in.Jia Lian entered the room and saw that only the second sister You and her two maidservants were working together on the kang in the south, but she could not see Mrs. You and the third sister.Jia Lian hurriedly stepped forward to say hello and meet each other.The second sister You also gave up her seat with a smile, so Jia Lian sat against the east wall and still gave up the head to the second sister. After the cold and warm, Jia Lian asked with a smile, "where are my wife and third sister?"Why don't you see me?Second Sister You said with a smile: "I just came later when I had something to do."At this time, because the serving maid was pouring tea and no one was around, Jia Lian looked at her second sister and smiled.The second sister also lowered her head and just smiled.Jia Lian didn't dare to make a fuss again, because seeing the second sister playing with a handkerchief tied with a pouch in her hand, she accosted her and touched her waist, saying, "I forgot to bring the betel nut pouch too. My sister has betel nuts. Please give me a reward." I eat it in one bite.The second sister said: "There are betel nuts, but my betel nuts are never eaten by people." Jia Lian smiled and wanted to get close to him.The second sister was afraid that people would see her as indecent, so she quickly smiled and walked over.Jia Lian took it in his hand and poured it all out. He picked up half of the piece and ate the rest, put it in his mouth and ate it, and picked up the rest.Just as I was about to deliver the purse in person, I saw two maids pour tea.Jia Lian took the tea and ate it, and secretly untied a Hanyu Jiulong pei he had brought, tied it to a handkerchief, and left it behind when the maid turned her head.The second sister didn't go to get it either, she just pretended not to see it, and still sat and ate tea.There was only a sound of the curtain at the back, but it was Mrs. You and the third sister who came from behind with two little girls.Jia Lian sent his eyes to the second sister and asked her to pick it up, but the second sister You just ignored it.Jia Lian didn't know what the second sister meant, so she was very anxious, so she had to go up to meet Mrs. You and the third sister.When she looked back at her second sister again, she saw her smiling, as if nothing had happened. Then she looked at the hand towel again, and she didn't know where she was. Jia Lian was relieved. So after everyone returned to their seats, they talked about some gossip.Jia Lian said: "The elder sister-in-law said that a bag of silver was handed over to the in-laws for collection the day before yesterday. Today, because I have to return it, my elder brother ordered me to pick it up."See what's going on at home again.After hearing this, Mrs. You hurriedly asked her second sister to take the key to get the silver.Here Jia Lian said again: "I also want to greet my wife, and look at my two sisters."The in-laws' wife looks good, but the two younger sisters were wronged in our family.Mrs. You laughed and said: We are all close relatives, so what can we say?He is also living at home, and he is also living here.To be honest with the second master, our family has been really struggling since the death of our husband, all thanks to the help of my uncle here.Now that my uncle's family has such a major event, we can't do anything else, just see if there is any grievance at home.Just as I was talking, the second sister had already taken the silver and handed it over to Mrs. You.Mrs. You handed it to Jia Lian.Jia Lian asked a little girl to call an old woman, and told her, "Give this to Yu Lu and tell him to take it over there and wait for me."The old woman agreed to go out. Only Jia Rong's voice could be heard in the courtyard.After a while, he came in, greeted his mother and aunt, and said with a smile to Jia Lian, "just now, the master asked his uncle what he wanted to order."I was going to send people to the temple to call, but I told the master, and my uncle came.The master also told me that I met my uncle on the road and told me to go quickly.After Jia Lian heard this, she was about to get up, and then she heard Jia Rong and his mother say: I told the old lady that time, the uncle my father wanted to tell my second aunt was about the same in appearance and stature as my uncle.The old lady said okay?As he spoke, he pointed at Jia Lian quietly and made a fuss with his second aunt.The second sister was embarrassed to say anything, but the third sister laughed and scolded: "You really bad little monkey bastard!"No more what your mother said, wait until I tear his mouth!As he spoke, he rushed over.Jia Rong ran out early with a smile, and Jia Lian also resigned with a smile.Walking to the hall, he told his family members not to spend money and eat wine, etc.; and quietly asked Jia Rong to go back and tell his father quickly.On the one hand, he brought Yu Lu over, added enough money and handed it to him.On the one hand, he saw his father by himself, and went to pay his respects to Jia Mu, without mentioning it. But when Jia Rong saw that Yu Lu had gone with Jia Lian to get the money, and she was fine, she went back inside and played a mockery with his two aunts before getting up.When I arrived at the temple at the end of the day, I met Jia Zhen and said, "The money has been handed over to Yu Lu."The old lady has recovered and is no longer taking medicine.After finishing speaking, by the way, he also said that Jia Lian wanted to marry the second sister You as the second wife on the way.He also said how to live in a house outside without letting Sister Feng know. At this time, it is only for the sake of hardship for the children, and because the second aunt has seen it before, and they will be relatives, which is better than other people who don't know good.So the second uncle repeatedly asked me to tell my father.Not to mention that it was his own idea. Jia Zhen thought for a while and said with a smile: Actually, that's all.I just don't know if your second aunt is willing or not.Tomorrow you go to discuss with your old lady first, ask your old lady to ask your second aunt for approval, and then make a decision.So he taught Jia Rong another word, then came over and told You Shi about it.But Youshi knew it was wrong, so he tried his best to dissuade him.But Jia Zhen has made up her mind, and she is used to obedience on weekdays. Besides, she and her second sister are not the same mother, so it is inconvenient to take care of her, so they have to quarrel. In the early morning of the next day, as expected, Jia Rong came back to the city to see his old lady, told his father's wishes, and added a lot of words, saying how good Jia Lian was. I bought a house and lived outside. After a year or so, when Sister Feng died, I took my second aunt in as the main room.He also talked about how his father hired him at this time, how Jia Lian married him, how he took over your old man for the elderly, and then the third aunt also accepted the replacement job there.What's more, Jia Zhen owed a lot to Jia Zhen's generosity on weekdays. At this time, Jia Zhen took the initiative to replace him, and he didn't have to buy the dowry himself. Jia Lian was a young man, ten times stronger than Zhang Huasheng, so he hurried over to discuss with his second sister.The second sister is also a water-based person. She had a problem with her brother-in-law before, and she often resented Zhang Hua's mistake at that time, which resulted in her being lost for life.Immediately answered Jia Rong, Jia Rong replied to his father. The next day, he ordered Jia Lian to come to the temple, and Jia Zhen told him face to face what Mrs. You had promised.Jia Lian was overjoyed, and thanked Jia Zhen, Jia Rong and his son endlessly.So the three of them discussed, let people look at the house, put on jewelry, buy dowry for the second sister, and use bed curtains in the new house.But in a few days, everything will be done early.I have bought a house in Xiaohuazhi Lane, two miles behind Ningrong Street, with a total of more than 20 rooms.I bought two more maids.It's just that the family members in the house dare not do anything, and the shoppers outside are afraid that their confidantes will leak the news, so they suddenly think of their family Bao Erlai.At the beginning, because of having an affair with his woman, she was beaten up by Sister Feng for a while, and she hanged herself in shame. Jia Lian gave him two hundred silver and asked him to marry another one.But Bao Er had always had a hand in hand with Duo Hunchong's daughter-in-law, Duo Girl, who was the cook. Later, Duo Hunchong died of alcohol consumption, and the girls saw that Bao Er was calm, so they married Bao Er.What's more, all these girls were also on good terms with Jia Lian, and they all moved out to live at this time.Jia Lian thought of it for a moment, so he called him and his wife to the new house to prepare for the second sister to serve when she came.Why didn't Bao Er and his wife come when they heard about Qiao Zong'er?They also called Zhang Hua and his son to force him to write a divorce letter with Mrs. You. But it is said that Zhang Hua's ancestor, who was the head of Huangliang Zhuang, died later.When Zhang Hua's father was still in charge of this task, he married Zhang Hua and You's second sister because of his close relationship with You Laoniang's ex-husband.Later, unexpectedly, he was sued by a lawsuit, his family property was ruined, and his food and clothing were poor. How could he afford to marry a daughter-in-law?Mrs. You married from that family again.The two have not heard from each other for more than ten years.Now he was summoned by the family of Jia's family to force him to divorce his second sister. Although he didn't want to, he was afraid of Jia Zhen and others' power, so he didn't dare to refuse, so he had to write a divorce agreement.Mrs. You and the silver were tens of taels of silver, and the two families resigned from the marriage without mentioning it. Here, Jia Lian and others saw that everything was settled, so they chose an auspicious day in the third year of junior high school in order to marry their second sister.I don't know how, I will break it down next time.exactly: Just for the same branch's greed and lust, it caused Jiaolian to pick up spears.
