Dream of Red Mansions 曹雪芹 7439Words 2023-02-05
It is said that Sister Feng was angry, anxious and sad after hearing the little girl's words. She vomited a mouthful of blood, passed out, and sat on the ground.Ping'er came to lean on him in a hurry, called someone to help him, and slowly sent Sister Feng to his room. He gently placed Sister Feng on the kang, and immediately asked Xiaohong to pour a cup of boiling water and bring it to Sister Feng's lips.Sister Feng took a sip and fell asleep in a coma.Qiutong came over and took a look, then walked away, and Ping'er didn't call her.Seeing Feng'er standing by, Ping'er told her to go back quickly to understand that Second Grandma vomited blood and became dizzy, and if she couldn't take care of it, she told Mrs. Xing and Wang.Mrs. Xing looked at Sister Feng's illness and hid it, because at this time her father was a lot of people, and it was hard to say anything else, but she didn't believe it all in her heart, so she just said, "Tell her to rest."Everyone was speechless.It's just that there were a lot of people and guests coming and going that night. Fortunately, a few relatives took care of me.When the servants of the family saw that Sister Feng was not there, they would also take a break to rest their energy.

More than two days later, after the distant guest left, the spirit of speech was prepared.All the female relatives in the filial piety cried for a while.Seeing that the mandarin duck had fainted from crying, everyone supported the beating for a while, and then woke up, saying that the old lady loved me a lot, and I followed.Everyone looked at him to the point of weeping. They all said these words and ignored them.At the time of Ci Ling, there were more than a hundred people up and down, and only the mandarin ducks were not there.When everyone is in a hurry, who will pick up some.When Hu Po waited for the people to cry for the funeral, there was no mandarin duck, presumably she was tired of crying and was resting elsewhere temporarily without speaking.After the resignation, Jia Zheng called Jia Lian outside to ask about the funeral, and they discussed sending someone to look after the house.Jia Lian replied: among the masters, Yun'er was sent to take care of them at home, and there was no need for funerals; among the servants, Lin Zhixiao's family was sent to take care of the demolition of the shed.But I don't know who is sent to watch the house inside?Jia Zhengdao: "I heard your mother say that your daughter-in-law is sick and can't go, so she told her to stay at home."Your sister-in-law Zhen also said that your daughter-in-law was seriously ill, so she asked the fourth girl to accompany her, and brought a few girls and women to take care of her in the house.After hearing this, Jia Lian thought to herself: Sister-in-law Zhen doesn't get along with the fourth girl, so she urged her not to go.It would be useless if she was the one to take care of her.One of us is sick and difficult to take care of.After thinking about it for a while, he went back to Jia Zheng and said, "Let's take a rest, master, and come back after we go in and discuss it."Jia Zheng nodded, and Jia Lian went in.

Unexpectedly, Yuanyang cried a lot at this time, thinking: I have been with the old lady all my life, and my body has not been settled.Even though Eldest Master is not at home now, I also despise Eldest Wife's behavior like this.The master is a person who doesn't care about things, and he will become king in troubled times in the future. Aren't we people going to let them mess around?Whoever is kept in the house is worthy of the boy, I can't bear such torture, I might as well die clean.But what is the way to die for a while?While thinking, he walked back to the old lady's apartment.As soon as I stepped through the door, I saw that the lights were dim, and there was a faint woman holding a sweat towel, as if she was about to hang herself.Yuanyang was not frightened, and thought to himself: Who is this one?It's the same as my mind, it's better than me to walk ahead.Then asked: Who are you?The two of us have the same heart, and we are going to die together.The man didn't answer either.Yuanyang walked up to her and saw that it was not the girl from this house, but after a closer look, she felt the air-conditioning was invading, and she disappeared for a while.Yuanyang was stunned for a while, then withdrew and sat down on the edge of the Kang, thinking carefully: Oh!That's right, this is Grandma Xiaorong from Dongfu!She was already dead, how did she come here?Must have come to call me.Why did she hang herself again?After thinking for a while, he said: Yes, it must be teaching me how to die.

When Yuanyang thought about it, the evil invaded his bones, so he stood up, crying, opened the makeup box, took out a lock of hair twisted that year, put it in his bosom, took off a sweat towel on his body, and pressed Qin's hand Fasten it where you want.I cried again, and when I heard the people leaving outside, I was afraid that someone would come in, so I hurriedly closed the door, then took a footstool, stood on myself, fastened the button of the sweat towel, put it around my throat, and put the footstool kick off.The poor throat is breathless, and the soul of the fragrance is out of the body.Zheng Wu ran away, only to see the Qin family looming in front of her, and the soul of the mandarin duck hurried to catch up, saying, "Grandma Rong, wait for me!"The man said: I am not some kind of Grandma Rong, but Jing Huan's younger sister, Ke Qing.Yuanyang said: You are obviously Grandma Rong, how can you say you are not?The man said: There is also a reason for this, after I tell you, you will naturally understand.In the Palace of Alarm and Illusion, I was originally the head of love, and I was in charge of the romantic debt. When I came to the world, I should be the number one lover. If I lure these infatuated and resentful women, I would fall into the department of love early, so I should hang myself.Because I see through the ordinary feelings, transcend the sea of ​​love, and return to the sky of love, so there is no one in charge of the infatuated department in the illusory realm.Fairy Jing Huan has already added you to take charge of this department for me, so she ordered me to lead you there.The mandarin duck's soul said: I am the most ruthless person, how can I be considered a sentient person?The man said: You don't know yet, people in the world regard lust as love, so they do things that are depraved, and they still call themselves romantic, it doesn't matter.In the word ignorance, when emotions are not expressed, it is personality; when emotions are expressed, it is emotion.As for the love between you and me, it is the unsent love, just like the bud of the flower.If you want to vent out, this feeling will not be true.After hearing this, Yuanyang's soul nodded in understanding, and followed Qin's Keqing.

Here Amber resigned from the coffin, and listened to Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang's assignment of housekeepers. She wanted to ask Yuanyang how to get on the car tomorrow, so she searched in Jiamu's outer room. If she couldn't find it, she found the apartment.As soon as I got to the door, I saw that the door was closed, and when I looked in through the crack of the door, I saw only half-bright lights, shadows, and I was afraid, but I didn't hear any movement in the house, so I walked back and said, "Where did this hoof go?" went?When he saw Pearl, he said, "Have you seen Sister Yuanyang coming?"Pearl said: I am also looking for her, the ladies are waiting for her to talk.Must have fallen asleep in the suite?Amber said: I looked, there is no one in the house.There was no wax on the lamp, and it was so dark that I didn't go in.Now let's go in together and see if there is any.Amber waited to go in, holding wax flowers, Pearl said: Whoever put the footstool here almost tripped me.As she said that, she looked up, and with a groaning sound, she leaned back and landed on Hu Po's body with a thud.Amber saw it too, and yelled, but couldn't move her feet.

The people outside heard it too, and ran in to have a look. Everyone shouted and reported to Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang.When Mrs. Wang and Baochai heard this, they all cried and went to see it.Mrs. Xing said: "I didn't expect Yuanyang to have such ambition. Quickly ask someone to tell the master."Only Baoyu's eyes stood upright when he heard the letter.Xiren and others hurriedly supported her, and said, "Cry if you want to, don't hold your breath."Baoyu cried out desperately, thinking that a man like Yuanyang must die like this.I thought again: In fact, the aura between heaven and earth is only in favor of these women.She can be regarded as a place of death, whether we are a piece of dirt, or the children and grandchildren of the old lady, who can catch up with her?I like it again.At that time, when Baochai heard Baoyu crying, she also came out. When she came to him, she laughed again when she saw him.Xiren waited hurriedly and said, "It's not good, I'm going crazy again!"Baochai said: "It's okay, he has his own meaning."After hearing this, Baoyu liked Baochai's words even more: "But she still knows my heart, no one else knows!"Just as he was thinking wildly, Jia Zheng waited to come in, sighed really, and said, "Good boy, it's not in vain for the old lady to love her!"Immediately ordered Jia Lian: Go out and order people to buy a coffin overnight, and send it out with the old lady's funeral tomorrow, and stop behind the old lady's coffin, fulfilling her will.Jia Lian agreed to go out.Here people are ordered to put down the mandarin ducks and park them in the inner room.Ping'er knew it too, and when he came over, Xiren, Ying'er and the others all wept bitterly.Zijuan in Neizhong also remembered that she had nothing to do all her life, and wished she could go with Miss Lin, repay the kindness of master and servant, and get a place to die.Now hanging in Baoyu's house, although Baoyu is still tender and sweet, it is nothing after all, so she weeps even more mournfully.

Mrs. Wang sent a message to Yuanyang's sister-in-law to come in and asked her to watch the encoffining.Then he discussed with Mrs. Xing, and rewarded her sister-in-law one hundred taels of silver in the old lady's item, and said that he would give them all the things of Yuanyang when he was free.Her sister-in-law kowtowed and went out, instead she liked to say: Really, our girl is ambitious, talented, and has gained a good reputation and a good reputation.A woman next to me said: Come on, sister-in-law!Now you sold a living girl for a hundred silver and you liked it so much. Back then, you didn't know how much silver you got when you gave it to the old man. You should be even more proud.One sentence poked her sister-in-law's heart, and she blushed and walked away.As soon as she reached the second gate, she saw Lin Zhixiao bringing someone into the coffin, so she had no choice but to follow in, helping with the funeral, pretending to cry a few times.

Because Jia Zheng died for Jia's mother, he asked for incense, put on three sticks, made a bow, and said, "she is a buried person, so she should not be regarded as a girl."All of you younger generations should salute.When Baoyu heard this, he was overjoyed, and came up and kowtowed respectfully.Jia Lian also came up to salute because of her usual benefits, but Mrs. Xing said: "It's all right if you have a man, don't suffer that she will not be born again."It was inconvenient for Jia Lian to come over.When Baochai heard this, she felt very uncomfortable, so she said, "I shouldn't have saluted her, but since the old lady passed away, we all have unfinished business, so we dare not do anything wrong. She is willing to do my filial piety for us, so we should entrust her to her." Ask her to take good care of the old lady and go west for us, so don't do a little bit of heart!As she said, she helped Ying'er walk to the coffin, and while she was drinking, the tears had already flowed down.After the ceremony, he paid her respects a few times and cried hard for her.People also said that Baoyu's couple were fools, some said he was kind-hearted, and some said she was polite.On the contrary, Jia Zheng agreed.On the one hand, it was negotiated that the housekeepers would still be Sister Feng and Xichun, and the rest would be sent to accompany the spirits.

Who dares to sleep peacefully all night, one to five o'clock, I heard people outside.At the beginning of the morning, Jia Zheng was the elder, weeping and doing his utmost to be a filial son.After the coffin leaves the door, there will be road sacrifices from various families. The scenery along the way does not need to be described in detail.After walking for half a day, I came to Anling in Tiekan Temple. All filial men should stay with me in the temple, not to mention. Let's say that at home, Lin Zhixiao led the shed to be dismantled, the doors and windows were fixed, the yard was cleaned, and patrolmen were sent to watch at night.It's just the Rong Mansion's regulations, once there are two shifts, and the three doors are closed, men can't get in, and only women are inside to check the night.Although Sister Feng gradually became more refreshed after a night, it was just that she was moving there. Only Ping'er walked around with Xichun, and ordered the people who went to the night to go back to their rooms.

But Zhou Rui's godson, He San, was beaten up by Jia Zhen when Jia Zhen was in charge last year because he had a fight with Bao Er, and he was kicked out and spent all day in the casino.I know that Jia Mu is dead, and there must be some things to take care of. Unexpectedly, after searching for letters for a few days, I didn't think about anything, so I went back to the casino with a sigh and sat down sullenly.Those people then said: "Third brother, how are you?"Why don't you come down and make money?He Sandao: I want to make some money, but I just don't have money.Those people said: You went to your uncle Zhou for a few days, and you don't know how much money you got from the house, and you came to pretend to be poor with us again.He Sandao: You still say that their gold and silver have millions of millions, and they are just hidden for use.Keep it for tomorrow, if it is burned or stolen by thieves, they will give up.Those people said: You lied again, his house was stolen, how much gold and silver do you have?He Sandao: You don't know yet, what is copied cannot be discarded.Now that the old lady died, she still left a lot of gold and silver. They didn't use any of it, and kept it in the old lady's room until they returned from the funeral.

One of them heard it in his heart, rolled a few dice, and said: I lost a few money, and I didn't turn over the book, and went to sleep.As he said that, he came out and pulled He Sandao: "Sir, let me have a word with you."He San followed him out.The man said: You are such a smart person, so poor, why do you refuse to accept this tone.He Sandao: I am poor in life, but what can I do?The man said: You just said that the Rong Mansion has so much money, why don't you go and get some to order around?He Sandao: My brother!Although his family has a lot of gold and silver, if you and I ask for a dollar or two for nothing, will they give it to us?The man laughed and said: If he doesn't give it to us, won't we take it?He San heard that there was something in this remark, so he asked, "according to you, how can I get it?"The man said: I said you have no ability, if it were me, I would have brought it long ago.He Sandao: What skills do you have?The man said softly: If you want to make a fortune, you should lead me.I have quite a few friends who are all talented, not to mention that they have gone to the funeral, no matter how many men are left in the family, they are not afraid.I'm afraid you're not so bold.He Sandao: How dare you!Are you looking at me for fear of that old man?I only recognized him as my godmother because of the love of my godmother.Has he counted people again?What you said just now, I'm afraid that if you can't get it, it will lead to famine.Which yamen are they unfamiliar with?Don't say you can't get it, if you get it, you will make a fuss.The man said: So, your luck has come!My friends, as well as those on the beach, are all here now, watching the limelight and waiting for a door.If you get it, it's useless for you and me to be here, why don't you all go to sea and benefit from it?If you can't let go of your godmother, let's simply take your godmother along, and let's all have a good time, okay?He Sandao: Boss, don't you be drunk?What are these words talking about.As he said that, he dragged the man to a secluded place, the two of them discussed it for a while, and each went separately.Let's not mention it for now. In addition, Bao Yong was called out by Jia Zheng and sent to see the garden. When Jia Mu's business came out, he was too busy and never sent him.He doesn't care about it, he always eats by himself, sleeps when bored, and plays with knives and sticks in the garden when he wakes up, but he doesn't feel restrained. That day, Jia's mother went to the funeral early in the morning. Although he knew it, he wandered around at will because he was not sent on an errand.I saw a nun bring a Taoist woman to the waist gate of the garden and knock on it.Bao Yong came and said, "Master, where are you going?"Dao Po said: "I heard that the old lady's business is over today, and I don't see the fourth girl attending the funeral. She must be looking after the house at home."Miss her lonely, our master came to see her.Bao Yong said: "My master is not at home. I saw the gate of the garden. Please go back."If you want to come, come again when the masters come back.The mother-in-law said, "Where are you a black charcoal head?"We also have to control our movements.Bao Yong said: "I dislike you people. If I don't ask you to come, what can you do?"The mother-in-law got angry and shouted: This is all against the sky!Even the old lady can't stop us from going around in Japan. You are such a tyrannical bandit there, so you can't do anything about it?I'm going to hit here!As he spoke, he slammed his hand on the door knocker several times.Miaoyu was so angry that she didn't speak, and was about to turn around and leave. Unexpectedly, the woman who was watching the second door seemed to hear someone quarreling. She opened the door and saw that it was Miaoyu. She turned around and walked away, knowing that Bao Yong must have offended .Recently, the women all know that the wives above and the fourth girl are very close. They are afraid that she will say that she will not let her in in the future, how can they bear it then?He hurried over and said, "I didn't know Master was coming, we opened the door late."Our four girls are at home, and we are still missing Master, please come back quickly.The kid who looks after the garden is a newcomer, he doesn't know about us, so he came back to his wife, beat him up, kicked him out and that's it.Although Miaoyu heard it, she always ignored her.The old lady who could stand the waist door caught up and begged again and again, and finally said that she was afraid that she would not be responsible, and almost knelt down in a hurry.Miaoyu had no choice but to follow the woman.Seeing such a scene, Bao Yong couldn't stop him any more, so he turned back with a sigh and stare. Here Miaoyu took Daopo to Xichun's place, expressed her annoyance and talked some gossip.Speaking of: Watching the house at home, I had to stay up for a few nights.But the second grandmother was ill, bored and scared all by herself.I'm relieved to have someone here.Now there is not a single man in it.Now that you are here today, you are willing to stay with me all night. Let's play chess and talk, can you do it?Miaoyu refused at first, but when she saw that Xichun was pitiful, she brought up playing chess again, and agreed for a while.Send the Taoist woman back, take her tea set, clothes and mattress, and order the servant to bring them over, and we sit and talk all night.Xichun was very lucky, so she ordered Caiping to turn on the rain from last year and prepare tea.That Miaoyu has her own tea set.Not long after the Taoist woman left, another waiter came and brought Miaoyu's daily necessities.Xichun cooks the tea herself.The two chattered for a long time.At that time, it was the beginning of the shift, the color screen put down the chessboard, and the two played chess.Xichun lost two games in a row, Miaoyu conceded another four, and Xichun won the half. At this time, it was the fourth watch, the sky was vast, and everything was silent.Miaoyu said: "I have to meditate once at five o'clock. I have someone to serve me, and you go to rest yourself."Xichun still doesn't want to give up, seeing Miaoyu wants to rest by herself, so it's inconvenient to twist her.Just about to take a rest, I suddenly heard people shouting in the night from the house on the east side.The old wives at Xichun's place also shouted, "Amazing!"There are people!Xichun, Caiping and the others were scared to death, when they heard the man outside at night shouting.Miaoyu said: "It's not good!"There must be a thief here.Just as I was talking, I didn't dare to open the door here, so I covered the light, and looked out of the window. There were only a few men standing in the courtyard, so scared that they didn't dare to make a sound. There were several big men standing outside.Before he had finished talking, he heard the sound from the room, and people from outside at night came in to yell for the thief.One person said: "All the things in the house were lost, and no one was seen."Someone has gone to the east, let's go to the west.When Xichun's old lady heard that there were people of her own, she said in the outer room: "Many people here have taken to the house."Everyone who went to the night said: "Look, isn't this?"Everyone shouted together.Just hearing a lot of tiles flying down from the room, no one dared to go forward. Just being helpless, I only heard a loud bang at the waist gate of the garden gate. When I entered the gate, I saw a tall man with a stick in his hand.The crowd was too scared to hide, and the man shouted: Don't let one of them run away!You all come with me.After hearing this, these family members became more and more frightened, and couldn't even run.I saw this person standing there, just shouting.A sharp-eyed member of the family saw it, who do you think?It was Bao Yong recommended by the Zhen family.These family members felt courageous, and said tremblingly: "One of them is gone, and some are in the house."Bao Yong threw himself to the ground, shrugged his body, and chased after the thief.These thieves knew that there was no one in Jia's house, so they peeked at Xichun's room in the courtyard first, and saw a stunning nun, so they became lustful, and they bullied that the house was full of women, and they were afraid, so they were about to kick in the door, because they heard outside. Someone came in to chase, so the thieves went to the house.Seeing that there were not many people, they still wanted to resist, but when they suddenly saw a person rushing to the house, the thieves saw that it was only one person, and they became more unreasonable, so they resisted with short soldiers.Then Bao Yong beat him hard with a stick, knocking the thief out of the house.The thieves ran away and passed by the garden wall. Bao Yong also chased them from the house.Unexpectedly, there were a few hidden in the garden to pick up the stolen goods, and many of them had already been taken. Seeing the thieves running back, everyone raised their weapons to protect them.When Bao Yong saw it, he said angrily: "These thieves!"Dare to fight with me!The gang said: "One of our guys was knocked down by them, and he didn't know what to do, so we simply snatched him out."Here Bao Yong heard the sound and started to fight, and the gang of thieves picked up their weapons, and four or five people surrounded Bao Yong and started fighting.The people outside at night also rushed over bravely.Seeing that they couldn't fight him, the thieves had to run away.When Bao Yong was about to catch up, he was tripped by a box. When he stopped to look at it, he thought that the things had not been lost, and the thieves had fled far away, so he did not pursue them.He asked everyone to light the lamps.There were only a few empty boxes on the ground, and he asked someone to clean them up, so he wanted to run back to the upper room.Because I didn't know the way, I went to Sister Feng's side and saw the bright lights inside, so I asked, "Is there a thief here?"Ping'er inside said tremblingly, "I didn't open the door here. I just heard shouts from the upper room saying that there are thieves. Go there."Bao Yong was at a loss for the way, when he saw the people from Shangye approaching from afar, he followed them to the Shangwu.Seeing that the door was opened, those who went to night were crying there. All of a sudden, Jia Yun and Lin Zhixiao came in. Seeing that it was stolen, everyone was anxious.After checking inside, the door of the old lady's room was wide open, and the light was turned on, and the lock was twisted.When I went inside, I saw that the cabinet had been opened, so I scolded those last night women and said, "Are you all dead?"Thieves come in, don't you know?The people who went to the night cried and said: We all took turns to go to the night, and we were in charge of the second and third shifts. We didn't stop, we walked back and forth.They are four and five, our off-duty children.I only heard them shouting, but no one was seen.I rushed to take care of it, but I didn't know when the things had already been lost.I beg the man to ask about the fourth and fifth watch.Lin Zhixiao said: You are all going to die!Let's talk about it when we come back, let's look around first.The man from last night led him to You Shi's side, the door was closed tightly, and several voices answered: "You're scaring us to death."Lin Zhixiao asked: Is there anything missing here?The person inside opened the door and said, "There is nothing missing here."Lin Zhixiao led the people into the Xichun Courtyard, only to hear the inside saying: "Amazing!"Scared the girl to death, wake up!Lin Zhixiao asked someone to open the door and asked what was the matter.The woman inside opened the door and said: The thieves are fighting here, and they frighten the girls to death.Thanks to Master Miao and Cai Ping, the girl was rescued.Nothing is lost.Lin Zhixiao: How do thieves fight?The man last night said, "Fortunately, Uncle Bao went to the room and beat the thief away, and I heard someone knocked down."Bao Yong said: "It's at the gate of the garden."When Jia Yun walked over there, she saw a person lying dead on the ground.Take a closer look, it looks like Zhou Rui's godson.Everyone was surprised when they saw it, so they sent one person to guard and two people to look after the front and back doors, but they were still locked. Lin Zhixiao asked someone to open the door, reported to the battalion officer, and came to investigate immediately.To check the thief's trail, he went to the house from the back road.When I arrived at the west courtyard house, I saw that the Nawa was broken and went all the way through the back garden.All Shang Ye said in unison: "This is not a thief, but a robber."The battalion officer said anxiously: "If you don't hold a stick with an open fire, how can you be considered a robber?"Shang Ye said: "We chased away the thief. He threw tiles on the house. We couldn't come near. Fortunately, our family's surname Bao went to the house to fight back."When they rushed to the garden, there were still several thieves who fought against Bao. They couldn't beat Bao, so they all ran away.The battalion official said: "But come again, if it's a robber, can't you beat your people?"Needless to say, you quickly checked the things and handed over the lost order, we just report it. When Jia Yun went to the upper room again, she saw Sister Feng coming to help her sick, and Xichun also came.Jia Yun invited Sister Feng's Ann and Xichun's hello, and everyone checked the lost property.Because the mandarin duck is dead, Hu Po and others have sent their spirits away again. Those things belong to the old lady, and I haven't seen them, so I just need to block them. Where can I find them now?Everyone said: There are a lot of things in the cabinet, but now it is empty.There is a lot of stealing, what do those people who go to the night care about?Besides, the thief who was killed was Zhou Rui's godson, so they must be in the same spirit.After hearing this, Sister Feng stared angrily, and said, "Tie up all the women who went to the night and hand them over to the camp for interrogation."Everyone complained and knelt down and begged.I don't know how to distribute it, and whether the lost things are found or not will be decomposed next time.
