Dream of Red Mansions 曹雪芹 7090Words 2023-02-05
It is said that Aunt Zhao got a sudden illness in the temple. Seeing that there were fewer people, she even talked nonsense, scaring everyone into a daze.There were two women supporting her, and Aunt Zhao knelt on the ground, talking and crying once.Sometimes they crawled underground and begged for mercy, saying: Kill me, old man with a red beard, I dare not do it again!Sometimes it hurts to clasp your hands together.The eyes protrude, the mouth is bloody, and the hair is loose.Everyone is afraid and dare not approach.At that time, it was getting late again, and Aunt Zhao's voice became hoarse, like howling like a ghost.No one dared to stand in front of her, so she had to call a few brave men to come in and sit down.Aunt Zhao died for a while, and came back after a while, making a whole night of trouble.

On the second day, she didn't speak a word, just put on a grimace, and tore off her clothes with her own hands, exposing her chest, as if someone had stripped her.Although poor Aunt Zhao couldn't tell, her pain was really embarrassing.He was in critical condition, and the doctor came, but he didn't dare to diagnose the pulse. He only told him to do the funeral. , said, got up and left.The family who sent the doctor begged again and again, saying: Please take a look at the pulse, the young one can report back to the master.The doctor touched it with his hand, but there was no pulse.After hearing this, Jia Huan burst into tears.Everyone only cares about Jia Huan, who takes care of Aunt Zhao.Only Aunt Zhou was distressed and thought: the end of being a concubine is nothing more than that.What's more, she still has a son, I don't know what to do when I die in the future!So weep bitterly.

Besides, the man rushed home to report, so Jia Zheng sent his family to take care of it as usual, stayed with Huan'er for three days, and came back together.That person went, here one person spreads the word to ten people, and ten people spreads it to a hundred people. They all know that Aunt Zhao has played a malicious role in harming others and was tortured to death in the underworld.He also said that it was Lian's second grandma who might not get better, so why did Lian's second grandma sue?These words reached Ping'er's ears, and she was very anxious. Looking at Sister Feng's appearance, she really couldn't be better.Seeing that Jia Lian's recent days are not as loving as before, there are many things that have nothing to do with him.Ping'er just comforts Sister Feng.Thinking about Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang returning home for a few days, they only sent someone to ask, but did not come to see them in person.Sister Feng felt even more miserable.Jia Lian didn't have a thoughtful word when he came back.

At this time, Sister Feng only wanted to die quickly, and when she thought about it, the evil spirits had arrived.I saw Second Sister You coming from the back of the room, approaching the bed, and said: "Sister, I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you very much as a younger sister. If you want to see her, you can't see her. Now it's so hard to come in and see your older sister."My sister's scheming has also been exhausted. Our second master is confused and doesn't accept my sister's favor. Instead, he blames my sister for being too harsh and ruining his future, making him shameful now.I am angry for my sister.Sister Feng said in a trance: "Now I also regret that my heart is too narrow."My sister doesn't miss the old evil, she still comes to see me.Ping'er heard it and said, "What did grandma say?"When Sister Feng woke up for a while, she remembered that Sister You was dead, and she must have come to claim her life.After being woken up by Ping'er, I was afraid and refused to speak out, so I had to forcefully say: I'm in a state of confusion, I think it's just talking in my sleep.Thump me.Ping'er went up to beat, and saw a little girl come in, saying that it was Grandma Liu, and the women brought her to invite grandma's Ann.Ping'er hurried down and said, "Where is it?"The little girl said: She didn't dare to come in, and she listened to grandma's instructions.Ping'er listened and nodded, thinking that Sister Feng must be too lazy to see people in her illness, so she said: "Grandma is resting now, let her wait for now."Did you ask her what's the matter?The little girl said: They asked, and it's all right.He said that he knew that the old lady had passed away, but he was late because he didn't report it.The little girl was talking, and when Sister Feng heard it, she called Ping'er, come here.People come to watch with kindness, don't be indifferent to them.You go and invite Grandma Liu in, and I will talk to her.Ping'er had no choice but to come out and invite grandma Liu to sit here.Just as Sister Feng was about to close her eyes, she saw a man and a woman walking towards the kang, as if they were about to get on the kang.Sister Feng was busy, so she called Ping'er and said, "Where is a man coming here?"After calling twice, Feng'er and Xiaohong rushed over and said, "What does grandma want?"Sister Feng opened her eyes and saw no one was there. She knew it in her heart and refused to say it, so she asked Feng'er, "Where did Ping'er go?"Feng'er said: "Didn't grandma ask to invite grandma Liu?"Sister Feng settled down for a while, but said nothing.

I saw Ping'er and Grandma Liu brought a little girl in and said, "Where is our aunt?"When Ping'er led to the Kang, Grandma Liu said, "please be well, auntie."Sister Feng opened her eyes and felt a burst of sadness, and said, "Grandma, how are you?"Why did you come here at this time?You see your granddaughter has grown so big.Grandma Liu looked at Sister Feng's skinny face with a trance-like expression, and she felt miserable, and said: "My grandma, why have I not seen you for a few months, and she is so sick!"I'm so confused, why didn't I come to greet my aunt earlier!Then he asked Qing'er to greet his aunt.Qing'er just laughed. Sister Feng saw it and liked it very much, so she asked Xiaohong to greet her.Grandma Liu said: "People in our village don't get sick. If they get sick, they ask God to make a wish. They never know how to take medicine."I don't think my aunt's illness should hit anything?Ping'er didn't care about what she said, so she talked about her behind her back.Grandma Liu understood, so she didn't speak.Knowing that this sentence suits Sister Feng's wishes, she struggled and said, "Grandma, you are an old man, and you are right."The Aunt Zhao you met is also dead, did you know that?Grandma Liu was surprised and said: Amitabha!Why did he die when he was alone?I remember that she also has a little brother, so what's the matter?Ping'er said: "What are you afraid of? He still has a master and a wife."Grandma Liu said: "Girl, how do you know that it's not good to die because it's your own, and it's useless to be separated from the belly."This sentence aroused Sister Feng's sadness again, and she began to cry.Everyone came to persuade.

When Sister Qiao heard her mother crying, she went to the kang, took Sister Feng's hand with her hand, and cried too.Sister Feng cried and said, "Have you seen grandma?"Sister Qiao said: "No."Sister Feng said: "Your name was given by her, just like the godmother, please give her a blessing."Sister Qiao walked up to her, and Grandma Liu hurriedly said: "Amitabha, don't kill me!"Qiao girl, I haven't come here for more than a year, do you still recognize me?Sister Qiao said, "Why don't you recognize it?"When we met in the garden that year, I was still young; when you came the year before last, I asked you for the grasshopper of the next year, but you didn't give it to me, so you must have forgotten it.Grandma Liu said: "My good girl, I'm getting old and confused."If you talk about grasshoppers, there are many in our village, but they don't go there. If they go, it's easy to get a car.Sister Feng said, "Otherwise, you can take her with you."Grandma Liu said with a smile: "Young girl is so rich and expensive. She is wrapped in silk and eats good food. When I get to our place, what should I use to coax her and give her food?"Didn't this kill me!As she spoke, she still laughed, and she said: Then, let me be a matchmaker for the girl.Although our place is a village, there are also wealthy owners with thousands of hectares of land, hundreds of livestock, and a lot of silver and money, but it's not like here that there are gold and jade.Aunt and grandma look down on this kind of family. We Zhuang family look at such a rich man, and we can be regarded as people in heaven.Sister Feng said: "Go ahead, I will give it if I want."Grandma Liu said: "It's just a joke!"Putting aunts like this, I am afraid that people in high officials and big mansions will not give it to them, but they will give it to the Zhuang family.Even if my aunt agreed, the wives above would not give it.Qiaojie went to talk to Qing'er because her words were not pleasant.The two girls, to say the least, gradually became acquainted.

Here, Ping'er was afraid that grandma Liu would talk too much and disturb Sister Feng, so she pulled grandma Liu and said, "you mentioned your wife, but you haven't gone there yet."I went out and asked someone to take you to meet, and it was not in vain to come here.Grandma Liu is leaving.Sister Feng said: "What are you busy with?"Sit down, let me ask you, how are you doing these days?Grandma Liu said thankfully, "If we don't rely on my aunt, point to Qing'er and say: Her mother will starve to death."Now, although the farmer's family is suffering, the family has earned several acres of land, dug a well, and planted some vegetables, melons and fruits. The annual sales are quite a lot, which is enough for them to chew and eat.In the past two years, my aunt often gave me some clothes and cloth, which is not bad in our village.Amitabha!The day before yesterday, her father went to the city, and when I heard that my aunt moved here, I was almost scared to death.Fortunately, someone said that it is not here, so I am relieved.Later, I heard that the master here has been promoted, and I like it again, so I want to come to congratulate him, because the crops are all over the ground, but I can't come.Yesterday I heard that the old lady was gone.I was beating beans in the field, and when I heard this, I was so frightened that I couldn't even pick up the beans, so I cried hard in the field.My son-in-law and I said: I don't care about you anymore, no matter the truth or lies, I'm going to the city to have a look.My daughter and son-in-law are not unconscionable either, and cried once when they heard it.Before dawn today, they drove me into the city.I don't know anyone, and I have nowhere to ask.When I came all the way to the back door, I saw that the door god was confused, and I was quite frightened.I entered the door to look for Mrs. Zhou, but I couldn't find it. I ran into a little girl and said that Mrs. Zhou had something wrong, so she kicked her out.I waited for a long time again, and I had to come in when I met someone I knew.My aunt is so sick even if I don't look at her.As he spoke, he shed tears again.Ping'er waited in a hurry, and without waiting for her to finish speaking, she pulled her away and said, "Your mouth is dry after talking for a long time, let's have a bowl of tea."He took grandma Liu to sit in the servant's room, and Qing'er was beside sister Qiao.Grandma Liu said: "I don't want tea, my good girl. Ask someone to take me to please my wife's Ann. Let the old lady cry."Ping'er said: "Don't be busy, you won't be able to get out of the city today."Just now I was afraid that your words would make our grandma cry, so I urged you to come out.Don't think about it.Grandma Liu said: "Amitabha, I know that you are paranoid, girl."But how is grandma's illness getting better?Ping'er said: "Do you see that it's getting in the way?"Grandma Liu said: "It's a crime, I don't think so."

Just as I was talking, I heard Sister Feng calling again.When Ping'er reached the bed, Sister Feng was silent again.Ping'er was asking Feng'er when Jia Lian came in, looked at the kang, went inside without saying a word, and sat down angrily.Only Qiutong followed in, poured tea, was courteous for a while, and chattered something.When he came back, Jia Lian asked Ping'er to ask, "Does grandma not take medicine?"Ping'er said, "Don't take medicine."how is it?Jia Lian said: "I know!"You take the key from the cabinet.Seeing that Jia Lian was angry, Ping'er didn't dare to ask, so she came out and whispered in Sister Feng's ear.Sister Feng said nothing, so Ping'er put a box with Jia Lian and left.Jia Lian said, "Is there a ghost calling you?"Who do you ask to take it?Ping'er endured his anger and opened it, took the key, opened the cabinet, and asked, "What are you taking?"Jia Lian said, "Do we have anything?"Ping'er was so angry that he cried: "If you have something to say, you are willing to die!"Jia Lian said, "what else to say!"It's you who made the trouble.Now the old lady is still short of four or five thousand silver, the master told me to use the land tent in the public house to get the silver, do you think there is?The account pulled outside is not developed, so?Who told me to take this name!I had no choice but to fold what the old lady gave me.Don't you agree?After hearing this, Ping'er didn't say a word, and took out the things in the cabinet.I saw Xiaohong coming over and saying: Sister Ping, go away!Grandma is not good.Ping'er didn't care about Jia Lian, so he came over in a hurry. Seeing Sister Feng grabbing her empty hand, Ping'er was holding her hand and crying.Jia Lian also came over to have a look, stomped his foot and said, "If so, it will kill me!"Said, shed tears.Feng'er came in and said: I'm looking for the second master outside.Jia Lian had to go out.

Sister Feng is getting worse here, and Feng'er and others can't help crying.Qiaojie heard and rushed over.Grandma Liu also hurried to the kang, chanted Buddha in her mouth, and made some tricks. Sure enough, Sister Feng was better.For a while, Mrs. Wang came over after hearing the girl's letter. Seeing that Sister Feng was quieter, she felt relieved. When she saw Grandma Liu, she said, "How are you, Grandma Liu?"When did you come?Grandma Liu then said, "Madam please be well."I don't have time to go into details, but I only talk about Sister Feng's illness.After thinking about it for a long time, Caiyun came in and said, "The master invites his wife."Mrs. Wang gave Ping'er a few words, and then passed.

Sister Feng made a fuss, but now she feels more clearly.Seeing Grandma Liu here, I believed in her heart that she was praying to God, so she sent Feng Er and others away, asked Grandma Liu to sit by her head, and told her that she was restless, as if seeing a ghost.Grandma Liu then said that there are some Bodhisattva spirits and temples in our village that have a sense of them.Sister Feng said, "Please pray for me. I have the money for the offering."Then he took off a gold bracelet from his wrist and handed it to him.Grandma Liu said: "Auntie, don't use that."People in our village made a wish, well, just spend a few hundred dollars, then use these!Even if I beg for my aunt, it is also a wish.When my aunt is well, if you want to spend something, you can spend it yourself.Sister Feng knew that Grandma Liu had good intentions and she couldn't force her to do so, so she had to stay and said, "Grandma, my life is in your hands."My sister Qiao is also suffering from all kinds of disasters and diseases, so I leave it to you.Grandma Liu agreed, and said, "Well, I think the weather is still early and I can't go out of the city, so I will go."Aunt Ming'er is well, please go to fulfill your vow.Sister Feng was afraid of being entangled by all the ghosts, so she wished she would go, so she said: "If you will work hard for me, I can sleep peacefully, and I will be grateful to you."Your granddaughter, tell her to stay here.Grandma Liu said: "The children of the banker have never seen the world, so they are here to chatter."I did well with her.Sister Feng said, "That's overthinking."Since we are a family, what are we afraid of?Although we are poor, it doesn't matter if one more person eats.Seeing Sister Feng's true love, grandma Liu asked Qing'er to stay for a few days, saving the family from chewing and eating.I'm afraid Qing'er won't, why don't you ask her to ask, if she is willing, then stay.So I said a few words to Qing'er.Qing'er is familiar with sister Qiao, but sister Qiao doesn't want her to go, and Qing'er wants to be here.Grandma Liu then gave some instructions, resigned from Ping'er, and hurried out of the city.do not mention.

Let's say that Changcui nunnery was originally the address of Jia's mansion. Because it was built as a provincial garden, the nunnery was enclosed in it, and they always ate incense and did not use Jia's money and food.Today Miaoyu was robbed, and the nun reported it to the officials. One was waiting for the whereabouts of the robbers seized by the government, and the other was Miaoyu's foundation.At that time, although everyone in Jia's mansion knew about Jia Zheng's new funeral, and they were worried, they did not dare to report these unimportant things.Only Xichun knew about it, and she was restless day and night.Gradually it spread to Baoyu's ears, saying: Miaoyu was robbed by thieves.Another said: Miao Yufan was moved and followed others.When Baoyu heard this, he was very puzzled: he must have been robbed by strong men.This person will not accept it, and he will die unyielding.But there was nothing left, and I was very worried, and I sighed and sighed every day.He also said: such a person, who calls himself an outsider, how could he end up like this!I thought again: how lively the garden was that day.Since the second elder sister came out of the court, she died and married, I thought she was spotless, and she could be kept. Who would have thought that the sudden turmoil would be even more strange than sister Lin's death!From one to two, two to three, when I think about it, I think of the words in "Zhuangzi", it is illusory, life is alive, it is inevitable that the wind will be scattered, and I can't help crying.Xiren and others also said that it was his madness attack, and they tried every means to persuade him gently. At the beginning, Baochai didn't know why, but she also used words and precepts.Unexpectedly, Baoyu was depressed and puzzled, and felt in a trance.Baochai couldn't think of a reason, so after asking again and again, she found out that Miaoyu had been robbed and disappeared, which was also sad.Just worrying about Baoyu, he explained it with correct words.Because it was mentioned: Lan'er came back from the funeral. Although she didn't go to school, she was struggling day and night because of the smell.He is the grandson of the old lady.The old lady has always wanted you to be an adult, the master is worried about you day and night, you are infatuated with leisure and spoil yourself, what is the result of us guarding you?So Baoyu was speechless to answer, and after a while, he said, "I'm in charge of other people's business?"I can only lament the decline of our family's luck.Baochai said: "But here again, the master and wife wanted you to become an adult and continue the legacy of your ancestors. You are just obsessed with it. What should you do?"Baoyu heard that the words were not speculative, so he leaned on the table and fell asleep.Baochai ignored him and asked Sheyue to wait on him, but went to sleep by herself. Seeing that there were few people in the room, Baoyu thought: "When Zijuan came here, I never said a word of affection to her. I felt very sorry for leaving her alone.As for her, she can't compare to Musk Moon and Autumn Pattern, so I can put her in place.Thinking back to when I was sick, she stayed with me for a long time, and now her little mirror is still with me, but her affection is not weak.Now I don't know why, but seeing me is cold.As for us, she is the best with Sister Lin, and I think she treats Zijuan well.When I was not at home, Zicuckoo also talked to her; when I came, Zicuckoo went away.Naturally, it was because of Sister Lin's death that I became a family.Hey, Rhododendron, Rhododendron!You are such a smart girl, can't you even see the difficulty of my idea!Yin thought again: Tonight they sleep and work, why not take advantage of this time, I will go to her and see what she has to say?If there is something wrong with me, it is okay to accompany me.After making up his mind, he quietly walked out of the room and came to find Zijuan. The Zijuan's servant is also in the west wing.Baoyu quietly went to the window, and saw that there was still a light inside, so he licked the broken window paper with his tongue, and looked inside, and saw Zijuan sitting there blankly, carrying the lamp alone.Baoyu called softly, "Sister Zijuan, haven't you slept yet?"When Zicuckoo heard this, she was taken aback. She was in a daze for a long time before she said, "Who is it?"Baoyu said, "It's me."Zijuan listened, it seemed to be Baoyu's voice, and asked, "Is it the second master Bao?"Baoyu agreed softly outside.Zicuckoo asked: What are you doing here?Baoyu said, "I have something in my heart to tell you. You open the door, and I'll sit in your room."Zicuckoo stopped for a while and said, "What do you want to say? It's getting late. Please go back and talk about it tomorrow."When Baoyu heard this, he was half cold.I still want to go in, fearing that Zijuan may not open the door; if I want to go back, this hidden feeling in my belly is more and more aroused by Zijuan's words.Reluctantly, he said: I don't have any extra words, I just ask you one question.Zicuckoo said: "Since it's a sentence, please say it."Baoyu was silent for a long time. Zijuan didn't see Baoyu's words in the room, and knew that he had always been demented. I'm afraid he might have robbed him for a while and brought back his old illness. Are you leaving, or are you just standing there?I don't say anything, I just do my best to vomit people here.One has already vomited to death, should another one be vomited to death?Why bother!As he said, he also looked out from the place where Baoyu had licked the hole, and saw Baoyu listening there.It's inconvenient for Zicuckoo to talk about it, so she turned around and cut the candle flowers.Suddenly Baoyu sighed and said, "Sister Zijuan, you have never been so hard-hearted. Why don't you even say a good word to me recently?"Although I'm a filth, I don't deserve you to talk to me, but what's wrong with me, I just hope my sister can explain it, even if my sister ignores me for the rest of my life, I'll be a fool when I die!After hearing this, Zijuan sneered and said, "That's what the second master said. What else?"If this is the case, when our girl is around, I will follow the custom; if there is any harm to us, I am sent by my wife, but the second master will go back to my wife, and it is nothing to influence us girls!When he said this, his voice choked up, and he blew his nose again as he spoke.Baoyu knew that she was crying when he was outside, so he stamped his feet anxiously and said, "How do you say that!"My business, you have been here for a few months, what else do you not know?Even if others refuse to tell you for me, why don't you tell me to tell me, and make me suffocate to death!As he spoke, he also sobbed. Baoyu was sad here, when suddenly he heard a person behind him answering, "Who do you ask to speak for you?"Who is whose what?If you offend someone, you should take care of yourself. It's up to others to reward you, so why bother to take care of us insignificant ones!This sentence startled both inside and outside.Who do you know?It turned out to be the Musk Moon.Baoyu felt that his face was boring.Musk Moon said again, "What's going on?"One is not with me, and the other is ignoring.You are so quick and ready.Ai!Our Zijuan sister is too cruel, it is so strangely cold outside, people have been waiting for a long time, and there is no energy to move.Then he said to Baoyu, "The second grandma said just now, how late it is, and looking at where you are, what are you doing standing under the eaves alone?"Zicuckoo went on to say: What does this mean?I have invited the second master to go in a long time ago. If I have something to say, I will talk about it tomorrow.Why bother! Baoyu still wanted to talk, but seeing Sheyue was there, it was hard to say anything else, so he walked back with Sheyue and said, "That's all, that's all!"It's hard for me to confess my heart in this life!Only God knows!Speaking of this, the tears came from nowhere, and they continued to flow.Musk moon said: "Second master, according to my advice, you should give up your mind."It's a pity to accompany the tears in vain.Baoyu didn't answer, so he went into the house.I saw that Baochai was asleep, and Baoyu knew that Baochai was pretending to be asleep.But Xiren said: "What can I say tomorrow?"Baba'er ran there to make trouble, and when the trouble came to this point, he refused to say it. After a while, he continued, "Do you feel anything wrong with your body?"Baoyu didn't say a word, just shook his head, and then sent Xiren to sleep.No sleep all night, needless to say. Here Zicuckoo was tricked by Baoyu, and she felt more and more uncomfortable, and cried all night.After thinking about it: Baoyu knew that he couldn't understand it when he was ill, so everyone played ghosts and gods.Later, Baoyu understood that the old illness relapsed and she often cried and thought, but she was not a ungrateful person.Today's kind of tenderness makes people feel uncomfortable. It's only pity that Miss Lin really has no luck to endure him.From this point of view, there is a certain fate in life, and before the end, everyone is wishful thinking.Even helpless, those who are confused will ignore it, and those who are deeply affectionate are just facing the wind and facing the moon, shedding tears and mourning.The poor one who died may not know it, but the living one is really distressed and sad, and there is no end to it.It is not as good as grass, trees and stones, ignorant and unconscious, but it is also pure in heart!Thinking of this, my sour and hot heart was frozen for a moment.Just when I was about to pack up and go to sleep, I only heard the noise in the east courtyard.I don't know what happened, I will break it down next time.
