Excerpts from the original collection of A Dream of Red Mansions

Without saying a word, I heard someone in the backyard laughing and saying, "I'm late, and I didn't meet a guest from afar!" " "These people are holding their breath," Daiyu said. "。 They are so respectful and strict. Who are these people who are so rude to celebrate birthdays? "I thought, I saw a group of daughter-in-law and girl holding a person around, come in through the back door. This person's dress is different from other girls, colorful embroidery is dazzling, as if she were a fairy princess: wearing a golden eight-treasure pearl and holding a five-phoenix pearl hairpin, facing the sunrise; With a red gold plate around his neck; The skirt is tied with a bean green palace sash, and the roses are double balanced; Put on a wisp

Kingdee wore a narrow coat with bright red satin and a brightly colored carved azurite silver mouse jacket. Under the jade crepe skirt A pair of red phoenix triangular eyes, two curved willow leaves hanging from the eyebrows, slim and enchanting, pink face full of spring, red lips smelling before laughing. Daiyu quickly got up to meet her. Grandmother Jia said with a smile, "You don't know him. He is a famous rascal here and is called a writer in all southern provinces. " Pepper? Did you call him just now? Feng Chili pepper? It is. Daiyu didn't know her name, so all the sisters quickly said, "This is Sister Lian. "。 "Daiyu didn't know it, but she heard from her mother that Jia Lian, Jia She's son, married a niece of his second aunt Wang, a man who grew up and whose scientific name was Wang Xifeng. . Daiyu smiled at the ceremony and called it "Sister-in-law". Xi-feng took Daiyu's hand, looked her up and down carefully, and then sent the old lady to sit down, because she said with a smile, "There are such beautiful people in the world, and I just met them today! And this perfect style is not like the grandson of our ancestors, but actually the granddaughter of our first relative. I can't blame our ancestors for not forgetting them every day. I only pity my sister for being so miserable that my aunt is dead! " With that, he wiped his tears with a handkerchief. Grandmother Jia said with a smile, "I'm fine. You're here to recruit me. Your sister came from a long way and was weak, so you advised her. Don't say it early. Hearing this, Xi-feng quickly turned grief into joy and said, "Exactly! As soon as I saw my sister, I was all over him, loving and sad, and even forgot my ancestors. Fight, fight! With that, she took Daiyu's hand and asked, "How old is my sister?" ? Did you go to school? What medicine are you taking now? Don't be homesick here. Just tell me what you want to eat and play. Girls and wives are not good. Tell me. "At the same time, he asked the old lady," Miss Lin's luggage can be moved in? How many people did you bring? You should clean the two rooms early and let him have a rest.

2. A thousand miles away from the east wind dreams

It is said that Baoyu gradually recovered after his illness, but his spirituality was unfortunately not as good as before. One day, Jia Zheng went to Jiangxi to transport grain and was reading in his study. Suddenly, he received a letter from Zhou Qiong, an official guarding the coast, saying that he was looking for relatives and friends for his son. Jia Zheng thought that the two families were family friends and both were officials in Beijing. After meeting the children, the two were quite close, and their personalities matched Tanchun. That is, I wrote a letter to discuss with the grandmother and Mrs. Wang. Grandma Jia said that it is good to be a fellow countryman, but now the home is far away at sea and the road is too far. Isn't Tanchun lonely? Mrs. Wang said that both are officials and may be transferred back in the future. Besides, Jia Zheng is an official there now, and the boss is asking for relatives and friends, so it is not easy to refuse. "I hope so," said Grandmother Jia. . It's just that all three girls are gone. I wonder if it is possible for them to go home in two or three years. If it's any later, I'm afraid I won't see you. "He said, while shed tears. Mrs. Wang tried her best to persuade her, asking the old lady to show her, choose a good day and send someone to explore the spring. Lady Jia ordered Mrs. Wang to take full charge of the cooking.

Hearing this, Baochai secretly complained, "Although she is the daughter of our family, she is going to marry far away now. It seems that there are fewer and fewer people here every day." Hearing this, Baoyu sighed and cried on the kang. After a long time, he said, "What a terrible life! Sisters are scattered one by one! Lin's elder sister and elder sister are both dead, and the second sister married an asshole and died. Third sister is going to marry far away, and the elder sister doesn't know where to go! " Tanchun knew that his parents' orders could not be disobeyed, only that he was sad and secretly shed tears.

Everything was ready, and Mrs. Wang asked Baochai to persuade Tanchun. The next day, Tanchun was about to get up and come to say goodbye to Baoyu. Baoyu was inseparable. Tanchun said some common words and comforted him. Finally, Tanchun said goodbye to everyone and left with tears.

Previously, all the sisters lived in the Grand View Garden, but after Yuan Fei's death, they didn't repair it. After Baoyu got married,

Lin Daiyu died, Shi Xiangyun went back, and others went back separately, leaving only Li Wan and He Chun. The garden was lonely and the weather was cold, so the three of them moved back to their old place. Only a few garden keepers live in the garden. It is a pity that the once prosperous Grand View Garden has gradually deserted, but the pavilions are still much transformed and desolate.

Wangxifeng Nongquan Tiejian Temple

Xi Feng sat for a while, then went back to the clean room to rest, and old ni saw her off. At this time, many wives and daughters-in-law saw that it was nothing, and they all dispersed and went to rest. There were only a few confidants in front of him, and old ni took the opportunity to say, "I have something to ask my wife in the house. Please ask my grandmother to show it to me first. " What did Xifeng ask? Old ni said, "Amitabha! Just because I just became a monk that day in Shancai Temple in Chang 'an County, there was a benefactor named Zhang, who was a rich man. He has a daughter, nicknamed Brother Jin, who came to our temple to make pilgrimages and didn't want to meet Li Yanzi, the brother-in-law of Chang 'an Mansion. Li Yixin, the official's son, married Brother Jin and sent for relatives and friends. He doesn't want brother Jin to have been hired by the son of the former Chang 'an garrison. Zhang Jiare divorced, afraid that the garrison would not agree, he said that he had a family. Who knows that Li Gongzi insisted on not following and decided to marry his daughter. Without a plan, Zhang Jiazheng was caught in two dilemmas. I didn't want the garrison to listen to this letter, and I didn't care about it, so I came to a cheap abuse, saying that a daughter promised several homes and refused to reciprocate, so she went to court to complain. The Zhang family was in a hurry and had to go to Beijing to find the way. In anger, they insisted on canceling the ceremony. I think Master Yun of Chang 'an Festival is the closest to your home now. You can ask your wife to tell him to send a book and ask Master Yun to tell the defenders that they are not afraid of the defenders' failure. If you are willing to do it, the Zhang family is even willing to be filial. "

"It's no big deal," Xi Feng said with a smile. "It's just that my wife has stopped caring about this kind of thing." Old ni said, "Madam doesn't care, but Grandma can advocate." Hearing this, Xifeng smiled and said, "I don't want money. I won't do such a thing." Hearing this, he gave up his fantasy and sighed, "Even so, the Zhang family knows that I have come to ask the government. Regardless of this matter now, the Zhang family doesn't know that he has no time to manage and doesn't know how to be grateful. The government seems to have no such idea or means. "

Hearing this, Xifeng proudly said, "You have known me for a long time, and you have never believed in what the underworld deserves. Let me do as I say. You ask him to bring three thousand pieces of silver, and I'll give him this tone. " Hearing this, old ni was overjoyed and said, "Yes, yes! This is not difficult. " Feng added: "I can't compete with them for money." This 3,000 silver is just money for running errands. Let him earn some hard money. I don't want his money. ""even thirty-two thousand, I can't take it out at the moment. "old ni quickly agreed and said," In that case, grandma will be merciful tomorrow. "Look how busy I am!" said Xi-feng . What did I miss? Now that I've answered you, let's end it naturally. "old ni said," I don't know how lively this idea is in front of others. If it's in front of grandma, grandma can't add any more. This is just a statement. People who can do more work? My wife saw grandma's goodness because of big and small issues, and she passed it on to grandma. Grandma should also take care of her golden body. Hearing this, Xi-feng flattered all the way, which made her more useful, and she didn't want to talk much. "。

Peony Pavilion is full of colorful songs.

Daiyu was very depressed when she saw Baoyu leaving and heard that her sisters were not in the room. I was just about to go back to my room. Just outside the corner of pear fragrance court, I heard the melodious flute and singing in the wall. Daiyu knew that twelve girls were practicing the opera. Although I didn't pay attention, I accidentally heard a few words, which clearly said, "It turned out to be colorful, like this, I gave it to a broken well ..." Daiyu was also very emotional and stopped to listen.

Hearing this, he sang: "What a beautiful day, who will be happy?" After listening to these two sentences, he nodded and sighed, thinking, "It turns out that there are good articles in the play, but it's a pity that the world only knows how to watch the play, and may not be able to appreciate the fun." After thinking about it, I regret that I shouldn't dream and delayed listening to music. When I listened to it again, I just sang: "Just for you, as beautiful as flowers and as beautiful as jade, as time flies …" Daiyu was moved by these two words. After listening to the words "You Shi Jun feels sorry for himself ...", I became more and more intoxicated. I couldn't stand it, so I squatted on a rock and chewed the taste of the words "as beautiful as flowers and jade, like water passing by". It suddenly occurred to me that in the poem of the ancients I saw the day before yesterday, there was a sentence "two heartless flowers wither"; In the second word, there is a sentence, "The flowing water goes in spring, which is heaven and earth"; Also, I just saw the sentence "Flowers fall into the water and there are thousands of kinds of worries" in the West Chamber, and I remembered it for a moment and leaned in. After careful consideration, I felt heartbroken and tears filled my eyes.

Liu Lao Lao Xiao Yi Grand View Garden

When Grandma Jia said "please" here, Grandma Liu stood up and said loudly: Lao Liu, Lao Liu, eat like a cow: eat an old sow without looking up! "Say that finish, but drum gills help, eyes look straight, without saying a word. At first, they paused, and then they all burst out laughing together. Xiangyun couldn't hold her hands, and a mouthful of tea gushed out. Daiyu laughed out of breath and fell down on the table and cried, "Stop it! "Baoyu rolled into the old lady's arms, and the old lady smiled and hugged him, calling him" sweetheart ". Mrs. Wang smiled and pointed at Xi-feng, unable to speak. Aunt Xue couldn't hold her hands, and the tea in her mouth sprayed on Tanchun's skirt. Tanchun's tea bowls are all on Yingchun. Xichun left her seat, took the wet nurse and called "rubbing her intestines". There is no one in the ground who doesn't hunch over. Some hide out and squat and laugh, and some endure laughter to change clothes for their sisters. Only the mandarin duck is held in the palm of your hand, but it happened that the old man was allowed.

Mrs. Liu picked up chopsticks, but she didn't listen. She added, "The chickens here are also very handsome, and the eggs laid are small and strange. I'll get one! " Everyone stopped laughing, but they laughed again when they heard this. Grandma was in tears and couldn't help it. Amber hit hard in the back. Grandmother Jia said with a smile, "Xi-feng must have encouraged the chivalrous ghost to make trouble! Don't trust him. "

Mrs. Liu praised the little egg, and Xi-feng said with a smile, "One tael each! Try it quickly, it won't taste good when it is cold. " The old gentleman stretched out his chopsticks to clamp them, where can he clamp them? The bowl was full of noise for a while, so I finally picked one up, stretched my neck and ate it, then slipped down and rolled on the ground. Put down the chopsticks and pick them yourself. Someone underground has picked them out. Mr. Lao Liu sighed: "One or two pieces of silver disappeared without hearing a sound!"

Everyone was not interested in eating, but looked at him and made fun of him. Grandmother Jia added, "Who took out that chopstick again and didn't invite anyone to a big dinner! This is all directed by Feng Wench! Not yet. " This tooth tendon was not prepared by underground people, but brought by Xifeng and Yuanyang. Hearing this, I was almost busy, so I changed into a pair of ebony inlaid with silver. Lao Liu said, "It's better for you to go to gold and silver than for us." "This food should be poisonous," Feng said. "If the money goes in, you can try it." Mr Lao Dao: "This dish is poisonous, and ours are all arsenic! Even if it is poisoned, it will be eaten up. " Seeing that he was so interesting and his food was sweet, Jia Mu brought him her own cooking. Another mammy was ordered to come and put all kinds of dishes in a bowl for Banel.

Han Xiangyun drunk sleeping peony

Just then, I saw a little girl coming over with a big smile and said, "Look, girls, Miss Yun is drunk and wants to be cool. She fell asleep on a bluestone board behind the mountain!" " "Everyone laughed and said," Stop arguing. While walking, I saw Xiangyun lying on a secluded stone platform. In her dream, the peony flowers flew around, and the red fragrance spread all over her face and skirt. "。 The fan in his hand was underground, half buried by fallen flowers, and a group of bees and butterflies looked around noisily. Another bag of peony petals is wrapped in a shark handkerchief as a pillow. When everyone saw it, they all loved and laughed, and rushed to call for help. Xiangyun is still talking in her sleep and drinking, mumbling: "Spring wine tastes bitter ... suitable for meeting relatives and friends." Everyone laughed at him and said, "wake up and go to eat." "I'm sick of sleeping on this tide!"

Xiangyun winked at everyone and looked down at herself before she knew she was drunk. Originally, I was very cool and quiet, but I felt punished for drinking two more glasses of wine, so I fell asleep and felt sorry for myself.
