Baoyu Fights the Red Chamber

Chapter 69: The Grand View Garden

Ordinarily, the eldest daughter of the Rong Mansion visited relatives, and the one who paid the discount should be the head of the family, but because the second wife was awkward and out of touch, Mrs. Queen Wang finally paid [-] taels of real gold and silver. Give up the glory to Erfang.

Mr. Xi is a talkative person, he made another one hundred thousand taels from his high-lying home, so let's give up this kind of vanity.Unexpectedly, the master Zheng bites his mother's mouth tightly and insists on waiting for Zhang, Li, Cheng, and the fourth concubine Yu to finish their marriage before making a deal!

Originally, it didn't matter to wait, but from what I heard, the Cheng family and the Yu family wanted to ask their mother-in-law to visit their relatives on the Lantern Festival next year!The best day has been taken by them, where will the Jia family look for it?the same day?Their family's luxurious family-friendly courtyard is full of lights, and Jia's pastoral scenery courtyard is best in golden autumn.Another: Rong Guogong is an old-fashioned hat. He loves day lilies and osmanthus flowers. There are osmanthus trees planted on both sides of the Rongfu horse road.

It's already September [-]rd, the weather in the north is cold early, and the first snow may fall in October, so we can't delay any longer!

Jia's mother became angry, so Jia Zheng had no choice but to turn up.Speaking of which, he really didn't want to give this honor to his elder brother, the empress is his own daughter.

It was night, Mr. Zheng was writing alone in his study for an unknown period of time, and Baoyu came quietly.

Seeing that the son solemnly presented an order, he said: "Master, this is the formula of red brick and red tile (thin and slightly curved red brick). The second brother Lian made it by accident, just for fun. Because of the construction Visiting relatives, he thought that red bricks and tiles are cheap and strong, and may be useful to the Ministry of Industry. For example, if red bricks and red tiles are used for the test shed, the shed will not be crushed by too much snow, and the court will have to allocate funds to rebuild it. He doesn't want the red bricks and tiles to become our family's private property, and if there is too much money, it will only produce dudes."

Jia Zheng was excited. Although craftsmanship is a small way, does Chengjuan of Rongfu have such a heart!Immediately, Nian Xu said: "That's great! If ordinary people can live in brick houses, how many lives can be saved in a snow disaster year!"

So Mr. Zheng swiped his brush and wrote a thousand words.And cunningly kept the original text, this will be shown to the elder brother tomorrow morning, he does not believe that the greedy elder brother will be willing to donate the prescription.

The brochure was handed in the next day, and within two days, the doctor of the Ministry of Industry brought a large group of people to investigate.

Master Xi was very surprised. It should be the eunuch, what is the doctor from the Ministry of Industry doing here?

The fifth-rank real-time doctor only showed respect to the first-rank general with a false title, and didn't have much respect, so he summoned Lian Er directly.

A group of people spent a whole day wandering around the provincial hospital. This is a group of experts. Lian Er did his homework in vain, and was sweating profusely when he was asked: There is no way, the prescription is offered, and the price is based on the square plate. What is the cost? I can't make up 25 taels!

You said that the price of internal use is high?Sorry, they are all common items. People know the market price, can I double it for you?

Speaking of which, the officials of the Ministry of Industry did not intentionally embarrass Lian Er, but just wanted to reveal the real cost: the courtyard is in the capital, and the provincial court under the eyes of the emperor, how can they be sloppy?As for the Jia family's greed for their own family, they don't care.

Two days later, the sage Zhu approved the play: On September [-], the concubine Enzhun Xiande and the Shangshu of Fengzao Palace visited relatives Jia.

Everything is done, why should it be delayed for more than ten days?Cha, your house is doing well, your house is doing well, don't clean the long street?It is also necessary to drive out idlers and set up guards everywhere.Sorry, bring me twenty thousand taels of silver!The soldiers and horses of the five cities move, don't you want money?

So Jia Amnesty spat out [-] from his greedy money, and the other [-] from the second wife!

Mrs. Wang didn't get in the way, she offered [-] taels earlier, Lian Er quietly returned [-], and took it out again.

On the [-]th, the eunuchs finally came to check, "Where to change clothes, where to sit, where to receive gifts, where to have a banquet, where to retreat", instructing the Jia family "Where to retreat, where to kneel, Where to eat, where to announce" and so on.

The family worked so hard, they had to give the wallet, and all of it was paid by Chengjue of Rongfu. Who knew that Lian Er was greedy a lot?

In the days that followed, all kinds of things happened one after another.There is only one thing that must be mentioned: Sister Feng told Jia Mu that she hadn't bought a little nun or Taoist aunt, so she had to ask her to recite scriptures and pray for her. Now there is Shuiyue nunnery, which is very convenient.

Jia's mother thought it was very kind, so the little nuns and prostitutes appeared on the stage, and all the expenses were spent!Sister Feng hates Lian and poison.

Lian Er gritted his teeth and agreed, if he pointed at the so-called 25 taels, he would have to pay out if he couldn't find it!

Brother is in trouble, how can brother be idle?A certain invisible rich man has to pay for it too!Baoyu knew that all kinds of accidents would be saved by breaking the family test, so in order to avoid some people making a fuss out of it, he buried his head in admitting the bad luck.

As it was approaching the family-attending day, Baoyu no longer lived in the school, and took Jialan and others back to Rongqingtang to embrace the mansion every night.

On the [-]th, the attacker reported to the invisible bully: "My wife sent someone to pick up a nun who practiced wearing hair. Her legal name is Miaoyu. She is seventeen years old. She is from Gusu. She said that her ancestors were also a family of officials. She Because of her illness since she was a child, she bought a lot of substitutes, but they were useless, so she had to enter the Buddhist monastery. This is good, so she brought her hair to practice. Her parents have passed away. Last year, she followed her master to the capital to worship the Avalokitesvara relics and Baye leaves. Unexpectedly, she The master passed away last winter, and her last words said that she is not suitable to go back to her hometown for daily necessities. She lives here quietly, and you will naturally have your results later. Therefore, she did not return to her hometown, but lived in the Muni Courtyard outside the west gate, with two An old mother and a little girl are serving, and the madam sent a post to invite her to live in the Jingxin Nunnery in the Daylily Garden."

Baoyu rolled her eyes. In the original book, the suspicious Miaoyu lived in the beautiful Yuancui Nunnery. There is only one Jingxin Nunnery here, and she still lives in it. The plot is too powerful!Originally, he wanted to have no nunnery in the provincial courtyard, but every large courtyard of a wealthy family has a nunnery or a Buddhist hall for the female relatives of the inner house to pray to gods and worship Buddha nearby.If it is demolished, Jia Rong and Jia Qiang will argue and build a bigger and better one!

That is to say, Mrs. Wang asked Miaoyu to come to Rongfu, and Baoyu went directly to ask.

Mrs. Wang smiled bitterly: "It's from Lin Zhixiao's family! Miaoyu's great-grandmother was a handkerchief given by our old lady (Mrs. Rong Guogong). Her surname is Su, and Su Shilang of the Ministry of War is her grandfather. Her mother and I are in the boudoir. There have been contacts from time to time. 12 years ago, her grandfather was beheaded at the Meridian Gate for being greedy for ink. The Su family sent her mother to a nunnery, and she died within half a year. After she returned to Gusu, she became a monk in her nunnery. Her father, Su Xiucai, was seriously ill. Su Xiucai usually made friends with only relatives and friends of the Su family. I heard that before she left, she entrusted many people to take care of Miaoyu, but her own family didn't care about her, so how can others care? We have the right to do good for our mother Well, I have pity on your elder sister living in the palace, but living in a nunnery."

Mrs. Wang shed tears while talking, Baoyu also had a sore nose, and felt guilty in his heart. He was shocked by the fate of Rongfu's family raid. Thinking about it carefully, if Miaoyu's origin really leads to Prince Yin, how can it be like the original book? How about living quietly in Yuancui Nunnery?No matter good or bad, there will be a lot of people, but Miaoyu's "solitary and arrogant" can't stop her.Su Xiucai is also rare. In this era, it is not easy to disobey the orders of parents and refuse to remarry. I am afraid that it will offend the whole Su family.

Gossip aside, the [-]th has finally arrived.The five watch drums sounded, and since Jiamu, all those who have nobles are dressed as high-quality clothes, those without nobles are dressed as scholars, Jialan and others are dressed as students, and Tanchun Xichun is dressed as a lady.

Daiyu stayed in her room, she was still in her filial piety.Baoyu was quite surprised by this crossing brand. According to the original book, Yuanchun visits relatives on the Shangyuan Festival next year. At that time, Daiyu was still in the period of filial piety, and her father had been filial piety for three years. How could she appear at the scene of welcoming the empress?Ask Wucaishi, it doesn't understand either, and says that maybe everyone in Jia's family has lost their heads, and Shenying's waiter Lin Ruhai was not posthumously named as a marquis, who would care about it?Jia's mother just remembered to stay away from Mrs. Wang and not let Baochai dominate.

In the original book, Jia's family waited from morning till night for the empress Fengjia who came to enjoy the lantern.No need this time, it must be daytime to appreciate the osmanthus. At about half a hour (eight o'clock), a group of eunuchs came on horseback, saying that the empress was coming.

Jia Shehe and his family's nephews waited quietly outside the West Street Gate for more than an hour, and their spirits lifted after hearing the words.It's not easy for female relatives to show their faces. At first, Mother Jia led the female relatives of the family on the flower lawn inside the gate, but now they will all go out and stand outside the gate.

Unexpectedly, the advance of the "coming" was astonishingly large, and nearly an hour later, a pair of red-clothed eunuchs came slowly on horseback, dismounted at the west corner gate, and stood facing west with hands down, soldiers came to lead the horses to the fence outside.

After a while, another pair, repeating the aforementioned process.I don't know how many pairs of this and that, and finally I heard the faint music.

Fake Stone breathed a sigh of relief, his legs were sore and trembling faintly, the scientific research was not so miserable!

After waiting for another half an hour, I finally saw a cranked Qifeng gold umbrella.He thought that the empress would arrive at last, but he didn't know that it was just a guard of honor, followed by a team of eunuchs and maids holding incense beads, embroidered handkerchiefs, washing bowls, whisks and so on.

After a long time, a team of golden-roofed and embroidered phoenixes appeared, but when they heard the shrill eunuch's voice, the men and women of Jia's family hurriedly knelt down in the dust.A eunuch and maid came forward, and the women's relatives helped up Jia Mu, Mrs. Xing, and Mrs. Wang; on the male side, the writing generation was lifted up, and the jade writing generation went down, kneeling down!

Baoyu felt that kneeling was more comfortable, why did he stand for too long, he was going to be a court official, standing like this every day, wouldn't he be exhausted?No wonder the "gentlemen" want to learn archery, if they don't train their bodies well, they will go to court.

After all, Feng Yu is Feng Yu. He didn't enter through the west corner gate, but made a symbolic detour, and wobbled to the side gate of the Duke's era.

Entering the mansion, you can see the "Singing Family Home" across the flower lawn at a glance.Red gates and green walls, the unified pattern is nothing special.Feng Yu didn't enter the hospital directly, but entered the Daylily Garden from the west through the red door on the side of the main gate: the Changing Hall is here.

Now is not the daylily flowering season, Xue's family provided golden red gauze tied flowers, sprinkled among the old green daylilies.It doesn't take much trouble to sprinkle, but it takes a lot of effort to pick them up one by one.

But Yuanchun came back after changing clothes, and saw the garden full of flowers "blooming", he was surprised: "How do I remember that daylilies bloom in June and July?"

Baoqin ran to pick a flower for her to see, and Zhao Rongqi said it was Xue's flower.

Yuan Chun sighed secretly, from Mrs. Wang's half-concealed words, she heard that her mother was very dissatisfied with the Xue family, and she was also dissatisfied in her heart. summoned.

A large group of people embraced Yuanchun to go to Yixintang. As for the Jingxin Nunnery where Miaoyu led the nuns to stay, they never passed by: Yuanchun was very familiar with the Hemerocallis courtyard, and when she was a child, she would bring her maid and mother-in-law with her every time the flowers bloomed. Came to pick daylilies, the eunuch who led the way tried to take a detour to see the scenery, but the virtuous concubine was anxious to see the old boudoir.

The plaque of "Yixin Hall" has not been changed, so we have to leave some old traces, right?There was no inscription on the small pavilion on the top before, but now there is a word "overlooking" inscribed, and the other side is covered.

Yuan Chun smiled and said, "Looking far away? It really saves effort, and I also save it. There is no need to change it, and it will be uncovered."

When the cloth is uncovered, it is the word "court".Yuan Chun nodded with a smile: "It's a scene. Who wrote it?"

Jia's mother knelt down and told Baoyu that it was inscribed by Baoyu, claiming that all the couplets and plaques were inscribed by Baoyu, and Jialan Jiahuan directly deleted them.

Jia's mother had a very good opinion on this matter and asked Jia Huan to "retreat from illness".She felt that Jia's second son was so confused that people didn't know what to say: Jia Lan was due to be included on the plaque with the inscription, and it was a good ring regardless of the topic.What's the deal with Jia Huan?Bastards shouldn't stand out on such occasions.To actually let the dignified successor and grandson write only one couplet and one plaque like a concubine, the whole family will be ashamed, it would be better if both of them are hidden.

Yuan Chun was really happy, reading the couplets in front of the pavilion, he actually relieved most of the sadness caused by returning home.

After entering the pavilion, she looked northward, and all kinds of precious chrysanthemums were in full bloom in Jia Mu's backyard, just like the scenery of old times.And in front of her old boudoir, there was an eleven or twelve-year-old girl in plain clothes leading a maidservant to water the flowers and plants.

At this age and with this attire, there is no doubt that she must be Lin Daiyu.Yuan Chun was troubled, Mrs. Wang obviously didn't like Daiyu, saying that Daiyu was sick.But at a glance, it doesn't look like a sick body.

She didn't know that Mrs. Wang and Jia Min were not in love. When she remembered, Jia Min was already married, so she thought it was a fight between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.According to Yuanchun, it would be a good choice for Baoyu to marry the daughter of the Marquis of Zhongqin. Although there is no relatives to help, there will be no relatives to make trouble.

So she asked with a smile, "Is that child my aunt's daughter?"

Mother Jia knelt down again and answered "Yes", saying that Daiyu has always been restless, and would come out to water the flowers and plants every day after reading scriptures for her parents, so she didn't want to disturb the empress.

Yuan Chunxin said that Daiyu would appear in front of my boudoir at this time, it must be your old man's arrangement, but my mother has no good candidates, I am afraid that my father will order Daiyu in the end.But Baoyu is only 12 years old, and for a boy, it is not too late to talk about marriage at the age of [-] or [-]. Maybe there will be someone who the whole family thinks is suitable?

Thinking of this, she said with a smile: "They are all relatives of my own family, why are they so particular, please come and see me."

The author has something to say: Yuanchun enters the Hemerocallis Yard from the southernmost side door to change clothes, and enters Lian Erjian’s garden through the middle side door. What is the northernmost side door for?

Even escaped!Home is scary, please listen to this rhythm——

When the mistress rushed out of the kitchen, she shouted at the family members sitting on the sofa: "Don't sit down!" Get up!!!" The last voice: "Take in the clothes from the balcony!"

I jumped up and rushed to the balcony. I really didn't understand why the first four sentences were required.

Dear friends, this home has four to five hundred square meters, and there is a "冂" shaped balcony garden outside. The poodle and a famous dog of unknown origin barked ferociously.

It is said that home is the keynote, and the quarrels will never end. The incident: the newspaper was not placed properly, and an extra biscuit was given to the dog... I don’t understand, home is the keynote, why so many people go on and on to get married.
