Baoyu Fights the Red Chamber

Chapter 77, Xiaoguanzhuang: The Secret of Dicui Pavilion

The author has something to say: Grandpa has been bullied again!It was the ghost pavilion in the background that conspired!

It was a sunny day on the 26th, and it was cold in March and September. When the sun came out, it was colder than snow!

A small open space was carved out next to a wintersweet tree in the daylilies yard, and the ground was sprinkled with broken millet, and the sparrows rushed to snatch it.Two boys in riding clothes held small bows and shot arrows vigorously. They hit the plum tree with a "swish", and shot into the ice and snow with a "swish"...

The girls laughed and staggered, and Daiyu cried out that her stomach hurts and rolled into Jiamu's arms.Xiangyun stomped his feet again and again, grabbed Baoyu's bow with his hands, "whoosh"—be stronger, and flew into the air, but unfortunately the bird's feathers were not wiped.

Jiamu laughed and patted Daiyu on the back: "If you wait for their prey to eat, you will starve to death! Do as I said, make a big plaque, hold it with a stick, and tie a rope to the stick, and the sparrow will come." Just pull the rope and catch as many as you can."

Tanchun hurriedly ordered the maid and mother-in-law to do so, and sure enough, he caught many sparrows in a short while.Jiamu said excitedly that back then, she thought she was a master at catching sparrows and fish. She didn't need arrows or nets. Fishing only needed to build a small dam at the top and bottom of the stream, and scoop water directly with a basin. After a while, you will be able to scoop fish with a basin.

Talking about the past, Jia's mother was very moved. This dynasty said that it was established for a hundred years. It's only over 14 years now.

The younger generation didn't know the hardships and dangers of the past, and laughed and complimented the ancestors.The fake stone said with a sigh of relief: "What can we compare with our ancestors? A random idea is better than what we have practiced for a whole year! But I also have a good idea. I mixed salt with mud, wrapped a sparrow and put charcoal on fire." If you simmer it in, you don’t need to pick the hair, and once you simmer the mud, the hair will fall off, it’s delicious!”

Qin Zhong glanced at him suspiciously: "Have you eaten?"

Baoyu swiped his hands and said, "Of course! I went out to practice archery with the servant of the master's family, and I ate a lot."

Jia's mother laughed: "Don't talk about it, is it stewed chicken? Que'er is so small, a piece of meat is gone, it must be scalded with boiling water and finely plucked, and then go to the dirty, skewered with bamboo sticks You can eat chestnuts only by frying them, or just burning them like this."

Baoyu had never eaten stewed chicken, but had read about beggar's chicken in martial arts novels, but never imagined that sparrows were too small to do the same.At the moment, he has nothing to say about the old ancestors, and then proposes to eat hot pot in the pavilion.

This time his idea was adopted, and Li Wan led the women to Zhang Luo.

In fact, everything should be prepared early. He came up with the idea when he saw a cotton curtain hanging down in a certain pavilion.Walking inside, there is a prosperous brazier in the pavilion, which is not much worse than the Nuan Pavilion.Soon the bottom of the hot pot boiled, ready to eat!

Because Daiyu has not yet been filial piety, she specially made a pot of vegetables.Unexpectedly, all the girls in Rongfu are tired of eating big fish and meat every day, and they all like vegetarian hot pot, so they robbed them all.Daiyu complained again and again, and the wives hurriedly added vegetarian dishes, such as potherb mustard, mushrooms, bean skins, vermicelli skins, and sun-dried day lily, etc., which were all on the table.

It is so delicious and delicious that you have to recite poems to fight against it. Later, Qin Zhong's poems were higher than a certain scholar, and a certain one was laughed at.

It was busy, and Sister Feng, the housekeeper's grandma, brought some helpers to join in the fun, including Mrs. Xue Wang and Yingchun.

Xue's family is small, and Lian Er leads Xue Pan to take care of the store's stall, so all the things for the New Year are almost taken care of.Thinking of Sister Feng being tortured, Wang Xue brought her daughter-in-law over to comfort her.

Mother Jia didn't think much of Xue's family, they were already in-laws, and Baochai knew how to be a man again, and she didn't feel guilty at all living in Rongfu, and besides, the eldest son scraped so much money from Xue's family with a thick skin, she was smiling Greet each other and greet everyone to sit down and eat and drink.

Baoyu took a closer look at Yingchun, she lost some weight when she was visiting relatives, and now she has gained weight again. Although she still doesn't talk much, her expression is quite cheerful and smiling. It seems that Mrs. Xue should be good to her daughter-in-law.As for Xue Pan, as long as he doesn't spoil concubines and kill wives, he won't care about anything else with Yingchun's temperament.

After talking and laughing for a while, Baoyu got up to "change clothes".Qin Zhong didn't have the guts to laugh at the girls alone, and followed behind.

If it was a bit far to go to the toilet in Jia Mu's backyard, Li Wan would personally lead them to Yicui Hall where he lived, and he would inevitably ask about Jia Lan's situation on the way.

The fake stone has passed the temperament, and decided to help Jialan Jiazhu pass the test, which can also cover up his limelight, so he boasted that Jialan's skills are good, and swore that as long as Lan Geer is not as nervous as last time, he will definitely get sick. can pass.

After going out, I changed my clothes in a serious manner, and I didn't wear the broken riding clothes anymore, so I didn't have to be laughed at endlessly.

Li Wanyuan made a new set of inner and outer clothes for each of the schoolboys, and each of them had a big fox fur felt coat, which was going to be a gift for the year, anyway, it's only a few days away, so put them on!

Qin Zhong is narcissistic with his eyes on the mirror, because he is still in his father's filial piety, and his big felt is white fox fur, which makes his lips redder and teeth whiter.He suddenly had a thought, and whispered: "I saw red plums just now, let's pick two branches and give them to our ancestors to bottle."

Baoyu repeatedly said good--the red plum tree in Hemerocallis Courtyard is outside Jingxin Nunnery, so you don't have to knock on the door of Miaoyu Yuancui Nunnery just for plum blossoms like in the original book, as long as you don't talk or laugh, it won't alarm Miaoyu.

So the two of them told Li Wan that they would not bring their maids and mother-in-law with them, and they went together.It is said that a half-sized man went to pick plum branches in his own courtyard, and then he would lead a large group of servants, thinking about it makes him sweat.

The Hemerocallis Court was built by the Duke of the State. There are towers, pavilions, verandas, corridors, and curved bridges. Outside the Jingxin Nunnery, there is a small Dicui Pavilion, with a few red plum trees reflecting the Huating Pavilion.

As the two approached, someone was talking in Wendicui Pavilion.

Baoyu felt that one of the voices was quite familiar, and it was vaguely intelligent!

The nun in Shuiyue Nunnery went back after visiting her mother, why is her intelligence still there?He gently pulled Qin Zhong, and hid behind the rockery to listen carefully.

Zhizhizheng said sadly: "...I just want to get out of that prison, away from those people..."

Another slightly childish female voice hissed: "The gods and Buddhas are here, don't talk like that! Although being a monk is a bit boring, there is food and clothing. It is much better than my previous life..."

Zhizhi sneered: "That's because you followed your lady! If you were in Shuiyue Temple, would you think you have such leisure? You don't understand what I'm telling you, but you just tell Mr. Huan that if I want to follow him, I will not do it unless it is Get out of that prison..."

Baoyu was taken aback. Jia Huan was only 11 years old in the new year, and he was smart?In the original book, intelligence is to date Qin Zhong. It seems that this woman wants to leave the lascivious nest wholeheartedly, and all she can think of is to date a man. Even Jia Huan, who is out of tune, is regarded by her as a life-saving straw.

But listened to the childish female voice with wonder: "I don't understand what you said, Third Master Huan just asked me to ask you if you lost this handkerchief. If not, Aunt Zhao will come to the nunnery some other day Shangxiang..."

Zhizhi said: "It's not my piece! If you don't understand, then you don't need to say anything, let alone tell Aunt Zhao!"

The childish woman said: "Okay. I told Third Master Huan that it was only a handkerchief, and it was not gold needles and silver embroidery. If you lose it, you will lose it. I don't think you care about it. He begged left and right, but he also asked me not to tell others. My lady can't even tell."

Zhizhi sighed: "It's no wonder that human nature is so rare and confused, you are a very blessed person! When I was your age..."

The childish girl interrupted: "Don't think about those things in the past. When I think about the things on the road to escape, I will have nightmares at night! My lady said that the past is like dying yesterday..."

Just at this time, Baochai, who was wearing a bright red felt, led her maid Yinger over. Baoyu was so engrossed in listening, and because the sight was blocked by the rockery, they didn't realize it until they came close.

In the Dicui Pavilion, Zhizhi sneered and interrupted the childish girl's nagging: "It's the same thing to me in the past or in the future, unless I get out of that prison! Let me tell you, your lady's natural color is definitely not Good luck, and be careful."

The childish female voice was annoyed: "What do you mean? My lady lives in peace, eats vegetarian food and prays to Buddha..."

Zhizhi snorted coldly: "You will never understand again, unless you have seen something wrong. Let's not talk about this, and go pick a plum blossom quickly, Mo Lao, your lady has been waiting for a long time."

Baoyu's heart beats slightly. There is a public case in the original book: The girls are playing in the garden, but Daiyu is alone. Baochai goes to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion to call her, and when she sees Shenying's waiter go in, she returns.After seeing a pair of jade-colored butterflies, she chased after them, and accidentally heard Xiaohong and Zhui'er whispering in the Dicui Pavilion, about the matter between Xiaohong and Jia Yun.Xiaohong was afraid that someone would eavesdrop, so she called Zhui'er to open all the windows covered with paper.Baochai couldn't dodge it, so she deliberately stepped heavily, calling Daiyu's name and saying, "Watch you hide there", as if she had just arrived after chasing Daiyu, so that Xiaohong and Zhui'er misunderstood that Daiyu had overheard them. if.

Many people say that this is a clear proof that Baochai has harmed Daiyu, but one person agrees with another saying: Baochai just didn't want to cause trouble, so she just grabbed someone to top the vat, because she was looking for Daiyu first, and then blurted out.But this also shows that Baochai is a ruthless character who doesn't care what others will do as long as she is fine. Let's see what happens to her this time.

Just thinking about it, Baochai laughed and raised his voice: "Cousin Bao, why are you running so fast? You just picked a branch of plum first, who would miss your branch?"

Qin Zhong raised his eyebrows angrily, Baoyu hurriedly held him down, and showed him to look at the snow - first they took a shortcut and didn't follow the snow-swept path, and there were two rows of footprints on the snow.

But I saw an eleven or twelve-year-old girl running out of the pavilion, stretching her neck to look around: "Where is it? Tell people that Bao Erye, I have never seen it before!"

Ying'er laughed and said, "You've run far away, so you don't have any good friends. Why do you play here? You don't have to serve your lady?"

The girl turned around and saluted: "Ms. Xue, good luck! Sister Ying'er, don't talk too much, I'm here to pick new plum branches for my young lady and bottle it. You have run so far with Miss Xue, and take care to catch the cold."

Baochai said with a smile: "We are not here to pick plums, but to enjoy the snow scenery. A large group of people have gone to Miss Lin's room to change clothes. I don't want to squeeze with them and disturb your lady. You won't let me be shut down?"

The girl smiled and said: "At first, my lady mentioned that Miss Xue hadn't come for several days, but she forgot about us! Wait for me to pick plum branches." Then she turned her head and called to the pavilion, "Master Zhizhi, let's go together."

Zhizhi responded with a smile, walked out of the pavilion with a slightly pale face, and saluted Baochai.

Baochai was slightly surprised: "to catch up with love, there are so many guests from Jingxin nunnery today, how do you come here free?"

Zhizhi closed his eyes and took off the small basket on his back, and said with a smile: "Only the poor nun is here. The master ordered the little nun to send a peace talisman to the Rongfu. At the time, Master Miaoyu praised the incense candles in the nunnery, and the poor nun brought some along the way. .”

At this time, the girl had already picked off a plum, and they said that they would go to Jingxin Nunnery.

Baoyu and Qin Zhong turned out of the rockery, lost their thoughts of picking and picking, each picked a branch of plum at random, and walked slowly back.

Qin Zhong couldn't bear the restraint, and said: "It is said in the book that monks, nuns, and beggars should not be provoked. Zhizhi already knows that we have heard of her affair, will he engage in ghost tricks?"

Baoyu couldn't help laughing: "Where did the Buddhism come from? Wisdom is just a pitiful person. At her age, she still thinks about becoming vulgar all day long. I bet she doesn't have any magic spells."

Qin Zhong rolled his eyes: "Last time you said you were fine, but you were still hurt!"

Baoyu didn't want him to worry about nothing, and sighed: "Two different things! You should know something about Ningfu. My second sister-in-law and I ran into evil in Huifang Garden. To tell you, Shuiyue nunnery is not good either. They don’t have this technique or that technique, but they are extremely filthy, and the women’s relatives believe in them [-]% of those who follow the monk’s respect, and don’t tell people what happened just now, no one believes it.”

Qin Zhong nodded hesitantly, he stayed in Qiang Mansion not for a short time, how could Jia Qiang and Jia Rong be ignorant when they played Xiao Ni Xiao Dao and did not avoid others?Muttering in his mouth: "Is there really no need to wake them up? They are all kinky~ Ni!"

Baoyu sighed for a long time and didn't make a sound. If Shuiyue nunnery is destroyed, how much better can other nunneries be?Speaking of which, if monks, nuns and Taoists want to gain a foothold in the world of mortals, they must cater to the good of the world. "Closed brothels" have probably existed since there were temples, Taoist nunneries.It's just that the old nun Jingxu of Shuiyuean has gone too far, forcing Liang to be a prostitute and taking the lawsuit, there will always be times when he kicks the iron plate.Others don't mention it, but when he has the ability, he will definitely make the old villain come to a bad end!
