The Red Chamber is not a dream

【Chapter 160】The past is all gone

But it is said that Feng Yan has been ordered to fight everywhere since Yunyu ascended the throne; that day when he was in southern Xinjiang, by chance, he met a strange man. In the middle of the night, they talked freely all night, and presented them with precious swords.The stranger liked it very much, so he took Feng Yan to see all the landscape paintings here, and took another piece of oily jade and gave it to him. But it fits perfectly with this golden silk and jade. I think the fate of the general in the future should be on a daughter who wears gold." Then I saw the simple words on the stone, which read:

The only one

Ruixiu Changying

When Feng Yan was young in Beijing, he saw a lot of jewels, but he didn't pay much attention to them, but thanked them and kept them in his arms.Seeing this, the stranger smiled and said nothing, got up the next morning, said goodbye and left, and was never seen again.

Now that Feng Yanping has won the chaos in southern Xinjiang, the Dasheng team returned to the court; when he got home, he remembered this stone, and when he took it out to look at it, he suddenly thought: "Throughout the ages, monarchs have been most afraid of any strange phenomena in the homes of ministers. Now I have this stone. Yu, and what he said again, if you tell someone with a heart to tell His Majesty, you will feel a little uncomfortable, it's not like I told you first." But I was afraid that Yuyu would be suspicious, but I didn't dare to tell him, so I thought to myself Said: "Brother Xue was the best with me in the past, and he is His Majesty's brother-in-law; he is also the smartest one. If you don't talk to him first, it depends on what you think." Thinking so, he took the jade to Xue's house I went to see Xue Die, intending to ask him for an idea.

Xue Die felt strange when he heard Feng Yan's words. He also heard that there were words on the stone, took it over to look at it for a while, and suddenly clapped his palms and laughed loudly: "Could it be that the theory of golden and jade marriage should be with you!" Xue Die told the monk what he had said that day, and asked people to take Baochai's golden lock later.As soon as the golden lock was taken, Xue Die opened the locker, and saw eight characters engraved inside, saying:

Never leave

Yoshitsuji

Feng Yan was shocked when he saw this, and Xue Die smiled and said, "When my sister was young, a monk came to teach her to wear it. I don't know if this fate should be here now; I just don't know what you two really mean." What's next, I still have to ask the previous question."

Feng Yan and Xue Die met each other on a regular basis, and also heard that his mother said that Baochai was a kind-hearted person, born with a beautiful face and beautiful appearance, so she thought about it and said: "Although this chance is coincidental, I have to ask Lingtang and Lingmei what they mean. I am a reckless man. , but I was afraid that I would offend Lingmei; I want Brother Yang to ask first, and then I will report to my father. If it feels wrong, I will just pretend that I have never seen this lock before, and I will never mention it to another one." Hearing Feng Yan's words, Xue Die liked it even more, and said, "It's clear. Please go back first, Li Lin. After I talk to my family, there will be news."

But Baochai didn't know what happened when he saw his elder brother teach someone to take his golden lock. After a while, he saw Xue Diexi come back diligently, told him about Feng Yan, and said, "his jade is the same as your lock." They really are a couple." Baochai was too ashamed to think about it, so she turned around and walked back.Xue Die didn't know what was going on in his mind, so she asked Aunt Xue to ask her many times. Baochai was silent at first, but after a while she said: "It is the emperor's kindness to have such a chance today, and it is also thanks to my brother's strength. Having said that, I think it's fate, it has its own cause and effect." Xue Die knew that her sister agreed, so she was overjoyed, Naite went to Feng's house once, talked to Feng Yan, and said: "The emperor once said that he would marry his sister. , when I go to face the saint with you tomorrow, and tell him about this matter, I will be happy."

At that time, Feng Yan had already talked about this matter with Chaozong, and they all felt that this marriage was a good match.So the next day, Chaozong changed his clothes, entered the palace with Xue Die and Feng Yan, and reported to Yunyu.Yunyu was also very surprised when she heard it, and she knew the meaning of his words. Kuangben was going to match the two of them, so she wanted to point Baochai to him, so that the two would marry immediately; but Feng Yan heard the words and said: "Now Oh Luosi Kingdom is watching over there, but the ministers dare not discuss their own affairs first, why don't we wait for the border to be settled in the future before we get married." Yuyu laughed and said, "It's good if you want to make contributions, but it's just unavoidable. Let Qing equal too long. Now that you two are not too young, you just start a family and start a career, isn't it good?" Feng Yan said again: "In less than a year, this battle can be won." Seeing him, Yunyu said When he was sure, he smiled and said, "Since you have said this, I will allow you to play it. When you return to Beijing after success, I will be your great matchmaker." Feng Yan thanked him with courtesy and went out with Chaozong.

In the next month, Feng Yan gathered his troops and horses and headed for the northern border. He heard that he fought and won three victories a day.After more than half a year, Feng Yan led his army back to Beijing after a great victory. Today, he was overjoyed and granted the title of General of the Army and Horses.When the two got married, they couldn't help being amazed when they saw that pair of gold and jade.Although Feng Yan was born as a military general, he is upright and sincere; after marriage, the two get along with each other, and their love is incomparable, and they are still a happy marriage.After that, Baochai gave birth to a son and a daughter, and the daughter hired the eldest son of the emperor. Later, when the prince ascended the throne, the princess became the queen.This is the cause and effect of Baochai's life.

But it's time for the exam.Now all the people in Jia's mansion are out of the filial piety period, and they all end up with their own feelings. Although Baoyu was selected as a scholar in the past, he did not come first in the provincial examination. Jia Cong and Jia Lan never won the tribute. get in.Who knows that although Jia Ruo is young, he is far superior to others, and the three articles are flowing like clouds and flowing water, which is amazing and brilliant.Mei Xinfang was the master examiner this time, and when she saw his papers, she began to love talents; when she removed the cover, she was even more surprised when she found out that it was Jia Ruo's work, so she reported it to Yunyu.Yunyu laughed and said, "When I saw him that day, I felt that this son was extraordinary, and now he is indeed so." Therefore, he paid more attention to it; He also has quick thinking and is far above others, so he wants to be the number one scholar.It's just that some people said that since the sage was Tanhualang at that time, it might be wrong to set up another first class now. It's better to take away the first three people and only set up the second and third class; Confused. Could it be that just because I was a candidate that day, all the champions in the past and present have been taken away?" Several people heard the words and dared not mention it again.Therefore, if Jia Ruo is the number one scholar, Jia Lan will be ranked at the bottom of the top two.When the exam was over, people wrote a gold list and hung it outside.

When Mrs. Xing heard the news at home, she couldn't help being very happy. She watched the person who sent the news, went into the room and said to Jia She with a smile: "Your grandson has won the first prize." Concubine Ying Ji was also released by Mrs. Xing, and only a few family members took care of her on a daily basis. Mrs. Xing only came to see her once a day, and it seemed that there was no such person in the family.Now Mrs. Xing is very happy, but she talks to him here; who knows that Jia She heard it and nodded with a smile: "OK, good." Do you still know whether it's good or not?" But Jia She laughed for a long while and said, "Madam is also good."

Mrs. Xing was stunned when she heard the words. Although she knew that the words were foolish, she spat and scolded: "I have suffered for half my life, and I have been taking care of you for these years. Do you dare to say that I am not good?" , but fell on Jia Amnesty and cried bitterly.Seeing that Mrs. Xing was crying, Jia Amnesty reached out to wipe his tears for him, and said, "It's a great joy for my grandson to win the first prize. Ma'am, don't cry." Mrs. Xing stopped crying when she heard the words, and said strangely: "What are you doing?" Are you stupid?" Seeing that Jia Amnesty stopped responding, he had already fallen asleep.Mrs. Xing was stunned for a while, and then she went out, and ordered her servants to take care of her, and went out by herself.

Five or six years later, Jia She died of illness and was buried with ceremonies at home.However, Jia Ruo went all the way from being an official to the prime minister, so the Jia family was revived and prominent; the eldest sister was named Jia Rui, and when she was in her teens, she was gentle and beautiful, and she hired a rich family in Beijing as a wife; when Jia Cong was 30 years old, Fang Zhong He was a Gongshi, and he was born as a fellow Jinshi in the next year's palace examination, and then he went to work in other places.Mrs. Xing also had to take care of her for the rest of her life, and she died at eighty.

Let's talk about Jia Zheng's situation.Although the family is poor now, Jia Zhen and Jia Lian often subsidize some things. It coincides with their big wedding today, and they issued an edict to forgive the Jia family's deficit, so they are barely making ends meet.It's just that Jia Zheng was deeply ashamed, and seeing that Baoyu failed in repeated trials, he ordered his family to pack something and wanted to go back to his hometown in Jinling.Jia Zhen and Jia Lian couldn't stay, so they had to prepare cars and boats to see them off.Li Wan's mother and son, because Jia Lan had passed the provincial examination, decided to stay in Beijing to study; and go.

Now Jia's old house in Jinling is still there. When a group of people arrived at the house, Jia Lian had sent people from his hometown to tidy up the house and several people lived in it.Maybe some old friends came to visit when they heard that Jia Zheng had returned to his hometown; but Jia Zheng still felt ashamed, so he stayed at home and didn't go anywhere else; in the second year, he fell ill and died of fear. , aged 58.Tanchun had chosen a scholar to marry the day before yesterday; Jia Huan was also looking for an errand in the local area, so he would not come home when he was idle, so now there are only Mrs. Wang and Baoyu Xiangyun at home.

Mrs. Wang didn't want to come to Jinling at first, but Jia Zheng insisted, but she couldn't. Now seeing this, she thought to herself: "After a while, it's more serious to go back to Beijing. Although it is clean here, it can't compare with Beijing. If Baoyu wants to go to school, Beijing is better. Besides, Sanya is married now, and Huan'er has found a job, so it's only our mother's return to Beijing." With such an idea, he packed up his things and returned to Beijing. Go; but Xiangyun has another pregnancy letter, so he has to put the matter on hold for the time being.

Suddenly it was October.When Xiangyun launched that day, the family found Wen Po early in the morning; Mrs. Wang and Baoyu were waiting outside.Unexpectedly, after four or five hours, there was no effect; Mrs. Wang was a little panicked, and kept asking the midwife how she was doing.Then a servant girl ran out in a panic and said, "Mrs. Liang, Madam Liang said that the second grandma is not good. I'm afraid the young master won't be able to give birth. I'd better invite the doctor to come and see." Mrs. Wang was busy and ordered someone to invite her The doctor, seeing Baoyu bowing his head there silently, hurt and angry, pushed him and said, "Young girl Yun is in the room, you should answer anyway." Baoyu heard the words, but still remained silent; Mrs. Wang saw The family led the doctor to come, but they didn't bother to ask him any more, so they hurried up and asked the doctor to look into the room.

I don't know how long it took before the doctor came out of the room. Mrs. Wang hurriedly asked what was going on, only to see the doctor cup his hands to Mrs. Wang and said, "Madam, forgive Xiaosheng for his incompetence, so I will go back." Mrs. Wang heard the words After a daze, I saw the doctor carrying the medicine box and going out; hurriedly went up to stop him and said, "Wait a minute, sir, at least save my wife's life!" The doctor grabbed his sleeve, shook his head again and again, and said, "Talk to Madam, Now the respected daughter-in-law is hard to save even the gods of Da Luo; the fetus has been suffocated to death in the womb because of the unnatural growth; now the respected daughter-in-law has lost blood and can't be saved, it's better to prepare for the funeral."

When Mrs. Wang heard the words, it was like five thunderbolts; the doctor had no time to grab his sleeves and walked away.When Mrs. Wang came back to her senses, she grabbed the woman Wen and cried, "But is there any other way to save Yun'er's life?" Where did the old man come from? Let's prepare things early and tidy up for grandma." Mrs. Wang was even more flustered when she heard the words; so she was alone at this time, knowing that Baoyu was not good at business, she was angry and angry for a while. Anxious, triggering the old disease, a mouthful of blood rushed out.Fearing that Baoyu would see her worry, she hurriedly covered herself up and ordered someone to prepare for Xiangyun.While he was in a hurry, he saw a servant girl running out of the room and said, "Ma'am, Second Mistress wants to see Second Master, so teach him to go in."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang frowned and said, "This delivery room is not clean, and there are people who are about to die. I'm afraid they will be directed at Baoyu. I'll go in and have a look at him." Seeing Baoyu standing on one side, he looked like a clay sculpture and wood carving. So he ignored him, and pushed the door open to go in. He saw Xiangyun lying on the bed, his face as white as paper, but he leaned over and took his hand and said, "Good boy, I'm here to see you." But he saw Xiangyun There was no light in her eyes, and she asked in a low voice: "Madam, the second elder brother didn't come to see me, did he go for the exam?" Mrs. Wang said with tears: "Your brother went for the exam." Xiangyun smiled and said: "That's the best The second elder brother didn't like to study that day. My sister Xuebao persuaded him a few words, and he became annoyed. Now that he reads by himself, the master doesn't bother him anymore. My wife is very sleepy at this time, please go to rest, I When you wake up, go talk to your wife." He laughed again: "There are many people in that room with bad intentions, and they all want to harm me. I have to be stubborn with my wife and not go anywhere else." Mrs. Wang heard the words and knew that Xiangyun had died. He was confused, so he couldn't help crying and said: "My good boy, you are tired too, go to sleep." Xiangyun nodded when he heard the words, closed his eyes slowly, and finally fell silent.When Mrs. Wang saw this, she couldn't help crying for a while; she watched people put on clothes for Xiangyun, and asked people to prepare the things behind him.

When Baoyu heard that Xiangyun was dead, he was stunned for a long time before she shed tears. Mrs. Wang was afraid that he would be overwhelmed with sadness, so she called him repeatedly. When Baoyu came back to her senses, she asked herself, "Sister Yun Do you have any words left behind?" Mrs. Wang shed tears when she heard the words, and said, "Yun'er asked you if you went for the exam, so I didn't come to see him; I also taught you how to read well." Baoyu nodded and said nothing. , Sighed for a long time: "It's my fault." On the one hand, he changed his clothes there, and watched people carry the coffin and park Xiangyun, nothing to say for the time being.

The author has something to say: It was quite sad when I actually wrote this title...

How should I put it, Xiangyun has said about Daiyu, but he is not a bad person...

This ending is always better than the one inferred by later generations.

Mrs. Wang... Sigh.Can't say.
