The Red Chamber is not a dream

[No.60 [-]nd Chapter] A Bachelor of Arts in Poetry Sees His Heart Happiness Accompanied by Shengjia Boy Yi Xingfei

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival.In the evening, the Rong Mansion held a family banquet, and the people were not in a hurry to leave, so they all sat in the room and talked, and waited for Xue's mother and son, brother and sister Yunyu to come here, so that they could enjoy the moon together.Jia Mu was reluctant to think of Baoyu going out from time to time, and now it was the reunion festival, her face was a little sleepy; everyone knew why, so she had to say something else to make fun of it.Jia Zhen's side also had a small banquet at home early in the day, and ate with everyone. After dinner, they came to Rongfu with Youshi.Seeing that everyone was there, Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng sat beside Jia's mother, gossiping and making fun of her, while the rest of the juniors stood on the ground.Jia Zhen saw them one by one, and Mother Jia ordered him to sit down, and said with a smile, "the moon cakes you sent yesterday are good." Jia Zhen said with a smile, "I found a cook recently and made good dim sum, so I brought them to honor the elders." Ancestor." Several people talked for a while, and Jia Mu looked out at the sky, then smiled and asked the people beside her, "When are they coming?" If they meet together, they will come together after a while."

Just as I was talking, I saw Yunyu, Xue Die and Xue Biao coming. They met Jiamu and everyone. Jiamu asked Aunt Xue where Daiyu and others were.Xue Die smiled and said to Jia Mu, "Mother and sister have gone to the back. I think they are with my aunt and wife." Then he got up and supported Baoyu's shoulders, and everyone followed and went to the courtyard.

At that moment, all the people arrived in the courtyard, and saw that all kinds of offerings were ready on the platform in front of the hall, and there were blankets and brocade mattresses on the ground floor. Mrs. Xing and other female relatives were already waiting inside.So a maid came up to serve Jiamu to wash her hands, and Jiamu worshiped with incense. After everyone had done obeisance, they went upstairs.The tables and chairs have been listed on the platform in front of the hall, and there is a screen in the middle. Jia Mu sat outside, and all the children and grandchildren sat down in groups.The three of Zhenyu sat down for a while, then got up to say goodbye. Jia Mu knew that it was inconvenient for them to stay here, so she didn't stay longer;

At this time, only people from Ningrong and Rongfu were present, Jia Mu looked at it once, and because she felt a little deserted, she said: "It's not as good as it used to be. No one in the clan comes here, and there are too few people today." But Jia Zhen knew why the crowd didn't come, so she just kept silent. Mother Jia thought for a while, then ordered Amber to go to the female guest's table, and asked Yingchun, Tanchun and Xichun to come out and sit down.When several people sat down for a while, Jia Mufang felt better, so she smiled and said, "Let's make an order, as long as we don't want those who are polite. Now let's beat the drums and pass the flowers. Whoever gets them will tell a joke and have a glass of wine." Saying so, he ordered a daughter-in-law to play the drums behind the screen, and brought another sweet-scented osmanthus flower, so as to "pass the flower order by beating the drums".

Sitting next to Baochai in the inner room, Daiyu heard the drum beating outside, and whispered to him with a smile, "Which joke do you want to hear?" It happened to be in the hands of Jia Zheng.Jia Mu said with a smile, "Drink quickly and tell a joke. If we don't laugh, we will be punished." Jia Zheng had to agree. After thinking about it for a while, he still told the joke about being afraid of his wife. Zhifang said something, and everyone laughed first.Daiyu said to Baochai with a smile: "Second uncle is usually serious and dignified, but now he tells a joke. This is a joke in itself. The old lady will not be punished today." Sure enough, when Jia Zheng finished speaking, everyone laughed; So he beat the drum again, but this time it stopped in Baoyu's hands.Baoyu was in a dilemma. Knowing his father's usual temper, he refused with all his strength, and only asked for other restrictions.So Jia Zheng restricted the word "autumn" and asked him to compose poems on the spot.Baoyu thought for a while, got four sentences, and wrote on the paper:

Mo Dao Penglai Cyclamen is far away, and now there are gods on the seat.

This life does not bear this night alone, the bright moon still faces the next year.

If it is written, it will be presented to Jia Zheng.When Jia's mother first saw Jia Zheng ordering him to write poems, she was worried. Now that she saw that his complexion was acceptable, she knew that Baoyu's work was not bad, so she asked how it was.Jia Zheng saw that there was nothing wrong with it, and the situation also meant auspiciousness, so he said, "It's hard for him. It's just that after all, I don't read enough, and I feel that the words are indecent." Strict; Jia Zheng wants to please Jia's mother, but it is rare to encourage Baoyu kindly, and then orders him to take something to reward him.Seeing his father like this, Baoyu felt happy and thought to himself, "So reading and writing have such benefits." After thanking his father for a while, he returned to his seat to give orders.After eating for a while, when Jia Mu asked people, seeing that there were more than two, she said, "There are still people waiting outside. Although our own family members are joking, we should not ignore them. Go yourself. I'll go again." Let's have a good laugh with the ladies and girls here, so we can rest." After hearing this, they toasted Jia Mu again, and then went out.

At that time, Jia's mother and her daughter-in-law at home once again enjoyed the moon; Xiangyun was full of desire to couplet poems, but Jia's mother was here, and if it was not good, she would go, so she had to talk to everyone in the room.Because he wanted to look for Baoyu again, who knew Baoyu didn't dare to come in when Jia Zheng went back, so he went back together.Xiangyun and Baoyu didn't arrive, because they felt bored; when it was time to leave, it was already late, and all the sisters wanted to go back to rest. Jinyu and Xuedie also drove a car to pick up Aunt Xue and others, so no one came with them. That's all.

So the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, so Jia Zheng chose to get up on August [-]th.On that day, Baoyu Jiahuan and others were invited to pay homage to the ancestral hall and Jia's mother, and then set off. Jia Lian and others sent them all the way to the Salei Pavilion.Even though Jia Mu had all kinds of reluctance, she had no choice but to say goodbye to everyone, and when she returned to the room, she was a little depressed.Yuanyang knew Jia Mu's thoughts very well, so she quietly said to Yingchun and the others: "When the girls are free, come and talk to the old lady more often. The days are getting shorter and people are tired. It's more serious to be more naughty." When several people heard the words, they all agreed.

But Jia Mu felt left out after Baoyu left.The historian took Xiangyun back the day before yesterday, and Daiyu and Baochai sisters don't come here often. Although there are three springs, they feel that it is more deserted than before.That day, because Yingchun was unwell, several Baochai came here to visit him. When Jiamu saw him, she said to him, "Now the second wife and the others have gone, and you don't come here to be naughty. Every day is boring; Why don't your sisters come and live here in a few days." Yin smiled and said to Aunt Xue: "Madam, don't think your sister has gone out, so she won't come to our side. Usually they are relatives, Kuang Bao Yatouqin and Yatou are very good, and I look at her like my own granddaughter, I'd better come and live here for a while, so that we can be more intimate." Aunt Xue had to agree after hearing this.

Daiyu went back that day because she told her brother that Jia Mu wanted to teach him a few things about living here.Yunyu thought for a while, then smiled and said, "That's fine. Qi Sheng will go on tour in the next day. I am afraid that you will be left out at home, and I will teach you to accompany Sister Bao; now Wen Qi also wants to go. When we go out together, Wenduan will go out to take care of his family's business again, so I can rest assured if we all live in my grandmother's house." Daiyu said: "Although this is the case, I have never left my brother. This time My Majesty Tongsheng went on a tour, and I don't know when I'll be back, so I'm definitely thinking about it." Yunyu laughed and said, "I can't help thinking about it, why don't I go? You can stay at their house for a while, and fight with your sisters every day. Or just go and relax with the old lady. When I come back, I will pick you up naturally."

Daiyu heard what he said, thought for a while, and said, "I'll wait until you leave before I go. Since I want to go out, I have to pack something; the boys may have unexpected things, but I actually watched them. They'll clean it up." Hearing this, Zhenyu knew that he wanted to stay with her for a few more days, so she smiled and said, "I'll be back. Then you will live there, so naturally the old lady loves you, auntie You can also take care of one or two; it's better to have sisters as companions than to stay at home." Because he called several maids who were serving Daiyu, and ordered them to fight for Daiyu one by one. Folding clothes; Ming Xiao and Qian Sheng were left at home to look after the house.Daiyu wrote a list in the room again, watching someone pack for Jinyu, it's easy.

Besides, at Aunt Xue's house, Xue Die was also going to accompany her, so the house was also being cleaned up. Aunt Xue felt that she was very happy, and she would dilute the sorrow of parting better.But Baochai felt a little worried in the end, so he said to his elder brother: "Brother, be careful, take care of yourself. All the things we packed for you are here. You should take a look first; I'm afraid there will be something we can't think of, okay. Hurry up and teach them to add them." He said to his brother: "In the past, you and your brother went to the business together, but now you have to go by yourself. Fortunately, there are a few old family members with you, but that's all; be careful along the way. .” Seeing him like this, the two of them both smiled and agreed, and went about their business without mentioning it.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of departure; Yunyu and Xuedie wanted to go to the palace first, so they took a carriage and horse to the door of their house, and taught them not to send them off again.Daiyu was reluctant to give up, and was afraid that his brother would look at her with concern, so she forced a smile and said, "We won't give it away. I knew that I should put my brother on the scale and weigh it. When I come back, I can only weigh it heavy; if it is still light Yes, I don't want to." Everyone laughed when he said that.Zhenyu knew that he wanted to be lenient and deliberately said obstinate words, so she smiled and said, "It's too late now. You can go out later, you can prepare the scale first." Several people said a few more words, and Zhenyu He and Xue Die boarded the car and went straight to the palace.

When it came to the palace, Feng Yan was already waiting there. Seeing the two coming, he hurried up to greet him.Seeing that Feng Chaozong was there, Zhenyu and Xue Die came forward to salute. Feng Chaozong hurriedly supported them, and said to the two: "I am a child who is born to be reckless, and I am not as stable as Yinzhi Tongwenqi. I have to ask my two virtuous nephews." Take care of him." When the two of them heard the words, they couldn't help laughing again; when they heard that the emperor had arrived, they hurriedly greeted him with solemn faces, and after saying a few words, they boarded their chariots and horses, and a group of people went out of the city. to finish.Exactly what will happen to this tour, whether Yu Yunyu and the others are happy or worried, I don't know yet, I will tell you later.
