Fengqiwu of the Red Chamber

Xifeng and Daiyu saw that the children were sweating from playing, so they hurriedly called over and wiped their faces with handkerchiefs.Brother Jue is a self-acquaintance, he bumped headfirst into Daiyu's arms, and kept saying nice things in his mouth: "It's still Sister Lin who wipes comfortably, my sister has heavy hands and feet, and her face will be covered by her. Scratch the skin." Xifeng gave him a sideways glance, and said with a tinge of yin and yang, "Brother Jue despises me, that's all, I'll just take Brother Huan to the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival, so as not to be disgusted by others." Hearing this, his little face instantly wrinkled into a little bun, and he cupped his hands again and again to make amends and said: "Brother Jue is wrong, my good sister, don't go without Brother Jue, I will buy a big lantern for my sister when I go to the Lantern Festival." Make an apology!" Xifeng chuckled and said, "It's more or less the same." Seeing that Jia Lan was wearing a brand-new dark green brocade robe without a handkerchief, she wanted to wipe it with her sleeves, but she was afraid that the new clothes would be dirty, so she was standing Tangled there.Xifeng smiled slightly, pulled Jia Lan over, and said with a smile, "Seeing that you are sweating so hot, can Aunt Feng wipe it off for you too?" It was just his mother, Li Wan, who didn't even have maids around, and it was the first time she was dragged into her arms to wipe off her sweat like this.Xifeng held back her laughter, and said, "Oh, you're only so old that you already know how to be shy. You see, Brother Jue is not much younger than you, and he knows how to be coquettish and foolish every day, coaxing the sisters around him to do a good job for him. Food!" Hearing Xifeng talk about him, Brother Jue naturally felt embarrassed, and made winks in Xifeng's direction, but Xifeng ignored them.

Jia Lan had a great time at Wang's house, and Brother Jue gave him many interesting gadgets. The three children agreed to play together in the future. Before leaving, Li Wan held his hand. He kept looking back.Xifeng couldn't help sighing in his heart, kid Jia Lan really worked so hard, he has too many pears and high hopes placed on him.When studying the characters in Dream of Red Mansions in the previous life, there was a sentence in the verdict: "Lan Gui Qi Fang", after the Jia family broke down, it was all relying on this child to support the entire Jia family.Li Wan also got his wish, but when he thought he could enjoy the evening blessing, he was already "faint and miserable, and the road to Huangquan is near".In the end, it was nothing but material for people to talk and laugh.Xifeng shook her head. Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, Li Wan was young and widowed, exhausting all her efforts for her son. When Wan saw his son who had grown into an official and became a nobleman, everything was relieved.

On the night of the fifteenth, Jia's mother ordered a few tables of wine and a small show in the Dahua hall.All kinds of lanterns were hung, while leading the family banquets of the sons, nephews, nephews, grandchildren and daughters-in-law of the two mansions of Rongning and Ningxia, and at the same time graciously invited Xifeng's family to the mansion for the banquet. Unable to shirk, Mrs. Liu brought her children and daughter-in-law over to the mansion.Here, there are more than ten banquets in the Jiamu Flower Hall.There is a table next to each table, and there are three things on the table, burning the imperial lily palace incense; there are also small bonsais that are eight inches long, four or five inches wide, and two or three inches high, dotted with rocks, all of which are fresh. flowers.There is also a small foreign lacquer tea tray with a small brocade teacup from an old kiln, and a large gauze carved and inlaid with red sandalwood, embroidered with flowers, grass and poems.Various old kiln vases are dotted with flowers such as "Three Friends of Sui Han" and "Jade Hall of Fortune".Aunt Li, Aunt Xue, and Mrs. Liu sat on the two seats above, and there was a single seat on the east side.It is a short couch with carved dragon screens, short feet, backrests, pillows and leather mattresses.On the couch, there is a small light table with foreign lacquer and gold painting. On the table are tea bowls, gargle bowls, foreign towels, etc., and there is also a case for glasses.Jia Mu leaned on the couch, chatted and laughed with everyone, and then took her glasses to take a picture on the stage.He also said: "Forgive me for being old and my bones hurt. Let me be more presumptuous and accompany you on a crooked side." He also ordered Amber to sit on the couch and beat her legs with a beauty's fist.There is no mat under the couch, only a tall table.There are elevated tassels, vases, incense burners, etc., and a small high table outside, where cups and chopsticks are placed.At the side table, five people, Baoqin, Xiangyun, Daiyu, Baoyu and Xifeng, were ordered to sit. When every fruit and vegetable came, they would show it to Jia Mu first, while Xi would stay on the small table to taste, and then put it away on the table. at the table.Below is Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang.Below are the daughter-in-laws of Youshi, Li Wan, Yingniang, Wuyao and Jia Rong, and to the west are Baochai, Li Wen, Li Qi, Xiuyan and Yingchun sisters.On the girders on both sides, there are three-in-five glass colorful tassel lamps, and in front of each seat is a lotus leaf handle with colored candles inserted in it.This lotus leaf is a living letter carved with foreign chisels and enamel. It can be turned outward to force the shadow of the lamp, and it is very real when watching a play.The curtains and portals were all taken off, and all kinds of palace lanterns were hung with colorful tassels.The inside and outside of the corridor eaves and the corridor canopies on both sides are covered with horns, glass, yarn, silk, or embroidery, or painting, or silk, or paper lamps.So rich and rich, exquisite and luxurious everywhere, it is really amazing.

At this time, the "West Building Meeting" sung on the stage was just about to end, and Yu Shuye went away in a fit of anger.Then Wen Bao made a joke and said: "You've gone to get angry. It just so happens that today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the ancestors in the Rongguo Mansion have a family banquet. After I ride this horse, it's important to rush in and ask for some fruit to eat." After finishing speaking , causing Jia Mu and others to laugh.Aunt Xue and others said: "What a ghost child, I'm sorry to see you." Wu Yao then said: "This child is only nine years old." Character.There were already three daughters-in-law who were already preparing small baskets. When they heard the word "reward", they went up and picked up a basket of money from the scattered money on the table. Buy some fruit to eat." After speaking, he sprinkled it on the stage, only to hear "huolanglang", the sound of money all over the stage.

After the soup was served for a while, the Lantern Festival was offered again.After a break from the play, a woman came in with two daughters who often walked by the door, and put two pipas on the other side. Jia Mu ordered them to sit down and handed over the stringed pipa.Jia Mu asked Mrs. Liu, "What books do you like to listen to?" "There is a new book, which is the story of the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties." Jia Mu asked what it was called, and the daughter replied, "It's called "Feng Qiuluan". Yes? You can talk about it first, and then talk about it if it is better." The daughter said: "This book says that in the period of the Tang Dynasty, that squire was originally from Jinling, his name was Wang Zhong, and he served in two dynasties. Zaifu, now he is retiring and returning home, and there is only one son under his knees, named Wang Xifeng." Everyone laughed when they heard this.Jia's mother laughed and said, "Don't say it's too serious, Mr. Wang, but also our Feng girl!" Just talk." The lady stood up with a smile and said, "We should die! I don't know if it's the master or the girl's taboo." Xifeng laughed and said, "What are you afraid of! Say it. There are many people with the same name and surname. "Mother Jia just smiled and said: "It's impossible, if your father finds out, he thinks that we have specially arranged a play to watch your father and daughter have fun!" Then they changed another "General's Order".

Xifeng laughed secretly in his heart, but didn't say much, just sat and ate wine and listened to books. 15 The Lantern Festival is a day for family reunions, and with the fact that her family has recently gained the favor of the Holy Master, on the one hand, Mother Jia wants to have a good relationship with this upstart imperial merchant, but on the other hand, she is really worried that the family will not be able to survive in the capital. Wang Ziteng's family didn't have any relatives, so they simply invited all of them to have a lively and lively time together.Jia Lan and Brother Jue had a great time going to play, and Mrs. Liu also received a lot of attention from Jia's mother because of her considerable conferment.Mrs. Wang looked at her hot-eyed and felt resentful in her heart.Just a vulgar business woman, now she is a few grades higher than her own seal, her daughter is even more troublesome, because the old lady likes her, she doesn't even look down on her cousin in the house .Wang Wuyao was also like sitting on a needle mat, she actually sat with Wang Xifeng's sister-in-law, with a smiling face to accompany her.What made her even more angry was that Mrs. Xing and Jia Lian actually wanted their Qiaojie to marry her son Wang Huan. It was like a toad wanting to eat swan meat. , apart from a little money at home, how can I be worthy of my Qiaojie.Wang Wuyao gritted her teeth angrily, Yingniang only glanced at her lightly, then chatted with Li Wan, completely ignoring Wang Wuyao.snort!Who made this woman black-hearted and want to harm her sister-in-law again and again, if she has the chance, she must teach her a lesson, Yingniang thought.

Seeing that Jia Mu was very happy, Aunt Xue wanted to flatter her, so she laughed and said, "While the ladies are here, why don't we pass on plum blossoms and carry out a set of orders of 'spring happiness on the brows'?" Jia Mu said with a smile: "This is a good order! It's just in time." The busy man took the black lacquered copper nailed pattern drum and beat it for the daughter-in-law.Taking a branch of red plum from the banquet, Jia Mu said with a smile: "Whoever gets here will hold the drum in his hand, have a drink, and tell some jokes to amuse him. If you don't amuse yourself, you can't do it." Whether it is tight or slow, or like a leaky drop, or like a bean rushing, or like a frightened horse galloping, or like a flash of lightning, the sound of the drum is suddenly dimmed. When the voice stopped, Mother Jia laughed and told a joke about her daughter-in-law, which made everyone laugh.

The drum beat again, and it reached Xifeng's hands without accident. Xifeng tilted his head and thought for a while, then said: "Once upon a time, there was a landlord who was very stingy. In order to save money and not eat vegetables, he pickled the beans with salt." , then put it in a bottle, and use chopsticks to pick up a few grains every time he eats. He was eating one day, and suddenly, someone told him: "Your son is eating big fish and meat in a restaurant! After hearing this, the landlord scolded: "Who am I saving so much for?" Then he poured out a handful of salt beans from the bottle, stuffed them all into his mouth, and said viciously while chewing: "Let me be a prodigal too!" "As soon as the joke was finished, everyone laughed upside down. It was really a novel and relatable joke. Mrs. Liu laughed with Xifeng in her arms.
