The Dream of Red Mansions of the Post-80s

It is only said that because of Shi Xiangyun and Jia Tanchun getting married one after another, Jia Baoyu's heart was already unbearably blocked.Suddenly hearing the death of my second sister, Jia Yingchun, I felt that my internal organs were shattered and my heart was broken. After crying a lot, I fell ill.Seek medical consultation two or three times a day. After nearly a month, Baoyufang gradually recovered.

At noon that day, Baoyu left Yihong Courtyard and walked aimlessly in the garden for a while.I saw the sun shining brightly, the flowers and willows Yiyi, but it was deserted and quiet, and no voice was heard.When I arrived at Zilingzhou, I sat under the pavilion and shed tears for a while, then I went to Xiaoxiang Pavilion listlessly.

When we arrived at the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, there was no one in the courtyard.Jia Baoyu gently raised the soft curtain and walked into Lin Daiyu's bedroom, only to see Daiyu sleeping on the kang with a handkerchief covering her face.Baoyu didn't dare to be alarmed, and quietly withdrew.Just about to go back, seeing Zijuan coming out of another room, Baoyu asked, "When will my sister wake up?" When she wanted to speak, Daiyu asked in the room, "Who is outside?" Zijuan hurried into the room and said with a smile, "It's Master Bao who is here." Daiyu said, "Come in, please." While talking, Baoyu had come into the room and said, "My sister is awake?" Daiyu had sat up and said, "When did you come? I feel a little sleepy after eating, and I will sleep for a while." That's all. Although the sky is long, if you sleep for a long time, you will easily lose sleep at night." Baoyu said: "That's right, don't sleep for too long."

Daiyu saw that Baoyu's eyes were a little red, so she asked, "Are you crying again?" Baoyu rubbed her eyes with her hands, and said, "Why did you ever cry? It's because your eyes were itchy from being shaken in the sun just now, and you rubbed them with your hands." Because of this." Daiyu said: "Don't rub it with your hands, come here and I will rub it for you with a handkerchief." Hearing that, Baoyu hurried forward.Daiyu took out a handkerchief and rubbed it carefully for Baoyu, and asked, "Is it better?" Baoyu smiled and said, "The right eye is still a little itchy." Said: "Okay."

Daiyu and Baoyu had a conversation, and seeing that the sun was no longer as vicious as before, she said, "Let's go and see Sister Bao. Since Sister Bao moved out of the garden, we seldom see each other, and we don't know if she is good or not." " Baoyu said: "That's exactly what I said. I haven't seen her for several days." Then they got up, went out of the garden gate, and went to Aunt Xue's house together.

Baoyu and Daiyu arrived at Aunt Xue's house. As soon as they entered the courtyard gate, they heard fierce noise inside.The two didn't know what happened, so they stopped.Daiyu said, "I think sister-in-law Xue is making noise again!" Baoyu heard this, frowned and said, "Then we'd better not go in." Daiyu nodded, and they went back.Not far away, I heard someone calling them from behind.They stopped and turned around to see Baochai. They hurried forward to meet Baochai.I saw that Baochai's face was tired and her eye circles were red.

After the three greeted each other, Baochai said with a wry smile, "You guys know about our family, so I made you laugh. Just now, the little girl said you were here, so I came out."

The three walked back slowly while talking.After walking a few steps, the noise of cursing inside became louder and louder.Suddenly someone yelled, "Killer, come quickly, murderer..." Baochai and the three were so frightened that they hurriedly stopped listening.There was a lot of noise inside, "Killer", and some people ran around.Baochai didn't care about Daiyu and Baoyu, so she said goodbye to Baodai and hurried back.Here Daiyu and Baoyu were also very frightened, and Baoyu took Daiyu back to the Grand View Garden in a hurry.

When Baochai returned to the courtyard, the cries of the crowd were deafening.Baochai was so frightened that she felt cold all over, and hurried to her mother's room, only to find that her mother was already crying and paralyzed on the edge of the kang.Aunt Xue cried loudly and said, "What should I do!..."

Baochai hurried up to support her mother, and asked the little girl what was going on?The little girl was also frightened and stupid, and said incoherently for a long time: "... grandma scolded grandpa while eating wine... grandpa couldn't scold grandma, so grandma scolded him anxiously. He pulled his sword from the wall and ran to Going down the edge of the kang. When grandma saw it, she threw a plate of chicken bones onto the uncle... and jumped up and threw herself on the edge of the kang, telling the uncle to kill him. If he didn’t kill him, he would not be a man. The uncle pointed at grandma with a sword, but grandma stepped on him. Kong... fell from the edge of the kang to the uncle's sword..." When Baochai heard this, his brain buzzed.

Not long after, everyone in the Jia family knew that Xue Pan had killed Xia Jingui.Jia Zhen and others came to persuade them, while discussing how to deal with it.

Everyone here was discussing, only heard the sound of footsteps in the yard, suddenly a large group of people broke into the house, it turned out to be people from Xia Jingui's natal family.Immediately there was chaos inside and outside the house, with cries and curses shaking the sky and the earth.When the old lady Xia saw her precious daughter lying on the kang covered in blood, she cried so hard that she passed out.

When Jia Zhen saw that Xue's family was involved in another life lawsuit, she had to go up and down again; Aunt Xue had no idea but to wipe her tears.Mrs. Wang hurriedly sent someone to tell her brother Wang Ziteng.At that time, Wang Ziteng was restless over some important matters, and he was still in the mood to take care of them, so he replied only saying "Got it."

Jia Zhen and others were in a hurry, thinking of clearing the way to cover up the case.Unexpectedly, although the Xia family is not rich in men, it is also a famous family, and there are many people in the family.And because he paid tribute to princes, marquises and even the palace all the year round, he became close to many powerful people.Seeing that Qianjin was killed by Xue Pan now, how could he let it go.Reported to the Ministry of Punishment, Xue Pan was immediately thrown into prison.When it came to the investigation and joint trial, many stories about Xue Pan's history of bossing around and beating people to death were revealed.At this time, even if the Jia Wang Second House had great ability, they could not save Xue Pan.

In less than a month, Xue Pan was sentenced to death and beheaded soon after.The Xia family moved around again, motivating those who were at odds with Xue Wang's family to ginseng. Xue's family was an imperial merchant and received money from the inner government, but they did evil and did many evils, causing many complaints.Since Fang Tianzi ascended the throne, he has been vigorously rectifying the long-standing malpractices in the administration of officials.So as soon as the playbook was published, Longyan was furious and ordered the household department to remove the name of the Xue family and confiscate all the property of the Xue family.

Poor Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai, mother and daughter, lost their son and brother, and were devastated.In addition, the house, pawn shop, land property, etc. were all confiscated and used as officials.

Jia Zheng has always been deeply concerned about Xue Pan's behavior. Now that Xue Pan's family has fallen because of Xue Pan, he can't help feeling that good and evil cause and effect have their own destiny.What's more, there have been many important events in the court recently, and Jia Zheng is trembling every day, walking on thin ice, so he has no intention of taking care of Xue's family affairs. He only discusses with Mrs. Wang to vacate a courtyard for Aunt Xue's family to live in.

Mrs. Wang rushed to have someone tidy up a small courtyard, took Aunt Xue's family to live temporarily, and sent a few old maids to take care of her.Aunt Xue is already an old person, and she can't stand such a blow there, she has long been ill.Although Baochai and Baoqin wash their faces with tears every day, they still struggle to cook tea, serve water, decoct soup and medicine, and take good care of Aunt Xue.Daiyu also came here from time to time, to serve Aunt Xue's meals and medicine, or to comfort Baochai sisters not to be too sad, and often did not go back until evening.

Xue Biao was originally here to send his younger sister to be hired, but now that the family has suffered such a catastrophe, the Mei family has not heard back for a long time, and also worried that his mother's phlegm disease will worsen, so he is really worried and anxious.This day, Xue Biao was sitting in the room. Suddenly, the doorman reported that someone from Mei Hanlin's family had come to pay respects, so he hurriedly ordered him to come in.The man came in and met Xue Biao, and said a few polite words before explaining his purpose.It turned out that he was entrusted by Mei Hanlin to withdraw his engagement.When Xue Biao heard this, he was first startled from the heart, and angry to the gallbladder.After thinking about it for a while, he calmed down and said: "Sir, please go back first. After I return to the elders of the Ming family, I will make a decision. I will reply in a few days." The man smiled and said: "That's fine, then I will come back another day Come to visit and take my leave for now." After saying that, he wandered away.

Here Xue Biao hurriedly went back to Aunt Xue Ming.At that time, Aunt Xue was exhausted physically and mentally, half unconscious and half awake, and when she heard that the Mei family had come to retire, she was even more worried and sad, and she just shed tears.Xue Biao knew that this marriage could no longer be done, so he said his thoughts again.Aunt Xue is a person who has nothing to do, what's more, now that she is in a mess, if she has any ideas, she agrees.Xue Biao asked Baoqin quietly again.Baoqin is a girl's family, how can she open her mouth on this matter, she can make up her own mind, apart from crying secretly, she only said that everything is up to her brother to decide.The next day, the person entrusted by Mei's family came to visit again, and Xue Biao promised to withdraw from the marriage.At that moment, the two established a written agreement, and the two families have nothing to do with each other.

Seeing the twists and turns and everything not going well, Xue Biao felt annoyed and worried about his mother's illness, so he wanted to take his younger sister Baoqin home.After a while, Xue Biao saw that Aunt Xue's health had gradually improved, so she reported to Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai, and then to everyone in Jia's house.In a few days, Xue Biao bid farewell to all relatives and friends, and took his younger sister Xue Baoqin back to his hometown.Aunt Xue also wanted to go back to her hometown, but she was sick in bed, and her daily life and diet were strenuous, so she had to give up if she could withstand the long journey there.

In addition, Jia's mother was very sad because of the marriages of several granddaughters, but now she saw this change in Xue's family, and she felt even more worried, because she felt that her energy was not as good as before, and she was often sleepy and tired.After lunch this day, Jiamu was sleepy, so she leaned on the kang to rest.

For a while, Jiamu fell asleep, as if walking on a stone bridge in a haze.I saw that the bridge was dry and there were no trees on the shore.Seeing no one around, Jiamu couldn't help feeling anxious, so she crossed the bridge and walked forward.Suddenly seeing carved buildings and painted buildings in the distance, auspiciousness rising, a scene of prosperity, Fang Lue feels at ease.

Just as Jia Mu was about to walk over, a sudden gust of wind blew up, and in a blink of an eye the pavilion was gone, replaced by clouds and smoke.In the depths of the lingering smoke and clouds, a huge lantern can be vaguely seen hanging in the hollow. It is colorful and bright like clouds, and its flood light shines all over the sky.Suddenly, the lantern fell down and turned into a small candle for some reason. The candle light was like beans, and it was dizzy.

Jia's mother was in doubt, when she saw many people in the distance.When Fang looked intently, he saw a woman in a colorful dress with a phoenix crown walking towards her.He couldn't see his face clearly, he looked like Jia Yuanchun, but he didn't, and he seemed to be weeping as he walked.Mother Jia was so anxious that she wanted to take out her glasses to take a closer look, when she suddenly saw several women in gorgeous clothes running from a distance, but they couldn't see their faces clearly.When they rushed to the woman in front, several people tore the woman's clothes fiercely.Jia Mu became more and more anxious, and was about to walk over, but saw a man running towards her with a spear.Mother Jia snapped in panic, "Who are you?"

The mandarin ducks were guarding Jia Mu's side and chasing away the bugs with a whisk. Suddenly they heard Jia Mu's voice in her dream, and hurriedly nudged Jia Mu and said, "Old lady, old lady." In one breath, he sat up and lowered his head to contemplate the scene in his dream just now.For a moment, he thought of the scene he performed in front of the gods during the ritual ceremony at Qingxu Guan that day, and he couldn't help feeling very sad.

In the evening, Mrs. Wang came over to serve Jia Mu for dinner.Seeing Mu Jia's laziness, everyone thought that Mu Mu was unwell and wanted to ask a doctor for a consultation.Jia Mu said: "I just feel lazy and sleepy. I'll be fine after a few days of rest. There's no need to ask a doctor."

After eating for a while, Jia Mu said, "You all go back and have a rest earlier." Then she said to Wang Xifeng, "You stay here."

When Sister Feng saw Jiamu's worried expression and heavy tone, she didn't dare to joke like she used to, so she just stood on the ground holding her breath.Jia Mu sent all the maids and women out again, and then told Sister Feng what happened in her dream in detail.

At first, Sister Feng only thought that Mother Jia had something important to tell her, and she was full of wild guesses, but she didn't want Mother Jia to suddenly and solemnly tell herself a strange dream.Just as he didn't know how to answer, he suddenly remembered the dream his son had before, and couldn't help but feel even more suspicious, but he didn't dare to let Jia Mu see it.Then he forced a smile and said: "I think the old lady has been worrying about big and small things for a few months, thinking too much, and she has been tired recently, so she had this dream. I often hear people say that dreams are reversed, so the old lady's This dream may not be bad. The old lady doesn't need to worry about it, it's better to rest more." Jiamu didn't speak any more, just bowed her head in thought.After a while, he told Sister Feng: "Send someone to find Mrs. Xia tomorrow, and say hello to the concubine, and ask her well." Sister Feng quickly agreed.

When Sister Feng saw that Jia Mu had no other instructions, she left.Walking on the road, I thought carefully about Jia Mu's words just now, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was definitely not an auspicious sign, and I couldn't help but secretly fear.After I got home, I washed up indiscriminately and fell listlessly on the pillow.Jia Lian came over to tease Sister Feng, seeing her coldly and lazily pushing herself away, feeling bored, she turned over and went to sleep by herself.

Here, Sister Feng is still chewing on the dreams of Jia Mu and herself, and suddenly remembers the dream of Jia Rong's ex-wife Qin's that day.Sister Feng remembered that Mrs. Qin seemed to have asked herself to do something in her dream that day.It's just that it's been so many years that I can't remember what happened.Regardless of Jia Lian's snoring, he opened his eyes in the dark, trying to recall what Qin Shi had said to him that day.Sister Feng tossed and turned on the pillow, making a fuss for more than four hours, but she couldn't remember what happened.I don't know when, I also fell asleep dimly.

The next morning, Sister Feng was thinking about this, and when she was putting on makeup to Jingchen, she suddenly remembered that Mrs. Qin had said in a trance that she wanted her to buy a field.Sister Feng wondered inwardly again: Why does she want me to buy land? Now there are more than a dozen villages, and why should I buy land?Besides, if you want to buy land now, I am afraid that the master and wife will not agree.Sister Feng was full of doubts and didn't have time to think about it. Because she remembered Jia Mu's order last night, she hurriedly sent two stewards to find Eunuch Xia and Eunuch Zhou.

Here Sister Feng is restless all day long, waiting for the news of those two people.The two men returned in the evening and reported to Sister Feng that they had waited for a day and asked letters everywhere, but they did not see Eunuch Xia and Eunuch Zhou.After finally seeing a little eunuch, he only said that the concubines had all moved to the northwest corner, and didn't know anything else.After hearing this, Sister Feng couldn't help but scolded the two people for being useless, and walked back and forth to Ming Jia's mother, only saying that the concubine was well, so that Jia's mother could feel at ease.

To know what Jia Mu said, let's listen to the next chapter.
