The Hairpin of the Red Chamber

However, it is said that in a certain year, a certain month, a certain day and a certain place, there are four major families, which are the top of the list of Jinling official protectors.

Which are the Big Four?

Xue Wang Jia Shi.

Among them, the Jia family is the head. The Jia family is a duke who has been handed down for generations, a family of Zhongming Dingshi, a family of poetry and hairpins, and now there are two residences of Ningrong and Rong. , contact each other and have relatives.

The wife of the second wife of the Jia family, Mr. Wang, has a younger sister. After marrying Ziweishe's Xue family, she has a son and a daughter. The son's name is Pan, and the daughter's name is Baochai. Because of some troubles, the whole family took advantage of the younger sister's draft and went to Beijing to live in the Jiafu Pear Fragrance Court.

But there is another family member in Jia's family, surnamed Lin, whose baby name is Daiyu.She is the only daughter of the political lord's direct sister. Her biological father, Lin Hai, was hand-picked to inspect the salt censor. Because her father died young as Daiyu's mother, Lin Hai sent the young girl to her natal family with a letter to raise her in the old lady of Jia's mansion. In front of you, treat each other like a girl from Jia's family.

These two girls, Xue Lin, were not outstanding when they were young, but they gradually revealed some distinctive talents when they were young.

It's a pity that the time is good and life is wrong, the beauty is unlucky, and the life is not forever. This Miss Lin died unmarried, and her soul wandered to the hell.The reincarnations were supposed to be in sequence, but who would have thought Jinling's talented people seemed to pass away at this time of year, and lonely souls and resentful ghosts helped the old and the young along the way. There was a long queue, and Miss Lin didn't like the hustle and bustle, so she quietly hid to one side, thinking that if she had some free time, she would not be in a hurry to enter the cycle again.

I don't know that the world will change with time, and I won't be able to squeeze in any more.Miss Lin was not in a hurry, she just stood aside, watching the ghost's various behaviors with cold eyes, thinking that if she saw an acquaintance, she would ask someone to squeeze in.Who would have thought that there would be a person here, plain clothes and white belt, looking from a distance with seven or eight points of good looks, but when he came closer, he couldn't help but be amazed, his red lips parted in surprise, and called: "Sister Bao?"

One with white teeth, called: "Sister Lin!"

The two held each other with four hands, just when tears came to their eyes, there was no time to reminisce about the past, then the last ghost saw him and laughed and said: "Okay! Alright! I thought I was going to reincarnate, but I didn't want you to meet halfway, which saved a lot of money. Trouble! Let's go!" With a sound of "duh", a fairy mist rose from the flat ground, the ghost messenger threw it in first, his figure flashed, and the two of them disappeared together.

But the middle way is faint, and the way is filled with lingering fragrance.

... I have opened a new hole again, Ni Meng, don't blame me...

Baochai woke up from a dream, and heard her mother say in a trance: "My son is awake?" When she looked up calmly, her mother's voice was still when Xu Niang was not fully old, so she smiled unconsciously and said, "Mother, why are you here?" ?” He glanced at the car walls on all sides, heard the rumbling of cars and horses, and asked, “Where are we going?”

A few words made Aunt Xue laugh: "My son, you usually look like an adult, but when you wake up, you still look a bit childish - let's go to your aunt's house, don't you remember?"

Baochai thinks carefully that this is indeed the case, but it was many years ago, and now that the family is broken up, why did she go to the house of her aunt who didn't know where she came from?But she was serious and didn't ask much. When she raised her eyes and saw Ying'er, she was taken aback again.Not only the mother, Yinger still looks childish, as if the past 20 years have disappeared.

Baochai finally felt that something was wrong, and stretched out her hands to see. Although the two round white hands were as white and smooth as beautiful jade, as smooth and delicate as cream, they clearly did not belong to adults.

Baochai struggled out of Aunt Xue's arms, and said to Ying'er, "Take a mirror, and I'll lick my hair."

When Aunt Xue heard this, she quickly stretched out her hand to stroke her blue hair. Yinger held up the mirror, and Baochai looked at it. A dignified and beautiful face was reflected in the extremely smooth polished mirror. She was a little pleasing and moist, but there was already a bit of depression between her brows.Baochai was terrified, and Aunt Xue couldn't hear what Aunt Xue said, but she was full of panic, reasoned that she had a headache, and thought backwards for a while. is a fake.

But if that dream is real, how can she explain it with her body?

...Because it was arranged by the author God...

Baochai went to Beijing with her mother and brother, and said nothing all the way.Her mother thought she had left home suddenly, so she comforted Xue Pan in every possible way. That night Tete came and asked, "What's wrong with my sister? What's wrong with her? Are the little girls disobedient? Or was she tired on the road?" Baochai said: "It's nothing, brother just go on his way." Hearing what his sister said, Xue Pan made a fuss: "My sister must have something! Don't hide it from me. If there is something missing, just tell me. I’m here, so you can go!” Seeing the gold collar around her neck, she said, “This gold is going to explode.” While yelling, she wanted to take off her collar and “change to a bigger and better one.” When Baochai saw that his brother was so stupid and stubborn, he was angry and funny at the same time, so he stopped him and said, "If there is only one thing I am worried about, it is you, brother."

Xue Pan said strangely: "Okay, why are you talking about me again?"

Baochai said: "I just want my brother to improve himself. Even if he doesn't study, he still manages the family business seriously. My mother and I are Amitabha, so we don't have to worry about it anymore!"

When Xue Pan saw her leading him to his head, he smiled embarrassingly and said, "Didn't I go to Beijing to do some business? Don't worry, our family business can't be defeated!" Pick up a crack on the top, take a look, and see Xue Pan go out and climb on the horse, drinking and hooting, looking serious, remembering the ending of the dream, sighing slightly, feeling more and more boring, and can only try to comfort his mother Said: "Mother, don't worry, I'm just a little tired on the road, and I'll be fine when I get to Beijing."

Seeing what she said, Aunt Xue didn't say much, and just ordered her to travel more safely and not bumpy.

Arriving in Beijing within ten days, I suddenly heard that my uncle Wang Ziteng was promoted to the control of the nine provinces, and was ordered to go out of the capital to check the border. Aunt Xue was not very happy, but Xue Pan couldn't help but discussed with his mother to send someone to Beijing to clean up. Why is my aunt willing to let him live outside?I'm afraid he has no restraint, so he insists on living in Jia's mansion.Over the past few days, Baochai has confirmed the previous events one by one according to the memory in the dream. Seeing that everything has come true, she was horrified, but thought a little more, and said to her mother privately: "Let me tell you something, mother, don't blame me."

Aunt Xue said with a smile: "Mother and daughter, what else is there to blame?"

But Baochai stood upright and said: "My aunt's family is certainly a big family, but I don't know that there are many descendants in the family, and the adults in the family may not be able to control these many descendants. Besides, there will inevitably be one or two corrupt children in the family. If I catch one, I will make a fuss in the future. I'm afraid it will be ten times worse than it is now. It's better for us to separate and close our doors to live our own lives. Mother asks Ji Nian's old servant to watch. .”

Aunt Xue asked suspiciously: "Your aunt is from a noble family, and he has always disciplined his children well, and your aunt is also a square one, so why not?"

Baochai said: "I'm afraid his family is not the head of the clan, so he can't take care of the school."

Aunt Xue said: "That's easy. Let's ask your uncle to ask for a gentleman. You don't need to be an official in the Imperial Academy. You just want to be proficient in literature and science. Let your brother study behind closed doors at home, that's all."

Baochai thought this was a helpless solution, so she agreed sullenly. She stayed outside the city with her mother and brother for a day, and the next day her family went into the city to see her aunt.

Mrs. Wang was worried that she would not have any relatives from her natal family. When she heard the news that Xue's mother and son had come to Beijing, she was so happy that she brought her daughter-in-law and others, and took them out of the hall, and took Aunt Xue and others inside.When old sisters meet each other in their old age, there is no need to express their sorrow and joy in detail.Even Jia's mother was happy to have relatives come to the door. After the family members met, they met at Mrs. Wang's table.Because Baochai saw the sisters back then, they are both there now. Daiyu and her were very good back then, but now they are still childish. Although they are weak, they don't have so many worries. It was a young man with a dignified voice, or a straightforward face, talking and laughing Yan Yan, gestures of gestures, full of emotions, even for a cold-tempered person like her, the circles of her eyes were red, and she was holding back tears, obviously she was a very familiar boudoir friend , I want to pretend to be a stranger, and tell you about my first meeting.

I saw it in the inner house, and my uncle Jia Zheng sent someone to come and said: "[My aunt is already old, and my nephew is young and doesn't know the world. She lives outside, and I'm afraid someone will have trouble. There is a dozen or so rooms in Shanglixiangyuan in the northeast corner of our house. Bai is free, cleaned up, and it would be great to invite my aunt to drink with my brother and sister.] " Mother Jia also sent someone to stay, and Aunt Xue was just as she wanted, so she agreed, and explained to Mrs. Wang the daily fee In addition to avoiding all supplies, he also said that he wanted to invite Mr.

Mrs. Wang said: "Although our family education is not very good here, there is an uncle who is old in the imperial examination to preside over it. If you don't call your nephew, you can go there. I, Baoyu, can see my age, so I can go to school together."

Aunt Xue said: "To tell you the truth, my son is extremely naughty. He went to the family school. I was afraid that it would delay the brothers in the family. Anyway, we also lost hope of enrolling in the imperial examination, so we asked a strict old Confucian to teach him how to be a man. It makes sense, as long as you can understand the books and accounts."

Mrs. Wang heard what she said, but she remembered the reason why Xue Pan went to Beijing, so she didn't force her, but said, "I will report to the master and ask him to help find him." The sisters still didn't talk about it.

After a while, Baochai restrained her tears and chatted with Daiyu, Yingchun, Tanchun and Xichun.

Tanchun asked her: "What does my sister like to do on weekdays?"

Baochai said: "Nvhong, who is a needlework girl, does some reading and playing chess." She has already lived a lifetime in her dreams. Seeing these sisters again, thinking about their respective withered life experiences, she is very emotional, and she is deeply moved by Lin Daiyu's death. The earliest, and the one who was most compatible with her in the past, inevitably became more intimate. Talking like this, Baoyu was left aside.
