At present, the male guests went to the front yard to resettle, and among the female guests, Daiyu followed Baochai back to Lixiangyuan. Jiamu couldn't say anything like "get along well with my brothers".How can Baoyu, a grown-up aunt and cousin, get into someone's yard if he doesn't see anyone, his father, his brother, or his son to avoid suspicion and live outside?

Originally, Lin Ruhai said that he wanted Baoyu to go to his house to study with him, but Jia Zheng was naturally willing to do so, but his son was reluctant.Baoyu at the head thought about Lin's mansion and was so close to Sister Lin, so he happily brought his servant Mingyan over there.Unexpectedly, the Lin family is very well-behaved, outsiders don't even think about looking at the backyard, how can they go to find Daiyu to joke.There was also a fat idiot like Xue Pan sitting next to him, who could memorize those sage books better than himself, so he went back and moaned for a long time that night, and pretended to be sick the next day and refused to go.Tell Jia Zheng to find out and go straight to the front yard, tie him up and order him to beat him to death. After being beaten to death, the old lady Jia scolded him bloody.After all this tossing, Baoyu refused to go out. She just pretended that her sores were still not healed, and stayed in Jiamu's yard, playing and laughing with the maids. Go to Yinggemao for a trip, and still come back to live in the house.In the past few days, because the empress is going back to the house to visit relatives, no one is under his control, so he is extra indulgent, taking advantage of the Lantern Festival and going to the sisters as much as possible.

In Jia's mansion, eunuchs from the palace and officials from the Ministry of Industry have gone back and forth several times to check the direction of the display and arrange for the guards to be stationed there.Regardless of the guests, the host's house did not rest for a whole night from top to bottom.At the time of five drums on the fifteenth day, all nobles from Jiamu down, no matter men or women, put on big clothes according to their grades, put on big makeup, and stood in the place where the eunuch had surveyed the boundary until the end. At the end of the day, the old lady stood in two arms and another eunuch rode a horse to say that it was too early, and the empress had to get a palace banquet and order to leave Fengzao Palace.Sister Feng persuaded Jia Mu to go back to the hall and sit down for a while, while she still stood in front and waited.

Baochai, Baoqin and Daiyu stayed with the other girls of Jia's family. Lin Ruhai and Xue Pan didn't have to see them because they were foreign ministers.Baoqin was young and Daiyu was weak, so Baochai asked Yinger to hug the mattress and stuff it for the two of them, saying, "Let's rely on the girl to be confused for a while, and if you suffer hard, you will all have to drink that bitterness tomorrow." Medicinal juice." While talking, the servants from outside reported that it was the eunuch who said that the empress would leave the palace at Xu hour, and it was still early, and the girls immediately dispersed.Baochai and Baoqin helped Mrs. Xue again, and carefully called Daiyu back to Lixiangyuan to sleep with her head covered. She didn't wake up until after noon.

Ying'er by Baochai's side, Xueyan's by Daiyu's side, and the thrush who gave Baoqin to be the maidservant counted the hours and went to the big kitchen, where they prepared well-made porridge and soft food to serve their masters. carry.As soon as I finished eating, I heard that it was about the same time, and the little eunuch in front of the empress guard of honor had come to report the news, so I put on my makeup again, sorted my clothes and went to the place where I stayed in the morning to continue waiting.

At this time, people don't like to talk, for fear of saying something inappropriate or unlucky, which will cause trouble to the upper body, so the whole family of Jia's family is silent except for the news reports from the servants.The Xue family and the Lin family are both guests, so you just need to stand behind and watch from a distance. After a while, a woman came to report that a dozen or so eunuchs had come running over clapping their hands, and the mother-in-law was not far away.Immediately after Jia's mother sent a message ordering all the female relatives to greet her outside the gate, the three girls supported each other and walked in line behind the Jia's girl. Before leaving, Baochai explained a few more words to the girl who followed Mrs. Tired out good or bad.

It was already dark at this time, for the virtuous concubine to visit relatives, the Jia family and the whole family stayed up from the midnight of the fifteenth to the midnight of the sixteenth, and only then did they wait for the rightful master.The girls all bowed their heads and exchanged glances with each other behind Jia Mu, and no one dared to make a sound, only to see eunuchs and maids walking in along the streets and alleys outside, and these people held hands or Banners of various colors were unfurled, or burnt furnaces with incense sticks were raised; immediately after, warriors in crown robes and shoes held up golden umbrellas with cranked seven phoenixes, and a team of eunuchs on duty held incense beads, embroidered handkerchiefs, etc. After the classes were over, at the end was a gold-topped golden embroidered phoenix board held by eight eunuchs.At this point, Jiamu hurriedly led all the daughters to kneel down to welcome them. When the board was carried halfway, the eunuch rushed to help Jiamu and Mrs. Xing and Wang.

On this day, the main gate of Jia's house was wide open, and the board was carried through the gate, and then went east through the Yimen Gate, and went to the gate of the courtyard that had been prepared in advance. Only a few female officials led Yuan Chun into the room to change clothes.Shaoqing Yuanchun came back after changing clothes, and saw that the garden was full of colorful lanterns, all made of yarn, very delicate, and there was a plaque on it when he looked up. Prescription is the main entrance of the family-saving garden.Not to mention how extravagantly the garden is arranged, the flowers and leaves on the branches cost half of the silk and satin of the Xue family's silk and satin village. repeat.

When the garden was completed, Jia Zhengqin and the gentlemen of the Qing Dynasty brought Baoyu in to write postscripts. In order to test Baoyu's talents, he was asked to come up with one or two names everywhere. With mother and son, they simply put their son's clumsy essay on it to please their daughter.In the spring of Yuan Dynasty, when you board a boat, the clear water reflects the radiance on both sides of the strait. When the boat is facing the internal case, and you abandon the boat and board the boat, you can really enter the garden.When the crowd surrounded the virtuous concubine and the empress entered the main hall, it was another good etiquette for the monarch and his ministers. First, Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng went through a scene under the platform, and then some eunuchs invited the Rong Guo Taijun and his female relatives to self-elevate. There was a line on the platform waiting for the roll call.After this incident, all the people served the empress again, entered the province, and went out of the garden to the main courtyard where Jia's mother lived. Only when entering here can Yuanchun be a little closer to her family.

First, the family members of Jia's family were invited in. Mrs. Xue took Baochai, Baoqin and Daiyu to stand silently outside. The children received the gifts from the maids.Yuan Chun sat in the chair and looked at his family one by one. He suddenly remembered the girls who lived here mentioned in his grandmother's letter and asked, "Why don't you see Aunt Xue, the two Miss Xue and Miss Lin?" I have no job, and I dare not trespass without an edict." Concubine Jia ordered "quickly please" upon hearing this, and then Baochai and others entered the inner room.Mrs. Xue wanted to perform the state ceremony, but she was also ordered to avoid it. Yuan Chun sat down, looked at Baochai and said with a smile: "I saw you in the palace last time. I thought that I would have a relative by my side in the future. I didn't think that the empress queen Mercy, I don't want to part with you, but I still give you back home, and it will be a pleasure to see my sisters at this time." He asked Baoqin Daiyu with a smile, clasped his hands and praised, and those who came with him were by Yuanchun's side Jia's house, the maidservant's maid, has arranged for someone to treat her with kindness. Here, Yuan Chun just had a deep talk with his grandmother, mother, and sisters about parting scenes and family affairs.

Then Jia Zheng went to Wen'an outside the curtain. The father and daughter encouraged each other a few words, and praised Baoyu a few times, then asked, "Why doesn't Baoyu come in?" Unauthorized entry." Daiyu lowered her head again when she heard this from a distance, and Baochai patted her lightly, and then she heard Concubine Jia order the little eunuch to run out and invite Baoyu in. The siblings met like mother and child, Yuanchun He just held Baoyu in his arms, rubbed his head and neck and said with a smile, "It's a lot longer than before..." Before the voice fell, tears fell like rain.

At this time, Mrs. You and Sister Feng came up and said, "The banquet is ready, and the noble concubine is welcome to visit!" Everyone crowded around and went back to the garden to have a seat. Shi, Li Wan, and Sister Feng served the cup with soup.During the banquet, Yuan Chun ordered people to prepare pens and inks, and selected a few favorite places he had visited just now to give names to them in person.I clicked on a few more places and finished writing. I smiled at the sisters and asked me to choose my favorite Fuyi, verses or quatrains based on the scenery of pavilions, terraces and buildings.

Baochai has experienced all kinds of things here in her previous life, but in this life she only writes her own in peace, and stands aside with Daiyu Baoqin and does not try to cheat Baoyu.But Baoyu scratched his head and scratched his head, but he couldn't make up three poems. Since there are people below to relieve the worries of the concubine Xiande's younger brother, they must have some quick wisdom to describe the past.Yuanchun watched the sisters show off their talents, named Xue and Lin as the leader, and praised Baoyu Jinyi. During the banquet, Qiongsu and Jin Yu went down with him and Jialan. After a casual question, Jiahuan left do not mention.At this time, the twelve little opera singers purchased by the family dressed up and came up to sing and dance. They all wore gold and cracked stones, dancing like demons.I will visit the places I haven't visited just now one by one again, without mentioning the inscription reward.In this way, after a few cups of tea, the eunuch kneeled down and gave all the things. After Yuan Chun looked at them and distributed the things, it was already three quarters of the ugly.The deacon and eunuch urged him repeatedly, and Yuan Chun just left with tears in his eyes.

Only then did the whole family have time to go back and rest staggeringly.

After Mrs. Xue saw this, everyone else fell asleep, but she couldn't sleep. All she wanted was to let her daughter enjoy such wealth as a master.The empress didn't find anything wrong with choosing to serve her own girl before, but she was delayed by her birth.When I was in my boudoir, my thoughts were simple. The old master Wang only said that when brothers and sisters watch over and help each other, she needs to keep the money bag of the Xue family. less than.In Jinling City, some dignified ladies from official families dared to shake their sleeves and leave at Xue's banquet, how could they be as honorable as when they were in her mother's house?Although the harem is not easy to enter and I don't want to think about it, but these four kings and eight princes are all upper-middle-class families among the nobles, and they can pick and choose, so Baoyu sees that he has a gentle temper and a polite manner, and that he is born to be rare, so he is already very happy. [-]% satisfied.I have to wait for my sister to rest and go to talk to her. At worst, all the shops in the capital will marry my daughter as a dowry.

She thought about it over and over again, and she didn't close her eyes until the sun was bright.After returning to the palace in Yuanchun, all the members of the Jia family were exhausted and exhausted. Lin Ruhai sent someone to pick up his daughter back to Lin's mansion. The family lives in Lixiangyuan.Xue Pan went out early every day to go to the yamen to do odd jobs. Jia Lian and other members of the Jia family searched for him several times but failed to find him. He had a plan and asked Wang Ren from the Wang family and other idle sons of the four kings and eight princes to save one. Posts come in.When Mrs. Xue saw her, she thought she was a friend her son had made outside, and she happily agreed. She only waited for Xue Pan to come back and ask him to ask for leave to go out and disperse.

That Xue Pan, who spent more than half a year on the anti-swelling and stasis-removing medicine prescribed by the old doctor, and went out early and late every day, Qin Jin did odd jobs with Lin Ruhai, deflated like a deflated ball. When Jia Zheng saw this nephew, he was quite surprised. He only thought that he was sick from studying hard, and now he changed clothes and walked out, and he was quite eye-catching, so he just remained dumbfounded.In the evening, Mrs. Xue came back from outside to visit his mother, and Mrs. Xue showed him the posts she had received during the day: "I was thinking, it would be great if you can make some friends in Beijing. Our Xue family is a businessman, so we have to rely on Which way is it, don’t hold back your hands and feet outside, and be generous!” As he spoke, he asked his servants to pay 100 taels of silver to the account for him to go out to dinner and parties, and then he was so busy that his mind was confused The son went to wash and eat.

After two or three days like this, the Jia family had just cleaned up all the things used by the visiting relatives. On this day, Xue Pan really told Lin Ruhai that he was waiting for Jia Lian and others at home. Mrs. Xue took Baochai and Baoqin to chat with Mrs. Wang. Seeing Tanchun embroidering Huiwen in the outer room, he asked his two daughters to go and talk to her together, and he brought his maid and Mrs. Wang to sit in the third room on the east side and grind their teeth.

Baoqin was young, and when she saw a little light yellow in the flower pond under the corridor, she asked the little girl to break a winter jasmine flower and come in to enjoy it. Baochai was teasing her, so she took a piece of white silk and collapsed it with an embroidery hoop. Meaningful and winding, he drew a picture of a spring with remnant snow as the base of the pattern.Tanchun turned sideways to look at her eyes and said with a smile: "This is good! Sister Qin and Sister Bao will tie it together, and I will give it to her as a gift for my second sister's birthday next month." Baoqin laughed and teased her, The three of them huddled together laughing and laughing, and the two wives in the inner room also squinted their eyes and smiled.

Mrs. Wang is only now full of ambition and high spirits, her daughter has finally made a name for herself in the palace, her son is also studying at home, and her relatives are supporting her. It is true that there is no one in the Rongguo Mansion except Mrs. Jia. enemy.Because Xue's family put in a lot of effort in building the garden, they have a lot of respect for this younger sister. Whenever they find time, they invite Mrs. Xue to come and have a sit. Yes, taking the sisters is also reassuring, unlike the children in our family, who are shy."

Mrs. Xue turned her head and praised Baoyu: "Baoyu still looks neat, filial and polite, and has gone to school. In the future, he will be the right-hand man of the empress." After boasting and boasting, Mrs. Wang knows her What does it mean.However, at this time, Jia's family is like flowers blooming, and the fire is cooking oil, so naturally they are more picky about their daughter-in-law.Daiyu has a father who is a second-rank official, and she still takes it lightly in her eyes. Baochai's family bears the name of an imperial merchant.

So Mrs. Wang just smiled and pretended she didn't understand anything, and casually called Jin Chuan beside her and said, "Go to my library and check it out. I vaguely remember that I collected a lot of delicate and beautiful materials when I was young. I'm too old to wear them now." Why don't you cut some fresh clothes for their little girls and have fun." Jin Chuan responded, went out and found another woman, and together they opened Mrs. Wang's private treasury to find things, and Mrs. Wang smiled at Xue again. The wife said: "If you want to say that my precious jade was born with seven disasters and eight disasters, didn't you recognize a Taoist woman surnamed Ma as a godmother? Because it was useless, the old lady decided to go to Guanli to make offerings As a substitute, the old Taoist priest said that we should not talk about marriage early, so I procrastinate like this. I am also anxious, but it is a pity that I can't be this family. It is said that only a family can establish a career, and I don't know where the fate lies. "

Mrs. Xue forced a smile in response, and in a blink of an eye, she saw two women behind Jin Chuan bringing in a few bolts of silk and satin to salute: "Mrs. Hui, Curry asked me to move all the materials that are worthy of Miss Bao and Miss Qin." If you come out, you can’t tell the servants to ask for double rewards!” These materials include rose red satin, bright yellow jacquard satin, silver red velvet, mint silver satin, and lotus-colored makeup satin. Delicate and delicate.Although they are all good things, they are not that rare in the eyes of the Xue family.Mrs. Xue was not happy. Seeing this, she didn't think much of it, she just said to Mrs. Wang indifferently: "Sister Lao is spending money, this good thing is just a waste of materials for them, children and families take one to play with."

On weekdays, the two families look at each other, if they like it, the elders of the man will send some hairpins, rings and hairpins to the girl.Therefore, when Mrs. Xue saw that her sister had given the satin improperly, her face sank immediately, and she opened her mouth to talk about her daughter's rich dowry. Tanchun said by the door of the outer room: "I vaguely heard what my aunt is offering as a reward? Do you have a share?"

Mrs. Xue swallowed the words in her mouth, calmed down and said, "Don't you like to think about these things at home? It so happens that your aunt wants to reward you for being obedient, so why don't you bring your sisters in?" Baochai smiled and revealed herself. He walked in through the curtain, blessed Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xue, and then went to see the materials Jin Chuan put on the table.Baoqin often sees these things at home on weekdays, and she just huddled together with Tanchun, laughing and laughing, and the three girls commented on everything. Finally, Baochai asked for a mint-colored silver satin, and Tanchun asked for a lotus-colored makeup satin. Baoqin took bright yellow jacquard satin, and said with a smile that she would use these three bolts of satin to make three sets of identical clothes to wear.Seeing that her daughter liked it, Mrs. Xue couldn't say anything else for a while, so she sat down for a while and resigned with an excuse. She took Baochai and Baoqin and went back to the Lixiangyuan.

The author has something to say: this chapter is super painful to write, while reading the original book, while reading the photos taken in the museum earlier for reference.As for the color of the fabric... this pot belongs to Brother Rui's father!
