Enemies in the Red Chamber

The Lin family refused to borrow money, Sister Feng made trouble, Jia Lian didn't cooperate, Daiyu ignored, Mrs. Xing Jia She died and asked for money, Mrs. Wang scraped together and demolished the east wall to make up for the west wall, and sold several Zhuangzi shops. Only when enough money was collected, the family-senting garden was finally completed.Mrs. Wang wished she could laugh three times at Sister Feng and Jia Lian, spit on them and spit on them. She was not as good as your garden, and she was like a concubine, so don't think it's impossible to leave you.

Hurry up and arrange for the opera singers and Taoist nuns to arrange the utensils neatly and arrange the animals, large and small, and birds. Jia Zheng followed up with the request.Finally, the date was set, and after the New Year's Eve, Concubine Xiande visited Rongguo Mansion on the Lantern Festival.

The date is set, and it is necessary to have an approximate number of who is likely to see the driver at that time.The master of the Rongning Second Mansion must kowtow, and the family members, young and old, must also follow, and it is also proper for servants and servants to kowtow outside the gate of the empress.Jia Amnesty was grateful to Lin Hai and Jia Min for putting him in Jia Zheng's head, and wanted to sell him to the Lin family, so the old lady proposed to bring Daiyu and Brother Liu before she could speak.The brothers and sisters of the Lin family are the nephews of the Rongguo Mansion's direct relatives, and their parents are not around, so even if anyone is unhappy, it is hard to object.Mrs. Wang also said that Aunt Xue and Baochai could also see the Xue family living in the mansion. Everyone knew that Mrs. Wang of Jianyuanzi had borrowed a lot of things from the Xue family, and no one disagreed.In the end, the old lady proposed a person to catch everyone off guard, Shi Xiangyun.Shi Xiangyun, as the eldest daughter of the original Shi Hou Shizi, her status is not low. Seriously, she can be said to be the most honorable girl in the historian today.But relatively speaking, Shi Xiangyun is really far away from the Rongguo Mansion, so there is no need to call him over to see Concubine Xiande.However, since the old lady brought it up, no one deliberately objected to it because she was just a little girl, anyway, it was none of her business, whatever she liked.Mrs. Wang wanted to object, but she didn't dare.

The old lady has long realized that Jia Min and Lin Hai are unwilling to promise Daiyu to Baoyu. She thought that Baoyu would please girls, so it would be better to let Daiyu get close to Baoyu herself. Who knows that there is a nanny guarding Daiyu I don't like to get involved in the excitement, but I didn't succeed.Now that Daiyu moved away from Rongguo Mansion, and farther away from Baoyu, the old lady had to keep another backup.If Baoyu and Daiyu become the best in the future, they will not succeed, and there will still be Xiangyun. These two have a rich family, the father Jian Zaidixin and his mother are his daughters, one is born in the Marquis's house, and the other two are capable. His uncle is also from his natal family, it is better than marrying Xue Baochai who has nothing but money, even if Wang Ziteng is in the way, the second wife and Feng girl in the house are enough.

Now that you have appointed someone, you have to rehearse the rules of the audience, and Daiyu and Xiangyun also sent posts to invite them.Xiangyun has always been close to the Rongguo Mansion, so he had nothing to say, so he packed up his clothes and other luggage and came over to practice with Baochai.

Daiyu didn't want to join in the fun at first, but she was more willing to draw two more books on flowers, plants, insects and fish to take home with her younger siblings, so she agreed after thinking about it.One is that she was invited by her grandmother after all, so it’s not good to embarrass her like that; the other is that she is also afraid of the endless nagging of the nuns. Stop nagging her about being loyal to the emperor and patriotism; third, I also want Brother Liu to taste what it's like to kneel and salute to this concubine, so I don't believe that the extremely proud Zou Xu can't resist it.

On the sixth day of the lunar new year, it's almost enough to go out, drink and listen to the theater with the people I'm very friendly with, and there's no need for Daiyu and Liu brothers to socialize.After packing up and saluting, he brought the servants to Rongguo Mansion, where he still lived in Songzhuxuan where he used to live.Brother Liu made a fuss several times and didn't want to learn the ceremony of kneeling and worshiping those Lao Shizi, but the people around him were all pressing him to learn, so he had no choice but to pretend to bow.

Baoyu heard that sister Lin was very happy when she came back, and surrounded Daiyu all day, either to talk about how unique and exquisite the scenery in the garden was, or how many couplets and plaques he had mentioned, or to whine about his elder sister's entry into the palace. Unseen resentment.But Daiyu didn't like to talk to him, as soon as Baoyu arrived at Songzhuxuan, she wanted to drive him out, and if she couldn't get rid of her, she would call all her sisters here, but she wouldn't play alone with him.

Xiangyun said a lot about this, and got angry with Baoyu many times, but Baoyu just didn't take it seriously, and said many times, "I just think sister Lin is close."Xiangyun was so wronged that he could only pull Baochai to unite the front, and the youngest daughter said a few words in a coquettish manner.Xiren waited for the girl in Baoyu's room to be unconvinced, and everyone said that Miss Lin was sharp-tongued, caring, mean-spirited, narrow-minded, and unkind, because this Qingwen even quarreled with Xiren Sheyue several times, scolding them "" Miss's heart, girl's life, there is no one in her eyes, so she arranged for the master. You are a treasure in your eyes, but others look down on you, so you are not happy, and feel that you have belittled that treasure. Don't even think about it, but you have the qualifications ? I have been learning that Western flower idea Habaer all day long, so why should everyone become Habaer?".When it came to Daiyu's yard, Yuezhao and other girls laughed happily, and some of them secretly said, "It would be great if Qingwen came to our yard at the beginning."

At noon on the [-]th, Brother Daiyu and Liu ate a bowl of bird's nest porridge to fill their stomachs, and the two of them dressed up and waited in the hut that had been arranged earlier.When I got there, I saw Aunt Xue, Baochai, and Xiangyun had already arrived. Xiangyun was holding Baochai's hand and said, "My dear sister, I am almost shaking. When will your mother arrive?" Baochai comforted her softly. , "Just wait, today is the Lantern Festival. If you want to come, you must have a banquet in the palace before you can come. If you shake, I will give you my stove." Xiangyun laughed and said: "Sister Bao, you are kidding me again , knowing that I am not shivering from cold, but shivering from nervousness."

The conversation in the Baosha was lively, when Daiyu and his brother came in, they fell silent in an instant, and Xiangyun snorted softly.Brother Liu rolled his big eyes, made faces at Xiangyun, and then hummed loudly.

"Hello, Aunt, sister Bao, and sister Xiangyun."

Aunt Xue didn't seem to notice the two children's fighting spirit. She came over and took Daiyu's hand and said, "Okay, my son, come in quickly. Is it cold outside? Dress warmly." Baochai also replied: "Hello, sister Lin, hello brother Lin." Only Xiangyun didn't say anything, and Daiyu didn't care either.

In fact, Daiyu couldn't understand Xiangyun very much. From Jia's mansion to now, her own family has never dealt with Baoyu seriously, and the attitude of the people below clearly shows that the Lin family doesn't like Baoyu.Moreover, rumors of a happy marriage were raging, and it was well known that the second wife raised the Xue family overtly and secretly.Why doesn't Xiangyun get jealous of Baochai, instead of dealing with himself?It's puzzling!

It was not until the lights were lit that the imperial concubine came to report her arrival, so please get ready for the concubine and the girls.In fact, the previous garden tour activities have nothing to do with these people in Baoxia. The so-called preparation is just to take advantage of the time when people are not there to go to the toilet and clean their breath, so as not to lose their manners when the time comes.

It is time to really prepare when you hear the report that you have arrived at the old lady's main room.This time, she became flustered a lot. Aunt Xue led the two maids to check and check her neckline, cuffs, skirt and other small places.Baochai also asked Yinger to look from head to toe, and the pearls on the embroidered shoes were all right and not crooked.Xiangyun always felt that his Fengchai was not inserted well, but he couldn't find out what was wrong, and neither could Cuiyu, so he just pulled Baochai to comment.Ying'er's face was not very good-looking, she might think that Xiangyun was too self-righteous, her girl hadn't cleaned up yet, so she pulled her over to help her.Although Daiyu and Brother Liu didn't care much, they couldn't help but feel a little nervous in this environment. Daiyu tidied herself up and then turned to tidy up for Brother Liu.Brother Liu has his hair tied in a purple gold crown today, and he wears a sky-blue robe after the rain, satin high-soled boots on his feet, a jade-colored treasure-inlaid belt around his waist, a purse sachet with two or three blessings and a willow tree engraved in the middle The round ink jade pendant, at first glance, looks like a romantic young man.

Not long after, a eunuch came to lead the people, and only announced to all the female relatives, so he had to keep brother Liu and order him to be sent to Baoyu.After entering the inner room to salute, Daiyu secretly went to see the concubine Xiande, who was said to be the head of the four springs.What impresses people the most is not how good-looking they are, but the dignified and noble temperament, the appearance is second, and the dress is also well-regulated, and the most important thing is to be prudent.He listened carefully to his words and demeanor, and found that he was holding it all the time, and he was stricter than the queen in his impression.Daiyu dared to say that even though Jia Yuanchun had climbed from a female historian to the current high position of a virtuous concubine, she would not be favored for long, and she must have made many enemies in the inner palace.You are an ordinary concubine, what do you want to do with the queen's standard all the time?Immortal, you are simply sorry for the name Gongdou.

Seeing this, Daiyu naturally didn't take Yuan Chun seriously, seeing the performances of the little girls holding their breath and concentrating, and even moved quietly to cover their figures.

When Baoyu was mentioned, Baoyu and Brother Liu were announced. First, he held Baoyu and cried for a while, then wiped away his tears and then pulled Brother Liu over for a closer look, and said, "It really looks good! I still remember The appearance of my aunt, when I was a child, my aunt used to hug me and play with me, but now seeing brother Liu is like seeing my aunt."

The old lady smiled and said, "Your sister Lin is more like your aunt, don't you think so?" She pulled Daiyu over to stand with Brother Liu for comparison.Daiyu was worried, and Mrs. Wang also hated her.

Yuan Chun only said "It really looks like my aunt" and returned to her seat, and Mrs. Wang was happy again.

Then came the garden tour, and after that came poetry.When she was composing poems, Daiyu managed to write two poems that she could read, and sat there by herself, pretending not to see Baochai and Baoyu whispering and Baoyu winking.Looking around, Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue were smiling at Baochai and Baoyu.Looking at Xiangyun again, I also wrote a sentence to look up at Baoyu and the others, which shows that it was not completely careless and unaware.

Finally the family visit was over, and on the second day, Daiyu wanted to go home as she had no other intentions other than rewards.The old lady had to stop her life and death, "You are not allowed to go. On weekdays, if you want to pick you up, you just say that you can't come if Brother Liu is going to school. Now you don't have to go to school in the first lunar month. It's so easy to come and get close to the sisters. Solve my longing for your mother, and don't leave again. I have been busy for several days, and when I am most tired, it is good to go back to the naughty girl and mother-in-law. You two just stay obediently and leave after you relieve I don't care anymore." Then he said to Xiangyun: "Young girl Yun is the same, it's serious to take care of her for a while, don't bring her home anytime soon."

Xiangyun spoke quickly, and replied with a smile: "It's better here, it's more comfortable than at home. Even if the old lady pushes me away, I have to roll around and pretend not to leave."

Daiyu could only agree not to leave.As for Brother Liu's opinions, they can only be represented by Daiyu, and no one has ever listened to him.
