Enemies in the Red Chamber

Jia Min hasn't seen these people for a long time, and there are many parents who want to say whether the relationship is good or not.The children were impatient with this and hid aside to play.Nuan Nuan has never seen so many sisters, and she is a spoiled child who loves to talk and laugh. Everyone also likes her very much, and teases her to talk about the scenery on the road.Brother Liu took Brother Chen to talk to Jia Lan. Jia Huan and Jia Cong were always the characters on the set, and sat there honestly without making a sound. Going to the girl's side, thinking of the beautiful scenery in the garden, the new sister and younger brother haven't seen it yet, so they simply invite everyone to play in the garden together.

It just happened that the old lady was talking to Jia Min about the situation of the mother's visiting relatives that day, and when she heard the clamor to visit the garden, she said: "You have never seen our garden, why don't you go and see it together? Living here, I originally wanted to leave a yard for Yu’er and sister to come out, but the two of them missed my old lady and refused, but Yun’er and the girl from Xue’s family lived in it, but it’s a pity that Yun’er later made an appointment to call her Auntie is too tight to leave the house." She then explained who Yun'er and the girl from the Xue family were.

How could Jia Min not know who these two people were, she even knew clearly about the awkwardness between those young daughters, and she also knew that Xue's murder lawsuits that had not been resolved were all brought about by herself.But he still said perfunctorily, "The daughters of these two families are not the same, so you have to take a good look at them when you see them."

A group of people talked and laughed and went into the Grand View Garden. First, they had a rough tour on the water, and it was already meal time. They thought that they could have something to eat in any pavilion. Unexpectedly, Aunt Xue heard the news that the food and dishes had been cleaned up and set up in Hengwu Garden. The table list waited for everyone to pass by, and then came to invite them in person.

The old lady supported Jia Min's hand and said with a smile: "This is a girl from the Wang family. You played together when you were young, but you still know each other?" Then she said to Aunt Xue: "It's too polite of my daughter to bother his aunt when she comes back. .”

Aunt Xue smiled like a flower, and hurriedly said: "It should. I heard that Mrs. Lin should have gone earlier when she arrived, but she was worried that it would be inconvenient and thought about going later. Later, she heard that the old lady and Mrs. Lin came to visit the garden It just so happens that there are fresh melons and vegetables thrown by Pan'er at home, and there is also a little fragrant pig, so I simply tell them to pack it up and put it at Bao girl's place, it doesn't take much trouble."

Brother Liu didn't even lift his eyelids, thinking that if you knew that our family owed your son to his current state, let's see if you can still be so considerate.

Jia Min laughed and said, "How embarrassing this is."The girl behind Jia Min stepped out sideways, greeted the little girl behind and quietly ordered to bring the gifts prepared for the Xue family, and then followed the master calmly.

Although the Xue family's thoughts of coveting Daiyu did not spread, it was because of their timely handling. Jia Min could not forgive Xue Pan so easily.Later, when I heard about Feng's mother and daughter, I felt that Xue Pan had committed a crime, and thought that if he had the opportunity, he would step on it.It's just that it's at Jia's house now, some things need to be relaxed, it's just a meal, so don't take it to heart.

Mrs. Wang said again: "My aunt is sorry for her thoughts, I will agree to it soon, I will prepare these drinks and dishes quietly, if I don't go, how will I digest them."

Hearing her words, Jia Min paused. He was already annoyed at Mrs. Wang's use of Yuan Chun to threaten her, and then thought that the matter was over anyway, so there is no need to worry about it now. not coming back.Turning to Mrs. Xing, she said with a smile: "The eldest sister-in-law looked at the second wife and said that she is clumsy in tongue and tongue. If she is really clumsy in tongue and tongue, we will all become saw-mouthed gourds." Mrs. Xing also laughed.

When we arrived at Hengwu Garden, Baochai was naturally waiting at the door, and it was natural to greet him again when we met.Jia Min looked up and down and praised: "Sure enough, she is born with a good appearance and good character, ten times better than my Daiyu." Then she took off the bracelet and gave it to her, "It's the first time I've seen you, let's wear it for fun. It's still a little small The stuff is all from Yangzhou, so if you have a fresh picture, please don’t dislike it, girl.”

Baochai hurriedly said that she didn't dare, and bowed to thank her again.Then he went in behind the adults, saw Nuan Nuan was the youngest, and stretched out his hand to lead her away, who would have thought that Nuan Nuan would turn her back and hide.Daiyu hurriedly came over to hold Nuannuan, "Don't worry about it, sister, the child is strange and shy."

Brother Chen jumped up and down to follow Nuan Nuan, and the two of them bit their ears. "That sister is the one that my brother said in the letter that he is not good with her?" "Yes, my brother said that it was because of the sister surnamed Xue that the second aunt bullied our sister and didn't get close to her."

Daiyu couldn't see it at a glance, and the two younger ones were at the end. Seeing that the two of them didn't look like the big ones, they were alive and kicking, and they were still whispering and whispering, standing there with a tense face, waiting for the two of them.Walked in, and scolded in a low voice: "What about the rules of you two? Do you think you are a monkey? You are so out of shape! Do you still have a little manner? Wait, I will punish you sometime."

I thought in my heart that it must be that I and Brother Liu made the master and wife develop the illusion that the children can grow up on their own and don't need to be disciplined.Maybe he even sent himself and brother Liu to Beijing, the two of them put a lot of love on the two little ones, and they don't need to bear anything, just pamper them vigorously.This is not a good sign, and they must be disciplined in the future, even if they don't work hard, they can't really become playboys and unruly young ladies.

Brother Chen and Nuannuan were taught a lesson by their sister who thought they were gentle, and they didn't dare to make any more mischief immediately, and followed behind obediently.Looking at Jia Huan from afar, he unconsciously felt a little envious. Jia Cong put his arms around him and said "Let's go" before catching up with Brother Liu and Baoyu.

Before they were seated, another girl from Jia She's side came in and said, "The Eldest Master heard that Mrs. Xue prepared a banquet, and said that the Eldest Wife and the Second Wife will accompany the old lady and the aunt to use it here. The Eldest Master is preparing a feast outside. After the wine show, I told the second master, Uncle Xue, and the men in the East Mansion to invite the young men to come over, because the men are also close to each other when they are together, and there will be no separation."

Jia Min immediately laughed and said, "Brother, why bother to care about them, just follow us to eat, and put on a stage, it takes a lot of effort."

The old lady said: "It should be, even though the son-in-law is not here, it is reasonable for you to be treated as a distinguished guest when you come. You all go to the front to find the elder master and the second elder master, just remember that Brother Chen is not allowed to drink alcohol." He told Amber to follow him.

Baoyu, Brother Liu, Brother Chen, Jia Huan and Jia Cong saluted and went out, followed the girl to the front.

Seeing that the men had left, Mrs. Xing said jokingly: "Masters enjoy drinking and listening to operas over there, and we girls can also have fun if we don't want to. I remember that the little actors just rehearsed a good show a few days ago. Give us the opportunity to act, why not act while my aunt is here today."

The old lady and the others also agreed.So I found a spacious place and asked the little opera singers to sing. They ate wine with the windows open in the house, listening to the sound of silk and bamboo, and they were still happy.

After dinner and tea, because I heard that there was a girl from Suzhou in the garden who practiced with hair, Jia Min said that she would go to see her.A group of people went to Changcui nunnery and sat in the courtyard for fear of being bumped by eating wine and meat just because they were offering sacrifices to Bodhisattvas in the nunnery.

Miaoyu was busy making tea, Jia Min beckoned, "Come here and let me have a look, don't be busy drinking tea, we just came here after drinking tea." He took Miaoyu's hand and looked at it for a while , stood up and walked around to look around again, seeing Miaoyu ashamed and annoyed, thinking where did the woman come from, she looked like an elegant person, how could she be so rude.

Unexpectedly, Jia Min's eyes were red, and she calmed down after wiping with a handkerchief for a while, and asked, "Good boy, do you still remember your parents' names?"

Seeing Jia Min like this, Miaoyu couldn't figure out that the woman in front of her might recognize her parents. She left home since she was a child, and later her parents died and lived with her master. Now she is not excited by her parents' words, and her eyes are red: " I remember. Although I was only three years old when I left home, I was already seven years old when my parents died. daughter."

Hearing this, Jia Min was even more excited, "Good boy, it really is you. When I first heard about it, I thought, how can there be such a coincidence, they are all from Suzhou, born in an official family, both parents died, both are Since he was weak and sick, he was led to practice in the temple, and he came to the capital for the Avalokitesvara Ruins and the Beiye Inscriptions. Sure enough, he is the child of Sister Su."

Miaoyu's tears fell instantly, "Ma'am, do you know my mother?"

Jia Min sighed: "Didn't you recognize me?" Then she called Daiyu over, "Yu'er, come here to see your elder sister from the Gu family." After that, she smiled and said, "Coincidentally, she is Daiyu, and you are Miaoyu. It should be a family."

He explained to everyone: "Yu'er's great-grandmother was born in the Su family in Suzhou. After her grandmother passed away, the Lin family left her hometown in Suzhou. The contact between the two families gradually became less frequent. It was after my mother-in-law passed away that my husband Fu Ling and I returned home. , I met Miaoyu's mother again, and later I realized that they were relatives in terms of seniority."

"The Gu family, like the Lin family, has been passed down from generation to generation. Sister Su didn't know how happy she was to have Miaoyu at that time. Unfortunately, the child's body is not good. I found someone who understands it. I just said that it must be raised in the temple. Also I used to learn from others and found a child who sent my name as a substitute, but it didn’t work. There was no way for Sister Su and her husband to send their eyeball-like daughter to the temple to practice. Coincidentally, there was a Linghui master in Suzhou at that time , proficient in Buddhist fortune-telling, so I begged her to be the girl's master."

"Later, after my filial piety, I went to Yangzhou with my husband, and lost contact with Sister Su. When I heard the news that Master Gu and Sister Su had passed away, I would go to Loukong to find the girl. Go to Master Linghui It is said that Master Linghui took his disciples all over the world to find the relics of Guanyin and the remains of Baye leaves. After more than ten years, I have not heard any news, until now."

Miaoyu went on to say: "At the time, my parents died, and there were no other people in the family. It happened that something important happened in my grandmother's house. In order to avoid getting involved, I didn't pick me up at all. Only the master handed over half of the family property to the yamen, and the other half was lightly handed over. Let me take the bulky money and exchange it for me, even if I follow the master, I will be able to live in wealth for a lifetime. Later, the master passed away and told me that if I stay in Beijing, I will naturally have a place. Host, please sincerely invite me, and I will come."

Everyone kept chanting Amitabha Buddha, saying that this was Miaoyu's good fortune, and it was also the fate of the two people. What should be found will be found after all.Some people praised Master Linghui as expected, and they asked Miaoyu to wait in Beijing because Mrs. Lin would be able to find her when she came to Beijing.
