The Happy Man in the Red Chamber

"Amitabha!"

"Infinite Heavenly Venerate!"

The two chants were obviously different, and two monks and Taoist priests in shabby clothes came slowly.Although it looks neat, it is not as good as the monks and immortals in the orthodox temple.

The two entered the room with smiles on their faces, but the smiles stopped abruptly when they saw An Lan.The widened eyes finally revealed their feelings.The corners of An Lan's mouth curled up: "I heard that a monk accompanied me together, but now I see a real person! I don't know if the two of you have some important business in the mansion?"

"I just heard that the Lin family has a daughter, so I came here to ask for a cup of tea!" What the Taoist wanted to say, was stopped by the monk.He looked at Lin Ruhai with a smile on his face. Obviously, everyone here knew that Lin Ruhai was the head of the mansion.

"Be so polite... Be so polite!" Hearing the intention, Lin Ruhai smiled and motioned for the two to sit down and serve tea.

An Lan sat next to Jia She, playing with the /*/ jade pendant hanging on her waist.After the tea came with a smile on his face, he said, "This year's new tea hasn't come out yet, so my aunt is the bride's mother who doesn't want to bother me with common things. Don't blame the crude tea and bad water!"

She picked up the teacup on one side, lightly used the tureen to take a sip of the tea on top.The Taoist looked at the nanny who was following her, and calmed down: "The two of us have always been wandering around Bodhi, so we just passed by here and said there was a happy event, so we came here to ask for a sip of water and get some luck."

"People who become monks don't have good morals. So good, so good!" The fragrance of the monk's tea is obviously not vulgar.It's just that the person behind this woman is not something the two of them can provoke.I'm afraid that I don't know where the extraterrestrial expert came from, maybe it was brought by this woman.This matter of the Lin family was originally calculated by the past, but now something happened and the two of them had no choice but to retreat.Go back and tell that Fairy Jing Huan, and then make a decision!

An Lan pursed her lips and smiled. Lin Ruhai had heard about the nuwa stone made by this monk before, so he didn't say anything.With a cup of tea, the two agreed to say goodbye.

Lin Ruhai sent the two of them out, but the two hesitated to say anything.Back in the hall, Lin Ruhai looked at An Lan: "Does sister-in-law know?"

"The Nuwa stone matter is one thing. I'm afraid I'm going to talk about the fairy grass repaying the favor. After all, I'm confused... I just drew something that shouldn't be drawn!" An Lan curled her lips mockingly: "I will keep it. I'm by my aunt's side, after all, I'm waiting for little /*/ Niuniu to get married. I'll see you in the future, just call me out!"

"Isn't this an enmity between monks and Taoists?" Lin Ruhai was a little worried about the fight.

"You are Confucianism, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are fighting for this orthodoxy. Now Confucianism is at the top, why care about other things? When you think about your daughter, you will understand everything." An Lan put down his half-eaten teacup and got up to go Where is Jamin?

Lin Ruhai picked up her own cup of tea, took a sip, and suddenly heard the sound of a baby crying.That innocent voice licking sweetness made him firm in his belief.Regardless of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, if a man is alive and cannot even protect his wife and children but is influenced by him, why should he stand in the world?

He laughed and put down the gaiwan and left the living room to see his precious girl who was made to cry by someone after washing.

Walking into Jia Min's confinement room, he saw the woman he had always considered safe, frantically teasing his daughter who was choking and sniffing softly.A child who has just been born for three days is obviously not yet able to see the things around him.Just the slightest discomfort can make him feel uneasy, and he may even feel the need to cry to remind those around him to protect him.

An Lan teased her for a long time but didn't see her smile, so she sat down helplessly, Jia Min looked at her and smiled with her lips pursed: "Sister-in-law, stop teasing her, she will fall asleep by herself after a while."

"It's just that I don't smile. I was still smiling the other day!" An Lan was a little discouraged, and sat looking at the little girl who was about to go to sleep with her pursed mouth.Although it is better than when it was born at this time, it is still hard to tell whether it is a newborn child.It's just the outline of the small face, which can vaguely discern the beauty given by the parents.

Jia Min is one of the most famous women in the south of the Yangtze River, with a beautiful and dignified appearance, a melon-seeded face, a small head and a long neck.Although Lin Ruhai's figure can't be said to be tall and majestic, after all, he has the wind / * / freehand brushwork of Jiangnan talents.When this little girl was washing, she saw that her slender limbs must be a graceful woman in the future.

An Lan watched her fall asleep, stood up and said in a low voice, "You two are chatting, I'll go out and have a look. There's still a banquet outside!"

She reminded her of what had just been delayed, although she said that the monk delayed the time together.At this time, the Sanbai had just ended, and Lin Ruhai could see that his own children would come forward later, and he could tell that in the past, a host would be needed as many times as necessary.Jia Amnesty left to do this.

The wives and wives who participated in the admission were partly looking at Lin Ruhai's Yanzheng's face.The other part is that they heard that An Lan was coming to support them.Of course, there are still some who followed the Zhen family.No matter what, it is an indisputable fact that the Zhen family's power in the Jiangnan area occupies the majority.

With the appearance of An Lan, some of the ladies are in awe of her identity, and some have respect for her.There is still a part, but it is waiting for her on air.These are not important, after all, it is a happy event.The cold dishes are hot dishes and the water is flowing, eating and drinking among the female guests is not as lively as the male guests.Many women in Jiangnan are reserved, and those who have children think about whether they can get married in the future.Those who don't have children, think that they will have one in the future if they are happy.

After drinking for three rounds, An Lan asked the maid to send those wives away with a smile on her face.Looking at Jia Amnesty, who smelled of alcohol, he helped Lin Ruhai into the study.She gave the nuns beside her a look and asked them to start cleaning up the entire Lin Mansion.Who knows if those wives really want to be happy?Lin Daiyu was no longer born in Huachao Festival, and a monk and a monk stopped her because of her.She wanted to see how this Dream of the Red Chamber would be performed in the future.

Back at the place where the two lived, Jia She Yungong disperses the smell of alcohol from his body, washes up, puts on a white gown and sits cross-legged on the heated kang.The surrounding windows are open, and the wind is blowing slowly in the evening. If it weren't for the two of them having good kung fu, they would feel cold.

"The cold spring is easy to penetrate, you need to take good care of your old arms and legs." An Lan smiled and poured him a glass of hanging plum wine. The snowy plums are tied together with thin threads and dropped into the jar with a wooden stick.The yellow mud is sealed and buried in the ground. In the spring of the following year, the aroma of Huadiao itself has the elegant smell of plum blossoms.It can be said that it is a good product for drinking by the window in spring.

"This plum hanging is not as good as the sweet-scented osmanthus hanging." Jia She took a sip, he likes flowers with a stronger fragrance.Plum blossoms are so elegant and elegant, they have faded after all.

"Drink what you have and be content!" An Lan glanced at him, and ordered the hot japonica milk /*/ sub porridge to be served, and she stirred some broken brown sugar in it.Jia Amnesty didn't like this stuff very much, so he just scooped up two spoonfuls of Hulu and gave it up.He also knows that eating a banquet is the best way to nourish the stomach.

"The old lady is going to celebrate her birthday. She said that it happened that Xiao Daiyu was born. I don't know what it is. The content of the letter is so messed up that I don't understand it. It probably means that Baoyu and Daiyu should marry each other. Lin Uncle is very angry!"

"The return of blood is not a good thing. If it spreads, you brothers will suffer. The old lady can figure it out!" An Lan sneered, the old lady knew that Baoyu's background was a good arrangement.But after all, Baoyu is Jia Zheng's son now, isn't it the return of blood on the surface?Is she cursing that Lin Ruhai will have no descendants in the future, or is she cursing Jia She and Jia Zheng's brothers to have only one heir, Baoyu?

Jia She shook her head: "I'm afraid she's already gone crazy, seeing that there will be great wealth waiting for her. I have too many daydreams!" Jia She sneered at the stepmother's daydreams.He couldn't figure it out, the old lady's age wasn't old and faint, so why couldn't she see clearly.Big brother Jing has come out of the temple, how can there be a chance for the Zhen family to dance around?Didn't the emperor treat the Zhen family preferentially because he wanted to ask about King Guo and King Lin?If you don't want to thoroughly understand some things that happened in Jiangnan back then, why bother to treat the Zhen family and Cihang Jingzhai like this?

An Lan smiled and ate the side dishes. Her appetite is not very good. It is better to nourish her stomach.After dinner, she told Jia She about her plans: "No matter what, you and I have been out for a while. I haven't been back for a good New Year's Eve. After all, I still have to go back. I will stay here with my aunt. Let Lian'er and Yun girl wander outside for another spring and summer, it's time to calm down."

"That's true!" Jia She nodded, he was lying on the pillow and his body was warm and the breeze was blowing very comfortably.After all, it meant that he was drowsy. Seeing him laughing and reading books against piles of lead pillows, An Lan stopped making a sound.

After Lin Daiyu passed the full moon, the two of them left Suzhou and Hangzhou in two mighty boats with their maids and servants, entered the canal and returned to Beijing.After hearing the news, the members of the Jia family in the capital began to think about it.After all, this Rongguo Mansion has been sealed off by Jia Amnesty's separate building.You said there is Rongguo Mansion...there really is.But in addition, there is a general's mansion.But at present, the one who really lives in the name of Rongguo Mansion is not its serious owner, but the separated Jia Zheng Jia Mansion.However, these are things that the servants make a fuss about in private, and the people don't care about the officials.More or less, that's what it means.Who knows if Jia's Mansion will be changed to Rongguo Mansion in the future?

The newly built house, although it has the original appearance, is a bit cramped.It's just that Yingchun is getting older, so that Baoxia can't be used after all.It's just that the courtyard was re-arranged according to the plan, and a large group of maids and women have the style of the daughters of the general's mansion.In addition, he has been carefully taught by the workshop over the years, and he is full of style.At least, the five-year-old girl in front of her has the foundation of a lady.

Back at the new house, Yingchun got up early and asked the maids around her to help her get dressed.Holding a stove, the mother-in-law carried her to the main room.

"Mommy Qian, is mother awake?" There was some baby fat on her naughty little face.Nanny Qian, who opened the curtain, smiled and followed behind her: "Just now I was still talking about my sister...I'm afraid there are too many things today, and I'm worried that my sister can't sleep well. We didn't ask us to shout, so we can go over there anyway." Don't be in a hurry. I wanted to let my sister sleep for a while, but didn't this make my sister wait here?"

Yingchun pursed her lips: "I slept in a new place, and I woke up early because I felt rare everywhere." She walked into the side room, and saw An Lan sitting in front of the dressing table, letting the girl who combed her hair do her hair.

"Mother!" She greeted respectfully, which she learned from her mother some time ago.An Lan hummed and asked her to sit aside.The little maid soon put on hot milk /*/ for Yingchun.

Looking at Bu Yao with her side temples, An Lan turned her head to look in the mirror and thought about asking the girl to change her to something plainer: "Use the plum branch ceramics that the master bought for me from Jingdezhen, the clothes that accompany today are a bit Gorgeous."

After changing the hairpin, she sat on the kang and looked at Yingchun who was sipping milk: "Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

"It's a new house, so I woke up early. Are we going to the old lady?"

"Go there after breakfast." An Lan asked the maid to clean up the dressing table, and asked people to start serving breakfast.Jia Amnesty went to court early, and when he came back, there would be a hot kitchen ready.Maybe there is no need to drink with familiar people.

"Won't you be blamed?" After all, Yingchun stayed with the old lady for a while, and she always felt that she was very well behaved there.But since the nanny was kicked out, she followed this new mother very much after all.

"What's the fault of her being an old man and a fluffy girl like you?" An Lan sneered: "You are the eldest lady of our general's mansion, what does it have to do with their family? We came to give them face to show that we don't want to make enemies. Do we still have to watch?" Her face? It's not your serious grandma!"

"Oh!" Yingchun nodded, looking at the steaming steamed buns.The maid took a piece for her, and she ate it in small bites.At the same time, a servant girl peeled boiled eggs for her. It was just a small sip of soup but it was delicious.She eats one every day, saying it is good for her body.

An Lan drank a sip of the fresh soup made by the maid. The hatching chicken was rich in amino acids and easy for the body to absorb.It is a top grade for the elderly and children, not to mention beauty is also very good.

After breakfast, after rinsing her mouth with water, An Lan decided to take Yingchun to Jia's Mansion in the north after drinking another glass of water.

Mother Jia knew that An Lan would bring Yingchun over. This was the first time she saw this new daughter-in-law after the separation.In the final analysis, the boss had the support of the elders in the clan, and she didn't dare to show anything, but just waited after breakfast.

Jia Wangshi sat on the side and waited, and she picked the melon seeds lightly with her fingers.The complete melon seeds are placed in a small dish on one side, so that they can be used by Baoyu who is sitting on pins and needles on the other side.

"Old ancestor, but there is a beautiful sister?"

"It's your second sister!" Mother Jia smiled and touched the top of Baoyu's head, where a layer of hair had just been shaved off before it grew back, and it was not enough to tie it up.I had to wear a forehead strap for the child to prevent wind.

"The eldest sister is gone, and I have a second sister! Will she be at home?" Hearing about the second sister, Baoyu thought of the elder sister who had left him.Immediately felt a little uncomfortable, what if this sister also came and left?

"It must be at home! It's in the south courtyard. If you like, you can go and play with her." Now that Baoyu is still young, Jia's mother thought it would be good if she could bring Yingchun over.Although it is useless, but seeing that the boss built a yard for the girl and put on the genealogy, it may be a help for Yuanchun in the future.As long as she still misses the good of her old grandmother, she will definitely not marry a bad one in the future.By that time, wouldn't you be helping your family Yuanchun?If Yuan Chun can follow that prince, it would be good to be a princess in the future.

An Lan didn't know what Jia Mu was thinking, but just entered the mansion with a small sedan chair carrying Yingchun Huan at the second gate.At this time, Jia's mother lived alone behind the main house, Jin'an Hall, in a large courtyard.But when An Lan saw the main room, she was taken aback.Isn't that a replica of Rongxitang?She pursed her lips and smiled, leading Yingchun through the corridor and into the Cisheng courtyard of Master Jia behind.

"I've seen the old lady!" An Lan smiled and leaned over, and sat down on a spring bench beside her.In addition to the chairs made by Mrs. Wang, this room is a kang.There were two people on the Kang, the old lady and Jia Baoyu.She gently embraced Yingchun by her side: "Yingchun, call the old grandmother!"

"Meet the old grandmother!" Yingchun didn't have much impression of the old lady.Just remember that it was a very serious woman.It's just that seeing her now, she stared at her seriously with her eyes wide open.Jia Mu smiled and stretched out her hand to pull Yingchun over, pointing to Baoyu: "This is your younger brother Baoyu, and Baoyu is the second sister you just mentioned."

"You are the second elder sister?" Baoyu laughed when he heard this, and he liked the little girl in front of him very much. He jumped off the kang and put on his shoes: "It looks familiar to me, but I don't know if I have seen it before. It's just that sister has Yuyu?" ?”

"This child!" Hearing this, Mrs. Wang pursed her lips and smiled: "When you meet someone, ask, do you have jade?" She smiled meekly, with a hint of unfamiliarity after all.Her own child has already been taken to her side, but she thinks clearly about how to deal with this child.Anyway, this is already her son.In the future, that identity will not be a help for his own child.Besides, it's not difficult to just hold the pet /*/.

"A child!" An Lan smiled and looked at Baoyu: "This can't be the second sister, our family is also dilapidated now. After all, I dare not follow the platoon. Brother Bao will just call Sister Yingchun in the future! Or Jia The eldest sister is also successful. In the clan, Yingchun is the oldest."

Mother Jia frowned when she heard her mentioning this: "It's all a thing of the past, what are you talking about. Just let them play with their juniors!"

Baoyu listened, a little confused and a little clear.He smiled and agreed: "Sister Jia's words seem to be the same as that of my sister, but not as good as that of Yingchun. It's just this aunt, does sister have jade?"

"How can people like us not get that kind of thing? It's just your share, we don't have it. Our family is no match for yours!" An Lan touched Yingchun's head with a smile, and hugged her Hair: "I got a lot of Jiangnan goods from Uncle Lin before. I finally got some, and I'll give you a share. It's not a rare item, just something new."

Baoyu himself wanted to lose his temper with his jade, but he forgot about it if he looked up and heard something new.After all, it's a child, it's good to be able to speak smoothly at the age of two or three.

"Do you have to wait for him to come back at noon?" Mother Jia wanted to stay with Yingchun, but she couldn't open her mouth like this and had to turn in one direction.

"It was agreed at noon to go to Mrs. Zhang's house. It was agreed before that the marriage between Lian'er and their girl should not be delayed. I brought Yingchun here. After all, I also have a meaning. It is not good to bring children with me. .Just thinking that no matter what happened before, our master and second brother have broken bones and connected tendons. I thought I would ask the old lady to take care of it, and the house is still busy cleaning up now!" An Lan wanted to see Yingchun more, Maybe children will remember it if they don't understand it.Although Yingchun can't cultivate the truth, the delicious food and drink for recuperation these years is not much worse than a genius.

Hearing An Lan say this, Jia's mother immediately burst into laughter.She nodded: "This is the big head after all, you can go there at ease. If you can't, let your younger siblings accompany you!"

"It doesn't matter, it's just a New Year's gift to talk about the middle-aged people. Specifically, Lian'er's uncle has the final say. Our master is also a generous one." An Lan smiled and pinched Yingchun's cheek: "In Old grandma here, mother is late and asks your father to pick you up. There are fresh crabs for you for dinner."

Yingchun looked at her mother and then at the old lady, and nodded.
