The book continues from the previous text. Lin Ruhai and Lin Daiyu agreed to invite Jia's mother to play in the Lin Mansion in the first month, and on this day, Lin Ruhai brought Zhang Hui and Zhang Gong to wait in front of the Rong Mansion in the morning. When she was young, Mother Jia came out with Sanchun and others, and even Xue Baochai and Shi Xiangyun also took them to the Lin Mansion. Mrs. Wang went to the palace to see Yuanchun because she handed over the watch, so she didn't go, and only ordered Li Gongju and Wang Xifeng to serve carefully. Aunt Xue also asked Sister Feng to take care of Baochai, and she made up according to the product, and went to the palace in a sedan chair with Mrs. Wang. Jia Yu wanted to personally do the Spring Festival dowry, but he didn't go, and ordered Jia Lian to wait for Jia's mother. Mrs. Xing had Jia Yu in front of her, so she didn't dare to say that she was going, so she told Jia's mother, and only said that she was willing to take care of the house. There is also Jia Zheng, who was an old-fashioned and upright person, who had no intention of disturbing the house girl to have fun and evacuate, but wanted Jia Baoyu to beg to go in every way, although he was relieved before, he was worried in the end, so he sent Jia's mother to the Lin Mansion together;

Now it's Jia Baoyu. This Baoyu was sick a year ago, and it took twenty or thirty days before and after to get up and walk, and even the excitement of welcoming the spring and preparing for marriage and the Chinese New Year's Eve festival missed a lot, this time the Lin family invited Jia's mother, and it was easy to get Jia Zheng's approval, serving Jia's mother and the sisters came out, and their hearts were happy and worried. I am happy to be able to meet Daiyu again. Thinking that Sister Lin returned to Beijing in November last year, it was forty or fifty days, but she only saw her twice a year ago, and once she was just in a hurry, and once she was in a coma, she couldn't be regarded as a serious meeting. Waiting until the first month of the New Year, it was a few days ago that the Lin family came to pay New Year's greetings, and they really saw the description clearly and exchanged words -- I want to grow up with her and the two of them from a young age, so I don't care about anything else, and this meeting is too unfamiliar; now I can see you again, how can I not be happy? As for the apprehension, in fact, there is no need to say that the young people love it, that is, they know that the marriage is not possible, and they force themselves to restrain their minds, but after chatting for dozens of days, where can they restrain themselves? I am afraid that I am afraid that I will not be able to control myself for a while, and I will be abrupt and abrupt, so that she will be embarrassed. So he was a little worried and diluted with joy, but he didn't dare to let his face go too much - Jia Zheng saw it on the side, and nodded secretly, but he put his heart down a lot.

I arrived at the Lin Mansion in one moment. On the door, Wu Yuan, Lin Shan, etc. led the crowd to meet, and Daiyu greeted the female relatives in the sedan hall. After receiving them into the house, because they were all close relatives, they all went to the main hall to salute first. Lin Ruhai invited Jia's mother to sit down, took Daiyu to congratulate the New Year, and wished Jia's mother a birthday. Jia Mu was relieved, and hurriedly laughed and shouted. Then it was the people of the Lin Mansion who came to kowtow to Jia's mother. After the ceremony, Lin Ruhai and Lin Daiyu went inside with Jia Mu and others. Along the way, all the way to enjoy the scenery of Fuzhong, everyone can't help but praise once, only elegant and handsome, the style has always been different from Beijing.

Half of the picture has been seen, and it is just in front of the Sycamore Temple. Lin Ruhai smiled at Jia's mother: "This is my granddaughter's house, and the old lady will go in and sit down, which will add to our longevity." Mother Jia was just in good spirits, and a few days ago, she heard Wang Xifeng say that there was a doorway in Daiyu's courtyard, and she couldn't hold back to see it with her own eyes, so she let Ruhai and Daiyu hold their hands left and right to go in. As soon as I entered the door, my eyes were full of colorful lights, the ground was full of flowers, and the trees were full of fruits, and I was so happy that I clapped my hands and smiled: "Good, good, good, it's really 'Huahua and the first, Zizi Dengke'." Everyone hurriedly laughed and said, "According to the old lady Chrysostom." ”

Here, Zijuan and Qinghe had already opened the curtain, and Jia Mu and others came in and sat down. Lin Daiyu brought the tea tray, and Lin Ruhai personally served tea for Jia's mother and Jia Zheng. Daiyu served tea to Jia Lian, Baoyu, Li Kun, and Sister Feng. Sanchun, Xue, and Shi have their own lotus canopy, snow geese, etc. to serve.

After a cup of tea, Jia Zheng smiled at Ruhai and said, "The lights are chic all the way, and the niece's yard is even more clever." Fang Cai didn't look carefully, and his heart itched at this time. Lin Ruhai didn't know what he meant, so he hurriedly got up and said with a smile: "Why don't you say it earlier? The two of them told Jia Mu.

In the house, Jia's mother smiled at Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu: "Your lord is solid, you can't hold back when you see these literati's lights, in fact, they are all in this mansion, we don't leave for a while, where will we run away and can't see? The older you get, the more laughable you become. ”

Jia Lian and Baoyu are also smart and clever people, not to mention that Baoyu is holding a piece of thought, and she is keen, so she can't understand what Jia's mother didn't say. So both of them laughed, and one said, "Let's go to the old lady and pass on the old lady's words, don't worry, just enjoy it with Uncle Lin." One said, "Then he followed the master, beware of slipping his feet while walking in a hurry." He said and withdrew with a smile, and went to Jia Zheng and Lin Ruhai to serve without mentioning it.

Jia Mu smiled and said: "They all went out, and finally let our girls relax and have fun." Daiyu stepped forward and said, "It's better to sit crooked on the warm couch under the window over there, gossip, and rest." Mother Jia was overjoyed, and sure enough, she said crookedly, and called the girls: "Lin girl's family, you should also be lighter." And they all laughed.

Daiyu led Sanchun, Xue, and Shi to arrange the furnishings in the house. Shi Xiangyun has the most refreshing temperament, looked around, and praised: "Sister Lin's house is good, and it is well cleaned up, no matter where you look, it is the word 'comfortable'." Everyone laughed and said yes. Baochai said: "According to me, I should still have the word 'comfortable'." Sister Qia Feng turned around from Jia's mother, and hurriedly interjected and smiled: "The common people's words say, 'The golden nest and silver nest are not as good as their own grass nest'." If you don't have a comfortable place in your own home, wouldn't there be a ghost?" When Jia Mu heard this, she scolded with a smile: "Lin Yatou is still a grass nest here, and the place we live in every day should be a hole in a broken stone." The crowd burst into laughter.

Xiangyun was coquettish next to Jia's mother again. Jia Mu smiled: "You like your Sister Lin here, so naturally you should tell your Sister Lin, just what do you do to me?" Xiangyun hurriedly came over to stick Daiyu. When Daiyu saw her description, she had expected the move, so she couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly pushed her hand, and said in her mouth: "This can't be done, it's only in the old lady's words, you hurry up and go over, don't come to trouble me." Xiangyun walked back to Jia's mother. Jia Mu was helpless and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go, I'll tell your aunts when I get back." When Xiangyun got this, he was overjoyed, ran to take Daiyu's hand, and said, "The ancestor has agreed, you are not allowed to slip away." Daiyu smacked her: "It's a shame for you to say that such a small family is angry, and you come to knock on bricks and grind your feet." Fu smiled and said: "Zijuan, you go to the old man's study in front to get a post, and go to the old man's house." While pushing Xiangyun in the direction of the bookcase, he said, "I wrote the post in front of you, can I rest assured?" Xiangyun smiled, and reflexively hugged Daiyu's "good sister" and "kiss sister" full of mouth. It made everyone laugh again.

Everyone laughed, and Sister Wei Feng stood beside Jia's mother, tilting her head and just being distracted. Li Kun leaned over and asked her, "What tricky idea do you have again?" Sister Feng glanced at her, and then sneered and laughed: "This scene is not familiar? Two days ago, didn't Brother Bao thank you for being a 'good sister-in-law'? Li Kun smiled when he thought about it: "It's exactly the same." It's all to blame on Brother Bao, who took Sister Shi crookedly. When Jia Mu heard this, she nodded and said, "Isn't this what it looks like to fight a small piece and a big one?" ”

Li Kun just smiled. Sister Feng was conscious, looked at Jia's mother's expression, and then went to look at Xiangyun carefully. Xiangyun was pulling Daiyu to write a post in front of the case, and when he raised his eyes and saw the two new books next to him, he asked again. The spring and spring exploration next to it were also added to discuss, and the talk was lively, but no one was distracted. However, Baochai paid attention to this side from time to time, and when Sister Feng looked at her eyes, her eyes were facing each other, and Baochai was stunned. Sister Feng smiled, looked away, and saw Xue Yan holding a snack plate, walked over and tried a piece first, Fang personally held it to Jia's mother, and said with a smile: "I have tried it, it is the taste of the ancestors." Jia Mu couldn't help laughing and scolding. Li Kun also nodded her forehead a little, and said, "It's a loss to Sister Lin's house, even if you are out of shape." "I took the plate and served Jia's mother to eat. Sister Feng laughed beside her, and didn't forget to say: "Ancestor, don't be greedy, look at the daytime meal, use more snacks, I'm afraid I can't eat good things." ”

While laughing, all the ladies also came to Jia's mother. Because Jia's mother said that the rabbit lamp with wheels and wild duck lamp brought back by Sister Qiao the day before yesterday were interesting, Lin Daiyu was busy ordering people to take them for fun, but there were a few more crane lanterns, naughty monkey lanterns, goldfish lanterns, and sika deer lanterns. The crane lamp is a crane in the clouds, with its neck, wings, and clouds all moving; the monkey lamp is a monkey holding a big longevity peach, and its two arms are up and down as a dedication; the tail of the goldfish lamp can sway from side to side, just like swimming in the water; the sika deer holds the lingzhi in its mouth, and its neck twists to look left and right -- all of them are made of hair-like copper wires, which are connected to the bottom wheel axle, making the action like life and vivid. Everyone praised it and said, "In the end, the lights in the south are different from those in the north. Today is another eye-opener. After laughing for a while, Lin Ruhai came in and asked about the day's meal. Then they arose and went up to the antechamber.

When they arrived at the hall door, Jia Mu and the others heard Lin Ruhai's voice praising Baoyu inside. It turned out that Lin Ruhai accompanied Jia Zheng to look around the lights, Jia Zheng saw those lights, and the original excuse to get away with the heart also made this kind of delicacy attracted by surprise, and couldn't help but amuse Wen Si, and immediately said a few words; Jia Baoyu never expected that there would be a test today, not to mention that although he came out with Jia Zheng at this time, most of his mind was still entangled in the Wutong Courtyard, Jia Zheng's poetry was full of excitement, and he vaguely heard some sounds next to him, and he didn't know which one was the lamp he praised. Jia Lianwen next to him has a limited number of talents, his mind has always been quick, he has already noticed that Baoyu is distracted, and he can't distinguish the poems, and he is a little anxious in his stomach, so he doesn't want to listen to Zhang Huixian and smiled: "Brother Bao is ingenious." Don't praise the lantern, praise the lantern maker, the lantern appreciation - no lantern maker will not have the lantern in front of him, no lantern appreciation person will not know the ingenuity of the lantern, the wonder of the lantern. It is like being in the purple, and it is not possible to make a tool, and it is hidden in the forest, and there is no need to know what it can do. Zhang also said: "Sure enough, Brother Bao is wonderful and agile. I couldn't even think of this purpose for a while. Jia Zheng and Lin Ruhai nodded when they heard this. Jia Zheng was even more happy, and along the way, two more couplets were released to make Baoyu into a poem. After all, Baoyu has a talent for poetry and writing, and it is rare to be talented, at this time, he came to his senses, and there were a few words of reminder in the chapter, and he stacked all his spirit, and he coped with it very beautifully. Even Lin Ruhai, although he had already seen that Zhang Hui was covering up for him, he couldn't help but have a heart of love for talents, and Jia Zheng was on his side, and he did not hesitate to praise him. So Jia Mu and the others came over and heard it, each was surprised, and then hurriedly asked, naturally there was some praise.

Everyone laughed and ate. Jia Muyin said to Lin Ruhai: "At the end of the New Year's Festival, the children are happy, and it is rare to get together like this, so it is better to eat two glasses of wine." Lin Ruhai replied busily: "If you prepare early, you will be in the garden warming." A few years ago, someone sent more than a dozen camellias, which bloomed in the past few days. Just ask the old lady to come and watch. Jia Mu smiled: "Okay, let's take the wine to match this camellia." So we went to the warm dock together.

Everyone watched the camellia and ate a round of wine. Lin Ruhaidu looked at Jia's mother and said, "Although the days are short in winter, I can't bear to take a nap, and I'm afraid of being tired for a while." The old lady might as well go to the prepared room a little crooked, and my uncle and I also went to the study to rest and talk, but let them play freely. Jia Mu nodded and smiled: "This is agreeable, I am thinking so." Lin Ruhai and Jia Zheng went to Jia's mother to rest, and asked Daiyu to accompany Sanchun, Baochai, Li Kun, and Xifeng, and Zhang Hui to accompany Jia Lian and Baoyu, and go around to enjoy eating, drinking, and playing.

While Daiyu took the sisters around, she remembered to tell Zijuan and Snow Goose to also entertain the maids who accompanied everyone to go around, and instructed: "Leave Qinghe and Qingmiao here to serve, and the sisters in your family will also be happy and happy, and go and ask the sister-in-law to get the snacks and food." Then there is the dim sum here to accompany the food, save two boxes and send them out for the people outside. Wang Xifeng next to him heard it, and hurriedly smiled: "Good sister, good master!" made Daiyu's face red at that time, and only said: "There are strange colorful fish from the south, come with me to see." As he spoke, he turned around and left. Everyone knew that she was shy, so they all smiled and followed, but no one really cared about the colorful fish.

I didn't want to go to a flower room connected to the warm dock, but I saw that the room was empty, only a large wenge wood case against the wall, and a crystal vat on the case, which was as big as an ordinary boat, half the height of the wall; the wall of the tank was about two fingers thick, as pure and clear as ice, and the afternoon sun shone in from the four large glass windows of sixteen grids on both sides, and through the wall of the tank, the lake, stones, water and plants in the tank were reflected clearly and brightly. A group of red, white, blue, purple, and inch-long small fish are scurrying around among the aquatic plants, and there is a golden thread in the middle of the dorsal fin, tail fin and waist of the fish, and the swaying and turning are colorful and dazzling. Everyone was taken aback, and then they saw that the jar was not an ordinary rockery lake stone, but a coral reef stone, with many long branches, and the flat umbrella surface was stretched out, the largest was the size of a fruit plate, and the small one was like the palm of the hand, the color was white and yellow, gray and blue, the shape was rugged and weird, and the layers were staggered and overlapped, as if the scene of the legendary underwater dragon palace.

Shi Xiangyun was the most curious, and immediately leaned up to take a closer look, and when he got closer, he felt a warm steam, startled, and shouted: "Is this water actually hot?" Daiyu smiled: "It's hot." This fish can't stand the cold, you see that under the tank, and the place next to the wall behind, there are buried copper pipes, which are connected with the warm wall of this warm dock, so a tank of warm water can raise fish to live. Xiangyun said: "What a coincidence! I actually saw it for the first time, and it can be regarded as an eye-opener." Everyone also echoed and said that it was, and praised the gorgeous fish, unique corals, and strange scenes, which are really rare.

After enjoying the game, Xue Baochai sighed: "Beauty is beautiful, but it costs money." Daiyu smiled: "Sister Bao's words are exact." My father also said that the luxury was too expensive, but it was only given by the previous generation, and it was not good to bury and dispose of it at will. Fortunately, thanks to the help of Second Brother Lian and Sister Feng, they cleaned up and put it out now. ”

When everyone heard this, they all went to see Wang Xifeng. Sister Feng smiled: "It's just a matter of one sentence." The front side of the house is being renovated, our family is also shopping, your second brother saw this tank with ordinary goldfish, but it is a pity that there are two special pearl coral pickers in the south of the country to bring some colorful fish, this is not to make up? Why didn't Sister Lin take me to see it last time? Hiding until today, it scared me, and I should be beaten. ”

Daiyu hurriedly smiled and said, "Ah, I saw that the eldest sister was cute, and I forgot about it for a while." Sister Feng hit lightly. ”

Everyone frolicked for a while, and was about to carry them to Daiyu Courtyard again, when a little maid said: "The old lady has rested for a while, and now she is eating tea in the warm hall." And they turned to the warm room. On the way, Lianpeng ran over again and said with a smile: "The second wife has come here with the fourth grandmother and the girls! The eldest lady and the eldest aunt are also here! ”

When Daiyu heard this, she was immediately surprised and delighted, and said with a smile: "The big sister is here?" while telling everyone: "It's the big sister of the fifth cousin's family here." The eldest brother-in-law's house is the Enping Marquis Mansion. ”

Wang Xifeng hurriedly said: "Is it the new third grandmother of the Cai family? When I returned to the door the day before yesterday, the lord, wife, uncles and elders of the family, all of them said that he really married a good daughter-in-law in his house. Speaking of relatives, by the way, let me know all about it. I'm jealous and curious, I want to see a real person today! Sister Lin, take me to see!"

The crowd burst out laughing. Li Kun patted Sister Feng's hand and scolded: "You can be dignified! ”

Sister Feng pretended to dodge, just went around behind Yingchun, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, what the eldest sister-in-law said is the most reasonable-I lost my personnel and shocked the second sister's sister, but it's terrible." He pushed Yingchun again: "My sister is one step ahead, cover for me, and wait for me to clean up and see people in a serious way." It was not a smile to welcome the spring, and it was inconvenient to shrink away, so I had to hold Lin Daiyu's hand and said with a smile: "I want to bother Sister Lin to introduce me." So they talked and laughed, and came to the warm hall together.
