"Miss, what are you writing?"

"Huh... This is the book. ”

"Huh!! The young lady can even write a book? ”

"I didn't write it, it was written by a gentleman surnamed Cao."

"Huh... But the young lady is also very good at being able to write that book silently. By the way, miss, can you tell me about this book? ”

"Absolutely. The book is called Dream of Red Mansions, and the beginning introduces the origin of the work in the form of a myth, saying that a piece of Nuwa's stone to mend the sky is left unused and abandoned at the foot of the nonsensical cliff of the Great Wilderness Mountain.

Then the vast master and the misty real person passed through the place, cast a spell to give it spirituality, and carried it down to earth. I don't know how many generations have passed, the empty road people passed by, and saw a story engraved on the stone, so they were entrusted by the stone to copy it down and pass it on. It was passed to Mr. Cao, and he reviewed it for ten years, adding and deleting five times.

The story in the book begins with Zhen Shiyin. On the night of the Lantern Festival, Zhen Shiyin's daughter Zhen Yinglian was abducted; Soon the gourd temple caught fire and Zhen's house was burned down. Zhen took his wife to his father-in-law, his father-in-law was despicable and greedy for money, Zhen Shi was poor and sick, and he was desperate; Later, I met a lame Taoist, and after listening to his "Good Song", he annotated "Good Song". Under the guidance of the Taoist, Shiyin woke up and became a monk with the Taoist.

Jia Yucun went to Yanzheng Lin Ruhai's house to teach his only daughter Lin Daiyu to read. Lin Ruhai's mother-in-law, Jia's mother, lost her mother because of Daiyu and wanted to take Lin Daiyu to her side.

Daiyu entered the Rongguo Mansion, in addition to her grandmother, she also met her eldest aunt, Mrs. Xing, Jia Yu's wife, Mrs. Wang, Jia Zheng's wife, Mrs. Wang, the young niece of Mrs. Wang, who managed the housekeeping, and Wang Xifeng (Sister Feng), the wife of Jia Yu's son Jia Lian, and Jia Yingchun, Jia Tanchun, Jia Xichun and Jia Baoyu, who was born to Yuyu. Bao Dai and the two had a sense of déjà vu when they first met, and Baoyu saw that her cousin had no jade, thinking that Jade didn't know people, so she smashed her own psychic treasure jade, causing an unhappiness.

When Jia Yucun tried the case in Yingtianfu, he found that Yinglian had been abducted and trafficked. Xue Pan and his mother and sister Xue Baochai went to live in Kyoto's Rongguo Mansion. The plum blossoms in Ningguo Mansion are in full bloom, and Jia Zhen's wife You Shi invites Jia's mother and others to enjoy it.

Jia Baoyu took a nap, lived in the bedroom of Jia Zhen's daughter-in-law Qin Keqing, sleepwalked in too illusory realm, saw the "Jinling Twelve Hairpins" album, listened to the performance of "Dream of Red Mansions", and the fairy Keqing Yunyu, after waking up, he was found by the girl ring because of the dream, and the two had a relationship.

Wang Gou'er, a descendant of a Beijing official who was reduced to farming in the countryside, asked his mother-in-law, Grandma Liu, to go to Rongguo Mansion to find Mrs. Wang to fight the autumn breeze. Sister Feng gave twenty taels of silver. Baochai once received a gift from a leper monk to cure his illness, and has been wearing it ever since. Daiyu taboos the saying of "golden and jade good fate", and often secretly ridicules Baochai and warns Baoyu.

Jia Zhen's father, Jia Jing, gave up his job to seek immortality and learn Taoism, and Jia Zhen held a banquet at home to celebrate his birthday. Lin Ruhai fell ill, Jia Lian took Daiyu to Gusu, and his brother Jia Rui teased Sister Feng and was tricked to death by Sister Feng. Qin Keqing died of illness

Jia Zheng's eldest daughter, Jia Yuanchun, was crowned a virtuous concubine, and the emperor was a provincial pro-minister. In order to meet this ceremony, Rongguo Mansion built a very luxurious Grand View Garden, and purchased female maids, female nuns, female Taoists, and Miaoyu, who was born in a family and entered the empty door due to illness, also entered Rongfu.

On the night of the Lantern Festival, Yuan Chun went back to his parents' house for a while, asking Baoyu and the sisters to present poems. Baoyu and Daiyu have no guesses, and their affection is lingering. The scholar Mingyan stole books such as "The Legend of the West Chamber" into the garden and gave them to Baoyu, and Baoyu and Daiyu enjoyed them together. Baoyu's younger brother Jia Huan was jealous of Baoyu, and when copying scriptures, he accidentally knocked down the candle and burned Baoyu, so Mrs. Wang scolded Aunt Zhao. Aunt Zhao hated Sister Feng deeply, so she asked Ma Daopo to cast magic to make Sister Feng and Baoyu evil. The leper monk and the lame man wiped the psychic jade and saved the two.

Daiyu has a melancholy personality, and in the twilight of spring, she is sad to fall into flowers, burying them, called "flower mounds", and making "Funeral Flower Yin". It happened that Baoyu passed by and heard it, and she was very happy.

Mrs. Wang's maid, Jin Chuan and Baoyu laughed, and were driven out of the well by Mrs. Wang and died. Baoyu befriended Qi Guan, and Jia Zheng was furious and beat him half to death. The attacker made a statement to Mrs. Wang, which won the favor of Mrs. Wang, and was regarded as a confidant by Mrs. Wang, and decided to make Baoyu a concubine in the future.

There was nothing to do in the Grand View Garden, and Tanchun advocated the establishment of a poetry society, and each of them gave a name. For the first time, Xue Baochai won the championship; The second time he wrote a chrysanthemum poem, Xiaoxiang's concubine Lin Daiyu overwhelmed everyone.

Grandma Liu entered Rongguo Mansion for the second time, and Jia's mother held a banquet in Daguan Garden and made fun of her as a female guest, and Grandma Liu used this to make Jia's mother happy. Mother Jia took Grandma Liu to visit all parts of the Grand View Garden. In the Lucui Nunnery, Miaoyu entertained Daiyu and Baochai to drink tea, and Baoyu also had to be polished. Because of the wine, Daiyu quoted a few sentences of "West Chamber", which was noticed by Baochai and persuaded her, and the relationship between the two improved. Daiyu imitated "Spring River Flower Moonlit Night" to write "Autumn Window Wind and Rain" to express her sorrow.

Jia Yu coveted Jia's mother and asked Mrs. Xing to find Jia's mother. The mandarin duck refused, and neither did Jia's mother, so she reprimanded Mrs. Xing. The relationship between Jia Yu's mother and son is even worse.

Xue Pan molested Liu Xianglian at a banquet and was beaten by Liu, Liu fled to another country for fear of revenge, and Xue Pan went out to do business without face. His concubine Xiangling (i.e., Yinglian) went to Daguan Garden to learn poetry. Xue Baoqin, Li Qi, Li Wen and other relatives of the girl came, in the Grand View Garden to compose poems, make lantern riddles, unprecedentedly happy and lively.

The attacker went home due to her mother's illness, and Qingwen suffered from cold and high fever at night. Jia's mother gave Baoyu a peacock feather woven finch gold fur, and accidentally burned a hole, and the tailor on the street could not repair it. Baoyu wants to celebrate her uncle's birthday, and Qingwen is seriously ill overnight. The Jiafu opera troupe was disbanded, Fangguan became Baoyu's maid, Baoyu celebrated his birthday, and the sisters drew flowers to make a wine order, Daiyu was a hibiscus flower, and Baochai was a peony flower. Jia Jingtundan died.

You Shi was busy with the funeral, so he asked his mother and sister Second Sister You and Third Sister You to help. Jia Lian saw that the second sister was beautiful, so she wanted to make a second room and live outside the mansion. The second sister and Jia Zhen were not innocent, Jia Lian knew that Jia Zhen wanted to play with the third sister, and the third sister You scolded Zhen and Lian, and the third sister liked Liu Xianglian, Jia Lian went out to run errands, and met Xue Pan and Liu Xianglian on the road. Jia Lian was the matchmaker for Liu, and Liu agreed

After arriving in the capital, Liu first paid an engagement to the mother of the third sister, and when Baoyu gossiped about the You family and became suspicious, he went to ask for a gift to withdraw from the marriage.

Sister Feng knew about Jia Lian's secret marriage, so she pretended to be virtuous and took the second sister into the house. Please ask Jia Mu and others to agree. Jia Lian came back, and because he did a good job, Jia Yu rewarded another concubine. Sister Feng borrowed the hand of her concubine to force Second Sister You to commit suicide by swallowing gold. ”
