On the first day of the fifth month, there were many vehicles and crowds of people and horses in front of Rongguo Mansion. Mother Jia sits in an eight-person sedan chair, Li Kun, Sister Feng, and Aunt Xue each sit in a four-person sedan chair, Baochai and Daiyu sit in a fragrant car, and Yingchun and other Sanchun sisters sit in a canopy car. Behind them are a large group of girls, and there are also red jade among Sister Feng's girls, a total of no less than dozens of people. The car occupies a street of black pressure.

How far has Jia's mother's sedan chair gone, and the front of the door has not yet been seated. The maids said "I'm not with you", the other said "you pressed our grandmother's burden", the car said "rubbed my flowers", and this side said "touched my fan", chattering, and finally sat down, Baoyu rode a horse, in front of Jia's mother's sedan chair, and separated from the street people.

Entering the big temple, all the Taoist priests in the temple were on the side of the road to greet them, but the temple was already empty of men, all the men were driven away, and they did not let outsiders in. Jia Zhen stood on the steps of this door and asked, "Where is the housekeeper?" The little guys all shouted together: "Call the housekeeper!" Immediately, Lin Zhixiao ran over while arranging his hat and came to Jia Zhen.

Jia Zhen said: "Pick a few more small doors, on these two doors and on the two corner doors, waiting to ask for things to pass the word." Do you know that the young ladies and grandmothers are all out today, and not a single idler is allowed to enter. ”

Lin Zhixiao promised to know, so he took someone with him. Jia Zhen said again: "Why don't you see Rong'er? ”

Before a word was spoken, Jia Rong ran out of the bell tower. Jia Zhen said: "Look at him, I haven't dared to say hot here, he went to the cold!" So he ordered the little servant to smack him. The little guy didn't dare to disobey, and one of them walked up to Jia Rong and spat him in the face. Jia Zhen said again: "Ask him! The little guy asked Jia Rong: "Master is not afraid of the heat, why did my brother go to the cool first?" ”

Jia Rong hung her hands and didn't dare to say a word. Jia Yun, Jia Ping, Jia Qin, Jia Huang, Jia Qiong and so on next to them all panicked, and slowly slipped up from under the wall one by one. Don't dare to take advantage of the cold.

After Jia Zhen finished performing this bitter trick and Yao Dawei, she said to Jia Rong again: "What are you doing standing?" Why don't you get up and go home, tell your mother, and tell them to come and serve. The old ladies are here. ”

When Jia Rong heard this, she hurriedly ran out, and while asking for a horse, she complained: "I don't know what to do for a long time, this will find fault with me." "This Jia Zhen's organizational ability is also not good, his hometown is not ready, and there is a mess in front of him.

Jia Zhen was just about to enter the second gate, and Daoist Zhang next to him smiled and said, "Will I still go in?" It stands to reason that I should go in, but the ladies are all there. This Taoist priest was a stand-in for Rong Guogong at that time (at that time, some princes and nobles wanted to be monks, but they were reluctant to be happy in the world and couldn't go, so they found a stand-in who looked like themselves as a monk and a Taoist priest, called a monk), and now he is over eighty years old, Jia Zhen hurriedly said: "Our own people, what are you talking about." Don't come in with me yet. Besides, I've pulled your beard back. ”

So, come in together. Jia Mu saw Daoist Zhang, greeted each other, and asked Baoyu to go up to meet him. Baoyu hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How is Grandpa Zhang?" Daoist Zhang hugged Baoyu and smiled at Jia's mother: "Brother is getting more and more blessed." "- At that time, it was flattery to praise people for being fat, but now it is scolding.

Jia Mu said: "He is good on the outside, but weak on the inside." In addition, his old son forced him to study, and forced a child out of illness. "—what a point of this spoiling.

Daoist Zhang laughed and sighed: "I look at this brother's description of his figure, words and deeds, how can he be the same as the grandfather of the country that day!" Tears welled up in his eyes as he spoke.

The grandfather of that country is Jia's mother's husband, Baoyu's grandfather, and the object of his stand-in, they were all children at the time. The child found a stand-in, and there was a stand-in to serve the Jade Emperor over there, and his real body would be blessed for a hundred years. It's a pity that the emperor still let the one who didn't attend the person die first.

When Mother Jia heard the mention of her old husband, she couldn't help but have tears on her face, and said, "Exactly, this group of children and grandchildren I raised is just like his grandfather." - No wonder doting.

Daoist Zhang said: "The day before yesterday, I saw a young lady (he is not old-hearted), fifteen years old this year, and she was born with a good appearance. I thought it was time for my brother to look for relatives. If you talk about this young lady's appearance, intelligence, and belongings, she is also worthy of it. But I don't know what the old lady thinks. ”

Mother Jia then said something that was going to make Lin Daiyu angry with heat stroke: "Last time, a monk said that this child should not marry early in his life (now he is only thirteen), let's wait until he is older." You can ask now, no matter what her foundation is, as long as she looks worthy, come and tell me. Even if it's from a poor family, just give her a few taels of silver. It's just that the appearance and character are rare and good. ”

This Jia Mu prefers good-looking women, and she has the first good impression if she is generally good-looking. She was heard by Daiyu next to her, and shouted that she wanted to go out and find another partner for Baoyu, but she didn't know how to make Daiyu angry. I don't know why Mother Jia said such a thing, this is the same as the gift that Jia Yuanchun gave to Baochai of the same level as Baoyu, and they are two unsolvable problems. Or these two issues can be understood together, Jia Yuanchun gave Baochai a gift of the same specifications as Baoyu, implying that he hoped that Baochai and Baoyu would be combined, but this was not in line with Jia's mother's wishes, although it may be very much in line with Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang, the latter is Aunt Xue's sister, the two can be regarded as close to each other, and it also strengthens the control of the Wang family in the Jia family. But Mother Jia has always hoped that Baoyu and Daiyu would get married, so Mother Jia did not respond to the hint of the imperial concubine Yuanchun, and said this here, obviously for Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang, I don't care what the foundation of Baoyu's future target family is, that is, I don't care if the Wang family is rich, and finding another outsider for Baoyu is tantamount to euphemistically telling Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang not to make such plans.

After Mother Jia finished speaking, she saw Sister Feng smile and said, "Grandpa Zhang, did you send our girl's name charm (Sister Qiao's, Sister Feng's daughter's) last time?" You still have such a big face, so you sent someone to get our goose yellow satin first. ”

Daoist Zhang laughed and said, "I was dazzled, I didn't see my grandmother here, and I didn't say thank you (thank you for the gift of satin)." The talisman has already been prepared, so I'll take it. After saying that, he ran to the main hall, took a tea tray, and held a cloth on it, and a name charm was held on the cloth, and came over. Sister Qiao's nurse took the charm.

Sister Feng smiled and said, "You just have the talisman in your hand and hold it on a plate." Daoist Zhang dealt with rich and noble people all day long, and he was also a person who could speak, saying: "My hands are not clean, how to take it, use a plate to be clean." Sister Feng smiled and said, "You came out with a plate like this, it scared me." I don't say you're here to send talismans, but it's like you're here to make a fortune for us. When they heard this, they all laughed. Even Jia Zhen couldn't hold back her laughter.

Jia Mu said: "Monkey monkey, you are not afraid of hell with your tongue cut!" ”

Sister Feng likes to make the old lady happy when she finds an opportunity. This can't be said to be completely flattering, but also has the meaning of filial piety to the elderly. Old man, don't you just want to be silly.

The Taoist priest Zhang entrusted thirty or fifty magic weapons, all of which were jade, Huang, Ruyi, or something, and gave them to Jia Mu, saying that he had a little heart. Jia Mu doesn't want to. Zhang said: "The old lady doesn't want it, so let them look at the small road, not like they are from the door." "I don't want to give gifts, others despise me, don't say that I have an iron relationship with you.

Jia Mu listened, and then ordered someone to take it. So, the group went in and went upstairs to sit down and watch the play. The first play is called "The Story of the White Snake", which is about the uprising of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, which can foreshadow the rise of the Jia family; The second play is called "Full Bed Wat", saying that Guo Ziyi has great achievements, and the family is an official, and when he came to the festival, his children and grandchildren put down the wat (the official's notebook, read it when the emperor reads it, and the emperor writes it down), and puts it on the bed. This is the heyday of the Jia family. The third is "Nanke's Dream", which is a person who dreams of being a concubine, but in the end it is a dream (that is, the idiom of Huangliang's dream), which implies that the Jia family is no longer good. When Jia Mu heard the name of this play, she stopped laughing and stopped talking. This Taoist priest is too, and so is Jia Zhen, how to arrange it, what kind of drama is not good, how unlucky. Of course, this is not the case, and it is the original storyteller who chose the titles of these plays in order to illustrate something.

While watching the play, Baoyu played back and forth with the plate of thirty-five gift artifacts just now, and held it up to Jia's mother to watch and play. When Najamu saw a red and golden-dotted unicorn (the golden unicorn made of emerald stones), she stretched out her hand to take it, and said with a smile, "This thing seems to have seen someone's child wearing such a thing." ”

Baochai smiled and said, "Sister Shi has one, which is smaller than this." "This treasure hairpin is too, always staring at the jade, gold, and unicorn that people wear. Compare, look like a good match or not.

Jia Mu said, "Yes. ”

Baoyu said, "Why haven't I seen it?" ”

Tanchun (Baoyu's half-sister, born to Aunt Zhao) said: "Sister Bao has a heart, she remembers everything." ”

Na Daiyu sneered and said: "She is still limited in other aspects, only these people are more and more attentive to the things they wear." "Huh! When Bao Chai heard this, he turned his head and pretended not to hear.

Baoyu heard that Shi Xiangyun had such a unicorn, so he picked up the unicorn and carried it in his arms. But I was worried in my heart, because Miss Shi had this, he picked up such one, and others saw it and said that he had ulterior motives (to make a pair with Miss Shi), so he didn't worry, so he glanced around to see who had noticed his actions just now. I saw that everyone ignored him, but Lin Daiyu looked at him and nodded, as if she admired him. Baoyu twisted it, took out the golden unicorn again, and smiled at Daiyu and said, "This thing is fun, I'll keep it for you, and you can wear it when you get home." ”

Daiyu twisted her head and said, "I'm not rare. ”

Baoyu smiled and said, "If you don't get it, I'll take it." After saying that, he took it back as usual.

Just as he was about to speak again, Jia Zhen's daughter-in-law You Shi (long time no see) and Jia Rong's newly married daughter-in-law all came by car. Jia Mu said: "What are they doing in this labor, I just come to shop casually." After a while, relatives and friends from all over the world sent people to give gifts. The people who know Jiafu are here to pray for blessings, and they all come to give gifts. Jia Mu regretted it and alarmed everyone. So in the afternoon, I didn't want to watch the play, so I went back. And I didn't want to go the next day.

Then Sister Feng still went to it, saying that she was already alarmed anyway, so it was better to go shopping around Lele like this. But Jia's mother, because Daoist Zhang mentioned the matter of saying goodbye to Baoyu today, as soon as Baoyu came back, she kept saying that she would never see Daoist Zhang again from now on (angry). As for Lin Daiyu, because the weather in Beijing has been very hot in May, she went home today and suffered from heat stroke again, and she couldn't go. Because of these two things, although Sister Feng persuaded her, Mother Jia also insisted on not going anymore. Sister Feng didn't go when she saw it, so she went again the next day.

This Jia's mother didn't go because Daiyu suffered from heat stroke, which means that she hurts Daiyu again.

In fact, Jia Mu said that she asked Daoist Zhang to find a partner, but it was just a wait-and-see attitude to take a look and find more, which was not incredible. If you had this intention, you would have taken the initiative to send someone or look for it on the Internet, but it is not as if you were in a hurry to find it.

As a result, the next day, Baoyu and Daiyu still fought - the two had to fight every day. Na Baoyu, because of Daiyu's heat stroke, couldn't eat, and ran over to greet him from time to time. Na Daiyu was afraid that he would have a bad day (too worried about himself and a bad day), so he said: "You just watch your play, what are you doing at home?" Baoyu misunderstood, Baoyu originally because of yesterday's words of Daoist Zhang's marriage, his heart was not used to listen to it, but now when he heard Daiyu say this, he felt that he was ridiculing himself, and thought: "Others (Daoist Zhang) don't know my heart, so I can forgive you for saying this, even you ridiculed me." So he immediately lowered his face and said to Daiyu: "I know you in vain, forget it!" Never mind! "-Meaning, Daoist Zhang said that, I don't agree with it at all, you really think I love to listen, persuade me to go to the play and listen to him again, forget it, forget it.

When Daiyu heard this, she sneered twice: "I also know that Bai recognizes me, where is there anything like someone else?" "Meaning, I don't have that gold thing worthy of you, you have been dealing with me in vain, and it has been wasted.

When Baoyu heard this, he asked his face: "When you say that, you are cursing me to destroy heaven and earth!" ”

Daiyu didn't understand how this came about for a while, so Baoyu said again: "I swore an oath for this yesterday, and today you said that I am." I will be destroyed by heaven and earth, what good will it do you? ”

The meaning of this is that this lover's words are very difficult to explain, and only science students like us can seriously explain it - Baoyu said yesterday that others say what gold and jade, but I don't have this idea in my heart, and I have to have this idea in my heart, and the heavens and the earth will be destroyed. Now, you say that I think you don't have gold and my jade match, so I say that I recognize you in vain, which is tantamount to ruling that I still have that idea, so I should be condemned to heaven. You are pushing me to be destroyed by heaven and earth.

When Daiyu heard this, Fang felt that he had indeed said something wrong - everyone had sworn an oath, and he didn't say that people had the heart of Jinyu, which was too unreasonable, so Daiyu was anxious and ashamed, so she trembled and said: "If I curse you with peace of mind, I will also be destroyed." Why bother! I know, yesterday Daoist Zhang said kiss, you are afraid of hindering your good marriage (afraid that Daoist Zhang's kiss will hinder your good marriage with the golden Baochai), you are angry, come and make me angry! ”

This Daiyu! It seemed to admit a mistake in the front, but it turned out to provoke right and wrong in the back, and it was still insisted that Baoyu was thinking about the good marriage of Jinyu. Still not mistaken.

It turned out that Baoyu's mind was to be on good terms with Daiyu, but so far he has not said it directly, just secretly tempted. He was angry with Daiyu that I was single-minded about your heart, others didn't know, you didn't believe it, and you always ridiculed me, it can be seen that you don't care about my discomfort, you don't care about my discomfort, which means that you don't have me in your heart. And Daiyu thought like this: "You have me in your heart, even if others have 'golden jade theory', but you don't care, you won't value this heresy and don't value me." In this way, I often mention the statement of 'golden jade', you just don't care, just don't smell it, only then does it seem that you are treating me sincerely, and you don't have that 'golden jade' heart. But as soon as I mention the matter of 'Jin Yu', you are in a hurry, it can be seen that you have the 'Jin Yu' in your heart, and when you see me mention it, you are afraid that I will be too careful, so you are deliberately anxious and coax me with peace of mind. ”

So these two people are not very clear about each other's attitude towards themselves, and they are suspicious of each other, so Daiyu always mentions the "golden jade" thing, testing whether Baoyu has a heart for herself, and Baoyu sees her tempting, she feels that she is ridiculing herself, and she doesn't believe that she doesn't have the heart of "golden jade", and would rather be anxious and mention it repeatedly, which shows that Daiyu doesn't care about my troubles, that is, she doesn't have that heart for herself.

In short, both of them want each other to love themselves 100%, and they always think that the other party is not, and the more they try to transfer each other, the greater the contradiction.

When this Baoyu heard the words "good marriage" just now, he thought more and more that the other party was against his own intentions, and he choked in his heart, unable to speak, and grabbed the Tongling Baoyu from his neck in anger, and fell to the ground fiercely, saying: "What Laoshizi, I smashed you and finished!" ”

The jade was not broken, so Baoyu turned around and looked for something to smash. When Daiyu saw him like this, she had already cried (this crying is not regret, thinking that she misunderstood the other party, but thinking that you smashed the jade like this, not to make me happy, and it can't deny that you care about the "golden jade" words, so this is really angry), and said: "Why bother, you smashed that dumb object." If you smash it, you might as well smash me! - I said that I blocked a good marriage, and you were angry, but in fact, I blocked your good marriage, so you might as well smash me.

The two were making trouble, and the maid Zijuan Snow Goose next to Daiyu was busy to persuade them. That Baoyu smashed the jade with all her strength, and the maid came to grab it, but she couldn't take it down, so she had to send someone to find the attacker. The attacker was busy coming, so he took the jade down. Baoyu sneered and said, "You guys, what do I have to do with you when I smash my things!" ”

Actually, too, you don't care about that, so you just ignore it, get in a hurry, and smash the jade, doesn't it still mean that you're afraid of that? Even if you are afraid of those words, you still have ghosts in your heart, that is, there are still some people who care about the words of "gold and jade". Stupid, I think the same thing as Daiyu. It seems that I am also a person with a narrow temperament like Daiyu.

If Baoyu didn't mean anything to Baochai, and he wasn't sure, he just looked at his arm and was stunned. So Daiyu asked him, it wasn't completely vexatious and messing around.

Na Baoyu thought to herself, you always use those words to force me, it shows that you don't believe me, and you don't care about my troubles and worries, that is, you don't love me, you forced me to jump off the wall in a hurry, and I can only smash the jade.

Seeing that Baoyu's face turned yellow, the attacker politely persuaded him, saying, "You don't have to smash the jade if you quarrel with your sister." If it is smashed, how will she live in her heart? "Daiyu is crying, as soon as I hear this is talking about my heart, you can't see that I don't care about you, I mentioned the "golden jade" thing, but I want to see that you don't care, to prove that you love me wholeheartedly, not to make you angry, you are so angry and angry, it does not mean that I don't care about your anxiety and anger (because I don't love you), it can be seen that Baoyu is not even as good as a maid, I can't see my thoughts, so I am even more sad, crying more and more. The heat-relieving soup I just ate was spit out with a "wow". Zijuan hurriedly came up and caught it with a handkerchief. The snow geese come up and beat their backs.

Daiyu's face was red and her head was swollen, crying and sobbing at the same time, tears on one side and sweat on the other, and she was too timid. When Baoyu saw it, she also regretted that she shouldn't argue with her about right and wrong. Seeing her in this situation, I couldn't replace her, and I couldn't help but shed tears. The attacker and Zijuan next to him saw that the two masters were crying, so out of politeness, they also helped cry. So all four of them cried and did not speak.

After a while, the attacker reluctantly said to Baoyu: "You don't look at anything else, you look at the tassels on this jade, and you shouldn't quarrel with Miss Lin." When Daiyu heard this, she rushed to grab the jade regardless of the discomfort, grabbed a pair of scissors and cut the tassel. The attacker was just about to take it, and he had already cut a few paragraphs. Daiyu cried and said: "I am also working for nothing, he is not rare, and he has others to dress him again." The attacker said, "It's all my fault for being too talkative." Baoyu said, "You just cut it, I don't wear it anyway, it's nothing." ”

At this time, the struggle is already a little smaller than the equivalent just now.

It belongs to the aftermath.

This Baoyu is too, why are you in such a hurry, when people mention "Jinyu", they are so anxious that they burn their buttocks. That Daiyu too, why do you always find an opportunity to stare at Jin Yu or whether she is worthy or not, as if she doesn't believe Baoyu, so she makes Baoyu anxious, making Baoyu feel that she has no trust and no love for him. It's all about blaming and not understanding the other party's mind. It's about past this stage. Maybe in the process of falling in love, men and women have a period of fighting opinions, feeling that the other party does not understand and distrust themselves, and does not wholeheartedly treat themselves. So I had to criticize the other party. Alas.

Na Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, somehow, listened to the report of the girl in the garden, and were so frightened that they didn't know what the disaster was, and they all pulled in a panic and ran into the garden. The attacker complained about Zijuan, nothing to report, Zijuan also said that it was reported by the attacker, complaining about the attack. Na Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang came in, and when they saw Baoyu and Daiyu bowing their heads and not speaking, they asked, but there was nothing wrong. Only took the two of the attackers, Zijuan, scolded them well and left.

The next day, it was Xue Pan's birthday, please come to watch the play. Na Baoyu offended Lin Daiyu, and she regretted it, and she didn't have the heart to watch the play, so she said she wouldn't go. When Daiyu heard that he was not going, it was obvious that he was angry and had not disappeared, and regretted that he should not have cut the tassels on the jade, so he did not go.

Jia Mu was angry when she saw the two of them, and said that she was watching the play today, and when the two met, it would be over when they got together, but the result was not good. It can be seen that this time it is angry. The old man complained anxiously: "My old enemy did something wrong in my previous life, and now I meet such two unconscious little enemies, there is not a day that I don't have to worry about." As the saying goes, it's not that enemies don't get together. When I close my eyes one day, break this breath, and let his two enemies go to the sky, I can't see it out of sight and don't worry about it, and it's fine. I don't swallow this breath. As he spoke, he cried.

This shows that the old enemy Jia's mother does not have the intention of splitting these two enemies, but says that it is not that the enemies do not get together, although the previous one asked Daoist Zhang to find relatives, it is probably out of the intention of blocking the life of Concubine Jia, Baoyu wants to be good with Baochai, or he wants to find a third way to solve the problem. But now that they are to make trouble with their eyes closed, it is better to obey their orders and let them go on forever. In short, between trying to find a third way and letting the two of them go down, the main consideration is the latter, and there is no evidence that Jia's mother intends to do this family business. As for the later forty episodes, the person who supplemented the original storyteller said, Sister Feng offered a plan, Jia's mother approved, and they were forcibly demolished, which did not conform to the original narrator's meaning. Jia's mother's crying is still very heartfelt. The original narrator's original story, according to the analysis of the red scholar, should have been that Jia's mother died first, Daiyu also died of illness, and then, Baoyu had no choice, so he and Baochai practiced the matching of gold and jade. As for Sister Feng's advice, there is no such thing.

Jia Mu's words of "not enemies don't get together" reached the ears of Baoyu and Daiyu, and both of them seemed to be participating in Zen, chewing on the taste of these words, and they both shed tears again. Although they have never met, one shed tears in the wind in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and the other shouted to the moon in the Yihong Courtyard.

The attacker persuaded Baoyu: "You better go and accompany you, in the past, the little girl and the sisters quarreled, and you still scolded the little girl, you can't be considerate of the girl's heart." That's what you're doing today. Tomorrow's Dragon Boat Festival, you two are like enemies again, and the old lady is getting more and more angry. According to my advice, you should not accompany you. ”

Whether Baoyu goes or not, and listens to the next breakdown.
