Chapter 10 The Tenth Chapter: The Crimson Pearl Returns to the Temple of Taixu Prison, Qianxue Comforts Baoyu

In addition, the internal supervisor came to tell this day that the coffin of the concubine Yuan will come to Beijing tomorrow, and everyone in the mansion, from Jia Mu to servant women, will go to the Shelei Pavilion to welcome them.After hearing this, all the people inevitably had a lot of work and prepared for themselves.Everyone in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion became worried and said: "The girl's body is not good, how can she bear such a toss?" Daiyu heard this, hugged her alone and thought about it for a long time, and suddenly said: "Zicuckoo, bring the mirror. " Zicuckoo didn't know why, so he had to hand over the mirror to him.

It turned out that since the marriage proposal, Lin Daiyu sat in the city of sorrow every day, she couldn't help but shed tears on her pillow, hated the heavy quilt, she hadn't eaten or drunk for several days and nights, she didn't sleep, she was so thin that she lost her human shape.At this time, seeing in the mirror that the apricot face is fragrant and withered, the red lips have faded, and there is still the radiance of the past, I can't help but sigh slightly, and I want to get up to do my makeup.Zijuan hurriedly persuaded: "The girl is ill now. The old lady has sent a message early, so there is no need to say hello sooner or later. I don't teach the girl to cry and salute. Why bother to get up and lie down? Carefully catch the wind, It's not good again." Daiyu shook her head slightly and said, "How do you know why I am? Just fetch water."

The snow geese had to go out to fetch water, and Zijuan helped Daiyu to sit down in front of the dressing table, cleaned her face, rinsed her mouth, combed her hair and brushed her temples, and then took the blue bird head Dai Dai, which was awarded by Jia Mu on her birthday, to draw her eyebrows. Dizzy rouge was applied to the face, and Sheng Tanxin's lip balm was applied to the lips, making her dressed like peonies in smoke, like peach blossoms moistened by rain.Daiyu herself took a mirror and took a look around. When she was satisfied, she ordered Zijuan to open the box and choose a set of clothes for herself.

Just after tidying up, I suddenly heard Chunxian's voice outside the window saying: "Second Master Bao is here." Zicuckoo was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly understood, feeling bitter, and hurried over to open the curtain.Baoyu had already come in, and said, "How good is this? Tomorrow, the coffin of the empress will go to Beijing, and the whole family will go out to welcome her. My sister has never been good, and I'm afraid she will be working again. You might as well wear two more clothes when you go out. The medicine is fried and put in a thermos pot. It’s delicious on the road. Besides, I heard that my sister’s early-rising bird’s nest has stopped recently. This is absolutely unavoidable, and I should eat it as usual.” After a long while, Daiyu just didn't answer, she turned her head and frowned slightly, as if she was impatient.Zijuan was very sorry, because she sighed from the side: "Miss, I can't eat, I can't sleep well, it's not a day or two. I've been ill since the first two days of my wife's birthday, and this has never been good. Every morning and evening, I only have a bowl of pear juice. There is no porridge. I have been persuading the girl for a long time, and my mouth is dry, but the second master came to persuade me."

Baoyu knew what was on Daiyu's mind, but he didn't dare to tell the truth. Seeing that his chrysanthemums were thin and his willow eyebrows were trembling, but his eyes were full of pearls, looking forward to his affection, they seemed clearer than before, and his heart became more and more sad. Yin accompanied him with a smile and said: "Your body was originally weak, and this early spring is the season of illness. It's too late to take care of yourself. How can you be so cruel? You can't eat it, so you should force yourself to eat some pear juice. You can also use some soup, and change it every day to nourish your appetite. If you want to appetize, then add fine rice porridge until the rice crackles are fully opened, and it is as easy to eat as soup. I think it is made in the kitchen. Rough, that's all I have to go and talk to Mrs. Liu in person." Then he walked out.Daiyu turned around and called to stop, sighing: "You don't have to go, even if the dragon marrow and phoenix brain are fried, I can't eat it, and it will be in vain. I have a few words to tell you, you don't go until I finish speaking. "

When Baoyu heard this, he stopped and turned around.Daiyu said to Zijuan again, "Give those back to the second master." Zijuan understood. Hearing this, she brought a rattan drawer wrapped with lotus to the desk, held it in both hands and said to Baoyu, "This is our girl." My son ordered me to pack it up, please take it back with the second master." Baoyu took it and asked, "What is it?" Daiyu said, "You gave it to me before, and it's useless for me to keep it now." , besides, I owed you a lot in my previous life. I'm afraid I can't pay it off in this life, and I can't bear these extraneous things. Why don't I pay you back together? You can keep it for yourself, or give it to someone who needs it. It has nothing to do with me." Baoyu didn't know why, so he opened it casually, and saw many books, handkerchiefs, Western cosmetics, and Kit Kat naughty things, all of which were gifts to Daiyu on weekdays, but the top of the bunch was the half smashed one. Canling Xiangzhu was suddenly angry and sad again, she couldn't help but shed tears, and cried: "Why is my sister slandering me again? Could it be that if you return these to me, all the things you said before will be wiped out? Even if I What I said is worthless, all the thoughts I spent on my sister in the past are just nonsense, but my sister's anger and heartbreak for me, don't count?"

When Daiyu was about to speak, a sour breath surged up, and she coughed loudly again. Zijuan rushed over to beat her back, and Xueyan handed over her spittoon, and waited for her to rinse her mouth.Daiyu gasped again, and Fang said, "What are you talking about about the past and the future? I know that your mother has decreed that you and Sister Bao's happy life will be set on the ninth day of September. I have nothing to give you, and I don't have anything to give you." It’s not because I’m angry that I’m paying you back. I’m afraid I won’t live to that day, and I won’t be able to congratulate the two of you face to face. I met you today, and I don’t know if there will be a day to see you again. It’s just a clear explanation here. May you both Before "a" finished speaking, he suddenly vomited again, his whole body trembling into a ball, but he had no food in his stomach, struggled for a long time, but spit out some clear water.

Baoyu heard these words and looked at the shape again, where he couldn't bear it, his heart hurt like a knife, saw, and file, and his tears were like raindrops, crying and saying: "You said such a thing, you took it A knife pierced my heart. Did I say those words in the past for nothing? Don’t worry, my sister. In the past, I didn’t know who listened to the gossip and made a mistake. That’s why I had those thoughts. Now that the empress is dead, these rumors are natural. Breaking through without attacking, and paying attention to what he does? Besides, such a big event happened in the family, how can there be any nonsense about gold and jade, so naturally I don’t mention it. There is no need to say anything else, just take one thing. Let me tell you this, and you will know that this matter is definitely not feasible: the empress has just passed away, and I have three years of filial piety in my body. Could it be that Sister Bao waited for me for three years, and wouldn't it delay him? A girl of eighteen or nineteen years old Staying at home for three years, even the old lady and wife are willing, and my aunt and big brother Xue are absolutely unwilling. In the past, when I said that I should not grow up all my life and that my sisters would stay together forever, you still laughed at me for being silly, but now You don’t even have theories anymore?”

After hearing this, Zijuan felt that it was reasonable, and she couldn't help but bow her head in silence. Even Xueyan clapped her hands and said, "They say that the second master is dumb. It turns out that he is the most calculating and thoughtful in his heart." Then he said to Daiyu, "Miss Don't say that kind of thing anymore, wouldn't it be sad for Second Master to hear it? Besides, what Second Master said is really reasonable, and the days are still long, so it's about people who haven't seen each other?" Daiyu gave him a sidelong glance, Stop talking too much, this coughing and vomiting has already caused my makeup to be ruined and my temples are messed up, and I have no strength, so I still have to go back to bed and lie down, closed my eyes, and was speechless for a long time.

Zicuckoo waited only when he was asleep, saw that his face was like a peach petal, and he was panting slightly, so he said quietly to Baoyu, "Young lady has worked hard for half a day, and it's time to rest. The second master will come back later." But Daiyu opened her eyes again. It seems that Baoyu only thought that he had something to say and hurried forward, but Daiyu looked at him silently.Zijuan understood, and hurriedly said: "I'll pour tea for the second master." Pulling Xueyan out.Sitting in front of Daiyu's bed, Baoyu just looked at Daiyu and remained silent.

The two looked at each other for a long time, Daiyufang sighed quietly, and said slowly: "Sister Bao's gengtie has been sent to the palace, the horoscope has been matched, and the date has been fixed. How can you say such a thing now? Don't let him down? I definitely won't allow you to do this. Besides, the old lady asked me face to face before giving my gengtie to others. This is my own consent, and I must not blame others. Anyway, my illness will never be cured. , now I just want to die, and the end is clean. The only ones I can't let go are you and Sister Bao. I still remember when I knocked under your window and saw Sister Bao sitting next to you and embroidering your bellyband for you. I still laughed He felt uncomfortable, but now that he thinks about it, he just feels good. Every time he closes his eyes, the situation is real, like it happened yesterday. I think you two will get married in the future, so you look so natural It’s common at home. I thought about it, but I feel at ease. After I leave, it would be better if Sister Debao can be with you for a long time than me. If you really treat me as a confidant, treat me well. He has lived up to me." As he spoke, he stared at Baoyu in a daze, as if weeping, but he couldn't shed a single tear. That treasure jade has thousands of arrows in his heart. Although he has thousands of words in his heart, he has been crying so hard that he can't say it.Seeing him like this, Daiyu couldn't bear it, and sighed: "I can't sleep well these days. Whenever I close my eyes, it seems like a dream but not a dream. Instead, I think of many things from the past to the past. It's different now. Tell me in detail, you just remember my words, Sister Tongbao, live well, don't miss it any more." While speaking, she raised her hand slightly, as if she wanted to wipe away her tears with him, halfway through, sighed, and still lay down.Seeing that the hand was as soft as folded silk and as thin as boneless, Baoyu felt so much pity in his heart, and after hearing these two words, it became more and more like a needle prick, and he couldn't help holding it and crying.When the women outside heard the crying, they rushed in together in shock. Even Zhu Ma, who was digging the soil outside the window, heard the crying inside, and rushed in together, coaxing and persuading, while pulling Baoyu's hand away. , Said in the mouth: "My sister is sick. You cry like this, won't you disturb him? Teach people to hear it, and go to learn from the old lady and the wife. Everyone will not be safe. Now the altar is being set up in front. The second master has these Tears, it’s not good to cry at the front, but it’s still a courtesy in front of people.” While speaking, he stuffed the exquisite rattan drawer in his arms and just pulled it out.Baoyu couldn't help herself, and was coaxed by the women for a while, and pushed out of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, so she hugged her drawers indiscriminately and came back all the way with her head down. Unexpectedly, the lid of the drawer had not been closed securely. As he walked, everything inside spilled out, and Baoyu didn't care about it. He came back to Yihong Court crookedly, threw the drawer on the ground, and rushed straight into the curtain. , beat the bed and pounded the pillow, and burst into tears.Seeing him like this, Xiren had to force himself up to persuade him, but he couldn't ask a word, so he could only offer words of comfort.However, Baoyu couldn't hear it, and felt bored, thinking to myself that they would not stop comforting me here, and disturbed everyone; but those women's words were rough, but they were not bad. If you want to cry anyway, why don't you cry before the soul? big sister go?Save these people from making noise.After making up his mind, he got up to leave. The attacker hurriedly stopped him and said, "You just came back. Where are you going?" Baoyu said, "Go to Jiayin Hall." He said, and he had already gone out.When Xiren wanted to persuade him, he felt that he couldn't speak, so he had to let him go out. He was bored alone, so he had to go back to his room and lie down.exactly: The word of the heart becomes dust, and there is no regret in the end, but the soul chases the dream but has no one to rely on. Let's say that the next day the imperial concubine's coffin was returned to Beijing, the two mansions rose in the early morning, and the gates were opened. Outside, they had already prepared hundreds of sedan chairs, carts, and horses, led by Jia Mu, and the rest were Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng, and Jia Jia. Xiao, Jia Dun, Jia Zhen, Jia Lian and Baoyu, Huan, Cong, Heng, Huan, Chen, Huang, Qiong, Ying, Lin, Rong, Qiang, Chang, Ling, Yun, Qin, Zhen, Ping, Zao, Heng, Fen, Fang, Zhi, Lan, Xing, Zhi, Fan, Lan and other men of the same clan, and Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. You, Sister Feng and other female relatives, male and female family members, more than a few hundred people, the crows are quiet and the white is long. A plain stretched out, about a mile away, or cars, or horses, or sedan chairs, or walking, only heard the sound of commotion, but there was no sign of chaos, flowing clouds and snow, and came towards the Shelei Pavilion in the eastern suburbs.A few princes and marquises had already sent their family members here to set up sacrifices and wait here. They shared their troubles with each other, and the guests and hostesses were assigned to sit down. Then they heard a group of people Ma Mingjing and plain horses coming, and they knew it was news from the palace.Jia Zheng rushed forward, and it was indeed Dai Quan who came with the decree, and hurriedly knelt down. Later, Jia Lian saw that Zao Feibao and Jia's mother also knelt down. Hundreds of people knelt down at the same time, except for the black hair, looking at a piece of silver.Dai Quan proclaimed his decree loudly, full of beautiful words, nothing more than "the virtuous concubine Yuanchun was born in front of her, she was virtuous, filial, gentle, and now, once she passes away, she will be in love with her holy heart, and everyone will look forward to her virtue". Untimely, due to an accident, the weather is hot, and the coffin should not be stopped for a long time. I am specially granted permission to return to the imperial mausoleum in Xiaoci County for burial. I will start on the same day, and there must be no mistakes.All the descendants of the Jia family must go to filial piety to guard the spirit, and return to Beijing seven times. Mother Jia was taken aback when she heard this, for the coffin had already been cleaned up in the Grand View Garden, and she was afraid that the coffin might not be allowed to return home, so she cleaned up another place in Tiekan Temple.Unexpectedly, the heart of heaven is unpredictable, and he was ordered to go to the filial piety to stop the spirit. Many efforts were made in advance. There are hundreds of people who have no plans to travel far.Jia Zheng hurriedly grabbed Dai Quan's sleeve to express his embarrassment. Dai Quan smiled and said, "Concubine Xiande is a member of the royal family, so she naturally has to stay in the imperial mausoleum. How can she go back to her mother's house to handle business? It's all ready. Our family can't be the master of this, the old country head will accept the order quickly." Jia Zheng had no choice but to kowtow to thank him, and when he received the order, he sent Jia Zhen, Youshi, Jia Lian, and Xifeng to take Lai Da , Laisheng, Lin Zhixiao, Wu Xindeng, Zhou Rui and more than a dozen family members returned home to pack their luggage, and begged Dai Quan to forgive him for a while so that he could prepare.Dai Quan said with a smile: "Naturally. What kind of friendship do I have with the family, why should I ask? The two masters just keep tidying up, and always leave before the arrival date. Just don't miss me returning to the palace to meet business." After hearing this, Jia Zhen hurriedly ordered Jia Rong, Jia Zhi, Jia Yun, and Jia Qiang to take Zhang Cai, Wang Er and other able-bodied family members to go ahead on horseback, and prepare tea and meals along the way; The horse galloped back to the mansion, and Youshi and Sister Feng followed in a four-wheeled Sugai cart, and all the family members followed in two carts.When I got home, I felt that there were a lot of things to do, with hundreds of people, food and clothing, and I didn't know where to start. I had to remember one by one, so I ordered people to prepare quickly. Less like that, all kinds of incompleteness, how can it be completed in a short time. It was so easy to get things done, when Sister Feng stood up, she suddenly felt a sudden heat in her body, she couldn't help but let out a "beep", she sat down, and saw a stream of urgent blood flow out from the bottom of her trousers in her skirt, and immediately Dye the feet, shoes and socks all red.Zhou Rui's family said "Ah yo", hurriedly supported him, and shouted: "It's terrible, this is a blood collapse!" When he wanted to call the doctor, he called there, but fortunately Ping'er followed, and hurriedly helped Sister Feng back Lie down in the room, take Wuji Baifeng Pills, because of a plan with Zhou Rui's family: "Grandma is like this, Xiaoci is absolutely not allowed to go, tell Grandma Zhen over there, tell the old lady, even I can't go there It's gone." Zhou Rui's family said: "It's natural, there's no reason to leave grandma here alone, of course it's going to be hard for the girl." Then he came to Ningfu and told Youshi.You Shi had no choice but to get into the car by himself, and still followed Jia Zhen and Jia Lian back to Salei Pavilion. The coffin of Concubine Yuan has already arrived, and Jia Mu and others have all mourned, with tears on their faces.Because I didn't see Sister Feng, I hurriedly asked why, and I couldn't help worrying, because I said to You: "In that case, don't go, stay at home and take care of it. His wife and sister-in-law must go, and Feng girl is still there." Ill, you stay, at least there is someone in charge in the two mansions. Besides, the third girl and the fourth girl are all glamorous guests waiting for selection, so they don’t need to go. And there are girls in each house, how can there be so many girls in the mausoleum? In a big place, it’s unavoidable to sit up and sit to avoid inconvenience, so don’t go there, just two women and daughter-in-law follow in each room, and then the housekeeper chooses a few old, steady and able to take care of them, and the rest stay to watch Home." The distribution was over, so please pick up the coffin. Immediately there was wailing from all around, the flags were high, and parents and children couldn't help clinging to their hands and said something precious. Jia Zheng ordered Baoyu to come and kowtow to Jiamu, kneel down and ask Jiamu to go back to the house, and Jiamu held Baoyu and cried again. After a meeting, he was told to be careful in everything on the mausoleum, and to pay attention to sleeping and eating.Baoyu also wanted to tell Daiyu a few words, but it was inconvenient to be separated by many people of ceremonies, so he had to.But he secretly waved it with his hand, his eyes were determined to be lost, and he only hoped that Daiyu was looking at him just in time, and they were in mutual understanding. At present, there are white chariots and plain horses, inscriptions, ribbons, and drums and music, and they go away. They spend the night at dawn, and it takes seven days and nights to arrive at Xiaoci.Everything was ready there, so he set up an altar, burned incense and melted ingots, and recited the Shurangama Sutra. At the same time, he cleaned the house and arranged for people to live there.All the inner ministers and astronomical officials burned incense and paper money in front of the grave, prayed and exchanged greetings, and then all resigned, leaving behind a group of Habayashi soldiers to camp here.Both Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng felt that it was rare. At this time, they knew the deep meaning of Jia's mother not to let the young women in the mansion come here. It was three o'clock in the evening, and Baoyu and Jia Huan, Jia Cong, etc. were guarding the spirit, resting on the sleeping stone, feeling uncomfortable in every way, and thinking of Daiyu in his heart, he felt heartbroken and uneasy for a moment.Seeing Jia Huan, Jia Cong and others staggering to and fro, they were all sound asleep, but he just tossed and turned, thinking of Daiyu's words before leaving, the meaning of the words was very ominous, and thinking of leaving in a hurry, but he couldn't come back again. Don't say a few words, I don't know how sick I am at this time, the more I love and hate, I can't sleep. While meditating, he suddenly smelled a fragrant wind, which was neither smoke nor mist, like orchids like musk deer, and he couldn't help being surprised: "Where is the strange fragrance coming from? It's hard that these incense candles and sandalwood smoke can't suppress him." He smelled it carefully again A ray of music came through the air, clearer and more melodious, indescribably wonderful, and I was even more surprised: "Where is the singing and music coming from? It's not the sound of scriptures, it's not the Sanskrit song, it's so beautiful." While thinking, I also saw countless women in cloud clothes and neon clothes, surrounded by a stunning beauty, walking slowly, but the steps were soft and delicate; when they stopped, the socks were dusty, and the lotus sleeves were fluttering; , the mood is fresh and beautiful, and the demeanor is elegant; the distant daisy of the spring mountain is cut, and the eyebrows are lightly caged; the clear stream of the autumn water is cut, and the shadow falls into the eyes; Concubine Yang, Diaochan in the closed moon; Stronger than Xizi in Huansha, Wang Qiang in Luoyan. When Baoyu saw her, she couldn't help but be dazzled and amazed: "Where is the elder sister? She overwhelms all the women she has ever seen in her life. If there is such beauty in the mortal world, no one in the world will become a fairy." Seeing the beautiful woman walking up to the front of the willow swinging in the wind, Yingying bowed down, whispering coquettishly: "The waiter's feeling of irrigating the Sansheng Stone on the bank of the Linghe River, Jiangzhu dare not forget until death, although now the fate is over, but I can't bear to let it go." Farewell, so I begged Fairy Jing Huan for half a day, and I came here to say goodbye, and I still have a few words to entrust." Baoyu heard the voice very familiar, and was shocked, and rubbed his eyes carefully, but it was Lin Daiyu, just more than before. Seeing elegant and plump, like delicate flowers shining in the water, tender jade with fragrance, so I couldn't recognize it for a while, so I went forward with joy and said: "So my sister has also come, and her complexion is better than before. Which imperial physician took the medicine?" ? We must thank him well when we go back.” Daiyu contemplated for a long time, then Fang sighed softly: "Baoyu, so you really forgot. In the old days, in the Chixia Palace, the envoys of Shenying wandered in the haze, watching the stars and the moon, how carefree and carefree I am! , I promise you to irrigate with nectar, and there is nothing in return, so I made a wish to return the tears of the whole life to you. I met in this life by fate, and I know that the previous oath is true. Even if my heart fails, I will not complain or owe you anything. Now After the debt is over, I should go to the Boming Department to bring the case, but I still have a word to tell: Although you are my confidant, you can't think of me. You are depressed and wasteful, and you are a burden to others. Besides, you and I came here for the calamity , when the sins are full and return to the original place, there will be a day of reunion in the Kongling Hall, and then I will share the past with you, and then I will know that my heart will not change." Said that he covered his face and turned around, ready to go. Baoyu saw Lin Daiyu's cloud skirt and moon sleeves, fluttering like a lift, swaying as if she was going home by the wind, and she was afraid that Daiyu would leave, so she didn't understand anything else. What's the matter with you?" But it was piercing to the bone, the pain pierced the heart, hurriedly stepped forward and shouted: "Wait a minute, sister, I have something to say" Sitting up in shock, I saw the glazed lamp on the spirit table half-lit, half-extinguished, In the night wind, the soul-inducing flags are hunting, and the fragrance of gold and silver ingots is wafting in the sky, but where are there Daiyu, fairy girls, strange fragrances, and strange joys?I can't help but feel dazed and confused, feeling lost in my heart. Jia Huan and Jia Cong also woke up with a start, rubbing their eyes and asking, "Brother Baoyu, what are you shouting for if you don't sleep?" Baoyu stood up without saying a word and went out.Mingyan also woke up, hurriedly followed, and asked, "Where is the second master going? If you wake up the master, you will be taught another lesson." Baoyu was reminded by a word, and hurriedly stopped, but seeing Yinhe Huanyu, The bright moon was in the sky, and the surrounding pines and cypresses were full of shade and verdant, and they were extraordinarily verdant. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and it was chilly to the bone. I couldn't help shivering. When I woke up, I turned my head and said to Ming Yan: "I want to go back to the mansion. Look, you quietly go to the stables and bring out two horses, let's go quietly at night when no one knows." Mingyan said in a bluff, "Where do you dare? The master knows, and he will be beaten to death. .” Baoyu stomped his feet in resentment, and cursed in a low voice: "The thief slave, I used to say it so nicely, but now I don't want you to go through fire and water, but steal two horses, just like this. If there is no horse, I will walk back by myself." Ming Yan thought for a while and said, "Second Master walks away by himself. I'm still dead. I'm going to die on both sides. It's better to risk my life and go with Second Master." Then she secretly pulled out two horses from the stable. , and Baoyu rode together, raised their whips, and left in the dust.When the family watching the horse heard the neighing of the horse's hooves, Fang woke up with a start. When he was busy chasing him, he could not catch up, so he had to report to Jia Zheng. Jia Zheng was so angry that he stamped his feet and cursed continuously, and wanted to send his family members to chase after him.Unexpectedly, after all this trouble, the guarding Habayashi soldiers also woke up, knowing that they had neglected their duty and left the son of the Jia family. They all complained to each other and said, "The Holy Majesty originally ordered the Jia family to guard the mausoleum here." Seven to forty-nine days, you can't leave without authorization. Now that one is unguarded, you have escaped two. We have already suffered a lot. From now on, we don't even have time to sleep. I hope the old man will look at it in the face of business. Come on, don't run away without permission again." Jia Zheng heard that this and that are guarding the imperial mausoleum, which clearly meant to be imprisoned and guarded, and he knew that something was wrong, so he couldn't argue, so he came quietly and pardoned Jia. Wake up, and ordered someone to call Jia Zhen and Jia Lian. They also felt disturbed, but they couldn't guess the reason.Not for now. Let's say that Baoyu and Mingyan went to Zimo in the two courts and walked on the world of mortals at night. They never slept whole. The journey of seven days should have arrived in Beijing in three days and two nights. When they came to Rongguo Mansion, they saw the gate. There was a seal on it, and it was guarded by the Habayashi Army. He was frightened and went forward to salute: "Master Jun, please. I don't know what happened to my family. How can I seal this door and not allow you to enter?" After looking him up and down, and hearing him say "my family", he couldn't help asking: "Who are you in the mansion?" Ming Yandai replied: "This is the Second Master Bao of our Rongguo Mansion, who are you?" The yamen servant sneered and said, "We don't know about the second master Bao and the second master Bei. Since you are from this mansion, you will talk to us in front of the prince." Baoyu said, "I don't know who the prince is on the order. Wait for yourself I'll see you. It's just that the family members of my family are doing well now? I hope my brother will let me in to have a look." The servant said impatiently: "We were ordered by the emperor to just raid the house and guard it, not to look after it for you. It’s passed on, those who die inside, those who catch, those who run, those who hide, who knows which one you’re asking? Just follow us.” When Baoyu heard the word "death", he suddenly felt that there were thousands of arrows in his heart. It must be Lin Daiyu, who tore his heart and lungs, shouted "Sister Lin", separated the two yamen servants, and rushed in.Those people were willing to tolerate him, so they came up to tease, hug, and shouted dirtyly: "Reverse, rebellious, you dare to tear the royal seal, it really is against the house of thieves, there is no good A good man." Immediately, he tied up his master and servant, and brought them to Fusi, and informed them to go in. After a while, a Confucian scholar with the appearance of a guest came out, clasped his fists and said: "So it's Mr. Jia, the prince ordered, now is not the time to talk, please be wronged for a few days, and see you later." He also ordered the yamen servant, "The prince has orders , and take it to the Prison Temple to take care of it, don’t be lazy. The prince will inquire in person afterward.” The yamen servant agreed, looked at each other and said: “A prisoner does the same thing. After all, he was born in the prince’s mansion, and the ship is broken. Qianjin nail, we don't want to offend him for nothing, the prince is not stubborn when he asks." He refused to chase him away like before, instead he graciously set up a sedan chair for Baoyu to take, and ordered Mingyan to follow. Baoyu kept inquiring through the sedan chair curtain, and Fang gradually realized that the funeral procession had just left for two days, and King Beijing and King Zhongshun were ordered to raid Jia's mansion, except Aunt Xue, Aunt Li and other relatives who ordered them to leave the mansion. In addition, all the female family members of the Jia family were sent to the ancestral hall for temporary residence, but Wang Xifeng of the Rongguo Mansion was detained alone in the Prison Temple for hiding and smuggling the belongings of criminal officials.Baoyu was startled and frightened, and when he wanted to ask again, the prison god temple had arrived, and the two yamen servants explained a few words to the guards of the class, took the sedan chair and left. It turns out that this Prison Temple is located not far from Rongfu in the west of the city. It was originally a place where prisoners were temporarily detained before their case was finalized. Because it enshrines the God of Prison, begging the sky to open their eyes and get justice for their injustice, so it is called "Prison Temple".At this time, Sister Feng has already been locked up in the women's prison, while Baoyu and Mingyan are in the men's prison. Although there is a passage between them, fortunately they can meet each other.When Baoyu came in, he didn't care about the rope bed, tile pillow, and incomplete bedding, so he threw himself in front of the gate and called for Sister Feng. "It's really our second master who came, and Mingyan greets grandma." Only then did he believe that it was really his master and servant, and he couldn't help crying, and asked him: "Aren't you guarding the tomb with the master and wife? Why did you come here?" Baoyu didn't care to go into details, but asked, "Where is the old lady now? How is Sister Lin? What happened to our family? Why are you locked up here?" Sister Feng briefly talked about the plagiarism, and Baoyu had already stopped Not enough to reach her feet, she repeatedly sighed: "Sister Lin has a body like that, where can she stand up to this torment, and now she doesn't know how sick she is!" Sister Feng said: "That's not to worry about. Although I'm locked here, because Xiaohong often I came to visit, and I heard that some house raids were carried out in the mansion. On the second day, the Beijing Mansion took a sedan chair to pick up Miss Lin. He is now a princess, and there are no doctors in the Bei Mansion. Naturally, it is better than before. Baoyu was shocked when he heard the words, and asked, "Why is Sister Lin willing to marry? Did you lie to me?" Sister Feng sighed, "I have already reached this point, why did I lie to you? Your Sister Lin originally refused, but what happened to our family?" Now that it has fallen to such a point, Beijing Mansion is pressing hard, can it be left to him? Besides, if he becomes a concubine, at least he can take care of her, which is better than being cooped up and suffering." Baoyu After hearing this, he was half-believed, ever since he dreamed that Daiyu came to bid farewell, he only suspected that Daiyu was dead, but now he heard that Sister Feng said that he had become a princess, and he suspected that the dream that night was originally for the reason of Daiyu's marriage. Come to say goodbye.Although I am sad, I am also happy, but I am not willing to believe it. In the afternoon of the next day, Hongyu brought another food box to see Sister Feng, and when it was opened, it was a plate of fresh bamboo shoots, a plate of scrambled eggs, a plate of fried vegetables, a bowl of red rice, and another large plate of mincemeat The cakes are reserved for dessert, and there is another bowl containing half a bowl of shredded mustard and mushroom soup. Because they are in Xiaozhong, they are all vegetarian. Sister Feng looked at it, with tears in her eyes, and sighed: "I was reluctant to let you go out that day, but today I realized that it was a rare and good thing to do." She also told him that Baoyu came yesterday, and she was originally in the next door. I don't know why it was transferred to the big prison at the back early in the morning, meaning Hongyu tried to find a way to transfer him back, so at least the two of them could talk a few words through the aisle.Hongyu hurriedly agreed, and said again: "Grandma, do you know how I can get in here? It turned out that Qianxue, who used to serve the second master, was married, and she was the head guard of this prison temple. If the second grandma was locked here, It was also he who told me. If he knew that the second master was here, he might not be so happy. Now that he wants to transfer the second master to prison, he has to beg him to go. " Then Sister Feng concealed her words again, saying that Daiyu had married the king of Beijing as her concubine, and told him not to leak the news when he met Baoyu.Hongyu nodded and remembered clearly, and was not in a hurry to meet Baoyu, but hurried out to find Qianxue and told the news.As expected, Qianxue was both surprised and happy, and said with tears: "Our second master was so delicate in the past, how could he endure this kind of torture? I must not be used to anything in the temple." Even if she ordered her man to go back to the prison temple first Baoyu was transferred to prison, and here he prepared some fresh fruits and vegetables, cups and chopsticks, pillow mats, made up in front of the mirror, changed into bright clothes, and then went out with Hongyu.When he was approaching, he stopped again, turned around and went to the tea house to buy a tube of high-quality Fenglu tea, and borrowed a freshly boiled tea bag, explaining that he would return it later.He used to come and go frequently in this street, and all the tea shop assistants recognized him, so he picked him up. When they came to the Prison Temple, Baoyu and Mingyan turned back to the single room they lived in last night.It turned out that the jailer saw two servants bringing his master and servant in sedan chairs yesterday, knowing that he was a rich man, he thought he could get a lot of money, so he arranged for him to be imprisoned in a single room.Unexpectedly, Baoyu and Mingyan left in a hurry, and they didn't bring much silver with them. They had already used it up on the way back, so they had no money to take care of.The jailer was angry all night, and he was not willing to look at it any more, so he moved the two of them to the big cell behind him early in the morning.When Baoyu came last night, he only felt that the prison was sour and smelly. After tossing and turning all night, he couldn't sleep. Now that he moved back from the big cell, he realized that this place is actually heaven, but he didn't know why he went around.It was the prison chief who explained the reason, and Baoyu just paid attention to it. Thinking of Qianxue's love for each other, he felt ashamed in his heart. For a while, Qianxue and Hongyu came arm in arm, first went to Sister Feng to greet her, and then came to Baoyu.The head of the cell opened the cell door to let his wife in, and said: "Don't delay too long, when someone comes to check the room later, if someone sees you coming to visit the cell, it will be bad for the second master." Qianxue said: "I know. Come on, go and watch outside the courtyard gate, if someone comes, cough." So they came in together with Hongyu, put down the food box and tea tube, and they were about to bow down to salute. Baoyu hurriedly grabbed hold of each other, and sighed: "When you two were by my side, you didn't benefit from me at all. Now that I'm in this situation, it's a great kindness for you to come to see me. If you want to salute me again, won’t you kill me?” Both Qianxue and Hongyu said: “Second Master, please don’t say that. How kind was Second Master to us in the mansion? Don't dare to forget. There is no other filial piety, isn't it right to kowtow?" As she said, she knelt down and kowtowed, Baoyu was so anxious that she could only kneel, Qianxue and Hongyu hurriedly supported her left and right, They all said: "How can this be done?" Mingyan knelt down early to return the salute: "Sister Qianxue, sister Xiaohong, you two are very kind, thank you, Mingyan, on behalf of the master." Hongyu tugged on Mingyan's ear He laughed and said, "Get up soon, doing this again is like giving birth. Can't you kneel down for us for the second master?" Mingyan got busy. Then Qianxue unfolded the package, laid out the quilt, pillow mat and mat she had brought, poured out the tea from Hongyu, and said with a smile: "This is what Xixuetete bought from the tea house, I'm afraid it's not as delicious as the one in the house." Talking about offering precious jade with both hands.Baoyu became more and more ashamed, took the cup, and was in a daze.Qianxue spread out the quilt, and when she looked back and saw Baoyu's blushing face, she knew that he still cared about the incident of throwing teacups after drinking that year, and said with a smile: "I came out of the mansion that year, if the second master and his wife hadn't interceded to let me go Feel free, don't call it a sell-off, maybe you will suffer there now. Therefore, I have never dared to forget the kindness of the second master all these years, only wishing that there was no way to repay it. To say something disrespectful: Although the second master is not going well for a while now , let me do my best, and I have to pay God to fulfill my wish." Hongyu and Mingyan laughed at the words.Hongyu also said: "I can't compare to Sister Qianxue. When I was in Yihong Courtyard, I was just a second-class girl. I couldn't get close to serving tea and water. It was a rare experience. I even taught Qiuwen and the others for half a month. Now this Qiao Zong'er is occupied by me alone, Qiuwen and the others heard it, don't be mad?" After saying that, she turned her face and smiled. Hearing these words, Baoyu liked it and was ashamed at the same time. He also saw that Qianxue had her head on her head, her face was open, her temples were piled up with crows, and her high servant girl Dicui was more beautiful than when she was in Jiangyunxuan. An autumn-colored foreign gauze shirt, a concubine-colored tight-fitting lining, moon-white gauze trousers, thick-soled velvet butterfly shoes, light makeup, detailed double Dais, a plain white jade hairpin on the head, and a pair of red gold lilac gourds on the ears. Lin Hongyu is dressed very smartly; Lin Hongyu is a lotus-colored gauze blouse, a lake-green satin skirt with thin pleats, lined with silver-red armor, with hanging shoulders and a thin waist, green hair and red face, without a hairpin ring on her head. There are pearl orchids inserted obliquely, with golden jade earrings made of jade rabbits pounding medicine; the two standing together are like two lotus flowers with branches side by side.Seeing Baoyu, she became dazed again. Just as she was about to speak, she heard coughing again and again outside the door. Knowing that someone was coming, Qianxue and Hongyu hurriedly pulled the door out.If you want to know what happened next, look at the next chapter.
