Soon Ningguo House held a family banquet to celebrate Jia Jing's birthday. But Jia Jing lived in the Taoist temple for a long time and didn't want to come back for the celebration. Jia Zhen had to send someone to send some strange fruits and food. On the one hand, he held a banquet at home to congratulate him. Almost all the descendants of the Jia family came to pay their respects and share the family dinner. When Mrs Wang asked about Qin Keqing's illness, everyone expressed deep regret and sympathy. After dinner, Xifeng, who has always been close to Qin, led Baoyu to see Qin. Qin is skinny and has no confidence in his recovery. He said a lot of sad things. Sister Baoyu was very sad and tried to comfort her. Xi-feng said goodbye to Qin and hurried to the garden to see the play. Suddenly, Gary came out from behind the rockery and deliberately played the phoenix. Xifeng is a wise man. She saw Jia Rui's intention at a glance and made up her mind to punish him. Then, as usual, I talked and laughed with Mrs. Wang Xing and You Shi, and went to the theater to listen to music.
● The twelfth time, Wang Xifeng set up a lovesickness bureau, and Jia Tianxiang was looking forward to it.
Jia Rui molested Xi-feng in the garden and went to Xi-feng's house to flirt. Xifeng pretended to be attentive, offered her seat to pour tea, and behaved vaguely, asking Gary to wait for her in the west hall at night. Jia Xin thought it was true and promised to go, but there was no sign of Xi Feng, and he was frozen all night in vain. Seeing that he was unrepentant, Xi-feng made other plans and told him to meet in the side room. She also told Jia Rong and Jia Qiang to catch him. When Jia Rui saw it, he was very scared and had to accept their blackmail. Each of them paid 520 pieces of silver. When I fled in a hurry, I was splashed with shit again, shivering with cold and disgusting. A lame Taoist sent a mirror with the words "Yue Feng's Treasures" on it, and told Jia Rui that he could only look at the negative side, not the positive side, and he would recover in three to five days. Gary didn't listen, just looked ahead, that is, he saw Xifeng in the mirror, and then he made love with her in the mirror, repeated it several times and died.
At the end of this year, because Lin Ruhai was seriously ill, Jia Jia sent Jia Lian back to Yangzhou to visit his father. Baoyu is very uncomfortable.
Low back to the thirteenth Qin Keqing dead dragon commandant Wang Xifeng exchanges Ningguo mansion.
Since Jia Lian sent Daiyu back to Yangzhou, Xifeng was very annoyed and went to bed early every night. That night, Xifeng slept with Pinger, a close-fitting maid. Xi-feng was in a daze when Qin came from outside and said goodbye to him. She told her that "when the moon is full, it will lose money, and when the water is full, it will overflow". She asked her to buy land, make plans early, and then floated away. The next morning, the news of Ke Qing's death came, and the whole family was very sad, especially Baoyu, who vomited one mouthful blood with anger.
Jia Zhen was so sad that she burst into tears. She not only bought Qin a very expensive coffin, but also gave Jia Rong a dragon captain to improve her status. In addition, because Ningfu was understaffed and the affairs were extremely complicated, Jia Zhen went to Guo Rongfu with crutches to ask Xifeng to help with the funeral. Xifeng was very happy to know that this was a good opportunity to show off. She agreed to Mrs. Wang's consent.
● Returning to Lin Ruhai for the 14th time to donate Jia Baoyu Road in Yangzhou City to pay homage to King Jing.
As early as when Xifeng promised to be the director of Ningfu, she figured out the five symptoms of poor management in Ningfu. So she came to Ningfu, because people treat diseases because of things, and prescribe the right medicine. Every day is exactly two quarters, and you are not allowed to be late. In addition, to return the card, the responsibility lies with the person. Whoever violates it will be punished. All the servants in the family are careful and conscientious. Although our affairs are complicated, they are well managed by Xifeng and won unanimous praise from top to bottom. It happened that news came from home that Jia Lian had died because of Daiyu's father's illness and would not come back until the end of the year. Xi-feng paid more attention to the funeral. Ke Qing's funeral was extremely grand. Not only the princes and nobles came to see me off, but King Jing and others also set up a sacrificial shed for sacrifice, and summoned Jia Zheng and Baoyu and his son, which received rave reviews.
● In the fifteenth time, Wang Xifeng seized power in Tiejian Temple, the interesting steamed bread temple in Qin.
According to Lao Jia's regulations, Ke Qing's coffin needs to be sent to the iron sill temple built by Ning and Rong Ergong outside the city. Therefore, this road is vast and lively. Baoyu not only met his father and brother, the long-admired King Jing of Beijing, but also took advantage of this rare opportunity to enjoy many rural scenery. Baoyu saw farm tools, spinning wheels and village girls in the countryside, which made him feel fresh and interesting.
After stopping at Tiejian Temple, Xifeng, Baoyu and Qin Zhong did not return to the city immediately, but lived in a steamed bun shop not far away. The old man in buddhist nun told Feng that the brother-in-law of Chang 'an's family took a fancy to Jin Dage, who was the daughter of a rich man, but Jin Dage had been betrothed to another son, and the two families started a lawsuit. The old nun begged her to solve the matter. This kind of thing is a piece of cake for Xifeng, but she still asks for a reward. Xifeng Wang sent someone to get through the joints when we were in Chang 'an, but he broke up a happy marriage alive and ruined two lives.
In the sixteenth time, I chose Fengzao Palace and Qin, and died in the yellow road.
Xifeng successfully completed the task entrusted by old ni and rewarded 3,200 pieces of silver, but ignored the two young lives that died because of the divorce storm. Xifeng tasted the sweetness and became more unscrupulous from then on.
Coincidentally, Yuan Chun was promoted to the official position of Fengzao Palace on his father Jia Zheng's birthday, and added the title of virtuous princess. The whole family was beaming, and Grandmother Jia took them to the palace to give thanks. What's more worth celebrating is that the emperor allowed Yuan Chun to go home to visit relatives, and chartered Jiafu to build a farewell hospital for relatives in the province. Therefore, the Jia family was busy buying land to build a provincial family hospital. So Zhao DOG, Jia Qiang and others pleaded with Xifeng and ran errands. Xifeng and Jia Lian are naturally very proud. And all this did not infect Baoyu at all. Because Qin Zhong, a close friend, was angry with his father because of the incident with Zhi, he felt guilty and became seriously ill. Baoyu's diligent visit failed to save Qin Zhong's life. The only thing that can make Baoyu feel happy and comforted is that no one at home urged him to study, and Daiyu returned to Beijing safely after burying her father, and she became more and more detached.
● The Grand View Garden 17 and 18 tested the topic of the Lantern Festival in Guo Rong Mansion.
I don't know how long it took, and countless provincial relatives' gardens were finally completed, so Jia Zhen invited Jia Zheng to personally inspect and write inscriptions everywhere. Baoyu followed Jia Zheng and all his followers, and Jia Zheng also planned to test Baoyu's talents. Baoyu shows his talents in front of everyone. His topics are winding paths leading to a secluded place, Qin Fang, Von Lion, riddles and crossword puzzles. Jia Zheng had an ominous premonition when he saw that all the riddles made by everyone were scattered floating objects such as firecrackers, abacus, kites and sea lanterns. In particular, Baochai's seven laws are not written by people who live a happy life. They feel sad when they think about it, so it is difficult to sleep.
Chapters 19 to 54 are the third largest chapters.
This section, after Qin Keqing's death and his relatives in Yuan Fei Province, shows Jia's life picture from four aspects.
1. The Jia family, headed by Jia Jia, is extremely extravagant. They "share weal and woe". Qing Xu Guan's banquet, two seats in the Grand View Garden, Baochai's birthday and Xifeng's birthday are all arranged in this section. They try their best to enjoy everything in the world, and everyone is satisfied according to their own tastes: in the Grand View Garden, a large group of aristocratic ladies and "rich and idle people" Jia Baoyu enjoy flowers today and write poems tomorrow: this is elegant enjoyment; Xue Pan, an idiot, enjoys Xue Pan's style. In this long text, Granny Liu entered Guo Rongfu and wrote the grand view garden through Granny Liu's eyes. Granny Liu objectively became a witness to Jia's luxurious life.
2. However, in this gentle and rich atmosphere, there are plots of "an uncle meets five ghosts" (the 25th time) and "unexpected wind sister throws vinegar" (the 44th time), which are intriguing. On the 23rd, Baoyu, Daiyu and others moved into the Grand View Garden according to the imperial edict of Yuan Dynasty, and it really became a "land of flowers and willows, a warm and prosperous town". But by the 25th time, first it was written that Jia Huan deliberately scalded Baoyu, and then it was written that Aunt Zhao asked Ma Daopo to "do it", which almost killed Baoyu and Xifeng. Although this is a superstitious farce, it reflects the contradiction between life and death within the Jia family. From the 43rd to the 44th, when Xifeng was writing a happy birthday, Jia Lian and Bao Er's family suddenly had a heated discussion. In short, in a mild and prosperous atmosphere, "disasters" broke out again and again, breaking the illusion of prosperity.
3. In this long section, the stories between Baoyu, Daiyu and Baochai are arranged intensively, and the characters and thoughts of these main characters are written. For example, in the nineteenth time, Baoyu wrote by attacking people that he not only didn't like reading the books of sages, but also called "anyone who has made progress in reading" Lu Wei, thinking that those books were "compiled by others because their predecessors couldn't understand the books of sages themselves"; The twentieth time, I wrote about Baoyu with a foolish idea in my heart. "He thinks that life is the spirit of all things, and all the beautiful scenery of mountains, rivers, the sun and the moon is only for his daughter. Men with beards are scum." "All men are regarded as chaotic and turbid things, which are dispensable"; The thirty-sixth time, Baoyu hated the advice of Baochai and others and said, "A clean and white daughter has also learned to pursue fame and gain, and has joined the ranks of traitors and ghosts. This is always causing trouble for no reason, clear pronunciation and mellow voice, which is originally a foolish thing to guide future generations. Don't be unlucky for me. Joan's family is also infected with this wind. It's really a tribute to Zhong Ling's elegance ... ". At the same time, the love stories of Baoyu and Daiyu are mostly concentrated in this large section, which not only shows their pure and persistent love, but also shows their pressure and painful torture. The contradiction between Baoyu's and Daiyu's rebellious thoughts and Jia's orthodox thoughts formed a fierce confrontation in this long period, and the "evils" in the thirty-third cycle was a concentrated expression.
4. Qingwen's humiliation and Yuanyang's refusal to marry are also important aspects of this paragraph. Not only wrote the purity and beauty of these girls, but also wrote their perseverance and struggle. On the one hand, we can see the huge cost of Jia's luxurious life, on the other hand, we can see that Jia's family really cannot make ends meet.
The whole third section consists of the staggered structure of the above four sides. On the basis of the second paragraph, the superficial and overall prosperity is closely combined with the declining trend and various contradictions and conflicts, which truly shows the life picture of this noble family.
Brief introduction of Zhang Hui
● Nineteenth love, eager for good night.
Baoyu left the steamed cheese with sugar sent by Yuan Fei to Aron, who liked it. Mammy Li ate crisp cheese in anger. Aaron said that she loves chestnuts and asked Baoyu to throw away the crunchy cheese, and Baoyu peeled chestnuts for Aaron. Xiren tested Baoyu with the theory of redemption, showing his nostalgia for this place that "eats and dresses like an old man and curses all the time"
Baoyu put on rouge ointment to see Daiyu. Daiyu said that she has a vulgar fragrance, but she doesn't have the fragrance given by Luohan. Say strange fragrance, warm fragrance, Leng Xiang's words. Baoyu told Daiyu the story of a mouse stealing taro, telling her not to fall asleep. When Baochai came, she laughed that Baoyu had forgotten the poem of Banana and was sweating profusely.
The twentieth time, Wang Xifeng said that she was jealous of Lin Daiyu's clever language and teased her charming voice.
Baochai satirized Baoyu Yuanxiao for not knowing the code name "Qingwax".
Mammy Li scolded xiren for "coaxing Baoyu", "flattering makeup" and "matching a boy", which made her cry. Baoyu protected xiren, persuaded xiren and gave xiren medicine. Baoyu combed Musk Moon's hair, and Wen Jing was cynical. Baoyu said she was "gnashing her teeth".
Xiangyun came and Daiyu went back to her room because Baoyu loved Baochai. Baoyu told Daiyu that "close relatives are inseparable, and you should not be arrogant first".
