The 45th story outline of A Dream of Red Mansions;

On this day, Feng was giving Pinger a pension when she saw the two sisters come in. It turned out that the sisters came to her, not only invited her to join the poetry club according to the tutor's suggestion, but also asked her for help in other things. Xifeng was very clever. Knowing that they actually wanted to donate money themselves, she agreed to their request and donated five hundred and twenty pieces of silver.

After the autumn, Daiyu's illness became worse, and she only stayed indoors for illness all day. Just when I was bored, it coincided with Xue Baochai's visit. So, the two began to talk. During the conversation, Daiyu admitted the misunderstanding of Baochai before, and Baochai smiled and said that she didn't mind. They finally settled their differences and became each other's Jin Lan.

It was stormy after dusk, and Daiyu wrote the word "rainy night in autumn window" that night. Baoyu visited in the rain. Daiyu laughed at him as a "fisherman", and then she said that she wouldn't wear this thing, or she would become a "fisherman". Only then did she know that she had slipped her tongue. Although she knew Baoyu, she didn't notice it.

Later, Baochai sent someone to bring Daiyu a big bag of fine bird's nest, as well as a bag of clean flour, preserved plum slices, snowflakes and foreign sugar. Daiyu was very grateful and rewarded the bearer. Daiyu envied Baochai's mother and brother, but lamented that she was lonely and helpless. Thinking about getting along with Baoyu, there was always a bad feeling. Listening to the rain, she secretly cried again and didn't sleep until the fourth watch.

Having said that, let's elaborate on a few key points:

Looking back on this period, it is mainly about Baochai and Daiyu. However, before we talk about them, let's talk about what we left unfinished last time.

One thing left over from the last time was that Jia Lian had an affair with Xifeng and was jealous, so the author started with Xifeng's "pension" for Pinger. However, before she finished paying her pension, all the sisters came to see her, and everyone was talking and making noise together, which was very lively!

First of all, as a representative, they explained the reason why they were looking for Feng: "We have two things: one is mine and the other is Sisi's, in the words of the old lady." This is the second legacy I mentioned above.

Tanchun is really clever. Although her words were concise, they hit the nail on the head. Let's explain this sentence in detail:

First, the first thing Tanchun said here is her own, but it is actually about the poetry club. This thing is not her own, but this poetry club was put forward by her and led by her, so she said so.

The first reason for looking for Xifeng is that the first members of our poetry club are not complete, and everyone's face is soft, so it is chaotic. I think you should be a supervisor and be impartial.

Second, this second thing Tanchun said belonged to Fourth Sister, in the words of the old lady. This sentence can be said to be both hard and soft.

The soft thing is that Fourth Sister doesn't need all the things to paint the garden, so she needs your help to find them. If she doesn't have enough, she needs your help to buy them. The hard part is that we have already told the old lady about it. The old lady said, "I'm afraid there are leftovers downstairs. Look for it. If so, take it out. If not, please ask someone to buy it. " In other words, this is what the old lady meant. You are the housekeeper of this family, so we will naturally come to you to solve it.

Tan Chun deliberately mixed these two things together, using both hard and soft methods, as if to say: This matter is not a "mass activity" initiated by us from the bottom up, but the meaning of "top-down" leadership, and we are just implementing it concretely.

In Li Wan's words, this Xifeng "is really a crystal heart." That is to say, nothing can escape from the eyes of Wang Xifeng and her calculating head. This is not her immediate reaction. She said, "Don't tease me, you are obviously asking me to be a profitable copper merchant." -it seems that this is really similar in ancient and modern times. This kind of literary activity without income has always been held in the form of "sponsorship", and Wang Xifeng has therefore become a "patron".

In addition, from the conversation between Li Wan and Feng, we can also see that Feng's "organ exhaustion" is not only reflected in her ability to calculate for her own interests; It also shows that she can figure out other people's affairs.

She took the opportunity to praise and criticize Li Wan: "It's a pity that you are the eldest sister-in-law! Give the girls to you to study the study rules with needle and thread. They are not good, you should persuade them. Now they open a poetry club, you just need a few dollars, and you don't care? "

After scolding my eldest sister-in-law, I didn't forget to calculate her account once: "Your monthly money is twelve taels of silver, twice as much as ours. The old lady and her husband also said that your widow is unemployed, pitiful and not enough, and there is another boy, with an increase of twelve taels, which is equal to the old lady and her husband. I will give you a garden, and everyone will charge rent. At the end of the year, you are on top again. You coward, your master and slave always have no ten people, and you still eat and wear official clothes. * * * a year, there are four or five hundred silver. " In other words, Li Wan earns 20 taels a month, plus gardening, rent collection and year-end annual distribution, so Li Wan has a fixed income of 400 taels of silver a year. You see, although this Xifeng has no education, she seems to have a "golden abacus" in her mind, and she is really smarter than anyone else in accounting.

However, Li Wan does have more money than the girls, but she can't compare with Wang Xifeng. After all, Li Wan's money is dead, Wang Xifeng's money is alive, and it's really not easy to live. So, Li Wan retorted: "Listen, as soon as I said it, he went crazy, saying that two cars of hooligans and mud-legged urban experts should be careful and allocate two pounds." Thanks to this thing, he was born in Miss Du, a family of celebrities, and it is the same when he got married ... The whole world has been calculated by you! "You see, when the old farmer Daoxiang opened his mouth, he exposed the vulgarity of Xi 'an and killed her spirit. What a pity!

Moreover, Li Wan not only got back her face in money, but also got back justice from Pinger: "The whole world has been calculated by you! Thanks to your outstretched hand, just yesterday! ..... you called me again today. There is no need to pick up Pinger's shoes. You two should only change one. "

We look interesting, too On that day, Xi-feng was very angry. After hearing Bao's family and Jia Lian say that they were looking forward to an early death, she rehabilitated Pinger. But today Li Wan said something similar, but she was not annoyed. She smiled and apologized, begging for mercy: "good sister-in-law, give me some time. You love me most. Why don't you love me for Pinger today? Usually you advise me to take care of myself and have a rest, although there are many things. Today, you are going to kill me. "

Unexpectedly, Li Wan actually gained the upper hand in imposing manner under unfavorable circumstances. This "Xiang Tao farmer" has always been silent and honest, but he is so good at oral debate. At this time, the eloquent Feng also candidly admit defeat. So Feng immediately gave in, and the inspector and other requirements were met one by one. She also promised fifty taels of silver to sponsor the poetry club. The sisters let her go and went home.

By the way, Xifeng's yard is really lively today. Just now, a group of sisters came, and now there's another sister Lai. Feng quickly gave up her seat and congratulated Mammy Lai.

It turns out that this Lai Mammy was an old mammy who served Jia's old master in his early years. According to Jia's rules, the family is old and has served their parents, which is more respectable than the young master. Lai's family also benefited a lot from this. Sister Lai's two sons are both big housekeepers. Rely on Jia's influence, Lai became a second-class rich man step by step.

But now it's worse. Lai Shangrong, the son of Lai Da (the grandson of Lai Mammy), owed money to the Jia family and donated money to a county grandfather. In this way, the grandson of a slave turned himself into a county official, and from then on, "one person got the word, and chickens and dogs ascended to heaven."

"Lai" here may mean "dependence", that is, the development of Lai family still depends on Jia family. Fortunately, Mammy Lai is not a forgetful person. She knows the bitterness here, so she often teaches her grandson: "How do you know how to write the word' slave'? I only know how to enjoy life, but I don't know what your grandfather and your father have suffered. After two or three lifetimes, I finally earned something like you ... Thanks to my master's grace, I allow you to donate a future to me ... If you don't behave yourself, serve your country faithfully and honor your master, I'm afraid God won't allow you. "

Because grandson succeeded, it is natural to have a big banquet to celebrate. Sister Lai and his daughter-in-law specially invited the old lady, wife and grandmother of Jia family. Even Jia promised to go, and others will naturally give face to pay tribute.

From Mammy Lai's mouth, we also know that Jia Zheng and even Jia Zhen's grandfather were beaten a lot when they were young. He also said that uncle Zhen's management of his son was like the rules of his ancestors, but he could do nothing. He doesn't care about himself. How can these brothers and nephews complain that they are not afraid of him? Between words, it seems that Baoyu is advised to restrain himself and not to worry adults too much.

Sister Lai not only dares to say anything, but also likes to meddle. That's why she pleaded for Sister Zhou's son. Xi Feng saw that she was right and gave face. Thanks to Mammy's good face, not only because she served her old master well in the past, but also because her grandson is promising.

This is the son who has touched the light of Laozi, and the grandson has added color to his ancestors. Perhaps this is how small families developed in the past, even Cao Xueqin's ancestors were no exception. This passage makes us feel that the author seems very realistic and seems to be a true portrayal of his family.

Let's talk about this "golden mutual analysis, golden stormy words" first. Last time we said that Baochai and Daiyu had let bygones be bygones since the incident of Jin Ping Mei, and they were like sisters.

This time, Daiyu's illness became worse. Baochai always comes to Xiaoxiang Pavilion in a hurry to see Daiyu. Baochai said, "Although all the doctors who have been here are fine, your medicine always doesn't work. Why don't you ask a smart person to look at it and it will be cured? " There is spring and summer every year, neither old nor young. What? This is not common law. "

We know Baochai is a knowledgeable advocate. You see, when she opens her mouth, she looks like an expert doctor: "I saw too much ginseng and cinnamon in your prescription yesterday." Although invigorating qi and nourishing the mind, it should not be overheated. In my opinion, it is important to calm the liver and strengthen the stomach first. Liver fire calms down, soil can't win, stomach is healthy, and diet supports people. Get up early every day to get one or two first-class bird's nest, five yuan of rock sugar, and cook porridge with silver tweezers. If you are used to it, it is stronger than medicine, and it is the most nourishing yin and invigorating qi. "

Daiyu also knows that bird's nest nourishes, but she is still here every month, weak and sick. It's annoying to take medicine all the year round, and she dare not bother people again. She poured out her pain to Baochai's sister. Baochai said she was also a sponsor. Dai Yu said that although we all live in the Grand View Garden, the situation is different. You don't have to spend their money, my old mother and brother are the sponsors. But I am not only sick, but also lonely.

Sister Baochai comforted her sister Daiyu and said that although I have a brother, I am just like that. I wish I didn't make trouble at home. Only mom is slightly better than you. We are in the same boat, you don't have to be a "sigh of Sima Niu". The "sigh of Sima Niu" here comes from The Analects of Confucius Yan Yuan. Sima Niu said sadly, "Everyone has brothers, and I am alone." Later used to describe a sigh of loneliness and helplessness.

Baochai will not only comfort people, but also help them with practical actions. She told Daiyu what bird's nest was. I asked my mother to send you some food in the future, and asked the maids to cook it for you every day. Daiyu smiled at once. "It's rare that you are so affectionate, because it's a small matter."

You see, this is a harmonious picture, just like a sister! My sister is considerate and meticulous; My sister is no longer bitter, but she knows a lot.

When Daiyu sent Baochai away, she invited Baochai's sister to come back to talk with her at night, but it rained at night and Baochai didn't come, so Daiyu could understand.

However, although Baochai didn't come, an unexpected visitor came, and this is the fisherman Baoyu. It turned out that Baoyu came wearing the hat and hemp fiber of King Jing, so Daiyu made fun of him and called him a "fisherman".

Baoyu didn't hear the meaning of teasing him, but kept showing off this hat to Daiyu, saying that he would also give one to Daiyu. Unexpectedly, Daiyu said with a smile, "I don't want him. Put it on, and you will become a fisherman in a picture and in a play. " Just saying this, I remembered that Baoyu had just been called a "fisherman", and immediately blushed and fell on the table to pretend to cough.

Who knows that Baoyu, an idiot, didn't see it at all and didn't hear the "implication". He only saw the song "Autumn Window and Rainy Night" written by Daiyu on the book case, and he couldn't help cheering.

Daiyu quickly grabbed the poem and burned it under the lamp. Baoyu probably knows sister Lin too well. At first glance, he actually memorized all the poems. He smiled and said, "I know it by heart. It doesn't matter if I burn it."

I don't know much here. Why does Daiyu always burn poems and destroy them? Is it because you are embarrassed to be seen by your sweetheart, or because you are afraid of being laughed at for writing badly?

Suddenly, I remembered a sentence in "Poetry in a Garden": "Poetry has come, gone and exists again. Come, write and you will have it; Those who get it are fair and sound; The rescuer is fresh and excellent. " Daiyu's poems should be "preserved", but they should be destroyed; Think again about my own poems, most of which are "award-winning", but they are well preserved. How ironic! If I can travel through novels, I really want to say to Daiyu, "Good sister, since you don't want it, why don't you give it to me?"

Ha ha, no kidding, get to the point. Seeing that it was getting late, Daiyu brought a glass hydrangea lamp for Baoyu to carry, told Baoyu that she was much better and advised Baoyu to go back and rest quickly.

Just after Baoyu left, the woman sent by Baochai came again, bringing Daiyu a big bag of first-class bird's nest and a steamed stuffed bun with pure powder, plum slices, snowflakes and foreign sugar.

It stands to reason that Daiyu should be a happy woman tonight, with a sweetheart coming to see her in the rain and good sisters thinking about her, but she is too sentimental and dissatisfied. If it were me, I wouldn't shut up happily.

Look at Sister Lin. She is blessed and doesn't know how to be blessed. She pitied Baochai on the pillow and once envied her mother and brother. At the same time, I thought that although Baoyu was used to harmony, he was finally suspected. Listening to the rain again, I shed a lot of tears unconsciously.

This story is like this. Forgive me for saying a lot more. Whether you like it or not, see you next time!
