Red Mansion Jia Lan: Do you want to run away tonight to visit your relatives? Chapter 5: Garden banquet and family fun, the virtuous concubine admonishes her relatives with integrity
Chapter 5: Garden banquet and family fun, the virtuous concubine admonishes her relatives with integrity
Jia Lan's mind went back and forth thousands of times, and he was held by Yuanchun. He first climbed the tower and pavilion from places such as "There is a phoenix coming to the ceremony", "Red fragrant green jade", "Apricot curtain is in sight", "Hengzhi Qingfen" and so on.
Wading through the river and bordering the mountains, you can wander around and take in all kinds of views. The decorations are different everywhere, and the decorations are novel.
After Yuanchun appreciated it, he turned around and told everyone in the Jia family: "Don't be too extravagant in the future. This is too much."
Having arrived at the main hall, he was ordered to skip the ceremony and return to his seat to have a big banquet. Jia Mu and others were accompanying her, and You, Li Wan, Sister Feng and others were holding bowls of soup. They were ordered to serve with pens and inkstones, and personally wrote to Xiang Guan, and wrote in person.
:
The plaque "Gu Ensiyi" reads, "Heaven and earth show great mercy, and the innocent and gray-headed people feel the same sympathy; ancient and modern times are honored, and the nine states and all nations are honored by grace." This plaque is written in a couplet in the main hall.
The garden was named "Daguan Garden", "Youfeng Laiyi" gave it the name "Xiaoxiang Pavilion", "Red Fragrant Green Jade" was changed to "Yihong Kuailu" and it was named "Yihongyuan", "Hengzhi Qingfen"
"He gave it the name "Hengwuyuan", and other names such as "Huange Villa", "Liaofengxuan" and "Zilingzhou", and wrote a unique poem.
As mentioned in the previous article, the original plaques here were all made by Baoyu.
After finishing the book, Yuan Chun said with a smile: "I am not very talented, and I am not good at chanting. My sister knows this well. I am just chatting tonight to fill my responsibilities and live up to my expectations. I will have less time in the future, so I will write the "Grand View Garden Notes" and write it down.
"Ode to relatives" and other articles are written to record today's events. Each of my sisters also wrote a plaque and a poem. They were also temporarily recited according to the length of their talents. Don't be limited by my small talents."
Waiting aside, Jia She's daughter from the West Mansion welcomes the spring, Jia Zheng's concubine explores the spring, Jia Jing's youngest daughter from the East Mansion welcomes the spring, and Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai, who live in the Jia Mansion, respond together and come up with ideas.
Concubine Yuan smiled at Baoyu again: "I haven't seen Baoyu for many years. It's an unexpected thought for me. There are several places here, such as Xiaoxiang Pavilion and Hengwu Garden, which I love most, followed by Yihongyuan.
, Huange Villa, these four major places must have their own chapters and verses to chant the magic." Then Baoyu was asked to write a five-character rhyme for each of them for research.
This younger brother was born to Mrs. Wang at an advanced age. Yuanchun, the eldest sister, took pity on her mother and often stayed with her grandmother to look after Baoyu. Before Baoyu entered the school, when he was three or four years old, he had been taught several books by Concubine Jia orally.
Thousands of words are in the belly. Although their names are sister and brother, their relationship is like mother and son.
Baoyu got the assignment. Although it was a piece of poetry he loved, he was a little scratched after all, but he couldn't act coquettishly in front of Yuanchun, so he had to agree and go to the side to come up with ideas.
Sanchun stood around the long table in the hall on one side, Daichai and Baoyu stood on the other side, the six of them were writing and thinking, Concubine Yuan sat on the head, looking like a monthly exam, and Jia Mu in costume sat beside her.
Sister Feng said this in Jia Mu's ear, which made Jia Mu very happy.
Concubine Yuan saw several sisters. They had slightly plump skin in the spring, a close-fitting figure, new liche cheeks, and greasy goose fat nose. They were gentle and silent, and looked amiable. Tanchun had slim shoulders and slim waist, a long figure, a duck-oval face, and was handsome.
Eyes and eyebrows are plucked, and the eyes are looking forward to the flight of the gods. The essence of literary brilliance makes one forget the vulgarity. Although Xichun is not tall enough and can be described as small, she is already a beauty.
On the other side, Daiyu talks well, has smoky eyebrows that look like frowning but not frowning, and a pair of eyes that look like joy but not joy. Also see Baochai, whose muscles and bones are smooth and elegant, her manners are elegant, her face is like a silver basin, her eyes are like water apricots, and her lips are
The eyebrows are red without dots, and the eyebrows are green without painting.
Seeing the beauty of Sanchun Daichai, Yuanchun was secretly happy, but she also thought that the Jia family was now prosperous and Yang was declining, and all the men in the family, except for her father Jia Zheng, were idlers. Even though she was in the palace, she occasionally heard about it, and her father said something
What's not nice is that it's just a middle-aged man's money. Uncle Lin died of illness the year before last, and Jia's family suddenly lost support. Mother and grandmother only spent the money on themselves, but they didn't know that this was cooking oil in a fierce fire, and they would be burned if they were not careful.
.
This time I wanted to advise the clan members, but as they were elders, I didn’t know how to speak. Yuanchun couldn’t help but frown at the thought of this.
"Auntie, what's bothering you?"
A child's voice came, and Yuanchun lowered his head to see Jia Lan standing next to him. Then he remembered that he had been holding his arm and walking without realizing it in the end.
Seeing Jia Lan dressed in Confucian robes, Yuanchun suddenly felt blessed and raised her voice slightly: "Lan'er, I wonder how much you know about the loyalty, filial piety and integrity you wrote on the stone tablet in front of the garden?"
When Concubine Yuan spoke, everyone at the banquet became quiet, and even the people playing music and dancing relaxed their movements.
Jia Lan answered honestly that there was no need to elaborate on the word loyalty and filial piety. When it came to the word honesty, he said: "Integrity means restraint, self-examination and restraint. In the past, Taizu Taizong issued several edicts on frugality. Emperor Taizong said to himself, 'I will keep the world from falling.
For decades, I have sincerely thought that the people are the foundation of the country, and the government is to support the people, and I have exhorted all ministers and workers in the world to be honest and serve the public.' Today, every year, the emperor issues an edict to the people of the world to 'strive to be frugal'... Therefore, keeping integrity is also keeping loyalty.
,Keeping integrity is also keeping filial piety."
Sister Feng didn't read much, so she only half understood the twists and turns in Jia Lan's mouth. However, when she saw Jia Mu's smile faded a little, Mrs. Wang even put away her smile, Li Wan's face turned pale. Looking at Sanchun and others, they all had the same look on their faces.
Suddenly, Miss Lin looked at Jia Lan with worry in her eyes, thinking that the little ancestor might have said something wrong. When she was complaining in her heart, she was thinking hard about how to change things for a while, but she heard Jia Lan continue: p>
"But integrity is not blunt honesty. For example, in this Grand View Garden, although the imperial concubine has repeatedly asked not to be extravagant, I heard from the man who bought and sold on the street that it has been many years since the imperial concubine visited the wedding. This matter of marriage is related to the royal dignity.
, and you must not be too poor, you still have to spend your money, and you have to spend it in real ways. This year is more grand, in order to show the magnanimity of the heavenly family and relieve the empress's long-term lovesickness worry. Now the worry has disappeared, next year it will be like a cloud.
Well, I should be simple and frugal, and live up to the Holy Spirit’s heart of caring for the people.”
Concubine Yuan's brows first relaxed and then tightened, and finally relaxed completely. She gave a high-five and leaned over to pick up Jia Lan and sit next to her. She praised: "Okay, well said! You are indeed my Qilin'er!" Then she turned to face her.
Jia Mu said: "If Heaven's grace is still allowed to return to the province next year, we must not spend so extravagantly! In recent years, floods and droughts have prevented harvests, bandits and robbers have risen, and there is the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty in the north, and the trouble of establishing slaves. Since I ascended the throne,
So I practiced economy, and now it is a great sin to spend so much money just for me. I will have to apologize to the Holy One after I return to the palace."
Jia Mu heard this so much that she quickly knelt down and kowtowed in the direction of the palace, repeatedly calling her sin.
This fight scared everyone to the point of kneeling down one by one.
Jia Lan knelt down and thought to herself that Yuan Chun had such a strong aura, and then she felt relieved. Although Yuan Chun said only a few words, it was enough to prove that she was also smart, rational and visionary, at least no better than Jia Lan's grandfather Jia Zheng.
Bad.
The important thing is that in a hierarchical society, Yuanchun is the king and Jia Mu is the minister. If you can maintain a communication channel with Yuanchun and use Yuanchun's power to influence the Jia family, maybe it is a way?
