Because Li Wan had made a name for herself by teaching her son, Lady Wang had asked everyone to pool their money to celebrate his birthday and hand it over to Baochai. The next day, Ping 'er collected all the silver and personally brought it to Happy Red Court. She counted the amount and handed it to Baochai. There was only one copy of Xiangyun, which indicated that it was collected by Baochai and was not included. The total is 156 taels. Baochai thought that if it was too lively, Jia Zheng might not be willing. If it was too brief, Madam Wang would not be able to explain it on her face. After careful consideration, only a small play was passed on, and the rest of the acrobatics were not needed, but the banquet was especially rich.
On that day, Li Wan dressed in a ceremonial robe and went to Lady Wang's place. It just so happened that Lady Xing had come over from the east courtyard, so she bowed to the Second Lady of Prince Xing. Madam Xing hurriedly helped her up. Lady Wang also said,"Today is a good day for you. Don't be so formal."”He also sent Xiu Luan to call Baochai and Tanchun. When the two of them arrived, Madam Wang instructed,"Help me entertain Eldest Sister-in-law and let him enjoy himself comfortably for a day.”Tanchun and Baochai agreed and smiled at Li Wan."Sister-in-law, did you hear that? You have to listen to us later." Aunt Xue and Aunt Li arrived at once, and they couldn't help but circle around for a while before heading to the inner living room.
Along the way, they could hear the sound of gongs and drums.
At this moment, Li Wen, Li Qi, Xing Xiuyan, Xue Baoqin, Shi Xiangyun, and Xi Chun were all waiting in the hall. It turned out that the Li sisters had come with Aunt Li the day before and stayed in Daoxiang Village. Baoqin also stayed at her mother's house because it was a long way away, so she came with Xing Xiuyan. After walking through the Grand View Garden, he first went to Longcui Nunnery to look for Xichun and Xiangyun. Everyone came together. Early in the morning, Ping 'er called the servants to bring the carriage and horses to fetch Qiaojie. Baochai also invited Xi Luan and Fourth Sister.
Only the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the East Mansion You came the latest. Although there weren't any guests, it was still a lively scene. There were also maids from various rooms and prestigious daughters-in-law. When they heard that the play was being passed on, they also rushed over to join in the fun. When everyone saw Li Wan, they were all busy paying their respects and some even kowtowed. Laughter and laughter mixed together.
Baochai and Tanchun followed Lady Wang's wishes and set up another seat in front of the corridor. They invited Li Wan to sit, but Li Wan refused. When Madam Wang heard them pushing and giving way, she smiled and said,"If your sister-in-law doesn't want to sit, I'll personally send the wine over!”Madam You was the most straightforward. She walked over and said,"What day is it today? If you don't sit up, who should you ask to sit? Are you waiting for Madam to come to the banquet?" He forcefully pushed Li Wan to sit down, and everyone sat down.
Jia Lan and his wife came in wearing their robes. From Aunt Xue and Aunt Li to Madam Hu and Sister Qiao, everyone toasted. Aunt Xue said,"Eldest Grandmother, look at this pair of beautiful children and wife. We all like them for you." Aren't you going to have some fun?”
"Our grandaunt has finally made it," Aunt Li said. In the future, if he was as lucky as the old lady, he would still be able to see his great-grandson, and great-grandson!”
Just then, the actresses in the troupe came up to ask for some acting. Aunt Xue ordered "Eating Bran" and Aunt Li ordered "Parting Towel". Madam Xing said that she didn't understand it, so Madam Wang asked him to order it again and again. After ordering "Appreciating Lotus", Madam Wang also ordered "Falling Horse" and ordered Jia Lan to ask your mother to order two at will. Li Wan guessed that Lady Wang liked auspicious plays, so she ordered the Good News Banquet from Sun and Sun Blessing, followed by everyone else. Finally, Baochai ordered the Round of Gao. She immediately started to sing.
Everyone felt sorry for Zhao Wuniang when they saw " Eating Bran ". Some even shed tears of sadness.
When "Don't Scarf" and "Falling off the Horse" came on stage, it was a clown joke, and everyone laughed again. Aunt Xue said," Usually, when we listen to the opera, it's always our own troupe at home. Only on Miss Feng's birthday did we listen to an outside troupe." In the end, they were serious and their characters were well-matched.”"Their outfits and details are not as particular as those at home!"”"When I arrived in the capital, I realized that the atmosphere here is all about listening to plays." Not only was it incomplete, but even the outfit was old and unpresentable. As long as it sang well, it could be considered a good show.”
"Sister," Ping 'er asked Qiao Jie,"can you listen to plays in the countryside?"”"How can there be a good show in our countryside?" Sister Qiao asked. It was nothing more than a hump-roaring opera, a buggy opera, and an outdoor stage opera. That was the best!”
Xiangyun pulled Tanchun to the side and mumbled something for a long time, but she didn't know what to say. After a while, he returned to his seat and was performing "Gao Yuan". When he saw the end, he smiled and said,"Huo Duliang has Li Feiyun and Hua Xingyun. Who is the elder and who is the younger? If it wasn't for the Emperor's family mediating on his behalf, each of them would have received their own decrees and would have been at a stalemate.”"As the saying goes,'Crying and laughing, I want both steamed buns.'It was this Scholar Huo who was still good. Nowadays, there were many people who married one and left another behind!”"Isn't that so?" Xi Luan said. Commandant Jiang, our neighbor, has a child and an adult at home. He's even marrying another wife outside.”While everyone was talking, the maids had already laid out the dinner table. Baochai and Tanchun went to greet Li Wan. Jia Lan and his wife also came up to prepare their seats.
Xichun was originally tired of noise and quiet, and never ate meat. That day, she was tired from sitting, so she went back to Longcui Temple first. When they arrived at the nunnery, only the old woman came out to open the door. When they entered the room, it was quiet and no one was there. "Where did Zijuan go?" she asked. The old woman replied,"Miss Zijuan has been lying there for a day without moving. I'm afraid she's sick. Fourth Young Lady, please go and take a look."”Xichun walked into Zijuan's room. The lights were not lit yet, so she quickly asked someone to light them. He went in to take a look and saw Zi Juan lying on the brick bed with her eyes closed. Her face was as white as paper. Xichun called out to him a few times, but he did not answer. He could not help but be shocked! She thought to herself, he still came out as usual when he woke up early. How could he be so sick?
It turned out that Zijuan had served Daiyu for many years and only cared about Daiyu. When Xiaoxiang burned the manuscripts that year, he wanted to follow them. Because he was a member of the Jia family. It was unreasonable to sacrifice to Dai Yu, so he followed the old rules. Since Daiyu came to him in a dream, he knew that Daiyu had become an immortal. Many people were there, so he wanted to go with her, but Daiyu did not allow it. After waking up, she cried for a few days. After thinking about it, she had no other choice, so she made up her mind to gradually reduce her diet until she stopped eating. Xichun and Xiangyun saw him come out to serve as usual, but they didn't know that he was desperately struggling.
At this time, Xichun saw that he was seriously ill and could not help but panic. He immediately sent the maids to bring Xiang Yun back. Xiangyun felt that Zijuan didn't have any cold or heat and called out twice. She only opened her eyes slightly and then closed them again. She couldn't guess what was going on. She quickly ordered people to inform the outside and quietly invited Imperial Physician Wang. Imperial Physician Wang had always been calm and steady. He felt that his six meridians were calm but weak, so he said,"This illness is caused by thinking and damaging the spleen.”She prescribed a prescription for replenishing vital energy and finally got someone to catch it. After frying it, she fed it to him one ladle at a time. Helplessly, Zijuan gritted her teeth and closed her mouth. She couldn't drink it in, so she drank a little and spat it out. Xiang Yun was also helpless. He made a ruckus late into the night and instructed the maids to take good care of him before going to bed.
Zijuan was in a daze when she suddenly saw Daiyu come in and say,""Silly girl, if you want to go with me, isn't it very easy? Why must you suffer so much?" "Young lady, you've left me behind. How am I supposed to go?" Zijuan asked.”Daiyu flicked her sleeve at his face and said,""Sister Zijuan, come with me!" Unconsciously, she let him go. Her body seemed to be floating. Looking at the sky, it was as if she was scraping yellow sand. In an instant, they entered the archway and saw many palace-like houses. After walking for a while, he saw a palace gate with red oil and gold nails. He followed Daiyu in. One of them was a majestic palace, with pomegranate flowers blooming in the front yard and begonia blooming in the backyard. Zi Juan thought to herself, I heard people say that in the immortal world, the flowers would bloom all year round. It's really not bad. They walked into another courtyard and someone said,""The concubine is back." A group of people came out and said,"Grandma came back quickly."”
