The layout of the Grand View Garden is grand and magnificent. In addition to the familiar Yihongyuan and Xiaoxiang Pavilion, there are dozens of other attractions. The sisters' residences are mainly concentrated in the western area. Hengwuyuan is in the northwest, Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and Zhijinlou are in the southwest, Daoxiangcun, Qiushuangzhai, Zilingzhou, Ouxiangxie, Liaofengxuan, Luxuean, Shaoyaopa, Nuanxiangwu, etc. are all located in the middle of the west.

From the road outside Hengwuyuan to Daoxiangcun, I saw that the entire residence was surrounded by yellow mud walls, with light yellow rice stems covering the top of the wall. Hundreds of apricot trees outside the wall were slightly yellow, and the stumps were hung in the right corner of the door. When I walked into the wall, I saw several thatched huts, planted mulberry trees, elm trees, and hibiscus. I also woven a fence with branches and inserted several pieces. Under the hillside outside the fence, there was a dirt well, next to it, there were orange steaks, wheels, and wooden barrels. Qinfang stream flowed down from Hengwuyuan, and chickens, ducks and geese were raised in the water.

There is no genius here, the smell of money, extravagant customs, and the pastoral scenery specially created. This is the only one in the Grand View Garden. Li Wan chose this place, probably because of her indifferent and helpless nature. "The Yihong Courtyard has a night banquet", Li Wan's flower sign is a sentence "The bamboo fence and thatched hut are willing to be willing." I don't know if it is really willing? The kindness in the mirror is even more worthy of the fame in the dream. People can't be detached from the things. Jia Baoyu was very disliked by this and said, "Natural Theory" incessantly, believing that artificial carving is not beautiful, which makes Jia Zheng so angry that he shouted "fork out".

"The name of this place comes from the saying "Chaimen Lindaoxiang Village". It is really a paradise in the world, much lighter than my Hengwu Garden." Xue Baochai exclaimed.

"The Peach Blossom Land cannot be avoided by those who are interested in visiting. Whether it is Lao Tzu's Yingzhi period or Confucius' great harmony period, they are not of hierarchy. No one is concerned about poverty in the downtown area, and wealth in the deep mountains and distant relatives. How can some things and some people avoid it?" Jia Cong said.

"It is always because the clouds can cover the sun, and it is for a while, it is for a while." Xue Baochai said: "It is natural and natural for rituals and music. Heaven and earth are inferior, and the universe are determined. If the humble and high are established, the noble and humble are at the right position. There is constant movement and stillness, and hardness is broken."

"Otherwise, Confucius' great harmony did exist in the era of great harmony. The controversy between hundreds of schools of thought in the pre-Qin period was not entirely fabricated out of thin air. At that time, in the prehistoric period, there was no noble or humbleness, no rituals and music, work at sunrise and rest at sunset, everyone lived in harmony, and no one had any remaining property. Labor became an activity of enjoyment. Why did Nuwa come? At that time, women's collection was more important than men's hunting, and women were the first to be the beginning of the matriarchal clan." Jia Cong looked at Xue Baochai. Baochai was poisoned by Taoism, which was really heavy. It was no wonder that Baochai was taught by her father since she was a child, and was completely prepared for the talent show. In addition to her family background, her rules, and talent must be both good. She worked hard on her knowledge. Xiangling and Xiangyun didn't know it, and Baochai knew it, which made people sigh that she was not as good as that.

"Matriarchal clan?" Xue Baochai disagreed: "The ruler's power is God-given, men are superior to women, and women are inferior to each other. Woman is in charge of the clan. Isn't it a reversal of yin and yang? This is just your family's words, where did that person come from?"

"Humans are something similar to monkeys, evolved." Jia Cong said: "Do you think it was made by Nuwa?"

"Puff!" Ying'er couldn't help laughing first. She followed along, collecting willow branches and weaving flower baskets. Ying'er's skillful hands are the second only to Qingwen. She has a good belt and Baoyu wants her to do it. Ying'er turned her head and laughed constantly. Xue Baochai couldn't help but smile: "Everyone says that Brother Bao is the devil king in the world, and she loves to be crazy and crazy. In my opinion, your words are absurd than Brother Bao."

Jia Cong didn't explain, Sun Fu, Long Aotian naturally didn't follow him, and returned to the hospital from the front door. Jia Lan kept listening and said in confusion: "Uncle Cong was knowledgeable and talented. He said that people were transformed from monkeys, so there is some reason... Then where did I come from? I'll ask my mother later... I won't pick it up..."

Jia Lan became sad for a moment.

...

A few people went into the hut and sat there. The nature here was not natural. The decorations and decorations in the hut should be the style of a wealthy family, with calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, flowers inserted in the bottle, Li Wan and the girl Suyun, Bi Yue served tea, melons and fruits, and exquisite desserts.

Jia Lan was afraid of seeing strangers. Even if Daiyu and Baochai had been in the mansion for many years, he didn't greet him often. He was very introverted. When he came to the house and replied to his mother's words, he went to the side room. Jia Cong taught him some county examination experiences and places that need attention. Jia Lan asked: "Do you have to describe your appearance when you go to the county government office to fill out your personal confession? How do you write this without any characteristics?"

"It's okay to have a white face. The county examination and examination room is not standardized and they are all temporarily built. You must be careful to knock the inkstone over carefully and not eat randomly before the exam. If someone talks to you or cheats, you just pretend that it's impossible." Jia Cong gave his experience and went to the side, Li Wan and Xue Baochai also said a few words.

Xue Baochai seemed to be in a bad mood. For some reason, Jia Cong thought about it. Baochai was already fifteen years old and was in her prime. She could get married. Could it be that the specific period of a woman had come? Think about it, Jia Mu also made a grand order to do it on Baochai's birthday this year. Since she was at the age of getting married in feudal society, why did Baochai's talent show not respond for a long time?

In some research on Redology, Xue Baochai failed the draft before her fifteenth birthday.

When she celebrated her fifteenth birthday, Jia Baoyu said that Xue Baochai was like Yang Guifei, and Baochai was immediately furious. You know, this was her only anger and the last time she got angry with the virtuous and virtuous sister Bao. Even Lin Daiyu's sarcasm, repeated verbal attacks, holding a gun and a stick, Xue Baochai could laugh it off, as if nothing happened. Why did Baoyu say Yang Guifei, Baochai rarely get angry?

It’s very simple. The word “Niu Concubine” touches Baochai’s heart.

As for the reason for her failure in the draft, Xue Baochai said a double-choice, "I don't have a good brother like Yang Guozhong." This sentence actually points out that the draft failure was caused by Xue Pan. Xue Pan was involved in the imperial business affairs. He was a bad boy by nature and did a lot of bad things, and these things would inevitably damage the Xue family style. In ancient diary, he paid great attention to the innocence of the family background, whether it was good or not.

Some Redology studies have taken Baochai's fifteenth birthday as the critical point. After the age of fifteen, Baochai's temperament has changed drastically. She has never mentioned the charming Lengxiang Pills. She regards herself as indifferent and does not use any makeup. She also comes into contact with Buddhist scriptures, "I come and go without any worries, and lets me get rid of my wrist shoes and bowls be astray as possible." This is the biggest blow in her life. The father's wishes, the hopes in her family, and the hidden dream of a concubine in her heart are completely shattered.

Dashun's harem system inherited the Ming Dynasty. According to the Ming Huiyao, there were empresses, imperial concubines, concubines, concubines, concubines, talents, etc. The crown princess had ladies, selected servants, talented people. Jiajing's grandmother Empress Dowager Shao said in person: If a woman enters the palace, she will be happy, and she will not be able to eat and live freely, just like a quiet and peaceful person.

Whenever the royal family is selected, the people will be eager to get married, rather than being a commoner wife than an imperial concubine. The deep palace is terrible and even Jia Yuanchun said "a place where no one can be seen." However, since the ancestor of the Xue family, Ziweisheren (Zhongshusheren), there has never been an official again. The family has fallen into the middle and joining the four major families is a bit unworthy of its name. It is the lowest-strength family among the four major families. Therefore, Baochai also bears the hope of the family. However, with a brother like Xue Pan, who is a god-level prodigal son, no matter how great the hope is, he can be defeated.

"My brother Cong Bingzi's provincial examination is expected to be in high school. He will be in Guiyou. He is so fussy. The emperor knows your name. The provincial examination papers and rituals are grinding. If you get the priest to read, it will be a fish leaping on the dragon gate and be proud of the spring breeze." Li Wan wore a light-colored Doroya jacket and took a piece of snack at will, and said, "My child is weird, and I have to rely on you to support him."

"It's hard to say, there's something wrong every time. To be honest, I have a little bit of a slight silence, and I'm worried about it." Jia Cong said indifferently: "Brother Lan is my nephew, it should be."

"Brother and you have a three-year agreement. You will be awarded the exam on the Golden List. You will be awarded the exam in the bridal chamber. If you win the Juren, Xiangling will be yours, just three years." Xue Baochai was dignified and generous: "If you fail, you will be out of luck. A girl like Xiangling has nowhere to look for even a lantern."

"Sister Chengbao Jiyan."

...

Xue Baochai returned to Hengwuyuan with some excitement, held the book and read it for a while, and silently said, "No-hero is powerful and compassionate, and hopes to eliminate subtle confusions. I have achieved supreme enlightenment early and sit in the temple in the ten directions..."

"A word of 'family home', get out early, where is my supreme enlightenment?" Xue Baochai thought out of mind: "Baoyu? Or Jia Cong?"

...

The scholars of Zhili, including the Lugou Bridge in Wanping, Zhending Prefecture, Shunde Prefecture, Shuntian Prefecture and other Zhili, entered Beijing with fluttering clothes and crossed the century-old bridge with great enthusiasm, waiting for the battle in the autumn examination, Kuang Liuhe and Zhang Maocai were listed.
