A monk led Jia Baoyu to Taixu Fantasy.She took Baoyu on a trip to the fairyland and came to the Book of Life Department. Baoyu looked through the first volume, the second volume and the double volume of Twelve Hairpins in Jinling, and was very puzzled by the pictures and judgments on them.He thought over and over again about the words "jade belt hanging in the forest, gold hairpin buried in the snow" and so on.Knowing Baoyu's talent was so high that he was afraid that the immortal would reveal it, he led him to other places to watch the fairy music, and ordered people to offer "Thousand Red Caves" tea and "Wanyan Tonghuai" wine.Jing Huan explained the meaning of the word "obscene" to him, and took him to her sister Ke Qing's residence to experience the feelings of clouds and rain, hoping that he would soon become enlightened.Suddenly, lightning flashed and thunder roared.

Ping Er came in and reported that Grandma Rong in the east mansion had died.After the death of Qin Keqing, Jia Zhen was very sad and vowed to make a great funeral.However, Mr. You fell ill, and no one in the mansion took care of the funeral.When Jia Zhen was in trouble, Baoyu recommended Sister Feng to him.When Sister Feng went to the East Mansion to take charge, she managed strictly and assigned her servants to perform their own duties.The men and women servants dare not disobey.On the day of the funeral, the young King Beijing came to the road to sacrifice himself, invited Baoyu to meet him, and gave Baoyu the incense string given by the Holy Father.Qin Keqing's spiritual pivot was sent to Tieguan Temple, and Sister Feng stayed at steamed bun fax.Jingxu, the abbot of Steamed Bun Fax, told Sister Feng about the lawsuit that the Zhang family had brought against the former Chang'an garrison because of Miss Jin's marriage.Sister Feng agreed to intercede for the Zhang family.As a result, Brother Jin and the guarding childe both committed suicide, and only Sister Feng got three thousand silver coins.Jia Dai is a Confucian. Jia Rui is terminally ill because of his love for Sister Feng.The lame Taoist gave him a precious lesson of the wind and moon, and asked him to look only at the back of the mirror.Jia Rui didn't listen to the Taoist, looked at the front of the mirror, and was caught by a common iron lock.Jarry shouted, "Let me take the mirror before we go." Then he stopped breathing.
At the beginning of the summer, Rongguo Mansion was celebrating Jia Zheng's birthday when the eunuch in the palace came to deliver a decree to proclaim Jia Zheng's entry into the court.The whole family was uncertain. When Jia Zheng's family returned, they knew that it was a great happy event: Chief Executive Jia Yuanchun was granted the title of Fengzao Palace Minister and Princess Xiande.Everyone in Jia's house congratulated, but Baoyu was only thinking about Daiyu returning to Suzhou.At this time, news came that Daiyu would come back with Jia Chain, and Baoyu was so happy that she wrote the word "frown" for Daiyu.When Daiyu came back, she couldn't help shedding tears when she saw the words written by Baoyu.Jia Chai returns home and tells Sister Feng that Yuanchun is going to visit his relatives.
