，，：「？」，。Meanwhile Yingr was still weaving there when Old Woman He's young daughter Chunyan came up and asked with a smile, "Sister, what are you weaving?" Just as she spoke, Ruiguan and Ouguan arrived as well.：「？Chunyan then said to Ouguan, "The other day, what exactly was that paper you were burning?"，，，。My aunt saw it and wanted to report you, but couldn't manage it — instead Baoyu turned it around and blamed her for a great many faults, which made her so angry she told my mother the whole story from beginning to end.，？」：「？What grudge have you two built up out there these past two or three years, that it still hasn't been resolved?" Ouguan said with a cold laugh, "What grudge is there?"，。They're never satisfied, and instead they blame us.，，，，，。These two years out there, not to mention anything else, just reckoning our rice and vegetables alone — there's no telling how much they've skimmed off and taken home, more than their whole family could eat, and on top of that there's the money they make every day buying this and that.，。Whenever we ask them to do the least little errand for us, they complain to heaven and earth about it.？」：「，。Tell me, is there any conscience in that?" Chunyan said with a smile, "She's my aunt, after all — I can't very well take an outsider's side against her."：『，，，，，，，，，。No wonder Baoyu says: 'A girl before she marries is a priceless pearl; once she marries, somehow all sorts of bad faults come out in her, and though she's still a pearl, it has no luster or color left — it's become a dead pearl; and once she grows old, she changes even further, no longer a pearl at all, but a fish's eye.'，？』，。'Clearly it's one and the same person — how does she turn into three different things?' Nonsense as that talk is, it isn't entirely wrong, either.，，，。I can't speak for others, but just take my mother and my aunt — the two old sisters — the older they get, the more seriously they take money.，，，，。At first the two old sisters used to complain at home about having no post and no extra income; luckily, once this garden was built, I was picked to come in, and as it happened I was assigned to Yihong Yuan.，，。Not counting the saving on my own expenses at home, there's also four or five hundred cash left over every month — and even that, they say, isn't enough.，，，。Later the two old sisters were both assigned to look after the girls at Lixiang Yuan; Ouguan took my aunt as her adoptive mother, and Fangguan took my mother as hers, and these past few years they've really been well off.，。Now that they've moved in here, you'd think they'd let go of it, yet they're still never satisfied.？Don't you think that's funny?，。My aunt just had a quarrel with Ouguan, and right after that my mother quarreled with Fangguan over washing her hair.。Fangguan wanted to have her hair washed, and my mother wouldn't even wash it for her.，，。Yesterday, after getting her monthly allowance, she couldn't put it off any longer, so she bought things and had me wash it first.：，，，，，，，？I thought it over: I have money of my own, and even if I had none and wanted a wash, it would be easy enough to say a word to any one of Xiren, Qingwen, or Sheyue — why should I need to borrow this kind of favor?。It's really pointless.。So I didn't wash it.，，。Then she had my little sister Xiaojiu'er wash hers first, and only then called Fangguan, and sure enough a quarrel broke out.，？Right after that she wanted to blow on Baoyu's soup to cool it for him — can you imagine anything more laughable?，。The moment I saw her come in, I told her all the rules.，，。But she simply wouldn't believe me, insisted on acting as if she already knew everything, and ended up thoroughly making a fool of herself.，。Luckily there are so many people in the garden that no one keeps clear track of who's related to whom.，，？If people did remember, and it turned out to be only our own family quarreling, what sense would that make?。And now here you come again to fool around with this.，，，，，，，。Everything growing along this stretch of ground is under my aunt's charge; ever since she got hold of this place, she's guarded it more fiercely than if it were a permanent estate — up early and to bed late every day, and not only does she wear herself out over it, she pushes us every day to keep watch too, terrified someone might trample something, and afraid it might cost me my post.，，。Now that we've moved in, the two old women, aunt and sister-in-law together, watch over it so carefully that they won't let anyone touch even a single blade of grass.，，，。」：「，。And here you are picking these flowers and snapping off her tender branches too — they'll be here any moment, so mind they don't complain." Yingr said, "It's true no one else may pick and snap things carelessly, but I'm the exception.，，，。Ever since the plots of ground were divided up, every room has had its own allotted share each day; not counting what's for eating, this covers flowers and plants and such playthings too.，，，。Whoever is in charge of what, every day sends over sprays of every kind of flower for the young ladies and maids of the various rooms to wear, as well as some for putting in vases.：『，。』。Only we said, 'There's no need to send anything at all — whenever we want something, we'll ask you for it.' And in fact we've never once asked.，。」So if I pick a few now, they won't have the face to say anything about it."

这里莺儿正编，只见何婆的小女春燕走来，笑问：「姐姐织什么呢？」正说著，蕊藕二人也到了。春燕便向藕官道：「前儿你到底烧什么纸？被我姨妈看见了，要告你没告成，倒被宝玉赖了他一大些不是，气的他一五一十告诉我妈。你们在外头这二三年积了些什么仇恨，如今还不解开？」藕官冷笑道：「有什么仇恨？他们不知足，反怨我们了。在外头这两年，别的东西不算，只算我们的米菜，不知赚了多少家去，合家子吃不了，还有每日买东买西赚的钱在外。逢我们使他们一使儿，就怨天怨地的。你说说可有良心？」春燕笑道：「他是我的姨妈，也不好向著外人反说他的。怨不得宝玉说：『女孩儿未出嫁，是颗无价之宝珠，出了嫁，不知怎么就变出许多的不好的毛病来，虽是颗珠子，却没有光彩宝色，是颗死珠了，再老了，更变的不是珠子，竟是鱼眼睛了。分明一个人，怎么变出三样来？』这话虽是混话，倒也有些不差。别人不知道，只说我妈和姨妈，他老姊妹两个，如今越老了越把钱看的真了。先时老姐儿两个在家抱怨没个差使，没个进益，幸亏有了这园子，把我挑进来，可巧把我分到怡红院。家里省了我一个人的费用不算外，每月还有四五百钱的余剩，这也还说不够。后来老姊妹二人都派到梨香院去照看他们，藕官认了我姨妈，芳官认了我妈，这几年著实宽裕了。如今挪进来也算撒开手了，还只无厌。你说好笑不好笑？我姨妈刚和藕官吵了，接著我妈为洗头就和芳官吵。芳官连要洗头也不给他洗。昨日得月钱，推不去了，买了东西先叫我洗。我想了一想：我自有钱，就没钱要洗时，不管袭人，晴雯，麝月，那一个跟前和他们说一声，也都容易，何必借这个光儿？好没意思。所以我不洗。他又叫我妹妹小鸠儿洗了，才叫芳官，果然就吵起来。接著又要给宝玉吹汤，你说可笑死了人？我见他一进来，我就告诉那些规矩。他只不信，只要强做知道的，足的讨个没趣儿。幸亏园里的人多，没人分记的清楚谁是谁的亲故。若有人记得，只有我们一家人吵，什么意思呢？你这会子又跑来弄这个。这一带地上的东西都是我姑娘管著，一得了这地方，比得了永远基业还利害，每日早起晚睡，自己辛苦了还不算，每日逼著我们来照看，生恐有人遭踏，又怕误了我的差使。如今进来了，老姑嫂两个照看得谨谨慎慎，一根草也不许人动。你还掐这些花儿，又折他的嫩树，他们即刻就来，仔细他们抱怨。」莺儿道：「别人乱折乱掐使不得，独我使得。自从分了地基之后，每日里各房皆有分例，吃的不用算，单管花草顽意儿。谁管什么，每日谁就把各房里姑娘丫头戴的，必要各色送些折枝的去，还有插瓶的。惟有我们说了：『一概不用送，等要什么再和你们要。』究竟没有要过一次。我今便掐些，他们也不好意思说的。」

，。Before she had even finished speaking, her aunt did indeed come walking up, leaning on a cane.。Yingr, Chunyan, and the others hastily offered her a seat.，，，，，：「，。The old woman, seeing all the tender willow twigs that had been picked, and seeing that Ouguan and the others had picked a great many fresh flowers besides, felt displeased at heart; but watching Yingr weave, she could hardly say anything about it, so instead she turned on Chunyan: "I told you to come and keep an eye on things, and you've gone and gotten so absorbed in playing you won't leave.，，。」：「，，。And if you're called for and can't be found, you'll say I sent you off on an errand, using me as your excuse to sneak off and enjoy yourself." Chunyan said, "First you send me on errands yourself, and worry about it, and now instead you blame me.？」：「，。Am I supposed to split myself into eight pieces?" Yingr said with a smile, "Auntie, don't believe what Xiaoyan says.，，，。」：「，，。」，，，，，，，，，：「，，。She picked all this herself, and bothered me to weave it for her; I told her to go, and she wouldn't." Chunyan said with a laugh, "You'd better joke less — if you keep at it, the old lady will take it seriously." The old woman was by nature foolish and stubborn, and being besides nearly senile with age and caring for nothing but profit, she paid no heed at all to anyone's feelings; her heart aching and at her wits' end, when she heard Yingr talk like this, she played on her age, took up her cane, struck Chunyan a few blows with it, and cursed, "You little wretch, I was speaking to you, and you still talk back at me!，。Your mother is so furious her back teeth itch — she wants to tear the flesh right off you and eat it.。」，：「，。And still you come talking back at me like a stubborn mule." The beating left Chunyan both ashamed and desperate, and she cried, "It was just a joke of Sister Yingr's, and you go and really beat me for it.？Why should my mother hate me?，！」，，，：「，，？」：「，，，？」，，：「，，。I didn't even burn the washing water — what fault have I committed?" Yingr had only meant it as a joke, and seeing the old woman suddenly grow genuinely angry, she hurried over and caught hold of her, saying with a smile, "It was only a joke of mine — if you beat her for it, how could I not feel ashamed?" The old woman said, "Miss, don't meddle in our affairs — just because you're here, Miss, does that mean I'm not allowed to discipline my own child?" Hearing such foolish talk, Yingr flushed with annoyance, let go of her, and said with a cold laugh, "If you wanted to discipline her, there was no moment you couldn't have — it just happens you start disciplining her the instant I make one joking remark.！」，，。Go right ahead and discipline her, then, for all I care!" So saying, she sat back down and went on weaving her willow basket.

，：「，？」：「，！As luck would have it, Chunyan's mother came out looking for her just then, calling, "Why haven't you come to fetch water — what are you doing over there?" The old woman at once took up the cry, "Come and see — your daughter won't even mind me anymore!。」：「，？She's over there giving me a talking-to." The other old woman came walking over, saying, "Now what's the matter, madam?，？」，。It's bad enough our girl has no regard for her own mother — has she no regard for her aunt either?" Seeing that Chunyan's mother had come, Yingr had no choice but to explain the matter again from the start.，：「，。But the aunt would not let anyone else get a word in, and pointed to the flowers and willow twigs on the rock to show Chunyan's mother, saying, "Just look — this is what your grown daughter has been up to.，？」，，，：「，？She's the one who led the others in humiliating me — how could I be the one in the wrong?" Chunyan's mother, still smarting from her anger over Fangguan and resentful besides that Chunyan wouldn't do as she wished, stepped up and slapped her across the face, cursing, "You little slut, how many years is it since you moved up in the world?，？You've gone and learned from that pack of flighty, wanton young hussies — since when can't I discipline you lot?，，！I may not have the right to discipline the adopted ones, but you — you came out of my own cunt, so don't tell me I daren't discipline you too!，，。」，，：「？Since the places you wretches get to go, I can't go to, you ought to stay there and slave away till you drop, instead of running back out here to gad about." So saying, she snatched up the willow twigs and thrust them right in her face, demanding, "What do you call this?！」：「，。」，，，，，，，，。This is woven out of your mother's cunt!" Yingr quickly said, "That's something we wove ourselves — don't you go pointing at the mulberry to curse the locust, old woman." This old woman deeply envied Xiren, Qingwen, and that whole set, for she knew well enough that all the senior maids of the great rooms had more standing and authority than her own kind; whenever she came across any of them she felt both fear and the need to defer, which could not help but breed both anger and resentment in her, and this spilled over onto everyone around; then, catching sight of Ouguan as well, who was her own sister's adversary besides, all of this gathered from every side into a single fit of rage.

，。Now Chunyan ran straight into the courtyard, and ran headlong into Xiren, who was on her way to pay her respects to Daiyu.，：「！Chunyan threw her arms around Xiren and said, "Save me, sister!。」，，：「，，？」，，：「，！My mother's beating me again." When Xiren saw the mother coming, she couldn't help getting angry, and said, "Every couple of days it's beating the adopted one, then beating your own — are you just showing off how many daughters you have, or do you truly not know the law?" This old woman, having been here only a few days, had taken Xiren's quietness for good nature, and so said, "You don't understand, Miss — don't meddle in our family business!，？」，。It's all because you people have spoiled her — what's there to manage about it now?" So saying, she went after Chunyan again to beat her.，，，：「，。」，，。Furious, Xiren turned and went inside, where she found Sheyue hanging up handkerchiefs to dry under the crab-apple tree; hearing all the shouting, Sheyue said, "Never mind her, sister — let's see what she does." At the same time she gave Chunyan a look, and Chunyan, understanding, ran straight to Baoyu.：「。」：「，，？」，：「，。」，，。Everyone said with a laugh, "Really, she's stirring up trouble out of nothing at all." Sheyue said to the old woman, "You'd better hold your temper a little — surely, with all these people's standing, we can't even beg you off for her?" The old woman saw her daughter run straight to Baoyu's side, and saw Baoyu take Chunyan's hand and say, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." Chunyan, crying and talking by turns, told him the whole business with Yingr and the rest.，：「，？」：「，，，，。」：「！Baoyu grew all the more agitated and said, "It's bad enough you make trouble here — how could you go and offend even the guests?" Sheyue said again to the old woman and everyone else, "No wonder this good woman says it's not our place to interfere in their affairs — well, foolish as we were to meddle wrongly, let's now send for someone whose place it really is to handle this, and then, good woman, you'll be convinced in heart and mouth both, and you'll learn some manners too." Then she turned and called to a young maid, "Go and fetch Ping'er for me!。」。If Ping'er is too busy, then bring Aunt Lin instead." The young maid agreed and went off.：「，。Several of the married women came up and said with a smile, "Sister, quickly beg the young ladies to call that girl back.，。」：「，。」：「？If Miss Ping comes, things will go badly for you." The old woman said, "No matter which Miss Ping comes, there's still reason to be had — there's no such thing as everyone ganging up to discipline a mother when it's the mother disciplining her own daughter." Everyone laughed and said, "Do you think you know which Miss Ping this is?。This is Miss Ping from the Second Mistress's own rooms.，，，！」If she's in a good mood, she'll just say a word or two to you; but if she turns on you, sister, you'll have more than you can handle!"

What it’s about

Yinger gathers willow switches and flowers by Willow Bank to weave a basket. An older woman charged with the plants resents the damage but does not dare rebuke Baochai's maid directly, so she turns on her niece Chunyan. Chunyan had already warned Yinger about the contractor's possessiveness and now receives blows for another person's privilege. The quarrel reveals how Tanchun's garden reform travels through kinship: a plot entrusted to one servant family can feel like permanent property, while anger moves toward whichever younger woman is safest to strike.

Chunyan's mother is also Fangguan's foster mother and arrives at Happy Red Court already furious over the washing-water dispute. She beats her daughter for defending Fangguan, and Chunyan runs to Baoyu for protection. Xiren, Sheyue and the other maids mobilize household rules like military commands, sending messages to senior managers and threatening the mother with expulsion. Baoyu's room becomes a refuge, but also a command post whose favored servants can summon authority unavailable to women outside it. The episode ends with the grievance widening beyond a family quarrel into a test of who may discipline whom.

When it was written 背景

The comic title uses birds—warbler and swallow—for Yinger and Chunyan, then describes a flying summons as though a domestic scuffle were a campaign. That mock-military scale is revealing. Grand Prospect Garden contains layered jurisdictions: young mistresses, senior maids, foster mothers, contractors and kin all possess partial authority, so a flower basket or basin of water can activate the whole hierarchy. The reform of chapter fifty-six did not create greed or violence, but new rights over produce give old family tensions another vocabulary. Baoyu famously idealizes unmarried girls and condemns older women as corrupted; this chapter lets readers see why that judgment appeals to him while also showing its limits. Age alone is not the cause—the distribution of dependence and permission is.
