Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 568 Begonia Poetry

When all the poets saw these two pots of white crabapple in full bloom, they all fell in love with them, and after enjoying them, they began to chant.They wrote poems on this day, and everyone recommended Baochai, Daiyu and Mu Xue's poems and essays to be the top three. It was agreed that Baochai would take them home and find a way to get them on the market for people to see.

Today is the first time Tanchun has invited you to this society. After finishing their poems, everyone dispersed. Only Baochai went home with three drafts of poems, feeling worried.

"This Lin girl will really give me a sweet potato that I'm afraid will be hot. What should I do?"

When she was in a dilemma, Xue Hong, who had found a high-quality fine copper enamel filigree hand stove for Baochai, heard this sentence outside her door, opened the door and said with a smile: "What idea did Miss Lin come up with to make things difficult for you?"

"Second...Second Brother...Why did you come in? What are the girls guarding the gate doing? Why didn't you make a sound?"

Xue Hong raised his eyebrows and said: "We have never had this kind of courtesy between brothers and sisters. What are you talking about? Or are you trying to hide something from me? What are you hiding behind your back? I've seen it all , quickly take it out!"

Seeing that she couldn't hide it anymore, Baochai didn't hide it anymore. She just showed Xue Hong the manuscript of the poem, and told Xue Hong about the poetry club they started.

Xue Hong was not surprised that several of their talented girls got together to start a poetry club. It was something that existed before, but now there is no Grand View Garden, but it didn't hinder the girls' arty interest at all.

But when he heard that these poems were for Baochai to put on the market, he felt very angry: "Nonsense! No matter how detailed this matter is, it's a girl's property. How can it be done?" Spreading it on the market so rashly? It’s just nonsense! It’s okay for others, but a person like sister-in-law You Zhu led you to start a poetry club, and she has such a foolish idea. If the elders know about it, they may not Why are you angry!"

Baochai wondered: "Brother is saying, why don't I know this truth? I don't know what to do with these three poems. But...but...I...we..."

Xue Hong looked at Baochai seriously, and saw the unwillingness and expectation in her eyes.It would be fine if Xue Hong was just an ancient person living in this environment, but he is not.He has seen modern women's self-reliance and independence, even deviant and colorful.Women can live without being so rigid and dogmatic, but unfortunately, the women here are not blessed to enjoy an independent and equal life, because they have never heard of it, so they dare not even think about it.Therefore, the behavior of this prose can be understood as a small resistance of these beautiful girls who are unwilling to be bound by such a suffocating environment.

Xue Hong saw Baochai's struggle and felt pain in his heart.If they were not born in such an environment, what kind of faces would they have?In that modern civilized society with all kinds of things, what kind of life will the girls in the red building have?He never thought about it, and this kind of speculation is also untenable.

Xue Hong took a serious look at Baochai, and finally compromised: "Don't take these poems casually to the market, and don't go out in men's clothes anymore. They are already married to her in-laws, how can they be just because of a few poems?" A small poem that loses its dignity? If there are any incidents caused by this, it is also related to your boudoir reputation. If you trust me, leave this matter to me. Since it is going to be scattered in the market after all I’m afraid I’m not afraid to let me read these poems. I don’t ask who wrote them, I just use my hands to transcribe the poems. Your girl’s brushwork is too delicate, and the smell of powder is too strong. Take Go out and ask people to see that it was written by girls, if someone with a heart deliberately inquires about it, I'm afraid it will show their whereabouts in the end."

Baochai nodded: "Yes, my brother is thoughtful. But, where are you going to take these poems?"

Xue Hong said: "What else is there, naturally it is Princess Ruyi's study. After all, it is a place for the royal family, ordinary people dare not make mistakes, and sister Ruyi sits in the town, so it will be safe to take the poems you wrote. But, I'm afraid I can't hide this matter from Sister Ruyi."

Xue Hong had a plan in mind, so he copied the three poems about Bai Haitang while feeling ashamed.Why are you ashamed?
Speaking of which, Xue Hong is used to reading vernacular Chinese. Now, under Li Zhixing's strict education, he seems to be able to read ancient Chinese proficiently, but... to be honest, he really can't match poetry. It can barely match a few pairs, but it is also a vulgar thing, it can be said that it has no aura at all.

Now I have the three poems in my hand, the poems written by Chai and Dai are exactly the same as the original works. Needless to say, the masterpieces that have been lamented by people for more than a hundred years, the world knows the beauty.But what he never expected was that Su Muxue's poems were more than the two, and the Zen meaning hidden in the poems was even more impressive in its depth.A poem does not seem to only sing about Bai Haitang, but through Bai Haitang, one can see all kinds of things in the world.

(Forgive me for my incompetence. I can only describe the artistic conception of this poem. If I were to write it, I would really be unable to write it. I am the one who is ashamed. (⊙﹏⊙)b)

After transcribing, on the second day, Xue Hong went to visit Ruyi and told the whole story.

Ruyi's eyes lit up, and she said with a smile, "Please show me the poems."

Xue Hong presented the poem with both hands, Ruyi took it over and read it, and she was amazed: "Where did I think of this? It's so delicate! It's really a good poem!"

Xue Hong smiled and said, "Sister princess also thinks it's good?"

"Of course it's good! I didn't know that these sisters in my family were so talented. Now that they have started a poetry club, they will naturally send out good poems in a continuous stream. I think these poems can be published individually. After they come out, they can also wait for their poems to be more, and compile them into a collection of poems. Their poetry club is called Haitang Club, so this collection of poems is simply called "Begonia Poetry Collection". When there are more and more poems, I will put them in Put a few more copies on the shelf where the students copy books every day, and if they can be passed on, we will see whether these poems can attract the attention of these students."

Xue Hong clapped her hands and laughed loudly after hearing this: "If you ask me, writing poetry naturally requires poetic talent, and one must have an exquisite mind. But in terms of intelligence, the princess sister is a crystal heart and a glass person, and no one can compare with you. .”

Ruyi smiled and said: "Poor mouth, bring some good tea from your family to honor me tomorrow, and I will not help you do these things in vain."
