Baoyu Fights the Red Chamber

The girls are already familiar with living in the Red House District every day, so the place for the Dou Shi banquet is set in the flower garden of the Daylily Garden.

Baoyu likes to emphasize that "men and women have different seats at the age of seven", and the girls fully respect them. There is no table, each person has a chair and a table, and the table is placed with their favorite food.

The outdoor banquet usually starts at noon, and in the early morning the servants would go to the family school to urge and invite four times, Baoyu had no choice but to go there early with a board.

The weather in early September was not too hot or cold, but the outdoors was still a pleasant place for the old man. When the two arrived, Mrs. Jiamu Wang's wife, Mrs. Xing, hadn't come yet. They were drinking tea in Yicuidang where Li Wan lived. Only the girls Instruct the maids, daughter-in-law and mother-in-law to be busy.

Ban'er muttered: "Are you asking us to come to work? Uncle Bao, what should we do?"

Baoyu said seriously: "Our task is to be a good supporting role."

The banquet by the curved corridor has been almost arranged, and the crowd is surrounded by a carved nanmu table. On the table is a pot of eye-catching begonias: gold, red and white are smudged, shimmering and shining in the sun, and there are tender red begonias. The green leaves make the delicate flowers more colorful.

The flower pots containing begonias are very familiar, and they look like Jia Yun brand products, and a certain one can't help but sigh that "Begonia Club" will appear unexpectedly.In the original book, Jia Yun obtained two pots of white crabapple to honor Shenying's waiter, and the girls wrote many poems about crabapple.Here, a certain one is interested in flowers and plants, and he is very interested in Jia Yun, and he understands that his flowers and plants are all dug from the wild.Who made Jia's family entertain endlessly all year round, Yun Tongxie didn't have so many real gold and silver gifts, it happened that he had some talent in growing flowers and plants, so he packed flowers and plants to make up the number, thinking that this pot was a birthday gift for Xichun.

When Xiangyun saw Baoyu, he jumped up and said, "If you can't sit at the same table, come here quickly. This is the 'Guest from the Boat' whom you have admired for a long time!"

Yinglian hurriedly went forward to give a junior salute: "Zhougui pays respects to Uncle Bao!"

Baoyu was filled with emotions, and for a moment she forgot to return the gift. The Yinglian she saw in her previous life was cowardly and cowardly, and the person in front of her was magnificent and full of confidence. It seemed that she had a good time in Xia's house.

At this time, Tanchun led a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl forward: "Second brother, this is Wang's cousin."

Baoyu returned to her senses in a hurry, the person with melon-seeded face and red phoenix eyes could be regarded as a little beauty, but with Yinglian in front, Daiyu and Baochai beside her, she looked very ordinary.

No matter how ordinary it is, he might want to marry. He said enthusiastically, "Cousin Wang and niece Zhougui, I am very famous! Cousin Shi, Cousin Lin, and Cousin Xue, are even more talented. Three sisters and four sisters, I want to come to you today." The two will not cover us, and the ancestors are even more partial to you! Hmph, if you want me and nephew Ban to look good, just let them come here!"

Xichun was a little guilty at first, but when he heard Bao's second brother yelling, he turned his mouth up and said, "You don't even have an alias! Be quiet! My birthday star gave you a big 'sour scholar'!"

All the girls applauded, Xiaoguanzhuang often formed a society, the girls each had their own nicknames, Wang Xixue and Yinglian had their own nicknames, but the two supporting boys didn't.

Xiangyun stroked Baner's round head and said, "Auntie sent you 'Mr. Chestnut'."

This remark sparked bursts of laughter: country boys grow their hair late, and they don’t grow their hair until they are twelve or thirteen years old. There are only three tufts of hair on their heads, which look like chestnuts.

The ruler sounded three times, and Daiyu, who was dressed as a lady, said with a smile: "All poets, the nickname has been decided. The opening poem "Ode to Begonia" is limited to seven-character rhymes, and the rhyme is 13 yuan. Begonia flower master, come and draw characters."

"Begonia flower master" is sister Qiao, and she just got another nickname today. I saw her bulging eyes and throwing herself on the Yun brand box, and with her small hands, she pulled out "door, basin, soul, trace, faint".

These five characters are not difficult for girls who often form associations, but it is different for a certain one.Daiyu proudly ordered Zicuckoo to light the "Dream Sweet Fragrance" three inches long and thick as a lamp grass. This kind of incense is easy to burn and has always been used for a limited time.

Fake stones are not a big deal. In the original book, Shenying's waiter wrote a poem about Begonia, but it's just something like "Xiaofeng doesn't let go of a thousand sorrows, and the rain brings tears." The smell of makeup is too strong, and he doesn't want it yet.

A certain one is full of elder feelings and cares about sister Qiao first, but Yaya mumbles next to Baochai that she doesn't need his help.So he cared about Ban'er, who was leaning on the plane tree with his back and clenched his fists, but unexpectedly, after hearing the masterpiece of Shenying's waiter, Ban'er didn't like it.

The fake stone was very boring, so he looked at Wang Xixue again.Miss Wang frowned slightly, obviously she was in difficult labor.

He thought it didn't matter whether Cousin Wang liked it or not, so he had to show it.So he whispered the poems eliminated by Ban'er to Qianxue, and asked her to tell Miss Wang.Qianxue was dumbfounded. Although she knew a lot of characters, Erye Bao was not good at poetry, and the girls were not good at it, so they didn't understand.The fake stone had no choice but to draw it on the ground with a branch to show her.

At this time, "Meng Tianxiang" was almost burned, and Baoyu hurriedly wrote down a poem that should be made.Looking back after finishing writing, Wang Xixue also spent a penny on her own desk.

The fake stone didn't bother, and just looked at the masterpieces written by the girls.From this point of view, there is no need to comment. If the scientific examination confirms that he ranks first, all the allusions come from the Jingzi History Collection.When it comes to poetry itself, if Wang Xixue is not at the bottom, then he is.In fact, he is not really so clumsy in poetry, but why should he show it today?

After another moment, Wang Xixue finished writing just before the incense burnt.Without waiting for him to join in the show, Tanchun read it first, and read a sentence of praise.Fake Stone was stunned when he heard it, and said that none of the poems in the original work, including Daiyu Baochai's, was a work of genius, how great can a little girl who is only ten years old and trapped in the inner house be?Wang Xixue's poems are not very good, but—

Begonia entered the heavy door from the wild, with a dew flower dress dancing vegetarian basin.The short-tune long song frightens the cold garden, and the fragrance is colorful and intoxicating.

One day, the autumn scenery welcomes the guests, and the golden sun sends rain marks at ten thousand points.Thousands of years have passed by splashing ink mountains and rivers, and Danqing takes pictures and laughs at dusk.

The fake stone sighs secretly, although it is not as straightforward as Baochai's "good winds take advantage of the force, send me to Qingyun", but it is also bright enough. The begonia from the wilderness should be amazing and look down on her wealthy family, but also want to look down on her. For thousands of years.Listen, "Take a picture of a picture", who can keep a portrait for thousands of years?Want to be the mother of the country?Do Empress Wu Zetian?

Chapter 70 of the original book once mentioned that "Wang Ziteng's daughter Xu married the son of Baoning Hou". Wang Ziteng's two biological daughters were married long ago, and Wang Xixue might be the one who entered the Hou's mansion.But can Xiao Xiaohou's Mansion satisfy Wang Xixue?Anyway, he couldn't be satisfied. If Mrs. Wang really liked her and married her, a "resentful couple" could be expected.

The girls were chatting and commenting on poems, and Li Wan accompanied Jia's mothers to this side.

Mrs. Wang didn't understand the chants of the girls who are so talented. Jia's mother has more ink in her stomach than her. Don't look at her growing up in the war-torn era. It was when the Jia family became a new rich man that she was the great-grandson's daughter-in-law. She really gritted her teeth and read some books. Not only did he understand Wang Xixue's much-praised masterpiece, but he also noticed Baoyu's expression, and couldn't help but cast a mocking glance at Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang's sensitivity to eyes is super high, and she secretly laughs in her heart. She doesn't consider Wang Xixue as a daughter-in-law candidate at all. The only promising member of the Wang family is her second brother. She is enough to maintain the in-law relationship, and Wang Xifeng doesn't even need to marry.Marrying Sister Feng through the family, followed by the poor Wang Ren's family, has caused shame.Marrying Sister Xue again will make a lot of burdens for the younger generation?

Mrs. Xing on one side had a headache. She didn't want to offend her sister-in-law, let alone her mother-in-law, so she simply raised her voice to greet the girls.All the girls rushed over to salute, and Tanchun ordered the women to go to the kitchen to urge the dishes.

Today, it is said that they all use fresh vegetables brought by Grandma Liu, but when the cooks in the Red Chamber come into battle, the dishes themselves become the ingredients, and various expensive condiments are the mainstay, and the cooks hang the broth day and night, and the master can quickly deliver it whenever he wants to eat.But after a while, the daughter-in-law who was in charge of the kitchen led the mothers-in-law to deliver delicacies.

All the girls hugged Jiamu and sat on the seat facing south, and her little one was a little taller than the others.Sister Qiao sat on the right side of Jiamu with her godmother. Xing, Wang and Li Wan didn't sit, but stood behind Jiamu to serve.

Jia Mu waved her hand: "Everyone sits and sits. Ladies have fun at home, so there are so many rules. Today is better with good wine, good food and good times. Let's follow the example of others."

All the girls cheered and cheered, Daiyu shook Jia Mu's arm wildly: "The elder sister Yuanyang always acted as the master of the ancestors' orders, but Yu'er refused to accept it, so she chose to be the master!"

The so-called "Lingzhu" is dedicated to writing questions. Jiamu laughed: "You monkey, don't think that I am old and deaf. You are the only one who didn't write poems. Do you want to be lazy? Go away!"

Daiyu refused to obey like a twisted candy, Baoyu didn't realize that they were coming after him, thinking that Daiyu was trying to play tricks on Grandma Liu.In the original book "Grandma Liu Visits the Grand View Garden", Sister Feng and Yuanyang make arrangements, and the wives and girls make fun of Grandma Liu, and Daiyu nicknames Grandma Liu "Mother Locust".He didn't like this kind of behavior very much. Thinking of Ban'er's little poetic talent, Push Ban'er sat next to Grandma Liu to answer.

Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "If you don't come here, drink more wine, get drunk and go to sleep, who else will make fun of us?"

Baoyu was startled: Yes, Mrs. Wang is not good at it either.So he rushed over to stand beside the fake mother.

Daiyu snorted with infinite contempt.Jia's mother woke up, and she knew that the children's nonsense would only make them closer and closer, so En Zhun Daiyu was the lord.

Daiyu clattered shuffling the dominoes proudly, and said, "This order is very common. Every sentence that rhymes on the dominoes will be combined into a poem and song, and anyone who makes a mistake will be fined a cup!"

Grandma Liu was dumbfounded. At first she thought it was a punching order, but now she kept saying "please forgive me".

Jia Mu quickly winked: "Now that Yu'er is the lord, we have to listen to her. Let's just drink together."

Daiyu became more and more complacent: "The wine order is like a military order. No matter how high or low, I am the master. If I fake a poem, I will be punished with a jug of wine!"

The two women with round waists immediately raised the pot, which was not a small wine pot on the tree, but a large kettle for boiling water.

Grandma Liu was so frightened that she almost fell down, and Daiyu's red lips curled up: "If you want to replace a poem, I have to ask the Lord to do it for you! Grandma, sit still and don't be surprised. According to the order, the ancestors will have a glass of wine first."

Mother Jia drank it readily, and Daiyu said again: "From the middle position, turn left and stop until grandma. There is already a pair, old ancestor, and Zhang Tian is on the left."

Jia Mu said, "There is a blue sky above your head."

Grandma Liu said happily: "If you say this, I will too. The dealers often drink and say things well when they are free."

Daiyu didn't want to embarrass her, so she didn't answer the words and just kept going.

After a while, she arrived at the board, and she specially picked the dominoes with simple rhymes: "Look at this pair, the left side is a big long six."

Ban'er continued, "A cow passed by in the field."

Jia Mu praised: "Well said, Zhuangjiazi's true colors."

Daiyu smiled and said, "The one on the right is still a big six."

Ban'er continued: "The sound of the flute in the evening and the stream flowing."

Sister Qiao clapped her hands: "Wonderful, people walk in the painting!" All the girls praised her elegance.

Daiyu said again: "Among them is a little Yaosi."

Ban'er replied: "Colorful thick autumn spreads the earth!"

Daiyu looked at her with admiration, laughed and said, "It's a combination of wild red and green."

Ban'er hangs his head for a while and doesn't say a word, and all the girls laugh at him.

Jia Mu smiled and said, "You're so kind. Except for Qiao, it's hard for him to be small. Good boy, drink a glass of sherbet."

Ban'er slapped his head: "Cow, sheep, pig, dog and chestnut head!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, thinking about Ban'er's alias "Mr. Chestnut", they burst into laughter.

Baoyu hit the case: "Wonderful! The vulgar is the elegant, and this is the scene of a good harvest. I often think that every food and clothing in the world are all from the hands of the peasants and weavers. How dare we look down on the peasants and the poor."

He would say that, in the original book, Shenying’s waiter called Grandma Liu a “poor woman”, Daiyu Miaoyu and others looked down on Grandma Liu, if not for scruples, he really wanted to add the sentence “Those who don’t tillage or weave are for parasites” , you guys are all fucking parasites!It's a pity that no one understood his humble words and righteousness, so Xiangyun yelled: "I want the Lord to act quickly! Let's see his elegant words."

The order continued, and Ban'er drank the sherbet.The last sentence he would say was that the Jialans dragged him for half a day last night, asking him to protect Uncle Baotu from being bullied by all the girls, but he tried his best to belittle himself, and the aunts still grabbed Uncle Bao. put!

When you talk about Baoyu, you can see it.Daiyu coughed heavily, and all the girls were silent.

But Daiyu said leisurely: "There are two bright spots on the left side, and the rhyme of turning marks."

The others didn't change the rhyme, just rhyme with the sentence they uttered, but it's Baoyu's turn to change tricks, if he can't see who he is targeting, he is a fool.He didn't bother to pay attention to the little girl's tricks, and said casually, "Nobody."

Everyone was dumbfounded, and Daiyu nodded: "If you write lyrics, you will have four lives in the middle." Baoyu opened his mouth and said, "There is no god."

Daiyu slapped the table: "Which ci card is this? You're looking for a fine!"

Baoyu bowed his head and said: "Your Excellency is the lord of the order, and no one can match it. I am going to test Jiao Jiao, my eyes are dull, and I will punish you with a glass of wine."

Mrs. Wang laughed out loud. Because of her lack of poetic talent, she was annoyed at playing wet and dry at the banquet. Baoyu's nonsense was just what she wanted, so she pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "My lord, it's hard to convince the public with only one cup of punishment, and the least poetry Do you want four sentences? No matter what, you have to have one sentence and one cup."

The alcohol content of rice wine is not high, and the wine glass is also small. Baoyu honestly drank four glasses in a row, and thought that he was the last one to write poems before.

Daiyu was aggrieved, as if her fist had hit cotton.However, it is a true heroine who has been defeated and fought repeatedly!So I made a gesture of generosity: ""Ode to Begonia" is just an opening embellishment, so there will be no penalty. After the banquet, if you lose the twelve chrysanthemum scores, how will you be punished?"

Xiangyun was the first to shout: "Return the seats, return twelve seats in a row!"

The author has something to say: This is a masterpiece of cannon fodder, and Wang Xixue's poems are also mine.
