The Red Chamber is not a dream

【No.20 Five Chapters】Let's have fun while playing and throwing pots. Therefore, it is necessary to invite you into the urn

A few days later is the Lantern Festival, because the new population in the mansion is full of joy, so this year's Lantern Festival is more lively than in previous years. Both mansions have prepared a lot of lanterns, waiting for the night; In the middle of the year, there is year school in the school room, and needles are taboo in the boudoir, but when they are free, the two brothers and sisters of Yunyu go to Lixiangyuan to play games, and Aunt Xue goes to Jiamu's side, only Xue Die and Baochai are there.When several people met, Xue Die smiled and said, "I'm busy all day long, so it's easy for us to have this time. What can we do?" Baochai said, "Take the dice and let's play Go." Xue Die shook his head. Said: "It's so cold today, it's better to move." Yunyu thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Bring your arrow, how about we throw it into the pot?" Go and get the quiver from the room, and find a copper pot and put it in the courtyard. Several people threw the pot for fun.

But it is said that the throwing pot was originally changed from archery.The stubborn people stand five steps away from the pot and take turns throwing arrows without arrows into the pot. Each person is limited to throwing four arrows.The name of the arrow into the pot is divided into "youchu" (the first arrow into the pot), "lianzhong" (the second arrow in a row), "guaner" (throwing the ear of the pot), "scattered arrow" "Arrow" (the first arrow does not enter the pot, and the second arrow is thrown into the pot), "Full Pot" (the arrow hits the pot), "you end" (the arrow does not go into the pot), "Xiao Jian" (the one that is thrown into the pot) There are several kinds of arrows that jumped out and then fell into the pot), which is quite interesting [Note ①].Seeing that the arrangement was ready for a while, Xue Die said, "Let's just draw lots first." Daiyu hurriedly said, "It's not right to draw lots. If I and Sister Bao are the only ones to lose, you will practice every day." Riding and shooting is naturally better than us." Yunyu laughed and said: "What's the difficulty, we can only have four people, I will be on your side, Wen Qi will be on the side of Big Sister Xue, and it will be cheaper for us to stay together as a family. But put the number of arrows of the two people together and it will be enough." Hearing this, several people agreed, so they divided the arrows and stood still.

Zhenyu knew that Daiyu was not stubborn, so she smiled and said, "Let's not compare, let's try a few shots first, we still have the art of war to talk about." So she pulled Daiyu aside and said in a low voice, "Look Have you ever touched the pot? When you threw it, you leaned forward a little, but you want to throw him with this wrist strength——I’ll throw one first, you see." He picked an arrow from his quiver, and drew a line towards it. Then he stood up, lightly stretched his long arms, and with a flick of his wrist, the arrow branch was firmly inserted into the pot, and the maidservants standing beside him applauded and applauded.Yunyu went over and took out the arrow, handed it to Daiyu and said, "Sister, try it. This arrow is light and easy to throw." Daiyu took the arrow and stood behind the line, imitating him. It looks like throwing it into the pot, just hitting the spout and jumping out, it's a pity.Seeing her younger sister's appearance, and seeing Baochai pursing her lips and smiling, Yunyu asked him with a smile, "Sister Xue thinks she's been naughty about this." Everything is stubborn, he also taught me this. At that time, I didn’t know what to do, and I wanted to throw everything in it. I knocked open the vase in my father’s study. My father was very distressed, and he couldn’t bear to scold I only criticize my brother for not teaching me these things." Yunyu laughed loudly and said, "Sister Xue is an expert, but please be merciful today." As the group spoke, they saw Daiyu throw another arrow, but this time she did It was thrown steadily into the mouth of the pot, and Baochai smiled and said, "Sister Lin is also able to throw it accurately? It is not yet decided who will win and who will lose." At the same time, a maid came over and took the arrow and sent it to Daiyu. Several people chose each He shot four arrows and threw them into the pot one by one without mentioning it.

In a blink of an eye, after a round of tossing, Jinyu and Xue Die threw the whole pot together. Baochai hit three arrows and Daiyu hit two arrows, so Xue Die and the others had an extra chip.Seeing another round, Xue Die first hit all four arrows. When Lin Baochai threw it, he had already hit two arrows. Seeing Daiyu twisting her handkerchief and looking at herself, fearing that he would lose, she felt unhappy, and shot the last two arrows. He deliberately missed it.Who knows that when Daiyu cast, the first arrow missed, the second and third arrows hit, and when the fourth arrow was carried by the feathers of the first two arrows, it was carried on the mouth of the pot, and it was still the same. Missed.Seeing this, Xue Die smiled and said, "Brother doesn't need to cast anymore. Seeing that the victory and defeat have been divided, it is serious to accept the punishment obediently." Yanyu laughed and said, "Who said you lost?" On the tail of the arrow that Daiyu missed, there was a sound of "Ding", and the two arrows fell into the mouth of the pot. Everyone cheered when they saw it.Then Yunyu threw three more arrows in a row, all of which hit.Yanyu smiled at Xue Die and said, "Your thirteen arrows, we also have thirteen arrows. We are equally divided, and no one can punish anyone." Xue Die said, "You are cheating, that arrow came in later." "In the beginning, we talked about four sticks per person. Did I vote too much? Besides, we counted the number of pots entered. We are the same as you. How can we count as a loss?"

Several people were chatting and joking, when someone reported, "Miss Shi is here, and the old lady is asking all the masters and girls to go." Hearing this, the four of them put on their outer clothes in the house and came to Jiamu together. here.I saw that Shi Xiangyun and Baoyu Sanchun were both there, and Xiangyun was laughing and saying, seeing a few of them coming, he hurriedly asked his friends to see him.That Baoyu was sitting next to Xiangyun. When he saw Daiyu coming, he hurriedly moved to sit near him, and asked where Daiyu came. He also praised Daiyu for her good complexion today, nagging and talking nonstop, leaving everyone aside.When Xiangyun saw him, he smiled and said: "Second brother, sister Lin, you are stubborn together every day, I finally came here, and ignored me." Daiyu heard that his articulation was funny, and said with a smile: "It's just tongue-biting. Zi loves to talk, and he can't even bite a "two". When you come back to play Go, it's your turn to make a "Yaoai three four five" again." Baoyu laughed and said: "You are used to him, and you will bite tomorrow Get up." Shi Xiangyun snorted and said, "He won't let people go any more. It's not good to pick on people. You yourself are better than the world, and you don't make fun of each other." Seeing Baochai next to him, He said, "If you dare to pick on sister Bao's shortcomings, you are considered good. I am not as good as you, why is he not as good as you." Daiyu laughed and said, "Where do I dare to pick on my sister? The old and the young are not as good as you." You know? Only the older sister talks about the younger sister, and the younger sister talks about the older sister instead, and that won't mess up the rules." Knowing that Daiyu was mocking Xiangyun, Yu Yu didn't speak, and just sat and drank tea.Baochai glanced at Daiyu with a smile, and said, "I have those shortcomings. You can choose them. I won't be angry anymore." The words diverge.Xiangyun didn't take advantage of the opportunity, after all, he was not reconciled, so he smiled and said: "I am naturally inferior to you in this life. I only bless tomorrow's brother-in-law Lin who bites his tongue. You can listen to me all the time" love "'Er' go. Amitabha, that's in my eyes!" After saying that, she was afraid that Daiyu would get up and chase him away, so she got busy and turned around to run, but she turned around in a hurry, tripped over a chair, staggered, and fell straight to the ground .Everyone laughed even more when they saw this. Mother Jia laughed and scolded the maids for not helping them.Seeing that no one was looking at him, Zhenyu smiled to Daiyu in a low voice: "Amitabha, this is now in people's eyes." Hearing this, Daiyu couldn't help laughing, pretended to cough, and covered herself with a handkerchief. Cover your mouth and snigger.Xue Die and Baochai both heard it, and they were not funny either. They hurriedly lowered their heads, turned around, and chatted to cover up.Only Baoyu hurried over to help Xiangyun up with Cuilu, and sat on the chair when he came back. His sisters all went up and looked at Xiangyun's face. Fortunately, they didn't break the skin, so they gradually stopped laughing. .Jia Muyin said: "Amitabha, you should also be careful. You are such a big man, but you can't stop being as stubborn as a child." The fan pendant is not as good as just now.

At that moment, Pearl came in from the outside and said with a smile, "Old lady, it's snowing outside." Mother Jia hurriedly said, "Just now when they came here, they saw that the sky was gloomy, as if it was about to fall, and it really did. Now. Is it falling too much now?" Zhu Zhen said: "There are two finger-thick snow on the ground, and there are snowflakes the size of goose feathers floating all over." Hearing this, the nurses and servant girls of his sisters hurried forward With a warning, they all went back to get their cloaks.Xiangyun then said, "Old lady, I'll go outside." Jia Mu said, "It's snowing outside here, and you didn't bring a snow jacket. How can you go out? It's better to talk to your sisters and sisters in the room in a gentle manner." " Xiangyun was willing to follow, acting coquettishly and foolishly pestering Jiamu, but Jiamu couldn't help it, so she had to say: "Amber go to the house and find a cloak for Yun girl to wear." Xiangyun became happy when he heard the words, and then Going in with Amber, Baoyu hurriedly said, "I'll go too." When Jia Mu felt tired, she ordered the maids to follow her and went to the room to rest.Tanchun also got excited when he heard the words, so he asked Cuimo to go back to get the clogs for walking on the snow. Yingchun said that it was cold, so he played chess with Xichun in the Nuan Pavilion. Yanyu asked Daiyu: "Would you like to go stubborn?" " Daiyu laughed and said, "Yun'er is like a savage, I don't want to be stubborn like him. I see that the snow is very interesting, so I might as well go for a stroll outside." Baochai also said yes.Xue Die and Yunyu were afraid that they would slip and fall, so when the servant girl came back to fetch the clothes, they followed them out.

Over there, Xiangyun followed Amber into the room, and Amber let Xiangyun sit on the bed, and went to open the box in the green gauze cabinet.Xiangyun was looking around, and suddenly saw Jia Mu's orangutan felt cloak on the chair, which was brand new, so he couldn't wait for Amber to find it, so he put it on quietly. After walking a few steps, he saw that it was too long. He took a sweat towel and tied it around the waist on the bed, and ran out.When Hu Po came back and saw no one, she knew that he couldn't wait to run away first, but she didn't know that he put on the cloak to go out, fearing that he would be drenched in the snow, so she hurriedly hugged the cloak she found and opened an umbrella to look for him.

Then there is the setting of how old men and women in the article need to avoid suspicion. According to some clues in Cao Gong’s original article, it is set at 15 years old for the time being.What I'm thinking at the moment is that after a few people start the poetry club twice, there will be no more content in the same place. The time is around the end of the imperial examination of Yun Yu and Xue Die, which is about the time when the two move out of Jia's mansion. 】
