The Red Chamber is not a dream

[No.60 Seven Chapters] It is difficult to start a club with friends when you are free. Yi Chenghuan is passed on in autumn

Fast forward to September.Nowadays, most of the affairs in the mansion are taken care of by Sister Feng. Tanchun can take a break to breathe. Let's just take care of the affairs in his own hands. After stealing a few days of leisure, he wants to have a fight with all the sisters; The servant girl took a pen and paper to write a few posts, and taught people to send them around.When the book came to Lixiangyuan with the flower paper, I saw Daiyu talking with Aunt Xue, Baochai and others. She hurriedly smiled and saluted, and said, "Please, auntie. Our girl taught me to join Miss Bao and Miss Lin. Come and post a post." Because of some business at Baoqin's house the day before yesterday, someone came to pick him up, and now only Baochai and Daiyu are here; upon hearing this, Baochai took the post from him and unfolded it. Lai and Daiyu had a look, and then smiled and said, "Your girl is an elegant person; if that's the case, please go and tell the third girl that my sister and I will be there soon."

After waiting for the book to go out, the two of his sisters told Aunt Xue, went back to the room and changed their clothes, and then came to Tanchun's place. Yingchun, Xichun and Li Wan were already there; Tan Chunnai smiled and said, "Sure enough, my idea is not bad. Since nothing happened these few days, I came up with the idea and wrote a few posts to invite you, but all of you came; in this case, let's start this poetry club." Come on." Li Wan was not good at poetry. Seeing that Tanchun was interested, but he didn't like to brush him off, he could only smile and said, "I see the elegance of the third sister. It's just that I can't do better than this poetry; why don't I help you out?" Rise up and be the head of the altar. If you have what you can do, do it to the best of your ability."

I don't like to do anything to welcome the spring and cherish the spring. Kuang thought that it would be difficult to compete with Xue and Lin. They both laughed and said, "We can't, let alone the two of us." Seeing the excitement of Tanchun, he said: "That's it. But I am too old, so everyone must listen to me; when we start a club, we have to let the three of us who don't know poetry go, and then I will judge for you. If there is an easier topic, it will not be too late for us to do it." Yingchun Xichun heard Li Wan's words, and they all agreed.Seeing this, Tanchun couldn't be stronger. Seeing that Baochai and Daiyu had nothing to say, he smiled and said, "It's only the three of us. What's the fun? But those few have gone home again, Lian Yun'er I'm not there either, why don't we just wait until everyone is ready." Then they chatted and laughed for a while, and then dispersed.

In this way, it will be the Double Ninth Festival every few days; Jiamu has been a little sleepy since Baoyu left, but now it is the festive season, but she is in a state of mind, and she has to go around to fetch people; it's just that Xiuyan's mother is ill, and Li Wen and Li Qi went to visit his aunt's house again; Baoqin's house also had something to do, so it was hard to come, only Xiangyun came.The day before Tanchun mentioned writing a poem, seeing that everyone was not very interested, he also calmed down, and seeing that none of the four of them came here, he put aside the matter of starting a society, and just talked and laughed as usual.So that day, there were only a few tables of banquets in the house, and everyone ate, and there was nothing else to say.

When he returned to his room, Baochai smiled at Daiyu and said, "Look at girl Yun, she really has a big heart. When I saw you today, it's the same as nothing." Daiyu laughed and said, "What he said that day It turned out to be unintentional. I know his temperament, but I shouldn't say that about me. I don't remember where I offended him. Is this actor used to compare others? I'm not angry with him, I'm just too lazy to treat my colleagues When he speaks, if he listens to a few unintentional words from him, he will not make himself unhappy." Baochai heard that it was difficult to say anything, but she thought to herself: "Now that Yun'er is talking about Miss Lin, it's hard to guarantee that she won't say it in the future. Others; although she is straightforward, it is not of any benefit. Miss Lin is usually 'expression of joy and anger', but she has never talked to him in such a way that it makes people feel uncomfortable." While thinking about it, Daiyu laughed and said: "Speaking of this, I recalled something my brother told me the day before yesterday. He said that the emperor of one dynasty liked to listen to operas, and one of the actors played the role of the governor of Changzhou. If you like it, teach him to come and ask questions. Who knew that the actor was forgetful, so he asked the former emperor, who is the governor of Changzhou now? The emperor was furious, saying that he was contemptuous of the ordering officer, and immediately ordered someone to stick him to death. It's an anecdote from the previous dynasty, I don't know if it's true or not, but I can see that this statement should not be said indiscriminately."

When Baochai heard the words, he sighed with emotion, and said, "Sure enough, misfortune comes from the mouth. It can be seen that there are things that cannot be said." Since he is good with Daiyu, seeing that Daiyu doesn't like Xiangyun, naturally he won't say anything. , Nai intentionally diverted the conversation and said: "I have a charter to discuss with you. Mom just said the day before yesterday that she wanted to borrow this place in the mansion from the old lady, and invite the people here to eat crabs. Teach me how to do it; you can help me make an idea." How are you?"

When Daiyu heard Baochai's words, she laughed and said, "You are an old man, so just ask me. I don't know anything, so I'm just waiting for you to invite me to eat." Baochai laughed, Yin pushed him and said: "It's so easy to be lazy, but you are more lazy than me. Seriously, let's have a discussion. We will have a table in a few days, and we will choose the biggest one to eat with you." Daiyu laughed and said, "If I don't discuss with you, why don't you give me something to eat?" The two laughed at each other again, and Fang Yu drew up an idea under the lamp, and told Aunt Xue the next day, teaching people to go to the farm I want a few baskets of huge crabs. After dinner tomorrow, I will invite Mother Jia and Mrs. Xing to enjoy the sweet-scented osmanthus.I was speechless for a while.

Tomorrow, Baochai went to invite Jia Mu. When they heard the words, they all said they were disturbing, so they all came to the back garden and sat on a pavilion. Sure enough, it was Bao girl who thought of it, and there is nothing wrong with it." Baochai laughed and said, "I dare not take credit for it. This is Sister Lin's idea, and she helped me prepare it." At that moment, Aunt Xue came, and Mrs. Xing was there. Jia Mu sat down sideways and said some homely words; Sister Feng and Li Wan were busy teaching people to set tables and cups, and Baochai and Daiyu also got up to help people. Sister Feng smiled and said, "You guys Sit down quickly, there is me and sister-in-law." Hearing this, the two refused to sit down, so they moved to the table of the sisters.

When Jia Mu saw Baochai and Daiyu's affection, she smiled at Aunt Xue and said, "Look at them, the only ones who don't know are their relatives and sisters; our girl Lin has become a member of your family." Aunt Xue laughed. Said: "Bao'er and his younger sister Lin are good friends. Last night, they invited her here. They said that Qin'er was not here, and he was in a hurry all by himself. He might have to teach Lin girl to suffer." Jia Mu said, "The words there. You always Riyuan loves him; Bao girl made a pact with him again, and taught him to help you out, what are you afraid of?" Mrs. Xing smiled and said: "Exactly, I used to see my niece and daughter quiet, but now it seems that But she is also capable." Sister Feng was asking someone to bring steamed crabs, and she laughed and said, "Listen, we don't care about anyone anymore. We usually serve the old lady, and I am not as good as my sister-in-law. People?" When Jia Mu heard what he said, she laughed and said, "You are good too, but you are not as good as your two younger sisters." Sister Feng laughed and said, "But I know myself, so I dare not compare myself to my two younger sisters; I just want to be old." Wife sees how well I serve you, give me some crab legs later!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone burst into laughter.Jia's mother couldn't help laughing, because she said: "Your mother-in-law is used to you monkey. You are used to talking, but now you are asking for food." Aunt Xue laughed and said, "He used to rely on the old lady to be with you." The eldest wife dares to do this because she loves him; if it were me, he would not even eat the crab shells." While talking and laughing, she had seen someone bring two plates of crabs, and Sister Feng stood in front of Jia Mu to peel the crab meat.Seeing him like this, Aunt Xue said, "You can just peel it for the old lady. I love eating by myself." Mrs. Xing also smiled and said: "Exactly, you only serve the old lady. Look at how well you serve." Well, I will keep your legs here as well." Mother Jia laughed even more.When Sister Feng was able to peel it off, she gave it to Jia Mu; and someone boiled chrysanthemum wine and brought it up, and shared it with everyone.

Over there, Baochai and Daiyu sat shoulder to shoulder at the sisters' table.Baochai smiled quietly at Daiyu when she was free, "This stuff is cold in nature, you should eat less, because it will make your stomach and intestines feel uncomfortable." Then he ordered the little maid to boil the wine and said, "Put more ginger vinegar and drink it again." Eat; just eat for a while, at least drink two glasses of wine to suppress the cold." Daiyu said with a smile: "Now you have also learned from your aunt, and I will take care of my actions." Baochai laughed and said: "Since that's the case, I won't take care of you tomorrow." Daiyu said with a hasty smile, "I never said you didn't manage well. I just listen to what you say." As she spoke, she put the clip in her hand Break it open, carefully remove the outer shell, and seeing that the meat is intact, he smiled and said, "This one is good." As he handed it to Baochai, Baochai smiled, ate it with his hands, and picked another one from the plate. The navel said to him: "This is good, you break this one to see." Daiyu opened it according to her words, and she saw that it was full of yellow, and said with a smile: "After all, it is my sister, you can see it through the shell. Baochai laughed and said, "Don't talk too much. You don't even stop your mouth when you eat. If you pour the wind carefully, your stomach will hurt."

Aunt Xue looked at the other side and smiled when she saw the closeness between the two of them.Cha Jia's mother also looked this way, and when she saw this, she smiled at Aunt Xue and said, "Sure enough, these two children are better than others, but it's a pity that they are both daughters, otherwise they must be married." Yan Xiao said: "The old lady only loves to be a matchmaker, but now she is on the heads of Sister Bao and Sister Lin." Jia Mu said with a smile: "Although it is a naughty word, I can see that these two children are very good; Our daughters are incomparable." Aunt Xue laughed quickly and said, "That's what the old lady is talking about. The second girl and the others are all good; Bao'er is only like this in front of people, and she is also naughty at home, so it's not as good as him A few younger sisters." Talking for a while, Jia Mu finished eating, asked someone to fetch water to wash her hands, ordered the remnants of the table to be removed, and brought some wine and fruit, and everyone sat and laughed for a while before they all dispersed.

Mrs. Xing saw that Jia's mother had gone, so she smiled quietly to Aunt Xue: "Is there any crabs over there? I saw that Feng girl had never eaten them raw, and he likes to eat them; if there are any." I'll take a few back and keep him for a while." Hearing this, Aunt Xue hurriedly ordered someone to pick out two huge plates, and asked someone to hold them for Mrs. Xing, and sent them all the way back to the room.So I watched the people clean up the broken table, and they all scattered, and there was nothing else to say.
