The Red Chamber: Jia She Xiuxian Ji

Xiao Zhang suddenly realized that she had been married to Jia's family for many years, so she naturally knew the ability of that Uncle She, so she was not surprised immediately.

A lot of people have come to the banquet, and they are all admiring the flowers.Sharp-eyed people saw Jia's mother and her party walking in from the courtyard, and rushed forward one after another.

Princess Xining said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a long time, the old lady is still so young, and her body is still so strong."

As a woman, who doesn't like to hear that she is young?

Although Jia's mother is old, she is a woman first. After hearing this sentence, how could she not be elated?

Jia Mu smiled and said, "Aren't you the least fond of participating in these banquets? Why are you here today? Don't let anyone tell me when you come. I'll come here early so that you won't have to wait for the boss."

Princess Xining smiled and said: "It's just waiting for a while, why bother your old man's time. Besides, there are a lot of flowers here, and the flowers are blooming in full bloom. I like it very much. During the time when the old lady is not here, I had a good time watching it."

Jia's mother laughed loudly: "I understand, you are disliking my old man and hindering you from enjoying the flowers. See if I don't tear your mouth."

Everyone laughed when they heard it.

Princess Nan'an looked at the girls of the Jia family, and sighed: "I have heard that the girls in Rong Guogong's family are all excellent. I have seen one or two occasionally before, and they really deserve their reputation. It is not until today. It can be regarded as seeing the whole person. The old lady is really good at sex, and it is really wrong to treat these girls like water onions and prevent us from seeing them."

Jia Mu said: "You have wronged me. The girls are still young and very naughty. They are not big or small at home all day long. I am afraid that if I take them out and bump into you, it will be bad."

Princess Nan'an said: "I don't like to hear these words. Such a good girl, why did she offend us? The old lady is just talking nonsense."

She took Tanchun's hand and asked kindly, "Which family do you belong to? What's your name? How old are you?"

Tanchun was held by Princess Nan'an, not flustered, and introduced herself generously: "If you go back to Princess, my name is Jia Tanchun, and I am the second wife of Rongguo Mansion, ranking third, and I belong to the sheep."

When she heard that she was Jia Tanchun, Princess Nan'an's expression was a little strange, as if she had eaten a fly, she wanted to let go, and also heard that Jia Amnesty was also very fond of this niece, not because she was Jia Zheng's concubine. She was afraid that if she let go at this time, Jia She would be unhappy; if she didn't let go, everyone would know that the first and second house of the Rongguo Mansion had already separated, and Jia Zheng and Jia She had a bad relationship, so she didn't want to be with the Jia family's second house Get on good terms.

Princess Nan'an's complexion changed, Tanchun had noticed it a long time ago, she already knew why Princess Nan'an behaved like this, she just deliberately said that she was the second child of the Jia family.

Those people who always want to curry favor with the uncle through their children, have seen a lot of Tanchun, she doesn't want to make false claims with these people, and the right way is to draw a clear line with them early.

Except for Xue Baochai, the other girls all looked at Jia Tanchun. They didn't expect you to be such a third sister (third sister).

They don't want to deal with these people, okay? Originally, if Tanchun didn't reveal his identity, these people would guess and guess, because they were afraid of admitting the wrong person, they would be more restrained. Now it's good, they can directly exclude Baochai and Tanchun. It's out of the curry list.

Facing the sad eyes of the sisters, Tanchun shrugged his shoulders relaxedly, pretending not to see it, and dragged Xue Baochai aside to whisper.

It is a rare chrysanthemum banquet. It is too sad to just watch the chrysanthemums in the garden without preparing any activities.

Moreover, the key to the flower viewing feast is not the flowers, but the people. Everyone knows that this is a blind date banquet in disguise.

In order to leave an excellent impression on the future mother-in-law and sister-in-law, it is always necessary to show off your talents.These girls are all from aristocratic families, and they have no other skills. They have dabbled in both piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and maybe they are even proficient in one of them.

For example, Jia Yuanchun's piano, Jia Yingchun's chess, Jia Tanchun's calligraphy, Jia Xichun's painting, Lin Daiyu's talent for poetry, and Xue Baochai's poetry and painting.

Yesterday, Lin Daiyu made a request that when showing talent, she must make friends with poetry.

Previously, Mother Jia disagreed. After all, not everyone has a good level of poetry. It's just that Lin Daiyu was self-willed once in a while.

Last night, several girls gathered in the "Xiaoxiang Pavilion" to discuss today's poetry topic.

Lin Daiyu said: "Since we are feasting on chrysanthemums, let's write a seven-character verse with chrysanthemums as the theme!"

Xue Baochai pondered for a while, and said: "It would be too simple to just use chrysanthemum as the topic. Why don't we draw up several topics under the name of chrysanthemum, and let everyone choose what they are interested in writing, no rhyme is limited. Let's brainstorm and write ideas. Write the topic about chrysanthemums on red paper, and post it in the chrysanthemum courtyard tomorrow, and anyone who is interested can take off the topic and compose a poem."

Tanchun's eyes lit up: "That's a good idea."

Xue Baochai said with a smile: "When autumn comes, I remember the chrysanthemums at that time. It is called "Recalling Chrysanthemums". Afterwards, I will visit them and call them "Interviewing Chrysanthemums."

Lin Daiyu continued: "I can't visit it, I planted it, "Growing Chrysanthemums"."

Xichun clapped her hands and said: "It really is a very elegant thing, if it gets out, it may become a good story."

This idea is really novel and fun, which provoked all the sisters to agree, use their brains, write down all the topics that can be thought of about chrysanthemums, and let them post them in the chrysanthemum courtyard overnight.

When everyone came to the banquet, the first thing they saw was the garden full of chrysanthemums, and the second thing they saw was the titles of these chrysanthemum poems in black letters on a red background.

From "Recalling Chrysanthemums", "Visiting Chrysanthemums", "Planting Chrysanthemums", "Conversing Chrysanthemums", to "Giving Chrysanthemums", "Singing Chrysanthemums", "Painting Chrysanthemums", "Ask Chrysanthemums", and then to "Hairpin Chrysanthemums", " "Chrysanthemum Shadow", "Chrysanthemum Dream" and "Remnant Chrysanthemum" can be said to describe the whole life of chrysanthemum.

A girl who is very accomplished in poetry exclaimed: "What a chrysanthemum picture! Who came up with this idea? It's really amazing."

Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "This is not something that one person can think of. It's something we sisters brainstormed together."

Yingchun said: "Isn't it? Just because of these twelve chrysanthemum questions, we almost stayed up all night last night. Just thinking about these questions is really too difficult."

After Tanchun announced the rules, all the girls were amazed. They had never played this kind of game before, and they were all eager to try it.

Xue Baochai continued: "We only listed twelve topics last night, but we have a lot of people here. Everyone can choose one or two topics that they like to write, and the rhyme is not limited."

After taking a look at everyone, she added: "Sisters, if you have better topics and ideas, you can also write them. As long as the topics are related to chrysanthemums, you can."

A few girls who had nothing to gain in poetry asked unconvinced: "Sister Baochai, this is not fair, what should we do who don't know anything about poetry? Do you want to write too?"

Lin Daiyu smiled and said: "That's not the case. These chrysanthemum poems are just a joke. How can they be so strict? Sisters who are interested in writing poems can write according to these twelve chrysanthemum poems. If you are not interested, you can choose one." You can show yourself by showing yourself what you are interested in, whether it is painting chrysanthemums, or arranging flowers, or playing the piano, it is all okay."

Everyone laughed and made a fuss, and then separated, looking for people they knew or wanted to know, and got together to connect with each other.

Lin Daiyu walked to the small lake with the fish food, and fed the fish one after another. As the fish food was thrown in, the koi in the small lake jumped out of the water one after another, scrambling for the fish food.

Xue Baochai walked up to her and sat down, staring at the koi in the lake, and suddenly said: "If sister Xiangyun can come, today's chrysanthemum poetry meeting will definitely be more exciting."

Lin Daiyu remained silent, and said after a while: "Who would have thought that she and Baoyu's cousin would be pregnant just two months after they got married?"

Whenever she thinks of this, Lin Daiyu can't help but sigh a little. She is the same age as Shi Xiangyun and Jia Tanchun. Being pregnant and about to become a mother is really an impermanent world.

Xue Baochai said with a smile: "If it wasn't for worshiping the prince as a teacher and opening up another world, we at this time, I'm afraid we should also see him."

Or maybe, she's already married.

Daiyu nodded: "Indeed. However, with the deepening of cultivation, I can feel more and more that if the uncle and the uncle of the prince are not there, we people may not die well. Don't talk about getting married, can we keep it safe?" Destiny is all unknown.”

Remembering that when they were still young, they were both sentenced to an unholy death by that monk together, the two of them looked at each other and shivered involuntarily.

In order to make an excellent impression on the elders, the girls tried their best to show their best side.

The crabs have been steamed, and a servant girl picked them out of the cage, put them on a plate, and put them on the table where the sauce and chrysanthemum wine had been placed.

Tanchun hurriedly greeted everyone and hurried over to eat crabs.

Lin Daiyu asked the maid: "Have the old lady and the other ladies prepared it?"

The maid nodded: "Of course it is prepared."

Lin Daiyu asked again: "Where is uncle? Have you prepared it?"

The maid said: "It's all ready."

Lin Daiyu nodded, "That's good."

Princess Xining was a little surprised when she saw the crabs served: "Oh, what a big crab, this is really rare."

Wang Xifeng was peeling crab shells for Jiamu, so busy that she didn't even eat a bite of meat.

Hearing the words of Princess Xining at this time, he quickly smiled and said: "This is sent by the clerk of Xue's sister's family. The clerk's family is very good at raising crabs. This year's harvest is good, and the crab harvest is abundant. I sent a lot of crabs."

Princess Xining nodded, no wonder.
