The Hairpin of the Red Chamber

At that time, Wang Er had already arranged all the things that were distributed to everyone, so Baochai sent people to Jia's mansion one by one.Besides presents, Daiyu also had things from Lin Hai. Baochai picked out some appetizing vegetables, fruits and side dishes, sealed them into a box, and put them in a cage sent by Lin Hai, and asked Daiyu to look at them before sending them over.

Baochai spent an afternoon reading books with Daiyu at Daiyu's place yesterday, but today it was Daiyu who talked about the ancients in Baochai's room and asked about the book club in detail.

This book club was originally based on Baochai seeing that the sisters were bored in summer, and it was based on the previous poetry club. Because everyone is still young and the rhythm is not ready, the poems may not be able to be handed out. Moreover, it is also to use reading to satirize the sisters, or Teach them some economic affairs, so I am quite interested.After discussing it properly with Daiyu, I sent someone to report to Aunt Xue and Sister Feng. Sister Feng sent someone to reply: "Our grandma said that this is a very good move. If it is done well, she will follow the girls next time and cook a meal." Club, the big guys have a lively meal together, then run a wine club, everyone drinks together, and then run a sleeping club, everyone sleeps together..."

Before he finished speaking, he laughed Daiyu down on the couch, pulled Baochai's sleeve and said, "Sister Bao, look, everyone is laughing at you."

Baochai hurriedly grabbed her hand, lest she accidentally fall on the wall, Fang smiled and told the people: "Sister Feng can do whatever club she likes, anyway, I just need to start a book club."

Daiyu laughed so hard that she couldn't speak, so she could only point to Nanny Wang.Grandma Wang was old and dazzled, and she didn't know why. Baochai had already reacted, and reached out to rub her stomach. It took a while for Daiyu to get up. As soon as she said the word "Book Club", she started laughing again, and fell on Baochai's legs. On the next day, Baochai hugged her and continued rubbing her stomach for a while, Daiyu squinted her eyes and felt very comfortable, she refused to get up, but Baochai stared at her and started laughing again.

Baochai said angrily, "Have you been poisoned by the laughing poison, or have you been haunted by the laughing demon?"

Daiyu said with a smile, "I don't know why, but when I see Sister Bao, I feel very fond of laughing." Sitting upright, she took Baochai's hand and said, "Sister Bao, I'm sleepy, why don't you and I get married for now?" How about a 'sleeping club'?" After speaking, he laughed again, Baochai gave him another look, pushed him onto the bed and said, "Sleep with you!"

---Sleepy Separation Line---

The day of the bookstore came quickly, but Daiyu and Sanchun were not the only ones who came. The first Li Wan was the sister-in-law, and Jiamu usually liked her to lead these unmarried girls. When she heard the news, she came to recommend the club. Baochai has nothing to do; another Baoyu, because Jia Zheng has been busy with official duties recently, has no time to take care of him, and Qin Zhong has a lot of friends in the school, so he sneaks back early to join in the fun; and there is Aunt Xue, where Xiangling has always been a The one who is eager to learn also asks Aunt Xue to come over and help Baochai.

When Daiyu first discussed with Baochai, she said: "It's okay in summer. Everyone will come if they hear something interesting. Why don't we clean up a small hall, put a big table, put an iceberg under it, and let's eat snacks and play around?" that is."

Baochai nodded and said yes, and asked someone to set it up in the side hall, with a large basin of ice under the table, and some snacks and fruit plates on the table, but on the four corners of the table, there were some ice sculptures of small landscapes, and crushed iced melons and fruits, which are beautiful , and cool, just estimating where Daiyu would sit, and deliberately moved those cold foods farther away.

Unexpectedly, everyone came together in the early morning, and after ordering the seats, Daiyu pulled Tanchun and said, "Sister, I have something to tell you." Yang Yingchun changed her position, and after such a move, Baochai sat next to her. Li Wan and Yingchun, Daiyu sat down next to Baoyu, the next head.

Baochai was able to get along with anyone in her previous life, but this time, I don't know if she had a close relationship with Daiyu or Baoyu, her love and hatred became a little clearer, seeing Li Wan beside her, she felt a little uncomfortable, so she said a few words with a smile Well, Li Wan is a widow, Zuo just talked about keeping the widows in good order and raising orphans and widows, and suggested that the big guys should read "Four Books for Women".

Baoyu was eating watermelon, and when he heard the title of the book, he choked up, and said with a smile, "It's called a book club, but it's just for everyone to play together. Those books on rules should be kept for homework."

Yingchun said: "For people like us, it's good to know a few words. We don't want to be profound. If we say it's reading, in fact, as long as we don't open our eyes and go blind, we don't want to understand deeply."

Tanchun also smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, we are restrained enough, let us play here for a while."

Du Daiyu didn't speak, but Baochai was quite surprised to see her not showing her head, and glanced at her, only to see Daiyu busy eating ice cream—it was hot, so Baochai asked someone to prepare a bowl of ice cream. Sherbet, crushed ice, sherbet, honeydew, seasonal fruits and vegetables, cheese, etc., are packed into colorful bowls and served in white porcelain bowls, which look more crystal clear and attractive. Baochai took care of her, and when the food arrived, she hurriedly dug it with a small spoon and ate it bite by bite.

Baochai had already prepared for her to use a portion, but she didn't stop in a hurry, it was just funny, so she kicked her again, to signal her to eat slowly, and then looked at Li Wan, who could only laugh when he saw that everyone was talking about it. He said: "Reading "Nv Commandments" is not about going up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire. How can you say it is so pitiful?" Although he was disconcerted, he refused to change it, so he said: "After all, it is Miss Bao who started the society, so why don't you ask her Meaning is good."

Everyone looked at Baochai eagerly again, and Daiyu took a little time out of her busy schedule to look at Baochai, fearing that today it would really become a "Four Books for Women" school, and it was too hot to be lazy, and she promised to stay for another day. Yes, won't it be bitter then?

Baochai thought about it for a while, and said with a smile: "Although books such as "Nv Commandment" and "Internal Training" are good, after all, I spend a lot of time studying on weekdays. Besides, Baoyu is here, so why not just find some articles at will, and everyone can learn from them. Brother Yu Bao also benefits from recognizing allusions."

Baoyu heard that the signs were not good, and was about to get up when Daiyu kicked her and sat down again.As long as Tanchun and others don't have women's virtues, they don't open their mouths. Li Wan, as long as he is serious and knowledgeable, he asked again: "However, there are so many crafts nowadays, how do we choose the essays?"

Baochai said: "When I came to Beijing, I heard from my brother that there was a copy of "Guwen Guanzhi" at home. It was an excellent book on policy and theory, so I took this one."

Li Wan nodded, Baochai had asked someone to bring the books, and Li Wan was in charge of the society, so she was the one to choose. Li Wan saw that there were many allusions involved, but he didn't recognize them, so he chose an "Jin Xue Jie" by name .

Baoyu sat with her head bowed, bored to eat ice cream, and then picked up the silver spoon. Seeing that Daiyu's bowl had been used up, she pushed her own bowl over and said, "I still have this."

Baochai's eyes widened and she looked at Daiyu. Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled, pushed away Baoyu's bowl and said, "I'm tired of eating too much, so I won't eat."

Baoyu didn't even bother to use snacks, but just sighed briefly, feeling that no one understood him. Daiyu knew what happened when she saw his appearance, and she went over to her ear and said, "Why are you sighing?"

Baoyu whispered, "Don't you know what's on my mind?"

Daiyu laughed and said, "If you don't tell me, how would I know?"

Seeing her like this, Baoyu broke out in a daze, and sighed: "Come on, come on, I thought you were different from them, but you are the same."

Daiyu sneered and said: "You are nothing more than the three characters of "Jin Xue Jie". Thanks to you, you still think you have a wide range of miscellaneous studies. , just put on a face. But I don’t know that this article is actually not the words of ordinary officials. How is your arrogance different from the self-righteous people in the world?"

Baoyu said awkwardly, "When did I say that I collected miscellaneous studies?" Then he said, "I didn't say or listen."

Daiyu just sneered.

Baochai sees Baoyu and Daiyu lowering their heads and chatting endlessly from a distance, even ignoring Li Wan's recitation of poems and prose. After reading the article calmly, he shook the fan on his hand and said, "Xiaoer, your hair is so smooth."

When Daiyu heard the words, she quickly turned her head to let Baoyu see. How could Baoyu understand such things?Just in a hurry, Tanchun got up again and went to Li Wan's side.Baochai got up and took her to the dressing table in the inner room to recomb her hair. When she came out, she sat down on her seat, poked her head to look at the book in Li Wan's hand, and said, "There are many things I don't like. Understood, are there notes in the book?"

Li Wan and Yingchun Tanchun Baoyu sat around and read carefully, without raising their heads, they said: "I didn't see it."

Baochai hummed, and seeing that everyone moved to Li Wan's side, she sat down beside Daiyu, held her hand and said, "Sister Lin, you usually read a lot of books, but have you read this one?"

Daiyu shook her head and said, "No." Baoyu looked up in surprise and said, "Didn't you say you read it?"

Daiyu smiled and said, "When did I say I've read it?"

Baoyu said: "You said this article is not the words of ordinary officials."

Daiyu said: "Han Changli has been depressed all his life, and his words are so infuriating. How can his articles be the words of ordinary officials? I am just inferring with common sense."

Baoyu knew that she had teased her, and sat sullenly. Baochai poked Daiyu's face and said in a low voice, "You are a narrow ghost."

Daiyu stuck out her tongue at her, it was really cute.

Li Wan originally intended to encourage learning and progress, but he chose an article that was full of ambitions and ambitions. After reading it once, he was already a little touched. The three should be interpreted as serious articles, Xichun said: "It turns out that 'proficiency in industry and industriousness in play' came from here."

Yingchun said: "I've always heard about Han Changli's name, but after reading his article today, I realize that his reputation is indeed well-deserved."

But Tanchun said: "It's just a feeling of being a sour scholar who has no ambition. I think the word 'Guanzhi' is a bit too high."

Li Wan said: "You don't understand, this is the masterpiece of the sages, and the way is full of the world."

Seeing what she said, Tanchun stopped talking, but everyone was a little disappointed, and the room fell silent for a while, no one made a sound.
