[Red Chamber] I became Lin Daiyu in my rebirth

Jia Zheng was very happy today, he never thought that Daiyu would get a marriage from Kangxi, and even gave it to his son, what an honor it must be!And today, Yinzhen was actually the emperor's favorite fourth elder brother who came to announce the decree, plus a group of elder brothers and county kings all came to celebrate Daiyu's birth, it can be seen that Yinxiang attaches great importance to Daiyu.Now, sister Min should also rest in peace in heaven.

For a while, Jia's mansion became more and more lively because of the arrival of Yinzhen and other elder brothers.Whether it is Mrs. Jia Zhengwang or the servants below, they all look radiant because of this supreme honor.

After lunch, Yinxiang and Baoyu looked at each other and smiled.Then Yinxiang leaned into Daiyu's ear and said, "Yu'er, I have prepared a birthday present for you. Do you want to see it alone, or do we all go together?"

Daiyu looked at Baoyu Baochai and the others, as well as Yinzhen Yinhu Beijing Wang Dongping. Although they all saw Yinxiang's face, they all came for her birthday. If she was alone with Yinxiang like this It's really not good to go out.He smiled and said, "Let's all go together."

Yinxiang nodded and smiled, stood up and told everyone, everyone was curious about what gift Yinxiang had prepared.

After Yinxiang finished speaking, he took everyone to another place.

Walking through the long corridor, at the corner, the beautiful scenery that appeared in the eyes of everyone couldn't help but let everyone who saw it take a deep breath.

It turned out that this is a huge pond.When Daiyu came to visit a few days ago, the pond was just a pool of stagnant water, with nothing in it, quiet and without waves.

But the scene in front of her now made Daiyu speechless in shock.

Now the pond is full of lotus flowers in full bloom.

I saw the lotus in the lake in full bloom.Most of the lotus flowers have been fully opened, and there are many pink ones, which stand gracefully and radiantly under the sunshine.The lotus leaves are green and green, like a big umbrella, stretching out to the sky layer upon layer.In the afternoon sun, the green lotus leaves set off the pink lotus, which looks like a beautiful watercolor painting.When you approach the pool, you can still smell a fresh fragrance, and you will feel refreshed after taking a sip.Under the blowing of the wind, the lotus leaves make a "rustling" sound, which is refreshing.There are lotus pods growing in the middle of some lotus flowers, and there are fresh and tender lotus seeds hidden in the green lotus pods, which are fresh and delicious, with a burst of fragrance.

It is not the season for lotus flowers to bloom now, but the lotus flowers in the pond are in full bloom, which really corresponds to the poem: the lotus leaves are infinitely blue in the sky, and the lotus flowers are red in the sun.

Daiyu couldn't help thinking of the prose by Zhu Ziqing that she had learned before: "On the zigzag lotus pond, there are fields of leaves. Dotted with white flowers, some are open gracefully, some are holding their petals shyly; just like pearls, like stars in the blue sky, or like beauties just out of bath. Wisps of fragrance are coming, like faint singing from a tall building in the distance. At this time, the leaves and flowers also tremble a little, like lightning, and instantly spread across the lotus pond..." The scene in front of me is simply that. This is the truest portrayal of the scenery described in this essay.

Daiyu got too many surprises today, and now she was so shocked that she couldn't speak. When she looked up, she saw Yinxiang was looking at her with a smile, and said softly, "Do you like it?"

Daiyu nodded again and again, "Yeah, I'm so happy! It's so beautiful, how do you know I like this lotus the most?"

Yinxiang chuckled, "Of course I know."

"Now is not the season for lotus flowers to bloom, but how did you get this?" Daiyu asked her own question while being excited.

Daiyu's question simply spoke out from the hearts of everyone.Brother Ten was shocked and admiring, and quickly asked, "Yes, Brother Thirteen, how did you do this? This is too amazing!"

Yinxiang glanced at Yinzhen and the others, seeing that they all looked like they were waiting for his answer, he couldn't help laughing: "It's nothing, I just came up with an idea, and I would like to thank Baoyu for helping me here. "

Yinzhen was the most impatient, so he hurriedly asked Baoyu, "Baoyu, tell us quickly."

Seeing that everyone was looking at him expectantly, Baoyu laughed quickly and said, "It was Brother Thirteen's idea. He had someone plant lotus roots in this pond a month ago, and then brought them in from the back mountain. The living water in the hot spring, and then the lotus root buried under the pool gradually sprouted in the warm water..."

After Baoyu finished speaking, Song Lanyu still had that coquettish smile on her face, waving her gold-painted fan casually, and smiled at King Beijing: "This is indeed the idea of ​​Brother Thirteen. many."

King Beijing nodded with a smile, looked at Yinxiang and said with a smile: "It's really hard for you to think of such a clever idea! I admire you so much!" He bowed his hands to Yinxiang.

Yinxiang smiled softly, "This is not a big deal, brother Shui is too famous!"

Song Lanyu smiled frivolously, "Of course it's not a big deal. A man in love is always more sensitive than us." After finishing speaking, everyone couldn't help laughing.

Elder Brother Ten also booed from the sidelines, "That's a good point! Thirteenth Brother can think of any good way for Miss Lin."

"Hey, tenth brother, it seems that we are really heroes who see the same thing!" Yinzhen also joked.

Daiyu was deeply moved when she heard what they said, but she couldn't help but blush after hearing the words of the tenth and fourteenth elder brothers.

Yinxiang looked at Daiyu a little shy, and couldn't help laughing: "Tenth Brother, Fourteenth Brother, stop talking!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as this remark came out, it even provoked the narrow jokes of the tenth and fourteenth elder brothers.

"Hey, by the way, Brother Thirteen, since Huang Ama's gift of marriage has come down, when will you treat us all to a wedding wine?" This was Yinzhen's voice.

Song Lanyu coughed and coughed twice, held back her smile and said, "Brother Fourteen really spoke our minds. Speaking of which, the few of us, that is, you and Brother Fourteen, and Brother Shui are not married. Already!"

Yinxiang looked at Daiyu tenderly, and said with a smile: "Since this is an established matter, I naturally want the sooner the better. But I respect Yu'er's wishes."

Seeing Yinxiang and Daiyu's tacit understanding and affection, everyone present was both envious and blessed.Yinzhen took a look at Yinhu, and found that Yinhu was looking at him and smiling, so he couldn't help but put on a gentle smile. "They're such a good match."

Yinhu smiled and nodded, not knowing whether it was on purpose or not, he said with a smile: "Fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law are also very good match."

Yinzhen was taken aback for a moment, looking at Yinhu with a trace of imperceptible search in his eyes, "Really, I don't think so."

Yinhu was surprised, "Oh? How do you say that?"

Yinzhen said with a serious face: "I think I am a perfect match for someone. In this life, I don't think I will find anyone who is so suitable for me."

Yinhu smiled when he heard the words, and didn't ask any more questions, just focused on watching everyone teasing Yinxiang and Daiyu.

"Eighth brother, your ears are red."

"..."

This is really the happiest day Daiyu has ever felt in her life.I just heard the good news about Lin Ruhai a few days ago, and today I received the imperial decree of marriage from Kangxi on my birthday.The sisters around me are still together, every day is so happy, is there anything more happy than this?

The days passed like this.The years are quiet and good, and the fleeting years are stable.

Daiyu still read books or talked and laughed with Baochai and Yingchun sisters in their spare time.Since Baoyu had said those words to Daiyu that day, he would take some time every day to go with Jia Lian to see the construction of the mother-in-law's villa, and learned a lot.When Jia Zheng saw that Baoyu was becoming more and more sensible, he couldn't help but feel very relieved, and the relationship between father and son became deeper and deeper.

This day, Jia Zhen waited for Jia Zheng: "The construction in the garden has been completed, and the elder has already seen it. We just wait for the master to see it. If there is something wrong, we can renovate it and write a couplet on the plaque."

Jia Zheng listened, pondered for a while, and said, "It's a difficult thing to match this plaque. To discuss the ceremony, you should ask the noble concubine to give the title. However, if the noble concubine does not see the scenery in person, it is difficult to draw up. If you wait until the noble concubine is lucky enough to do it Please ask, if there is a big scene, several pavilions and pavilions, no titles, even flowers and willows, mountains and rivers, it will definitely not be colorful." All the guests laughed and replied: "The old man saw it very well. Now we have an idea : Plaques everywhere are indispensable and indeterminate. Now, according to the scenery, or two characters, three characters, or four characters, they have been drafted according to their meaning. For the time being, we will make couplets on lamp plaques and hang them. When the imperial concubine is lucky enough to travel , and then please name it, wouldn’t it be the best of both worlds?”

After hearing this, Jia Zheng said, "What you see is not bad. Let's take a look today, just write the questions, and use them if they are appropriate; if they are not, please invite Yucun to make him draw up again." They laughed and said, "Master, today Once the plan is ready, why wait for Yucun again."

Jia Zheng said with a smile: "You don't know: I have been mediocre since I was a child in the poetry of flowers, birds and landscapes. Now that I am old and have trouble with paperwork, I am even more unfamiliar with this pleasant article. It is also pedantic to draw it up. On the contrary, the Hualiu Garden Pavilion will lose its color and become boring."

All the guests said: "It doesn't matter. We all read the public plan, and each has its own strengths. If the good ones are kept, the bad ones will be deleted. It's not impossible." Nuan, let's go for a stroll." Saying that, she got up and led everyone to go.Jia Zhen went to the garden to inform the meeting first.

Unexpectedly, Baoyu happened to be at the gate of the garden at this time, and met Jia Zheng leading all the guests to visit the garden.Baoyu hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said, "I have seen my father."

Jia Zheng nodded and said, "You're here too. Well, come with us into the garden and have a look."

Baoyu nodded and followed Jia Zheng to the garden.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw Jia Zhen leading many deacons standing beside him.Jia Zheng said, "close the gate of the garden. Let's look outside first, and then go in to have a look." Jia Zhen agreed, and hurriedly ordered the gate to be closed.

Jia Zheng first looked at the door, and saw five main doors, with tiles and loach ridges on the top, and the door bars, windows and bars were all finely carved with new patterns, without vermilion powder coating.The walls are polished with one color of water, and the white stone steps below are chiseled into the shape of passionflower.Looking left and right, you can see the snow-white powder wall, and the tiger-skin stone below it is textured, which is not gorgeous and clichéd, so I like it.So he ordered to open the door and go in.I saw a green peak in front of me.All the guests said: "Good mountain, good mountain!" Jia Zheng said, "It's not this mountain. Once you enter the garden and see all the scenery in your eyes, what's more interesting?"

Everyone said: "Extremely true. If you don't have a lot of hills and valleys in your chest, how can you think of this place." After finishing speaking, they looked forward and saw white stone caves standing vertically and horizontally like ghosts or beasts.Mottled with moss, or shaded by vines, which reveal a small path.

Jia Zheng said: "Let's swim from this path, come back and go out from the other side, so that we can have a full view."

After finishing speaking, he ordered Jia Zhen to lead the way, helped Baoyu himself, and meandered into the mountain pass.Looking up, I suddenly saw a mirror-faced white stone on the mountain, which was the place where the inscription was left.Jia Zheng turned back and smiled and said, "Look, gentlemen, what is the name of Fangmiao here?" Everyone heard that some people said that the title was "Diecui", some said that the title was "Jinzhang", and others said There are more than dozens of people who say "Saixianglu" and "Xiao Zhongnan".It turns out that all the guests knew that Jia Zheng was going to test Baoyu's talent, so they just perfunctory with some clichés.Baoyu also knew this.

When Jia Zheng heard this, he turned around and ordered Baoyu to come.Baoyu said: "I have heard the ancients say: 'It is better to write the new than to tell the old, and to engrave the old is worse than to carve the present. The old saying 'The winding path leads to the secluded' is very generous." After hearing this, everyone praised: "Excellent, excellent! Brother II is highly talented and far-sighted, unlike us who have read rotten books." Jia Zheng said with a smile, "I shouldn't praise him too much. He's young, but he's just making fun of him. We'll wait for the selection."

As he said, he entered the cave, and saw beautiful trees and flowers blooming in full bloom, and a clear stream flowing from the depths of the flowers and trees under the rock gap.After a few more steps, it gradually goes to the north, flat and wide, with flying buildings on both sides inserted into the air, and carved and embroidered thresholds, all hidden among the trees in the depression.Looking down, you can see the green river flowing down the jade, the stone platform piercing the clouds, the white stone as a fence, surrounding the pond, the stone bridge and three ports, and the beast face.There is a pavilion on the bridge. Jia Zheng and others sat in the pavilion and asked, "Why do you ask this?" Everyone said: "Ouyang Gong's "Drunken Man's Pavilion" said: "There is a pavilion with wings like ’, let’s call it ‘Yiran’.” Jia Zheng said with a smile: “Although ‘Yiran’ is good, but this pavilion was made by pressing water, it must be named after water. According to my clumsiness, Ouyang Gong’s sentence: 'Between the two peaks', he actually used the word 'Xie'." A guest said, "It's extreme, it's extreme. It's the word 'Xieyu'."

Jia Zheng had to think about it, because he asked Baoyu to come up with one.Baoyu replied: "What the master said just now is true. But now that we have investigated it, it seems that it was appropriate for Ouyang Gong to use the word "Xie" for brewing springs that day, and it seems inappropriate to use the word "Xie" for this spring today. What's more. Since it is a family-visiting villa, it should also be in accordance with the style of the system. It seems crude and indecent to use such words. Please try to be subtle." Jia Zheng said with a smile: "How do you listen to this argument, gentlemen? Just now everyone compiled a new one. You say 'it's better to describe the ancients'; now we describe the ancients, and you say it's rough and inappropriate. You talk about yourself." Baoyu said: "Using the word 'Xieyu' is not as good as the word 'Qinfang', isn't it? Xinya?"

Jia Zheng nodded and said nothing.Everyone is busy catering to Baoyu, praising Baoyu's extraordinary talent.Jia Zhengdao: "It's easy to put two characters on the plaque. Then make a pair of seven characters." Baoyu looked around, came to his mind, and read: "Borrow three punt poles from willows around the embankment, and the flowers on the other side share a vein of fragrance."

Jia Zheng listened, nodded and smiled.Everyone praised it again.

A group of people talked and laughed and walked forward.After shopping for a long time, I finished shopping in this garden.And wherever he went, Jia Zheng ordered Baoyu to come up with a name. Although Baoyu saw all the guests here, he couldn't be proud of himself, but Jia Zheng wanted to test him today, so he had to rely on him.

After shopping, Jia Zheng saw that he was not in good spirits, and gradually felt some compassion in his heart, and said gently: "You are also tired after shopping for a day, your mother and old lady miss you every day, just go and see them."

Baoyu agreed with a smile, and Fang withdrew.Outside the courtyard, a boy with Jia Zheng came up to hug him and said, "Thanks to the master's liking today, the old lady sent someone out to ask several times, and we said that the master likes it; otherwise, the old lady told you to go in." You can’t show your talents. Everyone says that you are better than everyone else in those poems. Now that you have won the lottery, it’s time for us to reward you.” Baoyu laughed and said, “One for each.” Came to Mrs. Wang's side.

At this time, Mrs. Wang's side is also very lively.It turned out that Jia Qiang had bought twelve girls from Gusu, and hired teachers and outfits.At that time, Aunt Xue lived in another quiet house in the northeast, repaired the Pear Fragrance Court, and ordered the teacher to teach female opera here; They are all old women, and they lead and manage them.Prime Minister Jia Qiang ordered the day and month money in and out, as well as the accounts of materials needed by all the people.

When Baoyu came in, he heard Mrs. Wang telling Jia Qiang these things.Seeing him coming, Jia Qiang also left.

Baoyu went in and sat down at will, and listened to Mrs. Wang's orders.At this time, Jin Chuan'er, the maid beside Mrs. Wang, had already made hot tea, and asked with a smile, "Baoyu, but it's been a long time since I saw you."

Baoyu took the tea and said with a smile, "Thank you, sister. I've been busy learning things from my second elder brother recently, so I don't come here much. Today I'm free, so Tete came to visit my mother."

After finishing her work, Mrs. Wang came forward and hugged Baoyu, and said lovingly, "My son, I heard from Mingyan that you went to the garden with your father today?"

Baoyu replied: "Well, I just met my father at the gate of the garden, so I went in for a stroll."

Mrs. Wang saw that his face was full of spirits, but he was a little tired, but there was nothing unpleasant about it.He knew in his heart that Jia Zheng must not have made things difficult for him today, "I just heard you said that you went to study with your second elder brother. Mother is very relieved."

While talking, Lin Zhixiao's family came back and forth: "Twelve little nuns and little Taoist nuns were hired for interviews, and they all arrived. They even have newly made [-]-cent Taoist robes. There is also a practitioner with hair , this is a Suzhou native, and her ancestors are also a family of scholars and officials. Because she was sick since she was a child, she bought many substitutes, but they were all useless. After all, this girl entered Buddhism, and she just recovered, so she took her hair to practice. This year, named Miaoyu. Now her parents are both dead, and there are only two old mothers and a little girl waiting by her side. She is also very proficient in writing, familiar with classics, and looks very good. Because I heard that there are Guanyin relics and beiye relics in Chang'an capital. Wen, came up with her master last year, and now lives in the Muni Courtyard outside the West Gate. Her master performed congenital numbers and passed away last winter. Her last words said: "It is not appropriate to return to my hometown. Wait here, and there will be results." So I never helped the spirit back."

When Baoyu heard this, he was very happy.Quickly interjected: "Mother, why don't we pick her up?"

Mrs. Wang thought for a moment, and then heard Lin Zhixiao's family reply: "If you invite her, she might say: 'Houmen's mansion will overwhelm people with your power, and I won't go again.'"

Mrs. Wang glanced at Baoyu, nodded and said, "Since you are a young lady of the eunuch family, you should be more arrogant. Let's invite her next time."

Lin Zhixiao's family agreed to go out and asked Mr. Shu Qi to write an invitation to invite Miaoyu, and send someone to pick him up the next day.

Baoyu talked to Mrs. Wang for a while, and then he couldn't wait to come to Daiyu's side. He just heard that this Miaoyu is very proficient in writing and ink, and looks very good, so he couldn't help but want to see her.

The author has something to say:
