My Dad in the Red Chamber is still alive

But it is said that Sister Feng, Yingchun, Tanchun and Daiyu came to the gate of Cui's mansion slowly in a carriage, and there were maids waiting outside the gate.Seeing that it was Daiyu's car, she hurriedly greeted her warmly and invited her inside.

The carriages and horses entered the gate, Daiyu opened the curtain and looked out, there were already several carriages parked outside the Yimen, and several ladies and ladies were slowly getting out of the carriages with the help of maids.

Sister Feng also entered the Yimen, turned around the big screen, and saw the Cui family sisters waiting there.Seeing Daiyu and her party, Cui Shuyuan hurried up to say hello to Sister Feng, greeted each other with Yingchun and Tanchun, and then walked in with Daiyu's hand.

Yingchun and Tanchun were going out to socialize for the first time, and they were a little excited but inevitably a little nervous, so they closely followed in the footsteps of Sister Feng and Daiyu.Entering the flower hall where the Cui family members received guests, I saw that there were more than a dozen large round tables with refreshments on the table.Some ladies are already sitting together and talking softly.

There are charcoal braziers everywhere in the hall, and it feels warm for a while.Daiyu and the others hurriedly took off the big fur cloak they were wearing outside, and handed the stove to the servant girl together.

At this time, Mrs. Cui saw Sister Feng and the others entering the door, and hurriedly greeted them warmly. After some pleasantries, Sister Feng and the others were allowed to sit at a table in front.

Because other wives and ladies came in one after another, the Cui sisters and Mrs. Cui couldn't sit for long, so Sister Feng and Daiyu hurriedly asked them to greet them, saying that you are not welcome.

At any rate, Sister Feng has been a housekeeper for several years, and she has no experience in dealing with people in Beijing and China.So in a short while, I took Yingchun and Tanchun to get acquainted with other ladies and ladies.

Ladies and gentlemen in Beijing, these years, I only heard that the girls in Jia's house are good, and Baoyu, a busy idler, goes out all day to talk about how talented her sisters are.It's just all heard of it, no one has seen it!Now that I finally saw the legendary talented woman from Rongguo's mansion, it was inevitable that everyone would secretly look at her more.

I saw the second girl from the Rong Mansion, who was born plump and gentle, gentle and quiet, with big eyes like a deer, and she didn't talk much, she was easy to see, if anyone married such a daughter-in-law, I don't know what it takes to be a mother-in-law. How much trouble is saved!It is said that although it is a concubine, it is now recorded under the name of the eldest wife.

As for the third girl named Jia Tanchun, although she is only 12 years old, she can already see that she must be a great beauty when she grows up.He is tall, with slender limbs, looks around like a god, and speaks sharply. He is obviously talented at first glance.It's a pity that he is a concubine, otherwise he would be a good candidate to be the wife of the family.

Of course, Yingchun and Tanchun were also criticizing these ladies in their hearts.

After a while, all the guests arrived, and the banquets were served one after another.It was inevitable to compliment each other at the banquet, and some talented girls suggested composing poems and couplets. For a while, the flower hall was full of singing and swallowing, and laughter continued...

After eating, everyone moved to Cui's garden to enjoy the plum blossoms.At this time, some of the wives chatted hand in hand, and some asked more questions to see which girl was pleasing to the eye, and more girls chatted and laughed together in small groups.

At this time, Liu Yueying, Daiyu's elder sister, said: "How can there be no poems about red plum blossoms in such a snowy scene? Today we must write a few plum blossom poems with the theme of plum blossoms. If anyone who comes today is counted as one, no one is allowed to hide." lazy!"

Tanchun was delighted when he heard this, there is nothing to be afraid of in writing poetry, it is just to show off his talent!

Yingchun was a little nervous when she heard this, she knew that she was not good at composing poems.

At this time, a girl laughed and said: "Not everyone can be as talented as Sister Liu. The sisters have their own strengths in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. If we are good at something, we can do it!"

Liu Yueying: "It's good to be so good. It's just that everyone writes poems, plays chess, draws and paints. What's the difference between us and us in our own home? Isn't it a waste of nothing?" Is it fate that our sisters finally get together?"

Everyone laughed and said, "Sister Liu is right, it's fun when everyone plays together."

Daiyu thought for a while and said: "Why don't we get a fresh one? Let's divide into two teams, and then use the form of beating the drum to pass the flowers. Whoever passes the flowers to can choose one according to their own preferences. For example, I said to make plum blossoms." Poetry, the other team also needs to send a person to challenge, make a plum blossom poem, and then everyone will judge together."

When the girls heard it, they all said: "This method is good, it is novel and lively, and it also fits the occasion!"

While they were talking lively, Mrs. Cui waited for the noble ladies to come over, and said with a smile: "What are the girls talking about? It's so lively!"

Cui Shuyuan repeated Daiyu's words with a smile. When Mrs. Cui heard it, she said happily, "This sounds interesting, but I'm afraid it's too cold to play in this icy and snowy place. Girls, go back to the flower hall. I folded some plum blossoms and put them in vases and put them in the hall, and the same goes for the girls playing in the hall."

Mrs. Liu clapped her hands and said with a smile: "It's rare for the girls to be so lively together, but since the two teams compete, how can there be no prizes? I don't think we can join in the fun. Let's each take out something as a prize."

All the officials, wives and noble ladies are all masters who are not short of money, and they were all happy to agree when they heard it.Speaking of which, there are people who are pulling bracelets and hairpins!

Sister Feng said with a smile: "If you want me to say that we can't shine, although I don't know a few words, all the wives and grandma were talented women when they were not out of the cabinet. Why don't we give them a verdict if they compete with each other?" Wouldn't it be unfair to prevent them from making their own judgments?"

Everyone laughed and said: "It's better this way, and we will follow along with the excitement."

So everyone talked and laughed and returned to the flower hall.

All the girls were divided into groups by lottery, exactly one 14 people, a group of seven.Coincidentally, today only Cui Shuyun and Daiyu are in one group, while Liu Yueying, Cui Shuyuan, Yingchun, and Tanchun are in another group.

After being divided into groups, girls in the same group will inevitably ask each other modestly what they are good at, so that they can take on the challenge later.When someone asked Daiyu what she was good at, Daiyu smiled modestly and said, "I can write well." (In fact, Daiyu really wanted to say: I am good at wielding a knife, swinging a whip, and stomping my feet to get into the house! )

Once ready, the game begins.I can only hear the drums in the flower hall sometimes fast and sometimes slow, sometimes like ten thousand horses galloping together, sometimes like rain falling on the eaves, and sometimes like an old man walking...

Some of the girls wrote poems, some painted, some played chess, some wrote, and some played the piano... In short, all of them took out their housekeeping books!

It’s just because everyone usually writes poems and paints together, although there are differences between superiors and inferiors, but I can’t always praise myself, it’s inevitable that I always praise each other, and I always lack a sense of accomplishment.It's a good day today, two-two competitions, comments from all the wives, and lottery prizes, the girls' desire to win and sense of accomplishment are unprecedentedly high!

The poetry recitation does not give in to Liu Yueying, the poems are bold and open, and the plum blossoms are not sad or lonely in her poems, only a heroic spirit of embracing ice and snow!

In terms of chess skills, Yingchun lived up to Daiyu and Sister Feng's expectations, and she really came out on top. After the round of the game, no one got any benefits from her!

And Tanchun's poems and characters are very brilliant, which surprised some people who despised her because of her status as a concubine.Everyone didn't know that girls in Jia's mansion didn't distinguish between concubines and concubines. Seeing that the two concubines were so talented today, they suddenly became more curious about the genuine concubine daughter—the fourth girl, Jia Xichun!

Daiyu is just a background board this time, with a few strokes of writing, mixed with a jasper bracelet, so that she is the last one!Daiyu wasn't angry either, looking at Yingchun Tanchun's rosy smiling face, she was happier than she got the first place!

The happy time always flies fast, and the sun sets before you know it.The prizes contributed by the ladies on the table next to me are running out!Mrs. Liu saw that the time was almost up, and all the girls had gained something, so she said with a smile: "The sun is about to set, all the girls, please take a rest! If this continues, I'm afraid I won't be able to get a piece of jewelry when I go home. Not left!"

All the wives and wives laughed and agreed: "Isn't it? I'm really happy to play today, as if I'm back in the days when I didn't leave the cabinet."

Another said: "I will post in a few days, and everyone will come to my house to compete again!"

………………

*********

Soon the atmosphere of the game in Beijing's noble girls' circle changed!The original conversation was like this: "Sister Wang's drawing is really good!" "No, no, sister Li's drawing is better!"

The current tone is like this: "The opponent's debate friends, please pay attention, please don't secretly change the concept... blah blah blah..."

For a while, those noble ladies who are usually not very talented dare not participate in the event!They pondered in bewilderment: Aren't the ladies in the capital always modest and polite?When did it become so cruel?

Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting are not something that can be learned temporarily, what should I do?I had to think of other ways.It's not more beautiful than talent!But the appearance can't be remade, so the only thing to do is to make a fuss about the clothes!At that moment, countless noble ladies went straight to the Peacock Feather Brocade Pavilion by coincidence!

Daiyu: I am not, I am not, I am wronged! ... I really didn't know that this wave of operations would attract so many customers to my shop!

Of course, this is all something to say later, on the way back now, Yingchun and Tanchun have not yet come out of the excitement, thinking back to the ladies today reciting poems, playing chess and painting, how happy they are!There are even a few girls with similar interests meeting again next time!

This kind of experience has never been experienced by girls from the Jia family. The feeling of stepping out of the house, walking into the crowd, and being recognized is so good, it makes the two girls seem to have a new life!

The girls in the carriage here chatted and laughed softly, but they didn't know that there was a thunderstorm waiting for them at home!
