Cold fragrance and warm jade [Red Mansion Chai Dai]

Whenever Guo Sixi came here, he would also bring Xiangling with him, telling him that since Xiangling wanted to learn how to compose poetry before Daiyu and others set up a poetry club, how could she not study hard and practice hard?

Xiangling had always been thinking about this, and every day she held Daiyu in her hand to read, and couldn't stop reading the books of poetry that she had circled and annotated, and now hearing Guo Sixi say this, she was even more eager to learn something. Come on.

For this reason, although she was a little worried about whether it was against the rules, but seeing that no one in the mansion complained, even Zijuan didn't say anything more, just followed Guo Sixi and her to do whatever they wanted, so she and Guo Sixi went to listen to Mo Zongliang Lectures are over.

Daiyu likes that Xiangling is serious and diligent, and hopes that Xiangling will succeed in her studies as soon as possible, so that Xiangling can only concentrate on poetry.

When Xiangling first saw Mo Zongliang, she was somewhat uncomfortable, even though Guo Sixi and others were by her side, she did not dare to get too close to Mo Zongliang.

Later, I often listened to Mo Zongliang explaining the subtle and profound meanings of the poems, and my admiration for Mo Zongliang added a bit of admiration. I listened to the lectures every day very seriously, and even invited Guo Sixi to attend the lectures.

Everyone in the Lin Mansion is at ease, but the whole Rongguo Mansion is not like that.

Although Jia's mother was finally persuaded by Mrs. Wang and others, she allowed Baoyu and Jia Zheng to take office, but because Jia Zheng was not yet required to take office, Baoyu wanted to say goodbye to the sisters, and begged Jia's mother to invite Daiyu and Xiangyun to come. government.

Mother Jia couldn't keep him by her side, and she was already thinking about how to make up for it, so how could she not agree to his little request, and she was scheduled to perform it for Baoyu on the [-]th day of the first lunar month, and then ordered people to go to Bowlinghou's Mansion and Lin's Mansion respectively. pick up.

As things are set, the post should be sent first.

Daiyu received the post at home and looked at it for a while.

Just when Xiangling came back from school, she took a close look at her, and immediately said with a smile: "The old lady chose a lucky day, the next day is Miss Bao's birthday."

"What a coincidence." Daiyu looked at the post again, "I want to prepare a farewell gift for Baoyu, and I want to congratulate Sister Bao on her birthday."

"Isn't it?" Xiangling nodded her head and said, "it's okay for Baoyu to say that if the girl gives it to him, it will definitely make him happy. Only Miss Bao has never seen anything she prefers. I used to be in Xue's house, but I never saw it." She cares about something in particular."

"Miss Bao is only thinking about Grandma Xue and Uncle Xue, but she only thinks about their health and doesn't think too much about it. From my point of view, the girl usually does two-color needlework, such as the peony handkerchief that the girl embroidered just a few years ago. , is also very appropriate."

Daiyu couldn't help teasing her and said, "What a Xiangling! Now that you've come to my Lin's house, you still think about you, Miss Bao? I've been doing this for nearly a year, and it can be said that I embroidered the peony flowers on this handkerchief a few years ago. Thinking about sending you baby girl?"

Xiangling blushed in anxiety, but didn't know how to argue.

Frost Curtain at the side hurriedly said: "Girl! It's not that you don't know that Sister Ling is sincere, but you still make fun of her like this? Sister Ling is dedicated to giving you advice on what to give to Miss Bao. You deserve to thank Sister Ling. "

Xiangling knew that Daiyu didn't really feel that she was in Lin's mansion and her heart was in Xue's house, so she breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled to Shuanglian: "As long as what I said can help the girl, I am satisfied, what more can I ask for? "

Daiyu opened her mouth, and was about to tease Xiangling again, when she came to Lin's house, why didn't she also think about reading and learning poetry?I only saw the wink that Shuanglian gave me, and I understood it in my heart.

She hurriedly pulled Xiangling to change her tune and said with a smile: "Sister Ling, I was joking just now, don't worry about it, it's the truth."

"After all, Shuanglian is right. I should thank you. From my point of view, the peony handkerchief is also suitable for Sister Bao. I don't know that Yun'er also knows that it is Sister Bao's birthday? If she wants to give it to Sister Bao Whatever Sister Bao gives, most of them will also give her the needlework she made in the past. I don’t do much, and I’m afraid I’m not as good as her, but she will be compared to me.”

Daiyu thought about it again, and said: "I should send someone to tell Yun'er, so that she doesn't know, if I give a gift to Sister Bao, but she doesn't prepare anything, it won't be appropriate. Besides, she and Sister Bao are so close, if I find out, I'm afraid I'll feel uncomfortable."

As for the Sanchun sisters, it won't be too late to wait until they go to Rongfu.After all, it was the home of the three sisters, and everything was there, and they could be ready at any time.

Xiangling responded with a smile, and couldn't help asking Daiyu again: "What do you want to give Baoyu, Miss?"

Daiyu glanced around the room, and happened to see a poem written on the table this morning. She intended to wait until the ink was dry before putting it away, but it was still pressed with a paperweight and remained untouched.

She said with a smile: "Baoyu, if he wants to give gifts to others, he will probably think that any money, food and clothing he gives are not his. Count on him."

"Is it because of this that he likes to ask girls for things he made himself? It's just because he also feels that only these things belong to these girls. It is also for this reason that the needlework on his body is often The requirements are very high, and ordinary people are not willing to use it.”

Frost curtain hurriedly asked: "The girl is going to give away her sewing work? It's just that the girl still has any sewing work to give away? There is a purse that was not completed last year, but you can't do needlework during the first month, just ignore this rule, I'm afraid I can't finish it."

Daiyu said angrily: "I only do a little needlework a year, so I don't want to give him away anymore. I remember I gave him a purse not long ago. I want to give it away today, and I don't know if I want to give it away. What kind of painting should I make and what kind of characters should I write? Even if it is not born out of feeling, what's the fun in making it by myself?"

As she spoke, she turned to Xiangling and smiled: "Have you remembered that too? Poetry should be born of emotion, and it's good to express emotion through poetry."

Xiang Ling silently nodded.

Daiyu said to Shuanglian again: "But I have to give this gift, so I have to go to Chongyu for help tonight. I want to follow Zhuge Liang's example and give Baoyu three tricks, so that he can break through whatever he encounters on the road. Let's see."
