Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 567 Two pots of white crabapple

Baochai chased after her for a while, but was persuaded by the crowd. She said angrily, "That's what I did when I was young. I've been staying at home peacefully these past few years. When I go out, I wear women's clothes, even the men's clothes I wear together. No more, these two girls did it on purpose!"

Daiyu begged for forgiveness: "Good sister, please forgive me. Isn't it for everyone's sake? If you take out our things, how much trouble will it save? Can't you just treat us as fulfilled?"

Su Muxue also said: "If we take it out by ourselves without the hands of others, it will indeed save a lot of trouble. But there is one thing, if it is really going to be like this, we people must treat this matter seriously, No one can say that if the secret is revealed, it will not be fun."

Shi Xiangyun was the most concerned and said: "It's settled, we form a society to compose poems, and each society will select the top three poems, and Sister Bao will bring them out in detail. Whether it is good or bad depends on the world." The one that is praised the most is No. 1, so you have to be the host and invite a group of people."

Tanchun was anxious: "Then who is going to invite the other party? I have to keep my words in mind. I must invite the other party first, so as not to waste my time."

Daiyu said with a smile: "If you run away, can't you? To put it bluntly, we people just want to find a reason to get together often. Since we want to take out our poems, we don't talk about poetry clubs to outsiders on weekdays, and we also restrain ourselves Good servant, tell everyone to keep their mouths in check.”

Li Wan smiled and said: "That's right. There are ten of us here, and I'm the oldest. You all have to follow my ideas, and everyone will agree with me. I don't get along with Wu Linzhu, Yingyatou and Tinger Knowing how to compose poetry, we have to let the four of us go, and each of us has a job. If you want to elect me as the president, I am naturally not enough for one president. I have the most things in my room. The second grandma Lian will preside over the overall situation for me. Girl Ying and Ting'er are also vice presidents, one is in charge of writing the questions and rhymes, and the other is in charge of transcribing and supervising the field. Another point, among us, although Miss Su is not young, The eldest is the one with the broadest knowledge and the most steadfast stand. She must be the censor of the prison society. It is up to Miss Su to guess which society should invite the host, or what penalty contract should be set for the failure of poetry and prose. It is."

Shui Yan on the side listened and nodded again and again: "As expected of sister-in-law Zhu, she is not a few years older than us, and what she said is sound. However, although the four of you are not very good at composing poems, why don't you just write a sentence?"

Li Wan said: "That's not necessary. If we encounter an easy rhyme topic, we can also echo one or two, or we can also say one or two sentences at the top of the poem."

Shui Yan said again: "Since that's the case, let's meet two or three times a month. If we only care about meeting more, I'm afraid it will be boring again."

Baochai thought for a while: "Then twice a month, the date is drawn up, rain or shine. Except for these two days, if there is someone who is happy, or it happens to be someone's birthday during the New Year, everyone, if you are interested Then it’s okay to get together again.”

……

Topics like these, these ten women gathered together to chat and discuss, when to get together, what penalty agreement to make, just like this, you talk to each other until the end of the next month.

Everyone discussed that the poetry club was held in February. Every year from the first month to March, birthday parties were held in various houses, and every family had to go to the party. They were so busy that they couldn't invite them all. Until the end of March, Jia Baoyu got two pots of extremely rare white crabapple from nowhere, and gave them to the two sisters Tanchun and Yingchun to enjoy.

The more Tanchun and Yingchun looked at the begonia, the more they thought it was beautiful, so Yingchun simply moved her pot to Tanchun's place, thinking that everyone had been fighting for almost two months, and everyone had nothing important to do. You can invite this first club.

Tanchun quickly cheered up and wrote the invitation post, and this time he hit every trick again.

Xiangyun had been lingering in Jia's mansion, but he was the first one to arrive.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw two pots of beautiful crabapple flowers, and her eyes lit up: "Oh, what a beautiful crabapple flower, where did they come from, and why are they blooming so beautifully?"

Tanchun smiled and said, "Didn't Brother Bao send it for our poetry club? We were all busy a while ago, and we couldn't get it all together. We couldn't open the club. I was always depressed, so Brother Bao went to find some for me. The new thing came, and seeing that I was still unhappy, I asked why. I didn’t want to say anything, but that day Yingchun sister was also there, and she said that I might as well tell brother Bao, so I told about our poetry club. Who knows Brother Bao was so envious. He also said that if he was a woman, he would not go to any other studies, and would write poems with us. From that day on, he would send something to me and Sister Yingchun from time to time. , Said to see if we can form an association and write poems. Today's crabapple flower also has the same meaning, it is rare that it blooms well, let us actually sing it."

Shi Xiangyun nodded: "At the end of the day, Brother Bao is careful and considerate to us. By the way, how is his homework these days? Did the master beat him? I remember that when he was in junior high school, he cried every day. Don't go to the nose, how is it now?"

Tan Chun smiled and said, "How many years ago are you old Huang Li? Now the second elder brother is healed. You don't have to discipline him harshly. He knows how to make progress. I heard that my husband praised him once a while ago, saying The others beside him are not surprising, but the good calligraphy of the style of the pavilion and the wonderful strategies are superior to others."

Xiangyun nodded when he heard the words: "So that's the case. I don't know about the other things, but I heard that people who can make a fuss can take the imperial examination much easier. Is this so?"

Yingchun also followed suit and said, "Of course it is. The second elder brother Lian of our family said the same thing. He is completely opposite to Baoyu. He is very proficient in others and has a good memory. Endorsing is not a problem, but if Asking him to write an article by himself is always a little too late, too well-behaved, and not brilliant at all. There is no way, Lian's second brother always has to work twice as hard as Baoyu on weekdays to get the occasional compliment from Mr. Unlike Baoyu, Mister values ​​it very much."

Xiangyun laughed and said: "In the end, Jia's family is also blessed. These brothers are all hardworking and studious. Big brother Zhu, third brother Cong, Huan'er, and even sister-in-law Lan'er are all hardworking. Did you study? There is hope for a champion tomorrow.”

Xiangyun's words made both Yingchun and Tanchun look happy, and they smiled and said, "I'd like to lend you some good words."

Before he could say a word, Tanchun's yard became lively, and laughter could be heard from a distance, and it turned out that all the poets had arrived.
