Jin Yuliangyuan of the Red Chamber

Shui Rong stood at the gate of the courtyard, looking at Baoyu with a smile in his eyes, and Daiyu who was wiping his sweat a foot away.

"Good skill! I didn't see clearly last night, today is really an eye-opener!" He approached with a smile, hugged Baoyu's shoulder affectionately and praised, then wrinkled his nose in distaste: "So heavy sweat Smell! Stay away from you." Let go of him and walk to the side.

Baoyu couldn't laugh or cry, "It's so early in the morning, are you free? Why did you come here?" He sniffed himself, nothing?Before going to bed last night, he vaguely remembered that he had taken a bath, but there was just a fight, how could it be that exaggerated?

Shui Rong was only joking at first, and Daiyu wanted to go back to her room to drink water, so she dragged Baoyu away, so he hurriedly followed, and said dissatisfiedly to Daiyu: "Xiao Yuer, you are not kind! Why don't you just give me a sip of tea Huh?" Daiyu laughed and said, "I didn't ask you, didn't you come with me?" He curled his lips, saw Daiyu pour him a cup of tea and pushed it to him, then he laughed and said : "The emperor said that Baoyu seemed to drink a little too much yesterday, so he asked me to come and see you. I went to see that you were not here, so I came here. Unexpectedly, I saw a good show."

Baoyu smiled and waved his hands: "You're showing your ugliness." Shui Rong said with a smile: "It seems that the champion of martial arts is none other than you. Is it possible that I will have the first champion of civil and military affairs in my dynasty? I really look forward to it." Baoyu smiled. without speaking.

Naturally, he is not worried about Wu Zhuangyuan. As for literature... Mingjing is of course not a problem. It is nothing more than memorizing, composing poems and lyrics. It can be regarded as some ingenuity, but there are people outside the mountain, and there must be many people who are stronger than him, this one is probably a little inferior.In terms of articles, he is not much different from those talented scholars, but his thinking is a little ahead, and his conception may have some advantages.In this regard, he is the same as Jia Lian.

To sum up, even if it is not the top three, it will not be too bad.He still has that confidence.

Seeing that the old god was there, Shui Rong knew that he was confident, so he smiled and said, "The emperor and I will go to watch on the twentieth day, don't let us down!" Baoyu smiled and cupped his hands: "Don't worry!" Shui Rong said After finishing, I was about to leave, "There is still a lot of work to do, I was ordered to come and see you, you should rest well these few days, you can take Xiao Yu'er out to play, the emperor and I want to go out too! I heard that the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival in Yangzhou is very lively!"

After sending away the energetic Shui Rong, Baoyu turned around and smiled at Daiyu, "I'm so confused, I even forgot today's Mid-Autumn Festival." Daiyu said angrily, "You drank too much! Please drink less alcohol, you still like to drink if you can't handle it, it's really..." Baoyu smiled, and Daiyu asked Qingwen to fetch water for him to wash.

After washing up, Baoyu felt refreshed all over, so he asked someone to bring breakfast to the room, and the two of them ate together, it was just porridge to nourish the stomach and a few refreshing and delicious side dishes.He was withdrawn when he was [-]% full.After sitting for a while, Daiyu got up and went inside. Baoyu waited curiously, not knowing what she was going to do.

Not long after, Daiyu came out with her hands behind her back, her cheeks were slightly flushed, but she didn't avoid his questioning eyes, and she finally spoke under his puzzled and curious eyes: "Well... isn't today the Mid-Autumn Festival, I Thinking of giving it as a boxing gift, I... embroidered a belt, and if you... don't look good, you can return it to me."

Baoyu suddenly realized that it was a gift for herself!No wonder you are so embarrassed!In fact, what is it, he will not dislike it, "As long as it is given by you, I like it. Besides, there is no reason to take back the gift given away?" He smiled, and pulled out the belt from behind her to look at it. .

The black plain satin is inlaid with gold edging, and the top is flowing clouds and flames. The lines are smooth and the colors are bright. Unique, you can tell it's Daiyu's handwriting at a glance.He frowned and looked at her: "What is this embroidering? There are so many? You are not afraid of breaking your eyes." Daiyu hurriedly said: "This is the Diamond Sutra. I only embroidered a little bit, and I didn't embroider it all the time. I It was intermittent, and it took almost two months to embroider."

two months?Doesn't that start almost as soon as you get back?Daiyu’s former female workers were actually not particularly good, mainly because she was raised by Baoyu to be more lively. She read and wrote on weekdays, or Baoyu played with her, and only occasionally embroidered a few stitches when chatting with her sisters to pass the time. .It must have taken a lot of effort to embroider this belt so well.

He felt a little sour in his heart. The flame patterns on it were probably embroidered because of his preference for such patterns recently, right?How much effort did she spend on the densely packed scriptures?

"Thank you, I like it very much." He held her hand and pressed it to his chest, and said in a low voice, "It's just that I can't be so tired in the future, my eyes." Daiyu felt the vibration coming from her fingertips, and tried her best to suppress the hot cheeks Embarrassed, she responded, and was pulled into his arms and hugged.

"Yuan'er, you are so kind, how can I repay you?" He hugged her so tightly, his heart was full, this sentence seemed to be sighing, but also seemed to contain endless love, shocking for no reason Daiyu's heart was trembling, her blush spread uncontrollably from her face to her neck, and she was clasped tightly by him again, she let out a groan, put her hands on his chest, and buried her face in it.

After a while Baoyu released her and untied her belt. Daiyu stomped her feet and said anxiously, "What are you going to do?" Baoyu untied her and held it in his hand. He raised his eyebrows and smiled, and said, "Of course it is this one? What else can I do?"

Daiyu suddenly became embarrassed, her eyes were evasive, but he approached with a playful smile: "Yuan'er, where did you think? Huh?" The roundabout sound fell in her ears, making her Her heart also trembled, and she hurriedly snatched it over and said, "It's nothing, don't you want to change it? I'll help you fasten it." Then she turned him around.

Baoyu also knew that the joke should not be too big, so he turned around kindly and let her work behind her back.

For a while, Shui Rong arrived at Shuihong to report the situation, and by the way, he exaggerated the battle between Baoyu and Daiyu, and said: "Looking at it this way, the champion of martial arts is definitely his!" After listening to it with a smile, Shui Hong poured him a cup of tea and pushed it over, saying: "Drink your saliva smoothly, I think you are quite tired after talking about it for a long time." Shui Rong said dissatisfiedly: "What I said is true Ah, why do you look like you don't believe it? What a waste of emotion!"

Shuihong smiled and said, "How can I not believe it? I still have this little confidence in Baoyu, but seeing what you said so vigorously, I will take it as a book." Shui Rong curled his lips and changed the subject: " By the way, how is sister-in-law? It was so late last night, are you okay?"

Speaking of his wife and children, Shui Hong's already good mood became even better, and his face became more gentle, "It's very good, the imperial doctor came to ask for a pulse this morning. It's been more than six months now, and both adults and children are very happy." Healthy." Shui Rong nodded, and said again: "The birth will take another two or three months, what if we are on the way then? It's inconvenient." Shui Hong laughed: "Who said we have to go on the road? I'm going to let her I was born here. Anyway, I won’t be able to leave for a while, waiting for the examination papers, reviewing the competition, and finally publishing the rankings.

Shui Rong's mouth was so long that it could hold an egg: "Aren't you kidding me? It's going to be Chinese New Year in three months! You don't plan to spend the whole year here, do you?" Shui Hong was stunned. Forget about this, it’s better to be in the palace during the Chinese New Year, otherwise it’s always not good.As a result, his original plan was messed up, and he still wanted to take the queen to Chang'an, but now it will not work.

He scratched his head depressedly, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "Then... let's set off after the baby is born, and rush back to the palace to go to the head office before the year, right?" Shui Rong nodded, and he asked again: " I've been too busy to look around recently, what's going on in Beijing?" Shui Rong thought for a while, and said, "It's nothing serious, but I heard that a while ago, a member of the Ministry of Industry, Wailang Jia Zheng, beat up his third son. You are not allowed to leave the house yet!"

Shui Hong frowned: "Isn't that Baoyu's younger brother? What's going on?" Shui Rong said: "It seems that it's because he hooked up with them and other people to gamble money, and when he had no money, he stole his father's study and was found out As soon as I asked, I asked the bottom line." Shuihong sneered: "It's quite courageous, what else?" "There is also a person named Jia Qin, who seems to be very close to Jia Yucun recently. Jia's family The old lady took a group of people to Jinling to let her great-grandson take the exam."

"Well," it's no big deal, Shui Hong didn't take it to heart, "Where is the old prince?" "Everything is normal, there is no abnormality." Shui Rong paused, and then said: "I heard that Uncle Hao's place There are quite a few people visiting every day!" "How many times can you have?" Shuihong smiled slightly, as if he didn't care.Shui Rong jumped up: "I live here, how can anyone come in!"

Shui Hong comforted him with a smile: "Okay, I don't mean anything else. It doesn't matter how many people go, he can't do anything big." Speaking of meeting people, he also had a headache, "I'm busy these days. I don’t care about seeing those useless people, I must find time to see them before I leave.” By then, the door of Lin’s residence will definitely be broken down, and there are still several piles of invitations for meeting on his desk. , he didn't even have time to look at it.

The two talked for a while, and seeing that it was almost noon, Shui Hong left Shui Rong to eat, "After eating, let's go to Lin Ruhai's place and see what they think." Shui Rong thought about it. Don't call Baoyu and Daiyu here. Shuihong shook his head and smiled, thinking that those two people would still care about coming here, and they might have disappeared long ago.

He really thought well, Baoyu stayed inside for nine days, finally came out, and it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, so he took Daiyu out to play, and returned at night.Lin Ruhai was so busy that even during the Mid-Autumn Festival, she couldn't spare time, so she only checked papers with the invigilators at the designated place. Shui Hong's family had dinner with Shui Rong, Jia Lianfeng's family was together, and Bao Dai was outside.

In the afternoon, the emperor and the king of Beijing visited in person, and asked all the adults to do their best, and never falsified. From the exam to the grading, it is rare and clean, with very little moisture.

Baoyu and the others came back in the evening. After all, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and they still wanted to have a reunion dinner with their families. Lin Ruhai also came back. A reunion dinner was eaten at the table.Shuihong also said with a smile that this was the first time he had such a happy Mid-Autumn Festival when he grew up.

Although not in Duzhong, the rewards that should be given during the Mid-Autumn Festival are still indispensable. Du Yueyan rewarded the accompanying officials a few days ago.

Taking advantage of the joy of the imperial examination, this Mid-Autumn Festival was very festive, except for Xue Baochai.
