[Comprehensive Red House] Infinite Merit

After Aunt Xue's birthday banquet, there will be no major affairs in Jia's house for a month or two.

It was only in the middle of August that Jia Zheng was ordered to go to other provinces to take office, and he decided to leave on August [-]. Jia's mother was ecstatic when she heard that, and it was the Mid-Autumn Festival. Porridge is eaten by the poor and counted as fun.

Jia Zheng left home, let's not talk about how the Jia family's children sent each other off, just said that autumn has entered and the weather is refreshing. It was a very comfortable weather, but Tanchun fell ill because he used more cold bowls because he was greedy for cold Come on, I can't get out of bed for three or five days in a row.

After youyi probed twice, she was in good spirits, but she was very weak, and she also had some symptoms of excessive worry.

But that had nothing to do with her.

When Tanchun recovered, he invited everyone to Qiushuangzhai. After thinking about it for a while, Yuyi realized that it was for the sake of the poetry club, so she made up her mind to continue to be a salted fish in the poetry club, and left happily .

I ran into Xichun on the road, and the two chatted a little, and Youyi asked, "How is living in the Ouxiangxie? It's a coincidence, I thought it would be cold in Liaofengxuan in winter, and I wanted to tell my wife to let you move out, but now You don’t need to speak anymore. Just wait for Nuanxiangwu to be cleaned up, and then you can move there.”

It was raining for several days in a row, and the wind was blowing so hard that a house in Liaofengxuan in Xichun was damaged.It wasn't a big deal at all, but Mother Jia cherished these granddaughters the most. When she heard about it, she ordered Wang Xifeng to go to the temple to pray for Xichun, and invited Huang Daoji to move her to live in another room.

The first choice is naturally Nuanxiangwu, only because there are some places that need to rest and recuperate, Mrs. Wang first chose the Ou Xiangxie to let the Chinese New Year stay there, and then move there after the Nuanxiangwu jewelry is ready.

Xichun smiled and said: "Ouxiangxie is colder, but when the weather is cold, Nuanxiangwu has also been tidied up, so I am not afraid. The large open space in the courtyard behind is enough for me to practice sword. "

Youyi laughed when she heard this: "You have to be more careful. It's not a joke to let the old lady and the wife know."

"That's natural. It's impossible to reveal the personnel and affairs around me. Even my brother can't find out about me." Xichun raised her eyebrows, quite complacent.

While talking for a while, when I arrived at Qiushuangzhai, Yingchun and Baochai had arrived. They were sitting in the room drinking tea and talking with Tanchun. So happy."

"Say, this girl's house was flooded, so it was a blessing in disguise!" Youyi smiled, and looked up to see a shining red gold phoenix-tailed agate tassel hairpin in Baochai's black hair, and smiled: "You hairpin I look familiar."

Baochai raised her hand to support the hairpin, and said with a smile: "My mother gave it to me. I heard that my aunt also has one that is exactly like this one."

"That's it." Yingchun smiled: "I have seen my wife wear such a hairpin, but I don't wear it often. If my sister-in-law didn't mention it, I wouldn't remember it!"

Just as he was talking, Baoyu and Daiyu also came together, and after a few more words, Tanchun cut to the chase and talked about the Poetry Club.

So everyone confirmed their numbers one by one, and the judges didn’t think it was too tedious, so it would be better to reveal something more: Xue Baochai—Hengwu Jun, Yingchun—Lingzhou, Xichun—Ouxie, Youyi—Old Farmer Daoxiang , Tanchun-Jiaxia guest, Daiyu-Xiaoxiang concubine, Baoyu-Yihong son.

You Yi still said the name in Li Wan's memory.

Youyi then uttered another sentence from Li Wan's memory, to the effect that she and Ying and Xi Erchun couldn't compose poems, so she let them out and took on other errands.He also recommended himself to be the president of the poetry club, and recommended Xichun and Yingchun as the vice presidents.

Xichun Yingchun nodded hurriedly after hearing this, and said: "This is good, this is good."

Tanchun and others were convinced by You Yisu, and her idea was also very good, so they all agreed.

Everyone made another Haitang poem, and pushed Mr. Hengwu to be the leader and concubine Xiaoxiang second.

Baoyu pushed Daiyu deliberately, but Daiyu liked Baochai's poems very much, so he had no choice but to be at the bottom, watching the leader and the second place fall in love with each other.

Youyi also made an appointment to open it on the second and sixteenth day of each month, and made it clear on the money: "We have to use money to run a poetry club. Your monthly money is limited, so you don't get it from you. What I have on hand is Those who are more relaxed than you, only take out 50 dual-use first."

As soon as she finished speaking, Tanchun said: "Why don't we all have to pay for our fun?"

He said again: "Sister-in-law, I already have an idea, but I'm afraid that you will assign another official position."

Youyi asked her what she meant, and Tanchun asked Wang Xifeng to supervise the censor.As soon as the words fell, several people in the room laughed. Baochai raised his hand and tapped Tanchun's forehead, and said with a smile, "You girl!"

Youyi thought for a moment, then nodded: "That's fine."

He said again: "But I have to choose a good time to tell her. Now I will use my 50 taels as public funds. On the second day of next month, I will take money from there to buy fruit water and wine. It is in the small village behind Daoxiang Village. On the pavilion. There is a stream at the other end. If you move some chrysanthemums there, you don’t need a round table, just spread the blanket thickly, and then move three or four low tables and long tables, and set up cushions on the spot. Wouldn’t it be elegant? ?”

Everyone nodded in agreement, and Tanchun also said: "The house is busy these days, so I won't bother Lian's second sister-in-law. Let's talk about it after a while."

As he said that, Yingchun suddenly said: "Speaking of which, sister Xiangyun is not here for the past two days, wouldn't she be left behind?"

Baoyu beat his chest and stamped his feet for a while: "Isn't it true? I just thought I forgot something."

Youyi just smiled and said: "In that case, why don't you go to the old lady's place later and pick her up tomorrow?"

Baoyu nodded again and again: "I'll go there right away."

After saying that, they lifted their feet and left. Everyone looked at each other and smiled, and they dispersed.

The precious jade came to Jia Mu's room and begged Jia Mu to pick up Shi Xiangyun. Jia Mu just said, "It's getting late today, so I'll pick it up early tomorrow."

Baoyu had no choice but to agree, went back to the garden to eat and sleep indiscriminately, and went back to Jia Mu's room early the next morning.

Where does Jia's mother not know his little thoughts?Immediately ordered people to prepare a car and sedan chair to pick up Shi Xiangyun, and sure enough, someone passed through at noon: "Miss Shi is here."

Baoyu was terribly happy, and when he had saluted Jiamu, he immediately led the people into the garden and into the courtyard of Youyi.

On Youyi's side, Sanchun, Baochai, and Daiyu are all there, in the pavilion at the foot of the mountain behind the courtyard, where they are very comfortable talking, reading, playing chess, or playing the piano.

Youyi was leaning on a beautiful couch with thick cushions, flipping through an old book slowly in her hand, just to pass the time.

Seeing Shi Xiangyun coming, Baochai said to Yun Xin, "My dear sister, please get some pens and ink."

Yun Xin smiled and agreed, and when she came back soon, two women behind her were carrying a book case of suitable height, and another girl was holding a pen, ink, rice paper, etc., Yingchun told Shi Xiangyun about Yun, saying: "You are about to write the poem. Come on, otherwise I will really make you sweep the floor and burn incense."

Xiangyun already had a plan in his stomach, so he picked up a pen and waved his hands and wrote two poems, and said some modest words, and let everyone read.

When everyone saw it, they all said it was a guy, and they only said that this Haitang poem was worthy of the name of "Haitang Society". Xiangyun said again: "Tomorrow, I will be punished as a host, and I will invite a society first."

Everyone nodded and said it was very good, but Baochai frowned and didn't know what to think.

When the crowd dispersed, Youyi raised her hand and tugged on La Baochai's sleeve, and said in a low voice, "You just tell her to use the money from the company as the host, and write the money back to me in a note later."

Baochai smiled: "It didn't cost me anything at all. I have a solid foundation in my mind, so I use the filial things of my subordinates. Besides, there is good wine in the shop, and four or five tables of fruit plates are enough."

Youyi nodded: "It's good if you have success in your heart, but you have to tell me if you need to spend money, otherwise this poetry club will be unfair? Just remember to make two copies, otherwise it will be unfair."

He chuckled and teased again: "If you are a filial servant, you don't have to. If you want to be a dignified businessman, you don't want to change your career to be a second-hand dealer."

Baochai responded with a smile, and said: "Sure enough, my sister-in-law is as careful as a hair, and she even knows what I'm thinking."

Xiangyun lived with Baochai. Seeing Xiangyun worrying about poetry titles at night, Baochai sighed inwardly, pointing out the difficulty of being a host.

Xiangyun also sighed after hearing this, bowed his head and said nothing.

Baochai said with a smile, "But it's easy to handle. The elder sister-in-law has already said that she took out 50 taels of silver and put it in the club for expenses. If you will be the host tomorrow, there is no reason for you to pay the silver."

Then he said his own idea, which was nothing more than the fat crabs from the field and the good wine from the shop, and said: "Tomorrow, I will invite you at the Ouxiangxie. Wouldn't it be enough to set up three or four tables?"

Xiangyun nodded after hearing this: "It's fortunate that my sister has thought everything through, otherwise it would be difficult for me to be a host."

As she said that, she smiled shyly, and said: "I'm not afraid that my sister will know, I just want the kitchen in this house to prepare some melons and fruit snacks, let's enjoy flowers and compose poems. Now that I think about it, I am actually stupid."

Baochai hurriedly said, "I think it's too complicated."

The two drew up the title of the poem again, and ordered people to clean the lotus root champagne early the next morning. It happened that crabs, good wine were all in place, and there were also fruit dishes that had been paid for in the mansion.Baochai took up a pen and wrote two identical notes, in which he wrote down the eight taels of silver spent on the fruit table feast in Mingfu and the five taels of money for wine preparation, and wrote in lower letters: The servants did not offer Move the money, then fold the note and order someone to send it to Youyi.

Youyi took it away, printed the chapter of the poetry society carved out the day before yesterday, and received one piece in a sandalwood box on the bookshelf.Here I ordered someone to weigh 13 taels of silver and seal it, write the quantity in black and white on red paper, order someone to wrap it in a handkerchief, and send it back to Baochai together with the note.

Seeing it, Xiangyun found it interesting, looked at the bright red stamp on the note, and said: "Sister-in-law, the president is also serious about doing things, and even prepared this."

"That's why you don't know what's inside." Speaking of this Baochai, I thought of another thing, and laughed a little: "This is because my sister-in-law's engraved seal is broken. For the material, just change it to this."

Pointing to the pattern on the head again, he said, "Didn't you see something weird like this? It turned out to be a crabapple flower with words in it. It's because it's hard to change words alone!"
