Yucuo of the Red Chamber

Seeing Daiyu approaching, Xichun hurriedly ran over with a red face, threw herself into Daiyu's arms, and shouted: "Sister, don't let anyone get drunk anymore. I'm so drunk from eating every day, how can I still be a little drunk?" Decent? It would be a big deal if some villain came up with it. Besides, eating alcohol can easily cause trouble, my good sister..."

"Did someone steal the wine again?" Daiyu pretended to be serious, looked at the blushing but helpless Sui'er behind him, glared at him, then pulled Xichun and said, "Who is it? I'll give you a stick later , beat anyone who steals food, beat hard!"

Sui'er scratched her head and said, "Princess Hui, I didn't steal wine. Just now... Yu An sent some pots of daughter's red wine, I'll take care of it. But today I have arranged chrysanthemum wine, so I want to drink those Put it away, but I never ate it secretly."

"You're talking nonsense, you're arguing in front of my sister." Xichun followed Daiyu to the Lvqi Pavilion, turned around and said angrily, "Recently, I come back with the smell of alcohol every day, and the stench is suffocating. Since my sister has never Day banquet, you eat like that, don’t you eat it stealthily? If you continue like this, you will become a drunkard, how can you still look like a escort? Be prepared for danger in times of peace. Seeing that everyone is doing well right now, you will be lazy. How do you deal with an urgent matter? Besides, today's wine was given to my sister, so why don't you say that it was sent by Haosheng, and you still want to send it to your own room?"

"Well said!" Eunuch Chen came out from the inside, carefully invited Daiyu in, stopped Sui'er outside, and taught, "Since you are the boss, work harder today. You go on duty and let everyone eat." How about enough?"

"Back to the princess, yesterday was my night watch, can't I be on duty here today?" Sui'er begged aggrievedly, and looked at Xichun sadly, wanting her to ask for a favor, or at least stop exposing her.

Xichun snorted, "Then you will be on duty at the gate of the mountain, you are not allowed to steal food, and you are not allowed to beg for mercy. How about letting you smell some fragrance?" Both of them are today thanks to Daiyu, how can Daiyu be generous? He is just lazy, what does he look like.

"That's a good idea!" Faye pulled Daiyu to sit down on the front seat, and laughed, "It's very good to be able to smell it on duty. Jiu'er, if you let someone stare at him, if you find out in a while If you steal food, you will be punished harshly. Where is Qi Wen? Why is he missing again? Only the prefect of Qin wants to meet him, so he doesn't see anyone."

"Master, Qi Wencai is chatting with Eunuch Song at the Loquat Garden. It's probably because he misses the princess, but it's hard to say; or he found something else and asked Eunuch Song to bring it back." Lu Er hurriedly made tea, while He laughed and said, "Master Hui, I miss him when I'm gone, and scold him when I see him. I think Qi Wen is afraid, and he wants to return to Beijing earlier. It just so happens that Eunuch Song is here, so it's good to be a companion."

"Who said he's going back to Beijing earlier, what's going on?" Daiyu asked hastily.You have only come here from a long way, and you haven't stayed for a few days, so what are you rushing back to do?Besides, didn't you agree to go with them when the time came?

"You're talking nonsense again. When you hear that the wind is rain." Eunuch Chen took the whisk and pointed it at Lu'er, and then quickly explained to Daiyu, "Don't pay attention to this brat, just take it seriously after hearing a word Back to the princess, Eunuch Song told me just now that Princess Hechang misses you and Qi Wen very much. Recently, I met Master Qi and Mrs. Qi, and I like them more and more. Therefore, I am grateful for the good matchmaker Princess Hechang, and hope to see you soon Princess. Qi Wen hesitated, probably saying that the Lord is tired of him, but it may not mean that he wants to drive him away, so he is not in a hurry."

"Well, you're right when you say that." Daiyu nodded, then looked at Lu'er and said, "Is it true or not? If Qi Wen really wants to go back first, it's better to let him go. Don't let him alone The son-in-law gave me the reason to escort me. My sister must be upset if she finds out, and others won’t like it. Besides, we’re just stopping here now, and we won’t be going anywhere in the near future, so it’s much easier.” Although reluctant, some Things are not things that can or should be changed by reluctance.

"Go back to the princess, don't think too much about it. Since Qi Wen has made up his mind to accompany the princess and the master, he will not go back early. We will know when we see him later." Eunuch Chen quickly comforted him, "It's today How should I sit at the table? Or drive these little kids outside to eat at will, so as not to disturb the princess's pleasure? And the slave is worried that the prefect of Qin and his wife will come to greet the princess again later, do you need to make preparations in advance? "

"Didn't you come here already?" Daiyu was a little impatient.

It's not good for people to be too attentive, since Daiyu came here with no flags and drums, the magistrate came every day, didn't he want to cover it up, and made the speculation outside even more lively.Those who have such a good thing even start a bet.Some say it's an official, some say it's a businessman.Those who talk about officials think that the magistrate of Gusu, the fourth rank, can barely be regarded as a big official in the frontier, so how can he show courtesy to Shang?Therefore, it must be a high-ranking official, or it may be passing through this place after retiring from old age and returning home, but there must be some influence in the world with peaches and plums.Those who talk about Shang think that they must wear official robes when they meet officials, and what officials are inconvenient to meet in public?Therefore, it must be a businessman, doing big business, and it is very likely that it is a collusion between the government and the businessman.The magistrate has gained great benefits, or it is inconvenient to discuss in the mansion, so he naturally comes here.

Holding Daiyu in his arms, Buddha said with a smile: "in this case, it's better to close the gate of the garden after the sun sets to the west. The officials of the government office eat and drink in the four gates. Our people, except those who look at the house everywhere, only Come over here, take turns to be on duty, eat and drink. No matter who comes outside, don’t spread the word, and at the end of the day, you will be scolded a few times, and no one will bother us. How about it?"

"That's good, but if you really come, you can't refuse the door. It's not in compliance with the rules." Daiyu frowned, sighed, and then ordered, "Eunuch Chen, let someone pass on the word, the officials in the government office outside The door is also closed earlier today. If someone comes, let it go without calling the door. If you call the door, come in and send a message. The crab and chrysanthemum wine will be sent to them after the kitchen is ready. In addition... each person will be rewarded with half a penny. But Don't get drunk, you'll be beaten!" Looking at Sui'er, Daiyu hastily added.

After Eunuch Chen finished giving orders, everyone here began to sit at the table, and Sui'er had to go down the mountain to be on duty. Xichun clapped her hands and smiled, "Good sister, that's good. I just remembered something. I've been so busy recently, I'm always a little tired , I went to these many places again, looking at new things, but I didn’t find anything interesting. Now I want to live here for a while, why don’t we start a poetry club, as long as we get together, we will write poems and paintings for fun, OK?"

Daiyu nodded and smiled, "Okay, since you're all interested, I can't ask for it."

Xichun happily stood up, took Daiyu's hand and said with a smile: "My good sister, I'll just say yes. Now that I've been to so many places, I've gained a lot of knowledge and ideas, so I don't have to make things together as before. And although my poems are very common, my brother-in-law keeps secrets, Qi Wenwen is not inferior to martial arts, and Xueyan Shuangsi thinks about them. Recently, Jiuer also learned it. Let's learn together, no matter good or bad, just for fun, And it's progressing fast."

"Miss praised me." Xueyan just came over to cover Daiyu with a small quilt, and quickly shook her head and smiled, "If you want to write poetry, I will study ink for everyone, and you can also be a master. If the evaluation is not good, please ask Give more pointers, girl."

Eunuch Chen hastily stretched out his hand to pull her aside, and said with a smile: "It's not easy to be in charge of the altar. If you know how to appreciate it, you have to be fair. If you play with the princess, I'm afraid it will be biased. And you can also compose poems. Since the fourth girl As I said before, no matter good or bad, everyone just wants to have fun, so don't be modest. I'll sell this altar to the old and take it first."

Shuang Siyin'er waited to bring up the hot crabs, Jiu'er cooked them on the footsteps in front of Daiyu, lay down on the low table and peeled them carefully before putting them in front of Daiyu, without bothering to intervene.On the contrary, Eunuch Song and Qi Wen came in from the outside and said with a smile: "I used to hear that the girls of Jia's family are very handsome. Not only are they beautiful, but they are also beautiful and talented, and they are all well-educated. Today I want Gain a lot of knowledge, and learn about the knowledge of the princess. However, it is most fair for me to take charge of the arena today."

Shuangsi carefully served Daiyu for a cup of wine, then carefully smiled and said, "Elder-in-law is in a good time. It's just that only the princess and the two sons-in-law are doing well in this poetry club, and we probably only have to watch the fun. If it's just for fun, it's okay. But it must be too strict, otherwise we will probably only have the job of studying ink and transcribing."

Daiyu ate two spoonfuls of crab roe and a chopstick of crab meat with Buddha's hand, then nodded and smiled: "No limit, no limit. Only the topic is limited each time, otherwise it will not be decent if there is no composition. Today, since It's the Double Ninth Festival, so naturally this is the question. Everyone can think about it now, and there will be rewards for doing well. And..." Daiyu looked at Xichun, thought about it, and then smiled, "Since If you start a society, someone should take turns to be the host. Every time it’s your turn, no matter whether it’s tea, snacks, or choosing a place to set a topic, you have to be responsible for the preparations. There are also transcriptions, etc., and you have to make arrangements. What do you think?”

Shuying stood aside and said with a smile: "Princess, we probably won't be able to afford the crab banquet for this table, and there are still some tea and snacks. But there is one thing, most of us have to be on duty. The princess will allow us to partner, It’s enough to do things a few more times. Also, it doesn’t matter if you have poems or songs, as long as you have it, otherwise it will be difficult for us to do it. Another thing, the princess often asks us to read more books, some people are always lazy, so I can't spare him now, so I can also absolve him next time, how about it?"

Xichun hurriedly nodded and smiled, "What my sister said is true. Every club should have a lottery, and it will only be given according to the best. When it's the owner's turn, he will give it to whoever says it is good. That's it." A handkerchief also has a meaning. Sister said, okay?"
