A Dream of Red Mansions Unexpected Visitors

Before you know it, the summer has passed, and Baoyu is extremely boring in the garden, but Jiamu still won't let him go out.On this day, he suddenly received a post from Tanchun about starting a poetry club, and he was overjoyed.It was the first time for everyone to see such a thing, and they all went too.So everyone took another name, but it depends on where they live. Because Daiyu didn't like her own name, she insisted on starting again, so she gave the name Lingzhou to Yingchun. myself recently.Xichun's Liaofengxuan had a bad name, so she chose Ouxiangxie, which was close to her, and named it Hezhu because she liked the character of the crane.Because Xiangyun lives in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion now, everyone wanted to call her Concubine Xiaoxiang, but she thought it was too sad and gloomy, so she remembered a Zhenxia Pavilion in her home, so she called her Zhenxia Fairy.Among them, Daiyu, Baochai and Xiangyun did the best work. After writing it, the rest of them read and praised it.Finally commented again.

Because Xiangyun invited the host on the second day, Baochai decided to invite Xiangyun to Hengwuyuan for a rest.But Xiangyun was unwilling because of the previous incident, so he said: "I always like to live with sister Lin. Although my sister's place is spacious, it is cold. I don't like living in such a place." Cloud come over.

The three of them drank tea for a while at Zilingzhou, and Xiangyun lost his temper and discussed how to set up a topic.Baochai interjected, "If you want to start a company, you must be the owner. Although it's just a play between us sisters, it must not offend others, but it must also be fun to play. Just a little money a month is enough to do it." What's the use, just for this, should I ask my family to ask for it?"

Xiangyun became anxious when he heard this, so Baochai suggested to take a few baskets of crabs from his shop and send a few tables of fruit dishes.By the way, I even invited the old ladies and others, and it was my filial piety, and the sisters had a good time.

Xiang Yun nodded repeatedly, but felt that something was wrong.

Daiyu said: "Sister Bao's words are wrong. If we sisters care about money and other things, what's the point? Even if there are those things that are not thoughtful, they are also Sister Yun's own wishes. If you want to be considerate, you might as well not Do it yourself, let Sister Feng do the preparations directly. Take a step back and say, Sister Yun has little monthly money, but the money in our rouge shop has a monthly bonus of 20 taels, even though it was the Double Ninth Festival. It won't take much effort to tell a kid to go now. If the crabs and fruit plates were sent by Sister Bao, is it still Sister Yun's host? Please come to the old lady and the people from the house to go up and down a few times Hundreds of people, who doesn't know that it was Sister Bao who helped you, wouldn't this embarrass Sister Yun?"

Only then did Xiangyun realize that if he really asked Sister Bao to help, and invited a whole garden of people, everyone knew that Sister Bao, a daughter of an imperial merchant, was better than herself, a noble daughter of a noble family, wouldn't it be embarrassing for herself.Busy rejected Baochai's proposal.

After Baochai was rejected, she was not annoyed, and said: "After all, I didn't think carefully enough, it's just a proposal."

After thinking about it, Xiangyun still had no choice, so he asked Daiyu: "Yu'er, help me think about it too, or I won't talk to you."

Daiyu laughed and said, "I see you are really looking for a donkey on a donkey. Is the chrysanthemum cake you ate the day before yesterday good?"

Xiangyun understood as soon as he heard it, and came to hug Daiyu, begging: "My good sister, please lend me sister Xia He, if I get it, I will never forget you tomorrow."

Daiyu just laughed, and Xiangyun scratched her itch. Daiyu couldn't stop laughing, and hurriedly responded: "My good sister, don't rub it, I promise you. If this is the case, I will be a good person to the end and send Buddha away." Send it to the west, since it’s autumn, let’s have a chrysanthemum banquet tomorrow. The chrysanthemum petals I asked you to pick with me a few days ago have been made into chrysanthemum wine, and they will be served together tomorrow. The poetry club will open after lunch tomorrow. Then everyone has finished their meal, there is nothing to do in the small kitchen, and our little snacks are just enough to taste something new. You don’t have to thank me, and next time you bring the crimson stone ring, just give it to Xia He.”

Xiangyun thanked her, overjoyed, and said: "Except for this chrysanthemum wine and chrysanthemum cake, I don't need Sister Xia He to make the rest, and there are still a few taels of bonus silver that I gave me last time, since the poetry club was only opened after dinner. , I think the big kitchen in our garden is fine, I asked them to make some fresh and seasonal snacks, and don't want those greasy ones, just fresher ones are the best."

Baochai couldn't get in the conversation all the time, so she said at this time: "It's also very good, then let's compose chrysanthemum poems according to the occasion, just don't fall into the cliché."

Although Xiangyun didn't like Baochai, he didn't want to offend her completely, saying: "Very well, but I'm very greedy for that crab then, and when my sister is the host, let's invite the old lady and the others."

The three of them discussed for a while, and decided on [-] topics with chrysanthemum as the guest and people as the main subject, with a mixture of fiction and reality.After Baochai went back to the house, Daiyu called Xia He, and Xiangyun gave orders for a long time before falling asleep.

If there is no one to live in and a beautiful place, there is only Ou Xiangxie, so Xiangyun decided to serve wine there.When everyone came to have a look, they saw that there were only a few small tables with some fresh fruits and a plate of chrysanthemum cakes on them.The cake is small, ingenious and cute, but the size of a fingertip, and it can be eaten in one bite. When you twist one into your mouth, you will find a faint scent of chrysanthemums, which lingers on your lips and teeth, not to mention that it is not so greasy. a feeling of.Everyone said: "It's terrible, after eating your chrysanthemum cake, I'm more likely to write chrysanthemum poems."

Shi Xiangyun ignored him, but ordered the maids to send some to the old lady, and asked Fan Fenglu to make tea.

When Baoyu saw it, he said, "This is interesting, but why don't you heat up the wine too?"

Xiangyun glanced at him and said: "That's why you don't understand. Chrysanthemum wine doesn't need to be heated. Take it out in the morning and put it under the sun. It will be warm at noon. It tastes good. It's not easy to drink. Serving on that chrysanthemum cake, even a god can't compare to it," said he crossed his waist, "if you still can't write good poems like this, don't blame me for being rude to you." As he said that, he bent his waist with a smile .

Xiangyun took the title of the poem and tied it on the wall with a needle. Everyone frowned when they saw it. Fortunately, Xiangyun continued to say unlimited rhymes, and everyone said: "This is interesting." Then they all fell into thought.

After doing it for a while, they commented on each other.Just laughing and making noise, someone came to report that Grandma Liu came to the old lady's room.No matter who this grandma Liu is, she is not actually a serious relative of Jia's family, but she was connected to the Wang family before, and got financial support from Sister Feng.She is also a person who knows how to repay her kindness. Because of the bumper harvest this year, she sent some dates, pumpkins and wild vegetables.

It happened that Sister Feng was in front of Jia Mu. After hearing this, Jia Mu asked who this grandma Liu was. After knowing that she was an old man with many years, she was also a sensible person.It just so happened that I was getting older, and I liked to chat about some local and wild anecdotes, so I hurriedly invited you here.When all the sisters heard about it, they all rushed to the old lady's house to join in the fun because they had never seen such a person and they had finished their poems.

Grandma Liu saw a group of girls surrounded by pearls and greenery coming in, but she felt that she couldn't get enough of seeing them. After drinking tea, Grandma Liu told Mother Jia what she had seen and heard in the village. None of the storytellers who have been to the mansion have such a wild interest.Although Grandma Liu is a villager, she has some knowledge and is old and has experienced the world. She knows that this is a rare good fortune of her own, so she has to make up some words even if she has nothing to say. time.

Sister Feng sent someone to invite Grandma Liu to dinner, and Mother Jia gave her her own food. Sister Feng knew that Grandma Liu was in line with her old man's wishes, so she cleaned up Grandma Liu and invited her to stay for another night.When Jia Mu heard about it, she smiled and said, "Sure enough, you, Feng Lazi, understand what I mean. Let's treat her to dinner tomorrow."

Baochai originally wanted to invite everyone in the mansion to enjoy the scenery through Xiangyun's host, but was rejected. This time, there was Grandma Liu, which was a good excuse, so she stood up and said, "There is a guy in our pawn shop, he There are very good fat crabs grown in the farmland, and the previous one sent several baskets, our family has not invited the old lady this year, and now we are so handsome, we will invite the old lady once."

Because Xiangyun refuted Baochai's words last night, he naturally wanted to make up for it now, not to mention that there was Mrs. Wang behind Baochai, and she didn't want to offend her.Then he clapped his hands and said: "This is a good idea. More than half of the people in this mansion, from the old lady to the courtyard, like to eat crabs. This is exactly what I think. Old lady, you should agree."

Mother Jia really agreed.

After everyone dispersed, a few little maids broke their mouths.A little servant girl said: "Miss Bao's family is really rich, this crab is very valuable now, and I want to invite people from the house, there are hundreds of people up and down."

Another little maid curled her lips and said: "You are just here, how can everyone be invited, but those who have a name and surname can eat it, and those who are scattered, there are some who can touch it and some who can't. , It depends on your own means."

The servant girl said: "It's you who said, Miss Yun is taking advantage of Miss Bao today as the host."

The little girl who just arrived was surprised and said: "How is it possible, Miss Yun is a noble daughter of the Hou family."

Another said: "Miss Ke Yun used to say that her aunt let her do her own sewing until the third watch, and she even made her own clothes on weekdays."

The little maid who was serving in Daiyu's room next to her was already impatient, and said: "You don't know this, but Miss Yun in the rouge shop opened by our girl has a dividend, 20 taels of silver a month, where is it?" No money. If Miss Yun takes advantage of Miss Bao, she won’t eat that crab today, but wait until tomorrow.”

The rest of the girls nodded and said, "That's right, after all, they have status, how can they take advantage of Miss Bao's light!" After talking for a while, the monthly money for this month was paid even later, and they dispersed after a while. up.At this time, a person came out from the corner, it was Cuilu, Xiangyun's personal servant girl, she stroked her chest secretly, then went back and told Xiangyun, Xiangyun was even more grateful to Daiyu, so she didn't need to mention it.

The author has something to say: In the original book, it is said that Jia Yingchun lived in Zhuijinlou, Xichun lived in Liaofengxuan, and when she wrote the poem, she said that she lived in Zilingzhou, and Xichun lived in Ouxiangxie, so I still let Yingchun live in Zhuijin Building as mentioned in Chapter 23, and Zilingzhou let Daiyu live.Xichun still lives in Liaofengxuan, but it is next to Ouxiangxie.
