A Dream of Red Mansions Unexpected Visitors

After the filial piety passed, both Daiyu and Qingxuan thought that the spring banquet would not be held, but Mrs. Zhou Shilang also held a daughter banquet. Not only did she post a post for Daiyu, but she could also bring some sisters there at will .Daiyu thought that Yingchun and other sisters were getting older now, and it was time to go out to socialize.Sister Feng followed Jia Lian to a foreign post. Mrs. Wang never mentioned these things, I'm afraid she didn't want to at all. All she met were old concubines like Princess Nan'an, so how could she invite them to these banquets held by wives of various families.So after telling Jia's mother that she would take Yingchun Tanchun and Xiangyun with her, Baoqin was unwilling to go to the banquet of the official's family because of this, and Baochai was no different.Xichun is still young, so Daiyu is not in a hurry, not to mention her withdrawn temper, Daiyu is also afraid of causing trouble.

Mother Jia was very happy when she heard it. In fact, she had long asked Mrs. Wang to take the girls in the mansion to some banquets in various houses, so as to find some good prospects. She went, but Tanchun was no longer young, and she still didn't mention a word.He said it well in front of him, turned around and ignored it, and asked a few more questions, only saying that he was busy with things in the house.After Sister Feng left, she became more righteous, she was really short-sighted, and she knew that she was just a fifth-rank pleasant, with a low status among the people, and it was not easy to raise her head, but the girl in the mansion found a good marriage, Isn't Baoyu and the empress in the palace the patrons?Now that Yu'er can be so considerate of the sisters in the mansion, it is not in vain that he loves her all day long. Min'er's daughters are kind-hearted, so I must protect them.So Jia Mu ordered Yuanyang to take the jewels and jade in her dowry, and went outside to make several expensive heads, which were elegant and graceful, and rewarded Daiyu with some.

After going to the daughter's banquet, the girls from other families saw that Daiyu and Yingchun Tanchun sisters were all well-spoken and knowledgeable, and they were not vulgar fans at all. The bad words are different, so I gradually accepted the four of them.Chen Yu, the daughter of General Chen, knew that her elder brother thought of Daiyu as a gentleman, and her mother asked her to inquire about Daiyu's character, so she took the initiative to talk to Daiyu, check her words, and judge her character. I just feel that I am not as good as I am, and my speech, manners and appearance are higher than other girls. When I think that such a good girl will become my sister-in-law, I will definitely not worry that I will not get along well with her in the future.

After these girls got acquainted with each other, they also wrote poems and lyrics to each other, because Daiyu and the others talked about the poetry club they had started before, and they were not limited to rhyming those poems, and all the girls said it was novel.Therefore, Li Jiyue, the second lady of Li Shilang's family, is very lively and has friendship with other girls, so she got up and grabbed Chen Yu and laughed, "Since everyone is curious now, people like us can't be left behind. Afterwards, we will all start a commune. Although it is already summer, the peach blossoms in Yongji Temple are blooming late this year, and the scenery is just right these few days. Why don't we invite a time together to go there to enjoy the beautiful scenery and do the commemorative history, "Let's talk, took a breath, and said with a smile: "Who is the hero of the Lianshe, who alone promises men and eyebrows, and uses Dongshan's elegant meeting to make Yu Zhifan."

Because these girls were sitting and playing together alone, not with the adults in front, this time when there was a lot of commotion, Mrs. Zhou sent someone to ask what happened, and Zhou Pinlan, the hostess's girl, came Go to the front and tell the ladies what happened just now.The ladies saw that they got along well, and at this time other girls came out, acting coquettishly and judging.At the end of the quarrel, Mrs. Chen couldn't bear it anymore, she let go first, and said to Chen Yu: "Okay, well, I can't beat you in terms of eloquence, but it's just this one time, and you have to bring someone to accompany you to avoid anything happening. "

The other wives couldn't help it either, and they all let go, but everyone was busy with work, so they all asked their sons and daughters to escort them. Some wives also wanted to take this opportunity to let their children see each other. The marriage had already been decided before, and it happened to take this opportunity to see each other justifiably, so they agreed in the end.

After the banquet was over, Mrs. Chen went home and asked Chen Yu: "What do you think of Lin Daiyu? I just took a few glances and said a few words when I first entered the door. On the surface, it seems to be a good rule. Although the girl is weak in stature, she doesn't look delicate, but she doesn't know what's going on inside."

Chen Yu said: "Mom, don't you believe my brother's vision? She really deserves to be the girl who makes my brother fall in love. When I see her, I wish she was my own sister."

Mrs. Chen nodded her nose and said with a smile: "My Yu'er actually has someone who can be convinced. What did Miss Lin do to make you admire her so much?"

Chen Yu frowned, and said coquettishly: "Mother, am I the kind of person who doesn't know right from wrong? It's just that the girls in the past tried to please me one by one, and they all wanted to be my sister-in-law. It's not too embarrassing, she often finds me to say bad things about others, Miss Lin is neither humble nor overbearing by my side today. Her talent comes from everyone and she is not alone. When my sister Ji Yue played with me, after my hair and sideburns were messed up, she was the one who quietly waved Call me over to help me tidy up."

Mrs. Chen felt at ease. It seemed that her son had a good vision, and the choice of this daughter-in-law was not wrong.

But on the other side, after Daiyu returned to the mansion, Mrs. Wang heard that General Chen's daughter also went to the banquet, and she felt extremely regretful.When I heard that I would go to Yongji Temple to see the peach blossoms in a few days, I insisted on asking Baoyu to escort Daiyu and the others, thinking in my heart: "My Baoyu is so good, when I see General Chen's daughter I'm not afraid that she won't be tempted by my Baoyu." So a few days later, when Jiamu sent Daiyu and others in a sedan chair, Mrs. Wang sent Baoyu out, and Tanchun and others saw Baoyu being taken away by Mrs. Wang. Dressed like Fu Fan, wearing a bright red robe, everyone couldn't help laughing, and Xiangyun joked: "Brother Love, are you going to compete with our girls to see who is more beautiful?"

Although Baoyu didn't know Mrs. Wang's plan, but he naturally liked to get along with girls, and he heard that Tanchun once said in the mansion that these girls were not inferior to his sisters and others, so he naturally planned to meet them.So he also laughed and said, "If I dress filthily, wouldn't it be offensive to the girls' eyes."

Tanchun laughed and said, "Of course we girls are in one place and you men are in another place. How can we get along together?" When Baoyu heard this, he became unhappy and had nothing to say all the way.

When they arrived at the place, Baoyu waited to go in with the girls, but was stopped by the maids before going to the man's side. Since the last time, Chen Yu has been very affectionate with Daiyu, and when he saw Daiyu that day, he rushed to make friends with her. When she was talking, seeing Baoyu like this, she sneered and said, "Sister, do you usually get along with such men? No wonder the Rongguo Mansion is famous for women, and all our families look down on men." Looking good, I realized that what I said hurt Daiyu's face. After all, she lived in Rongguo Mansion, so she dared not speak anymore.Seeing this, Daiyu sighed and said, "Good sister, I'm not angry with you, I'm angry with them for not living up to expectations."

These girls chose a relatively flat peach grove, and there happened to be an unnamed pavilion, so they rested there, and the maids sorted out the pens and inks they had prepared.Some of them admired Chen Yun in their hearts. Seeing that Chen Yu and Daiyu got along well, they said: "Sister Lin, you have started a club in the past, so you are naturally experienced. Why don't you start writing first, sister, and teach us. Daiyu also He is not modest, and he writes like a spirit, but he wrote a poem of Peach Blossom Stone in just half a stick of incense. After reading it, everyone admired him, saying: "This is really a Peach Blossom Club. "The rest of the girls also began to think hard, but they came out with a few poems in a while. Although they were good, they were not as good as Daiyu's peach blossom poem. Everyone commented and praised a few more.

Unexpectedly, Xiangyun disappeared from the crowd, and she didn't see the little girl when she asked about it. Daiyu was in a hurry when she suddenly saw Xiangyun come back with a broken wicker, and said with a smile: "I went shopping nearby because I couldn't think of a good poem. After a trip, I found out that there are still a few willow trees next to the peach blossom forest. It is probably too late in the season, and there are catkins floating around. Although I can’t think of peach blossom poems, I want to add some catkin words. Don't make it, 'Is it because the embroidered velvet is vomited, and the half-curtain of fragrant mist is rolled up, and the slender hands are picked up, and the cuckoos sing and the swallows are jealous. Stay, stay! Don't let the spring go away'".Daiyu said with a smile: "God is really fair. Girl Yun didn't write peach blossom poems, and such catkin words are enough to offset it." At this time, all the girls are feeling bored after finishing peach blossom poems, and they don't want to let it go Go back, because I went to see those catkins together again.

Taking catkins as the topic, limited to various minor tunes, and wrote another word, it was already getting late, after a round of discussion, there was no adult, these girls rarely came out, so they had to barbecue in the wild, separated from them Although the men not far away were talking on the side, listening to the silver bell-like laughter not far away, they could still calm down.At this time, the girls wanted to stay for a picnic, eager to show their bravery, and forgot the orders of the adults at home, so they volunteered to go hunting.

All the girls were not worried either. Because of the large number of people on these mountains near the capital, there were hardly any ferocious beasts. They were just hares and the like, so they chatted and laughed together and waited for the men to come back from hunting. They also brought some cooking guys, ready to make tea and hot cakes, not to mention telling them to go back to get things.

Unexpectedly, there was a roar of a ferocious beast in the forest. These girls looked at each other. They must have encountered some kind of beast. They were all worried. Although Chen Yu knew that his brother was brave, he was still worried. extreme.After a while, I heard another burst of cheers, only to find that the men had all returned, and these girls couldn't remember the difference between men and women, so they hurried over to see their brothers.Only then did I find that everyone was fine, only Baoyu looked surprised, her eyes were staring straight, and she didn't respond. When she saw Tanchun and Daiyu, she burst into tears. Tanchun went up to comfort her, but Daiyu To find out what happened.

Only then did I realize that Baoyu insisted on going with him. Usually, he was a servant leading a horse, and his level was not high. Today, he drove the horse by himself, but he broke into the old forest and saw a black bear. The black bear was already full. He didn't want to move, but he still thought he was brave, and instead of killing the black bear, he shot an arrow at it, instead it angered the black bear and chased after him.Fortunately, the horse he was riding was a thousand-mile steed, and he led him back the same way.But after all he was not familiar with the way, and when the black bear chased him, Baoyu was already stunned, and he got off the horse, and the horse escaped well.It was because Chen Yun was also hunting there, and he shot the bear through the eye with an arrow, which saved Baoyu's life, but Baoyu still hasn't recovered.

Daiyu felt ashamed when she heard this, and even Tanchun blushed.Daiyu thought for a while and saw that Baoyu still hadn't come to her senses, so she had to put on the veiled hat and thank Chen Yun. She thought that Chen Yun must be a majestic man if he could shoot the black bear. And standing, not only is not inferior to Baoyu, but also more heroic.He called out to Mr. Chen, and looked at himself, with sword eyes and star eyebrows shot out coldly, making people sigh, "Sure enough, he is a real man." For some reason, Daiyu didn't even notice a movement in her heart. After thanking Chen Yun, when she turned around and went back, she only felt a gaze following her back to Qingxuan's side.

Seeing that Baoyu had nothing to do, Daiyu was afraid of disturbing everyone's interest, so she ordered someone to take him down to rest, and everyone pretended not to see that they had enjoyed a barbecue.After returning home, Mother Jia knew the reason, and seeing Baoyu came back to her senses, she praised Daiyu for handling it well and not offending these nobles in the capital, but Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth in her heart. Can the girl still fall in love with him? In her heart, she only feels that this is the bad luck brought by Daiyu, and she hates her even more.
