Chapter 36 Dream of the Red Chamber 1 scene (36)

The south pavilion is on the left side of Taoyao Pavilion. It is an octagonal pavilion. There is a white gauze curtain hanging outside the pavilion. The bottom of the gauze curtain is decorated with white jade pendants. Under the breeze, the gauze curtain shakes slightly, which is quite ethereal.

The maid of the county prince's mansion led Lin Daiyu and his party to the south pavilion, and she opened the gauze curtain to invite them into the pavilion.

The pavilion is quite large, and there are many young women sitting in it. The woman sitting directly above the stone table is wearing a small gown with gold brocade and silver trim, and a double-breasted long skirt embroidered with golden peony patterns on the inside, wearing a cross bun and hair. There is a golden hollow hibiscus hairpin in the middle of the topknot, with golden thread on both sides. It looks dignified and very rich. This is Lian Xinyan, the first daughter of Nan'an County Prince's Mansion.

When Lian Xinyan saw Lin Daiyu and the others coming in, she winked at the girls sitting on the right side of the stone table, and those girls stood up and changed positions.

"This is the younger sisters from the Lin family and the Rongguo family, come and sit down." Lian Xinyan smiled at Lin Daiyu and the others, pointing to the seats beside her.

Lin Daiyu thanked her, and sat down on the right side of the stone table in the aisle. Sanchun followed her. When Xue Baochai sat down, Lian Xinyan asked, "Who is this younger sister? She looks strange."

Xue Baochai was taken aback for a moment, she took a step back and was about to introduce herself, when the maid next to Lian Xinyan said, "This girl is the daughter of the Royal Merchant Xue's family after Ziwei Sheren."

"Oh, so that's the case." Lian Xinyan made a sudden realization expression, she pointed to the seat next to Jia Xichun and said, "Miss Xue, sit down."

Lin Daiyu paused with her hand on the stone table, Lian Xinyan must know Xue Baochai's identity, she said that deliberately to save Xue Baochai's face, but why?She suppressed her tossing thoughts and began to observe the people in the pavilion calmly.

This seemed to be just a small episode. After Xue Baochai was seated, Nanting became lively again, and Lian Xinyan asked the maids to bring paper and pens.

"It's a poetry meeting, but jokes are the main thing. You don't have to be restrained. The spring is just right, and the peach blossoms are in full bloom. We will write a few peach blossom poems. At that time, we will collect the poems of the sisters and publish a book of "Beijing Poetry Records."

"What the county lord said is true. This peach blossom banquet is not very interesting just to enjoy the peach blossoms." A woman in a blue dress spoke. After she finished speaking, she smiled at Lin Daiyu: "Sister Lin's brother is the number one scholar. , I think your poems must be well written."

Lian Xinyan wiped her hands with a handkerchief, and introduced to Lin Daiyu with a smile: "Her name is Chen Rong, and her elder brother is Tanhua Chen Zhuoyuan. As soon as you come, she will follow you."

All kinds of cute laughter came from the South Pavilion, Lin Daiyu turned her head slightly, and looked at this "enemy" carefully. She was very petite, with bright eyes, and she had a kind of temperament like Wang Xifeng.

Chen Rong sat opposite Lin Daiyu, raised her head and said, "In my heart, my brother is the best. If your brother beats mine, I will definitely beat you!"

Lin Daiyu wiped the rice paper on the stone table, raised her eyes and said, "Miss Chen has an offer, but she won't refuse, please!"

The corner of Chen Rong's mouth curled up, she leaned over her desk and picked up a pen, and began to write.

Lin Daiyu raised her sleeves, flicked her wrists, and the elegant lower script with hairpin flowers appeared on the white rice paper.

Every word in her pen has a special charm. As she writes, these words seem to be infused with soul, and everyone seems to smell the fragrance of peach blossoms between the lines.

After a cup of tea, Chen Rong had finished the poem. She waved her hand to ask the maid to send the poem to Lian Xinyan, and then looked at Lin Daiyu with a proud face.

Lian Xinyan and Chen Rong put the peach blossom poems on the left hand side, she waited for a while, and Lin Daiyu also finished writing.

""Peach Blossom Journey"." Lian Xinyan glanced at Lin Daiyu, and read out the long poem. As she recited, the eyes of the emotional girls in the pavilion turned red, and some even shed tears

Lian Xinyan sobbed, "This poem is excellent, only a little sad."

"I think this sadness is just right." A girl in pink standing behind Lian Xinyan said: "Sister Lian, I think these two poems are very good, but Sister Lin's is even better. Miss Chen's "Appreciation" "Peach" is catchy, and it's not bad, but the traces of imitation are too heavy, and when I heard it suddenly, I thought it was written by Chen Tanhua."

Chen Rong's face turned pale, she bit her lip, and did not refute.

"Xiyu, don't talk nonsense." Lian Xinyan patted the girl in pink, "Others are welcome too, let's write them all." As for which of these two poems is better, everyone understands, she doesn't need Said clearly.

The pointing eyes of everyone in the pavilion made Chen Rong very unhappy. She stood up abruptly, turned over the inkstone on the stone table with her sleeves, and spilled ink in the direction of Lin Daiyu.

Xueyan reacted quickly, she stood sideways in front of Lin Daiyu, and used her back to block the spilled ink.

"Oh." Lian Xinyan exclaimed, and quickly stood up: "Sister Lin, is everything okay?"

"I'm fine." Lin Daiyu also stood up, she was completely blocked by the snow geese, there was nothing wrong with her body, but it was the snow geese, her clothes were stained with a lot of ink.

Lian Xinyan glanced at Chen Rong with displeasure, and ordered the maid beside her to take Xueyan down to change clothes, while she went to Lin Daiyu to apologize repeatedly.

Chen Rong's eyes turned red, she ran out without saying a word, and several women who were close to Chen Rong also followed her.

A trace of disdain flashed in Lian Xinyan's eyes, just caught by Lin Daiyu, she took a step back and opened the distance between them.

"Sister Lin..." Before Lian Xinyan could speak, the old lady of the palace happened to walk into the Nanting.

"Master, the princess said that the flower banquet is about to begin, and I want you to take all the girls there."

"In this case, all sisters, go to the flower banquet with me."

Lian Xinyan walked in the front, others filed out, and Xue Baochai was last.

Jia Xichun took two steps, felt that Xue Baochai was still standing there, turned around and asked, "Sister Bao, why don't you leave? What are you looking at?"

Xue Baochai rubbed the ink on the ground with his foot, and said with a smile, "The ink is splashed just right."

"Huh?" Jia Xichun's eyes flashed doubts.

Xue Baochai smiled, "Let's go, they're all gone." Chen Rong did it on purpose, otherwise the ink wouldn't have spilled so high. If the snow geese hadn't blocked it, the ball of ink might have appeared on Lin Daiyu's clothes .

There is a row of bungalows behind Taoyao Pavilion, where servants live.At this time, Lin Yuzhou kicked the stunned boy aside, turned around and looked at Xueyan, and was relieved when he found that her expression hadn't changed.

Xueyan was brought over to change clothes, and the maid who brought her closed the door of the room and left. This young servant suddenly appeared. If Lin Yuzhou hadn't been following Xueyan and the others, the reputation of Lin's mansion would have been well known. Now, when he thought that this trick was almost used on Daiyu, he had an urge to destroy the whole family of the king of Nan'an County.

Xueyan is also smart, as soon as she saw Lin Yuzhou, she recounted what happened to Nanting.

Lin Yuzhou snorted lightly, he lifted the boy up, and told Xueyan: "Go and stay with Yu'er, don't leave even a single step, and tell Liu Xu, whoever dares to get close to Yu'er, will be thrown out."

Xueyan bent down and said respectfully: "Yes." After finishing speaking, she pointed to the servant in Lin Yuzhou's hand and asked, "Then what should he do?"

Lin Yuzhou scoffed coldly: "Give the princess a big gift."

After Xueyan left, Lin Yuzhou tapped the boy's acupoints, and he would never wake up within three or four hours. After doing this, he carried the man to the room of the Nan'an County King and his wife in Taoyao Pavilion, and pulled the man's clothes There was only one underpants left, and then he threw it on the big bed in the room, pulled off the bed curtain, smiled coldly and left.

On the first floor of Taoyao Pavilion, white window screens fluttered in the wind. People in the pavilion sat around the long table. Lin Daiyu sat beside Jia Min, and a maid from Nan'an County Prince's Mansion knelt before her.

Princess Nan'an said with a stern face: "This girl's hand is not steady, she can't even serve a soup, so let's take her down."

Just now, this girl fell to the ground with a bowl of hot soup. If it wasn't for Liu Xu's vigilance, Lin Daiyu would be dripping with chicken soup right now.

After Liu Xu caught the soup bowl, she volleyed back the spilled soup into the bowl. Because the action was too fast, no one present noticed her series of actions.

Jia Min wiped her mouth and didn't say anything else, just asked Lin Daiyu to sit beside her.

After a while, Xueyan walked into Taoyao Pavilion, she called Zijuan to a corner, and whispered something to her.

A stern light flashed in Zijuan's eyes after hearing this, and she brought Xueyan's words to Mother Liu.

After the maid was taken down, the banquet resumed its excitement. Lin Daiyu ate a little and stopped moving her chopsticks. She glanced at all the people at the banquet. They all had smiles on their faces, but they might not be really happy in their hearts.

After the banquet, Jia Min took Lin Daiyu out of Taoyao Pavilion, and when passing by Chen Rong, he glanced at her coldly.

"Mrs. Lin." Princess Nan'an called Jia Min, and she brought Lian Xinyan over, "Every year the Peach Blossom Banquet is the most lively boat trip around the lake, and young people like it, why don't Miss Lin go to the boat with Yan'er Play."

Lin Daiyu blessed Nan'an Wangfei: "Thank you, Wangfei, Daiyu has been feeling cold recently and is not suitable for taking a boat, please forgive me."

Princess Nan'an was taken aback, she was waiting to say anything else, Jia Min took the lead and said: "Jiaci is not feeling well, I have been out with Yu'er for a long time and I am quite worried, the banquet is over, so I bid farewell to the princess and go home, I hope you will forgive me Then one."

Princess Nan'an's face was pulled down: "Is Mrs. Lin suddenly unwell? This is really a coincidence."

Jia Min responded tit for tat: "Yes, there are many coincidences in the world, and Yu'er had two accidents today. It's also a coincidence, isn't it?"

"Princess." The old nanny next to Princess Nan'an came over and whispered a few words in her ear, and her face immediately became very ugly. She waved the nanny back and said to Jia Min: "Madam Lin, let's go!" OK, don't send it!"

Jia Min snorted coldly, and led Lin Daiyu down the mountain road.

Lian Xinyan looked at Lin Daiyu's back, and when she turned around, she glanced in Chen Rong's direction.

Chen Rong's complexion changed, but she still brought several Kong Wuli's mothers down the mountain with Lin Daiyu and the others.

After leaving Taoyao Pavilion, Liu Xu glanced behind her, and she said a few words to Xue Yan before slowing down her pace.

Peach blossoms are flourishing in March, which is very suitable for exercising your muscles and bones.
